Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2211 The Emperor's Support

His Majesty Li Er attaches great importance to this academy.

According to the concept described by Fang Jun, this academy will continuously provide the empire with talents in people's livelihood, mathematics, and physics in the future. Professional matters are handled by professional people", the national power of the empire is bound to usher in a blowout explosion, and the dominance of the "Suzerain of the World" will be further consolidated.

What's more important is that in the future, countless poor students will enter the academy and become grassroots officials of the empire after they complete their studies. This is simply a draw from the bottom of the pot for breaking the monopoly of aristocratic families on political resources...

It's not that the aristocratic family can't see the crisis, and they have already launched a counterattack.

Their method is not to violently resist the academy, because they can also see the advantages of the academy in cultivating talents, so they fight in a roundabout way, directly infiltrating into the academy, from officials to clerks, and then to students, and slowly put the family members of the aristocratic families into the academy. The outside forces were gradually repulsed, and then they took the entire academy as their own layer by layer.

His Majesty Li Er is very satisfied with the way of the aristocratic family.

It is normal for everyone to fight for power and profit. As long as the scope of influence can be controlled internally, without causing turmoil in the court, fluctuating people's hearts, and not destroying the good situation of Zhenguan's prosperous age, His Majesty Li Er is willing to take the same gentle way to deal with it.

Everyone is fighting each other with intrigues and tricks, and whoever wins and who loses can keep calm, which is good.

He ascended to the throne by overturning the rules back then, and he has already realized how harmful it is to flout the rules, so at this moment, he is very pleased that everyone can abide by certain rules and not try to break the rules and turn the table over.

Of course, whoever dares to disregard the rules and lift the table, Li Er is not a vegetarian, Lao Tzu won this splendid country by lifting the table back then, when it comes to lifting the table, who of you can beat Lao Tzu?

……

The meeting at the Academy had just ended, and His Majesty Li Er had already learned about the process of the meeting, so he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly.

He wanted to praise Chu Suiliang once, after all, he has been with him for so many years, so he is not very capable, but he has profound attainments in calligraphy and painting, and he usually suits his taste, and gets along very well.So even though he knew that Chu Suiliang was close to the nobles of Guanlong, he was still allowed to enter the academy.

In his opinion, people like Chu Suiliang don't have much ability, no matter how ambitious they are, they don't have the ability to shake the sky...

Now it seems that not only is it impossible to overturn the sky, but it is also difficult to live a stable life.

Chu Suiliang thought that the academy was a good place to grab political achievements, but he never thought that it was simply a tiger's mouth. With Fang Jun as a tiger around, the academy almost became a solid beast. Chu Suiliang would be more honest, if Blindly tough, I am afraid that if it is not done well, it will be scrapped...

At this moment, in a side hall of the Shenlong Hall, Shangshu Zuopushe Li Ji, Zhao Guogong's eldest Sun Wuji, and Song Guogong Xiao Yu sat on their knees opposite His Majesty Li Er, looking at Li Er Majesty's number one "hawk dog" Li Junxian in front of him. Er Fatty muttered, and after a while, Li Junxian bowed and saluted, and retreated.

Looking at His Majesty Li Er's tangled and helpless face, Xiao Yu wondered, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

His Majesty Li Er clicked his tongue, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's nothing."

It's not intentional to hide it, it's not a big deal, but Chu Suiliang's situation is really miserable, Fang Jun's kid is also hateful, it's nothing more than pressing down on Chu Suiliang, this front foot is ruthlessly pinning him down On the ground, he led the officials and doctors of all other academies to Songhe Tower to drink...

This is not giving Chu Suiliang any face.

Although Chu Suiliang was forced to go up by the nobles of Guanlong, he also acquiesced. To some extent, he was Li Er's man, and he ended up in such a miserable end. As an emperor, he also had a shameless face. Excuse me.

The three big brothers became more and more surprised.

As we all know, His Majesty Li Er has always shown others with an open-minded and upright image. This is not flaunting, let alone acting. I have long been used to the emperor not hiding anything in his heart.

At this moment, he hesitated to speak, and his words flickered. What happened?
They looked at each other, but they didn't understand.

His Majesty Li Er coughed, and said, "Where did the discussion go just now? Oh...Xue Wanche has invited himself to Liaodong to serve as the governor of Yingzhou, right? Ladies and gentlemen, tell me what you think about this matter."

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty's illness has caused delays in the Eastern Expedition. At this moment, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered in Youying and Erzhou, waiting for the next day, just waiting to survive this winter, and follow His Majesty's tail in the spring of next year. Goguryeo. Liaodong should be quiet at this moment, and Xue Wanche is irritable and courageous, and I am afraid it will be difficult to appease the hundreds of thousands of garrisons."

At this moment, Liaodong gathered the most elite troops of the Tang Dynasty. Even though the Eastern Expedition was delayed due to the illness of His Majesty Li Er, they did not return to their original stations.Now Zhou Daowu, the governor of Youzhou, is also in charge of the military affairs of the two states of Youying.

Zhou Daowu is a young general carefully trained by the nobles of Guanlong. Seeing that the merits of the Eastern Expedition are easily available, how could he be willing to let Xue Wanche go to share the credit?

Xiao Yu also said: "Currently Liaodong has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops. These soldiers and horses come from all over the country. The longer they stay, the more unstable the morale of the army will become. Your Majesty should send a steady minister to comfort the soldiers, soothe the morale of the army, and assist Zhou Daowu, governor of Youzhou, is in control of the situation, not an ambitious general like Xue Wanche."

This is the to the point.

So many soldiers gathered in Liaodong, and it was a trivial matter to spend countless money and food every day. Anyway, Datang's warehouses are abundant now, and rice from Nanyang is continuously transported to Youzhou by sea.However, the morale of the army must be stabilized. Sending civilian officials is far more able to calm the situation than a general.

His Majesty Li Er looked at the silent Li Ji, tapped the table in front of him with his fingers, and said, "Mao Gong, tell me about it."

Regarding Li Ji, His Majesty Li Er was actually deeply dissatisfied.

He naturally understands Li Ji's boring gourd-like character, but in the past, as a minister, you would not offend anyone if you wanted to protect yourself wisely. We can rely on you, but now you are the chief minister of the dynasty, the head of all officials, and you are still like this Cherish feathers, what is this?
Seriously, you are disregarding the grace of God...

That is to say, we are broad-minded. If it were the irritable Emperor Sui Yang, maybe a glass of poisoned wine and three feet of white silk would send you on your way...

Li Ji seemed to have sensed the emperor's displeasure, thought for a while, and said, "I don't agree with what you two said. The army is the most radical. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers gather in one place. I don't know how many problems arise every day. No matter how capable civil servants are, they are helpless in the face of those crude killers. They must be suppressed by powerful people. Xue Wanche has just returned from northern Xinjiang with the power of a great victory, and his reputation has shaken the world. With him sitting in Liaodong, It will definitely suppress those arrogant and arrogant generals, stabilize the situation in Liaodong, and wait for the spring of next year, when His Majesty will personally march. In fact, Fang Jun is the best candidate. It is enough to shock the entire army, but... Xue Wanche is also good."

The unfinished meaning in his words was naturally understood by several people present.

Since ancient times, the most troublesome problem has been the "master of high merit". Naturally, the courtiers will not end well, and the emperor's prestige will also be severely hit.

Fang Jun swept across Mobei and destroyed Xue Yantuo at the age of a weak crown, and his military achievements are close to those of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. If he is allowed to go to Liaodong to sit in the town, he will add another military achievement when he marches east next year...

Blooming flowers is a good story, but cooking oil with fire may cause a disaster.

His Majesty Li Er thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said: "In this case, let Xue Wanche take the post of governor of the prefecture, and then he can rush to Liaodong to sit in the town. On the one hand, he can stabilize the morale of the army, and on the other hand, he must beware of Goguryeo."

"Here!"

Li Ji quickly responded.

Changsun Wuji sighed slightly.

Not surprisingly, during the Eastern Expedition next year, the current governor of Yingzhou will inevitably become the vanguard of the army.However, Zhou Daowu is far inferior to Xue Wanche in terms of qualifications and military achievements, but there is nothing he can do...

After the matter of Xue Wanche came to an end, His Majesty Li Er said again: "Fang Jun submitted a transfer order to the Ministry of War the day before yesterday, intending to transfer General Xue Rengui of the Right Guard to the post of Sima in the Anxi Governor's Mansion... Do you agree? "
