Chapter 1436 Family and Betrayal
The dispute in the main hall disappeared in an instant, and everyone looked at Gao Shilian who had always been silent.
As the official minister and the official secretary, his words are extremely weighty, but Gao Shilian is naturally close to the Guanlong Group because of his eldest grandson Wuji, and the interests of both parties are integrated, so he is naturally inclined to oppose it.
However, just when everyone thought that Gao Shilian would express his objection, Gao Shilian said slowly: "Everyone is arguing endlessly...but why haven't you thought about the original intention of Fang Shilang when he proposed this proposal?"
There was a solemn silence in the hall.
A group of civil and military ministers who were still arguing endlessly just now showed surprise, and then each of them was ashamed.
It has to be said that during the founding period of each dynasty, loyal and upright people who cared about the people accounted for the majority, regardless of the monarchs and ministers.Although they have different political opinions because of their own interests, and they will fight openly and covertly in private, but the bottom line of morality is basically the same. Everyone can seek common ground while reserving differences on the concept of ensuring the stability of the government and benefiting the people of the world. As for opposing just for the sake of opposing!
Why did Fang Jun propose this motion in the first place?
It's for rescue victims!
In this era of extremely low productivity, both communication and transportation are extremely backward, natural disasters and man-made disasters are common, floods, droughts, locust plagues, epidemics, earthquakes... Every disaster means that countless people are displaced or even die directly!
How to evaluate whether an empire is strong and whether an era is prosperous?
In ancient times, there was only one standard, and that was population!
This standard seems very simple, very rough, right?
But that's it!
With a larger population, more land can be cultivated, more food can be produced, more troops can be recruited, and more enemies can be defeated!
Conversely, only when an empire becomes strong and prosperous, with more land and more food, can it feed more people!
Therefore, there is only one condition for judging the so-called prosperous age in the history books - which era has a large population, which era is the prosperous age!
His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied with the reactions of the ministers. Since they all realized the mistakes, he would naturally not be harsh.Ministers are also human beings, they all have three aunts, six relatives, new friends, old friends, and they all live in circles, and the pursuit of interests is inevitable.
He never thought it was wrong for ministers to compete for interests, as long as there was a bottom line of moral restraint above interests, that would be fine.
But Changsun Wuji doesn't think so...
When Gao Shilian said such a sentence, his heart was shocked, and he looked at Gao Shilian's calm face in disbelief!
What is Fang Jun's original intention?
It's Rescue Victims!
This is righteousness!
Since Gao Shilian raised such a question at this time, it is obvious that he is completely inclined to implement Fang Jun's proposal...
But this is wrong!
The Guanlong Group has a profound influence in the army, and almost half of the middle and lower-level officers are from the Guanlong Group.These officers from the Guanlong Group have made great contributions to His Majesty Li Er's struggle for supremacy, and are the cornerstone of His Majesty Li Er's imperial power.
But it is precisely because the foundation of the Guanlong Group in the army is too deep, so His Majesty Li Er has always been obsessed with wanting to weaken the strength of the Guanlong Group. This time Fang Jun's proposal may include His Majesty Li Er Instigated by...
And what is it that Gao Shilian can get to today?
Although there are factors of his own shrewdness and ability, but more of it comes from the bonus of Guanlong Group!
Without Empress Wende, without his eldest grandson Wuji, and without the great support of the Guanlong Group, how could Gao Shilian have been the closest and most influential adviser to His Majesty Li Er for decades?
By Bohai Gaoshi?
Ha ha……
But now, Gao Shilian fought back and agreed with Fang Jun's proposal called disaster relief, but in fact, the dispersion of military power shook the foundation of the Guanlong Group!
Why do you want to do this?
The Guanlong Group can abandon Gao Shilian, but how could Gao Shilian turn against the Guanlong Group?
Changsun Wuji was full of incomprehension, and tried hard to find some clues from Gao Shilian's expression, but stared at Gao Shilian for a long time, but found nothing.
They are all mature people, so how can they reveal their emotions?
And Xiao Yu broke the last straw on the camel...
"Your Majesty, I believe that this proposal is really a brilliant strategy that will last forever!"
Xiao Yu, who had never spoken, followed Gao Shilian after Gao Shilian's statement, and talked eloquently: "Mencius said: Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!" "Xunzi·Kingzhi" also said, "The king is like a boat; the common people are like water." .Water carries a boat, and water capsizes a boat', which shows the importance of people's hearts. No matter how many victims can be rescued by Fang Shilang's proposal, it is only when the victims are devastated that every day should not be done, and the land will not work. Seeing the army sent by His Majesty at that time, the kind of spiritual comfort and the spiritual impact on all the people are enough to make His Majesty turn their hearts. As long as the people's hearts are in your favor, why worry about His Majesty's failure to achieve eternal hegemony, why worry about the Great Tang Dynasty Can't it last forever?"
This is Xiao Yu's brilliance, every word and every sentence is derived from ancient teachings, from the heart, and is reasonable, but it just happens to be able to scratch His Majesty Li Er's itch...
What is His Majesty Li Er most concerned about?
reputation!
As long as the people all over the world praise his goodness, why be afraid of the slightest potential trouble?
Besides, he has always trusted the civil and military ministers under his opponents, one Hou Junji is not enough, how can there be a second one?
Impossible!
At this time, the direction of the wind has completely changed to the side in favor. His Majesty Li Er glanced at the few ministers from the Guanlong Group who were still insisting on opposing him, and said with a blank expression, "If this is the case, let's try this method for now. After all, The matter is so important and it is an unprecedented measure, and it is inevitable that there are omissions in it, and it is gradually getting late during the trial, thinking that the system that will not be easy for future generations will make the people all over the world feel grateful to the imperial court, and the people will be united and united!"
The emperor made a decision, and said that it was a "trial", and Changsun Wuji didn't dare to continue to object.
This matter is a foregone conclusion, so we can't continue to entangle, otherwise it will only make his fewer and fewer "Holy Family" gradually wither...
Since Gao Shilian betrayed the water first, his next plan can be carried out without psychological pressure.
Changsun Wuji is naturally grateful to Gao Shilian as his uncle, but now that the interests of the eldest grandson's family, and even the entire Guanlong Group, are involved, family affection and gratitude can only be put aside.
If there is no distinction between public and private, how can he be a qualified politician who has dominated the court for so many years?
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Changsun Wuji secretly gave Jin Wang Li Zhi a wink...
His Majesty Li Er, who was on the throne, waved his hand and ordered the servants to serve tea and cakes to the ministers, and said with a happy expression: "What else is there, let's talk in detail, first drink saliva and eat a few snacks to cushion the stomach, and I will be in the palace later. Host a banquet and get drunk with everyone!"
His Majesty Li Er likes to "have fun with the people" the most. He often drinks and plays with these civil servants and military generals, big or small, and sometimes dances when he drinks too much...so the ministers are used to it, and they just quarreled so dry If you are dry, drink some tea to moisten your throat, so as not to spoil your throat when there are more disputes later...
The atmosphere that was still tense just now has eased again.
Speaking of it, everyone's conflicts are for the interests of their respective camps. Although they will never retreat during this period, they have no personal grievances, and there is no need to fight tit for tat.
But of course there are exceptions...
King Li Zhi of Jin drank his tea absently, looked up and saw his uncle winking at him again, he was really helpless, but he didn't dare to disobey his uncle, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Father, my son has something to say."
"Oh? Hehe, it's really rare to have your own political opinions when you participate in the political discussion for the first time. Look at the elder brother of the prince beside you, who is as silent as a gourd."
His Majesty Li Er showed his face and smiled, seemingly encouraging and praising the little Jiuer, but in fact he didn't think so.
As he said, Li Zhi is not only young, but also has little talent and learning, and it is the first time to participate in political discussions. Naturally, he should keep a low profile and learn a lot, and don't express his political opinions lightly.And the prince's performance is good, listen more, watch more, learn more and talk less, this is what the prince should do.
Two words - duty...
But he loves Li Zhi very much. Although he is dissatisfied in his heart, he can't bear to criticize him harshly. He just beat him lightly.
After thinking about it, the eldest grandson Wuji will naturally teach him carefully...
Although Li Zhi was young, he was quite cunning, and he could hear what his father said was wrong, but at this moment he could only bite the bullet and pretend to be confused, and said: "Father Mingjian, now Fang The rumors about Sister Changle and Fang Shilang in the city are raging uncontrollably, which has already caused extremely serious damage to the reputation of my Li family and the dignity of the royal family! Therefore, I believe that I should do my best to investigate whether there is anyone who is instigating behind it. Suppress this rumor completely!"
His Majesty Li Er was taken aback by saying a word. Why is this kid concerned about this matter?
But when I think about it carefully, I feel that it should be the childish slave who loved and loved his sister Changle since childhood. Seeing that Changle's reputation has been damaged at this time, he felt very angry and brought this matter that could not be brought to the court. Say.
But he didn't know what kind of waves would be caused by such a trivial incident that "doesn't come to the fore"...
