Under normal circumstances, His Majesty would definitely not agree to Fang Jun's suggestion to set up a brand new military agency to take charge of military power, because this would be tantamount to directly evacuating imperial power, and no emperor would be able to accept it.
But if Fang Jun joins forces with Li Ji, and the two major military forces join forces to put pressure on His Majesty, can Your Majesty refuse?
Dare you refuse?
These two people control almost more than 80% of the country's army, especially all the garrisons inside and outside Chang'an and up and down Guanzhong are controlled by these two people, and a mutiny can be launched in an instant.
If you don't agree, then we will bring in a new emperor and make him agree.
This is forced labor!
Since ancient times, people who behave like this have either been ruined and completely defeated, or they have hijacked the imperial power and changed their lives.
It's simply seeking death...
Fang Jun took a slow sip of wine and spoke in a low but firm tone: "The national interest is supreme. Personal interests can never be placed above national interests, not even for the emperor."
Li Tai stared at Fang Jun speechlessly for a long time, and then took a sip of wine. After he swallowed the drink, he asked: "Have you ever considered your own way out by acting against nature? What are you planning on doing?"
"What are you planning?"
Fang Jun glanced out the window and said calmly: "I want this country to be prosperous and proud of the world, and I want all Chinese people to be free and happy and stand proudly in the world!"
In this life, people always have something to pursue. No matter how difficult it is, you must have the courage to try.
Things that the world is eager for, such as power and wealth, have never really been in Fang Jun's eyes. The reason why he is still working tirelessly in the officialdom is because he wants to continue the glory of this country that represents the Chinese national spirit, so that it will not be like history. Hidden dangers were laid early, and the last bit of vitality was finally exhausted in the turmoil.
Otherwise, he had already taken his family to sea, and founded a country wherever he chose. With powerful firearms and warships, he was at ease. Why would he need to fight with these "official bugs"?
Li Tai was shocked and lost his voice. This was the first time he heard that Fang Jun had such lofty ambitions. While he was in awe, he couldn't help but say something that he should never say given his status: "But you should know, There has never been a thousand-year dynasty."
The Zhou Dynasty lasted for thirty-two generations, thirty-seven kings, and lasted for seven hundred and ninety years. This was the ultimate dynasty in the world, and it would never be repeated after the Zhou Dynasty.
And why was the Zhou Dynasty able to rule the world for nearly 800 years?
It was because the system of the Zhou Dynasty at that time was extremely in line with the social environment at that time. It was because the Zhou Dynasty implemented the "feudal system" and the king and the princes shared the world. It was because the implementation and promotion of the "patriarchal system" led to society being stable for a long time. It was because the improvement of the "ritual and music system" enhanced social cohesion and increased loyalty. Everyone was willing to respect the King of Zhou as the "co-owner of the world." It was because the productivity at that time was extremely low, the population growth was too slow, and the land was always Wealthy, social conflicts eased...
Today's world can be said to be changing three times a day. The improvement of productivity has created more living resources, increased national tax revenue, caused the population to grow at a high speed, and the country has become richer and stronger. But at the same time, the rapid development of society has brought more There are many conflicts, the most obvious of which is the accelerated pace of land annexation.
How many years has this been established?
In Henan alone, aristocratic families have occupied tens of millions of acres of land due to mergers and acquisitions. Countless farmers have no land to farm and are even homeless. They have become tenant farmers and slaves of aristocratic families...
In less than a hundred years, land annexation will reach its peak.
How could the empire manage to survive for a hundred years with its foundation?
In another hundred years, the whole world will be in turmoil, and the vitality of the country will be depleted every inch until the building collapses and the ancestral temple collapses.
The most optimistic prediction is that the lifespan of the empire will not exceed three hundred years.
Li Tai didn't believe that Fang Jun couldn't see this.
Since the life of the empire has been determined, why should we fight and struggle for such a predetermined future? It is also about reforming the tax system, developing maritime trade, and measuring land... How can we hold great power and enjoy wealth in peace?
Fang Jun picked up the jug and found that there was no wine in the jug. He ordered the waiter to fetch a jar of wine, chased the messenger away, patted the mud seal on the wine jar, poured the clear and mellow wine into the jug, and placed it in front of the two of them.
The wine glasses were filled, and the glasses were raised and clinked.
After breathing out a breath of alcohol, Fang Jun's spirits were lifted again. He looked at Li Tai and asked, "Do you know why we are called 'Han people'?"
Li Tai said: "Of course it's because of the Chinese bloodline inherited from the two Han Dynasties. Because of the strength of the Han Dynasty, it shocked all directions and dominated the wilderness. The Chinese were proud of it, but the barbarians were afraid of it. It was passed down from generation to generation, so it was called 'Han'!"
"
Although the Li and Tang royal family had foreign blood, they regarded themselves as the Li family of Longxi and never admitted that they were Hu people, so they were naturally proud of being "Han".
Recalling the time when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Huns from the north, penetrated the Western Regions, and spread Chinese civilization all over the world, Li Tai could not help but feel excited and took the initiative to raise a glass: "Congratulations to Han Wu!"
Fang Jun laughed: "Congratulations to Han Wu!"
The two clinked their glasses and drank it all.
Fang Jun poured wine again and said with emotion: "In October of the first year of Yankang, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty abdicated to Cao Pi. Cao Pi established his capital in Luoyang, replaced Han with Wei, and the Eastern Han Dynasty fell. It has been two hundred and fifty years... However, even though time has passed, the Han Dynasty has
His majestic reputation has been shocking to this day, making the Chinese people take the name "Han". What an honor is this? Your Highness, don't you think that thousands of years later, our Tang Dynasty will be as famous as the Han Dynasty? Even if the country is destroyed, there will be descendants
Do descendants feel proud to call themselves 'Tang'? Let the Tang Dynasty be as famous as the Han Dynasty. With the word 'Han and Tang', China will be glorious and famous through the ages!"
Thousands of years later, which descendant of China would not be proud of the "Han and Tang Dynasties"?
"Chinatowns" all over the world are silently recalling the prosperous Tang Dynasty where poetry, wine, romance, and martial arts were unparalleled!
"Han and Tang" are the totems imprinted in the soul of a nation.
As a member of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, Li Tai was so excited that his blood surged up when he heard such visions of the future. His face flushed, he raised his glass high and lost his former gentleness, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!"
Fang Jun also raised his glass: "Nine heavens open the palace, and the clothes and hats of all nations worship Mian Liu!"
"Congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!"
Strong alcohol enters the throat, and the blood surges.
A prince of the empire and a prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, at this moment, like an ignorant child in the countryside, he was laughing loudly, shouting and drinking, happily and in high spirits.
After a while, Li Tai was as drunk as mud, and was picked up by Fang Jun and thrown on the bed in the back room.
Returning to the wine table, Fang Jun poured himself a glass of wine and thought about every step ahead.
During this time, the chamberlains refilled the jars of wine several times, and they were all shocked and speechless. Su Wen, the Duke of Yue, drank as much as the ocean, and could not get drunk after a thousand cups. This was an experience today.
It wasn't until the rooster crowed that Fang Jun left the wine table drunkenly. He refused the waiter's request for another place, went to the inner room with empty steps, and fell down next to Li Tai, fully clothed.
Soon he fell asleep soundly.
…
"Take your hands away."
"Don't make trouble, go to sleep."
"Why do you share the same bed with me?"
"Too much nonsense, go to sleep."
"Have a good sleep! Get up quickly..."
"Mom! Don't fumble around... Ouch! Take your hand away!"
Outside the bedroom, a group of servants could not help but look at each other as they listened to the argument inside, wondering whether they should go in to serve the two of them...
"Ouch!"
As Wei King Li Tai exclaimed, the servants were startled and ran in quickly without caring about anything else. However, they saw Li Tai being kicked from the bed to the ground by Fang Jun for some reason, while Fang Jun was lying on his back.
The whole bed.
"Oh, is His Highness injured?"
"Your Highness, slow down, slow down!"
Li Tai rubbed his waist, was barefoot, disheveled, and in a state of embarrassment. He was helped up by the servants in a hurry. He was so angry that he pointed at Fang Jun on the bed and cursed: "Mother! Kick me!"
Then pretend to be asleep, right? Come here, carry this thief and throw him out of the lotus pond in the garden!"
"Ah? This..."
The servants looked at each other and did not dare to come forward.
This is Fang Er Bang, who dares to be so rude? When trouble comes to them later, His Highness may not be able to protect them.
What's more, you two are sleeping in the same bed. This relationship is like a fish in water, so don't embarrass us slaves...
Fang Jun was indeed awake. He felt very satisfied after kicking His Highness. He simply stopped pretending to be asleep. He turned over and sat up and smelled his right hand. He wrinkled his nose with a look of disgust: "What did I touch? This is weird.
Taste..."
The servants lowered their heads one after another, wishing they could stuff their heads into their crotches. I couldn't hear anything...
Li Tai blushed and became angry: "You don't know what you touched? You'd better not do it unintentionally. If it is intentional, I, I, I... I can't forgive you!"
After all, it's okay to sleep in the same bed and be confused in sleep, but if this stick did it intentionally, Li Tai felt that he would never be able to bear it. Does this bastard still have this habit?
Just thinking about it makes the hairs on my body stand up.
I'm a little crazy, I'm not clean anymore...
Fang Jun laughed angrily at the frightened look on his face, put on his shoes beside the bed, and looked up and down at Li Tai with a smile: "Not to mention, your highness's flesh is white and soft, and it feels very good to the touch.
It's a pity that the spring night is so short, and the sun comes up before I can do anything..."
The servants couldn't help but wailed in their hearts, please, just do it, but don't say anything. What if His Highness becomes angry and wants to silence us?
Li Tai's eyes widened, his whole body trembled, and he looked at Fang Jun in shock: "You, you, you, you are shameless!"
Feeling sick, I turned around and ran out.
Now it was Fang Jun's turn to be in disbelief. Looking at the shy look on his face, could it be that His Highness the King of Wei was so lucky?
After all, the dignitaries these days have really played all the things they can play, and they spend all their time thinking about the things they can't play. It's not uncommon to have a good-looking "Rabbit Master" in the study, and some even have some ridiculous ones with "
"Master Rabbit" sleeps with his wives and concubines, having fun...
I just don’t know whether His Highness is attacking or receiving?
Thinking about it this way, Fang Jun felt sick...
He quickly got up. Fortunately, he didn't take off his clothes last night. He grabbed his shoes and ran. As he ran, he shouted: "Li Tai, you are such a bad guy. You are not taboo on meat and vegetables. I am ashamed to be your friend!"
Li Tai, who was still retching by the lotus pond, shouted angrily when he heard this, "Isn't this ruining my reputation?"
