Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 669 Resolutions
"Everyone, express your opinion."

His Majesty Li Er's eyes were like knives, his face sank like water, and a chilly air pressure instantly enveloped the entire political affairs hall.

His Majesty the Emperor was obviously suppressing his anger, and everyone in the Political Affairs Hall trembled.

Changsun Wuji, who had made an impassioned statement just now, immediately changed into a expressionless face, stroked the official robe on his body, and Shi Shiran knelt back on the mat.

It was as if the person just now was not his eldest grandson Wuji at all, or that what he said was just for others and had nothing to do with himself. After finishing speaking, it would be fine...

Sitting quietly at the side, Ma Zhou, who took everything under his eyes, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

They are all old foxes...

Changsun Wuji was so fierce just now, it seems that it was just a show, and then spread it to the allies of the Changsun family - look, we fought for the interests of the big guy in front of His Majesty, but we didn't win. You can't blame us, can you?
So when the emperor got angry, he immediately silenced his flag, sat down obediently, and became his "loyal" minister...

The result of expressing his position shocked Ma Zhou, who was in close contact with the center of the empire for the first time, and lamented that he still lacked experience and was easily confused by the appearance of things.

Two votes in favor, two abstentions, the abstentions are Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng.

No one objected to it...

His Majesty Li Er obviously had some scruples in his mind. Just as the Zhengshitang's opinion was presented here, he immediately approved it with a royal pen, and handed over the memorial to Zhongshu Lingcen Wenben in the hall.Cen Wenwen immediately signed and approved it, and sent it to Menxia Province for review.

It was said that it was sent to the Menxia Province for review, but in fact it was just turned around on the case table of the Zhengshitang, and the Zhengshitang was in the Menxia Province...

Sitting here, Wei Zheng, the boss of Menxia Province and servant, picked up a brush and approved the word "approved" on the memorial, and ordered Shu Zuo to send it to the main hall of the value house to formulate an imperial edict and affix the emperor's seal.

If they do not agree, the word "sealed" will be written on the memorial instead of "approved"...

Half a cup of tea time, the whole procedure is over.

This is the efficiency and procedures of the Zhengshitang. There is a clear division of labor among the three provinces, and they also check and balance each other.

Zhongshu Province is responsible for formulating edicts and edicts, which is the central decision-making authority; Menxia Province is responsible for reviewing edicts and edicts formulated by Zhongshu Province, which is the central review authority; Shangshu Province is responsible for implementing the edicts and edicts approved by Menxia Province, which is the central execution organ.

"Wei Jin Zhengbing·Suo Gui Tiao Zhu" records: "At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, when the three provinces were merged, the master of Zhongshu gave orders, the master of the sect sealed and refuted, and the master of Shangshu followed suit."

"Benwen Tongkao Volume [-]" also records: "The Chinese book takes the purpose, the door repeats it, and the Shangshu implements it."

This is the most complete administrative structure in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty.

In Fang Jun's memorial, apart from the fact that the shocking "imperial economic system" that completely reversed the existing social structure was put on hold, pending discussion and collegiality, the intention to request the establishment of the Huating Town Shipping Department has been implemented.

The world's maritime trade has been controlled by Fang Jun in name...

The emperor stood up, shook the sleeves of his robe, and left without saying a word.

Following him was Changsun Wuji.

When he walked in front of Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji snorted with a cold face, and said darkly: "Your father and son really made a good move. They want to dominate the world's sea trade, so we can lay out a beautiful road for Mr. Ling." Does the road go straight to the center? Hehe, this old man really wants to know how to set up this shipping company, how to manage the world's maritime trade, and how to gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Fang Xuanling raised his eyelids slightly, and choked back: "Old man's son, don't worry about Duke Zhao. If Duke Zhao can't be idle, he should go back and discipline his son."

As soon as this remark came out, even Wei Zheng, who was constantly coughing, looked at Fang Xuanling in surprise.Fang Xuanling, who has always been as gentle as jade and modest as a gentleman, would say such harsh words?
Sure enough, Changsun Wuji's face turned red in an instant, and his two blood-red eyes stared at Fang Xuanling viciously, like a beast waiting to choose someone to devour!
Fang Xuanling's words, like a knife, opened the most painful wound in Changsun Wuji's heart bloody, making him burst into anger, and at the same time, he was in pain!

Although Fang Jun wasn't entirely responsible for Changsun Chong's affairs, Changsun Wuji always believed that Fang Jun was the chief culprit for Changsun Chong's desperation!Now that his son is wandering in the rivers and lakes and suffering all kinds of hardships, but Fang Jun is on the rise and becoming more and more famous, how can the eldest grandson Wuji not be jealous?
However, he finally remembered that this place was the Political Hall, the center of the Great Tang Empire, so he couldn't act too rashly.He just glared at Fang Xuanling viciously, then strode away with a gloomy face that dripped water...

Wei Zheng sighed, looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Why bother to be so mean and offend people to death?"

The old man sat there, trembling uncontrollably, his face was gray and ugly, he had become skinny and skinny, and his previous aggressive demeanor had turned into heart-piercing coughs, like a candle in the wind, his time was numbered...

Fang Xuanling spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Have you ever seen that Zhao Guogong kept threatening? A certain Fang Xuanling seldom argued with others in his life, and he never had a red face. His eldest grandson Wuji's son had an accident. He has no way to teach his son himself, it is the eldest grandson who has gone astray, what has he to do with the dog? But Zhao Guogong is so excessive, if he continues to endure, he will have nothing to fear and will intensify!"

Everyone saw what had happened, and naturally there were calculations in their hearts. It was just that Changsun Wuji was eager to love his son, and Changsun Chong suffered such a catastrophe, so he lost his principles and vented his anger on others.

Cen Wenwen shook his head and sighed, and said softly: "It's a trivial matter to go to Jiangnan, the obstacles are numerous. Those Jiangnan gentry have dominated Jiangnan for a long time, and they have always acted without any scruples. Fang Quehao entrusted his son-in-law. Merit is a small matter, and safety is a big issue."

He has always had a good impression of Fang Jun, and at this time he is also happy to show favor to Fang Xuanling.

It is true that I am a little tired of Changsun Wuji's contemptuousness...

The political affairs hall meeting came to an end, and Fang Jun's request was approved.

But a turmoil that almost swept across the world has already been brewing over the south of the empire...

*****
Back in the mansion, Fang Xuanling summoned Fang Jun and reprimanded him: "Zhuzi is arrogant, how can he present the memorial to His Majesty without discussing it with his father, it's unbelievable!"

Fang Jun Shiran sat down under his father, not paying attention to his reprimand.

Hippie smiled and said: "If I told my father in advance, would my father agree to the child's submission of this memorial?"

Fang Xuanling's face sank like water: "Of course I won't agree! Do you know what kind of situation our father and son will face once this memorial is spread?"

Father is the keystone of son, Fang Jun dared to submit this memorial, if he said that without Fang Xuanling's consent, no one would believe it.Such a premeditated plan involving changes in the power structure of the empire, if not Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the empire, who would have seen it so thoroughly?

Fang Jun?

Ha ha……

Therefore, Fang Xuanling's scapegoat can be regarded as a scapegoat for his son.

Fang Jun asked back: "What will be the consequences? Could it kill our father and son?"

Fang Xuanling was so angry that he blew out his beard and stared.

The Son of Heaven may not be benevolent, but he is very responsible and open-minded. Unless he commits a serious crime, how can he kill such a hero as Fang Xuanling?

Fang Jun smiled and said, "Since you can't look at the heads of our father and son, what is there to be afraid of? The worst thing to think about is nothing more than losing the official position. If this is the case, father can take the opportunity to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and finish writing books. It's a long-cherished wish, and the child can also have a beautiful wife and concubine, and learn from Tao Zhugong to collect all the money in the world, and then go boating on the five lakes to enjoy the world... But father, didn't he think that if His Majesty really gave this memorial Take it to heart, what will happen?"

Fang Xuanling was stunned.

Is he afraid of losing his job?

of course not.

He was not a greedy person in the first place. He went to His Majesty Li Er back then, but he just wanted to find a position, make some achievements in the turbulent era at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and leave a reputation.

Now that he is an official of the highest rank and the ruler of the world, what if he loses this official?
As the son said, wouldn't it be beautiful to travel leisurely in the mountains and forests and write books?

As for this son, is he afraid of losing his job?

It's hard to say whether I'm afraid or not, but I've lost it not once or twice.Just like what he said, throw it away, get used to it...

So, if His Majesty sees and remembers this memorial, what kind of consequences will it have?
