Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1523 Questioning
Fang Jun almost died of fright when he heard that these students were going to knock at the Chengtian Gate!

But he still had to put on an impassioned expression on his face, and said loudly: "I understand your hatred and hatred, and I admire your righteousness! But now that Mingjun is in power, even if there are some petty people who are corrupt and cheat, How can we avoid the sages of His Majesty who can see thousands of miles away? Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient, just wait for this official to enter the palace to discuss with His Majesty, and His Majesty will make his own decision. You are all the future pillars of the Tang Dynasty, and the task now is to It’s good to study, like the current struggle with those shameless officials, it’s enough for the officials to fight! Remember, the future of the empire belongs to you..."

These words moved these young students to the core...

This is a loyal minister!
This is a celebrity!

For the sake of our future, we have painstakingly defended it with all our strength, and would rather fight against the evil forces alone, than implicate students like them who have no roots and roots... Is that the case for the loyal ministers and famous officials in the past?

What else is there to say?
If he insisted on going to Chengtian Gate to knock on the gate, he would definitely be involved in the [Shaofu Prison and Dog] incident, and Fang Jun's good intentions would be in vain!
Lou Shide was so touched that his eyes were flushed, his young face was full of admiration and excitement, he stood up straight, bowed to the ground, and said respectfully, "Fang Erlang is magnificent!"

The rest of the students also felt Fang Jun's "noble personality charm". They only felt that although he was young and had a bad reputation, he was really a famous official with a "bright wind and a bright moon", with a big heart. Upright, upright and awe-inspiring!
"Fang Erlang is magnificent!"

"Fang Erlang has worked hard and solitary, he is also a role model for my generation!"

……

Fang Jun nodded again and again, with tears in his eyes, he stepped forward to grab Lou Shide's hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, be polite! This is what someone should do!"

motherfucker!

I pretended so badly that I had to finish it even with tears in my eyes...

*****
After finally persuading these students to disperse, Fang Jun wiped the cold sweat from his brow and went to Tai Chi Palace.

Young people are passionate and full of righteousness, which is the cornerstone of a nation and the hope of a country, but sometimes if this blood is not well guided and dredged, the consequences it can produce are really terrible...

Fang Jun followed the eunuch into the Taiji Palace, and went to the Dragon Palace as usual.

The eunuch took Fang Jun to a side hall not far from the main hall, first went in to report, then came back later and bowed to signal Fang Jun to enter...

This side hall looks like a study room. The walls of the room are lined with tall and orderly bookcases. The collections of rare books and scriptures are full and arranged. A burner of sandalwood is lit beside the large desk. Peace of mind.

His Majesty Li Er was sitting behind the desk, wearing a crimson straight dress and a purple gold crown on his head. His square face was full of joy and anger, but he was full of majesty...

Other than that there is no one else.

Fang Jun took two steps forward, saluted and said, "I have an audience with Your Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er didn't even look at him, and asked in a deep voice: "Qiu Shenji was assassinated at Xijindu, but what did you do?"

Fang Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, showing surprise on his face, and immediately said: "I don't know about this."

"I don't know? Hehe..."

His Majesty Li Er sneered, picked up the secret folder on the desk and threw it in front of Fang Jun's feet, and said sharply: "Then you can explain to me why the Royal Navy's fleet of rice transporting Linyi Kingdom just passed through Yangzhou along the coast. Going north from Hangou, Qiu Shenji was assassinated at Xijindu, and not even a single body was found?"

Fang Jun bent down to pick up the secret book, looked at it at a glance, and said in doubt: "Please forgive my stupidity, what does Qiu Shenji's death have to do with the Royal Navy? Even if it does, what does it have to do with my minister? I have been diligent in government affairs recently, not to mention Yangzhou, but I haven't even set foot on the gate of Chang'an City..."

"Dare to argue?"

His Majesty Li Er was a little annoyed, he patted the table, and said: "The royal navy is all your confidantes, and it just happened to pass by Xijin Ferry on the night of Qiu Shenji's death. Do you think you say it's okay and I trust you?"

Fang Jun blinked, spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Although the Royal Navy was founded by a humble official at the beginning, it is a group of official positions that you personally conferred. Just looking at the name 'Royal Navy' I knew it was your majesty's eagle dog minions, so if it is said that the navy was involved in Qiu Shenji's death just by passing through Xijindu, I am afraid that your majesty is much more suspicious than my humble minister..."

"...!"

His Majesty Li Er's eyeballs were instantly rounded, and he almost pouted in anger!
Mother, it's fine if you don't plead guilty, but you can still get involved in me?
"Fart! How can I, the emperor of the ninety-five years, the king of a country, use such dirty means of privacy to murder his subjects? If you dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will chop your head off?"

His Majesty Li Er was so angry that he cursed!
This little bastard, can you talk nonsense like this?
Fang Jun said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you can't kill Qiu Shenji...then why do you think that Weichen can do such stupid things? Although Weichen has some conflicts with Qiu Shenji, but since Qiu Shenji was dispatched by His Majesty, there has been grievances." Now that the hatred is over, we can't just go after and kill anyone who has had a quarrel with the humble minister, right?"

His Majesty Li Er snorted, and stared at Fang Jun's face with sharp eyes like a knife, trying to see if this kid was lying.

Naturally, he was only guessing. He had just received the secret letter from the governor of Yangzhou, and his first reaction was to vent his anger by killing Fang Jun... Although there is no evidence, maybe there will be something to be gained by cheating?But now seeing Fang Jun's calm expression, he knew that he was totally wrong.

Even if Qiu Shenji was really killed by Fang Jun, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see anything from his face.

This stick has a steady heart, not like a young man with a weak crown at all, perhaps not much better than those insidious old foxes in the court...

His Majesty Li Er was a little depressed.

The death of Qiu Shenji will bring unpredictable changes to the situation in the DPRK and China.

Because of Qiu Xinggong's betrayal, Gao Shilian lost his face and had to bear the humiliation and resign from office. He definitely hated Qiu Xinggong and wanted to kill him;
Changsun Wuji's plan of alienation caused Qiu Xinggong to have no way to advance or retreat, and finally made Qiu Shenji fall into the position of being dispatched into the army;

Although Fang Jun and Qiu Shenji had no old grievances, they almost beat Qiu Shenji to disability several times, and the enmity between the two sides was almost irresolvable...

Whether it was killing to vent anger, framing, or even cutting the root, no matter which party had the motive to kill Qiu Shenji.

The chain reaction of all parties involved in this is completely uncontrollable, especially the intricate connections and positions behind the various forces, just thinking about it will make His Majesty Li Er have a splitting headache.

Relatively speaking, he would rather Fang Jun be the murderer who killed Qiu Shenji, because if that was the case, it would be just Fang Jun's act of exterminating the grass and roots, and the changes involved would be much less...

His Majesty Li Er rubbed his temples. Without direct evidence, Fang Jun’s stick would never admit it. His Majesty was very upset.

All he is thinking about now is the grand plan of conquering Goguryeo to achieve eternal supremacy, but he never thought that it is at this critical moment that such and such things will always appear to hinder his grand plan.

Is it a long-awaited good thing, or is it a warning from heaven that things should not be done?
However, His Majesty Li Er is a generation of heroes with great talent and boldness. He quickly put aside his negative emotions and asked instead: "I heard that you are talking nonsense in the casting bureau. What did you say that you want to invest 4000 million guan?"

"...There is indeed such a thing."

Fang Jun froze for a moment, and thought to himself that your thinking is too jumpy, how did you jump from the death of Qiu Shenji to the casting bureau?

Weichen can't keep up at all...

His Majesty Li Er frowned and said, "What did you say that you asked the Ministry of Households for 2000 million guan, and your Ministry of War will settle the 2000 million guan on your own... Is there such a thing?"

Fang Jun said honestly, "Your Majesty can see everything with a candle."

Not paying attention to Fang Jun's flattery, His Majesty Li Er said curiously: "I'm so surprised, the Ministry of Household's 2000 million guan is nothing, but how can you make the Ministry of War take out 2000 million guan? It's the Ministry of War. Is there a private treasury, or are you planning to take out the armor for re-equipment and resell it?"

As the emperor, he naturally knew the importance of "separation of military and government", and Fang Jun's "concept of the military department" won the hearts of the king, and His Majesty Li Er agreed very much.

The army should be managed by the soldiers, and everything in the political affairs hall will be intervened, resulting in too much power for the prime minister, which His Majesty Li Er has always avoided.

And this casting bureau is the most important thing for the Ministry of War to improve its status. His Majesty Li Er gave his understanding and support.Even if the Ministry of Households cannot provide 2000 million guan, His Majesty Li Er will make up for the shortfall from the rich internal funds, but the Ministry of War will take out 2000 million guan... Really, the emperor doesn't know what kind of poor government the Ministry of War is?

He stared at Fang Jun suspiciously, always feeling that since the Ministry of War couldn't afford the money, this kid still dared to speak out loudly. Could it be that he was out of his own money and let himself, the emperor, pay for it in the end?
motherfucker!

Our emperor has been poor for more than ten years, and he is not willing to eat or wear clothes to show the world that he is hard and plain. Emperor Sui Yang built dozens of dragon boats and went to Jiangdu along the canal for fun. He even owns a small sampan. I can't bear to make...

As a result, in the past two years, I managed to save a little bit of money, and I plan to enjoy the extravagant life of an emperor, but I still have to be remembered by you, a stick?
Fang Jun raised his head to look at His Majesty Li Er, and saw that the emperor had a bad look on his face, with a fierce look in his eyes, just like what an old hen guarding his cubs would do when he saw a weasel wandering around the chicken coop and wanted to attack its cubs fierce -

If you dare to stretch out your claws, I will kill you!
Fang Jun's eyes twitched, extremely speechless.

You are the emperor, don't you just talk nonsense about "under the sky, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, are the ministers of the king", why are you dividing the money into yours and mine at this moment?
Your Majesty, you must have style...
