Chapter 4486 Hidden dangers of the empire
As soon as Liu Jie came in, he was aggressive. Li Chengqian frowned slightly, feeling displeased in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said indifferently: "Liu Zhongshu sits first, Zhang Shilang also sits, come and serve tea."
"Here."
Zhang Wenguan hurriedly sat down on the chair beside him. When Wang De brought the tea, he quickly got up to take it with both hands, and then sat down again.
Liu Jie was interrupted by the emperor's momentum, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to sit down first, without looking at Wang De's tea, looked at the emperor and said: "Since the Duke of Yue served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, there has been no He went to the yamen for a few days to take up his post, and he didn't care about the affairs of the ministry. Now the dikes have been flooded, flooding countless farmland and farmhouses on both sides of the river, and more than half of Fanchuan has been hit. Chang'an City and even Taiji Palace, such crimes of dereliction of duty cannot be pardoned!"
Although Liu Jie kept saying that the Ministry of Industry was involved, Zhang Wenguan looked down at the teacup without saying a word. First, he knew that Liu Jie’s goal was not the Ministry of Industry but Fang Jun. Second, he knew that he could not get involved in that level at all. struggle.
This is the benefit of having a great god on top of his head. All the external firepower is actively attracted to him. As the second in command, he only needs to be honest and low-key.
But having said that, isn't it a kind of sadness to be ignored by others in the officialdom?
Seeing that Li Chengqian was silent, Liu Jie continued: "My minister heard that the water flooded, flooding the farms and heaven and earth on both sides of the river, and tens of thousands of people were affected, and it may even endanger Chang'an and even Taiji Palace! And even if we start to seal the breach now, what is needed It is difficult to raise manpower and material resources, and there is a serious shortage of stone materials. This is due to the fact that the Ministry of Industry did not prepare early, which led to the disaster and was unable to deal with it calmly. It is all Fang Jun’s fault!"
This time, the water broke the embankment, and the situation was extremely serious. The Ministry of Industry could not absolve itself of the blame. After finally grabbing Fang Jun's braid, how could he let it go?
Li Chengqian had a headache, took a sip of tea, and said warmly: "Mr. Yue is currently starting the preparation and reorganization of the Jinwu Guard. He has a heavy responsibility. He will inevitably neglect the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. However, Zhang Shilang manages the affairs of the Ministry of Industry in an orderly manner. , extremely competent, hey, this is the flood control and disaster relief strategy drawn up by Zhang Shilang, Zhong Shuling might as well take a look and give some opinions."
Seeing that the emperor excused Fang Jun and talked about him from left to right, Liu Jie held his breath in his heart and said with a cold face: "I have no objection to Zhang Shilang, and I deeply believe in Zhang Shilang's ability, but this is not the same as Yue Guogong's dereliction of duty. What's the matter? Since Yue Guogong is responsible for preparing for the establishment of the Jinwu Guard, and it is difficult to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, he might as well revoke his position as Minister of the Ministry of Industry and appoint ministers who work hard. From the point of view of my humble minister, Zhang Shilang is a good candidate."
The last sentence naturally shows that the reason why he impeached Fang Jun is to serve the public with no personal grievances, and he has absolutely no intention of seeking the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Zhang Wenguan on the side was a little speechless, you started to rant as soon as Liu Jie came in, do you want to emulate Wei Zheng?
That's all, but why drag me in?
What if Fang Jun misunderstands that today's matter is that you and I are trying to seek the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry?
Zhang Wenguan couldn't sit still, so he got up quickly, bowed to the ground, and said respectfully: "I have little talent, little knowledge, and insufficient moral conduct. Because the left servant of the Ministry of Industry has already been promoted to a super rank, so I am trembling and walking on thin ice. How can I lead the affairs of a department? This humble minister has self-knowledge and never dares to covet and rebel, and I hope His Majesty will see clearly."
Liu Jie glanced at Zhang Wenguan, feeling a little disdainful in his heart. Of course, Fang Jun might be misunderstood, but so what?As a civil servant, this person has no integrity, and he can't wait to express his heart to His Majesty to clear up the suspicion. He is soft and spineless, so he is not worth fighting for.
Li Chengqian comforted him: "Ai Qing, don't worry, just sit down for now."
There is some trouble in my heart, I can't help complaining to Fang Jun, you said that even if you want to avoid suspicion, you can't ignore the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, right?Now that someone has caught you, how can I speak for you?
However, he didn't even think about the dismissal.
With Fang Jun’s achievements in the past, any position in the imperial court can be filled. Now there is only one Minister of the Ministry of Industry with real power. There is not even a shadow, if even the minister of the Ministry of Industry is withdrawn, is it possible that this greatest hero only bears the title of "Prince and Shaofu"?
He will never do such a move that chills the hero.
There was no suitable position for Fang Jun in the imperial court for a while.
But even though Liu Jie was targeting Fang Jun, what he said was correct. As an emperor, you can't blindly favor a certain courtier, right?
Just when Li Chengqian was in trouble, Wang De came in from the outside, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are memorials sent from Fanchuan by the Duke of Yue and the servants of the horse, talking about sealing the breach, controlling floods and providing disaster relief."
Li Chengqian was taken aback: "Duke Yue is in Fanchuan?"
Wang De hesitated for a moment, and said vaguely: "When Ma Shizhong arrived at the flood water to seal the breach, Yue Guogong arrived by coincidence. The two met at one place and have already begun to organize the people to control the flood and rescue the disaster."
It can't be said that Fang Er escorted Princess Changle to Zhongnan Mountain Gym for a short stay yesterday, and didn't return all night. After getting up early, he returned to Chang'an to meet Ma Zhou, right?
This matter can only be reported to His Majesty in private, but it is not easy to discuss it in front of other ministers, especially to avoid Liu Ji...
Li Chengqian immediately said happily: "Who said that the Duke of Yue is negligent in his duties? Hearing that the water broke the embankment, he immediately rushed to the scene to organize the sealing of the dam. This is the pillar of the country. Liu Zhongshu didn't see the Duke of Yue going to the Yamen, so he took it for granted that he failed Performing duties is biased."
You must have a talk with Fang Jun, how can you ignore court affairs just to avoid suspicion?What's more, the Emperor Wenwu of Manchu Dynasty trusted Fang Jun the most. He wished he could hand over all important matters to Fang Jun, so he could rest assured. What kind of suspicion did he avoid?
Liu Ji froze for a moment, and the impeachment that had been brewing all morning ended so quietly?
After Li Chengqian read the memorial, he was stunned for a while, and sighed: "When it comes to loving the people like a son, who can compare with Duke Yue?"
After finishing speaking, pass the memorial to Liu Ji.
Liu Ji didn't understand why His Majesty expressed such emotion, so he took it with a dull head, and saw that Fang Jun and Ma Zhou's various measures at the scene were stated in the memorial, not only went to Xingjiao Temple, but also made it clear with emotion and reason. Xingjiao Temple donated a large amount of stones to seal the breach. Fang Jun even jumped into the flood and led his soldiers to resist the flood with their flesh and blood. This made the breach seal smoothly...
To be honest, he was also extremely shocked.
Who is Fang Jun?The children of a famous family and aristocratic family are superior to others from birth. The young and fashionable princess becomes the emperor's son-in-law, which can be described as a golden branch and a jade poems and words are excellent, and his fonts are ranked among the world's great masters with Chu Suiliang, Ouyang Xun and others. He can be regarded as a rare seed of culture in the world, high above, noble and prosperous.
However, it was such a person who jumped into the icy cold and turbulent river without hesitation when the flood was raging, set an example, never looked back, and blocked the flood with his flesh and blood...
Such a character and virtue, even as a political opponent, he has to admire him wholeheartedly, quite admiringly.
But this does not offset the basis of his struggle with Fang Jun. Civil and military have different paths, and each has his own political views. How can they join hands and join hands because of their respective conduct?
Liu Jie straightened his back, pointed to the words "mobilize a thousand soldiers outside the Xuanwu Gate" on the memorial, and said in a sonorous tone: "Your Majesty, Fang Jun is also a traitor! There is no transfer order signed by the military aircraft department, and there is no order from your majesty's ink pen to mobilize the Xuanwu Gate without authorization." The garrison is conspiring against each other! In order to order the "Bai Qi Si" to arrest him and question him, as an example to others! Besides, he went to Xingjiao Temple to threaten and lure Master Huili to donate stones. Everyone in the Buddhist sect is in danger, which leads to turmoil in the court. It is simply lawless. If they are not severely punished, others will follow suit in the future, and Chaogang will be corrupted!"
Zhang Wenguan on the side wished he could tuck his head into his crotch, he couldn't hear or see anything, how can a mere servant be able to hear such a collision between the top leaders of civil and military?
As long as a few sparks burst out and contaminate his upper body, it is enough to make him suffer from a disaster...
Li Chengqian was also a little confused: "Huh?"
This memorandum clearly records the political achievements of Fang Jun and Ma Zhou, how could Liu Ji find so many unreasonable things in his eyes?
Dazed for a moment, Li Chengqian's expression turned cold, and he looked at Liu Jie and said, "Extraordinary things, extraordinary things, now that the flood water has burst its embankment and the flood is raging, it will not only flood hundreds of families in Fanchuan for countless days, but also cause the Qingming Canal to be destroyed." The rising waters endangered the Taiji Palace. Although Duke Yue’s move was a bit presumptuous, how could he follow the steps in times of crisis and sit back and watch the people fall into disaster for the sake of the so-called rules? As for the collision with Buddhism, it is even more false. Master Huili took the initiative to bear the meals for the soldiers and civilians It has already shown the approval in his heart, Liu Zhongshu's words are indeed alarmist."
He finally understood that the reason why Liu Ji impeached Fang Jun repeatedly was not because Fang Jun really committed any heinous mistakes, but because he was Fang Jun.
As long as it is Fang Jun's words and deeds, Liu Ji will definitely oppose it.
Oppose for the sake of opposing, not for the sake of being right or wrong.
The current situation is that Liu Ji has recruited a large number of senior officials to fight against the military headed by Fang Jun. The starting point is not right and wrong, profit and harm, but to fight for the right to speak, and then to fight for interests. This is a party struggle...
The cruelest party struggle recorded in history is nothing more than the "disaster of the party" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
During the time of the second Emperor Huanling, his relatives intervened in the government and the imperial power declined. The emperor had to rely on the eunuch group to suppress it, and the foreign relatives united with the scholar-bureaucrat group to fight against it. The old country always perishes with the weak, and the Han perishes with the strong" tragic ending.
