Chapter 454 National Strategy (Part 1)
Fang Jun is very concerned about Shenji Camp, but it is not clear how much he attaches importance to it. At best, it is just a test product. However, Chang Sun Chong took it away from him, which made Fang Jun very unhappy, and he also had great opinions on His Majesty Li Er.
When you first saw the power of black powder and wanted to use it to build an invincible army, you could think of me. When the court couldn't allocate too much money to build the Shenji Battalion, you could think of me. But When the Shenji Battalion showed its might in the Western Region and defeated the Turkic Wolf Cavalry, did you think of your son-in-law and nephew?
Bullying...
Although Fang Jun has never expressed too much dissatisfaction and indignation, this anger has always been nestled in his heart, making it uncomfortable.
Facing His Majesty Li Er, he could not do anything and did not dare to do anything.
Talk about fairness to His Majesty Li Er? But save it, it is a Tyrannosaurus rex that eats people without spitting out bones. It can express its anger in some small ways, but it must not be openly confronted. It is asking for trouble.
But Changsun Chong...
Are you the onion?
Fang Jun narrowed his eyes, thinking about how to get revenge on his eldest grandson. If the tiger doesn't show its power, do you really think that we are sick cats?
Li Chengqian personally poured a glass of wine for Fang Jun and advised: "Erlang, don't underestimate the impact of this matter. To put it mildly, it's a case of reselling ordnance, corruption and perverting the law; to put it more seriously, it's a conspiracy with foreign countries to support the enemy. Put it on someone else and kill the entire family. That's enough! Why are you so confused? With your wealth, why would you take such a dangerous path to make money? You are still young and cannot see the nature of this matter. This is not how much money you sold. The problem..."
Ever since he went to Lishan Farm, played Liu Xuande's Thatched Cottage, and was awakened by Fang Jun's words, Li Chengqian felt grateful to Fang Jun.
People with selfish motives are just waiting to see His Highness the Crown Prince’s jokes, waiting for him to make mistakes again and again until he loses his position as Crown Prince and is doomed!
People who have no selfish motives don't care about their own affairs. They just want to stay far away from the whirlpool of monarchy and protect themselves wisely.
As for those around me, it cannot be said that they do not have outstanding wisdom, nor do they have experience in officialdom. However, because they have interests at stake and are in the middle of the situation, it is inevitable that they will have a blind eye and cannot see the origin of the problem. They are just worried. As everyone knows, the more you do, the more mistakes you make.
Who would tell him bluntly what he should do?
Fang Jun!
When he figured out the metaphorical meaning of those two poems, he suddenly became enlightened and broke into a cold sweat!
It’s really risky! If he hadn't seen through this under Fang Jun's guidance, wouldn't he have gone further and further on the road of seeking death, and would have made his father more and more disgusted?
Therefore, Li Chengqian has always regarded Fang Jun as his most loyal minister!
Now there was an oral message from the censor who was loyal to the prince. Speaking of this matter, Li Chengqian couldn't wait to inform Fang Jun. It's just that he has been acting more and more cautiously recently, lest physical objects such as letters fall into the hands of interested people and cause unnecessary trouble, so he invited Fang Jun to a banquet and reminded him face to face.
At the same time, it also showed its support to Fang Jun to the outside world.
This is my person...
How could Fang Jun, who had been in official circles for two generations and had been in officialdom for a long time, fail to understand the meaning of Li Chengqian's move?
To be honest, he was really touched.
It should be noted that Li Chengqian is now like sitting on the crater of a volcano. If he is not careful, he will be in a situation of eternal disaster. Even though His Majesty Li Er seems to be extremely satisfied with Li Chengqian's recent performance, this emperor is a very independent person. He will not change his mind easily, but after he changes it, it will be even harder to change back!
It can be said that Li Chengqian's current situation is actually not much better than before.
This period is extremely critical for Li Chengqian. If he doesn't do well, he will make many mistakes. The best way is to wait and see what happens and stay out of it...
"Thank you for telling me, Your Highness, but this matter is not what Your Highness thinks. I am dedicated to serving the country and can shine on the sun and the moon. There is no need to worry about me. Your Highness can just wait and see what happens."
Fang Jun toasted Li Chengqian and said.
He was so confident about this that he presented the obsolete ordnance to the Ezo people, but he had asked His Majesty Li Er for permission in advance!
With His Majesty Li Er's orders, who is he afraid of?
Love so and so!
He even hoped that Changsun Chong could jump out in person, so that he could slap this guy in the face hard and let out a bad breath!
He was full of confidence, but Li Chengqian was unsure, thinking that Fang Jun had not realized the seriousness of the matter. He frowned and said: "You are definitely talented, but you are too confident! I don't know what you can rely on." , I advise you to be careful!”
Fang Jun nodded with a smile. After thinking about it, he felt that there was no problem in telling Li Chengqian the inside story of this matter. After all, this world belonged to his Lao Li family. Could he still betray the interests of Lao Li family?
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a familiar figure on the street through the bright glass on the window.
Fang Jun opened the window, and a gust of cold wind came in, which made Li Chengqian shiver. He was about to complain, but he saw Fang Jun leaning against the window and shouting: "Hey, Old Liu!"
Liu Rengui heard someone calling him on the street. He looked around and saw the window on the third floor of the restaurant across the street opened in the cold weather. Fang Jun waved to him with a smile. Liu Rengui, who was worried about where to stay, was immediately overjoyed and hurried over.
*****
"Humble position... Liu Rengui, a common man, please see His Highness."
The big and round guards led him up to the third floor. When he saw the stern-looking guards outside the room, he murmured in his heart, is the Marquis having a drink with that prince and noble? When he entered the elegant room and saw Li Chengqian, he was immediately startled and quickly knelt down to salute.
The room smiled and said: "Your Highness, may I introduce to you the future famous general of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Rengui!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Chengqian was stunned and Liu Rengui was embarrassed...
How can you introduce someone like this?
Even if you are really capable, you still have to be humble, right?
Li Chengqian pointed at Fang Jun dumbfounded: "Can't you be more serious?"
Unexpectedly, Fang Jun immediately said seriously: "Your Highness, you think the minister is joking? Let me tell you this, when generals like Duke Wei and Duke Ying get old, Liu Rengui will definitely be one of the pillars of the next generation's army!"< br>
At the end of Zhenguan and the beginning of Emperor Gaozong, there were only a handful of famous generals in the Tang Dynasty. Apart from Xue Rengui, Liu Rengui and Xi Junbuy, who else was there? Although Liu Rengui is not as outstanding as Xue Rengui, he is still a rare and famous general!
Liu Rengui's old face was as red as a cooked crab, and he said with shame: "Master Hou, don't say anything anymore..."
Now he wishes he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in. It's really embarrassing to be boasted to such an extent by Fang Jun...
Li Chengqian looked at Fang Jun, straightened his crown, helped Liu Rengui up with his own hands, and solemnly said: "Liu Qing, stay flat."
Liu Rengui was so excited that he couldn't help himself. This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Will he personally support a small soldier? Speaking of which, this is a supreme honor!
Fang Jun asked Liu Rengui to sit down, but Liu Rengui shook his head like a rattle and refused firmly. Li Chengqian pressed his shoulders and asked him to sit down. Then he reluctantly sat down and felt uneasy, but he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
To be able to sit at the same table as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...
Lao Liu was in agitated mood.
This cannot be blamed on Liu Rengui for not having seen the world, or for being groveling. In this feudal dynasty, the emperor is a god-like existence, holding the world in his hand and controlling the life and death of millions of people. Who can not be afraid?
That is to say, people like Fang Jun who have traveled through time always keep their thinking in the 21st century, fail to devote themselves wholeheartedly to this era, and lack the necessary respect and fear for the imperial power.
Of course, this is also the reason why His Majesty Li Er looks at Fang Jun differently.
If he is just a yes-man like others, His Majesty Li Er is obviously too lazy to pay attention to him. After all, there are too many ministers like that, not least Fang Jun...
Fang Jun talked a lot about Liu Rengui and asked curiously: "It's such a cold day, why are you wandering around the streets if you don't stay in the military camp? I just saw you carrying luggage, what's going on?"
Liu Rengui said with a bitter smile: "I have resigned from my humble position and become a common man. It's a pity that I am alone without any relatives and no reason. I don't know where to stay for a while. I had wanted to go to the farm to join the Marquis, but I was a bit thin-skinned and could not make up my mind. , but unexpectedly met the Marquis here, and he shamelessly asked the Marquis to take him in. Old Liu didn’t have much ability, but he could still take care of the house..."
"Wait a minute! Resign from the military service? What do you say?" Fang Jun frowned and asked. (End of chapter)
