In Songhe Tower, Fang Jun slammed the table again and cursed.
"Mother! Is his eldest son, Sun Chong, seeking death? Even if he dislikes me, Fang Jun, why should he denigrate and expel the backbone of Shenji Camp? These are all the skeleton of Shenji Camp, are they? Without you, Lao Liu, and Lao Duan as the basis of combat effectiveness, his eldest son, Sun Chong, thinks that he can conquer the Shenji camp with his little white-faced sissy, and let those dandy fried dough sticks risk his life? It is simply stupid!"
Li Chengqian looked at Fang Jun helplessly: "Don't curse others, pay attention to your quality."
Liu Rengui was so frightened that his liver trembled. His Highness the Crown Prince is here, how dare you open your mouth and curse someone, and you are cursing the Crown Prince's brother-in-law or cousin? Don’t say anything else, Lord Marquis, just say one word to me: surrender!
Fang Jun glared and said: "Quality? Quality is shit! Does his eldest son, Sun Chong, have quality? Why are you protecting your brother-in-law? The Shenji Camp was founded by Fang Jun, who led everyone to ride with the Turkic wolves in the Western Regions. You went against him and led everyone to sacrifice their lives to gain merit, and now his eldest son, Sun Chong, is doing this to the exclusion of dissidents, why don't you let me scold you a few times?"
Li Chengqian spread his hands: "How can I protect him? It's just a case-by-case basis. The eldest son, Sun Chong, has his own means to take charge of the Shenji Camp. You can't say that someone is not doing a good job because someone close to you has been driven away. It is unfair. It’s fair…”
"Oh, have you learned a lot? Fairness? Fairness is bullshit! You are being fair to us now. When His Majesty ordered us to hand over the Shenji Camp to Changsun Chong, why didn't you be fair? Your Majesty is partial to King Wei, why didn't you talk about fairness when you were almost driven to a dead end? Now you are talking about fairness to us, please stop me!"
Fang Jun was very angry and did not give Li Chengqian any face.
What happened to the prince? The prince must be reasonable! You royal family are unreasonable and why don't you allow others to complain? It's too domineering!
Liu Rengui had been frightened for a long time. This Marquis was really awesome! He actually pointed at His Highness the Crown Prince's nose and spoke like this?
He began to make a calculation in his mind. Fang Jun had been a favor to him, and his friendship was irreversible. When the Crown Prince got angry and summoned the guards outside the door to take Fang Jun to Ming Zhengdian, he would be the one to protect him. Should I run away with Shunta Fang, or take His Royal Highness as a hostage...
Li Chengqian didn't know that Liu Rengui beside him was already plotting to hijack him with evil eyes. Faced with Fang Jun's responsibilities, he could only smile bitterly. Not only did I not feel a trace of irritation at being disrespected, but I felt strangely relieved...
This comfort shocked Li Chengqian himself.
Could it be that Gu Gu is a bitch at heart and just likes others to act stupid in front of him?
But the more Fang Jun was so careless about his manners, the more it showed that he was not an outsider to him in his heart, otherwise how could he be so rude?
The higher the position, the harder it is to get sincere treatment from others, and the more he longs for friendship... Since Fang Jun regards him as one of his own and makes no secret of his feelings, Li Chengqian, a relatively simple-minded person who has no friends since childhood, Prince, how can you be unhappy?
Especially someone as capable as Fang Jun...
Fang Jun scolded for a while, and his anger was almost vented. Li Chengqian didn't worry, he kept pouring wine and serving dishes for Fang Jun with a smile, and kindly greeted Liu Rengui to do what he wanted, eat and drink when he should, without being formal.
Putting down his wine glass angrily, Fang Jun said to Liu Rengui, "Do you remember loading a batch of ordnance onto a ship at the dock in the middle of the night?"
Liu Rengui's heart skipped a beat and he glanced at Li Chengqian. When the latter looked over curiously, he knew that there was no need to wait for this matter. He nodded and said, "Of course I remember."
Fang Jun had a deep conversation with Liu Rengui once after that incident, so he still remembered it.
"Tell His Royal Highness the whole story, especially the whereabouts of that batch of ordnance. There is no need to hide it."
"promise!"
Liu Rengui thought about it carefully, organized his words, and told Li Chengqian...
The more Li Chengqian listened, the more surprised he became. When Liu Rengui finished his story, he asked curiously: "Where do the Ezo people live?"
"On the island just north of the Japanese country, the Japanese country occupied the territory of the Eni people, and massacred and suppressed the Eni people. The Eni people hated the Japanese with sworn hatred," Fang Jun explained.
"As far as I know, the Japanese country is just a small country. It is a small country with few people and is not in danger. Why did Erlang spend so much time plotting against the Japanese country?" Li Chengqian asked, somewhat puzzled.
A small country with few people?
Fang Jun sneered at this typical way of thinking of a great nation and a great people.
It was the Japanese country, a small country with a small country and few people, that stared hard at the fat elephant of China. Until he caught the opportunity, he gnawed so much flesh and blood that he almost killed the elephant. Bite to death!
But now that the Tang Dynasty has strong military and national strength, how could it possibly take the Japanese country seriously? In fact, until the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the entire Chinese nation had never paid much attention to the tiny Japanese nation, which eventually led to a serious disaster and nearly destroyed the country.
Perhaps, now is the time to teach Li Chengqian, who is likely to become the emperor in the future, and Liu Rengui, who is very likely to become a famous general, a lesson in national strategy...
Thinking of this, Fang Jun put down the wine glass in his hand, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Does Your Highness know that during the Sui Dynasty, the Japanese State sent an envoy to Luoyang to meet Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and handed over a letter of credence?"
After all, Li Chengqian was a disciple taught by a group of great Confucian scholars. Regardless of his ability, he was definitely worthy of reading more than ten thousand volumes. After thinking about it for a moment, he smiled and said, "But he made a big joke and made Emperor Sui Yang very angry." What about the thing you’re dissatisfied with?”
Fang Jun nodded and said: "Exactly..."
Liu Rengui suddenly understood and said: "The emperor writes a letter from the emperor where the sun rises to where the sun disappears. Is the emperor okay?"
Fang Jun laughed and said: "Not bad!"
Li Chengqian glanced at Liu Rengui in surprise, a little surprised.
Although Fang Jun had previously highly praised Liu Rengui, Li Chengqian believed that Liu Rengui was a great general. After all, whoever replaced him would have to see the answer from Liu Rengui's face, which was like an old farmer who was aging before he got old.
But this person can actually know this matter. I think he must have read a lot of books. Not only has he spent time, but he also has a very good memory. Otherwise, most people will forget such a remote thing after reading it, and just regard it as an interesting thing. Who would remember it?
Speaking of this, it was indeed a big joke in the Central Plains.
During the Daye period, the first government mission sent by the Japanese state to the Sui Dynasty finally arrived in Luoyang. The leader of the mission was named Ono Meizi, a name that is easily misleading. In fact, this person was a man four feet tall...
The envoy called Emperor Sui Yang "the emperor of Haixi Bodhisattva who revived Buddhism" and said that he brought a group of Buddhist monks to study Buddhism. Then he presented Emperor Sui Yang with a letter from his monarch, which was equivalent to a letter of credence.
The beginning of the letter is "The emperor is writing a letter from the emperor where the sun rises to where the emperor is not. The emperor is fine"...
This kind of language structure made the world laugh and despised the Japanese country.
Not only is this a bizarre claim, in the ancient East Asian tribute system, only the emperor of China could be called the "Son of Heaven." Therefore, the Japanese letter called their supreme ruler "the emperor", which made Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty very unhappy. Moreover, "the emperor wrote at the place where the sun rose, and the emperor sent a letter to the emperor when he disappeared." It also violated Emperor Yang's taboo of saying who was "the emperor." What about the "Emperor who has nowhere to go"? Therefore, he ordered "If there are any rude books written by barbarians, please do not read them again."
However, at this time, the Sui Dynasty was engaged in a war to conquer Goguryeo and did not want to make more enemies. However, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was obviously very concerned about this matter. The following year, he sent a group of 13 people including Pei Shiqing to pay a return visit and brought back unprecedented complete and accurate news about Japan.
Fang Jun believed that if the Sui Dynasty did not fall, depending on Emperor Sui Yang's character and temper, he might be able to cross the sea and destroy the Japanese country...
It is precisely because of this incident that people in the Central Plains have never taken the Japanese country into their eyes. In their view, a country with a small land, a small country and a few people, and an uneducated country has nothing to fear and why should it be taken seriously?
Fang Jun solemnly said: "No country can be strong forever. There will always be times when natural disasters and civil strife lead to weakness or even destruction. No country can be weak forever. One day, famous generals will emerge in large numbers and the country will be strong! How can we make a country strong? How about being strong forever? It’s very simple, let the countries around it be weak forever!”
