Chapter 3820 The Battle of Words
Liu Ji hated Fang Jun's actions of sending troops to attack Guanlong's army from time to time without authorization. Although he had achieved fruitful results many times, the efforts of Liu Ji and the civil servants belonging to the Eastern Palace for the peace talks were wasted. How could he not be angry?
That is to say, Fang Jun's high-ranking and unscrupulous temperament made the civil servants deeply jealous. If it were another person, these civil servants would probably be able to rush up and beat him up to dispel their hatred.
The civil servants of the Tang Dynasty were not powerless scholars. Even a pure civil servant like Liu Ji had practiced his fists, knives, knives and sticks when he was young. , the civil servants swarmed up, no one could stop it...
Fang Jun didn't take Liu Ji's anger seriously, and said flatly, "I will do my best."
Liu Wei laughed angrily: "Don't use such insincere words to prevaricate His Highness and this official. The private army of the Yang family in Luoyang outside the city was destroyed, but what did you do?"
Fang Jun categorically denied: "As a servant, you are the prime minister of the court. Everything you say and do represents the dignity of the court. You are not just a gossip in the market. Let me ask you, is there any meaning in your words? evidence?"
Liu Ji glared at each other, how could he have evidence?
Fang Jun sneered and said, "Without proof, you speak so nonsense, slandering the important officials of the court and the nobles of the empire, what is your intention? Do you still have the laws of the Tang Dynasty in your eyes, the righteous way in the world, and His Royal Highness? Heart to death!"
Luoyang Yang's?Hehe, just wait and see, all the powerful and private armies that have entered Guanzhong will not be able to return in the end...
Liu Ji was so angry that his beard was furious, and he scolded angrily: "Ignore the law, don't pay attention to the safety of the Eastern Palace, and even bite back, how rampant!"
Fang Jun retorted: "How about you?"
I'm going crazy, are you coming to hit me?
Liu Jie claimed that although he was not a refined and sage, he was by no means a reckless person, but every time he faced Fang Jun, he lost his ground and his moral heart, and wished he could roll up his sleeves and rush forward to fight fiercely.
Even if the result is very likely to be beaten...
Li Chengqian, one head and two big, hurriedly stopped him: "Both of you are alone, you should unite as one, forge ahead hand in hand, and go through the difficulties together. How can you kill each other and make your loved ones hurt and your enemies happy?"
Fang Jun didn't speak, introversion is a Chinese tradition, even if I wanted to take a step back, the other party would not do it for their own benefit...
Liu Jie does not have Fang Jun's status and meritorious service, so he can only swallow his anger: "Your Highness taught me a lesson. If Your Highness has nothing else to do, I will resign for the time being, and immediately go to Yanshoufang to discuss peace talks. Zhao Guogong asked for instructions to take over Princess Danyang."
Fang Jun frowned and reminded: "It's not to ask for instructions, but to inform. Now the world has been ruled by the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and His Highness is still the heir of the country, who is ordered to supervise the country. Why do you need to ask a minister for instructions? As a The attendants, the prince's close ministers, every word and deed represent the face of the Eastern Palace and the majesty of the prince, and they should stand upright and imposing, how can they be timid and servile? It's outrageous!"
motherfucker!
Liu Jie yelled in his heart, but the prince had just spoken to stop him. Fang Jun could not take the prince's words seriously, but he couldn't.
He could only hold back his anger, and ignored Fang Jun: "I will leave first."
After Li Chengqian wrote a letter with his own hand, put it in an envelope and sealed it, and handed it to Liu Jie, Liu Jie took it with both hands, took three steps back, then turned around and strode away, lest he walked too slowly and couldn't hold back the anger in his heart. Go up and punch Fang Jun...
Seeing Liu Jie striding away, Li Chengqian said to Fang Jun with a wry smile: "Why is Erlang doing this? Although Liu Sidao is a bit more utilitarian, he has excellent abilities, and he will never leave the East Palace in times of crisis. If you are an official of the same dynasty, you are all lonely confidants, even if you can't love each other, you should maintain a minimum of respect."
This is the difference between Fang Jun and Liu Ji in his eyes, if Liu Ji is left behind at this moment, he will definitely not say these words.
Fang Jun laughed and teased: "Throughout the ages, the art of emperors lies in checks and balances, up and down checks and balances, civil and military checks and balances, and internal and external checks and balances. If a humble minister and Liu Ji love each other and treat each other with sincerity, I'm afraid His Highness will not eat well and sleep well. "
As a minister, such words are inevitably suspected of being presumptuous, but Li Chengqian didn't take it seriously, and shook his head with a smile: "If that's the case, Gu is naturally not talking about it now, but I hope you will fight with your bare arms."
He is also a wonderful person, and the monarch and his ministers looked at each other and laughed.
No matter how capable Liu Jie is, he is not irreplaceable, while Fang Jun is the real pillar of the East Palace. Even if personal feelings are put aside, how can the two be compared?
After talking and joking, Li Chengqian asked in a deep voice: "Erlang's intention, is he in the private army of the powerful family in Guanzhong?"
Fang Jun pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Your Highness's eyes are like torches."
But that's not what I mean...
Li Chengqian was silent for a long time, and finally turned into a sigh.
Regarding the strategy of keeping all the powerful and private armies in Guanzhong, he deeply admired the firm determination behind it and gave him unparalleled courage. The scheme of forcing him to have an affair with Guan Long felt icy cold in his bones.
The most ruthless emperor's family...
*****
Liu Jie came out from the prince's residence, looked at the rare clear sky, and tried to take a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart and feel a little relieved.
This Fang Er, something that is not a son of man...
Letting out a breath, surrounded by a group of officials who came up, he went out of the inner heavy gate, passed the inspection post of the sixth rate of the East Palace, and arrived at Yanshoufang.
A long time ago, soldiers entered the interior to report, and Yuwen Shihe personally welcomed Liu Ji and his party into a temporary courtyard facing the street...
The business has not yet started, Liu Ji and Yuwen Shihe first drank tea in the side hall, and there was no one around, Liu Ji went straight to the point: "Come here today, there is still a matter entrusted by His Royal Highness, please...inform Zhao Guogong, I don't know Zhao Guogong has some important business to do right now, can we take the time to meet you?"
The words "asking for instructions" were halfway out of his mouth, thinking of Fang Jun's words mocking him for "serving his face and humble knees", he swallowed it abruptly.
In the final analysis, although Fang Jun's words are not pleasant, the truth is not bad.
He is now one of the highest-ranking figures in the Tang Empire, and he is considered one of the highest-ranking figures in the Tang Empire. Even if he hopes for the success of the peace talks, it is not good for Guan Long to be too weak and lose his prestige. It also damaged the majesty of the East Palace.
Not only is it unfavorable to the ongoing peace talks, but it also loses three points in momentum, and once people pay attention to it, it will inevitably become the target of Yu Shi's impeachment attack in the future...
Yuwen Shiji didn't care about the deep meaning in Liu Ji's words. After all, Guan Long was strong and a minister, and he still respected the prince subconsciously. It was not a problem for the prince to say "inform" to his ministers.
He thought for a while and said: "Duke Zhao is indeed very busy at this time, I don't know what's important, can you tell me?"
This is not a secret, Liu Jie said bluntly: "The Duke of Wu'an arrived at the north of the Wei River last night, but he crossed the river and arrived at Youtunwei camp that night. He met Fang Jun and mentioned that he was worried about Princess Danyang's safety, so he asked Fang Jun to ask His Royal Highness for instructions. , Can you take Princess Danyang to live in the Youtunwei military camp temporarily, the prince agrees, so I sent my ministers here."
Yuwen Shiji stroked his beard, thought about it, nodded his head and said: "This is a trivial matter. Now that the peace talks are going on, the two sides shake hands and make peace. How can we disobey the order of His Royal Highness? Besides, Princess Danyang is the royal family. Whenever, You can come and go as you like. You don’t need to inform Zhao Guogong about this matter, the old man can make the decision, and later Liu Shizhong can take people to Danyang Princess’s mansion in person.”
Compared to such trivial matters as taking Princess Danyang out of the city, the news that Xue Wanche led his army to the north of the Wei River was obviously a major event.
Now the north of Chang'an is blocked by the cavalry and scouts of Youtunwei, and there is no news about it. Regarding Li Ji's dispatch of Xue Wanche to the north of the Weishui River to deter Youtunwei, Guan Long has no idea...
Li Ji's dispatch of Xue Wanche to the north of the Weishui River was by no means as simple as deterring Fang Jun on the surface. What was the purpose behind it?
The Yang family in Luoyang, stationed outside the city, was destroyed overnight. Who did it?
More importantly, Xue Wanche has a close personal relationship with Fang Jun. Can he achieve the purpose of deterrence when he is stationed in the north of the Weishui River?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed in Yuwenshi's mind, each of which was far-reaching, but he couldn't find the answer at all.
For some reason, there is always a kind of insect bound by the spider web among the Yuwen scholars, and no matter how hard they struggle, they cannot get out of the confusion of the predicament...
