Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2928 Court Laws
Of course, the rules are indeed such a rule, but when did the emperor talk about the rules, how could he talk about the rules?
After all, the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall are the emperor's courtiers. Except Wei Zheng and other "top iron" people, who are willing to refute the emperor's will seriously if they risk their lives and futures for their own reputation?
Generally speaking, if the emperor is so angry, even if the will is slightly out of line, most of the ministers in the political affairs hall will follow his wishes and will not protest.

After all, the power of Zhengshitang comes from the emperor, and the emperor can grant it, and naturally it can also take it away.As long as the emperor thinks that the system of Zhengshitang is no longer necessary, he can do it arbitrarily, which makes this system appear to be in vain, and makes the system of Zhengshitang exist in name only.

After all, the order changes from day to day, and everything is done according to the emperor's will. If the majesty of the government affairs hall is not there, there is no need to continue to exist. All things can be handed over to the emperor's imperial study as in the previous dynasty...

This is definitely not possible.

His Majesty Li Er is indeed very happy, but he is also a rare wise king. He knows that no matter how shrewd a person is, he will inevitably be influenced by his own knowledge and emotions, and make wrong judgments and decisions on some important matters.

Since he founded his family and established his teeth, he has gone through countless dangers, and he deeply understands the importance of speaking out and accepting advice. Otherwise, why would he have to endure Wei Zheng for so many years?People's energy is limited, and their vision is even more limited. A generation of emperors like Qin Huang and Han Wu, who have made great achievements for thousands of years, still made serious mistakes.

If he wants to avoid that kind of mistake, it is not enough for him to be cautious. He needs the advice of capable and admonishing ministers around him, and it is even more important to give them appropriate power.

If all matters are decided by Gan Gang, then absolute power will definitely make him self-willed, and sometimes he may not be able to listen to the advice of ministers, and must use a relatively compulsory system to restrain his power.

The power still belonged to the emperor, but the emperor allowed the ministers to limit the power of the emperor. His Majesty Li Er believed that this was the most perfect system.

It is not enough to be arbitrary like Qin Huang and Han Wu, and it is even more impossible to fall apart the imperial power like Han Xian and Jin'an. The system of Zhengshitang is just right.

……

The most important thing is that His Majesty Li Er did not intend to seriously dismiss Fang Jun from his post and send him into exile.It's just that he has been trying to stabilize the Guanlong nobles for the past two years, so that they won't make any small moves in his Eastern Expedition, so he has been forbearance and tenderness, a lot of indulgence.

Now that the Eastern Expedition is imminent, how can he break the good situation with his own hands?
Therefore, half of his rage is true and half is false, and the so-called conquest of titles and dismissal is just a show. No one knows better than him how many achievements Fang Jun has made over the years. In addition to the good foundation laid by Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling and others, it is also inseparable from Fang Jun's expeditions to the south and north to open up sources of wealth over the years.

He can still be gentle and forbearing towards the eldest grandson Wuji who is trying to disperse the imperial power, but how can he be harsh and harsh towards Fang Jun, whom he loves very much?
If you make a mistake, you have to accept punishment, but you don't necessarily have to fight to the end...

At this moment, Xiao Yu brought out the system of Zhengshitang to contradict him, which gave him a chance to step down, but he still looked angry and said angrily: "Is this world still my world?"

Xiao Yu rubbed his forehead and said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty is the ruler of the world, and all the people in the Manchu Dynasty are civil and military, and all the people in the world admire him sincerely, and are willing to die for His Majesty! However, the system of the Political Affairs Hall is an imperial edict of His Majesty Jinkou, how can it be changed from day to day? Since there is a political affairs hall, it must be handled in accordance with the rules of the political affairs hall. Fang Jun's crimes are determined by the political affairs hall through discussion, and reported to His Majesty for approval. If your majesty is dissatisfied with the system of the Zhengshitang, you can abolish it, and the veteran has nothing to say."

Li Ji, who has always been "nothing to do with himself", finally said at this time: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has its own laws and regulations, and everything must be handled in accordance with the laws. Otherwise, the world will be in danger if the laws are ruled by people."

All the ministers in the early Tang Dynasty had gone through the flames of war and were all outstanding among men. Although they admired His Majesty Li Er, none of them were unprincipled responders.

Although it is impossible for everyone to be as steadfast as Wei Zheng, when it comes to major issues, they are often very strong.

The establishment of laws and regulations is to regulate the standards of the world, and the natural emperor must also be included, and abide by the law.If there is an error in the absolute law, it should be changed or even abolished first, but if it cannot be used, it will be there, and if it is not used, it will not be.

What's the point of not obeying the law?

Everything is determined by the emperor's likes and dislikes. Sooner or later, the world will be in chaos and the country will be overthrown...

Eldest Sun Wuji on the side covered his head with one hand and pressed his chest with the other. Even though he was extremely angry, he knew that His Majesty Li Er was just putting on a show and would never dismiss Fang Jun from his post and send him into exile, so he simply said nothing , Waiting for His Majesty Li Er to act himself.

His Majesty Li Er naturally refused to punish Fang Jun severely, but if this guy beat Changsun Wuji in the imperial study, if he let it go lightly, wouldn't it get worse in the future?

Then he said: "Since Song Guogong said so, then I will hand this matter over to the Political Affairs Hall, but I have said something beforehand. This arrogant, disrespectful and lawless man must not be easily let go. He must be severely punished, so as to serve as an example to others!"

Xiao Yu felt relieved, and hurriedly said: "Here! The old minister obeys the order."

His Majesty Li Er then looked at Changsun Wuji, and comforted him: "Don't be angry with the auxiliary machine, this kid is just a bastard, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as him. This matter will be handed over to the Political Affairs Hall, and it will be punished according to its own laws. You will not be lightly forgiven."

Changsun Wuji nodded, his voice hoarse: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for making decisions for this old minister."

I thought to myself: You pushed it all out, Zhengshitang?Today's Zhengshitang has almost become the crown prince's headquarters. From top to bottom, where are his Guanlong nobles?When this matter comes to the Zhengshitang, the ending can only be nothing. In the end, you get angry and scold the Zhengshitang, saying that the Zhengshitang has its own laws and you are not good at interfering...

However, he has long passed the age of being angry, and although he was extremely angry and hated, he was able to bear it, knowing that it was not time to argue with Fang Jun, so he put it in his heart for the time being, and it would not be too late to settle the account .

It is not too late for the king to take revenge for ten years, let this beast wait...

The tea was served inside, His Majesty Li Er waved his hands back, then took a sip from the teacup, signaled Changsun Wuji, Li Ji, and Xiao Yu to drink tea, then glared at Fang Jun, and cursed: "You bastard! "

Fang Jun lowered his eyebrows and accepted it happily.

Li Ji took a sip of tea, recalled the map of Pyongyang city defense that caused this farce, and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do with that map...?"

He didn't intend to start a war, but this map is very involved. If this map is true, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort when attacking the heavily guarded city of Pyongyang.But if this picture is false, when the Tang army marches according to the map, it is very likely that they will fall into the trap by mistake and be caught by the Goguryeo army. Leaving aside the victory or defeat, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

His Majesty Li Er glared at Fang Jun again, and said decisively: "Don't listen to this bastard's nonsense, although Chang Sun Huan committed a serious crime of treason, how dare his family be charged with the crime of communicating with foreign countries and be slaughtered? This map must be true."

Changsun Wuji naturally understood the beatings and warnings in these words, and quickly pointed to the sky and swore: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, although the dog is guilty, he dare not go against the sky in such matters. If this picture is false , the eldest grandson's family and the whole family would like to be bombarded by heavenly thunder, and all gods and men will be abandoned!"

As long as the imperial court approves this map, then no matter what the future war of the Eastern Expedition will look like, Changsun Huan's contribution will be considered as a certainty, and when he returns to his hometown, all his sins will be wiped away.

Xiao Yu hesitated to speak.

He originally believed that this map was true, and the reason was the same as Changsun Wuji said. Even if Changsun Huan was rebellious, how could he deliberately use a fake map to harm the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and then make the entire clan Bearing a charge of treason, all the old and young are slaughtered, women and children are left behind, and even the corpses of the ancestors have to be crushed?
However, after Fang Jun made such a fuss, he suddenly felt that the authenticity of this map was indeed not so sure.

Perhaps Changsun Huan might not have such courage, but what if this map was leaked deliberately by Goguryeo, and waited to be known by Datang's secret agents, and then passed back to Chang'an?

That would be a big deal...

It's just that His Majesty Li Er is convinced of this map right now, and Changsun Wuji was severely humiliated by Fang Jun, and his heart must be full of anger. If he raises doubts at this time, he will definitely offend His Majesty and Changsun Wuji It's tough.

Xiao Yu, who has always been able to observe the situation from both sides, feels that it is better to acquiesce for the time being. When a suitable time is found, he will advise His Majesty Li Er...

Thinking of this, he said: "In fact, there is no need to rush to confirm the authenticity of this picture. You can send spies to Pyongyang City to spy on the false and the real, and then slowly identify it. Liaodong is vast. After the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, you can slowly draw it."

His Majesty Li Er thought it was good, but he was afraid that Fang Jun would raise the bar again, so he hurriedly said: "Then let's make a decision, there is no need to rush to confirm the authenticity, after the Eastern Expedition, we will collect information from all parties and then screen it."
