Changsun Chong was so angry that he didn't care about "crying sadly". He straightened up and retorted: "That's nonsense. In that wild forest, some people heard that His Majesty gave Shenji Camp to you, but never heard that you were given Fang Jun."
, how dare you take it as your own? Taking a step back, even if that piece of land was given to you by His Majesty, you have made it clear to me, and I still give it to you. Why do you humiliate me so much? How can I treat you like this?
Forced to death?"
I thought His Majesty gave that piece of land to the Shenji Camp, so I was very angry when you refused to leave and wanted to take the land back. But if it was really given to you by His Majesty, tell me carefully, do I still want it?
Can I not return it to you? What's more, your noble son will be forced to death just because of a piece of land?
Changsun Chong was also an articulate person. He was not afraid of Fang Jun's anger in the Zhengzheng Palace, so his courage suddenly increased. He seized on the loopholes in Fang Jun's words and immediately launched a counterattack.
Fang Jun looked at Changsun Chong's indignant and plausive words, blinked his eyes, and thought to himself, "Are you going to stop crying?"
That's okay, if you don't cry, I'll cry!
Lying on the ground, Fang Jun howled loudly: "You have really wronged someone... My eldest son-in-law, you are also a man of seven feet, how come you are so hypocritical and you are not as good as a woman? You took over someone's house and injured me."
After killing a certain person's servant, I went to you to ask for an explanation. You actually ordered the Shenji camp's muskets and crossbows to be pointed at so-and-so, intending to kill him on the spot. Do you dare to admit it? When the Shenji camp was first established, the imperial government financed it.
Forbidden to see, it was a certain person who lost his family and wealth and invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to establish the Shenji Camp. Your Majesty saw that a certain person was loyal to the country and could not bear to see a certain person go bankrupt and have no place to live, so he gave him the gift.
You want to give someone a piece of land to live in. Your son-in-law, the son-in-law of the eldest son, is trying to take away someone’s last place to live. Isn’t this pushing someone to a dead end? Your Majesty, the son-in-law of the eldest son is vicious.
Kill them all, Your Majesty! You shine thousands of miles away, discern every detail, and are wise and powerful. Please make the decision for me, otherwise, I will not survive..."
Changsun Chong's face turned pale with anger!
Why the hell am I a victim? What do you have to cry about? And crying so fakely is really unqualified...
His Majesty Li Er sat on the throne in a daze, looking at the two men in front of him, one crying more fiercely than the other, one more reasonable than the other, and one more aggrieved than the other. He only felt that his brain ached and his eyes went black.
, almost mad to death!
"Shut up for the hell, do you want to make noise to death?" His Majesty Li Er's face turned red from suppressing his anger and he shouted loudly.
Fang Jun immediately shut up and remained prone...
Changsun Chong didn't dare to speak out, but he felt more and more depressed and uncomfortable! He was the one who suffered the loss. This bastard was also very good at confusing right and wrong, and he actually turned things around. He seemed to be the heinous villain.
Even Li Chengqian was frightened by His Majesty Li Er's voice...
Rubbing his forehead, His Majesty Li Er felt quite embarrassed.
Even though these two bastards seem to have very confusing explanations, the context is actually very clear.
But when it comes to who is right and who is wrong, it is not so clear.
The cause of the matter was Chang Sun Chong. His Majesty Li Er didn't know what kind of madness this nephew and son-in-law had. He took over Fang Jun's manor and injured his servant. His Majesty Li Er glared at Chang Sun Chong with hatred.
, you said you were full, why did you provoke this stick?
If it ends here, it must be Changsun Chong's fault and he must bear full responsibility.
But the question is, is Fang Jun a character who can suffer the disadvantage of being dumb?
This guy rushed to the scene, beheaded the captain of the Shenji Battalion, and severely injured Zhang Jin. By the way, he was also the nephew of His Majesty Li Er. Although he was not close, he was still a relative after all, right?
What's the result? I'll beat you with a mallet without any negotiation!
The most outrageous thing is that he dragged his eldest grandson like a dead dog in the snow for a long distance, in front of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion...
This matter has a huge impact!
Changsun Chong is the commander-in-chief of the army, so humiliating him like this is a taboo in the army! Just imagine, how will Changsun Chong maintain his majesty in front of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and how will he give orders to the sergeants?
From this aspect, Fang Jun went too far!
but……
Everything happens for a reason. If Changsun didn't provoke Fang Jun, how could he be humiliated by Fang Jun in turn?
Everyone has responsibilities, but it is difficult to distinguish the priorities.
However, what really troubles His Majesty Li Er is not this, but the embarrassment of his face as an emperor...
Why do you say that?
At the beginning, when Shenji Camp was taken away from Fang Jun and handed over to Changsun Chong, he did have his own selfish motives. After all, Changsun Chong watched him grow up. Although he also valued and admired Fang Jun, he was not emotionally involved.
That being said, it is still one level behind after all.
The Shenji Battalion's great power in the Western Regions relied on the advent of firearms. Fang Jun was indispensable for this. It was precisely because of the firearms developed by Fang Jun that the Shenji Battalion came into being.
However, when people accept a new thing, it is always accompanied by more or less mistakes, which is inevitable. His Majesty Li Er attaches great importance to the Shenji Camp and firearms, but he does not pay attention to the impact of firearms on the army brought by this new thing.
A change in tactics. So he naively believed that no matter who hands the Shenji Battalion to, it would have the same power as before.
This unit with astonishing combat power must be strictly controlled by oneself. Compared with Fang Jun and Changsun Chong, the latter makes His Majesty Li Er more at ease...
However, now it seems that this idea is indeed wrong.
Changsun Chong may have excellent abilities in government affairs, but as an army commander, he is obviously not qualified.
This is not a question of ability, but of character.
Changsun Chong's character is not suitable for development in the military...
However, Fang Jun dragged his eldest son Chong to come to the imperial court to beat the drums and report the imperial oath. In the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, this was to give himself eye drops and prevent him from getting off the stage.
Didn’t you hand over Shenji Camp to Changsun Chong?
How about it? The original group of tigers and wolves has now been trained into a group of sheep by him. We can single-handedly humiliate the commander of the Shenji Battalion among thousands of soldiers. Now you see, who is stronger?
There is no need to discuss who is stronger, but is His Majesty Li Er willing to slap himself in the face?
Certainly not!
Therefore, he threw this problem to Li Chengqian...
"Prince, in your opinion, how should these two bastards be dealt with?" His Majesty Li Er suppressed his anger and looked at Li Chengqian.
The father is in trouble, and the son is willing to do his job. You go ahead...
Li Chengqian was a little dumbfounded and looked at His Majesty Li Er in astonishment, Dad, are you being unreasonable? If you find it difficult, just pass the blame to me?
His Majesty Li Er was stroking his beard, his face expressionless.
Who calls you a son?
If you don’t go up, who will?
Li Chengqian was speechless, looking back at his brother-in-law and his future brother-in-law, with expressions of constipation on their faces...
How to dispose of it?
Changsun Chong has been playing with me since he was a child, and they have a good friendship; Fang Jun is kind to me and has a deep friendship. The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, and I feel sorry for punishing anyone. What should I do?
But it’s no good if you don’t express your opinion. Dad is watching from behind...
With nothing to do, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said: "Chang Sun Chong invaded Fang Jun's house rudely first and injured Fang Jun's servants. Fang Jun then humiliated Chang Sun Chong in the army and violated the majesty of the general. The two of them
They all have their faults. In my opinion, what would my father think if they were removed from their positions and ordered to shut themselves up and think about their mistakes?"
Logically speaking, Li Chengqian's approach of playing fifty big games each is very appropriate.
In his opinion, Changsun Chong was humiliated by Fang Jun in the army and was disgraced. How could he lead the Shenji Battalion in the future? It would be better to simply order him to be dismissed than to be embarrassed in the army in the future. As for Fang Jun, what does this guy think about that guy?
He was completely uninterested in the false title of Minister of Rites. Li Chengqian knew about this and just dismissed him from this position.
In this way, both of them were dealt with, and no one was offended. It was perfect!
Li Chengqian was quite proud of himself. He raised the corner of his mouth to look at His Majesty Li Er, only to find that His Majesty Li Er's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, and he was about to be furious with lightning and thunder...
Li Chengqian was so frightened that he didn't know what was wrong?
But he was negligent. He did not offend Changsun Chong and Fang Jun, but he offended his father...
What does His Majesty Li Er pay most attention to in this life?
Two words: reputation!
Even though this man had done many evil things, he cared about his reputation after his death. This is evident from the fact that he was able to manipulate the historian to change his daily notes without authorization after Wei Zheng's death. For the sake of reputation, Li Er didn't care about anything!
Li Chengqian handled the situation appropriately, but the problem is that by withdrawing Changsun Chong's Shenji Camp Admiral, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting to the outside world that he made a mistake in abandoning Fang Jun and choosing Changsun Chong? Regardless of what the outside world says, Fang Jun alone is a
The kid will be so proud!
Why does this bastard insist on filing a lawsuit today? Doesn’t he just want to embarrass me!
His Majesty Li Er glared at Li Chengqian and scolded: "That's nonsense! As a prince, you should be fair and honest in dealing with things. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. How can you just mess around and get rid of things? If everything is handled like this in the future,
How can I convince the world? Go back to the East Palace immediately and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. If you don’t understand, don’t come out to see others!”
I'm really angry. Does my son also want to embarrass me and not get off stage?
This is simply unreasonable!
Li Chengqian's face was red and his ears were red, and he was frightened. He said slowly: "My son, please obey..."
His Majesty Li Er turned back and stared at the two bastards in front of him, and said coldly: "Changsun Chong is narrow-minded. He knew clearly that the wild forest was the land I gave to Fang Jun, but he sent troops to occupy it, forcibly expelled the Fang family's servants, and injured them. Now,
, I will punish you with fifty whippings, if I don’t do it next time, will you be convinced?”
Changsun Chong said helplessly: "Wei Chen takes the order."
Fifty lashes, even the guards who wanted to carry out the execution did not dare to hurt him. They were afraid that every piece of good flesh on his body would prevent him from getting out of bed for a month... Changsun Chong was most afraid of pain. When he thought about the miserable situation, he couldn't help but
Shiver.
His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun again: "Although Changsun Chong was at fault first, you are resentful and ruthless, which is not the behavior of a gentleman. I will also punish you with fifty lashes. If you don't follow suit next time, are you convinced?"
Li Chengqian stood in a daze, his mind a little confused, and he looked at his father with some resentment...
