.

In the study room, the aroma of tea was thick and the atmosphere was quiet. Liu Ji and Zhang Liang sat across from each other across the coffee table, looking at each other in silence.

The former was shocked and speechless. He couldn't believe that there would be such a situation of boycotting the head coach's assumption of office, and the other party actually had valid reasons. The latter was simply ashamed to death, angry and speechless, and really didn't know what to say...

After a long time, Liu Jie slowly exhaled and said helplessly: "In that case, why did Duke Yu come to my house? The military and government are different. I don't have even the slightest influence in the army. I really can't help."

He was really helpless.

The reason why he was at a disadvantage in repeated battles with Fang Jun and was restrained in every aspect was not because he was incompetent, but because the partners around him were too useless.

The dignified Duke of the Fallen Kingdom, the honorable minister of Zhenguan, and the General Youjin Wuwei appointed by the imperial court were boycotted before he could fulfill his duties. He even returned to the city without even entering the military camp, and fled in despair...

With the loss of face and loss of prestige, how can one hope to control Youjin Wuwei in the future?

I finally understand why Zhang Liang surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with Li Ji. With his qualifications as a "General of Tiance Mansion", he has not been reused for many years. Emperor Taizong has a good sense of people... Zhang Liang naturally came here to ask for help. But at this moment, after hearing Liu Jie's words, he suddenly realized that he had come to rely on Liu Jie. If he wanted Liu Jie to take him seriously, he had to show his worth. Now after suffering a setback, he actually

Liu Ji, who came to ask for help, was unable to do anything about it. Apart from making the other party hate him, what was the use of him? He felt regretful in his heart and said quickly: "I am not here to ask for help, but to prove Fang Jun's domineering behavior in the army according to the truth." Report, although this matter has caused loss of face and prestige, Fang Jun’s actions are even more taboo. Zhongshu Ling may be able to

Contact the imperial censor to impeach." Liu Jie nodded slightly and agreed: "The public statement of the Fallen Kingdom is justified. The army is the cornerstone of the empire, and power can only be in the hands of your majesty. Fang Jun is now controlling the Jinwu Guards, covering the sky with one hand. What sounds good is arrogant and domineering, greedy for power

The worst thing to say is to have evil intentions and steal artifacts! Our civil servants are responsible for detecting lawlessness and impeaching injustice, and we must not allow it to run rampant to the point where military discipline is weakened and the court's principles are corrupted." Zhang Liang blinked, and it turned out that the civil servants were still evil-minded and ruthless. He just wanted to use impeachment to make Fang Jun feel scrupulous and use the weapon of fear, so as to actively reduce the control of Jinwu Guards in the right, but Liu Jie brandished a steel knife and took it straight.

Fang Jun’s destiny.

Stealing artifacts with evil intentions... Which minister deserves such a crime?

But at the same time, there is also a faint concern that Fang Jun will not sit back and wait for death. The more serious the charges of impeachment by civilian officials, the greater the trend, and the more fierce Fang Jun's counterattack will be.

He may not necessarily attack the censor who impeached him, but he will definitely bear the brunt of it.

Zhang Liang frowned, the situation was very passive...

*****

"Ha?! How can it still be like this? The Duke of Yun, holding a court appointment document, can also be blocked from the camp gate?"

In the imperial study room of Wude Palace, Li Chengqian was surprised and a little unbelievable when he heard Li Junxian's reply.

The emperor's "Jinkou Yuyan" and "the emperor's order is supreme" are indeed used to bluff people. The emperor is the nominal lord of the world, but only in name. In private, he does not take the emperor's order seriously.

a lot of.

However, in the peaceful and prosperous age when the imperial power was stable, it was really shocking and unexpected to so blatantly refute the imperial appointments and show such disdain to the officials appointed by the emperor.

Li Junxian shook his head and said: "Although this matter seems a bit excessive, Shi Wang Xuance, the commander of Youjinwu Guards, is indeed justified. He is not resisting His Majesty's edict or imperial appointment."

Li Chengqian frowned and said: "The Right Jinwu Guards are really training? Are the lieutenant generals really not even able to spare the time to greet the commander?" "When the Duke of Yue was ordered to reorganize the left and right garrison guards and form the Left and Right Jinwu Guards, he realized that these two

The army has an important task of safeguarding the security of the capital city and cannot afford to miss it, so it has formulated a series of extremely strict military training plans. Regular military training is one of them. It is also stipulated that during the training period, unless a close relative dies of illness or the emperor calls for such a major event, all

No one is allowed to leave his post without authorization... The imperial court has appointed Duke Yun Guo for some time, but Duke Yun Guo has finally

I just recently resigned from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and I did not notify you in advance when I went to take up the post of Youjinwu Guard. This led to some twists and turns in taking up the post, which is reasonable." In his opinion, General Youjinwu Guard cannot be blamed for this incident, Zhang

Liang should have gone to take office a long time ago but has delayed it for various reasons. He suddenly went to take office on a whim. We cannot let the tens of thousands of people in Youjin Wuwei do nothing all day long.

Why don't you just wait to greet him?

The humiliation suffered is entirely due to one's own fault.

Of course, Wang Xuance, who previously served as the general manager of the "Eastern Datang Company", has now become famous. As a long history, he treated the military commander so harshly and made the commander disgraced. It can be said that the government and the public were shocked...

Li Chengqian frowned and said nothing, feeling depressed.

Fang Jun has resigned from the military for a long time, but the army he led still enforces the military rules and disciplines he established. This prestige is likely to make every emperor feel like he is sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in the back.

In the end, Zhang Liang was still incompetent. When Liu Ji recommended Zhang Liang, Li Chengqian thought that Zhang Liang was an old minister of the Qin Dynasty.

For his recommendation, I hope Zhang

Liang was able to firmly control the Right Jinwu Guards, and he fought with Fang Jun's confidant Zuo Jinwu Guards General Cheng Wuting to achieve a balance and jointly protect the capital.

Now it seems that Zhang Liang may not be qualified...

After thinking for a while, Li Chengqian ordered: "Keep an eye on Wang Xuance to see if he has contact with the Duke of Yue in private, and also find out whether today's actions against Zhang Liang were authorized by the Duke of Yue."

"Here."

Li Junxian accepted the order and saw that Li Chengqian had no other instructions, so he resigned and left.

Li Chengqian let out a breath and felt bored in his chest. He stood up and opened the window and looked at the leafy flowers and trees in the courtyard and the classical and elegant pavilions, but his mood did not ease.

In such a huge empire, countless things that happen every day will eventually be summarized in front of him, the emperor, and he will make his own decisions.

This is unparalleled power and at the same time incomparable pressure.

A correct decision can make the country more prosperous, but a wrong decision can also make the country's long-standing shortcomings worse...

The responsibility is like a mountain on your shoulders.

It would have been fine if he was an emperor who had no pursuits and could just muddle along. However, Li Chengqian insisted on proving himself, and Rushan's pressure immediately doubled... The dispute with the queen made the entire palace panic, rumors spread, and Zhang Liang not only He failed to usurp Fang Jun's prestige in the military, but lost face and further strengthened Fang Jun's power...one by one.

, everything went wrong. Looking back on the past now, he simply couldn't imagine how Emperor Taizong survived the desperate situation in Xuanwumen, and how he was criticized and cursed by the whole world for "killing brothers and killing brothers". Kill the day of birth, open

Create a "prosperous age of Zhenguan".

Being in a different place, he felt that he had already collapsed.

Today, he understands that those who have achieved great things in the past and present must not only have great talent, but also have perseverance, and also have endless energy.

He is now exhausted by the government affairs. It's not that he doesn't want to recruit beautiful women in the palace, but he is really powerless...

The world only sees the emperor's supreme power and majesty, but cannot see the mountain of pressure the emperor has to bear.

It's not easy to be an emperor.

…

Li Jing's Mansion. Li Jing, who has retired from official service, is living a happy life now. Apart from teaching at the "Zhenguan Academy" which will reopen after autumn, he occasionally goes to the palace to advise His Majesty on the military affairs. He spends the rest of his time doing what he likes.

Compiling military books, traveling around the forest and springs, playing with the grandsons, and ignoring the treacherous clouds and factions above the court, I felt completely at ease. Today, Li Jing put down his writing brush and hosted a banquet for Li Ji who came to visit. After the banquet, Drinking tea and chatting in the flower hall, they naturally talked about going to Youjinwu Guards to take up the post. However, Zhang Liang was disgraced and disgraced.

. Accompanying him here is Li Ji’s younger brother, General Li Keshi, who leads the left army. He took a sip of tea at this moment and said with emotion: "The Youjinwu Guard was reorganized from the Youtun Guard. There are houses up and down. Jun's confidant, Zhang Liangwang

It is really a foolish move to try to control Youjinwu Guard to achieve great achievements. Not to mention whether he can fully control Youjinwu Guard, if he can escape unscathed in the future, I will think highly of him."

As an honorable minister of Zhenguan, how could he not know who Zhang Liang was? It is not an exaggeration to say that he is "severe in appearance" and "a man of great ambition and talent". He followed Li Ji to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Later, Li Ji rose to greatness, but Zhang Liang's official career was full of twists and turns. There are only a few, which shows that his talents are really mediocre...

…

Your Majesty cannot be called wise in trying to use such a person to usurp Fang Jun's power. When he was in Jiangnan, Zhang Liang was suppressed by Fang Jun. Later, he took the initiative to break the relationship and became Fang Jun's successor as a senior. Eagle Dog, when there was a rift between Fang Jun and His Majesty, he immediately betrayed Fang Jun and joined Your Majesty.

He has three swords in his face and no faith. He is just a villain, but he can become a bargaining chip for Your Majesty to rely on. It shows that Your Majesty cannot recognize and employ people... Li Jing put down the tea cup and looked unhappy: "If you really have nothing to say, Then you can go back for the time being. Why bother to dirty my ears with those flies and dogs in the court? You know that I have never been good at or like these things. In the past, I

I have no choice but to endure the officialdom. Now that I have retired from office, why can't I be left alone?"

Although Li Keshi is also the commander of the first army, he is respectful and polite in front of his brother. He quickly apologized: "It's my fault. Brother, don't be angry. If you don't say it, it's like this."

He knew that the reason why his brother spoke like this was not only because he didn't like to talk about it, but also because he was trying to silence Li Ji.

The dignified British prince paid a sudden visit. Is it really just to catch up on old times and have a drink?
