The Guanlong Group is simply too powerful. What is particularly important is that they lack respect for the imperial power. It is commonplace to manipulate power and control the imperial power. This is how their ancestors laid a solid foundation and gave them the supreme power of this group.
Glory, this tradition is passed down from generation to generation and has long become an instinct buried in the blood.
Therefore, after His Majesty Li Er secured his position, he formulated a national policy to suppress the noble families. The first step was to contain and weaken the power of the Guanlong nobles.
He was really deeply afraid of the Guanlong Group, which often hijacked the emperor to change dynasties...
And facts also proved that his worries were not unnecessary.
Li Chengqian was the crown prince appointed by him. As his eldest son, he naturally had the right to inherit the empire. However, precisely because Li Chengqian was not close to Changsun Wuji, those people united to depose Li Chengqian and replace him with King Li Tai of Wei.
Of.
Regarding the succession of imperial power, this was the bottom line that His Majesty Li Er would never allow others to interfere with, but the Guanlong nobles intervened unscrupulously.
How can His Majesty Li Er endure it?
At present, His Majesty Li Er is certainly wary of the strength of the Guanlong nobles, fearing that excessive suppression will lead to instability in the court. The Guanlong nobles are also hesitant that their influence in the army is gradually weakening and they cannot organize too strong a force. Both sides maintain an extreme restraint.
state, but if things continue like this, one day the gun will go off and a power struggle will take place where Mars will hit the Earth!
His Majesty Li Er is indeed a man of great talent and strategy, but how can the nobles of Guanlong be easily offended?
Fang Jun understands what his father means. Since both sides will have a life-and-death fight over the struggle for power, Fang Jun must stay away from this whirlpool. At least he cannot become the trigger of this fight, otherwise he will be caught in the middle.
No matter which side wins, he will be crushed into powder...
Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her son understood what she meant and was more able to listen.
He had placed unlimited expectations on this son who had suddenly become enlightened. He hoped that he could achieve far greater achievements than himself. He also believed that he could cope with any twists and turns as long as he was careful.
situation.
Dang Ji stood up and said with a smile: "Stop traveling around in the past two years. Stay in Chang'an to assist His Royal Highness in supervising the country. In addition to laying a solid foundation, you will also have many children and expand the branches of my family. This is the first priority."
event."
After saying that, he ignored Fang Jun, who had a wry smile on his face, and left with his hands behind his back.
…
Fang Jun was speechless and smiled bitterly. In this era, having children is the most important thing for a man. No matter how high your title, official position, or power you are, it cannot compare to the hordes of heirs and the prosperity you have.
In fact, it is unavoidable. After all, medical and health care are extremely backward these days. Not to mention the extremely low survival rate of infants, it is also common for adults to die if they are not careful. If you want to ensure the reproduction of the next generation, you can only expand the base.
A family's greatest reliance is its prosperity, which is more important than anything else.
After drinking a cup of tea and changing his clothes, Fang Jun went out and took a car to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
As soon as he entered the duty room, he saw Cui Dunli pushing the door in and reporting: "Changsun Guangye has shown his head to the public, and all the other accomplices have been whipped a hundred times and taken to prison. After their injuries improve, they will be exiled to Qiongzhou immediately."
Fang Jun nodded.
Qiongzhou is a land of barren mountains and rivers. Not only is the living conditions backward, it is also full of miasma, with snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere. From ancient times to the present, being exiled to Qiongzhou has been a little lighter than the death penalty. But few people can survive being exiled here.
Come down.
Fang Jun asked: "There was no response from Weiwei Temple?"
Cui Dunli shook his head and said: "Everything is business as usual. No one, whether Wei Weiqing or other officials, expressed dissatisfaction with this."
Fang Jun pondered for a moment.
Those who are dissatisfied must be dissatisfied. How can Weiwei Temple be willing to accept the power of military trial being taken away? It can be said that this power will no longer belong to Weiwei Temple, so Weiwei Temple will immediately become the bottom of the nine temples.
For the Guanlong nobles who completely control Weiwei Temple, even if they want to swallow it, it is not easy to swallow.
Behind the calm there will be a raging storm.
Fang Jun reminded: "Go on, you need to be careful when doing things recently. It is better to do less than to be criticized by others if they find any omissions."
Cui Dunli was not an official idiot, so he naturally understood the meaning behind Fang Jun's words. He nodded and said, "I'll take note of this. I'll tell everyone in the yamen later that there will be no mistakes."
Fang Jun was relieved and said: "I'm also keeping an eye on some academies on the way. The opening ceremony will be held in these two days. We must be careful to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to sabotage and add insult to injury. The entire ceremony must be completed smoothly, otherwise His Majesty will blame us and we will not be fine."
Eat the fruit.”
Cui Dunli said: "I understand!"
After a pause, when he saw that Fang Jun had no more instructions, he hesitated for a moment, with a look of shame on his face, and said: "Last night, I failed in my duty. If Fang Shaobao hadn't come forward in person, I would have screwed up this job. It's really terrible."
Extremely incompetent..."
When he returned to his home last night, he didn't sleep all night.
Everyone knows how important it is for the Ministry of War to fight for the power of military trial from Weiwei Temple. After it is done, the power of the Ministry of War has skyrocketed, and all the officials of the Ministry of War have become better. But once it fails, not only this power will be lost.
, but it will make the Ministry of War become the laughing stock of the court, and Fang Jun will be ridiculed by many people.
That this matter can be left to him, Cui Dunli, shows that Fang Jun relies on and cultivates him.
But he didn't do it well...
If Fang Jun hadn't come forward in person in the end, Cui Dunli would have been completely crushed by Dugu Lan last night. Once this matter spread, not only would all Fang Jun's plans be in vain, Cui Dunli would also become "incompetent"
Synonymous with it, even if the career path in the future is not cut off once, it will definitely be left idle and no one is willing to use it again.
Fang Jun naturally understood Cui Dunli's worries and comforted him: "Why is this so? Dugu Lan was not only a veteran of the two dynasties, but also became a general of the Twelve Guards during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.
Compared with the overt and covert fighting above, we are all very young. Even if we make some omissions in front of him and are suppressed by his momentum, it is really not a shameful thing."
He was indeed trying to comfort him, but when he heard Cui Dunli's ears, he became more and more despondent.
Dugu Lan is a very difficult old man to deal with, but why is he so suppressed by others that he suddenly reverses the situation as soon as Fang Jun arrives?
Fang Jun is more than ten years younger than him. If he can't do the things that Fang Jun can do, doesn't he seem more and more incompetent?
Not to mention how frustrated Cui Dunli was...
"This official has betrayed Fang Shaobao's trust and is willing to accept the punishment."
Cui Dunli looked depressed and downcast.
Fang Jun was speechless and said helplessly: "Who can make no mistakes when doing things? Facing seniors like Dugu Lan who have been immersed in official circles all their lives, even if they are suppressed by them, it is nothing. Believe it or not, look at it.
There are not many people in the court who can get favors from him and take advantage of him? The reason why I was able to quickly calm down the situation and take Changsun Guang and others away is not that I am much stronger than you, but that
I have grasped Dugu Lan's weakness, which is that Dugu Lan himself is unwilling to persevere."
The reason why he took so much trouble to comfort him was because Fang Jun was very optimistic about Cui Dunli.
Although he comes from a prominent family such as the Boling Cui family, he is aware of the sentiments of the barbarians, understands the sufferings of the people, has a stable temperament and good conduct, and is a rare honest and stable person in the officialdom. As long as he does not make political mistakes, he will be a good person in the future.
The future is limitless.
Wouldn't it be a pity if one becomes discouraged because of this incident?
Cui Dunli was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "The power of military trial is the foundation of Weiwei Temple. How can Dugu Lan be willing to give it up?"
Fang Jun touched his chin, it was hard to explain.
After all, Cui Dunli does not have his own "God's perspective" and does not understand that this is the critical moment for His Majesty Li Er to consolidate imperial power. Any force that attempts to prevent the concentration of imperial power will be within the scope of His Majesty Li Er's attack. Moreover, the intensity of this attack is not only
His Majesty Li Er is doing it himself, and his successors are also unswervingly walking on this road.
As long as the world is unified, regardless of whether there are external threats from foreign invaders, there will inevitably be a struggle between the imperial power and various forces internally. Either the east wind will overwhelm the west wind, or the west wind will overwhelm the east wind. It is absolutely impossible for the two to coexist peacefully.
Dugu Lan has been in the officialdom for a lifetime, witnessed the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, and experienced the strong rise of the Tang Dynasty. He has a clear understanding of the nature of imperial power, and is deeply wary of His Majesty Li Er's methods. Therefore, in this
In the struggle for power, he chose to retreat and take himself out...
