Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4098 Thunderbolt
Fang Jun looked at the two people whose faces changed suddenly, suppressed the anger in his heart, and persuaded: "The two of you have served in the East Palace since the day your highness canonized you as the crown prince. You have been teaching your highness for so many years. They are really good teachers and helpful friends. Whether you are yourself or your family Forget it, you have already shared weal and woe with the Eastern Palace, so you can retire as soon as you want? Unless the traitor seeks honor and uses His Highness's head as a vote for the two of you."

Why has the aristocratic family been prosperous for hundreds of years, even in troubled times?
The most important point is that the aristocratic families don't care about personal grievances and enmity, and put aside the core Confucian purpose of "revenge even after nine generations", and only care about benefits.If you can get benefits from there, even if you have a deep hatred, you can ignore it; if there are no benefits, you will turn a blind eye even if you are relatives and friends.

Therefore, the officials of the Eastern Palace really wanted to withdraw from the big ship of the Eastern Palace and join the King Jin's camp. As long as they showed their real benefits, the other party would definitely accept it.

What benefits can make King Jin accept them and reuse them?
Naturally, "backstab" the prince and receive a certificate of honor...

Furious, Yu Zhining stood up and pointed his halberd and cursed angrily: "Fart! This old man is as famous as your father. I have been assisting His Royal Highness to work hard all these years. My Luoyang Yu family is also upright and upright. How can I allow you to slander me like this?"

Lu Deming was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at his eyes, cursing: "You are not a son of man, no wonder everyone calls you a 'stick', you are a complete jerk!"

Both of them are great Confucians in the world, highly respected by the world, but what is a "great Confucianism"?In addition to knowledge, looking at ancient and modern times, peaches and plums are spread all over the world, what is more important is a good reputation.

If Fang Jun is allowed to slander like this, how will he conduct himself in the world in the future?
Furthermore, even if they were scolded and ruined their reputation for a lifetime, they would have to do something serious to betray the Eastern Palace and get enough benefits from it. Now there is no benefit at all...

Fang Jun was not afraid at all, and retorted: "The news from the Taiji Palace just came out, and the two of you entered the palace late at night. You didn't come here to care about your Highness's dinner, did you? Don't think that others don't know what you are fighting. Abacus, deceive His Highness to take a risky gamble, and it is your credit for success. Since then, the power has been held with high qualifications, and even if you lose, your Highness will bear it. Showing loyalty...is simply shameless."

These words are tantamount to completely exposing the civil and military disputes that have always existed in the East Palace, and will no longer return to the previous state of seeming inconsistency, and clearly put the differences in front of their eyes.

Where can Yu Zhining and Lu Deming sit still?

The faces of the two changed drastically, and they got up together, and instead of looking at Fang Jun, they bowed to Li Chengqian and touched the ground. Lu Deming said in grief and indignation: "Your Highness, we have been serving you and assisting you wholeheartedly since the day your Highness became the reserve, even if you don't have much merit. , but there is always a bit of hard work, right? Now the Duke of Yue's words are like a knife, not only ruining the face of our old ministers, but also putting us in a place of eternal doom, please Your Highness uphold justice!"

Yu Zhining sighed, and said repeatedly: "Why is this? Why is this? Although there were some disputes between civil and military in the past, everyone was dedicated to His Highness's future. It is regarded as clinging to the East Palace, and even suspected that one day he will betray the East Palace for his own benefit.

These two people, one soft and the other hard, were tearing up the same old tears, really feeling sorry for them.

Li Chengqian gave Fang Jun a reproachful look, and then hurriedly comforted the two of them: "You two masters don't have to be like this, Gu Fei is a cold person, how can you forget the dedication of the masters over the years? It's just that now My father's will is hard to change, and I will lose this reserve in the end, so it is difficult to repay the two masters, and I feel very guilty... But no matter what, the two are knowledgeable, loyal and profound, and I will never let each other down."

In fact, he doesn't care whether the Eastern Palace will be completely divided because of civil and military disputes. Whether it is the father of today or the new emperor of tomorrow, how can he be cautious because of the tyrannical power of the Eastern Palace?Whether he, the deposed prince, can die well depends only on whether the family affection between father and son and brother can overcome the greed for imperial power.

So he just didn't want these two teachers to lose all their face because of being crushed by Fang Jun...

Fang Jun looked indifferent, noncommittal.

Regardless of the documents and archives of his previous life, or what he has seen and heard in this life, he already has a clear understanding of the affairs of the aristocratic family.The continuous inheritance of these aristocratic families that lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years has indeed played an incalculable role in the inheritance of Chinese culture, but at the same time it is also the chief culprit for the change of dynasties and the chaos of the people.

They cling to the body of the Chinese nation and suck the marrow, and are only loyal to the family.

That's why he doesn't have the slightest favor for the aristocratic family, and he has to be extra vigilant against the dangers of the aristocratic family in every major event...

Li Chengqian saw that Fang Jun had nothing to do, so he had to turn to the two of them to comfort him: "Erlang has a stubborn temper, and everyone knows it. For this reason, my father punished him many times, but he couldn't find the right way. Both of you are highly respected people in the world." A great Confucian, with a transparent mind, will naturally be as modest as a valley."

The implication is that this person is a stick, why bother with his knowledge?
When it's serious, even the emperor can't convince him, you can only suffer, I won't help you...

Yu Zhining and Lu Deming looked at each other, but they were silent.

Naturally, they don't care about Fang Jun's attitude. Although their words are fierce, they are not unbearable with their self-cultivation. It's just that Fang Jun's timely appearance broke their premeditated plan and made the plan of persuading the prince come to naught, so they just felt unwilling .

Just like what Li Chengqian said, Fang Jun has now been deprived of the position of minister of the Ministry of War. Although his title is high, he is far away from the center. The feelings of guilt are bound to be deep, and the heart of protection is the strongest.

As long as Fang Jun doesn't rebel, even if he pokes a hole in the sky, His Majesty Li Er will only make big things small and small things small.

Whoever provokes Fang Jun will have to admit that he is unlucky...

Tolerance was calm for a while, and it was not difficult for the two bigwigs who were in the imperial court.

A burst of hurried footsteps broke the embarrassment in the hall, Li Chongzhen, the second person in the "Baiqisi", walked in with a servant, his eyes swept over the faces of Fang Jun, Yu Zhining, and Lu Deming, knowing that this is the East Palace Therefore, without hesitation, he said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, just now His Majesty fainted again, my father has ordered the four gates to be strictly prohibited from entering and exiting, and at the same time ordered Zuo Wuwei to be stationed outside Taiji Palace to block the road to prevent any accidents from happening. "

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in the hall, shaking the ears of several people present.

His Majesty Li Er woke up from fainting last time, but everyone knows that this kind of thing is not terrible for the first time, as long as the treatment is timely, he will basically wake up, but if it happens again, the chance of waking up is extremely slim...

Is the sky really going to collapse?

Yu Zhining and Lu Deming only felt a chill rising from their backs, and the cold sweat dripped down in an instant. If Fang Jun hadn't stopped in time, they might take action immediately after persuading the prince. No matter whether they do it or not, as long as the matter is arranged, It will inevitably leave traces.

Just at this time, His Majesty Li Er fainted again, the gate of the palace was closed, strict and thorough investigation... As long as the slightest clue is found, it will be a bloody massacre.

This is simply a turnaround from the gate of hell...

Li Chengqian's face was pale, he was on the verge of falling, he staggered, and said in a trembling voice: "Send the orphan...into the palace."

"Hold on, Your Highness!"

Fang Jun hurriedly stopped Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian touched the corner of his eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: "Father faints again, and he must be in danger. As a son of man alone, why not hurry to serve?"

In terms of filial piety, he has a deep admiration for His Majesty Li Er. Even if His Majesty Li Er wanted to depose him several times, he never complained. The throne belongs to his father. If his father doesn't give it to him, what should he do?
What's more, at present, the father is in a coma on the line of life and death. If King Jin arrives to control the situation first, if the father has something he can't bear to say, wouldn't he become a fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered?
The king of Jin only needs to write an imperial edict, and he can die without a place to bury himself. Afterwards, there will be no one to investigate the authenticity...

Fang Jun didn't answer, turned around to look at Li Chongzhen, and asked in a deep voice, "What did the Prince of Hejian say?"

Li Chongzhen said: "My father said that if the crown prince has not arrived, no one is allowed to enter His Majesty's sleeping hall."

Several people in the hall let out a long sigh.

Hejian County King Li Xiaogong is the first county king of the clan, he can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people. Apart from His Majesty Li Er, he is the most powerful, most prestigious, and most senior. Although such a person usually seems to be close to the East Palace, But no one can guess which side to stand at the critical moment.

Once His Majesty really leaves behind the edict of waste storage, he will definitely carry it out with all his strength...

But since there is this sentence, it shows that Li Xiaogong's position is impartial, and he will never fall to the side of King Jin, allowing King Jin to take advantage of His Majesty's fainting to act recklessly.

The safety of the East Palace is temporarily safe.

Of course, if His Majesty has already left a will, that is another matter...

Fang Jun nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Please trouble me to send someone out of the city to the Sixth Commander Camp of the Eastern Palace, and inform Duke Wei that the whole army is on alert."

Since the four gates of Chang'an City have been closed and the whole city is under martial law, naturally only the "Baiqisi" can get out, and only they can get out.

Li Chongzhen responded happily: "The commander-in-chief has already explained something, and he will act according to the orders of His Royal Highness, the Duke of Yue."

At this time, Yu Zhining and Lu Deming couldn't talk at all, and they could only watch Fang Jun and the military's relationship arrangements at the critical moment.But after hearing Li Chongzhen's words, he also let go of his heart. After all, Li Chongzhen has different identities. He is not only a son of the clan, but also the son of Li Xiaogong, and he is also the second in command of the "Hundred Knights"...

The two also have to admit that when the situation is in an emergency, only the army can turn the tide. No matter how great the official is, no matter how great the prestige is, it is just a bird on the beam, too loud to help the situation.

Military power is fundamental.

Regardless of the future of the East Palace, their desire to completely replace the military forces represented by Fang Jun as the dominant force is nothing but a dream.

The greatest benefits will always be swallowed up by the military...how can you be willing?
