Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2790 Jane in the Emperor's Heart

Fang Jun thought that he understood His Majesty Li Er's temperament quite well, but the strange appearance in front of him really confused him, and he didn't know what he was doing.

He had no choice but to pretend to be terrified, rubbing his hands together, looking at His Majesty Li Er with pitiful eyes, and said: "I have a bad temper, and I have never been wronged. This time I was assassinated in the south of the Yangtze River and survived, so It is inevitable that there is a little resentment in my heart, and I acted a little more recklessly. Your Majesty knows clearly that this humble minister has already realized his mistake. If similar situations happen in the future, he will definitely put his majesty's interests and the interests of the empire first. Even if his body is broken, he should not In case of damage to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty."

His Majesty Li Er held his teacup in the air, clicked his tongue, and realized that he had nothing to say...

Is someone wrong?
Originally going to the south of the Yangtze River was dragged away by his own son, and taking over the goods and breeding industry that the Taiyuan Wang family and other aristocrats compensated Fang Jun, in essence, it was almost a begging, and this was a great favor.

As for the various behaviors in the south of the Yangtze River, it may be a bit presumptuous, but it is definitely not a mistake.

What's more, he just left Chang'an for his son to go to dangerous places in the south of the Yangtze River, and was assassinated and seriously injured. He is not only an emperor, but also the father of Wei Wang Li Tai. He is going through fire and water for your son. You have the nerve to catch me Wrong place to bite and not let go?
Then again, when someone was assassinated and almost died, instead of retaliating wantonly, on the contrary, he restrained and forbeared in consideration of the overall situation.

How can the emperor criticize such a good minister who values ​​love and righteousness, abides by the law and takes the overall situation into consideration?
Just looking at the terrified look on Fang Jun's face, His Majesty Li Er's thought of beating him up disappeared immediately.

Not only can't you beat it, but you have to comfort it with kind words and reward it with gentle words, otherwise, who will work hard for you, the emperor, in the future?
As for the theft of ordnance... Although he was sure that Fang Jun must have done it, firstly, there was no conclusive evidence, and secondly, the other party also controlled it very well, which only damaged King Jin's prestige in the Ministry of War It did not have a substantial impact on the court situation.

Since the king of Jin is allowed to compete for the crown prince, the prince has to be allowed to fight back.

Now someone has resorted to a trick to plant the stolen two packages of ordnance on King Jin, and the public opinion in the court is accusing King Jin of dereliction of duty, and the two packages of ordnance have become a sharp knife hanging in the air, threatening them all the time Looking at the King of Jin, maybe one day the prince is forced into a desperate situation, and he only needs to release the two packs of ordnance casually, which is enough to have a subversive impact on the situation of the King of Jin.

This time, King Jin lost completely.

But Fang Jun did it neatly...

After taking a sip of the tea in his teacup, His Majesty Li Er glared at Fang Jun, pretending to be displeased, and said, "It's so cheap that it's too good to be honest!"

Fang Jun pretended to be puzzled: "How can I take advantage of the fact that my minister escaped from death? It is clearly a big loss."

His Majesty Li Er snorted angrily: "Do I have to make it clear?"

Fang Jun shrank his neck, and immediately confessed: "Your Majesty said that the humble minister took advantage, so it must be the humble minister who took advantage..."

Hold the pot to refill the teacup of His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er's face was slightly pale, and he signaled Fang Jun to drink tea, and then asked: "The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, do you think it is still stable?"

Fang Jun naturally understood the meaning of the words, nodded his head and said: "Nowadays the world is peaceful, the barbarians are intimidated, and the remnants of the Turks are fleeing far away in the desert. , crossed the hills, migrated south along the flat and fertile plains, and conquered the land near the West Sea (Caspian Sea). Located on a plateau, the conditions are bitter and cold, and now the country is facing a food shortage caused by highland barley wine. No matter how ambitious Songtsan Gampo is, it will be difficult to arouse the desire to invade the state capital of Tang Dynasty before stabilizing the country. Goguryeo is certainly unruly tame, but now Liaodong has assembled hundreds of thousands of tigers, and it will only be possible to move eastward in the spring of next year. The whole Goguryeo is trembling. If self-protection is not enough, how dare you make trouble? There are no strong enemies outside, but the inside is stable. Under the current situation, as long as someone has a heart of disobedience, he will be suppressed by the power of the whole country. The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are all selfish and selfish, and they dare not risk the disgrace of the world and give away their hundreds of thousands of years of inheritance. Therefore, they may oppose the imperial court due to various interests, but if they go further, it is absolutely impossible."

Anyone who wants to raise the flag to rebel, either there is a strong enemy in the frontier, or the natural disaster prevails in the country, shaking the core of the dynasty's rule, and then there is a slight chance of winning.

But now that there are no strong enemies around the Tang Dynasty, and the country is more prosperous, whoever dares to rebel at this time is really tired of life, casually hundreds of thousands of troops can whip Jiangnan in an instant, who can Block the edge?
What's more, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the merchants are making money every day. Whoever is full will follow you to do this kind of business that will kill your head...

What His Majesty Li Er is most afraid of is that when the battle goes wrong, the people in Jiangnan will wait for the opportunity to shake the country.

He lives in Chang'an, after all, thousands of miles away from Jiangnan, the Jiangnan shown in the memorabilia may not be the real appearance at present, and Fang Jun has always been familiar with Jiangnan, and now he has just returned from Jiangnan, and he has a very close relationship with the Jiangnan gentry After all, one must know the basics.

Now that Fang Jun said so, His Majesty Li Er let out a long breath.

As long as he can let go of his hands and feet and start the Eastern Expedition, he will have full confidence to overthrow Goguryeo. At that time, there will be only one powerful enemy around the Tang Dynasty, Tubo, and the thousands of miles of frontier will be completely peaceful and peaceful. Without large-scale wars involved, the national power will surely be in Immediately to the next level.

The glorious and prosperous age that has never been seen in the ages will come completely in less than three to five years.

By that time, his grand plan of "one emperor through the ages" will be completely completed, and it will be just around the corner to surpass Qin Huang and Han Wu!

His Majesty Li Er suppressed the excitement surging in his heart, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and asked Fang Jun with a smile: "It is true that you have been treated badly in the past, but I am very relieved that you can bear the humiliation for the sake of the overall situation. How is it?" , what position will I arrange for you during the Eastern Expedition?"

These words are almost tantamount to giving Fang Jun a meritorious service at his fingertips.

In the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, although the Eastern Expedition is unlikely to be smooth sailing, the final victory is almost certain. It is the last military exploit.

Fang Jun was moved in his heart, but he shook his head and said: "The humble minister has not been in power for a few years, but he is blessed with His Majesty's love, and the officials are high and powerful, so they are already terrified and terrified, fearing that they will lose. Your Majesty's great love. Now I don't need those meritorious service to seal my wife and son, so I won't participate in the Eastern Expedition. At that time, Your Majesty's Eastern Expedition, the prince will supervise the country, and I am willing to lead the soldiers under my command to guard Chang'an and Guanzhong, so as to protect Your Majesty This is the foundation of the Great Tang Dynasty, so that His Majesty can rest easy and go all out to conquer Liaodong and create the great cause of an emperor through the ages!"

His Majesty Li Er was very pleased.

In fact, everyone knows that the upcoming Eastern Expedition may be the last major battle in recent years. If you want to encounter such a good opportunity to win meritorious deeds, you will have to wait for an unknown number of years before starting the battle with Tubo .Countless people in the government and the opposition are looking forward to such an opportunity with red eyes.

However, although the scale of the Eastern Expedition is huge, the process of the strategy has almost been drawn up. Each army participating in the war has its own tasks and cannot be easily changed. Except for these generals who are almost set in stone, it is almost impossible for others to participate in it.

You can't just let all the troops of Datang take turns to fight a national war to pieces, just to share the merits with the big guys, right?

No matter how powerful Datang's army is, no matter how great the chances of winning, it is impossible to play like this.

Only the Navy is an exception. As the founder of the Royal Navy, as long as Fang Jun expresses his desire to join the battle, and His Majesty Li Er agrees, then he can participate in the battle in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. The commander of the navy is Su Dingfang...

So as long as Fang Jun expresses his willingness to make another battle, no one can find fault.

But even if you can't find any faults, it doesn't mean you are convinced. As long as Fang Jun goes into battle, it is obvious that His Majesty Li Er treats him differently.

So Fang Jun gave up this opportunity simply and neatly, which made His Majesty Li Er more confident when rejecting others.
