Chapter 2397 The Great Court Meeting (Part 2)
As soon as these words came out, Fang Jun, who was sitting in the hall, immediately looked at His Majesty Li Er.
From this point of view, the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department has been handed over to Li Chengqian by His Majesty Li Er. Unsurprisingly, it will occupy a position in the Military Aircraft Department. This can be regarded as cultivating the prince's military power in advance. If he is not very satisfied with the prince, he will definitely No such arrangements will be made.
The crown prince's position as the crown prince has become more and more stable. At least His Majesty Li Er is willing to personally support the prince and even train him, instead of letting the prince go his own way and let the brothers fight for it...
Fang Jun was naturally not the only one to understand the emperor's intentions. For a while, everyone had different thoughts and was slightly silent.
The best emperor will strive to balance the interests of the world, but no emperor can truly do this. The demands of ministers are always difficult to balance, and they will form factions to compete for interests and even fight with the emperor. .
If Li Chengqian can successfully take over, most people will naturally be happy, but there will always be some people whose interests will be harmed.
……
Fang Jun seemed to be silent as an old god, but in fact he kept his eyes on Changsun Wuji. When he saw Changsun Wuji wanting to get up, he stood up quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I have my own merits!" < br>
Changsun Wuji, who was still halfway up, was suddenly stunned and almost dodged his waist...
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Fang Jun and twitched the corner of his mouth. He was so high up that he naturally had a panoramic view of everything in the palace. Over there, Changsun Wuji wanted to stand up, and Fang Jun stood up to report. If he hadn't done it deliberately, wouldn't it be possible? Can it be such a coincidence?
This guy is so bad...
He stroked his beard and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Fang Jun didn't care about His Majesty Li Er's slightly displeased tone, and said plausibly: "The prince's words are actually based on the old man's plan for the country. In the past, the military and government of the Tang Dynasty were integrated, and everything was done by the president of the Political Hall, and then submitted to His Majesty for reading and approval. Although the power The responsibilities are unified, but after all, the prime ministers and assistants in the political affairs hall are some distracted civil servants who have never been on the battlefield and are not proficient in military affairs. It is inevitable that they will miss the chance of fighting. , Mounting the horse can control the country, dismounting the horse can stabilize the people, and the generals and ministers are both civil and military. However, the future prime ministers and assistants may not have such experience. How can one understand the cruelty and violence of war and the fleeting opportunity of war by studying a poem and a single article in a book? ? Professional Let the affairs be left to professional people. Civil servants are in charge and military officers are in the army. They are like human arms. They can definitely help your Majesty to control the country and create a prosperous and prosperous world. Therefore, I agree with the proposal of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and seemed to be listening attentively, but in fact he was very disdainful in his heart: You said it eloquently, this is what you asked, so of course you said it eloquently. But if Changsun Wuji hadn't wanted to stand up and start playing, I'm afraid you would have planned to remain silent, right?
He raised his head, looked around at the important ministers, and said slowly: "What do you think?"
What else could the ministers think? Fang Er has finished all the words alone. No matter how much we say, it is just picking up others' wisdom and has no new ideas, so it is better not to say anything.
Then they all said in unison: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is far-sighted and we agree."
His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly. This was to be expected. The establishment of the Military Aircraft Department would separate the military from the political hall, which would be equivalent to adding several hot positions with huge powers and responsibilities. Who could not be upset? What about coveting?
It's unreasonable to object.
"A few days ago, I also discussed with several ministers and ministers. The Military Aircraft Department has temporarily drafted five military aircraft ministers to form a discussion system similar to the political hall. If there are undecided matters, the minority will obey the majority and then report to me. Decision, but I will fully respect the Minister of Military and Aircraft , will not usually change the decision of the Military Aircraft Department. Therefore, the Military Aircraft Minister has a high position and is the pillar of the imperial army. Dear friends, who do you think can serve as these five Military Aircraft Ministers? ”
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
In both the government and the public, there are actually only a handful of candidates who are qualified to serve as the Minister of Military and Aircraft.
Zhang Liang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out to announce: "The ministers recommended Zhao Guogong. He has served the country loyally and made outstanding achievements. He is your Majesty's humerus and is qualified for the job."
His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly and did not comment.
Censor Zhongcheng Liu Jie said: "Wei ministers recommend Hejian County Prince. Hejian County Prince is a famous general of our Tang Dynasty clan. He is also the sibling of His Majesty. He is well-deserved."
His Majesty Li Er's eyes flashed and he remained silent.
"Wei ministers recommended Li Daozong, Minister of Civil Affairs."
"Wei ministers recommended Li Jing, Duke of Wei."
"The minister recommends the British public Li Ji."
"Wei ministers recommended Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie."
"Wei ministers recommended the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Prince Shaobao Fang Jun..."
Um?
There was a moment of silence in the main hall. Everyone's eyes were widened and they looked at Li Ji, the censor Zhongcheng who recommended Fang Jun, in surprise.
Man, did you make a mistake?
Although everyone has never gotten together to discuss this matter, they have already reached a tacit understanding in private. Regardless of whether the "assassination of Chang Sun Chong" was done by Fang Jun or not, they must be twisted into a rope to suppress Fang Jun severely. This achieves the purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Otherwise, everyone will do this in the future, and send people to assassinate anyone who doesn't like it. Do you still want to sleep?
They are all people with status and status, and the struggle for power and profit must be within a certain framework. They cannot act arbitrarily and unscrupulously. Regardless of success or failure, they will end up with good food and clothing. Things like "assassination" must be nipped in the bud and must not be repeated. Happens again and again!
Now you jump out to recommend Fang Jun, what are you going to do?
Changsun Wuji obeyed his duty, stood up and frowned: "No! Now that the case of Quanzi's assassination has not been revealed, Fang Jun is still under suspicion! How can such a person who is suspected of assassination have bad moral character and cruel methods become the minister of the imperial military?"
After saying that, he faced the emperor again and said loudly: "I firmly oppose it!"
With him taking the lead, the ministers expressed their opposition one after another. Li Chengqian stood there and glanced at Fang Jun worriedly. He didn't know why Liu Jie jumped out to recommend Fang Jun. This matter had not been discussed in advance, and he had nothing to do with it. I know that, but looking at the current situation in the court, unless my father firmly supports it, I have no choice but to give up.
Sitting on one side was Wei King Li Tai, who was huge and had his eyes slightly closed, seemingly indifferent to everything.
Jin Wang Li Zhi was a little excited. He didn't expect that Fang Jun was still evil and wanted to covet the position of military minister. He was really wishful thinking...
On the contrary, Fang Jun lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, looking like it had nothing to do with him, showing no emotion or anger.
……
Liu Ji was also in a dilemma. He felt the eyes of a pair of eyes piercing his body like knives. He swallowed and said quickly: "Wei Chen recommended Fang Jun to serve as Privy Councilor of the Military Aircraft Department."
Military Aircraft Department... Privy Council? Not the Minister of Military and Aircraft!
Only then did all the ministers sigh.
Mother!
Are you panting?
I was shocked!
But... what is this Privy Council?
Fortunately, Liu Jie didn't wait for anyone to ask, and said to himself: "The Military Aircraft Department is in charge of the world's military forces and handles emergency military aircraft. The responsibilities are heavy and the affairs are complicated. It is obviously not enough to rely on just a few military aircraft ministers, so we are here." The minister suggested that a number of military aircraft secretaries should be added under the Minister of Military Aircraft to assist the Minister of Military Aircraft in handling military affairs, filling in gaps and fulfilling their duties, which will greatly improve the efficiency of the Military Aircraft Department.”
After saying that, he sat down with a low eyebrow. The task was completed. Even if he was flooded in the future, it would have nothing to do with him.
……
The ministers were resolutely opposed at first. Now that they have formed a tacit understanding, they want to suppress Fang Jun. Even if he is a Privy Councilor of the Military Aircraft Department, he cannot be allowed to serve.
But then I thought about it. Regardless of his status and meritorious service, Fang Jun was already qualified to be a military minister. Now that he was cut off from the promotion path, the resentment in his heart was probably about to explode. Don't let others get it...Who knows if this stick will go crazy?
Everyone was deeply disgusted and fearful of Fang Jun's unyielding hatred.
Then I thought about it again, isn't this Privy Councilor of the Military Aircraft Department the same as the Counselor of Political Affairs in the Political Hall, equivalent to a substitute for the Minister of Military Aircraft? Once the Minister of Military and Aircraft becomes vacant, the Privy Councilor is the candidate to take over!
After all, there are only five ministers of military aircraft in total, but there are not a few who covet this position. It is inevitable that there will be too many monks and too few people. Even though everyone has someone they support, if you can be promoted to the Military Aircraft Department, even if you are just a Privy Councilor, that would be a huge improvement!
How about... support Fang Jun?
It can not only eliminate the resentment in Fang Jun's heart, but also start a discussion. Maybe he can fish in troubled waters and become a privy councilor... (End of this chapter)
