Chapter 875: The emperor’s procrastination technique [ten thousand words]
"Your Majesty, Fang Jun secretly mobilized troops to break into Suzhou City. This is a serious crime!"
"Your Majesty, the laws of the country are ruthless, how can you abolish public service for private reasons?"
"Fang Jun must be severely punished!"
…
For a moment, the crowd in the court was furious, with everyone shouting and beating him.
His Majesty Li Er puffed up his breath and glanced downwards. When he saw the old god Changsun Wuji, he bowed his head without saying a word, while the old man Fang Xuanling was sick and recuperating, and he suddenly became very angry.
After something big happened with your son, you patted your butt and went home to hide in peace and let me wipe your son's butt?
He wanted to excuse Fang Jun, but how could he excuse such a thing?
"The laws of the Tang Dynasty are strict and cannot be blasphemed. Whether Fang Jun is guilty or not is not something you can just open your mouth and say. In this way, the imperial court issued an edict, ordering Fang Jun to return to Beijing immediately and go to Dali Temple for questioning. If he really pleads guilty,
, then Dali Temple will convict you again!”
In desperation, His Majesty Li Er used the most tried-and-tested magic weapon in officialdom - the dragging technique!
If Fang Jun was smart, he should have found a place to hide now, right?
If you are still foolish enough to stay in Huating Town, then you can blame me for not protecting you...
Everyone quarreled for a long time, and they were shocked to find that His Majesty Li Er was acting rogue, and they were all very angry. This favoritism was too obvious, it was too much! However, His Majesty Li Er's words were irrefutable. They all said that Fang Jun was wrong, but at that time
Who knows what happened? Did the Gu family really risk their lives to break out of the encirclement, so they had to take a fatal blow? Are there some temporary emergencies that are not known to everyone?
Therefore, Fang Jun's incident has a great impact, but it also leaves no room for manipulation.
His Majesty Li Er's method is to deal with it coldly. If it is delayed for a period of time, it will definitely fade away. These aristocratic families want to punish Fang Jun severely because of the death of rabbits and foxes. There is no direct conflict of interest with each other. Who would work tirelessly to protect the Gu family?
?
Seeing that the court was about to disperse, Changsun Wuji stood up.
"Since Your Majesty has recalled Fang Jun to Chang'an, regardless of whether he is guilty or not, there must be someone to take charge of the overall situation during the period when he leaves Huating Town. Please also designate a minister to take over the affairs of the City Shipping Department and other departments.
In order to avoid causing panic, the good situation before may be wasted.”
Ma Zhou, who was standing aside silently, raised his eyes and glanced at Changsun Wuji, then lowered his head calmly.
This is the real ruthless man, he pinched Fang Jun's seven inches in one move!
I'm afraid that His Majesty will issue an edict to recall Fang Jun, and this is also part of Zhao Guogong's plan, right? He has been keeping calm, letting others make noises, but at the most critical moment, he has made the final decision...
Everyone knows that Huating Town is extremely rich now, so who wouldn’t want to pounce on it and take a bite?
As long as Changsun Wuji proposes this motion, countless envious people will follow and automatically charge for him...
Ma Zhou secretly sighed, he was still much younger. In terms of his ability to handle government affairs, he thought he was no worse than anyone else, but when it came to understanding people's hearts and making plans in silence, he was really far behind.
Perhaps, only Fang Xuanling, who has always been non-competitive, can be on par with them...
Things were just as Ma Zhou imagined, and the court once again became noisy.
If the clamor for severe punishment of Fang Jun just now was just to prepare for the potential crisis of the family, now there are huge interests at stake, and everyone is going into battle naked, scrambling to be the first!
Huating Town is Fang Jun's fiefdom. For the time being, His Majesty has no intention of severely punishing Fang Jun. Even if he punishes Fang Jun, it won't hurt his roots. Huating Town is a big piece of meat that can't be eaten, but there is still a Shibo Division!
Everyone knows that most of the Jiangnan nobles and merchants have now sided with Fang Jun. As long as the Shipping Company starts operating, it will be a super huge cornucopia! Think about the huge profits of sea trade, as long as half of the Jiangnan nobles and merchants
What kind of huge profits will it be if your own goods are transferred by the shipping company?
It is true that the taxes paid by nobles and merchants will eventually enter the national treasury, but so much money flows through your hands, even if you just touch your hands, they will be fat!
The ministers in the court each held their own opinions, praising their favorite candidates to the extreme, and slandering the candidates proposed by others...
There was a stalemate for a while.
His Majesty Li Er was not worried, he just sat calmly and leisurely, with his eyes half open and half closed, not knowing whether he was taking a nap or thinking about something.
The ministers quarreled for a while, and suddenly felt that something was not right in the atmosphere. Looking up, they saw that His Majesty the Emperor was leisurely and leisurely, as if the matter had nothing to do with him and was aloof from other things. The ministers were a little embarrassed, knowing that they looked a bit ugly.
, I lost points in front of His Majesty. But then again, this is a huge fat loss. Who can just watch it fall into other people's pockets? If you let this job slip away from your eyes, don't say whether you feel bad or not.
I won’t be able to explain it to the whole family after I go back...
The hall became quiet, and His Majesty Li Er opened his eyelids and asked, "Are you done with the quarrel?"
No one spoke, they all bowed their heads in embarrassment and remained silent.
His Majesty Li Er said calmly: "Then let me wait for you to debate and come up with a choice, and then I will make the decision. How about that? Just quit the court!"
After saying that, he stood up from the throne with a cold face, flicked his robe sleeves, and strode away.
The ministers in the main hall looked at each other and expressed their regrets.
Your Majesty actually used this trick again - dragging!
If this matter is dragged on and on, it may become a mess. Who knows what will happen to Fang Jun after he is recalled to the capital? There is no need to think about beheading, His Majesty is reluctant to bear it, and it is impossible to remove the title. Fang Xuanling and Princess Gaoyang's
Face still needs to be given.
Then, will there be any changes in the position of Canghaidao Marching Chief?
Everyone suddenly remembered that there is a deputy general manager waiting for his position in Huating Town. If Fang Jun is deprived of his position as general manager, the possibility of the deputy general manager directly reinforcing him is very high. After all, regardless of Zhang Liang's reputation, qualifications or
His abilities are all top-notch, so when he becomes the general manager, he can convince everyone.
Oops, what a mistake!
This Zhang Liang is so weird. Even if he is sure that something will happen to Fang Jun, he will not come back even if he is humiliated by Fang Jun in Huating Town and loses his face to his grandma's house?
*****
The night was vast, and the heavy rain that swept across Jiangdong finally stopped pattering, but the sky was filled with dark clouds, without stars or moon.
Several warships are floating outside the wharf of Huating Town and have been parked for many days.
A dim oil lamp lit up in the cabin, and a faint halo shone through the portholes on the dark river surface. The water sparkled and the golden light shone.
In the cabin, Zhang Liang held a wine glass with a contented look on his face and asked a Taoist priest in front of him: "Have you arranged for someone to deliver the letter?"
The Taoist priest was about fifty years old and short in stature. He stood there with his hands above his knees. His face was weathered but he was energetic. He respectfully replied: "We have arranged for the trusted followers to be sent out. The poor Taoist has already told me that no matter what happens on the road,
You don’t need to pay any attention to it, you just need to send this letter to Duke Zhao’s house as quickly as possible.”
Zhang Liang nodded with a smile and greeted him affectionately: "Come on, come on, let's have a few drinks with me. I've told you so many times that when no one is around in private, you just need to relax a little and speak more casually. My handsome
He is not a harsh person."
"Haha, how about a drink?"
The Taoist priest was not humble and sat down with a smile. Seeing that Zhang Liang's wine cup was still full, he poured himself a glass, raised it and said: "This glass is police commander... Oh no, the chief manager will be here soon."
Well, congratulations to the General Manager for his rise to the top, shining brightly in the history books, for working hard for the Tang Dynasty and for Your Majesty, and creating new achievements!"
"Hey! How can you say this nonsense? It's nonsense. Be more steady, be more steady." He said so modestly, but Zhang Liang's face was clearly full of pride and arrogance. Where is the slightest bit of low-key and steady?
He feels so beautiful now that he almost wants to sing loudly!
I just didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, that Fang Jun was probably used to being arrogant and acting more and more carelessly, since he could do such stupid things!
Don't you know that if you destroy a Gu family, you are making enemies of all the aristocratic families in the world? It's sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad. Your Majesty has clearly been suppressing the influence of the aristocratic families in the past few years, and you have come here again with such cruelty.
Yes, I'm afraid that the family members are about to explode now!
