Chapter 2349: Rising waves
Xu Jingzong was worried, fearing that Fang Jun's reform would be too big and would cause strong dissatisfaction among all the aristocratic families, which would not end well.
Just as he said, although the emperor insisted on using measures such as the imperial examination to suppress the wealthy families and favor the poor families, but for hundreds of years, the noble families have been at the top, and they are suddenly on the same level as the poor families. Who can bear it? This must be a slow and long process. If Fang Jun is so radical, he is afraid that instead of achieving good results, he will have to bear the wrath of the clan...
He wasn't thinking about Fang Jun.
It's just that now he and Fang Jun have advanced and retreated together, and their fate has already been tied to the academy. If the clans make a fuss over this in the future, Fang Jun will naturally not be afraid because of his high position and powerful background. He, Xu Jingzong, might be regarded as The scapegoat is pushed out...
Fang Jun didn't take Xu Jingzong's advice seriously.
"You and I now have the emperor's support and righteousness in hand. Even if those clans are dissatisfied, what can we do? In the worst case, we will call our children back and stop studying in the academy. Do you think I will be afraid? Without them, we will all accept it. Take the children from poor families and see who will regret it in the future! Furthermore, I have never heard of anyone losing blood due to the reform in China. The reason why this country is not prosperous and the law is not reformed, please tell me from my room. Start!”
Xu Jingzong's eyes widened, and it took him a long time to react. He couldn't help but touch his forehead with his hand.
Mother!
I just want to come to the academy to gain some qualifications, why the hell are you talking to me about bleeding?
There is something wrong with your mind!
It's just a broken academy. If you can continue to work, you can dare to do it. If you can't continue, you can close the stall. If you can, you will bleed?
It's so scary...
Fang Jun plausibly said: "As the saying goes, a person dies leaving his name, and a leopard dies leaving his skin. We are in a high position, how can we be timid and hesitate just because of the difficulties in front of us? Over the past hundreds of years, powerful families have become a common practice, and we should be able to break through all the difficulties. In the year of 1999, we should overcome this malady and remove the knowledgeable people from poor families. Only when scholars enter the center can we make the best use of them, instead of just looking at family status and not talent. Just imagine that thousands of years later, the political situation of the Tang Dynasty will change because of the academy. We will definitely be famous in history and set a precedent for all generations. What an honor?”
Xu Jingzong rolled his eyes.
Who are you fooling?
If you do this, I'm afraid the academy will have to close down its stalls in a few days and still be remembered in history? It’s hard to say whether I can keep this black gauze hat on my head...
It's impossible to chat with this guy. He's bold, walks wide, and is aggressive. He's a veritable hammer. It's really scary.
"I still have things to deal with, so I'll excuse you for now..."
Xu Jingzong stood up and left. When he got to the door, he remembered something again, stopped and asked, "What... That day when we entertained Gao Zhenxing and others at Songhe Tower, the official paid a hundred gu in advance for the banquet..."
After Fang Jun finished writing, he raised his head after hearing the words and listened carefully. When he saw Xu Jingzong stopped here, he couldn't help but wonder: "I know, what's the matter?"
What's wrong...
Xu Jingzong almost turned around and left. Don't you know what's wrong? Why didn't you pay me back the money I advanced? Even if it’s from the academy’s account, that’s fine!
But if I don't want these hundred strings, it really hurts my heart, so I can only say in a low voice: "It was advanced by the official. Do you think you should pay it back to the official personally, or go directly to the academy's account?"
Fang Jun waved his hand grandly: "Why should the academy handle this matter for hundreds of years? If anyone knows about it, I can't even afford to lose that person!"
Xu Jingzong could not wait to rush up and grab this guy's neck and yell angrily: You damn girl despise this one hundred strings, why don't you pay me back?
As if he could see the displeasure in Xu Jingzong's eyes, Fang Jun hurriedly said: "I was negligent, so I will send someone back to your house to get the money."
Then he shouted toward the door: "Guardian Eagle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps outside. When he arrived outside the door, someone shouted: "Erlang, something bad is going on!"
Fang Jun was stunned and raised his voice: "Come in and talk!"
"Here!"
The door opened, and the steward of the Fang family came in. He was sweating profusely and looked flustered. When he saw Fang Jun, he had no time to salute and said anxiously: "Erlang, the master of the house has an order for you to return home quickly!"< br>
Fang Jun stood up suddenly and asked in surprise: "What happened at home?"
The steward said: "I don't know why Duke Zhao Guo went crazy. If you had killed his eldest son Changsun Chong, you went crazy and went to the mansion to argue with the head of the family. If several ministers living in Chongrenfang hadn't heard the news and came to stop you, this would have happened. I’m afraid we’ll fight together soon!”
Changsun Chong died? !
Fang Jun was shocked and immediately realized that something was wrong.
He and Changsun Chong have always had a grudge, and it has even reached the point where they will fight to the death. A few days ago, outside the Taoist Temple in Zhongnan Mountain, he had to release Changsun Chong out of love for Princess Changle. No one would think that the two of them would really let go. The past suspicions will be resolved from now on.
If Chang Sun Chong was killed, Fang Jun would naturally be the number one suspect - no matter from any angle, Fang Jun did have the reason and motive to kill Chang Sun Chong.
The problem is...he didn't do this!
What kind of person is he, Fang Jun? Since he promised Changle to release Changsun Chong, he would definitely let him go. He released him openly but intercepted and killed him on the way. Isn't this his style?
He doesn't even bother to do this!
In his opinion, even if Changsun Chong keeps jumping around, he is just a withered bone in the grave. As long as he wants, he can take Changsun Chong's life anytime and anywhere without any flaws or evidence.
How could you do such a stupid thing at such a critical moment?
His eldest grandson, Wuji, was known as the "yin man". He was not only deep in the city, but also had far-reaching strategies. In terms of conspiracy and scheming, even Fang Xuanling was willing to follow him and accept the defeat.
Can he not see the strangeness in this?
But he still had to break into the door of Fang's house from the beginning. This was obviously to make things worse and to snipe Fang Jun from entering the military aircraft office!
Thinking of this, Fang Jun's anger rose, he kicked over the chair and shouted angrily: "How unreasonable! Are you bullying my Fang family?"
He strode to the door and was about to go out when he saw Wei Ying hurriedly running in from outside. When he saw Fang Jun, he shouted loudly: "Erlang, the private soldiers of the Changsun family have surrounded the Yamen and threatened to take your life!"
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out of anger: "Very good! Changsun Wuji planned to suppress someone even if he wanted to show off his face. What a good plan!"
Obviously, Changsun Wuji was afraid that His Majesty Li Er would favor Fang Jun, so he took it upon himself to settle the matter first.
If Chang Sun Chong is really dead, unless the murderer is caught alive, Fang Jun will be blamed. If the suspect is not contacted, the position of Minister of Military Aircraft Department is even more unthinkable, even if he can retain the position of Minister of War. That's pretty good.
I have to say that Changsun Wuji is really ruthless!
However, Fang Jun also learned from this that the so-called killing of Chang Sun Chong was simply nonsense. If Chang Sun Chong was really dead, his Chang Sun Wuji would not have made such careful and ruthless arrangements, but would have pretended to be nonchalant. , lurking like a poisonous snake, staring at Fang Jun all the time, and delivering a fatal blow unexpectedly!
"How many people are coming?"
Fang Jun asked.
Wei Ying said: "No less than thirty people!"
The Changsun family is one of the six towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It started with martial arts. Although it has become more and more brilliant in politics in recent years, its foundation is still strong. The private soldiers in the family are all descendants of the generals of the tribe. Needless to say, they are loyal. , and they are all warriors who have gone through battles.
Fang Jun had no expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "Get some armor!"
All the officials from the Ministry of War gathered around this matter. After all, the fact that private soldiers in the government were allowed to surround and attack the Yamen was too new. While everyone was curious, they could not help but be secretly worried.
Seeing Fang Jun's expression and hearing that he wanted to get the armor, he was immediately shocked.
Cui Dunli said quickly: "Erlang, calm down! This is obviously to anger you deliberately. Once you fight, won't you play into the hands of those people? Stay calm, don't be impulsive, as long as the thing is not done by you, sooner or later there will be justice, why bother In a hurry? ”
Liu Shiyi said anxiously: "Erlang, you must not be impulsive! Once you go out and have a conflict with the private soldiers of the eldest grandson family, the imperial censor must have already prepared an impeachment memorial. Wouldn't you fall into the enemy's trap? Now it is In an extraordinary period, no matter what, we should wait until after the court meeting next month to discuss it! ”
He also saw the danger involved. Once Fang Jun was saddled with the reputation of killing Changsun Chong and could not be cleared away for a while, his position as Minister of Military Aircraft Department would definitely be ruined.
No matter how many people support Fang Jun, the emperor cannot allow a person who is under suspicion to become one of the giants in charge of the empire's military and government... (End of this chapter)
