Fortunately, I am still moved, but where is the purpose of comforting me?
He was clearly here to warn me!
If I dare to attack Fang Jun at all costs and consequences, then he, Li Zhi, is willing to give up the fight for the reserve position!
Changsun Wuji couldn't believe it...
He said in disbelief: "Why do you think so, Your Highness? Since ancient times, all those in high positions have not fought their way out of the thorns, done extraordinary things, and done things that no one can do. Only then can they go against the will and change their destiny!" It's so stupid to be as benevolent as a woman like Your Highness!"
Li Zhi's words exceeded his understanding, which shocked him, and his words were inevitably disrespectful.
Li Zhi didn't care about these small disrespects. No matter how respectful he was verbally, it couldn't cover up Changsun Wuji's inner contempt for him, which he regarded as "a rare thing to live in". He knew this well.
So he still kept a gentle smile, patted the armrest of the chair, and sighed softly and said: "Father has always taught our children to love each other, to share honor and disgrace, and never to rise up for the sake of selfish desires. This world belongs to my father. I can fight for it, but I will never go against my father’s wishes. In the end, if my father gives it to me, then I will do my best. If my father doesn’t give it to me, then I will I will definitely not rob it.”
Changsun Wuji was silent, staring at Li Zhi with burning eyes.
After a long while, he turned his face away, raised his eyes to look out the window, and slowly shook his head.
Obviously, Li Zhi has realized that he may do something unscrupulously and without any bottom line. On the one hand, he can avenge the hatred in his heart and save the lost face. On the other hand, he can also take the opportunity to increase Guan Long's influence and win the battle. Chu added a heavy bargaining chip.
Now, Li Zhi is warning him - some things can be done, but some things cannot be done. Although I am powerless to stop you, I can give up the fight for reserves at the critical moment...
Once the King of Jin gives up the fight for the throne, the blow to Guan Long will be fatal.
The reason why he supports King Jin so wholeheartedly is because he has not been optimistic about the prince for a long time. Now he is in the same situation with the prince's family and wants to eliminate the prince's family with the help of King Jin's ascendance.
There is no doubt that once the prince is deposed and King Jin ascends to the throne, no matter what King Jin's intentions are, he will eradicate it and completely wipe out the prince's line. From now on, it will be impossible for anyone to stand in the court.
But now, Li Zhi simply told him clearly that he had a bottom line.
This made Changsun Wuji feel both shocked and frustrated. The reason why he chose King Jin in the first place was not only because His Majesty Li Er doted on this youngest legitimate son, but also because Li Zhi was young and had no experience in the world, so he would be easier to control in the future.
However, now it seems that it is true that I am young, and it is true that I am not deeply involved in the world, but I am by no means ignorant, and I clearly know what I should and should not do.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that even if you succeed in assisting Li Zhi in fighting for the throne in the future, or even successfully push Li Zhi to the throne, the prospects may not be as optimistic as originally expected.
This kid...is difficult to control.
Changsun Wuji suddenly felt that one was older than the other. His Majesty Li Er had given birth to so many sons, and none of them seemed to be efficient. Both of them were crazy and full of ideas...
However, at this time, we naturally could not go against Li Zhi's wishes. Changsun Wuji had no choice but to say: "What I did was just to help His Highness become the crown prince smoothly. Even if he suffered losses, he would not hesitate to do so. But since Your Highness has this Persistence, how can I disobey orders? Forget it, I will swallow the humiliation I suffered today and will never do anything out of line."
Of course, Li Zhi understood that his simple warning words could make a hero like Changsun Wuji obey his advice and not dare to make mistakes. However, whether he said it or not, the nature was completely different.
Besides, the Guanlong nobles still hope to make huge bets on themselves and obtain extraordinary returns, so they should always be somewhat wary of their own words.
Besides...
"If this king's prediction is correct, I am afraid that even if my uncle wants to do something, he may not have such a chance."
"Huh? What do you mean by this, Your Highness?"
Changsun Wuji frowned in confusion.
Li Zhi chuckled lightly and said: "My father is wise and powerful. How could my father not think of the things that I can think of?"
Changsun Wuji's expression suddenly changed.
He was indeed so angry that Fang Jun lost his head today. After returning home, he was thinking about how to deal with Fang Jun and regain the face he had lost today, but he ignored His Majesty's thoughts.
Now is the critical moment of the Eastern Expedition, and the stability of Chang'an is more important than anything else. How can His Majesty Li Er tolerate his unscrupulous plot against Fang Jun?
Once Guan Long and the Prince's family face each other head-on, there will be no room for recovery, and the entire Guanzhong will be in chaos.
There are of course many ways to avoid this situation, but the simplest way is to simply take yourself with you and accompany you on the expedition to Liaodong...
If he couldn't stay in Chang'an, wouldn't it be possible that all his previous efforts would be in vain?
Changsun Wuji's eyebrows were twitching wildly, and his usually deep-tempered city seemed unable to suppress the panic in his heart.
He even wondered whether Fang Jun, who was so arrogant and unruly in the imperial study and beat him in front of His Majesty Li Er, had a bad temper and couldn't suppress it, or whether he had a plan and calculated that His Majesty Li Er might be involved in the conflict. Will you take yourself to Liaodong after the incident?
If Fang Jun is really so cunning, what is the purpose of forcing him to leave Chang'an?
Changsun Wuji suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
*****
East Palace.
In the flower hall of Zuochunfang.
Crown Princess Su was sitting on her knees in front of the coffee table, her back straight and her expression calm. Her bare hands were making and dividing tea gently and skillfully, and then she gently pushed two cups of hot tea in front of the Crown Prince and Fang Jun.
Fang Jun and Li Chengqian sat across from each other, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Princess."
Su Shi smiled tactfully and said softly: "We are all members of our own family, why should we be so polite?"
After saying that, he put a few pieces of charcoal into the stove, put the kettle on the stove aside, added a ladle of water, and waited for the water to boil.
In the meantime, a pair of wonderful eyes couldn't help but glance at Fang Jun several times...
She came from a scholarly family, so she had some knowledge and was familiar with poetry and books, but she had never heard that there were people like Fang Jun in the world.
You could say he is domineering and arrogant. He has great achievements and outstanding abilities. Looking at the civil and military ministers in the court, how many can compare with him? If we say that he is a famous official of his generation, he is unruly and willful. No matter how lawless he is, he is a powerful official and a bully. Who dares to beat up important officials of the imperial court in front of the emperor?
It's incredible...
Li Chengqian took a sip of tea, sighed, looked sad, and complained: "Erlang was reckless this time. After all, Duke Zhao is also a hero of his father and the brother of his mother, even though his behavior is increasingly in conflict with his father's ideals." , how can you be so humiliating? Let’s not talk about propriety for the moment. It’s not like you don’t know the temperament of Duke Zhao. It’s not enough to say that you will retaliate. Even your father is deeply afraid of your ruthlessness. He has wanted to murder you before. After this humiliation, I will definitely hate you even more. If you go crazy and don’t even care about your last dignity, even my father will be helpless!"
As the leader of the Guanlong aristocracy, the eldest grandson's family has a long history and started with military exploits. The family has countless dead soldiers. Once he brazenly launches an assassination in Chang'an City regardless of the consequences, the threat posed will make anyone feel numb.
Afterwards, he shied away all responsibilities, and even His Majesty Li Er could not do anything about it.
Unless there is conclusive evidence, who can prove that "the number one hero of Zhenguan" is the mastermind behind just a few dead men?
The reason why rules become rules is to protect the weak and restrain the strong.
Once a strong person ignores the rules, nothing is impossible...
Fang Jun put down his tea cup and sighed softly: "His Royal Highness was not present at the time. I don't know the specific situation. The minister is not reckless and domineering, but if it were not so, I am afraid that His Majesty would not doubt the authenticity of the map. A map is related It is very important. If there is any fraud involved, then the army will approach Pyongyang and fall into the enemy's trap according to the map, and we will suffer heavy losses."
Li Chengqian shook his head. Although he was reprimanding, his tone was extremely gentle: "Even so, you can't ignore your own safety, right? The person Zhao Guogong is... that's all. What's the use of complaining now that the matter has come to this? Fortunately, with the Gu Zhizhi, my father must have thought of this, and maybe he will simply take Zhao Guogong to Liaodong to prevent him from causing trouble in Chang'an and murdering you..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly froze, looked at Fang Jun in astonishment, and asked, "Could it be that Erlang had already calculated that his father would take him to Liaodong?"
