Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4032 Why Did You Come?

Zhang Shigui felt a little aggrieved, but he had to. How dare he not follow His Majesty Li Er's wishes?

His Majesty Li Er nodded in satisfaction, and said: "The six officers and men have made outstanding contributions and served the country faithfully. One should be rewarded, and all pensions will be doubled. Those who report their merits will all be promoted to three ranks."

Zhang Shigui was speechless, his head dilated.

Cheng Chubi and the others are now in the position of lieutenant generals. After being promoted to the third level, they will be on the fourth rank, and they can serve as the left and right guards of the prince. Li Jing's current official position is only the left guard of the prince. class……

Is it possible to get a group of people who are all the nominal top officials of the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace?There are not so many positions in the Six Rates of the East Palace.

If it is released to other places, it can be compared to the governor of a state...

Oh, by the way, correspondingly, Li Jing has to be promoted to three levels. After the promotion... Datang does not have an official position of this level, so it is estimated that His Majesty can only give Li Jing the "Daxingtai Shangshuling"...

Fortunately, he had some understanding of the current affairs of the Ministry of War. After thinking about it, Fang pondered and said, "Li Siwen can be transferred to be the supervisor of weapons, Cheng Chubi can be appointed as the deputy governor of Hanhai Dufu, and Qu Tuquan can be transferred to Bingzhou Zhechong. Fu Duwei..."

There is nowhere to be settled within the Six Commands of the East Palace, so they can only be sent to other places to serve as military attaches.

However, this move seems to reward the soldiers of the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace, but in fact it is equivalent to dismantling the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace. A large number of officers loyal to the prince were transferred outside, which greatly weakened the Prince's control over the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace.

But what can Zhang Shigui do?He, Minister of the Ministry of War, has not yet warmed up his chair, and he is the puppet of His Majesty Li Er. How dare he not act according to His Majesty Li Er's wishes?
His majesty hated him deeply for disobeying the holy will and letting go of the Xuanwu gate before. If he angers his majesty again this time, he might be able to chop himself off with a knife...

……

His Majesty Li Er looked around for a week, and his eyes fell on the prince: "Does the prince have any objections?"

Li Chengqian felt a strong sense of humiliation in his heart, but he could only try his best to suppress the ups and downs of his heart, and lowered his eyebrows pleasingly: "My son has no objection, and the father decides everything."

It's not that he doesn't want to resist, but that he can't resist, and he doesn't dare to resist.

Even if the clay-bodied pottery sculpture is still a bit angry, let alone the heir apparent of a country?Now being beaten down into the dust by his father, his face was lost, his prestige was cut off, and he felt resentful in his heart.But he also knew that even if he stood up and resisted, the final outcome would not change in any way. His father, the emperor, was in his prime, with unparalleled prestige, and his control over the court was like a rock, so he could only touch a rock with an egg.

It will also cause those Donggong subordinates who are loyal to him to be implicated, how can they bear it?

At this moment, Li Chengqian even hoped that his father would quickly announce the deposed edict to settle everything, so that he would not have to suffer such humiliation...

His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun again: "What do Duke Yue think?"

Fang Jun nodded: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, with clear rewards and punishments, he should be a role model for all ages."

His Majesty Li Er frowned and stroked his beard, and looked at Fang Jun suspiciously. Previously, he dared to question my decision in front of the civil and military officials of the court, but now he gave in so quickly?

It's weird...

But right now, when it is not time to think carefully, cutting off the wings of the Eastern Palace is the top priority. Since the crown prince and Fang Jun have subdued one after another, this matter is considered settled, and no further incidents are allowed.

He immediately announced: "Since you have no objections, let's settle this matter. Besides, the most important thing at the moment is water control and disaster relief. With Jingzhao Mansion as the main focus, formulate detailed strategies to ensure that Guanzhong is safe. , no matter which yamen needs to cooperate, we must do our best, and anyone who dares to cheat and play tricks to delay the disaster relief will never be lightly forgiven!"

A group of ministers quickly took orders: "The ministers wait for you to obey the order!"

His Majesty Li Er yawned, the intrigue with his courtiers was really exhausting, which made him a little unwell, and waved: "Retire."

"I'm waiting to retire."

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs got up, and was about to leave after saluting, when he saw His Majesty Li Er couldn't wait to get up, strode out of the apse...

The ministers looked at each other, His Majesty is acting like this, is he too lazy to look at us, or is there some stunning beauty hidden in the back hall who can't wait to pamper us?
Although there are differences between monarchs and ministers, at least there must be an appearance of mutual respect, so it is a bit rude!

Everyone was suspicious and left one after another.

The crown prince and Fang Jun did not go to Chengtian Gate to leave the palace, but walked for a while along a path entwined with green vines, shaded and cool in the backyard of Wude Hall, crossed a heavily guarded gate, and entered the East Palace...

At this time, the rain was gradually weakening, and the raindrops were thin and dense. The pavilions and pavilions in the East Palace were seriously damaged, and piles of building materials and timber were covered by tarpaulins.

The two of them walked on the stone road with their umbrellas, and the flowers and trees on both sides were also broken. The prince was very emotional, sighed, and said softly: "Perhaps it won't be long before this place will be enclosed and become a luxurious prison. But the solitary general is not allowed to set foot outside it in this life, only the sky above his head can be seen with you."

The voice is extremely soft, and the look is lonely.

Fang Jun understands his feelings. Anyone who suddenly falls into the dust when he is just one step away from ascending the throne, I am afraid that it will be difficult to treat him with a normal heart. It is extremely difficult for Li Chengqian to keep his heart and not completely collapse. Knowing that his position could not be guaranteed and he might even die, he simply planned a rebellion and usurped the throne.

It's not so much that he took a risky gamble by breaking the pot, but it is better to say that his mentality has completely collapsed, and he will die anyway. He chose a more explosive way to express his anger to His Majesty Li Er...

Even if he sympathizes, Fang Jun can only watch.

His Majesty Li Er wanted to change the reserve, the first thing he did was to accuse the prince of a crime, and then he could justifiably depose the reserve.And the crown prince who was charged with crimes is bound to be imprisoned. This is already the best ending, of course, this is only the case on the surface.

As the former prince, naturally countless people have loyal to him in the past. Although he was abolished, he is still the one closest to the throne among the princes. Goof around in the mansion.

After all, he used to be righteous and honorable, full of motivation to seek the throne, and strong enough... How can he allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch?

Either the emperor bestows a glass of poisoned wine and a three-foot white silk, or the new emperor dies inexplicably after ascending the throne... the end is almost doomed.

The two walked slowly towards the Lizheng Hall in silence in the rain. Standing under the stone steps in front of the main hall, Li Chengqian raised his head, looked at the flying eaves and brackets on the ridge of the hall, and the five bats and auspicious beasts. Afterwards, the father and the queen moved here from the Prince Qin's mansion to live here, and I was alone among them. Thinking of the mother's voice and smile, it seemed as if it was just yesterday, and I didn't realize that more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye... Erlang, you What is the meaning of saying that a person stands between heaven and earth all his life?"

Before Fang Jun stopped in the main hall, he looked up at the misty ridge of the hall, and lost his mind for a moment... It was not because the question Li Chengqian asked was too abrupt, but because he didn't know the answer.

Even in the 21st century, when technology explodes, humans still have no answers.

where am i from?
going there?
Do people live just to live?
Does the universe exist just to exist?
Are the rules of heaven and earth really just a coincidence?
Looking at the universe, human beings are so small and humble, so what is the meaning of benevolence, righteousness and morality advocated by human beings?
Is the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness practiced in the world really more noble than the beast's predation by the weak?
……

Coming out of the East Palace, Fang Jun sat in the carriage, the wheels crushed the rain-soaked bluestone slabs on the long street, raised the curtains and looked at the scenery on both sides of the street, still confused.

He was shut down by Li Chengqian's question that hit his soul...

The most important thing is that the long river of history is mighty, and every drop of water is full of joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys in the world. How much can he, Fang Jun, do even if he can achieve the ultimate?He is obsessed with eradicating the curse of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, hoping that the most glorious era in the history of Chinese civilization will be longer and more stable. Even if he still cannot escape the fate of the dynasty's collapse in the future, he can still suffer less pain and leave more for Chinese civilization. Many inheritances... But even if it is achieved, what is it compared to the vast universe and long history?
What I did my best, and even my own existence, suddenly seemed to lose all meaning.

If one's own existence is nothing more than "Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly", then is everything a dream and has no substance?

Why all this?

……

The carriage was driving east along the long street, and when it passed Chongrenfang, Wei Ying, who was driving, turned his head and approached the carriage, and asked, "Erlang, do you want to go back to the mansion to have a look?"

Fang Jun came back to his senses and said, "Then go back and have a look."

Since the defeat of the Guanlong Army and the victory of the East Palace, Fang Jun has sent many craftsmen to repair the seriously damaged Liang Guogong Mansion. Although time is not long now, the main buildings and halls must have been repaired almost, so I just go back and have a look, and urge the craftsmen Some speed up the progress so that they can move back to Fuchu as soon as possible.

After all, he has been removed from the position of General of Youtunwei now, and it would be inappropriate to continue to stay in the camp of Youtunwei. Maybe someone will impeach him for this...

The carriage turned a corner on the road and went straight to Chongrenfang. Dozens of soldiers marched through the city, attracting the attention of passers-by around. When they saw the family emblem of the Fang family on the carriage, they couldn't help talking.

"Speaking of which, Fang Er is quite unlucky. I thought that helping the crown prince defeat the rebels would lead him to ascend the imperial court and pay his respects to the court, but his majesty came back unscathed, and the determined Yi Chu... now Even the military power is gone, this is the most famous general with the most outstanding achievements in recent years, it is unreasonable."

"Shouldn't the crown prince be the most unlucky one? I thought he would be enthroned soon, but His Majesty came back. How do you say that? Everything is fate, and it's not in the slightest."

"Your Majesty is also confused. The crown prince has done a good job, so why do you have to abolish it? What a pity, such a benevolent and loving king like the crown prince is rare in the ages."

"Be careful!"

In any case, it is a serious crime to criticize the king behind his back. Pedestrians looked around nervously, and when they saw that there were no suspicious people around, they breathed a sigh of relief and hurried away.
