Chapter 2879 Jane in the Emperor’s Heart
There are too many thorns in my heart, and it is inevitable that they will feel uncomfortable when I move. If the pain is too much and I want to just pull out all these thorns... that will be a serious problem.
His Majesty Li Er's power and glory today can be traced back to the night of Xuanwu Gate. However, that night was the pain that he never wanted to mention. No one is born cold-blooded, and his brothers were beheaded one after another in front of him. The splash Even though many years have passed, his blood still often appears in front of his eyes.
So no matter what, the incident of Xuanwu Sect cannot be repeated. Killing brothers, killing brothers, and forcing father to abdicate is enough once again. Once a tradition is formed in the long run, it will be a tragedy for the entire Li Tang royal family, so His Majesty Li Er will never allow it. Then wait until the situation arises.
After pondering for a while, His Majesty Li Er shook his head and sighed: "Let's end this matter. Those Guanlong disciples have indeed gone too far. Chengfan was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which was recommended by me and the Political Affairs Hall. As a result, they are still restricted by those guys, and they are simply lawless. Now, giving them a beating may be able to make them restrain themselves.”
Fang Jun was silent.
How could these be the words of His Majesty Li Er, a wise and powerful warrior who claimed to have done better than Emperor Qin and Emperor Han of Han? The helplessness revealed in his words and expression was unimaginable to Fang Jun. If we put it in the past, regardless of the victory or defeat of his eastern expedition, or the stability of his country, who would dare to defy Li Er?
Cut it off first and then talk!
Seemingly aware that his dejected expression was detrimental to the emperor's majesty, His Majesty Li Er changed the subject and said: "After the Chinese New Year, you can go back to the Ministry of War. You will still be your Minister of War and assist the King of Jin in handling the affairs of the Ministry of War." Affairs. The Eastern Expedition is imminent. This is a national war. There is absolutely no room for mistakes. You must help the King of Jin to prepare the army properly. If there are any omissions, you are the only one to ask!"
Fang Jun was speechless.
You can just let me go back to my post and resume my duties, but what's the point of still putting the King of Jin in the Ministry of War? There are no two days in the sky and no two masters among the people. A government office can only have one person in charge. There are many political issues and unclear orders. Isn't this just waiting for a fight?
Forget it, after all, the King of Jin entered the military department with great fanfare, but if he walked away in despair to make room for his Fang Jun, it would definitely affect his own prestige. You are a father and you dote on your son, we can understand it.
But why should I be the only one to ask questions when there are omissions?
Isn’t this bullying...
Seeing Fang Jun staring with dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction, how could His Majesty Li Er not know what he was thinking? Immediately he said angrily: "Pheasant slave lacks experience. Once the Eastern Expedition begins, he may not be able to bear the heavy pressure that the Ministry of War will bear. You are both a minister and a brother-in-law, shouldn't you help me? As for if there are any omissions, only Are you asking... Humph, if I hadn't warned you like this, I'm afraid I would have been so tricked by you that I wouldn't even be able to cry, and I would have to bear all the blame in less than two days!"
He is very aware of Fang Jun's ability. He can still control the Ministry of War from the outside. If he returns to the Ministry of War, who will be his opponent?
If I didn't give him some advice, I would have killed him...
Fang Jun was dissatisfied and cried out: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I am a pure and upright person with a clean and clear sleeves, and I am not a sinister person like Changsun Wuji. How can I do such dirty things with privacy? Your Majesty has wronged me!" ”
His Majesty Li Er stared at this guy, his eyelids twitching with anger.
Integrity and uprightness?
You are full of evil. I can’t figure out how you tricked me into getting a large number of weapons. I am so scared that I am out of my mind. Don’t I know that?
Breeze on both sleeves?
Oh, this is probably true. This guy has a lot of money and is known for his ability to turn stone into gold. He must not despise the small amount of money and food in the yamen, and he must be disdainful to use it for his own use at the risk of being accused of corruption. ……
He immediately said angrily: "Whether you want to come back or not, there are countless capable ministers in this dynasty. If I appoint one of them at will, why can't I assist the pheasant slave? Do you really think that the Ministry of War will not be transferred to you if you leave it?"
Fang Jun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood Wei Chen. Wei Chen is thinking about how to better assist His Highness the King of Jin... Naturally, he is willing to go back to the Ministry of War."
A man cannot lose power for a day. He is outside the Ministry of War. Although he still has influence, it is separated by a layer. As time goes by, no one can guarantee that it will not cause people to lose heart.
No one's loyalty can be tested.
Besides, there is no vacancy in the court at the moment, there is a carrot and a pit, and I have nowhere to go. How can I not return to the Ministry of War?
His Majesty Li Er then nodded, but still warned: "After the Eastern Expedition, I will consider the whereabouts of the pheasant slaves, but in the meantime, don't make any mistakes that will affect the Eastern Expedition plan. You can take care of it yourself." Get ready and go to Qiongzhou to take up your post. Don’t blame me for being unkind.”
Fang Jun replied respectfully: "I naturally know what is important and what is minor. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best to manage the affairs of the Ministry of War, and there will never be any omissions that will affect the progress of the Eastern Expedition."
"Well, I can rest assured that you are doing things."
His Majesty Li Er said something, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He then glared at Fang Jun and frowned: "Someone in the clan mentioned Changle's marriage again, but Changle still refused. Even with my sincere persuasion, What do you think of this girl?”
Fang Jun broke into a cold sweat and forced himself to calmly say: "His Royal Highness Changle has always had opinions and a firm mind. It is true that he cannot be easily shaken, and even the humble ministers are powerless."
How dare he say more?
His Majesty Li Er mentioned this matter to warn him to keep a distance from Princess Changle, otherwise if Princess Changle is unwilling to get married because of him... Hum, Qiongzhou is still a bit close, maybe the beautiful scenery of the ice-covered Beihai is even more Suitable for some...
His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly, his face was gloomy, and he showed no signs of joy or anger, making it unclear what he was thinking.
Fang Jun was frightened and said cautiously: "Wei Chen suddenly remembered that when he left home, his father told Wei Chen to go to the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion to deliver New Year's gifts. If Your Majesty has nothing else to do for the time being, would Wei Chen resign first?"
< br>
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows: "Why, staying with me makes you so bored that you can't wait to stay far away?"
"..."
Fang Jun sweated profusely.
As a minister, how can you refuse the opportunity to get close to the emperor? I don’t know how many people dream of having such an opportunity, but I don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is. But the problem is that you, old man, don’t open which pot and which pot you don’t lift. You’ll probably get on fire if you lift it...
Then can I have a good son?
Of course, you would never dare to admit it. Wouldn't it be courting death to admit that you want to run away? He could only apologize and said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. The respect I have for Your Majesty is like a torrential river, endless. I just feel that no one among the emperors in the past can compare with Your Majesty. Even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have a little less meritorious service, and the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty have a little less virtue." …”
His Majesty Li Er almost vomited...
He said angrily: "Go away, go away! Mother! Fang Xuanling has been an upright and gentle gentleman all his life, how could he give birth to such a flattering person like you? Even those like Zhao Gao and Zhang Rang are even more disgraceful than you. Quite a few!”
Fang Jun immediately said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty has thousands of miles of experience and knows everything. If you say something else, I can only accept it happily and will not dare to disobey him in the slightest. But I am a good man of the Tang Dynasty, and he is full of virility and masculinity." How can he be compared with those eunuchs? What’s more, every word spoken by a humble minister comes from the bottom of his heart, and only one word of lies comes from his heart. His admiration for Your Majesty also comes from his heart, and he is sincere and loyal..."
His Majesty Li Er quickly raised his palms and said angrily: "Are you going away or not? If you dare to make noise in front of me again, believe me or not..."
Before he finished speaking, Fang Jun bowed quickly and said, "I respectfully obey your Majesty's will and will be resigning now."
He took three steps back, turned around and ran away.
His Majesty Li Er was so angry that his beard stood up straight, and he wanted to curse, but he was afraid that there were many maids outside. He always wanted to maintain the majesty of the emperor, but the anger in his heart could not be dissipated without a few curses.
After holding it in for a long time, he suddenly laughed again.
"Wang De!"
"The slave is here."
Wang De, who had been outside, heard the sound and trotted in quickly, bowed and said: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then said: "Go and pick out some exquisite items from the internal funds and send them to Princess Gaoyang. Call them my New Year's gift to her."
"Here."
Wang De accepted the order and hurried out to follow the order.
His Majesty Li Er picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He found that the tea was already lukewarm, so he put down the teacup and turned to look at the window on one side.
The cold wind was blowing outside the window, and there was still unmelted ice and snow on the treetops in the corner.
Winter has arrived and spring is not far away. (End of chapter)
