Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2779 Ask the Emperor for help
No one can know it by birth, especially those in the officialdom who are intrigued and dealt with practically need to be sharpened and accumulated bit by bit. Like Fang Jun, who can easily get started with official duties soon after entering the officialdom, It is already very rare, like Li Zhi, who grew up within the palace walls since he was a child, and did not know the sufferings of the world, so how could he be able to deal with practical affairs so easily?
This is not just relying on a mouthful of lip service, you have to come up with real materials and convince the people under your hands to make things happen.

So although he is optimistic that Li Zhi's temperament is more suitable to be the king of a country, he also has enough patience to allow him to make mistakes.

When Li Zhi heard his father's question, he had a sad face, sighed, and said helplessly: "In the past, my ministers also served in Shangshu Province, and thought that even if they were not outstanding, they could handle official duties with ease. But now they are in the Ministry of War. Only then did I realize that the difficulty of practice is no less than ten or a hundred times that of Shang Shuxing. It is just that the difficulty of practice is nothing more than that, and it can be managed with some effort, but this minister is really powerless to deal with the way of the human heart."

His Majesty Li Er said warmly, raised his sword eyebrows immediately, and asked in a deep voice: "Someone deliberately made things difficult? You are really brave. You are my prince and the chief officer of the Ministry of War. Don't those people dare to ignore their official duties?" , purely trying to make things difficult for you? Tell me who they are, and my father will clean them up for you."

Li Zhi hurriedly said: "My father misunderstood, and no one was purely trying to make things difficult. Although my son is blunt, he is not stupid. He can resist it with sharp swords and spears. I am afraid that some people are sneaky and dare not show their faces. But stumbling in the back, it's hard to guard against."

Naturally, he couldn't let His Majesty Li Er come forward to settle the military affairs for him, so what kind of person would Li Zhi become?What's more, even if those people bowed their heads and ears under the majesty of the emperor, they were not sincerely surrendering. It seemed that they had controlled the entire military department, but it was meaningless.

His Majesty Li Er felt that this childish slave came here today, and there was always something in his words, so he couldn't help asking: "But what did you notice?"

Li Zhi pondered for a while, and said truthfully: "It's not that I have noticed something, maybe it's because I'm narrow-minded and villainous, and I'm always afraid that someone will play tricks behind my back and strike me unexpectedly."

"Ah,"

His Majesty Li Er laughed, took a sip of tea, and said with a half-smile: "Speaking of tricks behind the scenes, your uncle is a first-class expert. I really don't believe that anyone can get his hands on the tricks." back?"

This remark was a bit embarrassing, Li Zhi smiled and said: "My uncle is certainly shrewd, but if I want to make a difference, I can't rely on my uncle for everything. I should face difficulties by myself and gain experience."

These words actually express my position: I use the power of Changsun Wuji to fight for reserves, but I have my own bottom line, I know what I can do and what I can't do, just rest assured just fine.

His Majesty Li Er naturally understood, felt a little relieved, stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Then why don't you tell my father, what kind of problem did you encounter?"

Li Zhi sighed again, and expressed his own guess after Liu Shi's point, but skipped Liu Shi's link.

It's fine if you can't solve the problem. If you need someone to point it out even to find the problem, that's too useless.

His Royal Highness King Jin is a shameless...

His Majesty Li Er frowned, looked at Li Zhi and asked, "Who told you this?"

Li Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he refused to admit it: "The words of returning to the emperor's father are not mentioned by others and my son, but just my own guess."

His Majesty Li Er snorted, did not continue to ask, thought for a while, and said: "Later, I will inform Li Junxian for my father, and ask him to send some experts from the 'Baiqisi', starting from the loading of the ordnance until it arrives. Liaodong, supervise along the way to ensure no mistakes."

Li Zhi was overjoyed: "Thank you, Father! Hehe, maybe this is just my son's heart to treat a gentleman's heart. The prince brother will not hesitate to delay the preparation of the Liaodong army to attack my son, but be careful. It’s better to be more cautious.”

His Majesty Li Er was silent.

The father and son talked for a while, and Li Zhi quit.

His Majesty Li Er looked at the back of the son-in-law, sighed softly, and shook his head.

When Empress Wende died, there were only three children who were babbling, Zhinu, Sizi, and Xiaoyao. Except for Xiaoyao who was too young to be nursed and cared for by a wet nurse, Zhinu and Sizi were raised by his side, getting along day and night , the feelings are naturally extraordinary.

Knowing son Moruo father.

Regarding this son who was brought up by himself, His Majesty Li Er naturally understood his intelligence, but he also knew that his lack of broad-mindedness was his shortcoming.

Compared with this, although the prince is indecisive and benevolent, he is absolutely worthy of his reputation. Now that he has Fang Jun as his assistant, he already has great ambitions and a broad mind, so how can he not hesitate to ruin the winter preparations of the Liaodong army? , In order to attack Jin Wang's prestige?
The childish slave keeps saying that he has a villainous heart, but he really has a villainous heart.

However, now that he is trying to cultivate young slaves, sometimes he needs to be taught, and sometimes he needs to be guided, so that he can understand the core of government affairs by himself. He believes that with the wisdom of young slaves, he will be reborn in three to five years. After eight years of cultivation, it will become a generation of Mingjun.

It is also a great achievement to single-handedly train one of his most proud sons.

It's just a pity for the prince...

But what can be done?

In the family, country and world, in the position of king, the first consideration is the inheritance of the country, how can the relationship between father and son be the first priority?

That may be fair to the prince, but it is unfair to the people of the world.

*****
Li Zhi returned to the palace for dinner, made a pot of tea and sat in the flower hall with Princess Jin for a while, chatting, then felt a little sleepy, and returned to the bedroom to rest after taking a bath.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to lie down, a servant knocked on the door and reported that someone from the eldest grandson's family had come to see him.

Although disturbing Haomeng is not very refreshing, but now I and the eldest grandson's family are in a close relationship, and it is difficult to separate each other, and knowing that the eldest grandson's family must have something important to do at this time, I have to force myself and put on a coat The robe came to the main hall.

The person who came was the eldest Sun Yan, the fifth son of Changsun Wuji.

The eldest grandson Yan was sitting in the hall, when he saw Li Zhi coming out from the back hall, he got up quickly to salute: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Jin."

Li Zhi sat down, waved his hands, and said with a smile, "They are all brothers of our own family, why should we be so alien? Sit down and talk."

"Here."

Changsun Yan sat down as he said, and Li Zhi asked, "What orders does uncle have for coming so late?"

Changsun Yan then said: "It was my father who ordered me to come and inform His Highness that the ships hired from the south of the Yangtze River have arrived outside Tongguan, and they can enter the customs in the middle of the night and assemble at Fangjiawan Wharf. His Highness will be able to command The officers of the Ministry of War will ship the equipment. There are people in my family who are doing business in Liaodong. I wrote yesterday, saying that the weather in Liaodong is already very cold. There have been several strong winds. It is expected that it will snow in a few days. Your Highness needs to hurry up. Just do it."

Liaodong is bitterly cold, and the road conditions are even worse. It is usually fine, but once heavy snow falls, it will be difficult to move even a single step.In case of heavy snowfall in Liaodong, even if these ordnance can be transported to Liucheng Wharf, it is impossible to transport them to the places where various troops are stationed.

That's why I'm so eager.

Li Zhi immediately lifted his spirits, and he was a little strange when he was overjoyed: "That Fang Jun is now in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, it is impossible for the major nobles to mobilize such a large-scale fleet silently. Could it be that he didn't try to stop it? "

There are few ships in Guanzhong. Although shipping has gradually become the most important part of Datang's domestic transportation, it started late after all, and it is impossible to gather more than a hundred cargo ships needed to transport ordnance.If you want to gather so many ships at once, only those Jiangnan gentry can do it.

But now that Fang Jun is in the south of the Yangtze River, it is impossible for such a large-scale ship transfer to escape his eyes and ears. Once he notices it, he will definitely block it, which will definitely delay the plan to transport ordnance.

So when Changsun Wuji mentioned this idea at first, Li Zhi didn't have much success.

But there is no other way, so Li Zhi has been worried...

Changsun Yan is now the one in charge of foreign affairs among Changsun Wuji's sons. He is highly regarded by Changsun Wuji, so he knows a lot of inside information. It went smoothly and was not blocked by anything. However, according to Jiangnan Kuaimalai, Fang Jun was assassinated a few days ago. Fortunately, he was only slightly injured and not serious. You don't have the energy to stop us from doing things."

Li Zhi was taken aback, and lost his voice: "Fang Jun was assassinated?"

A few days ago, Qiu Xinggong even went to his father to confess, saying that Changsun Wuji wanted to send Qiu Yingqi south to assassinate Fang Jun, but Qiu Yingqi did not go, but sneaked back to Chang'an to assassinate Gao Jifu.

Unexpectedly, Fang Jun was still assassinated...

Was Changsun Wuji instigated behind this?
