Above the court, in front of the emperor, he was scolded as "short-sighted" in front of the civil and military officials of the court. Laiji blushed and said angrily: "Fang Jun! This is above the court, how dare you bully me like this?"
It's just that although he screamed loudly, he was not actually that angry in his heart, and even had a self-deprecating wry smile...
Who doesn’t know that Fang Jun is Chang’an’s biggest stick, always fearless and extremely talented? Honestly, Lai Ji really wants to hear Fang Jun’s insights on how the court should respond after a natural disaster. This guy
He has always been quick-thinking and unconstrained. If he had not really had some firm ideas, he would never have stood up to the court like this.
However, the Jiangdu Lai clan has long lost the power and glory it had when his father was still alive. Because his ancestral home was in Xinye and was not moved to Guangling until the time of Emperor Gaozu, he was never accepted by the Jiangnan gentry and was squeezed out and suppressed in every possible way, so he had no choice but to seek refuge in Guanlong.
Group, seeking a slim chance of survival.
Otherwise, within a few years, the Jiangdu Lai clan will completely fall and disappear into the world...
Although Lai Ji has never been used to Fang Jun's arrogance and domineering attitude, he thinks he is too unruly... In other words, the reason why the Jiangdu Lai clan is in trouble now is because those Jiangnan nobles do not follow the rules and gradually erode the interests of the Jiangdu Lai clan.
It was caused by this, so Lai Ji hated any unruly behavior...but at the same time, he admired Fang Jun's talent and ability very much.
However, Dao was not in agreement with each other. Even if he was unwilling to confront Fang Jun in the court, he still had to bite the bullet and confront him in the face of the instructions of Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and others.
Since you are living under someone else's roof, you must be willing to be a pawn...
He went through the whole show, even though he was not petitioning in his heart, but he still looked furious on his face.
Fang Jun sneered and said: "Although the words are ugly, the truth is obvious. Although Shaanzhou is not an important place in Guanzhong, it is located between Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang. It has always been rich in resources and people, and has thousands of hectares of fertile land. It is an important place in the Kinki region of the empire.
However, now that we are suffering from a natural disaster, we cannot carry out rescue immediately. Instead, we have to allow the surviving people in the area to be displaced, causing a rich city to gradually wither. What is the reason? "
Lai Ji kept silent.
He has already followed the wishes of the Guanlong Group and stood up. It is enough to express his position clearly. There is no need to continue the tit-for-tat conflict with Fang Jun.
Fang Xuanling has not been to court many times in recent days. It is not known whether it is because she is really unwell, or whether she is taking a stay-away attitude towards the scandal between Fang Jun and Princess Changle, or even whether she is expressing dissatisfaction with the measures the emperor is going to take... In short, it is still the same today.
Report illness at home.
The head of the civil servants was Gao Shilian, followed by Changsun Wuji, and then Cen Wenwen...
Gao Shilian glanced back and saw that the old god Cen Wenwen was in a state of concentration with his eyes closed, as if he was in a trance. He glanced at Changsun Wuji again, then nodded and lowered his eyes.
Changsun Wuji felt helpless. At this time, he should let the ministers continue to argue with Fang Jun. No matter what Fang Jun had in mind, just destroy it.
But Gao Shilian's glance clearly told him to stand up.
Logically speaking, his status was not suitable for him to argue with Fang Jun at this time, but he understood that Gao Shilian probably wanted to take revenge for his instigating his aunt Xian Yu's family a few days ago, which caused the Gao family to fall into trouble...
Changsun Wuji could only smile helplessly, thought for a while, and said: "What the Minister Fang said is not necessarily a national strategy. Regarding natural disaster relief, perhaps the court should come up with an unprecedented charter. His Majesty also said, '
The saying that "the people are like the water, the king is like the boat" is actually the principle of heaven and earth. The people's will is the key to whether the empire can last forever. However... although Fang Shilang is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, he should not interfere too much with the household.
Ministry errands, in the final analysis, you are just the Minister of War, not the Prime Minister, haha..."
This is the brilliance of Changsun Wuji.
He didn't know if Fang Jun was really confident and had a proper way to solve the shortcomings of timely disaster relief. If he bluntly said that Fang Jun was trying to gain favor by talking nonsense, if someone really came up with a countermeasure, he would be slapped in the face.
Fang Jun was slapped in the face not once or twice...
So he didn't dwell on what Fang Jun said or did, but pointed directly at the core of the problem. You are just a minister of the Ministry of War. What does disaster relief have to do with you?
Each department has its own responsibilities. You can't just do everyone else's work just because you, Fang Jun, are so talented, right?
In this case, what's the point of having the Ministry of Household Affairs responsible for disaster relief and rescue operations?
It's better to remove them all and let you do it alone...
Not only did he refute Fang Jun's meddling in other people's business, but he also easily aroused the hatred of the household department, making Fang Jun a human being.
The courtiers were all shrewd people. After just a moment's thought, they realized the agility in Changsun Wuji's words, which pushed Fang Jun into the pit. Everyone had to admire him in their hearts.
To be called a "yin man" by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Changsun Wuji's fighting ability is indeed unpredictable...
There was a burst of noise in the main hall, and the civil and military ministers whispered to each other, and some even sneered, waiting to see how Fang Jun would respond. After all, Jiang was still hot, Changsun Wuji simply said something, and directly dismissed Fang Jun
Forced into the corner of "a dog messing with a mouse and meddling in its own business"...
Fang Jun stood in the hall with a happy face and no trace of embarrassment at all.
His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Fang Jun, who was standing tall in the palace, expressionlessly, and sighed slightly in his heart. Ordinarily, at this time, he should scold Fang Jun directly, and then demote him out of the capital for an excuse, which would achieve his goal.
The purpose of weakening the prince's power.
Seeing the heroic young official in front of him, even though he knew that he was about to face the outcome of being relegated from the capital, he still stepped forward without hesitation to offer suggestions and help relieve the empire's worries. The love in his heart still made him hesitate.
In my mind, I recall the time when Fang Jun went into the Taiji Hall to present the "Zhenguan Plow" at the great court meeting, and also presented him with the method of burning glass that turned stone into gold, which made his internal funds gradually richer, which could support him to conquer Goguryeo and complete the hegemony for a generation.
He was so ambitious that he developed the "Shocking Thunder" that made the Turkic Wolf Cavalry become obedient after hearing it and fled to the desert without daring to take a step beyond the thunder. What's more, he also sailed a boat to level the seven seas and spread the power of the Tang Dynasty to foreign lands...
Each one, each one, is a masterpiece!
If you think about it carefully, the reason why the Tang Dynasty has its current prosperous, beautiful and powerful scene is almost due to Fang Jun's actions.
Not to mention, his favorite Princess Changle had even made up her mind to marry Qiu Shenji in order to prevent his decision, leaving him without any excuse to anger Fang Jun...
At the same time, Fang Xuanling refused to go to court due to illness for a long time, as well as Li Xiaogong, Li Daozhong, the royal family's persuasion, Cen Wenwen, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xuansu, Kong Yingda, Du Zhenglun, Ma Zhou and other loyal ministers
The advice also forced His Majesty Li Er to reconsider his own purpose. Is it really the best way to keep the Tang Dynasty strong and strong for thousands of generations?
His Majesty Li Er had thought that there would be opposition once Yi Chu moved, but he never thought that the force of opposition would be so great! Even as the supreme being in the world, even if he is proud and arrogant, he is wise and mighty, he cannot consider the consequences...
Once the situation in the court is in turmoil, and it even lasts until the new emperor ascends the throne in the future... it will completely deviate from his original intention of easy storage.
With internal discord and ministerial divisions, it is impossible to talk about strengthening the country and enriching the people, how to talk about dominating the world, and how to talk about lasting forever...
His Majesty Li Er took a deep breath, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind one by one, and then he said in a deep voice: "If Fang Aiqing has any opinion, you might as well say it directly. But as Zhao Guogong said, you are the minister of the Ministry of War, but you rashly said so
The affairs of the Household Department are actually violations of the rules. If your advice has merit, I can forgive you for criticizing it; but if you are just talking nonsense, don't blame me for punishing you severely!"
As soon as these words came out, Changsun Wuji was immediately shocked!
I am very familiar with His Majesty Li Er's temperament. These words mean that the emperor Yi Chu's idea has been shaken. At least he may not demote Fang Jun from the capital... This is something Changsun Wuji is absolutely unwilling to do.
have witnessed.
Although Fang Xuanling was deeply trusted and valued by the emperor, he was getting older and his appointment to the official position was only a matter of one or two years. Once Fang Xuanling became official, the situation of the entire civil service group would be completely disrupted. Changsun Wuji was confident that with his
His appeal can attract more important ministers to fight against the prince's line, and support Jin Wang Li Zhi to aspire to be the heir apparent.
But if Fang Jun was in Chang'an, with his own talents and official positions, he could perfectly inherit Fang Xuanling's political legacy and closely connect his loyalties to Fang Xuanling and even ministers who were inclined to the prince.
After all, the prince is where justice lies...
Only then did Changsun Wuji suddenly realize that Fang Jun's purpose might not actually be any natural disaster rescue at all, but to stand in front of His Majesty as a sincere and loyal minister, reminding the Emperor of his achievements, and thus
Make a simple choice between continuing to reuse or denouncing Chujing!
Obviously, this guy had a good understanding of His Majesty's heart and temperament, and got the result he wanted most.
