When Fang Jun came out of the prince's study, it was already the first quarter of the morning, and many officials from the East Palace who came to discuss matters were already standing at the door of the prince's residence. Last night, a fire at Yushitan burned half of Chang'an city red, so it was natural for such a big event to happen
The impact was so great that various departments came to ask how to deal with it, and people gathered at the door to discuss it.
Standing at the door, he nodded to the officials at the bottom of the steps. Everyone nodded or bowed in response, and Fang Jun was about to walk down the steps and return to the camp outside Xuanwu Gate.
Although this detailed discussion with Li Chengqian is far from candid, Li Chengqian’s wisdom must have understood the deeper implications...
This made Fang Jun a little uneasy and depressed. How could he hide some words and things from Li Chengqian? But he couldn't tell him.
The chatter in his ears suddenly fell silent. When Fang Jun came back to his senses, he saw Liu Ji, who was neatly dressed in a purple official uniform and even his beard was meticulously groomed, standing in front of him, blocking the road.
Xiao Yu stroked his beard and stood to one side.
Fang Jun frowned, stood with his hands behind his hands, and looked at Liu Ji coldly.
Liu Ji bowed his arms to the ground and greeted each other with the courtesy of a lower official. Then he stood up, waved his sleeves, and spoke sternly: "Now there is a prince in the East Palace who oversees the country, has power over the world, and regulates civil and military affairs. Why is it that the Duke of Yue is here again?"
He has repeatedly violated the Eastern Palace’s decision on peace talks, sent troops without authorization, treated the prince as if he were nothing, was outrageous and violent, and is extremely unreasonable!”
As soon as this statement came out, the officials on the left and right quietly watched. Everyone knew that Fang Jun could not be messed with. If a powerful person like Changsun Wuji was in power, Linghu Defen and his like would be disgraced, let alone Liu Jie.
Everyone wanted to know Fang Jun's true thoughts. After all, he had repeatedly ruined the peace talks, but the prince never punished him, which made everyone puzzled.
Of course, the more important thing is to give full play to traditional Chinese arts - watching the excitement...
Fang Jun did not make everyone excited, and ignored the aggressive Liu Ji. Instead, he looked at Xiao Yu on one side and asked with a smile: "Is this what Song Guogong meant?"
Xiao Yu shook his head: "It has nothing to do with me."
Fang Jun nodded: "That's what Cen Zhongshu means... This Cen Zhongshu is really worried. He can't roam around in the woods and springs when he's old, and tease his grandchildren. He also has to endure the cats and dogs under his door barking and barking all day long.
How unfortunate it is that the noise inside makes the whole house restless."
Oops!
The officials' eyes widened for a moment, thinking that Fang Jun was avoiding and unwilling to accept Liu Ji's questioning, but they didn't expect that the very first words he spoke were such extremely insulting words!
Just look at Liu Jie's face that turned blood red instantly, and you will know that something good is about to happen... This is the servant! A high-ranking official under the sect, a close minister around the emperor, one of the prime ministers! He was actually described by Fang Jun as a "cat"
"Cats and dogs", how humiliating is this?
Liu Jie's pupils were filled with blood, and he was furious. He shouted in shame and anger: "Fang Er, how dare you humiliate me like this? Either you die today or I die!"
Just when he was about to step forward to fight Fang Jun, his best friend was startled and hurriedly hugged his waist and pulled his legs to restrain Liu Jie.
Liu Ji struggled hard and shouted: "Let me go, I will fight to the death with this beast!"
Colleagues sweated profusely and hugged Liu Ji tightly. Do you think that this man who has been so proud of himself in the past two years has forgotten the fact that he bravely won the three armies? You, with your thin arms and thin legs, can fight in the second room.
Twenty...
Xiao Yu, who originally had no intention of getting involved, frowned and said, "Liu Shizhong is the prime minister of the empire and the head of the civil service. How can the Duke of Yue insult him with just a few words? How unbecoming!"
He was not on good terms with Liu Jie, and Liu Jie now posed a great threat to his status, making his status as "the leader of Qingliu" in jeopardy. He was willing to see Liu Jie's face fall in front of Fang Jun. But Fang Jun spoke
Just insulting Liu Jie clearly shows that he does not take all civil servants into consideration. "Cats, cats and dogs" are not just insults to Liu Jie. Under such circumstances, he must stand up for the civil servants and fight with Fang Jun.
The unceremonious confrontation can further highlight his status as a "clean leader".
Liu Jiewu, who was standing next to him, struggled and yelled loudly: "This is such a wild and unreasonable behavior! Why was such a major event as a sneak attack on the rebel grain storage not informed in advance, causing the current peace talks to stall again? The peace talks are a major matter, which is related to the life and death of the East Palace, but yet
Because you put it aside again and again, it is a capital crime!"
The officials all admire Liu Ji's courage. How much courage does it take to dare to say "death penalty" in front of Fang Jun? Not to mention that His Highness the Crown Prince now regards Fang Jun as his humerus and relies on him as his heart.
His illustrious achievements have long been known all over the world, and he has been hailed as an outstanding figure in the world and a pillar of the country. You can wipe out all his achievements with just one sentence, which can be described as heart-breaking.
That Fang Er always behaves arrogantly and domineeringly. He is the only one who bullies others. How has anyone ever bullied him? I'm afraid Liu Jie will be given a few harsh blows to make him lose his memory...
Unexpectedly, today's Fang Jun was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. He didn't mean to "stick" in the slightest. He stood with his hands behind his back, quite like a big shot in the court, and said to Liu Ji calmly: "This sneak attack on the rebels' food supply is of great significance. The principle of speed is that soldiers are valuable."
Liu Shizhong should understand, right? A surprise attack must be carried out before the rebels are aware of it, otherwise it will be impossible to succeed. Furthermore, if Liu Shizhong is informed in advance but the news is leaked, allowing the rebels to take precautions, the surprise attack will not succeed, but our right will be defeated.
The soldiers and generals under the garrison suffered heavy casualties, who is responsible? Is it my Fang Jun, or is it your Liu Jie? Who can bear this responsibility?"
As soon as these words came out, not only did Liu Ji blush with anger and burst into anger, but even the officials watching the excitement were also dissatisfied.
What this means is that we, the civil servants, are regarded as traitors who secretly collude with the rebels?
Uh... Of course, Li Tang, who started his career from a Guanlong background, is actually very difficult to distinguish from the Guanlong clan, especially in the court dominated by the Guanlong clan, most of them are related to each other.
It is very possible to stand on the side of the East Palace in private but secretly communicate with Guan Long.
But you can’t say that. Following the Prince of the East Palace, we broke down our family and property, fought through thorns and climbed up step by step from the abyss, and finally ushered in the bright future with a bright future. But at this time, you put a thorn in the heart of the Prince.
, to make him have a grudge against all of us, and to be secretly wary of us, what the hell is this a human thing to do?
How abominable!
Liu Jie was so angry that his mouth was trembling. He had already seen Fang Jun's invincibility with his talk. It was a level that could make the imperial censors of the whole court sigh that they couldn't match it. How easy would it be to defeat him if he wanted to?
He took a deep breath to suppress his anger. In fact, he was a little afraid of his impulsive and reckless actions just now. What if the man next to him didn't pull him, or even didn't want to... Don't doubt it, you don't have many friends in the officialdom. You committed a serious crime and went to jail.
When you are waiting to die, everyone will feel pity and try to go to Jiaofangsi as many times as possible to express condolences to your wife and daughter after your death; but when you are on the rise, everyone wants to drag you down by your tail and step on it again.
The last foot you stepped on was in the mud...
In a nutshell: There are people who hate people, but there is no need to pity people.
In fact, it is not just the officialdom, but also all walks of life in the world. This is the foundation of human nature...
He said: "In short, the Duke of Yue ignored the overall peace talks and raised troops to attack at will. But where did he want to put the East Palace?"
Fang Jun looked at him in surprise: "Could it be that Liu Shizhong is just dreaming? If I hadn't led my subordinates to regard death as home and refuse to retreat, how could there be the situation of today's peace talks? The rebels would have entered this important gate a long time ago! By then,
, I’m afraid that Liu Shizhong doesn’t have the guts to argue with the traitors like he is doing now, but is in a hurry to redeem his wife and daughter from the Jiaofang Division to prevent your colleagues around you from going to express condolences..."
"Hey! Fang Er, can you still say something humane?"
"This is too disgraceful! How can we behave like that while our colleagues are officials?"
"It's true, it's true. I just think about it. It's so embarrassing to do it seriously..."
…
Liu Jie turned around suddenly: "Who said that just now?"
All the officials shut their mouths and shook their heads.
Fang Jun said with a smile: "This is human nature, there is no need to criticize harshly, and what this dear friend said is not unreasonable. The so-called 'filial piety comes first among all good deeds, and does not include deeds in terms of heart. There is no filial son in the world when it comes to deeds."
"There are no good people in the world," we usually just want to lust after our wives and make love to our concubines, there is nothing wrong with that."
"Mom!"
Liu Jie really couldn't bear it this time. Even if he was beaten to death by Fang Jun, he would still have to rush up and scratch him all over his face. Is this really human talk? I'm just a game of interests with you. To put it more seriously,
It's just a civil and military dispute, not a personal grudge, but you have escalated it to the level of a personal attack, even affecting your wife and daughter. How shameless does the majesty of the country want to be?
It is unbearable!
Seeing that there was no way to end it, an interior servant walked out of the study and loudly said: "His Royal Highness has summoned you!"
All the officials quickly silenced, and Liu Jie also suppressed his anger, straightened his clothes, and followed the eunuch into the study with his colleagues. However, along the way, he looked coldly at the robes around him, and was extremely angry in his heart: he was a beast in clothes with a human face and a heart of a beast.
, Fortunately I regard you as my good friend, but you actually miss my wife and daughter...
When he saw Fang Jun walking in the front, he couldn't help but spit out and cursed: Mother!
The colleague next to him trembled, and quickly pulled him, and whispered: "Prince, before you come, please be more restrained..."
