Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3703 The rise of Liu Wei
"Here!"

Several servants hurriedly responded and divided up their respective tasks. Someone re-cut a cup of tea and respectfully placed it on the table in front of Fang Jun, and someone took away the fragments of the tea cup on the ground.

Then he hurried to stand guard at the door with his head down, not daring to breathe.

There is no way, Fang Er is equivalent to firing at all the civil servants again, the scope of attack is too large, and they are easy to be affected if they are not careful...

Liu Ji's face was red and his ears were red, and he was very angry. Could it be that my saliva accidentally splashed into the teacup?You just change one and it's over, why bother talking about cats, dogs, shit, pee... It's too deceiving.

But he finished speaking, and the scene stopped, so he stopped provoking Fang Jun.You have to understand the principle of enough is enough, with His Royal Highness here, Fang Jun has to restrain himself even if he is annoyed, but if he is endless, this guy may not dare to do it.

He closed his mouth, but signaled his colleagues with his eyes: I can't do it, you go...

The civil officials around raised their heads one after another, luckily, and planned to attack them together. After all, Fang Jun just said "a cat and a dog" is equivalent to declaring war on all civil officials. Must act as a pawn.

……

Li Chengqian sat in the main seat all the time, frowned and remained silent, turning a blind eye to Liu Ji's angry scolding of Fang Jun, and did not intervene.Fang Jun's blatant war this time has indeed had a great impact on the situation. It is likely to cause a complete breakdown of the peace talks led by the civil servants. It is understandable that the civil servants are deeply resentful.

Some of these people have outstanding talents and the ability to govern the country, and some have mediocre qualifications.But everyone has the same thing. They did not turn their backs on the most difficult time in the East Palace, but chose to go through the difficulties with him, the prince, and never leave him.

For a person with a relatively weak personality, affection is the most important thing, and after this kind of crisis comes, the affection of sharing weal and woe becomes more and more important.

Who doesn't plan and fight for their own interests?

From the day the Great Tang Empire was established, the interests of countless people have gathered, the emperors, generals, families, clans, civil servants, generals... The interests of all people tend to be the same, gather in one place, and stir up the world's luck. Only then did they sweep the heaven and earth and unify all wastelands.

Nuo Da Empire is a collection of countless interests, how can he ask others to give up interests and put morality in the supreme position?

It is enough to be able to join hands and fight bravely to the death while taking into account the interests.

Therefore, he did not warn Liu Ji and the other civil servants. Even today, although these civil servants are devoting themselves to sleep, their role is far inferior to that of the military. They finally came to the fore because of the peace talks, and they can help the East Palace, please. Taking care of his own interests while taking into account the crisis situation, but it may be completely cut off by Fang Jun's brazen war without warning, so it is understandable to feel resentment.

If this resentment can't be released and kept in his heart, it will gradually turn into complaints and resentment, and eventually he will be separated from him, the prince.

But there must be a limit to the release of resentment, and it cannot be vented without limit...

Seeing that the civil servants were indignant and glared at Fang Jun one after another, Li Chengqian said decisively and said in a low voice, "Now is not the time to investigate anyone's crimes. The rebels attacked Dong Neiyuan first. If you can’t fight back, you will lose the initiative on the negotiating table and let me take advantage of it. So what should be done now is how to deal with the aftermath, and how to formulate the next plan?”

Fang Jun is the mainstay of the Eastern Palace, so that his most trusted minister can be slandered or even criticized by others, but he must not be besieged in front of himself and turn a blind eye, that would chill people's hearts...

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and the civil servants who were already gearing up to vent their anger on Fang Jun only felt that the punch they had stored up for a long time hit the empty space, and they felt uncomfortable all over, but they had to stop their drums.

However, Liu Jie didn't notice His Highness's intentions, so he was full of enthusiasm and said indignantly: "Fang Er relied on His Highness's favor, not only went to war without authorization, but also insulted our civil servants and tried to sabotage the peace talks. His heart is to be punished! Your Highness, I beg you Take this fang out of the house, and punish it according to the law, so as to serve as an example to others!"

Hey!
All the officials in the hall were stunned, not only the generals looked at Liu Ji like a fool, but also the civil servants gasped——Liu Shizhong, did you take some wrong medicine?
This is room two!

Today, the white jade pillars and the Zijin beams in the East Palace are even higher than Li Jing in terms of real strength. Without him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be able to sleep at night, and the East Palace has already been stewed by the rebels, let alone It's just a mere war without authorization, even if it is twice as serious, how can the crown prince kill him?
Killing is definitely not to be killed, but if you say what you said, and Fang Er, the guy who will revenge you, will bear the grudge, how can you still have good fruit?

Before the Crown Prince could express anything, Liu Ji had already turned around, his eyes swept over the faces of the civil servants in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Er is so powerful, he will act recklessly, I know that speaking these words will cause great disaster , Even tonight, there will be assassins sneaking into the house to take off my head... However, right is right and wrong is wrong. As civil servants, we cannot go to battle to kill the enemy, but we want to maintain discipline. The same dust, or even the same filth? Don't be afraid, everyone, I will take care of this matter, if something happens, I will invite you to burn incense and toast a glass of wine on my grave next year, I am not afraid!"

The words are impassioned and righteous, and the image of a loyal minister who defies power and upholds the law jumps out, which is convincing and almost admirable!

Of course, this is just the expression on the surface of the officials, but in fact they all know in their hearts that this servant wants to stand on his own, to stand on top of the two mountains of the civil service system, Xiao Yu and Cen Wenwen, and to be unique.

There is nothing wrong with this, the more factions, the more opportunities, besides, Xiao Yu and Cen Wenwen are getting old, and their influence on the government and the prince is gradually decreasing, far inferior to Fang Jun.Being able to set up another faction in the civil service system, with high ambitions and determination to forge ahead, is what all civil servants would like to see.

Didn't you see that Cen Wenwen has been sitting there with half of the mud bodhisattva, sleepy and silent?

Fang Jun blatantly went to war. His purpose of fighting was to sabotage the peace talks and prevent the civilian officials from leading the peace talks, and to strive for the best interests of the military. However, this civilian leader did not say anything, which disappointed too many people. eagerly.

It is true that Liu Ji's background and qualifications are far from being comparable to those of Xiao Yu and Cen Wenwen, but if the crisis in the East Palace can be successfully resolved, it will be regarded as broken and established, and the previous power structure will inevitably undergo a great cleansing.

What's more, the prince has revealed his political inclinations long ago, and will continue His Majesty Li Er's political strategy of suppressing powerful families, promoting business and stabilizing agriculture, vigorously developing imperial examinations, and using them as the main means for the imperial court to select talents, and gradually "recommend" and "requisition". "Pi" were banned by aristocratic families who monopolized the selection of materials. Regardless of whether they were from aristocratic or poor families, everything was based on the results of the imperial examination.

This means that Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen and others will inevitably gradually fade out of the power center, and ministers like Liu Ji who do not have a prominent family background will suddenly emerge and take charge of the court.

This is the political prospect after Donggong succeeds to the throne...

……

Fang Jun also understood Liu Ji's intentions. This guy simply used his Fang Er as a raft to establish his own prestige so that he could attract a group of people to set up a new family.

This is indeed a smart man.

Now Liu Ji, as a servant, holds great power, is a close minister of the emperor, and is not attached to any powerful family. He can be regarded as politically correct. He has a deep foundation in the court and excellent ability. Become a force to be reckoned with.

The abacus is very shrewd, but things will change far beyond Liu Ji's imagination, and they are destined to end up in nothing...

Curling his lips, Fang Jun didn't argue with Liu Ji, he didn't bother to watch him jump up and down and do futile work in the future, so he bowed his head and drank his tea.

Seeing Fang Jun’s unexpected suffocation of flags and drums, Liu Jie immediately put all his preparations in vain, turned his eyes, and touched Li Chengqian to the ground, and said with emotion: "Your Highness, the peace talks are now in a difficult situation, and it is not yet known whether the peace talks will go smoothly Song Guogong is far away in Tongguan, and Zhongshuling is too old to do what he wants, and I am willing to take on the heavy responsibility, be responsible for communicating with Guanlong, and try my best to promote the restart of peace talks!"

Many civil servants' eyes lit up, good guy, do you even want to grab the peace talks?
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but cast their eyes on Zhongshu Lingcen, who has always been there, text: Boss, your home is about to be stolen, what is the countermeasure?
