Chapter 2380: Not recognizing good people
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, especially after His Majesty Li Er came to the throne, the division of internal and external dynasties has been extremely clear and will never be confused. These prime ministers also recognize this division. No matter how difficult it is for the imperial court, they will never want to go there. The idea of using the emperor's internal funds - if the Ministry of Civil Affairs has no money now, it can go to the emperor's internal funds to ask for it. If tomorrow the emperor's internal funds run out of money, can he also ask for it from the Ministry of Civil Affairs?
This kind of precedent must not be set. The difficulties of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are only temporary. As long as the Eastern Expedition is over, regardless of victory or defeat, the situation will be greatly improved. After all, the entire Tang Dynasty now implements commercial tax, and the amount of annual tax is almost several times that of before. It is sufficient to cope with domestic infrastructure design and construction and the operation of national institutions.
Furthermore, although His Majesty Li Er has abundant internal funds, he does not spend them frivolously...
Yu Zhining on the side said: "Although His Majesty has built several palaces in the past two years, which are a bit extravagant, most of the money in the internal funds has been used for the 'Cultural Promotion Association', which has been used in all states and counties across the country. Schools, tens of thousands of teachers, each A huge amount of money is spent every day. Such an emperor is no less generous than the ancient sages. How can Duke Zhao seduce people to covet him? ”
Changsun Wuji was immediately furious, his face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Gong Yan, please give me some advice, otherwise I don't know whether others will misunderstand me, but I will misunderstand whether you have slandered me!"
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhining didn't listen to him at all, and said unceremoniously: "Is there any misunderstanding? I just said that you are ambitious and cold-hearted."
The conflict between him and Changsun Wuji has been around for a long time.
Speaking of which, the Yu family in Luoyang has always been on the same side as the Guanlong nobles and they are extremely firm allies. However, when the Guanlong nobles headed by Changsun Wuji wanted to depose the prince, they immediately came into conflict with the Yu family in Luoyang. At that time, Yu Zhining was the prince's concubine, assisting the prince. Once the prince was deposed, the entire Yu family in Luoyang would be destroyed. Devastated.
Moreover, Yu Zhining has always looked down on the power-playing Changsun Wuji. He is an intellectual, aloof and self-respecting, and has always been upright and upright. How could someone as sinister and cunning as Changsun Wuji catch his eye?
Not to mention the fact that Changsun Wuji brazenly broke into the house this time, which made Yu Zhining even more disdainful.
How dignified is it that a dignified prince and a first-class prince of the dynasty actually behaves like a ruffian? What I just said, both inside and outside of my words, actually led others to feel dissatisfied with the emperor's wealth. Is this something that a minister can do?
No matter how forbearing Changsun Wuji was, he could no longer sit still in the face of Zhining's unceremonious accusation, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense. If Duke Yan insists on doing this, don't blame me for impeaching you!" < br>
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone at the door say: "That's just right. Your Majesty and Zhao Guogong will be a good companion."
Everyone looked in astonishment and saw Fang Jun walking in and standing in the hall to greet him: "Your Majesty, Fang Jun, I have seen all the prime ministers and ministers."
Cen Wenwen waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be more polite. What is the purpose of Erlang coming here?"
Fang Jun once entered the political hall before. Although he was not the prime minister, he was still in a high position. It seemed that he was only one step away from being promoted to prime minister. As a result, there were a lot of messy things. Even his title was downgraded. The Ministry of War left The post of minister was even removed, and he has since withdrawn from the political affairs hall.
Now he has been promoted from the left minister of the Ministry of War to the minister of the Ministry of War, but the power to participate in the government has not been obtained as expected...
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Of course there is something going on, otherwise how would you dare to disturb the prime ministers?"
With that said, he took out the memorial from his arms, took a few steps forward, and presented it to the desk of Shangshu Zuopushe Li Ji with both hands.
Li Ji picked it up casually and asked, "What is this?"
Fang Jun said: "Impeachment Memorial."
When everyone heard it, they were surprised!
The censors and officials from the Censorship Station have always gathered together to impeach Fang Jun, and every time they have done so with great momentum and breathtaking momentum, but today something has changed, it is actually Fang Jun who is impeaching someone else?
Li Ji smiled and joked: "Is there anyone in this court who can be worse than your Fang Erlang? I need to learn more about this."
In the past, certificates submitted to the emperor had to be reviewed by the secretary. Not everything could catch the emperor's eye. The emperor was so busy, where did he have the time to review them one by one?
However, since the rise of the political hall, this power has been transferred here. Today, the secretaries and supervisors are only left with the responsibilities of editing books and managing the royal library for the emperor.
While talking, Li Ji had already unfolded the memorial and read it carefully.
As a result, I just read a few sentences...hiss!
Isn't this too strong a statement? This is not only the impeachment of Changsun Wuji, but also the case of Changsun Chong being "assassinated" by the local director Sun Wuji, in order to blame him, Fang Jun. Therefore, I beg the emperor to order the Sanfa Division to fully intervene in the case and punish the Changsun family. They were screened, interrogated, and even searched Zhao Guogong's mansion from top to bottom to find evidence of crime.
Li Ji immediately saw the seriousness of it. If the emperor dismissed this memorial, it would be equivalent to confirming that Fang Jun was the mastermind behind the assassination. If he agreed with this memorial, he would inevitably start a war against the Changsun family. An unprecedented investigation...
Regardless of the outcome of the investigation, the blow to the reputation of the Changsun family will be fatal.
Others will not delve into what the confrontation is, but they just know that the eldest grandson family is no longer trusted by His Majesty.
Li Ji glanced at Fang Jun. Was he planning to fight to the death? Either you die or I die?
After pondering for a while, he continued to read the following content. Without saying a word, he handed the memorial to Yu Zhining beside him and said: "Gong Yan, take a look."
Yu Zhining finally read the memorial ten lines at a time, his beard curling up, and then handed the memorial to Cen Wenwen.
Cen Wenwen read it word by word with a gloomy face, then pressed the memorial on the table with his backhand.
Changsun Wuji: "..."
Mother!
You two have circulated it around and finished reading it, so you won’t let me read it?
What's the matter, do you want to isolate me?
This is simply unreasonable!
Changsun Wuji's face was so gloomy that it seemed like it could drip water, but Cen Wenwen held the memorial under his hand, and he couldn't step forward to snatch it away. I couldn't see the content of the memorial, and I didn't dare to talk nonsense, otherwise it would be easy for Fang Jun and Yu Zhining to take advantage of him and slap him in the face like crazy.
These two people didn't care whether it was the eldest son's family or Zhao Guogong, they would never show mercy when it was time to fight, and eldest son Wuji also had a headache.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
But...what was actually written in that damn memorial?
Cen Wenwen pressed the memorial with his hand, looked at Fang Jun, and asked in a deep voice: "Erlang, have you ever thought about submitting this memorial to His Majesty?"
From the title, you can see Cen Wenwen's attitude.
This memorial is not a child's play. Once it is submitted to the emperor's desk, the emperor can only make a choice. This is not just a simple matter for the emperor, because the emperor's choice will make Fang Jun or Changsun Wuji face the tide. The public opinion that has aroused is very likely to collapse.
He was purely acting as an elder to remind Fang Jun of the serious consequences of this matter. If he regretted it, he could return this memorial to Fang Jun at this moment and treat it as if it never happened.
As for Changsun Wuji... Cen Wenwen believes that Changsun Wuji is absolutely unwilling to risk the entire family's reputation on this matter, and is willing to stop there.
What's more, you haven't seen the content of this memorial, so why are you dissatisfied?
As long as you haven’t seen it with your own eyes or heard it through your ears, it can’t be taken seriously...
When he said this, Changsun Wuji became more and more suspicious.
What exactly is written in this article that makes Cen Wenwen so cautious? However, there is no need to know the content of the memorial. Cen Wenwen, an old thief, has always been at odds with me. He seems to be laughing and joking, but in fact he is the most sinister. As long as he agrees with it, then he must oppose it.
Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "This is the political hall, the center of the empire! Everything we say and do is meticulous, and every word is of great importance. Although the memorial submitted to His Majesty needs our review, but Fang Junnai is the Minister of the Ministry of War. He has the right to directly reach the Heavenly Listening Hall, so his memorial was sent to the Political Affairs Hall first, which is a sign of respect for the Political Affairs Hall. However, how can we block the way of speech? No matter what Fang Jun said, it should be submitted directly to His Majesty. For good.”
Haha...
Several ministers in the hall shook their heads and were speechless. Originally, Cen Wenwen had good intentions and did not want to make the matter bigger, but you, the client, were afraid that the world would not be in chaos... Since Fang Jun dared to write such a memorial, he must have considerable authority. Be sure, if you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't even have a step to step down from the stage.
