Yinshan Mountain is a barrier in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty. It divides Monan and Daqi into two parts. The terrain is steep and is the key to the north. If you break through Yinshan Mountain and invade Monan, you can go south along Shuozhou to reach Yanmen Pass. If you add Yanmen Pass, you will reach the hinterland of Hedong and a vast plain.
Or they can cross the Yellow River from Shengzhou and go all the way south, approaching the capital.
The six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty are all located near Yinshan Mountain and are arranged along the mountain from east to west. As the birthplace of the Guanlong nobles, they have always had a strong influence on these places.
Now that Monan is handed over to the Guanlong nobles, tens of thousands of troops will be infiltrated and recruited sooner or later. Once the situation changes, these troops will all move south with the support of the Guanlong nobles...
Normally, there might not be anything to worry about. The army of the Sixteenth Guards taught these frontier soldiers how to behave in every minute.
However, if the situation is critical at certain times... it will lead to a catastrophe.
Fang Jun glanced at His Majesty Li Er. Although this talented and sage emperor had a solemn look on his face, he did not have too many worries.
The safety of the capital is the top priority for any emperor. How can he be an emperor if he can't sleep well? Since His Majesty Li Er dares to hand Monan into the hands of the Guanlong nobles, he might have other plans.
I guess, or I was prepared for it.
No matter what the situation is, it must be a decision made after careful consideration.
It's just that the emperor is also a mortal, with joy, anger, sorrow, and seven emotions. On the one hand, he may have meticulous arrangements, but on the other hand, he hopes that these arrangements will be useless in the end...
Fang Jun pondered for a long time and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
His Majesty Li Er took a long breath and said: "Perhaps I am just worrying too much...but the martial arts hall is a top priority and is related to the reform of the Tang military system. You must calm down and not slack off.
.Haha, just think about the fact that all the military attaches above the rank of colonel in the million-strong army of the Tang Dynasty were taught by famous generals such as Wei Gong, Ying Gong and Hejian County Prince. They have all read "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Sun Bin's Art of War".
, "Wu Zi", "Six Tao", "Wei Liao Zi", "Sima Fa", "Six Army Mirror" and other unparalleled military books... It is difficult to suppress the excitement in someone's heart! No one in the world can defeat such a powerful army.
, why worry about the unrest on the border?"
This talented and strategic emperor is so high-spirited that all decadence has been swept away, and he is full of energy and looking forward to the heroes!
At this time, Fang Jun could only transform into "Peng Ke" and said quickly: "Your Majesty is so wise and powerful that the candle shines thousands of miles away! Since ancient times, soldiers have been called reckless men who do not read poetry and books, are not literate in writing, and most of them can't even name their own names."
I can’t write! Now that the ‘Martial Arts Hall’ is about to start teaching, military attachés above lieutenant colonel will be forced to teach literacy and reading. This will not only enable these military attachés to learn better and integrate military knowledge, but also greatly improve soldiers.
With their social status, soldiers will no longer suffer discrimination. The prosperity of the empire certainly requires civil servants to be honest, self-responsible and diligent in government affairs, and it also requires soldiers to expand territory and guard the borders. Only by developing both civil and military forces and taking into account both internal and external considerations can the Tang Dynasty flourish.
, will last forever, and the prosperous era of Zhenguan created by Your Majesty will last for thousands of years and never end!"
"Uh hahaha..."
His Majesty Li Er laughed heartily and looked very happy.
After laughing for a while, he waved his hand and said: "You go out to Mobei for a fierce battle. Of course you have gained some military exploits, but the most important thing is that your flattery skills have not only not declined, but have become more and more advanced. It's really shameless."
!Okay, don’t waste time in the palace. Other courtiers want to say a few nice words in front of someone to please him, but you don’t need to do that. Go and do the things assigned by someone quickly, rather than talking about it.
A hundred sickening words of flattery would make someone happier."
Fang Jun cursed in his heart.
You said you were disgusted, but your expression was extremely cheerful... The duplicity is so obvious, isn't it a bit too much?
"I obey the order!"
Fang Jun is a principled official, but this does not mean that he has to be "tough" in front of the emperor. Like Wei Zheng, he only knows how to give advice and never compromise. When to be evasive and when to be tough, Fang Jun Jun is very clear in his heart and knows how to handle it very skillfully.
A mature official must not only demonstrate his ability and value in front of his superiors, but also know how to maintain a personal relationship with his superiors.
The phrase "public or private" is actually no different from "hard work can make you rich". They are both the biggest lies in history. Life will tell you that whoever believes it will be unlucky...
Fang Jun stood up, took three steps back, then turned and walked towards the door.
His Majesty Li Er picked up the tea cup, remembered something, and said: "Go to the Taishi Bureau to find Li Chunfeng and ask him to choose an auspicious day for you, and prepare to marry the Silla princess back to the palace."
Fang Jun paused, and he almost forgot about it...
After thinking for a while, he stopped, turned around, and bowed his arms to the ground: "I don't dare to compare myself to sages, but the wives and concubines in the house are harmonious and happy, and my wishes are fulfilled, so it is really difficult to take another concubine. Besides, the Silla princess has a noble status. I am in my 28th year and now living in Chang'an. If I am wronged and marry a minor official as my concubine, I am afraid that not only rumors will spread among the city, but also the surrounding neighboring countries will be panicked. I ask Your Majesty to take back your order."
He really didn't want to take a concubine into his house.
Women are indeed a rare thing, but it's not enough to go overboard. Go out and do it with whomever you like, and it will make the birds in the house jealous, and eventually the house will be filled with chaos, which is what a wise man will not do.
His Majesty Li Er frowned: "What does Gao Yang mean?"
Fang Jun hurriedly said: "No, His Highness Gaoyang is dignified, virtuous, gentle and generous, how can he use this to vent his anger on a minor minister? It's just that the minor minister thinks that he lacks merit and has little knowledge. He should be more diligent in the government affairs entrusted by His Majesty. How can he do it? Immersed in the love of children, the tenderness of pink? Therefore, I dare not accept orders."
These words surprised His Majesty Li Er. When had this stick been so humble?
In particular, praising Gao Yang as "dignified, virtuous, gentle and generous" is such nonsense. I don't know what my own daughter's character is like.
However, it was the first time that the arrogant Bangchui was so humble and low-key, which really helped him, and his smile softened a bit, saying: "If others think that they have no merit and have little knowledge, it must be self-effacing words. You are like this However, I only think that I am proud of my achievements. Haha, there is no need to belittle oneself. Looking at the court, how can a young and promising person like you be better? Just the merits of sealing the wolf as a subordinate and restraining Shi Yanran this time are enough. It is worthy of any reward. You can afford to have any girl from any family in the empire be your concubine! Needless to say nonsense, I will tell the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple about this matter and go to discuss it with Fang Qing. Just leave it alone. Now, just wait and be the groom with peace of mind."
Fang Jun secretly cursed: It sounds better to say it than to sing it, and "I can bear any girl being my concubine." So you just say it, if you really mean it, if you have the ability, marry Changle to me. Concubine? Let’s kowtow to thank you, shout long live three times, and refuse even if the knife in the sky rains down on you...
I despised His Majesty Li Er in my heart, so I had no choice but to leave.
He really doesn't want to take a concubine, and he has no intention of coveting Jin Shengman's beauty. With his current status, what kind of beauty can't he find? It's just that when he reaches the realm, he no longer has that thought. It's not that he doesn't like beauties.
This is the nature of a man. As long as he still has that function, he will always work tirelessly, but he just doesn't want to cause trouble.
*****
When I returned to the mansion, I asked my servant where my father was and found out that he was in the study, so I walked over.
In the study room, Fang Xuanling was standing in front of the desk, leaning over and rummaging through a pile of old bamboo slips scattered on the desk, looking for something.
Fang Jun stepped forward to greet him and said, "Father, what are you looking for?"
Fang Xuanling straightened up, held her waist with one hand and rubbed it a few times, rubbed her eyes with the other hand, and sighed: "Some time ago, an internal historian found a few bamboo slips from the Han Dynasty among the broken slips in Shiqu Pavilion.
It is suspected that they are fragments of "Shuowen Jiezi" compiled by Xu Shuzhong. Everyone knows that he compiled the "Dictionary" for his father, so he sent it here specially. However, these bamboo slips are very old and have been through wars, so they are already dilapidated and difficult to identify.
difficulty."
"Shuzhong" is the character of Xu Shen, a great scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Fang Jun was very curious. This was a long-lost masterpiece. He leaned over to check it for a moment, then shook his head.
The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, using seal script at first, and later gradually changed to official script. Although Xu Shen lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when official script had gradually become popular, the two fonts went hand in hand, and he was even better at seal script, imitating the font of Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty.
Won praises from the world.
Fang Jun can also recognize a few seal scripts, but these slips are in a state of dilapidation and the handwriting is extremely blurry. After reading it for a while, he felt dizzy...
