Chapter 3761 The Fragile Prince
"Mr. Lang, why are you so upset?"
She is as beautiful as jade, with her fragrant and soft body leaning against her, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and her breath like orchid.
Fang Jun came back to his senses, hugged her slender waist, and sighed: "Our Highness, you have taken the darkest path. Although it is urgent to follow the right, it seems that nothing can be done too much in the current crisis. But once you make a profit, this idea may become ingrained and form a habit. In the future, whenever the situation is difficult, you will only think of using such eccentric techniques to open up the situation.”
Wu Meiniang let the man's generous palm dance around her waist, and knelt down in front of the desk, pouring tea with bare hands. She was a little puzzled when she heard the words, and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Lang refers to...assassination?"
Fang Jun nodded, his expression solemn.
Wu Meiniang poured the hot tea into the tea cup. The tea soup was green and fragrant. She gently pushed it in front of Fang Jun. Her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned and she said in confusion: "Why is this wrong? Nowadays, many kings of the clan have secretly communicated with the rebels. who, The prince chose to assassinate the most guilty ones, so as to frighten the rest of the kings, they must be frightened and no longer dare to be as unscrupulous as before. This is extremely beneficial to the situation of the East Palace. "
So far in the war, although the Li Tang royal family has not been of any use on the surface, there is even Jing King Li Yuanjing, a "rebellious boy" who takes advantage of the situation and intends to take advantage of the war to break into the Xuanwu Gate and seize control of the Taiji Palace in one fell swoop. He ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor... However, in fact, the existence of the clan cannot be ignored. It was precisely because of the mediation of the clan that Guan Long wanted to win over the kings and fundamentally undermine the title and justice of the prince. This led to the rebellion between the rebels inside and outside Chang'an City. constraint.
Otherwise, with so many rebels gathered around Chang'an, there would have been no ordinary merchants left...
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and explained: "Assassination is low-cost, quick and effective. It is indeed an excellent way to eliminate dissidents and attack enemies. It is precisely because this method is simple, easy and effective, so It is extremely easy to become dependent... However, once this method is relied upon by the emperor as the norm, the consequences will be endless.”
When "assassination politics" comes to the forefront, it means the world is in turmoil, people are panicked, and the end of the world.
There are many examples in history to support this. The most typical one is the "assassination trend" set off during the Republic of China. After the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, the revolutionary party went into exile in the Japanese country. Influenced by the ninja culture of the Japanese country and the deeds and customs of Sakamoto Ryoma, etc., the Xingzhonghui , the Tongmenghui began, political assassination was established as the main means of political struggle.
Before the Revolution of 1911, almost all the leaders of the Revolutionary Party had devoted themselves to the "assassination career."
I have to admit that the effect was remarkable. The revolutionary party used this to severely damage the Qing government, set off a revolutionary wave among the people, and finally overthrew the feudal dynasty that had lasted for two thousand years.
However, the consequences were also very serious. Both those in power and those in the opposition at that time relied on this low-cost and highly effective method. When encountering conflicts, they did not think about how to develop and grow, but only wanted to strike a fatal blow and then sit back and enjoy the gains. As a result, they came to kill each other. Go ahead and kill even your own people in the end.
If Song Jiaoren does not die, perhaps Chinese history will take a completely different direction...
Wu Meiniang had never experienced such a dark and chaotic era, so she curled her red lips in disapproval, but did not say anything to refute her husband.
Fang Jun put down his teacup, saw his expression, and knew what he was thinking, and explained: "The prince can assassinate the kings because the kings are treasonous, unfaithful and unfilial. But now there are still many famous scholars and scholars in Chang'an City who are fighting for the prince. He went out and shouted for justice, calling on the rebels to stop the rebellion, bring order to the chaos, and incite public opinion to fight against the rebels... ...In the past, Changsun Wuji could still maintain his rationality and ignore these people. He was arrested and beaten in prison, but he was concerned about his reputation and public opinion and did not kill him until this time when the kings were assassinated. Without the support of the royal family for Guan Long, one can imagine what Changsun Wuji would do if he became angry. ”
Sighing, he said solemnly: "If you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land; if you lose land and save people, you will lose both people and land. This war will destroy the achievements of more than ten years of hard work since Zhenguan, and the post-war recovery will be It will be an extremely arduous process, but the chaos in Guanzhong at the end of the Sui Dynasty led to ruins and ruins. Wasn't it the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty who rebuilt it brick by brick with the people of Guanzhong? As long as people are around, any difficulty can be overcome. But if the ministers were seriously damaged due to mutual assassinations, even the treasury would be destroyed after the war. With ten thousand taels of gold, who will rebuild it?”
After all, in any era, talent is an important resource that far outweighs everything else.
Regardless of whether they are loyal or traitorous, whether they are friends or foes, and regardless of whether they belong to a noble family or a poor family, as long as they can live above the court, they are all the best talents in the world. These people may be in different camps, but governing the country and rebuilding Chang'an after the war requires the dedicated efforts of these people.
If one of them dies in an assassination, it will be an irreparable loss...
Wu Meiniang poured tea for her husband. She was as smart as she was. Although she did not understand why her husband was so kind to a woman, she generally understood his thoughts and concerns. She said softly: "Then Li Junxian came to convey the prince's order just now. Why did the husband do so?" Don’t you want to go to the palace to admonish the prince?”
Fang Jun took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "The prince is different from others. Over the years, he has been despised and even rejected by your majesty. He has suffered from sibling fights and has been slandered by the people in the world. He needs to be affirmed most. The prince does trust and rely on his husband. He also condones his husband’s wanton behavior from time to time, but this is different from his opposition to his decision.”
If you don't follow the rules and trample on the law, I can tolerate you because I trust you and rely on you. We are on the same road, which is a good way to show my magnanimity; but if you oppose my decision and disobey my orders, this will But it's a matter of principle.
Not only does he have a cowardly character, he is also a prince. He has the self-esteem to dominate the world and no one else but me. This kind of dignity cannot be trampled on, especially when it comes from the disapproval of the person he trusts the most...
"People with weak personalities have low self-esteem and are extremely sensitive in mind and thinking. You should be as considerate as possible when dealing with them, and give them lots of affirmation and encouragement. In the final analysis, His Highness is still a kind-hearted person, as long as he does not think too much or be aggressive. , but you won’t go astray.”
Li Chengqian's character has not been tempered by the world. He was cultivated as a prince since he was a child. He was surrounded by praise and admiration. When he was stabbed in the back by his brothers, he had always known "brothers, friends and brothers". "Brotherhood and brotherhood" all collapsed, causing a breakdown in personality. From then on, he gave up on himself and used extreme means to gain recognition from others.
People with such a simple and innocent nature can easily lose their character once they encounter setbacks.
Of course, as long as you understand its personality traits, it is not difficult to get along with it...
*****
When he arrived at Yinshi, Changsun Wuji drank the decoction to soothe his nerves and help him sleep before falling into a deep sleep on the bed.
Over the past few days, he has been deeply feeling the pain of physical decline. The leg injury caused by falling from a horse seemed not serious, but it has not healed for a long time. The slightest movement caused a sharp pain, and the whole person's spirit was always exhausted. Recently, due to the deterioration of the situation, the army has been losing consecutive battles. It is even more difficult to fall asleep because of the worry and anxiety. It has to rely on the decoction prescribed by the doctor to have a sound sleep...
However, I didn't sleep for too long. I heard a faint knock on the door. However, the medicine was still taking effect. I understood something in my heart, but I couldn't wake up. Until the door was pushed open, and the man who had been with me for many years... The old servant walked in quickly, approached the bed, called him a few times, and then shook him awake.
"What happened?"
Sitting up, Changsun Wuji was still dazed, but he also understood that if there was nothing urgent, the old servant would definitely not disturb his rest.
"Master, a city patrol officer came to report that the Bohai Prince's Palace and the Longxi Prince's Palace were on fire one after another. The night patrol soldiers rushed to check and found that both princes had been stabbed to death..."
"Huh?"
Changsun Wuji rubbed his temples, Li Boyi, King of Longxi, Li Fengci, King of Bohai?
Both of them are the grandsons of Emperor Gaozu Li Bing. Their father died early and they were raised in the palace of Emperor Gaozu when they were young. Their status is extraordinary. Even though there are tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in Chang'an City now, and it is inevitable that some people will take advantage of the chaos to rob, extort and extort, but who has the courage to rush to assassinate these two clan kings?
I turned around in my head, thinking that two clan kings who were secretly connected with Guan Long were assassinated at the same time... Then I suddenly woke up, opened my eyes, and said hurriedly: "Call the captain in, I want to ask for details! ”
"Here!"
The old servant helped him get off the bed, sat beside the desk, picked up a robe and put it on him, then turned around and walked out, bringing in a school captain covered in armor. (End of chapter)
