Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 575 Loyalty
As a man who is determined to become the first emperor through the ages, His Majesty Li Er thinks that all the court affairs are under his control, which is his pride, so he is willing to treat those leftovers from the previous dynasty, and even the hidden prince Li Jiancheng. The forces show tolerance to show their tolerance.

But what happened one after another recently made him angry.

First, the case of Hou Junji's rebellion was a stab in the heart of His Majesty Li Er. So many old subordinates who followed him in the north and south, actually wanted to rebel against him?
Immediately after that, the censors and officials gathered together to impeach Fang Jun.

For the sake of selfish desires, disregarding the interests of the empire and the dignity of the emperor, and so unscrupulously smearing, slandering, attacking and destroying a young talent who has made countless contributions to the empire, what is the integrity?Where is the bottom line?
Instead of impeaching Fang Jun like this, it's better to send warmth to the audience who are full of collapsed houses in the heavy snow...

His Majesty Li Er was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

However, Changsun Wuji just stood by silently, neither fanning the flames nor persuading him to stop him.

Just when His Majesty Li Er was pondering how to deploy the means of violent storms and impose the most severe punishment on these unscrupulous censors, so as to deter the masters behind these guys. , The chamberlain is in charge, and Fang Jun asks to see you.

His Majesty Li Er was slightly stunned, while Changsun Wuji narrowed his slender eyes.

Is this kid here to beg to see His Majesty at this time?
Fang Jun asked to see him, so His Majesty Li Er could not be seen.

After a while, Fang Jun was led down to the hall by the servant.

"Wei Chen has seen His Majesty and Zhao Guogong." As soon as he entered the hall, Fang Jun bowed deeply.

His Majesty Li Er said indifferently: "No ceremony." Looking at Fang Jun's calm face, he asked again, "What is the purpose of coming to see me when I am not revising school books in Chongxian Hall at this hour?"

Fang Jun said respectfully: "Wei Chen is here, I have something to ask Your Majesty."

Zhangsun Wuji snorted and said in a cold voice, "Is it possible that I came to beg Your Majesty to give you a favor?"

His Majesty Li Er didn't speak, just looked at Fang Jun indifferently.

Even if Fang Jun came to beg himself, it was understandable.After all, this kind of scene where almost all the censors speak up and impeach a person is extremely rare in history books, and even more unheard of since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

The sense of oppression caused by this situation and the offensive of public opinion formed in the world, even those veteran officials who are used to seeing the wind and waves, are inevitably unable to bear under the heavy pressure, let alone Fang Jun, who has never experienced the real struggle of the court?

Fang Jun's expression was calm, and he ignored the eldest grandson Wuji, but said solemnly: "Weichen asks Your Majesty not to punish those censors who impeach Weichen."

His Majesty Li Er was stunned.

Are you going to intercede for those censors who impeached you?
This style is wrong!Didn't you Fang Jun always have revenge and revenge, and spare no effort to attack the enemy?
Is there something hidden in this thing?
His Majesty Li Er's mind was running fast, thinking whether there was some trick behind Fang Jun's move that he hadn't realized yet...

The eldest grandson Wuji said disdainfully: "Why, Fang Erlang has to play a hard-to-play trick to show your uprightness and make His Majesty sigh your magnanimity, even if he impeaches you all day, he is not willing to deal with you. This gentleman of the light and the moon?"

Inside and out, full of ridicule.

Zhangsun Wuji thought that he could see through Fang Jun's intention at a glance. This little bastard must have been frightened by the mad impeachment from the court. Seeing the situation where everyone was shouting and beating rats across the street, he had to run to the emperor's place. To demonstrate, to retreat.

I have to say that Changsun Wuji thought Fang Jun's move was very clever.

His Majesty Li Er is very contradictory. He can raise a butcher's knife to his brother, and he can also laugh at many enemies.

Fang Jun is very likely to seize the point that His Majesty Li Er is nostalgic for his old love, and get His Majesty Li Er's pity and forgiveness.As long as His Majesty Li Er doesn't plan to deal with him, even if the whole world impeaches Fang Jun, what's the use?
So Changsun Wuji just picked it up, for fear that His Majesty Li Er will be soft-hearted and be fooled by this little bastard. If he makes any promises, then Fang Jun will pass the test...

His Majesty Li Er naturally thought of this, and looked at Fang Jun with a bit of a bad look.

He really cherishes Fang Jun very much in his heart. After the elder Sun Chong, Fang Jun is the talented one among the younger generation. How can he not focus on cultivating him?He even made up his mind that Fang Jun's highest position in the next 20 years would be Fang Jun's highest position in the next [-] years. No matter how good he did, he would not be promoted again.

And wait until he is 200 years old, and his successor will add an official to Fang Jun to show his favor!

He wants to train Fang Jun, and when the crown prince succeeds, Fang Jun will surely grow into a pillar of the empire!
But it's one thing to forgive Fang Jun yourself. Fang Jun used his nostalgia for his old feelings and his sympathy to escape this turmoil, so it would be unbearable!What do you hate most about being an emperor?The most hated ministers regard him as a fool and turn the emperor around!
His Majesty Li Er's face was hard to look at. With a gloomy face, he said coldly, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Fang Jun still bowed, stretched his arms forward, and folded his hands, maintaining the most perfect ceremonial posture, and said solemnly: "Since ancient times, those who are wise rulers must open up their ways of speaking, accept criticism widely, and listen to what they do. Faith is dark. If a monarch can widely listen to opinions from all sides, he can be called a wise monarch, but if he only believes in one person's words, or even stubbornly uses his words, he will inevitably be a cowardly monarch. The monarch should listen to the general public, so as to fully understand the situation in all aspects, and not be deceived by one or two people. Although the impeachment of the Weichen official by the censor today is mostly nonsense, if your majesty punishes them one by one , in the future, who will dare to speak out? It's not easy to open the way of speech and let the ministers speak the truth, but if you want to block it, it's too easy! Although the words of these censors' officials are a bit excessive now, but Flaws do not hide the beauty, and you cannot give up food because of choking. The Tang Dynasty established the country, relying on His Majesty's wise and martial arts, and on the solemnity and justice of the law. I urge Your Majesty to handle everything in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

His Majesty Li Er was a little stunned. This stick and hammer was ramming the goods, and he actually talked about such a profound topic as why he was Mingjun?

What made him even more puzzling was that since Fang Jun said so, it proved that he came here after understanding the laws of the Tang Dynasty.In the Tang Dynasty regulations, it is expressly stipulated that the official of the censor can hear and report things, and even if it is wrong, he should not be held responsible.This regulation is to encourage the censors to be brave in supervising the officials of the world, and not to worry about impeachment mistakes and not being able to bear the consequences.

If the Censor's impeachment is true, Fang Jun is guilty;

If Fang Jun is innocent, the censor's official is not aware of it, and there is nothing at all...

This seems very unfair to Fang Jun, but Fang Jun chose such an unfair method, even rejecting His Majesty Li Er's implicit love for him.

Is this kid stupid?
Zhangsun Wuji frowned and looked suspiciously at Fang Jun, who seemed to be full of integrity. He didn't think Fang Jun could have such political wisdom. It was definitely a trick that Fang Xuanling's old fox gave to Fang Jun behind his back!

Looking at His Majesty Li Er's expression, Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat, it was going to be bad!

Sure enough, His Majesty Li Er was very moved, what kind of minister is a good minister?Talent, ability, loyalty, etc., etc., these are all factors that a good courtier must possess.But just like Fang Jun, he will bear all the grievances himself, and he must also maintain the justice and strictness of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and also maintain the unimpeded speech of the Tang Dynasty. Best example!
Such a courtier, such a son-in-law, may I ask, does the emperor not like it?
His Majesty Li Er was very excited, took two steps forward, patted Fang Jun on the shoulder affectionately, and praised: "Okay, okay, okay! If my Tang Dynasty were all ignorant officials like Erlang, why would the world not be prosperous? , Why is the empire not strong? It's just like this, but it is to be wronged with you, which makes me feel at ease?"

His Majesty Li Er is in control of the "hundred cavalry", and Fang Jun's movements are clear and unmistakable. Naturally, he knows that most of those impeachments are chasing shadows, or even creating things out of nothing. Seeing Fang Jun's grievances like this, he can take care of the overall situation. Not happy?

Fang Jun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Wei Chen will naturally deny these charges..."
