Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1709
Fang Jundao: "Everything is foregone, and if not forewarned, it will be abandoned. There is nothing wrong with taking precautions. Besides, how can things go wrong? The combat power of the Royal Navy surpasses the seven seas. Even if you beat Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Wa, and even The navies of the Nanyang countries are tied together, and it still depends on the first battle. It’s just that you don’t think about victory before you think about defeat. You despise all enemies strategically, but you have to be careful in tactics. The reason why the main force of the Goguryeo navy was wiped out in advance is just Just in case."

His Majesty Li Er didn't quite accept this kind of rhetoric, he frowned and said, "Is that why you don't like my Eastern Expedition so much?"

The expressions were rather displeased.

The Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo was a major event that he had planned for a long time, and he treated it as a lifelong achievement, full of confidence and high ambition, just waiting to wipe out Goguryeo in one fell swoop to complete the hegemony that the emperors have never accomplished through the ages, and to lay the foundation of himself as an emperor through the ages.

Now Fang Jun's remarks are obviously not optimistic about the progress of the land army...

Fang Jun was also helpless.

This His Majesty is good at everything, but this kind of headstrong and conceited energy is really unbearable.Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was overjoyed by the lessons learned, but you can't learn from it at all?

Fang Jun felt that he could not blindly be a "treacherous sycophant" who "slandered and flattered", and sometimes he should improve his compulsion, leaning on loyal ministers who spoke out and advised him, straightened his back, and looked With the color of justice, he said in a loud voice: "Taking copper as a guide, you can straighten your clothes; taking the past as a guide, you can know the ups and downs; taking people as a guide, you can know the gains and losses. The former Sui Yang Emperor's Yin is not far away, why is your majesty so confident? Sun Tzu has a saying: If a man has not fought and the temple is considered victorious, he must be counted as more; if he has not fought but the temple has been counted as invincible, he must be counted as less. More is considered to be victorious, and less is not considered to be victorious. How about nothing? Your Majesty is the king of a country , Your decision determines the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, you should be cautious and careful, and walk on thin ice."

"Ah!"

His Majesty Li Er laughed angrily.

The first sentence of these words was said by himself, and the last sentence was said by Sun Wu. He is politically correct and cannot be refuted. No matter how arrogant his Majesty Li Er is, he cannot refute that what he and Sun Wu said is wrong. Want to learn from Wei Zheng?

Nodding his head, His Majesty Li Er said indifferently: "In the past, there were always ministers who slandered you as a traitor, and I believed it to be true. Now it seems that you have been wronged. You are full of righteousness and magnanimity, and you can use what I said to refute it. Oh, I have it. It’s just that you want to learn the strong order, but you don’t know if you have the iron bones and are not afraid of whipping the court staff?”

As he said that, he looked Fang Jun up and down with his eyes, as if he wanted to estimate how many whips and sticks Fang Jun's body could withstand...

"This one……"

Fang Jun only felt a cold air rise from his back vertebrae, he pondered for a while, and said decisively: "Emperor Guangwu was prosperous in Pishu, but he had the wisdom of Yu Tang. Dong Xuan's reputation of "strength" has been achieved. If it were replaced by the tyranny of Jie and Zhou, then Dong Xuan's bones would have been gone... The humble minister has no character, but because he was lucky enough to be in a prosperous age and happy to be a wise king, he dared to speak out and violate advice. I was born a few decades earlier and encountered the end of the Sui Dynasty, I am afraid that I will become the number one courtier in the world, fortunately, fortunately."

Because of your majesty, you are wise and brave to accept advice, so I dare to talk nonsense and give direct advice.

If you were someone like Emperor Sui Yang, I would flatter you honestly and dare not say a single word...

Wang De, who was standing at the door, bowed, his eyelids twitched wildly when he heard this, and he sighed in his heart: It is not wrong to say that eunuchs are born treacherous, what else can we do besides flattery? ?Listen to what Fang Erlang said, the quotations from the scriptures are brilliant, and the horses are photographed without a trace, this is the realm.

What is a cultural person?
No matter how shameless you are, you can still be serious and upright, that's what you call a cultural person...

His Majesty Li Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If I agree to your request, then I will have a broad mind, otherwise, I will be a tyrannical and narrow-minded Jie and Zhou, right?"

Fang Jun shook his head resolutely: "How could it be? In my heart, you are the moon in the sky and the lighthouse on the coast, pointing out the direction for me in the dark night and above the vast sea. I just need to move forward forever towards you. It will be able to reach the other side of justice..."

"To shut up!"

His Majesty Li Er couldn't stand listening to it anymore. Even if he was conceited and proud, his skin was covered in goose bumps. He drank and cursed, "Get out of here!"

"Yes, yes, I'm going to get out of here... It's just my request..."

"How can you decide such a big matter with a single word? I still need to discuss it with a few old men." His Majesty Li Er said with a sullen face.

In fact, where is the use of consultation?
With such an expression and tone, he has already agreed to Fang Jun's request, otherwise why should he become angry from embarrassment?
Fang Jun's eyes were bright, and he immediately bowed and saluted: "My minister understands, I will take my leave first."

Seeing that the emperor just gave a faint "hmm" and said nothing, he took three steps back, turned around, and strode out of the hall.

When he walked to the door, Wang De bowed and saluted Fang Junzhi. The undisguised envy and admiration in Fang Junzhi's eyes made Fang Junzhi baffled... You old eunuch, why do you think we are handsome?

*****
Wei Guogong Li Jing first wrote a letter to resign, and then walked out of the mansion where he had lived in seclusion for more than ten years. The news that he was about to sail south to the south of the Yangtze River spread rapidly in Chang'an City, and then stirred up the entire Guanzhong, shaking the government and the public!
Who doesn't know Li Jingzhi's achievements to Li Tang?

Similarly, who doesn't know the emperor's dissatisfaction and fear towards Li Jing?

That is to say, His Majesty has a big heart and cannot bear to massacre the heroes of the past, otherwise Li Jing would have been killed several times for a reason...

However, now that everything is over and the sky is clear, Li Jing's coming out of the mountain again, the meaning is really unpredictable...

Song Guogong Mansion.

Xiao Yu sat on the chair, looked at the eldest son Xiao Rui who looked unhappy in front of him, and said softly: "You are not too young, you should have some experience in the city. As a father, I don't like Fang Junzhi, but I will never give up because of my own perception." Then deny his talent, envy the virtuous and capable, it is a big taboo."

Xiao Rui's face turned red, and he argued: "Father Mingjian, it's not that the child is jealous of the virtuous and capable, but that Fang Jun is too much! My Xiao family has inherited the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the hairpin tassels have been famous and virtuous for generations. The daughter of my family is not a hero. If you don’t marry, that Fang Jun is nothing more than a reckless stick. Relying on his talent and ability, he won’t let my family look down on him. He actually refuses my family’s initiative to marry. Where does this put my family? It’s too deceptive !"

At first Xiao Yu wanted to marry Fang Jun, but he was the one who opposed it; now that Fang Jun blatantly refuses to marry, he is the one who is annoyed...

In the end, the face of the aristocratic family is too high, and he thinks that Fang Jun's refusal hurt Xiao's face, which is unforgivable.

Xiao Yu didn't take it seriously: "Marriage matters are decided by the parents and the matchmaker. Even if Fang Jun goes to heaven and earth, how can he still have the final say? Next month will be the death day of Emperor Jing. As a father, I have already asked His Majesty Ask for leave for one month, and go back to Jiangnan to preside over the ceremony. Since Fang Xuanling is going to Huating Town, he will go down the river to meet his father at that time, and bring this matter up. It is expected that Fang Xuanling will definitely not object. Whether Fang Jun agrees or not is up to you. what relationship?"

The "Emperor Jing" he mentioned was Xiao Cong, the last emperor of Xiliang in the Southern Dynasty.

In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Xiao Cong succeeded to the throne in Jiangling, with the title of Guangyun.

Xiao Cong has the legacy of his ancestors and fathers. He is erudite and literary, and he is skilled in bowing and horses.It's a pity that he was born at an untimely time, and met Yang Jian, the first hero of the Sui Dynasty.Yang Jian usurped Zhou and built the Sui Dynasty, and all the northern land was included in the territory of the Sui Dynasty. It formed a situation of confrontation between the north and the south with the Chen Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River. It was impossible for the Jiangling Xiliang regime to survive in the cracks.

Two years after Xiao Cong succeeded to the throne, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty recruited Xiao Cong into the court as the Duke of Ju, and Xiliang died...

His nephew Xiao Mian raised troops in Luo County during the Daye period and called himself "King of Liang". Emperor", temple name Huizong.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Four years later, Xiao Mian was defeated and surrendered to Tang Dynasty, and was taken to Chang'an to be beheaded...

The Xiao family in Lanling had ups and downs, but the dynasties in the Central Plains changed, and even though there were ups and downs, they always stood among the top clans. "The prosperity of the family has never been seen in ancient times."

Xiao Rui naturally didn't dare to express his anger in front of his father. He was silent for a while, and said worriedly: "It's just that the old family members want to get rid of the shackles of Huating Town and seek more benefits. This has already touched His Majesty's bottom line... Is there something wrong? Right? Besides, Fang Jun is an unscrupulous guy, once he learns that our fleet is secretly going to sea to trade with the Nanyang countries, he might lose his temper, and really send a navy to check..."

Smuggling is now an extremely taboo topic in Jiangnan.

The Royal Navy's severe punishment for the smuggling fleet is disconcerting.Even though the Xiao family has Xiao Yu sitting in the capital, who knows if Fang Jun will go crazy and ignore the Xiao family's fleet?

Even though the sailors of the Xiao family fleet are all selected and trained by the slaves of the family, and their combat power is not low, not inferior to that of the officers and soldiers of the navy, but when he thinks of the artillery that the Royal Navy relies on to shake the world... Xiao Rui will not Emboldened.
