Chapter 1339 Something big is going to happen!
Changsun Wuji changed into a set of loose casual clothes. He was sitting in the study, holding a tea cup, thinking about possible changes that might occur in the morning of tomorrow, considering various ways to deal with it, and trying to be as foolproof as possible.
Publicly and privately, he wanted Fang Jun to be overthrown immediately and expelled from Chang'an!
Fang Jun acts willfully and wantonly, but he is well versed in the ways of officialdom, winning the favor of His Majesty. Behind him stands Fang Xuanling, who seems to be as gentle as jade and has nothing to do with the world, but is actually cunning and cunning. Once he is allowed to gain a foothold, step by step It is really not impossible to enter the center and worship the prime minister in the future.
What's particularly important is that Fang Jun is close to the prince. If Fang Jun really enters the center early, he will definitely become a serious problem...
The gathering in Dongshi will inevitably shock the government and the public, and Fang Jun cannot escape his responsibility as a Yin of Beijing. Then Liu Jie led a group of censors and officials to impeach him, and it was a foregone conclusion that Fang Jun would be dismissed from his official position in Jing Zhaoyin.
As for whether His Majesty will secretly instigate traders to cause trouble in the East Market because of various clans and clans... Changsun Wuji is not worried at all. It's just a gathering of people to cause trouble, and it will never exceed His Majesty's bottom line. Even if His Majesty is angry, he can only hold his nose and admit it.
Is it possible to start an all-out war with all the aristocratic families involved?
Absolutely impossible.
The way of politics is the way of compromise.
The aristocratic families are compromising, allowing His Majesty to weaken the attack, and only launch counterattacks to a certain extent, not daring to fully resist His Majesty's will. After all, he is the emperor, the Nine-Five Supreme, the Lord of the World. If His Majesty becomes angry and has no scruples, the Emperor with military power will definitely be the one who wins in the end, and the aristocratic family will be completely annihilated.
Of course, the era of great rule since Zhenguan will also be destroyed in one day. The entire empire is in a mess, and all the grand plans and hegemony and eternal prosperity will be evaporated. It would be good if we do not change the dynasty and ruin the Li Tang Dynasty...
< br>
The emperor also kept compromising.
It was His Majesty Li Er's will to attack the family members and rebuild the east and west cities, but he could only acquiesce to the family members to resist within a certain range, rather than enforce it forcefully.
Even if the emperor's military power is certain to achieve final victory, he doesn't want to be left with only a desolate empire...
Changsun Wuji set the emperor's bottom line very accurately.
In mutual compromise, tacit understanding exists. This is the true meaning of politics...
Changsun Wuji thought about it and didn't think there would be any surprises in this matter. Even Fang Xuanling couldn't suppress the public opinion wave in Dongshi. After all, this is the land of Gyeonggi and under the emperor's feet. This is because Dongshi Someone must stand up and take responsibility for the demonstrations caused by the city's renovation. As Jing Zhaoyin, Fang Jun is also the initiator and executor of the city's renovation. How can he shirk his responsibility and stay out of the matter?
Losing his official position is almost certain...
It's just that Fang Jun is currently in the emperor's heart, and Fang Xuanling's power has reached an unprecedented height as his eldest grandson Wuji was ignored by his majesty. If he wants to avenge his eldest son, eldest son, eldest son Chong, he still has to endure it for a while. Day will do.
We even have to wait until His Majesty's funeral and the new Emperor ascends the throne...
I just don’t know if I can survive until that day?
Changsun Wuji was a little depressed, but he also knew that it was impossible to crucify Fang Jun, so he could only endure the current situation.
Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open, and a servant came in quickly, bowed and whispered: "Master, there is a fire in Dongshi and Xuanyangfang. Many shops in Dongshi were smashed. The merchants and common people who participated in the riots are all in trouble." Everyone has been captured by Jingzhao Mansion..."
Changsun Wuji was stunned.
It took him a long time to react, and he asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"
The servant quickly said: "Both Dongshi and Xuanyangfang were on fire, and many shops in Dongshi were smashed and damaged..."
Before he could finish speaking, Changsun Wuji stood up suddenly, walked quickly to the window, and pushed it open.
The dark sky is blooming with red light, as red as clouds, and even the patter of rain in front of the window is painted with a magnificent blush...
Changsun Wuji looked shocked.
Then, he repeatedly ordered: "Quickly send people to Song Guogong Xiao's house, Linghu's house, and the house of Liu Jie, the censor of the book..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "dong dong dong" drum sound on the street, which was the sound of street drums...
Changsun Wuji asked curiously: "Is there already a curfew?"
I looked at the sky and saw that the sky was as dark as ink, but it was raining today and it had been overcast all day. Logically speaking, it was still early for the curfew, right?
The servant was also stunned for a moment and replied: "I'm afraid it's still half an hour until the curfew? Why is it so early today..."
Changsun Wuji was so angry that he turned around and swept the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk to the ground, and cursed: "Fang Jun, you are so shameless!"
There is no need to think about it. The curfew is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion. It must be Fang Jun who has advanced today's curfew time. At this time, there were no strict timekeeping tools. We used the sundial during the day and the moondial at night. However, the moondial can only accurately display the time on a full moon night. Tonight, with dense clouds, no stars, no moon, and light rain, it is simply impossible. Accurate timing.
Jingzhao Mansion said it was Xu time, and at the first update, it was time for the curfew. Who could refute it?
It’s useless to refute...
Obviously, Fang Jun used the curfew to cut off the connections between the family members, so that they could not communicate with each other or discuss countermeasures.
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the curfew began and everyone must return to the neighborhood where they live. The gates of the neighborhood are closed and no one is allowed to go out. Naturally, a minister with the status of Changsun Wuji could go out and walk around, and Marquis Wu who was patrolling the streets did not dare to ask questions, but how could Changsun Wuji go to each house in person to communicate with him?
Fang Jun's move to advance the curfew was indeed too cruel!
The masterminds behind the planning of this East Market rally will not be able to discuss countermeasures with each other tonight, and everything will have to wait until the Yinshi time curfew is lifted tomorrow.
But after this night...
Accidents such as arson and vandalism occurred unexpectedly. After a night of brewing and fermentation, who knows how dangerous things will turn out in the end? The members of the aristocratic family were confined at home by a curfew and were not allowed to go out, but Fang Jun, as Jing Zhaoyin, was completely outside the scope of the curfew!
How many things can Fang Jun do this night?
Changsun Wuji was distraught. His originally foolproof plan was completely derailed due to accidents such as arson and vandalism.
But the curfew has started, and I can only sit back and watch, without any effort...
*****
The rain has weakened a lot compared to the daytime, but the fine and dense rain still does not stop. The Jingzhao Mansion Yamen is brightly lit, with figures and people bustling, and it is as chaotic as a vegetable market...
Fang Jun had just returned to the duty room when a clerk handed him a handkerchief moistened with warm water and wiped his head, face and hands. He sat down and drank a cup of hot tea, sighing comfortably.
Du Chuke sat on a chair nearby, his eyebrows furrowed and he was thinking deeply.
The door opened, and Jingzhao Mansion Young Master Wei Dawu and Cheng Wuting walked in one after the other.
Wei Dawu's face was full of rain and his expression was solemn. He bowed slightly to Fang Jun and asked: "Qi Fu Yin, the traders captured... are too many. Not only can the cells in the Yamen not be accommodated, even if Chang'an and Wannian The cells in both counties are full, and I am afraid that there are still some left. I dare to ask the governor if he should send the rest of the merchants who cannot be accommodated to the punishment department to be temporarily detained."
If thousands of people were arrested at one time, where would there be so many cells? Now the entire Jingzhao Mansion Yamen is in chaos to accommodate these prisoners, and there is no room for them at all.
Fang Jun sat behind the desk, raised his thick eyebrows, and asked curiously: "You have to ask me about this kind of thing? Are you a Shaoyin or a jobber?"
Wei Dawu's face turned red, but he didn't dare to get angry.
Not to mention that Fang Jun's prestige has long made him dare not make mistakes. Among the people who caused trouble in Dongshi this time, there was Jingzhao Wei's hand among them... Wei Dawu actually persuaded his family, But this time, many aristocratic families were united to act. If the Wei family stayed out of the matter, they would be isolated if they turned around, so no one listened to his opinions.
At this moment, being so humiliated by Fang Jun, he could only swallow his anger, his face flushed, and he didn't know what to do.
Fang Jun glanced at him coldly, waved his hand, and said calmly: "These treacherous ministers and thieves set fire and smashed things in an attempt to undermine the stability of the empire. They are all felons! Since there is no room for them in the cell, then don't put them in the cell. They are all trapped with ropes." , I am still on the street.”
Wei Dawu smiled bitterly and said: "Fu Yin, it's raining..."
Fang Jun scolded: "Just make them sober! Provoking national laws, gathering people to cause trouble, setting fires and vandalism, and intending to subvert the empire are capital crimes! Do you really think that I am playing with them?"
He ordered Cheng Wuting to say: "A sudden trial will be held overnight, and the mastermind behind the scenes must be brought to justice. I will go to the court tomorrow morning to admonish Your Majesty. After receiving the imperial decree, I will catch all these rebellious officials and traitors!"
Cheng Wuting responded loudly: "Here!"
Turn around and stride out.
Wei Dawu was left looking embarrassed, sweating profusely, and flustered... Something big was going to happen!
Don’t forget to vote, dear...(o≧▽≦o)
