Chapter 874 The emperor’s trick [asking for votes with 10,000 words]
"Your Majesty, Fang Jun secretly mobilized troops to break into Suzhou City. This is a serious crime!"
"Your Majesty, the national law is ruthless, how can you abolish public service for private reasons?"
"Fang Jun must be severely punished!"
……
For a time, the crowd in the court was furious, and everyone was shouting to be beaten.
His Majesty Li Er puffed up his breath and glanced downwards. When he saw the old god Changsun Wuji hanging his head without saying a word, while the old man Fang Xuanling was sick and recuperating, he suddenly became very angry.
After something big happened with your son, you patted your butt and went home to hide in peace while you asked me to wipe your son's butt?
He wanted to excuse Fang Jun, but how could he excuse such a thing?
"The laws of the Tang Dynasty are strict and cannot be blasphemed. Whether Fang Jun is guilty or not is not something you can just open your mouth and say. In this way, the imperial court issued an edict, ordering Fang Jun to return to Beijing immediately and go to Dali Temple for questioning. If he really pleads guilty, , then Dali Temple will convict you again!”
In desperation, His Majesty Li Er used the most tried-and-tested magic weapon in officialdom - the dragging technique!
If Fang Jun was smart, he should have found a place to hide now, right?
If you are still stupidly staying in Huating Town, then you can blame me for not protecting you...
Everyone was arguing for a long time, and they were shocked to find that His Majesty Li Er was acting rogue, and they were all very angry. This favoritism is too obvious and too much! But His Majesty Li Er's words cannot be refuted. They all said that Fang Jun was at fault, but who knew what was going on at that time? Did the Gu family really risk their lives to break out of the encirclement, so they had to take a fatal blow? Are there some temporary emergencies that are not well known?
Therefore, Fang Jun's incident has a great impact, but it also leaves no room for manipulation.
His Majesty Li Er's method is to treat it coldly. If it is delayed for a period of time, it will definitely fade away. These aristocratic families want to punish Fang Jun severely because of the death of the rabbit and Hu Bei. They have no direct conflict of interest with each other. Who will work tirelessly to protect the Gu family?
Seeing that the court situation was about to break up, Changsun Wuji stood up.
"Since your Majesty has recalled Fang Jun to Chang'an, regardless of whether he is guilty or not, there must be someone to take charge of the overall situation during the period when he leaves Huating Town. Please also designate a minister to take over the Shibo Department and other matters. Otherwise, the good situation may be in vain.”
Ma Zhou, who was standing aside silently, raised his eyes and glanced at Changsun Wuji, then lowered his head calmly.
This is the real ruthless man, he pinched Fang Jun's seven inches as soon as he made a move!
I'm afraid that His Majesty will issue an edict to recall Fang Jun. Is this also part of Zhao Guogong's plan? He remained calm all the time, letting others make noises, but at the most critical moment he made the final decision...
Everyone knows that Huating Town is extremely rich now, who wouldn’t want to pounce on it and take a bite?
As long as Changsun Wuji proposes this motion, countless envious people will follow and take the initiative to fight for him...
Ma Zhou sighed secretly, he was still much more tender. When it comes to his ability to handle government affairs, he thinks he is no worse than anyone else, but when it comes to his ability to read people's hearts and listen to thunder in silent places, he is really far behind.
Perhaps, only Fang Xuanling, who has always been non-competitive, can be on par with them...
Things were just as Ma Zhou thought, and the court became noisy again.
If the clamor for severe punishment of Fang Jun just now was just to prepare for the potential crisis of the family, now there are huge interests at stake, and everyone is going into battle shirtless, scrambling to be the first!
Huating Town is Fang Jun's fiefdom. For the time being, His Majesty has no intention of severely punishing Fang Jun. Even if he is punished, it will not hurt his roots. You can’t eat this big piece of meat in Huating Town, but there is still a Shibo Division!
Everyone knows that most of the Jiangnan nobles and merchants have now sided with Fang Jun. As long as the Shibo Division starts operating, it will be a huge cornucopia! Thinking about the huge profits from sea trade, as long as half of the Jiangnan nobles and merchants transfer their goods to the shipping department, what huge profits will there be?
It is true that the taxes paid by the nobles and merchants will eventually enter the national treasury, but so much money flows through the hands, even if they just touch it, they will be fat!
The ministers in the court each insisted on their own opinions, praising their favorite candidates to the extreme, and slandering the candidates proposed by others...
There was a stalemate for a while.
His Majesty Li Er was not worried, and just sat there leisurely, with his eyes half open and half closed. He didn't know whether he was taking a nap or thinking about something.
The ministers quarreled for a while, and suddenly felt that something was not right in the atmosphere. Looking up, His Majesty the Emperor was leisurely and leisurely, as if the matter had nothing to do with him and was aloof from other things. The ministers were a little embarrassed, knowing that their eating appearance was a bit ugly, and they lost points in front of His Majesty. But then again, this is a huge fat gap. Who can watch it fall into other people's pockets? If you let this errand slip away from your eyes, you won't be able to explain it to the whole family after you go back, even if you don't say whether you feel bad or not...
The hall became quiet, and His Majesty Li Er opened his eyelids and asked, "Are you done with the quarrel?"
No one spoke, they all bowed their heads in embarrassment and remained silent.
His Majesty Li Er said calmly: "Then let me wait for you to debate and choose someone, and then I will make the decision. How about that? Just quit the court!"
After saying that, he stood up from the throne with a cold face, flicked his sleeves, and strode away.
The ministers in the main hall looked at each other and expressed their regrets.
Your Majesty actually did this again - dragging!
If this matter is dragged on and on, it might go wrong. Who knows what Fang Jun will do after he is recalled to the capital? There is no need to think about beheading, His Majesty is reluctant to bear it, and it is impossible to remove the title. Fang Xuanling and Princess Gaoyang still have to give face.
Then will there be any changes in the position of Canghaidao Marching Chief?
Everyone suddenly remembered that there was a deputy general manager waiting for him in Huating Town. If Fang Jun is deprived of his position as general manager, the possibility of the deputy general manager directly reinforcing him is very high. After all, Zhang Liang is first-class in terms of reputation, qualifications and ability. If he becomes the general manager, he can convince the public. .
Oops, what a mistake!
This Zhang Liang is so weird. Even if he is sure that something will happen to Fang Jun, he will not come back even if he is humiliated by Fang Jun in Huating Town and loses his face to his grandma's house.
*****
The night was vast, and the heavy rain that swept across Jiangdong finally stopped pattering, but the sky was filled with dark clouds, without stars or moon.
Several warships were floating outside the wharf of Huating Town and had been parked for many days.
A dim yellow oil lamp lit up in the cabin, and a faint halo shone through the portholes on the dark river surface. The water sparkled and the golden light shone.
In the cabin, Zhang Liang held a wine glass with a contented look on his face and asked a Taoist priest in front of him: "Have you arranged for someone to deliver the letter?"
The Taoist priest was about fifty years old and short in stature. He stood there with his hands above his knees. His face was weathered but he was energetic. He respectfully replied: "We have arranged for the trusted followers to be sent out. The poor Taoist has already told me that no matter what happens on the road, Don’t bother with it, just send this letter to Duke Zhao’s house as quickly as possible.”
Zhang Liang nodded with a smile and greeted him affectionately: "Come on, come on, let's have a few drinks with me. I've told you so many times that when no one is around in private, you just need to relax a little and speak more casually. My handsome Not a harsh person.”
"Haha, let's have a drink?"
The Taoist priest was not humble and sat down with a smile. Seeing that Zhang Liang's wine cup was still full, he poured himself a glass, raised it and said: "This glass is police officer... Oh no, the chief manager will be here soon." Well, congratulations to the General Manager on his rise to the top and shining in the history books, for working hard for the Tang Dynasty and Your Majesty, and for making new achievements!”
"Hey! How can you say this nonsense? It's nonsense. Be more steady, be more steady." He said so modestly, but Zhang Liang's face was clearly full of pride and arrogance. Where is the slightest bit of low-key and steady?
He feels so beautiful now that he almost wants to sing loudly!
I just couldn't imagine that Fang Jun was probably used to being arrogant and acting more and more carelessly, so he could do such extremely stupid things!
Don't you know that if you destroy a Gu family, you will become an enemy of all the aristocratic families in the world? The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad. Your Majesty has clearly been suppressing the influence of the noble families in the past few years. You are so cruel again. I am afraid that the noble families are about to explode now!
Fang Jun, do you have this day too?
To be honest, there are not many conscientious authors like brothers. Frail little hearts need encouragement, support, and lifting... No, it’s a vote o((≧▽≦o)!
