Cui Dunli led officials from the Ministry of War and soldiers from the Anxi Army to escort Chang Sun Guang and others into Chang'an City. Officials from the Weiwei Temple stood in the drizzle and looked at the carriage that Dugu Lan was riding.
It was not until an hour later that the car curtains were lifted and Fang Jun got out of the car. All the officials of Weiwei Temple breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone is really afraid that this stick will go crazy and give Dugu Lan a beating no matter what...
"I have offended you today. If the old prince is dissatisfied, I will come to your door to ask for forgiveness someday. I will just let you be punished."
Fang Jun got on his horse, raised his fists towards the carriage, said some kind words, and then, surrounded by his troops, he galloped away with his whip raised.
A trusted official hurried to the front of the car, lifted the curtain and looked inside. He saw Dugu Lan sitting on his knees in the car with a wine glass in his hand. He asked in surprise: "Old Lord, that stick can't do anything to you." Bar?"
Dugu Lan glared and said: "He is a stick, but he is not a fool. If he dares to touch me, not to mention His Majesty can't spare him, his father can also skin him!"
As he spoke, he touched the small wine jar again, and said with a pained face: "It's just a pity that this jar has been red for thirty years!"
The confidant officials looked confused.
Changsun Guang was kidnapped by Fang Jun and was destined to have a bad end. You are not worried that Changsun Wuji will be angry with you afterwards, but are you worried about the jar of wine?
You must be confused...
Dugulan sighed and said: "This guy is unreasonable, and the Anxi Army obeyed his orders again, causing Changsun Guang and others to be snatched away by him. This time, not only will I lose my face, but I am afraid that our guards will be embarrassed from now on." The temple will be left idle and dispersed. Let’s go back to the city. I have to tell Duke Zhao about what happened here quickly, so that he can take precautions early and check for omissions, but we can save some losses.”
When the officials heard this, they quickly told everyone to set off quickly.
Whether Dugulan loses face or not has little impact on everyone. Anyway, this is the big Buddha in Weiwei Temple, and he usually doesn't care about anything. But if the power of military trial is taken away by the Ministry of War from now on, then Weiwei The temple is really going to become a cold government office. This is related to the interests of all Weiwei Temple officials. How can we not be anxious?
It was dark at night, the road was slippery, and it was still drizzling. This section of the road went very slowly. By the time we reached the Golden Gate, it was almost midnight.
An official went to call the door, but was told by the captain guarding the gate that the Ministry of War had issued an order that entry and exit in the city was strictly prohibited. No one was allowed to open the city gate without a document issued by the Ministry of War.
All the officials of Weiwei Temple were very anxious. This matter must be reported to Changsun Wuji immediately so that he can deal with it as soon as possible. Otherwise, at dawn, the Ministry of War will inevitably start interrogating Changsun Guang. Once the established facts are established and the emperor supports them, there will be no more Room for redemption.
If the power of military justice is deprived from now on, won't Weiwei Temple become a nursing home that no one cares about?
But no matter how much they yelled and cursed, none of the captains who guarded the city responded. When they got angry, they just said, "The Ministry of War has an order"...
A group of officials were making a fuss under the city gate for a long time, and then Dugu Lan on the carriage sighed and said: "Stop barking, it will be in vain if we call again. Fang Jun was on guard against us notifying Zhao Guogong and others, so how could he let me go?" Waiting to enter the city? Don't go to other city gates, they must be strictly guarded. Turn back quickly, spend the night at the inn tonight, and wait here early tomorrow morning. As soon as the city gate opens, we will enter the city."
Everyone looked at the sky. It was wet and cold in the middle of the night, with light rain falling. After spending most of the night, they were tired, cold and hungry, and they were all discouraged. The group returned to the inn along the same route, and took a hot shower under the arrangement of the Yi Cheng.
After preparing a simple midnight snack, they all went to their rooms to sleep.
The next morning, before it was dark, everyone got up early. After a simple wash and meal, they followed Dugu Lan's carriage to the city gate. Seeing that the city gate was open, they hurried into the city, and then returned home to tell everyone about what happened last night.
Report to the head of the family.
Weiwei Temple, as the "private residence" of the Guanlong nobles, is now "cut off" by the Ministry of War, which is very likely to lead to the loss of the power of military trial from now on. This is a top priority. How can these officials who came from the Guanlong nobles
Can you inform the owner of the family immediately and respond promptly?
After receiving the notification, each family was immediately in an uproar.
At all times and in all over the world, the struggle for power and profit is the eternal mainstream in the court. The Tang Dynasty is naturally not a paradise. However, like the Ministry of War, which blatantly snatched away the responsibilities of other yamen and replaced them, it is too rare to bully others.
Is that so?
Especially Changsun Wuji.
He was so angry that he threw two teacups in the study room and scolded Dugu for reading.
I paid a lot of money to get the benefits from Li Daozong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and gave them to Dugu Lan. In the end, Dugu Lan accepted the benefits but didn't do anything. Isn't this too ugly?
What particularly shocked and angered him was that Weiwei Temple was in the interests of the Guanlong nobles, but Dugu Lan was so careless. What did this mean?
Are you really unable to resist Fang Jun's mischief, or are you simply not thinking about confronting Fang Jun face to face?
If it's the former, that's it. Changsun Wuji feels the same way and knows how difficult Fang Jun is; but if it's the latter, then it's an earth-shattering event.
He shuddered whenever he thought about the possibility that there might be different ideas within the Guanlong Group, and that this huge alliance might be on the verge of collapse at any time...
All his achievements were achieved with the support of the Guanlong Group. Without the strong strength of the Guanlong Group, no matter how resourceful and resourceful he was, how could he have accomplished so many feats?
, even known as the most distinguished minister of the dynasty?
In the face of absolute power, the so-called wisdom is nothing.
He couldn't imagine where the Changsun family would go if the Guanlong Group fell apart one day and went their separate ways.
All along, countless people in the court have been staring at him with envy, jealousy, and hatred, wishing to replace him or even cut him into pieces... Once he no longer has the protection of the Guanlong Group, how can he go into battle naked and fight to the death with these enemies?
Even though His Majesty Li Er seemed to obey his advice and trust him in the past few years, in fact the more reason was to use the power of the Zhongguan Long Group to consolidate the foundation and eliminate dissidents. Now the entire empire is increasingly prosperous under the management of His Majesty Li Er.
, is gradually becoming stronger and stronger, and has the potential to sweep the world and unify Liuhe. The Guanlong Group is not only no longer his help, but a stumbling block to restrict the concentration of imperial power.
Urgently want to get rid of it quickly!
This was the original intention of His Majesty Li Er to suppress the noble families, and the Guanlong nobles were the first to bear the brunt.
Therefore, even though he knew that maintaining the Guanlong Group was actually contrary to His Majesty Li Er's will, Changsun Wuji had to bite the bullet and go ahead.
Without the Guanlong Group, who would listen to what his eldest son, Sun Wuji, said?
Ingenuity and strength have already made his grandson Wuji's brilliant achievements surpass those of tens of thousands of people. If we put aside strength and purely measure intelligence, neither Fang Xuanling nor Xiao Yu will be inferior to him.
And pure ministers like Fang Xuanling, who are pure-hearted and have few desires, are obviously more likely to be favored and favored by His Majesty Li Er...
The Guanlong Group made his eldest son Wuji his destiny.
Once the entire Guanlong Group falls apart due to internal and external troubles, it is almost impossible to imagine the fate of Changsun Wuji.
The current emperor has never been a kind-hearted and indecisive person. He can raise a butcher's knife against his elder brother and younger brother, and can force his father to give up the throne. What does his eldest grandson Wuji mean to him?
Perhaps the friendship he cherished in the past can give him a good death, but the Changsun family will inevitably disappear from now on...
With so many thoughts in his mind, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sigh, why didn't he fully support the crown prince in the first place? If he had become a strong supporter of the crown prince, then he could have completely avoided the pressure on His Majesty Li Er and responded in a roundabout way, or even shrink down and try to be as low-key as possible.
, as long as the prince comes to power in the future, everything lost will be returned.
His Majesty Li Er is too talented and strategic, but the prince can control him at will...
But now not only does the emperor want to suppress the Guanlong Group, but he and the prince are also at loggerheads. His Majesty Li Er will still care about the friendship in the past, but once the prince comes to power, he will definitely retaliate crazily against the Guanlong nobles - at the beginning, the prince
The Long nobles supported the King of Wei in seizing the heir, but they almost forced the prince into a desperate situation. When he was in power and had people like Fang Jun around him, how could he not treat the Guan and Long nobles as enemies?
Changsun Wuji rubbed his eyebrows vigorously.
Dugu Lan's sudden abnormality was like a thorn in Changsun Wuji's heart, causing him to panic and have trouble sleeping and eating. His usual calmness and calmness all disappeared, replaced by endless despair.
