Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1694
Inspection, which means checking and checking, became an official title in the Sui Dynasty and was added to the official name.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the official titles of "inspectors" were scattered officials or added officials. They did not have official powers, and mainly expressed their deep favor, which was more like an honorary title.After the Anshi Rebellion, the official position of "inspector" became more popular, and the scope of use expanded. Even the shogunate staff of Jiedushi adopted the official position of "inspector", which gradually became worthless...

However, in the middle and early Tang Dynasty, especially the Zhenguan Dynasty, although the official position of "inspector" was not formally conferred, they had the right to exercise the official position, which was equivalent to the official position of "agent".

Therefore, Fang Jun's official position at this moment should be "Acting Minister of the Ministry of War".

Moreover, since the official position of "inspection school" is not a formal official position, His Majesty Li Er, who is vigorously promoting the expansion of the power of the Zhengshitang, can be appointed directly, and the procedure does not need to be reviewed and approved by the Zhengshitang and the Ministry of Officials.

However, Li Ji's promotion to Shangshu Zuo Pushe required the consultation and approval of the ministers and assistants in the Political Affairs Hall to take office. At least this was the case for the appointment and dismissal of officials in the Zhenguan Dynasty.Of course, the emperor himself issued an edict, how could it be rejected and not passed?

His Majesty Li Er intends to enhance the power of the Zhengshitang to curb the imperial power in his hands. It has to be said that he has an outstanding vision that has traveled through the ages, but so far at the peak of the feudal dynasty, such actions are really in vain...

The reason why the ministers were astonished was not because of Fang Jun's superior position.

No one can ignore Fang Xuanling's power, and the emperor values ​​him so much that people can't even feel jealous. When it comes to loyalty and contribution to the emperor, how many people can compare with it?Now that Fang Xuanling was full of grievances when he became an official, it was reasonable and reasonable to promote Fang Jun's official position as compensation, and no one could say anything against it.

However, Li Ji was directly promoted to Shangshu Zuo Pushe, which was really surprising.

Because according to common sense, if Zuo Pushe resigns, You Pushe must succeed... and the current Shangshu Youpushe is Xiao Yu, Duke of Song.

The emperor's intentions are already very clear. I will not pursue what you have done, and I can still save you. But now I will give Fang Xuanling an explanation. Deny Fang Jun.

Because, that matter has come to an end!

Whoever insists on it, the emperor will be furious, and it is best to conduct a thorough investigation. At that time, who is right, who is wrong, and who has such a dirty mind will be revealed to the world. Even if the emperor is worried about the plan of the Eastern Expedition, he must clean Chao Gang uses the law of the country.

Give you face, you have to take it.

If you are shameless, then don't blame me for turning your face...

Xiao Yu's face was calm, but his heart was already full of bitterness.Originally, they wanted to suppress Fang Jun, and took the opportunity to expand the interests of the Jiangnan gentry in maritime trade, but instead of suppressing it, Fang Jun was promoted again.Chancellor of the Ministry of War, this is already a first-class loyal minister of the imperial court, one of the nine ministers who are located in the power center of the empire!

Well, if this tone can be tolerated, then the position of Shangshu Zuopushe, who is close at hand, slipped away from his hand, but it made his heart throbbing with pain...

Fang Xuanling's letter of resignation is really terrible!
Isn't it just to suppress your son?He didn't take him seriously, but he had the reputation of being a willful dude, and he couldn't be severely punished. The worst thing he could do was to delay his promotion.But that kid was already a servant of the Ministry of War before reaching the weak crown. From ancient times to the present, there are very few people at this age who occupy such a high position. What is there to be dissatisfied with?
Pretending to be aggrieved and writing this memorandum made the emperor feel guilty and furious. In the end, in order to compensate Fang Xuanling, he promoted Fang Jun to the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Shangshu Zuo Pushe's official position was thrown on Li Ji's head.

Xiao Yu himself can be said to have lost his wife and lost his army. He got nothing and was empty-handed. He also hired a young official with a bright future...

Xiao Yu was so depressed that she couldn't speak, Fang Xuanling's gentle and peaceful face rose in her heart, she couldn't help spitting secretly, she said that Changsun Wuji was a "yin man", but when she really became sinister, he Fang Xuanling didn't give in at all...

Changsun Wuji also sighed secretly, no matter how upset he was, he didn't dare to refute.

Li Ji is a member of the army, with outstanding military exploits and outstanding abilities, no matter his ability or seniority, he is more than enough to serve as Shangshu Zuo Pushe. In terms of strength, Li Ji, who has the support of a group of military leaders, is not inferior to Xiao Yu and himself.

It's just that this kid Fang Jun actually inspected the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs... It's like a big stone stuck in his chest.

"Your Majesty's holy order, my ministers seconded."

"My minister seconded the proposal."

Changsun Wuji is still depressed and uncomfortable, Ma Zhou, Cen Wenwen, Liu Ji and others have already expressed their support. Li Ji's appointment must go through a procedure in the political affairs hall, but now these powerful figures seconded the emperor, even if his eldest grandsun Wuji wanted to If you want to get in the way, you will be powerless...

Maybe... I really should keep a low profile and stay away from court?

Changsun Wuji's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Old minister... seconded."

Feeling more lonely, but also more determined...

His Majesty Li Er nodded slowly, and said: "As for Le Yanwei... Although violating the national law is unforgivable, the crime is not punishable by death. Let him be dismissed from office and never be used again."

Xiao Yu was slightly shocked, but did not dare to speak.

Although he knew that the emperor said "so far", it meant that Le Yanwei would not be executed, but dismissing him from office would never be used, but it was too harsh.It's good to have a promising young official, cut off his official career just like that, and it's only a gleam better than beheading...

But who can be blamed?
This person is so stupid, if he can't search for Fang Jun's criminal evidence, it's fine, but he wants to frame him... Really think Fang Xuanling is a toothless tiger, or do you think Fang Jun is a vegetarian sheep?If you are stupid, you are stupid, but it is unforgivable that Lao Tzu and Zuo Pushe's position of chief assistant should pass by!
*****
The Ministry of Zhongshu issued edicts one after another, Fang Xuanling became an official, Li Jizheng was promoted to the Minister of Zuo Pushe, Fang Jun was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and Le Yanwei, the supervisory censor, was dismissed from office and never used... One after another, the officialdom in Chang'an There was a lot of shock, and there were many discussions among the people.

To a certain extent, Fang Xuanling is the incarnation of the central government. Every decree he promulgates is to encourage life with light corvee and small taxes, and he is gentle and fair in dealing with affairs. No matter in the official circle or in the private sector, everyone in the ruling and opposition respects him deeply, and his reputation is extremely high. it is good.

However, such a virtuous minister who is loyal to the country cannot withstand the erosion of the years and has to retreat to the mountains. How can it not be nostalgic...

There are doubts about Li Ji's promotion to Shangshu Zuo Pushe to perform the post of chief assistant, but more people really agree, especially the few officials in the court and central government have little objection.Li Ji has been a general in the military since the second year of Wude when he dedicated the land to him and was given the surname Li by the first emperor. When they defeated the Eastern Turks and hunted down Xue Yantuo, Li Ji was the first thing that came to mind from the government and the opposition every time they encountered a dangerous battle.

After Li Jing retired, Li Ji even restrained the generals with his No.1 status in the military, and no one refused to accept him.

As for Fang Jun, there were not many discussions. Because of the impeachment of Fang Jun by the supervisory censor for "robbing a civilian girl" case broke out, as the case became clear, public opinion gradually disappeared.Fang Jun took up the post of "Shangshu of the Ministry of Military Affairs". No one in the court questioned Fang Jun's ability. After all, Fang Jun showed extraordinary strategic capabilities in the defeat of Gaochang Kingdom and the Battle of Niuzhuji. The meritorious deeds of Tuotu, even if some people feel dissatisfied, are beyond reproach.

The only thing that can't convince the public is its age...

From ancient times to the present, there are not many people who are young and have ascended to high positions. Logically speaking, Fang Jun is not too shocking.However, if you study carefully, you will find that most of those successful young people are from the royal family, and they do not live in the most important yamen. Like Fang Jun, he is in charge of a country's military affairs before he is a weak crown. The name goes down in history.

But thinking about the power of his father Fang Xuanling and the favor of the emperor, he felt relieved.

To have a good father and a good father-in-law, the key is to be capable. If someone is not in charge, who will be in charge?No matter how envious and jealous, no matter how sour your stomach is, you must not admit that Fang Jun is in charge of the military department, even if it is not expected by everyone, it is a matter of course.

This is an era of "fighting for fathers". Birth means almost everything, and family represents the upper limit of life. Having a good father and a good family is a natural capital. Generally, they are full of contempt and contempt for the "second generation".

Are you not satisfied?
Yes, but if you want to express disdain, you must first have a good father...

However, the result of monitoring the imperial censor Le Yanwei caused a lot of controversy.
