Chapter 2204 Struggle for power
However, His Majesty Li Er did not seem to hear the subtext of Fang Jun's request for a rank. Instead, he glared at Fang Jun and said displeasedly: "Ignorant bastard! That Princess of Silla is so charming and charming, she is a rare beauty, and she is from the royal family of Silla. He has deep roots in Silla and controls many trade routes. Many people in the court covet him, but you are so picky. It is simply unreasonable.”
Fang Jun sighed, knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion and that it would be useless to talk more, so he couldn't help but muttered: "Watch it, you might as well marry yourself..."
Concubine Yang quickly scolded: "How can you talk? No big or small!"
His Majesty Li Er snorted, but he was not angry.
I just thought to myself: If I were ten years younger, what do you think I could do to you?
……
The academy has not yet been fully completed, but most of the main building has been completed.
On a hill with gentle terrain on the west side of Kunming Pool, dozens of buildings are scattered among the trees and springs, occupying an extremely large area and being magnificent. A row of exquisite buildings was built at the mountain gate, just under the big stone engraved with "Shi Shuo". After the academy is established, it will become the guard gate leading out of the mountain gate. At this moment, it is temporarily serving as the "preparatory headquarters" of the entire academy... …
In a room with bright windows, Fang Jun was dressed in regular clothes, sitting lazily on a chair. There was still a long wooden table in front of him. The academy officials and clerks were lined up on the left and right, and they were holding a ceremony to establish the academy. The first internal meeting since.
The structure of the academy is modeled on that of the Imperial College, with one chief minister, two secretaries, one chancellor, and one registrar. It consists of six schools: the School of Economics, the School of Military Affairs (also the Lecture Hall), the School of Arithmetic, the School of Gewu, the School of Calligraphy, and the School of Law. Each school has three PhDs, several teaching assistants, and several direct lecturers...
The overall organization is quite large.
However, the candidates for PhDs, teaching assistants, and generals in various schools of the academy are still being debated by all parties, and it is difficult to implement them at the moment. Therefore, there were not many participants in this meeting
In addition to Fang Jun and Chu Suiliang beside him, Xu Jingzong is the next leader, as well as Wei Guogong Li Jing who serves as a doctor of Jiangwutang, Kong Yingda, a doctor of the School of Economics, Li Chunfeng, a doctor of the School of Mathematics, and Yu Zhining, a doctor of the School of Law... Among them, Fang Junhe Chu Suiliang also served as a doctor of the Academy of Gewu and the Academy of Calligraphy respectively.
Ph.D.s from various disciplines are all top leaders in their respective disciplines in the world. This lineup is enough to shock everyone, and it shows how much the entire empire attaches importance to this "Zhenguan Academy".
A group of people were sitting there, all big bosses from one party, gathered here, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
Chu Suiliang licked his lips. He had never been the top leader in any yamen. Even though there was an emperor serving as the "big sacrificial wine" in this academy, and Fang Jun competing against him, he could actually be regarded as the top leader, so I was a little nervous for a while.
Seeing the dull atmosphere, Chu Suiliang thought that he had to stand up and take this opportunity to show his presence. It would be better if he could overwhelm Fang Jun in terms of momentum, so he coughed dryly and said: "Everyone... ”
At the same time, Fang Jun was sitting on a chair, leaning slightly sideways, holding a tea cup in his hand, just like he did when he was in the office in his previous life. By chance, he was talking to Duke Wei Li Jing with a smile and said: "Over there in Jiangnan today. I sent you a few Songjiang perch. All bass in the world have two gills, but Songjiang perch has four gills, a large mouth, thin scales, and hard fin spines. Its meat is tender, fat, and fresh. There is no fishy smell, no fine burrs, and the taste is extremely delicious. It is a treasure among fishes. There are also several jars of Jiangnan bamboo leaf green wine saved from last year. Duke Wei might as well come over tomorrow and order people to cook it, drink wine and eat fish, and order a few more. Jiangnan singers dance to add to the fun... Wu wine with a glass of spring bamboo leaves, Wu baby dancing with hibiscus... That is the enjoyment of the world."
Li Jing raised his snow-white eyebrows, with a happy face, and immediately said: "Of course I want to go! Last year, I traveled to the south of the Yangtze River with my father-in-law and tasted the deliciousness of the four-gill seabass. I still salivate when I think about the delicious food. , unforgettable!”
The two of them chatted and laughed in low voices, talking about sea bass and fine wine, without looking at the extremely embarrassed Chu Suiliang...
Chu Suiliang's face turned the color of pig liver.
After all, he was one of the two ministers, the second most powerful person in the academy after His Majesty, but on the first day he took office, he was abruptly treated by Fang Jun. Seeing how Fang Jun didn't take him seriously and didn't take him seriously, Chu Suiliang wanted to jump up and slap him hard!
But he didn't dare...
He dared to offend Fang Jun, but he would never dare to offend Li Jing.
Although Li Jing now has no soldiers under his command, he seems to be just a toothless tiger. However, everyone knows that from the moment Li Jing handed over all the military power in his hands, he himself was almost blessed with something. The invulnerable golden bell!
Li Jing, who could no longer threaten the imperial power, has since become a symbol of the Tang Empire, representing the unparalleled achievements of running rampant in Mobei, raiding the Yinshan Mountains, and destroying the Turks!
Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to Li Jing will be in trouble with His Majesty Li Er!
Chu Sui was filled with hatred in his conscience and looked ugly. He suppressed the embarrassment and humiliation. He coughed dryly and was about to speak again when he saw Kong Yingda sitting opposite Li Jing with a smile and said: "Back then, I accompanied Erlang to Jiangnan. I was also lucky enough to taste it." The seabass is so delicious, Erlang, Mr. Wei, don’t you mind if I’m a bad guest tomorrow?”
Chu Suiliang almost overturned the table!
What to do?
One or two, relying on their age and seniority, they just come here to rely on their old age, right?
What the hell... you just bully me and don’t dare to fall out, right?
Fang Jun didn't even look at Chu Suiliang's expression as he was about to go berserk. He smiled and said to Kong Yingda, "Look at what you said. We can't even invite you as a distinguished guest. You are welcome."
< br>
Li Jing also smiled at Kong Yingda and said: "It is unusual for me to be willing to associate with a young man like my husband-in-law. After all, there is a difference of forty or fifty years in age. I didn't expect that the wise brother Zhong Yuan actually has the same hobbies. Why, but I want to be with him more." How much youthful vitality do young people feel when they get along together, and how many more years will they live? ”
He will be over 70 years old this year, and Kong Yingda is two or three years younger than him. It is really rare for two old people with white hair and beard to drink and have fun with a young man who is about to be weak...
Chu Suiliang was not only filled with anger, but also felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
What is this for?
Are two old guys whose qualifications are almost unrivaled in the Tang Dynasty blatantly supporting Fang Jun and letting him completely suppress them?
If so...the situation is not good.
Yu Zhining watched with cold eyes and said nothing.
The prince's family did not reap any real benefits from the preparations for the establishment of the academy. Even his PhD position in the Law School was based on his qualifications of having followed Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling in compiling "Zhenguan Law". What came in was more like a form of comfort from His Majesty.
Today's academy has become a battlefield where Fang Jun and the Guanlong nobles compete with each other and fight openly and secretly.
It is obvious that in this first battle, Chu Suiliang, the representative of the Guanlong nobles, was defeated for a while, while Xu Jingzong, another man who seemed to be closer to the Guanlong nobles, remained silent...
Now Yu Zhining thought about Fang Jun's uncharacteristic alienation from the prince's family, and the prince seemed to ignore it and let it go. Is there any inside story that he didn't know about?
Perhaps Fang Jun deliberately excluded the prince from this tit-for-tat battle with the Guanlong nobles?
……
Old God Li Chunfeng sat aside and watched Fang Jun, who was having a lively chat with Li Jing and Kong Yingda, but left Chu Suiliang aside. While being secretly amused, he also held a moment of silence for Chu Suiliang.
According to his understanding of Fang Jun, it would be fine if Chu Suiliang was suppressed to death. Fang Jun was not the one who killed all the people, but he could still save some face for Chu Suiliang. But if Chu Suiliang vows to fight to the end and compete with Fang Jun, then he is very likely to be completely knocked down by Fang Jun without any effort...
well!
The squabbling and intrigues in the officialdom were really annoying, but the small yamen of the Taishi Bureau was cleaner. Everyone rose to the top based on their ability, and could study with peace of mind, and lived a very comfortable life.
……
Chu Suiliang held back his anger, knocked on the table, glared at Fang Jun and said: "You guys have personal friendships to talk about, why don't you wait until after you leave your posts to have a long talk? This is the academy, and our top priority today is When selecting places for academy students, please distinguish the priorities and do not let down His Majesty’s great trust.”
When Yu Zhining heard this, he shook his head secretly.
As soon as he opened his mouth and closed his mouth, he lifted His Majesty out and pressed him down... This man was full of straw, so that was it. (End of chapter)
