Chapter 3784 The next generation is formidable
Li Chengqian was very confused and confused about Fang Jun's repeated behavior of ignoring the peace talks and even sending troops without authorization to disrupt and sabotage the peace talks.
But he understood Fang Jun's hint this time: he must stand firm at all times and maintain the emperor's authority and etiquette. He must not damage the king's authority because of the immediate advantages and disadvantages, otherwise there will be future troubles...
As for the future troubles, Fang Jun wouldn't say, and Li Chengqian couldn't ask, but he could always make a guess.
When his father was in Chang'an, although he gradually recognized him as the prince, Yi Chu's heart was never broken. Now that Guan Long is raising his troops and revolting, the character of the kings of Wei and Jin has been praised and praised highly by both the government and the public. How could he not weigh and compare them in his heart?
The conclusion is: If the father is still there, Yi Chu’s heart will probably become even more intense...
Whether it is the King of Wei or the King of Jin, he is indeed a brilliant man among men, and Li Chengqian laments that he is not the best.
In comparison, if Li Chengqian and Guan Long are in conflict, whether the reason is to stabilize the reserve or to make the empire stop losses as much as possible, on the surface it seems to be more than one step behind those two? Sometimes, people's views are irrational and extremely narrow-minded - if some people do the same thing, everyone agrees, but if others do it, it is wrong...
Don't talk about following the right in everything, let alone choosing the lesser of two evils. Once some things are done, at a certain moment and in the eyes of certain people, it will be an unforgivable mistake.
Li Chengqian thought that he could not match his father's majestic strategy, but he had always restrained himself by his father's requirements. At this time, he would inevitably think in his heart: What would his father want him to do if he were still here? If he really got along with Guan Long, would it be the reason for his father to change the throne?
Fang Jun never said it thoroughly and stopped at the most pointed point. It can be seen that his "deep difficulties" are not evasive. If you think about it further... you simply can't imagine it.
……
Although some people hated Fang Jun's unscrupulous attack on the rebels because their own interests had been violated, for the vast majority of the officials in the East Palace and those who were loyal to Zhengshuo, the fire last night was The burning makes my heart feel happy and inexplicably excited.
Ever since Guan Long suddenly raised his troops and invaded the Taiji Palace, the East Palace has been in a state of being passively attacked, and was in danger of overturning at every turn, which made people fearful. Who would have thought that under such an unfavorable situation, the East Palace had to endure for half a year, and then wait until today, when the hope is clear and the hope is restored?
For a time, Fang Jun's name was even praised and regarded as a god, and his prestige increased greatly.
Li Ji was stationed in Tongguan, and the entire Guanzhong was within the palm of his hand. Naturally, he would not ignore the fire that lit up half of the area outside the Jinguang Gate and under the Yushi Altar last night. Before dawn, the individual scouts continued to send back the news. Li Ji Sitting in the Guanxia Yamen Office, he already knew the situation in Chang'an well.
"It's amazing. Who would have thought that Fang Er would actually burn more than 100,000 stones and grain in the heart of the Guanlong army under such a severe situation? Not to mention how difficult it was to accomplish this, it is unbelievable even just thinking about it."
Cheng Yaojin sipped his tea and sighed.
Zhang Liang was silent while holding the tea cup, with complicated thoughts. He was "forced" to succumb to Fang Jun. It was impossible to say that he didn't feel a little bit dissatisfied in his heart. But over the years, he had also understood that Fang Jun was really amazing and talented. If he could always follow a backer and fall... Not bad either.
In the officialdom, people stand in this row today and in that row tomorrow. The vast majority of officials are divided by the wind. Even behemoths like Guanlongmen have to choose their sides according to the situation, but the way they choose their queues is more complicated. In order to be fierce, after discovering that the prince could not support their interests, he decisively raised his troops and launched an uprising, intending to depose the East Palace and establish another prince to achieve the purpose of ensuring his own interests.
Li Ji stood by the window, looking in the direction of Chang'an City, where dark clouds were rolling in the sky, and a heavy rain was about to come. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "The so-called 'times make heroes' is nothing better than this. It rained again last night, but it was just a patter of rain. , failed to extinguish the fire, if I choose to set it tonight, I am afraid I will be defeated.”
The Eastern Expedition, launched with the whole country's efforts, highlighted the control of the military by the family members. This made even a wise and powerful emperor like His Majesty Li Er feel troublesome and threatening. It caused the interests of the family members to override the interests of the country. Completely manifest.
But at the same time, we also witnessed the rise of a new generation of "military gods".
The country's best generals, the most elite troops, and the entire country's resources are piled on the battlefield in Liaodong. However, Fang Jun relies on the strength of a guard to turn the tide. He can not only defend the territory and show his prestige outside the territory, but also hold up the sky to protect the mainstay. The force suppressed and defeated the Guanlong army.
Perhaps Li Jingzhi's power was still there, or maybe Li Ji was in his prime, but Fang Jun, who had suddenly emerged as a new force, had the undisputed qualifications to be on par with or even equal to them.
Don’t forget, hundreds of thousands of low-level Tang troops besieged Pingrang City, which was still as solid as a rock, for more than a month, but it was the navy under Fang Jun that captured it in one battle and destroyed Goguryeo...
Yuchi Gong said depressedly: "At the beginning, we excluded Fang Er from the Eastern Expedition army. Who would have expected that today, he would achieve such a prominent feat? Who could have expected it?"
Everyone knew that Fang Jun's army was powerful and invincible, so almost all the clans cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding and forced Fang Jun out of the Eastern Expedition army. Even His Majesty Li Er felt the influence of each clan. The tough attitude had to be compromised.
In the past, Fang Jun was left in Chang'an so that he could no longer win military exploits, but he did not expect that Tuyuhun, Tujue, and Dashi successively raised troops to invade the invaders. The troops in Guanzhong were weak, but they gave Fang Jun a God-given opportunity. He defeated the Tuyuhun and the Turks successively, and then rushed to the Western Regions to defeat the 200,000-strong army in a blink of an eye. He escaped from the Western Regions in embarrassment, and then rushed thousands of miles to help, fighting all the way back. Chang'an defeated Guanlong's conspiracy.
Looking back, when various clans joined forces to squeeze out Fang Junzhi, it was more like an assist, single-handedly pushing Fang Jun to the pinnacle of military generals...
Ashina Simo and Xue Wanche sat together. They had their eyelids drooped and drank tea slowly. They turned a deaf ear to the discussions around them, let alone participated in them.
It takes a lot of self-awareness, and these two did a great job.
Cheng Yaojin said "Hey" and said: "What if there was no mutiny like this? Fang Er's achievements and strength today are no longer those of Wu Xia Amen. He has many powerful generals and countless capable people under his command. The garrison guards and the navy are the most powerful among the armies of the Tang Dynasty, especially the navy. They are invincible on the vast sea. It can be said that as long as they reach the seaside, that is Fang Er's territory. "
< br>
Everyone agreed.
Do the math, how many countries have perished at the hands of Fang Jun so far?
When the Gaochang Kingdom was destroyed, Hou Junji was the commander-in-chief, but Fang Jun led the Shenji Battalion to accompany the army on the expedition, and his presence was definitely not low. After that, he was stationed in Gaochang for a time; the inner region of Silla was controlled by him; although the Japanese Kingdom still existed, However, the bloodline of the emperor, which was said to have been passed down for thousands of years, was cut off, and the king of the country was The navy supports the establishment, and the entire country is under the control of the navy. If there are sufficient benefits, the country can be overthrown with just a flip of a hand. Annan is basically the same as the Japanese country. The strength of the navy has already overwhelmed the country. , making it grovel and become a vassal...
In terms of pure merit, Fang Jun is already superior to Li Jing and Li Ji. What he lacks is just qualifications.
But qualifications are mostly something you get through hard work. As long as you live a little bit, even a person who is sitting on a plain diet can become a senior member of the imperial court. At Fang Jun's current age, as long as he does not die brutally, he will definitely become the "number one in the military" in the foreseeable future and gain power that Li Jing and Li Ji did not really have.
What a formidable and enviable young person...
Everyone expressed their emotions and finally returned to the topic.
Yuchi Gong asked: "Now that the situation in Chang'an has become clear, the Guanlong rebels will either broker peace talks or die together. What is the commander-in-chief's plan?"
Everyone looked at Li Ji together.
Li Ji has always used strong tactics to suppress all forces in the army, but has always been unwilling to reveal his position and inclination, making this group of proud soldiers and heroes of the day anxious and full of doubts. To this day, the East Palace is almost invincible, so we can’t continue to hide it, right?
When Li Ji was silent, Cheng Yaojin had already shaken his head and said: "Ignore everything else for the moment, the first thing is to send His Majesty back to Chang'an, place him in the Taiji Palace, and then announce it to the world and hold a state funeral."
< br>
Everyone was silent for a while, feeling sad, and their resentment towards Li Ji gradually deepened.
Your Majesty has so much trust in you, but now you place His Majesty's dragon body in Tongguan, which is not as close as Chang'an... (End of Chapter)
