Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2649
Changsun Wuji was filled with jealousy and hatred.

Think about the few princes who are still alive in the court today. They all climbed out of the bloody sea of ​​corpses with His Majesty Li Er back then. It's just a child in a weak year, but now he can sit on an equal footing with these meritorious relatives, isn't it annoying?

Even though he knew that Fang Jun had done countless meritorious deeds, especially when Jiahe came to the world this time, his merits were as good as those of the ancient emperor, and even the crown prince was given the power to supervise the country because of Fang Jun's credit, Changsun Wuji still felt uncomfortable.

Thinking about his eldest son, Sun Chong, who was no less inferior to Fang Jun, but had to go into exile because of a mistake, his heart felt more and more uncomfortable as if being eaten by insects and ants.

What made it even more difficult for him to accept was what Dou Jing had done.

As a member of the Guanlong nobles, Dou Jing actually ignored the decision of the Guanlong nobles to support the King of Jin's bid for the crown prince, and sang praises to the prince in the memorial. Dou Jing was conferred the title of Marquis again, and the Dou family had already parted ways with the nobles of Guanlong, which could not be reconciled.

First, Dugu's family was divorced, and now Dou's family is parting ways, and because of the incident with Changsun Huan last time, many Guanlong families felt resentful...

Today's Guanlong nobles only have a skeleton left, relying on the prestige of his eldest grandson Wuji to support them, if they are not careful, they will fall apart.

Changsun Wuji's face was gloomy, it seemed that since Fang Jun's birth and sudden rise, he had been in trouble everywhere...

……

His Majesty Li Er ignored the expression on Elder Sun Wuji's face. It was because of Empress Wende and the past that he could not embarrass him. There was no reason to take care of his mood. It is a matter of course to be a Marquis, but where is it more appropriate? Dou Jing belongs to the family of Queen Taimu, who has worked hard for many years, and now he has won such a special honor. A Marquis is also considered a marquis. Let's discuss it, come up with one The charter comes, and it will be determined as soon as possible, and it will be announced to the world."

Li Ji drooped his eyelids and seemed to stay out of it, until he felt His Majesty Li Er's eyes looking over again, so he could only say: "Huating Town was originally just a piece of saline-alkali land. Jun's fiefdom, dredging the river and building a wharf made it a port for foreign trade in the Tang Dynasty. The prosperity of merchants is rare in the whole country. In addition, Fang Jun's cofferdams along the coast were used to dry salt, so that the Tang Dynasty was no longer in danger of salt shortage, which is a testament to its ability. Since Huating Town has become the most affluent place in the south of the Yangtze River because of Fang Jun, and together with the inland cargo breeding and transportation, it is like a crucian carp crossing the river, why not simply seal the whole Yuedi to Fang Jun, so that with his help, the poor mountains and bad waters can be obtained. Governance? As for the land of Yue was originally the fiefdom of the king of Yue, the king of Yue can be entrusted elsewhere. For example, Chen Di is the middle of the world and the thoroughfare of all provinces. It has been prosperous since ancient times, and there will be no grievances compared to the king of Yue."

His Majesty Li Er was noncommittal, and asked again: "How is Dou Jing sealed?"

Li Ji said: "You can be named Marquis of Gaomi."

Gaomi was the feudal state of Yu in ancient times, and was once prominent in the world, but after that, it went from bad to worse, and now it is the land of Jiaodong, so it is not considered poor.

His Majesty Li Er nodded, looked around, and asked, "Dear dears, do you have any objections?"

This was a matter that was discussed yesterday. The "breathing meeting" has already been held. No matter whether you are willing or not, you have expressed your approval on the spot. Naturally, no one will speak against you when you come to the Political Affairs Hall. Otherwise, it will be making fun of His Majesty Li Er, ignoring Emperor's majesty...

Everyone said: "The British public's proposal is thoughtful, yes."

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand: "So, let's draw up an edict and announce it to the world."

"Here!"

His Majesty Li Er got up and said: "I am a little sleepy today, I will go back to the palace to rest for a while, and I will get rid of all my lovers for the affairs of the court. In addition, the appointment of King Jin to the Minister of Ministers has also been discussed by several of you. Let’s get things done as soon as possible, Shangshu Province has a lot of government affairs now, and Jin Wang is smart, so he can help the British public a lot.”

After speaking, he walked out the door.

He wasn't sleepy, but panicked.This side intends to insert Jin Wangan into Shangshu Province. Under his nose, even a scheming person like Li Ji would not dare to make trouble. He made some contributions and was recognized by the courtiers. When it's time to make the trip, Fang Jun will directly produce a peerless meritorious service. Is Jiahe Xiangrui just kidding?All of a sudden, the prince's prestige was pushed to a whole new level.

It's not over yet, and even a wedding has come up...

With this coming and going, the prince's prestige is getting higher and higher, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger. How can King Jin still be an opponent?This Fang Jun seems to be reckless and honest, but he is actually strategizing and scheming, and he is better at managing and creating momentum than those emperor teachers around the prince in the past.

Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er stood firm at the door again, turned around and said, "I heard that the king of Wei is about to go south, and Fang Jun will also accompany him. For the matter, if the Zhengshitang asked Wei Wang to accept the power and responsibility of supervising illegal affairs in various places, and clean up the administration of officials. It should not be too late, so let him go south immediately."

That kid Fang Jun is already good at planning and creating momentum, and now he is inseparable from King Wei, if he draws King Wei to the prince again...

No matter how smart King Jin is, how can he compete with his two elder brothers?

It's better to hurry and send it far away...

"I will obey your orders!"

Several ministers looked at the back of His Majesty Li Er and saluted together. After getting up, they looked at each other, but they were all confused-supervising the state capital and cleaning up the administration of officials, that is the first-class power, and only the minister and assistant But why did His Majesty recommend King Wei to go to this position?

And let Fang Jun accompany him...

Li Chengqian also murmured in his heart, didn't it mean that Fang Jun went south with King Wei just to accept the property that the aristocratic family had previously apologized to Fang Jun?
How could there be such an appointment...

However, he didn't have time to think too much. After all the ministers summarized the contents of this commendation, and handed it over to the scribes to the province for approval, they issued a decree to the world. It was already noon, and everyone went home. .

The political affairs hall is equipped with a canteen, all of which are royal chefs in the palace, so there is nothing to say about their craftsmanship, but the political affairs hall is located in the Taiji Palace, one step away from the emperor, if it is not usually important to have meals in the canteen, then deal with government affairs in the afternoon. At that time, the Zaifus would go back to their respective homes after being on duty, after all, they were still at home.

Li Chengqian stood at the door, waited for Changsun Wuji and Cen Wenwen to go out, Li Ji and Xiao Yu walked side by side at the end, he stepped forward to stop him, and said with a smile: "I have something to ask the British Duke, can you go to the East Palace to explain to Gu?"

Xiao Yu glanced at the prince, and said politely: "The old minister will take his leave first."

Li Chengqian returned the gift, watching Xiao Yu walk out, Li Ji saluted and said: "This is my honor!"

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he still followed Li Chengqian to the East Palace.Li Chengqian ordered people to prepare meals, then invited Li Ji to the study, and said straight to the point: "I want to enter the Ministry of Civil Affairs alone, and I hope the British Duke will help me, and I will advise my father and emperor."

Li Ji was a little dazed.

He can understand that when he entered the Ministry of Civil Affairs, His Majesty now intends to let the King of Jin compete for the crown prince, which is obviously very unfavorable to the situation of the crown prince. The crown prince must put down his usual prosperous government affairs and make some tangible achievements to prove that he is qualified to be the crown prince. to consolidate their position.

But why the Ministry of Civil Affairs?

After deliberating in his heart, Li Ji said in a deep voice: "Your Highness has something to say, and I should do my best. But I still have something to say to Your Highness."

Li Chengqian cupped his hands and said: "Although the British Duke is not my teacher, I have admired you since I was a child, and I respect your character even more. But if you have teachings, please speak frankly and listen to me!"

Li Ji waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be like this. Today's Ministry of Civil Affairs is full of goods and gold and silver. Since the founding of the People's Republic, it has never been more affluent. With sufficient financial resources, it is easier to achieve results... However, I want to remind Your Highness that the Ministries The reason why the Ministry is in such a good situation today is inseparable from Fang Jun. In the past, there was a huge amount of taxes from the Huating Township Bureau, which was escorted to Beijing by water and handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Later, there was an increase in commercial taxes according to Fang Jun’s advice. , These two have just supported the prosperity of the Minbu today. Your Highness wants to join the Minbu, I can understand it, but have you ever thought that even if you make any achievements with the support of the Minbu's rich financial resources, others will have it? Maybe it is attributed to Fang Jun, while ignoring Your Highness's dedication and ability?"
