Changsun Wuji's words were much smarter than the previous coercion and inducement. They directly poked the lungs of the powerful family and touched their respective bottom lines.
What is the bottom line of a wealthy family?
Naturally, blood will never be extinguished, wealth and honor will be passed down from generation to generation, and we will always step on the bodies of ordinary people, knocking the bones and sucking out the marrow...
Since the military remonstrance, His Highness the Crown Prince must have hated the powerful family to the core. If this military remonstrance fails to successfully depose the East Palace, when the prince ascends the throne in the future, how can he enjoy the good fruits of the powerful family? Even if the prince sits still, there is no need for any clever means. As long as the imperial examination is carried out properly for more than ten or twenty years, it will be enough to break the backbone of the family.
Why do the children of aristocratic families monopolize officialdom? Are they really smarter than the kids from poor families?
This is not the case, just because educational resources are monopolized by aristocratic families. Children from poor families cannot even hire famous teachers. Even if they want to find a complete book, it is as difficult as heaven. Compared with the children of aristocratic families in the pile?
But once the imperial examination continues to be implemented, and the court continues to increase investment in education, the price of printed books continues to drop, and pens, inks, paper and inkstones become common items and enter people's homes, then within a few years, a large number of outstanding students from poor families will emerge Entered the official career through the imperial examination.
Because even if children from poor families lack educational resources, where is the population base? A population gap of tens of thousands of times is enough to cause quantitative changes to lead to qualitative changes...
When the educational monopoly is broken, more students from poor families enter official careers, and even gradually rise to high positions, and their voice continues to increase. Why do wealthy families continue to inherit wealth and exclusive power from generation to generation?
Coupled with the continuous popularization and improvement of commercial taxes, it is extremely difficult for aristocratic families to maintain their current superiority.
Therefore, as Changsun Wuji said, the Prince of the East Palace is the biggest enemy of the world's great families. If he cannot be deposed, he can only wait for the crown prince's backlash in the future...
Yuwen Shiji was a little depressed. He tried his best to get rid of Changsun Wuji and remove the Yuwen family from this military remonstrance. Even if he could not completely absolve himself of the guilt, at least he would be separated from Changsun Wuji.
But as he walked step by step, he found that he was getting deeper and deeper. Changsun Wuji seemed to have an invisible rope in his hand, binding the Guanlong clan to one place. Now, even the clans from all over the world are trying to get involved. Changsun Wuji is in charge, and with the help of each family's family background, they try their best to achieve great things with the help of Changsun Wuji.
So insidious...
But now that the matter has come to this, what can Yuwen Shiji say? If he dares to say "I'm not going to do this anymore" now, without even having to attack Donggong Liuliu and Youtunwei, the first thing he will suffer is the backlash from the Guanlong clan.
He could only sigh and said: "What Auxiliary Machine said makes sense. It's just that although I am well-known, I don't have enough prestige to command the heroes of the world. It would be better for Auxiliary Machine to write a handwritten letter and let the officials in the hall make multiple copies. , and then I can send my children to various families in the world, and I believe these families will be able to follow suit."
Changsun Wuji glanced at Yu Wenshiji.
This sounds somewhat reasonable. After all, Yuwen Shiji has never truly been in charge of power and authority, and those powerful families will basically not accept his call. But its real purpose is to shirk responsibility...
But of course we can't push too hard at this time, otherwise if there is internal discord in Guanlong, who in the world will be willing to accompany Guanlong to fight to the end?
Then he nodded and said: "What Duke Ying said is true. I will write a letter of divorce and order the scribes to copy it and send it to all the people in the world."
Immediately, Changsun Wuji wrote an emotional and penetrating letter with a single stroke, analyzing in detail the pros and cons of the current situation, as well as the dilemma and desperation that the world's elites would face after the military remonstrance failed...
After sending off Yu Wenshi and Liu Gang, Changsun Wuji called Yu Wenjie and Hou Mo Chen Lin closer and asked, "How should you two deal with the current situation?"
If it were in the past, the two of them would have been extremely happy and satisfied, because it meant that they had entered Changsun Wuji's eyes and would soon be reused by him, becoming outstanding figures among Guanlong's children, and even being able to take charge of power soon. .
But right now, the two of them felt nervous, Alexander.
Yu Wenjie said: "The current situation is unpredictable and there are huge crises at every turn. We have little talent and little experience. How have we ever experienced such dangers? Only Zhao Guogong, your great talent and broad strategy, can lead the Guanlong families to the final victory. Therefore, everything All decisions are made by Zhao Guogong, and we will follow his lead!"
Facing Fang Jun's tens of thousands of cavalry arriving outside Xuanwu Gate and joining forces with the Sixth Army of the East Palace, the situation on Guanlong's side was precarious. After all, although Guanlong still had an absolute advantage in terms of the number of troops, there was a serious shortage of outstanding generals and a serious shortage of soldiers. Seriously inadequate, I am afraid that two enemies may not be equal to one...
Under such circumstances, not to mention that Yu Wenjie was helpless. Even if he had any ideas, he would not dare to speak them out easily. Otherwise, who would bear the responsibility if he was defeated?
No one can afford it...
Hou Mo Chen Lin was more honest, but he was not a fool. After hearing Yu Wenjie's words, he echoed: "It is an honor for us to obey the command of Duke Zhao and work for the benefit of the descendants of Guan Long. The honor and disgrace of life and death have long been with us." Regardless of the situation, Zhao Guogong has a destiny and will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Changsun Wuji: "..."
There are very few Guanlong disciples who are as naughty as this, and these words that are righteous but clearly shirk responsibility are somewhat standard. If it were normal, Changsun Wuji would not be happy that Guanlong has a successor, but now he is not There is no such feeling.
Of course I won't be angry.
He said calmly: "Right now, the morale of the East Palace is strong. If you attack them head-on, you will only suffer heavy losses. You can give in appropriately and paralyze their hearts. But the offensive in the Taiji Palace cannot be stopped, and even more troops will be sent to attack. We must not stop it." To take a breather, it is up to you, Hou Mo and Chen Lin, to lead your troops to reinforce the Tai Chi Palace. The Sixth Army of the East Palace has been fighting hard for more than two months. They have struggled to support themselves and suffered heavy losses. The morale of the army has dropped to an extremely low level. We should continue our efforts until the Tai Chi Palace is completely captured. .”
His strategy was to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and retreat from the outside to Fang Jun's cavalry, feeding their arrogance and paralyzing their carelessness. Inside, they continued to exert tremendous pressure on the Tai Chi Palace, determined to break the last string of the Six Rates in the East Palace.
With the current strength of Guanlong, it would be very dangerous to attack Fang Jun's troops and it would be impossible to defeat them. However, if we just defend outside Chang'an City, we would be as solid as a rock. No matter how powerful Fang Jun's cavalry is, it will be difficult to break through.
As long as the outer perimeter is stabilized, and then the troops are concentrated to capture the Taiji Palace, we can seize the opportunity. When the armies of all the clans in the world gather in Chang'an, the overall situation will be determined. Even if Fang Jun protects the prince and escapes from Guanzhong, the Long clan can be completely shut down. Occupy the Taiji Palace and support King Qi to ascend to the throne.
The worst that can happen is a civil war...
As for the Eastern Expedition army that has always made him fearful, he has no time to take care of it at the moment. He can only wait until the situation in Chang'an is determined before slowly planning for it.
Otherwise, now that he has been defeated by the Eastern Palace and defeated like a mountain, what will happen even if Li Ji agrees to support all the powerful people in the world?
If the Guanlong Clan cannot be the core to control the court, any other ending will be meaningless to Changsun Wuji. He planned this military remonstrance in order to continue the dominance of the Guanlong clan and the Changsun family, not for the sake of the well-being of the clans in the world.
He is not that great. If Guan Long were defeated, he would like the whole world to be buried with him...
"Here!"
Yu Wenjie and Hou Mo and Chen Lin all accepted the order. Seeing that Changsun Wuji had no other instructions, they bowed and bowed before retreating.
When they arrived at the main hall, the two looked at each other and clasped their fists. Yu Wenjie immediately summoned the clerks to draft orders and sent them to various troops to stabilize their positions outside Chang'an City and defend with all their strength, especially in the Longshouyuan area where Hou Mo Chenlin's original defense area was. Be careful to avoid being attacked by Fang Jun's troops, which will lead to the loss of the barrier in the north of the city and completely fall into the hands of the East Palace, thus exposing the camps of Guanlong troops in the east of the city to the iron hoof of Fang Jun's troops.
Hou Mo and Chen Lin led the troops directly out of the city, returned to the army and issued orders to break out of camp. After packing up the food, supplies, heavy weapons and weapons, they waited for the defense replacement troops to arrive. Pass the Daming Palace in the northeast corner of the imperial city, enter Chang'an City through Chunming Gate, pass through the almost ruined imperial city, and arrive at the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace.
At this moment, the Taiji Palace, which used to stand majesticly, has completely fallen into melee. Several city gates such as Chengtianmen have been captured by the Guanlong army. Civil wars are raging in the gorgeous and majestic palaces. One after another, the magnificently decorated palaces that symbolize the supreme imperial power have collapsed one after another. , the armies of both sides started fighting to the death around every palace tower. Corpses were mixed with rubble, layer upon layer, first stained red with blood, and then covered with snow. It was extremely cruel.
