Chapter 772: The Chicken That Warned the Monkey (Part 2)
Although whoever is in charge of this yamen will definitely be His Majesty Li Er's absolute confidant, the psychological pressure of looking at His Majesty Li Er every day is too great, just like Zhu Bajie looking at a magic mirror all day long, all his problems will disappear.
Every detail is revealed...
After all, I am still a soul from the later generations. No matter how I behave and do things as the locals do, I will still have the loose and casual style of the later generations, which can be said to be incompatible with the Tang Dynasty.
It's fine outside. Even if there is something particularly inappropriate, no one will say anything because of their status. At most, it will be passed around as an interesting thing, and it will just be made fun of, which is harmless.
But if His Majesty Li Er stares at him every day, then all his faults will be exposed. With his unshakable character, shouldn't he suffer a serious crime?
This is absolutely impossible!
His Majesty Li Er raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile without any smile, which made Fang Jun's heart tremble...
"Lao Cheng seeks the country? Haha, I think, Fang Aiqing, you are enough to be called the old man seeking the country. Aren't you the ones who are as gentle and wise as Zhang Liang?"
These sinister words caused Fang Jun to suddenly soak his back with cold sweat, and his whole body shivered. He swallowed hard and said dryly: "Wei Chen... I am stupid, I don't know what your majesty means by this...
…”
"Haha," His Majesty Li Er sneered again: "I'm actually not sure whether Zhang Liang has that so-called formula in his hand..."
Fang Jun's heart skipped a beat, and then he was full of doubts: If you don't believe it, then why did you deal with Zhang Liang like this, but didn't hold anyone accountable for beating Zhang Liang in front of you?
Without him asking, His Majesty Li Er has already continued: "But, I... don't dare to take this risk! I seem to be the most powerful person in the world, and I am rich all over the world, but in fact, I don't know how many people are secretly stumbling for me, waiting for me
Make a fool of yourself! There are even many people who are thinking about the former dynasty and Prince Yin..."
Fang Jun was silent.
Indeed, His Majesty Li Er's appointment as emperor was not very satisfactory. The former dynasty's remnants, Jiancheng's old ministry, five surnames and seven sects, and the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River... all of them seemed to surrender at the feet of His Majesty Li Er, but in fact they all had ulterior motives, just waiting.
His Majesty Li Er made a mistake and removed him from the throne!
It's hard to sleep all night long, like sitting on pins and needles!
This is the current situation of His Majesty Li Er, and it is definitely not an exaggeration.
Why did he have to go on an expedition to Goguryeo, ignoring the advice of many ministers and insisting on his own way?
Did he not know how difficult it would be to conquer Goguryeo?
He knows better than anyone else!
But what he knows more clearly is that he must rely on his unparalleled achievements to firmly suppress all different voices, so that those who oppose him will no longer find any excuses.
Is he afraid of those people?
No, he, Li Shimin, dared to kill his brother and brother, and he dared to force his father to give up his throne. What else did he not dare to do and what was he afraid of?
He just didn't want those who opposed him to get more and more violent, and finally had to force him to raise the butcher knife high and cut off this prosperous era of Zhenguan!
It's not that I don't dare, but that I don't want to...
Perhaps, in this time and space, no one can understand His Majesty Li Er's mentality better than Fang Jun, because all of His Majesty Li Er's actions have occurred in history and have been interpreted by countless experts and scholars.
Fang Jun benefited from this, so he could accurately grasp the character of His Majesty Li Er and grasp the pulse of his dealings. No matter how messy he was, he would retreat calmly before touching His Majesty Li Er's bottom line every time, so as to gain something for himself.
Best interests…
"Am I not as good as the debauched and immoral Yang Guang? Or are my achievements not as good as those of Prince Yin who never ruled the world? I hate these people, their selfishness and self-righteousness! I keep saying that poems and books are handed down from generation to generation.
, but look at what they did, how have they ever paid attention to the benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust in the book? They are just a group of duplicitous villains!"
His Majesty Li Er seemed to be filled with emotion and slightly agitated. Fang Jun did not dare to interrupt, but listened obediently, being a good and qualified listener...
"Fang Jun, I am very optimistic about you! You are young, but you are brave enough to do your job. In just a few days in the Water Department, you developed a waterwheel to benefit the people! You seem to be timid, but I can also see it.
Come on, you actually have a beautiful heart, and you are especially proficient in the ways of officialdom. Underneath your vulgar and reckless behavior, you have an accurate grasp of the situation, which is rare!"
His Majesty Li Er said very pleased.
Fang Jun was a little helpless, are you trying to force me to drink soup? Do you think I am a three-year-old kid who, after saying a few nice words, screams and charges you like a chicken blood injection?
Anger...
Looking at Fang Jun with an expression of "You can speak like a lotus flower, I will remain immobile", His Majesty Li Er laughed a little. They all said that this guy is a donkey, and he will retreat when he is held back. It is true...
"No matter what you do or do, remember that you must be upright in your mind. Even if you are plotting against others, you must make the calculation obvious so that others will be convinced even if they lose! This is called conspiracy! Only those who conspire can scheme in the world.
! All day long, people are thinking about plots. If things go on like this, people will become gloomy and stingy, just like the wild dogs in the gutter. How can they achieve great things?"
This is chicken soup for the soul. Is His Majesty Li Er planning to be a life mentor?
Fang Jun was puzzled, but he could also hear that His Majesty Li Er was not completely unaware of his plot to frame Zhang Liang.
Sure enough, His Majesty Li Er glanced at Fang Jun sideways and said in a sharp tone: "Do you think I can't see that you framed Zhang Liang? I can see that I am only protecting you by placing Zhang Liang under house arrest. Naturally, I am also protecting him.
!”
Fang Jun suddenly realized!
If Zhang Liang is left alone, the consequences can almost be expected. Zhang Liang will definitely take revenge after being humiliated. Either Fang Jun dies or Zhang Liang dies!
And from what His Majesty Li Er said before, Zhang Liang must have colluded with those secret forces. Putting him under house arrest not only protects Zhang Liang, but also prevents him from having a chance to have sex with Junyu. The deeper meaning is that
He was afraid that if Zhang Liang really had the gunpowder formula in his hands and leaked the formula to those people...
Then, His Majesty Li Er will have to raise the butcher's knife and eliminate all hidden dangers that may endanger him!
All the efforts he has made have been in vain...
Remaining ministers of the former dynasty, wealthy families...how many people are involved?
By then, there will definitely be heads rolling in and blood flowing everywhere!
The Tang Dynasty will definitely be severely damaged and even unable to recover.
Fang Jun finally understood that His Majesty Li Er had already seen through the tricks he was playing...
The reason why His Majesty Li Er was willing to cooperate was actually just a trace of uncertainty in his heart.
He believed that Zhang Liang had been tricked by Fang Jun and had no so-called formula at all. However, because the consequences of guessing wrong were too serious, he could not take even the slightest risk, so he would rather let Fang Jun succeed than
Dare to face the consequences of a wrong guess...
Fang Jun was speechless, his eyebrows drooped, and he behaved like a bunny...
What else is there to say?
His Majesty Li Er breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "I know why you don't want to be the leader of this firearms yamen. Isn't it just that you feel uncomfortable in front of me? I won't embarrass you, but the less people know about it,
No matter who you are, if you don’t want to do it, then I will release Zhang Liang and let him do it..."
"Uh... this..." Fang Jun didn't dare to be silent anymore...
Release Zhang Liang and take charge of Zhentian Lei?
So depressed!
That guy couldn't rush to make a hundred and eighty pieces and just throw them into my bed overnight?
If this is true, from now on, I will have to open my eyelids when sleeping...
He quickly raised his chest, raised his head, straightened his waist, and said in a sonorous voice: "I am guilty! I only know that I am free and easy, but I never take my family, country and world into my heart. It is really a big mistake! In the world of life, you should have the courage to take responsibility.
, Dare to face it! Your Majesty, please give this mission to me. I promise you that I will do my best and die. If I don’t go to hell, who will?”
The words are beautiful, but my heart is bursting with tears. Facing His Majesty Li Er all day long, it is really a hellish life...
His Majesty Li Er laughed and scolded: "Who wants you to go to hell? If you use all your skills and serve the country loyally, how can I treat you badly? However, your thunderous thunder tonight not only shocked me, I'm afraid
I don’t know how many people in Chang’an City can’t sleep peacefully, hehe…”
Fang Jun was silent in his heart, maybe a storm is about to start, right?
