Chapter 68 The Mansion Was Surrounded
Chapter 68 The Mansion Was Surrounded
Tang Jian and Li Jing have a deep grudge against each other.
At that time, the Turks were beaten so badly that they pretended to ask for peace. The imperial court sent Tang Jian as an envoy to negotiate with the Turks.
Li Jing didn't care about his life or death. He was still in the Turkic area, but he took advantage of the Turkic's laxity to kill them.
If it weren't for his personal guards who risked their lives to protect him, Tang Jian would have only been honored after his death.
His personal guards were all family members, and they all died in this battle.
Tang Jian didn't know how to face the relatives in her family who wanted to be her son, brother, father, and husband.
As a result, not only did Li Jing not apologize, he also said that people like Tang Jian were not worth pitying.
Completely trampled Tang Jian's dignity underfoot.
Who can bear this?
No one would be able to swallow this humiliation. They would hate and curse for the rest of their lives.
From then on, Tang Jian did four things a day: eating, attending court, sleeping, and scolding Li Jing.
Almost all of them are publicly known to the government and the public.
But you can't say that Tang Jian is wrong.
Li Jing, is that something a human would do?
He deserves to be chased and scolded by Tang Jian every day.
Tang Jian’s attitude now is, if you, Li Jing, are unhappy, I will do everything I can to make it happen.
Who made him the Minister of Civil Affairs, in charge of money and grain?
Without him.
I am rich and I am arrogant.
What can you do to me?
Bite me.
Everyone knows the grudge between Tang Jian and Li Jing.
Li Er knew about this and realized that what he did was indeed a bit unkind.
He really didn't know what to say.
What he wanted to see was the destruction of the Turks.
Looking back, he seemed to have punished Li Jing and barely gave Tang Jian an explanation, but his intention to protect him was also obvious.
Since there was no way to really punish Li Jing severely, Tang Jian felt aggrieved again.
Can't we just let people scold us?
"Five thousand people, a little too many, maybe three thousand."
"Duke Ju, please don't keep the two thousand men that are missing. Give them all to the new army."
Li Er made a joke to ease the atmosphere.
"So, how are the people responsible for thinking selected? What are the criteria?"
"Wei Zheng, you have a lot of ideas, tell us about them."
He named.
Wei Zheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, you should select talents in a targeted manner and conduct examinations and selections from all over the world."
"The court sets the questions, and the candidates answer them. At the same time, they also have to go through the court's questioning and examination."
Li Er nodded, "We need to be cautious about this issue and we need to gather everyone's wisdom."
"We'll discuss it later."
"Since Zhijie is a Duke and serves as the head coach, then his partner, even if he is not a Duke, cannot be too low-ranking."
He looked around and asked, "Do you have anyone suitable to recommend?"
Cheng Zhijie is a duke, so in contrast, he cannot be too weak.
otherwise.
What is the significance of this experimental new army?
You can see the final result without any experimentation.
Since Li Er has decided to establish a new army, he must want to see results.
Sending Cheng Zhijie to go shows that the court attaches great importance to the matter, and also makes the military generals understand that the court is not deceitful.
By then, when there are results, promotion will be able to convince the public and there will be much less resistance.
But I'm not afraid since I can sit with Cheng Zhijie.
This is a test of one's ability.
When asked, no one spoke.
Li Er also knew that this candidate was difficult.
"His Majesty!"
Tang Jian stood up again at this time, and Li Jing couldn't help but twitch his eyes.
"Since you don't have any suitable candidates."
"Then I will recommend myself."
Tang Jian stood up, held his head high, and said with a serious look, "I will be the person in charge of the army's ideology."
"Duke Lu is a duke, and I, Tang Jian, am also a duke."
"We are all dukes, so let's be fair and just. No one should say who is afraid of whom." After saying that, he raised the corners of his mouth and glanced at Li Jing with contempt.
I'm going to smash all of your pots and pans, Li Jing.
I've never been able to sleep or eat well in my life.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling all widened their eyes.
There was shock in his eyes.
Tang Jian is going crazy.
Cheng Zhijie recommended himself because he was originally a military general.
Tang Jian's self-recommendation was like a sheep entering a tiger's den, running to someone else's territory and acting wild.
No one expected that it would be okay for this guy to remain silent, but once he spoke, he would become the vanguard.
Immediately, the three of them were filled with admiration again.
It has to be said that Tang Jian's move was extremely risky.
It would be fine if it succeeds, but if it fails.
He has no position among the civil servants and will be excluded by the military officers.
Just go for it and do it.
Li Xiaogong spoke up and said, "Duke Ju, you have to think it over carefully."
"This is no joke."
"When you join the army, you will be a general."
Cheng Zhijie also echoed, saying: "The Duke of Ju is the Minister of Civil Affairs, a high position, in charge of the people's livelihood and the court's money. It would be a bit condescending for him to go to the army."
"Your Majesty, I will not do such a thing that would be a waste of your talent."
Almost all of them advised Tang Jian not to act on impulse.
You can curse all you want.
Every wrong has its perpetrator and there is no need to get yourself involved.
Just like before, when there is something to do, you scold the Duke of Weiguo, and when there is nothing to do, you scold the Duke of Weiguo too. That’s not good.
Why do you have to get involved?
"Ha ha……!"
Li Jing did not speak. He remained silent. Yuchi Jingde laughed, "It's really strange."
"Why is everyone so concerned about military affairs?"
"A Duke of Zhao spoke ill of the soldiers."
"The Minister of Civil Affairs no longer wants the Duke of Ju, and even transfers him to the army..."
"I'm telling you guys, what's your grudge or hatred that requires you to make everyone unhappy?"
It was really difficult for Changsun Wuji and others to express their support for Tang Jian on this matter.
Silence is actually the best attitude to support Tang Jian.
Tang Jian smiled softly and said, "Why, Duke Lu is afraid of me?"
"Duke E, am I unhappy, or are you unhappy?"
"You...!" Yuchi Jingde glared, and Cheng Zhijie laughed, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I am afraid of no one except Your Majesty."
"Since the Duke of Ju is willing to work with me, it is my great honor."
"But it still needs your Majesty's consent."
Li Er paused and said, "Duke Ju, have you thought it through?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not joke in front of you. I have already thought it through." Tang Jian bowed.
"In that case, I agree."
Li Er said: "However, you should take on the position of Shangshu for the time being."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Tang Jian sat back leisurely, his body straight and his face determined.
Where did you fall?
That’s where I’ll get up from.
A bunch of bastards who don't abide by military discipline have killed my relatives for military merit. Let me see how I will deal with you.
"The two head coaches have been confirmed, so..."
at this time.
There was a eunuch outside the hall who looked anxious and wanted to come in but didn't dare to, and was seen by the people inside the hall.
Li Er frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"
The eunuch walked in quickly and bowed, "Your Majesty, Duke Lu and Duke E's housekeepers have come outside the palace to report that the mansion has been surrounded. Duke Lu and Duke E are invited to return home..."
what?
Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde were stunned, and then became furious.
"Who is so bold as to surround my mansion?"
