Fang Jun was almost frightened to death when he heard that these students were going to Chengtianmen to knock on the gate!
However, he still had to put on an impassioned expression on his face and said loudly: "I understand your hatred of evil, and I admire you for your righteous mind! However, now that the Mingjun is in power, even if there are some scofflaws who are corrupt and cheating,
How can we avoid His Majesty's sage who has penetrated thousands of miles away? Please be patient and wait until I enter the palace to discuss things with Your Majesty. Your Majesty will make your own decision. You are all the future pillars of the Tang Dynasty, and your current mission is
It’s a good time to study. The current struggle against those shameless officials can be fought by me! Remember, the future of the empire is yours..."
These young students were deeply moved by these words...
This is a loyal minister!
This is a famous official!
For the sake of our future, we have worked hard to protect our future. We would rather fight the evil forces alone than involve students like them who have no foundation... This is what loyal ministers and famous officials in ancient times are like, right?
What else is there to say?
If he insists on going to Chengtianmen to kowtow, he will inevitably be involved in the incident of [Shaofu Jian and the Dog], which will ruin all the good intentions of Fang Jun!
Lou Shide was so moved that his eyes were red, and his green face was full of admiration and excitement. He stood upright, bowed his hands to the ground, and said loudly and respectfully: "Fang Erlang is so strong!"
The other students also felt Fang Jun's "noble personality charm". They felt that although this man was not very old and his reputation was not very good, he was really a famous official with a bright mind and a bright mind.
Upright and upright!
"Fang Erlang is so strong!"
"Fang Erlang worked hard and achieved great results, and he is a role model for us!"
…
Fang Jun nodded repeatedly, with tears in his eyes. He stepped forward and took Lou Shide's hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, be polite! This is what I should do!"
Mother!
I'm so good at pretending, I have to finish it with tears in my eyes...
*****
After finally coaxing these students to disperse, Fang Jun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and headed to Tai Chi Palace.
Young people are passionate and full of righteousness, which is the cornerstone of the nation and the hope of a country. But sometimes once this passion is not well guided and channeled, the consequences it can have are really terrible...
Fang Jun followed the eunuch into the Tai Chi Palace and headed to the Dragon Palace as usual.
The eunuch took Fang Jun to a side hall not far from the main hall. He first went inside to report, and later came back and bowed to signal Fang Jun to enter...
This side hall looks like a study room. The walls of the room are lined with neat and tall bookcases. Rare stocks, classics and historical records are piled up. A furnace of sandalwood is burning beside the large bookcase. The green smoke is curling up at this moment, and the fragrance is quiet and refreshing.
Peace of mind.
His Majesty Li Er was sitting behind the desk, wearing a crimson gown and a purple gold crown on his head. His square face showed no emotion or anger, but there was an aura of majesty...
Apart from that, there is no one else.
Fang Jun took two steps forward and saluted: "I have an audience with Your Majesty."
His Majesty Li Er didn't even look at him, and asked in a deep voice: "Qiu Shenji was assassinated at Xijin Ferry, but what did you do?"
Fang Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look of surprise on his face, and immediately said: "Wei Chen doesn't know about this."
"Don't know? Haha..."
His Majesty Li Er sneered, picked up the secret folder on the desk and threw it at Fang Jun's feet, and said sternly: "Then you can explain to me why the Royal Navy's fleet transporting rice from Linyi Kingdom just passed by Yangzhou along the coast.
Going north from Hangou, Qiu Shenji was assassinated at Xijin Ferry, and not even a body could be found?"
Fang Jun bent down to pick up the secret fold, looked at it ten lines at a time, and said doubtfully: "Please forgive me for being stupid, but what does the death of Qiu Shenji have to do with the Royal Navy? Even if it does, what does it have to do with Wei Chen?"
I have been diligent in government affairs recently. Let alone Yangzhou, I have not even taken a step out of the gate of Chang'an City..."
"You still dare to quibble?"
His Majesty Li Er was a little annoyed. He patted the table and said: "Everyone in the Royal Navy is your confidant, and they passed through Xijin on the night when Qiu Shenji died. Do you think you said it doesn't matter and I believe you?"
Fang Jun blinked, spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Although the Royal Navy was originally founded by Wei Chen, it is a group of official positions that you personally decreed. Just look at the name 'Royal Navy'
Then I know that they are your majesty’s minions, so if it is said that the navy was involved in Qiu Shenji’s death just by passing through Xijin Ferry, I’m afraid your majesty’s suspicion will be much greater than that of Wei Chen…”
"...!"
His Majesty Li Er's eyes suddenly widened and he almost pouted in anger!
Mother, you just refuse to plead guilty, but you can still get involved in me?
"Fart! How can I, the majestic Nine-Fifth Supreme Being and the king of a country, use such dirty and dirty means to murder my ministers? If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will chop off your head?"
His Majesty Li Er was so angry that he cursed loudly!
This little bastard, can you say such nonsense?
Fang Jun said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you can't kill Qiu Shenji... Then why do you think that Wei Chen can do such a stupid thing? Although Wei Chen has some conflicts with Qiu Shenji, there has been a feud since Qiu Shenji was sent to the army by His Majesty.
Now that the hatred has been settled, we can't chase down and kill anyone who has a problem with a minor minister, right?"
His Majesty Li Er snorted and stared at Fang Jun's face with sharp eyes, trying to see if this boy was lying.
Naturally, he was just guessing. He had just received a secret message from the Yangzhou governor, and his first reaction was that Fang Jun killed someone to vent his anger... Although there was no evidence, there might be something to be gained by cheating? But now looking at Fang Jun's calm expression, he
I knew I was dead wrong.
Even if Qiu Shenji was really killed by Fang Jun, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to tell anything from his face.
This Bangchui has a calm mind and is not like a weakling at all. I am afraid that he is no less generous than those insidious old foxes in the court...
His Majesty Li Er was a little depressed.
The death of Qiu Shenji will bring unpredictable changes to the situation between North Korea and China.
Because of Qiu Xinggong's betrayal, Gao Shilian had to endure the humiliation and become an official because of his humiliation. He must have hated Qiu Xinggong and wanted to kill him;
Changsun Wuji's alienation plan left Qiu Xinggong unable to advance or retreat, and finally Qiu Shenji was sent to the army and sent to the army;
Although Fang Jun and Qiu Shenji had no old grudges, they almost beat Qiu Shenji to disability several times, and the hatred between the two sides was almost irresolvable...
Whether he killed to vent his anger, framed someone as the blame, or even eliminated the root cause, no matter who he was, he had the motive to kill Qiu Shenji.
The chain reactions of all parties involved are completely uncontrollable, especially the intricate connections and positions behind the various forces. Just thinking about it gives His Majesty Li Er a splitting headache.
Relatively speaking, he would rather Qiu Shenji's murderer is Fang Jun, because if this is the case, it will just be Fang Jun's act of eradicating the roots, and the changes involved will be much less...
His Majesty Li Er rubbed his temples. Without direct evidence, Fang Jun would never admit his fault. This matter would spread throughout Chang'an soon, and a storm would soon arise in the court. This made Li Er
Your Majesty is very upset.
What he was thinking about now was the grand plan of conquering Goguryeo and becoming an emperor for eternity, but he never thought that at this critical moment, something like this would always happen to thwart his grand plan.
Is it just a matter of time and again, or is it a warning from heaven that nothing can be done?
However, His Majesty Li Er is a leader of a generation with great talent and great strategy. He quickly put aside his negative emotions and asked instead: "I heard that you made a lot of nonsense in the Foundry Bureau, saying that you would invest 40 million yuan?"
"...It is true."
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment and thought, your thinking is too fast. How did you jump from the death of Qiu Shenji to the Foundry Bureau?
Wei Chen can't keep up at all...
His Majesty Li Er frowned and said: "You also said that you want 20 million guans from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and your Ministry of War will handle the 20 million guans on your own... Is there such a thing?"
Fang Jun said honestly: "Your Majesty, the candle shines thousands of miles away, and you can see everything clearly."
Ignoring Fang Jun's flattering words, His Majesty Li Er said curiously: "I'm surprised, the 20 million yuan from the Ministry of Revenue is nothing, but why can you let the Ministry of War also give 20 million yuan?"
Come on? Does the Ministry of War have a private treasury, or is it planning to take out the armor and weapons and resell them?"
As an emperor, he naturally knows the importance of "separation of military and political affairs", and Fang Jun's "Ministry of War Concept" won the emperor's heart, and His Majesty Li Er strongly agreed with it.
The army should be managed by soldiers, and they should have a hand in everything in the political hall, resulting in the prime minister having too much power. This is something that His Majesty Li Er has always avoided.
This casting bureau is the top priority for the Ministry of War to improve its status. His Majesty Li Er understands and provides support. Even if the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot come up with 20 million yuan, His Majesty Li Er will still get rich from internal funds.
To make up for the shortfall, the Ministry of War spent 20 million yuan... Do you really think that he, the emperor, doesn't know what kind of poor government the Ministry of War is?
He stared at Fang Jun with a suspicious look on his face. He always felt that since the Ministry of War couldn't come up with the money at all, this guy still dared to speak so brazenly. Could it be that he was using his own money to end up with himself, the emperor, pocketing the money?
Mother!
This emperor of ours has been poor for more than ten years. He is unwilling to give up food or clothing, and he shows his hardship and simplicity to the world. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built dozens of dragon boats and went to Jiangdu along the canal to visit Jiangdu. He even had a small sampan.
I can't bear to make it...
As a result, I have finally managed to save a little money in the past two years. I plan to enjoy the luxurious life of an emperor, but I still have to be worried about you?
Fang Jun raised his head to look at His Majesty Li Er, and saw that the emperor had a bad look on his face, with a fierce look in his eyes, just like the expression of an old hen protecting her young when she saw a weasel wandering around the henhouse and wanted to attack its young.
The ruthlessness——
If you dare to stretch out your claws, I will kill you!
Fang Jun's eyes twitched and he was extremely speechless.
You are the emperor. Haven't you been talking nonsense all day long about "Under the sky, it's the king's land; on the shore of the land, it's the king's ministers." Why are you dividing the money between you and me right now?
