Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1345 Li Er's Response

Inside the Dragon Hall, the lights are bright.

His Majesty Li Er ordered the maid to make a pot of tea, sat by the window and listened to the pattering rain outside, sipping slowly, waiting for Li Junxian's reply.

The rain is not heavy, it falls on the glazed tiles on the ridge, and then condenses into a stream, dripping down the eaves, splashing on the bluestone slabs under the eaves in front of the window, which is very pleasant.

After driving away all the maids and servants, His Majesty Li Er sat quietly alone, thinking a lot...

There were soft footsteps outside the hall, and Wang De, the chief servant, led Li Junxian in.

Li Junxian was covered in rainwater, his hair was all wet, the raindrops on his body standing in the hall dripped onto the smooth floor tiles, which made him a little panicked.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, first said: "It's not in the way," and then said to Wang De: "Let someone make a pot of hot tea for General Li to warm up."

Wang De took the order and left.

Li Junxian was moved in his heart, bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

His Majesty Li Er pointed to the chairs in front of the desk and said, "You don't need to be too polite, just sit down and tell me the details."

"Here."

Li Junxian sat down, and respectfully described the situation in Dongshi, and then the situation in the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

His Majesty Li Er's eyes widened, and he said strangely: "You said that Xuanyangfang and Dongshi were all on fire, and Dongshi was smashed and destroyed?"

"indeed so."

"Is it the merchants who are making trouble?"

"This..." Li Junxian pondered for a moment, and told the truth: "The situation in Dongshi is too chaotic, and the general was stopped by Fang Jun at the entrance of Dongshi, and he never entered, so who set the fire and smashed it?" The shop... will never be seen with his own eyes."

How dare he say such nonsense?
Even though Fang Jun clamored that it was the merchants who set the fire and smashed it, people with a discerning eye could see that it was impossible at a glance. Although the merchants ordered by the aristocratic family gathered together to make trouble, they tried their best to control the scale of the situation and absolutely refused to let this matter go. There was a lot of trouble, and it touched the emperor's bottom line.How dare you set fire to smash it under such circumstances?
But even if Fang Jun called for the thief to deliberately set fire to smash these traders to frame these traders...then there is nothing he can do about it, he refuses to admit it, can't the Ministry of punishment and Dali Temple intervene?Once this happens, the situation becomes even more chaotic.

His Majesty Li Er shook his head and laughed: "This stick is really cunning."

Although Fang Jun violated the national law by arson and smashing, it is still a serious crime for those aristocratic family members to instruct their merchants to gather people in Xiaojudong City to demonstrate!

If you want to deal with Fang Jun, then you cannot escape the responsibility of being a member of the aristocratic family, and vice versa.

So even if Fang Jun knew that it was Fang Jun who set the fire, smashed it or even planted the blame, it would be nothing in the end.

It is impossible for His Majesty Li Er to really tear himself apart with the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family does not dare to openly admit the crime of instigating and agitating...

Fang Jun managed to find a balance ingeniously under such unfavorable situation, which made the aristocratic family's powerful families suffer, it's really a big deal.

Li Junxian clicked his tongue and echoed: "It's really cunning..."

At this time two court ladies came in, one held a pot of fragrant tea and put it in front of Li Junxian, and the other handed over a handkerchief wetted with warm water, Li Junxian took it over, wiped his hands and face, and waited until the maid After retreating, he poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.

After drinking the warm tea, the damp and cold air in the body was swept away, and it was extremely comfortable.

His Majesty Li Er has never paid much attention to the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers. On the contrary, he thinks that being more relaxed and casual is more compatible with the monarch and his ministers. He can even dance with the ministers while taking off his clothes at the banquet... Seeing Li Junxian is not restrained, he feels in his heart He was also happy, and asked: "After those traders were arrested, how did Fang Jun deal with them? There are so many people, and the prison in Jingzhao Mansion can't fit them."

Li Junxian said with a smile: "Returning to Your Majesty, not only the cell cannot fit, but the ropes for binding people are not enough. However, Fang Jun ordered those traders to take off their trousers and cut them to use as ropes, but no one dared to run away. I can't run away either."

Thinking about those scenic spots... His Majesty Li Er laughed out loud.

Li Junxian said casually: "Speaking of which, Fang Jun really acted vigorously and resolutely. At first, those vendors were still yelling and dissatisfied. Among them, a relative of the eldest grandson's family participated in the riots. He spoke rudely to Fang Jun, and was interrupted by Fang Jun in public. He also ordered Wei Dawu, Shao Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion, to send him back to the eldest grandson's house, and then the rest remained silent and dared not cause trouble."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Junxian felt that the air in front of him suddenly stagnated. Looking at His Majesty, he realized that the smile just now had still disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Li Junxian was startled, secretly thinking that he said something wrong?I thought about it carefully, but I didn't find anything wrong, but His Majesty's expression...

His Majesty Li Er didn't realize that his complexion had become ugly, but he muttered in his heart: Fang Jun's method...is really fearless, even in the face of the eldest grandson's family, he dared to use such a ruthless hand.

*****
Fangfu study.

Fang Xuanling said that Fang Jun might be wronged by this matter, but he didn't seem worried, with a faint smile on his face, he called the maid to make a pot of tea again, and added osmanthus cake and mille-feuille cake Almond cakes and other delicate snacks, he said gently: "I've been busy all night, haven't had time to eat yet? Have a few mouthfuls to pad your stomach, and let's talk slowly."

"Oh." Fang Jun responded.

At first, he was full of doubts, but seeing that his father didn't seem to care too much, Fang Jun felt relieved. The pastry on the desk exuded a fragrance, and his stomach suddenly gurgled, and he ate it voraciously. A few pieces of pastries, two cups of hot tea, and a comfortable sigh of relief.

Lifting the teapot to fill up Fang Xuanling's teacup, he filled a cup himself, and then asked: "Son, I don't understand, father, please tell me, can it be that things have reached this level, can't force those powerful people and the emperor to keep Tacit understanding, make big things small?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head with a smile: "Easier said than done? Since it happened, it is impossible to treat it as never happened. How can His Majesty be able to sit still when such a large-scale gathering incident happened in the capital city? If it were placed on other emperors, it would probably only If you find someone to take responsibility, it will be nothing. But if this matter is placed on His Majesty today... then it is definitely not just a matter of who is responsible, but must ensure that this matter will never happen again."

What he said was a bit superficial, another person might not be able to understand what he meant, but Fang Jun could understand.

If it were another emperor, as long as this matter is settled down and no further troubles are needed, the tacit understanding must exist, and everyone's bottom line should be well maintained, and the rest will be carried out under the water. A relatively gentle means to deal with.

But His Majesty Li Er can't...

The reason is very simple. How did His Majesty Li Er get the throne in the first place?

It was obtained by killing brothers and brothers in the bloody battle of Xuanwumen, and then forced his father to abdicate, and this is how he got this country!
The change of Xuanwu Gate was not just a bloody battle downstairs of the city gate. The various forces in the court competed in various aspects, played games, and fought hand-to-hand. In the end, they won an incredible victory!
To put it bluntly, it was a coup!
Precisely because His Majesty Li Er came to power through a coup d'état, he has some taboos and scruples in his heart, so he can't tolerate things like Xiaoju making trouble!Today is a rally of traders to demonstrate, who knows if it will turn into a mutiny and a coup by the army tomorrow?
So for His Majesty Li Er, who is responsible is secondary, he must ensure that this kind of thing will never happen again!
Fang Jun sighed helplessly: "It's my son's negligence, and he didn't consider this level. If he knew this earlier, he shouldn't have put that dog leg of the eldest grandson's family back. It's disgusting, that eldest grandson Wuji is a sinister."

The reason why Hu Chong was beaten half to death and then let Wei Dawu send him back to the grandson's house was because he thought that this matter would be nothing in the end anyway, and holding this man in his hands would not help the grandson's family. , it would be better to slap Changsun Wuji in the face and let out a bad breath.

Look, I beat your people half to death, and finally sent your allies back, is your face hot?Shame or not?

Thinking about it now, why don't you hold it in your hand and send it directly to His Majesty Li Er, and let His Majesty Li Er spray Changsun Wuji on his head and face, which can also indirectly make Changsun Wuji more important in His Majesty Li Er's heart hair down.

miscalculated...

　If the votes are strong, today can be changed three times...
