Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4038 Unexplainable
In the Hall of Martial Virtue, everyone looked at Fang Jun in bewilderment. This guy first handed in his resignation, which caused the current turmoil, but turned around, but sincerely admitted his mistake, which is simply inexplicable...

His Majesty Li Er couldn't figure out Fang Jun's routine, so he looked at him suspiciously with frowning eyebrows, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Fang Jun bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and the ancient emperors are beyond the reach. Under the protection of His Majesty, hundreds of millions of people in the world can enjoy long-term peace and prosperity, and have ample food and clothing. They should be grateful. The humble minister has been loved by His Majesty and cultivated all the way. With support, I can achieve today's achievements, but I don't know how to sympathize with His Majesty's difficulties, and only care about my own feelings, which has caused divergent public opinions and harmed His Majesty's dignity. Your Majesty will serve the world like a dog and a horse!"

After saying that, he lifted his clothes and knelt down on the ground.

These words are sincere and sincere, and it looks and sounds like sincere repentance and guilt...

His Majesty Li Er choked for a moment, his original anger didn't dissipate much, but he found that it was difficult to severely punish this bastard who caused him to be slandered by public opinion.

If such a meritorious courtier sincerely admits his mistakes in front of him, if he categorically chews them out and then punishes them severely, wouldn't it confirm the rumors of "harsh treatment of meritorious service" in the market?

He thought about it carefully, it seemed that he hadn't felt such a feeling of suffocation for a long time, he was in a dilemma...

Xiao Yu and Cen Wenwen looked at each other, coughed dryly, and said: "Your Majesty, although Duke Yue's previous resignation was a bit reckless, he is still young, and sometimes he is unavoidable to think carefully, and his behavior may be more affected by his mood. Now that I realize my mistake, I should give it a lesson and let it go.”

Fang Jun glanced at Xiao Yu, this old thing is really dark...

What is "behavior affected by mood"?It is clear that the reason why he submitted his resignation was that he was dissatisfied with His Majesty because he was seized of military power by Guo before, so he did this impulsively... Is this to help Fang Jun out of the siege, and give His Majesty a step up?
The king is the leader of the ministers. For the courtiers, "thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king". If the king demotes you, you will be dissatisfied. If you are punished, will you have to rebel?

Heartbreaking words.

Fortunately, Fang Jun was not fighting alone in the court. He didn't need to speak out. Li Daozong, who had been silent all the time, said: "Zhenguan Academy was created by Yue Guogong after asking His Majesty. He devoted countless efforts and energy, and now it has been brutally poisoned by the flames of war." , dilapidated, he is anxious, and it is reasonable to want to step down from his post and focus on the construction of the academy. However, in my opinion, the Duke of Yue has just passed his weak years and is full of energy, so he can take on more important responsibilities."

This could be regarded as rudely sending Xiao Yu back.

Xiao Yu raised her gray eyebrows, but she didn't speak.

Liu Ji on the side did not hesitate to brush up his sense of presence: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and he should be the leader."

His Majesty Li Er sneered, Gan Gang is arbitrary?I was arbitrarily arbitrary before, but you bastard actually refuted my imperial decree... Damn!
Even though Liu Jie tried his best to restore the impact of the refutation of the imperial decree, His Majesty Li Er obviously became more and more angry at him, and ignored him. He just stared at Fang Jun for a while, and then slowly said: "I have always been to you. I love you, and you have never let me down, now that you have realized your mistake, how can I be so harsh on you? Alright, this matter ends here, and you will work with your heart in the future, don't let me worry about it."

He knew that this was Fang Jun's strategy of retreating to advance, but even if he knew, what could he do?Compared with reprimanding him for contacting all his positions, his reputation and prestige are the most important, and this is what Fang Jun relied on for his conspiracy.

The officials in the palace have different thoughts, and they all understand that Fang Jun's operation not only keeps his current position, but also becomes more stable than before. At least after His Majesty expresses his position in public, he can no longer deprive Fang Jun of his official position and power at will.

The situation seems to have reached an equilibrium.

Of course, balance means stagnation, which means that the current interests have reached a stable state, but the interests of some people can only be found in the turmoil...

Just when everyone thought that today's discussion had come to an end, Li Ji suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Duke Qiao was attached to King Jing earlier, and was accidentally injured by the right guard, which led to the complete defeat of the left guard. So far, there are less than ten generals. I can’t take on the duties of guarding the Xuanwu Gate, I implore Your Majesty to appoint someone to take over as the General of the Zuo Tunwei, reorganize the Zuo Tunwei, and ensure the safety of the Xuanwu Gate.”

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Li Ji with a little surprise, while Li Ji lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. After saying this, he returned to his previous state of silence.

As we all know, the left and right guards were reorganized after His Majesty ascended the throne, and they were stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate to guard the safety of the palace. At present, only the right guards are strong and strong, and the left guards have already been completely defeated.

For the safety of the palace, balance is the kingly way. The left and right guards support each other and restrain each other, so as to ensure the safety of the palace.Now that Li Ji mentions that the Right Tunwei needs to be reorganized to perform its functions, is he reminding His Majesty that the Right Tunwei cannot be trusted, and there will be unexpected changes if he stays at Xuanwumen for a long time, or does he want to install people to seize the position of "General Zuo Tunwei"?
Just look at who proposes this candidate next...

His Majesty Li Er sat firmly like a mountain, looked around, saw no one making a sound, then nodded and said: "The British Duke is very thoughtful, as it should be. I just don't know if the British Duke has a candidate who can take up this position?"

Li Ji shook his head: "The Zuo Tunwei was defeated, the hearts of the people were scattered, the army was extremely short of generals, and the morale was low. It is extremely difficult to recover. It is not easy to restore the former glory."

This is true, the Zuo Tunwei stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate not only had to be horns with the right Tunwei, but also had to restrain each other.But the guards of the right guards are strong, strong and powerful, and they have not lost a single battle after many battles. Even half of the guards of the right guards have defeated the guards of the left guards and the royal army. The purpose of restraining the balance?
Now that Zuo Tunwei is falling apart, it is not difficult to rebuild it, but it is even more difficult to compete with You Tunwei after reorganization.

Several ministers who wanted to take the opportunity to recommend their own people refrained. The position of the General of the Sixteenth Guards is indeed attractive, but the position of the General of the Zuo Tunwei is a pile of fire. Whoever sits on it will feel uncomfortable. If you have no merit, you will be reprimanded by His Majesty instead, and your future will be ruined.

His Majesty Li Er looked at the crowd again: "If you have a suitable candidate, no matter how much you say, you might as well recommend it, and let's discuss it together."

The ministers all shook their heads, this candidate is really too difficult.

Everyone even filtered all the nobles of the Zhenguan one by one. Those people are indeed of great military exploits and outstanding abilities, but now they are either holding important positions, or they are very old, or they have passed away long ago. None of them are suitable.

As for the younger generation of generals in the army, almost all the outstanding ones were trained by Fang Jun's subordinates...

Seeing that everyone was silent, His Majesty Li Er said: "The safety of Xuanwu Gate is more serious than Mount Tai, and the Zuo Tunwei is the most important thing. It is necessary to choose a person with outstanding ability and who can convince everyone. The Royal Navy Commander Su Dingfang, what do you all think?"

"..."

The ministers were surprised at first, and then looked at Fang Jun together.

In the past few years, Su Dingfang served as the commander of the navy, leading the royal navy across the sea, invincible in the seven seas, and ravaged the Eastern and Southern Ocean countries. The aristocratic families in Haimao all know the power of the navy, and even more the ability of Su Dingfang.

But everyone also knows that Su Dingfang, as Li Jing's disciple, has been suppressed by Li Jizhi for many years and has been depressed. Fang Jun single-handedly trained him to become the first commander of the navy.

The Right Tunwei was reorganized by Fang Jun, and his loyal subordinates were all in the army. Even if Li Daozong took over now, Fang Jun's influence would never be reduced too much in a short period of time.If Zuo Tunwei is reorganized and organized by Su Dingfang, Fang Jun's confidant... Wouldn't the Xuanwu Gate allow Fang Jun to enter and exit?
If this suggestion was made by someone else, there will probably be a minister jumping up and scolding, "His heart is damnable", are you still letting His Majesty the emperor sleep?

But at this moment, it was His Majesty Li Er himself who proposed it, naturally everyone was surprised and couldn't figure it out...

Even if he wanted to continue to seize Fang Jun's control over the navy, he could place Su Dingfang elsewhere. A high-ranking promotion would be enough, so why put him outside the Xuanwu Gate?

Seeing that no one answered, His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun and asked, "What do Duke Yue think?"

Fang Jun pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Su Dingfang is mature and prudent, with outstanding ability, and he will definitely be qualified for the post of General Zuo Tunwei. And in the past few years, he has led the navy to conquer countless foreign countries and foreign lands, and open up the sea for the Great Tang. More than tens of thousands of miles? In addition, during the Eastern Expedition, the whole navy was not only responsible for the logistics and supplies of the army, but also contributed to Ping Rang City when they arrived at the battle.

His Majesty Li Er asked again: "If Su Dingfang is transferred back to the capital to be in charge of the reorganization of the Zuo Tunwei, who should be in charge of the Royal Navy?"

Fang Jun replied: "Lieutenant General Liu Rengui is competent enough."

His Majesty Li Er was noncommittal, and asked the ministers: "Do you have any suggestions for the candidate for the Navy Commander?"

All the ministers shook their heads, there must be some suggestions, but what's the use of even bringing them up?Compared with Youtunwei, the Royal Navy was built by Fang Jun. Everyone obeys orders. Even if a coach is airborne, it will be light if it is lifted up. The sea is vast and there are countless pirates. When will you go to sea? It is possible to feed the fish and turtles in one trip...

The navy can only be Fang Jun's navy, even under the banner of "Royal", even His Majesty can't intervene at all.
