Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 665

Think of it as a code of conduct inherited for hundreds of generations!
These words moved Su Dingfang instantly...

The ancient famous general, what do you want?

This is one of the achievements of Le Shi Yanran and sealing the wolf to live in Xu.

Chariot charging, Hufu riding and shooting, improving ancient warfare methods are also one of them.

Fang Jun has no outstanding military exploits, and the two defeats of the Turkic wolf cavalry are just two small-scale conflicts. In the long history, they are just a drop in the ocean, a few small waves.

However, a small horseshoe suddenly doubled the combat power of the Tang cavalry!He developed gunpowder and used firearms on a large scale, which made the ancient war of strong bows, hard crossbows, crossbows, crossbows, horizontal knives and spears a non-negligible change, and it must have its place in the history.

And what about yourself?

He is forty years old, and he is about to grow old. If he can play a leading role in this new-style naval fleet and design a new-style water warfare method, wouldn't it also shine in the annals of history and last forever?
The current Su Dingfang is forbidden to have the last scruple in his heart.

This is something that no one can eliminate...

In the end, Su Dingfang also failed to give Fang Jun an affirmative answer, but only promised that Fang Jun would consider it carefully.

Fang Jun didn't care about it.

No matter how conceited he is, he will never be so conceited that relying on his identity as a time traveler to "shock his body" and "leak out his domineering aura", such as Su Dingfang, a famous general and national hero like Su Dingfang, can worship him and follow him faithfully...

Famous generals have personalities.

Moreover, Fang Jun could faintly judge from Su Dingfang's tone that his melancholy might have something to do with Duke Wei Li Jing.

In this regard, Fang Jun was helpless.

His Majesty Li Er's suspicion of Li Jing is something that anyone who has read history books knows.

As Li Jing's student and the most steadfast direct descendant, once he follows Fang Jun, he can imagine what kind of blow to Wei Gong Li Jing's reputation will be caused with his heels...

I just hope that Su Ding can get out of Li Jing's shadow. He doesn't have to wait until Li Jing dies and Li Zhi ascends the throne before he can show his talents in the twilight years of a strong man.

*****
After motivating Su Dingfang, if he could impress this famous general to join his camp, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Back at Fangfu, Fang Jun closed the door to thank the guests, and began to prepare a memorial for His Majesty Li Er.

As an agricultural country, ignoring the ocean has always been a tradition of the Central Plains Dynasty.Even the Song Dynasty, which relied on maritime trade as the pillar of national finance, failed to correctly recognize the opportunities and crises brought about by the ocean, let alone have a systematic ocean theory.After the Ming and Qing dynasties, the country was closed and the vast and fertile sea was shut out...

Although there is strong pressure from the land, it is still a pity for the entire nation to concentrate on facing the nomadic intrusion from the grasslands. Therefore, communication with other countries from the sea has been cut off, and it has been blocked by several epoch-making industrial revolutions in the world. Abandoned, thus losing the position of leading the world for thousands of years, and was bombarded to pieces by a group of barbarians who used to be ashamed and blood-drinking with their strong ships.

People in this era are not aware of the huge profits brought by the ocean, nor are they aware of the changes that ocean culture will bring to this country.Fang Jun feels that as a traveler, he has the responsibility to make people aware of the pros and cons of the ocean, especially the pros and cons of maritime trade.

Fang Jun suddenly calmed down and made a fuss, which surprised everyone in the mansion.

You must know that even though Fang Jun is famous as a "master of poetry and poetry", people close to him rarely see Fang Jun reading at night by candlelight, let alone burying his head in a book case and writing hard...

Did Princess Gaoyang bring tea, snacks, and fruits to Fang Jun in the study, and then poked her head to see what Fang Jun was writing non-stop...Wu Meiniang was even more curious, and came in to ask for instructions on the cargo dispatch at the wharf, and then asked for advice Coordination of warehousing...

Fang Jun was very annoyed by the two women, but also quite helpless.

Three days later, just the day before the imperial examination, this memorial was delivered to His Majesty Li Er's desk...

Holding the memorial in his hand, His Majesty Li Er was so absorbed in reading that he didn't even hear Ma Zhou's announcement.It wasn't until Ma Zhou worried that the emperor broke in accidentally that he came back to his senses.

Seeing that the emperor was fine, Ma Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

He yelled three times at the door, but there was no sound in the hall. If the servant hadn't clearly informed the emperor that he was in the hall, he almost thought that there was no one...

"What is Your Majesty looking at so engrossed?" Ma Zhou asked curiously, his eyes kept gliding over the memorial in the emperor's hand.

The relationship between His Majesty Li Er and his courtiers is very easy-going, and he will not deliberately put on the so-called imperial majesty.In his opinion, the true majesty is manifested through wise and powerful decisions, rather than trying to put oneself on the top by playing tricks...

So he talked casually with his ministers, especially his close ones, like colleagues.

His Majesty Li Er shook the memorial in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "A few days ago, that guy Fang Jun had an audience and made a lot of remonstrances that I didn't quite understand. I asked him to write a memorial to explain this, good guy, There are tens of thousands of words..."

Hearing that His Majesty Li Er was teasing Fang Jun, Ma Zhou also laughed.

Unlike other people who only take a high look at Fang Jun when he shows extraordinary literary talent, Ma Zhou always looks at Fang Jun differently.It's hard to imagine that someone like Ma Zhou, who is strict and upright, who is almost strict with himself, would take a liking to a dude like Fang Jun...

Even Ma Zhou himself found it inconceivable.

But since he got a poem by Fang Jun in the value room that time, Ma Zhou understood where his favor came from.

Yazhai lies down and listens to Xiao Xiaozhu,
It is suspected to be the voice of suffering among the people.

Some small officials of Caozhou County,
A branch and a leaf are always about love.

This is a bosom friend...

At this point, Ma Zhou knew why he always subconsciously had a good impression of Fang Jun, even if this guy was uneducated and caused trouble...Only this person truly understands his ambition!
Looking at the thick memorial in the hands of His Majesty Li Er, Ma Zhou said with a smile: "I wonder if I can show it to my minister? To be honest, my minister is not only itchy for Fang Consort's pleasing font, but also for Fang Consort's strategy of seeking the country. Can't wait."

His Majesty Li Er said happily: "Why not? But it will take some work."

After finishing speaking, he handed the memorial in his hand to Ma Zhou, waved his hand to let him sit down and read it slowly, and called the maid to offer tea.

Ma Zhou was moved in his heart, thanked him quickly, and he was not polite, so he knelt on the mat in front of His Majesty Li Er, and carefully read Fang Jun's memorial.

And His Majesty Li Er was not idle, and began to review other memorials.

Time flies by...

After Ma Zhou finished reading the thick memorial, he raised his head, looked at His Majesty the Emperor with burning eyes, and sighed: "Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and I am convinced."

"Ha ha……"

Putting down the ink pen for reviewing the memorial, His Majesty Li Er stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Could it be that Aiqing had reservations about Fang Jun's going to the south of the Yangtze River before?"

Ma Zhou said frankly: "It is true. Fang Erlang is both civil and military, which cannot be slandered, but it is also an indisputable fact that he is too young. The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is complicated, and the strengths of the major gentry clans are intertwined. Affecting His Majesty's grand plans for the Eastern Expedition. Therefore, I do not agree with Fang Erlang as the chief commander of the Canghai Road Marching. But thinking that His Majesty has spoken beforehand, if he repents at this moment, it will inevitably be a breach of dignity, so he never spoke against it."

His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed, and teased: "The stern and selfless Ma Zhou will also consider face for me, but ignore the country's plans?"

Ma Zhou was upright and rigorous, known throughout the court.Usually, I can't even see a smile. If someone commits a crime and wants to beg for mercy in front of him, there is no other possibility except hitting a wall.Therefore, Ma Zhou's reputation for being unreasonable became more and more resounding.

Hearing this, Ma Zhou also laughed: "Your Majesty is absurdly praised. Ma Zhou is ashamed of the stern and selfless praise. Speaking of which, Ma Zhou is just an ordinary person. His Majesty is the king of a country above the golden palace, but when he returns to the palace , but also a father... The comment of being unkind sounds a bit selfless and commendable, but who knows the sadness? Since His Majesty is willing to appoint Fang Jun, in order to prevent His Majesty from being unkind, the humble minister did not Admonishment. Of course, although Fang Erlang is young, he has a lot of means, and if he goes to the south of the Yangtze River, he may get unexpected results, who knows?"

His Majesty Li Er laughed heartily.

King and subject, father and son, all need to communicate.

Ma Zhou was able to start from His Majesty Li Er's point of view and not to persuade an unfounded possibility, which made His Majesty Li Er very happy.As Ma Zhou said, who dares to say that Fang Jun will not be able to do it?

After laughing, His Majesty Li Er asked, "Have you ever understood it?"

Ma Zhou was caressed, and sighed: "Every word is pearls, and every sentence is mysterious. No wonder Your Majesty often praises Fang Erlang as a prime minister, and many humble ministers are not as good as him!"

His Majesty Li Er stood up, shook his head with a smile, and said, "You two have different personalities, different ways of acting, and different strengths. Don't underestimate yourself. If Fang Er wants to catch up with you, he has to learn a lot! Let's go, take The memorial, let's go to the Political Affairs Hall to hear the opinions of the prime ministers!"
