Changsun Chong was so angry that he didn't care about "crying sadly". He straightened up and retorted: "That's nonsense. In that wild forest, someone heard that His Majesty gave Shenji Camp to you, but never heard that you were given Fang Jun." , how dare you take it as your own? Taking a step back, even if that piece of land was given to you by His Majesty, you have made it clear to me, and so-and-so still gives it to you, why do you humiliate so-and-so, let alone give you Forced to death?"
I thought that the land was given to the Shenji Camp by His Majesty, so when I saw that you were refusing to leave, I became very angry and wanted to take the land back. But if His Majesty really gave it to you, if you tell me carefully, can I still refuse to return it to you? What's more, your dignified young master will be forced to death just because of a piece of land?
Changsun Chong was also an articulate person. He was not afraid of Fang Jun's anger in the Zhengzheng Palace, so his courage suddenly increased. He seized on the loopholes in Fang Jun's words and immediately launched a counterattack.
Fang Jun looked at Changsun Chong's indignant and plausive speech, blinked, and thought to himself, "Are you not crying anymore?"
That's okay, if you don't cry, I'll cry!
Lying down on the ground, Fang Jun howled loudly: "You have really wronged someone... My eldest son-in-law, you are also a man of seven feet, how come you are so hypocritical and you are not as good as a woman? You took over someone's house and injured someone." After killing someone's servant, someone went to you to ask for an explanation. You actually ordered Shenji camp's muskets and crossbows to point at someone, and wanted to kill someone on the spot. Do you dare to admit it? When Shenji camp was founded, the imperial government financed it. Forbidden to see, it was a certain person who lost his family and wealth and invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to establish the Shenji Camp. His Majesty saw that a certain person was loyal to the country and could not bear to see a certain person go bankrupt and have no place to live, so he bestowed the gift on that person. You want to give someone a piece of land to live in. Your son-in-law, the son-in-law of the eldest son, is trying to take away someone’s last place to live. Isn’t this pushing someone to a dead end? Your Majesty, the son-in-law of the eldest son is vicious. Kill them all, Your Majesty! You are illuminating, discerning, and wise. Please make the decision for me, otherwise, I will not survive..."
Changsun Chong's face turned pale with anger!
I'm the victim, what do you have to cry about? And crying so fakely is really unqualified...
His Majesty Li Er sat on the throne in a daze, watching the two people in front of him cry more fiercely than the other, one more reasonable than the other, and one more aggrieved than the other. He only felt that his brain ached and his eyes went black. , almost mad to death!
"Shut up for the hell, do you want to make noise to death?" His Majesty Li Er's face turned red from suppressing it, and he shouted loudly.
Fang Jun immediately shut up and remained prone...
Changsun Chong didn't dare to speak out, but he felt more and more depressed and uncomfortable! The one who suffered the loss was himself. This bastard was also very good at confusing right and wrong. He actually turned things around, as if he was the heinous villain.
Even Li Chengqian was frightened by His Majesty Li Er's voice...
Rubbing his forehead, His Majesty Li Er felt quite embarrassed.
Even though these two bastards seem to have very confusing reasons for talking about their own affairs, the context is actually very clear.
But when it comes to who is right and who is wrong, it is not so clear.
The cause of the incident lies with Changsun Chong. His Majesty Li Er did not know what kind of madness this nephew and son-in-law had. He occupied Fang Jun's manor and injured his servant. His Majesty Li Er glared at Changsun Chong with hatred, "You said you were full, why did you provoke this stick?"
If it ends here, it must be Changsun Chong's fault and he must bear full responsibility.
But the question is, is Fang Jun a character who can suffer the disadvantage of being dumb?
This guy rushed to the scene, beheaded the captain of the Shenji Battalion, and severely injured Zhang Jin. By the way, he was also the nephew of His Majesty Li Er. Although they were not close, they were still relatives after all, right?
The results of it? There is no discussion about this beating with a mallet!
The most outrageous thing is that he dragged his eldest grandson like a dead dog in the snow for a long distance, in front of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion...
This matter has a great impact!
Changsun Chong is the commander-in-chief of an army, so humiliating him like this is a taboo in the army! Just imagine, how will Changsun Chong maintain his majesty in front of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and how will he give orders to the sergeants?
From this aspect, Fang Jun went too far!
but……
Everything has its effect for a reason. If Changsun didn't provoke Fang Jun, how could he be humiliated by Fang Jun in turn?
Everyone has responsibilities, but it is difficult to distinguish the priorities.
However, what really troubles His Majesty Li Er is not this, but the embarrassment of his face as an emperor...
Why do you say that?
In the beginning, when Shenji Camp was taken away from Fang Jun and handed over to Changsun Chong, he did have his own selfish motives. After all, Changsun Chong grew up watching him. Although he valued and admired Fang Jun very much, in terms of relationships, he was still not as good as him.
The Shenji Battalion's great power in the Western Regions relied on the advent of firearms. Fang Jun was indispensable for this. It was precisely because of the firearms developed by Fang Jun that the Shenji Battalion came into being.
But when people accept a new thing, there will always be more or less mistakes, which is inevitable. His Majesty Li Er attached great importance to Shenji Camp and firearms, but he did not pay attention to the changes in military tactics brought about by firearms, a new thing. Therefore, he naively believed that no matter who hands the Shenji Camp was in, it would have the same power as before.
And this unit with astonishing combat power must be strictly controlled by oneself. Compared with Fang Jun and Changsun Chong, the latter makes His Majesty Li Er more at ease...
However, now it seems that this idea is indeed wrong.
Changsun Chong may have outstanding abilities in government affairs, but as an army commander, he is obviously not qualified.
This is not a question of ability, but of character.
Changsun Chong's character is not suitable for development in the army...
And Fang Jun dragged his eldest son Chong to come to the imperial court to beat the imperial drum and report the imperial oath. In the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, this was to give himself eye drops and prevent him from getting off the stage.
Didn’t you hand over Shenji Camp to Changsun Chong?
How about it? We were originally a group of tigers and wolves, but now he has trained us into a group of sheep. We can single-handedly humiliate the commander of the Shenji Battalion among thousands of troops. Now, look, who is stronger?
There is no need to discuss who is stronger, but is His Majesty Li Er willing to slap himself in the face?
Certainly not!
Therefore, he threw this problem to Li Chengqian...
"Prince, in your opinion, how should these two bastards be dealt with?" His Majesty Li Er suppressed his anger and looked at Li Chengqian.
The father is in trouble, and the son has to accept his work. You go ahead...
Li Chengqian was a little dumbfounded and looked at His Majesty Li Er in astonishment, Dad, are you being unreasonable? If you find it difficult, just pass the blame to me?
His Majesty Li Er was stroking his beard, his face expressionless.
Who calls you a son?
If you don’t come, who will?
Li Chengqian was speechless, looking back at his brother-in-law and his future brother-in-law, with expressions of constipation on their faces...
How to dispose of it?
Changsun Chong has been playing with me since childhood and has a good friendship; Fang Jun is kind to me and has a deep friendship with him. The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh, and I feel bad about any punishment. What should I do?
But it’s no good if you don’t express your stance. Dad is watching from behind...
With nothing to do, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said: "Chang Sun Chong invaded Fang Jun's house rudely first and injured Fang Jun's servants. Fang Jun then humiliated Chang Sun Chong in the army and violated the majesty of the general. The two of them They all have their faults. In my opinion, what would my father think if they were removed from their positions and ordered to shut themselves up and reflect on their mistakes?"
Logically speaking, Li Chengqian's approach of playing fifty big games each is very appropriate.
In his opinion, Changsun Chong was humiliated by Fang Jun in the army and lost his face. How could he lead the Shenji Battalion in the future? It would be better to simply order him to be dismissed than to be embarrassed in the army in the future. As for Fang Jun, this guy has no interest in the false title of Minister of Rites. Li Chengqian knew about this and just dismissed him from this position.
In this way, both of them were dealt with, but no one was offended. It was perfect!
Li Chengqian was quite proud of himself. He raised the corner of his mouth to look at His Majesty Li Er, only to find that His Majesty Li Er's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, and he was about to be furious with lightning and thunder...
Li Chengqian was so frightened that he didn't know what was wrong?
But he was negligent. He did not offend Changsun Chong and Fang Jun, but he offended his father...
What does His Majesty Li Er pay most attention to in this life?
Two words: reputation!
Even though this man had done a lot of evil things, he cared about his reputation after his death. This is evident from the fact that he was able to manipulate the historian to change his daily notes without authorization after Wei Zheng's death. For the sake of reputation, Li Er doesn't care about anything!
Li Chengqian handled it appropriately, but the problem is that by withdrawing Changsun Chong's Shenji Camp Admiral, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting to the outside world that he made a mistake in abandoning Fang Jun and choosing Changsun Chong? Regardless of what the outside world says, Fang Jun alone would be extremely proud!
Why does this bastard insist on filing this imperial complaint today? Aren’t you just trying to embarrass me!
His Majesty Li Er glared at Li Chengqian and scolded: "This is nonsense! As a prince, you should be fair and honest in dealing with things. You will be rewarded for your merits and punished for your mistakes. How can you just mess around and get over it? If everything is handled like this, in the future, How to convince the world? Go back to the East Palace immediately and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. If you don’t understand, don’t come out to see others!”
I'm really angry. Does my son also want to embarrass me?
This is simply unreasonable!
Li Chengqian's face turned red, he was frightened, and he said slowly: "My son, I obey..."
His Majesty Li Er turned back and stared at the two bastards in front of him, and said coldly: "Changsun Chong is narrow-minded. He knew clearly that the wild forest was the land I gave to Fang Jun, but he sent troops to occupy it, forcibly expelled the Fang family's servants, and injured them. Now, , I will punish you with fifty whippings, if I don’t do it next time, will you be convinced?”
Changsun Chong said helplessly: "Wei Chen takes orders."
Fifty lashes, even the guards who wanted to carry out the execution did not dare to hurt his life. They were afraid that every piece of good flesh on his body would prevent him from getting out of bed for a month... Changsun Chong was most afraid of pain. When he thought about the miserable situation, he couldn't help but Shiver.
His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun again: "Although Changsun Chong was at fault first, you are resentful and ruthless, which is not the behavior of a gentleman. I will also punish you with fifty lashes. If you don't follow suit next time, are you convinced?"
Li Chengqian stood in a daze, his mind a little confused, and he looked at his father with some resentment...
Isn't this the same as how I deal with it?
