Cui Zhen's attitude is very clear, and he resolutely does not let Yang Tong, the king of Yue, intervene in the crisis of Tongji Canal, which is obviously very abnormal. If something goes wrong, it is a demon, Fan Zigai can't help but think, is there a secret hidden behind this crisis that he has not guessed?

The Tongji Canal crisis has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with King Yue, so who does it have to do with it?

Suddenly, Fan Zigai suddenly had an epiphany. The biggest difference between Cui Zhen and himself in politics is that Cui Zhen is deeply trapped in the battle for the imperial system and cannot extricate himself, so no matter when, where, and what kind of shape Cui Zhen has, the problem to be considered is the imperial system, that is, how to help the king of Yue win the imperial system, if the king of Yue loses in the battle for the imperial system, Cui Zhen will also have to lose everything.

The two Tongji Canal crises are actually the continuation of the battle for imperial unity, the last time was the King of Qi "fled", this time the King of Qi "killed" a horse gun, if nothing else, the King of Qi Yang Lan is about to roar in the name of killing the white thief, and the Tongji Canal crisis will evolve into the crisis of the Eastern Capital.

How severe is the crisis in the Eastern Capital? It's terrible to think about, now Xijing control zhì is in the hands of Yang Yun, the acting king, and soon the first line of Tongji Canal will fall into the hands of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and the supporters of these two princes are the local aristocratic group of Guanlong with Wei as the leader, that is to say, when Yang Tong, the king of Yue, falls into the left and right attacks of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and the crisis of the eastern capital will explode, and it is the local aristocratic group of Guanlong who promotes and controls the crisis of the eastern capital. The local aristocratic group of Guanlong is one of the largest conservative forces in the court today, and they took advantage of the Holy Lord's second eastern expedition to Goguryeo to move the crisis in the eastern capital, and its purpose is self-evident.

Yue Wang Yang Tong is powerless to resist, his support is relatively weak, although he has the Shandong aristocratic group with the Cui family as the wealthy family, as well as the eight surnamed Xun Guiyu with the maternal Liu family as the noble group, but the Han and the Han family have an inherent contradiction, coupled with the grudge between the Shandong people and the Guanlong people, it is a joke to expect them to work together in the battle for imperial unity, in this way, the local aristocratic group of Guanlong will definitely have the upper hand, the crisis in the eastern capital will get out of control, and with the rapid deterioration of the situation, another conservative force in Middle-earth, That is to say, the Heluo aristocratic group led by Yang Xuangan will inevitably contribute to it, in order to completely detonate the crisis in the Eastern Capital.

What was the situation in the Eastern Capital crisis after the explosion? Fathers and sons cannibalize each other, brothers fight against each other, and the battle for imperial domination has become white-hot; The Eastern Crusade failed, the Holy Lord and the reformers suffered another heavy setback, and the political rout was irretrievable; The conservative forces that oppose the reform and the radical forces that support it will fight a decisive battle in a raging storm, and the reformers will be defeated in the decisive battle.

Fan Zigai had an epiphany, he, a local tyrant, had to admit that he was a tyrant on the political system, and for senior magnates like Cui Zhen, who were born in a wealthy family and had been serving in the central government, his vision was still low, and his understanding of the gate valve was still shallow, so he could not get a glimpse of the whole picture at the critical moment, and he could not see the huge storm hidden behind the Tongji Canal crisis.

What is the Tongji Canal crisis? It's just a drizzle, the real storm is the crisis of the Eastern Capital, and the King of Yue has to deal with the crisis of the Eastern Capital, and what he has to consider is how to survive in the crisis of the Eastern Capital.

Fan Zigai is embarrassed, is this soldier out or not? If you don't come out, the Tongji Canal will be interrupted, won't you become the driving force of the crisis in the Eastern Capital? On the contrary, if the troops are dispatched, the army of the Eastern Capital will go to the battlefield of Tongjiqu and will not be able to come back for a long time, won't the Eastern Capital become an empty city? The emptiness of the Jingshi is not self-defeating? Shouldn't the crisis in the Eastern Capital turn into a military coup?

Fan Zigai was helpless, returned to Shangshutai and thought about it all night, thinking about it, he had to go to Cui Zhen to ask for a plan.

It's a very simple thing, it is the king of Yue who stays in the eastern capital, and he, who stays in the eastern capital, is a courtier who assists the king of Yue, and the interests of the king of Yue are tightly "tied" together, and the two are both prosperous and lossy, so at the critical moment, he should only be the king of Yue, not above the king of Yue, and do everything on behalf of him, although he is dedicated to the public and selfless, but while being loyal to the holy lord, ignoring the king of Yue is actually equivalent to violating the mandate of the holy lord, and failing to understand the political intentions of the holy lord well. Failed to achieve the political goals of the Holy Lord.

Goodbye Cui Zhen, Fan Zigai's attitude has changed subtly. King Yue is still a king, but Cui Zhen, who has won the trust of King Yue, is important, and he can no longer be simply regarded as the chief of King Yue's mansion, but should be regarded as King Yue's "military advisor" and the spokesperson of King Yue's decision-making, and Fan Zigai has become the executor of King Yue's decision-making.

Cui Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Zigai finally found his position, no longer regard the king of Yue as a puppet, no longer above the king of Yue, and no longer let the king of Yue be his spokesperson for decision-making, although the king of Yue is indeed a puppet of the political government, but the key is that the king of Yue is a puppet placed by the holy lord in the eastern capital, representing the authority of the holy lord, and is the puppet of the holy lord, not the puppet of his Fan Zigai, so Fan Zigai's ignoring the king of Yue is equivalent to ignoring the authority of the holy lord, which is a big mistake. Of course, in specific government affairs, Fan Zigai can indeed replace King Yue, but in the crisis of the Eastern Capital, can Fan Zigai replace King Yue? Can there be the revered status of the king of Yue and the power represented by this identity? Can it win the support of the large and small political forces in the Eastern Capital by virtue of its own appeal? So the local tyrant is a local tyrant after all, and the distance between the tyrant and the wealthy is out of reach after all, fortunately, Fan Zigai is still sober, and he has not lost his direction in the fog of power, and he knows that no matter how "violent" he is, it is given to him by the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord gave it to him, and he has nothing, so he lost his way and returned the decision-making power that did not belong to him to the King of Yue, and the King of Yue made decisions, and he charged into battle for the King of Yue.

Fan Zigai asked King Yu Yue, the king, is this soldier out or not?

Yang Tong looked at Cui Zhen. Cui Zhen was very resolute and did not send troops, but the reason he gave this time was different, he asked Fan Zigai, how many ministers have you sent troops to suppress thieves?

Fan Zigai hesitated and did not reply.

"Anyone who sends troops to suppress thieves may be the driving force behind this crisis in the Eastern Capital, or even the creator of the crisis." Cui Zhen was amazing.

Fan Zigai was surprised, although the Holy Lord and the central center have always been on guard against the conservative forces to overthrow the reform by force, especially since the defeat of the First Eastern Crusade last year, this worry is even stronger, so before the Holy Lord launched the Second Eastern Crusade, not only did his best to alleviate the fierce conflict with the conservative forces, but also tried to do a lot of preventive work, let the prince sit in the two capitals, to change the principle of imperial succession to split and weaken the conservative forces, is one of the important measures to prevent military coups, but it seems that the effect is not ideal at presentThe political situation in the Eastern Capital is unfolding in a direction that the Holy Lord and the reformers do not want to see.

"What's the explanation?" Fan Zigai asked.

"If we send troops, the eastern capital will inevitably be empty, and what is even stricter is that if the army that went out of Beijing can't come back, what will we do to defend the eastern capital?"

Fan Zigai's face suddenly became ugly. Can't come back? What do you mean? Military coup?

"Are you sure?"

Cui Zhen sneered, "How did King Qi get out of Beijing?" Who let him go? Where are these people now? ”

Now these people are all in the Eastern Capital, and even directly control the army, if the Eastern Capital army goes out of Beijing to suppress thieves, it is indeed possible to serve the King of Qi and be used by the King of Qi.

"King Qi?" Fan Zigai's eyes were cold, and his tone was a little unkind.

Cui Zhen knew what he was thinking, and immediately shook his hand, "You are wrong, if you set your eyes on King Qi, you will be taken advantage of by the opponent." ”

Fan Zigai suddenly realized. King Qi's goal is too big, and now the rumors that are not conducive to King Qi are rampant, and because of this, King Qi has become the enemy's best "shield", but the crux of the matter is that once the crisis in the Eastern Capital explodes, what will become of King Qi's "shield"? He will definitely use this crisis to make political gains, but what is his goal? Is it the right of imperial succession, or the position of the prince?

Heavy fog, just like the eastern capital in front of him, Fan Zigai can't see the enemy and me at all, if it weren't for Cui Zhen's eyes like a torch, he is afraid that he would really be deceived by the civil and military officials in the court, and the army of the eastern capital will be transferred out of Beijing to suppress thieves, and as soon as the army of the eastern capital comes out of Beijing, it is a meat bun and a dog to fight and there is no return, and at that time the eastern capital is empty, once someone moves a military coup, Fan Zigai can't find a place to cry.

Now Fan Zigai has finally figured it out, no matter who the opponent is, and no matter when the crisis in the Eastern Capital will explode, he only needs to do one thing well, that is, to hold the Eastern Capital. At present, the conservative forces in the Eastern Capital are too strong, if someone mutinies, the conservative forces join forces inside and outside, and the Eastern Capital will fall, and the consequences of the fall of the Eastern Capital are too terrible, and the Holy Lord and the reformers will fall into extreme passivity in politics, and they will be overthrown by the conservative forces if they are not careful.

"If the opponent deliberately cuts off the Tongji Canal in order to lure the Eastern Capital army out of Beijing...... Fan Zigai is still worried about the safety of the Tongji Canal.

"Unless the King of Qi wants to die, he will never cut off the Tongji Canal." Cui Zhen sneered, "If the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition is a qiē shun lì, my expeditionary force will probably arrive at the city of Pyongyang around July, so the best time for the crisis to break out in the Eastern Capital should be a certain day in July, that is to say, before the crisis in the Eastern Capital explodes, no one up and down the Eastern Capital wants to see the Tongji Canal cut off." Since everyone is unwilling to cut off the Tongji Canal, how can the Tongji Canal be cut off? ”

Fan Zigai comprehended and shook his jaw. Although he really wants to send troops, wants to kill the white thieves, wants to resolve the Tongjiqu crisis, and wants to nip the crisis in the eastern capital in the bud, but his strength is too limited, and the same is true for King Yue and Cui Zhen, even if the two sides join forces, it is difficult to contend with those opponents who are openly and secretly wolf bèi and colluding, and the only thing that can be done now is to concentrate limited forces in a limited time and try to protect the east after the crisis comes.
