Chapter 1,500: Your Majesty, you see right through this!
In the first year of Emperor Yang's great career in the Sui Dynasty, Ouyang Xun was appointed as Dr. Taichang.
In the second year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Yu Wenhuaji rebelled in Jiangdu and claimed to be the emperor. As a court official, Ouyang Xun was also kidnapped by him.
In the third year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Dou Jiande conquered Liaocheng, and Ouyang Xun was retained by the Xia State and awarded the post of Taichang Qing.
In the fifth year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, King Li Shimin of Qin defeated Dou Jiande in Hulao and pacified Hebei. Ouyang Xun once again escaped death. Later, because he had a close relationship with Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan during the Sui Dynasty, he was awarded the position of Shizhong.
Ouyang Xun assisted the four masters throughout his life, which is also the origin of the "house slaves with four surnames" in Fang Jun's mouth. Now Fang Jun talks about what Emperor Sui Yang is like, Yu Wenhua is like that, and Dou Jiande is like that. Isn't he still turning a corner?
His son's ridicule made him weak and unfaithful to the Lord?
Ouyang Xun was so angry that he wanted to scold Fang Jun regardless of his identity, but he heard His Majesty Li Er next to him angrily scolded: "How dare you! How dare you, a mere brat, insult your senior like this?"
When Haosheng warns Xuanling, order him to teach you Haosheng so that you will not go astray!"
After hearing this, Ouyang Xun's anger suddenly disappeared...
Your Majesty, why is this happening?
This stick is already the Minister of War. Li Ji is in charge of the Ministry of War when he is not in the court. He is like a big boss. Why do you ask Fang Xuanling to teach him not to be a bad imitator... He is no longer a 10-8-year-old boy.
!
Ouyang Xun's heart was filled with chills, thinking that His Majesty was good at everything, but the stinky problem of this calf-guard was just a slight flaw on white jade...
This stick has scolded me like this, even if you just give him a slap to vent my anger!
But he couldn't even bear to give a slap in the face...
What else could Ouyang Xun say?
Besides, it’s all tears...
"Your Majesty, I feel unwell, so I will temporarily retire today."
Ouyang Xun looked defeated, cupped his fists and saluted.
He is very self-aware. Although he is known as the master of calligraphy in the world and has been praised and awarded by His Majesty, how can he compare with Fang Jun, whom Your Majesty relies on as his confidant?
In terms of closeness, I am not as good as Fang Jun, and in terms of merit, I am even worse than Fang Jun. In the final analysis, Fang Jun is His Majesty's humerus, and I am at best a plaything that can write... And Fang Jun's handwriting is not bad either...
Ouyang Xun can experience several heroes and get the best of both worlds, so he is certainly not a fool.
After seeing the true nature, if you continue to pester, you will be a fool...
His Majesty Li Er also knew that Ouyang Xun was half-dead with anger, but did he punish Yu Fang Jun heavily for this?
Of course it's impossible.
In the final analysis, Ouyang Xun is just an "entertainer"...
But of course there was no good look on his face. Even after Ouyang Xun walked out of the door, he kicked Fang Jun hard. Then he turned back to the desk and sat down. He glared at Fang Jun, who was grinning, and cursed: "This
I don’t know who he looks like with his sharp teeth and sharp mouth. I will ask Xuan Ling someday if you are his kind. How can you have Xuan Ling’s demeanor at all?”
Fang Jun rubbed his legs and said with a smile: "There is no need for your Majesty to ask about this. When Wei Chen returns home in the evening, he will ask his mother and tell her that your Majesty suspects that Wei Chen is not our father's son..."
His Majesty Li Er suddenly changed his color and said angrily: "How dare you?!"
Fang Jun was immediately overjoyed. His Majesty Li Er's lustful appearance was so obvious...
His Majesty Li Er was really shocked!
If this Bangchui really went home to ask, he could almost guess Mrs. Fang's reaction... He couldn't control how angry he was at home, but what if he blocked the door of the palace early tomorrow morning and cursed him, the emperor, for arranging the rights and wrongs of his ministers...
…
Just thinking about being blocked by Mrs. Fang at the entrance of the palace and yelling at her... The hair on His Majesty Li Er's back stood up!
This is definitely not unfounded by His Majesty Li Er. Based on his understanding of the jealous man, he can really do it!
"Ahem, let's talk about this foundry bureau. It's enough to have an ordnance supervisor responsible for manufacturing weapons and armor. Isn't it unnecessary for you to set up a new yamen with such extravagance?"
His Majesty Li Er changed the subject.
Fang Jun smiled secretly in his heart and praised: I am so powerful!
The fact that His Majesty Li Er, who had a strong temperament, could avoid him was enough to show that the shock that the jealousy brought to the emperor was too strong...
Although he was secretly happy in his heart, Fang Jun did not dare to laugh at His Majesty Li Er in person, so he replied: "Heaven is superior and earth is inferior, and the world is determined. The humble and high are the same, and the noble and the humble are in the same position. Movement and stillness are constant, and hardness and softness are broken."
Kinds are gathered together, things are divided into groups, and good and bad things arise. All things in the world have their own belongings. The imperial court has six ministries to govern the world. The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of promotion, assessment, rewards and punishments of officials, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the inheritance of etiquette of offering sacrifices to heaven and informing ancestors, and the Ministry of Households is in charge of
The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the imperial code of punishments and prisons in the world, and the Ministry of Works is in charge of farmland, water conservancy, repair and construction... But may I ask Your Majesty, what is the Ministry of War in charge of?"
His Majesty Li Er said casually: "The Ministry of War is naturally in charge of the world's military affairs..."
As soon as he said it, he was suddenly stunned.
As the name suggests, the Ministry of War is naturally in charge of the military affairs of the world. However, in fact, the Ministry of War cannot even mobilize a single soldier. The army is the foundation of the empire. Since ancient times, military power must be firmly controlled by the king. If the king
If you fail to master the military, the only outcome will be the destruction of your country and your family. How can you do it by false hands?
However, in fact, the Tang Dynasty had hundreds of thousands of troops, including the Sixteenth Guards and border troops from all over the country, but only a handful of them could truly be absolutely loyal to the emperor...
Fang Jun didn't bother His Majesty Li Er to "grant him a seat". Instead, he found a chair and sat opposite His Majesty Li Er's writing desk. He continued: "Your Majesty must have also discovered that the other five ministries are in charge of their own affairs. Only the Ministry of War
But he has no involvement in military affairs... This is against the laws of heaven and is wrong. Where does the military power of the Tang Dynasty belong now? In name, His Majesty controls the entire army, but in fact it is all in the hands of the ministers and assistants of the Political Hall!"
His Majesty Li Er remained silent.
He naturally knows this situation...but even if he knows, what can he do?
His world was conquered with the help of the aristocratic families. Naturally, he will reward those who have contributed greatly when he takes the throne. If he rushes to acquire military power as soon as he takes the throne, it will be embarrassing. Who can say for sure whether those generals who come from the aristocratic families will be good?
I will simply elect another emperor...
This is also the original intention of His Majesty Li Er who insists on suppressing and weakening the aristocratic families. These guys are great when they help you, but once their selfish desires change their stance, it will bring disaster to His Majesty Li Er!
However, military power is the foundation of the Guanlong Group. The emperor is afraid that they will rise and destroy the establishment if they have military power in their hands. Why are they not afraid that the emperor will use military power to "die the cunning rabbit and cook the lackeys"? Military power is their lifeblood.
No one is allowed to get involved!
Including the emperor!
Therefore, even if His Majesty Li Er is afraid of the Guanlong Group, he does not dare to take back military power rashly.
Once the operation is careless, the violent rebound caused by it is very likely to destroy the good situation accumulated over the past ten years since Zhenguan...
His Majesty Li Er frowned in confusion: "But what does military power have to do with your Foundry Bureau?"
"It's a big deal!"
Fang Jun leaned forward, almost leaning over the desk, and said word by word: "Weichen, the foundry, will become the source of the empire's weapons reform, from new methods of metallurgy and steelmaking to weapons and armor.
Improvements, and even the creation of new arms... Your Majesty, please believe me, a new era is coming, and the Tang Dynasty will lead all countries in the world for hundreds of years, and develop a grand hegemony that will last forever!"
The separation of military and political affairs, the return of military power to the central government, the improvement of firearms, the emphasis on industry and commerce... coupled with the full investment in planting technology, irrigation and water conservancy, and the gradual development of natural sciences, Fang Jun believes that as long as the construction of all these structures is completed, the Tang Dynasty will span several decades.
A hundred years of time have laid an indestructible foundation in one fell swoop!
The prosperous and splendid Tang Dynasty will come early and will last for a long time!
His Majesty Li Er stared at Fang Jun, who had bright eyes in front of him. He was so bewitched by his words that his heart surged. A stream of blood almost rushed to his brain, and unstoppable lofty ambitions surged from the bottom of his heart!
Then... His Majesty Li Er picked up a thick book on the desk and hit Fang Jun heavily on the forehead...
"boom!"
"Ouch...Why did your Majesty hit me?" Fang Jun looked aggrieved and puzzled.
His Majesty Li Er stared angrily: "Get the hell out of here! You can just use these nonsense to fool those officials. Do you really think I can't see your tricks? In the final analysis, you are just trying to gain power for the Ministry of War! I want to
The foundry bureau manufactures firearms to attract various armies to compete for equipment, so that all armies rush for these magical weapons, and have to obey the orders of the Ministry of War. From then on, the goal of consolidating military power is achieved... Hum, I have already seen through everything about you.
!”
Fang Jun covered his forehead and opened his mouth, unable to speak.
Emotion's grand blueprint, which is no less than "drawing a circle on the South China Sea", is actually regarded by His Majesty Li Er as a simple way to seize power...
