Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2598 The Alliance is Broken
At this moment, it is meaningless to find out who was involved in the cancellation of the ban on Jinwang circle.The prince is Fang Jun's backer, and Fang Jun is also the prince's pillar. The two complement each other. Once someone wants to covet the prince's status, or even starts to take action, this is absolutely intolerable to the prince and Fang Jun.

Li Ji raised his eyes and looked out the window. The bright sunlight was blocked by a few tall trees planted in front of the window. The yellowed leaves cut the sunlight into fragments, and the mottled light and shadow were transmitted on the windowsill and coffee table. He sighed faintly, saying : "So, this is the reason why I have not been keen on government affairs."

Human nature is profit-oriented, dark and profound.

Xiao Yu also echoed and said: "A gentleman is rich and likes to practice his virtues. A small man is rich so that he can adapt his strength. The abyss is deep and fish are born, the mountains are deep and beasts go to them, people are rich and benevolence and righteousness are attached. , If you lose your attachment, the guest will have nothing to do, and you will not be happy with it.”

This passage comes from "Biography of Huozhi", which was originally used to describe wealth. It is used as a metaphor here, of course, to talk about the commonality of power.

The hearts of the people are not enough, and the snake wants to swallow the elephant. Some people see that the Guanlong nobles are weak and think that they can be settled in one battle, so they start to consider the distribution of power after the Guanlong nobles are defeated.Undoubtedly, once the Guanlong nobles completely collapsed, the princes would benefit the most, and Fang Jun would rise even higher and hold great power.

So those people began to plan to bring Jin Wang Li Zhi out. At that time, there would still be "remnants of evil" in Guanlong. Coupled with the support of these people, they could immediately fight against the crown prince's line, and even operate properly, and then they could seek the position of the crown prince. Then they These people have become ministers of the dragon again, and their prosperity will continue for life after life.

It can't be said that they are not far-sighted, but they are too selfish, they don't take the interests of the empire into consideration, and they underestimate the princes.

Sure enough, Fang Jun had already noticed just after he made a move.

Perhaps Fang Jun would not take any measures of retaliation or warning. After all, suppressing the Guanlong nobles is the most important thing right now, but if he wants to form an alliance again from now on, it is tantamount to a dream.

This has led to the fact that as long as the prince is not deposed and can successfully ascend the throne, neither the Shandong aristocratic family nor the Jiangnan gentry can truly become the power trusted by the prince in the future, and must be checked and balanced. The fierce government will continue into the future.

Even if King Jin successfully fights for the heir, the Guanlong nobles are still the ones he trusts the most after ascending to the throne...

This made Li Ji a little depressed, but there was also a trace of schadenfreude comfort in his heart-you are selfish, so what can you get in the end?

It's a chicken-and-egg fight, and both sides suffer.

Holding the pot of tea, Li Ji sighed softly and said, "Later, Song Guogong is still going to persuade Fang Jun. If his temper gets angry and refuses to let go, I'm afraid we will all become a joke."

Naturally, it is said that someone intends to operate King Jin's abolition of the ban.

In fact, it is almost obvious who these people are. They have been suppressed by the Guanlong nobles for so many years. Regardless of the Shandong family or the Jiangnan gentry, there are very few officials who can enter the center. Yes, it is unique.

The left and right are just those famous Confucian scholars who are famous all over the world...

Others may still be concerned about their literary names, but who is Fang Jun?When the stick gets angry, it doesn't care what great Confucian or scholar you are, a full punch is enough to disgrace those people, even Li Ji with him.

You are actively operating a multi-party alliance, intending to fight against Guan Long, but before the alliance is established, you actually had internal strife because of the struggle for power...

But Xiao Yu shook his head and refused: "Why do you let me go? That kid is a stick, even if he listens to the old man's persuasion, he must have nothing good to say. The old man is full?"

Li Ji was speechless, and said helplessly: "He is the son-in-law of the Xiao family, so it is more appropriate for Duke Song to come forward."

Xiao Yu snorted and said: "What's the use of a son-in-law? Even my own son sometimes can't say no to scolding, who can be as majestic as Zhao Guogong, let his own son die, and his own son will die? But having said that, Didn't Lingmei reconcile with Xiaolang from the Du family? According to me, she might as well be sent to Fang's family, and Fang Er will be made a concubine. Your two families are family friends, and if you have another kiss, the relationship will be further deepened. , isn’t everyone happy?”

Li Ji put the teapot on the tea table for a meal, and said angrily, "What's the point of saying this properly? It's just to ask you to go talk to Fang Jun and persuade him not to make a big fuss. Why bother to prevaricate like this."

"Hey!"

Xiao Yu was also upset, and retorted: "What is making a fuss out of a molehill? Fang Er and the crown prince are one, and threatening the crown prince's position as heir is to make trouble with Fang Jun. You all ran behind him and lit the fire, relying on Fang Jun How can he let go of his temper? Whoever comes to persuade me at this moment will just wait for the top spot. This old man doesn’t have the prestige to convince him and swallow his pain.”

Li Ji was also the same: "Could it be possible to let it go? That kid will definitely take measures to prevent King Jin's encirclement ban from being lifted. Maybe he has already read a book from His Majesty when he entered the palace last night. If he thinks it's not safe, It would be great to simply retaliate against those who suspect him behind the scenes!"

At present, it is the trend of the times for Shandong aristocratic families to unite with Jiangnan gentry.

The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River wanted to rely on the heritage of the Shandong aristocratic family and strive to make a difference in the imperial court, while the Shandong aristocratic family wanted to break free from the tradition of hoarding land and get involved in the unfamiliar sea trade , the two forces take what they want and achieve each other.

But if Fang Jun is a man who knows how to read and respect, and guides and advances backwards when he is stable, he is quite a sage, but once he goes crazy, he is a stunned young man who dares to single-handedly confront the Guanlong nobles!
In the past few years, there have been assassinations from time to time in the court. Although most of the time it was ultimately determined that Fang Jun had nothing to do with it, the strength under Fang Jun's hands was enough to support him to carry out a thunderous blow to the target he wanted to eradicate!
The firearm came from Fang Jun. No one in the world can surpass Fang Jun in the use of firearms. With just one item, he can snipe and kill any target at will.

Qiu Xinggong and other vicious and violent people have to be heavily guarded when entering and leaving the mansion, let alone a few so-called great scholars who play with pens and have no soldiers under their hands?
Once these great Confucians have any troubles, the alliance may fall through immediately.

This is to affect the interests of everyone, how can the two forces stop?On the surface, there may not be many who dare to settle accounts with Fang Jun, but behind the scenes, their hands and feet must not stop, and there will be a huge change in the undercurrent, and the entire court situation will also be affected accordingly.

Li Ji is not a meddlesome person, and he hates this kind of open and secret fighting the most. Thinking about the possible situations, he has a headache.

Xiao Yu also had a headache, and she was absolutely unwilling to ask him to go to the door to persuade Fang Jun.

That kid is just a stick, he doesn't know how to respect the old and love the young at all. When he is in a good mood, he respects the virtuous and the corporal, even street peddlers and seventy-year-old farmers can chat together, but when he gets stubborn, even His Majesty Li Er Dare to fight face to face!
This incident was due to the fact that those people who played tricks behind the scenes were dishonest, Fang Jun might be so annoyed, why should I send him to his door to give him a slap in the face?
But he also knew the importance of the matter, so he could only say: "If you come to the door in person, Mao Gong, then the old man can be an accompanying guest. If you want the old man to be questioned by that kid, there is no way!"

Seeing Xiao Yu cheating, Li Ji didn't do anything else, he said helplessly: "You are the dignified Song Guogong, a nobleman in Nanliang, the blood of the emperor, a pillar of the court, and a veteran of the two dynasties. How can you avoid snakes and scorpions to that handsome Fang? Let the world laugh at you!"

Xiao Yu refused to accept this, and said with a cold snort: "Nanliang nobles and the emperor's blood, don't mention it any more, they are just people who have subjugated the country. That guy even dared to beat the prince when he got angry, what is the old man?" ?”

Li Ji had no choice but to say: "That's fine, let's go to the door together, I think that kid will give us some face."

"It's not too late. That kid has always done things neatly. If he arrives late, I'm afraid he has already made a move."

Xiao Yu reminded.

Li Ji took it for granted, and immediately cleaned up, and then went out of the city with Xiao Yu to visit Fang Jun in the academy.

As soon as he went out, he saw Wang De, the chief servant just getting off the carriage. When he saw the two of them, he chuckled, stepped forward to salute, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty has summoned you two as prime ministers to enter the palace to have an audience."
