Chapter 1447: The Book of the Ministers
That position full of temptation is enough to make everyone willing to do anything to defeat their opponents.
His Majesty Li Er himself has a deep understanding of this matter, at the beginning, Xuanwumen just wanted to open up to Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and others because of his brotherhood, would the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yanjin, Li Jing and others around him agree?
Cutting grass without rooting it is something that a fool would do......
The sound of rain outside the hall was practiced, and occasionally there was a faint sound of thunder, and His Majesty Li Er became more and more impetuous.
In the past, whenever he had troubles, he always liked to come here to find a quiet, although Zheng Guanyin hated him all over the world, but because of this, he didn't have to worry about all the things in his heart, and he could open his heart here.
I already want him to die immediately, so how can I care about anything else about him?
But today, His Majesty Li Er's mood has never been calm, he stared at the sister-in-law in front of him who still has the charm of the country, wondering if he would pounce on her at this moment and tear her clothes, press her delicate body under him and slash her fiercely, venting this full of depression and irritability......
Wang De's voice sounded at the door of the palace: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has entered the palace and returned to you on an errand......"
His Majesty Li Er took a breath, suppressed the boredom in his heart, got up and walked quickly to the door of the hall, and left under the umbrella held up by the chamberlain.
Calm was restored again in the main hall, with sandalwood curling and the sound of rain pouring outside the hall.
Zheng Guanyin turned his head to look at the rain curtain outside the window, and a shallow smile appeared on his beautiful face.
No matter how His Majesty Li Er isolated her news, in this palace built during the former Sui Dynasty, how could no one report to her, the former crown princess?
How the crown prince Li Chengqian, the king of Wei, and the king of Jin are, she naturally knows everything.
The heavy rain was like a note, Zheng Guanyin's thin figure sat upright in the hall, and he just whispered in his heart: Is that day really coming......
*****
Fortunately, the blue bricks laid on the ground were quite good, and the rainwater flowed to both sides after gathering, and poured into the drainage ditch buried at the base of the wall, so there was no water accumulation in the courtyard.
In the duty room, Fang Jun asked the scribe to make a cup of tea, sat down behind the bookcase, drank two sips of strong tea to raise his spirits, and continued to draft the plan of the "Disaster Rescue Command Yamen".
As long as this kind of rain lasts for a day or two, floods will inevitably occur in many places in Guanzhong, and it is possible that the Yellow River will burst its banks again. Once a disaster was in Guanzhong, the command yamen would play its role and send troops to the disaster relief, but the command yamen had just been established, and all the regulations were still blank, so he had to work hard as the chief official.
Taking the opportunity to increase the power of the military department, taking some of the military power is just a convenient one, and Fang Jun's main purpose is to provide disaster relief.
In later generations, thanks to the development of communications, every natural disaster will see long reports on newspapers and television, all parts of the country and even every corner of the world disaster situation is displayed in the eyes of the world, all kinds of disaster relief emergency treatment methods emerge in an endless stream, disaster rescue, disaster resettlement, post-disaster reconstruction, and so on are rapid and powerful, see a lot, and naturally take it for granted.
However, in this era, Fang Jun realized how great the damage of natural disasters was to the people.
Backward transportation, backward communications, and backward production technology have led to many disasters happening in front of our eyes, but we can only watch them with a blind eye.
Houses are falling, rivers are pouring in, corpses are everywhere, and people are miserable......
Accustomed to the later generations of "one side is in trouble and all sides support", accustomed to every natural and man-made disaster, there will be soldiers rushing to the disaster area to rescue as soon as possible, and now this kind of sadness that can only ignore disasters makes Fang Jun unacceptable.
The army is not allowed to leave the defense zone without permission to prevent chaos?
In Fang Jun's opinion, this is pure, the emperor has it every year, everyone takes turns to do it, today it's you, who knows who will be tomorrow? Comparatively speaking, the disaster brought by a coup d'Γ©tat by the army to the people and the country is far worse than the chaos caused by the people who cannot survive.
The former is premeditated and organized, and will be controlled within a certain scale regardless of victory or defeat, while the latter is blind, and once launched, it is also a disaster that affects a whole country......
He does not have the idea of "loyalty to the monarch" that has been cultivated by Confucianism, he can love the country and the people, but he alone will not be "loyal to the king". He admires His Majesty Li Er, is willing to do his best for him, and is more willing to do his best for the Tang Dynasty, but he will definitely not be loyal to his duties and die for the sake of the world with one family and one surname.
At the next duty, the right waiter Guo Fushan walked in, and when he saw Fang Jun sitting on the desk, he lightly put the food box he was carrying on the low table next to the wall, took out the food inside and laid them out one by one, as well as a pot of old wine, and softly instructed the clerk standing on the side to fetch the dishes, chopsticks and dishes.
Fang Jun was alarmed by the sound of squirming, stopped writing and looked up, and saw that it was Guo Fushan, and said in a little surprise: "Why did Guo Shilang come?" β
Early this morning, Guo Fushan scolded his family to come to the yamen to take leave, saying that there were distant relatives at home who came to the door and wanted to stay at home to entertain guests.
Guo Fushan smiled and said: "After all, they are distant relatives, they have not been in contact for a long time, this time they came to Chang'an to do business, so they went to the house to visit their mother, but I have never seen it so big, what do you have to say?" It's probably just that if you can help, you can help, and it's just a matter of fulfilling the affection of your relatives. β
As he spoke, the scribe had already brought the dishes, chopsticks, cups and saucers, Guo Fushan beckoned Fang Jun to come and sit down, patted the mud seal on the porcelain altar, and a sweet and fragrant aroma of wine wafted out.
Fang Jun sniffed and said with a smile: "Brother Guo actually entertained me with the fine wine of my winery?" β
Guo Fushan poured a glass for Fang Jun and praised: "Just now I passed by the gate of Songhe Tower, thinking that Erlang must still be handling official business in the Yamen at the moment, but I, who is a brother, is lazy, and I can't go away, so I ordered someone to clean up a few small dishes in Songhe Tower, and bought a pot of old wine to comfort Erlang." But although Brother Yu knew that this wine was made by Erlang himself, it was one of the few good wines in Chang'an City, so it couldn't be shoddy, right? Just take a little bit and drink it. β
Between the talks, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Guo Fushan has a soft personality, handles things smoothly, no one can be offended, and he is very popular in the yamen of the military department. And Fang Jun is much stronger, although he will not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but he is a person who does not rub sand in his eyes, and he has a bit of a taste of the death of those who follow me and those who disobey me, and the officials are respectful and afraid of him.
The two of them are rigid and soft, but they have been getting along very harmoniously for so many days, plus Liu Zheng and other low-EQ wastes don't even dare to enter the door of the yamen, and the whole yamen is in harmony with the wind and rain, and it is unprecedentedly harmonious.
Especially after Fang Jun won the right to transfer troops for the military department, which was limited but extremely important in nature, the entire yamen looked at Fang Jun as the head, and there was not the slightest discordant sound.
Wine is good wine, food is good food, Guo Fushan is also a famous child, the family history is exported, Fang Jun is even more knowledgeable and has a unique point of view, the two drink slowly, and talk very happily.
Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Guo Fushan drank a little lightly, his face was a little red, and when he saw that there was no one near him, he leaned forward and asked, "I just heard some news at home...... It is said that His Majesty ordered His Royal Highness the King of Jin to thoroughly investigate the matter of Erlang and Princess Changle, and Erlang is not afraid at all? It is said that this matter is just a matter of your affection and my wishes in private, and no one can control it, but now that it is on the table, it is not trivial, if His Royal Highness the King of Jin finds out something, His Majesty's anger is almost inevitable......"
Another person who is lonely and unbearable in gossip......
Fang Jun smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's really nothing, what's there to be afraid of?" β
Guo Fushan blinked and asked, "Really?" β
Fang Jun said: "There really isn't! β
"Oops! I always thought that there was such a thing, Erlang was amazing and brilliant and outstanding, His Royal Highness Changle was gentle and virtuous, and he was really a match made in heaven, but it's a pity, it's a pity...... But even if the two of you are really innocent, don't Erlang care who made this kind of rumor? β
"You know?"
Fang Jun was slightly stunned, it is said that this kind of thing has been circulated among the markets, and it has been spread through the mouths of countless people, and it has long been impossible to survey the source.
"Hehe," Guo Fushan smiled triumphantly and lowered his voice, "This is the news I just heard at home...... What are you doing? His Royal Highness the King of Jin traced this rumor to the source, and actually found the body of a foreign house steward in the Shen Guo Mansion, that is Shen Guo Gong! What is his status and status, how could he do such a boring thing? What's even more amazing is that when His Royal Highness King Jin arrested the steward in the Shenguo Mansion, that guy actually confessed......"
Fang Jun was completely stunned.
That rumor was actually spread by Gao Shilian?
Although it is a little incredible, it is not as high as Guo Fushan thinks, Gao Shilang really has no motive at all, at least "revenge for Shiro's broken leg" is also reasonable, although it really can't stand scrutiny.
After all, with Gao Shilian's prestige status, it is impossible to be so narrow-minded.
However, if someone just wants to get an excuse, then it is completely possible to ignore the rationality of the matter itself, just a big hat to pass, even if Gao Shilian has a hundred mouths, he can't tell.
Your own servant confessed, what else do you have to say......
Fang Jun knew that Gao Shilian was finished.
It seems to be an inconspicuous matter, but when combined with the current turmoil in the DPRK and China, it is enough to produce extremely serious consequences.
It's not that there is anything wrong with Gao Shilian himself, but since the King of Jin has targeted Gao Shilian, it is obvious that the real purpose must be the official position of the official secretary on Gao Shilian's head, and he is guilty......
The Ministry of Officials is known as the first department in the world, and it controls the promotion assessment of hundreds of officials in the imperial court, and its importance does not need to be repeated, and the King of Jin wants to compete for the prince, and the Ministry of Officials is in his own hands, which naturally greatly increases the chances of victory.
The crux of the matter is that since His Majesty Li Er allowed King Jin to thoroughly investigate the rumors, it was naturally equivalent to acquiescing to King Jin taking this opportunity to make some small moves.
Fang Jun sighed slightly, Li Chengqian, the prince, is really sitting on pins and needles......
