Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2503 Full Lobbying
How dare Fang Jun accept Gao Shilian's great gift?

Hastily stepped sideways to give way, bent over to return the salute, and said in his mouth: "How did the old Duke do it? You are such a big gift, the younger generation will never be able to bear it!"

Gao Shilian also knew his own status, and expressed his attitude, so he didn't take it seriously. He straightened up and took two steps forward, and affectionately held Fang Fangjun's hand, and said with tears in his eyes, "Why can't I bear it? No matter how old you are, I can afford the ceremony! If Erlang hadn't argued for reason and left Changsun Guang, that evil animal, in the Ministry of War for interrogation, how could my family's blood feud be avenged? Once transferred back to Weiwei Temple, those bastards would definitely protect them for their own interests. It's over!"

"The younger generation dare not accept it. This is His Majesty's will, and the younger generation dare not take credit for it."

"Although the old man is old, he is not old-fashioned. How can he be unclear about right and wrong, grievances and grievances? Come, come, please take a seat."

"Here."

Gao Shilian invited Fang Jun to his seat, asked the servants to serve tea, and then drove everyone out.

There were only the two of them left in the hall.

Gao Shilian made a gesture to invite Fang Jun to drink tea, and he sighed softly, unable to hide his sadness: "It stands to reason that the man Ma Ge shrouded his body and died for the country. Hiding, especially the death of a child because of the conspiracy of the treacherous people, is especially outrageous!"

Fang Jun took a sip of tea and didn't answer.

Changsun Guangzhi's behavior is really heinous, and it is not an exaggeration to die a hundred times, but the fact is that even without Changsun Guang's murder of Robe Ze and false leadership of the army, it is basically impossible for Gao Zhenxing to survive.

In the face of tens of hundreds of times the enemy, defending the mountain pass and fighting to the death, Gao Zhenxing already has the will to die, he seeks benevolence and wins benevolence.

Of course, even if the results are the same, if Changsun Guang hadn't been involved, the nature of the incident would be completely different. As a father, how could Gao Shilian not hate Changsun Guang to the bone?
In addition, Gao Shilian must also realize that if no one instigates, Changsun Guang may not dare to do such stupid things that risk the disgrace of the world.

Previously, the eldest grandson Wuji left the Gao family, but he didn't even send out a single master of the Gao family...

When the two of them sat down, Gao Shilian sighed and said, "The great Tang Dynasty, the majestic China, I really can't imagine that there are despicable rats like Changsun Guang who behave inhumanely. The eldest grandson's family is related by marriage, and the two families have been inseparable from each other and helped each other for ten years, but now... oh! It's really embarrassing!"

Without him, Gao Shilian, how could Changsun Wuji be where he is today?
Over the years, he has devoted too much effort and resources to support his eldest grandson Wuji step by step from being an "abandoned son" of the eldest grandson's family to gradually regaining control of the family and becoming a nobleman of Guanlong. leader.

Without him, Gao Shilian, how could Guanyin's maidservant marry Li Er who was the King of Qin at that time, and how could she become Queen Wende who is the mother of the world?
In the end, the eldest grandson's family he supported with one hand stabbed him hard in the heart. Not only did he lose his prestige and had to retire from office, he even killed his son tragically...

The hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable.

It can be seen how much anger and resentment Gao Shilian harbored in his heart.

Fang Jun comforted: "The same rice feeds all kinds of people. In our opinion, some things are better than death, but some people don't care about them, and are even complacent. The dead are dead. The old man still needs to look away. My condolences Conformity. Tai Shigong once said that death is inherent in a person, whether it is lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai. Gao Shiro risked his life to resist the enemy, which eventually led to a great victory for the Anxi Army. The enemy who invaded the invaders suffered countless casualties. This feat will surely be recorded In the annals of history, Shiro's heroic name has been passed down through the ages, and the descendants of our Han family have paid homage to him for generations, so what regrets do we have if we die?"

Gao Shilian said softly, and his heart was indeed relieved.

What's the use of being heartbroken when people are already dead?

As Fang Jun said, although he died a bit aggrieved, he died well, and the achievements he left behind are enough to amaze the world, leaving such a mark in history, this life is enough.

In fact, he was more angry than sad in his heart. He had been on the cusp of the storm all his life, and his family would be overthrown at every turn. What kind of things hadn't he seen?Quickly cleared up his feelings, suppressed all the sadness and anger, and sighed: "That's what you said, but when things come to an end, how many people can really see through them like this? Forget it, the so-called life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky. People are dead, so what's the use of crying? It's even more meaningless to pursue those right and wrong grievances."

Fang Junxin said, "Don't be so open-minded. If you let go of your grievances and hatreds, wouldn't my visit today be in vain?"
Thinking about his words in his mind, he said slowly: "Your Majesty is determined to forge ahead. The unreasonable laws and regulations in the court have been gradually abolished and banned. They are just some bad habits left over, but it is difficult to change them for a while. Many people still think and act in the same way that the world was in chaos back then. The same way when the heroes rose together, only seeking benefits, regardless of principles, and acting recklessly is the moth of the country! Military laws and criminal laws are just means that can be manipulated in their eyes. It will happen again. The younger generation has already come to remonstrate with His Majesty. After the Eastern Expedition, a military discipline picket should be launched in the army. Those who violated military discipline and national laws in the past must be reported and exposed one by one, and then tried and convicted to clean up the morale. Letting go can make the whole army work together to defend against foreign aggression!"

Gao Shilian subconsciously picked up the teacup, took a sip, and narrowed his eyes.

What is this to clear military discipline?
The drunkard's intention is not to drink, but he clearly wants to attack dissidents in the army... Who is Fang Jun's "dissident"?
In other words, who is His Majesty's target?

Naturally, the nobles of Guanlong...

Without His Majesty's permission, Fang Jun, even though he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, would not dare to picket and report unscrupulously in the army, otherwise, if the morale of the army fluctuates, Fang Jun will be the first to suffer.

Now that His Majesty has approved it, it means that His Majesty is already deeply concerned about the foundation of the Guanlong nobles in the army, and has even made up his mind to clean up military discipline.

If it is placed before, Gao Shilian may not believe that His Majesty Li Er has the courage to have such thoughts before the Eastern Expedition, but he can see that Li Er is able to support the Ministry of War in taking the power of military justice from Weiwei Temple. How determined is His Majesty.

As such...

Gao Shilian raised his eyelids, and said slowly: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and his candle shines for thousands of miles. The bad habits of military law must be eradicated. If we still only focus on the interests of each family and disregard the interests of the empire, how can we match it?" Can it match the current trend of the empire sweeping the world and unifying Liuhe? And the Ministry of War is controlled by talents like Erlang, who will surely carry out His Majesty's will, this old man is very pleased."

Fang Jun said modestly: "I don't dare to be praised by the old duke... The seniors are too inexperienced, how can they suppress those arrogant soldiers? At the critical moment, it is necessary for the pillar of the country like the old duke to come forward and suppress it. If At that time, the younger generation will come to the house and hope that the old Duke will help him."

You can't just be "deeply relieved" here, how can it be so cheap to just play lip service?

You have to be serious about it...

"Ha ha……"

Gao Shilian had a half-smile, stroked his beard, pondered for a while before he said: "The old man has retired from his official position, and he spends his days caring for his grandchildren, so he has already stopped asking about the affairs of the court. Besides, how can the old man intervene in the affairs of the military?" Do you have to do it? You have to be a military leader like Erlang to put in a lot of effort."

Fang Jun was disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said indifferently: "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Even if the old man retires from his official position, he should still use his spare energy. How can he not care about world affairs and just sit back and watch the bad habits in the army be poisoned and cause harm. Stand by and watch?"

Who doesn't know that you not only single-handedly supported the eldest grandson's family, but even among the nobles in Guanlong, you still have the general right to speak?
You want to be clean, but have you forgotten how your son died?

Killing a mere eldest son, Sun Guang, really thought that he would get revenge and feel at ease?

Gao Shilian raised his eyelids, glanced at Fang Jun, then stroked his beard with his hands, and fell silent.

He understood that Fang Jun was here looking for an ally. He took away the power of court-martial from Weiwei Temple, which was equivalent to confronting the nobles of Guanlong face to face. Obviously, His Majesty did not do what Fang Jun said. Yan Nana unreservedly supported him to suppress the Guanlong nobles, but this should have involved the battle for the crown prince, Fang Jun had to deal with the Guanlong nobles ruthlessly.

But he himself felt a little lonely, after all, the Guanlong Group existed like a colossus...
