Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4465
At the time of the great ancestor Li Yuan, Li Ji's real power and status was already the best among the military generals of the Wagang family, and he could be regarded as a "feudal lord". Especially after Li Mi's death, Li Ji was already regarded as the leader with the highest status in the Wagang family.

It’s just that Li Ji is a low-key man with a profound city and a deep understanding of the way to protect himself. Not only did he not participate in the Xuanwumen Change initiated by His Majesty Li Er, but also he only won a few battles in the early days of the Zhenguan Dynasty.

So Cheng Yaojin admired Li Ji very much, but he followed his lead and obeyed his words.

Of course, Cheng Yaojin has a very stubborn temper. Although he knows how to calculate, he seems to be slick and flexible, but once he gets in the way, he is easy to make mistakes...

For example, this time when King Jin was defeated, Cheng Yaojin relied on his military achievements and strength. He neither spared any effort to support King Jin who launched the mutiny, nor did he support Emperor Li Chengqian with a clear-cut stand.

But since sooner or later, he will have to go through this bloody battle and lose his strength, why didn't he stand on His Majesty's side earlier, and now win more benefits after the victory?

Therefore, Cheng Yaojin felt extremely aggrieved. Hearing that His Majesty actually asked him to lead an army to Liangzhou to suppress You Xiaowei, and it would be another fierce battle without end, this aggrieved burst out immediately...

"Do you really think I can't grow up on a vegetarian diet? If I really get anxious, I don't believe that he dares to disregard the peace of the Hexi Corridor!"

Cheng Yaojin burst into anger and spoke rudely.

Li Ji sneered, and said: "If you really rebel and raise the rebel flag in the morning, three armies will arrive in the evening. Fang Jun will lead the army out of Guanzhong to the west, Xue Rengui will lead the Anxi army to the east, and even some soldiers from the Gar family will come out of Qinghai Lake to attack you from three sides... How long do you think you can last?"

Do you really think His Majesty doesn't understand anything?Do you really think that Room [-] is just a decoration?If you dare to let you go to Liangzhou, you must have the means to prepare for the worst situation. If you are honest, it will be fine. People are willing to make a good story with you, but if you are not wicked, you can be wiped out with a backhand.

Cheng Yaojin's complexion was ugly, he naturally couldn't fail to see the encirclement and suppression that Liangzhou suffered from all aspects, the reason why he uttered wild words was only because he was unhappy in his heart, and his tongue was in vain, but Li Ji didn't give any face...

I became more and more depressed, sighed, and said helplessly: "Can't you help me fight for it? Even going out of Zhenhanhai Dufu Mansion is better than going to Liangzhou. The reason why I didn't respect His Majesty's order at the beginning was because I cared that these old brothers who had been with me for many years could have a good death. Instead of escaping, the Xianyang Bridge station suffered heavy losses.

Li Ji was a little speechless, displeased, and said, "How can there be so many good things in the world? Liangzhou guards the key points of the Silk Road, and it is a place that Chinese and foreign merchants must pass through. Wealth flows in every grain of sand. Otherwise, why do you think the An family is so arrogant? Lu Guogong has guarded Liangzhou for generations. Why is it so hard to fill your desires, so you have to look forward to Shu? People have to be satisfied!"

That is to say, His Majesty is soft-tempered today, but if you change to another emperor, where can you have good fruit?

Seeing that Li Ji refused to speak to His Majesty for him, Cheng Yaojin was naturally disappointed, shook his head and sighed, but after taking a sip of tea, he asked again: "What do you think the imperial court is doing to measure the acres of land with great fanfare, and what is the intention?"

Li Ji said indifferently: "I don't know."

Cheng Yaojin naturally didn't believe it: "As the head of the prime minister and the number one in the dynasty, you don't even know why the court's policies come out?"

Li Ji snorted and said, "Do you really think that I am the so-called head of the Zaifu, No. 1 in the dynasty?"

Cheng Yaojin was speechless.

In fact, everyone knows that Li Ji is not keen on power. Although he is the head of the hundred officials in name, he has never issued orders in the name of the head of the hundred officials, and pretends to be himself.

In today's imperial court, it can be said that the heroes are rising and keeping pace with each other. If one has to find a so-called "No.1 in the current dynasty", it can only be Fang Jun...

Cheng Yaojin hated iron for being weak: "Tell me about you, in terms of qualifications, ability, and strength, which one is not the number one in the dynasty? You have to let Fang Er's junior lie on his head to show off his power, it is really useless!"

He has a very good relationship with Fang Jun, which can be called a friend who has forgotten the years, but compared to his old comrade-in-arms and brother Li Ji who have fought side by side for many years, they are still far behind...

Li Ji said lightly: "When the moon is full, it will lose, and when the water is full, it will overflow. Don't do things to the extreme at any time... But with your wisdom, I am afraid that you will never understand this truth in your whole life."

Cheng Yaojin stared: "What can you do if you don't understand it? I just want to take advantage of it, but I don't want to suffer for the rest of my life. What can you do!"

Li Ji sneered: "So he was driven away from Guanzhong and went to the barren land of Liangzhou, but he didn't even dare to say a fart, he only dared to talk nonsense here, it's a joke!"

"..."

Cheng Yaojin was stunned speechless, with a black face flushed from embarrassment, suddenly got up, and said in a muffled voice, "Your words are not speculative, please leave!"

Turn around and go.

Li Ji also didn't get up to see them off, the old brothers who have been for many years are very casual in etiquette, watching Cheng Yaojin walk out of the door while drinking tea, thinking about the imperial court's intention of measuring the land in such a big way.

Obviously, His Majesty neither has such wisdom that the world can't see through, nor such a city that hides it from the world. This idea can only come from Fang Jun.

Looking at Fang Jun's past experience, he often had such unconscionable and unimaginable ideas, which were breathtaking and jaw-dropping, but he didn't know what his real purpose was this time?
*****
Liang Guogong's mansion.

After dinner, Fang Jun and his wife sat in the flower hall drinking tea and chatting...

"Starting tomorrow, I will be stationed in the North Military Camp of Xuanwumen to preside over the formation and reorganization of the left and right Jinwu Guards. This is a big matter that cannot be ignored. I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while. The weather is starting to turn cold. You should try to avoid going out as much as possible. It is not a joke if you catch the wind and cold."

Fang Jun sipped his tea and gave a warning.

The Chai brothers were defeated and captured, not to mention whether they could save their lives, their titles and official positions must have been deprived together, and as one of the two main forces defending Xuanwumen, the reorganization of Zuo Tunwei is imperative.

Instead of deleting, subtracting, adding, and supplementing on the original basis, it is more convenient to simply overthrow and rebuild. It can not only improve the combat power of the Zuo Tunwei, but also eliminate all the generals and soldiers loyal to the Chai family.Fang Jun does not need to be the general of the Jinwu Guard, not to personally take charge of these two armies, but the reorganization must be presided over by him, and must not be handed over to others, otherwise these two important troops, which will serve as the future guards of Chang'an City, will not be able to bear his mark, let alone use his fingers...

Jin Shengman pursed his lips and looked at Fang Jun with resentment.

Knowing that my husband and wife like to "do not follow the usual law", I originally planned to take my sister into the mansion to serve him with me these days.

Princess Gao Yang responded, and said: "I have sent someone to Huating Town to deliver a letter. I think father, mother, Shu'er, Qiaoer, and the children will all come back soon, but it mainly depends on what father wants."

After this rain, Guanzhong will be frozen, and even the entire area north of the Yangtze River will be greatly cooled. Once the river freezes and the waterway is blocked, it will be too much trouble to change land to the south of the Yangtze River and return to Guanzhong. Since everything in Guanzhong has been decided, it is better to come back after the beginning of next spring.

Fang Jun nodded: "It all depends on what father wants."

Although I miss my parents and children in my heart, I also know that traveling thousands of miles in winter is really suffering...

After taking a sip of tea, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, looked around suspiciously, only to find that it was Wu Meiniang sitting there dignified and charming, without saying a word.

As the "female Zhuge" of the Fang family, the talented and wise Wu Meiniang has a strong right to speak. Even Fang Xuanling sometimes takes the initiative to ask Wu Meiniang's opinion and pays attention to it. Why is her face so cold and reticent today?

Could it be that you are sick?
No way, this woman went to say something to serve her when she was taking a bath in the morning, but she was so excited...

"Meiniang, is something on your mind?"

Since this woman doesn't speak, Fang Jun can only take the initiative to ask, and he must not be neglected or neglected, otherwise he might become petty and have a "cold war" for several days...

Only then did Wu Meiniang blink her beautiful eyes, looked at Fang Jun, and asked: "The rebel army is pacified, and there is a mess in Guanzhong. It is the time when Shen Ke is being wiped out. Why did the gentleman leave the aftermath to Xu Jingzong and Ma Zhou, so that the two people's reputation and status rose sharply. I don't know how many people from the government and the opposition flattered me, and how many people stepped on the door of the house... But you are just working hard on the army?"

Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that this woman with a strong desire for power, when the power structure of the current court was being reshaped, blamed him for not taking advantage of the time to preside over the aftermath to "cut down differences with the party" and "place confidantes" in order to consolidate her position as "No.
