Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 713
Wu Duohai is not stupid!

Although I don't know why this Fang Jun is regarded as an enemy by the big families, and he is eager to get rid of him quickly, but Wu Duohai knows that now the big families can tolerate the Shanyue people attacking the county, because they want to get rid of Fang Jun. Press it on the Shanyue people's head, and when Fang Jun dies, the Shanyue people will inevitably face a thunderous blow from the big families!

How could the Jiangnan gentry, who have always regarded Jiangnan as a taboo, allow the Shanyue people to do anything wrong in Jiangnan?

At this moment, a man wearing a bamboo hat to hide his face hurriedly walked up to Wu Duohai and whispered something in a low voice.

Changsun narrowed his eyes.

He has always felt that there seems to be a mysterious force behind Wu Duohai to direct Wu Duohai's actions. Rather than saying that the rebellion of the Shanyue people is because he contacted the Jiangnan gentry to promise huge benefits to the Shanyue people, it is better It is said that this move echoes the interests of the mysterious forces behind Wu Duohai...

Sure enough, the mysterious man said a few words, and then drifted away.

Wu Duohai immediately changed his attitude of refusing to cooperate, and said categorically: "Then according to the son of the eldest grandson, as soon as the soldiers of the major families arrive, they will immediately charge and capture and kill Fang Jun in one fell swoop. Those soldiers on the mountain, Not one left!"

Changsun Chong responded with his mouth, but his eyes were looking at the figure wearing a bamboo hat who disappeared among the crowd in Shanyue, his thoughts turned.

Who is this?

*****
The scorching heat in Guanzhong is very unbearable. At this time in previous years, His Majesty Li Er would visit the palace. He would either go to Da'an Palace in Kunming Lake to practice sailors, or go to Jiucheng Palace in the north of Dushui to enjoy the cool air, or go to Tangquan Palace in Lishan to escape the summer heat, or It’s the Xiangcheng Palace in Xishan—it doesn’t matter that there were many snakes in Xiangcheng Palace last year, His Majesty Li Er called Yan Lide, who supervised the construction of the palace, to give him a warning, and he would never go again...

But this year, His Majesty Li Er stayed in the Taiji Palace obediently and didn't go anywhere.

It's not that he doesn't want to go, but that the plan for the Eastern Expedition has already begun, and all aspects must be coordinated and dispatched. Soldiers in the Northwest must be transferred to Zhuojun, money and food in the East China Sea must be hoarded, weapons and armor must be repaired, and horses and vehicles must be maintained and dispatched. He handles it himself.Since Fang Xuanling entered the summer, he has been bedridden for many days due to the heat, and His Majesty Li Er can't believe anyone else...

Most importantly, he has to wait for news from Jiangnan at any time.

Regarding Fang Jun going south, His Majesty Li Er had great expectations.

The south of the Yangtze River is corrupt, and the aristocratic and wealthy families are intertwined. It is difficult to create a situation.However, after learning the lessons of the former Sui Dynasty, in addition to the war-weariness of the soldiers and the dissatisfaction with the environment, frequent delays in logistics and supplies are also reasons that cannot be ignored.Therefore, the on-site collection of food and grass from the south of the Yangtze River and then quickly transported to the front line of Goguryeo by sea became the key to victory or defeat.

Most of the icebergs in the copper basins at the four corners of the main hall of the Lizheng Palace had already melted, but it didn't feel cool at all. The windows were all open, so it was hot and windless.

His Majesty Li Er tugged his collar indecently, and then he felt his breathing easier. Looking at Cen Wenwen in front of him, he asked, "This summer is very hot, and there is little rain in Guanzhong. How is the current drought?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is little rain in Guanzhong, but the water conservancy extends in all directions. The water from the rivers and canals is used to irrigate the fields, and the seedlings are growing well. Although the production may be reduced, it will not have too much impact. Your Majesty can rest assured."

Cen Wenwen sat upright, the purple official robes on his body were neat and meticulous, and his rigid face was expressionless, as if he could not feel the intolerance of the scorching heat at all.

His Majesty Li Er heard the words, and sighed softly: "It's all thanks to Fang Jun... The Ministry of Industry used to have a vegetarian meal in the corpse, just passing by, and various reasons prevaricate, making you both angry and helpless. Only Fang Jun, look He seems to be laughing and cursing and disobedient to discipline, but he understands his responsibilities, if it is not for these irrigation and water conservancy, I am afraid that the fields in Guanzhong will be barren this year, and the treasury will be exhausted by the end of the year."

Cen Wenwen thought so deeply.

The merits of an official depend only on whether or not he completes his job, and has nothing to do with others.Even if he is arrogant and domineering, even if he is unusual and abrupt, as long as he does his job well, he is a qualified official.

At this point, Fang Jun did quite well.

"The son-in-law of the house is young and energetic, and it is inevitable to act capriciously at times. This is human nature. However, he has the world in mind, and what he does will be rewarded by the common people. In time, he will definitely be the pillar of the empire. Your majesty is also blessed."

The relationship between Cen Wenwen and Fang Jun has always been good, so naturally he is not hesitant to say a few good words at this time, not to mention the emperor also likes to listen...

Sure enough, His Majesty Li Er was pleased, and was about to say a few words of praise, when suddenly footsteps sounded outside the hall, His Majesty Li Er immediately shut up and looked towards the entrance of the hall.

Dare to be so anxious and rude in the palace, there must be something urgent.

After a while, a servant hurried in, bowed down in front of the emperor, panting and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wu has a battle report."

His Majesty Li Er was slightly taken aback: "Battle report?"

Wu Wang Li Kechi was named the governor of Anzhou, but he disliked the dilapidated state of Anzhou and has been stationed in Jiangdu. His Majesty Li Er left him alone. After all, he is his own son, and he should live a more comfortable life.

But Jiangdu tightly holds the river, backed by Yangzhou, which is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. Where did the battle report come from?
He quickly reached out to take it, opened the sealed envelope with wax seal and read it carefully.

A face suddenly turned livid...

In the letter, Li Ke, the king of Wu, sternly reprimanded the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River for colluding with all parties and controlling the government affairs in the south of the Yangtze River. Even the navy is under his control. , but there is nothing to do, Jiangnan is no longer the Jiangnan of the Tang Dynasty, but the Jiangnan of the Jiangnan wealthy families!
Fang Jun's "blood book" is attached to the back...

If it is said that Li Ke's battle report made His Majesty Li Er furious, Fang Jun's "blood book" made His Majesty Li Er's eyes turn red instantly, and a heart-wrenching regret filled his chest!

His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth tightly, the fleshy ribs of his cheeks rose and fell, and his heart ached!

Cen Wenwen was taken aback by the emperor's expression, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what happened in Jiangdu?"

Taking a deep breath, His Majesty Li Er tried his best to suppress the anger and distress in his heart, and handed the battle report to Cen Wenwen with trembling hands: "Ai Qing, read it for yourself, a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, I am incompatible with him!"

Cen Wenwen was shocked, and took the battle report with both hands, shocked in his heart.

What did the Jiangnan nobles do to make the dignified emperor say such cruel words?

Expand the battle report, and Cen Wenwen read it carefully.

Shan Yue rebelled?Cen Wenwen was taken aback. His Majesty was trying his best to manage Jiangnan, and the Shanyue people came here. The timing is too coincidental, and I am afraid there are deep reasons for it.

Seeing Fang Jun's "blood book" again, even if he is as calm and deep as Cen's text, he can't calm down...

"The minister was ordered to go south, but by chance, Shanyue rebelled and was caught in a dangerous situation. Facing an enemy ten times stronger, the soldiers fought hard and were trapped in a tight siege. But as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, he should stick to his integrity and serve His Majesty's grace. The bones of the soldiers will forever live in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, their souls will never die, and they will guard the southern border of the empire..."

Clanking and iron bones, the hero's end, there is nothing better than this!

It was the last poem that stirred Cen Wenwen's heart the most: "...Thousands of hammers and ten thousand gouges out the deep mountains, and the fire burns like nothing. Don't be afraid of being smashed into pieces, and stay innocent in the world!"

Don't you all call me Fang Jun a stick?Don't they all say that I'm a rascal?Don't you all despise me for being uneducated and arrogant?

Then I'll show you what kind of person I am, Fang Jun!

Even if the fire burns, even if the body is smashed to pieces, my Fang Jun will stand upright and leave my innocent reputation in the world, let you take a good look at it!

Cen Wenwen deeply felt the deep anger, unwillingness, and resentment at the misunderstanding of the world in the lines of this poem. Fang Jun wanted to use his own blood and this poem to express his unyielding and loyalty to the world and to justify his name. !
His mouth was trembling for a long time before Cen Wenwen finally said a word of admiration: "Fang Jun... a peerless national scholar!"

His Majesty Li Er had a deep expression and was full of anger. He was afraid of pressing the case with his big hands, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I am so sorry! You shouldn't let him be self-willed, and you shouldn't send him to the south of the Yangtze River! What a Shanyue man, what a man!" The wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River! Since you dare to attack my beloved son-in-law so unscrupulously, do you really think that my butcher's knife is already at a disadvantage?"

The emperor was extremely angry, this was a naked challenge to the emperor's authority!

But while wondering whether Fang Jun could survive, he was also worrying about how to tell his daughter Gao Yang about this...
