Chapter 3799: People rule society
The current situation is that Changsun Wuji is dragging the Guanlong clan on the road to death. It may be possible to overthrow the East Palace, depose the prince, and then support a prince to ascend to the throne...The King of Qi has fallen into the hands of the East Palace. Several young princes were either in the East Palace or not qualified enough, so they had to use their brains on the kings of Wei and Jin in the end.
But the greater possibility is to drag Guan Long all the way into the abyss, and both the jade and the stone will be destroyed.
On the other hand, Yu Wenshiji, on behalf of many Guanlong clans, tried to prevent the collapse of the situation through peace talks and paid a certain price in exchange for the end of this military disaster. It's just that the situation is gradually changing, the East Palace is getting stronger and stronger, and the price to be paid is increasing little by little...
The power of the Changsun family and the prestige of Changsun Wuji have allowed them to completely dominate the Guanlong clan, and they deserve the title of "Guanlong leader". Even though the other clans are dissatisfied with the current situation and unwilling to follow Changsun Wuji to death, they still We can only save the country through curves, but we cannot confront them head-on.
Otherwise, once Guanlong is divided and cannot stay together, the revenge of the imperial court and the East Palace will be like a thunderbolt, blowing all the Guanlong clans to pieces.
After all, the Guanlong clan has monopolized court politics in recent years, and even His Majesty Li Er had to adopt easing measures to fight against it. For example, the Shandong aristocratic family and the Jiangnan noble family have been repeatedly suppressed. The accumulation of resentment does not happen overnight. Once it breaks out, Guanlong will There will be a catastrophe.
This is also the reason why various sects are willing to follow Changsun Wuji in raising troops. But now it seems that this road is full of thorns and dangers. If you are not careful, it will end in pieces...
Yu Wenshi was silent for a long time, and Changsun Wuji suddenly asked: "You said... if Li Ji is acting in accordance with His Majesty's imperial edict, then what exactly does this imperial edict intend to do with our Guanlong clan?"
Yu Wenshi barely opened his mouth, but it finally turned into a sigh.
Once upon a time, the clans of Guanlong were united and united, single-handedly creating the pinnacle of political power in the North. They formed an alliance, fought side by side, revitalized and destroyed a country, and controlled the supreme imperial power in their hands. All the people in the world were like livestock, and they could live and kill as they pleased.
It also created the majestic Tang Dynasty and the glorious prosperous age.
However, conflicts of interest ultimately coexist with human ambitions. As an emperor, His Majesty Li Er rules the world, so he naturally wants to control the world and follow the rules, making the supreme power in the world reach its peak; while the Guanlong clan tries its best to seize the throne. The power of the Tang Dynasty nourishes one's body with the power of the Tang Dynasty, achieving the goal of inheriting the bloodline and keeping the family intact.
The conflict between the two sides is fundamental and irreconcilable. The friendship of fighting side by side in the past has long been gone. They regard each other as enemies, and they wish they could destroy each other and then quickly.
If there were any remaining imperial edicts, what else could be done to Guan Long?
Naturally, he ordered the succeeding monarch to continue the strategy of suppressing Guanlong in order to achieve the purpose of concentrating imperial power...
Changsun Wuji stopped talking and raised his head to look at the gurgling rain outside the window. His heart was filled with worry - was there such a legacy?
*****
Fang Jun returned to the Youtunwei camp, entered the central military tent, took off his raincoat, shook off the rainwater, and hung it on the clothes rack behind the door. He came to the window and sat down next to the desk, looking at the mountains of official documents. The junior leaned on the back of the chair. Go up, raise your hand and rub the center of your brow.
Feeling extremely bad.
When what he did was to cooperate with the other party to achieve the ultimate goal, he ended up falling into the danger planned by the other party, thus laying a huge hidden danger on the road to future promotion. The anger of encountering "betrayal" made him Distraught.
For the first time, I felt disgusted with the imperial power.
Since time travel, both His Majesty Li Er and Prince Li Cheng Qian have treated him very kindly. Although he has made mistakes many times, he has never been severely punished. This makes him feel the superiority of time travel, but he has forgotten the essence of imperial power - -Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
Such an era is shrouded in imperial power. The life and death of billions of people are decided by the emperor. There is no such thing as the fairness of the law, the dignity of human rights, the sanctity of private property... there is no such thing. It is a society "ruled by men". , any future of life and death is in the hands of people with greater power than him. Success or failure of life and death depends on one heart. The law is clearly placed there, and the king says, "Princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as the common people." How can this actually be the case?
If the king wants his minister to die, he must die.
He thought he was prosperous in this era, but when the holy family was no longer there, he was just a dog under the imperial power, cooked, cooked and killed, and he could not resist...
……
Gao Kan and others filed in.
"Commander, we immediately conducted a thorough investigation in the army after the incident. A school captain committed suicide in the camp. His soldiers confessed that it was the school captain who led his team to the camp gate when Chai Lingwu entered the camp. In addition, when Chai Lingwu leaves the camp, he will be shot. As for his identity and background, the military commander is conducting a detailed investigation..."
Before Cheng Wuting finished speaking, Fang Jun waved his hand and said: "We must investigate, but remember not to implicate too many people. This person was lurking in the army. He killed Chai Lingwu and then committed suicide. This is absolutely true." There is probably nothing that can be found about a dead soldier. If one is found, one should screen carefully to avoid falling into the trap of the murderer, implicating innocent people, and being used as a knife. "
Gao Kan looked around and saw that both Cheng Wuting and Wang Fangyi were Fang Jun's confidants. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Maybe the prince is also suspected in this matter..."
How could there be no barrier in the prince's heart as the commander-in-chief repeatedly sent troops to attack the Guanlong rebels without authorization, causing the peace talks to stall several times? Perhaps he realized that the commander-in-chief was unruly and unruly and would be difficult to control when he became prime minister in the future, so he set up this situation to block the commander-in-chief's path to becoming the prime minister in the future.
After all, the prince is still inseparable from the commander-in-chief, and his motives are very aligned with the prince’s interests...
Fang Jun slapped the table and shouted: "Shut up! Are you able to talk about these things indiscriminately and casually? As a minister, you should be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and you must never have such treasonous and unethical thoughts!"
"Here!"
Gao Kancheng was terrified.
Fang Jun sighed secretly, how could the prince have the courage to do such a thing?
……
At ten o'clock in the evening, the light rain stopped for a while.
The air was fresh and humid. Fang Jun walked all the way from the Zhongjun tent back to his residence. He had dinner with his wife and concubines, and after taking a bath, he lay down in Princess Gaoyang's room, picked up a book at random, and started reading.
Princess Gao Yang was sitting in front of the dressing table, wearing a thin gauze skirt covering her delicate and beautiful body. She raised a pair of bright wrists that could bully frost and snow and tied up her hair. She sighed with emotion: "Who would have thought that Chai Lingwu died so violently?" What about death? I feel sorry for Baling, he has to be widowed at such a young age, and the Chai family is not a fuel-efficient family. The days to come will be difficult.”
Fang Jun asked casually: "Have you not heard about Chai Lingwu?"
Princess Gaoyang tied up her hair with a silk ribbon, looked around to see if it was symmetrical, and asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Fang Jun didn't take it seriously, so he told the rumors about him "forcing Baling to rape and killing Chai Lingwu"...
"Is there still such a thing?"
Princess Gao Yang was surprised and said: "You have to stick to the side to spread rumors. You and Baling have never been separated. How come such outrageous rumors spread?"
Fang Jun sighed and said, "How could there be no contact? Last night Princess Baling left the city and entered the Youtun Guard Camp. She asked me to help the Chai family to persuade the prince that the title of Duke Qiao could be retained in the Chai family, but I didn't. Promise..."
Princess Gao Yang turned around, the neckline of her gauze skirt was slightly open, revealing her snowy shoulders and graceful collarbones. Her starry eyes narrowed slightly: "You ate your mouth but don't admit it?"
She just thought about it briefly and understood the original intention of Chai Lingwu and his wife. After all, Princess Baling went to Fang Jun's camp in the middle of the night. She could tell what she was hiding behind... She didn't mind that her husband ate Princess Baling, but She was a little dissatisfied even though she had eaten everything and refused to admit it.
So tasteless.
Fang Jun quickly defended: "Absolutely nothing! Princess Baling is very capable of teasing, but your husband is very determined and as solid as a rock. How can anyone be able to pounce on you with just a hook of your fingers?" ? Not a single finger touched! ”
I added from the bottom of my heart: You and she touched me...
Princess Gao Yang still had great trust in Fang Jun. Since he said he hadn't touched it, it must have meant that he hadn't touched it. But... her mind turned, her eyes widened suddenly, and she gritted her teeth and cursed: "No wonder you were so crazy last night. It turned out that he was stimulated by Baling, and he was holding me in his arms, but he was thinking about Baling? You are really good at this! You bastard!"
Her Royal Highness the Princess felt insulted, became furious and showed off her power.
Fang Jun was busy with his smiling face, and came forward to talk sweetly and coax him.
He can't do it without a smiling face, he feels guilty... (End of chapter)
