"In this Western Expedition, we achieved great success in two sniper attacks on the Turkic Wolf Cavalry. It really increased the military power of the Tang Dynasty, intimidated the Western Regions, and shocked the frontiers. It can be said to be a first-class military achievement!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, His Majesty Li Er set the tone for Fang Jun's performance and obviously admired it very much.
If it had been in the past, Fang Jun would have taken the opportunity to act cute and ask for a big reward for whatever he said. But now that he has made up his mind, he feels more and more aggrieved.
Although after Li Ji's advice, I understood the principle of dealing with things calmly, who said that I can't hold back my aggrieved feelings?
But he had already made a plan, so he said: "The Tang army is so majestic, and the barbarians are dormant. The humble ministers just happened to meet at the right time, and they don't dare to be praised by your majesty."
His Majesty Li Er was slightly stunned. He seemed to be very surprised that Fang Jun was so humble and low-key. According to common sense, shouldn't this guy be so arrogant that he should be rewarded for his merits?
I guess Li Ji must have already told me about the arrangements for the Shenji Camp. Not only is this guy not angry, nor is he asking for rewards, he looks very calm. There is something wrong with this...
After pondering for a moment, His Majesty Li Er said: "Presumably, the British Duke has already told you?"
"Yes." Fang Jun said calmly.
"Come to think of it, you must be a little unhappy, right?" His Majesty Li Er asked, paying attention to Fang Jun's expression. Today, I always felt that this boy was acting a little different from before.
"Wei Chen dare not."
Fang Jun did not show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction, and was as calm as if he was talking about other people's affairs: "Father is the guide for his son, and the king is the guide for his ministers. If the king asks the minister to die, the minister has to die, let alone a mere official position? Your Majesty,
Too worried..."
His Majesty Li Er clicked his tongue and found that all his words were blocked by this boy.
I thought this kid had really reformed, but it turned out that he still had anger in his heart, and the anger was not small. He even said "you told me to die, but I had to die". Who told you to die? It's just
I'm just giving up the position of Admiral of the Shenji Battalion. Besides, I'm not letting you give it up in vain. There will definitely be some compensation...
What's more, what does it mean for me to be too worried?
Why am I so worried?
Staring at Fang Jun angrily, His Majesty Li Er said: "The decision to give up the Shenji Camp was made after much consideration. I also know that you have put a lot of effort into the Shenji Camp, and the results are excellent.
It was unexpected, as the two defeats of the Turkic Wolf Cavalry proved this. I take a good liking to you, so I decided to put an extra burden on you, hoping that you would..."
"Your Majesty!" Fang Jun interrupted His Majesty Li Er somewhat rudely and bowed: "Why does Your Majesty need to explain this to Wei Chen? For Your Majesty, Wei Chen has great respect and loyal admiration in his heart, and is willing to follow His Majesty's footsteps and conquer
Four seas, open up eight wastelands! His Majesty's words are golden rules. No matter what the decision is, the ministers are willing to accept it without any complaints. However, this western expedition has a long journey, difficult conditions, and is physically and mentally exhausted from two wars.
Weichen has been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child, but it is really hard for him. Therefore, I sincerely request Your Majesty to allow me to resign from all official positions and go home to rest, so that I can serve Your Majesty till the end of my life!"
His Majesty Li Er was stunned.
This is not Fang Jun’s style...
Are you playing this trick with me?
To be honest, His Majesty Li Er was a little annoyed. Although Shenji Battalion was indeed established by Fang Jun, and after actual combat testing, its combat effectiveness was indeed strong. It was a good way for infantry to fight against cavalry, and it was likely to change the entire world.
The Tang Dynasty's war method has great merits!
But I am the emperor!
I want you to give up the Shenji Camp. You can be dissatisfied, but by giving up your choice like this, are you expressing your resentment towards me?
But His Majesty Li Er really can't let go of this fire.
He is indeed overbearing and has no mercy towards his disobedient ministers. But at the same time, he is also reasonable. Otherwise, Wei Zheng alone would have been hacked to death by His Majesty Li Er countless times...
This matter is indeed very unfair to Fang Jun, so His Majesty Li Er cannot show his attitude of punishing you if you disobey. And he also knows that Fang Jun’s stubbornness was brought from his mother’s womb, and he is so stubborn. , I couldn’t tell the truth, so I just left my job and went home, not doing anything else!
If this happens, wouldn't it be rumored throughout the court that I treated Fang Jun, a man of outstanding merit, harshly for the sake of my son-in-law and nephew, Changsun Chong?
For His Majesty Li Er who cherishes his reputation very much, this consequence is absolutely not something he is willing to bear.
It doesn't matter if you get angry, nor does it mean comfort.
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er is in a rare dilemma...
Staring at the black face in front of him that was pretending to be calm and calm, His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth and wished he could kick this bastard away!
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I have made a decision regarding the Shenji Camp and it cannot be changed. Tell me, how will you stay?"
This is used when His Majesty Li Er is saying: Boy, Jun Wuxi, why don’t you make some conditions!
Fang Jun was ecstatic in his heart. As expected, the child who could make trouble would be fed milk. He neither swallowed the appointment nor resisted loudly. He always retreated before advancing, and showed his dissatisfaction appropriately. His Majesty Li Er really ordered Gave in...
He was proud in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He pretended to be indifferent and said: "Just do whatever your Majesty orders, and all the ministers will obey your orders."
His Majesty Li Er narrowed his eyes and held back the anger in his heart: "Are you serious?"
"Uh..." Fang Jun thought for a while and felt that a smart man like His Majesty Li Er should not play too many tricks. His Majesty Li Er felt that it didn't matter if he used a little trick. After all, Fang Jun was the victim, but if he passed If you piss off this Tyrannosaurus Rex, you won't be able to eat it. This one will turn his head and look uglier than pockmarks...
Then he quickly said: "Your Majesty, have you ever remembered the promise you made to your humble minister?"
My promise to you?
His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment before he remembered something like this: "Canghai Road?"
"Exactly."
I think back then, you agreed to let me serve as the commander-in-chief of the Canghaidao Marching Army. You have absorbed all the benefits, so you can't delay it again and again, right?
"I am the lord of all peoples, so I will never forget the words of Chrysostom."
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and felt disgusted in his heart when he saw the uncontrollable joy in Fang Jun's eyes.
Mother!
You brat actually dare to threaten me and bargain with me?
After thinking about it, he said calmly: "It's just that the time has not yet come to appoint you as the chief marching manager of Canghaidao..."
Fang Jun almost scolded his mother!
What does it mean that the time has not come?
You are the emperor, you can do it if you say it’s okay, or if you don’t!
Who are you fooling?
Then he stiffened his neck and said: "That humble minister requested to resign from his official position, retire and return to his hometown..."
When His Majesty Li Er heard this, he almost laughed out of breath. He grabbed a writing brush on the table and threw it towards Fang Jun. He cursed: "You are talking nonsense. Believe it or not, I will skin you?" How old do you think you are when you are young? It is really unreasonable!
Fang Jun caught the brush steadily, but unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er took the brush out from the inkstone and was filled with ink. Although he caught the brush, he was splashed with ink... He stretched out his hand and wiped it,
Immediately I got a big face.
But he showed no sign of weakness in his words: "Your Majesty broke his word and promised to appoint Wei Chen as the general manager of the Canghaidao March. How long has it been? Let Wei Chen develop new firearms and create new tactics of the Shenji Battalion, but in the end
But if you beat Wei Chen to the end, how can Wei Chen not be sad?"
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Mother! Who is going to beat you to the end? It's just a change of position. You are a small official of the third rank and the size of a cat. I will mention you as the Minister of Etiquette in one fell swoop.
, that is a first-class courtier who is given a purple robe, are you still not satisfied?"
That's right, His Majesty Li Er gave the post of Admiral of the Shenji Camp to Changsun Chong. The compensation for Fang Jun was the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Of course, it was just a false title. The actual title was Minister of the Ministry of Rites, which sounded better than Minister of the Ministry of Works...
Fang Jun curled his lips.
This official is really good at talking. From the third rank, he was as big as a cat. He rose up one level and became the third rank minister. He seemed to be flying from the ground to the sky. He was shameless...
Although it has always been Fang Jun's wish to wear a purple robe, a false title of Minister of Rites is still a minister at the moment. If he wants power but no power or power, what is the use of a fool? You know, even though he is called Minister of Rites,
In fact, it is just a false title, used to enjoy the treatment of the Minister of Rites. There are three or four people in the court who are awarded the title of Minister of Rites at the same time, and there are even more ministers of the Ministry of War. Hou Junji is the Minister of the Ministry of War, so is Li Ji, and Li Jing is still...
