The contents of this memorial really shocked him. This is no longer a question of Fang Jun's talent. Being able to have such a vision and design such a national policy is indeed worthy of His Majesty Li Er's words: "
Zaifu’s talent”!
It is no longer realistic to continue to suppress or slander this memorial.
If he showed it too obviously, he would lose his grace and would definitely cause His Majesty Li Er's displeasure. But he could clearly see how much His Majesty Li Er appreciated this memorial...
But Changsun Wuji was an old fox after all, and he came up with a countermeasure in the blink of an eye.
"Haha, it is truly the most talented person in history. I would like to congratulate Your Majesty!" As he said this, he bowed his hand to His Majesty Li Er with a solemn expression. It seemed that he was really happy that His Majesty Li Er had acquired such a great talent as Fang Jun.
feel happy……
His Majesty Li Er twisted his beard and smiled, very satisfied.
Naturally, he would not be unaware of Changsun Wuji's dislike of Fang Jun. In his opinion, Fang Jun is so outstanding that it threatens Changsun Chong's transcendent status in the next generation. That is why Changsun Wuji reacted like this.
is normal.
Who can be truly unselfish?
If it were not for Fang Jun's rise, Changsun Chong would be the most important training target for the next generation. Power and resources would be tilted towards him, and he would be the future pillar of the empire. But now a competitor like Fang Jun suddenly appears, and he behaves so well.
With such outstanding performance, it’s no wonder that Changsun Wuji isn’t nervous...
As long as there is normal competition, His Majesty Li Er is happy to see the results.
It is true that I have always been optimistic about Chang Sun Chong, and behind Chang Sun Chong stands a giant like Chang Sun Wuji, but Fang Jun is not bad either. Do you really think that the good old Fang Xuanling is a vegetarian?
A moderate amount of competition can promote the growth of talents. His Majesty Li Er naturally knows this truth.
His Majesty Li Er said with a slightly proud smile: "This is a good thing. This country we have worked so hard to build and manage is prosperous and beautiful. Shouldn't it be handed over to the next generation? If the children and grandchildren are incompetent, this beautiful country will be destroyed."
The disaster is so riddled with holes, I'm afraid we will be so angry that we will pick them out of the coffin and give them a good beating! Now the younger generation is excellent and everyone is a talent, it is our blessing!"
Changsun Wuji nodded in agreement, changed the topic, and said: "Wei Chen really appreciates Fang Jun's talent. He also admires this strategy that can control the Western Regions without using a single soldier! But it is precisely because this strategy is so genius
The idea is related to the future national policy of the empire, so I think it would be safer to send a mature and prudent person to preside over the Gaochang Kingdom?"
Blind suppression will not work. Even a blind person can see His Majesty Li Er's admiration for Fang Jun. If he persists in his opinion, it will only arouse His Majesty Li Er's resentment, and may even produce some rebellious feelings, which will be self-defeating.
But we can take a step back. Although your Fang Jun’s strategy is good, if you are not allowed to preside over this strategy, the credit will naturally be greatly reduced...
His Majesty Li Er pondered for a while.
In his heart, he wanted Fang Jun to implement this strategy. After all, he proposed it. Only he could understand the key points during the period. If he sent someone rashly, would he be able to achieve the goal?
What is the most ideal effect?
After Changsun Wuji made the suggestion, he lowered his head and remained silent. It seemed that everything was decided by His Majesty Li Er, but in fact, he put his hand on the tea cup without leaving any trace, and tapped his index finger lightly on the table...
Gao Shilian, who was sitting next to him, twitched his eyelids and said slowly: "I think this is a mature strategy for planning a country, and it is indeed much safer. Gaochang Kingdom is located in the Western Regions. Although it is under the control of the Tang Dynasty, its country
The forces in China are ready to move, and the surrounding enemy countries are watching eagerly. After all, the Marquis of Xinxiang is still young, and it is inevitable that he will be high-spirited when he first takes charge of a place. If he is eager to achieve success, I am afraid that the situation will be unstable and he will miss important events, which will not be good."
Since Changsun Wuji sent a signal for help, how could Gao Shilian not respond?
The uncle and the nephew are of the same spirit, advancing and retreating together.
His Majesty Li Er had to swallow the words that came to his lips...
He could reject the selfish Changsun Wuji, but he had to refute Gao Shilian's face outright, and he had to think carefully about his words.
Fang Jun is talented, but his temper... really worries His Majesty Li Er. As Gao Shilian said, although Gaochang Kingdom is under the control of the Tang Dynasty, the army has withdrawn, and only Shen Ji is left there.
There are two thousand soldiers in the battalion, and the Western Region is surrounded by tigers and wolves. The situation is bad. If an emergency situation is not handled carefully, it will easily lead to enemy attacks and lose the good situation.
But this strategy was proposed by Fang Jun. If he had completed it in Gaochang State, it would have been an unparalleled achievement. But now he has to appoint someone else to do it. It seems a bit like picking peaches, which is unkind...
His Majesty Li Er couldn't make up his mind and couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling, who had been silent.
Fang Xuanling remained silent. When His Majesty Li Er looked over, he smiled slightly and said casually: "Why does your Majesty need to be in trouble? Wei Chen is your Majesty's minister, and Fang Jun is also your Majesty's minister. In the hearts of these ministers,
Only Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty make any decision. I believe that Your Majesty is on the basis of seeking the best interests for the Tang Dynasty, and will accept it calmly. Compared with the future of the empire, personal honor and disgrace are nothing more than a mere personal honor or disgrace.
What does it matter? But please make your decision, Your Majesty!"
What I said is so open!
Not only did His Majesty Li Er lower his head with joy, but even Changsun Wuji wanted to clap his hands and applaud!
What does it mean to be a loyal minister? What does it mean to be upright and upright?
Fang Xuanling is it!
No matter what you think in your heart, what you say is your attitude!
His Majesty Li Er had a plan in mind, and looked at Ma Zhou and Cen Wenwen again, asking: "My dearest ladies, what do you think?"
Cen Wenwen solemnly said: "Your Majesty will make your own decision."
Ma Zhou said, "Sending an experienced person is approved by the ministers. However, this person should have a peaceful temperament and a tactful approach in order to best fit this strategy. The biggest advantage of this strategy is that it can be done step by step. It does take a year or two to see the results."
The effect is very good, but if you carry it out for a long time, you can hide the wind and thunder in silence! Therefore, even if you give in a little at the beginning, it will not affect the overall situation, but it will achieve the miraculous effect of concealing the truth."
His Majesty Li Er admired it from the bottom of his heart. In comparison, Cen Wenwen was inevitably a bit stale and stagnant in officialdom and lost his sharpness; while Ma Zhou, perhaps due to his age or the influence of his background, was more energetic and enterprising!
After a moment of reflection, His Majesty Li Er said: "That being the case, Gaochang Kingdom will be re-planned and included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and Xizhou will be located on its land, and it will lead the five counties of Gaochang, Liuzhong, Jiaohe, Puchang and Tianshan.
Gaochang was governed. The local officials were allowed to be elected by the local people through the "popular election" mentioned in Fang Jun's memorial. They also set up the Anxi Protectorate in Jiaohe and made Qiao Shiwang the first Anxi Protector.
,how?"
Qiao Shiwang was the consort of Princess Luling, the daughter of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty.
He has always been talented and young, but he is low-key, easy-going, and behaves tactfully and cautiously. He is the perfect candidate.
All ministers thought it was good.
Fang Jun's so-called "elected by the people" is not inappropriate in the eyes of everyone. Although Gaochang Kingdom was occupied, in order to maintain local stability, the officials selected must be local officials in the past. As for which one they are, no one cares.
Fang Jun's bad idea was just a trick, but it seemed fairer, more just, and easier for local residents to accept, because it seemed that the appointment and removal of all officials were decided by the residents, and everyone had a vote.
Support or oppose, in this way, you will definitely have a greater sense of identity with the officials who take office.
Once the regulations for the Western Region have been finalized, this discussion has been completed.
Hou Junji will be censored by Dali Temple, but because of his meritorious service, his reputation is only slightly damaged. Naturally, no one can really think of this general who has many military exploits.
It seems that Fang Jun is the only one who suffers.
After all, what he did in Gaochang Kingdom played a great role in stabilizing the situation and contributed a lot. Not to mention the strategy of "making grapes and making sheep eat people" was like a stroke of genius, and it was amazing.
But in the end, an unrelated person was appointed to take charge of the overall situation of the Western Region, which did not benefit Fang Jun himself at all.
However, Fang Xuanling did not show any displeasure.
How could he, who has been in the officialdom for many years, not know that sometimes, suffering a loss is not necessarily a bad thing...
