What is the use of reviewing the case? Sun Fuga, the minister of Dali Temple, is a staunch "loyal to the emperor". He only obeys the orders of His Majesty Li Er. Everyone in Dali Temple is on good terms with Fang Jun. Entering Dali Temple is like going home.
Generally at ease; Zong Zhengqing, King of Han Li Yuanjia is Fang Jun's brother-in-law, and his legs tremble when he sees this "stick" brother-in-law. What can these two people find out when they try the case?
His Majesty Li Er did not want to intensify the conflict with the Guanlong nobles too early, so Fang Jun had to be wronged in this matter. However, the conflict was still transferred to Fang Jun, and the crisis was temporarily relieved. Even if Fang Jun was wronged again, he would never let Fang Jun.
Jun is charged with "arranging soldiers to commit murder".
Changsun Wuji had a clear mind, and at the end of the trial, he would definitely find out that there was no solid evidence.
If he does not go to court today, then this matter will probably end here. The follow-up will naturally be impeachment by the Long nobles, who will continue to submit impeachment memorials. This matter is bound to be uproar for a while, but in the end, I am afraid that
Even so, Fang Jun couldn't be hurt at all.
Only when he comes and stands in the Tai Chi Hall can this matter develop and not stop abruptly...
*****
Hearing that Changsun Wuji wanted to suspend Fang Jun's official position, His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, looked around at the ministers in the palace, and asked slowly: "What do you all think of Duke Zhao's words?"
He is the emperor, and he is also an invisible party in this matter. It would be inappropriate for him to forcefully reject Changsun Wuji.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jingzhao Yin and Ma Zhou still went out to start: "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. Zhao Guogong has sued Fang Jun. So far, it is only one-sided words. No witnesses or physical evidence have been produced. How can we tell the inside story?"
It requires a trial and investigation to find out. How could Fang Jun be suspended from his duties so rashly? If his request is allowed, then in the future, even if someone makes arbitrary false accusations, will they follow suit indiscriminately?"
Changsun Wuji snorted angrily and said: "How outrageous! Ma Fuyin knows exactly what this matter is. How can it be regarded as a false accusation?"
Ma Zhou said calmly: "Whether the accusation is false or not is not decided by the lower official, nor by Duke Zhao, but by the law. Logically speaking, it is illegal for you to accuse the imperial official without any evidence.
Now His Majesty is thinking of your pain of losing your son, and is sympathizing with you. It is better not to push the envelope too much."
Changsun Wuji sneered and said: "Ma Fuyin is also involved in this matter. It is originally a street fight. Dozens of them occur every day in Chang'an City. If Ma Fuyin can take the courage to solve it,
How could there be any follow-up, let alone the tragic death of my beloved son! Just because several clan members were involved, Ma Fuyin tried every means to evade Zongzheng Temple, who was prevaricating. Haha, everyone said that Ma Zhougong was loyal to the country, upright and honest.
From my point of view, he is just an official who is proficient in official skills and has no sense of responsibility."
He made up his mind today that he would stand up and fight Fang Jun on his own without any need for the Guanlong nobles to speak out during the whole process, in order to make up for the previous gap caused by "betrayal".
As long as we can use this to seek benefits for the Guanlong nobles, we can successfully overcome this crisis...
Ma Zhou smiled calmly: "I am an honest and honest official. I am not doing it for anyone to see. This is my true intention. Why should I be afraid of how the world will see me?"
Xiao Yu, the Duke of the Song Dynasty, came out of the office and said: "Your Majesty has learned clearly that, not to mention whether Zhao Guogong's request for Fang Jun to suspend his duties is in compliance with the law, just because the affairs of the Ministry of War are complicated at the moment, it cannot be suspended. The Eastern Expedition is about to start next spring, and the number of soldiers and horses in Liaodong is very high.
One hundred thousand people are on the alert, transporting grain and fodder, and allocating soldiers every day. The manpower and material resources involved are countless. If the Ministry of War is without an owner for a day, it will inevitably lead to a low efficiency of the entire Ministry of War yamen. If something goes wrong, who can bear the responsibility?
"
The sky is vast and the earth is vast, and the Eastern March is the largest.
There is a consensus among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty that everything that involves the Eastern Expedition must give way. This is absolutely politically correct, because it is not only related to His Majesty Li Er's grand hegemony, but also to the merits and wealth of everyone.
Fang Jun is the Minister of War. Once he is suspended, the efficiency of the War Department will inevitably decrease. If something goes wrong in the upcoming Eastern Expedition, who can bear this responsibility?
Changsun Wuji glared at Xiao Yu. He originally thought that at this time, very few Shandong officials in the court would come forward to speak for Fang Jun. It would be best if His Highness the Crown Prince could not help but stand up to defend Fang Jun, but he never did.
I thought it was Xiao Yu who jumped out...
Is this old fox trying to play both sides?
Simply abominable!
From the corner of his eye, he saw the Crown Prince Li Chengqian kneeling in the front row of civil servants. The ideal thing for him to criticize Fang Jun this time was to involve the Crown Prince, but this His Highness the Crown Prince, who was not usually called stable, was
The old god remained silent, stood by and looked on indifferently...
What a pity for this good opportunity.
Changsun Wuji sighed in his heart, and said disapprovingly: "The Ministry of War is the imperial yamen, and it has its own laws and regulations to keep it running. Why should it be abolished because of one person? At worst, we should choose a smart and capable person to act as the agent for the Ministry of War and perform the duties of the minister. When he arrives,
It won’t be too late for the officer to be reinstated after the Shaobao test proves his innocence.”
The hall fell silent for a moment, and even His Majesty Li Er gave Changsun Wuji a meaningful look.
This man would rather ignore the funeral at home and come to the court to state his grievances. It turned out that his original intention was not to ask the emperor to issue an order to interrogate Fang Jun and thereby convict him, but to fundamentally take away Fang Jun's official position...
…
Originally, the Ministry of War was the last of the six departments. It was called the yamen in charge of controlling the world's soldiers and horses. In fact, it had no authority and could only do some trivial things such as maintaining ordnance and allocating military supplies. However, under Fang Jun's management, it was
It became more and more powerful, and seemed to be on the rise, gradually becoming one of the most popular yamen among the six central departments.
Moreover, now that the Eastern Expedition is imminent, the Ministry of War is the top priority. How can such an important yamen change its chief officers frequently? No one can afford it if something goes wrong.
Therefore, once Fang Jun is suspended and the position of Minister of War is temporarily taken over by someone else, at least until the end of the Eastern Expedition, even if Fang Jun is found innocent, he will not be reinstated...
But I have to admit that Changsun Wuji's proposal is indeed reasonable. It is a conspiracy. The so-called "human and material evidence" are just excuses. Who in the civil and military dynasty, including His Majesty Li Er, doesn't know about this?
Is it undoubtedly Fang Jun who did it?
Just because the impact of the incident was too great and Fang Jun took the initiative to share the worries of the royal family, everyone just pretended to be deaf and dumb...
You did the thing, and you already know the consequences, so you will naturally have to bear some of the consequences. You can't act righteous and awe-inspiring and win countless praises in front of His Majesty Li Er, but then enjoy His Majesty's favor lightly.
But you don’t have to sacrifice your life, right?
The price of being a loyal minister is too low... Especially when Changsun Wuji said that he would suspend Fang Jun's official position and choose someone else to temporarily replace him, most of the ministers became silent.
His Majesty Li Er was sitting on the throne, looking down at the ministers in the palace with cold eyes and a sarcastic smile.
This is the reason why he tried his best to suppress wealthy families. These people only have family interests in their eyes. They are selfish and selfish. Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are all empty words. They will sacrifice the emperor and the empire when necessary. They can even rejuvenate a country for the benefit of the family.
Destroy a country, depose an emperor and establish an emperor...
They will only join forces with each other to fight for power and gain, eliminate dissidents and fight against opposition. In their eyes, moral ethics, national laws and regulations are just playthings, used as tools to pursue interests.
When interests are involved, even something as big as the Eastern Expedition can be put aside.
The family members are not eliminated, and the court is full of cliques and attacks on dissidents. The internal strife is serious. How can we make this old empire more prosperous?
If the country is not destroyed, Li Erying will be regarded as a very powerful person...
His Majesty Li Er suppressed his anger, glanced at Changsun Wuji coldly, and said slowly: "Since Zhao Guogong said so, who do you think can replace Fang Jun and temporarily act as Minister of War?"
Changsun Wuji said respectfully: "Dou Yun, Duke of Yan'an County, son of the late Dou Wei, the internal historian, is now General Zuo Xiaowei. He is loyal, brave and sincere, and can be chosen as a temporary replacement."
Your Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
He thought that the purpose of Changsun Wuji's troubles was to let one of his people temporarily take over the post of Minister of War, but he never thought that he recommended Dou Yun.
The Dou family is a descendant of the family, relatives of the emperor. Although they can be regarded as Guanlong lineage, strictly speaking, they are close relatives of the royal family. This choice is intriguing...
