Chapter 444: Guan Gong dug a pit
Yang Gongren sighed secretly. It's not that he doesn't want to trust Fan Zigai, this has nothing to do with Fan Zigai's personal ability and quality, and it has nothing to do with the personal friendship between each other, the political struggle is cruel and ruthless, either you die or I live, although he has no intention of putting Fan Zigai to death, it doesn't mean that others won't hurt the killer, and it doesn't mean that Fan Zigai doesn't hurt people, so at this moment, Fan Zigai took the initiative to take a cooperative posture, obviously he was forced to have no choice, and he would definitely retaliate when the time was ripe, in this case, how could Yang Gongren do what he wanted?
I helped you, the final credit is all yours, the blame is mine, you have been promoted to the rank of knight, I have been devastated, and even under the deliberate revenge of your fallen stone, I can't even save my life, in this case, why should I help you? Of course, I want to "pull you into the water", I want you to bear the responsibility, we can only share the blessings and woes, it is possible to share the glory and disgrace, so that in the future political liquidation, I can use your "help" to get rid of the predicament on the political government and maintain my vested interests.
Fan Zigai looked at Yang Gongren with a look of anticipation in his eyes. Yang Tong, Yang Hao, Cui Zhen, Yuan Wendu, Dugu Sheng, Wei Jin, Wei Yunqi and other princes and ministers also looked at Yang Gongren, waiting for his decision.
Now that Fan Zigai has finally met each other, he has made a wise compromise, which is conducive to Yang Gongren to control the overall situation, and if he has the ability to turn the tide, he will definitely be able to save himself from the current political predicament, and there is still a lot to be done in the future. In fact, since the Holy Lord accelerated the reform, it was the reformers who really curbed the expansion of the clan's power and tried to weaken the influence of the clan on national policy, while the conservatives have been wooing the clan to fight against political opponents. The clan cannot but support the Holy Lord in politics and cannot but keep a certain distance from the conservatives, but in the reform of great unification, the clan is also the one whose interests are damaged, so the clan has always held an attitude of not supporting but not opposing radical reforms, and the Holy Lord and the reformers definitely do not like this attitude, so the clan has become a "bag of anger", and both sides are not pleased. Yang Gongren's strong "comeback" was "hanged" and beaten by conservatives and reformers in just a few days, and this is the reason. Everyone is very contradictory, they all want to win over the clan, but they are all worried that the clan will be used by the other party, and they all want to use Yang Gongren to save the Eastern Capital, but they are all worried that Yang Gongren will be unfavorable to themselves after he grows stronger, and driven by this ambivalence, Yang Gongren is like a "roller coaster" with ups and downs, and there is always a danger of destruction.
Yang Gongren was angry and tried his best to get rid of the predicament in front of him, however, before Yang Gongren could take any action, Yang Xuangan raised troops in Liyang and came with a large army to kill the Eastern Capital, and at this moment the Eastern Capital is still a plate of scattered sand, Yang Gongren's comeback time is too short, and various means have not yet begun to be used, and the purpose of bringing together the large and small political forces in the Eastern Capital after the comeback has not been achieved, so he is also at a loss.
Now, if you want to defend the eastern capital, the big and small forces in the eastern capital must work together, and if you want to work together, you must have the same interests, and if you want to have the same interests, you must first push all the major forces in the eastern capital to the edge of the "cliff", and life and death hang by a thread. What is this situation? Yang Xuangan came at a gallop, and broke through the defense of the Eastern Capital with lightning speed, the Eastern Capital was about to fall, and everyone was in a desperate situation, but the shape was very unclear, Xijing had not yet moved, the Holy Lord had not reacted, and even the local county governments did not know anything about this storm, and it was not yet known who would kill the deer, and at this moment, it was impossible for the major forces in the Eastern Capital to surrender Yang Xuangan, and they would never bet all their lives on Yang Xuangan, and in the end, everyone could only cooperate, and they could only fight with all their might, waiting for the situation to become clear in the agony, Then make the final most correct and most beneficial choice.
Before, these military and political bigwigs "pitted" Yang Gongren and "hanged" Yang Gongren to beat, which made Yang Gongren's future bleak, and now Yang Gongren is out of the way, and the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, anyway, his future is bleak, what are you afraid of?
Since you are fearless, then do whatever you want, you pit me, I will pit you, I will let Yang Xuangan beat the eastern capital, and even send the outer Guo capital of the eastern capital to each other, and send you all to the "guillotine", strangle your future to the point of being one in two, you will die together, share the blessings and woes, I see how you still calculate, and in the end it will inevitably force you to join forces, have to put it to death and live later, and have to break the boat.
Of course, it is very dangerous to implement the strategy of "breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat" in today's scattered eastern capital, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything, and then it will not be a broken cauldron and a sinking boat, but you will dig your own grave, but Yang Gongren has nothing to do, and the military and political bigwigs in front of him who seek their own interests and have their own thoughts can't count on it at all, and the strategy of any force will be vetoed by other forces, and the conflict of interests is too intense.
"Since the truth of the news cannot be verified, it is impossible to make a correct judgment and come up with corresponding countermeasures."
Yang Gongren was indifferent, stroked his long hair with his hand, and slowly spoke.
Yang Tong, the king of Yue, was dumbfounded, and was incredulous about Yang Gongren's decision. Regardless of whether this news is true or false, from the perspective of the Eastern Capital, we should "rather believe what it has than what it does not." Regardless of 3721, we should first take precautions before they happen, first strengthen the defense in the east and north of the Beijing Division, and Chen Heavy troops should be stationed in the Dahe Defense Line, Luoshui Defense Line, and heavy troops should be stationed in Luokoucang and Heishi Pass to ensure the safety of the Eastern Capital. Only when the eastern capital is safe and Gyeonggi is stable can the safety of the North-South Grand Canal be ensured, and the north-south transportation artery is safe, can the Second Eastern Crusade be carried out smoothly, this is an obvious thing, can Yang Gongren not know? How can you not consider it? He can share the priorities of a young prince, can Yang Gongren turn a blind eye?
Wei Jin, Yuan Wendu, Cui Zhen and other ministers all sank like water and were silent.
Everyone is a master of gambling, and you can know the reason for it as soon as you roll your eyes. Yang Gongren counterattacked and dug a pit, but with his current mentality and the timing of digging a pit, everyone is really helpless, helpless, and I don't know where to start if I want to oppose and stop it, unless everyone unites, concentrates forces together, elevates Yang Gongren, drives Yang Gongren out of the decision-making level, and lets him go home to continue to keep filial piety, and does not let him take power in the name of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, but isn't that in the hands of Yang Gongren? In addition, if the Eastern Capital falls, you have to find a scapegoat who can handle it, right? Fan Zigai's weight is definitely not enough, if you want to kill your head, you have to be accompanied by someone, but Yang Gongren's weight is enough, his head is worth the lives of several people. What's more, everyone is behind this storm, and they all want to use this storm to grab personal gains, if Yang Xuangan fails to kill the Eastern Capital, fails to worsen the situation, fails to force the Holy Lord to interrupt the Eastern Crusade, and fails to once again severely attack the reformers politically and militarily, then this storm can still be called a storm? What's the point? What other self-interest can you grab? In the end, it must be a bamboo basket to draw water, moving stones to hit one's own feet, not only to find nothing, but also to be hit to the ground.
If you want to dig a pit, then dig it, and everyone cooperates, but I'm afraid that if you don't dig or can't dig it, then it's troublesome.
Fan Zigai was furious, but he could only endure it, and he could only express his anger and disappointment at the moment with a cold face. His perception of Yang Gongren was also subverted at this moment, and his fair evaluation of Yang Gongren also collapsed at this moment, and it was only at this moment that he understood why the Holy Lord had a "cold" attitude towards Yang Gongren.
After the defeat of the First Eastern Crusade, the Holy Lord urgently needed to strengthen the power of the clan to consolidate his absolute authority in the center, and Yang Gongren was the only candidate at that time, as long as the Holy Lord ordered Yang Gongren to "come back", but the Holy Lord did not make a decision for a long time, and even after some central ministers actively recommended to cater to the will of the Lord, the Holy Lord Yu Crisp temporarily "closed" the door for Yang Gongren to enter the core of the center in the name of not being able to bear to "seize love". Many people don't understand, Fan Zigai is one of them, at that time he also actively recommended Yang Gongren to enter the central core layer, in order to replace Yang Xiong and Yang Da brothers to rebuild the balance of power in the core layer, after all, they are all a family, and their elbows will not turn outward, and with Yang Gongren's character and political style, it will not hinder the Holy Lord, but the Holy Lord just doesn't nod. Now Fan Zigai understands that this Yang Gongren is really a "ill-intentioned" person, and the Holy Lord really has the wisdom to know people.
Yang Xuangan rebelled, from the standpoint of the eastern capital, of course, the enemy is outside Gyeonggi, and with Yang Gongren's prestige and strength, as long as he ascends to the heights, he will definitely gather in response, and then lead the army to the front line, and take the lead in the bloody battle, he will definitely be able to block the rebels on the front line of the river, so that the shape will be beneficial to the east, and then the reinforcements from the surrounding counties of Gyeonggi will continue to come, and then even if Yang Xuangan can hold on for a while, but as long as he does not cause trouble in Gyeonggi, the eastern capital will be safe, In the end, he could only give up his "delusions" and turn to actively suppress Yang Xuangan, protect the Eastern Capital, protect the North-South Grand Canal, and ensure the smooth progress of the Eastern Expedition, so that the shape was reversed, and the storm was easily quelled.
At the critical moment, Yang Gongren did not stand up for the country and the Holy Lord, those are all beautiful words, it turns out that he only stands up for his own interests and the interests of the royal family, and this also proves one thing, Yang Gongren's political concept is conservative, maybe he supports the reform of great unification and the construction of a centralized system, but at the same time he also opposes the Holy Lord's use of radical means to promote reform, opposes the Lord's excessive expansion of imperial power, and opposes the central government's use of the interests of the clan to achieve its own high degree of centralization.
In other words, Yang Gongren's so-called "for the sake of the country" is to push the reform of great unification to the right track of progress, for this reason, he needs to contain and weaken the absolute control of the national government of the Holy Lord and the reformers, and at the same time he also needs to crack down on and destroy the radical conservative forces, in order to alleviate the fierce contradiction between reform and conservatism, and maintain the stability of the political situation, and the national policy formulated under the stable political situation will meet the interests and needs of all strata in Middle-earth, the country and the people will be safe, and the country will be prosperous, so that the Yang royal family can sit firmly in the country, so, Yang Gongren is also the driving force behind this storm, and he also wants to use this storm to achieve his own political goals.
"In the opinion of Guan Gong, the Eastern Capital is just waiting to see what happens?" Fan Zigai held back his anger and questioned, "If the news is true, won't Dongdu delay the opportunity to counterattack?" ”
"It's just a matter of facts, as for whether to wait and see what happens, or to take precautions early, you still need to discuss and make decisions." Yang Gongren smiled and shook his hand, "A certain person gives advice to the king, and he doesn't dare to speak falsely, let alone make decisions." ”
Yang Gongren pushed it and directly rejected Fan Zigai's intention to cooperate.
