Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 380
Changsun Wuji's thoughts turned.

The content of this memorial really shocked him too much. This is no longer a question of whether Fang Jun is talented or not. Being able to have such a vision and design such a national policy is indeed worthy of His Majesty Li Er's sentence " The talent of Zaisuke!"
It is already unrealistic to continue to suppress or slander this memorial.

If it is too obvious, it will lose your tolerance and inevitably cause His Majesty Li Er's displeasure. He can clearly see how much His Majesty Li Er appreciates this memorial...

But Changsun Wuji is an old fox after all, so he came up with a countermeasure in a blink of an eye.

"Hehe, there are really talented people from all over the country, my minister, congratulations to Your Majesty!" As he said, he bowed his hands to His Majesty Li Er with a solemn face, as if he was really grateful for His Majesty Li Er's acquisition of such a great talent as Fang Jun feel happy……

His Majesty Li Er smiled with his beard, very satisfied.

Naturally, he couldn't be unaware of Changsun Wuji's disgust towards Fang Jun. In his opinion, Fang Jun was so good that he threatened Changsun Chong's detached status in the next generation, and Changsun Wuji had such a reaction. is normal.

Who can be truly unselfish?

If there is no rise of Fang Jun, Chang Sun Chong will be the most important object of training for the next generation, power and resources will be tilted towards him, and he will become the future pillar of the empire just around the corner.But now that a competitor like Fang Jun suddenly appeared, and he performed so well, it's no wonder Changsun Wuji wasn't nervous...

As long as it is a normal competition, His Majesty Li Er is happy to see it succeed.

Zi Shi has always been optimistic about Chang Sun Chong, and behind Chang Sun Chong stands a giant like Chang Sun Wuji, but Fang Jun is not bad, do you really think that the good old Fang Xuanling is a vegetarian?

The right amount of competition can promote the growth of talents, and His Majesty Li Er naturally knows this truth.

His Majesty Li Er said with a slightly smug smile: "This is a good thing. The country we have worked so hard to build is prosperous and beautiful. Isn't it going to be handed over to the next generation? The scourge is riddled with holes, I'm afraid we will all have to pick them out of the coffin in anger and beat them up severely! Now that the juniors are excellent, all of them are talents, it is our blessing!"

Changsun Wuji nodded in agreement, changed the subject, and said: "I do appreciate Fang Jun's talent, and this strategy of controlling the Western Regions without a single soldier is also extremely appreciated! But it is precisely because this strategy can be called a genius The idea is related to the national policy of the future empire, so I think it would be safer to send a seasoned and prudent person to preside over the Gaochang Kingdom?"

Blind suppression will not work, blind people can see His Majesty Li Er's admiration for Fang Jun, if he insists on his own opinion, it will only arouse His Majesty Li Er's resentment, and it may even cause some rebellious feelings, which will be self-defeating.

But we can come to the bottom of the pot. Although your Fang Jun's strategy is good, but if you are not allowed to preside over this strategy, the credit will be greatly reduced...

His Majesty Li Er pondered for a while.

In his mind, he wanted Fang Jun to carry out this strategy. After all, it was proposed by him, and only he could understand the mystery of the key points during the period. If he sent a person rashly, would he be able to achieve What is the ideal effect?

After Changsun Wuji finished his suggestion, he bowed his head and remained silent. It seemed that everything was decided by His Majesty Li Er, but in fact, he put his hand on the teacup without leaving any trace, and tapped his index finger on the table...

Gao Shilian, who was sitting next to him, had his eyelids twitch, and said slowly: "The veteran thinks that this is an old-fashioned strategy for seeking the country, and it is indeed much safer. Gaochang Kingdom is located in the Western Regions. Although it is under the control of the Tang Dynasty, its country The Chinese forces are about to move, and the surrounding enemy countries are eyeing them. After all, the Marquis of Xinxiang is young, and he will inevitably be high-spirited for the first time. If he is eager to make contributions, it may just be that the situation is unstable and he missed a big deal, which is not good."

Since Changsun Wuji sent a signal for help, how could Gao Shilian not respond?
Uncle and nephew are naturally in the same spirit, advancing and retreating together.

His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips...

He can reject the selfish eldest grandson Wuji, but he can't help but refute Gao Shilian's face, let alone think carefully about his words.

Fang Jun is talented, but his temper... really worries His Majesty Li Er.As Gao Shilian said, although the Gaochang Kingdom was already under the control of the Tang Dynasty, the army withdrew, and only the [-] soldiers of the Shenji Battalion remained there. If you are cautious, it will easily lead to the enemy's attack and lose the good situation.

But this strategy was proposed by Fang Jun, if he completed it in Gaochang Kingdom, it would be a world-class feat.But now he has to appoint another person to go there, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit suspected of picking peaches, which is unkind...

His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling who had been silent all this time.

Fang Xuanling remained silent all the time, but when he saw His Majesty Li Er looking over, he smiled and said casually: "Why should you be in trouble? My minister is His Majesty's minister, and Fang Jun is also His Majesty's minister. In the hearts of the ministers, Only His Majesty and Datang Er. No matter what decision, the ministers believe that His Majesty is on the basis of seeking the greatest benefits for Datang, so they will definitely accept it. Compared with the future of the empire, mere personal honor and disgrace, and What is it? But please make the decision, Your Majesty!"

These words are open and bright!

Not only His Majesty Li Er nodded happily, but even Changsun Wuji wanted to clap his hands and applaud!
What is a loyal minister and righteous man?What is the Gaofengliang Festival?

That's it for Fang Xuanling!

Regardless of what you think in your heart, if you speak these words, that is your attitude!

His Majesty Li Er had a plan in mind, and he looked at Ma Zhou and Cen Wenwen again, and asked, "What do you think, my loves?"

Cen Wenwen said solemnly: "Your Majesty makes the decision."

However, Ma Zhou said: "Send an experienced person, and I accept it. But this person should have a peaceful temper and be mellow in dealing with things, so as to be in line with this strategy to the greatest extent. The biggest advantage of this strategy is that it is gradual. It really takes a year or two. The effect is too good, but if it is implemented for a long time, it will be possible to hide the wind and thunder in silence! Therefore, even if you back off a little at the beginning, it will not affect the overall situation.

His Majesty Li Er appreciated it from the bottom of his heart.In comparison, Cen Wenwen inevitably lost his sharpness due to the stale and stagnant atmosphere of officialdom; while Ma Zhou may be due to his age or the influence of his background, he is more vigorous and enterprising!
After a little thought, His Majesty Li Er said: "That's the case, Gaochang Kingdom will be re-planned and included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and its land will be located in Xizhou, leading the five counties of Gaochang, Liuzhong, Jiaohe, Puchang, and Tianshan. Govern Gaochang. The local officials, through the "popular election" mentioned in Fang Jun's memorial, allow the local people to elect, so they can feel at ease. And set up the Anxi Governor's Mansion in Jiaohe, and make Qiao Shiwang the first Anxi Governor ,how?"

Qiao Shiwang is the son-in-law of Princess Luling, the daughter of Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty.

He is talented, young and vigorous, but low-key and easy-going, smooth and cautious in his actions, he is the perfect candidate.

All the ministers thought it was good.

Fang Jun's so-called "popular election" may not be inappropriate for everyone.Although Gaochang was occupied, in order to maintain local stability, the selected officials must also be local officials in the past. As for which one, no one cares.

Fang Jun's bad idea was just a gimmick, but it seemed fairer and more just, and easier to be accepted by the local residents, because it seemed that the appointment and dismissal of all officials were decided by the residents, and everyone had a vote to go Support or oppose, in this way, you will definitely have a greater sense of identity with the officials who took office.

Once the charter of the Western Regions is established, this discussion is over.

Hou Junji will be censored by Dali Temple, but with his meritorious service, his reputation is only slightly damaged. Naturally, no one can really treat this general with many military exploits.

It seems that Fang Jun is the only one who suffers.

After all, what he did in Gaochang State played a role in stabilizing the situation to a great extent, and his contribution is indispensable.Not to mention the strategy of "making grapes and sheep eating people" is simply a stroke of genius, which is amazing.

But in the end, an irrelevant person was appointed to preside over the overall situation of the Western Regions, and Fang Jun himself did not benefit at all.

But Fang Xuanling didn't show any displeasure.

How could he, who has been in the officialdom for many years, not know that sometimes, suffering a loss is not necessarily a bad thing...
