Chapter 1467 Difficult to choose
It was raining heavily, and the Dragon Hall was brightly lit.
His Majesty Li Er wore ordinary clothes and stood in front of the open window with his hands behind his back, allowing the rain to occasionally be blown against him by the wind and wet his robes. Tired and sad, and unconcealable anger!
Li Junxian behind him stood with his hands folded, gulped his saliva, not daring to vent his breath.
He didn't know whether his presumptuous proposition would get the emperor's understanding and approval, but as a subject, he had to do so, otherwise, if Wang Jingqi was allowed to suffer torture and make everything public, his Majesty would be in a dilemma...
After a long time, His Majesty Li Er let out a long breath, turned around, walked slowly behind the desk, sat on a chair, and stared at the memorials spread out on the desk.
"Wang Jingqi committed suicide in fear of crime...hehe."
His Majesty Li Er had a sneering smile on his lips, but there was endless loneliness and sorrow in his eyes.
As an emperor, how can he not see the hidden inside story?
Wang Jingqi had to "self-judgment", otherwise the entire Taiyuan Wang family would be accused of "collaborating with the enemy and treason". It is what the Wang family of Taiyuan can't bear.
If the Zanying family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, bears such a crime, it will be like dust falling from a high far end and suffer the most painful blow.Once the Tang Dynasty was bound to face blows from the ruling and opposition parties, it would be disgusted and abandoned by the people of the country, and it would never be possible to regain its vitality.
However, if it was only because of protecting the fundamental future of the Wang family, how could Li Junxian allow him to "jump himself"?
Since Li Junxian could make Wang Jingqi commit suicide in front of him, there must be a reason why he had to do so.Li Junxian doesn't care whether the Taiyuan Wang family will bear the name of treason, there is only one reason why he is so bold...
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyes, stared at Li Junxian, and said calmly: "This matter is well done, let's call it a day."
He agrees with Li Junxian's judgment, this matter cannot be pursued any further, otherwise if the person behind the Wang family is dug out...he doesn't know how to deal with it.
"Here."
"Although Wang Jingqi didn't know in advance that he was bewitched and deceived by others, but the fact of treason has already been accomplished. His children will be sent to Qiongzhou, and they will not be allowed to return to Beijing for life. As for the Yuan family in Youzhou..." His Majesty Li Er's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said with hatred : "Lawless, liaison with foreign countries, a group of rebellious officials and thieves, everyone can punish them! Immediately issue an order to the governor of Youzhou, ordering him to copy and kill the Yuan family in Youzhou, and destroy the three clans!"
"Here!"
"Go!"
Watching Li Junxian's back disappearing at the entrance of the main hall, His Majesty Li Er still sat where he was, motionless like a stone carving for a long time.
Compared with anger, there is more disappointment and pain in my heart...
How could he fail to see the intention of selling grain to the Goguryeo people?
The emperor's personal expedition will inevitably stay with the prince to supervise the country, and once the Dongzheng army is held back by Goguryeo, which has sufficient food and grass, a protracted war is inevitable. At that time, the empty Chang'an will be under the control of the Guanlong Group, and any changes will happen. possible……
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help the pain in his heart.
He didn't want to speculate maliciously about the son he raised with his own hands, but other than that, he really couldn't think of a reason to sell grain to Goguryeo.
Or maybe... this is just the people around the son making their own decisions?
It was raining heavily outside the window, and His Majesty Li Er was full of pain. Even he, who had always been decisive in killing and attacking, had no choice but to fall into entanglement and hesitation at this moment, not knowing how to deal with it...
Looking in the direction of Jiuyi Mountain, there was not even a trace of outline in the dark night, but His Majesty Li Er seemed to see the beautiful and intelligent wife's voice and smile in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "Guanyin maidservant, how many children have you given birth to?" Good son... what do you want me to do?"
……

"The water receded! The water receded!"
I don't know who shouted at the top of his voice, and immediately after that, there were thunderous cheers on the embankment!
Fang Junzheng and Cheng Yaojin were discussing the details of how the soldiers took turns to rescue them in batches. Hearing this, he lifted his spirits, and when he looked up, he saw Dou Zhili and Lin Ruofu trotting over.
"The water receded?" Fang Jun asked.
"Retreat! Retreat!" Lin Ruofu pointed to his feet: "Look at Fang Shilang, the water has receded!"
Although leading the soldiers and civilians to block the gaps one after another, the soaring river has already overflowed the embankment, and people are running in the mud in the shallow water.Now the feet are still muddy, but the shallow river that overflowed the embankment has disappeared.
Fang Jun kept talking to Cheng Yaojin, but he didn't pay attention to this point...
Now that the water level has dropped, it means that the flood peak has passed. Although I don't know if there will be another flood peak in the future, at least the embankment is safe for now.
Fang Jun is still not optimistic: "Don't be careless, take advantage of the current water level to drop, and quickly take someone to inspect the levee, and find and remedy the dangerous places as soon as possible. The danger is not far away, and the morale of the army must not be distracted. , that will ruin the big thing!"
Dou Zhili and Lin Ruofu felt tense, knowing that their tense heartstrings were suddenly relaxed due to the drop in water level, but they didn't realize that the danger was far from receding, so they quickly responded seriously, turning around and shouting for people to patrol the embankment.
Cheng Yaojin admired Fang Jun's rigorous style, nodded in praise and said: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, Erlang does have the style of a general."
Who would have thought that Fang Jun, with a worried expression on his face in front of Dou Zhili and the others, had repeatedly told him not to be careless, but now that everyone had gone far away, he suddenly beamed with joy, almost dancing, and said with joy: "God, sorry to see you, Jingyang has been saved, you and I I've got the credit for you! Hahaha, not only can you save the people of Jingyang from the upside down, but you can also win meritorious deeds from danger, what could be more joyful than this?"
Cheng Yaojin's face was full of black lines, and he said helplessly: "You...you really are like the former!"
Fang Jun shook his head again and again, denying, "You're not right. What do you mean by the former and the latter? I'm sounding the alarm for them to be determined. It's like marching and fighting, failing to go straight to the tiger's den to capture and kill them." Before the enemy chieftain, who dares to say that he is sure to win? The biggest crisis is lurking under negligence, and often because of temporary laxity, the good situation falls short."
Cheng Yaojin thought about it, and it really makes sense...
He looked at Fang Jun with admiration, and said: "The people under your command must be vigilant at all times, not to overturn the ship and lose the good situation, but we, as commanders, must have insight into the situation of the battle, and we must fully grasp the situation... ...Very well, I used to think that you led the troops to victory just because of your luck, but now it seems that you are not useless."
It was not easy to get this old goblin to say a word of approval, Fang Jun looked proud: "That's right, we are going to be the man who is going to be the chief priest of the Naval Academy, how can we not know the art of war?"
Speaking of the Naval Academy, Cheng Yaojin hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Recently, don't make troubles and rains, and just concentrate on building your academy, so as not to be involved in some inexplicable things."
Fang Jun's heart skipped a beat.
"You mean... about the Yicang?"
Cheng Yaojin talked about everything in front of him, and he didn't shy away from anything. He nodded and said: "You have a bad relationship with the aristocratic family, so it's normal that no news has reached your ears. As far as I know, there are people in Guanzhong There have been mistakes in many righteous warehouses, and the number of powerful families involved in this incident is unknown..."
Fang Jun was stunned: "Could it be that there is no food in the righteous storehouse that these silverfish have been greedy for?"
No wonder that Wei Yifang has been reluctant to open a warehouse to release food for a long time. It turns out that there is no food to release...
Cheng Yaojin shook his head: "That's not the case. Although the children of the aristocratic family are lawless, they are all arrogant and will not be greedy for the grain of Mo Yicang. However, although it is not possible to be greedy for ink, they will resell it to make money and then return the original amount. Make it up... it's very possible."
Fang Jun was speechless.
What's the difference?
It's nothing more than relying on the power of the aristocratic family to infringe on the interests of the country...
Cheng Yaojin was still not finished, patted Fang Jun on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "And this matter is not as simple as reselling grain, not only the Wei family, the initiator of this matter is the Wang family, and Guanzhong, Hedong There are countless charity warehouses in other places, and it is impossible to balance them just by relying on these two, so there must be someone with a bigger background behind them..."
Bigger than the Wei family and the Wang family?
Fang Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at Cheng Yaojin, who nodded slowly: "It's good to know, even if His Majesty finds out about this matter, it will only be suppressed."
Fang Jun understands.
There is no other person who can instruct the Wang family except His Highness.
Although His Majesty loves him very much, but with so many righteous warehouses and so many aristocratic families involved, can he really be suppressed?The most important thing is that since there are such aristocratic families involved, the amount of food involved must be quite a lot. Where does so much food go...
I'm afraid His Majesty Li Er is already furious and troubled at this moment?
On the surface, it seems that the reselling is grain, but in fact, who can say for sure whether it has something to do with the struggle for storage?
Fang Jun didn't know that these grains had already been equated with collaborating with the enemy and treason, but he was a little gloating in his heart-the son is too capable, and he will always cause trouble for my father...
