Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2896 Internal Cracks
When we left the East Palace, it was getting late, the sky was very gloomy, and the sky was covered with dark clouds and gray.

For some reason, there was a lot of rain in summer this year, and in winter, heavy snow fell every now and then, and there were very few consecutive days of clear skies.

Fortunately, since Fang Jun was in charge of the Ministry of Industry, he has vigorously built river and canal water conservancy in various places in Guanzhong. When he was in Jingzhao Mansion, he established a "disaster emergency office" to connect various government offices in Guanzhong with the garrison, and spare no effort to strengthen various areas in peacetime. In terms of infrastructure construction, it can respond in time when facing extreme weather conditions, so that the losses caused by disasters can be minimized.

Not only did the people in Guanzhong sing praises and gratitude to Fang Jun, but Fang Jun himself was also a little proud.

Serving as an official and benefiting one side is the belief engraved in the bones of Chinese scholars since ancient times. There are still very few officials who really feed off the common people. Most officials are thinking about doing some practical things while filling their own pockets. , Anyway, leave a good reputation for the local people.

Leopards die to leave their skins, and people die to leave their names. Who would rather be condemned by everyone after death and have a bad reputation for thousands of years?

……

After returning home, he got out of the carriage at the door, and asked the servant who came up to meet him: "Is Governor Su in the mansion?"

The servant replied: "Su Dudu went out to visit relatives and friends in the morning, and he just came back now, resting in the guest room."

As Fang Jun walked towards the study, he said, "Go and tell Governor Su to come to the study, and say that I need to discuss something again."

"Here."

The servant quickly walked away and went to the place where Su Dingfang lived to report.

Fang Jun went back to the study alone, took off his official robes under the service of the maids, washed up briefly and changed into a normal uniform, ordered someone to make a pot of tea, brought some snacks, and ate a few yuan with the tea .

At noon, I didn't eat enough at Princess Jinyang's, and I didn't eat anything when I went to Liangyi Hall. I stayed in the East Palace all afternoon, and now I'm a little hungry.

Not long after, Su Dingfang knocked on the door and came in.

Fang Jun pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Brother Su, please sit down."

Holding the pot again, he poured a cup of tea for Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang quickly thanked him, took the tea with both hands, put it to his lips and took a sip, then put it on the tea table next to him, and asked, "Erlang called me, but do you have something to order?"

Fang Jun swallowed the snack in his mouth, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, took a sip of tea, then sat up straight, looked at Su Dingfang and asked, "How is the situation in Feiniaojing now?"

Su Dingfang was slightly taken aback, looked at Fang Jun's face, frowned and said: "When I returned to Chang'an, I didn't receive any news from Asuka, but there was an endless stream of merchant ships from the 'Eastern Datang Merchant' escorted by the navy. Arriving at Nambatsu, and then transporting the goods to Asuka from Nambatsu, nothing unexpected happened.”

He thought that there was something wrong with the Japanese country, which caused problems in commerce and trade.However, with the secret support of the navy, the Suga family slaughtered the emperor's lineage. Now everyone in Japan is screaming and beating, and they must fawn on the navy to have the confidence to defend Asuka under the watchful eye of wolves. What happened to the trade between the two countries?

Fang Jun shook his head, and said slowly: "Today at the Great Court Meeting, Su Worixiang met His Majesty on behalf of the Su Wo family, and mentioned that he wanted Datang to confirm his status and give him enough help so that he could defeat many feudal kingdoms and unify the Wa kingdom. , have been the vassal of the Tang Dynasty for generations..."

"Mother! Is Suga Hinata going to eat a leopard?"

Su Dingfang was furious immediately.

Although he has been stationed on Sado Island all year round, supervising the mining and transportation of silver mines on the island, but after all, he is the captain of the navy and he is holding all the intelligence and news from all over the country, so when Fang Jun said this, he immediately realized that this was the case. The Suga family is already uneasy with the status quo, and wants to further seize the power of the entire Wa country.

This seriously deviates from the interests of the navy.

It is precisely because of the tense situation in the Wa Kingdom and the separatism of all parties that the navy can turn around, so that all forces have to rely on the navy to ensure their existence.But once the Wa Kingdom is unified by the Suwo family, it can be closed for self-entertainment. At worst, some agreements of humiliating power and humiliating the country will be signed to benefit Datang to achieve stable development.

In this way, how can the Navy have both ways and ways to drive away tigers and wolves?
No matter from the standpoint of the Tang Dynasty or the navy, a unified and stable Wa country is absolutely not allowed to appear.

The Su Wo family naturally knew what the navy wanted, so they dared to come to Chang'an without communicating in advance, and pleaded in front of His Majesty Li Er to help him unify the Japanese country. Who gave them the courage?

Fang Jun sighed, and asked again: "Liu Renyuan... how is the recent movement in Feiniaojing?"

Su Dingfang was stunned immediately, his eyes widened and he said: "Erlang...can't you?"

The Soga family is now the nominal emperor of the Wa Kingdom, but their power is limited, and the government orders are not within the scope of the Yamato Kingdom, and they must always face the many feudal states around them that are trying to invade under the banner of revenge for the emperor. , the situation is in jeopardy, the navy has long been regarded as a life-saving straw, and all kinds of kneeling and licking are too late, how dare you still act while knowingly harming the interests of the navy?
In case the navy thinks that the Su'er family can no longer be trusted, and simply changes to another feudal country to replace the Su'er family, then the end of the Su'er family is imminent.

Under such circumstances, unless someone gave Su Wo's promise behind his back, he would never dare to go to Chang'an to speak nonsense.

And the highest officer of the navy stationed in Yamato Kingdom is Liu Renyuan, the vice-admiral of the navy who was ordered to be transferred to Asuka after King Wu went to Silla to become the king of Silla...

Fang Jun also had a headache, and sighed: "People die for money, birds die for food. Who knows whose ambition is? Some people see the benefits in front of them and think they can fight for it. Of course it's not impossible."

Su Dingfang was silent.

As Fang Jun said, who in the world can really resist the temptation of money, power, and sex?Today Liu Renyuan is only a lieutenant general of the navy, and only a brigade of soldiers is in charge. He has to ask for instructions and cannot make decisions on his own when he is in the capital of Asuka. For an ambitious person, it is really tormented.

Another point is that Liu Renyuan has always refused to obey Liu Renyuan.

There is only one letter difference between the two names, but their personalities are very different.Liu Rengui is calm, dignified, and cheerful, so Fang Jun ordered him to guard Da Nang. Although he only guarded Da Nang in name, in fact, because the merchant trade between Datang and Annan became more and more prosperous, a large number of merchants and people from Tang Dynasty moved to Annan, causing the population of Annan to skyrocket. , so Liu Rengui's actual control covers almost the entire prosperous area of ​​Honghe with Songping County as the core, and with the most powerful navy fleet in his hand, he seems to be king of the territory.

In fact, in today's Annan area, there are merchants and common people who privately call Liu Rengui the "King of Annan"...

And Liu Renyuan was stationed in Silla before, although Silla was not as prosperous as Annan, with less land and fewer people, but in the end it was still guarding one side, and Liu Rengui's status did not hurt Liu Rengui much.

However, the queen of Silla was all attached to the country, making Silla a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty Li Er even sent King Wu to Silla to become the new King of Silla. Then it was impossible for Liu Renyuan to continue to assist Silla and had to be Dispatched to Asuka.

The gap in status and strength before and after is really too great. If Liu Renyuan is unwilling, he secretly encourages Su Wo to beg His Majesty Li Er to allow him to unify the Wa Kingdom. ", alone in the town, the power is in hand.

There are very good reasons...

Su Ding's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "If there is no Erlang, how come the Royal Navy? If there is no Royal Navy, how can Liu Renyuan come to be where he is today? It is simply ungrateful, with both ends! Tomorrow morning, the last general will set off to return Wa Kingdom, first go to Asuka Capital to check the situation, if this is really what Liu Renyuan did, then the general will tie him back to Beijing and come to Erlang to apologize!"

He was really furious.

If you haven't experienced the idleness and ambitions of the early years of Zhenguan, you will not appreciate the great power brought by the admiral today, and the pleasure of being able to pursue your ambitions.

By chance, he was able to enter the navy, and he was favored by Fang Jun and entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Su Dingfang had already regarded the navy as Fang Jun's confinement, and he would protect him with death. Anyone who dared to harm the interests of the navy even Whoever betrays the navy is Su Dingfang's enemy!

Fang Jun was also very sad.

Once upon a time, I was very proud of being able to recruit Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan, Cheng Wuting and other famous generals with a long history, and I fully relied on and trusted them. I dreamed of creating a grand future with these people with great ambitions Merit, glory forever.

But I didn't expect that people's hearts are bottomless and their desires are hard to fill. After all, they still can't satisfy everyone's pursuit of power...

Once it is found out that Liu Ren is indeed willing to play tricks behind the scenes, no matter how it is dealt with in the end, cracks in the navy will inevitably appear, and it will be even more difficult to make up for it.

There are some people who can share adversity, but cannot share wealth.

No matter how much you give, it is far from enough in his eyes, far less attractive than the benefits he can see in front of him...
