Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, especially after His Majesty Li Er came to the throne, the division of internal and external dynasties has been extremely clear, and they will never be confused with each other. These prime ministers also recognize this division, and no matter how difficult it is for the imperial court, they will never want to go there.
The idea of using the emperor's internal funds - now if the Ministry of Civil Affairs has no money, it can go to the emperor's internal funds to ask for it. If tomorrow the emperor's internal funds run out of money, can he also ask for it from the Ministry of Civil Affairs?
This kind of precedent must not be set. The difficulties in the Ministry of Civil Affairs are only temporary. As long as the Eastern Expedition is over, regardless of victory or defeat, the situation will be greatly improved. After all, the entire Tang Dynasty now implements commercial tax, and the amount of annual tax is almost several times that of before.
Sufficient to cope with domestic infrastructure design and construction and the operation of national institutions.
Furthermore, although His Majesty Li Er has abundant internal funds, he does not spend them arbitrarily...
Yu Zhining on the side said: "Although His Majesty has built several palaces in the past two years, which are a bit extravagant, most of the money in the internal funds has been used for the 'Cultural Promotion Association', which has been used in all states and counties across the country.
The school, with its tens of thousands of teachers, requires a huge amount of money every day. Such an emperor is no less generous than the ancient sages. How can Duke Zhao seduce the world to covet him? What if he is mistaken for someone?
You are deliberately slandering the king, which is not good."
Changsun Wuji was immediately furious, his face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Gong Yan, please give me some advice, otherwise I don't know whether others will misunderstand me or not, but I will misunderstand whether you are slandering me!"
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhining didn't listen to him at all, and said unceremoniously: "Is there any misunderstanding? I just said that you are ambitious and cold-hearted."
The conflict between him and Changsun Wuji has been around for a long time.
Speaking of which, the Luoyang Yu family has always been on the same side as the Guanlong nobles and are extremely firm allies. However, the Guanlong nobles headed by Changsun Wuji originally wanted to depose the prince, and they immediately became enemies with the Luoyang Yu family. At that time, the Yu family
Zhining is the crown prince's concubine, assisting the crown prince. Once the crown prince is deposed, the entire Yu family in Luoyang will be in ruins.
Moreover, Yu Zhining has always looked down on the power-playing Changsun Wuji. He is an intellectual, aloof and self-respecting, and has always been upright and upright. How could someone as sinister and cunning as Changsun Wuji catch his eye?
Not to mention that Changsun Wuji's brazen intrusion into the house this time was even more despising to Yu Zhining.
How unbecoming is it for a dignified imperial tutor and a first-class prince to behave like a ruffian? What he said just now, both inside and outside, actually led others to feel dissatisfied with the emperor's internal wealth. This is human nature.
Is there anything I can do?
No matter how forbearing Changsun Wuji was, he could no longer sit still in the face of Zhining's unceremonious accusation and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense. If Duke Yan insists on doing this, don't blame me for impeaching you!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone at the door say: "That's just right. Your Majesty and Zhao Guogong will be a good companion."
Everyone looked in astonishment and saw Fang Jun walking in and standing in the hall to greet him: "Your Majesty, Fang Jun, I have met all the ministers and ministers."
Cen Wenwen waved his hand and said, "No need to be more polite. What's the important thing for Erlang to do here?"
Fang Jun once entered the political hall before. Although he was not the prime minister, he was still a high-ranking official. It seemed that he was only one step away from being promoted to prime minister. As a result, there were a lot of messy things. Even his title was downgraded. The left of the Ministry of War
The post of minister was even removed, and he has since withdrawn from the political affairs hall.
Now he has been promoted from Minister of War Zuo to Minister of War, but the power to participate in government affairs has not been obtained as expected...
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Of course there is something going on, otherwise how would you dare to disturb the prime ministers?"
With that said, he took out the memorial from his arms, stepped forward a few steps, and presented it to the desk of Shangshu Zuopushe Li Ji with both hands.
Li Ji picked it up casually and asked, "What is this?"
Fang Jun said: "Impeachment Memorial."
When everyone heard it, they were surprised!
The censors and officials from the censorship station have always gathered together to impeach Fang Jun, and every time they have done so with great momentum and breathtaking momentum, but today something has changed, it is actually Fang Jun who is impeaching someone else?
Li Ji smiled and joked: "Is there anyone in this court who can be worse than your Fang Erlang? I need to learn more about this."
In the past, certificates submitted to the emperor had to be reviewed by the secretary. Not everything could catch the emperor's eye. The emperor was so busy, where did he have the time to review them one by one?
However, since the rise of the Government Hall, this power has been transferred here. Today, the secretaries and supervisors are only left with the responsibilities of editing books and managing the royal library for the emperor.
While talking, Li Ji had already unfolded the memorial and read it carefully.
As a result, I just read a few sentences...hiss!
Isn’t this rhetoric too intense? This is not only the impeachment of Changsun Wuji, but also the case of Changsun Chong’s “assassination” written and acted by Changsun Wuji in order to blame Fang Jun. Therefore, we sincerely request the emperor to order the Three Justices
He fully intervened in the case, screened and interrogated everyone in the Changsun family, and even searched Zhao Guogong's mansion to find evidence of the crime.
Li Ji immediately saw the seriousness of it. If the emperor dismissed this memorial, it would mean that Fang Jun was the mastermind behind the assassination. If he agreed with this memorial, he would inevitably start a war against the Changsun family.
An unprecedented investigation...
Regardless of the outcome of the investigation, the blow to the reputation of the Changsun family will be fatal.
Others will not go into the details of the confrontation. They just know that the Changsun family is no longer trusted by His Majesty.
Li Ji glanced at Fang Jun. Is he planning to fight to the death? Either you die or I die?
After pondering for a while, he continued to read the following content. Without saying a word, he handed the memorial to Yu Zhining beside him and said: "Gong Yan, take a look."
Yu Zhining finally read it ten lines at a time, his beard curled up, and then handed the memorial to Cen Wenwen.
Cen Wenwen had a gloomy look on his face, reading word for word, and pressed the memorial on the desk with his backhand.
Changsun Wuji: "..."
Mother!
You two passed it around and read it, and then you didn’t let me read it?
What's the matter? You want to isolate me?
This is simply unreasonable!
Changsun Wuji's face was so gloomy that it looked like it could drip water, but Cen Wenwen held the memorial under his hand, and he couldn't step forward to snatch it away. He couldn't see the content of the memorial, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, otherwise he would easily be raped.
Jun and Yu Zhining seized the opportunity and slapped each other in the face like crazy.
These two people didn't care whether it was the eldest son's family or Zhao Guogong, they would never show mercy when it was time to fight, and eldest son Wuji also had a headache.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
But...what was actually written in that damn memorial?
Cen Wenwen pressed the memorial with his hand, looked at Fang Jun, and asked in a deep voice: "Erlang, have you ever thought about submitting this memorial to His Majesty?"
From the title, we can see Cen Wenwen’s attitude.
This memorial is not a child's play. Once it is submitted to the emperor's desk, the emperor will have to make a choice. This is not just a simple problem for the emperor, because the emperor's choice will make Fang Jun or Changsun Wuji face the tide.
The public opinion that has aroused is very likely to collapse.
He was purely acting as an elder to remind Fang Jun of the serious consequences of this matter. If he regretted it, he could return this memorial to Fang Jun at this moment and pretend that this matter never happened.
As for Changsun Wuji... Cen Wenwen believes that Changsun Wuji is absolutely unwilling to risk the entire family's reputation on this matter, and is willing to stop there.
What's more, you haven't seen the content of this memorial, so why are you dissatisfied?
As long as you haven't seen it with your own eyes or heard it through your ears, it can't be taken seriously...
When he said this, Changsun Wuji became more and more suspicious.
What exactly is written in this article that makes Cen Wenwen so cautious? But there is no need to know the content of the memorial. Cen Wenwen, an old thief, has always been at odds with me. Seeing him laughing and joking, he is actually the most insidious. As long as he agrees with it, then he must oppose it.
Already.
Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "This is the political hall, the center of the empire! Everything we say and do is meticulous, and every word is of great importance. Although the memorial submitted to your majesty needs our review, but
Fang Jun is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he has direct access to Heaven. His memorial was sent to the Zhengshi Hall first, which is a sign of respect for the Zhengshi Hall. But how can we block the way of speech and deceive the Heavenly Listener? No matter what Fang Jun said
Whatever the matter, it is better to submit it directly to His Majesty."
hehe……
Several ministers in the hall shook their heads and were speechless. Originally, Cen Wenwen had good intentions and did not want to make the matter bigger, but you, the client, were afraid that the world would not be in chaos... Since Fang Jun dared to write such a memorial, he must have considerable authority.
Be sure, if you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't even have a step to step down from the stage.
