Chapter 998 This is a collision of times
How can a person who can sit in the political hall be so simple?
To fight your way out of thousands of officials and reach the pinnacle of being a minister, if you don’t have excellent strategies and contingency plans, you can’t even think about it. You will have become a scumbag and be stepped on by others as a ladder for promotion!
Cen Wenwen had just joined forces with Fang Xuanling to suppress Changsun Wuji, but in the blink of an eye, he used words to push Fang Xuanling aside. Your son is Jingzhao Yin. Now that we are talking about the personnel transfer in Jingzhao Mansion, do you want to avoid suspicion and stop getting involved?
Fang Xuanling glanced at Cen Wenwen, his eyes expressionless.
Cen Wenwen knew that this was Fang Xuanling's concession.
In fact, Fang Xuanling really shouldn't get involved here. Fang Jun's appointment as Jing Zhaoyin is equivalent to His Majesty Li Er single-handedly tearing apart the close relationship with the Guanlong Group, although the two sides will not turn against each other. , but it is doomed to start an invisible fight around the Jingzhao Mansion for the benefit of each other...
To put it bluntly, this is a contest between the emperor and the Guanlong Group. Fang Jun is the knife in the emperor's hand, but the knife must still be in the emperor's hand after all. What kind of place is Jingzhao Mansion? It is the important place in the capital, the heart of the empire, and the place where the Taiji Palace is located. No official can even think of controlling it with one hand.
If Jingzhao Mansion is full of Fang Jun's people, then Fang Jun's end is probably not far away.
This is not a question of who the emperor trusts or not, but a matter of the most fundamental principle. Just like the court situation, the emperor can allow two or even multiple forces to attack and annihilate, but he will never allow any one to dominate.
Only by restricting each other can we achieve balance, which is the principle of the world.
The emperor wanted to seize the imperial power and strengthen the central strength, but he could not kill the Guanlong Group with one blow. After all, the emperor himself is a member of the Guanlong Group. The Guanlong Group has always been his foundation. He can suppress it and conquer it, but he can never uproot it.
That is a self-destructive act of stupidity...
The Guanlong Group, the Jiangnan nobles, and the imperial power, the ancients did not know the law of "the triangle is the most stable", but they understood the truth and used it skillfully. When it comes to playing politics, our ancestors can indeed outstrip those barbarians in the West by dozens of streets.
It's a pity that the weasels give birth to cubs, and their offspring are not as good as theirs...
It was the wisest choice for Fang Xuanling to stay away from the incident.
Of course, we can't ignore it completely. Half of the confidants will always have to be installed. Otherwise, if the entire yamen is an outsider, how can the work be carried out?
Since it is a balance, Fang Jun cannot be weakened...
Fang Xuanling had a very good grasp of the mysteries involved, so he had always been indifferent to Cen Wenwen and Changsun Wuji's discussions about where to transfer whom, and what positions they would take after being transferred to Jingzhao Mansion. It was only when it came to selecting Si Lu to join the army, when Changsun Wuji proposed a son of Hou Mo and the Chen family, that Fang Xuanling spoke out against it.
"Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Mingzhou, has been in Mingzhou for ten years. He has purged officials and built water conservancy projects, which has transformed Mingzhou from a land of poverty to a land of plenty. It can be said that he has both ability and political integrity and is worthy of a big task. His son Cheng Wuting is a young hero and a smart man. When serving, he can serve as a director and join the army. ”
As early as when they were discussing with their son at home how to target the personnel of Jingzhao Mansion, the father and son had already reached a consensus - they could do whatever they wanted, as long as they had the military power in their hands.
Si Lu joins the army and is in charge of the army of a government. This is an extremely important position.
What are the most important powers of local agencies?
It is nothing more than military power, financial power, and personnel power.
The military power here refers to the violent organs of local agencies, responsible for criminal investigations and stabilizing public order.
Fang Jun doesn't care about financial power or personnel power. As long as he firmly holds military power in his hands, no one can make trouble! Anyone dissatisfied? Someone is causing trouble? It doesn't matter, get some dirty information behind my back and arrest me!
This is the most rogue trick, but you have to admit that, especially in a society like the Tang Dynasty with a relatively imperfect legal system, this trick is extremely easy to use...
Cen Wenwen immediately expressed his position: "I have also heard about my second son. During his tenure as a garrison at Tongguan, he was law-abiding and honest. He was highly praised by the troops and praised by the common people and merchants. Such a young and talented man should be given the opportunity to display his talents."
It was impossible for him not to unite with Fang Xuanling.
Compared to Changsun Wuji, who is full of intrigues and intrigues, who would not want to have a good relationship with Fang Xuanling?
Fang Xuanling had almost no interests to express, and the only candidate proposed was that Si Lu join the army. Cen Wenwen had no reason not to support it. Although everyone is happy to "share the spoils" with Changsun Wuji now, who knows which appointment will lead to a stalemate and no concessions?
Fang Xuanling's attitude will be very important at that time.
The minority obeys the majority. As long as Fang Xuanling supports him, it will be two to one immediately...
Changsun Wuji was a little unhappy. How could he not know the importance of Si Lu joining the army?
But just as Cen Wenwen thought, rejecting Fang Xuanling's proposal will most likely push Fang Xuanling to Cen Wenwen's side again. Now Fang Xuanling's neutral attitude will benefit him a lot. Once When Fang Xuanling got angry, he objected regardless of what his eldest son Wuji proposed, which would be troublesome.
What's more, Cen Wenwen immediately agreed to Fang Xuanling's suggestion. In fact, even if Changsun Wuji objected, it would be ineffective...
Changsun Wuji became increasingly depressed and had no choice but to nod.
The desire to persuade His Majesty Li Er to increase the number of seats in the political hall became more and more urgent in his heart. He could not do it without adding more people. He had been completely isolated...
*****
In order to prevent Fang Jun from taking office as Jing Zhaoyin, the Guanlong Group caused a disturbance in the court, which was like a farce. However, in the subsequent process of dividing this "huge cake" through the deployment of officials, who were also very important, the balance seemed to be somewhat uneventful due to the compromises and balances of all parties.
Of course, the so-called "compromise" is to gather stronger forces to launch a new round of struggle. In the foreseeable near future, Jingzhao Mansion, as the heart of the Tang Empire, will surely affect the situation of the entire empire and become the center of everyone's attention...
Fang Jun is looking forward to this.
For him, and for Datang, this was an epoch-making war!
This is a war between central power and traditional clan forces!
His Majesty Li Er is bent on concentrating all imperial power into the center, but how can the Guanlong Group be willing to give up the power and interests it holds?
In this war, there are no enemies of life and death, no charges, no flash of swords, but the fight is still bare-chested and dangerous! This is a battle of ideas. It is the embers of the old Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System that want to be rekindled in the beautiful Tang Dynasty and once again glow with the glory of their ancestors; it is the new imperial ruling class that uses thunderous courage to smash all the shackles, and is determined to Enterprising and dominate the world!
After returning to the Lishan Farm after the court, Fang Jun felt relaxed and had a few snacks. He got up a little early and was a little tired. After asking the maid, he learned that Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang were at the hot spring courtyard. Wu Shunniang was more fortunate. I also came to visit Wu Meiniang in the morning. Princess Jinyang and Princess Hengshan were both there, as well as Princess Changle and Prince Jin Li Zhi.
Thinking of Princess Changle's flawless pretty face and tall figure, Fang Jun's heart felt hot.
Everyone is looking forward to good food. In the same way, every man is also full of desire for a woman who meets his own aesthetic standards. It's just that some people can't control the devil in their hearts, so they will do stupid things that hurt others and themselves as well, while some people can control their desires rationally.
Everyone has endless desires in their hearts. People always want more, get better, and even occupy some beautiful things. This is human nature and is understandable.
The only difference is that most people are able to be bound by secular ethics and inner conscience, and can control their ambitions. And some people will be blinded by desire and do evil things that harm others, themselves, and even the world...
As a time traveler, Fang Jun has much stronger resources and abilities than most people in this world, but because of this, he deeply understands the truth that "the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the harm." .
He is very arrogant and very "sticky", but no matter in his past life or in this life, he is always a kind person.
He won't hurt anyone for selfish reasons.
In his outlook on life, beautiful things need to be maintained with all one's strength, so that the world will be better.
With something on his mind, he strolled to the hot spring courtyard next to the farm.
Several princesses and princes were there, and it was not convenient for me to do some "shy" things in the hot spring. So I didn't go to find everyone first, but turned a corner in front of the rain corridor and went to a room on the left. The hot spring is located in a relatively remote location. I plan to take a dip in it and sleep for a while, and then go to the main hall over the glass house to find them.
The two maids followed behind, and Fang Jun casually pushed open the door of Tangchi.
A scream rang in his ears and almost pierced his eardrums, and then Fang Jun felt his eyes blur.
It's snowy.
Two touches of tender red.
Then a palm like white jade carried a wisp of fragrant wind and struck Fang Jun hard on the face.
"Pa"——
Today, my wife took me to buy clothes with her. I was so tired that my feet were weak, and I almost fell to my knees... So you know, I will try my best to update the 10,000-word update tomorrow, and work hard (_)
