The aura of an emperor, wealth, majesty, and uprightness. If there is conspiracy and calculation, he will go astray and fall into the wrong path, which will eventually backfire and cause endless disasters.
At present, His Majesty Li Er was upright and spoke with touching words. Changsun Wuji no longer had any choice. He knew what kind of person His Majesty Li Er was, so he could naturally see that His Majesty Li Er's words were sincere.
The reason why he was not allowed to stay in Chang'an was not only to prevent him from leading the Guanlong nobles to stir up trouble, but also to prevent the monarch and his ministers from having no room for change in the future.
No matter how determined His Majesty Li Er is to suppress and weaken the Guanlong nobles, Changsun Wuji can be sure that His Majesty Li Er always has the idea of "the monarch and his ministers can get along with each other and make good stories together" in his heart, and he is absolutely unwilling to wait for Changsun Wuji to leave.
On the dead end road that divides the king and his ministers, they have to fight each other and fight to the death.
For His Majesty Li Er, the most important people in the process of getting to where he is today are three people.
Du Ruhui was quick-witted and unparalleled in his decisiveness. Unfortunately, he died early, and His Majesty Li Er mourned him greatly. Fang Xuanling was resourceful, steady and steady. He had worked conscientiously and selflessly for more than ten years. He was also favored and returned to his hometown with great honors. His eldest grandson, Wuji, was
Known as "the number one hero of Zhenguan", his achievements are unparalleled in the court, and His Majesty Li Er also wants a good start and a good end between the emperor and his ministers.
Even the "venomous tongue" Wei Zheng can endure it, let alone his eldest grandson Wuji?
However, if he continues on the current path, he is likely to embark on a road of no return, where the monarch and his ministers will meet each other in life and death...
Changsun Wuji himself knew this, and His Majesty Li Er obviously knew it too.
That's why His Majesty Li Er insisted on forcing Changsun Wuji to conquer Liaodong with him, in order to prevent the conflict between the monarch and his ministers from getting worse.
Not even a word was mentioned about Fang Jun being assassinated by soldiers last night...
Of course, it doesn't matter whether you mention it or not.
Everyone knows who did this, but at this moment, no one wants to make it known to the world and there will be no room for recovery.
His Majesty Li Er understands, and so does Changsun Wuji.
…
"Your Majesty, I have received the order from you!"
Changsun Wuji thanked the emperor for his kindness, happily accepted the order, and went to Liaodong with His Majesty Li Er to conquer Goguryeo.
Since you can't refuse, why not just obey?
Doing something you know you can't do is a fool...
His Majesty Li Er was very pleased and asked the eldest son Wuji to stand up and nodded: "The auxiliary machine will go back to the house to make preparations. He will explain everything at home to his children, so that he can go into battle lightly and fight the enemy side by side with me!"
"Here!"
Changsun Wuji accepted the order, took three steps back, turned around and walked out of the imperial study.
Outside the Imperial Study Room, the sky was gloomy, the wind was blowing gently, and it started to rain lightly again...
He stood on the stone steps in front of the door, looking gloomily at Fang Jun, who was standing solemnly and calmly under the stone steps. The two looked at each other for a long time, and Changsun Wuji faced Fang Jun's clear and bright eyes and said slowly:
"What happened last night was not my fault."
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Do you believe what I say?"
Fang Jun said calmly: "To be honest, I don't like Duke Zhao. You are too insidious, and many of your plans have no bottom line. You only have family in your eyes, not an empire. But although I have always disliked your character, I
Respect your status. When your status reaches your level, there is no need to lie. It will only show that you are getting older and more incompetent. In a short time, you will be nothing more than withered bones in the grave."
Changsun Wuji's eyelids twitched fiercely, his back molars were clenched tightly, and the flesh of his cheeks squirmed.
Mother!
Fang Xuanling has been a pure and upright man all his life, a gentle gentleman who never speaks ill of others. How did he give birth to such a bastard who talks like a knife and a gun?
Originally, his words could convince Fang Jun, and he was somewhat complacent. After all, this at least showed that his character was guaranteed, and even his enemies could admire him.
But listen to what this bastard is saying?
You have simply belittled me to the point of being worthless...
Fortunately, Changsun Wuji was very deep in the city. Although he was extremely angry, he was able to control his temper and did not explode on the spot. He just looked at Fang Jun coldly, snorted, and walked down the stone steps.
Fang Jun stood with his hands behind his back and said leisurely: "The reason why Duke Zhao bowed his head in front of someone is because he is afraid that after you go on an expedition with His Majesty, someone will be resentful and will be cruel to you princes, right?"
Changsun Wuji stopped, turned to look at Fang Jun, his eyes were unconcealedly sinister, and said every word: "You can do it, as long as I have a hair missing from my husband, I will swear a poisonous oath."
, there will definitely be a reward.”
"hehe."
Fang Jun chuckled lightly, not caring at all that Changsun Wuji's hair was about to stand on end. He took a step forward, met Changsun Wuji's eyes, and said lightly: "It's just that Duke Zhao seems to have forgotten one thing. Since someone is trying to
If we mobilize soldiers to assassinate a certain person and put the blame on you, what if we use the same method to deal with the prince and then put the blame on a certain person?"
Changsun Wuji's eyes narrowed, and Fang Jun had already turned his head, straightened his clothes under the stone steps, and walked into the imperial study.
After standing outside the door for a long time, Changsun Wuji suddenly turned around and walked out.
The drizzle was falling, soaking my clothes and making me feel a little cold.
Chilling to the bone...
…
Fang Jun walked into the imperial study and saw His Majesty Li Er sitting on a chair by the window, slowly sipping tea. He stepped forward and saluted: "We have met Your Majesty."
"Um."
His Majesty Li Er put down his teacup and pointed to the chair in front of him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Fang Jun thanked him and went forward to sit on the chair, but he didn't dare to sit down fully and turned slightly to His Majesty Li Er's side.
In this era, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, how could there be a place for ministers to sit in front of the emperor? Either standing or kneeling, ministers were like slaves in front of the emperor, with no dignity at all...
His Majesty Li Er pointed to the teapot on the coffee table, gestured to Fang Jun to pour some water for himself, and then said: "I will go to Liaodong the day after tomorrow to conduct the expedition myself, while the prince will stay in Chang'an to supervise the country. During this period, your biggest task will be
It is to assist the Jingzhao Mansion in controlling public security in Guanzhong. The transfer of every soldier must be reviewed and approved by the Ministry of War, otherwise it will be regarded as treason and treason and will be severely punished!"
"Here!"
Fang Jun sat upright, not daring to pour water for a drink. Hearing the words, he quickly agreed, but at the same time he was inevitably confused.
It is impossible for Your Majesty to be ignorant of what happened last night. Now that the security of the entire Guanzhong is in his own hands, aren't you afraid that you will use public services to benefit private interests and avenge private interests?
His Majesty Li Er seemed to understand what he was thinking. He glanced at him, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water. He thought about it and said slowly: "A small impatience will ruin a big plan. This expedition to Liaodong is a national war, and it cannot be tolerated."
If there is any mistake, everything must be put aside for the time being. You are my son-in-law and an important minister of the empire. I have high hopes for you. Even if you suffer great grievances now, you must endure it until I return from the Eastern Expedition.
I want you to seek justice."
As an emperor, who controls the whole country, His Majesty Li Er is a sensible person.
He knew how many meritorious deeds Fang Jun had made, and how many grievances Fang Jun had suffered. The several assassinations of Guanlong nobles alone almost killed Fang Jun. However, Fang Jun could endure and not make a big move, just to take care of the overall situation.
, will not affect the smooth progress of the Eastern Expedition.
How could His Majesty Li Er not protect such a loyal minister?
Therefore, I turned a blind eye to Fang Jun's various unworthy behavior and did not care about him. Otherwise, even if this guy went to Princess Changle's Taoist temple yesterday to lure a snake out of its hole, His Majesty Li Er would be furious.
If you are crazy, you have to give him fifty hard blows.
Fang Jun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I know the priorities and will not act out of impulse."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and warned: "It's good if you can remember these words, so that you can assist the prince in supervising the country, and must not make trouble that affects the Eastern Expedition. Although you cannot go to the Liaodong battlefield in person this time, after the victory, I will discuss
The reward for meritorious deeds is indispensable for you."
The various forces in the imperial court were in conflict with each other, and it was unfair that Fang Jun and the Royal Navy could not win meritorious services on the front line this time. However, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the Eastern Expedition, His Majesty Li Er made a compromise, but this did not
It doesn't mean that he will keep hiding it.
The charge into the Liaodong expedition was a credit, but assisting the prince in supervising the country to maintain peace in Guanzhong was also a credit?
His Majesty Li Er was satisfied with Fang Jun's attitude, thought for a while, and said: "What happened last night may not have been done by Zhao Guogong. It was too straightforward and simple, unlike Zhao Guogong's style. You must be careful not to offend others.
