Chapter 940: News from the Western Regions
Su Shichang smiled silently, thinking about what he wanted, slandering the king would be killed......
However, he has always been close to His Royal Highness the Prince, and in the past, he was resentful and the prince insisted on being close to Du He, Li Anyan and other close ministers, so he was extremely disappointed in his anger, but after the prince was uncharacteristically diligent in his work and showed respectful obedience to Zhang Xuansu, Yu Zhining and other emperors, he happily re-entered the East Palace.
Therefore, it is always necessary to mention the crown prince, and not to be confused by the "helpless" posture shown by His Majesty.
"Your Majesty is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, a rare saint in the ages, every word and deed has a deep meaning, every move has a layout, how can you be helpless above the court, and be swayed by those self-righteous family valves?"
Su Shichang smiled slightly and said in a low voice.
If you talk about the understanding of Your Majesty's temperament, there is nothing more than them in the world than the "Eighteen Scholars of the Qin Palace" who have served left and right since His Majesty was still the King of Qin. His Majesty today seems to be a man of temperament, but in fact, the art of power and scheming has already reached its peak, who can force him to do what he is not willing to do?
The most typical thing is the "Xuanwumen Change" of the year, and the whole world knows that it is because His Majesty was cornered by the hidden prince Li Jiancheng and the nest king Li Yuanji and had to fight back angrily. Although this move is unkind and unfilial, everyone in the world understands this, after all, no one can say that if you are a brother, you have to let your brother wantonly slaughter and not fight back, right?
Therefore, an act that can be called a great rebellion has been tolerated to the greatest extent.
But what is the truth?
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are certainly forcing each other step by step to eradicate the grass and eradicate the troubles forever, did not His Majesty Li Er take every step of the way, retreat into advance, and constantly show his grievances and forbearance to the world, and the final counterattack is just the impression of helplessness?
His Majesty Li Er did what he did right, but the situation at that time was that either you would die or I would die, and there was no retreat or concession. However, His Majesty Li Er has always shown the enemy weakness and has always made compromises, but it shows the profundity of his power and scheming skills.
This is not an idea from the wise men around him, it is completely operated by His Majesty Li Er himself.
Although Li Chengqian is a little bad at calculation and planning, he is not a fool, when Su Shichang said this, he also felt the strangeness in it, and after a little thought, he guessed the purpose of His Majesty Li Er.
In the final analysis, although the opposition of the family gate valve forced His Majesty Li Er to retreat slightly, His Majesty Li Er's contribution still accounted for the majority......
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Sailor Academy? ”
Su Shichang smiled happily and nodded with satisfaction, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could have such a keen mind, he was extremely pleased. Not only is the thinking keen, proficient in government affairs, and has a temperament to treat people with generosity, this is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty!
"Lao Chen doesn't know what the specific charter of this Sailor Academy is, but His Majesty summoned Fang Jun back to Beijing and ordered the Sailor Academy to be relocated from Jiangnan to Guanzhong, which shows His Majesty's attention. The reason why His Majesty recalled Fang Jun along the river, in the opinion of Lao Chen, is actually mostly for this sailor school. ”
Li Chengqian explained: "This is a plan proposed by Fang Jun, every officer in the naval division must receive a strict education in water warfare, the school period is two years, and those who fail the examination will not be allowed to graduate, let alone hold any position in the naval division." ”
Su Shichang pondered for a while, and then exclaimed: "Fang Jun's thinking is really imaginative, and he is also a genius!" This move can not only enhance the combat effectiveness of the entire naval division, but also enhance the cohesion and loyalty of the officers in the naval division, and twist the entire naval division into a rope. Awesome! ”
No wonder His Majesty Li Er wants to order the Sailor Academy to move back to Guanzhong, if it is to wait until the graduates of the Sailor Academy have mastered all the powers of the Sailor, then will this Sailor listen to His Majesty or Fang Jun?
Things are very clear, His Majesty Li Er would rather not use Fang Jun to make money for him in Jiangnan, but also put the Shui Shi Academy under his own control. Of course, His Majesty Li Er still felt that Fang Jun was a little wronged, so he made the attitude that Fang Jun's future was arranged by him, which was a kind of compensation.
Not surprisingly, Fang Jun's official position after returning to Beijing must have exceeded everyone's expectations, to a jaw-dropping level.
And others can't object yet, whoever opposes His Majesty Li Er will be anxious with whom.
You forced me to recall Fang Jun back to Jingshi, I listened to you, why can't I be promoted to compensate my courtiers?
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Fang Jun is really amazing! Don't say anything else, but this ability to make money is unprecedented, Hugh said that his father is waiting for money everywhere, and what emperor doesn't like such a courtier? There is no need to exploit the people, there is no need to implement harsh governance, but money can always be brought in a lot, the most powerful thing is that all the means of making money are long-term open source strategies, whether it is glass or salt fields, and now it is a city ship, it can continue to provide a large amount of money to the treasury of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the internal treasury of the father. ”
He has a very good relationship with Fang Jun, and when the two of them are alone in their spare time, there is no avoidance between the monarch and the minister, and they can talk about going together, so the more Fang Jun shows his superior talent, the happier he is.
It's just that now that the father has abolished the feudal system, and the princes who are outside the vassal have returned to Chang'an one after another, the topic of contention for the crown that has been extinguished in the DPRK and China is gradually rising, and I am afraid that there is another wave of undercurrents. A young and promising minister like Fang Jun will presumably become the target of all parties......
Su Shichang asked: "I heard that when Fang Jun left Guanzhong, he recruited many generals from the noble family to go to the water division?" ”
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian was in a more and more wonderful mood, and said with a smile: "Yes, and there was a private agreement between these family nobles that the money and grain seized by these family generals among the sailors would be distributed to the family nobles according to a certain proportion, and Lone accounted for the majority of them." Moreover, some time ago, Fang Jun had a letter sent by him, because the sailor had exterminated a large number of pirates in the East China Sea twice in a row, and he had seized a lot. It must be a huge amount of money to make Fang Jun say such words as 'a lot of seizures'. ”
I was very encouraged.
Don't look at Li Chengqian's residence in the East Palace, food and clothing are paid for by the treasury, but it is inevitable to buy some luxury and novelties in private, as well as reward the confidants of close ministers, the amount of money spent is quite huge, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also overstretched.
With this seized money, it will certainly be able to be greatly relaxed.
Su Shichang frowned slightly.
According to what Li Chengqian said, the people who allocated the family generals this time are all the noble families who are close to the East Palace, and if the seized money is divided, won't it give the illusion of forming gangs and cultivating party henchmen?
As a prince, this is a big taboo!

In the Shenlong Hall on the other side, His Majesty Li Er had just driven away the ministers, and the palace maids were waiting to wash their feet, and before they could enjoy lunch comfortably, they received a news that made him extremely stunned.
Li Ji, the secretary of the military department, went and returned, handing over a report in his hand.
"The Fang family's wool workshop was burned to ashes by fire, and the craftsmen in the brewing workshop gathered to incite rumors, and they have been arrested and imprisoned by the Xizhou Thorn History Mansion?"
His Majesty Li Er's eyes widened, and he looked at the report in his hand at a glance.
This is a report submitted by Guo Xiaoke, the capital of Anxi and the assassin of Xizhou, saying that the Fang family's wool workshop in Gaochang City was burned to ashes by a sudden fire, and the craftsmen were killed and injured countless times, and the wool worth more than 100,000 guan turned into fly ashes. The brewery adjacent to the wool workshop clashed with the craftsmen of the brewery when the soldiers of the Assassin's Mansion went to fight the fire, and the craftsmen did not allow the soldiers to enter the workshop, and claimed that the fire was deliberately carried out, and the soldiers had to capture all the craftsmen in order to prevent the brewery from being affected by the fire, so that they could do their best to put out the fire......
His Majesty Li Er couldn't believe his eyes: "How can there be such a thing?" ”
The front foot made Fang Jun suffer a lot of grievances and had to give up the situation in Jiangnan to return to Chang'an, and the back foot Fang Jun's industry in the Western Regions suffered a catastrophe again, and even His Majesty Li Er felt that this guy had suffered too much this time.
However, when he thought about it again, he came up with many strange things......
