Liu Ji was extremely aware of the development of the situation.
Taking advantage of the power of hundreds of thousands of troops, Li Ji reached an agreement with Guan Long to change the throne. After the East Palace was overthrown, he supported one of the kings of Wei or Jin, allowing Li Ji to achieve the goal of monopolizing power. Guan Long could also retain his power. , in any case, it is much better than peace talks with Donggong... By then, Donggong will die without a place to bury him!
As long as Li Ji "holds the emperor to command the princes" and the Guanlong clan still stands tall in the court, he, a confidant in the East Palace, will surely suffer unparalleled suppression. Any civil leader, prime minister or minister of the dynasty, will have all his life ambitions in vain...
How could Liu Jie not be frightened? How could he not panic?
On the contrary, Prince Li Chengqian, who had always been ridiculed for being "weak and irresponsible", sat firmly as a mountain, glanced at the panicked Liu Ji, and said in a calm voice: "Liu Shizhong, there is no need to panic, the sky will not fall, it doesn't matter."
"Well……"
Liu Jiecang's panic expression suddenly stopped as if frozen, and he looked at the prince in disbelief.
So calm?
It was strange enough that Zhang Liang came to the city to express his condolences at this time, and he also met privately with Changsun Wuji. It was obvious that there had been further reconciliation and negotiation between the two parties regarding the annihilation of the Duan clan in Jiu Nanyang. If an alliance was reached as a result, the good situation would be plunged into dire straits. Li Ji would be in dire straits. Once After the East Palace was defeated, the civil servants and military generals who were attached to the East Palace could still "choose the best tree to roost in", but as the prince, they had no chance of survival.
Why is the prince so calm and determined?
Something's wrong...
Li Chengqian no longer thinks much of Liu Ji. He still has some abilities, but he is too utilitarian and his character is too impetuous. He is useful, but he is difficult to use.
He said to Li Junxian: "Pay close attention to every move of Guan Long in all aspects. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately! Go and inform Duke Wei. Duke Yue will come to discuss matters."
"Here."
Li Junxian took the order and left.
Li Chengqian waved to Liu Ji: "Come and sit."
Then he asked the waiter to make a pot of hot tea and pour tea for the two of them.
Liu Jie finally recovered from his shock. Looking at the calm and composed prince, he felt a little ashamed and embarrassed. He sat opposite the prince and bowed his head in silence.
Li Chengqian took a sip of tea and said warmly: "Liu Shizhong doesn't need to worry too much about military affairs. We have the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Yue to deal with them. These two are famous generals in the world. They look out for all directions and have great military exploits. They will definitely be able to defeat the rebels and turn danger into safety." .Liu Shizhong’s task is still to focus on peace talks. He should pay more attention and try his best to reach peace talks with Guanlong. If the mutiny is eliminated in this way, the British side can only die down."
Liu Jie nodded and obeyed, feeling depressed and puzzled at the same time.
Whether it is Donggong, Guanlong, or even Li Ji, these three forces all believe that peace talks are the key to eliminating the mutiny. As long as Donggong and Guanlong reach peace talks, although all parties will suffer losses, it will be the most important thing at present. Good strategy.
However, there seems to be an invisible obstacle placed between all parties, preventing Donggong and Guanlong from reaching peace talks and eliminating the mutiny. As a result, the mutiny has never been able to be contained, and they can only continue to fight fiercely...
Who is blocking the progress of peace talks?
Fang Jun?
Prince?
It seems to be, but it seems to be more than that...
When Liu Jie was wandering and lost his mind, Li Jing and Fang Jun accepted the call one after another.
After saluting, they sat down respectively. Li Chengqian recounted what Li Junxian had told him. At the end, he said to the two of them: "At the moment, Liu Shizhong should focus on discussing peace talks, but we must also be careful to prevent the rebels from fighting to the death, so all armies must be strict." Be on guard and don't give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of you."
The two men nodded together, and Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, rest assured, although the situation is favorable, the army does not dare to slack off in the slightest. All the troops are prepared to be prepared and guarded to the death. There has never been a moment of neglect."
Fang Jun also said: "Outside the Xuanwu Gate, it is as solid as gold."
For some reason, Liu Jie clearly had many conflicts with the military and was extremely dissatisfied with it. However, when he heard the calm and determined words of Li Jing and Fang Jun, his chaotic and hesitant mood calmed down in an instant, as if his backbone had been established.
, especially when Fang Jun said the words "impregnable as gold", Liu Jie believed that no army in the world could break Fang Jun's position.
This made him a little ashamed. He was a future civil servant leader, and he could not let others' ambitions destroy his own prestige...
Then he coughed dryly and said with a straight face: "The situation is urgent, don't take it lightly."
After saying this, my heart suddenly felt much better...
Li Jing and Fang Jun both turned to look at him, then turned back, ignoring him and turning a blind eye.
Liu Jie: "..."
After all, I am also a minister, but you actually look down on me like this? Mother!
Li Chengqian obviously had almost the same feeling as Liu Ji. When he saw the two commanders speaking firmly in unison, his worries disappeared and he said happily: "That's it, I'll help you two."
He also said to Liu Jie: "The current situation is difficult. We should work together to face the crisis and fight to the death to maintain the integrity of the empire! We should also give up civil and military disputes, unite as one, prevent the rebels from succeeding, and engrave our names in the history of Qing Dynasty.
Above all, your reputation will last forever!”
The words stirred people's hearts and made people excited, but Liu Jie felt very aggrieved: I did not instigate the civil and military disputes. Even if you want to beat them, you should hit fifty big ones each, not just the minor officials.
One...
But at this time, you must not show any grievance or dissatisfaction. Liu Jie looked solemn and nodded: "I swear to follow His Highness the Crown Prince to the death and safeguard the integrity of the empire. Even if my body is broken to pieces, I will never give up!"
Li Chengqian smiled happily: "In times of crisis and overthrow, you all will not let me down. When I succeed, I will share the wealth and honor with you, and I will never let you down!"
This was His Highness the Crown Prince's expression of his heart, and it was a promise given to his important ministers. Li Jing, Fang Jun, and Liu Jie quickly stood up, bowed their hands to the ground, and said in unison: "I am willing to die for Your Highness!"
Whenever words such as "never bear responsibility" are spoken from the mouth of the king, they are probably just a blank check, of little use. Anyone who believes in it will be like sand. But with Li Chengqian's weak, gentle, and foresightful character, he can say it in public
From these words, it can be seen that at least at this moment, I have made up my mind to write a good story about the relationship between the king and his ministers, which will be passed down to future generations to praise and remembered in history.
It's also rare.
…
Li Chengqian left Fang Jun behind and asked the chamberlain to heat up the already cold dinner, added two side dishes, and invited Fang Jun to join him in the meal.
Fang Jun did not refuse. After thanking him, he sat down under Li Chengqian, and he and his ministers chatted while eating.
"The current situation is difficult and the conditions are difficult. Erlang has not been able to reward him for his great achievements, and he feels guilty in his heart. When the overall situation is decided one day, we will prepare a banquet and have a good drink."
Li Chengqian chewed his food carefully and talked while eating, feeling quite emotional. He felt guilty because he could not hold a feast to celebrate Fang Jun's achievements, and he was depressed because he, as the prince, was trapped in the inner world.
Most of the palace was occupied by rebels, and supplies in the palace were extremely scarce. Li Chengqian, who had been well-fed and well-dressed since childhood, felt it was too difficult...
Fang Jun took the rice from the bowl into his mouth and ate it. He put down the bowl and chopsticks and took a sip of tea. Then he looked at Li Chengqian and said seriously: "Why don't you have enough desire for food? Being frugal is also the way to cherish blessings and prolong life."
Confucius said, "Food and color are the nature of food." Food and beauty are what people want, and they are endless. They must be controlled in order to achieve long-term blessings and health and longevity."
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks, sat upright, and nodded: "What Erlang said is true. It is appropriate to be vigilant this time. You should never forget it."
He boasts that he is not as talented and powerful as Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and he does not have the magnanimity and magnanimity of his father to accommodate mountains and seas. He is just a middle-aged man, but he has stolen the position of prince. In the future, he will be more likely to be respected and rule the world.
.If you cannot restrain your desires and understand the principle of moderation, you will most likely become a tyrannical and ignorant lord like Jie and Zhou, who will not only destroy the empire, but also plunge all the people in the world into dire straits, be reviled by eternity, and be infamy for eternity.
Li Chengqian still has the awareness to make up for his shortcomings through hard work...
Fang Jun laughed and said: "These words were once said by a talented man, but His Highness may not have thought that the person who could say such words of 'frugality every time' was actually an old man who loved delicious food...
However, this gentleman is extremely intelligent and understands the principle of going too far and not being equal, so he can exercise restraint every time he enjoys delicious food. He is indeed a very special person."
No matter at any time, a person who can restrain his inner desires will definitely achieve extraordinary things, far beyond ordinary people.
Li Chengqian was very interested: "Where is this person now? If the rebels can be defeated and the overall situation of the tripod is determined, Erlang must introduce him to Gu in the future."
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "This man is extremely talented, but he is free and uninhibited. He refuses to stick to one place. He vows to experience the magnificent mountains and rivers, so he has traveled all over the world... I don't know where he is at this moment."
It will take hundreds of years for that foodie to be born. Where can I find it for you now?
