Chapter 2903 tit for tat
It's just that as soon as he said this, he heard several sneers in the imperial study room. For a while, all the ministers rolled their eyes, showing their contempt.
Please, when your Fang Er was arrogant and domineering, how did you know that you were inexperienced and talented?
You are very good!
In the entire city of Chang'an, and even the entire Tang Empire, who else have you looked up to and respected other than His Majesty?
Everyone tells lies, both officialdom and folks have to pay attention to personal feelings and sophistication, and the truth often offends people.But talking nonsense with your eyes open like you would be shameless...
Being ridiculed by everyone like this, Fang Jun himself felt a little embarrassed.
But fortunately, he was thick-skinned, squinted his eyes and laughed dryly, and said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, there must be a suitable candidate, so why should we go into details? No matter who it is, Your Majesty can just make decisions and make decisions. No nonsense, no objection.”
The ministers were all convinced.
When it comes to sycophancy and flattery, even old fritters who have been in officialdom for half their life are willing to bow down in front of Fang Jun.
Being able to speak flattering words so freshly and naturally, does have the potential to be a sycophantic minister, I can't help myself...
His Majesty Li Er was still annoyed with Fang Jun in his heart, so naturally he would not eat this flattery, he glared at Fang Jun, and reprimanded: "Is this the kind of dictatorial king? It's like a stream, but any insightful opinion will be adopted naturally. Don't pay attention to this fellow, dear friends, if you have any ideas, it's okay to say, as long as it is reasonable, I will definitely consider it."
Everyone was still laughing at Fang Jun's shameless flattery, and they were a little gloating when they heard His Majesty Li Er reprimanding him, but after hearing what he said, he felt something was wrong.
With His Majesty, do you really have a favorite candidate?
That's right, Fang Jun's "high integrity" just said that His Majesty is the only one to look after him. Although we can't say such flattering words, we can't "speak honestly" and ignore His Majesty when others are flattering us. So you can recommend your own people?
That's not upright and upright, but lack of heart...
The ministers looked at each other, and finally Xiao Yu, Duke of the Song Dynasty, said: "Your Majesty, if you have someone who is interested, you can inform the ministers and others. If there is nothing wrong, you can immediately issue a promotion and appointment. It is best to do it this morning." Get ready, open the victory for the big army flag, and get a good omen."
The so-called "discuss together" is just a word of turnaround, so that people like myself will not be so "uninformed" and "to please the best", as long as His Majesty Li Er proposes a candidate, probably no one will be full He refuted with a wink.
His Majesty Li Er couldn't help feeling depressed.
He really wanted to carefully discuss the candidates for the vanguard. After all, the vanguard has a great responsibility, and the victory or defeat has greatly affected the morale of the army, so the appointment should not be ignored.
But being disturbed by Fang Jun, why did he plan to "do what he wants" and "go his own way" instead?
We are not like that!
"Follow advice like flow" is the oath I made on the first day of sitting on the throne, and I will never forget it no matter when and where, otherwise how could I endure Wei Zheng's fault-finding for more than ten years? ?
This bastard stick will sooner or later ruin Lao Tzu's fame...
However, Fang Jun is also an important minister in the court and his son-in-law, no matter how he punishes him, it is considered a family matter, and he cannot hurt his face in front of so many people, so let's not care about it for the time being.
"My dear friends have helped me govern the country for many years, and they are my humerus, and they are my confidantes. If you have any thoughts, please speak up."
Majesty Li Er's face is solemn and friendly, and he must show his attribute of "good at accepting advice" as much as possible.
If you don't know how to accept advice, how can you be regarded as a wise king of the previous generation?
When the ministers heard it, it turned out that His Majesty really has a broad mind and is very receptive to advice...
Looking at each other, Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Zhou Daowu, the governor of Yingzhou, is suitable to be the vanguard of the army. After Zhou Daowu was loyal and good, the general's son-in-law was also His Majesty's son-in-law. , familiar with the local terrain, should be the best candidate."
He felt that his recommendation was reasonable.
Zhou Daowu's own strength is unquestionable, and he was born as a loyal general. He was brought up by His Majesty Li Er in the palace since he was a child, and he was only released from the palace when he became an adult. , much favored.
As for the identity of his Guanlong disciple... so what?
As long as no one else is more suitable than Zhou Daowu, if His Majesty Li Er opposes it, a thorn in Zhou Daowu's heart will be pierced, all loyalty will be shaken, and a crack will be created within the royal family...
Li Ji and others were silent, noncommittal.
This has already involved the distribution of interests within the royal family, and outsiders cannot interfere. Changsun Wuji dared to propose, but everyone did not have the courage to comment.
Then, while everyone was still thinking about it, His Majesty Li Er frowned and said: "Zhou Daowu lacks experience and lack of knowledge, how can he be entrusted with a heavy responsibility just because he is the queen of Zhongliang and the son-in-law of the court? This is not appropriate."
Changsun Wuji: "..."
Ministers: "..."
What about "follow advice like flow"?
What about "good at accepting advice"?
What you just said, you swallowed it as soon as you turned your face away. Don't you feel embarrassed?
What's more, the so-called "lack of experience, lack of talent and learning", isn't this what Fang Jun said just now?It would be unfair to Zhou Daowu to use these words to evade Changsun Wuji's proposal.They are also the consorts of the court, although you like Fang Jun more, but it is really unfair to treat them differently...
Of course, you can only think about this in your heart, and you must never say it out of your mouth.
Changsun Wuji did not back down because of His Majesty Li Er's categorical refusal, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's words, I do not agree with you. Although Zhou Daowu is young, there is no one of the court officials who left when he was young. What about those who came over? If you don’t entrust them with important tasks and trust them, then you will never be able to grow up to be independent. Besides, the Duke of Yue was also young and frivolous and reckless at the beginning, and His Majesty still entrusts him with important tasks and trusts him. The Duke of Yue has made many outstanding achievements and has become the pillar of the country. It can be seen that young people should be boldly appointed in order to cultivate them into talents. Please think twice, Your Majesty."
Looking at the court, there are no more than two people who dare to speak to His Majesty Li Er like this.
One is Wei Zheng, and the other is Changsun Wuji.
The former relies on being dedicated to the public, being upright and upright, while the latter relies on the countless feats he has made for His Majesty Li Er over the years.
Even though he has been suppressed all these years, Changsun Wuji will never be obedient and trembling in front of His Majesty Li Er, because he knows very well that His Majesty Li Er is a man, if you are not worth enough and have no reason in front of him, even if you smash your head, Don't even think about getting any sympathy and change. On the contrary, as long as you can come up with a legitimate reason, you can be justified.
Recommending Zhou Daowu is naturally a legitimate reason.
As he said, those are a bit ordinary, but Zhou Daowu is actually a very suitable pioneer candidate.
However, His Majesty Li Er naturally refused to agree to it. The status of a Guan Long child alone is doomed to be impossible to be reused in His Majesty Li Er's heart, at least before Guan Long's alliance completely collapsed...
Of course, Changsun Wuji's aggressive attitude also made His Majesty Li Er annoyed, and felt a little troublesome.
In the final analysis, Zhou Daowu is his son-in-law, and even after his meritorious service, his strong refusal will cause chaos within the clan. Some people will say that he has prejudices and cannot treat everyone equally.
So continuing to refute Changsun Wuji would not only lose the majesty of the king, but also cause conflicts in the clan, so he raised his hand to pick up the teacup, glanced at Fang Jun, then lowered his head to drink tea, turning a deaf ear to what Changsun Wuji said.
Fang Jun immediately understood...
Serving the emperor as a knife is Fang Jun's favorite job.
Dang even straightened his back, and said slowly: "The words of Zhao Guogong, the lower officials do not agree. People are different, how can we generalize? Some people cultivate, and they will harvest a talent in the future; while others You have given your trust and hard work, but it may lead to backlash. Your majesty has entrusted a heavy responsibility to your majesty, and your majesty has nothing to repay you. Naturally, you will fight your heart and live to death, and establish a great honor for your majesty; He even put it by his side to teach by example, but the result was shameless betrayal... Therefore, people are different, and Zhao Guogong's words are ridiculous and unreasonable."
