Fang Jun frowned and said, "Who is so capable that he can name so many royal kings?"
Li Yuanjia hesitated and said: "Other than King Jing, who can do this, and who dares to do this?"
He didn't want to say it, lest Fang Jun would be angry and go to trouble King Jing, making the situation even more uncontrollable. But the matter involves so many royal kings, and no one can hide it if they want to. If you check it carefully, it is not difficult to find that King Jing is connected in it.
It's just that he understands Fang Jun's character. Sometimes when he seems to be helpless, this guy will often get angry and use this method to open up the situation.
He quickly warned: "Don't go looking for trouble with King Jing. Although it is a bit arrogant to connect the royal kings, but they are doing it in the name of protecting the children of Princess Pingyang Zhao, which makes sense even in front of His Majesty. If you rashly Go and question, people are using this excuse to prevaricate you, there is nothing wrong with you at all. If you are not angry and hard-hearted, it will arouse the backlash of the entire royal family. Now that His Majesty is not in the capital, no one can suppress it, and big trouble will happen! "
There is something unsaid here: It is you who want to engage Chai Zhewei first. Although this is in compliance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it does not comply with the rules of officialdom.
Fang Jun understands this truth.
In any dynasty, auditing a department's accounts without any reason would be a deadly move. No one can be as clear as water or as bright as a mirror. Even if the chief officer can be as clear as a breeze, the officials below cannot.
Being an official for thousands of miles just for money may not be so shallow, but people in this world are bound to be worldly, and it is impossible to isolate everything and live in their own world. If you want to check it out, you will probably find something wrong.
Perhaps there is only one weirdo like Hai Rui in the world, and the result is obvious...
Under normal circumstances, such a surprise inspection cannot be carried out on a certain department without sufficient evidence or necessity. It is somewhat unfair for the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War to suddenly dispatch personnel to inspect Zuenwei. Since you can blatantly want to get rid of Chai Zhewei, why can't we make great efforts to keep him?
To put it bluntly, it’s just that everyone is not following the rules. If we don’t comply, it will be no good for anyone if the situation becomes serious.
Even if most people in the royal family knew that Chai Zhewei had a problem, otherwise they would not have set fire to the account books - there was no accidental fire, and even if it was an accident, no one would believe it - they were still determined to follow the call of Li Yuanjing and the prince. It is made of hard steel, because this is to safeguard the interests of the royal family. If this is the case in the court and in the future, and they can attack whoever they want, then won't everyone have to eat and sleep all day long?
So the reason why rules are rules is because they safeguard the interests of most people. Anyone who wants to break the rules will face the backlash from most people.
Facts have proved that, at least at this moment, Li Yuanjia's choice was right, because no one can bear the consequences of turmoil in the royal family due to dissatisfaction with Chai Zhewei's removal.
Fang Jun also realized that his eagerness to get rid of Chai Zhewei was a bit reckless, which aroused the resentment of the entire royal family, so Li Yuanjing called from the center and immediately counterattacked.
But I will definitely not admit it...
"His Royal Highness, as the Grand Sect Master, is in charge of all affairs of the royal family, but now he has to be suppressed by the royal family. Not only is he helpless, but he is also being led by others. It is really surprising. The most difficult thing in the world is to have a clear mind. But the power is insufficient. Since His Highness cannot manage the affairs of the royal family, and he still has to struggle with it, and even becomes ill with anger and is depressed in his heart, why not just submit a letter to resign and live a leisurely life of freedom and wealth from now on? After all, you have to have some points. Only with self-knowledge can you live a free and easy life, and it is really difficult to tie a duck up and put it on the shelf."
Li Yuanjia's handsome face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot...
unacceptable! There's no such harm in swearing, right?
"My purpose is to take care of the overall situation! The stability of the royal family is crucial to the stability of the capital and even the entire Guanzhong. If this causes turmoil in the entire Guanzhong and affects the smooth implementation of the Eastern Expedition, your Majesty will be angry and investigate the responsibility. He will be the first to bear the brunt. It’s His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! How could Erlang not only be unappreciative of me, but instead be sarcastic?"
"Haha, you said one thing after another. In the final analysis, isn't it because His Highness cannot control the royal family that this situation arises?"
"..."
Li Yuanjia was so angry that he almost turned the table over. If it weren't for Fang Jun in front of him...
Taking a deep breath, he shook his head and said: "No matter what you say, it is the fact. In addition, I would like to advise Erlang not to attack a general who is in charge of the army easily. Unless you are absolutely certain, once there is a backlash, the consequences will be severe." It’s unimaginable.”
Fang Jun disapproved, but he reflected in his heart that he was indeed reckless this time.
It would be fine if His Majesty Li Er sat in Chang'an. No one would dare to take risks and risk the disapproval of the world. However, the current situation is that Guanzhong is empty of troops. Once Chai Zhewei is afraid that he will lose all his military power and title, he may even be thrown into a prison. To punish the crime, and then give a desperate blow...
Not to mention the outcome of Chai Zhewei, neither Fang Jun nor Li Chengqian can bear this responsibility.
Whether it is the rebellious Guanlong nobles, the eyeing Jiangnan gentry, the Shandong aristocratic family, or even the evil-minded Li Yuanjing, who would give up such a golden opportunity? Maybe the next moment there will be wars and wars all over Guanzhong, destroying the foundation of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop...
Seeing that Fang Jun was silent, Li Yuanjia knew that he had listened, so he warned again: "No matter when, where, or what situation we face, the most important thing is to be steady, and then be steady again! Don't Do you believe in the nonsense that soldiers are valuable and quick? The battle in the court is not a battle. Only by stabilizing one's position and not being impulsive or making mistakes can one be invincible. The result of a rash attack is often a slight loss. If he was negligent, he would be caught by the enemy, and he would be completely defeated from then on, with no chance to make a comeback."
Fang Jun sighed, raised his glass and said, "Listening to His Highness's words, I am indeed a bit reckless this time. I would like to dedicate this glass of wine to Your Highness."
Li Yuanjia felt relieved immediately and said with a smile: "It's good if Erlang can listen."
Clink the glasses together and drink it all in one gulp.
This time it was Fang Jun's turn to hold the pot, fill the wine glass, raised it again, and said: "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. In the past, I did not look down on your highness, and felt guilty. I would like to take this glass to express my apology."
Li Yuanjia became even more happy. How had this brother-in-law ever lowered his head in front of him? He immediately raised his glass and drank it all again.
Fang Jun poured wine again...
Li Yuanjia quickly covered the cup with his hand and said: "I don't have enough drinking capacity, so I don't dare to drink like this..."
Fang Jun dropped his hand, poured wine into the cup with the pot in his hand, and said displeasedly: "What do you call this? As the saying goes, a thousand cups are too little for a close friend. Our uncle has never sat together and had a good drink in such a calm manner before. A few drinks, it’s such a rare opportunity today, you can’t just give up after three drinks, right?”
Li Yuanjia grimaced and had no choice but to let him fill the glass, then raised the glass and drank.
As soon as he put the wine glass on the table, Fang Jun took the pot and poured wine again...
Li Yuanjia hurriedly said: "I can't drink as much as Erlang. Can we stop here?"
No matter how bad his drinking capacity is, he will not be able to hold back these two drinks, but he always knows that Fang Junzhi's drinking capacity is extremely high, and no one can compete with him. If he drinks like this, he may not know how he will die...
Fang Jun couldn't shirk it, so he knocked off his hand that was covering the wine glass again, and said with an unhappy expression: "Your Highness, you look down on so-and-so? This is not a court, you are not a prince, and so-and-so is not a minister. We don't care about the official title, we just talk about Family friendship.”
The wine glass was filled, and Li Yuanjia looked sad.
This guy had made it clear. Although he accepted his explanation and recognized the result, he still felt unhappy in his heart. So now it's just my brother-in-law who goes to his brother-in-law's house to drink. If he doesn't accompany him, don't blame him for getting angry.
When it comes to titles and official positions, it would be disrespectful for Fang Jun to be rude. ,
But if my brother-in-law and brother-in-law lose their temper when they are drinking, not even the emperor can control it.
Li Yuanjia grimaced and had to drink another drink.
At this moment, I really regretted it in my heart. If the princess could at least block him here, although this stick was unscrupulous, he still respected the princess very much. As a result, the princess had drunk two more drinks earlier and returned to the back house early. Fell asleep.
Even the waiter was kicked out, and even if he wanted to find someone to report the news, he couldn't...
