His Majesty Li Er turned around and glanced at Fang Xuanling with a deep look.
As his humerus minister and right-hand man, he not only has outstanding talents and wisdom, but is also extremely familiar with the emperor's personality and behavior, and has long understood his deep-seated intentions.
His Majesty Li Er did not comment, but simply said: "Tell me, why is it inappropriate?"
Fang Xuanling said: "His Royal Highness King Jing has great ambitions and talents but is not qualified for the position of Minister of Military and Aircraft. This is one of the reasons. The court promotes talented people and puts down the mediocre. It is fair and transparent to govern the Qingming. This is the second reason. King Jing
He is the most respected person in the royal family besides His Majesty. It is difficult to guarantee that someone with ulterior motives will take advantage of the opportunity to gain access to the camp. If King Jing gets his hands on the military power, the consequences will be unpredictable."
Even though he became an official, Fang Xuanling is still the person that His Majesty Li Er trusts the most. He not only trusts his loyalty, but also trusts his ability.
But this time, His Majesty Li Er did not adopt Fang Xuanling's opinion. He looked at the rolling mountains and greenery, sighed and said: "Ai Qing, do you still remember that night in the ninth year of Wude?"
?”
Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment and then fell silent.
That night of swords and swords, that night of rivers of blood, that night of brotherhood and brotherhood, that night of fighting with the same roommates... Even though many years have passed, Fang Xuanling can still feel the feeling of being forced into a desperate situation and having to fight back every time he thinks about it.
A blow of despair.
Even before that, no one thought they would be the ultimate victors.
Since then, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji... these people have become a generation of famous generals who assisted the Ming Dynasty in ascending the throne.
His wife Yinzi, but His Majesty Li Er fell into the whirlpool of "killing brothers and killing brothers".
Much criticized and criticized.
Fang Xuanling knew that this incident had been like a thorn in His Majesty Li Er's heart over the years. It hurt like hell when he touched it, but he couldn't pull it out.
In the ninth year of Wude, Prince Jiancheng felt threatened by the rising merits and fame of King Qin. Under the instigation of Qi Wang Yuanji and others, he intended to deceive King Qin into the palace, frame the fault, and eradicate the root cause. At the same time,
, the prince was also driven out of breath by the aggressive momentum of Prince Jiancheng and others. The situation at that time was that there was no way to retreat, either to fight back desperately and take another step, or to uproot the entire power of the Qin Palace. There is not much entanglement, not you.
When death is my death, I no longer care about brotherhood and family ties, so under the Xuanwu Sect, a melee suddenly broke out.
In fact, Prince Jiancheng and King Yuanji of Qi had already ambushed a large number of elite soldiers in the palace. As long as King Qin stepped into the palace, he would be attacked by thousands of swords and his head would be in different places.
However, just under the Xuanwu Gate, just a step away from the inner palace, Chang He, the guard of the Xuanwu Gate, completely surrendered to the King of Qin and closed the city gate, causing Prince Jiancheng to be separated from Qi King Yuanji and his subordinates. He failed to rescue him in time and was beheaded by the King of Qin.
Which one is right or wrong?
If we judge it purely from a moral level, it is difficult to say that winners and losers have always been like this. However, people will always sympathize with the weak involuntarily. In addition, some people who have lost their interests in normal struggles have ulterior motives to add fuel to the flames. In that case, there is no such thing.
What is right or wrong? A life-and-death battle has become a shame that His Majesty Li Er can never wash away.
Over the years, the reason why His Majesty Li Er has set such high demands on himself is at least because he is holding his breath and wants to use better achievements to prove to the world that he is a good emperor.
Killing brothers is a fait accompli and cannot be changed no matter what. You can only use this method to restore your reputation.
Now that His Majesty Li Er has brought up old matters again, he has pricked the scar, and Fang Xuanling understands what he means.
He wants to show the world that it is not me, Li Er, who is cold-blooded and cruel and does not care about brotherhood, but Li Jiancheng. If Li Yuanji doesn't give me a way to survive, I can only fight back. Now look at how good I am to my brothers.
, brothers and sisters are respectful and happy, King Jing is a mediocre person, but I still put him in high regard... So it was not my fault back then. I also wanted brotherly harmony, but they didn't give me this opportunity, what could I do?
Fang Xuanling had a headache and felt that there was nothing he could do to persuade her.
Everyone has moments of paranoia, because there is a corner in everyone's heart that cannot be touched. Anyone who touches this corner will suffer the most violent retaliation, regardless of whether he or she persists in his or her own way.
This is the case with His Majesty Li Er now.
The more you say that I am cruel and cold-blooded, the more I will try to prove what you are saying is wrong.
This is no longer an ordinary paranoia, but Fang Xuanling feels that she can still understand it...
Fang Xuanling was silent for a long time, and then felt that he still had to give some advice, so he said: "Your Majesty is extremely talented, and he has control over the world, the sun and the moon. However, things in the world are unpredictable, and it is inevitable that there will be hundreds of secrets and sparse. If the tail is not big enough, won't it be endless troubles?"
His Majesty Li Er thought for a while and said: "Fang Yiai once commented on King Jing: he is fierce and timid, he is always scheming, he cherishes his life when doing big things, and he forgets his life when he sees small gains. This comment can be said to be profound.
I think so."
Fang Xuanling had a headache and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that Quanzi has a perverse personality and loud words. You just listen to his words. How can you be so serious about it? Even Kunzhong of the Xu family who launched the 'Yuedan Commentary' did not dare to just rely on it.
Comments can seal the coffin of the heroes of the world, let alone a dog?"
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xu Shao and his elder brother Xu Jing liked to comment on contemporary figures. They often published comments on contemporary figures on the first day of each month to recommend talents for current affairs, so they were called Yuedan Comments. Both of them were great scholars in the world, and their reputations spread far and wide.
There are countless disciples who comment on the local party, praise and criticize current affairs, do not pretend to be beautiful, do not hide evil, do not slander, can distinguish between good and bad people, and can distinguish between good and evil, whether in government or in opposition, they are all included in the evaluation.
Therefore, the "Yuedan Commentary" has far-reaching influence. No matter who it is, once it is evaluated, its value will be doubled. It will be spread among the world and regarded as a good talk. Therefore, it will become famous far and wide and flourish for a while.
The most famous one is Xu Shao's comment on Cao Cao as "a capable minister in times of trouble, but a traitor in troubled times"...
His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "I and King Jing are brothers. Seeing him grow up, how can I not know his character? Fang Jun's comments may seem a bit hasty and disrespectful, but they are
When the whip is carved into the wood, I have a very profound and clear understanding of King Jing. No matter how powerful the power of such a person is, there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as I am around, he will not be able to come up with any tricks."
Fang Xuanling believed in this sentence without a doubt.
In terms of the ability to control the government, few emperors throughout the ages have been able to surpass His Majesty Li Er. There was no need for the high pressure of the Qin Emperor or the power of the Han Dynasty. All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were submissive and loyal.
Oh, except for that twitchy Hou Junji...
As long as His Majesty Li Er is in power, no one can make trouble.
But the question is, what if you are no longer here?
This question arose in Fang Xuanling's mind, but he pushed it back. After all, His Majesty Li Er is now in the prime of life and in the prime of life. It would be too disrespectful to say such a thing.
However, Fang Xuanling still did not agree with His Majesty Li Er's decision, so he remained silent to show his position.
Although His Majesty Li Er had already decided to promote King Jing to the throne and took this opportunity to re-appoint General Sixteenth Guards, the implications were too great and it was difficult to make a decision at the moment, so he came to seek Fang Xuanling's support.
Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling actually objected...
He always valued Fang Xuanling's opinions, so his firm decision-making was somewhat loosened, but at the same time he felt that Fang Xuanling was a bit unfounded and was making a fuss out of a molehill, making it increasingly difficult to make a decision.
It seems that it still needs some consideration.
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er let go of his worries, looked down at the undulating green waves on the mountainside, and asked with a smile: "The tall crops not far ahead are from overseas... corn, right?"
Fang Xuanling said: "Exactly."
His Majesty Li Er said: "Let's go and have a look nearby."
The monarch and his ministers walked hand in hand down the hillside and walked through the fields along the path. After a while, they came to the cornfield. His Majesty Li Er stood in front of the cornfield with his hands folded and asked: "Is this thing really capable of producing more than ten shi per hour?"
"
The sturdy plant grows tall and straight, with green leaves spreading out. There are several fruit spikes growing alternately halfway around the waist, and the light yellow whiskers are exposed.
Fang Xuanling stepped forward, caressed the corn stalks lovingly, and said slowly: "Being able to find this thing from overseas is probably the greatest achievement of my Fang family for generations! What about opening up territories, and what about running rampant in Mobei?
, it is just a fleeting smoke in the history. Only this thing can feed hundreds of millions of people and enable more people to be fed by it. This is the greatest merit!"
