Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4101
Li Chengqian frowned, feeling a little displeased, but he didn't speak out to reprimand him.

He was born in the Li family in Longxi. The Li Tang royal family is still a powerful family in Japan today. He can best understand the essence of the family's survival and continuity. Everything is based on family interests. If the current situation is not stable and the lintel falls, it is the last thing tolerated.

Bloodline inheritance and incense inheritance are the root of Chinese culture. Even the most vicious person would not want to tarnish the lintel, so that his name would become a sinner recorded on the genealogy, and would be spurned and loathed by future generations...

The two families of Yu and Lu have long been integrated with the interests of the Eastern Palace. Unless they defect to King Jin and seek glory from the seller, once the Eastern Palace is overthrown, they will be implicated and suffer heavy losses.

It can also be understood that the two persevered in encouraging him to raise troops to kill King Jin...

But understanding doesn't mean he'll accept such an instigation.

Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are the bottom line of human beings, which cannot be trampled under any circumstances.He, Li Chengqian, has a weak personality and average talent. He is despised by the world, but he still strictly sticks to the bottom line and refuses to cross the threshold.

A man can do something and not do something.

Therefore, Yan Yuese patiently dissuaded: "The feelings of the two teachers are sympathetic, but this matter is extraordinary. Even if the body is smashed to pieces, how can they bear the infamy of murderers?"

Yu Zhining said anxiously: "Your Highness is kind, but King Jin may not consider brotherhood! Once King Jin takes the lead, it will be thunderous. I'm afraid the East Palace will be hard to resist. At that time, the general situation will be gone. What is the kindness of Your Highness?" use?"

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Benevolence is born with kindness. I just want to have a clear conscience, not for others to see. As for whether a young slave will disregard blood and family ties... he can be unkind, but he can't be unrighteous."

Yu Zhining was so angry that he was speechless for a while, facing the stubborn crown prince, he was speechless for a while, and suddenly pointed the finger at Fang Jun, who was leisurely drinking tea, and angrily said: "It's you, a treacherous sycophant, who is bewitching Your Highness, Only now did His Highness have such a pedantic idea, even if he died, he would not be able to thank the world!"

He has taught Li Chengqian for many years, so he naturally knows that His Royal Highness is a bit pedantic, and he will not let go of his brothers and friends, but his character is weak and cowardly, it is hard to believe that he is still so firm in the face of life and death, honor and disgrace not move.

It must be that Fang Jun was bewitching a lot, which made the prince tenacious, and he would not listen to good words from loyal ministers and good teachers...

Fang Jun was speechless, put down his teacup and spread his hands, "I haven't said a word here, how could you blame me? It's just inexplicable."

Lu Deming snorted coldly and said: "Although you are the pillar of the Eastern Palace, the Fang family's status is extraordinary. Even if the Eastern Palace collapses in the future and the crown prince is in trouble, you can calmly withdraw. If you donate wealth that is incomparably rich to the King of Jin, you may not be unable to restore your official status." Your position and power are in your hands...whether your highness lives or dies, you can attack, retreat and defend, and your heart can be punished!"

Li Chengqian's expression changed immediately, and he said in a deep voice, "Master Lu, be careful with your words!"

Who doesn't know that Fang Jun is his confidant?Without Fang Jun's support, Li Chengqian would not only have been abolished as a reserve position, but he would have died at the hands of the Guan Longmen Clan last time.Fang Jun is loyal to him, but is it as insidious and nasty as Lu Deming said?

These remarks not only slandered Fang Jun's loyalty, but also caused a rift in the entire East Palace, which would be irreversible.

Fang Jun even jumped up against the case and became furious, pointing at Lu Deming's nose and yelling: "The old thief can't find death? You are just an official who only seeks personal gain for the family. Have you ever had the interests of the empire in your eyes, and have you ever had the honor and disgrace of Your Highness?" ? Now that you are greedy for your own self-interest, you are constantly instigating and bewitching Your Highness to kill people, disregard righteousness, and dare to spout blood. Do you really think that I dare not kill you two here, and then lead troops to destroy your entire family?"

He has been patient with these two people for a long time, and has been giving in, not wanting to completely intensify the conflict.

The East Palace seems to be powerful, and even His Majesty Li Er is afraid of it, and it is hard to sleep at night. From this, he becomes more determined and easy to store his mind, but in fact, the interior is unstable and there are many hidden dangers. The first is the confrontation between civil and military forces.As he and Li Jing joined the Eastern Palace, the weakest part of the military became a strong point instead, thus defeating the mutiny launched by the Guanlongmen Clan, but it also caused everyone in the civil official group to feel insecure and full of jealousy and hatred.

It seems ridiculous that civil servants are so jealous when Donggong is facing life and death?But this is the face of the literati, an insider who fights inside and an outsider who fights outside, and it has never changed throughout the ages.

In order to stabilize the overall situation, Fang Jun endured repeated provocations from the civil servants group, but today these two people are not insistent on encouraging Li Chengqian to take a risky gamble when the situation is unclear. What can't be tolerated!

Lu Deming was startled by Fang Jun's violent appearance, subconsciously shrunk his neck, took half a step back, and immediately reacted, suddenly became angry from embarrassment, ignored Li Chengqian's scolding, and said sharply: "Presumptuous! This place is the Tai Chi Palace, The center of the empire, the palace of the emperor, the old man is here to see that you are so bold that you really dare to kill the old man!"

"Hey!"

Fang Jun smiled angrily. He has been in power these years, not only in charge of the Ministry of War, but also has an invincible division like You Tunwei under his command. It makes the outside world seem to have forgotten his nickname of "stick"...

I really don't dare to kill people, but what if I beat you up?
As soon as he rolled up his sleeves, he waited to step forward and punch him. Li Chengqian who was beside him quickly grabbed his clothes and said in a loud voice: "Erlang, don't be upset, don't do this, don't do this!"

Yu Zhining was also terribly frightened, how could he not know Fang Jun's vicious nature if others didn't know it?He dared to challenge Changsun Wuji face to face, and the latter even had to back down by three points. How could a mere Lu Deming be in his eyes?

He stepped forward and hugged Lu Deming's waist and dragged him back...

Fortunately, Fang Jun took Li Chengqian's face into consideration, so he didn't get angry on the spot. After being grabbed, he just pointed at Lu Deming and threatened: "You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. As long as I hear such rumors outside, I will kill you." Go to your house and settle accounts with you."

Lu Deming also knew that he almost stabbed a hornet's nest, and he was glad in his heart, but where is his face?

He could only salute with his head bowed, and said in shame: "The old minister is incompetent and disturbed His Highness. He deserves death. It's just that he is old and weak, so he is now going back to rest."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Chengqian's response, he turned and covered his face and strode away.

Knowing today's matter, Yu Zhining let it go, sighed secretly, and also apologized to Li Chengqian, followed in Lu Deming's footsteps and withdrew...

In the house, Li Chengqian ordered tea to be served again, with a bit of complaint in his tone: "You are not young anymore, why don't you change your bastard style of punching and kicking in the past? These two are too selfish, but in the end they are also lonely teachers. For many years, and the interests of the family are all entangled with the East Palace, and you are not allowed to tell the plan alone... It is inevitable that they will be anxious and lose their dignity."

Although he was a bit annoyed by Yu and Lu's constant instigation, the two parties were deeply entangled and had the same interests, so they trusted them very much.

Fang Jun had a headache and said: "If I didn't scare him just now, does your Highness believe that such rumors will spread throughout Chang'an tomorrow morning, causing panic in the East Palace?"

His Majesty Li Er suddenly fainted, good or bad is unpredictable, it is really an excellent opportunity for the East Palace to come back.As long as His Majesty Li Er didn't leave an edict passed on to the King of Jin, then Li Chengqian would still be a legitimate prince, and the general trend was mine.

Don't underestimate the power of a "righteous name". The so-called "if the name is not right, the words will not be right, and if the word is not right, nothing will be done." Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, no matter whether you do good or bad things, which one does not force yourself to have a rightful name? Righteousness?

However, if Yu and Lu suddenly launched a surprise attack on the King of Jin according to the ideas of Yu and Lu, regardless of victory or defeat, a crime of "killing footsteps" would never be escaped. Instead, he became a cruel and brutal executioner for the throne...

This battle is inevitable, but it must not be fought under the condition of losing our reputation and righteousness.

How stupid? !
Of course, he also understands that Yu and Lu may not be so stupid. They still want to make this "contribution to persuasion". The initiative to cut off King Jin was initiated by them, and they naturally took the initiative, while the military only Can be reduced to a tool responsible for implementing...

They really don't understand that Li Chengqian's reputation as a "killer foot" will make the world disgusted?
not necessarily.

In the final analysis, it is still for the self-interest of each family.

This is the abhorrent thing about aristocratic families. All their motives are for their own interests, and the core of all behaviors is selfishness...

Li Chengqian was also aware of this, so he shook his head and sighed, and said helplessly: "The internal division of the Eastern Palace may be inevitable."

Everyone can see the chronic diseases of the family clan, but no one can do anything about it, because the power of the clan clan is too great, whether it is governing the country or fighting for reserves, no matter what happens, it cannot do without the clan clan's help.

If the imperial examination can develop for three to fifty years, it may be able to completely suppress the aristocratic family.

But the problem is that today's poor students enter the official career through the way of obtaining scholars through the imperial examination. Who knows that they will not evolve into another aristocratic family after they have been in power for a few years?

You must know that all the aristocratic families nowadays come from this way...

Fang Jun reassured: "Even if it splits, it is not necessarily a bad thing. Those who have different intentions have left since then, and the rest after the big waves are all loyal people. They are united and loyal, and perhaps they can inspire more powerful forces. "

……

Yu and Lu came out from the prince's residence, let the pattering rain drench them all, and hurried back to the residence.

The two were so preoccupied that they didn't bother to take a bath and change clothes, they sat on the mat in front of the window, silent.

After a long time, Lu Deming said in a shy voice: "Your Highness's favorite Fang Jun has reached the point of blindness, and he is willing to be bewitched by him without knowing it. What should we do?"

Yu Zhining picked up the handkerchief at the side and slowly wiped the rainwater off his face until he cleaned his beard and hair, put down the handkerchief, and then said slowly: "We are loyal to Your Highness, even if we are broken into pieces, we will be happy. Death is nothing to be afraid of, but how can it implicate the family in disaster, causing the lintel to fall and the descendants to be scattered?"

Speaking of this, he sighed softly, and his voice was low: "We are cultivated by the family, how can we act recklessly? Everyone seems to be prosperous and rich, but in fact they can't help themselves."

Aristocratic families endow the children of the clan with resources far superior to ordinary people, but at the same time they also need the children to feed back. If anyone only knows how to enjoy but does not know how to give, he will inevitably be cast aside by the world.

The family has always been the foundation upon which the Chinese bloodline is passed on, and no one is willing to bear the consequences of being spurned by the family...
