Chapter 3672 Second Peace Talk
Even if the crimes committed by Li Yuanjing and Chai Zhewei are mortal crimes, they must be tried and sentenced by the Three Justices. If Li Chengqian decides to make a decision, it will cause panic in the entire royal group and trigger a boycott - today If you can sentence Li Yuanjing and Chai Zhewei to death with one word, you can sentence others to death tomorrow.
Everyone yearns for the most extreme power, but everyone is afraid of the most extreme power. This is the eternal disagreement and struggle between imperial power and prime minister power...
Similarly, extreme imperial power is also the focus of dynasty changes. Everyone is afraid of the authority of extreme imperial power to decide life and death with a single word, but everyone also yearns for such extreme power. As the saying goes, "Absolute power leads to absolute corruption." No one can make mistakes without being a sage. When an emperor with ultimate power makes a mistake, hundreds of millions of people in the world will have to bear the consequences for him.
Therefore, whenever natural disasters occur and the emperor becomes ignorant, the people will be in dire straits and the dynasty will come to an end. And all the heroes in the world came together, and a process of survival of the fittest spread across Kyushu, until finally a person with the best ability and luck in the world was selected to take the lead and establish a new dynasty.
The dynasty and the world have been destroyed and reborn over and over again. For more than a thousand years, they have remained stubborn and unable to make any progress.
……
When Fang Jun resigned and left, Li Chengqian sighed with emotion, and while drinking tea, he suddenly realized that he had been led astray by the stick.
His original intention was to give Fang Jun a slap in the face and tell him not to have any plans for Jinyang. If Changle was a divorced woman, and he was too lazy to care about the two being in love, Jinyang was just a young girl waiting to be married. , if he does something immoral in his passion, the royal family’s reputation will be second to none, but it will ruin Jinyang’s life...
As a result, as soon as he started talking, he was led astray by this cunning guy.
"Alas..."
Li Chengqian rubbed his temples irritably and put the teacup aside.
He believed that Fang Jun would never have any ill intentions toward Jinyang, let alone tempt Jinyang to do something that was against ethics. But for an adult like him, he understood best that "when passion comes, blood flows." The truth is that men with high moral character are also men. As long as they are men, their resistance to this aspect will be infinitely low at certain moments, and they will do wrong things.
Of course, what's the use of crying and regretting afterwards?
It is true that Fang Jun will not take the initiative to seduce Jinyang into doing anything, but as long as you look at Jinyang's thoughts towards Fang Jun, you will know that he has been deeply in love with Fang Jun for a long time. He will be like a moth and ignore it, only coveting the glory of the moment. , thus burning himself to ashes and disappearing into smoke.
The most disgusting thing is that Gao Yang is Fang Jun's wife, but she doesn't care about Fang Jun's affairs. For example, there are countless scandals between Fang Jun and Chang Le, but Gao Yang has never been wary or prepared. ...I pampered that stick to no end, otherwise how would he dare to be so unscrupulous?
Sighing, I could only put down the worries in my heart.
After all, the morale of the rebels is strong and the situation is unpredictable. They need to do their best to defeat the rebels. Otherwise, once they are defeated, Jinyang and other princesses will either follow him into exile in the Western Regions and live in danger, or they will stay in Chang'an and become the trophies of the Guanlong clan. A descendant of Guanlong.
*****
When Yu Wenshiji and Linghu Defen came to Neizhongmen as Guanlong's "negotiation envoys", they saw that the peace negotiation team in the East Palace did not have His Royal Highness, but had Fang Jun...
Although the peace talks were extremely important, both parties were acquaintances. After bowing to each other and sitting down separately, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Yu Wenshiji smiled and said to Fang Jun: "Erlang is a young man who is full of energy on the battlefield. I envy and admire him at the same time. There are not many young and handsome men like you in the Tang Dynasty in recent years. But young people must be patient. Think carefully about everything and don’t be carried away For example, killing the eldest son Anye almost led to the complete collapse of the peace talks, and the consequences were unimaginable. If I and brother Ji Xin had not tried hard to protect it, Duke Zhao would have been furious and launched a fierce attack, and countless lives would have been lost. "
Linghu Defen also looked at Fang Jun's words, nodded slightly, and said: "Young man, I am a little excited."
Fang Jun didn't take it seriously, raised his eyebrows, leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs, held a tea cup in his hand, and said calmly: "In peace talks, both parties always compromise on a certain point, and then They test each other's roots, and talk when they can agree. If they can't reach an agreement, they continue to fight until one of them is unable to survive, or they accept all conditions that were impossible to accept before. Submissive and willing to be inferior to others, or completely destroyed. Therefore, let alone killing Changsun Wuji's brother, even if I kill his son, if the peace negotiation is beneficial to Guan Long, he will sit down and negotiate. Even if he refuses, all the Guanlong bosses can force him to sit down and talk; but if the peace talks are not good for Guanlong, even if I cry and beg for the peace talks to continue, you will still abandon it."
These two old foxes wanted to use the killing of Changsun Anye to suppress the East Palace. They tried to use Changsun Wuji's angry words to create an atmosphere in the East Palace that "the peace talks were hard-won", and then spread the word during the negotiations. The view that "mutual retreat leads to peace talks, after all Changsun Wuji has been greatly wronged" forced the East Palace to make concessions.
The smile on Yu Wenshi's face did not change, he nodded in appreciation and said: "It is said that Erlang's eloquence is unparalleled. Even if he committed a serious crime and was impeached by the censor, he could still explain himself in the Taiji Hall and successfully escape the crime, which made the censor speak against you. I am helpless, I have learned something today.”
This stick's attitude of "Let's talk if we can reach an agreement, and fight if we can't" really gave Yuwen Shiji a headache. After all, the current situation of the peace talks is led by the civil servants of the East Palace. The military side is completely disapproving of it. They pinched their noses and admitted it under the pressure of the prince. Once the peace talks break down, it will play into the hands of Fang Jun and others.
He couldn't help but look at what Xiao Yu and Cen Wenwen said, and he felt strange in his heart: He knew that Fang Jun, a stick, not only had no effect on promoting the peace talks, but also made mistakes from time to time, causing the peace talks to reach a deadlock, why did he let him sit here to participate? What about peace talks?
After facing each other for a few minutes, Xiao Yu knelt down on the thick carpet and felt the probing gaze of Yu Wenshi. He said expressionlessly: "The Duke of Yue is the pillar of the East Palace. His Royal Highness is the confidant of the East Palace. He is highly respected by everyone in the East Palace. It’s really a rare talent.”
This is definitely not true.
Why is he willing to let Fang Jun, a stick, participate in the peace talks? For this reason, he even went to the prince's place overnight, using his sharp tongue, speaking with emotion and reasoning, and explaining the reasons why Fang Jun should not be allowed to participate in the peace talks, and the prince agreed.
As a result, early this morning, this guy assembled troops outside Xuanwu Gate, placed dozens of cannons on Longshou Plain, pointed the muzzle of the cannon at Guanlong's army near Tonghua Gate, and threatened, "Please rest assured, if you pass, Long refused to accept the conditions of the East Palace, so he immediately ordered a fierce attack on the enemy at Tonghua Gate, forcing Guan Long to bow his head"...
Does that make Guan Long bow his head?
That makes me bow my head!
We are sitting here having peace talks. You are bombarding us with cannons over there. What nonsense are you talking about?
We can only agree to let this guy join the peace talks to prevent him from messing around outside while the peace talks are going on...
Cen Wenwen didn't want to waste too much time on such matters. In the final analysis, whether Fang Jun should be allowed to participate in the negotiations was a matter of the East Palace. It was an internal struggle within the East Palace and had nothing to do with Guan Long.
He took a sip of tea and placed the tea cup on the table in front of him. The tea cup touched the table with a soft "dong" sound, and he got straight to the point: "Last time, the request made by the East Palace, I wonder how you will think about it? If you agree, we will We can discuss the next matters; if you don’t agree, then today’s peace talks are not necessary. It will save trouble if everyone disperses as soon as possible.”
Yu Wenshi refused to give in: "I still don't know how the East Palace will respond to the request we made last time? As for peace talks, we must compromise and understand each other before we can work together."
The last peace talks were very brief. The request of the East Palace was that the Guanlong army should abandon their weapons, surrender and disband on the spot. The request of the East Palace was more direct, requiring the crown prince Li Chengqian to step down and the Sixth Army of the East Palace to be disbanded.
This kind of provocation between the two sides against each other's bottom line is naturally fruitless. The purpose is only to show the other side's toughness...
Xiao Yu said: "The prince is the crown prince of the country and the leader of the world. It is absolutely impossible for him to take the blame and abdicate. Otherwise, wouldn't it be that the rule of law is reversed and the country collapses?"
Yu Wenshiji also nodded and said: "Guan Long raised troops this time to bring order out of chaos, to support His Majesty's will, where justice lies, and to never regret it! Therefore, there is absolutely no reason to disband and surrender." (End of this chapter)
