Chapter 1396 There is a conspiracy
Facing Changsun Wuji's excuse, His Majesty Li Er smiled inwardly and turned to Kong Yingda and asked: "What do you think, sir?"
Kong Yingda raised her white eyebrows, glanced at Changsun Wuji, and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Zhao's concerns are not entirely unfounded, but they don't need to be unfounded. As Liu Shangshu said, the orthodoxy of Confucianism has long been entrenched. How can it be shaken? Easy? What's more, even if the college teaches miscellaneous studies, the great Confucians from all walks of life still hold the position of teaching, and the leadership is still in the hands of Confucians."
The old man has been in the court all his life, how can he not see clearly the faces of Changsun Wuji and others?
It's nothing more than a fight for power.
Therefore, he was ambiguous, avoided the important, and did not get into any more entanglements in this power struggle. As long as the college was established, there would be achievements that would be remembered for generations. Who could take such huge achievements alone?
In this case, it doesn't matter if Changsun Wuji and others want to intervene, unless they see Fang Xuanling, an old fox, saying nothing...
Fang Jun glanced at Kong Yingda, blinked, and understood.
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he also closed his mouth.
Although the two parties did not express their opinions, they both understood what the other party meant and had initially reached a tacit understanding on the sharing of interests. The next step was to start a battle for the interests involved in the college. However, with the premise of mutual concession at this moment, this battle process will definitely not be too fierce, but a relatively gentle compromise with the purpose of seeking common ground while reserving differences and sharing interests.
It can be considered a happy ending for everyone...
His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, very satisfied.
He could see how the talents produced by the college's teaching of miscellaneous subjects would benefit the empire, but before that, the stability of the empire must be maintained. If this caused the two factions in the DPRK and China to fight and cause turmoil in the country, then he would have to reluctantly give up the expansion of the academy.
Everything must make way for the Eastern Expedition. His Majesty Li Er will cut off anything that can affect the Eastern Expedition without hesitation.
His Majesty Li Er was delighted, caressed his beard and said with a smile: "All of you, dear ministers, are wise men. Since you all believe that the expansion of the college's teaching of miscellaneous studies is beneficial to the country and the people, then let's make a decision. The regulations of the college are the same as those of the Imperial College. , work together to train for the empire To cultivate talents. I personally serve as the chief priest of the college. Fang Jun has been responsible for the preparation of the college. He will be appointed as the principal. As for the remaining teachers involved in the college, it will be determined by the political affairs hall meeting. "< br>
After the tone was set, the emperor did not want to interfere too much in the rest of the matter. Whoever could gain the benefits would have to rely on their own abilities. There is only one bottom line for His Majesty Li Er, and that is that the position of Dean must be filled by Fang Jun. Without Fang Jun to control the direction, who knows whether the academy will deviate from its original intention and become a cradle for cultivating cronies for all parties?
In that case, it would become another Imperial College. Is it still necessary to exist?
"Your Majesty is wise, and I will definitely live up to your Majesty's high expectations, do everything possible to run the academy, and work hard and dedicated for the prosperity of the empire and the welfare of all people."
All the ministers expressed their opinions together, and they seemed to be sincere and united without any barriers.
His Majesty Li Er doesn't care whether these ministers will turn around and fight with blood. If there are interests, there will naturally be fights. This is also a necessary means to maintain the stability of the court. As long as there is a fight, the emperor needs to be in the middle as a referee, so that the emperor's majesty can be reflected to the maximum extent. If all the ministers are united and do not fight for each other, then he, the emperor, will have trouble sleeping and eating, lest these guys see that he is not happy as the emperor, they will dethrone him and establish a new king...
Changsun Wuji looked at each other with Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu, feeling satisfied.
The emperor personally served as the chief minister, which showed that he attached great importance to this college. The higher the status of the college, the greater the benefits it could gain. As for Fang Jun taking up the post of Chancellor, no one has any reason to object. After all, everything from the preparation of the martial arts hall to the expansion of the college is handled by Fang Jun. If anyone wants to push Fang Jun out of the car at this time... Really Is Fang Xuanling a vegetarian?
Fang Xuanling has been silent and silent all the time, which is to say that he will give up part of the interests of the college. If anyone is not satisfied and wants to snatch away the fat that Fang Jun eats in his mouth, over there is Deng. From nose to face, Fang Xuanling no longer takes him seriously.
Looking at the Tang Dynasty, even the emperor could not treat Fang Xuanling as nothing...
"Dividing the spoils" is also a technical job, involving secret wrestling, involving each other, and making false claims in the east... It is conceivable that without the emperor's participation and acquiescence, an invisible war will begin around the interests of the academy.
However, Fang Jun was slightly surprised when he saw Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and others all smiling and looking determined.
Is it possible that this person has some means to control himself and force himself to give in and compromise in this battle of interests, giving up most of his interests?
*****
Princess Changle withdrew from the banquet, leaving the Xianyu family in embarrassment.
His Highness Changle, who had always been generous, virtuous and virtuous, was really angry this time. Even though Xian Yu had given his mother incomparable care and attention, he could not treat her reputation like nothing and trample on it wantonly.
Moreover, she had a vague feeling that those words that Xianyu said in public during the Fang family's wedding banquet were definitely not just said casually on a whim. The profound meaning contained in them would make her spine shiver even if she thought about it for a moment.
Therefore, after quitting the banquet, she did not return to the palace immediately. Instead, she went directly to Princess Gaoyang's bedroom in the back house and waited for Princess Gaoyang to come back to discuss countermeasures.
Not long after, the previous banquet ended unhappily due to Xianyu's angry outburst. Princess Gaoyang returned to the bedroom with the help of her maid.
She was the host today, and a group of sisters came to congratulate her, so naturally they had to drink a few drinks with her. Even if it is the fruit wine produced by Xinfeng Winery, Princess Gaoyang, who has always been a light drinker, has pink cheeks, dizzy eyes, tainted with the smell of alcohol, and is a little tipsy.
He waved his hand to repel the maid, and pushed away the two little princesses Jinyang and Hengshan. Princess Gaoyang sat next to Princess Changle, her delicate body leaned softly on Princess Changle's arm, her beautiful eyes were wide open, and she looked at Changle intently. The princess's stunningly beautiful profile.
Princess Changle did not realize that Princess Gaoyang was strange, and said slightly nervously: "I think there is something wrong with this matter. A few days ago, Xianyu came to the palace and mentioned to his father that the Qiu family wanted to marry me. Although my father was in the way, Yu Yanmian never refused outright, but he also stated that this matter requires my consent. You know, my father, I have always looked down on Qiu Xinggong. The man who cannibalizes people's hearts and livers is called a devil and is simply not a normal person... But today, Xianyu family openly mentioned this matter in front of all the sisters. Linchuan even said that I Those rumors with Fang Jun... seem to be more than just coincidence."
Once it became known that he had rejected Qiu Shenji's marriage proposal because of his affair with Fang Jun, it would only be more solidified for those original rumors.
In this way, although her virtue as a woman was lacking and her innocence could not be guaranteed, any attempt to marry in the future would inevitably lead to criticism, so she had no choice but to devote herself to Qiu Shenji. How could the father be happy? With his father's temperament, even if he and Fang Jun were really innocent, he would definitely be angry with him.
It is naturally impossible to be beheaded and dismissed from office, but if the father is unhappy, the punishment is certain.
The most likely punishment... is to expel Fang Jun from the capital and order Fang Jun to serve as a local official.
Princess Changle knew that both the renovation of the east and west cities and the recent expansion of the martial arts hall, which was discussed a lot by the government and the public, had cost Fang Jun countless efforts and were the cornerstone of Fang Jun's political qualifications. She would never give up. If you give up, others will pick the peach for nothing.
One party is furious, the other is unwilling to let go, and the final outcome...
It must be that the emperor and his ministers are jealous, Fang Jun is suppressed, and the holy family is not around.
Thinking of this, Princess Changle felt more and more that this was the truth of the matter, and secretly gritted her teeth with hatred. Those noble families really did everything they could. In order to suppress Fang Jun, they actually wanted to taint their own innocence...
It's really abominable!
Princess Changle's beautiful eyebrows were raised, her pretty face was filled with anger, and she was so angry that she wanted to express some complaints. Suddenly she lowered her head and saw Princess Gaoyang leaning on her arm, her petite body leaning towards her, looking at her with misty eyes Keep yourself...
I was suddenly surprised and asked: "Why are you staring at me? I'm talking to you, are you listening?"
Princess Gao Yang didn't answer. She let go of Princess Changle's arm with her slender hands, went around her back and hugged her slender waist. Her lips were slightly opened, and she breathed softly on Princess Changle's jade-like earlobe, and asked in a soft tone. : "Good sister, has Erlang ever hugged you like this?"
Princess Changle's ears were itchy due to her, and she wanted to push her away, but she was startled by these words. Her face turned red and she said coquettishly: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's just rumors from outside, you silly girl Why do you believe everything?”
He spoke simply, but felt weak in his heart.
The misty hot spring pool in Lishan Farm and the ravine covered with rotten leaves in Zhongnan Mountain suddenly came to Princess Changle's mind.
More than hugging?
Even if I touch it, I have touched it...(End of Chapter)
