Tiantang Splendid

Outstanding prestige
The fine sound of rain could not cover up the voices outside the hall. Listening to the voices of "Mighty Duke of Yue" from far and near, and feeling the sincere, sincere and enthusiastic support and worship, the expressions of all the officials in the hall were different. , different thoughts.

No matter who it is, it can be seen that Fang Jun today is infinitely close to the state of "power minister". Although he is slightly inferior to Dong and Huo's generation, as long as he defeats the rebels and helps protect the country, who will know him in time? Where can I go?
And the emergence of a "power minister" is not in the interests of everyone...

Li Chengqian showed joy, got up directly, and said with a smile: "The current situation is entirely due to the Duke of Yue's charge and the protection of the sky. It can be said that he has made great contributions. You should come to the door with me to welcome you."

Liu Ji's eyelids twitched, and he quickly stopped: "Your Majesty, although the Duke of Yue has worked hard and made great achievements, he is worthy of any courtesy, but after all, there are differences between monarchs and ministers. If your majesty greets you at the door, you will mess up the etiquette of the monarch and ministers. I am afraid that those who do not know the truth If you use this to criticize the Duke of Yue, not only will His Majesty's intentions be misinterpreted, but it will even cause trouble for the Duke of Yue. After all, the lessons from Dong and Huo are not far away, and your Majesty should take it as a warning..."

He only mentioned Dong and Huo, and he already had some reservations, but in fact, he was thinking of "Wang and Yang". a country.

Of course, mentioning "Dong and Huo" is already his limit, and he must not dare to compare Fang Jun to "Wang and Yang", otherwise, with Fang Er's stick temper, he might be able to kill him in this martial arts world. Your Majesty, the kind that no one can stop...

Li Chengqian stopped and frowned.

He naturally knew that Liu Ji would stand up and stop him. After all, the emperor's superiority towards Fang Jun has reached the extreme of a monarch and minister, and he is short of calling "Father Xiang" like Qin Shihuang, so that Fang Jun's status and prestige are infinitely elevated. , How can the civil service system sit idly by?

But he thought Fang Jun deserved it, and he was ready to ignore whatever Liu Jie said to stop him, but Liu Jie dissuaded him in the opposite direction, thinking that this would bring more criticism to Fang Jun, so Li Chengqian You have to think more about it.

Xu Jingzong whispered from the side: "Your Majesty, although Liu Shizhong has different opinions and sinister intentions, his words are not without reason. You should sit here and wait for the Duke of Yue to enter the palace to see you."

Liu Jie almost vomited blood and glared at each other angrily.

Xu Jingzong looked back, happy and fearless.

Li Chengqian looked at the two civil servant leaders who looked like fighting cocks, finally sighed, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, let's do what Aiqing said, let's all sit down, the enemy should be united as one, how can we be tit for tat and internal friction everywhere?" Infighting? Don’t say a few words, let’s listen to Duke Yue’s introduction of the battle outside the palace gate.”

"Here."

"The minister obeys the order."

Liu Ji and Xu Jingzong stared at each other and returned to their seats.

Li Ji watched his nose and heart from the sidelines, as if he didn't care about everything...

After a while, Fang Jun strode into the hall, stood still at the door, and knelt down on one knee: "I have an audience with Your Majesty!"

Li Chengqian said happily: "Aiqing doesn't need to be too polite, just come forward quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fang Jun just got up, took off his shoes, stepped on the clean floor and came to the imperial case, stood still and cupped his hands: "I don't know if His Majesty summoned you, what's the matter?"

Li Chengqian signaled the servant at the side to bring a chair and put it behind Fang Jun, and said with a smile: "Duke Yue is wearing armor, so you might as well sit down and talk."

"Here!"

Fang Jun responded, lifted his skirt armor, and sat on the chair facing the emperor with a big horse. The rest of the officials were separated on both sides, and they all looked at his generous back with admiration.

Zhang Liang on the side couldn't hide his envy and jealousy.

Man, if so...

Seeing Fang Jun sitting down, Li Chengqian asked, "How is the battle outside?"

Everyone pricked up their ears. Although the battle reports have been continuously presented here, Fang Jun, who is fighting on the front line as a general of the army, is the one who knows the battle situation best. Therefore, Fang Jun's words can more clearly outline the current situation. situation.

Fang Jun was as stable as Mount Tai, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the strength of the rebel army entering the city is between [-] and [-], including Li Daozong's department, Yuchi Gong's department, and some private troops from Shandong clan. The total strength of Yuchi Gong's troops is close to [-], and they are all elite troops. In contrast, the mob Shandong private army is fighting against Liu Rengui's navy soldiers in the Tianjie area, causing heavy casualties. The private army in Shandong can be completely defeated, but now the situation of routs and riots in various parts of the city has been contained."

Everyone seemed to have a overlooking map of Chang'an in front of their eyes, and the distribution of troops, horses and forces of all parties were clearly visible.

Zhang Liang couldn't help asking: "The elite of the rebel army besieged the Hall of Virtuous Virtue. I don't know if the Duke of Yue is sure to retreat from the enemy?"

Fang Jun glanced at Zhang Liang, and said calmly: "Yun Guogong is also a person who has experienced battles for a long time. When he knows that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is not the end, who dares to say that he will win? On the contrary, if you have a certainty in your heart." The heart of victory will easily lead to slack in the army, and I don't need to teach you the truth that arrogant soldiers are bound to lose."

The "oppression" on Zhang Liang seems to have relaxed a bit recently, and this guy started jumping up and down. It seems that he still needs to be squeezed hard. He's just a bitch...

Zhang Liang was stunned and dared not get angry, but still asked: "At least Duke Yue should describe the situation around Wude Hall in detail? Your Majesty lives in the palace and doesn't know the situation outside, so he can't be blind Guess."

Fang Jun ignored the trap in this guy's words, and slowly said: "The rebels have been besieging Wude Hall since last night, and launched a fierce attack from the two defense lines of Wudemen and Qianhuamen. Tens of thousands of rebels took turns to fight. Rest, the guards on the right and the imperial guards fought bloody all night, guarding the palace gates to the death, and now outside the two palace gates there are corpses everywhere, blood flowing like rivers."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and with just a few simple words, one could feel the cruelty of the battle outside the palace.The tiny place of the Wude Hall has to withstand the onslaught of tens of thousands of rebels taking turns like an endless tide. It is conceivable how much pressure the defenders have to bear. If they are not careful, the rebels will break through in a certain place, and then As a result, the entire front line collapsed, and the defenders had to work hard to hold the line of defense.

And from Fang Jun's blood-red eyeballs, it can be seen how exhausted and stressed this man is...

The current Fang Jun made the ministers present feel envious and jealous regardless of his prestige, momentum, and status, but everyone had to admit that Fang Jun deserved everything.

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, and asked: "I heard that the Duke of Yue pulled the reserve team out last night to prepare for the attack, but even though the military situation was urgent, he kept holding it down. I don't know why?"

"Your Majesty, it is clear that the reserve team is not there just in case, but to find the rebels' loopholes and strive to kill them with one blow and completely turn the tide of the battle. Since Xue Wanche and Zheng Rentai in the south of the city cannot enter the city, neither can Duke Wei outside the Chunming Gate. If you lead an army into the city to counter the rebellion, then even if you release the reserve team, you will not be able to win a decisive victory. If this is the case, why bother? I have the confidence to guard the gate of the palace without the reserve team."

Fang Jun explained, and then his eyes were shining, and his words were sonorous: "My minister lives on the front line, knows the situation of the enemy and us well, and has a detailed and meticulous plan for how to fight. Others should not interfere indiscriminately, so as not to delay the military plan."

He reminded Li Chengqian, "If you use me, don't doubt my ability", so as not to cause the emperor to order indiscriminately in a panic and cause the war situation to be corrupted, and then he swept his eyes on Liu Ji, Zhang Liang and others one by one. He warned: "If someone makes admonitions without authorization and is suspected of shaking the morale of the army, please also deter them with severe punishments, so as to prevent them from harboring ulterior motives and harboring evil intentions!"

Lao Tzu led his sons and sons to fight bloody battles in the front, how can you allow you and other small children to tell stories and interfere behind the scenes?
Liu Ji and Zhang Liang's complexions were extremely ugly, but at this moment, Fang Jun's aura was photographed, but they dared not speak much.

Everyone knows this guy's temper, if he chokes up and can't hold it back, he will be pressed on top of the hall and beat him up, I'm afraid the emperor will give him a few words of warning, the unlucky ones are them...

Naturally, Xu Jingzong would not miss the opportunity to trample on Liu Ji like this: "The words of the Duke of Yue are justified. Civil officials rule the country and military commanders rule the world. The freedom of government, our ministers should be a warning, otherwise it will cause unbearable evil consequences, even if the title is dismissed, it is hard to escape the blame."

Liu Ji and Zhang Liang blushed, but they both shut up and did not refute.

Fang Jun smiled, did not agree with Xu Jingzong, but looked at Li Ji who was silent, and said to Li Chengqian: "Young Lord is by your majesty's side for consultation, which is enough for your majesty to know the situation of the external war well. If there is any difficulty For commissioned decisions, you may wish to consult the British public opinion."

How could it be so easy for this old bastard to stay out of the matter?

Li Ji looked at Fang Jun expressionlessly, and said, "Your Majesty, if you have any questions, I will tell you everything, and I will say everything."

Li Chengqian said happily: "All your lovers are my humerus. I am very relieved that you still never leave in this crisis."

After a pause, he said: "The king of Hejian County went out of the city to meet Duke Lu on my order, and got the promise from Duke Lu that he would guard the Xianyang Bridge to the death. Based on what Duke Yue saw, can Xue Wanche in the south of the city and Duke Wei in the east of the city give up the city gate? Defense, enter the city to counter the rebellion?"

Fang Jun pondered for a while, and instead of answering Li Chengqian's words, he asked Li Ji: "What does Yinggong think about this?"

Li Ji did not express anything about Fang Junyi's behavior of "pulling him into the water" again and again, but said bluntly: "Duke Lu is loyal to the country and a generous man."

Li Chengqian was thoughtful, "to be loyal to the country" means that Cheng Yaojin is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and will not betray, but it is unknown which emperor he is loyal to...

Fang Jundao: "I also have this concern. The defense line of the Wude Palace is temporarily consolidated, and it has not yet reached the point of erosion. We should wait until Lu Guogong arrives at Xianyang Bridge to discuss the next step. If the situation is unfavorable, we can make a judgment."
