Chapter 1684 Bad Water
It is not difficult to imagine the consequences of following Le Yanwei's "high theory" - for the sake of the image of the "first emperor", the court can cover up the truth again and again, trample on justice again and again, and create unjust cases again and again, knowing full well that it is Never change it if it is wrong, because doing so represents "political correctness"!
No one knows the full purpose of Le Yanwei's "high talk". Maybe it was because he had an old grudge with Liu Jie, and he retaliated by adding insult to injury at this time. Or maybe he was truly selfless and doing his duty as a "loyal minister". Division and responsibility.
However, he forgot that as a minister, even if you cannot promote righteousness, how can you openly use such dirty and dirty methods in the court?
To safeguard His Majesty Li Er's wisdom by not redressing unjust cases, the so-called emperor's wisdom must be supported by the blood, tears and grievances of countless people. It may be able to achieve temporary stability under high pressure, but in the long run, unjust cases will inevitably fester—— Every unjust case is like an ax striking at the Li Tang Building; countless unjust cases are like countless chops.
The final outcome is almost certain: there are fewer and fewer loyal ministers in the court who speak out and dare to remonstrate, and the power of justice is lost in waves; a group of city foxes and social rats occupy the temples and temples, feeling proud and celebrating; the common people are like falling into water and fire, and their lives are worse than ever. He died, and finally forced Liang to become a thief, and thieves spread all over the country...
In fact, this is exactly the case. Gaozong's martial arts were outstanding, but he was actually eating up the capital of Zhenguan's prosperous age. He himself made little contribution to the country. He did not dare to be upright in the process of eliminating the family members, but borrowed Wu Meiniang's skills. Knife, he hid aside and created a hypocritical appearance of powerlessness, making himself invincible.
He thought he had everything under control whether he could advance, attack, retreat or defend, but unexpectedly, God did not give him a long life. As a result, after he died, Wu Meiniang's sword was not sheathed, but Relying on the gift given by Emperor Gaozong Her power was invincible, killing all obstacles in front of her, seizing the supreme power of the Tang Empire in one fell swoop, changing Tang Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty, and almost severing the bloodline of the Li family...
And "loyal ministers" like Le Yanwei are actually the "executioners" of the Empire State Building. They may seem insignificant, but they are eroding the foundation of the empire. No matter how solid the foundation of the Tang Empire is, it cannot withstand such encroachment. If it is allowed to form a trend, it will eventually collapse.

Le Yanwei happily returned to the censor's desk, wrote a memorial in a eloquent manner, and then took this memorial to the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion to ask for an audience with Xiao Yu. After a while, he returned to the mansion with a happy face, and sent several servants to disguise themselves and sneak in. Lishan Farm.
The next day, the servants sent the servants back to Fang's house to use a small sedan chair to bring the girl from the bun shop to Zhuangzi's little gate...
Le Yanwei clapped his hands and laughed, Fang Jun, Fang Jun, you are too arrogant, you are really a stick!
At that moment, I was very excited and wrote quickly, re-polished the memorial, went through the impeachment process of the Yushitai, and submitted the memorial directly to the Political Affairs Hall...
Lishan Farm.
The newlyweds were sent into the bridal chamber, and the whole village was filled with joy.
Prince Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to block the jug raised by Fang Jun, and said helplessly: "Could it be that Erlang wants to get Gu Gu drunk? Okay, ok, I've had a lot of fun today, how about I accompany Erlang someday? If I drink any more, I'll get drunk." ”
Fang Jun said: "That's alright. The prince will not drink, but the minister will drink with His Highness the King of Wu."
King Wu Li Ke's handsome face was flushed with the surging alcohol. He smiled bitterly and said: "I am convinced by your ability to drink... But what kind of medicine are you selling in this jar? Can you tell me directly? If you continue to drink like this, If you go down, your father will give us a slap in the face.”
Fang Jun smiled and said: "What kind of medicine is being sold? It's just a wedding banquet for your two highnesses."
"Come on, if a soldier is getting married, why would you invite my brother here?" Li Ke rolled his eyes with a look of disbelief.
Fang Jun insisted on filling Li Ke's wine glass and said casually: "What Your Highness said, people are in high spirits when happy events happen. Even if it is not their own happy event, the atmosphere can make people feel comfortable, and even ordinary turbid wine can be tasted." Taste, let alone Huadiao aged for ten years?”
Li Ke covered the cup with his hand and refused to drink any more: "Are you telling the truth? If you don't tell the truth, I will never drink this glass of wine again."
They are so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar. How could Li Ke, who is as thoughtful as he is, not be able to see that Fang Jun is hiding a trick in his heart?
To be clear, he really didn't dare to drink this wine anymore. Who knows if this mallet might get a prince or a prince drunk and do some dirty things, and hold it in his hand as a handle?
This roommate is immoral and there is nothing he dares or cannot do...
Fang Jun then sneered and said: "As you said, could it be that the humble minister would still harm your two highnesses?"
"It's hard to tell."
"It's hard to say."
The two brothers, the prince and the king of Wu, spoke in unison. After speaking, they looked at each other and even high-fived each other. They were very pleased that the brothers were united and "heroes see the same thing"...
Fang Jun was depressed: "You two are really... To be honest, it's not a big deal. It's just that if someone impeaches a lowly minister for doing evil in the future, please ask your two highnesses to be witnesses. I will drink with you today and do other bad things." Did nothing.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ke slapped his thigh and looked like he was regretting it too late: "Oh! I just said that I have been in a state of anxiety all day today, and my eyebrows are still twitching. Sure enough, nothing good happened."
Fang Jun said angrily: "Why is there nothing good? It's just a testimony. What are you saying to be truthful? Your Highness, King Wu, doesn't confuse black and white and talk nonsense. Why do you make such an expression as if you are helping others to harm others?"
Li Ke sighed and said: "You can pull me down. I don't know you yet? I must be trying to hurt someone. I'm not sure, so I want to drag the prince and me to support you. You are so wicked, the prince is fine now. , but I have long been a thorn in the side of the family, are you not afraid of making me the target of public criticism, and eventually being deprived of my title, deprived of my title, and sent to the army?”
Li Ke is really worried. Fang Jun is good at everything, he has the ability to show loyalty, and he is kind-hearted and righteous in ancient times. However, he is unbearable because he likes to make trouble.
Little did he know that Fang Jun was really wronged this time. It was not that he wanted to mess with others, but that others wanted to mess with him. Fang Jun's character is unreasonable and he still wants to fight for three points, not to mention that this time he is sitting behind closed doors and letting trouble come from the sky? Although Fang Xuanling asked him to be honest and said he had his own way to deal with it, Fang Jun still felt unhappy.
In the past two years, I have been cultivating my moral character. Have you all forgotten that I am a stickman who is not afraid of anything and everything?
It's not Fang Jun's character to be obedient and wait to be punished. When others attack him, he will definitely attack him back until no one dares to attack him...
Fang Jun said: "Someone wants to ruin my reputation and make me lose hope of promotion."
After all, Li Chengqian was the prince, so he couldn't know anything about the direction of the wind. Hearing this, he asked in a low voice: "Those people in Jiangnan?"
Fang Jun took a sip from the wine glass and said disdainfully: "These people are greedy. They just saw the huge profits of 'Eastern Datang Company' every month and thought that these were all snatched from their hands. They are simply short-sighted! If not!" 'East Datang Company', there is no Royal Navy, he How can their goods cross the ocean and occupy the markets of Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Japan, and Nanyang? This is to beat me and make Huating Town open to the entry and exit of their goods. A group of people only see small profits. A fool who forgets justice! ”
Some people never understand the principle of "a strong country and a prosperous people". They only see their profits being taxed by the court, and they only see their goods entering and exiting being restricted by the court, but they never think about what it would be like without a strong country as a backing , what is the difference between these merchants and sheep when they go abroad?
And where does a strong country come from?
Without taxes, how can we support the armies that dominate the world?
Li Chengqian had a worried look on his face and said worriedly: "But after the Chinese New Year, the Eastern Expedition will probably begin. Jiangnan is a place where wealth and equipment are collected. If this causes turmoil... it will ruin the overall situation. Even if the father is no longer favored by that time, You will also be severely punished.”
The Eastern Expedition is a top priority for His Majesty Li Er. Anyone who dares to ruin the overall situation of the Eastern Expedition will be punished by the emperor. There is no mercy at this time.
Li Chengqian was afraid that Fang Jun would lose his temper and would compete with the Jiangnan nobles regardless, thus damaging the imperial plan...
Fang Jun snorted and sneered: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Wei Chen is a person who doesn't know what's important. But Wei Chen is not a soft persimmon who can be manipulated by others. If they just give in blindly, they will not know how to push forward. This time they will definitely let them go." You know, who has the final say in Jiangnan business?”
Li Ke listened as the topic got further and further, and couldn't help but interject: "I've been talking for a long time, what does this have to do with you inviting my brothers to come and drink the wedding wine of one of your own soldiers today?"
Fang Jun smiled gloomily and said: "I'm going to take advantage of Xian Kunzhong's status and slap some people in the face!"
Li Ke smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He knew Fang Jun very well, and when he saw Fang Jun's expression, he knew that this guy must have taken bad risks, and he didn't know which unlucky guy he would be disgusted with...
But having said that, those people in Jiangnan are really greedy and ugly. If Fang Jun had not set up the Shipping Department and the Royal Navy had not shocked the seven seas, how could they have made the huge profits they are making today?
This time I have offended Fang Jun. I don’t know how this vindictive stick will deal with them. Just don’t cry...(End of Chapter)
