Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4077
Xiao Yu and Zhang Xingcheng looked at each other, and they both saw each other's nervousness...

In fact, until now, the strength of the East Palace is still far above the princes. Even if Fang Jun has no military power, he still has a very strong influence in the army, not to mention the Youtunwei, Anxi Army, and the Navy. All over his trilogy, plus a "Military God" Li Jing, can this be a force that can be ignored?

Not to mention those officials who were appointed by His Majesty as the subordinate officials of the Eastern Palace in the early years, their own interests have long been tied up with the Eastern Palace, and all prosperity and loss are attributable to each other.

If these people don't give up and unite to fight hard, the energy they will explode will be enough to set off a stormy sea in the court.

Fang Jun showed no embarrassment at all, and said with a smile: "Last night, Su Dingfang sent a family letter, saying that the Suwo clan of the Japanese country refused to surrender, and tried to mutiny and massacre the sailor soldiers. Liu Rengui saw through it, and led his army to smash the Asuka capital..."

The laughter in the hall stopped abruptly.

The navy broke through Asuka?Doesn't that mean that the Wa country has been completely destroyed?

Everyone clearly remembers that King Jin begged to go to sea to establish a country and feudal clan... the atmosphere was tense in an instant.

On the one hand, he has just asked His Majesty to confer the position of the right servant of Jin Wang Shangshu, and entered the center to establish his position in one fell swoop; on the other hand, he quickly overthrew the Japanese kingdom and complied with Jin Wang's previous proposal to go to sea to establish a country... Then Jin Wang is going to live up to his words and enter the Shangshu Province to move towards the reserve position Take a big step forward, or follow the previous pleadings, take into account the brotherhood, and avoid going overseas without getting involved in the fight for reserves?
All of a sudden, King Jin's camp was pinned against the wall.

Zhang Xingcheng looked gloomy, and said, "Since it's just a letter from the family, why do you need to discuss it in the court? The Navy belongs to the Ministry of War. If it is true that it has contributed to the Asuka capital and destroyed the Wa Kingdom, I will receive the battle report. Here Before that, all the rumors could not be accurate.”

This is a critical juncture, and we must promote King Jin to return to Shangshu Province and serve as the right servant, otherwise, once it is shelved, it will inevitably change.

I have not received the battle report yet, and you want to control the situation with a letter from home?
Want to drop the United States.

Others also understood what he meant, as long as His Majesty confers the post of Right Servant of Jin Wang Shangshu on the first step, it is impossible to change it anyway, otherwise, wouldn't the emperor's words be useless?
Xiao Yu nodded secretly, this Zhang Xingcheng usually did not perform well, but his performance was not satisfactory, but he was reliable at critical moments...

Unexpectedly, Fang Jun shook his head with a smile, and said slowly: "The letter from the family was just brought by a naval officer who returned to Beijing to report on his duties, but the military report was rushed eight hundred miles away. Have you not received the navy battle report? The destruction of the Japanese kingdom is a major event, but Zhang Shangshu concealed it and did not report it. I wonder what his intentions are?"

This time, even His Majesty Li Er looked at Zhang Xingcheng with unfriendly eyes.

As the Minister of the Ministry of War, no matter what you are fighting for, you should put the ministry's affairs first. If you ignore the ministry's affairs because the King of Jin was awarded the post of Shangshu Youpushe, you will deliberately hide or delay the battle report of the Japanese kingdom's destruction. Reporting from time to time, isn't it a case of disregarding public and private interests and manipulating power?
Zhang Xingcheng saw that His Majesty Li Er's eyes were unfriendly, and hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, I have indeed never seen the so-called naval battle report, and it is definitely not a deliberate concealment!"

Fang Jun sneered, and said slowly: "As the Minister of the Ministry of War, if you can't even control the affairs of the Ministry, and you don't even know what the daily battle reports are, and you are all focused on fighting for power and flattery all day long, what face is there to steal away from him?" Job?"

The ministers clicked their tongues one after another, watching the two bicker with great interest.

But it was obvious that Zhang Xingcheng was completely at a disadvantage...

Zhang Xingcheng was sweating profusely.

He did not see the navy's battle report about the destruction of the Japanese kingdom, otherwise, how could he not immediately inform King Jin and Xiao Yu to discuss countermeasures?But he also understands that when he returns to the Yamen of the Ministry of War at this moment, the naval battle report must be neatly placed among the documents piled up on his desk, and even the registration of all official documents by the scribes. It clearly showed that the battle report had arrived before he left the yamen.

Everything is due to his dereliction of duty as Minister of the Ministry of War, ignoring this important battle report.

Of course, everyone knows what's going on. Fang Jun is in the Ministry of War with one hand covering the sky, and all the people are his private people. It's easy to do such a thing of framing. Everyone knows that he, Zhang Xingcheng, was wronged. of.

But so what?
Right now, Zhang Xingcheng is sitting on the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. All the affairs of the Ministry of War are within the scope of his authority. Any mistakes that occur can only be borne by him.

Crying for injustice and saying that Fang Jun framed him?

It would be even more embarrassing for a person who has left office to play with the power as the minister of the Ministry of War...

However, Fang Jun's viciousness is not limited to this.

He Zhang Xingcheng couldn't control the affairs of the ministry because he was incompetent, so what about King Jin who inspected the Minister of the Ministry of War?
Not to mention that there is Fang Jun, a behind-the-scenes mountain in the Ministry of War, who is secretly presiding over it. Which yamen is free from intrigue and political games?
If you can do it, you can do it, and if you can’t do it, you can’t do it. Any behavior that emphasizes objective conditions is a manifestation of incompetence.

Could it be that after sitting on the throne, all the courtiers were loyal and obedient?

How can the majestic king of Jin not even be able to fully control a military office, be able to serve as a minister and right servant and become a prime minister?

Not to mention controlling the court in the future...

His Majesty Li Er was as sinking as water, and he didn't say a word, no one could understand what he was thinking.

Seeing that Zhang Xingcheng was at a loss, Xiao Yu had no choice but to step forward and said in a deep voice: "The Ministry of War has expanded rapidly since the Duke of Yue took over. Ministry affairs are unavoidable, especially those cunning scribes in the ministry who only know flattery and don't know loyalty, so they are easy to be controlled by others. The old minister thought that this was the right time to order Yushitai and Dali Temple to be stationed in the Ministry of War to strictly investigate all kinds of corruption Slack off, clean up the atmosphere."

The ministers looked at Xiao Yu together, exclaiming in their hearts: Amazing!

This matter was obviously laid out by Fang Jun, and he could not utter a word after suffering a sullen loss, but Xiao Yu immediately turned his gun and pointed the core of the problem at the Ministry of War - I suffered this loss, but I couldn't bear it, so Let's take a closer look at the issue of the Ministry of War.

If this can be used to get Yushitai and Dali Temple to intervene and complete a purge within the Ministry of War, then the current setbacks that King Jin and Zhang Xingcheng have suffered are not unacceptable...

Jiang is still old and spicy. Facing such a sharp attack by Fang Jun, he can still turn the defense into an offense.

In the hall, Sun Fujia, the Dali Temple minister who had always been taciturn, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, it is the responsibility of Yushitai to inspect malfeasance and eliminate corruption. It is illegal for Dali Temple to intervene rashly. Evidence, Dali Temple will not be too late to intervene."

All fools know that the Ministry of War may become the focus of the battle between the prince and the king of Jin. Who would want to rashly get involved?

If you can avoid it, avoid it.

Besides, Fang Jun is not greedy for money and power, so the so-called "acting like a leader", those who can follow his subordinates are mostly people with lofty aspirations and good character. It is not easy to find evidence of his corruption and dereliction of duty.If they can't find out, but still want to capture the position of the Ministry of War, King Jin and his party members can only fabricate and frame unjust cases at will... Sun Fujia claims to be an official for half his life, how dare he not protect it in his later years?
Xiao Yu frowned, he also expected that Sun Fujia would not mix, so he looked at Liu Ji.

Although Liu Jie has been promoted to serve as a servant, Yushitai is his old department and has great influence. As long as he is willing to support him, he can wipe out Fang Jun's party members in the military department's office and help Jin Wang completely control the military department.It's just that Liu Ji's position is vacillating, he has no principles at all, and he may not be willing to board the chariot of King Jin.

Sure enough, facing Xiao Yu's menacing eyes, Liu Ji wiped the sweat from his brow, turned his eyes to His Majesty Li Er's face, and thought: "Of course there are rumors about Yu Shitai, but you can't treat him casually." The six ministries carry out inspections, otherwise everyone in the court will be in danger, what is the system? In my opinion, if I have conclusive evidence to prove that someone has manipulated the affairs of the ministry, neglected their duties and bent the law, no inspection of any central yamen should be carried out."

After saying this, he kept staring at His Majesty's face, and when he saw His Majesty's frown slightly relaxed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that His Majesty is not willing to make a big move against the Ministry of War. From this, it can be seen that even though he is inclined to make King Jin the crown prince, he has not yet made up his mind. If he stands on the side of King Jin regardless, wouldn't it be against His Majesty's will?
Very dangerous, dangerous...

Xiao Yu was very angry, and glared at Cen Wenwen, the old god beside him who was closing his eyes and meditating: They are all chosen by you as successors, what kind of virtue do you see?
Cen Wenwen sat on his knees in the hall, but he seemed to be out of his mind, and everything was out of his mind...

Fang Jun nodded at Liu Ji, and praised: "Liu Shizhong's words are very true. He is worthy of being the pillar of the country. He is very sensible, mature and prudent. He is really a role model for my generation."

Xiao Yu laughed angrily, glanced at Fang Jun, and kept silent.

To say that Liu Ji is "mature, prudent, and sensible" is not to call me a nonsense?However, the sarcasm like a shrew in the court is really child's play and out of place.

His Majesty Li Er knocked on the case table, and said slowly: "Put this matter on hold for now, and we will discuss it later. Do you have anything else to say?"

Xiao Yu drooped her eyelids, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes.

Cheng Yaojin, who had never made a sound, stood up at this time, bowed to the ground, and said loudly: "The old minister has rectified the military equipment and replenished the soldiers today, and has restored the fighting strength of the troops under his command. I implore the old minister to lead Erlang under his command to be stationed in the capital and be imprisoned in the guard palace!"

When he made a sound, the officials in the hall couldn't hide their shock.

First it was Xiao Yu, then Zhang Xingcheng, and now it was Cheng Yaojin... All the clans in Jiangnan and Shandong are all on the side of King Jin?
King Jin's power has swelled to this point quietly, it seems that King Wei has no chance at all...

Of course, looking at Fang Junzhi's actions, it seems that Donggong may not lie flat.

The situation became more and more turbulent.
