Chapter 5091 Fierce and Forget the War
"You are smart and smart, and you are a rare talent, so the general and I both look at you differently and are willing to entrust with important responsibilities. But your personality is a little reckless and lacks calmness. This is a shortcoming. You should pay more attention and not be reckless when encountering things. You should calm down and think carefully and weigh the pros and cons, and then act before you can achieve a career."
Su Dingfang really liked this kid and couldn't help but nag for a few words.
Di Renjie listened respectfully and thanked him repeatedly.
"Okay, I know that you young people don't want to listen to our old people's longing, so I won't treat you to leave. Let's leave quickly."
Su Dingfang waved to expel the guest, but glanced at the other party's round face and couldn't help but nag: "Be careful of your health and eat less!"
How can you be so fat at such a young age?
Di Renjie smiled with a shameless face and said, "The same thing, 'Only delicious food should not be a bad person'! However, the Grand Governor's warning will always be taken as a warning."
"Get out of here! You are sharp-tongued and sharp-mouthed. If you have ten words to wait for you, you will be fat and inconvenient to walk in the future. Only then will you know my good words today!"
It’s not just inconvenient to walk?
A fat person has short strength and weak energy, poor blood vessels, and must not be strong, nor long. In the future, he will be criticized by the delicate lady in the boudoir...
*****
In October, the autumn is clear and cool.
The crops have begun to gradually harvest, the leaves are yellow and the fruit trees are fragrant, and the city palace is filled with the joy of harvest.
Due to continuous huge investment in water conservancy, Guanzhong has thousands of hectares of fertile land and convenient irrigation. Even though the rains in the past two years have too much, there has been no large-scale flood disasters. The grain harvest is year by year. Coupled with the continuous purchase of rice from overseas, Guanzhong's grain prices have always maintained a stable level, and the people's happiness index remains high.
The officials in the court were naturally happy with this political achievement. Under their own rule, there must be a brilliant scene of "rice flowing and corn white, and both public and private granaries are abundant".
The court was full of joy.
However, a memorial from Huating Town broke the peaceful and festive atmosphere, and the government and the country were full of public opinion.
...
In the imperial study room, the court was filled with important officials, which made the floor mat by the window slightly crowded, and the atmosphere was very warm, even filled with a smell of gunpowder...
The censor Liu Xiangdao's face turned red and said angrily: "The navy's domineering has been for a long time. The court and the country have complained a lot, but they have been tolerant of their achievements in opening up routes and escorting sea trade. But this time, it is too much to indulge Duke Yun to start a war without authorization, occupying islands and slaughtering his clan! Let me ask Duke Yue, is this navy still an army of the Tang Dynasty, and is it still ordered by Your Majesty?"
He was very angry and pointed his finger at Fang Jun.
The members of the purple-clothed men all said nothing, but their eyes were all looking at Fang Jun on the left hand of His Majesty.
Fang Jun's skin was slightly dark, his face was handsome, and he sat among the ministers in a purple official robe, looking more and more young and promising.
Sniffing tea, drooping eyelids, he slowly said: "The Censor supervises all officials and asks for punishment and sentences. He should think clearly and speak in a good way. How can he frame or make a fuss?"
Liu Xiangdao was so angry that he said angrily: "How can I frame me randomly, and how can I speak out loud?"
Fang Jun put down the teacup, straightened his waist, and raised his two fingers: "There are two facts."
"First, I am the Grand Marshal of the Tang Dynasty and Duke of Yue, and I have not held any position in the Navy. What about the Navy? What does it have to do with me?"
"Secondly, Duke Yun is the governor of Luzon appointed by the Ministry of Personnel. He is not a general of the navy. Whether he kills people and robs or starts war, what does it have to do with the navy?"
"You can't even tell the responsible party, or you deliberately confuse it, saying that you are randomly framed and slandered is considered light. If you speak more heavily, it would not be an exaggeration to say 'It's like a dog barking', right?"
"Zhu Zi! How dare you bully me like this?"
Liu Xiangdao blushed and furious: "Don't stop me, today I will teach this traitor a lesson. Either he dies or I die!"
The ministers on both sides were speechless. They didn't want to stop him. How could they let him fight in front of His Majesty?
He had to hold his clothes and arms tightly and barely press it on his seat.
Liu Shi was speechless and scolded: "Did the Censor have no respect for His Majesty if he loses his etiquette? If he makes sense, how can he mess around? Are there any rules?"
Liu Xiangdao glanced at Li Chengqian's gloomy face, and then he was reluctant to let him go...
Liu Shi then looked at Fang Jun and said in a deep voice: "We are not holding Duke Yue accountable. This matter has nothing to do with Duke Yue. Even if Duke Yun named the occupied island 'Gaoyang Princess Island'..."
Fang Jun: “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched, speechless, but he had already greeted Zhang Liang's ancestors in his heart.
This move "induces disaster to the east" makes it really good...
Liu Shi paused and continued, "In the opinion of Duke Yue, is it inappropriate for Duke Yun to start the war so well?"
Fang Jun said cautiously: "But because Duke Yun's actions were indeed wrong, but these incidents cannot be summarized. After all, the situation changes at any time, and you cannot blindly prohibit such cases just because Duke Yun's mistakes. You should still give the navy the right to make decisions at the moment. Otherwise, it is tens of thousands of miles away from Chang'an overseas. If you ask for instructions in everything and obey orders at all times, you will inevitably miss the opportunity to fight and cause immeasurable losses."
Right servant Pei Huaijie said, "We will only talk about the behavior of Duke Yun this time. He is so good at starting the war and relying on the benefits of military revolution to kill and fight hard. We should take it as a warning."
The calmer Liu Xiangdao echoed: "Although the imperial army has strong combat power and is invincible in its orientation, we should also keep in mind the words of our ancestors. Even if the country is big, it will be destroyed if we are fighting!"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Fang Jun picked up the teacup again and looked around, feeling something interesting.
Li Chengqian's face was as deep as water, without seeing any joy and anger, and tried hard to look like a master of Yue Zhi. Li Jie always pretended to be deaf and dumb, and ignored the matter without concern to himself. The civil officials led by Liu Shi seemed to have reached a consensus: no matter what, we should define Zhang Liang's affairs.
The purpose of characterization is not to punish Zhang Liang, but to put a shackle on the Tang Dynasty military. You can no longer fight wherever you want or fight wherever you want. All major military advisors must be brought to the court. If you study it carefully, the most important thing is to take into account the interests of all parties.
The military's forces have gradually become larger and have seriously invaded the interests of the civil servant system.
Fang Jun was not concerned about this. Civil officials and military officials have their own interests and demands. Many places are fighting each other. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Civil officials have their own advantages to gain the upper hand, but the military will inevitably have benefits.
The current situation should focus on expansion and seize wealth from all over the world in the shortest time. This is the primary task.
As for stability, development, and elimination of administration, it is something that needs to be considered after wealth has accumulated to a certain level...
Drinking a sip of tea and holding the teacup in his hand, Fang Jun looked at Liu Xiang with a little surprise and said, "Did the Censor bully me and never read a book? You only said 'Although the country is big, it will perish if you are war', why don't you mention it? In your eyes, the army is like a flood and a beast. It seems that as long as the military starts a war, no matter what the reason is, it will be a great crime. I am not interested in quarrel with you. Now you can say in front of Your Majesty and the Minister, "Strictly restrain the Anxi Army and do not start a war without authorization." If you bear any consequences, I have nothing to say."
What is the next sentence of "Although the country is big, it will perish if it is wary"?
"Although the world is safe, forgetting the battle will lead to danger"!
Liu Xiangdao was choked and stared at him. Unexpectedly, Fang Jun gave him a heavy blow here.
Even if he supports the interests of civil servants and wants to restrain the military, he will never dare to say that "restrain the Anxi Army and cannot start a war without authorization". Now the Great Food Kingdom has gathered a large army and is ready to move, and may be able to send troops to the Western Regions in the next moment.
Could it be that when the Dashi army comes to the city of Suiye, the Anxi Protectorate has to send people from all over Chang'an to ask for imperial edicts, and then return to Suiye City after receiving the imperial edict that will be allowed to start the war, so that the Anxi army can go out of the city to fight again?
Moreover, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Even if the Dashi Army attacks and the Anxi Army defends, if the Anxi Army finds the opportunity to fight, it can take the initiative to attack, but it strictly abides by the order of "not to start a war without authorization", resulting in missing the opportunity for the fight?
Pei Huaijie frowned and said, "The saying of 'Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will lead to danger' is correct, but 'Although the country is big, fighting will lead to death' is incorrect? These two famous sayings are important to how to weigh the relationship between 'being war' and 'forget fighting'. The Taiwei only values the latter and ignores the former, and obviously does it on purpose."
Seeing him being aggressive, Cui Dunli asked coldly: "The words of the Right Pushe seem to be somewhat reasonable, but in fact they are just metaphysical and boastful talks. The lower official wanted to ask, according to the views of the Right Pushe, how to take into account both 'being war' and 'forget war'? When will the 'being war' and 'forget war'?"
Many truths are plausible, and many of the sages' words are suspected of being "blocked from both ends". Sometimes they are "the blessings of misfortunes are relied upon" and sometimes they are "the blessings are concealed by misfortunes". The truth is naturally correct, but when applied to reality, it makes people unable to touch them at all.
When is "blessing"?
When is the "disaster"?
When should we "forget the battle"?
When will it be "warlike"?
This is actually a philosophical question.
Pei Huaijie couldn't answer because he found that no matter how he answered, he would fall into the other party's trap and was refuted like a storm...
Some are a bit of a cold situation.
Ma Zhou pondered, "But no matter what, it is always wrong to start the war, drag the country into the quagmire of war, sacrifice the lives of soldiers and consume the resources of the treasury for nothing. War is a major event of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and death. We must observe."
Although he is considered to be the direct line of Fang Jun's sect, he is not independent or follow the crowd, but he always maintains his own position and bottom line. (This chapter ends)
