Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2658 Li Erxin

Li Zhi looked surprised: "Go to the Ministry of War? No, no, no, this won't work!"

Are you kidding me, the Ministry of War is Fang Jun's territory, if he dares to take advantage of Fang Jun's departure from Beijing to the south, and encourages his father to order him to go to Fang Jun's one-acre three-point land to be a domineering, Absolutely can't eat and walk around!
Is it true that Fang Jun's stick is made of clay?
That servant swings his fists, it doesn't care whether you are the Duke or the Prince!If Fang Jun gets angry when he returns to Beijing, and Bang Chui loses his temper, it will even cause headaches for the emperor, and there is no reason for him to be beaten...

Seeing Li Zhi's complexion changed drastically, his head shaking like a rattle, Changsun Wuji was also speechless.

You are a prince, equivalent to a king, Fang Jun is nothing more than a courtier no matter how big he is, why did he turn pale when he talked about it, afraid of becoming like this?

But settle down and think about it, if Li Zhi was really beaten up by Fang Jun, not to mention what kind of responsibility Fang Jun would bear afterwards, the loss of prestige alone would not be affordable for Li Zhi.

After thinking about it, he suggested: "Your Highness, don't worry, if you propose to go to the Ministry of War, you will inevitably be suspected of stealing the bottom, but if someone else advises His Majesty that you go to the Ministry of War, Fang Jun will never blame your head superior."

Li Zhi asked: "Who is suitable?"

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "British Duke."

Li Zhiqi said: "Although the Duke of England has never expressed his inclination, judging from his various words and deeds, he must be on the side of the prince's elder brother. How could he advise the emperor to let the king go to the Ministry of War? You know, the Ministry of War is It is Fang Jun's territory, and Fang Jun is the biggest help of the prince's brother, this military department is equivalent to the most important central yamen of the prince's brother, and has always been regarded as the headquarters of the East Palace."

His concerns were reasonable, but Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "Your Highness doesn't understand the character of the Duke of England, that's why he has such doubts. But the veteran has been serving the Duke of England for many years, and he is well aware of his scheming. If you talk about the depth of the city, Even an old minister would be willing to bow down. But the British Duke has a strict personality, and what he considers are His Highness's various activities in Shangshu Province, which will inevitably touch his side. Even if he decides to side with the crown prince, he is absolutely unwilling to offend You. In this way, if you have something to propose, he will neither support nor oppose it. It will be a dilemma for both sides. As long as you ask for it in person and only have a name in the Minister of Ministers, but go to the Ministry of War to perform duties, he will definitely agree. "

Li Ji is such a person.

Wen Tao, Wu Lue are all first-class talents, but their character is cautious and prudent, unwilling to take the slightest risk, and absolutely unwilling to openly offend the King of Jin because of taking refuge in the crown prince.

That being the case, why not simply send Li Zhi away, out of sight and out of sight?If Li Zhi caused any trouble in the Ministry of War, it would be Fang Jun's lax command, and it's none of Li Ji's business...

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly, as if he recognized Changsun Wuji's words.

Immediately, he frowned again and said, "But I don't know anything about military affairs! This marching formation is prepared before the enemy's opportunity, and it's not something that can be done by reading two military books. How can I live up to my father's trust, and how can I face more than a million Tigers of the Tang Dynasty?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Your Highness, you are too worried. Even if Fang Jun is in the military department, how can he control the battle at the front? Not to mention dispatching troops and arranging troops. Planning in the midst of the strategy is decisive than a thousand miles away." In addition, this is the responsibility of the Military Aircraft Department, and it is not up to the Ministry of War to make its own decisions. Therefore, after His Highness takes charge of the Ministry of War, what needs to be done is to smooth the passage of grain and fodder transportation, and stabilize the distribution of casting and maintenance of weapons, as long as these two things are done As long as everything is safe, after His Majesty wins the Eastern Expedition, your feats will naturally be second to none."

Li Zhi nodded to express his understanding, but still frowning.

He has something to say that he is not ashamed to say, that is, although he is not familiar with government affairs and cannot make any achievements in Shangshu Province, he still doesn't know anything about the operation of the Ministry of War.

But the Eastern Expedition is imminent, so how can there be so much time for him?

He didn't want to cause problems in the operation of the entire military department because of his incompetence, and then the food, fodder and military equipment could not be supplied in time during the Eastern Expedition. Even if the Eastern Expedition failed, as long as the soldiers were damaged, he would find it difficult to accept.

Fortunately, Changsun Wuji's eyes were clear. Looking at Li Zhi's expression, he knew why he was worried. He said softly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. When it comes to government affairs, we are certainly not as good as those old Confucians around the prince, but I am a noble from Guanlong. How can you not be familiar with the operation and deployment of food, fodder and military equipment since you started your career in the army? At that time, the veteran will arrange someone who is proficient in this way to assist you to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Having said that, Li Zhi has nothing to hesitate. If he wants to shake the crown prince's position as the crown prince, he must show upright results, not only to prove to his father that he is more suitable to be the crown prince, but also to show the world that he is more suitable. people watch.

Then he nodded and said: "In that case, please ask uncle to operate from it."

Changsun Wuji said happily: "Your Highness, don't worry, the old minister will definitely do his best to help His Highness ascend to the position of the crown prince. In the future, he will inherit the great rule, show his ambition to rise above the clouds, and create a great achievement that will last through the ages! By that time , even if the old minister has already returned to the dust, he should rest in peace under the Nine Springs with a smile on his face."

When Li Zhi heard this, he also felt his heart surge. He immediately got up and adjusted his clothes, and then he bowed to the ground, and said solemnly: "Uncle's kindness, Li Zhi will never forget it! I will swear here today that if I hold the sun and the moon in my hands, I will Share wealth and honor with the eldest grandson, life after life, never lose each other!"

*****
Tai Chi Palace.

His Majesty Li Er was kneeling on the floor mat, and there was an exquisite white porcelain tea set on the coffee table in front of him. The emerald green tea soup in the tea cup was rising with white mist, and the aroma was dense.

But he was still thinking about what Li Junxian reported just now...

The Ministry of War jumped from Fang Jun's hands and became the most powerful government office among the six. Treating the Ministry of War as his own territory, when he was about to go south, he appeared in the Ministry of War as the Duke of the newly entered Yue State, to consolidate his prestige, and beat his subordinates, which is the meaning of the question.

However, according to the report, the respect and admiration for Fang Jun from the top and bottom of the Ministry of War made His Majesty Li Er a little unhappy.

It’s not because he’s afraid of having bad intentions and using the Ministry of War to cultivate evil intentions, but because he wants to support King Jin to see if he might be more suitable for the position of crown prince than the crown prince. Fang Jun then began to secure the city and guard the position for the crown prince… …

Thinking about Li Ji's special entry to the palace not long ago, saying that Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was old and frail, and had already submitted a letter requesting to retire from office, admonishing the crown prince to be the inspector of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and entering the Ministry of Civil Affairs, His Majesty Li Er felt more and more at a loss .

The Ministry of War is the foundation of the prince. Although Liu Ji, the servant, is vacillating, he is more inclined to the prince. Zhongshu Ling Cen Wenwen is also a staunch supporter of the prince even if he is lying on the bed and cannot get off the ground. Fang Jun’s rectification was submissive, and Li Daozong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, needless to say, if the Ministry of Civil Affairs fell into the hands of the prince again...

Most of the court will become the prince's team.

Why should King Jin fight the prince?

Not to mention the King of Jin, even if Li Er issued an edict to make it easy to reserve, all the ministers in the hall would probably be able to refute...

This is not going to work, you have to find a way to support King Jin.

Picking up the teacup, he took a few sips of tea in a leisurely manner. Then His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows and asked Wang De, the chief servant who was waiting on the side: "You said, now that Mr. Fang is going south, Cui Dunli is acting as the agent of the Ministry of War. It is an important time to prepare for the logistics affairs of the Eastern Expedition, and Cui Dunli alone may not be able to control the overall situation, if it is feasible for the King of Jin to be the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs and act as an agent of the Ministry of Military Affairs?"

Wang De's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that the emperor really spared no effort in supporting King Jin...

"The old slave is just an eunuch, and he has not read many books. How dare he speak falsely about government affairs? Your Majesty forgives the sin, but the old slave really doesn't know."

His Majesty Li Er frowned, and said displeasedly: "If I tell you to say it, you can just say it, what's the point of being long-winded?"

Wang De was startled, and quickly said: "In this case, I beg Your Majesty to forgive this old slave for lying... From my point of view, King Jin is intelligent, filial, and a first-class talent. But in the end I am younger, so my experience is inevitably lacking, if it is normal, it is fine, it is a big deal to practice, and there is nothing wrong with making mistakes, but this is the critical moment of the Eastern Expedition, and the Ministry of War has a lot of things and heavy responsibilities, I am afraid that King Jin will not be able to handle it."

Even if he had to say it, he still had his own opinion, and his words were very much for Fang Jun's interests.
