Chapter 1023 Bad news comes


Chapter 1023 The bad news comes

Being handsome is justice!

Long legs are justice!

What the hell kind of logic is this?

All the officials in the hall were stunned.

Originally, it was surprising that Fang Jun kept talking about "justice". How dare you say that you stand for "justice" when you are such an unruly man and regard the law as nothing? Although he has never bullied men into dominating women and sold out his official position, he has done a few good things for the sake of the people. Even if he claims to represent "justice", it is not a joke, but it is still a bit too arrogant, right?

We have learned the Four Books and Five Classics, and what we pay attention to is the golden mean, low-key!

And what the hell are "handsomeness means justice" and "long legs means justice"?

Of course, all of you here are "non-travelers" and it is impossible to have such a deep understanding of these two sentences. However, no one went into the meaning of it. Instead, they naturally thought that these were Fang Jun's words to tease Linghu Defen. .

Linghu Defen's words were stuck in his throat, his eyes were as wide as a bell, and his whole thoughts were messed up in the wind!

What is this crazy talk about?

Oh, you are more handsome than me. Are you righteous?

Your legs are longer than mine. Are you righteous?

Linghu Defen wanted to shout: I was very handsome back then! When you, a blackhead, reach my age, will you see if you are still as handsome as me?

He didn't understand the profoundness of these words. He was so angry that his nose was filled with smoke. He pointed at Fang Jun's nose with a trembling finger and said angrily: "Nonsense, complete nonsense, simply... simply..."
< br>

The old man was so angry that he couldn't speak.

He actually felt extremely regretful at this moment...

At the meeting that day, I had to hit a pillar and pretend to be fainted to avoid the disgraceful disaster. How could I forget the pain at that time before the scar healed?

Unlike Linghu Defen, who was furious, most of the officials in the hall burst into laughter at this moment, but it was not the kind of roaring laughter, but a slightly suppressed laughter. After all, not everyone has Fang Jun's status and backing, so Hu Defen still has to worry about his face.

No one took Fang Jun's "nonsense" seriously. Everyone just thought it was in line with Fang Jun's style. Since you refuse to reason with me and insist on relying on your old age, then don't blame me for slapping you in the face!

Everyone even thinks that Fang Jun just said that I am handsomer than you and has longer legs than you, which is enough to give Linghu Deben face. If he said "Wait until I drink a libation in front of your soul", it would not make Linghu Deben even more angry. Hit a pillar?

As for the officials of Guanlong group, they are collectively embarrassed...

Linghu Defen can be regarded as a benchmark and representative figure of the Guanlong Group in the court, and his position as Minister of Rites is quite high. In addition, he is extremely active, so he is always regarded as the leader of the Guanlong Group.

At this moment, the leader is being ridiculed and ridiculed. How can these people look good on their faces?

But in the face of Fang Jun's momentum and his brilliant record in the past, no one dared to say anything to help Linghu Defen...

Linghu Defen finally experienced the power of Fang Jun's venomous tongue. He was humiliated several times and could not accept it. In terms of knowledge, he dared to say that he was a few steps ahead of Fang Jun, but when it came to verbal disputes, the two Linghu Defen were no match!

Why couldn't I hold back and insist on provoking this stick?

Linghu Defen regretted it endlessly and was in a dilemma.

If the argument continues, who knows if this guy will say something even more unpleasant? If it stops, it will give people the feeling of being afraid of Fang Jun. In a dilemma, Linghu Defen couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply flicked his sleeves and turned away with a dark face.

I can’t afford to offend you, but I can’t afford to hide?

As soon as he reached the door, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall.

A scribe, sweating profusely, ran in from outside the hall. He was so panicked that he almost bumped into Linghu Defen.

Linghu Defen held back his anger and thought to himself, you are all bullying me for being old, right?

He said angrily: "What kind of panic is this? This is the political hall, not a brothel where you sleep in flowers and sleep in willows, drink and have fun!"

The clerk was startled, and quickly bowed to apologize, panting and saying: "Forgive me, Lord Linghu, but I really have an urgent military situation that I want to inform all the ministers and ministers!"

Someone with keen eyes saw the red feather emergency report in his hand and quickly asked: "But where is the emergency military situation?"

They are all mid-level and high-level officials in the imperial officialdom. There is no need to conceal military information at this level. The clerk said sadly: "Exactly, Yanqi, Qiuci and other countries rebelled. They first detained our envoys from the Tang Dynasty, and then sent troops to cooperate with the Turks. Yizhou. Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Anxi, led The army counterattacked, but they fell into the enemy's plan to lure the enemy deeper into Yancheng, the capital of Qiuci. Half of the more than ten thousand Tang troops fled, and most of the tens of thousands of allied troops from various tribes were killed or injured. Guo Xiaoke was seriously injured in nine places. In order to cover His Majesty's retreat, he fought hard Death!”

"Hiss!"

Suddenly there was a sound of inhalation in the hall.

Yanqi and Qiuci rebelled?

Guo Xiaoke died in battle?

Damn it!

Wasn’t the entire Western Region lost?

Linghu Defen stood at the door, staring angrily, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Guo Xiaoke deserves to die. He fell into a treacherous plot by mistake and killed thousands of my sons. He deserves to die!"

All the officials were silent for a while.

It is true that as a commander-in-chief, Guo Xiaoke fell into the enemy's trap and was defeated, which not only cost the lives of thousands of Tang Dynasty tigers, but also made the imperial court's Western Region policy a complete failure, which is an unforgivable crime. However, Chinese people all value "life is important", so why should Guo Xiaoke be condemned and beaten mercilessly when Guo Xiaoke even lost his life?

Fang Jun snorted and said calmly: "Knowing shame and then being brave. Guo Xiaoke is certainly guilty, but he used his own life and blood to wash away his shame. Why should we, those in high positions in the court, ridicule and condemn such people who sacrificed their lives for the country?" The heroic spirit? ”

Linghu Defen was so angry that his lips trembled...

You bastard got into trouble with me today, right?

He wanted to say something to scold him, but thinking about the blow he had just suffered, he decisively shut up, rolled up his sleeves and left.

No one paid attention to him, and they all asked the scribe about the war situation in the Western Region.

How did the scribe know there were so many? After dealing with it for a while, he hurriedly entered the inner hall and reported to several prime ministers and assistants.

Zhang Xingcheng sighed: "Oh! If this happens, wouldn't the situation in the Western Regions be extremely corrupt? What a pity!"

If the Western Region is stable, Guanzhong will be stable.

Although the Western Region is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, once there is any disturbance in it, Guanzhong will be affected. After all, from the Western Region to Yumen Pass, the desert is a thousand miles away, and a powerful cavalry is enough to reach Yumen Pass quickly. And once Yumen Pass is lost, they can invade the middle of the pass overnight and threaten Chang'an!

Therefore, as long as a dynasty with Chang'an as its capital must never ignore the stability of the Western Regions!

This was true in the Han Dynasty, and even more so in the Tang Dynasty!

As the clerk walked in, an exclamation suddenly sounded in the inner hall, and it was unknown which prime minister made it. However, this is obviously understandable. The serious consequences of the great changes in the situation in the Western Regions are really too great. Who would have thought that the hearts of the countries in the Western Regions, which had been gradually gathering together, would have such a big change in such a short period of time?

Fang Jun also shook his head and sighed.

To praise Guo Xiaoke's fierceness is the emotion of a man from the Tang Dynasty. But in fact, Guo Xiaoke has no political savvy at all. If he hadn't been so short-sighted that he was so greedy for the profits of Fangjia Winery that he even abolished the wool workshop, how could he have caused the countries in the Western Regions to become alienated and give the Turks an opportunity? If he hadn't been greedy for power, rashly underestimated the enemy, and arrogant, how could he have suffered such a catastrophe?

Character determines success or failure, don’t be fooled if you are honest!

*****

Several prime ministers and assistants hastily handled the matters that the officials had reported on their duties before. They simply went through the procedures and announced the end. Then they walked straight to the Tai Chi Palace with solemn expressions and hurried steps.

When His Majesty Li Er heard the bad news, he was naturally furious!

He yelled: "Guo Xiaoke mistook me!"

He smashed the teacup in front of him violently. The crystal-clear white porcelain teacup shattered on the hard floor tiles, and the fragments spattered.

How could he not be angry?

Seeing that the stable situation in the Western Region is excellent, the imperial court can go all out to conquer Goguryeo and achieve its grand ambition of becoming an emperor throughout the ages! But who would have thought that Guo Xiaoke, who had only been in the Western Regions for a few days, would actually make people angry and complain about the rebellion of various countries, and lose troops and lose generals?

His Majesty Li Er glared at Changsun Wuji: "A good candidate you recommended!"

Before the rise of the imperial examination, the appointment and removal of officials were mostly based on recommendation. As a recommender, the performance of the recommender will be linked to his political achievements. To put it simply, if Guo Xiaoke performed perfectly, why would Changsun Wuji have a credit in his credit book? On the contrary, Changsun Wuji would also be jointly and severally liable.

Once the recommendation is over, everything will be fine?

Beautiful thought!

Changsun Wuji was also full of bitterness. Guo Xiaoke was a famous general. Who could have expected that once he arrived in the Western Regions, he would be like a horse and let go of Nanshan, no longer under control, so that led to these things happening?

"Your Majesty, I am aware of my guilt and dare not shirk my responsibility. But now we must come up with a charter as soon as possible. How to deal with the changes in the Western Regions?"

His Majesty Li Er snorted angrily: "How to deal with it? Of course, blood debt must be paid with blood!" (End of Chapter)
