Chapter 3645: Coercion
Faced with Fang Jun's rogue behavior, which was almost like "framing", Cheng Yaojin was so angry that his veins were beating, but he had no choice but to do anything. Not to mention whether he would believe it even if he went to Changsun Wuji and explained that he had nothing to do with Changsun Anye's death. How could his character, Cheng Yaojin, be so low-minded and degrade himself?
Changsun Wuji is indeed powerful, but Cheng Yaojin has never been afraid of him, let alone humiliated in front of him...
Therefore, Fang Jun's plan to suddenly kill Changsun Anye is simply unsolvable. As long as Cheng Yaojin does not want Guan Long to counterattack him in the future, he can only help Fang Jun to persuade Li Ji as much as possible to ensure that Donggong will win this time. Won a complete victory in the military remonstrance.
But in his early years, Li Ji was full of cunning ideas and tight-lipped. Who knows what he was thinking? As long as he doesn't want to completely surrender to the East Palace, unless His Majesty comes in person, there are very few people in the world who can make him change his mind.
But now His Majesty has passed away...
Cheng Yaojin was extremely depressed, glanced at the head on the table, glared at Fang Jun and said: "What do you want?"
Fang Jun drank water slowly, holding the water bowl, and said: "It's very simple. Please cooperate with Duke Lu to persuade the British Duke... You shouldn't say that the British Duke has promised to the eldest son Anye, right?"
"Hmph!"
Cheng Yaojin snorted angrily, as if he wanted to spit out all his unhappiness from his nostrils: "Of course I don't, but I didn't refuse either."
Fang Jun took a sip of water and clicked his tongue.
Disapproval, non-rejection, irresponsibility... What a familiar trick, this British man is an old scumbag.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Isn't it possible that when I go down to persuade you, the British Lord will do the same thing?"
Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "That's probably the case, so if you want to convince Li Ji, it's impossible to succeed. That guy has had ideas since he was a child, and he won't be impressed by others. Unless he wants to join the East Palace, even if he is His Highness the Prince, If you come in person, you won’t be able to change his mind, so you’d better save yourself.”
He glanced at Changsun Anye's head again and saw that the dead man's eyes seemed to be glaring at him, so he sighed and said, "That's why Changsun Anye died with regrets. You were too cruel."
Fang Jun put down the water bowl and spread his hands: "Everyone can punish rebellious ministers and traitors. Duke Lu is deeply favored by your majesty, so he should abide by your majesty's will. The prince is appointed by your majesty in the golden canon. He is the treasure of the world and has great honor and righteousness." Now, is Lu Guogong still thinking about trying to get benefits from both sides? ”
Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "Have I ever thought of that?"
Fang Jun plausibly said: "If this is the case, then the British Duke led his troops abroad and has not returned for a long time. Why didn't Duke Lu give him advice?"
"Is that guy able to persuade him even if he wants to?"
Cheng Yaojin looked helpless and sighed: "When it comes to the depth of the city, everyone in the world knows Changsun Wuji, but not many people know that Changsun Wuji, a British public comparison, is even worse, but he is You are always low-key and do not fight for power or profit, so everyone looks down on you. I have watched you grow up, and we have a deep love for each other, so I will give you a piece of advice, a British man. The whole group may seem lighthearted, but in fact they all have profound meanings. When we look at the right and wrong of the problem, we have already transcended this interface and looked at the overall situation from a higher level... It is my duty to help the prince convince the British prince, but no matter what, I still believe that the British are not just those powerful traitors who sit back and watch the empire rot, just waiting to get whatever they want.”
Some trust is based on the accumulation of experiences of life and death and bloody battles. It may not have anything to do with friendship or family affection, but some people can always trust others at critical moments. There is no doubt that in Cheng Yaojin's heart, Li Ji is like this kind of people.
From beginning to end, he believed that Li Ji must have a plan, and the results of this plan must be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, and he might even completely abandon his own interests...
Of course, this does not mean that Cheng Yaojin will not help Fang Jun try to persuade Li Ji. He also wants to test Li Ji's bottom line and intentions.
Fang Jun also understood that outstanding people like Li Ji, who had reached the realm of "one person is inferior to ten thousand people", must be people with firm will and perseverance. It is extremely difficult to convince them.
But he still asked Cheng Yaojin to accompany him there. Testing Li Ji's tendency was on the one hand, and exposing Cheng Yaojin's position to the world so that he had to be tied to the East Palace chariot was another...
The old man and the young man looked at each other and saw each other's true intentions, and they did not resist each other.
Cheng Yaojin glanced at the head on the table again and couldn't help but complain: "Everyone is his own master, why should he leave no room for it?"
This mutiny was nothing more than an internal power struggle within the Tang Dynasty. Regardless of victory or defeat, in the end only Changsun Wuji and the Crown Prince were involved in life and death matters, and at most their children would be affected. Although others were involved, once the outcome was decided, everyone returned to their previous state of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country. There was no difference.
Killing the eldest grandson Anye like Fang Jun can be regarded as elevating the hatred between the Fang family and the eldest grandson family to an unending level. Even if Fang Jun continues to support Dong Gong, there is no need to do so. Because the eldest grandson Anye was killed today, the hatred between the two families has been forged, and they will have no choice but to fight to the death in the future. Once Guan Long wins, the whole Fang family may be wiped out.
Fang Jun kicked the eldest son Anye's head to the ground. He rolled to the corner and said calmly: "Did Duke Lu know that Guan Long tried to capture Fang Mansion when he started his army?"
Cheng Yaojin was stunned, shook his head and said: "I really don't know this."
He still thinks that way. This is just a power struggle within the court. It will not harm his wife, children and family members. Otherwise, the residences of the subordinates of the East Palace, such as Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou, etc., are all in the city. Guanlong It is impossible to bring all the family members into the East Palace where the army was raised. Now they will definitely fall into the hands of Guan Long. Is it possible for Sun Wuji to kill them all?
That is no longer a struggle for power, it is a matter of changing dynasties and life and death.
Therefore, Changsun Wuji should not go to attack Fangfu, and should even send troops to protect him, lest blind thieves disturb the Fang family and be suspected of being Changsun Wuji...
Fang Jun said: "Changsun Wuji sent people to attack Fangfu twice. If Ying Guogong hadn't taken care of him out of past love, Fangfu would have been destroyed by now. Lu Guogong can imagine that under such circumstances, once my wives and concubines fell into the hands of the rebels, What will happen to my hands?”
Cheng Yaojin remained silent.
Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates. Military disasters sometimes cause much greater damage than banditry. Since Changsun Wuji sent people to attack the Fang family, it can be seen that the hatred for the Fang family in his heart is unstoppable. How can the soldiers under his command not feel it?
In this way, the awe of the Fang family in the hearts of the soldiers will be gone. After rushing into the mansion, burning, killing, and looting will easily occur. Those beautiful female relatives can only have one end...
This is already a deadly feud and cannot be tolerated just because the enemy failed to succeed.
What's more, Changsun Chong's rebellion and Changsun Dan's death were more or less closely related to Fang Jun. In the past, they might have been able to restrain each other, but this mutiny almost took off everyone's face. , all grievances are on the table, there will be revenge, there will be grievances, there will be no end.
It was not too much for Fang Jun to kill the eldest grandson Anye, especially when he could use the death of the eldest grandson Anye to force him to go together to try to persuade Li Ji, which was even more motivational...
Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but glared at Fang Jun again. His heart was filled with hatred, but he had no other choice. He could only say bitterly: "Have you finished eating? Hurry up and hurry up after eating! I encountered such a stick like you." , It’s really bad luck for eight lifetimes!”
Fang Jun laughed, stood up and said, "I'm really sorry to trouble you, Lord Lu. I'll treat you to a nice drink some other day to make amends."
Cheng Yaojin stood up, grabbed the bag on the table and put it on his head. He turned around and picked up the horizontal knife on the side. He said angrily: "I don't dare to drink your wine. I poisoned you with arsenic for no reason. Drink it." The liver and intestines are broken! ”
He strode out of the tent with vigorous steps, his muscular body was strong and stocky, and he didn't look old at all.
Fang Jun followed him and left the camp. A warm sun in the sky spread its light, making him slightly narrow his eyes. The long-lost sunny day did not dispel the haze in his heart. It can be known from Cheng Yaojin's tone that, What Li Ji planned this time was extremely secretive. Not only could the outside world not guess it, but even Cheng Yaojin and others who had followed Li Ji through life and death could not tell him, which shows that the plan was very big.
It is very difficult to convince him...(End of Chapter)
