Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 327
His Majesty Li Er summoned him, and dared not see you...

Fang Jun had no choice but to ask Liu Rengui to go outside the city and bring the soldiers of Shenji Camp back to Qujiang Barracks. If Chai Zhewei made any provocative actions during this period, he must not fight back.

Liu Rengui took the order and left.

Fang Jun was extremely reassured about Liu Rengui's handling of affairs. This man looked rough in appearance, but in fact he had a delicate mind and handled affairs extremely safely.

Turn around and follow the old eunuch Wang De back.

Fang Jun is extremely curious about creatures like "eunuchs".

Zhao Gao, Zhang Rang, Gao Lishi, Wei Zhongxian, Li Lianying...these eunuchs have all done some great things in their professional fields.

It is said that eunuchs "do not look like a human body, don't look like a human face, don't listen like a human voice, and don't look like a human being", but Fang Jun didn't find anything wrong with Wang De, except that his speech was indeed feminine. some...

Moreover, there are many servants in Taiji Palace, but there are very few people who seek power.

But for the founding emperor, basically there is no such thing as eunuch monopoly.

The founding emperor was self-made, powerful and diligent, so eunuchs had no room to take advantage of.

Another very important reason is the issue of trust.Why was there no eunuch monopoly in the Western Han Dynasty?Because the relatives in the Western Han Dynasty were very strong, the royal family's high trust in the relatives caused a deep dependence on the thought, and this dependence is contagious, as the saying goes, "the old cat sleeps in the room, and it is passed on from generation to generation". If there is one generation, then there will be generations.In the same way, why did the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty favor eunuchs?Because the emperor was young when he came to the throne, he was not familiar with the ministers and the clan, and it was difficult for his relatives to trust him. Relying on eunuchs, once you rely on, you will rely on again and again, after this generation relies on the next generation...

But the founding emperor is not the case. The founding emperor's country was defeated by his courtiers, so their biggest trust group is definitely not the eunuchs. Is there?There may be individual cases, but it is by no means universal.

His Majesty Li Er was not the founding emperor, but he was directly involved in the birth of this country. This emperor who came from the Xuanwumen Incident knew better what it takes to "sit in the country".

What did Emperor Huan of Han need most?
that power.

Who can help him regain power?

eunuch.Therefore, he needs eunuchs the most.

What does Han Lingdi need most?
Have fun.

Who can play with him?

eunuch.Therefore, he needs eunuchs.

What does His Majesty Li Er need most?
Merit!

The achievements of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are overshadowed!
Who can give him such merit?

Civil servants and generals!Therefore, he needs civil servants and generals, but not eunuchs!
His Majesty Li Er knows exactly what he needs?
Talent, talent is the real treasure of the empire.His Majesty Li Er also has a very good character trait - self-confidence, which leads to no matter what he does, he has to personally do it, supervise it personally, and employ people without suspicion.

Once Prime Minister Xiao Yu caught some problems with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's style of work, so he complained to His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er's answer to Xiao Yu very well reflected his character. He said: "Everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses. You should choose their strengths and use them while avoiding their weaknesses, Xiao Yu, you stare at the weaknesses of others all day long, so who do you want me to use?"

If it is pertinent, for a pertinent person, it is impossible for such a sober emperor to allow eunuchs to participate in politics, and there is no chance to participate in politics, let alone dictatorship.

Thinking about messy things in his mind, he followed Wang De into the Dragon Palace again.

There was a sudden silence in the hall where things were being discussed.

His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun and said, "Stand aside, I will order later."

After saying that, he ignored Fang Jun who was stunned, and said to Ma Zhou: "Continue!"

"No!" Ma Zhou glanced at Fang Jun and continued what he had just said.

Fang Jun obediently stood aside, scolding his mother in his heart.The whole room is full of people sitting, so let us stand, is this considered standing punishment?

Of course, it's just a joke.It is impossible for Fang Jun, who was an official in his previous life, to have no political wisdom at all.

Look at these people in front of you, they are all the mainstay of this empire, they are equivalent to the existence of the Standing Committee!In such a meeting, the matters discussed must be extremely important national affairs. It is not an ordinary opportunity for him, a young boy who has not yet been weak, to be able to accompany the last seat and listen nearby!

Fang Jun understands, others understand better than him!

When Changsun Wuji listened to Ma Zhou's words, his mind was a little distracted, and he couldn't help glancing at Fang Jun's black face, feeling extremely jealous.Why doesn't my boss have to be a hundred times stronger than this bastard?But so far, he is not qualified to listen to such a level of meeting.

This is not just a question of how much you understand, but a word - Jane is in the heart of the emperor!
Only when the emperor regards you as a future pillar that can be cultivated, will he allow you to attend such an important meeting. Even your majesty's nephew, Chai Zhewei, was sent away from afar, but he called Fang Jun back on purpose?

How can this son make His Majesty pay so much attention to him?

Changsun Wuji was a little unpredictable.For a long time, his impression of Fang Jun can't be said to be good or bad, but he just thinks that this kid is very clever, he handles things fairly safely, and his greatest ability is to make money...

There is no doubt that what His Majesty Li Er needs most now is a large amount of money and food, but just because Fang Jun can make money, let him get such an opportunity?
Changsun Wuji was a little depressed, his own Dalang was much better than this kid...

Compared with Changsun Wuji's depression, Fang Xuanling felt relaxed all over, squinting his eyes and pretending not to care, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart...

Who would have thought that such a troublesome mallet in the family would be favored by His Majesty?

This is of great use!

It seems that even if he retires immediately, he will be considered a successor.

Cheng Yaojin was the most friendly, grinning wide, and gave Fang Jun an encouraging smile.

As for Hou Junji, he had a gloomy face, no joy or anger, and seemed to always have a poker face...

Only Ma Zhou's clear voice remained in the hall: "...From February to May of the seventh year of Wude, the Pingshu Zhongliao people rebelled; In March of [-], the Shanliao rebelled in Pingmei Prefecture. In the fifth year of Zhenguan, the Pingliao people of Feng An rebelled. How many times have people rebelled? Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, people from all over the country have risen one after another, rebelling continuously, destroying the economy and farming in various places, and bringing turmoil to the entire country. To fight against the outside world, you must first settle the inside. If the people are completely subdued, it will definitely be a trouble in the heart during the future Eastern Expedition! Especially the mountain bureaucrats in the Lianghuai area must be severely cracked down!"

The sultry in Ma Zhou's mouth does not only refer to the Liao people of one clan or one place, but the collective name of the uncivilized ethnic minorities living in the mountains and fields in the Tang Dynasty.Among them, the most frequent rebellions were the Shu Diliao and the Lianghuai Mountain Liao.

Changsun Wuji withdrew his jealousy towards Fang Jun, and sighed: "It's easy to say, but these people live in remote areas, and most of them live in deep mountains and old forests, which is not conducive to encirclement and suppression by large armies. And it will cost a lot of money and food to launch an army. If it lasts for a long time, the national power will naturally be wasted. But if the number is small, there is nothing to do with the brave and good at fighting, but it will be a headache!"

Since ancient times, suppressing bandits has not been a good job.

There are too many troops going, and they go to the mountains with a cat, and you can't even find the shadows of those in poor mountains and evil mountains!If the stalemate continues, a large amount of food consumption will make the country's finances miserable.But there are fewer troops going, and they will fight against you. If you accidentally won two battles by bandits, it will be a huge blow to morale...

Everyone was frowning, but Fang Jun secretly said: "If the enemy advances, we will retreat; if the enemy is stationed, we will harass; if the enemy is tired, we will attack; if the enemy retreats, we will pursue!"Isn't this our army's guerrilla tactics...

Could it be that our army's sixteen-character formula for guerrilla warfare was learned from the mountain bureaucrats of the Tang Dynasty?
Ma Zhou also said: "Although the rebellion by the mountain bureaucrats in Bazhou is powerful, it is a disease of scabies after all. It just takes time to clear it up. But recently, Tubo and Tuguhun are ready to move, and they have the intention of sending troops to invade the border again. , but I have to guard against it." As he spoke, he glanced at Fang Jun.

It was precisely because of Fang Jun's messing up that His Majesty Li Er had to cancel the marriage policy, which led to the dissatisfaction of Tubo and Tuyuhun.

His Majesty Li Er also gave Fang Jun a hard look.

Fang Jun looked at the nose and the heart, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes without saying a word, but secretly complained in his heart: Blame me?
