Chapter 2810: Attacking in the East and Attacking in the West
Fang Jun coughed and said: "I talked about the problem of His Royal Highness Jin's dereliction of duty, but in fact, this is not a problem."
Neither Changsun Wuji nor Li Zhi believed his lies, and they were all waiting for "but".
Fang Jun looked at their expressions, smiled, and continued: "As Zhao Guogong said just now, His Highness the King of Jin has just appointed the Ministry of War. He is not familiar with the place where he was born. He cannot have a thorough understanding of the internal operations of the Ministry of War. Naturally, he cannot use it as an expert. It means that mistakes are inevitable.”
No "but"...
"But!"
Coming, coming! Everyone was in high spirits.
Fang Jun looked around and said loudly: "Since we know that when a new official takes office, there will be various problems, especially in a military center like the Ministry of War, unavoidable mistakes will lead to extremely serious consequences, we know that there will be major events this year. Large quantities of ordnance need to be transported to Liaodong, and heavy tasks are more likely to cause omissions, but why is the King of Jin still allowed to take charge of the military department? "
Above the main hall, the eyes of the civil and military ministers shone brightly, looking at the impassioned Fang Jun, and then at His Majesty Li Er who was sinking like water on the throne.
This statement obviously means something...
Even His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, mother! Do you think you have a rabid dog? You want to take a bite of it, right?
I originally agreed to let King Jin go to the Ministry of War...
Changsun Wuji also thought that Fang Jun meant this. He stroked his beard and thought about it. He felt that this guy had no respect. It was not impossible to shoot His Majesty Li Er and try to get back his position as Minister of War.
He pondered and said: "The Duke of Yue seems to have something to say, but I would like to advise you that everything depends on evidence. If there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense!"
This is a fierce general.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jun did not accept this trick at all, and sneered: "Evidence? When you impeached me, what evidence did you have?"
Changsun Wuji kept his mouth shut. How many things in this world require evidence? Even if there is evidence, who can tell which one is true and which one is false? Who is willing to tell the difference?
True or false, who is losing or taking advantage, who is snowing in June and who is full of fat, how have you ever paid attention to evidence?
Fang Jun continued: "Your Majesty, I think that the motives of those who advised the King of Jin to take charge of the Ministry of War are really suspicious. As Wei Chen said before, I knew that the King of Jin's entry into the Ministry of War would cause short-term chaos and make a series of major affairs There are mistakes, but why do you still ignore them and insist on going your own way? ? Wei Chen suspected that the initiator of this incident wanted to take this opportunity to cause chaos in the Ministry of War so that he could profit from the chaos, such as stealing a batch of ordnance for personal use, and then shifting all the blame to the King of Jin. , but no one doubts his sinister intentions.”
When His Majesty Li Er heard it, he realized that he wasn't biting me, and he felt relieved.
Then he glanced at Changsun Wuji, it was you who was bitten...
Changsun Wuji said angrily: "Fart! Such cunning words and monstrous words confuse the public, his heart is worthy of death!"
Fang Jun smacked his tongue and said: "Duke Zhao was hit so hard that he became so angry that he became angry? Otherwise, why would he not even let his subordinates speak?"
Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, okay, you say it, I'm listening."
Fang Jun then said: "Chang'an is at the foot of the prince, an important place in the capital, and the control of ordnance has always been extremely strict, because once the ordnance flows into the civilian population, it will cause serious hidden dangers to the security of the capital. And this time the stolen ordnance from the Ministry of War contains Jin Crossbows, heavy armor and even muskets are absolutely not allowed The amount of equipment flowing out of the military camp is enough to equip hundreds or even thousands of elite troops! All of you in the hall are talents who have experienced battles and are proficient in military affairs. How big is it to have such an army lurking in Chang'an City? What does the hidden danger mean? ”
What does it mean? It means it’s enough to change the dynasty!
The number of troops in Chang'an City, including the guards on duty in the palace, does not exceed 10,000. Even if these ten thousand people need to be dispersed into a city large enough to accommodate a million people, the local defense force will be extremely limited.
And a regular army of about a thousand people equipped with heavy armor, powerful crossbows, and muskets, under the careful attack planning and even the guidance of capable personnel, concealed themselves in the dark and launched a brazen surprise attack, which was enough to attack in the time of a cup of tea. Enter Tai Chi Palace.
This is why this ordnance theft incident is taken so seriously.
Jin Wang Li Zhi couldn't help it. He didn't dare to bear this crime, and he couldn't bear it, let alone Changsun Wuji: "Everything said by Yue Guogong is just speculation, and there is no sufficient evidence to prove that this matter has anything to do with Zhao Guogong." Please be careful when speaking about this.”
Fang Jun smiled and asked: "Since His Highness said so, I dare to ask, was it Duke Zhao who tried so hard to persuade His Highness to join the Ministry of War?"
Li Zhi said: "That's just advice, not deception."
The implication is that it is admitted.
It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knows about this matter. If you deny it, something big will happen.
Fang Jun asked again: "Wei Chen asks again, are those messy cargo ships hired from Jiangnan the Duke of Zhao?"
Li Zhi was silent.
This cannot be denied.
Fang Jun kept up his efforts: "My last question is, is it Duke Zhao who strongly advocates the use of privately hired ships to transport ordnance?"
Li Zhi had nothing to say.
If he denied it, all the officials from the Ministry of War would dare to kneel in front of the gate of Taiji Palace and remonstrate with death.
Changsun Wuji's face was gloomy and his anger was hidden.
The ministers held their breath and waited for Fang Jun to launch the final attack.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jun asked again: "I have one thing that I don't understand. Why are thousands of warships of the Royal Navy not being used, but they have to hire private ships? This spring, the Ministry of War designated this transportation plan. It was precisely because of the sufficient number of warships of the Royal Navy that we dared to postpone the time until early winter. Wei Chen did not believe that the officials of the Ministry of War did not inform His Highness of the matter. "
Li Zhi was speechless.
Of course he knew about this, but on the one hand, he was unwilling to ask Fang Jun, and on the other hand, Changsun Wuji said that it would be better to hire private ships, which would only cost more money.
But how dare he say this? If you say it, it will further prove that Changsun Wuji has ulterior motives...
Fang Jun continued to ask: "Then I dare to ask Your Highness, does Your Highness think that the Royal Navy is not enough to complete this transportation task, or do you mean that your Majesty will refuse the Royal Navy to transport these ordnance for the Ministry of War?"
Li Zhi still couldn't speak, he was almost going crazy.
As we all know, although Fang Jun is a tough guy, he is extremely reliable in government affairs and has a broad mind. How can he leave such a large number of ordnance alone just because he was deprived of his position as Minister of War, and consolidate the Liaodong army? Did it affect preparations for the entire winter?
Even if Li Zhi was worried about this, how could he say it? That's too mean.
Changsun Wuji saw Li Zhi being pressed hard and became panicked. He quickly asked: "What on earth are you going to say? Why are you so rude to His Highness!"
Fang Jun sneered: "What I want to say is that you are the one who seduced the King of Jin to join the military department. You are also the one who left thousands of warships of the Royal Navy unused but insisted on collecting ships from the private sector. After the ordnance was stolen, Not only did you not pursue the whereabouts immediately, but you were the one who taught King Jin to shirk responsibility! If you say you don’t have ulterior motives, who would believe it?”
He took a step forward, stared at Changsun Wuji with stern eyes, and asked, "Tell me, what do you, Mr. Zhao Guogong, really want?"
Changsun Wuji said angrily: "What a slander! You are arrogant with red lips and white teeth. You dare to slander a court minister like this without any evidence. Who gave you the courage?"
Fang Jun nodded and said: "What Duke Zhao Guo said is right. All impeachments without evidence are just hooliganism. Previously, when you, Duke Zhao, impeached a subordinate, you could act as a hooligan without any evidence. Now that I am impeaching you, you must have solid evidence before you can speak." Right? No problem, I am a man of integrity and I won’t argue with you and others like you.”
Changsun Wuji was so angry that he trembled all over and shouted angrily: "You are outrageous!"
Fang Jun sneered: "You don't have the final say whether you want to be wanton or not. But since Zhao Guogong wants evidence, then I will give you the evidence..."
At this point, he turned to His Majesty Li Er, bowed his hands to the ground, and said respectfully: "I implore Your Majesty to come down and order the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment to jointly search the residence of Duke Zhao, as well as all the houses and houses under his name!"< br>
Changsun Wuji was filled with anger just a moment ago, but after hearing these words, a chill instantly hit his spine and he couldn't help but shudder!
Mother!
Something bad is going on...(End of Chapter)
