Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2780 Dissatisfaction
After the grandson Yan left, Li Zhi sat alone in the hall.

The cold wind howled outside the window, and the doors and windows of the main hall were sealed very well, and there was not a trace of cold wind intruding, but Li Zhi still felt cold all over his body.

For the first time, he calmed down and contemplated the situation he was in.

For a long time, he thought that he could use the power of the nobles of Guanlong to achieve his goal of fighting for reserves. Although he really agreed with his father and the prince's policy of suppressing the family's powerful families, he had to rely on the power of the powerful families against his will. Complete the ambition in your heart.

But he always firmly believes that everything is under control, and when he achieves great success, he will regain the idea of ​​the father and the prince, continue to exert strong pressure on the clan, and even reduce the influence of the clan to the lowest level in history. This has reached the point where the country is rich and the army is strong, and the imperial power is enhanced.

For all this, he has full confidence.

However, at the moment when he heard about Fang Jun's assassination, Li Zhi found that his confidence was a little shaken.

Can such a fierce tiger like Changsun Wuji really be manipulated by him, and after using up its value, can he still be able to get rid of it easily?
As a child of the royal family, he can also be regarded as a member of Guan Long. The environment he grew up in made him fully aware of Guan Long's power.

It is more clear that once this energy goes crazy, it will be enough to destroy the world.

Just looking at the moment, he was a little shaken.

Since his father ascended the throne, he has adopted a conniving attitude towards court disputes, allowing various factions to fight openly and covertly. This is also a means to restrain the Guanlong nobles, although the actual effect is not very good.But the emperor has always had a bottom line, that is, no matter how much you fight, you must put it on the table, and you must restrain yourself from small actions in private, especially to use assassination and other means to eradicate dissidents and kill colleagues. This is absolutely unacceptable. Allowed.

Even with his father's love for Fang Jun, when the death of Qiu Shenji broke out, his father severely punished him. In the end, there was no evidence to prove that Fang Jun did it, so he gave up.

But now that Changsun Wuji blatantly assassinated Fang Jun, it is enough to show that the Guanlong nobles have become a little hysterical and have no taboos in order to safeguard their past interests and maintain their future influence on the court.

The Guanlong nobles who are already on the verge of losing control, can they still have the confidence to fully control it?

Li Zhi frowned.

It took a long while before he came back to his senses, seeing that it was getting dark outside, he called the servants to wait for him to change his clothes, and then ordered someone to harness the carriage, and drove all the way to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

There are also officials on duty in the public house at night to deal with some emergencies. Although the "Military Aircraft Department" has been established for a long time, because there has not been a large-scale war yet, the actual role of the "Military Aircraft Department" is less than the symbolic meaning. The handling of affairs still falls on the Ministry of War.

Seeing Li Zhi coming to the Yamen suddenly, the officer on duty hurried forward to greet him and asked, "Your Highness came to the Yamen so late, is there something wrong?"

Li Zhi looked at the dark yamen, nodded and said: "The ship transporting ordnance has arrived at the Tongguan waterway and is waiting for inspection to obtain the qualification to pass the customs. It is expected to arrive at the south of the city pier in the middle of the night. Immediately go to the residences of the officials to inform them. All the officials in the Ministry of War are on duty, and when the ships arrive, everyone will work together to load the weapons and ship them to Liaodong as soon as possible."

"Here!"

The transportation of this batch of ordnance is currently the top priority of the Ministry of War. The two officials on duty did not dare to neglect, so they hurriedly summoned a few small officials in the yamen, and even dispatched the gatekeepers to the officials' residences to inform them.

Li Zhi was sitting in the lobby of the Ministry of War. An official who stayed behind made him a pot of tea, and then he drank the tea and waited slowly.

Not long after, the officials from the Ministry of War have not yet arrived, but Li Junxian arrived first...

Li Junxian, dressed in military uniform, strode into the main hall of the Ministry of War and saluted Li Zhi: "Li Junxian, the last general, is ordered by His Majesty to come to assist His Highness."

Li Zhi was overjoyed: "Why does General Li need to be so polite? Come, please take a seat."

As he said, he took a teacup and poured tea for Li Junxian.

How dare Li Junxian ask His Royal Highness King Jin to pour tea for him?Hurry up and hold the teapot in his hand first, fill Li Zhi with tea first, then pour himself a cup, and sit on the lower seat holding the teacup.

Li Zhi turned his body slightly, and asked with a smile: "The ships from the south of the Yangtze River will arrive at the Tongguan waterway. I haven't informed my father yet, how can General Li arrive so quickly?"

Li Junxian said respectfully: "His Royal Highness entered the palace in the morning, and then His Majesty has notified the late general, or will fully cooperate with His Highness. Therefore, after the late general got the order, he sent people to various passes to grasp the movement, and he happened to know that Jiangnan The incoming ships have already arrived at Tongguan, and they can enter the customs later, so they immediately mobilized manpower to cooperate. At present, more than 200 experts have gone to Fangjiawan Wharf to closely inspect the past merchants, and must ensure that the loading and transportation of ordnance is safe. .”

Li Zhi praised: "Soldiers are expensive and fast. If General Li is in the army, he must be a first-class famous general!"

This is a real compliment.

He was most afraid that someone would sabotage when transporting ordnance, so he asked his father for help. Now Li Junxian has already arranged everything before he asked him to assign specific tasks, so that he can save his worry and effort, how can he be dissatisfied?

It's just that Li Junxian just smiled when he heard this, and said respectfully: "Your Highness's praise, I will never be ashamed of it. It's just a dog guarding the gate. With His Majesty shielding you from the wind and rain, how can you do trivial things?" Compared with the generals who climbed ice, lay on snow and competed in the frontier frontier, who were shrouded in horse leather? Ashamed, ashamed."

Li Junxian has always been dissatisfied with his position as the commander-in-chief of the "Hundred Knights". He leads a group of men to pry doors and press locks all day long, and listens everywhere. Dark and dirty work, where is the home of a good man?
Only fighting for supremacy on the battlefield and charging into battle can live up to this ability!
Besides, I know too many royal secrets in my position, once a person knows too many secrets, he will be feared by others.It's okay for His Majesty to trust him now, but who knows when His Majesty will become suspicious of him?Especially once the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he will be the first threat to be cut off...

Only fools are willing to do such a job if they can't live up to their life's ambitions and fight fiercely on the battlefield, and there is always the danger of overturning and death.

But right now, His Majesty trusts and relies heavily on him. Although he once revealed his desire to go to the frontier in a circumstantial manner, he was stopped several times by His Majesty Li Er, and he dared not mention it again...

My heart is still depressed.

Li Zhi didn't understand Li Junxian's psychology, but he felt that he didn't seem very happy, so he changed the subject and talked about business: "This batch of ordnance is of great importance, and a little carelessness will delay the battle preparation of the Liaodong army, which will lead to the next year's war. The Eastern Expedition began in spring, so there is no room for loss. This king has just been appointed to the Ministry of War, and he is not very familiar with the officials under his command. It is inevitable that there will be omissions when arranging and dispatching, and we have to rely on General Li to help us a lot."

Li Junxian knew the elegant meaning after listening to the string song, and understood that it was not a matter of familiarity with the officials, but worried that those officials would make trouble, so he nodded and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will definitely go all out in the end. From the beginning of shipment to the arrival in Liaodong, the whole process will be closely monitored, and no omissions will be allowed."

Li Zhi clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "It should be like this!"

With the supervision of "Hundred Knights", even if someone is daring and wants to make troubles, it will not be easy...

While talking, the officials of the Ministry of War who received the notification arrived one after another.

Right in the main hall, Li Zhi called all the officials above Lang Zhong together, held a brief meeting, and assigned the tasks one by one.

At the end, he looked around and warned: "This king has not been in office for a long time, and everyone may not know his style of work. He has never been stingy with rewards for those who have done their best. , once this king finds out, he will be punished severely!"

Such a time is not the time to show gentle demeanor, it is necessary to strike a warning to make these people have some scruples in their hearts.

He really couldn't bear the consequences of losing all his prestige if he made a mistake...

Headed by Cui Dunli, a group of officials from the Ministry of War hurriedly got up and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, this batch of ordnance has a great impact. We know in our hearts that no matter what, we will surely arrive in Liaodong smoothly, so that the Liaodong army can prepare for battle as soon as possible. Goguryeo can be destroyed like a broken bamboo!"

These words are not only a guarantee, but also an attitude - we are not of one mind with you, but when it is time to fight, we will definitely not affect the overall situation for the sake of fighting.
