Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2929
A map turned the imperial study room upside down until the farce ended and all the ministers got up to leave.

His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, and said: "In a few days, I will swear to my teacher to go to the east. At the critical moment, everything must not be lost. All the lovers are the pillars of the country, and I hope you will do your best. Wait until the triumphant return." At that time, I would like to ask for credit for you all!"

Several ministers hurriedly responded: "As ministers, we should assist His Majesty in accomplishing great things, and it is our duty to be smashed to pieces. How dare we ask for credit?"

His Majesty Li Er smiled happily, and then straightened his face: "My dear friends, go back and do your work, Fang Jun stays here."

Fang Jun's heart tightened...

The others didn't dare to say more, and after saluting, they all pushed it out.

When he arrived outside the hall, Xiao Yu touched his forehead, looked at the extremely distressed eldest grandson Wuji, felt a little unbearable in his heart, stepped forward and said: "Auxiliary machine, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as the Duke of Yue..."

Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji ignored him and walked away with a dark face.

Xiao Yu was stunned, but never angry.

Colleagues have been officials for decades, how can they not know each other's temper?The eldest grandson Wuji, who has always been soft and forbearing, and always plans before acting, was ruthlessly trampled on his face by Fang Jun today. He must be very angry in his heart, and more importantly, he felt shameless, and his emotions were more intense, which was at ease and reasonable.

Li Ji came up from behind slowly, looked at Changsun Wuji's back, and said solemnly: "Erlang is reckless today, Zhao Guogong is narrow-minded, and he must take revenge. Being humiliated by Erlang this time, it is not enough to do anything out of line. Strange."

People live a face, and trees live a skin.

Especially a feminine and tender person like Changsun Wuji, who usually looks gentle and kind, but is actually narrow-minded and cares about face very much. If he is humiliated today, who knows what kind of revenge he will take?

Xiao Yu didn't take it seriously, and said sarcastically: "How far can you go out of the way? If he hadn't tried to murder Erlang's life several times, Erlang wouldn't have done what he did today."

They are already going to murder Fang Jun, and it's nothing more than going out of line.

Li Ji was silent, but said with a heavy heart: "This time it's different. Once Zhao Guogong breaks through and goes offline, it's not just as simple as murdering someone's life."

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then lost her voice: "You mean...not so much?"

"Isn't it?"

Li Ji snorted coldly, and said in a low voice: "Manchurian and military, I only avoid Zhao Guogong for fear, because Guan Long's actions can easily break through the bottom line. In this world, there is nothing they dare not do."

Xiao Yu was speechless.

The Guanlong aristocrats rose up in the Northern Wei Dynasty and started their careers with military exploits. In their bones, they still have the willful and profit-seeking disposition of the grassland Hu people.From the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, they prospered a country, destroyed a country, supported an emperor, and abolished an emperor. How many such things have they done?
As long as it is beneficial to themselves, they never care about their family, country and world, even if they drag hundreds of millions of people into the flames of war and cause people to die, they will not hesitate to do so.

The two looked at each other, concluded the topic tacitly, and walked towards the palace gate.

……

Inside the hall, Fang Jun carefully glanced at His Majesty Li Er, bowed and said, "I don't know what orders your Majesty has?"

His Majesty Li Er took a sip of tea, raised his eyelids to take a look, and snorted coldly: "The majesty just now, even Zhao Guogong dared to fight, but now he is standing at the door as timid as a mouse, eight feet away from me, Why, are you afraid that I will not succeed if I eat you?"

Fang Jun accompanied him with a smile: "My minister admires and respects His Majesty, and is in awe. It should, it should."

"presumptuous!"

His Majesty Li Er yelled angrily, pointed his halberd and cursed: "Mother! You are a lawless bastard, aren't you? If you dare to hit someone in front of Zhenzhen, do you still have the emperor in your eyes? Believe it or not, I just drew out my sword, I killed you bastard with one sword! Fang Xuanling, a gentleman of the first generation, is gentle and elegant. He has never blushed with anyone for more than ten years, how could you give birth to such a rebellious thing!"

Fang Jun was obedient and did not dare to argue: "My minister is convicted, and His Majesty calms down."

Today, His Majesty Li Er was so angry that there were only two people facing each other. Once His Majesty Li Er's temper flared up again, what would he do if he wanted to chop him off with a sword?
But dare not point at those servants outside who dare to rush up to stop...

His Majesty Li Er was so angry that his beard straightened, he pointed at Fang Jun, and said in a muffled voice: "I have always been lenient to you, and I can't bear to be harsh, but you always know the occasion and the person, right? The nobles of Guanlong have been arresting you all these years. Holding on to power makes me very angry. But even if I set up a strategy to suppress the powerful, I never killed all the nobles in Guanlong. Isn’t everything for the great cause of the Eastern Expedition? Now is the critical moment of the Eastern Expedition. Everything should be let go, the first thing is to stabilize the court, even I can bear it, why can't you bear it? If it is really because of you that the nobles of Guanlong took risks and ruined the great cause of the Eastern Expedition, believe it or not cut off your head!"

Fang Jun looked ashamed, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty has taught you the lesson. It is the humble minister who was reckless. Please punish him!"

From His Majesty Li Er's words, one can hear who is far and who is close, who is close and who is distant in his mind.For a long time, Fang Jun has made a lot of contributions to the establishment of Fang Jun, but the patriarch Sun Wuji was the one who assisted His Majesty Li Er to seize the throne as the emperor. How can Fang Jun compare?But His Majesty Li Er not only dismissed the court's objections and promoted Fang Junyi to the title of Duke, but also punished Fang Jun symbolically every time he made a mistake, mainly admonishment and supplemented by punishment.

It can be said that His Majesty Li Er fully recognized Fang Jun as his son-in-law and regarded him as a family member.

On the contrary, although he treated Changsun Wuji quite favorably, but because of the Guanlong nobles, he never regarded Changsun Wuji as a relative.No matter how close the relationship between the two is, it is only an alliance that benefits both sides. When they are united, there is no distinction between each other, but once they part ways, they will turn their faces and be ruthless.

Even if Changsun Wuji is the elder brother of Empress Wende, His Majesty Li Er can't make His Majesty Li Er treat each other with sincerity.

After all, the interests represented by the two are essentially in conflict. When the imperial power is coerced and suppressed by the Guanlong nobles, no amount of friendship will be like clouds in the sky, and the wind will blow away.

His Majesty Li Er said earnestly: "At this very moment, it is even more necessary to know how to endure and give in. Forbearance for a while is for the great cause in your heart. The great cause will be accomplished, and the achievements will last through the ages. When you look back, you can be happy with your kindness, and you don't need to bear it any longer."

Obviously, His Majesty Li Er has tolerated the arrogance and aggressiveness of the Guanlong nobles for a long time.

However, on the one hand, he firmly held the ambition to suppress Guan Long, and on the other hand, he did connive at King Jin using Guan Long's power to compete for the reserve position. Such a contradictory approach made Fang Jun confused and unable to understand.

I thought about it, but I couldn't get a glimpse of His Majesty Li Er's true thoughts...

But no matter whether you understand clearly or not, at this time, you should nod your head obediently and obediently, with a grateful look, and thank you for your kindness.

His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied, pointed to the chair in front of Fang Jun to sit down, looked at him and said: "In addition, as the assistant of the Eastern Expedition, you must stand up to Su Dingfang and others, and don't rush into the battle just for the sake of merit." , The navy is responsible for the logistics of the army, as long as it can deter Pyongyang from the waterway, it must remain calm and make no mistakes."

Fang Jun responded in a muffled voice.

To keep the logistics smooth, isn't it just because the navy is too aggressive and brazenly joins the war to steal the credit of others?
This Eastern Expedition was regarded by the military as the last major war in 30 years. If there is another war of the same scale in the future, it is estimated that it will be the battle against Tubo, and it will not happen at all.Therefore, everyone regards this war as the last opportunity for this generation to make meritorious deeds. Aristocratic families and various factions are gearing up to show their faces with all their strength. son.

If this navy joins brazenly, it will lead to a loss of morale and complaints, and it will most likely affect the morale and unity of the army.

Fang Jun understands this worry, and can understand it. After all, as an emperor, he needs to consider everything. Balancing the interests of all parties is the most important thing, and it is the prerequisite for the victory of the Eastern Expedition and the stability of the court.

However, the inexplicable confidence of the government and the opposition made Fang Jun even more restless. Did no one think that this battle would be lost?
After thinking about it, he still couldn't help admonishing him: "Your Majesty, it's not because I care about the feats of conquering the enemy's country and opening up the territory. If I insist on mixing it with the Eastern Expedition, it will completely destroy the role of the navy. Neglecting it, giving only one task of transporting luggage would be a little too much..."
