Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1025 The Bad News Comes

Handsome is justice!
Long legs are justice!

What kind of logic is this?

All the officials in the hall were dumbfounded.

Originally, Fang Jun’s mouthful of “justice” was enough to surprise people, but you have the nerve to say that you represent “justice” because you treat the law as nothing?Although I have never bullied men and women to sell officials and nobles, I have done a few good things for the sake of the people. Even if it is not a joke to claim that I represent "justice", it is a bit too arrogant, right?

We learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and we pay attention to the doctrine of the golden mean, so low-key!
And what the hell is "handsome is justice" and "long legs are justice"?

Of course, everyone here is a "non-time traveler", so it is impossible to have such a deep understanding of these two sentences, but no one has delved into the meaning of them, but naturally thought that these were Fang Jun's words to tease Linghu Defen .

Linghu Defen's mouth full of words was blocked in his throat, his eyes were wider than copper bells, and his whole thoughts were messed up in the wind!

What is this crazy talk about?
Oh, you're more handsome than me You're justice?
Your legs are longer than mine, you are justice?

Linghu Defen really wanted to yell: I was also very handsome back then!You black charcoal head has reached my age, let's see if you are still as handsome as me?
He didn't understand the inscrutability of these words, his nose was smoking with anger, he pointed at Fang Jun's nose with a trembling finger, and said angrily: "Nonsense, nonsense, it's just... just..."

The old man was too angry to speak.

He is actually extremely regretful at this moment...

At the court meeting that day, I had to hit the pillar and pretend to be dizzy to escape the catastrophe of face-sweeping. How could I forget the pain at that time before the scar healed?
Unlike the furious Linghu Defen, most of the officials in the hall were laughing out loud at the moment, but it wasn't that kind of roaring laughter, but a slightly suppressed laughter. After all, not everyone had Fang Jun's status and backing, which made everyone laugh. Hu Defen's face should be more or less scrupulous.

No one took Fang Jun's "nonsense" seriously, everyone just thought it echoed Fang Jun's style.Since you don't reason with me and want to rely on the old to sell the old, then don't blame me for slapping you in the face!
Everyone even thinks that Fang Jun just said that I am more handsome than you and have longer legs than you, which is considered to be a face to Linghu Defen. Hit a colonnade?
As for the officials of the Guanlong lineage, they are collectively embarrassed...

Linghu Defen can be regarded as a benchmark of the Guanlong Group above the imperial court, a representative figure, and the position of Minister of Rites is quite high, plus he is extremely active, so he is usually regarded as the leader of the Guanlong Group.

At this moment, the leader is being ridiculed and ridiculed. How can these people look good?

But in the face of Fang Jun's aura and previous outstanding achievements, no one dared to speak out to help Linghu Defen for a while...

Linghu Defen has learned how powerful Fang Jun's poisonous tongue is, and he has been humiliated several times, and he can't accept it.In terms of learning, he dared to say that he was a few blocks away from Fang Jun, but in terms of verbal disputes, the two Linghu Defen were no match!

Why couldn't I hold back and insisted on provoking this stick?

Linghu Defen has no regrets and is in a dilemma.

If the quarrel continues, who knows if this guy will say even worse words?If the flags and drums are silenced, it will give people the feeling of being afraid of Fang Jun.In a dilemma, Linghu Defen couldn't hold back his old face, so he simply tossed his robe sleeves, turned and left with a dark face.

I can't be bothered, I can't hide?
As soon as he walked to the door, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall.

A clerk was sweating profusely and ran in from outside the hall, panicked and almost bumped into Linghu Defen.

Linghu Defen held back his anger, thinking that you are all bullying me for getting old, right?

Angrily said: "What's the proper way to panic? This is the Zhengshitang, not a brothel where you wait for Mianhuasuliu to drink and have fun!"

The clerk jumped, bowed quickly to apologize, panting: "Shangshu Linghu forgive me, I really have a very urgent military situation and want to inform all the prime ministers!"

Someone saw the Hongling urgent report in his hand, and quickly asked: "But where is there an urgent military situation?"

They are all middle-level and high-level officials in the imperial officialdom. Naturally, there is no need to conceal the military situation of this level. The scribe said tragically: "It is precisely that Yanqi, Qiuci and other countries rebelled. Yizhou. Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Anxi, led the army to counterattack, but in Yancheng, the capital of Kucha, he fell into the enemy's strategy to lure the enemy into deep. Half of the tens of thousands of Tang troops entered and fled, and more than half of the tens of thousands of allied forces of various tribes were killed or injured. Guo Xiaoke was severely injured in nine places. , in order to cover His Majesty's retreat, he fought hard and died!"

"hiss!"

There was a sudden sound of breathing in the hall.

Yanqi and Qiuci rebelled?
Guo Xiaoke died in battle?
For a day!

Isn't the entire Western Region lost?
Linghu Defen stood at the door, glaring at the door, shouting hoarsely, "Guo Xiaoke deserves to die, he fell for a trick and killed thousands of my sons, he deserves to die!"

All the officials were silent for a while.

It is true that Guo Xiaoke, as the commander-in-chief, missed the enemy's plan and led to a big defeat. Not only did he kill thousands of Tang Huben, but he also made the imperial court's Western Regions policy a complete failure, which is an unforgivable crime.But Chinese people all pay attention to the "death is the greatest", so Guo Xiaoke even lost his life, so why should he condemn and lash him mercilessly?
Fang Jun snorted, and said lightly: "Be brave when you know your shame. Guo Xiaoke is certainly guilty, but he used his life and blood to wash away his shame. Why should we ridicule and condemn those who sacrificed their lives for the country? Heroic Spirit?"

Linghu Defen was so angry that his lips trembled...

You bastard got into a fight with me today, didn't you?

He wanted to shout and scold him, but thinking about the blow he had just suffered, he decisively shut up and left with his sleeves shaken.

No one paid attention to him, and they all asked the scribe about the battle in the Western Regions.

How did the scribe know so many?After coping for a while, he hurried into the inner hall and reported to several ministers.

Zhang Xingcheng sighed, "Oh! In this way, isn't the situation in the Western Regions extremely corrupt? What a pity!"

If the Western Regions are stable, then Guanzhong is stable.

Although the Western Regions are thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, once there is a disturbance, Guanzhong will be affected.After all, from the Western Regions to Yumen Pass, there is a thousand miles of desert, and a strong cavalry is enough to quickly reach Yumen Pass.And once the Yumen pass falls, they can enter the pass in a short time and threaten Chang'an!

Therefore, as long as the dynasties with Chang'an as their capital have never paid attention to the stability of the Western Regions!
This was true in the Han Dynasty, and even more so in the Tang Dynasty!
As the scribe walked in, there was an exclamation in the inner hall, and I don't know which prime minister made it.However, this is obviously understandable. The serious consequences brought about by the great changes in the situation in the Western Regions are too great. Who would have thought that the hearts of the countries in the Western Regions, which had gradually gathered up, would have such a big change in such a short period of time?

Fang Jun also shook his head and sighed.

A praise for Guo Xiaoke's fierceness is the emotion of being a man of the Tang Dynasty.But in fact, Guo Xiaoke can be said to have no brains at all. If he hadn't been so short-sighted and short-sighted that he was greedy for the profits of the Fangjia restaurant and even abolished the wool workshop, how could the countries in the Western Regions be separated from Germany and give the Turks an opportunity?If it wasn't for his arrogance and arrogance, how could he have encountered such a catastrophe?

Character determines success or failure, sincerity does not deceive me!
*****
Several prime ministers hastily dealt with the matter of the official's pre-year appointment, just went through a simple procedure and announced the end, and then went straight to the Taiji Palace with solemn expressions and hurried steps.

When His Majesty Li Er heard the bad news, he was naturally furious!
Roared loudly: "Guo Xiaoke misunderstood me!"

He smashed the teacup in front of him fiercely. The white porcelain teacup, which was crystal clear like jade, shattered on the hard floor tiles, and the fragments were scattered.

How could he not be angry?
Seeing that the situation in the Western Regions is stable and good, the imperial court can go all out to conquer Goguryeo and achieve its great ambition of being one emperor through the ages!But who would have thought that Guo Xiaoke, who had only been in the Western Regions for a few days, would be so angry that people complained about the rebellion of all countries, and that he would be defeated if he lost troops?

His Majesty Li Er glared at Changsun Wuji: "You are a good candidate!"

Before the rise of the imperial examination, the appointment and removal of officials were mostly based on recommendation.As a recommender, the performance of the recommender will be linked to his political achievements.To put it simply, if Guo Xiaoke's performance is perfect, how can Changsun Wuji's credit book be recorded as a credit; otherwise, Changsun Wuji will also be jointly and severally liable.

Is it okay after the recommendation?
Think beautiful!
Changsun Wuji is also full of bitterness. Guo Xiaoke, a generation of famous generals, who would have expected that once he arrived in the Western Regions, he would be like a horse Fang Nanshan, and he would no longer be under control, which would lead to these things happening?
"Your Majesty, I am guilty and dare not shirk my responsibility. It's just that I should come up with a charter as soon as possible. How to deal with the changes in the Western Regions?"

His Majesty Li Er snorted angrily: "How to deal with it? Of course it's a blood debt!"
