Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2750
In the main hall of Xu's Manor, Fang Jun treated the wound again, changed into a set of clothes and sat in the middle, Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian who had just arrived accompanied him.

Fang Jun took a sip of hot tea, put down the teacup, stretched his arms and bones, and asked, "How is the prison situation at the Navy Prison?"

Su Dingfang said: "I have been detained one by one according to the commander's order, but..."

Seeing his hesitation, Fang Jun smiled and said: "You and I don't know each other, but it doesn't matter."

Su Dingfang felt relieved, lost his scruples, and said: "This matter shouldn't be discussed by officials, but the commander-in-chief wants to interrogate those soldiers from Suzhou County one by one, it really involves too much, I dare you to think twice."

Fang Jun nodded slowly, understanding what he meant.

The military preparations in Jiangnan have always been poor, and the stability of the entire Jiangnan situation is largely dependent on the private soldiers of the Jiangnan gentry. The so-called Suzhou county soldiers are just a place for the Jiangnan gentry to seek a military position for their children. Either a hooligan or a hooligan.

These people seem to be useless, but there is a Jiangnan gentry behind almost everyone. Once they are interrogated one by one, almost all the Jiangnan gentry will be involved in the matter that is interrogated. Regarding the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, what should we do then?
Is it possible to really imitate the Gu family who wiped out the former Sui royal family who secretly communicated with them, and bloodbath them overnight?
So Su Dingfang had concerns and advised him.

The current general trend is nothing more than the Eastern Expedition, and everything must be compromised for the sake of the Eastern Expedition. If Fang Jun, in a fit of anger, stirs up blood and blood in the south of the Yangtze River, which is rich in Tang Dynasty, and shakes the hearts of the people, I am afraid that His Majesty Li Er will be the first to be spared. not him.

He knew Fang Jun's character too well, and he was afraid that Fang Jun would ignore him in a fit of anger, so he tried his best to persuade him.

Fang Jun put down his teacup, and asked with a smile, "In your opinion, is he that impulsive and reckless man who doesn't care about the consequences?"

Su Dingfang looked embarrassed, glanced at Pei Xingjian with lowered eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and said nothing, and scolded the little bastard for his lack of loyalty, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "The last general dare not, at least the title 'reckless' is absolutely Not the last general's intention."

Not a "reckless man", but it is true to be impulsive and reckless, regardless of the consequences...

Fang Jun laughed out loud, thinking that although Su Dingfang was old and prudent, he could still make some harmless jokes sometimes. Everyone thinks that a certain person will kill in a fit of anger, and all the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River must have the same idea at the moment, which is very good."

It doesn't matter whether you kill or not, as long as you both know to be afraid.

Su Dingfang thought about it for a while, and then understood Fang Jun's intentions. He breathed a sigh of relief, and flattered him: "The Duke of Yue, a young hero, is the pillar of the country. He really has a plan and everything is under control. The general is stupid. I admire him." .”

Fang Jun waved his hand: "You, Su Dingfang, are a generation of famous generals who want to lead the navy to sail across the seven seas. What's the matter with being so flattering when you speak?"

In the middle of the conversation, a soldier from outside the door stepped in and said: "Suzhou Inspector Mu Yuanzuo is asking to see him outside the door."

Fang Jun said, "Let him in."

After saying that, he leaned his upper body back on the chair, tried his best to relax the injured back muscles, and said with a smile: "This time, a certain person suffered a catastrophe and survived from death, but this guy took advantage of it for nothing."

Su Dingfang frowned in puzzlement, but he didn't ask. He knew that he was a complete layman when it came to political struggles, and he didn't care about those tedious conflicts of human interests, sophistication, and conflicts of interests. He just needed to follow Fang Jun's footsteps and lead good soldiers. These annoying things I have Fang Jun to take care of it.

Pei Xingjian is well versed in the rules of the officialdom, and enviously said: "Mu Inspector has been in office for many years, and in two years at most, his merits will be assessed when the officials are selected. If he can win the support of most of the Jiangnan gentry, Support, presumably there will be some remarkable performance in the next two years, and it will be a matter of course when it goes straight to the center."

Fang Jun took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "The rules above the officialdom are nothing more than the set of collaborating with cronies and repelling dissidents. Throughout the ages, it has been hopeless and disadvantageous. The so-called difference is that some people hold power for the sake of It is better to make profits for themselves, while some people do more things for the power to make profits for the country. Different positions and different starting points mean different endings. If the former holds power, the government will be corrupt and the government will be dark. Those who hold power, that is, the country is strong and the people are rich, and congratulations from all directions. We dare not call ourselves saints, nor dare to be called together with Jiang Shang and Guan Zhong, but we will do our best to make a career and develop a dynasty hand in hand In the prosperous age, when children read history books after thousands of years, if they can salute and praise us when they recite our name, then we will not be in vain to come to this world!"

Pei Xingjian is most passionate about power, but he deeply hates the way of those elites. Hearing this, he suddenly felt a sense of confidant, and said with emotion: "Listening to the king's words is better than reading ten years of books! The Duke of Yue is a high-spirited and honest man, and he is really a model for our generation. , in this life, you should follow the left and right, willingly serve, create meritorious deeds, and be famous in history!"

Su Dingfang was also moved and said: "Duke Yue's boldness makes the general ashamed, and he is willing to do the work of dogs and horses!"

……

While speaking, Mu Yuanzuo quickly stepped inside, stood at the door shaking off the rain on his body, stepped forward to salute, and said, "Your Majesty has seen the Duke of Yue."

Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian, as subordinate officials, also got up to greet them.

After the ceremony, they were seated separately. Pei Xingjian moved a seat outside, Su Dingfang sat in his seat, and left the seat on Fang Jun's left to Mu Yuanzuo.

Sitting down separately, Fang Jun poured tea for Mu Yuanzuo with his own hands, and Mu Yuanzuo hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Duke Yue!"

Putting down the teapot, Fang Jun casually asked, "How's the situation outside? There must be many people looking for ways to come to your governor's house, right?"

Mu Yuanzuo said in a deep voice: "The Duke of Yue was attacked this time, and this official is duty-bound. I am really ashamed of the Duke of Yue's support for many years, let alone causing several His Highnesses to be in danger. Die! There are indeed many people who begged the lower official, but the lower official is worried about the safety of the Duke of Yue, how can he have time to pay attention to them? Even if he pays attention to it, he will never dare to sell favors, and everything will be decided by the Duke of Yue!"

Although the whole matter has nothing to do with him, as the governor of Suzhou, he is duty-bound. As long as Fang Jun has something wrong, he must take responsibility.

Although he didn't think Fang Jun would take his anger out on him, he had to show his attitude.

Sure enough, Fang Jun waved his hand casually: "You are just a governor, and you are not the emperor of the south of the Yangtze River. How can you control everything? Besides, this matter is aimed at a certain person, and the forces involved are unknown. Few, no need to blame yourself."

"Here!"

Mu Yuanzuo breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked, "Then, how does Duke Yue plan to deal with this matter?"

Fang Jun picked up the teacup and drank tea. After putting down the teacup, without lifting his eyelids, he said calmly, "A certain person was stabbed in the back. This stabbing can't be done in vain."

Mu Yuanzuo was thoughtful.

Fang Jun continued: "The naval division has already stepped up the interrogation. Anyone who is involved, please cooperate with the Suzhou government to strictly investigate. Although we can't overcorrect, we can't let any suspect go!"

Mu Yuanzuo hurriedly said: "The lower officials will definitely cooperate with the navy, but after all, the navy is only a local garrison and has no right to govern the prefectures and counties. The navy arrests people from house to house. Is it inappropriate to flout the laws of the country?"

If everything is done by the navy master, then his influence in this matter is really too low...

Fang Jun glanced at him indifferently, and said slowly: "When the interrogation is over, a certain meeting will write a memorial and submit it to His Majesty, and clearly inform His Majesty about the extremely corrupt situation of the soldiers in Suzhou County. Under such circumstances, naturally It is up to the navy to intervene to ensure that none of the participants is spared."

Mu Yuanzuo was terrified by his glance, knowing that his careful thoughts could not be concealed from others, so he quickly said: "Mr. Yue Guo has learned from you. I will obey all orders."

Fang Jun then withdrew his gaze, and it was enough to just hit it a little bit, and the benefits that should be given still had to be given: "This time I went south, I just came here under the threat of His Royal Highness King Wei, although I was assassinated, but the whole thing ended However, it still depends on His Royal Highness King Wei's intentions. When you have nothing to do, go to His Highness for a while, ask for instructions, ask a lot, and nothing will go wrong."

Mu Yuanzuo understood, this is to let His Royal Highness King Wei eat the big head, and I eat the small head...

However, he was already satisfied, and respectfully said: "Your Majesty understands the meaning of Yue Guogong, and will definitely do my best to not disappoint His Royal Highness King Wei and Yue Guogong."

Fang Jun said comfortingly, "It's good that you understand."

After saying this, another soldier came in to report: "The Patriarch of the Shen family is out to plead guilty and ask to see the commander-in-chief!"

Fang Jun looked playfully: "Shen Lun? Hehe, I'm not here."

The soldiers took orders and left.

Fang Jun looked at Mu Yuanzuo, who immediately understood, got up and said, "I will go to His Royal Highness King Wei to ask for instructions, and I will come back later to wait for the Duke of Yue to dispatch."

Fang Jun said happily: "Yes."

Mu Yuanzuo raised his hand to Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian, then turned and walked out.
