Chapter 2381 Silence
When Changsun Wuji was speaking, he had been paying attention to the expressions of the ministers and ministers, and his heart suddenly "thumped", and he immediately knew that he was reckless...
But then again, what did Fang Jun write in this memorial?
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows, nodded and said: "Zhao Guogong really understands justice, is fair and honest, and is really a model for our officials and a model for the world's scholars. He is benevolent, trustworthy, upright, upright, morally high and respected, like a bright moon, bright and clear." The cool breeze, the ancient sages, there is nothing better than this..."
"Okay, okay," Li Ji said with a dark look on his face, you're still acting, right? He waved his hand and said: "We have already received the memorial, and there is no need to review it. It will be submitted to His Majesty later. Mr. Fang is busy with personnel, so why not go back and deal with official duties? I will not send it far."
Changsun Wuji on the side said nothing. Although his temples were beating with anger, he keenly felt that Fang Jun's memorial must be directed at him, and he did not dare to say anything else, lest he would become passive.
Fang Jun glanced at Changsun Wuji and bowed to several prime ministers and ministers: "In this case, I will take my leave now!"
Li Ji and others nodded in greeting, and then Fang Jun exited the political hall.
When he disappeared from the door, Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and looked at Cen Wenwen: "I wonder what Fang Jun said in this memorial?"
Cen Wenwen picked up the memorial and ordered the scribe standing on one side to hand it to Changsun Wuji, saying: "You will know after you see it yourself, Duke Zhao."
He suppressed the memorial earlier because he wanted to dissuade Fang Jun from being so fierce and not to create problems for His Majesty Li Er. However, since Fang Jun insisted on doing so, he naturally had no need to do so. Anyway, sooner or later, the memorial would have to be given to his eldest grandson. Wuji looked.
Changsun Wuji took the memorial from the book and read it ten lines at a time. He suddenly became furious, slapped the table angrily, and shouted angrily: "This is simply unreasonable! It's nonsense. I can sit upright and sit upright. How can I do that?" Using his own son to carry out such a cruel trick, Fang Jun is simply despicable and shameless, and he is not worthy of being a son of a human being!”
But I felt a little unsure in my heart.
Only he knew the truth of the matter. When this memorial was submitted to the emperor's desk, the emperor had to give instructions. No matter what the outcome was, it would be a great turmoil for the court.
If there were any flaws in what he planned... Changsun Wuji simply didn't dare to think about the consequences.
It was precisely this point that frightened him the most, because if Fang Jun had no real evidence, how could he dare to say such a fiery statement?
Yu Zhining heard Changsun Wuji's words and reminded him: "I'm afraid Zhao Guogong has forgotten that Fang Jun is not a son of a noble family or a lieutenant general in the army, but the Crown Prince Shaobao, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and an upright official of the empire. He has his own right and wrong." Your Majesty and the law are arbitrators, but Duke Zhao’s words should still be respected.”
Changsun Wuji's face was ashen.
This old immortal, just because he wanted to depose the prince and hurt your family's interests, he plans to fight against me for the rest of his life, right?
He stood up, holding the memorial in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "We have no right to review the memorial of the Prince Shaobao and the Minister of War, let alone seize it. It just so happens that I am going to the palace to see His Majesty, so I will pass this memorial along the way. Submit the memorial to the emperor."
Li Ji and others are indispensable.
Naturally, I knew that Changsun Wuji had other plans, but this memorial had already passed through the eyes of several prime ministers. Even if Changsun Wuji destroyed it privately, it would not help the matter. Fortunately, he followed him.
Changsun Wuji cupped his hands, walked out of the door, and walked away.
*****
Tai Chi Palace.
His Majesty Li Er was drinking tea in Concubine Yang's chamber, and the couple were chatting. Mostly Concubine Yang asked about King Wu's situation in Silla, and then a chamberlain came to report that it was Changsun Wuji who was here to see him.
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Concubine Yang who was very interested in talking about the situation of King Wu, and said: "Then let Duke Zhao come here."
The waiter said goodbye and went out. Concubine Yang quickly ordered the tea sets to be prepared and made another pot of tea.
Changsun Wuji walked in and bowed before him. His Majesty Li Er ordered him to sit under her, and Concubine Yang personally poured tea for Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji hurriedly stood up and thanked him, then sat down again.
His Majesty Li Er asked: "The auxiliary machine is entering the palace at this time, but what is the important matter?"
Changsun Wuji took out the memorial, presented it to His Majesty Li Er with both hands, and said: "The old minister was handling official affairs in the political hall earlier. Fang Jun went to submit this memorial to impeach the old minister. After reading it, the old minister is afraid that there will be some The clerk was confused and lost this memorial, which made the old minister unable to argue, so he went to the palace to present it to His Majesty for reading. "
Your Majesty Li Er looked surprised. Fang Jun impeached you, but you were afraid of losing it and being criticized?
Obviously what he said is not trivial...
He stretched out his hand to unfold the memorial results and read them carefully.
Concubine Yang was on the side, curious in her heart, why did Fang Jun impeach Changsun Wuji? Could it be because Changsun Wuji broke into the Fang family to question Fang Xuanling a few days ago, which embarrassed the entire Fang family? No, after all, although that incident did make Fang Xuanling a lot angry, in the end Changsun Wuji was injured by Fang Xuanling, and Fang Jun even went to Changsun's house and beat up all the children. Suddenly, the palace also knew that this time, Changsun Wuji actually shot himself in the foot, humiliating himself severely.
There are rules above the court, but there are also rules below the rules.
The cause of this incident was Changsun Wuji, but in the end Changsun Wuji was disgraced, so Fang Jun should not be held accountable. They were all members of the highest echelon of the empire, and it was normal for them to fight for power among themselves, but if they were not followed If you don't let the fish die and the net is broken, then it is a taboo.
Just like everyone suspects that Fang Jun assassinated Chang Sun Chong, no evidence is needed. As long as everyone thinks that you did it, they will definitely attack in groups.
Because this is beyond the scope of normal struggle. If everyone does this, who can still sleep?
Everyone is afraid...
Concubine Yang was concerned about Fang Jun and wanted to see something from His Majesty Li Er's face. However, His Majesty Li Er carefully read the memorial in his hand, and the expression on his square face was solemn and did not change much.
Concubine Yang was inevitably worried because she knew that the more angry and intolerable His Majesty Li Er became, the calmer he became.
Obviously, His Majesty Li Er in front of him is like a moment of tranquility before a storm, and what follows is probably a stormy sea with raging anger...
After a long while, His Majesty Li Er finished reading the memorial word for word.
As soon as he casually placed the memorial on the coffee table beside him, Changsun Wuji stood up, prostrated himself on the ground, and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty clearly knows that I am worried about my son, so I impulsively broke into the Duke of Liang's house and ended up with Duke Liang." If there is a conflict, it is the fault of the veteran. I was beaten by Duke Liang and my face was hurt, but I never felt jealous. Instead, I always felt guilty and apologetic. It was just because of my face that I had been struggling for a long time and never went to apologize. Now, I still ask your Majesty to punish me. No matter what the punishment, I am willing to accept it. ”
His Majesty Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji, his face was as dark as water, and without saying a word, he allowed Changsun Wuji to prostrate himself there.
Concubine Yang lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, sitting still, but she felt very contempt in her heart: You broke into Fang's house and got slapped in the face. Who believes that you say you don't hate it in your heart? If it is true that you knew your mistake as you said, but instead of apologizing to Fang Xuanling, you went to His Majesty to ask for punishment...
He is really an old fox, hypocritical and cunning, nothing better than this.
His Majesty Li Er's heart telegraphed: What are you saying now that you shouldn't break into Fang's house? But the problem is that Fang Jun is not pursuing you for the crime of trespassing, but impeaching you for making false accusations... What's the point of you avoiding the truth and making false claims? What to use?
But in an instant, he understood Changsun Wuji’s intention...
I sighed secretly in my heart, there were countless ministers in the court, and the only one who could really figure out his thoughts was Changsun Wuji, and the rest were slightly inferior.
After pondering for a long time, His Majesty Li Er said: "I already know about this matter, but it involves all aspects. I need to carefully consider and weigh the pros and cons before making a decision later."
Changsun Wuji felt relieved and hurriedly said: "Old minister, I obey the order."
His Majesty Li Er asked: "Is there anything else?"
Changsun Wuji said: "There is nothing else to do. In that case, I will leave for now."
His Majesty Li Er nodded, picked up the tea cup next to him and took a sip.
Changsun Wuji immediately stood up, took three steps back, turned around and walked out.
But when he just crossed the threshold, he vaguely heard the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and breaking from the hall behind him...
Changsun Wuji paused, sighed, and continued walking out.
I feel a little regretful...(End of Chapter)
