Chapter 2484 is too late
That night, Changsun Wuji tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night.
The rooster crowed for the first time and it was still dark. Changsun Wuji washed up, had a simple breakfast, and took a car to the gate of Tai Chi Palace. He waited for the palace gate to open and had an audience with the emperor as soon as possible.
It's not that he is impatient, but he knows that Fang Jun will interrogate Chang Sun Guang early today. According to Chang Sun Guang's character, it is probably difficult to endure Fang Jun's punishment for several rounds. Once he pleads guilty and is punished, the consequences will be disastrous.
Sun Guang, a mere eldest son, did not care whether he was dead or alive, but the result was that the Ministry of War's seizure of military trials became an established fact, which he and the Guanlong nobles absolutely could not accept.
Last night he ruled all the families in Guanlong and gathered outside Taiji Palace as soon as possible to meet with the emperor and put pressure on the emperor. It was okay to abandon Changsun Guang, but the power of military trial must not be transferred from Weiwei Temple to the Ministry of War.
As a result, it was almost time to arrive at Mao hour, and he was still the only one outside the Taiji Palace. The rest of the Guanlong nobles who had promised well were not even a shadow...
A strong sense of crisis hit Changsun Wuji's heart.
Could it be that the once powerful Guanlong Group had really become disintegrated and on the verge of collapse?
And when did all this start?
……
The chamberlain had just opened the palace door, and before the guards could stand on their posts, they saw Changsun Wuji waiting outside the door in official robes...
"The Duke of Zhao went to the palace early in the morning, but he wants to see His Majesty?"
"Exactly. Please inform me that I have an important meeting with Your Majesty."
"Well, please wait a moment, Duke Zhao. I will go and report to your majesty right now."
The chamberlain hurriedly returned to the palace. After a cup of tea, he returned and said respectfully: "Your Majesty declares that the Duke of Zhao is here to see you!"
Changsun Wuji nodded slightly and walked into the palace gate.
In the Dragon Palace, His Majesty Li Er had just had breakfast, drank ginseng tea and read the memorials. When he saw Changsun Wuji coming in, he waved to him: "Auxiliary machine, come and sit down."
Then he ordered his chamberlain to pour a cup of his own ginseng tea to Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji stood up to thank him, and then held the ginseng tea, but did not drink it, but asked: "Your Majesty, last night a group of officials from the Ministry of War, led by Fang Jun, went out of the city in the middle of the night to snatch away the prisoners escorted by the Anxi Army. I wonder if your Majesty can Ever known? ”
His Majesty Li Er drank the ginseng tea in the tea bowl in one gulp, clicked his tongue and said, "I've heard about it."
Sure enough...
Changsun Wuji knew that Fang Jun might have dared to seize power from Weiwei Temple so unscrupulously with the emperor's permission or acquiescence.
"Your Majesty clearly knows that military trials have always been under the control of Weiwei Temple, and Weiwei Temple has always been fair and impartial, and has contributed greatly to the improvement of law and order in the military. Now Fang Jun's actions clearly violate the laws of the imperial court. It would be extremely easy to condone them. It triggers a struggle for power between the DPRK and China, and there is such chaos and instability in the DPRK, so we must not be careless.”
He was about to give Fang Jun eye drops, but saw that His Majesty Li Er picked out a memorial from a large pile of memorials on his desk without saying a word, threw it to Changsun Wuji at random, and said: "This is Fang Jun's memorial, auxiliary machine" Let’s take a look first.”
Changsun Wuji quickly put down the tea cup, took the memorial, and read it carefully.
When he finished reading the memorial carefully, his face flushed with anger: "Absurd! Shameless! It is clearly a dirty behavior of fighting for power and gain, but he said it so righteously. This man confuses right and wrong, and calls a deer a horse. It is really a treacherous act. Quality!”
In this memorial, Fang Jun talked about military trials and believed that since the Ministry of War is the highest government agency that controls the world's military, these powers should be controlled by the Ministry of War. If it continues to be controlled by the Weiwei Temple, it will inevitably lead to power and responsibility. The results are inconsistent and unclear.
Especially in the long run, the Guanlong nobles will infiltrate their influence into all aspects of the military, resulting in strong control. Once anyone among the Guanlong nobles has evil intentions, it will definitely lead to extremely serious consequences.
It's just that I didn't say clearly that some of the Guanlong nobles were going to rebel...
His Majesty Li Er, however, ignored Changsun Wuji's anger and asked calmly: "Then what should be done according to the auxiliary machine's wishes?"
Changsun Wuji said: "We are all loyal and patriotic people at Weiwei Temple. How can we become a gathering place for those who conspire to usurp the country, as Fang Jun said? The old minister believes that the power of military trial should still be vested in Weiwei Temple." In charge, after all, many officials of Weiwei Temple followed His Majesty back then. If someone who has been through the mountains of blood on the battlefield is able to snatch this power so easily, it will probably chill the hearts of these veterans. As for Changsun Guang, he must order Fang Jun to hand over to Weiwei Temple as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure that he will be beaten. , a wrong case..."
His Majesty Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji and sneered in his heart.
Those who have fought on the battlefield and wallowed in mountains of blood and corpses? It is better to tell me directly. The top and bottom of Weiwei Temple are the backbone of the Guanlong nobles. That is your private land. If I dare to seize the power of general judicial review from Weiwei Temple and hand it over to the Ministry of War, you must unite and give it to me. Beautiful...
Of course, he would not completely fall out with Changsun Wuji just because of this sentence. In fact, he was also wary of the Guanlong nobles. Even if he had the intention of suppressing him, he just boiled the frog in warm water and took it step by step. He did not dare to push too hard, otherwise Once there is a strong backlash from the Guanlong nobles, the court will immediately fall into turmoil, and even the entire empire will be in chaos.
As for handing Changsun Guang over to Weiwei Temple for interrogation...
His Majesty Li Er pursed his lips, took out a memorandum from the desk, threw it to Changsun Wuji, and said: "The auxiliary machine arrived late. Fang Jun brought Changsun Guang and other prisoners to the Ministry of War last night. Without rest, he started directly Interrogation... This is the confession of Zhang Sunguang and others. The assistant can take a look."
Changsun Wuji was immediately startled. He was afraid that Changsun Guang would not be able to withstand Fang Jun's torture and confessed everything. He was even more afraid that after the case, the Ministry of War would create established facts and take away the right to judge according to the law, so he did not work for a day. Liang came to knock on the door, but he didn't expect Fang Jun to interrogate him all night.
What was even more unexpected was that Changsun Guang confessed so quickly...
He was worried, so he quickly finished the memorial and read it ten lines at a time.
After reading it in a hurry, my heart was a little relieved. Fortunately, although Changsun Guang couldn't stand the punishment and confessed his crime early, he still knew the severity. He only said that he was greedy for military glory, and in a moment of confusion, he killed the scout sent by Gao Zhenxing to Gongyue City. , resulting in the entire army under Gao Zhenxing being wiped out. He did not say that this was an order given by his eldest son Wuji to his children.
Changsun Wuji looked furious and said angrily: "This is simply lawless! Military trials are the power of Weiwei Temple, why has it ever been the turn of the Ministry of War to interrogate without permission? Your Majesty, I think Fang Jun should be severely punished as a warning to others, otherwise we will all All the yamen follow suit, so where is the majesty of the imperial law? ”
His Majesty Li Er did not answer, but once again took out a memorial and handed it to Changsun Wuji: "Fang Jun has already brought this matter to the political hall, and all the ministers and ministers will discuss whether to transfer the power of military judicial review to the Ministry of War. Although he is the emperor, matters related to the empire's laws cannot be decided in one word. It is better to leave them to the political hall. "
At the end, he added: "At this moment, Fang Jun must have arrived at the political hall, or the auxiliary machine, you can go and have a look?"
Changsun Wuji's head was so big that he couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and said, "Old minister, go to the political hall now!"
It's impossible not to go. No one in the current political affairs hall is on the side of his eldest grandson Wuji. Cen Wen has always supported Fang Jun. Xiao Yu is now related to Fang Jun and will support him even more. The new minister Liu Jie is even more supportive. Wearing the same pair of trousers and breathing through the same nostril with Fang Jun. If I were not here, wouldn't it be that whatever motion Fang Jun proposed would be passed by the Political Affairs Hall?
Although he seemed unable to stop Fang Jun by fighting alone, he could not just watch that guy seize the power of military trial from Weiwei Temple, thereby pushing the Guanlong nobles into the abyss of disintegration...
< br>
Looking at the back of Changsun Wuji hurriedly leaving, His Majesty Li Er had no expression on his face, but he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
The Guanlong nobles have always been his staunchest allies. Without the strong support of the Long nobles, how could he, Li Er, be where he is today? But similarly, after he ascended the throne, he also gave back tenfold and a hundredfold. At one time, the entire court was occupied by the Guanlong nobles, and the imperial power turned away from the monopoly.
Even so, these people are still not satisfied.
When he implemented the imperial examination and intended to uproot talents from the people and reuse them, he was even more blatantly opposed to himself.
Perhaps the Guanlong nobles who established three empires single-handedly never realized that they were different from those emperors. (End of chapter)
