Chapter 2958 is confusing
The aura of an emperor, wealth, dignity, and uprightness. If it is a conspiracy and calculation, they will go astray and fall into the wrong path, which will eventually backfire and cause endless disasters.
Now that His Majesty Li Er was upright and upright, he made some touching words and said that Changsun Wuji had no choice. He knew what kind of person His Majesty Li Er was, so he could naturally see that His Majesty Li Er's words were sincere. The reason why he was not allowed to stay in Chang'an was not only to prevent him from leading the Guanlong nobles to rise up. The purpose of spreading rain is to prevent the monarch and his subjects from having any room for reconciliation in the future.
No matter how determined His Majesty Li Er is to suppress and weaken the Guanlong nobles, Changsun Wuji can be sure that His Majesty Li Er always has the idea of "the king and his ministers can get along with each other and make good stories together" in his heart, and he is absolutely unwilling to wait for Changsun Wuji to leave. On the dead end road that divides the king and his ministers, they have to fight each other and fight to the death.
For His Majesty Li Er, the most important people in the process of getting to where he is today are three people.
Du Ruhui was quick-witted and unparalleled in his decisiveness. Unfortunately, he died early, and His Majesty Li Er was extremely grieved by him. Fang Xuanling was resourceful, steady, and selfless for more than ten years. He was also favored and returned to his hometown with great honors; and his eldest grandson Wuji was Known as "the number one hero of Zhenguan", his meritorious service is unparalleled in the court. His Majesty Li Er also wants a good start and a good end between the emperor and his ministers.
Even the "venomous tongue" Wei Zheng could endure it, let alone his eldest grandson Wuji?
However, if he continues on the current path, he is likely to embark on a road of no return, where the monarch and his ministers will meet each other in life and death...
Changsun Wuji himself knew this, and His Majesty Li Er obviously knew it too.
That's why His Majesty Li Er insisted on forcing Changsun Wuji to conquer Liaodong with him, in order to prevent the conflict between the monarch and his ministers from getting worse.
Even the fact that Fang Jun was assassinated by soldiers last night was not mentioned at all...
Of course, it doesn't matter whether you mention it or not.
Everyone knows who did this, but at this moment, no one wants to make it known to the world and there will be no room for recovery.
His Majesty Li Er understands, and so does Changsun Wuji.
……
"Your Majesty, I have received the decree!"
Changsun Wuji thanked the emperor for his kindness and happily accepted the order to go to Liaodong with His Majesty Li Er to conquer Goguryeo.
Since you can't refuse, why not just obey?
Doing something you know you can't do is a fool...
His Majesty Li Er was very pleased and asked Changsun Wuji to stand up and nodded: "The auxiliary machine will go back to the house to prepare. He will explain everything at home to his children, so that he can go into battle lightly and fight the enemy side by side with me!"
"Here!"
Changsun Wuji accepted the order, took three steps back, turned around and walked out of the imperial study.
Outside the Imperial Study Room, the sky was gloomy, the wind was blowing gently, and it was raining lightly again...
He stood on the stone steps in front of the door, looking gloomily at Fang Jun, who was standing calmly and solemnly under the stone steps. The two looked at each other for a long time. Changsun Wuji met Fang Jun's clear and bright eyes and said slowly: "What happened last night was not my fault."
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Do you believe what I say?"
Fang Jun said calmly: "To be honest, I don't like Duke Zhao. You are too insidious, and many of your plans have no bottom line. You only have family in your eyes, not an empire. But although I have always disliked your character, I Respect your status. When your status reaches your level, there is no need to lie. It will only show that you are getting older and more incompetent. In a short time, you will be nothing more than a dead bone in the grave."
Changsun Wuji's eyelids twitched fiercely, his back molars were clenched tightly, and the flesh of his cheeks squirmed.
Mother!
Fang Xuanling has been a pure, gentle and gentle man throughout his life, and has never spoken ill of anyone. How could he give birth to such a bastard who talks like a knife and a gun?
Originally, his words could convince Fang Jun, and he was a little complacent. After all, this at least showed that his character was guaranteed, and even his enemies could admire him.
But listen to what this bastard is saying?
You have simply belittled me to the point of being worthless...
Fortunately, Changsun Wuji was very deep in the city. Although he was extremely angry, he was able to control his temper and did not explode on the spot. He just looked at Fang Jun coldly, snorted, and walked down the stone steps.
Fang Jun stood with his hands behind his hands and said leisurely: "The reason why Duke Zhao bowed his head in front of so-and-so is that he is afraid that after you go on an expedition with His Majesty, so-and-so will be resentful, so he will be cruel to you princes, right?"
Changsun Wuji stopped, turned to look at Fang Jun, his eyes were unconcealedly sinister, and said every word: "You can do it, as long as I have a hair missing from Erlang, I will make a poisonous oath." , there will be a reward.”
"Haha."
Fang Jun chuckled lightly, not caring at all that Changsun Wuji's hair was about to stand on end. He took a step forward, met Changsun Wuji's eyes, and said lightly: "It's just that Duke Zhao seems to have forgotten one thing. Since someone is trying to If you mobilize soldiers to assassinate someone and put the blame on you, what if you use the same method to deal with the prince and then put the blame on someone?”
Changsun Wuji's eyes narrowed, and Fang Jun had already turned his head, arranged his clothes under the stone steps, and walked into the imperial study.
After standing outside the door for a long time, Changsun Wuji suddenly turned around and walked out.
The drizzle was falling, soaking my clothes and making me feel a little cold.
Chilling to the bone...
……
Fang Jun walked into the imperial study and saw His Majesty Li Er sitting on a chair by the window, slowly sipping tea. He stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty."
"Yeah."
His Majesty Li Er put down his teacup and pointed to the chair in front of him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Fang Jun thanked him and came forward to sit on the chair, but he didn't dare to sit down fully and turned slightly to His Majesty Li Er's side.
In this era, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, how could there be room for ministers to sit in front of the emperor? Either standing or kneeling, ministers are like slaves in front of the king, with no dignity at all...
His Majesty Li Er pointed to the teapot on the coffee table, motioned to Fang Jun to pour some water for himself, and then said: "I will go to Liaodong the day after tomorrow to march personally, while the prince will stay in Chang'an to supervise the country. During this period, your biggest task is It is to assist the Jingzhao Mansion in controlling public security in Guanzhong. The transfer of every soldier must be reviewed and approved by the Ministry of War, otherwise it will be regarded as treason and treason and will be severely punished!”
"Here!"
Fang Jun sat upright and did not dare to pour water. Hearing the words, he quickly agreed, but at the same time he was inevitably confused.
It is impossible for Your Majesty to not know what happened last night. Now that the security of the entire Guanzhong is in his own hands, aren't you afraid that he will use public services to benefit his own interests and avenge his own interests?
His Majesty Li Er seemed to understand what he was thinking. He glanced at him, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water. After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "A small impatience will mess up a big plan. This expedition to Liaodong is a national war and cannot be tolerated." There is a loss, anything is wrong I have to put it aside for now. You are my son-in-law and an important minister of the empire. I have high hopes for you. Even if you suffer great grievances now, you must endure it. When I return from the Eastern Expedition, I will seek justice for you. ”
As an emperor who controls the country, His Majesty Li Er is a sensible person.
He knew how many meritorious deeds Fang Jun had made, and how many grievances Fang Jun had suffered. The several assassinations by Guanlong nobles alone almost killed Fang Jun. However, Fang Jun was able to endure and not make a big fight, just to take into account the overall situation and not affect the smooth progress of the Eastern Expedition.
How could His Majesty Li Er not protect such a loyal minister?
Therefore, he turned a blind eye to Fang Jun's various unworthy behavior and did not care about him. Otherwise, even if this guy went to Princess Changle's Taoist temple yesterday to lure a snake out of its cave, His Majesty Li Er would be so furious that he would have to be beaten fifty times.
Fang Jun said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I know the priorities and will not act out of impulse."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and warned: "It's good if you can remember these words, so that you can assist the prince in supervising the country, and must not cause trouble to affect the Eastern Expedition. Although you cannot go to the Liaodong battlefield in person this time, after the victory, I will discuss No reward for meritorious deeds will be without your share.”
The various forces in the imperial court were in opposition and restrained each other. As a result, Fang Jun and the Royal Navy were unable to gain meritorious service on the front line this time, which was somewhat unfair. However, for the sake of the smooth progress of the Eastern Expedition, His Majesty Li Er compromised on this, but this does not mean that he will always tolerate it.
The charge into the Liaodong expedition was a credit, but assisting the prince in supervising the country to maintain peace in Guanzhong was also a credit?
His Majesty Li Er was satisfied with Fang Jun's attitude, thought for a while, and said: "What happened last night may not have been done by Zhao Guogong. It was too straightforward and simple, not like Zhao Guogong's style. You must be careful not to offend others." The frame-up plan was used as a knife." (End of Chapter)
