Chapter 4038 is inexplicable
In the Wude Hall, everyone looked at Fang Jun with confusion. This guy first submitted his resignation, which caused the current turmoil, but then he turned around and sincerely admitted his mistake. It was simply inexplicable...
His Majesty Li Er couldn't figure out Fang Jun's tricks. He frowned and looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What do you mean?"
Fang Jun bowed and said: "Your Majesty is so wise and powerful that the ancient emperors cannot match it. It is under your protection that billions of people in the world have been able to enjoy long-term peace and prosperity, and have adequate food and clothing. They should be grateful and grateful. Even the humble ministers have won your majesty's love and cultivated them all the way." Only with support can we achieve today's achievements, but I don't know how to sympathize with His Majesty's difficulties, and only care about my own mood, likes and dislikes, which has led to the current divergence of public opinions and undermined His Majesty's majesty. He really deserves death... I kindly ask Your Majesty to allow me to withdraw my resignation. From now on, I will serve Your Majesty as hard as I can and devote myself to the world. ! ”
After saying that, he lifted up his clothes and knelt down on the ground.
These words were spoken with sincerity and true feelings. They looked and sounded like they were sincerely repenting and feeling guilty...
His Majesty Li Er was choked. His original anger had not dissipated much, but he found that it was already difficult to severely punish this bastard who had caused him to be slandered by public opinion.
If such a meritorious minister sincerely admits his mistakes in front of him, if he chews it out and then severely punishes him, wouldn't it be true for the rumors among the people of the city that "those who have meritorious service are treated harshly"?
He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he had not felt as depressed as he was now for a long time. He was in a dilemma...
Xiao Yu and Cen Wenwen looked at each other, coughed dryly, and said: "Your Majesty, it is clear that although Duke Yue's previous resignation was a bit reckless, he is still young after all. Sometimes he will inevitably think poorly, and his behavior may be more likely to be affected by his mood. Now that I realize my mistake, I should give it a warning and then let it go.”
Fang Jun glanced at Xiao Yu, this old guy is so sinister...
What does "behavior and behavior affected by mood" mean? It is clear that the reason why he submitted his resignation was because he had been seized of military power by Guo, so he was dissatisfied with His Majesty, and he did this impulsively... Is this to help Fang Jun get out of the siege and give His Majesty a step forward?
The king is the guide for the ministers. To the ministers, "Thunder, rain and dew are the king's favor." If the king demotes you, you will be dissatisfied. If you are punished, will you have to rebel?
Heartbreaking words.
Fortunately, Fang Jun did not fight alone in the court. He did not need to say a word. Li Daozong, who had been silent all this time, said: "Zhenguan Academy was founded by the Duke of Yue after he petitioned His Majesty. He devoted countless efforts and energy to it. Now it has been destroyed by the war." ,break He was so anxious that he wanted to step down from his post and focus on the construction of the academy. However, from Wei Chen's point of view, the Duke of Yue has just passed his prime and is full of energy and can take on more important responsibilities. "< br>
This was regarded as a rude blow to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu's gray eyebrows twitched, but he didn't speak.
Liu Jie on the side did not hesitate to show his presence: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you should act decisively."
His Majesty Li Er sneered, "Qian Gang is arbitrary?" I was acting arbitrarily before, but you, a bastard, actually rejected my imperial edict... Mother!
Even though Liu Jie tried hard to reverse the impact of the refutation of the imperial edict, His Majesty Li Er was obviously getting angrier the more he looked at him, and ignored him. He just stared at Fang Jun for a while, and then slowly said: "I have always treated you. Love, and you have never let me down. Now that I have realized my mistake, how can I blame you? Okay, this matter is over, do things with your heart in the future, and don’t let me worry about it.”
He knew that this was Fang Jun's strategy of retreating in order to advance, but what could he do even if he knew? Compared with reprimanding and contacting all his positions, his own reputation and prestige are the most important, and this is where Fang Jun relies on his conspiracy.
The ministers in the palace had different thoughts, and they all understood that Fang Jun's operation not only preserved his current status, but also made it more stable than before. At least after His Majesty expressed his position in public, he could no longer arbitrarily deprive Fang Jun of his official position and power.
The situation seems to have reached a balance.
Of course, balance means stagnation, which means that the current interests have reached a stable state, while the interests of some people can only be found in turmoil...
Just when everyone thought that today's discussion had come to an end, Li Ji suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Duke Qiao was attached to King Jing, and was accidentally injured by the right guard, which led to the complete defeat of the left guard. So far, there are less than three or four soldiers out of ten. Unable to assume the responsibility of guarding the Xuanwu Gate, I sincerely request your Majesty to appoint someone to take over the post of General Zuo Tun Wei and reorganize the Zuo Tun Guard to ensure the safety of the Xuanwu Gate.”
There was a moment of silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Li Ji in surprise. Li Ji lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. After saying these words, he returned to his previous state of silence.
As we all know, the left and right guards were reorganized after His Majesty ascended the throne and were stationed outside Xuanwu Gate to guard the palace. At present, only the right guards have strong horses and horses, and the left guards have been completely defeated.
For the security of the palace, balance is the key. The left and right guards protect each other and restrain each other, so as to ensure the safety of the palace. Li Ji now mentioned that the Youtun Guards needed to be reorganized and put into full use. Was it to remind His Majesty that the Right Guards should not be trusted and that long-term garrisoning at Xuanwu Gate would lead to unexpected changes, or was he trying to deploy people to seize the position of "General Zuo Tunwei"?
Then just look at who proposes this candidate next...
His Majesty Li Er sat firmly as a mountain, looked around, and when no one said anything, he nodded and said: "The British Lord has thought carefully, as he should. I just wonder if the British Lord has anyone he likes who can take up this responsibility?"
< br>
Li Ji shook his head: "Zuo Tunwei suffered a defeat, the people were separated, the army was extremely short of generals, and morale was low and it was extremely difficult to recover. It is not easy to restore the former glory."
This is true. The Zuo Tun Guards are stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate. They not only have to be horns with the Right Tun Guards, but they also have to contain each other. However, the Right Guards had strong horses and strong fighting power. They fought many battles without losing a single battle. Even half of the Right Guards defeated the Left Guards and the royal army and were defeated. With such a disparity in strength, how could this be achieved? The purpose of controlling balance?
Now that the Zuotunwei has fallen apart, it is not difficult to rebuild it, but after reorganization, it is even more difficult to compete with the Youtunwei.
Several ministers who wanted to take the opportunity to recommend their own people held back. The position of General Sixteenth Guards was indeed tempting, but General Zuotunwei was like a fire. Whoever sat on it would feel uncomfortable. Maybe not only If you do nothing, you will be scolded by His Majesty and your future will be ruined.
His Majesty Li Er looked at everyone again: "If you have any suitable candidates, no matter how loud you are, you may wish to recommend them and let us discuss them together."
The ministers all shook their heads. This choice was really difficult.
We even filtered all the Zhenguan nobles one by one. Those people did have great military exploits and outstanding abilities, but now they either hold important positions, are old, or have died long ago, and there is no suitable one.
As for the younger generation of generals in the army, those who stand out are almost all trained under Fang Jun...
Seeing that everyone was speechless, His Majesty Li Er said: "The safety of Xuanwu Gate is more important than Mount Tai, and the Zuotun Guard is even more important. We must choose a person with outstanding ability and the ability to serve everyone. Commander of the Royal Navy Su Dingfang, what do you think?”
"..."
The ministers were startled at first, and then looked at Fang Jun together.
In the past few years, Su Dingfang served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. He led the Royal Navy across the sea and was invincible in the seven seas. His troops were raging in countries in the East and Southeast Asia. Not only did he bring out the great power of the Tang Dynasty, but he also made the trade routes of the Tang Dynasty more convenient for the world. Almost everyone involved All the members of the Haimao family knew the power of the navy, and even more so, the abilities of Su Dingfang.
But everyone also knows that Su Dingfang, as a disciple of Li Jing, was implicated by Li Jizhi and suppressed for many years, and has been depressed. It was Fang Jun who single-handedly trained him to become the first commander of the navy, and he was truly "the man in the middle" of Fang Jun.
Youtunwei was reorganized by Fang Jun, and everyone in the army was his loyal subordinates. Even if Li Daozong takes over, Fang Jun's influence will never be reduced too much in a short period of time. If Su Dingfang, a direct descendant of Fang Jun's confidant, were to reorganize Zuotunwei... wouldn't the Xuanwu Gate allow Fang Jun to come in and out?
If this suggestion was made by someone else, some ministers would probably jump up and scold him, saying, "It's so heartbreaking." Will you let His Majesty the Emperor sleep?
But at this moment, His Majesty Li Er himself proposed it, so naturally everyone was surprised and confused...
Even if he wanted to continue Guo Dufang Jun's control over the navy, he could place Su Dingfang elsewhere, even if he was promoted to a high position, so why put him outside the Xuanwu Gate?
When His Majesty Li Er saw that no one answered, he looked at Fang Jun and asked, "What does the Duke of Yue think?"
Fang Jun pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Su Dingfang is mature, prudent and capable, and will definitely be qualified for the post of General Zuotunwei. In addition, in the past few years, he has led the navy to conquer the east and south, conquered countless foreign countries, and opened up the sea for the Tang Dynasty. The territory is more than tens of thousands of miles? In addition, during the previous Eastern Expedition, the navy was not only responsible for the logistics and transportation of the army, but also contributed to the battle. Their military achievements were outstanding and their hard work was high, so they should be promoted."
His Majesty Li Er asked again: "If Su Dingfang is transferred back to the capital and is responsible for the reorganization of Zuotun Guards, who should be in charge of the Royal Navy?"
Fang Jun replied: "Liu Rengui, the deputy general, is qualified for the job."
His Majesty Li Er was noncommittal and asked the ministers: "Do you have any suggestions for the candidate for the Navy Commander?"
All the ministers shook their heads. There must be suggestions, but what's the use of putting them forward? Compared with Youtunwei, the Royal Navy was built by Fang Jun. Everyone from top to bottom obeys orders. Even if a coach is parachuted in, he will be lifted up and lifted up. The sea is vast and there are countless pirates. When will we go to sea? It is possible to feed fish and turtles in one trip...
The navy can only be Fang Jun's navy. Even under the banner of "royal", even His Majesty can't get involved at all. (End of chapter)
