Ever since he saw the report, Changsun Wuji had been extremely fearful and had been thinking about how to suppress this rookie.
How could Changsun Wuji allow such a monster to appear?
It was just that he was a little unsure about His Majesty Li Er's attitude, which made it difficult for Changsun Wuji to take action to suppress him, but now the time has come when he can't do anything without taking action.
After all, if this situation continues, within a few years, once Yang Fan's wings are full, not to mention his son's eldest grandson, even he himself will no longer be able to compete with him.
Although he was suspected of bullying the young, for the benefit of his family, Changsun Wuji could not care so much.
After saying this, Changsun Wuji secretly looked at His Majesty Li Er's reaction.
It's a pity that Changsun Wuji looked lonely, because Li Shimin's face didn't change at all, as if he didn't notice Changsun Wuji's suppression at all.
However, Changsun Wuji's behavior puzzled Fang Xuanling and other ministers.
Although Yang Fan is extremely favored, with Yang Fan's age and qualifications, he is not a threat to Changsun Wuji at all now, so why should he put down his body and speak out to suppress him now.
Is it just to divert everyone's attention from Hou Junji to Yang Fan?
Anyone who can sit in the political hall is not an extremely smart person, and they also know a lot about the various ways of officialdom.
Although everyone was a little surprised at first, they suddenly realized it once they thought about it.
Changsun Wuji suppressed Yang Fan regardless of his status, of course, not only to divert everyone's attention away from Hou Junji.
After all, the evidence of what Hou Junji did was conclusive, and it was impossible to quibble, and Changsun Wuji couldn't offend a new person with unlimited potential for Hou Junji.
Then there is only one other reason!
Apparently Changsun Wuji felt threatened by Yang Fan!
Of course, the status difference between Yang Fan and Changsun Wuji is now thousands of miles away, and their backgrounds are even worse than those of Changsun Wuji. Naturally, it is impossible to threaten Changsun Wuji.
The only possibility is that Yang Fan is blocking his son Changsun Chong's future and covering up Changsun Chong's excellence, so he wants to remove Yang Fan, a tree that thrives.
This surprised everyone. Has Yang Fan grown to this point without knowing it?
Thinking about what Yang Fan has done all this time, everything is shocking. It's just that they thought Yang Fan had no interest entanglements and didn't think too much about it.
People like Fang Xuanling, Li Ji and others who were close friends with Yang Fan couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. It really made Yang Fan proud enough to make Changsun Wuji, an old fox, so nervous.
Who among the younger generation can get such attention from Changsun Wuji.
However, Li Ji and others didn't even think of offering help. Instead, they acted as if they didn't hear anything, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.
Because they know that Yang Fan's biggest backer is not them, but His Majesty Li Er, and only His Majesty Li Er can stop him.
For a moment, the political hall fell silent again, and His Majesty Li Er was seen closing his eyes and meditating. He was neither sad nor happy, and could not see the joy, anger, sorrow, or joy at all. Instead, he subconsciously tapped his fingers on the desk of the desk.
His Majesty Li Er has long mastered the art of emperorship, how could he fail to see Changsun Wuji's concerns?
As his elder brother-in-law and an important minister that he relied on, Li Shimin couldn't help but weigh his words carefully. If it were another person, even if he suppressed him directly, it wouldn't be a big deal.
After all, the most outstanding thing about Datang's young talents is that they don't feel anything even if one of them is destroyed.
But Yang Fan was involved in this matter, which made Li Shimin a little embarrassed.
Not to mention the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce that made a fortune that day, not to mention the crops that produced fifty or sixty shi per acre, just this expedition to Tibet, His Majesty Li Er would never allow him to do this according to Changsun Wuji's ideas.
The reason is very simple. With a few thousand soldiers, he defeated the Tibetan army of tens of thousands, and faced it head-on twice. This kind of achievement has never been achieved even by Li Jing.
Of course His Majesty Li Er, who conquered the world on horseback, knew deeply how powerful the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry was.
It was written clearly and clearly in the memorial that Yang Fan was able to lead thousands of people to fight against Tibet and tens of thousands of cavalry, and also achieved a complete victory, relying on the application of Hongtianlei.
Although I don’t know what the Thunderbolt is or how powerful it is, judging from the description of the battlefield, it is definitely the most powerful weapon to restrain the cavalry.
If he wanted to achieve the hegemony of being an emperor for eternity and incorporate Goguryeo into the territory of the Tang Dynasty in his lifetime, he would definitely have to rely on Yang Fan.
To get him down would be to destroy his martial arts skills. Li Shimin was not that stupid yet.
More importantly, Li Shimin understands Yang Fan's character. If he really offends this kid, he doesn't care whether you are the emperor or not.
Because this kid values family ties but despises dignity, this is why Li Shimin wants to use his daughter to lock Yang Fan.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Yang Fan's matter will be put on hold for today. Dear friends, please discuss the crime of gathering the princes first. Do you want to be dismissed from office and escorted back to Beijing?"
"Your Majesty, Marquis Zhongyi has committed such a serious crime, how can he not deal with it first?" Changsun Wuji was a little stunned and said angrily.
His Majesty Li Er's deliberate favoritism made Changsun Wuji a little unacceptable. It was rare for him to reject his own suggestions so openly.
Even if Yang Fan has great achievements, his achievements cannot be overshadowed!
Besides, he didn't want to put Yang Fan to death, he just wanted to accuse him of disobedience and suppress him to prevent him from running away too fast.
With His Majesty Li Er's wisdom, he would never fail to see this.
Since His Majesty Li Er can see his intentions and still defends Yang Fan like this now, it is obvious that His Majesty Li Er is really interested in supporting Yang Fan to go further!
Suddenly, Changsun Wuji felt a thrill in his heart, and suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, feeling that His Majesty Li Er had a deeper meaning.
Could it be that...His Majesty Li Er wants to use this young man to check and balance the family?
But even if Yang Fan is a genius who has not been born for thousands of years, facing the huge power of the family, he is nothing more than a mantis trying to block the car. Changsun Wuji thought further and further, but became more and more anxious.
Seeing that Chang Sun Wuji was in a daze, Gao Shilian took over His Majesty Li Er's words and said: "Although Hou Junji has made great achievements as the general manager of the march, the merits are merits and the faults are faults. The impact of plundering and looting is bad. What's wrong with the bandits? I agree with the opinion of the British Duke that he should be escorted back to Beijing and handed over to Dali Temple for trial. He should act in accordance with the law. He should not ruin a pot of porridge with one piece of mouse droppings and discredit our army of the Tang Dynasty."
As the uncle of Changsun Wujia, Gao Shilian naturally did not want Changsun Wuji to displease His Majesty Li Er again, so he quickly returned to the topic.
It's just a bit unexpected that Changsun Wuji, who has always been extremely resourceful, could not see what His Majesty Li Er was thinking, and how could he not see that Li Jing and others were not entangled in this matter?
Changsun Wuji gradually calmed down and tried hard to say: "Although Hou Junji has had his past, he is still an important minister of the imperial court and has made great achievements. If he is confined to Dali Temple, it is not the way to treat a meritorious official. Please forgive me." Think twice.”
Changsun Wuji's words were reasonable and well-founded. His Majesty Li Er was a little hesitant and could only look at Fang Xuanling as if asking for help, hoping that this minister who was good at strategy could give him some advice.
Fang Xuanling knew that he could not speak anymore, so he pondered for a while and said slowly: "Rewarding merit and punishing delinquency is the way of a wise king. Although Hou Junji has made great contributions to the country, the crimes he committed in Tubo cannot be erased. His merits cannot be erased. If the fault does not offset the crime, just leave it to Dali Temple to find out the facts, as long as no severe punishment is required."
Seeing that the ministers had similar opinions, His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, and the matter was settled.
After discussing how to deal with Hou Junji, His Majesty Li Er took the memorial in his hand and smiled at everyone:
"This is a report that has been urgently sent from 800 miles away. The report says that Yang Fan, the Marquis of Zhongyi, led dozens of his guards in a beheading operation. Not only did he behead Lu Dongzan and his son, but he also rescued the King of Wu and how many people in Tubo were killed. The army of ten thousand collapsed and fled, and Marquis Zhongyi suggested setting up a Southwest Protectorate in Tubo. What do the ministers think?"
