Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2925
Since the rise of Confucianism, advocating moral character has created a world of face-saving.

As long as a person's moral character is good, then what he does is right. Even if he does something wrong, people are willing to believe that there is something hidden in it and do it as a last resort; ridiculed by people.

Changsun Huan is such a person.

This person is narrow-minded, mean and jealous, not to mention unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unrighteous. How reliable can it be?

His Majesty Li Er's face was gloomy, and he kept his hands behind his back and said nothing.

Li Ji is still the old god, staying out of the matter.

Xiao Yu shook his head and smiled wryly, it is inconvenient to say anything more...

Only the eldest grandson Wuji could not avoid it, so he could only stand up and defend his son: "The words of the Duke of Yue do have some truth. After receiving the teachings of Empress Wende, I am grateful for the grace of Your Majesty and Empress Wende. I will never make mistakes again and again. This time I am lurking in the imperial city of Goguryeo and stealing this top-secret information. I will not hesitate to risk myself. The risk of life is also for redemption, I implore His Majesty to give the dog a chance to take the blame and perform meritorious service."

As he spoke, he straightened his waist, prostrated himself on the ground, and burst into tears.

Fang Jun sneered and said: "Don't you want to do such a foolish act, Mr. Zhao Guo. This is His Majesty's imperial study. What you are discussing is about the great affairs of the empire. How can you be emotional? In addition, I would like to remind Mr. Zhao, your son What I committed was not a mistake, but a great crime of treason!"

Are you kidding me, the crime of treason can also be used to make meritorious service and atone for it?
And looking at His Majesty's expression, it seems that he had communicated with Changsun Wuji in private, and even promised Changsun Wuji something...

Uncharacteristically, Changsun Wuji did not confront Fang Jun, but cried to His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty knows clearly that the dog is heinous, but his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty has never changed. Besides, my eldest grandson's family is in Chang'an. A fake Pyongyang city defense map was released, which led to the defeat of the army. Such a crime of deceiving the king will inevitably involve the whole family to pay for it. No matter how bastard the dog is, how can he do such disloyal and unfilial things? Your Majesty, please be aware."

His Majesty Li Er had a sullen face, stroked his beard, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to be the auxiliary machine. Although the words of the Duke of Yue are a little fierce, they are also unreasonable. If Changsun Huan's map is true, then I will allow him to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Jun took a step forward, and said solemnly: "My son said: If you are upright, you will follow orders; if you are not upright, you will not follow orders. Your Majesty is the king of the empire, and he speaks with the constitution of heaven in his mouth." Fa Sui decides life and death with one word. If His Majesty is willing to forgive the eldest Sun Huan who committed the crime of treason, where will the court law be placed? Will someone commit a major crime in the future, can he also use meritorious deeds to atone for it? Tomorrow, the descendants of Hou Junji will come to His Majesty and ask, since you were able to forgive Elder Sun Huan, why didn’t you forgive Hou Junji who fought side by side with you and made great achievements for the empire? How should Your Majesty answer?”

He would absolutely not allow Changsun Huan to return to Chang'an.

It is not the personal grievances between him and Changsun Huan, let alone the fear that Changsun Huan will rekindle his old relationship with Princess Changle after returning to Chang'an, but that once Changsun Huan is pardoned, not only will the fairness and authority of the laws of the Tang Dynasty be greatly damaged, but also It will make the momentum of the Guanlong lineage skyrocket.

How arrogant Guan Long will be if even a son who committed the crime of treason can be forgiven and pardoned again?
Even those middle-of-the-road factions in the court who are sitting on the wind and waves will definitely follow the trend and completely fall to the Guanlong nobles...

His Majesty Li Er looked livid and glared at Fang Jun.

He had already promised Changsun Wuji in private that as long as Changsun Huan could make great contributions in the Eastern Expedition, he would forgive him as appropriate and return to Chang'an, but he would not be allowed to be an official for life.

However, being confronted face to face by Fang Jun at this moment, what shame does he have?
I really wish I could fly out and kick this mallet away...

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, His Majesty Li Er said coldly: "At the time of the national war, anyone who has made contributions to the empire should be rewarded. Those who have made meritorious service should be promoted to rank and conferred on their wives and sons. How can one be stubborn and stick to the rules if one commits crimes and makes meritorious deeds to atone for one's crimes, and mobilizes everyone's efforts to defeat a powerful enemy?"

Fang Junyi was not afraid, he didn't give Li Er Majesty any face at all, and said with a straight neck: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. What I abide by is the laws of the empire, not bad habits and old rules. The establishment of laws is to give people behavior. Let people know what can be done and what cannot be done. If you are always flexible and ignore the golden rules and iron laws, how can you govern the world and how can you win the hearts of the people? If your majesty insists on this, the humble minister dares to ask, and he will fight with Jie , Zhou, You, and Li are different?"

Xia Jie is obscene and arrogant, Shang Zhou is cruel, King You is stupid, and King Li is greedy. These are called "four violence", so they are those who are unkind to bring disaster, Jie, Zhou, You, and Li are also; those who love others and benefit others to get blessings, Yu, Tang, Wen, and Wu are also.

This is a list of His Majesty Li Er and those ancient tyrants side by side...

Xiao Yu's complexion changed drastically, and he stopped him: "Erlang, be careful!"

Fang Jun was not moved at all, and looked straight at His Majesty Li Er with clear eyes, without any fear.

His Majesty Li Er was so angry that his beard turned up, his square face flushed instantly, his eyes glared like copper bells, and he shouted angrily with his halberd fingers: "Zhuzi! How dare you insult me ​​like this?"

motherfucker!

Your mother's "Zi Yue" has come out, what else can I say?
Simply deceiving!
Fang Jun's words were sonorous: "I only want to maintain the justice of the law, how can I disrespect your majesty? However, where the law lies, it must be carved by gold and stone, and the world is all accurate. If it can be imposed based on the selfish desire of the people What is the justice of change? If there is no justice, who will regard the law as the standard in the future and dare not violate it? Once the law is in vain, the Tang Dynasty will be overthrown in an instant, and your majesty's reputation will be ruined from now on ! For the eternal reputation of His Majesty, I will not hesitate to admonish you with death!"

This time even Li Ji changed his color, and scolded: "Erlang, how can you talk nonsense? Your Majesty is fair and honest, and now it is only a stopgap measure. Don't slander Your Majesty like this!"

Although he defected to His Majesty Li Er's tent halfway, he has fought side by side with His Majesty Li Er for many years. He has always known that His Majesty Li Er is a soft-tempered person. Like Fang Jun, there is only Wei Zheng alone in the world. Well done, now that Wei Zheng is dead, it is absolutely impossible for someone to let His Majesty swallow his anger!
Sure enough, His Majesty Li Er was so angry that he turned around and ran to the wall on the other side, reached out and took off a sword hanging on the wall, stared at Fang Jun and gritted his teeth: "Zhuzi! How dare you! Slandering me, calling me a foolish king like Jie Zhou You Li, if I don’t tear you to pieces today, I’ll be a king in vain! Wow!”

Furious and furious, he drew out his sword and beheaded this ungrateful traitor!

How could Xiao Yu and Li Ji make His Majesty Li Er draw out the sword?

They could all see that although His Majesty Li Er might not really have murderous intentions, he was already in a state of confusion under the attack of anger.After all, as the supreme being in the world, how can he do things that are relentless and anticlimactic?
Even if it's because of affection, this sword must be cut down!
The two hurried forward, hugging His Majesty Li Er from left to right, Li Ji hugged His Majesty Li Er's waist, and advised him: "Your Majesty, calm down! Fang Jun is talking nonsense, you can push him out with a stick and whip him." , but you must not kill it!"

Xiao Yu embraced His Majesty Li Er's right arm, split his hands to grab the sword in his hand, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down!"

Changsun Wuji knelt at the side and watched silently, wishing he could rush up and kick Li Ji and Xiao Yu away, so that His Majesty Li Er could free up his hands and draw out his sword to kill the traitor Fang Jun...

His Majesty Li Er was also short-tempered for a while. He has always been very happy and cherished his feathers. He claimed that his achievements were no less than those of Emperor Qin and Han Wu. Fang Jun first compared him to a tyrant like Jie Zhou and You Li, and then said that he disregarded the law and shaken the foundation of the empire. He was almost angry. My lungs exploded.

At this moment, Li Ji and Xiao Yu firmly stopped him, his senses recovered, and he knew that no matter what he could not draw out the diseased sword, but if the flags and drums died down, what would be the majesty of the emperor?

Especially Fang Jun will definitely get worse in the future, who can bear to imitate Wei Zheng and admonish him with death at every turn?
