Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2939 The emperor is affectionate
"Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong went to Linghu's house, Hou Mochen's house, Yuwen's house, and Dou's house in the past two days. Know what he's talking about."

In the Dragon Palace, His Majesty Li Er was sitting in front of the window holding a scroll, while Li Junxian was reporting in a low voice.

His Majesty Li Er closed the scroll, tapped it on his knees, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then put the scroll on the table beside him, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then asked: "After Zhao Guogong's visit , is there anything unusual about each family?"

Li Junxian said: "There is nothing unusual, but when visiting Linghu's house, it seems that there was a dispute with the county magistrate of Pengcheng, and he was very angry when he left. But..."

He paused for a moment, and continued: "During the investigation, the general found that there were other people who were closely watching Duke Zhao's mansion."

His Majesty Li Er opened his eyes, slightly surprised: "Oh? Who did it."

Li Junxian said: "The last general didn't startle the snake, but if the last general guessed correctly, he should be the Duke of Yue."

"Fang Jun?"

His Majesty Li Er took another sip of the tea cup and sneered, "I thought this bastard was not afraid of anything. He beat Zhao Guogong, so he was so frightened that he was afraid of being murdered, so he quickly sent someone to watch him? Don't go." Just ignore him, as long as Zhao Guogong doesn't do anything, he won't make trouble."

"Here."

His Majesty Li Er warned again: "The Eastern Expedition is about to take the oath. During this period of time, apart from keeping an eye on the families in Guanlong, we must not relax in the slightest inside and outside Chang'an City. At this time, we must first ensure the stability of the capital. If anyone wants to do anything wrong, once it is verified, they will be severely punished!"

"The last will obey!"

Li Junxian quickly took the order.

As the eagle dog of the emperor, he naturally knew that His Majesty Li Er's heart and soul were all about the Eastern Expedition. For the victory of the Eastern Expedition, he didn't know how much effort he spent and how much aggrieved he endured. Whoever dares to spoil his Eastern Expedition will be his life and death. enemy!
Even if there are people in the clan with ulterior motives, he will kill them ruthlessly to frighten the crowd!

If the nobles of Guanlong really dare to make trouble here and affect the Eastern Expedition, Li Junxian can guarantee that His Majesty Li Er will be the first to take Changsun Wuji's knife.

Tolerance does not mean cowardice, and retreat does not mean numbness. The talented and generous His Majesty Li Er has always been kind to the Guanlong nobles.If he finds out that his usual forbearance is ignored by the Guanlong nobles, or even intensified, His Majesty Li Er, who is furious, will probably do the craziest thing.

His Majesty Li Er nodded, and said: "Retire and do things with your heart. After the Eastern Expedition, if you still wholeheartedly go to serve in the army, I will consider it. The sixteen guards, the four guards, and even the navy. Take your pick."

In recent years, Li Junxian, as the most capable "hawk dog" around him, has actually done a lot of things, which made him worry a lot.But everyone has their own ambitions, Li Junxian has always been thinking about going to the army, how can I let him do these shameful things all his life?

Although Li Junxian knew too many secrets of the royal family and shady scenes in the court, His Majesty Li Er felt that he was not a person who would kill a donkey and would rather take some risks of revealing the secrets than take it seriously cook", to be a ruthless king.

Since ancient times, kings have been ruthless, and he has done ruthless things, but the older he gets, the more regretful he feels. Every time he dreams back in the middle of the night, he is sweating and afraid, so he tries his best to get rid of this cycle.

Since you want to far surpass Qin Huang, Han Wu, why not be a sympathetic king?

This is also one of the reasons why although he formulated the national policy of suppressing the nobles in Guanlong, he never completely turned his face and fought with each other. It was not just to maintain the stability of the government during the Eastern Expedition.

Li Junxian was overjoyed immediately, knelt down on one knee, and said gratefully: "Your Majesty's love and compassion will never be forgotten. In this life, I am willing to be a pawn of His Majesty's horse, and I will be smashed to pieces, and I will not hesitate!"

He has long been tired of the life of this "hawk dog". It seems that he has great power, but in fact there are many dangers. A little carelessness will be the disaster of the whole family.What's more, the indifference and disdain of the people around him made him even more depressed, and his ambition was hard to repay.

Even in my dreams, I want to be on the battlefield, even if I am shrouded in horse leather, I still want to gallop to expand the territory and live up to the ambition of a seven-foot man!

His Majesty Li Er snorted, and said with some displeasure: "You guys, you always compare me with those previous kings, thinking that I will be like them. In order to keep the secret of the royal family, I treat you like an emperor like a dog. Kill everything. My strength can move mountains and swallow seas. I think that I am definitely not comparable to Qin Huang and Han Wu. You are loyal to me and dedicated yourself. Naturally, I will give you fame, power and wealth for the rest of your life. If you are rich, don't forget each other!"

Li Junxian sincerely admired and was grateful: "Your Majesty is mighty!"

His Majesty Li Er then said: "Okay, let's go down and do some business, what does a dignified man of seven feet look like with tears running down his cheeks?"

"Here! I will know my mistake at the end, and I will retire at the end."

……

Watching Li Junxian withdraw from the imperial study, His Majesty Li Er suddenly sighed, with a desolate expression.

Since ancient times, emperors are the most ruthless, but why would emperors be ruthless?

The sword has two peaks, since one hand holds the power of the supreme under heaven, then the other hand has to let go of all the warmth in the world, otherwise there will be a backlash.

He thought to himself that apart from the "killing brothers and brothers" that the Xuanwu sect had to do back then, for many years he sat on the throne of the world's supreme, but he has always remained gentle with his relatives and old friends around him, and tried his best to manage the relationship between each other. He also made up his mind never to lose.

Except for Hou Junji's tragic death on the spot in rebellion, even though Changsun Wuji wanted to interfere with the imperial power, King Jing's schemes were far-reaching, and they never eradicated them with thunderous means.

He has been waiting, waiting for the other party to wake up and feel the forgiveness and understanding from his king.

I just don't know if his wish to be a merciful king will be let down by those wolfish and ambitious people in the end, forcing him to pick up the butcher knife and cut off his kindness...

*****
The entire center of the empire is busy running, and various matters related to the Eastern Expedition are being resolved one by one. Various materials are continuously collected from all over the country and transported to the front line of Liaodong. The days are getting warmer day by day, and the war is imminent.

By the end of February, all the preparations before the start of the war had been prepared in an orderly manner, and they were almost ready. Just waiting for His Majesty Li Er to swear to the army, a million troops crossed the Liaoshui like wolves and tigers, went straight into the hinterland of Liaodong, and attacked the city. stronghold.

The atmosphere in Chang'an City gradually became solemn.

After all, it is a national war that has collected the power of the whole country. No matter how optimistic the court is in front of the battle report, no one dares to neglect their duties and slack military plans in the face of the war. Matters within the scope, so as not to be caught by His Majesty Li Er and severely punished.

……

After a spring rain last night, even the soil seems to be fragrant, being blown by the breeze, brushing the new shoots from the trees outside the window.

In Guanzhong 500 years later, even at the end of February, the temperature was very dry and cold. However, this time is different, the climate has not changed, and the water vapor is more moist. There are thousands of miles of fertile fields, and the accumulation is abundant." People all over the world call it "the so-called Tianfu, the most powerful country in the world", many years before Yizhou Plain was awarded the title of "Land of Abundance".

Ministry of War Yamen.

In the duty room, Fang Jun and Li Zhi sat facing each other, the tea on the table was emitting steam, the windows were open, and the air was cool and humid.

Li Zhi took a sip of tea, looked up at Fang Jun, and sighed in admiration: "The Duke of Yue is really domineering and unscrupulous. Last time I heard that the Duke of Yue and his father beat the Duke of Zhao in the imperial study. It was really shocking." There are so many dandies and ruffians in Chang'an City, the Duke of Yue is the number one, and he deserves his name."

Now the relationship between him and Fang Jun has eased a lot. Although they are still opposed, they are not hostile to each other.In private, he would call him "brother-in-law", and in the yamen, he would address him as a noble official.

Fang Jun leaned lazily on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, Wen Yan glanced at Li Zhi, and said with a smile: "This sounds awkward, His Royal Highness King Jin intends to eliminate harm for the people, or is it for your Uncle seek justice?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Why does this king have such intentions? It's just a battle between the courts. Whoever wins and who loses who wins and who loses, naturally resigns himself to fate and can't blame others. If Zhao Guogong has the upper hand, what happened to Yue Guogong is probably the same Not much better."
