Tiantang Splendid

Come one step later

That night, Changsun Wuji tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.

The rooster crowed for the first time, before dawn, Changsun Wuji washed up, had a simple breakfast, took a car to the gate of Taiji Palace, waited for the gate to open, and immediately had an audience with the emperor.

It wasn't that he was impatient, but he knew that Fang Jun would definitely interrogate Changsun Guang early today. According to Changsun Guang's personality, it might be difficult for him to endure Fang Jun's severe punishment for several rounds. Once he pleaded guilty, the consequences would be disastrous.

A mere elder, Sun Guang, didn't care whether he was dead or alive, but the fact that the Ministry of War seized the court-martial was an established fact, which was absolutely unacceptable to him and the Guanlong nobles.

Last night he ruled all the families in Guanlong, and gathered outside the Taiji Palace as soon as possible to meet the emperor and put pressure on the emperor. It is okay to abandon Changsun Guang, but the power of military justice must not be transferred from Weiwei Temple to the Ministry of War.

In the end, when it was Maoshi, he was still the only one outside the Taiji Palace, and the rest of the Guanlong nobles who had promised well were not even a shadow...

A strong sense of crisis hit Changsun Wuji's heart.

Could it be that the once powerful Guanlong Group is really on the verge of collapse?

And when did all this start?
……

The servant had just opened the palace gate, and before the imperial guards stood on their posts, they saw Changsun Wuji in official robes waiting outside the gate...

"Duke Zhao knocked on the que early in the morning, but he wants to see His Majesty?"

"Exactly, please inform me that someone has something important to see His Majesty."

"Here, please wait a moment, Mr. Zhao Guogong, and this servant will report to His Majesty."

The servant hurried back into the palace, returned after a cup of tea, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty announces the audience of Duke Zhao!"

Changsun Wuji nodded slightly, and raised his foot to enter the palace gate.

In the Dragon Hall, His Majesty Li Er had just finished his breakfast, was drinking ginseng tea and flipping through the memorials, when he saw Changsun Wuji coming in, he beckoned and said, "Auxiliary machine, come and sit down."

Then he ordered the servant to pour his ginseng tea to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji got up to thank him, and then he held some tea, but he didn't drink it, but asked: "Your Majesty, last night a group of officials from the Ministry of War, led by Fang Jun, went out of the city in the middle of the night to snatch the prisoners escorted by the Anxi Army. Did you know?"

His Majesty Li Er drank the ginseng tea in the tea bowl in one gulp, clicked his lips, and said, "I have heard about it."

really……

Changsun Wuji knew that Fang Jun might have dared to snatch people and power from Weiwei Temple so recklessly with the emperor's consent or acquiescence.

"Your Majesty, it is clear that military trials have always been in charge of the Weiwei Temple, and the Weiwei Temple has always been fair and just, and has made great contributions to the purge of the military's law and discipline. Now Fang Jun's actions have clearly violated the court's laws. If he is condoned, it will be very easy. The power struggle between the DPRK and China is triggered, and there are so many chaos, and the DPRK is unstable, so we must not be careless."

He wanted to give Fang Jun eye drops, but he saw that His Majesty Li Er chose a copy from a pile of memorials on the desk without saying a word, threw it to Zhangsun Wuji at will, and said: "This is Fang Jun's memorial, the auxiliary machine You might as well take a look first.”

Changsun Wuji hurriedly put down the teacup, took the memorial, and looked at it carefully.

When he finished reading the memorandum carefully, his face flushed with anger: "Ridiculous! Shameless! It's clearly a dirty act of fighting for power, but he said it so righteously. This son is confounding black and white, referring to a deer as a horse, he is really a traitor quality!"

In this memorandum, Fang Jun talked about the matter of military judging, and believed that since the Ministry of War is the highest government office that controls the world's soldiers and horses, such power should be controlled by the Ministry of War. Inconsistent, unclear ownership results.

Especially if things go on like this, the Guanlong nobles will infiltrate their influence into all aspects of the army, resulting in a strong control force. Once some of the Guanlong nobles have evil intentions, it will definitely lead to extremely serious consequences.

It's almost like saying clearly that some of the nobles in Guanlong are about to rebel...

His Majesty Li Er didn't take Changsun Wuji's anger seriously, and asked calmly, "Then how should we deal with it according to the meaning of the auxiliary machine?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Everyone in Weiwei Temple is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. How can it become a gathering place for plotters and usurpers like what Fang Jun said? The veteran thinks that the power of military justice should still rest with Weiwei Temple In charge, after all, many officials of the Weiwei Temple have fought with His Majesty in the battles of the past, and if they plunder this power so easily, it will chill the hearts of these veterans. As for Changsun Guang, even more Fang Jun must be handed over to Weiwei Temple as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee that he will be beaten into a trick and a wrong case will be cast..."

His Majesty Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji and sneered in his heart.

Who fought on the battlefield and rolled in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood?Why don't you just tell me that Weiwei Temple is the backbone of the Guanlong nobles, and it is your private land. If I dare to seize the power of military justice from Weiwei Temple and hand it over to the Ministry of War, you will unite and give it to me. nice……

Of course, he wouldn't turn his back on Changsun Wuji completely because of this sentence. In fact, he was also afraid of the nobles of Guanlong. Once the strong rebound of the Guanlong nobles is caused, the court will immediately fall into turmoil, and even the entire empire will be in chaos.

As for handing over Changsun Guang to Weiwei Temple for interrogation...

His Majesty Li Er pursed his lips, then took out a memorial from the desk, threw it to Changsun Wuji, and said: "The auxiliary plane came late, Fang Jun brought Changsun Guang and other criminals to the Ministry of War last night, and started immediately without resting. Interrogation... This is the confession evidence of Changsun Guang and others, the auxiliary machine can take a look."

Changsun Wuji was taken aback immediately. He was afraid that Changsun Guang would not be able to endure Fang Jun's torture and confess everything. Liang came to knock on the que, but he didn't want Fang Jun to interrogate overnight.

What was even more unexpected was that Changsun Guang confessed so quickly...

He was apprehensive in his heart, and hurriedly finished the memorial, and looked at it at a glance.

After reading it in a hurry, I just let go of my heart a little bit. Fortunately, although Changsun Guang couldn't bear the heavy punishment and pleaded guilty early, he also knew the seriousness. He only said that he was greedy for military achievements, and beheaded the scout sent by Gao Zhenxing to Gongyue City in a moment of confusion. As a result, Gao Zhenxing's entire army was exhausted, and he did not say that this matter was an order from his eldest grandson Wuji to his children in the family.

Changsun Wuji was furious, and said angrily: "It's lawless! The military court trial is the power of the Weiwei Temple. Why did it ever come to the Ministry of War to interrogate without authorization? Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Fang Jun should be severely punished to serve as an example. All the yamen follow suit, so what is the majesty of the court's laws?"

His Majesty Li Er did not answer, but took out a memorial again and handed it to Changsun Wuji, saying: "Fang Jun has already brought this matter to the Political Affairs Hall, and the ministers and assistants will discuss whether the power of general law judgment should be handed over to the Ministry of War. Even though he is the emperor, it is related to the laws of the empire, and it cannot be settled with one word, it is better to leave it to the Zhengshitang."

At the end, he added another sentence: "At this moment, Fang Jun must have arrived at the Political Affairs Hall, or you can rush to see the auxiliary machine?"

Changsun Wuji's head was so big that he couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up and said, "Old minister, go to the Political Affairs Hall now!"

Not to go, no one in today's political affairs hall is on his eldest grandson Wuji's side, Cen Wenwen has always supported Fang Jun, Xiao Yu has an in-law with Fang Jun now, and will be more toward him, the new servant Liu Ji is more It is to wear a pair of trousers with Fang Jun and to breathe through one nostril. If he is not there, wouldn't it be possible that Fang Jun would propose any proposal and the Political Affairs Hall would pass any proposal?
Although he seems to be unable to stop Fang Jun by fighting alone, he can't just watch that fellow seize the power of military justice from Weiwei Temple, thus pushing the Guanlong nobles into the abyss of disintegration...

Looking at the back of Changsun Wuji leaving in a hurry, Li Er Majesty was expressionless, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

For a long time, the nobles of Guanlong have been his most steadfast allies. Without the full support of the nobles of Guanlong, how could Li Er be where he is today?But in the same way, after he ascended the throne, he also gave ten times and a hundred times in return. At one time, all the courts were occupied by the nobles of Guanlong, and the power of the empire abandoned the monopoly.

Even so, these people are still not satisfied.

When he promoted the imperial examinations and intended to recruit talents from the people and reuse them, he blatantly opposed himself.

Perhaps the Guanlong nobles who built the three empires single-handedly never realized that they were different from those emperors.
