Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2334 Disappointment
"This bastard! The dignified Minister of the Ministry of War, the Prince Shaobao, actually ran to the lobby of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to show off his prestige, and even uttered threats. He treats the imperial government as a market place, and follows him to do whatever he wants?"

His Majesty Li Er was so angry that he almost dropped his glass.

In the past, it was nothing more than nonsense, but now the serious officials of the court ran to the lobby of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to make a big noise. Where did the majesty of the court be placed?

Of course, this matter was first provoked by Gao Xing. It is not wrong to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to ask for an explanation, but in this way, it is extremely inappropriate.

After getting angry, His Majesty Li Er picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Li Junxian's eyes flickering but hesitant to speak, he frowned immediately, and asked in a deep voice: "What else?"

Li Junxian swallowed, glanced at His Majesty Li Er cautiously, hesitated, and said: "At that time, the son-in-law was in the lobby of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were afraid that he would make things worse, so they went to the Duke of Ju's Mansion to ask him to be sick. The Duke of the State of Ju ruled the matter, and finally got the signature of the Duke of Ju, and immediately allocated the money..."

Having said this, he paused, hesitating in his heart whether to tell the truth about the situation he knew, or just narrate the facts he saw without any in-depth speculation.

After all, although Fang Jun is very likely to plan this matter, if he wants to prove it, he needs to dig deeper, which will easily spread the whole matter and involve more people...

Seeing him pause, His Majesty Li Er thought he had finished speaking, and said displeasedly: "Then the matter is resolved? It must be the Duke of Ju who is mature and prudent, high-performing and impulsive, and it is difficult to become a master."

Li Junxian didn't dare to hide anything for Fang Jun, so he could only continue to say: "But at that time, Concubine Gao had already left the yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and no one knew where he was. However, shortly thereafter, the Jingzhao Mansion received a report saying that there was a wanted murderer Hiding in a monastery where a virgin nun Qingxiu lived in the south of the city, Cao Cheng Wuting, the commander of the army, led a patrol and the government officers went to search and arrest, and accidentally found the high concubine on the bed of a nun..."

The posture of His Majesty Li Er's river freezes instantly, and a pair of tiger eyes suddenly widen...

"Temple? On the nun's bed?"

His Majesty Li Er was a little unbelievable.

"Report to Your Majesty, that's right."

"boom!"

"What a jerk!"

The teacup in His Majesty Li Er's hand finally fell hard to the ground, the broken porcelain splashed all over the ground, and his square face was flushed with anger.

"A dignified son-in-law, an official appointed by the imperial court, to hook up with a nun and a villain, is really morally corrupt and shameless!"

The emperor was so angry that his chest rose and fell, and he cursed repeatedly.

To be honest, His Majesty Li Er has never paid much attention to the affairs of men and women. He himself has a wide range of hobbies in this area, and he doesn't think it's a big deal.Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why the concept of chastity in Li Tang's royal family is relatively superficial. His Majesty Li Er generally turns a blind eye to the cheating behavior of those princesses, princes, and son-in-law, unless they have an affair like Princess Fangling. His niece and son-in-law ended up getting killed, so he would intervene.

In his view, no matter men or women, if their status has reached a certain level, what's wrong with pursuing an exciting lifestyle?
As long as you love me I will be fine.

But fornicating a nun is absolutely not allowed!

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were not many women who had to become nuns due to various reasons such as life and background. Most of them were women from aristocratic families or royal relatives who were unwilling to remarry after losing their husbands. Only then escaped into Buddhism, the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha passed away.

You can pursue excitement, but you can't do it if you make a lot of noise.

Now in Ganye Temple there are still concubines of the late emperor who became monks and practiced cleansing. Once the news of high performance is spread, it will make the market prejudice against the place where nuns practiced. It is easy to think that all the nuns in the world will be impatient and steal men. If Ganye Temple is involved, how can you let the royal face save?

His Majesty Li Er was furious!

There is also a more important point, which is the main reason for his rage - you Gao Xing is also a dignified imperial son-in-law, the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and a proper official of the imperial court, but Fang Jun chased him to the door and beat him face-to-face. Defeated, completely defeated, but Fang Jun still didn't leave in the lobby of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and you didn't think about how to stabilize the situation or even counterattack, but ran to the bed of your good nun and profaned prostitution in the daytime...

What is the future of such a person?

The Gao family is the relatives of Empress Wende, and His Majesty Li Er and Gao Shilian also admire and love each other. Now that Gao Shilian is retiring from office, Gao Xing, as his eldest son, will naturally take over the influence of the Gao family in the court. Li Er His Majesty is also willing to cultivate and reuse it.

The result is such an embarrassing and useful person, how can he not be disappointed?

Huh?
Something is wrong!
His Majesty Li Er's anger rested for a while, and his thoughts changed.

It is indeed unforgivable for Gao Xing to have an affair with a nun, but no matter how much he likes women, Fang Jun still stays in the lobby of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he can't wait to go to the temple in the south of the city to have a tryst with the nun, right?

No matter how urgent you are, you won't be in such a hurry...

Something is wrong.

Slightly calming down his anger, His Majesty Li Er raised his head to look at Li Junxian, and asked, "You just said that the Jingzhao Mansion led the team to hunt down the murderer, and it was Cao Cheng Wuting, the military commander?"

Li Junxian said: "Exactly."

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard, lost in thought.

Cheng Wuting is the son of Cheng Mingzhen. After his meritorious service, he was highly valued by Ma Zhong in Jingzhao Mansion. He was in charge of the military and government officials of the prefecture. The security of the entire Jingzhao Mansion was under his jurisdiction. He could be regarded as a very powerful figure .

But these are not important, the important thing is that Cheng Wuting was Fang Jun's team back then...

His Majesty Li Er still clearly remembered that at that time the grandson Dan died suddenly, and Cheng Wuting was severely whipped in order to take responsibility for Fang Jun, resulting in serious injuries, and he had to be raised for more than half a year before he recovered.Although Fang Jun has all kinds of shortcomings, he really values ​​love and righteousness. He has always cared for and supported subordinates like Cheng Wuting.

If it wasn't for the fact that Cheng Wuting's body hadn't healed because of the whipping, he might have been brought by Fang Jun's side for a long time to go south...

Fang Jun and Gao Xingxing clashed in the lobby of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then Gao Xing went to the monastery to have a private meeting with nuns, and then Fang Jun's loyal confidant led the government officials to arrest Gao Xing on the spot...

The more I think about it, the more I feel that there should be something tricky about it.

"Have you ever found out that Cheng Wuting went to search and arrest, who was appointed by whom? The so-called someone reported it, is it true or false?"

His Majesty Li Er asked in a deep voice.

Li Junxian leaned over to salute, and replied: "I haven't found out."

His Majesty Li Er frowned: "There is obviously something strange behind this matter, why don't you investigate deeply and find out the truth?"

Li Junxian said respectfully: "The duty of the 'Baiqisi' was initially to protect His Majesty's safety. Entering and leaving the palace was prohibited by order. Afterwards, he was ordered by His Majesty to investigate the information of Gyeonggi, so that Chang'an situation is well known. In the final analysis, the duty of the "Hundred Riders" is to protect His Majesty's safety and strictly prevent conspiracies and subversion. Whether it is the high consort's private use of public property, cutting off funding, or even adultery with a nun, or moral corruption, it cannot endanger His Majesty's safety. , and cannot involve the foundation of the empire, it is the duty of the last general to report after hearing about it, but if he launches the "Hundred Riders" to investigate the various things behind the whole thing, it will be suspected of overstepping, and this should be done by Beijing The Zhao government is in charge."

His Majesty Li Er was stunned.

Li Junxian has always been trembling in front of him, like walking on thin ice, many times he didn't even dare to take a breath, but today he dared to confront him face to face, which really surprised him.

But he wasn't angry.

The "Baiqisi" obeys the emperor's orders, and all of them belong to the descendants of Xunqi. The palace of guards guards and protects the capital, and it is an extremely powerful force.

And this power can only be controlled by the emperor himself, and it must be strictly restrained, and it must not be allowed to overflow.

As Li Junxian said, only when all the divisions perform their duties can the country be prosperous and prosperous, and if the power of the "Hundred Knights" overflows and governs, it will cause chaos in the court. Instigate the "Hundred Knights" when something happens, which will greatly increase the power and responsibility of the "Hundred Knights".

And on a deeper level, although Li Junxian didn't say it, His Majesty Li Er understood that once the investigation continues, more and more personnel will be involved, and some unexpected situations will even surface. Sit back and ignore, or investigate one by one?

To sit idly by is tantamount to connivance.

Investigating and prosecuting one by one will definitely implicate people wantonly. The power in the court and China is intertwined. There are Guanlong nobles, Jiangnan gentry and Shandong aristocratic families. A little turmoil will inevitably be used by others to cause turmoil in the court.

No matter what the outcome is, it is not what the emperor wants to face - when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples. There has never been any right and wrong in this world, let alone right and wrong.

It is just a "love affair", which is about morality, but has nothing to do with government affairs.

Can't make a big deal out of a molehill.
