Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2318 The Lobbyist
Li Xiaogong has always looked down on Li Yuanjing.

Although Li Yuanjing is the son of Emperor Gaozu and a direct descendant of the royal family, no matter his talent or military exploits, which one can compare to him, the clan king?However, relying on reincarnation, Xuanwumen nested in the mansion like a quail and shivered tremblingly during the Xuanwu Gate. He neither dared to support the prince Li Jiancheng, nor did he dare to express his support for His Majesty Li Er when the overall situation was settled. Afterwards, Emperor Gaozu's sons were all killed by His Majesty Li Er, and only then did he become the prince in the clan whose status was second only to His Majesty Li Er.

In the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, who is so talented, this brother is not a fart...

If His Majesty Li Er didn't take good care of his feathers and didn't want to repeat the tragedy of his brothers fighting against the wall, the restless guy would have been killed [-] times long ago, how could he be allowed to jump up to now?
He still thinks that he is a noble person, of noble blood, and has great ambitions in his heart. He keeps wooing courtiers and covets him.

It's something that doesn't know how to die.

Li Chongzhen was on duty last night, and at the moment he was still wearing the official uniform of the "Hundred Knights", he said: "Son, go change your clothes first, and then go to various mansions to deliver famous thorns."

Li Xiaogong took a look at Li Chongzhen. He was dressed in a leather armor and crimson red robe. He was tall and majestic. After thinking for a while, he said: "Take a set of clothes and put them on the carriage, and go to King Jing's mansion in this suit first. Wear regular clothes and go to another house."

Li Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, hesitantly said: "Father, this is an official uniform. If you go like this, you may be suspected of relying on the 'Baiqisi'. Will Your Majesty be angry?"

Li Xiaogong shook his head and explained: "Your Majesty is still trying to restrain King Jing, and he doesn't want to ruthlessly kill him, lest he will tarnish his reputation. It was originally because of the matter of Xuanwumen... Don't talk about it, Your Majesty doesn't want to touch King Jing now. But who knows if King Jing will be so stupid that he can't bear to covet him and do something so stupid that His Majesty has to get rid of him? As His Majesty's subjects, we should worry about the king's worries and suppress King Jing , so that he does not dare to act rashly, so as not to put His Majesty in a difficult position."

Li Chongzhen felt that what his father said made sense.

His Majesty did not want to kill King Jing, but if King Jing did something rebellious, His Majesty would have to kill him, which would damage His Majesty's reputation. If King Jing could keep himself safe, then naturally there would be no such embarrassment.

"Father, don't worry, the son knows what to do."

"Okay, let's go, go back quickly. In three days, it will be the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, and after that, it will be the day of the court meeting. Before then, we must suppress the little ones in the royal family and stand up for the house. Jun enters the Military Aircraft Department. Remember, this not only fulfills the friendship between our two families, but also establishes a bond of love for our county palace. In the future, when Fang Jun ascends to the court to pay homage to Prime Minister, he will be a powerful supporter of my family."

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, officials of the fifth grade and above must enter the court every day. This is called "entering the cabinet". Every year on the first two days of the first day and the winter solstice, the scale is even bigger, and all Beijing officials above the ninth rank must participate.

"Son understands!"

Watching Li Chongzhen stride away, Li Xiaogong sipped his tea, and thought carefully in his mind. He stood up to make a strong statement, and Han Wang and Jiang Xiajun Wang stood on the side platform, almost combining the royal family and being the most powerful force. , Supporting Fang Jun as the leader, I think there will be no difference.

*****
"Go to Hejian County Prince's Mansion?"

His Majesty Li Er was practicing calligraphy in the study, copied a "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion", put down the pen, and asked while blowing the ink stains.

Li Junxian stood at the side of the desk, and replied respectfully: "Exactly."

His Majesty Li Er straightened up and waved to Li Ji who was on the other side: "Mao Gong, come and see if this font has improved?"

Li Ji hurried forward, stroked his beard and watched carefully.

His Majesty Li Er washed his hands in the copper basin, took the handkerchief and wiped it clean, and returned to the table to appreciate his handwriting with satisfaction, and said: "First, we have made an appointment with Ma Zhou, and then went straight to the river. Jianjun Prince's Mansion, oh yes, they even supported Liu Jie to take up the position of servant... This kid wants to join forces, move out his team, and plan to take the position of Minister of Military Aircraft Department."

Speaking of this, he looked at Li Ji with a smile that was not a smile, and teased: "It seems that Mao Gong will come home later, that kid is probably waiting for you at the house."

Li Ji stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and without taking his eyes off the copybook on the table, he replied casually, "Wei Chen is not Fang Jun's team."

His Majesty Li Er said: "This is your nephew, the whole family is good, so you don't care about that friendship?"

Li Jidao: "If you come to Weichen's mansion to eat and drink, naturally let him go. He can go anywhere in the whole mansion. But in court affairs, Weichen only recognizes ability. Is it a nephew, is it a family friend?"

His Majesty Li Er felt a little strange: "So, you don't agree that Fang Jun entered the military aircraft department?"

Li Ji straightened his waist and said, "This minister has a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and will never favor one's own interests and abandon the public, but this minister naturally approves of Fang Jun's entry into the Military Aircraft Department."

His Majesty Li Er was almost flashed...

I thought you were stern and selfless with the righteousness you said earlier.

Unhappily said: "Why, do you want to tell someone that the club is talented and well-deserved?"

Li Ji replied with a straight face, "Your Majesty is wise. Although Fang Jun is young and inexperienced, I also understand His Majesty's intention to suppress him, but aside from these, doesn't Your Majesty think that Fang Jun already has access to the Military Aircraft Department? Qualifications to become an important military minister?"

Astoundingly talented and talented, Yunwen Yunwu, today's Fang Jun is not only a leader among the younger generation, even if he looks at the court, there are not many people who can compare with him.

No one doubts that he is one of the important ministers of the empire for the next few decades.

In terms of military exploits alone, when he conquered Gaochang Kingdom in the west, he led the Shenji Battalion under his command to defeat the Turkic wolf cavalry without retreating. They suffered two encounters and severely injured a powerful enemy, thus gaining fame.Then he single-handedly prepared to build the Royal Navy, so that the warships of Datang were able to gallop freely on the ocean without losing a single defeat. The vast ocean was brought under the control of Datang, and countless merchant ships sailed through various routes safely, which not only brought massive amounts of water to Datang. The wealth of the Tang Dynasty made the prestige of the Tang Dynasty spread all over the world, and the prestige was illustrious.

Then, a lone army brazenly went out of Baidao, went straight into Mobei, defeated powerful enemies in a row for several months, killed corpses everywhere on the snowy field in Mobei, blood flowed into rivers, went straight to Shan Yuting, destroyed Xue Yantuo, and repeated Wei Qing, Huo Qubing's great achievements in "Sealing the wolf to live in Xu" and "Le Shi Yanran" have soared in reputation and meritorious service!
In today's world, apart from Li Jing, Li Ji and a few others, who can compete with Fang Jun in terms of military exploits?
In the Tang army, countless young soldiers will regard him as a role model, and their admiration is like a flood of rivers and surging rivers, and he has established his status as an important general in the army in one fell swoop.

If Fang Jun is not qualified to enter the Military Aircraft Department, who can enter?
His Majesty Li Er picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip of tea, sighed, and said: "It seems that Fang Jun will not visit the Maogong Mansion today, must have been there yesterday?"

Li Ji smiled wryly, and confessed: "My minister's words and sentences are all from the bottom of my heart. I definitely don't care about personal feelings. I hope your Majesty will learn from you."

What is the use of Mingjian?
His Majesty Li Er is very clear about Fang Jun's ability and temperament, but it is also because of this that he repeatedly wants to suppress Fang Jun, let him settle down, step by step, lay a solid foundation, and only when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future can he bloom in one day Brilliance, the Prime Minister and the crown prince will guard the country and forge ahead.

But now, it is obviously unstoppable.

Fang Jun's talent and ability are like the sun breaking through the clouds, shining brightly, and he has even created a circle of interests and friendship around him. Even if he, the emperor, insists on suppressing him, he must Generates a lot of pressure.

What I am most afraid of is the separation of morality between the monarch and his ministers, then the gain outweighs the loss...

Li Ji looked at Li Er Majesty's gloomy and uncertain face, and asked, "Your Majesty is worried. Once Fang Jun takes office early, the power will breed his ambition. In the future, the Crown Prince will not be able to be kind and control him?"

His Majesty Li Er sighed and said: "Maogong you and I are a monarch and a minister, and I will not tell you those false words. If Fang Jun is now in the center, with great power in his hands, after a certain hundred years, Fang Jun will be full-fledged, and the court Is there anyone in the world who can rule him? I believe in Fang Jun's heart, this son is a pure minister, and he has absolutely no rebellious heart, but you also know that power is the most intoxicating, and it can also lose people's nature, even if he I won't do anything rebellious, but I can occupy the court to block the way of speech, and push the new emperor to coerce all officials, so what should I do?"

He didn't want the new emperor to become a puppet, and he didn't want Fang Jun to embark on the road of a powerful minister, who would end up with a bad end...

It is also well-intentioned.
