Chapter 1,158 If I follow you, you have to protect me
This has two meanings.
On the first level, you, Li Junxian, are the emperor's dog. You will do whatever the emperor asks you to do. You don't know how to refuse but you don't dare to refuse. For example, if you are asked to follow my people secretly...
On the second level, you, Li Junxian, are just like the dog pulling the sledge. Even though you spy on me secretly, you are actually being driven away by me. You know everything I want you to know, and you can’t know anything I don’t want you to know...
…
Two meanings, but one meaning - you, Li Junxian, are a dog.
How can Li Junxian not be angry?
If not in front of the emperor, Li Junxian swore that he would pull out his sword and fight Fang Jun!
How could anyone be so abusive!
But these words sounded completely different to His Majesty Li Er.
We are the emperor's dogs, and we can do whatever you want. But not all people in the world are your dogs. There are always people who want to go against you, and you can't control them at all...
If we listen to you, you have to protect us; those who oppose you, you have to whip them hard.
Otherwise, those who listen to you will suffer, and those who go against you will take advantage. If things go on like this, who will still listen to you?
How is this meant to criticize Li Junxian?
He was clearly telling His Majesty Li Er: Emperor, the minister may be in trouble now, regardless of whether it’s justified or not, you have to protect me...
Is there such a shameless person in the world?
A dog pulls a sledge, but he actually expresses the meaning of asking for help in it, saying it so shamelessly and strangely...
His Majesty Li Er was very angry. Why is this person so hateful?
They haven't started yet. You just felt something was wrong, so you hurriedly asked for help in front of me and hugged your thigh. Can you still have some ambition? When you sent your subordinate Qu to lead people to kill Changsun Dan.
, why are you not afraid of people settling accounts with you?
But what Fang Jun said is really true...
Everyone in the world knows that I am the emperor's eagle and dog's minions. Now the eagle and dog are going to be bullied. If you don't help, how will others think of you?
It will chill the hearts of those who follow you.
Fang Jun almost said the classic saying: If people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead the team...
His Majesty Li Er cannot ignore Fang Jun.
The "Baiqisi" investigation clearly revealed that Changsun Tan's death had nothing to do with Fang Jun. Whether it was the Guanlong Group's trick to push Fang Jun into the water, or someone else wanted to frame Fang Jun, he had to protect Fang Jun.
Even if Fang Jun really killed Changsun Dan, he had already made up his mind to protect Fang Jun, not to mention that it was not Fang Jun who did it now?
His Majesty Li Er got lucky and glared at Fang Jun and asked: "How do you want to deal with it?"
Fang Jun said: "Weichen plans to start the incident in advance to attract the attention of the world at once. No matter how the murderer plans to operate this matter, framing the blame is his absolute purpose. Weichen does not know the situation at the scene yet, but it is certain
What is true is that there must be evidence against Wei Chen. The murderer must have framed Wei Chen legally on the one hand, and mobilized public opinion to force His Majesty to make concessions, and at the same time ruined Wei Chen's reputation. So, did I kill Changsun Dan?
It’s no longer important. Regarding the law, Wei Chen doesn’t think there can be any sufficient evidence, and public opinion is both timely and directional. When playing this game, Wei Chen thinks he won’t lose to anyone.”
What is public opinion?
It is said that it is powerful and can bring down high-ranking officials and make the emperor guilty;
It's bullshit. As long as the emperor is determined and unwavering, he will remain firm despite the storm...
Pure public opinion will not have any lethality. Only when it is combined with absolute rights can it explode with unparalleled power.
For example, in the Yuan family incident, if Fang Jun was not Jing Zhaoyin and did not secretly send patrols to release water, how could a group of ordinary people attack Daodefang in Chang'an City and wipe out a hairpin family?
The same is true for this matter now.
As long as His Majesty can be stable and withstand the ensuing public opinion offensive, his Fang Jun will be as stable as Mount Tai.
His Majesty Li Er pondered: "That matter... it is indeed a bit hasty to start it now. But there is no perfect strategy in this world. Solve the problem when you encounter it. I allow you to start it. But you have to control the scope and deal with it carefully."
Once that incident is launched, it will have far-reaching consequences, and even the slightest carelessness will cause turmoil in Guanzhong.
But it is indeed a good way to divert attention...

On the other side, Cheng Wuting led people to the inn near Xihu County in Chang'an City.
Before arriving at the inn, he saw many people at the inn in front of him on the official road in the distance. Many people had arrived at some unknown time. Cheng Wuting's heart tightened, and he remembered Fang Jun's instructions and hurried forward.
When they arrived at the gate of the post house, they saw dozens of officials in soap-colored robes surrounding the post house, confronting the Fang family members who had blocked the post house.
Cheng Wuting quickly got off his horse and stepped forward.
From a distance, one of the leading officials in soap robes could be heard sternly scolding: "This is the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Are there any places or cases that our Ministry of Punishment cannot handle? Those who know how to deal with it should step away quickly, otherwise they will definitely be punished."
You are charged with obstruction of official duties, whipped with a cane, and exiled to the army. Do you think you are joking?"
Standing opposite him was a dark-faced strong man, with a body like an iron tower standing in front of the door, refusing to give in even a step. His dark face showed the indifference and coldness of a life spent in battles, and his tone was gentle and rough:
"I am an errand under Jing Zhaoyin. Not to mention that if you go to the Criminal Department, you can go to the Political Affairs Hall, or even if you come from the imperial palace, you can't even think of going overboard! Unless there is a warrant from Jing Zhaoyin, no one will go in!"
The official was so angry that he pointed at Dahan's nose and yelled: "It's against you! You Jingzhaoyin only care about the local area, how can you still control our punishment department?" He pointed to the crowd behind him,
He said, "Did you see that? That is the right minister of the Ministry of Justice. He is only two ranks lower than your Jing Zhaoyin. You won't let me in, how dare you not let him in? How brave you are!"
The big man glanced contemptuously at the person he pointed at, and smiled in his heart.
What about the fool?
A minister of the Ministry of Justice is only a fourth-rank official, which is two ranks lower than that of Jing Zhaoyin? Even if I don't know how to count, I still have a third or fourth rank! Besides, don't say that you are a minister, even if you are a minister of the six departments in Fang Jun
Isn’t this Jing Zhaoyin also a head shorter in front of him?
And with Fang Jun's temper, even if you are a genuine prince standing in front of Fang Jun, would you dare to speak in this tone?
I can't beat you to death...
The big man looked the same and said coldly: "I have only one sentence and want to enter the post house without Jing Zhaoyin's warrant. Unless I get over the corpse of someone, otherwise - don't even think about it!"
The official was furious and wanted to say more. The minister of punishment in the crimson official robe behind him was already a little impatient and said: "Don't make noise with him. There are many of us. Just disperse them all! Let us know.
The post office is now under the control of our Punishment Department. Anyone who is waiting is to get out of the way, otherwise he will be taken on the spot and thrown into the Punishment Department's prison, and he will be punished for obstructing the execution of the mission and delaying the investigation!"
"promise!"
A group of officials and minor officials from the Ministry of Punishment were very excited and eager to come forward...
There are many of them, Fang Family Buqu only has a dozen people, so they seem to have an obvious advantage.
Unexpectedly, the dark-faced man stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword from his waist, and the bright blade shone brightly in the sun.
Immediately afterwards, the other steps drew out their horizontal knives one after another, and for a while, the sound of "choking" could be heard at the door of the post house.
In the blink of an eye, a wall of swords appeared in front of everyone in the Punishment Department!
The sword is shining brightly, and the murderous aura is frosty!
Everyone in the punishment department changed their expressions!
The servant turned pale with fright and said angrily: "Do you want to rebel?"
The black-faced strong man had a calm voice and said coldly: "We are ordered by Jing Zhaoyin to strictly guard this place and no one is allowed to enter. Again, if you want to enter, you will have to die in battle unless we all die."
! We are not afraid of death, are you afraid? If you are not afraid, then come and fight, blood will be splashed five steps away, and we will have no complaints. If you are afraid..."
Dozens of people shouted in unison: "Then get out!"
The sound was so majestic and powerful that the crows perched on the dead trees on both sides of the official road were startled to flap their wings and fly away, making strange cries.
They are all warriors who have followed Fang Jun in the north and south. At this moment, they are standing on horseback with their swords drawn. They have a kind of awe-inspiring murderous aura of leaping horses and swords on the battlefield!
Where did the people from the Criminal Department wait to pass through such a scene?
One and two of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and their two bodies were fighting!
It seems that the gang of desperadoes in front of them can rush up at the next moment with sharp swords, kill them on the spot, and cut their bodies into thousands of pieces...
