Chapter 2379 Impeachment of Changsun Wuji
Xu Jingzong didn't know what happened to make Fang Jun so angry, but he was naturally happy to hear about Fang Jun's impeachment of Changsun Wuji.
Even if these two people are turned around, it will be the same...
Immediately, Xu Jingzong spread out the rice paper, splashed ink, and wrote an impeachment memorial in a eloquent manner. He then read it silently, deleted it slightly, dried the ink and handed it to Fang Jun, saying: "Erlang takes a look and is satisfied. If there is any If there is anything wrong, I will correct it.”
Fang Jun took it and read it carefully.
It has to be said that talent and virtue are two completely unrelated things. Some people are talented but not virtuous, and some people are highly virtuous but have little talent. There are very few people throughout the ages who can truly possess both talent and virtue. Those who occasionally emerge in history are all remembered in history.
Xu Jingzong was a man of shallow virtues, but extremely talented. His impeachment memorial was beautifully written, with extremely gorgeous words and sentences, and he was so hearty that he scolded the eldest grandson Wuji for being ungrateful, insidious, and cunning. He was so shameless There is nothing like this in heaven or earth where there is favoritism and perversion of the law.
Fang Jun flicked the rice paper with satisfaction and praised: "This kind of article is really rare in the world. If you use it to participate in the imperial examination, the first person in Mingjing Ke must be Master Xu!"
Xu Jingzong said humbly: "Erlang is ridiculous. In front of an extraordinary talent like you, my knowledge is not worth mentioning."
Does this article depend on the imperial examination?
You can pull him down, and we will just scold Changsun Wuji behind his back. If it were in front of him, who would dare to do it in the whole court except you, the stick?
Fang Jun spread out the memorial written by Xu Jingzong on the table, took the special paper for the memorial, picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, and copied it according to the memorial.
Xu Jingzong watched from the side. He had always admired Fang Jun's calligraphy, which had a round shape and beautiful structure. Except for a few people such as Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun and Chu Suiliang, few people could match it. Especially because of his age, there is still a lot of room for improvement. As time passes and life experience accumulates, it is almost inevitable to move to the next level.
I am afraid that by that time, the title of the number one literary giant at that time will be truly deserved.
I admired Fang Jun's handwriting with fascination, and thought to myself that it was a pity: this handwriting can almost be famous forever, but Fang Jun, this stick, doesn't look like a scholar at all? He was arrogant and domineering and caused trouble all day long, ruining this good word.
There is an extreme mismatch between talent and character. God has no eyes for it...
The two of them were close to each other, but they had almost the same thoughts.
After a while, Fang Jun finished copying the memorial. He picked it up and dried the ink stains. He checked it carefully. There were no typos or omissions. Xu Jingzong's gorgeous article with his own font was simply a perfect work of art. If This memorial can be passed down to future generations. It is a proper national treasure and must be admitted to the Palace Museum...
Fold the memorial twice and put it close to your body.
Xu Jingzong was wondering whether he should mention the fact that you still hold my hand for a hundred dollars at this time, and then he heard Fang Jun say: "The day after tomorrow, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Furong Garden will be open to the public. At that time, His Majesty will also come to Ziyun Tower to escape the summer heat. Appreciate lotuses and have fun with the people. There is only one quota in each yamen. I plan to go to the Ziyun Tower as the Minister of the Ministry of War. As for the place in the academy, I intend to give you a place in the academy. I just don’t know if Xu will be free at that time. Might as well take advantage of that old boy Chu Suiliang.”
When Xu Jingzong heard this, how could he not be free?
Even if your father is married, you must be free!
He quickly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said with cupped hands: "If I refuse such care from Erlang, wouldn't I have failed in your kindness? I will definitely find time to go there."
Fang Jun almost wanted to kick Fang Jun. This is the most annoying thing about this old guy. His mind spins very fast, and all the pros and cons can be sorted out in his mind in an instant, so he rarely suffers a loss. Refuse to suffer losses.
Being able to accompany the emperor during his travels is an opportunity that no one could ask for. Perhaps a joke can make the emperor happy and leave the shadow of this minister in his heart. When facing the scene, this impression is very likely Become a step up in promotion.
But Xu Jingzong got such a beneficial opportunity, but he was not even willing to accept the favor...
Fang Jun felt unhappy and looked at Xu Jingzong and said: "Master Xu is a little embarrassed to hear what this means? If you really can't get out, there is no need to force it. I can give up my place in the Ministry of War to a principal, and then the academy Let me go if the quota is available.”
Xu Jingzong was startled and thought to himself: Why is this kid so stingy?
Isn’t it because I didn’t fully accept your favor, so I fell out...
He quickly said: "Erlang is joking, how can I miss this opportunity? Thanks to Erlang's support, I will definitely look after you in the future!"
Fang Jun snorted, not being as knowledgeable as this cunning old man.
"Then I will go to the Political Affairs Hall immediately and see that this impeachment memorial has been submitted. Chief Xu will have to worry about the affairs in the academy."
"What are you talking about, Erlang? It's my job, so you can go and do important things. Don't worry about the academy. I will handle it properly."
"Very good. I'll take my leave then."
"Erlang, walk slowly..."
When Fang Jun walked out of the door, Xu Jingzong clicked his tongue and realized that this Fang Jun must be playing a prank. Every time he mentioned the hundred strings, there would always be various reasons to shirk it. Are you just not planning to return the hundred strings to me, which makes me feel uncomfortable?
This guy is really bad...
*****
In the political hall, Cen Wenwen rubbed his eyebrows, threw the documents in his hand on the table, and sighed: "This year's military expenditure is another astronomical figure. If the Eastern Expedition cannot be completed next year, I am afraid that I and the Minister of Civil Affairs will We have to resign together, the Ministry of Civil Affairs’ warehouse is almost full of rats!”
The empire assembled hundreds of thousands of troops in Liaodong. The Eastern Expedition, which was supposed to start in the spring of a few years, had to be postponed because His Majesty was ill. This delay not only caused the central government to work hard to stabilize the morale of the military, but also made the empire's finances somewhat overwhelmed - hundreds of thousands of people, tens of thousands of war horses at home, and corresponding civilian husbands, who eat horse chews, even if they have a gold mountain It has to be chewed up too.
Even though the central finance has been relatively abundant due to the collection of commercial taxes in recent years, no amount of money can withstand such losses...
Previously, Fang Jun had gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau because the Ministry of Civil Affairs withheld funds from the Ministry of War. This incident was widely known throughout Guanzhong. In fact, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was also helpless. Now the entire Ministry of Civil Affairs was counting grains of rice to get by, and their eyes were filled with tears. It is about to turn into the shape of a copper coin. When it comes to money, it becomes red-eyed. As long as it is money that has been passed, it wants to make a fortune.
Of course, highly motivated selfishness does exist.
However, the eldest son of the Bohai Gao family is also a coward. Fang Jun chased him to the door and made a fuss. He didn't dare to let go, let alone any means of revenge. These days, he simply stopped and went into hiding. All traces are gone...
Cen Wenwen snorted, a useless thing.
Above him, Changsun Wuji, with a solemn face, said as if unintentionally: "Although the Ministry of Civil Affairs is extremely poor at present, your Majesty's internal funds are extremely rich. If we can make all the fleets returning from the Japanese country come to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Hand over...Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
Cen Wenwen raised his eyelids and was speechless.
Li Ji, who was sitting in the seats, didn't even raise his head. He was reviewing the documents in his hands and turned a deaf ear to Changsun Wuji's words.
For a long time, because of His Majesty Li Er's suspicion, Changsun Wuji took the initiative to avoid suspicion in order to prove his innocence and simply stopped coming to the political hall to handle government affairs. However, since I was promoted to "Tai Tu", I feel like I have returned to the exciting years of my youth, and I have been reporting to the Political Affairs Hall day after day.
Even the eldest son, Sun Chong, was assassinated but was not seen alive or dead, but still could not stop his desire to stand at the center of the empire...
However, the prime ministers did not take it seriously.
No matter when, Changsun Wuji's achievements are there. Even if he is relaxing at home, no one can surpass him in political status, including Li Ji, who is the chief minister.
Whether Changsun Wuji comes to the Political Affairs Hall or not, the impact on the overall situation is the same.
But what I just said...
Who doesn't know that when Fang Jun established the new navy, he used His Majesty's internal funds and used the "royal" banner, so it was the emperor's private army through and through. The Royal Navy showed its power in foreign lands and managed the Japanese country obediently. It even killed the "Emperor Lineage" that had been passed down for thousands of years. It supported the powerful Soga family to ascend to the throne, and achieved great success in garrisoning the Japanese country, conducting trade, and The right to mine was even forcibly leased on Sado Island, and huge amounts of gold and silver deposits were discovered.
Therefore, logically speaking, no matter how much gold was transported by the naval warships from Japan to Datang and along the canal to Guanzhong, it was the private property of the emperor and had to be paid. Is there a Maoist relationship with the Ministry of Civil Affairs?
