As we all know, Sun Fuga was not a party member, but was loyal to the emperor and always stood firm.
To a certain extent, he is more loyal than Fang Xuanling, Cen Wenwen and others, because his position is "loyal to the emperor". As long as it is the emperor's will, he must unconditionally obey it, unlike Fang Xuanling who has his own Concept, the emperor will stick to his point of view when he is wrong.
Generally speaking, whenever judicial matters are involved, Sun Fuga is equivalent to the emperor's spokesperson...
From Sun Fuga's words, everyone can clearly feel the emperor's wishes - Le Yanwei must be severely punished, no matter who is standing behind him.
Xiao Yu stood up, bowed, looked a little panicked, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty clearly knows that Le Yanwei is guilty of negligence, but as a supervisory censor, he has the power and responsibility to report something. If it is because of his one-time indiscretion, If you are sentenced to death, who will dare to hear about it and question the powerful in the future? In the long run, I am afraid that words will block the way and make people panic, making the powerful more and more unscrupulous, but no one will dare to monitor."
Le Yanwei must be saved. Although this person is extremely stupid, if he is killed by the emperor like this, since his majesty as a leader of Qingliu has been ruined, who else will be willing to rely on him wholeheartedly and provide money and effort in the future?
Moreover, he really believed that this punishment was too much. Even though it had a bad impact, it did not cause any bad consequences in the end. Then Fang Jun was still enjoying himself...
He knew that the emperor was furious, but he had to bite the bullet and stand up.
As for Changsun Wuji... Xiao Yu knew this "yin man" too well. Even if they united to suppress Fang Jun's pursuit of overseas interests, they could not expect this person to protect him.
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Xiao Yu lightly and remained silent.
Sun Fujia had already said: "The Duke of Song Dynasty is wrong. As a supervisory censor, even though Le Yanwei has the power to report things after hearing the news, he had ulterior motives to frame the minister. This is an unpardonable crime. Could it be that the power to report the affairs after hearing the news? So you can confuse right and wrong, arbitrarily frame and slander, and not have to bear any responsibility afterwards? The current mood in the court is impetuous, and I am afraid it is all caused by this. The censor said that the officials have no fear of being unscrupulous, and this trend cannot last long. "
Ma Zhou echoed: "Not only that, Le Yanwei even took the impeachment case through the proceedings of Dali Temple. This was no longer just a rumor, but a false accusation against an important official of the imperial court. This man is so bold that he regards the law as nothing. It's hard to tell whether there was someone behind him or even instigating him to do this. Le Yanwei should be severely punished at this moment, so that the corrupt officials who are willing to fight for the powerful hawks and dogs will be shocked and frightened. Once they violate the law, No one can protect them according to the laws of the country!"
These words are simply equivalent to pointing at Xiao Yu's nose and saying that you instigated Le Yanwei to falsely accuse Fang Jun. Now you still want to keep Le Yanwei, do you still take the national law seriously?
Xiao Yu's face was red and his ears were red. He had been in court for decades. Even powerful officials such as Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling had never been so rude. They were pressed against the wall and could not get off the stage...
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu glanced at Ma Zhou and did not argue with him. Instead, he bowed his head to the emperor and said in a hoarse and frightened voice: "Old minister, I guarantee that Le Yanwei made an unintentional mistake. I also ask the emperor's sage to give him some advice." It’s an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.”
This is to sacrifice his old face and keep Le Yanwei...
Changsun Wuji also stood up and stood next to Xiao Yu. He also bowed his arms to the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please tell me clearly. Le Yanwei is always loyal to the country, upright and upright. Although he violated the national law this time, he should also Open the net and give them a chance to make corrections.”
He didn't want to stand up, but he had to.
Although the emperor's current methods of suppressing the aristocratic families have softened with the imminent Eastern Expedition, his determination has not wavered even a bit. Under the imperial power, no matter how powerful the Guanlong Group is, it will inevitably be alone. Uniting the Jiangnan nobles is the most economical and safe way.
It's just that I can't help complaining in my heart. This was a well-planned matter, but because of a stupid Le Yanwei, everything was passive...
Unhappy to the extreme.
"Ha..." His Majesty Li Er sneered.
Do you want to join forces to resist me?
He looked at Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji with a playful look. These were once his outstanding achievements on the way to the throne, but now, they have taken another path because of their own interests.
The aristocratic family members are really damn selfish...
Waving his hand to stop Sun Fuga who was about to speak, His Majesty Li Er said calmly: "The two beloved ladies are my humerus. Naturally, I will not refute such advice. Since you two are all interceding for Le Yanwei, , how can I not give you this face? Then, let this matter end here."
The emperor made the decision, and naturally no one objected. Sun Fuga and Ma Zhoujin both lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes and remained silent.
Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji bowed deeply and said in unison: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty..."
His Majesty Li Er looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "Remember, this matter ends here!"
The tone was stern and full of warnings. Whether it was Le Yanwei or Fang Jun, if they continued to pester him afterwards, it would inevitably lead to strong suppression from the emperor!
At that time, no one could save face...
Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji were shocked and quickly said: "Here!"
His Majesty Li Er nodded slowly.
This matter ends here, but other things... are not up to you.
His Majesty Li Er looked around and said, "Let's get back to the topic. My dear friends, what do you think we should do with Xuan Ling's resignation letter?"
No one from the ministers answered.
Fang Xuanling is the most powerful official in the Tang Dynasty. His fate is related to the change of supreme power. Who dares to speak easily?
Seeing that everyone was silent, His Majesty Li Er looked at the prince who had been silent since he spoke to Fang Jun. He raised his eyebrows and said warmly: "What do you think of the prince? You might as well come and discuss it with us."
The emperor was very satisfied with the prince's performance just now.
He was able to hold back his voice until both Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji stood up to express their attitude. Then the final word shocked the entire audience and suppressed the two powerful ministers with no way out. Finally, they had a bit of domineering power to dominate the world!
It is a good thing to have a gentle personality and generous character, but as a prince, if you are blindly benevolent and charitable, it will inevitably appear to be indecisive and benevolent like a woman. If you don't tame these ministers, how can you sit in this country safely?
Now that the prince's performance is getting better and better, His Majesty Li Er is naturally pleased...
The prince stood up and saluted, and replied: "Fang Xianggong is loyal to the country, diligent and wise, and is actually the humerus of my father and the pillar of the Tang Dynasty. With him sitting at the center and planning the world, my father can be safe and comfortable, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. But just like Fang As mentioned in the memorial, how can the years be ruthless, the disease is cruel, and the body is tortured, how can he manage the country with peace of mind and solve the problems for his father? Furthermore, when Fang Xiang entered the shogunate of his father, he was young and full of literary talent. Fast forward, now he is old and frail... Fang Xiang has devoted his life to serving the country, and when he is old, his father should be more gracious and honorable. In my opinion, Fang Xiang should be allowed to serve as an official, so that he can enjoy leisurely leisurely walks in the forest and springs. Only by having a good family relationship can we show that our father is considerate of our veterans, generous and benevolent, and we will surely be respected by the world and praised for generations to come."
His Majesty Li Er remained silent.
What the prince said is actually the truth. Fang Xuanling has been loyal to him for most of his life, and is now a very popular minister. Why not allow him to become an official while he is still on the sickbed, so that he can put down the tedious official duties and enjoy life with peace of mind?
But when I think about the fact that Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, two right-hand men, have helped him govern the country for so many years, Changsun Wuji has gradually moved to the edge of the center. When Fang Xuanling returns to his hometown after serving as an official, he will be surrounded by some descendants. For those who have grown up, it is inevitable to feel a sense of loss in their hearts, which is quite unaccustomed to...
The most important thing is that although Fang Xuanling's memorial is an invitation to resign, the words are full of grievances. To think that Fang Xuanling, who has always been calm and indifferent to the world, has to suffer such grievances in his old age, even if he is allowed to How could His Majesty Li Er not give Fang Xuanling an explanation when he became an official?
Since we can't punish Le Yanwei severely for the time being, we can only change the angle...
"My dear friends, what else can you say?"
"The prince's words are reasonable, and I agree with you."
"I second the proposal..."
Everyone in the main hall agreed with the prince.
Everyone can see that Fang Xuanling is determined to resign this time. Even if the emperor does not agree, I am afraid that Fang Xuanling will never go to court again. It is better to approve Fang Xuanling's resignation. On the one hand, everything is over. On the one hand, the righteousness of monarch and minister can also free up the position of chief and assistant...
His Majesty Li Er nodded slowly and said: "In this case, then Fang Xuanling is allowed to serve as an official, return to his hometown to retire, and enjoy his family. Fang Xuanling has been honest throughout his life, dedicated to the country, and worked hard for the empire. Even if he returns to his hometown after becoming an official, Nor can we forget his illustrious achievements. I now decree that the British Duke Li Ji be granted the title of Shangshu Zuopushe. Afterwards, all the ministers and assistants in the political affairs hall will discuss and make a decision. At the same time, I decree that the Marquis of Huating, Fangjun, will be appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he will take office immediately..."
All the ministers were astonished.
