Chapter 2315 Lobbyist
Li Xiaogong has always looked down upon Li Yuanjing.
Although Li Yuanjing was the son of Emperor Gaozu and a direct descendant of the royal family, in terms of talent and military exploits, how could he compare to him, the king of the clan? Just relying on reincarnation, during the Xuanwumen Incident, he trembled like a quail in his mansion. He neither dared to support Prince Li Jiancheng nor expressed his support for His Majesty Li Er when the overall situation was decided. After that, all the legitimate sons of Emperor Gaozu were killed by His Majesty Li Er, and then he became the prince second only to His Majesty Li Er in the clan.
In the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, who is so talented and resourceful, this brother is nothing...
If His Majesty Li Er didn't cherish his feathers and didn't want to repeat the tragedy of the brothers' feud, this restless guy would have been killed eight hundred times a long time ago. How could he be allowed to be up to now?
Unexpectedly, he thought that he was a noble person and had a noble bloodline. He was ambitious and kept wooing the courtiers and coveting him.
It’s really a thing that doesn’t know how to die.
Li Chongzhen was on duty last night and was still wearing the official uniform of "Hundred Cavalry Division". He said: "My son will go change his clothes first, and then he will go to various mansions to deliver famous assassinations."
Li Xiaogong took a look at Li Chongzhen. He was wearing a leather armor and crimson robe, and he looked tall and majestic. He thought about it and said, "Take a set of clothes and put them on the carriage. Wear this to Prince Jing's Mansion first. When you come out, change into something." I will go to another place in regular clothes.”
Li Chongzhen was stunned and said hesitantly: "Father, this is an official uniform. If I go like this, I might be suspected of relying on the 'Baiqisi'. Will Your Majesty be angry?"
Li Xiaogong shook his head and explained: "Your Majesty is still trying to restrain himself from King Jing. He doesn't want to kill him ruthlessly for fear of tarnishing his reputation. It was because of the Xuanwu Sect incident... Put aside this, Your Majesty doesn't want to touch King Jing now. But who knows whether King Jing will be extremely stupid? Couldn't bear to covet him, and did something stupid that made His Majesty have to remove him? As His Majesty's ministers, we should worry about the King's worries and suppress King Jing so that he does not dare to act rashly, so that His Majesty will not be harmed. In trouble ”
Li Chongzhen felt that his father's words made sense.
Your Majesty does not want to kill King Jing, but if King Jing does something rebellious, Your Majesty will have to kill him, which will damage His Majesty's reputation. If King Jing can be made to stay in peace, there will naturally be no such embarrassment.
"Father, don't worry, your son knows what to do."
"Okay, let's go and come back as soon as possible. In three days, it will be the seventh day of July, and after that, it will be the day of the court meeting. Before then, we must suppress the humble people in the royal family and support the emperor. Jun enters the military aircraft office. Remember, this not only consolidates the friendship between our two families, but also forges a strong relationship with our county and the palace. If Fang Jun becomes the Prime Minister, he will be a powerful helper for my family. "
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, every day during the daily dynasty, officials of the fifth rank and above must enter the dynasty. This is called "entering the pavilion". The first and second days of each month are the dynasty, that is, once on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Every year on the first day of the lunar month and the winter solstice, the scale is even larger, and all Beijing officials of rank nine or above must participate.
"My son understands!"
Seeing Li Chongzhen striding away, Li Xiaogong sipped his tea and made careful calculations in his mind. With him standing up to make a strong statement, and then the King of Han and the King of Jiangxia County standing on the side, they almost combined the most powerful forces in the royal family. , supporting Fang Jun to take the position, I guess there won’t be anything wrong.

"Went to Hejian County Prince's Mansion?"
His Majesty Li Er was practicing calligraphy in the study, copying an article "Lanting Preface", put down his pen, blew ink stains, and asked.
Li Junxian stood on the side of the desk and replied respectfully: "Exactly."
His Majesty Li Er straightened up and waved to Li Ji on the other side: "Maogong, come and see if there is any improvement in this font?"
Li Ji quickly stepped forward, stroking his beard and watching carefully.
His Majesty Li Er put his hands in the copper basin and washed them, took the handkerchief and wiped them clean. He returned to the table and admired his handwriting with satisfaction. He said: "First we made an appointment with Ma Zhou, and then we went straight into the river." The Jianjun Prince’s Mansion, oh by the way, had previously supported Liu Ji’s appointment as the Minister of Attendant... This guy wants to join forces with Zong Lian Heng to move out his own team and seek the position of Minister of Military Aircraft Department.”
Speaking of this, he looked at Li Ji with a half-smile, and teased: "It seems that when you go home later, that kid will probably be waiting for you at home."
Li Ji stroked his beard, smiled slightly, without taking his eyes off the copybook on the table, and replied casually: "Wei Chen is not his teammate Fang Jun."
His Majesty Li Er said: "This is your nephew. He is a good family man, so you don't care about the friendship?"
Li Jidao said: "If you come to Wei Chen's house to eat and drink, of course you can let him go. He can go anywhere in the whole house. But when it comes to matters in the court, Wei Chen only recognizes ability. The capable will be promoted and the mediocre will be demoted. He will not care about him. Is he a nephew and a good member of the family? ”
His Majesty Li Er was a little surprised: "So, you don't approve of Fang Jun entering the military aircraft department?"
Li Ji straightened up and said: "Wei Chen has a clear distinction between public and private affairs and will never seek personal gain or abandon public service. However, Wei Chen naturally approves of Fang Jun entering the Military Aircraft Department."
His Majesty Li Er was almost dodged...
The way you spoke so righteously before, I thought you were selfless.
He said angrily: "Why, are you trying to tell someone that Bang Chui is an outstanding talent and deserves it?"
Li Ji looked serious and replied: "Your Majesty is wise. Although Fang Jun is young and inexperienced, I also understand that Your Majesty wants to suppress him. But aside from these, doesn't Your Majesty think that Fang Jun has the qualifications to enter the military aircraft department?" What are the qualifications for becoming an important military minister? ”
Astonishingly talented, handsome, capable of civility and martial arts, Fang Jun today is not only a leader among the younger generation, but even in the court, there are few who can compare with him.
No one doubted that he would be one of the important ministers of the empire in the coming decades.
In terms of military achievements alone, during the Western Expedition to Gaochang Kingdom, he led his Shenji Battalion to defeat the Turkic Wolf Cavalry without retreating. In two encounters, he severely damaged the powerful enemy, and he became famous from this. Then he single-handedly prepared the establishment of the Royal Navy, allowing the warships of the Tang Dynasty to sail across the oceans, galloping at will without fail, and bringing the vast oceans under the control of the Tang Dynasty. Countless merchant ships safely traveled through various routes, not only bringing massive quantities of goods to the Tang Dynasty. The wealth made the Tang Dynasty famous and famous all over the world.
Then, a lone army bravely marched out of Baidao and marched straight into Mobei. Within a few months, they defeated powerful enemies and killed corpses everywhere in the snowy plains of Mobei, with rivers of blood. They marched straight to Shan Yuting and destroyed Xue Yantuo. It was a repeat of the events of Wei Qing and Wei Qing. Huo Qubing's great achievements in "sealing the wolf as a coward" and "conquering Shi Yanran" have soared his reputation and made unparalleled achievements in the world!
In this world, except for Li Jing, Li Ji and a few others, who can compete with Fang Jun in terms of military exploits?
In the army of the Tang Dynasty, countless young soldiers regarded him as a role model, and their admiration for him was like the overflowing of a river, establishing his status as an important general in the army in one fell swoop.
If Fang Jun is not qualified to enter the Military Aircraft Department, who can?
His Majesty Li Er picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip of tea, sighed, and said: "It seems that Fang Jun will not visit Maogong Mansion today. He must have been there yesterday, right?"
Li Ji smiled bitterly and apologized: "Every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart. I am definitely not caring about personal relationships. I hope your Majesty will learn from it."
What kind of guidance is needed?
His Majesty Li Er is very clear about Fang Jun's ability and character, but it is precisely because of this that he repeatedly wants to suppress Fang Jun and make him settle down, step by step, and lay a solid foundation. Only when the prince ascends the throne in the future can he bloom. Brilliant, the Prince Fu Bi secures the country and forges ahead.
But now, it is obvious that the suppression can no longer be suppressed.
Fang Jun's talents and abilities are like the sun breaking through the clouds, shining brightly. He has even created a circle of interests and friendship around him. Even if he, the emperor, insists on suppressing him, he must Produces quite a bit of pressure.
The most fearful thing is that the monarch and his ministers are at odds with each other, which will result in more losses than gains...
Li Ji saw that His Majesty Li Er's face was dark and uncertain, and asked: "Your Majesty is worried that once Fang Jun ascends the throne early, power will breed his ambition, and the prince will not be able to be kind and control him in the future?"
< br>
His Majesty Li Er said with a sigh: "I am a king and a minister, and I will not tell you those lies. If Fang Jun enters the center now and holds great power, in a hundred years, Fang Jun will have full wings and will be in court." Is there anyone who can cure him? I believe in Fang Jun’s character. Zi Nai is a pure minister and has no rebellious intentions. But you also know that power is the most intoxicating and can also lose people's nature. Even if he will not do anything rebellious, he can occupy the court and block the way of speech, and will the new What should we do if the emperor suppresses all the officials?”
He didn't want the new emperor to become a puppet, and he didn't want Fang Jun to follow the path of a powerful minister and end up with an unhappy ending...
It's considered well-intentioned. (End of chapter)
