Chapter 1402 Confusion
Is he innocent and kind, or is he deep and resourceful?
Changsun Wuji frowned, feeling a chill in his heart. He really couldn't figure out the details of the young and tender-faced Prince Jin in front of him...
Then, he laughed in his heart.
I really have wasted my life. Over the years, I have gone through many twists and turns to get to where I am today. What kind of evildoer have I not seen? Even if the Jin King in front of him is naturally intelligent and sinister, and he knows how to hide his true temperament behind a mask of kindness, so what?
In the final analysis, it is just a chess piece in his hand.
As long as I can help him aspire to the throne and become the lord of the Tang Dynasty, the Guanlong Group headed by himself will surely gain countless benefits and once again become the most powerful interest group in the Tang Dynasty, even the emperor will rely on it!
A kind smile appeared on Changsun Wuji's round face, and he nodded slightly and said: "Your Highness expresses gratitude for family ties out of a pure heart, and I am extremely relieved. However, whether the incident between Fang Jun and Chang Le is true or not, it has damaged the reputation of the royal family, and His Highness's death As a prince, how can you sit back and do nothing? ? The family and the country still have to distinguish who comes first and who is more important. Besides, the old minister is not asking you to go to His Majesty to excommunicate Fang Jun, but to speak for Fang Jun. Doesn’t it just match His Highness’s benevolent temperament?”
The corner of Jin Wang Li Zhi's mouth twitched, and he complained wildly in his heart: Are you lying? !
If the current situation develops, Fang Jun will not necessarily be dismissed from the capital by his father. Although it has indeed damaged the reputation of the royal family, it is just a rumor after all. Could it be worse than Aunt Fangling's affair with his niece-in-law? sharp? Fang Jun himself has made countless contributions, and Fang Xuanling's kindness is there. No matter how angry his father is, he has to weigh the pros and cons to avoid hurting the hero's heart.
But once the words that Changsun Wuji had just taught him were spoken in front of his father...
How is that different from the slanderous words inciting the father to denounce Fang Jun?
I really think this king is a fool!
However, as brother-in-law Fang Jun said, it is difficult to pretend to be smart, and even harder to pretend to be confused. Since you want to treat me as a fool, then naturally do whatever you like...
*****
The light rain continued for several days before it finally cleared up. When the dark clouds dispersed and the sun shone brightly, the city was suddenly green.
The trees along the street have been washed clean by the rain, and even the streets paved with bluestones have been washed spotless. The air is filled with a moist and fresh smell, which makes people feel comfortable.
Spring is bright and beautiful.
Most of the foreign guests who came to the Fang family for a banquet and congratulations stayed for a day before leaving. Naturally, there were also several women from the Fan Yang Lu family who stayed in the house. These were all relatives of the Lu family's sisters. Playing together, now that the married women are far away from each other, they finally took this opportunity to get together. In a few more years, as I get older and my body begins to weaken, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to travel such long distances, and we will probably never see each other again in this life. Therefore, I cherish it very much. Because of the rain, I stayed in the back house all day and recalled my childhood. Time is both warm and a little sad.
When the weather cleared up today, Mr. Lu took these relatives out of the house and took a car to visit the scenic spots in Chang'an to show their friendship as a landlord.
Fang Yizhi will naturally entertain the clan brothers who come from his hometown, so Fang Jun doesn't need to worry about them.
After Fang Jun and Fang Xuanling discussed it that night, they thought that this time, His Majesty Li Er would probably be angered and demoted from the capital. Although it was somewhat unjust, how could there be any reason for the Tianjia matter? The only reason is that the aristocratic family's counterattack this time was too fierce, and they even did not hesitate to bring Princess Changle in... No matter how unhappy they were, they had to pinch their noses and admit defeat, and the chance of becoming the prime minister in the future was covered. A layer of haze.
The road to becoming a prime minister requires not only outstanding abilities, but also a clean resume. If Fang Jun is demoted from the capital, it will inevitably leave flaws if he wants to join the cabinet again, unless Prince Li Chengqian takes over the throne and appoints Fang Jun to the cabinet.
However, since Fang Jun can be demoted from the capital, it is obviously because His Majesty Li Er has the desire to be a prince again. How long Li Chengqian can hold the position of crown prince can only be left to fate...
This situation of being unable to fight back made Fang Jun extremely depressed.
In particular, His Majesty Li Er's erratic attitude towards the position of prince made Fang Jun feel speechless.
After all, he is also a wise king. Where has the tyrannical spirit that usually kills and decisively gone?
Even if he really despises the prince Li Chengqian, if he wants to be transferred easily, he should cut the knot quickly. Otherwise, hesitation will only destabilize the court. The ministers of civil and military affairs don't know where to go, so they naturally want to make profits from it, and there are many conspiracy and intrigues, both overt and covert. What’s the benefit to the country?
After waiting for several days, the decree issued by His Majesty Li Er has not been issued, which makes the Fang family and his son very surprised...
In the study, father and son sat opposite each other.
"Could it be that His Majesty saw that this move was the sinister intention of some people and therefore did not intend to deal with the child?" Fang Jun asked curiously.
"You are really ignorant. Do you think that Your Majesty is an extremely dim monarch like King You of Zhou who played beacon fires on the princes and Emperor Wu of Liang who sacrificed himself in a Buddhist temple? His Majesty is wise and powerful, and his methods are simple. Naturally, he can see every detail and illuminate thousands of miles. It's not because he doesn't deal with you everywhere. Whether your majesty believes those rumors depends on whether your majesty is really determined to save money."
Fang Xuanling said angrily.
His Majesty is definitely one of the wisest kings in history. Even those who hope to disrupt the government and destabilize the position of the crown prince cannot achieve their goals by spreading rumors and other inferior means. Everything is just an excuse for His Majesty Li Er.
If His Majesty Li Er continues to trust the prince, everything will naturally be calm, and such market rumors will be ignored at all.
If Yi Chu is really tempted, he will naturally take the opportunity to denounce Fang Jun, in order to convey Yi Chu's message to the world...
It's not that Fang Jun doesn't understand this truth, he's just a little unbelievable.
History clearly told him that His Majesty Li Er always had the intention of being a prince. In his eyes, whether it was King Li Tai of Wei or King Li Zhi of Jin, whoever inherited the throne would be far better than Prince Li Chengqian. The eldest son is quite unwelcome...
The reserve position is the foundation of the country. If the prince is unstable, the foundation of the country will not be solid. This is definitely not what a wise king wants to see.
Although it is impossible for Yi Chu to make a decision at once, as that will definitely cause violent turmoil in the court, and the gains outweigh the losses, at this time, he can completely convey Yi Chu's message to the ministers by reproaching himself for leaving the capital, and wait until the ministers slowly accept it. This decision will make it easier for Chu to support another prince to ascend to the throne.
Now that His Majesty Li Er has not made a decision, could it be that because of his time travel, he completely changed history and made His Majesty Li Er give up on the idea of easy storage?
Fang Jun felt a headache. Even as a time traveler, facing the treacherous history that could change anytime and anywhere because of a completely inconspicuous thing, he felt totally uncontrollable.
History does have inertia, but if a given time node changes, it is very likely to affect the whole body, causing all things to have completely unexpected endings like dominoes, causing the river of history to deviate. The river course even breaks through the embankment and leads to a completely different road...
Sighing, Fang Jun said: "In this case, the boy will go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to take up his appointment tomorrow. Otherwise, if the imperial censors find out about the mistakes in delaying his appointment, there will be another series of memorials and impeachments."
Fang Xuanling stared at his son, extremely speechless.
When Mingjun is in power, as a minister, who is not walking on thin ice with fear? If an official does something wrong and is impeached by the censor, who is not frightened out of his mind for fear that your majesty will convict him? It's good for this monster in our family. He has only been in office for a few days, but he has been impeached by the censors and officials. He has become accustomed to it and is calm. He can even make fun of him without taking it to heart...
He has the potential to be a treacherous minister.
Fang Xuanling said distressedly: "You should also cultivate your moral character in the future. In the past, when you did something wrong, you could use impulsiveness and recklessness to excuse it. Now that you are a father, you should naturally calm down and don't let others impeach you again." An excuse for being an official for a lifetime. , since you should strictly keep your reputation and keep your reputation, if you continue to act so absurdly and wantonly, won't you leave a bad name as a traitor? If you are really like this, how can you have the face to see my family after being a father for a hundred years? Ancestors? ”
This son really broke Fang Xuanling's heart!
In terms of ability, almost no one in the current dynasty can match him. Even compared with the capable ministers of the past generations, he is not far behind. Have no fear!
In the future, will history books give a reputation as a capable minister, or will he be given a reputation as a sycophant? (End of chapter)
