His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
It was rare for Li Ji to agree with his own strategy but with sufficient reasons. After assessing the situation, he looked up at Changsun Wuji, who had been silent, and asked with a smile: "What do you think, Duke Zhao Guo?"
Changsun Wuji said: "As the British Lord said, the strategic positions of the Western Region and Liaodong are equally important, or even more important, but things have priorities. The more you want to get the best of both worlds, the more difficult it is to take care of both ends. We should still make every effort to plan now.
Destroy Goguryeo, eliminate this hidden danger, and then stabilize the Western Region."
His heart blossomed with joy.
This is the first time in recent years that I can see Fang Jun's proposal being completely suppressed in the political hall. This is not only a relief, but also because it perfectly agrees with my own expectations and makes all my plans
can proceed smoothly.
What these people said was very reasonable, but everything was based on the fact that the cannibals would not launch a surprise attack on the Western Regions. After the fall of Goguryeo, they could naturally turn around and deal with it calmly.
But if the Great Cannibal sees through the lack of troops in the Western Region and Guanzhong is unable to support it, will it take a risk?
Therefore, although he was happy to see Fang Jun defeated, his fear of Fang Jun also deepened. This man's insight into the situation was indeed different from ordinary people. It was so frightening that he was able to learn from the inside of the big cannibal
The disputes and civil strife indicate that it is very likely that troops will be sent to the Western Regions to enhance their strength and build their prestige, thus threatening the safety of Guanzhong.
This made him feel that "giving birth to a son is like the last love of a house", and at the same time, it deepened the urgency of getting rid of the son...
Fang Jun lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, but he could not see any loss or embarrassment.
He overlooks the general trend of the world from a historical perspective. He is not only a lofty position, but also a kind of cheating on open-book exams. These people in front of him are already the most outstanding figures of this era, but they also fail to understand history. This is not unexpected.
.
What's more, he couldn't be sure that the cannibals would really make a comeback and invade the Western Region. On this basis, the strategy of first focusing on the eastward expedition to ensure victory was indeed very appropriate.
As long as he writes a letter later and orders it to be sent to the Western Regions and handed to the Anxi Governor Li Xiaogong, instructing him to strictly guard against the movements of the cannibals and at the same time hide the lack of troops, Guanzhong will no longer have the disadvantages of support, and the cannibals will not see it
Knowing the depth of the Anxi Army, there is a high probability that they will not be determined to attack the Western Region again, which just gave them a taste of failure.
His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun and said warmly: "Can the Duke of Yue approve this resolution?"
In his eyes, Fang Jun is indeed different. He usually beats and scolds at will, but when his advice is opposed by everyone, the first thing he thinks of is to take care of Fang Jun's mood and maintain his prestige.
It's hard to find the right one in the imperial court.
Fang Jun felt warm in his heart, nodded and said: "All the ministers and ministers are all experienced pillars of the country, and the humble ministers have few talents and little knowledge. They are convinced by this teaching and fully accept the decision not to increase troops in the Western Region. However, the imperial court should still warn the Anxi Protectorate.
, asking it to pay close attention to the movements of Damascus, and if there is any slight change in the cannibal, it must respond in time. The Silk Road is extremely important to the economy, military, and strategy of the empire, and it must not be missed."
His Majesty Li Er saw that Fang Jun was not stubborn, let alone playing with his "stick" temper, and said happily: "That's right. Although it is unlikely that the cannibal will invade the Western Regions again, you must be on guard against others, and you should be prepared to deal with them."
."
At this point, this matter has come to an end. The Anxi Army can still only rely on itself to resist the Dashi army that may invade, and will no longer have troops to support it.
…
After walking out of the political hall, Fang Jun stood on the stone steps at the door and looked up at the gray sky.
The sky has been cloudy these past few days, with sporadic snowflakes falling from time to time, but no heavy snow has fallen, which makes people feel particularly depressed. It would be better to have a violent storm and snow.
Behind him, all the prime ministers and assistants filed out.
Now that the day of government closure is approaching, all the affairs in the political hall have been taken care of. Unless there are urgent matters submitted by various ministries and yamen, everyone will have a meal early in the morning, and then go home to prepare for the New Year in a relaxed manner.
As soon as the ministers and ministers went out, they saw Fang Jun standing on the stone steps in front of the door with his hands behind his hands. His back was tall and straight, blending in with the gloomy sky outside. He looked a little oppressive.
Several people's hearts sank slightly.
Just now, the imperial prelude to the political affairs hall was correct. These people all unanimously opposed Fang Jun's advice in a rare move. This man stood in front of the door after his duty. Could it be that Bang Chui's temper broke out...
It is inevitable to feel anxious.
To be honest, whether it was Changsun Wuji, who had overwhelming power in the past, or Xiao Yu, the lofty scholar leader, or Li Ji, who served as the chief assistant in the army, they all had a headache with Fang Jun's temper.
Not to mention Cen Wenwen, Liu Jie and others.
This guy doesn't care about anything when he gets angry, and he doesn't give face to anyone. He has no respect for the "old seniors" at all. He even gets physical when he gets angry. However, he is so strong that most people can't beat him, so he can only suffer the loss.
, His Majesty Li Er was often partial to others at that time. At most, he would be done with a few whips and a few kicks...
Over time, anyone who faces Fang Jun will inevitably feel wary.
In particular, Li Ji, Xiao Yu, Liu Jie and others all expressed their support for the Prince's family, but they publicly refuted him, a backbone of the Prince's family. In the eyes of outsiders, it was inevitable that there would be internal strife in the Prince's family.
, which in turn affects morale...
Changsun Wuji was walking behind. When he saw the people in front of him slowing down, he thought for a moment and walked to the front without stopping for a few steps. He said with a smile: "Erlang looked depressed, but he was still angry about what happened just now."
?Haha, don’t blame me for being too talkative. Although everyone has different positions, the first priority is to ensure the interests of the empire, and you can’t ignore it just because of your own position. In this regard, Erlang, you should be more open-minded."
Fang Jun was stunned.
He was indeed a little depressed in his heart, but now he was just feeling the gloomy weather. Why did he vent his anger on a few ministers?
This old guy's nickname of "Yin Man" is indeed not for nothing. This swishing little knife will cut you a few times when you are not paying attention. If you are not careful, you will fall into it.
Fang Jun smiled, his smile was bright and sunny, but his words were aggressive: "Zhao Guogong should be worried about himself. The descendants of the eldest grandson family serve as guards in the palace, but they have conspired with foreign thieves to assassinate an important minister of the court.
He also put steel knives on the necks of several princesses as hostages. To put it into detail, this is a serious crime of annihilating three tribes. You, the old man, keep saying that you are loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but you have taught these descendants. It is obvious that what you do must be followed by actions. You always keep saying how loyal you are.
Second, it is really shameless to do things secretly."
The several prime ministers and assistants behind were sweating profusely when they heard this. Although they usually didn't deal with each other, they still had to show some dignity to each other. No matter how they fought with swords and swords in secret, at least they seemed to respect each other, otherwise they would start fighting in front of each other.
If you tear it apart, wouldn’t it make you a laughing stock?
They are all top politicians, and any struggle must be dignified.
It's unheard of for Fang Jun to point at someone's nose and scold him in front of his face, but because he has been assassinated several times, even if all dignity is torn apart like this, you can't accuse him of going too far.
.
You are going to kill me, why should I be polite to you?
Even if your words don't hurt the opponent half a bit, it's still good to have some fun...
Changsun Wuji's face was ashen and he stared fiercely, but for a moment he did not retort.
This is not because he admits that he is wrong, but because this place is in front of the Political Affairs Hall. Once he and Fang Jun start a quarrel with each other, he will be embarrassed no matter how public it gets.
Everyone knows that Fang Jun is a stick, and no matter how much he goes too far, everyone just takes it for granted. But his eldest son Wuji has always been particular about "hiding a knife behind his smile". If he openly quarrels with each other like this, others will only think that his eldest son Wuji is at a disadvantage.
Helpless.
He gave in, but Fang Jun refused to give up.
Taking a step forward and meeting Changsun Wuji's eyes, Fang Jun sneered: "I'm warning you, it's enough for you to secretly appoint dead men to take my life. Life and death are left to fate. But if you dare to communicate with foreign countries,
If you eat everything inside and outside, don’t blame me for killing all your sons and digging up your family’s ancestral graves!”
The few spectators at the back couldn't stand it anymore. Li Ji took two steps forward and said with a tigerish face: "Erlang, be careful what you say! You are an important official of the empire, how can you say such threatening words like a street ruffian?"
