Tiantang Splendid

4319 - Harmony between Monarch and Subject
Li Chengqian is very white. Although he is not as fat as Li Tai, his face is also fleshy, so when he smiles, he looks very kind and warm. He stood up and helped Li Ji up, held his hands and patted him, and said happily: "Mr. Ying is the pillar of the country. There are a lot of things to rely on, so why be so presumptuous? If it weren’t for the support of Yinggong, I would have had to suffer a lot if I wanted to sit in this position. Create a great cause in the prosperous age, and write a good story about the monarch and his ministers together."

The smile is sunny and the attitude is sincere, but the words that come out of your mouth are sharp - if you can cooperate with me honestly, we will naturally make progress together. I will be my lord Minghuang, and you will be the pillar of your country. If we demolish my platform, the righteousness of our monarchs and ministers may come to an end here...

Li Ji didn't think for too long, and reconfirmed his attitude: "Your Majesty is the righteousness and justice of the country, and it is the duty of a minister to serve His Majesty. Although it is trivial to stir up troubles in an attempt to gain a foothold in the high position, it will be wrong and wrong in the end." Shun, the government and the people are angrily crusading, and the day of destruction is not far away."

"Haha, let me borrow your auspicious words! Come, let's drink while I ask Mr. Ying for his outlook on the current situation. If there is anything wrong with me, I hope you can give me your advice."

The two monarchs and ministers sat down again, and Li Chengqian once again held the pot and poured wine with his own hands.

After drinking a few cups and exchanging some views on the current situation, Li Ji said frankly: "I have to say that Your Majesty's strategy of 'leading the snake out of the hole' is very clever, very bold, and extremely courageous. It is extremely beneficial for the implementation of the New Deal in the future. But likewise, such an approach is also very dangerous. After all, people are separated from each other, and it is hard to see who is red and who is black. Once there is a backlash, there are many dangers.”

Li Chengqian was silent for a while, then sighed: "Isn't every change since ancient times full of blood and corpses lying everywhere? It is better to let those rebellious officials and thieves who are not loyal to the empire and the people shed blood now than to let the loyalty of the Tang Dynasty in the turmoil in the future." Is it good for a scholar to bleed? When I was young, Emperor Taizong reprimanded me for being too benevolent to a woman, but now it seems that Yinggong, a famous commander in the world who kills Yingye, is also so indecisive."

Li Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry, it was because he had given the illusion to the outside world by keeping a low profile all these years, that's why the emperor thought he was an indecisive person?

He kills without blinking an eye...

But he didn't persuade him anymore, since the emperor had made up his mind and he had decided to be loyal to the emperor, so naturally everything should be obeyed by the emperor.

At worst, he will turn the tide when the situation becomes rotten...

Li Ji has full confidence in his current power and status. He can sit on the Diaoyutai and watch Yunjuan Yunshu.

The emperor is determined to forge ahead, Fang Jun has lofty aspirations, and young people are always so enthusiastic and morale high, which is a good thing.It is also a good thing for them to encounter some setbacks and beatings on the way forward so that they can recognize the difficulties of the world and learn lessons in their future lives.

That being the case, why is there such an annoying face of "the whole world is drunk but I am alone"?

He is not Wei Zheng...

*****
Six troops led by Ten Thousand East Palaces marched across the Huangqu River and arrived at Fengqiyuan. Liu Yanjing wore his helmet and armor, and rode a fine horse with arrogance and arrogance.Although he knew that these 1 people were not the real elites of the East Palace Six Rates, they were still tough fighters trained by Li Jing after all. Their combat strength was not bad, and they were backed by Chang'an, waiting for work with ease, showing their advantages.

Coupled with Li Jing's exhortations before leaving, he understood that he was not the main force that Li Jing placed high hopes on. His mission on this trip was not to defeat the rebels and capture King Jin alive, because not only did Li Jing not believe it, but Liu Yanjing himself also Believe it or not, all he needs to do is to guard the south gate of Chang'an steadily and keep the rebels out and give the imperial court the opportunity to recruit and transfer troops from various places in Guanzhong.

Liu Yanjing never thought that he was an impetuous and ambitious person. The credit for annihilating the rebels and capturing the King of Jin was indeed against the sky. He could be pushed to the position of one of the forces in the army in one fell swoop, but the risk was also great. The rebels rushed directly to Chang'an City, ten heads were not enough for Li Jing to chop off...

So he was very steady. Before the army crossed the Yellow Canal, he had already sent out all the scouts to inquire about the true and false movements of the rebel army. He heard that Yu Chigong led the right guards to defeat Liang Jianfang and arrived at Shenheyuan. The army of the King of Jin was slowly crossing the Shaoling Plain, and the three armies of Xue, Liu, and Zheng were chasing after him, so he felt relieved.

With strong enemies ahead and pursuers behind, no matter how fierce Yu Chigong is, how can he go forward bravely regardless of the difficulties in front of him and the dangers behind him?

It must be to gain a firm foothold in Shenheyuan. On the one hand, it will deter Chang'an, and on the other hand, it will contact the garrisons in Guanzhong to see if there are any ambitious people who are unwilling to accept the status quo and are willing to defect to King Jin.

Therefore, after Liu Yanjing led his army across the Yellow Canal and arrived at Fengqiyuan, he ordered the army to stop advancing, relying on the mounds, hills, mountains and other places on the southern edge of Fengqiyuan to build simple fortifications on the spot to prevent the enemy's cavalry from assaulting. Trees were also cut down to build camps, so that the soldiers could commandeer and occupy the best position when facing the enemy's charge.

The entire southern line of Fengqiyuan was managed by him in a day, and the enemy army seemed to be repairing on the spot in Shenheyuan as he thought, and did not move.

The light rain that had been falling for two consecutive days finally stopped. At night, the moon was white and the sky was full of silver frost. Liu Yanjing led a group of generals to inspect the fortifications in the front line. They saw that the defenses were complete and the morale of the soldiers was high. It was inevitable to stand on the mound and look out. When he was in Heyuan, he couldn't help feeling a little complacent in his heart.

The one facing him was Yu Chigong!
One of the few remaining famous generals among Zhenguan Xunchen, even though he has more troops, more meritorious service, and stronger combat power, when facing himself, he is still "the dog bites the hedgehog and has no way to bite", so he can only watch. Do you look anxious?
He said to the generals around him: "Now the general situation is with Your Majesty and the court, so we don't have to take the risk to attack the Youhouwei. One of the most powerful people, once we set up a formation and wait for us, we are afraid that we will be in danger. But now we are building a camp and defending on the spot. The one who is anxious is Yu Chigong. If he wants to raid Chang'an, he must uproot our position ...We are not as good as him in field battles, but how can we still lose to him in position defense? As long as we defend this Fengqiyuan and the front of Chang'an South, we will be great heroes!"

The left and right generals are also very excited, who would not be happy to earn a wave of merit without fighting desperately?
For a while, the flattery was endless.

Liu Yanjing was not overjoyed by the flattery of the generals, and warned everyone with firm eyes: "Our strategy is to stick to it. No matter how the situation changes, no matter how the enemy tempts us, we must always remember our purpose: wait for work with ease, and wait for work with ease. Gong, the ground under our feet is our future and our life, as long as we hold on to this place, we will have everything we expect from meritorious titles, money, fame and fortune!"

"Here!"

Everyone agreed with a loud bang, and their morale was high.

They are all veterans who have fought for a lifetime. In the past, only charging into the battle and taking their lives to fight for meritorious service may not necessarily win. Now, all you need to do is honestly shrink back to the camp and stick to your position to obtain great merit. Who can be unhappy? Woolen cloth?
"The general is weak in his youth, but his strategy of war is probably only slightly inferior to Duke Wei's, and the rest are not as good as the general!"

"That Fang Jun is relying on his father's power and the late emperor's favor, otherwise how can he compare to the general?"

"If you ask me, the general's talent is enough to become the son-in-law of the royal family. I heard that Princess Changle has been divorced for many years, and she is even more beautiful. The general should find someone to be a matchmaker to marry His Highness Changle. He can also be a talented man and a beautiful woman." Good story!"

"..."

Liu Yanjing broke out in a cold sweat, wishing he could rush forward and chop the bastard who proposed him to marry Princess Changle into two pieces!

Are you flattering?
You are obviously afraid that I will die too slowly!
How powerful and powerful Fang Jun is, and how simple he is in the emperor's heart, can he be compared with Liu Yanjing?
Not to mention that everyone in Chang'an's dignitaries now knows that Princess Changle is Fang Jun's confinement, so no one can make up their minds. Back then, Qiu Shenji ate the leopard's guts and wanted to get involved with Princess Changle, but how miserable was his death?
If Fang Jun misunderstood that he was trying to get involved with Princess Changle and ascend to the high branch of glory and wealth, he would have to kill him with a knife...

Hastily said: "Don't talk nonsense! His Highness Changle is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, with a noble status, gold branches and jade leaves. In fact, we ordinary people are worthy of it? We are the ministers of His Majesty. We only need to do our best to help His Majesty share his worries and be loyal to His Majesty wholeheartedly." , such unreasonable thoughts are absolutely not allowed!"

The others also came to their senses, shut up quickly, secretly afraid.

Fang Er's club has never been easy to get along with. At the beginning, relying on Emperor Taizong's favor to be domineering and misbehaving, even Zhenguan Xunchen and the big boss had to give up three points. Now that the new emperor is on the throne, Fang Er is even more of a minister of the humerus. His Majesty's favor and trust in him is more than that of Emperor Taizong, almost to the point of obeying his words...

Such people, don't say that middle and low-level officers like them, even the military bosses, are treated with extra courtesy, who would dare to provoke them?

Seeing this situation, Liu Yanjing also heaved a sigh of relief. He still understood the truth that disasters come from the mouth.

"Pass down the order and rest on the spot. If there is no order from the general, even if the enemy comes up to you, you are not allowed to come out of the camp to fight back. Otherwise, no matter who it is, you will be killed! I don't care how many enemies are wiped out or captured, but only care about my feet. This camp can be firmly guarded, if anyone ruins the good things of this general, don't blame this general for turning his face and refusing to recognize anyone!"
