Chapter 359: Negotiation and Compromise (3)

Cui Gan asked Cen Wenwen, "Lord Cen has always been thoughtful, how could he make such a decision this time?" Does Lord Mo Feicen have any other intentions? ”

Cen Wenwen said: "Lord Cui, Lord Lu, now my Southern Shi clan and your Shandong Hao clan support His Royal Highness King Wei and their crown prince Chengqian, who is supported by the nobles of Guanlong, and fight for the position of Prince of the Tang Dynasty with all their might. Lord Cui and Lord Lu, you are also thoughtful and cautious people, aren't you worried that someone will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and in the end, he took advantage of the endless fight between His Royal Highness the King of Wei and the crown prince Chengqian, and when both sides were defeated, he took the opportunity to seize the position of the prince of my Tang Dynasty? Let my Southern Shi clan and your Shandong Hao clan all work in vain, wasting decades of effort in vain? Whether we are a person or an official, we must not only stare at the front, but also guard against the back, the front door rejects the tiger, the back door rejects the wolf, the eyes are on the four roads, and the ears are listening to the eight directions, Lord Cui, Lord Lu, you say, am I right? ”

Cui Gan and Lu Chengqing were stunned for a moment, and after being silent for a long time, they asked: "Could it be that the intention of Lord Xiao Yuxiao's letter is to prevent His Royal Highness the King of Jin from sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, becoming the last person to pick peaches, and becoming my prince of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Cen Wenwen nodded and said, "His Royal Highness King Jin is His Majesty's third son after all. After the crown prince Chengqian and His Royal Highness the King of Wei, he is the most qualified to inherit the position of the prince of my Tang Dynasty. Lord Cui and Lord Lu, we have to be on guard against His Royal Highness King Jin. The purpose of Lord Xiao Yuxiao's letter this morning is to let His Majesty send the King of Jin to Bingzhou to take up the domain, away from the center of my Tang Dynasty's political power - the imperial capital Chang'an City, and completely cut off the opportunity for the King of Jin to become my Tang prince, but what we never expected was that Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, would take the opportunity to add a fire, asking His Majesty to send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to the fief at the same time, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei to the fief to take up the domain. This is all something that neither I nor Lord Xiao Yu Xiao expected, but as a result, there was the scene that Lord Cui and Lord Lu saw in the court. ”

Cui Gan and Lu Chengqing looked at each other and said, "We think Lord Cen is worried. It's very likely. Our wealthy clan in Shandong, like your southern scholars, must not allow His Royal Highness the King of Jin to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when His Royal Highness the King of Wei and the crown prince Chengqian compete for the throne, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has the opportunity to become the prince of my Tang Dynasty. Now that we know Lord Cen's intentions, what should we do, Lord Cen? How can I cut off the opportunity for His Royal Highness King Jin to become my prince of the Tang Dynasty? ”

After Cen Wenwen was silent for a moment, he said a person's name with a serious attitude: "Eldest Sun Wuji." ”

Cui Gan, Lu Chengqing, and Xiao Yu all looked at Cen Wenwen in surprise, and they couldn't guess what Cen Wenwen was doing when he suddenly mentioned the eldest grandson Wuji.

Cen Wenwen said: "We are going to contact Sun Wuji, the chief minister of the Guanlong aristocracy, the two tigers are fighting, and the hunter is beside him." No matter which tiger it is, it will be extremely vigilant, and everyone is worried that after the two tigers compete, the hunter will pick up the cheap one. In that case, why don't the two tigers join forces, get rid of the hunter first, and then fight with all their might? ”

Cui Gan asked in surprise: "Lord Cen is talking about contacting Sun Wuji, the chief minister of the Guanlong aristocracy, and the three major forces in our world will join forces." Forcing His Majesty to send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to Bingzhou to serve as a vassal and cut off the opportunity for His Royal Highness the King of Jin to become the prince of my Tang Dynasty? Although Lord Cen's plan is good, our Shandong Hao clan, Southern Shi clan and their Guanlong nobles have been fighting for so many years, and they have a deep grudge. Will Wuji, the eldest grandson who leads the Guanlong aristocratic group, unite with us? ”

Cen Wenwen replied: "Master Cui and Lord Lu can rest assured. As long as we explain our worries to his eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji will know what to do? Because he has the same situation and the same psychology as us. He was also worried that His Royal Highness the King of Jin would sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. became the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he was also worried that he and his Guanlong aristocratic group would have wasted decades of hard work. ”

After listening to Cen Wenwen's words. Xiao Yu, Cui Gan, and Lu Chengqing all nodded again and again.

Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is the residence of Sun Wuji, the chief of the Ministry of Officials.

In the study, the eldest grandson Wuji and Cen Wenwen sat opposite each other.

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a mocking face: "Lord Cen, why did you suddenly think that my mansion was here?" Could it be that you are asking me to assist Lord Cen and Lord Xiao to persuade Your Majesty to send Li Tai, the King of Wei, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin to the fiefdom to settle down? ”

Cen Wenwen had a calm bearing, and said directly to the point: "Lord Changsun, my southern scholar clan does have a request for Lord Changsun, and I hope that Lord Changsun can assist us to persuade His Majesty to send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to the fief to the domain." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sneered: "Yo, didn't you persuade Your Majesty to send Li Tai, the King of Wei, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin to the fiefdom together?" How did he become a person under His Royal Highness King Jin? What about Li Tai, the king of Wei? Why don't you let him go to the fief as well? As long as Li Tai, the king of Wei, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin all leave Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and go to the fiefdom to become a feudal domain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and our Guanlong nobles can rest assured. ”

Cen Wenwen still said unhurriedly: "Now His Royal Highness the King of Wei, who is supported by my Southern Shi clan and the Shandong Hao clan, is competing with the crown prince Chengqian, who is supported by your Guanlong nobles, to compete for the position of the prince, if Lord Changsun is really not worried that His Royal Highness the King of Jin will become a person who sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, and finally becomes the person of my Tang Dynasty Prince, then okay, let's let His Royal Highness the King of Jin stay in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and don't let him go to his own fiefdom and state to become a vassal." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Lord Cen, what did you say?" You said that the king of Jin may become a person who sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, and finally becomes the person of my Tang prince? Is this possible? ”

Cen Wenwen said: "Why does Lord Changsun think this is impossible? His Royal Highness the King of Jin is also His Majesty's son-in-law, the eldest grandson of the Empress, although he is still young now, but as he gets older, he stays in Chang'an City, the capital of my Tang Dynasty, and he also has the opportunity to become the prince of my Tang Dynasty and succeed the unification. Today, I came to discuss the alliance with Lord Changsun, and our three major forces joined forces to force His Majesty to send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to Bingzhou to take up the domain, so that His Royal Highness the King of Jin would completely lose the opportunity to become my prince of the Tang Dynasty, so that we can rely on our abilities to support His Royal Highness the King of Wei and the crown prince Chengqian, and give it a go, isn't it? Now, we are fighting with all our might, and we can't help but be afraid of His Royal Highness the King of Jin who is fighting directly on our side, right? If His Royal Highness the King of Jin really becomes the prince of my Tang Dynasty in the end, Lord Changsun, your Guanlong nobles, like our Southern Shi clan and Shandong Hao clan, decades of hard work will be in vain, I am afraid that Lord Changsun and your Guanlong aristocratic group will also be unwilling.
