Chapter 1821 It’s not easy to deal with the aftermath
He Lanyan's face turned gloomy and he hesitated to speak. His anger finally turned into a long sigh.
The situation is so pressing, what can he do? If he dares to openly oppose Changsun Wuji's decision at this time, the Helan family will inevitably be suppressed by other Guanlong clan members, and maybe all the blame will fall on the Helan family.
Even with all the strength of the clan, we can't bear it...
It’s just that there is unavoidable resentment in my heart.
You were the one who called for the uprising in the first place, laying a big cake for everyone. You said with eloquent words that the great achievements of the future can only be achieved now. As a result, you suffered heavy losses after the uprising. To this day, you have not been able to expand the power of Guanlong in the court.
The above-mentioned interests are on the verge of despair.
Then you want to shirk your responsibilities and put us, the weak and wealthy people who depend on you, in front of us to bear the wrath of the East Palace?
…
In fact, although Changsun Wuji had already planned to allocate as much loss as possible to the weak among the Guanlong clan in order to preserve his own strength as much as possible, no matter how much losses he suffered, he still had to rely on
These small and powerful families work together to overcome the difficulties, and do not dare to go too far.
If He Lanyan has a tough attitude and is determined not to yield to Changsun Wuji, then Changsun Wuji will probably still have to appease him and make a promise.
But Helanyan's full of resentment and anger turned into a long sigh, and Changsun Wuji naturally felt at ease...
Yu Wenshi nodded and said: "Don't worry, auxiliary machine. As soon as day breaks, I will rush to Neizhong Gate to meet with the East Palace to finalize the matter as soon as possible. After all, although the East Palace reverses and has the advantage at this time, Li Ji on the other side of Tongguan is still a serious concern.
Donggong may not be able to guarantee that Li Ji will completely overthrow him. The survival of the reserve and the life and death of Donggong are at stake, and no one dares to be careless."
Li Ji's garrison at Tongguan was like a sword hanging over Chang'an. Not only was Guan Long afraid of his wife like a tiger, but the East Palace was also like a stranglehold on its throat, fearing that Li Ji would send troops into the pass regardless of what he did and a "big man would take his place"...
In the face of Guanlong's huge concessions, the East Palace is basically certain to agree to finalize the peace talks, thereby eliminating Li Ji's threat.
Unless Li Ji really dares to risk the disapproval of the world, raise troops to cause chaos, and plot to usurp the throne...
Changsun Wuji nodded, and then looked at Linghu Defen: "And this is exactly what I want to ask Brother Defen to do."
Linghu Defen was stunned and hurriedly said: "If there is a place where Brother Yu can serve, the auxiliary engine will just give you orders. Although we sometimes have different opinions and even have disputes occasionally, at this moment, Guanlong is facing a great crisis, and no one can be immune to it. We should be sincere
Unite without distinction."
Changsun Wuji had a look of relief on his face and nodded repeatedly, but he was madly complaining in his heart: Mother! If you had known the importance of sincere unity and understood that everyone has no distinction between each other, how could you have ended up in this situation recently?
Of course, we can't say this, otherwise it will only push the already perforated Guanlong Alliance to collapse. Wen Yan said: "Please go to Tongguan to meet with Li Ji, brother and son, and beg him to let go of the Tongguan Pass and allow the private armies of the powerful clans in the pass to withdraw."
Tongguan, each return to his hometown. Otherwise, if the war breaks out again, those private armies will no longer be controlled by Guanlong, and will inevitably poison Guanzhong, causing loss of life, and the empire will also be greatly weakened and damaged.
The youth of the county!"
Youth and strength represent productivity, food, and everything.
Of course, what Changsun Wuji was worried about was not whether lives would be lost or whether it would damage the foundation of the empire. Otherwise, he would not have raised an army for the selfish interests of his family, causing chaos in Guanzhong and killing tens of thousands of soldiers.
What he cares about is the attitude of shutting down the outside world.
Even if Guan Long is defeated this time, the truth is still there. The prince cannot use cruel methods to plow the court and sweep holes and kill them all. Against the sky, when Li Chengqian came to the throne, he stopped and recuperated, and when the dynasty changed, he took advantage of the situation to rise again.
.
Decades of time, two generations of dormancy, this is nothing to a family with a long inheritance. The tide rises and falls, the moon waxes and wanes, and there has never been an existence that lasts forever in the world. Since this time is for
The powerful family fought bloody battles before but failed to achieve the desired results, so they lay dormant and waited for the future.
When the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, it is very likely that he will not care about the blow that Li Chengqian suffered at the hands of the Guanlongmen clan today. It is normal for an emperor to have his courtiers.
But those who close external doors may not.
This time the private troops sent into the pass by the sects outside the pass were through the coercion and inducement of Changsun Wuji. Many people may not be willing to do this, but they are forced to obey Changsun Wuji due to the situation. It would be fine if they win in the end, everyone will benefit.
Benefits are the shortest way to eat people. Once you get the benefits, you will naturally stop trying to coerce and induce Changsun Wuji. But now that he has failed, all the efforts of the Guanwai clan have been wasted. If there is no benefit at all, Li Chengqian will still be resentful.
If all the private armies that entered the Guan Pass were eventually destroyed, then they would have truly settled their mortal feud with the Guan Long clan.
When a new emperor ascends the throne, he may not be willing to pay attention to the grudges of the previous emperor; but the inheritance of the family and the grudges of the past can be carried on from generation to generation. Whenever there is an opportunity to take revenge, he will never let it go easily...
It is conceivable that when Li Chengqian ascends the throne as emperor, although he will not kill all the Guanlong clans, he will suppress them with all his strength. By then, it will be very difficult for Guanlong to protect himself, but he will also have to face countless Guanlong clans waiting for opportunities to retaliate, adding insult to injury.
, that would be a devastating blow.
So now we must try our best to show goodwill to the powerful people outside Guan. Although it is impossible to dissipate their grievances, at least not to end their mortal enemies...
Linghu Defen looked solemn and nodded deeply.
The reason why he has been in the core of Guanlong is not because he cares about the mutiny, but just as a symbol of the Linghu family. But at this moment, he understands Changsun Wuji's concerns and deeply agrees with them, so he decides to do his best
Keep going and don't dare to slack off at all.
Guan Long is angry with each other, and when people take revenge, it doesn't matter whether you are the eldest grandson's family or the Linghu family, a stick will do the trick...
If we can beg Li Ji to let go of a way out and allow these private soldiers to return to their places of origin, we can still have a little bit of affection between them and the nobles from all over the world. After all, we have worked side by side for a grand goal and experienced life and death. From now on, we will slowly figure it out and step up our efforts.
By keeping in touch, taking care of each other, and jointly resisting the suppression of the East Palace, Guan Long may not have a chance to make a comeback.
After all, compared to land, prestige, and wealth, the private army is the foundation for a family to be passed down for centuries.
Without the private army at hand, even the order of a county can wipe out a family that has been passed down for centuries. The life and death of the family are all decided by the king and the court. If you want to have privileges that are beyond the law, it is no different.
Talking about dreams to an idiot.
And without those privileges, how can the family be passed down from generation to generation?
I'm afraid that if I don't get rich for more than three generations, I will be wiped out by everyone...
Thinking of this, Linghu Defen was horrified - although everyone in the world believed that peace talks were the only way to go now, the prince and Fang Jun repeatedly resisted the peace talks and had great intentions of fighting to the death and vowing not to compromise. Could it be that Qi's original intention was to bring everyone together?
The powerful private armies are clinging to Guanzhong, and even if they pay a huge price, they must be completely eliminated, and the biggest stumbling block on the road to the concentration of imperial power must be completely eliminated?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, a bone-chilling chill rose from his tailbone and instantly spread throughout his body, making his whole body stiff, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
But he immediately felt that something was wrong. How could the prince dare to use his own life and death as bait to use the Guanlong clan to mobilize the private armies of the world's clans to enter Guanzhong? You must know that since the beginning of the Guanlong uprising, there have been many times that the Taiji Palace was captured, and even if there were
A success, and now the prince has been deposed and imprisoned, and even turned into a corpse...
No matter how crazy the prince is, how can he dare to feed the tiger with his body?
That would be enough for His Majesty Li Er back then. After all, that man had the courage to conquer mountains and rivers and the power to create the world. As for Li Chengqian... he had neither such foresight nor such magnanimity.
So, today's situation is just a coincidence?
…
When everything was settled and everyone dispersed, Changsun Wuji called his most loyal old servant in front of him, took out his private seal from under the pillow, gave it to the old servant, and whispered in a low voice: "You leave immediately.
I went to Tongguan in disguise, without letting anyone know, let alone alerting anyone, and set off alone, holding my private seal certificate to meet Zhu Suiliang secretly..."
How could he not think of things that Linghu Defen could think of and doubt?
So he sent his loyal old servant to Tongguan to meet Zhu Suiliang. He wanted to confirm that there was no problem with the most critical link.
otherwise……
Just thinking about it made him shudder, and a strong fear ran through his body.
