Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2787 Li Second Godson
His Majesty Li Er looked at his dejected son, feeling a little distressed and a little funny.

Feeling distressed that such a smart son was played hard by others, it is very likely that Li Zhi will lack self-confidence and affect the development of character.The funny thing is that this kid has always seemed peaceful and humble, but the pride in his bones is deeply rooted. Now that he has been wronged, he is acting like a rare child...

He ordered Wang De to make a pot of tea, and asked the waiter to bring some pastries, and said softly, "I was busy last night, and I haven't had breakfast yet, have I? Come, eat something to fill your belly, and then return to the mansion later. , let’s have a good meal.”

Li Zhi was moved in his heart, picked up a piece of pastry and chewed it, feeling a little ashamed.

It is true that he did not sleep all night with his homework, but it was not because he had to be busy loading the ordnance, but lay tossing and turning on the hard bed in the shabby house, his mind was full of Lady Wu's alluring face and charming demeanor, quite a bit Color imparts soul and mind, mind does not belong to...

Seeing his expression, His Majesty Li Er thought that he was ashamed of being tricked by others, so he comforted him: "No one in the world can know it from birth. , and finally achieved brilliant achievements. No one has faults? You must face up to your mistakes, think about where your mistakes are, and be vigilant and correct them at all times in the future. Only in this way can you achieve great things."

Li Zhi nodded his head to be taught, felt his father's love, his eyes were a little red, and then remembered that he already knew that someone was going to destroy it, so he begged his father to send "Hundred Knights" for his own use, but the thief still took advantage of it He entered, played a fierce trick, his self-esteem was greatly frustrated, his tone was a little choked, and he said in a hoarse voice: "This matter must have been done by Fang Jun. He supported the prince with all his strength and opposed me everywhere. His men and horses, I can't order them at all. This time, he just wants to completely destroy his prestige, and maybe even hide those weapons in his mansion, and then persuade those censors to try their best to impeach him..."

In the middle of speaking, he was interrupted by His Majesty Li Er's raised palm.

His Majesty Li Er sat up straight, his face sank like water, and he stared at Li Zhi coldly, making Li Zhi feel hairy, and said in a low voice, "Father, my son, did you say something wrong?"

His Majesty Li Er did not answer.

After a short moment of silence, His Majesty Li Er said slowly: "When Fang Jun was promoted to Jingzhao Yin, he wrote a couplet in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, 'Gong Sheng Ming, Lian Sheng Wei', which is still hanging in Jing Zhao Someone once asked him what he meant, and he said: officials do not fear my rigor but my incorruptibility; Vigorous."

At this point, he paused, as if to give Li Zhi some time to think, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, and then continued: "Six words, but they explain how the superiors should treat themselves. Essence, but it is not easy to achieve this. Only with magnanimity can you be fair, and if you are selfless in heart, you can be honest. Only in this way can you be under control without rebuttal, and sentence without resentment. You have been smart since childhood Your acumen is far beyond that of ordinary people, and your father can see it, but you know that you think you are far beyond the prince's ability, but you don't know, maybe you surpass the prince in every way, and you don't care about the prince's gentle manners and women's benevolence, but It is the prince's attitude of treating courtiers equally, which is very difficult for you to achieve."

Li Zhi was terrified and wanted to speak, but was interrupted again by His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er looked at him with burning eyes and said, "Fang Junfei is an ordinary courtier. As the Duke of Yue, he has reached the limit of being a minister. Every person like this is a pillar of the empire. Not to mention you These remarks are completely groundless speculation and groundless. Even if the evidence is solid, it cannot be so arbitrary. You need to consider all the things involved in the whole matter. No matter whether the courtiers support you or not, they will think you are reckless in their hearts, especially Fang Jun’s supporters will think you are mean and ungrateful. Since you openly believe that this was done by Fang Jun, you must be punished. Otherwise, how can you convince the public if you know that he broke the law and don’t deal with it? Isn’t Tang’s law a plaything? But once you impose punishment, it will cause turmoil in the entire court, and if it is serious, it may even lead to the decline of the empire.”

These words are definitely not alarmist.

Just like Changsun Wuji, there are countless dirty things that sit behind his back, but why does His Majesty Li Er, who has always been known for his decisiveness and heroism, always give him grace and rewards, even when he openly resists his own national policies? , and adopt more gentle tactics instead of thunderous suppression?

It's easy to suppress an eldest grandson Wuji, but it's a big deal to make all the Guanlong nobles feel alienated and even rebellious.

The existence of the empire today is the result of His Majesty Li Er and countless ministers' painstaking efforts and sleepless nights. How could countless people's efforts be wasted because of a mere eldest grandson Wuji, and the glorious and prosperous world that is about to start will die halfway?
Things in this world are not black and white.

Sometimes you have to be aware of the other party's mistakes but still adopt a posture of forbearance and compromise, so that you can become a hero who creates great things.

If you can't even do "forbearance", what else can you do?
In his opinion, Li Zhi was too aggressive and had never encountered any real setbacks. Although he was obviously put on by others and suffered grievances, such grievances were not necessarily a bad thing.

Even if it is real fine steel, how can it be casted into a peerless magic weapon without repeated tempering?

Li Zhi's face was ashamed, and his heart was filled with fear and resentment.

He knew that he had made a mistake, but he was very dissatisfied with saying that he was not as good as the prince just for this one item.Don't you have courage?He doesn't think so.Just like Fang Jun, although this man is his brother-in-law, he has never been close to him. Facing himself and his son who grew up with him since he was a child, that guy will dote on Sizi even if Sizi wants the moon in the sky They would think of a way to pick it off, but they treated themselves indifferently and distantly.

In recent years, he has become the prince's humerus minister, always against himself.

If it was someone else, I'm afraid Fang Jun would have hated Fang Jun so much, wouldn't he hate him so much?But I didn't have much hatred.

He often thinks that although Fang Jun is against him now, if one day he counterattacks and successfully wins the position of crown prince, and even one day becomes the king of the world, he will still treat a capable minister like Fang Jun kindly, even Be faithful.

Isn't that just being generous?

But he absolutely did not dare to refute his father's words, so he could only lower his head and said aggrievedly: "What the father taught is that the son is taught, and he must correct it in the future."

What kind of person is His Majesty Li Er, one can see Li Zhiyan's insincerity at a glance, but he is not disappointed. It is understandable for this son to have a little temper at a young age.Having said that, how can a person who really has no temper control such a huge empire?
It's like a limp prince who doesn't have much opinion, he won't have any future...

At this time, there was a report from the servant at the door, saying that Jing Zhaoyin Ma Zhou and Minister of the Ministry of Justice Zhang Liang jointly submitted the memorial to the Zhengshitang, and all the famous ministers and assistants in the Zhengshitang submitted it to the palace.

Wang De took the memorial and came in and put it on His Majesty Li Er's desk.

His Majesty Li Er picked up the memorial and watched it carefully. Although the eyebrows were not stretched, his complexion looked much better.

Then he handed the memorial to Li Zhi and said, "You can see for yourself."

Li Zhi was at a loss. Did Ma Zhou and Zhang Liang also impeach him?The weight of these two people is not comparable to those noisy censors at Yushitai, so they hurriedly watched ten lines at a glance, and then relaxed a little.

In the memorandum, Ma Zhou and Zhang Liang mentioned that after receiving the report, they first rushed to Fangjiawan Wharf, confirmed that the ordnance they found was the batch loaded by the Ministry of War last night, and immediately stopped the fleet before it left the customs , After a detailed investigation, it was found that one of the boats had too shallow a draft, and three packs of ordnance were indeed lost after boarding the boat for inspection, and now all people and boats have been detained.

However, considering the urgency of this batch of ordnance, all the other ships were allowed to leave the customs and go to Liaodong. The Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will deploy elite personnel to solve the case as soon as possible...

Fortunately, all the ships were not stopped with great fanfare to cooperate with the investigation, otherwise the fleet transportation schedule would be delayed. Once the snow fell in Liaodong, the ordnance could not reach the army, and the first person responsible was Jin Wang Li Zhi who was in charge of the ordnance loading and transportation.

At that time, Li Zhi will have to shoulder this responsibility, and his prestige will be discredited.

Apparently everything was just like what my father had said before, although these people were doing their own thing behind the scenes, they also strictly guarded the bottom line, which did not hinder the battle of the Liaodong army, but kept things within a certain range, and their lethality was not too strong.

Of course, if it can't be resolved properly, Li Zhi will still lose face, and he will not be able to straighten his back when he speaks in the Ministry of War...
