Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4090
Hibiscus Garden, the residence of Queen Seondeok.

The stars and the moon are shining outside the window, the clouds gather and the rain clears...

Nestled in the man's broad arms, caressing his muscular chest with slender hands, Kinderman hesitated for a while before calming down his throbbing, although she could not help but say, "Lang You are still young, you should not be obsessed with matters of men and women, otherwise you will hurt your foundation and your lifespan will be damaged."

The man around her is not only deeply rooted in her love, but also a backer she can rely on for the rest of her life. She wants to live forever, but she doesn't want him to die young because of his greed for pleasure...

Fang Jun stretched out his hand to push her wet hair away, revealing his snow-white and thin fragrant shoulders. Feeling the incomparable touch of his palm, he said with a smile: "I am very talented, so I should do my best to serve Her Majesty the Queen, even if I beat the bones and sucked the marrow." No hesitation."

"Oh! You are so thick-skinned, and you are not ashamed."

Kinderman's snow-white and picturesque cheeks were as red as blood, buried in the man's arms, not daring to see anyone, and angrily punched the man's chest several times with his powder fist.

How could she resist such wolf-like words?

Fang Jun smiled and stroked her, and asked, "Has Jin Famin ever been to Beijing?"

Kinderman arched into Fang Jun's arms, found a more comfortable posture, closed his eyes slightly, let his skin stick tightly, and said softly: "I just entered Beijing last night, and I stayed outside the city with two thousand flower lords. Although there are not many people, they are all warriors loyal to the Jin family, and their combat power is fierce, which may not be enough for field battles, but launching a surprise attack at a critical moment can attract surprise troops, and you can trust him."

"Hwarang" is the imperial guard of the Kim royal family. It was originally ruled by Jin Yuxin, an admirer of Kinderman. Fang Jun launched the "Golden City Mutiny" and completely destroyed the foundation of the six tribes of Silla, and the Kim royal family also suffered heavy losses. No longer able to rule Silla, Jin Yuxin also died at the same time.

Now, the "Hwarangs" who were scattered all over Silla were summoned by Jin Famin, and secretly arrived in Guanzhong by water and land through the business route of "East Datang Company", so that Fang Jun could drive them in case of emergencies...

Fang Jun said: "These people are either not needed, or they are needed to face the most elite Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty. Losses are inevitable...Aren't you afraid that they will all be lost in Chang'an, and the entire army will be wiped out?"

This is almost the last bit of power that Kinderman can fully control. Once he dies in battle, he will have no ability to protect himself from now on.

For a woman who is hostage in a foreign land, it is not easy...

The smooth face was pressed against the man's chest, and a strong and steady heartbeat sounded in his ears. Kinderman closed his eyes and said dreamily: "I'm in prison, like drifting with the tide, so why should I protect myself? Both my sisters are committed Yu Langjun, what is there to be reluctant about? I just hope that Lang Jun will take pity on us in a foreign land, wandering and helpless, and he will show affection and love, and we will never bear each other."

What else can Fang Jun say?

Whether these words are sincere or false, if a woman can do this, it is enough to gain his trust and love.

Immediately turned over and pressed Her Majesty under her body, and listened to the woman's exclamation: "Then let me serve Your Majesty."

Kinderman's winking eyes were like silk, wrapped around her hands like snow lotus roots, and bit her red lips lightly.

Although her muscles and bones are sore and weak, how can the majestic Queen of Silla be defeated without a fight?
*****
Just after Maoshi, when all the central government offices outside Chengtianmen came on duty, Yu Chigong came with a group of personal soldiers aggressively, and arrived in front of the government office of the Ministry of War.

The guard in front of the gate stepped forward and laughed with him: "It turns out that he is the Duke of E. How dare you ask me what you are doing here..."

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked aside by Yu Chigong, striding into the yamen, and the accompanying soldiers stood guard outside the door.

The yamen had just been on duty, and many officials were sitting in their duty rooms before they started working. They saw the chaos in the front hall, and Yu Chigong, who was dressed in military uniform and helmet, strode forward with a dark face and a knife on his waist, shouting loudly: "Zhang Xingcheng Where is it? If I don’t give you some flair today, don’t you even recognize the knife in my hand? Come out to me!”

Oops, are you here to find fault with your feelings?The officials of the Ministry of War immediately became excited, their eyes were shining and they stretched their necks waiting to watch the excitement.

Although Zhang Xingcheng was surprised to be Minister of the Ministry of War for a long time, because the affairs of the Ministry were basically controlled by Cui Dunli and Guo Fushan, it was difficult for them to intervene in it, and there was no time for routine operations such as personnel transfer and placement, so there was no Zhang Xingcheng in the Ministry of War.

Besides, with Fang Jun in front of him, who would like the "lucky" Zhang Xingcheng?
At this moment, not only was no one to rescue him, but they were all suffocating and waiting to see a joke...

Cui Dunli stood in front of the guard window with a teacup in his hand, sipped his tea slowly, and watched Yu Chigong's rampage all the way, couldn't help frowning slightly.

Liu Shi, who was just reporting the affairs behind him, also looked out of the window, wondering: "When did Zhang Shangshu provoke this person?"

If it is said that Fang Jun's well-known club is the one who bears the most "unreserved" fate in the court, then before Fang Jun, this reputation was shared by Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong...

Known for his temper, when he is stubborn, he will not be soft and hard, so His Majesty Li Er sometimes has a big headache.

Cui Dunli said with a smile: "All the armies now know the power of firearms. Naturally, they are greedy for the firearms of the foundry bureau. However, the foundry bureau has resumed work for a long time, but the firearms distributed to the various armies are extremely limited. Can you not be in a hurry? Of course, the current situation is turbulent, only those who hide their plans and are unwilling to reconcile will rush to replenish their troops under their command, and Lu Guogong will be safe and indifferent."

Who would be willing to step into this mess if they didn't want to seize power in the chaos and make further progress, so that others would avoid it?
Yuchi Gong's heart is clearly revealed...

Liu Xun was a little worried: "Among the firearms produced by the Foundry Bureau, seventy-eight out of ten were sent to the East Palace Liushu. What should I do if a Shangshu uses this to make use of it?"

Cui Dunli turned his head, looked at this subordinate expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "The most important thing for a man to stand in the world is a position. If you choose your own position, you need to be unwavering, and only in this way can you achieve a career. As for which army to equip first after the firearms are produced, that is a matter for the Ministry of War, where is it his turn, Yu Chigong, to dictate?"

The head of the Hedong Liu family has outstanding abilities, but his personality is soft and his stand is not firm, so he needs to be beaten from time to time...

Liu Xi naturally understood the warnings in Cui Dunli's words, and said with a wry smile: "The officer is not wavering, but although Yu Chigong can't control our ministry affairs, Zhang Shangshu can. After all, he is the chief officer of the Ministry of War."

With someone's fame and status in hand, it should be taken for granted. If there is too much trouble, it will not look good after all.

Cui Dunli snorted coldly, and said: "At that time, I will have my own official to file a lawsuit with him, so you don't have to worry."

How could it be said that he had no resentment toward Zhang Xingcheng in his heart?Fang Jun was transferred away, regardless of his qualifications, ability, or status, he was the most suitable person to take over the post of minister of the Ministry of War, but in the end, Zhang Xingcheng, who was only pragmatic and did not have much talent, got in the way, so he was naturally unhappy.

At this level of official position, wanting to go further is not only a matter of ability, but also a matter of opportunity. If you are blocked, it will be difficult to make progress in at least three to five years, and it will be impossible to become one of the six departments in this life. Cui Dunli said that he was full of resentment.

Therefore, as a child of Shandong, he followed Fang Jun's footsteps closely, obediently obeying the orders of the Shandong family, and even caused his family to drift away from the Boling Cui family...

……

Inside the guard room, Zhang Xingcheng asked Yu Chigong to take a seat, and said with a wry smile: "Why did Duke E come here in person to make a fuss? If there is anything important, you can send someone to let you know, and the next official will take care of it."

Fang Jun has military merits, and his title is the honor of the Duke of the country, so he sits in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, combining status, seniority and power, no one dares to be rude.

But Zhang Xingcheng has no credit, only because of his identity as a Shandong boy, he only stole the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. Although he has a lot of power, he is not hard to follow. Facing a minister of Zhenguan like Yu Chigong, he is naturally short and dare not provoke him randomly. , Even if people call at the door noisy, they still swallow their anger.

I feel aggrieved in my heart, I can't get through even if I try my best, but I still have to force myself to smile...

Yu Chigong didn't care about his mood at all, he slapped the table with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, glared angrily, and sternly reprimanded: "Your Majesty has been back to Beijing for a long time, and the foundry bureau has resumed work for a long time, why is the right Hou Wei under my command so late?" Can’t get firearms replenished? If what happened in Guanlong happens again, and we fail to deploy firearms in time, we will be negligent, causing thieves to rampant and His Majesty to be in danger, will Zhang Xingcheng be responsible for this?”

This crime is too big, Zhang Xingcheng was startled and angry: "How can the Duke of E confound black and white like this? The lower official is only a minister of the Ministry of War, how can he influence the affairs of the court? If you come here today and have something to do, please let me know." , the things in my duties should be done as it should be, please forgive me if I am not capable, but if you come to humiliate me, I will not accompany you."

Clay sculptures are still three-point hot, not to mention the descendants of his family, the Minister of the Ministry of War?
Yu Chigong nodded with a dark face, "Okay, I'm not talking nonsense. Now that the casting bureau has resumed work, the firearms needed by You Houwei must be fully equipped within three days. Since the Eastern Expedition, the subordinates have suffered a lot. I just replenished them." Soldiers, but because of the lack of firearms, they cannot form new troops and prepare for battle. Once His Majesty blames it, I can’t afford it, and the responsibility must be on you.”

Zhang Xingcheng laughed angrily, spread out his hands and said angrily: "The Duke of E is also an honored minister of the country and a veteran of the two dynasties, do you really think that I am the official of the Ministry of War, and I am the only one who decides the whole of the Ministry of War? Really not To tell you the truth, I don't know the number of firearms produced by the Foundry Bureau and which army the inventory is allocated to. Even if you complain to His Majesty, I will still say the same thing."

It's okay to be tossed with guns all day long by these villains in the Ministry of War, now it depends on the face of you generals who command the army, you can't bully people like this, right?
Anyway, I'm willing to lose face and don't care about embarrassment. If you want firearms, you can go to court yourself.

I thought this Minister of War was one of the six books, and it was only one step away from entering the cabinet. Now I know that not only has no real power, but it is also a hard job to be scolded. If I knew this, why bother to fight?
