Chapter 2869 King Jin is anxious
When the news of Fang Jun's horseback attack on the imperial city and the attack on the officials reached Taiji Palace, His Majesty Li Er was sitting in the palace of Ganlu Palace drinking tea and talking with Jin Wang Li Zhi who came to pay his respects. Accompanying him were the two princesses Changle and Jinyang. Your Highness.
When I first heard the news, there was a moment of silence in the palace.
Riding horses in the imperial city, attacking the officials... This would have seemed like Fang Jun's style a few years ago, but in the past two years, as he grew older and was promoted in official positions, Fang Jun has gradually shown himself to be a steady image, making people feel confused. People feel as if time has not passed and things remain the same.
Chang'an is still the same Chang'an, and the stick is still the same...
Li Zhi's eyelids twitched several times, and he squeezed out a smile and said: "Brother-in-law is really straightforward... Haha. It's just that this imperial city is a place where government offices are concentrated, and all the important officials of the court come and go. If he is accidentally injured, not only... The loss of the empire will make the outside world spread rumors. Besides, the imperial city is only separated from the palace city by a wall, so galloping in disregard of the law..."
Halfway through his words, he felt his sister Princess Changle's eyes sweeping across his face. Although the ferocious murderous aura hidden in the calmness was not released, he was so frightened that Li Zhi hurriedly swallowed the second half of the words and almost bit his own cheek. Tongue.
Oddly enough, he was not afraid of his rather majestic elders such as the Prince, King Wei, and King Wu, but he was frightened and frightened of the eldest sister from the same mother. He would never dare to smile playfully. .
So I still feel embarrassed when I speak ill of Fang Jun in front of Princess Changle and wear small shoes for Fang Jun...
Not only that.
Princess Changle was stable after all. Although she was unhappy in her heart, she just glanced at him to give him a warning. However, Princess Jinyang frowned, wrinkled her delicate nose, and said displeasedly: "A gentleman seeks for himself, while a villain seeks for others." , Ninth Brother talks about people’s rights and wrongs behind their backs, and is not a gentleman.”
A gentleman always blames himself and looks for his own shortcomings, while a villain looks at the mistakes of others.
The little princess was most protective of Fang Jun, her brother-in-law, and would never allow others to speak ill of him in front of her father, not even the ninth brother she had grown up with.
Li Zhi was a little embarrassed and said: "Those who speak are not guilty, but those who hear are enough to be warned."
Those who criticize are not guilty. On the contrary, if you hear criticism from others, you should carefully reflect on yourself, correct it if you are wrong, and take it as advice if it is not wrong.
Princess Jinyang was undaunted and aggressive: "Every villain's fault will be punished!"
This is a sentence in "The Analects of Confucius", which means that villains never admit their mistakes and will only cover them up with various excuses.
Li Zhi was so angry that his face turned red. Little girl, are you reading so many books just to quarrel with your brother-in-law and my brother?
His Majesty Li Er watched the pair of daughters bickering in amusement. He was delighted with Si Zi's quick thinking and sharp tongue, and was pleased with Li Zhi's humility and friendly brotherly demeanor.
If the fight continues, how can Sizi be the opponent of the pheasant slave who is well-read in poetry and books and extremely intelligent...
He has gone through countless struggles in his life, with open and covert attacks, and step by step he has reached the achievements he has today. What kind of things have he not seen? The reason why he didn't pay attention to Fang Jun's so-called imperial city horseback attack on the officials was because he saw through Fang Jun's intention at a glance.
The world says that Fang Jun is a "stick" who behaves arbitrarily and lawlessly, but His Majesty Li Er understands that all these are just Fang Jun's appearance. In fact, this guy knows very well when to stand up and fight, and why? At this time, you should bow your head, be humble and say nothing, and be sure of yourself.
Behind every seemingly arrogant and reckless appearance, there is actually this guy's accurate calculation...
This time he wasn't going to interfere.
One is because the Ministry of Civil Affairs has always been the foundation of the Guanlong nobles, and it is run like a monolith. It is basically difficult for outsiders to break in. The dignified "No. 1 Ministry in the World" is controlled by one force, which is not a good thing for the court. .
This is the same as the reason why he agreed to Li Zhi to go to the Ministry of War, using a chess piece to break the original monopoly. As for the final result, it depends on each person's ability.
Furthermore, when it came to the battle for the reserve, he was no longer willing to interfere and forcefully paved the way for Li Zhi.
After all, the prince is still the crown prince of the country. He cannot support Li Zhi unprincipled all the way. They are all his sons, so at least the bottom line must be met.
But Li Zhi was panicked.
Since going to the Ministry of War, he has thoroughly seen Fang Jun's power. This man was not in the Ministry of War, and as a result, everyone from top to bottom followed him. Even though he, a prince who might become the crown prince, served as the chief officer of the Ministry of War, he still could not bring these people under his command. This shows that Fang Jun is capable of manipulating people's hearts. Super strong indeed.
If he is allowed to stir up trouble in the official department, and with the cooperation of Li Daozong, can he pry a crack out of the monolithic official department, causing gaps in the control of the Guanlong nobles?
He failed to conquer the Ministry of War as planned. On the contrary, if someone else loses the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the support of the Guanlong nobles will be greatly weakened. This is not a good thing...
After thinking for a while, he did not dare to look at Princess Changle. He turned his head to look at His Majesty Li Er and said, "Although this matter has nothing to do with you, there are laws in the imperial city. If you trample on them arbitrarily, it will not only be unfair, but also unfair." The majesty of the law has been lost, and the attack on the central government office is even more unbearable. The father should punish him. "
He didn't expect his father to really do anything to Fang Jun, but as long as his father spoke up and punished him, it would be enough to dampen Fang Jun's arrogance and annihilate the morale of the prince's family that was trying to improve.
Princess Jinyang said angrily: "How can Ninth Brother stir up trouble like this? It's just that the horse is running badly. What's the big deal?"
Li Zhi said: "It's more than just riding a horse to make it more fun? The official department is the head of the six departments. He rode his horse and kicked down the gate. This is already a great disrespect and should be punished."
"Hmph! Since you have said that the Ministry of Personnel is so important, how could your brother-in-law not know about it? There must be a reason for him to do what he did even though he knew it! Maybe the officials in the Ministry of Personnel are corrupt and cheating? You should Investigate the cause and effect in advance, and then speak out to remonstrate with your father, instead of just sitting here and making trouble based on your imagination!”
Princess Jinyang argued hard.
Li Zhi was so angry that his face turned black...
It is said that girls’ elbows are turned outwards, but you turned your elbows so arrogantly, how can you make me, a brother, feel so embarrassed?
It's simply too much!
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Princess Changle, who was silent but clearly condoned Princess Jinyang's behavior. He sighed and quickly tried to stop the fight: "How can you two, two compatriots from the same mother, criticize each other so mercilessly?" ? Sizi, please stop talking, Pheasant slave, don’t be as knowledgeable as her. ”
Princess Jinyang was immediately dissatisfied, knelt down on the floor, and protested angrily: "Father, I favor Ninth Brother! You always teach us to be 'gentlemen magnanimous', but Ninth Brother not only talks about others behind their backs, but also talks about others in front of you. I don’t accept this slander!”
Li Zhi was so angry that his head hurt.
What is "slander"?
Why is it "slanderous"? !
It’s simply unreasonable!
At the same time, he was also secretly anxious, knowing that his father loved Sizi the most and had no intention of pursuing Fang Jun on this matter. So if the Guanlong disciples wanted to defend the position of the official department under Fang Jun's fierce attack, it would be difficult for them to do so. It's very difficult.
Even if the position is not lost, if someone knocks on the door and beats him, the entire Guanlong will be disgraced, and this will naturally affect the camp that currently supports him as the Jin Dynasty.
Morale is something that can only be boosted but not vented. Once it is vented, it will be very difficult to improve it again.
The result was as he expected. His Majesty Li Er was amused by Princess Jinyang's words and burst out laughing. He stroking his beard and beaming with joy: "Slander? Haha! If the living man listens to these words, it will be recorded in the "Living Notes", you Ninth Brother is afraid that he will have to bear the burden A treacherous remark will be passed down to future generations! Okay, how about my father promising you that he will never interfere in this matter? If Fang Jun violates the law, only Yushitai and Dali Temple can manage it, not my father. Don’t ask.”
Princess Jinyang suddenly broke into a big smile and said with a sweet smile: "Father is the best!"
Li Zhi, however, was full of bitterness and couldn't sit still. He saluted and said, "Father, I remembered that there were still some affairs in the house that needed to be dealt with, so I resigned first."
Naturally, His Majesty Li Er would not stop him and waved his hand casually: "Just go on your own."
But after thinking about it, he added another warning: "When I went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs today, I must have planned an escape route. Don't let him come and be humiliated. Since my father said he would not care about this matter, then no matter what No matter what happens, I won’t interfere anymore, just take care of yourself.”
Li Zhi originally wanted to rush to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and stand in front of Fang Jun with his dignity as a prince, forcing him to either give in or provoke him. As long as he gets involved, if Fang Jun dares to be a little disrespectful, at least Zongzheng Temple will be able to take care of him, which will also give the people in the official department a chance to buffer.
As a result, my father revealed it...(End of Chapter)
