Fang Zian could accept it when others mocked him. Tang Situi actually came to mock him, so of course Fang Zian slapped him with a big mouth. This guy probably really thought he was a powerful prime minister, and he even forgot how he got to the position. If he hadn't given him the chance, he wouldn't be where he is today. In just a few days, he doesn't even have basic respect for himself.

"Master Tang, your name is Si Tui, but why don't you resign and go into seclusion in the mountains? What are you doing as prime minister? Your name is Si Tui but you are not retiring. Are you a person who does not live up to his name?" Fang Zian said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall. Immediately afterwards, there was uncontrollable laughter. Fang Zian was so direct and merciless in mocking people that people were caught off guard. There were many people in the court who expressed their disapproval of Tang Situi. The minister, who was quite critical of the prime minister, felt extremely happy after hearing this and could not suppress his laughter.

Tang Sihui was now red and purple. He thought that he was already the first person in the court, and he was indeed a little over-inflated. At this moment, he was slapped, and his face was red with embarrassment. He was neither angry nor smiling, and he was frozen there. He also knew in his heart that he shouldn't tease Fang Zian, he was obviously carried away. There are some people in the court who cannot tease openly like this, and Fang Zian is one of them. He was too impatient, at least he had to wait for himself You can only attack Fang Zian when your wings are full, but now is obviously not the time.

"Master Tang, I'm sorry, I was just joking. What I mean is that writing poetry and doing work are of course not the same thing. But Master Tang is right about one thing. I am indeed a militant, but the main The war faction is not the same as the radical faction. In view of the current situation, I do not advocate the immediate Northern Expedition. It may not be a good thing to act too hastily. Since the Jin people want peace, then just negotiate with them. Anyway, the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty is not in full swing. "I think it's better to rectify the internal affairs first, stabilize the people's sentiments, enhance strength, train troops and horses, and make more complete preparations for the Northern Expedition. The result of the Northern Expedition may not be as we expected. This is my opinion." Fang Zian smiled.

Fang Zian's words aroused a buzz of discussion among the officials in the court. Some people thought that what Fang Zian said was reasonable. Now we are talking about the Northern Expedition, which is indeed a bit hasty. Everyone is talking about recovering the rivers and mountains and sending troops. During the Northern Expedition, no one considered the consequences of its failure. With the current strength comparison, who can guarantee that the Northern Expedition will succeed? What if it fails? But some people disagreed. They were very annoyed by what Fang Zian said. I feel that Fang Zian is singing the opposite and pouring cold water on a good situation when he is determined to do so. The imperial court has appointed Zhang Jun as the privy envoy, which means that everyone from top to bottom is determined to go to the Northern Expedition. At this time, Fang Zian said such a thing , is obviously inappropriate. This person belongs to the prince, and he should support the prince's decision, rather than tearing things apart at this moment and making it difficult for the prince to bite. Because everyone knows that the prince wants to do something big, and he wants to conquer the Song Dynasty. It's such a shame. No wonder this man, despite his great achievements, only got the official position of minister. It turns out there is a reason.

Tang Sidui chose to shut up. He knew that he didn't have to jump out, someone would naturally jump out. How could Zhang Jun, a man with a fiery temper and all his energy to go to the Northern Expedition, tolerate Fang Zian's words?

Sure enough, Zhang Jun spoke in a deep voice.

"Master Fang's words sound familiar to me. I remember that the traitor Qin Hui said this at the beginning. When I and others submitted a petition demanding a deadly battle with the Jin people, Qin Hui said that they must be fully prepared and not take risks.

To advance and the like. Unexpectedly, although Qin Hui is dead, the poison is still there. Your Highness, the old minister feels that the Northern Expedition really needs to be slowed down. The court must first eliminate the poison of Qin Hui's traitors. In order to prevent the court from the Northern Expedition, someone will If you say sarcastic words behind your back, you will be held back."

Zhao Shen had a strange look on his face and wanted to laugh but couldn't. Zhang Jun actually classified Fang Zian as a poisoner of the Qin Party. This was simply the funniest joke he had ever heard. Qin Hui was fooled by Fang Zian. Damn it, how could Fang Zian be the same as Qin Hui? Is Zhang Jun out of his mind? He said such a thing.

Tang Si Tui couldn't help but want to laugh, and thought to himself: It's okay now, Zhang Jun is an old fool, and he actually said this to Fang Zian. Fang Zian is bound to retaliate, why should he just stop? Now there is a good show. I guessed that Fang Zian and Zhang Jun had fallen out. I was really stupid. Why did I jump out there before? Zhang Jun was the one who took the lead in the Northern Expedition. I didn't have to join in the booing. I also provoked Fang Zian and was ridiculed by him. .You will gain wisdom after every hardship, and you will be able to be more discerning in the future. My position as prime minister is not stable yet, so it is not the time to take charge.

"Privy Zhang, your words are simply ridiculous. Are you implying that Fang Zian is also a master of Jin Guoxi? You can't say this. Fang Zian is a remnant of Qin Hui, and if Jin Guoxi is a master, so will I. Please, Prince I have decreed that the general and Fang Zian should be dismissed from their posts. This is really unreasonable."

Fang Zian didn't speak, but Shi Hao was already angry. Originally, Shi Hao didn't intend to speak out. After all, Shi Hao also had reservations about Fang Zian's views. Shi Hao also supported the imperial court's determined Northern Expedition and made preparations immediately. However, Zhang Jun Comparing his son-in-law with Qin Hui, isn't this a slander? How could Shi Hao allow him to criticize him like this?

Zhang Jun did not show weakness. This time he was re-employed and was very ambitious. He was thinking of the Northern Expedition. He would fight back mercilessly if anyone obstructed him. In his eyes, let alone a rising star like Fang Zian, It was Shi Hao. When he was the privy envoy in the imperial court, Shi Hao was still a little-known official. How could he take him seriously?

"Master Shi, I didn't say anything, I just talked about the matter. Nowadays, the Northern Expedition is the top priority in the Song Dynasty. Your good son-in-law insists on saying that the time is not ripe, and you should plan it slowly. This kind of tone Isn't it appropriate for the time? You are afraid of the Jin people, but I am not. You scholars, you are looking forward and backward every day, afraid of this and that. You have said the truth, think about it, and think about it, what is the result? Bianliang was lost, and the two saints were captured. , Everyone is staying here in Lin'an, why do you still need to think about it? If you continue to think about it, everyone can just go and float on the sea." Zhang Jun said with a sneer.

Shi Hao said angrily: "Privy Zhang, you said we are afraid of the Jin people? I and Fang Zian just went to the Kingdom of Jin not long ago. Who in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know that it was deliberately arranged by the old thief Qin Hui to borrow the money from the Jin people?" Get rid of us with your hands. We went anyway, narrowly escaped death, and came back. When we got into your mouth, Privy Zhang, we became afraid of the golden man."

Zhang Jun sneered and said: "Who knows how you came back alive? This is really strange."

"What? Privy Zhang, do you really suspect that we are spies of the Jin Kingdom? Hahaha. I didn't expect it. I only knew that you, Zhang Jun, are ambitious and talented but a fool, but I didn't know that you were so confused. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, I At this moment, Zhang Jun was participating in a book as the censor Zhongcheng. Zhang Jun was not suitable for the post of Privy Councilor at all. He talked nonsense and criticized his colleagues.

, Groundless suspicion. How can such a person take on such a heavy responsibility? I am participating in this person’s performance today. If there is any misconduct, I am willing to accept the responsibility." Shi Hao has never been so excited and angry. He has always shown a calm image, and today is Zhang Jun was so angry that he lost all sense of proportion, and his beautiful beard was blown into pieces with anger.

Everyone in the court was dumbfounded. Who would have thought that the original intention of discussing the Jin man's goodwill would actually lead to such a big thing. Shi Hao is a veteran Conglong hero, and the prince has great trust in him. In addition, Zhang Jun is an old minister personally appointed by the prince, with high hopes and heavy responsibilities. These two people are fighting. Isn't this a mess?

Zhao Shen was also stunned. He did not expect that today's court meeting would turn into such a farce, which was simply a headache. However, Zhao Shen naturally understood that Zhang Jun had said something wrong. How could Zhang Jun talk nonsense and make such a big deal? Shi Hao and Fang Zian insinuated that it was the work of Jin Guoxin. Although he didn't say it explicitly, anyone who wasn't a fool could hear it.

"Privy Zhang, you need to be careful in your words and deeds. Mr. Shi and Fang Zian survived nine deaths on their mission to the Kingdom of Jin. They have worked hard and made great achievements. How can you slander them? I can guarantee that they are not what you think. Privy Zhang, you are eager for the Northern Expedition. I am determined to regain the country for the Song Dynasty and avenge my previous shame. I know this, but I cannot criticize my colleagues in this way. This is a major matter related to honor and integrity, so how can I talk nonsense? If they are careful in the Jin Kingdom, then I am the prince. Work carefully." Zhao Shen said in a deep voice.

Zhang Jun also realized that he was talking without thinking. He didn't really think that Shi Hao and Fang Zian were Jin Guoxiang, but he was just saying something in a hurry. He is a person with a fiery personality, and he rarely speaks or acts. After thinking about it, if Zhao Shen spoke like this at this moment, it was obviously that he had gone too far.

"Privy Zhang, why don't you apologize to Mr. Shi and Mr. Fang? What you said is indeed true. Not only can His Highness the Crown Prince vouch for it, but I, Tang Situi, can also vouch for it. If you think Mr. Shi and Mr. Fang are meticulous, then So does I, Tang Si Tui." Tang Si Tui lost no time in opening his mouth and stepping on him again.

Zhang Jun smacked his lips, bowed and said: "Your Highness, the old minister just said that, but he didn't really think that in his heart. The old minister just felt that something was wrong when Master Fang came out to pour cold water on him at this time. When His Highness the Crown Prince enabled the old minister, he I told the old minister that he should actively prepare for the Northern Expedition, but now that someone is blocking it, the old minister is just worried and angry."

Zhao Shen didn't want to embarrass Zhang Jun too much, and said in a deep voice: "It's normal to have different opinions, but you can't criticize them randomly. Especially when it comes to matters of honor. Fang Zian joined hands with the Zhongyi Army to annihilate more than 30,000 enemies in the Taihang Mountains, and Master Shi went to Jin as an envoy and did not insult the prestige of the Song Dynasty. He did not succumb to the threats of the Jin people. Both of them have made great achievements. Privy Zhang needs to be more careful with his words in the future and not to hurt two loyal and virtuous ministers. This time... for the sake of my prince, Mr. Shi, Fang Zian, I think let it go. Don’t make any more trouble about this matter. The most important thing right now is to share the same hatred and work together. What do you think? ?”

After talking to this point, what can Fang Zian and Shi Hao say? Shi Hao snorted and returned to the train. Fang Zian didn't say a word from beginning to end. But in his heart, he was extremely disappointed with this Zhang Jun.
