Chapter 740: So embarrassing (10,000 words for the moon)
At the same time that Yu Ming stepped into Fang Jun's room, the battle report jointly signed by Li Ke and Fang Jun was rushed to the capital by the war horse Eight Hundred Miles. At that time, hundreds of officials went to court, and the messenger went to the Taiji Palace to knock on the door, shouting a great victory.
, which immediately caused an uproar in the main hall.
"Big victory?"
"How is that possible? Aren't the guys in the second room all surrounded?"
"That is, if tens of thousands of people surround him and there are hundreds of people around him, it is not bad if he does not die, but he still wins a big victory?"
"This guy has always been bold. Could it be that he lied about military information?"
"Most likely……"
There was a lot of noise and discussion in the main hall, and most of them did not believe that Fang Jun could turn defeat into victory.
Tens of thousands of people were under siege, and there were no strong soldiers inside or outside. The situation was already precarious. Even if he could escape alone, it was almost impossible. How could he win? It must be that this kid was lucky enough to receive reinforcements and save his life.
But it was really embarrassing to fall into despair just after arriving in Jiangnan, so this guy pretended to be false and lied about the military situation.
This son has always been bold. Relying on his status as prime minister, son-in-law and emperor's son-in-law, what can't he dare to do?
At that time, Liu Lei, the censor of the imperial court, came out to announce: "Your Majesty, how can Huatinghou turn defeat into victory when he is trapped in a tight siege? Even if he wins, reinforcements must have arrived to disperse the chaos, and it has nothing to do with Huatinghou.
Your Majesty, please tell me clearly that if you lie about military information, please follow the national laws and military disciplines and punish him for the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Immediately there were ministers in the palace who agreed.
Fang Xuanling remained silent, he hadn't seen the battle report yet, why are you jumping up and down?
Cen Wenwen had always disliked Liu Lei's attitude toward Qin Muchu, and said coldly: "You have to read the battle report before you can decide what is right or wrong. Is it possible that Liu Yushi has already seen the content of the battle report, so he is so sure?"
Liu Lei ignored Cen Wenwen's sarcasm and smiled lightly without replying.
The matter is obvious, what's the point of arguing at this time? No matter how colorful this battle report is, Fang Jun can't really turn defeat into victory!
The Wuxun Group collectively remained silent, and their mood was the most complicated.
They regard Fang Jun as a member of their own side and hope that he can achieve something in Jiangnan to enhance the influence of Wu Xun Group. They also hope that Fang Jun will really lose his life, so that the court will treat Jiangnan mercenaries and Wu Xun
The group's interests can be maximized...
His Majesty Li Er had no intention of paying attention to the bickering among the ministers. He felt vaguely that his previous speculation was very likely to come true, and he said impatiently: "Send it over!"
A eunuch trotted in the battle report from outside the main hall and presented it to the chamberlain beside His Majesty. The chamberlain took the battle report with a red feather and bowed to present it to His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand to take it. He first carefully checked the sealing paint to see if there was anything unusual. Then he used the paper knife on the imperial desk to pick up the sealing paint, took out the letter paper, and looked at it carefully.
After a long time, His Majesty Li Er breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the ministers who were all looking at him, and casually handed the battle report to the chamberlain beside him, and asked it to be handed over to Fang Xuanling not far away.
Fang Jun is the son of Fang Xuanling. He is surrounded and his life is in danger. As a father, he is naturally anxious. After reading the battle report, it is reasonable for His Majesty to hand him over to Fang Xuanling first. Furthermore, Fang
As the prime minister, Xuanling is also qualified to be the first to watch after His Majesty.
Everyone was watching Fang Xuanling's expression, trying to figure out the content of this battle report from the changes in his expression. As a result, Fang Xuanling's old face was expressionless, and there was no sign of relief, and even more so.
No sadness can be seen.
Did Fang Jun die, escape, or really win a great victory?
It's impossible no matter how you think about it...
After reading the battle report, Fang Xuanling sighed in her heart. Sure enough...
A few days ago, Your Majesty said that this kid is very clever. How could he easily fall into trouble and put his life in danger? Sure enough, he saved a trick. When the whole world has no way to save him, he will fight hard to turn defeat into victory. In this way, he can make himself win.
His reputation is world-famous, and his great achievements in pacifying the rebels in Shanyue are even more powerful in the south of the Yangtze River. And according to the superstition attached to the battle report by His Highness the King of Wu and the traitor, the traitor was assisted by elite soldiers and soldiers sent by the major families in the south of the Yangtze River.
After the Shanyue people, they took action boldly and massacred all the dead soldiers sent by the Jiangnan nobles in one fell swoop.
This was nothing less than a blow to the head, a severe blow to the arrogance of the Jiangnan gentry. Just like the generals raised by the Fang family at Lishan Farm, every family would have some private soldiers, more or less, used to do some secret work.
Jiangnan is outside the center, and the laws are difficult to enforce. The competition for interests between the nobles and the means of dealing with civilians are all inseparable from elite soldiers. The traitor has suddenly wiped out the family wealth that the Jiangnan nobles have supported for many years.
Most of...
But the most important thing is, where did this traitor get an armored cavalry?
Although there are many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, there are also many plains. This armored cavalry is simply a big killer weapon. It can give enough deterrence to the nobles in the south of the Yangtze River, so that they will definitely be wary of similar actions in the future and dare not do whatever they want.
It can be said that with just this battle, the traitor opened up the situation. The Jiangnan nobles no longer dared to act openly and unscrupulously. What means they had could only be used in the dark and invisible, and the effect was naturally greatly reduced.
My unicorn!
Fang Xuanling was relieved, but naturally also distressed and full of resentment towards her son.
If you say you want to keep one hand, just keep one hand. It's understandable that you don't want to say it. Who would have expected that someone would secretly inform the Jiangnan nobles to take precautions? If the dead soldiers of the Jiangnan nobles hadn't been completely wiped out, this would have been possible.
Naturally, this victory will be greatly reduced. But you can't compose a song like "I'm not afraid of being broken into pieces" and the right song "Be born as a hero", which made His Majesty's heart agitated and moved. Now His Majesty has seen through your evil thoughts. In the past,
Being moved and gratified has all turned into a faux pas. You have fooled me around. How can this make His Majesty feel so embarrassed?
The most outrageous thing is that I wrote another song "Niannujiao" this time...
At this time, the battle report had already passed through time into Ma Zhou's hands. Ma Zhou was young and inexperienced, so he had too much dignity to worry about. After reading the battle report, he read out the poem attached to the end by Fang Jun in a mellow tone...
"When the great river goes to the east, the waves are swept away, and the romantic figures of the ages. To the west of the fort, the way of humanity is, the red cliff of Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms. The rocks are pierced through the sky, the waves are crashing on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow are rolled up. The country is picturesque.
,? How many heroes were there at one time? I think back to Gong Jin's time, when Xiao Qiao got married for the first time, with majestic appearance and feather fan and silk scarf, while talking and laughing, the oars and oars disappeared into ashes. I wandered in my homeland, and I was so affectionate that I should have laughed at me, so I was born early.
Life is like a dream, one statue still shines in the moonlight..."
After reading it, Ma Zhou clicked his tongue, shook his head and thought about it, and praised: "This poem is a masterpiece. I think it will be sung for a hundred generations! The feather fan and silk scarf, while talking and laughing, the cannons and oars disappeared into ashes...
…Tsk, tsk, how majestic, Marquis Huating!”
After sighing, Ma Zhou turned around and bowed to His Majesty Li Er, saying loudly: "I congratulate Your Majesty! The Marquis of Huating is so powerful in the south of the Yangtze River that his power is small, but he is actually a famous general of the Tang Dynasty! And the gift of literature and art is enough to be passed down to future generations.
The great poems and famous works can be found at your fingertips, which further demonstrates the prosperity of the literary style of the Tang Dynasty. We are both civilized and military, and our loyalty is unparalleled. The Tang Dynasty is very lucky!"
Ma Zhou was already on good terms with Fang Jun. Although he had a serious personality, he was still tactful. How could he miss the opportunity to rectify Fang Jun's name? Naturally, he had to make great efforts to advocate for it.
Among the courtiers, some were friends with Fang Xuanling, some were friends with Fang Jun, and of course there were also some who were flattering... Seeing Ma Zhou open his eyes to Fang Jun like this, he was naturally happy to be a favor. Besides, then,
Fang Jun is still the emperor's son-in-law! Just from the luxurious and grand wedding not long ago, it can be seen that the emperor valued Fang Jun.
As a result, there were endless flattering voices and flattering words in the main hall, and they all described Fang Jun as a famous minister with both civil and military skills that is rare in heaven and rare on earth. With this minister, the Tang Dynasty can protect the country for thousands of years.
Prosperous for a hundred generations, it can be said that the ancient Guan Zhong was resurrected, and Yi Yin was reborn...
Fang Xuanling's eyelids twitched and she looked at His Majesty Li Er guiltily. It was so embarrassing.
His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting on the throne, twitched the corner of his mouth and stared at Ma Zhou with a faint look...
Ma Zhou, who felt that he should say more good things for Fang Jun, suddenly felt chills all over his body, as if he was being stared at by some wild beast. He raised his head suspiciously and watched in private, and met His Majesty the Emperor's eyes with profound and incomprehensible meaning.
Ma Zhou suddenly shivered and felt that something was not right.
But he looked confused, not knowing what was wrong...
