Chapter 3810 Confess your feelings


Chapter 3810 Confess your feelings

Li Chengqian didn't have much regret when he heard that Fang Jun said that the "wonderful stranger" traveled around the world and his whereabouts were uncertain. He had a mentality of "thirsty for talents". Nowadays, everyone in the imperial court is an outstanding person, and he can't win over him. Come on, how can you still have the energy to conquer those idle clouds and wild cranes in the countryside?

However, his mood was a little agitated, and he praised: "Traveling around the magnificent mountains and rivers, appreciating the beautiful scenery of the world, we can only sit in the capital and have unlimited imagination! Sometimes I think about it, if I can unload this heavy burden, my sleeves can be relaxed with the breeze and the wild cranes." Live up to this life.”

He doesn't have any great ambitions, but he also has self-awareness. He can work conscientiously as a guardian of the country, guarding the beautiful rivers and mountains his father and ancestors built, and he can bring stability and prosperity to the people of the world, which is enough.

Although being an emperor is extremely powerful and has the power to dominate the world, he still has to walk on thin ice all day long and is under too much pressure...

Fang Jun was startled and said quickly: "Everyone in the world has his own duties. He should abide by his duties and fulfill his duties. Only then can the country be unified and the world be harmonious. Your Highness's duty is to lead the civil and military officials to create a grand and prosperous age. To revitalize all industries and benefit all people, if you always have the wish to travel around the world, the country will inevitably be shaken and the country will be in chaos, which is not the way for a man to be a king. "

If this prince is too playful, he will abandon the court and spend all day traveling around the mountains and rivers. He will even patrol the south of the Yangtze River and let horses go outside the Great Wall like some "great emperors", spending countless national funds and people's money and money, and forcefully make a big promise. If the empire's finances are exhausted, won't the world be in chaos?

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Erlang, don't worry. Although Gu has no great ambitions, he knows that he has a heavy responsibility. How can he act willfully, ignore the country and the country, and imitate the wanton behavior of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, building dragon boats to travel in the south of the Yangtze River, causing the country to collapse?" Decay, Guozuo is cut off? It’s just a temporary feeling, don’t worry about it.”

Fang Jun nodded.

This metaphor is not appropriate. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty traveled to the south of the Yangtze River mostly to get rid of the constraints imposed on him by the Guanlong clan. He intended to seek support and help from the Jiangnan nobles. However, he did not expect that the Jiangnan nobles were rooted in the south of the Yangtze River and had no intention of going north to compete with Guanlong. At first, he was not an emperor at all, but after being persuaded by Emperor Sui Yang's repeated lobbying, he became interested. As a result, Guanlong directly arranged for the Yuan family, Pei family, Linghu family and other powerful family members to recommend Yu Wenhuaji, and killed Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty in Jiangdu palace, and then went to Guanlong gate in Luoyang. The feudal lord supported Yang Tong, the king of Yue, as the emperor and tried to continue to rule the Sui Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the Li family in Longxi suddenly emerged and defeated Wang Shichong outside Hulao Pass, establishing a victory...

Most of the incompetence of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was made up by history books, and more often it was due to his own strategic mistakes, which led to the ultimate irreversible defeat.

After finishing the meal, the monarch and his ministers sat across from each other and drank tea.

Li Chengqian pondered for a long time before getting to the point: "Erlang thinks, does the British Association form an alliance with Guanlong?"

At present, there are various speculations about Li Ji's unreasonable actions, both in the East Palace and in Guanlong. However, the most widely accepted one is that Li Ji wants to follow the example of Lu Buwei, Huo Zimeng and others, and sit back and watch the East Palace collapse and the prince fall. Then he led hundreds of thousands of troops directly into Guanzhong, established a new prince, forced Guan Long to give up his throne, and achieved the goal of monopolizing power.

However, Li Ji cherished his feathers and did not want to bear the charge of "treason", so he formed an alliance with Guan Long and pushed Guan Long to the front to overthrow the East Palace. This was the most ideal strategy.

Therefore, at least so far, the possibility of an alliance between Li Ji and Guan Long is very high. Guan Long's defeat has been determined. In order to survive, succumbing to Li Ji can even obtain more favorable conditions than negotiating peace with the East Palace...

Fang Jun shook his head firmly: "Absolutely impossible."

Li Chengqian's eyes flashed and he asked: "How can I see it?"

Fang Jun put down his tea cup and pondered for a moment. He could have analyzed the current situation and looked for some plausible reasons to stall the prince, but in the end he just shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

The prince's back was straightened, his whole body was a little stiff, and he stared at Fang Jun with burning eyes.

As a prince, as a minister, what is "hard to say"?

Obviously, it's not "hard to say", but "cannot be said"...

He had tested Fang Jun before, but Fang Jun was vague and prevaricated, which made him vaguely guess. Today's "It's hard to say" still didn't say anything, but it actually gave him an affirmation and told him that his suspicions all along were correct.

Li Chengqian was silent for a long time, looking blankly at the teacup on the coffee table in front of him, but without focus. After a long while, he exhaled heavily and sighed: "When I first heard the bad news, my heart was broken. I wish I could take my own life to replace it! Who would have expected, The king's heart is unpredictable..."

"Your Highness!"

Fang Jun interrupted him with a serious expression: "Be careful! I have never said anything, and Your Highness has never speculated on anything. Let everything take its course, which will be beneficial and harmless, and may even lead to unexpected gains. Otherwise, it will be harmful and even harmful. will provoke Suspicion only adds to the uncertainty. As the crown prince, His Majesty is also responsible for supervising the country. He only needs to fulfill his duties, live and die with a clear conscience, and vow not to insult the monarch's authority or compromise with rebellion, that's all." >


When these words were spoken, all the doubts and depressions in Li Chengqian's heart were cleared away.

Li Chengqian naturally knew why Fang Jun did not dare to say anything, so he did not continue to ask. After all, it is extremely rare to be able to say something...

The monarch and his ministers were silent for a long time, and then Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Erlang's thoughts will never be revealed in front of others."

He spoke categorically, but Fang Jun did not dare to take it lightly: "The best situation is for His Highness to forget those speculations and pretend that the power does not exist. Only in this way can he be calm and calm, and not arouse the suspicion of others."

Li Chengqian looked gloomy, he hesitated to speak, and finally let out a long sigh, shaking his head in silence, very decadent.

The recognition that I most wanted to get came to nothing. Even if I worked a hundred times a thousand times for it, and even put my life and death at risk, I still couldn't get a word of praise...

After a long time, he said in a solemn voice: "If I am alone, I will act according to Erlang's wishes."

Fang Jun nodded happily, but suddenly felt something was wrong, and said hesitantly: "His Highness favors and trusts you so much. I deeply appreciate it and swear to follow you to the death! But Your Highness does not need to be too kind to me. I am frightened and under great pressure..." ”

Li Chengqian was stunned.

People in the world pursue fame, wealth, and power. How could a minister ever despise the king for trusting him and obeying his advice?

Li Chengqian admired Fang Jun's calmness and sincerity, and sighed: "I don't dare compare myself to my father's talent, but I can accept advice with an open mind. Erlang is loyal and loyal, and treats me as a national scholar. How dare you not repay it as a soldier of the country? ”

Fang Juncheng said in panic: "Your Highness is so complimentary that I cannot bear it."

He didn't want to be a powerful minister. Even if one person was inferior to ten thousand people in his lifetime, he would only be in the middle of the king's likes and dislikes. The fame and power gained through a lifetime of struggle could not be worth a smile or a curse from the king.

Can change history, leave his mark on this tributary of history, make the people of the world live a better life as much as possible, and make the Tang Dynasty, one of the greatest dynasties in Chinese history, stronger and longer .

I come, I see, there is no need to conquer.

History will not turn because of the appearance of a certain person, or even deviate from the established river course. Even if he is extremely talented and brilliant, he is just another Wang Mang. What was the result? There is an "error correction mechanism" running in the dark, and a meteorite rain will bring everything back to its original shape...

*****

Back outside Xuanwu Gate, the sky was already dark, the rain had subsided, the air was cold, there was no wind and no moon.

The lights in Youtunwei's camp are brightly lit, and there are many shadows of people. Scouts are constantly coming and going, and all the troops are on guard. From time to time, the sound of people shouting and horses neighing can be heard, and the atmosphere is still tense.

As soon as they entered the Chinese military tent and sat down, Gao Kan came to report: "The rebels have gathered urgently outside Chunming Gate and Kaiyuan Gate. Their purpose is not yet known. The general has ordered the entire army to be on strict alert to guard against rebel raids at any time. .”

Fang Jun sat behind the desk, with a serious look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "It's not about being strict and prepared, but being ready for war at any time! Even if the rebels don't come for a sneak attack, we will choose the right time to make a surprise attack. This mutiny , it can only end if the rebels are completely defeated.”

Gao Kan was shocked and didn't know what to do for a while.

After a long while, he said: "It's not because the general is questioning the commander-in-chief. In fact, all parties now know that peace talks are the best way to resolve disputes and eliminate mutinies. Regardless of the outcome of this fight, the one who will gain the most is the garrison." The British Duke of Tongguan...Has the Marshal told His Highness the Crown Prince?" (End of Chapter)
