Dugu Lan's white beard trembled wildly, and he glared at Fang Jun and said: "You are arrogant! The Dugu family is just a branch of Guanlong. How could you ever have any intention of establishing a separate family? And these methods of sowing discord should be put away as soon as possible. If others listen to it,
, so as not to laugh out loud!”
He cursed harshly on his lips, but his heart was trembling with shock.
This kid is really smart. He just showed the slightest hint of inclination and was caught by him...
With a smile on his face, Fang Jun refused to answer Dugu Lan's words and asked instead: "Then according to the wishes of the old prince, how should this matter be handled?"
Dugu Lan said: "This is because your military department was unreasonable. You retreated quickly. I pretended that nothing happened. As for Cui Shilang, although he suffered a little injustice, he was only tied up after getting in the car. No outsiders saw it.
, have you ever lost the face of the Ministry of War? Let’s just let it go without any punishment.”
He did not want this matter to become a big deal. Once it was out of his control, the Guanlong nobles would definitely get involved, which was inconsistent with his original intention of trying to draw a clear line between him and the Guanlong nobles.
As a member of the Guanlong nobles and those with vested interests, it is not easy to draw a clear line. You must not show too much urgency, otherwise the backlash of the Guanlong nobles will be enough to cause the Dugu family's demise.
But Fang Jun dared to confront Weiwei Temple in a big way to snatch people. Dugu Lan didn't believe that it was really just a temper tantrum. Without His Majesty Li Er's acquiescence or even approval behind this, he wouldn't have believed it even if he was beaten to death.
The Dugu family has been working hard to get rid of the Guanlong Group these years. If they join forces with the Guanlong nobles to fight against the Ministry of War, everything they have done before will be in vain...
Fang Jun didn't understand the reason why Dugu Lan did this, but judging from his eagerness to draw a clear line with the Guanlong nobles, it didn't seem like he was being hypocritical, and there was no need to do so.
After thinking about it, he said: "The academy will start school in two days, and there are still a few vacancies in the martial arts hall. I wonder if the old prince is interested?"
Dugu Lan's eyes lit up.
Nowadays, "Zhenguan Academy" has not yet opened its doors, but it seems to be the number one academic institution in the Tang Dynasty. I don't know how many people want to send their children to the academy. They are eager to get the places in the academy. How can there be any vacancies?
Listening to this meaning, it is obvious that you can go through the "back door"...
Drawing a clear line with the Guanlong nobles, or even breaking away from this once unparalleled behemoth, means that they can no longer enjoy the benefits from this group, including career resources. Without the resources from the group, their own children will no longer be able to enjoy the benefits.
If you are promoted to a higher position, you can only cultivate your own abilities and operate your official position yourself.
And if you can enter the academy, it will be equivalent to strengthening your network and becoming a disciple of the emperor.
How could Dugu Lan not be overjoyed?
You must know that until now, there are hundreds of students in the academy, and there are not even ten places left for the Guanlong nobles...
Especially the quota of students in the martial arts hall, which is something that cannot be exchanged for real money!
Dugu Lan was very excited and said, "Thank you so much Erlang, haha, I accept this favor!"
Fang Jun quickly raised his hand and said: "Don't thank me, I can't afford it and I don't dare to accept it. The number of students in the academy must be reviewed by His Majesty. I can submit the names of the children of the Dugu family, but in the end, whether they can successfully enroll in the school or not
, it is up to His Majesty to be decisive."
I have no say in this matter, you have to ask His Majesty Li Er...
Dugu Lan's snow-white eyebrows furrowed and he glared at Fang Jun displeased.
He really wanted to gradually get away from the Guanlong nobles, because he felt that this big ship was leaking everywhere now, and the behemoth could not turn around, so he could only keep moving forward and it would hit the rocks sooner or later. He did not want the Dugu family to sink to the bottom of the water in this broken ship.
Eternal disaster.
But after all, as a member of the Guanlong nobles, you can plan anything secretly, but if you directly ignore your allies and turn to the emperor to beg for mercy, what will the Guanlong nobles think?
These guys are all arrogant and arrogant. Once they join forces to punish the Dugu family, it will not only be as simple as total disaster...
Seeing his hesitation, Fang Jun struck a chord while the iron was hot: "To be honest, what happened today was actually approved by His Majesty. Otherwise, how could this junior dare to rob people from Weiwei Temple and ignore the laws of the court? The old prince is a first-class person.
Smart people will either abandon the Guanlong nobles and obey His Majesty's orders with all their strength, or they will be reluctant to give up their immediate interests and fight against His Majesty..."
Dugu Lan was silent for a moment, he understood what Fang Jun meant, but this decision was really difficult to make.
Fang Jun said: "Since the old prince is still entangled, I might as well lend a helping hand to the old prince."
Dugu Lan was shocked: "What do you want?"
Fang Jun comforted him and said, "Old Lord, please be patient."
After saying that, he looked at the confused Cui Dunli in the carriage and said: "Immediately take Chang Sun Guang back to the military prison and keep him under strict guard. The interrogation will begin early tomorrow morning. If anyone obstructs him, no matter who he is, he will be punished as an accomplice."
Take it!"
Cui Dunli was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Here!"
Open the curtain and jump out of the carriage.
He strode to the officials of the Ministry of War and said loudly: "Escort Chang Sun Guang to the prison of the Ministry of War quickly!"
The officials of the Ministry of War knew that this was Fang Jun's order, and immediately stepped forward to try to snatch Changsun Guang and others away from Weiwei Temple. The officials of Weiwei Temple naturally refused to do it. If the prisoners they obtained were snatched away by the Ministry of War again, it would be a shame.
Having lost everything, there was a stalemate immediately.
Cui Dunli was simmering with anger in his heart. Seeing this, he directly ordered the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army: "Young Master Fang has an order. Anyone who prevents the Ministry of War from apprehending Sun Guang is an accomplice. He will be taken to the jail of the Ministry of War and will be interrogated together later."
When the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army heard this, they immediately geared up and surrounded the Weiwei Temple officials with a roar, staring eagerly.
Everyone in Weiwei Temple was stunned. They hurriedly looked towards the carriage, only to find that Dugu Lan was sitting in the carriage and did not show his face at all...
Although Weiwei Temple has the power of military trial, the Anxi Army is controlled by the Ministry of War, and he is the immediate superior of the Anxi Army. Moreover, Fang Jun has great prestige, and his orders are as high as mountains. The officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army pounce on them like wolves and tigers, and Weiwei is
The temple officials pulled him aside and snatched Changsun Guang back.
Cui Dunli waved his hand: "Enter the city immediately!"
Immediately ignoring the dumbfounded Weiwei Temple officials who were standing there, he led his headquarters officials and the Anxi Army to march toward Chang'an City with a group of prisoners.
One of Dugu Lan's confidants trotted to the car and did not dare to get in. He could only stand under the car and asked: "Old Lord, the prisoner was snatched away by the Ministry of War. Do we want to snatch it back?"
Before he finished speaking, the car curtain opened, and a teacup flew out of the car, hitting his forehead and shattering with a "pop".
"Ouch--" The official covered his forehead, howled miserably, and squatted down.
Fang Jun's scolding voice came: "Mother! I have reached a consensus with the old county man, but you still dare to make noise. Could it be that you want to sow discord? You are not worthy of being beaten!"
Weiwei Temple officials dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
After all, he is also an official of the imperial court, and if he is beaten and scolded like this, who can not be angry?
However, no matter how angry I am, I can only endure it. Fang Erlang's reputation is not just touted. Who dares to talk back or even fight back? Maybe that guy will be able to deal with them from beginning to end if he gets mad.
, it was even more embarrassing then...
Moreover, Dugulan had been silent since he got into the car. Everyone was suspicious. Could it be that the old county prince was kidnapped and held hostage by Fang Jun?
In the carriage, Dugu Lan stroked his beard and looked at Fang Jun with complicated eyes.
He naturally understood that Fang Jun was so domineering, but he was actually reducing pressure on him and helping him attract the firepower of the Guanlong nobles. Even though His Majesty Li Er had been suppressing the Guanlong nobles, this move was to suit their interests and was politically correct.
However, the possible backlash from the Guanlong nobles would still cause Fang Jun to suffer heavy losses.
The emperor is the most powerful person, but he is not the real supreme person.
These thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are all the land of the emperor in name, and billions of people in the world are all ministers of the emperor. However, in reality, the emperor himself has many shackles and fetters. From ancient times to the present, no emperor has ever been able to make decisions as he pleases.
.
It doesn’t matter if you want to protect someone, you can really protect them.
However, today's Majesty Li Er is definitely a wise, powerful and strategist of the generation. Whether it is Jiangnan gentry or Guanlong nobles, as long as it goes against the national policy, he will be eradicated mercilessly. Even if he does not want to shake the world in order to stabilize the court,
But they must be suppressed firmly.
In an instant, Dugu Lan made a decision.
He leaned back slightly against the wall of the compartment, stretched his legs, and pointed to a hidden compartment on the compartment. Fang Jun didn't know why, so he opened the compartment, opened the drawer, and took out a small wine jar.
When you open the mud seal, a strong aroma of wine will hit your face.
Is this about sitting across from each other, having a drink, and having a long conversation?
