Chapter 401 The Emperor's Wrist(1/2)

 Quickly approached His Majesty Li Er a few steps away, Li Junxian knelt on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, the Right Guard General Duan Zan just had a conflict with Zhongyi Marquis Yang Fan, and Zhongyi Marquis chopped Duan Zan's thigh."

"Duke Bao was furious and was coming to Tai Chi Palace, wanting His Majesty to uphold justice."

Originally, His Majesty Li Er was drinking tea leisurely. After hearing this, the tea in his mouth was sprayed out directly and asked in disbelief:

"What did you say? Yang Fan deposed Duan Zan?"

"That's right!" Li Junxian didn't dare to breathe, and quickly answered.

His Majesty Li Er stood up, kicked the desk in front of him, and shouted:

"Yang Fan is simply lawless. Even if there is a conflict, how can he take such a heavy move?"

In His Majesty Li Er's opinion, the conflict between these second generations is just a combination of fists and feet, and he will not care no matter how serious the injury is.

But Yang Fan made Duan Zan, the future prince, a bit out of the way.

If this matter is not handled well, Yang Fan will inevitably become the thorn in the eyes of most second-generation scholars in Chang'an City, and will also be caught by the censors of the Censorate.

After venting for a while, His Majesty Li Er gradually calmed down: "Let me tell me about the cause and effect of this matter."

Li Junxian immediately told the story of the hundreds of cavalry detecting, with the content in full detail.

Although he had a good relationship with Yang Fan, Li Junxian did not have any protection, and it was a completely narration of facts.

One is the son of the founding prince, and the other is a rising star in the court. They are both young talents that Your Majesty is quite optimistic about.

Others may not know the status of these two people in His Majesty's heart. How could Li Junxian, who always accompanies the emperor, not know?

It can be said that Duan Zan is one of the representative figures among the second generation of nobles that His Majesty values ​​the most.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be reused in the future, otherwise the only 100 fire flint pistols would not be distributed to the right guards for fifty, and Duan Zan would be allowed to lead the right guards on their behalf.

Now that Duan Zan has been deposed by Yang Fan, if he is a little biased, it is very likely that he will cause more trouble to Yang Fan, but will also be disliked by His Majesty Li Er.

After listening to Li Junxian's statement, he did not show anger at Yang Fan cutting Duan Zan's legs, but sighed deeply, and a trace of disappointment flashed across his face: "You said Duan Zan is going to trouble Yang Fan, and there is a shadow of a noble family behind him?"

"Yes." Li Junxian nodded.

Upon hearing this, Li Er's face was gloomy and clear.

Li Er has always attached great importance to Duan Zan's second generation, but also likes to use such people.

On the one hand, Duan Zan is quite extraordinary at a young age. As long as he is allowed to undergo training, he can give him important tasks and become the best among the second generation of nobles and allow him to grow up quickly.

On the other hand, it is believed that Duan Zan's second-generation loyalty is easy to use.

His Majesty Li Er is still nostalgic about the brothers who conquer the world together.

Their descendants, His Majesty Li Er, are also willing to believe in their loyalty.

Besides, I believe that I can control these people, so I dare to make great use of it.

The Duan family was involved in the ambushing of King Li Ke of Wu and Yang Fan, but His Majesty Li Er did not hold Duan Zan responsible.

Instead, he distributed only one hundred pistols to the right guard as much as half, which can be foreseen that he attached importance to it.

Now Duan Zan is so close to the aristocratic family, which disappoints His Majesty Li Er very much.

His father Duan Zhixuan was not happy because he was close to the aristocratic family.

Logically speaking, Duan Zan should stay away from the aristocratic family.

But how could it be that Duan Zan was willing to be used by the aristocratic family to deal with Yang Fan.

His Majesty Li Er felt a headache while being disappointed.

On the one hand, I feel Duan Zan deserves it, but on the other hand, I don’t know what to do.

More importantly, Duan Zan's brainless behavior made His Majesty Li Er smell the scent of conspiracy.

These aristocratic families were so eager to incite Duan Zan to trouble Yang Fan, and obviously had some intentions.

It is not necessary to think about it and know that it should be to prevent Yang Fan from presiding over the imperial examination reform.

However, His Majesty Li Er also secretly hated Yang Fan for not being able to restrain himself. Didn’t this let the officials of the Censorate seize the handle?

When thinking of the upcoming Duke of Baoguo Duan Zhixuan, His Majesty Li Er had a headache.

No matter what, this is also a group of heroes who have won the world with him.

Yang Fan deposed his two sons one after another, but it would be strange if Duan Zhixuan was not in a hurry.

His Majesty Li Er really doesn't want to face Duan Zhixuan's crying.

After rubbing the temples that were beating around, Li Er said a little depressedly: "I let someone hold Duan Zhixuan back for a while, and call Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, Li Ji, Changsun Wuji and others to the palace to make up for the total."

"Here!" Li Junxian retreated.

When Fang Xuanling and his friends rushed to Ganlu Hall, they saw a pile of broken porcelain pieces on the smooth floor, which were the remains of some teacups, and the tea water was flowing all over the floor.

After listening to Li Junxian's statement, looking at His Majesty Li Er who was angry in front of him, Fang Xuanling, Li Ji and others looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Yang Fan is really a troublemaker. Duan Zan is just coming to the door to find an explanation, why did he act so ruthlessly?

If Duan Zan wants to make an explanation, he can just push it to His Majesty Li Er directly. Why do you have to mess with him? How can His Majesty Li Er handle this?

It seems that this matter is not easy to deal with today. His Majesty Li Er came to them to discuss countermeasures.

Li Ji thought something was reasonable about Yang Fan’s actions. As a general, he should have blood.

But Changsun Wuji disagreed. How could there be such a simple place in the court?

Blind killing will only cause resistance from other officials and make the road to becoming an official even more difficult.

There are rules in the officialdom, and you cannot rely solely on fists, but you need to use official means to be the right way.

Although the process may be slower, this is in line with the rules of the officialdom.

If you kill someone like Yang Fan, you will be too depressed, and it is a bit awkward.

...

Of course, His Majesty Li Er came to them just to find someone to tell them.

Li Er actually has his own opinion on this matter.

Li Tang had a strong Hu bloodline in his bones, which made his behavior somewhat contrary to the authentic Confucian traditions. They still spoke with fists in their bones.

His Majesty Li Er generally affirmed Yang Fan's behavior, and he would take action if he should.

In fact, it is just like the relationship between countries.

If those small countries dare to invade the Tang Dynasty, they will definitely be strongly attacked by the Tang Dynasty, so that these small countries will know the power of the Tang Dynasty and prevent them from acting rashly.

A full of benevolence, righteousness and morality cannot influence those barbarians who transform from external things, because what they pursue and respect in their hearts is the prey of the weak!

Only by subdueing small countries that dare to take action can other neighboring countries not dare to make any changes.

The truth is the same. Yang Fan’s counterattack against Duan Zan was just like the Tang Dynasty’s counterattack against a small country. He needed to be defeated and feared, so other people dared not provoke him.

However, Yang Fan's actions made His Majesty Li Er very angry. After all, he is the one who wiped Yang Fan's butt now.

Seeing His Majesty Li Er's face fluttering, as someone who is close to Yang Fan, Fang Xuanling and Li Ji tried their best to excuse Yang Fan.

Fang Xuanling coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, that boy Yang Fan has been doing things in a day or a day. The old minister thinks he should be given a strict commandment."

"However, the Marquis of Zhongyi was so arrogant, and he couldn't force him. Fortunately, he was just young and impatient. When he was a little older and experienced more, he would calm down."

"The old minister believes that the mistake of this matter is not caused by the Zhongyi Hou. Instead, it is the incident caused by Duan Zan's intentional provocation. The consequences should be borne by Duan Zan himself."

Li Ji also agreed with each other: "Your Majesty, I think Fang Xiang is right. Although Zhongyi Marquis is a little more impetuous, who is not young and energetic?"

"Besides, Zhongyi Hou is very talented, and the reform of the imperial examination system alone cannot leave Zhongyi Hou's planning and organization."

"If His Majesty punishes this incident, he will definitely teach him a lesson, and he will be able to reform himself and become a pillar of the country in the future."

After the two important officials pleaded with each other, His Majesty Li Er's anger was slightly suppressed.

In fact, he didn't have much anger in his heart, but Yang Fan didn't know the importance of the attack but asked him to clean up the mess. His Majesty Li Er was just unable to put his face down.

However, I really didn't expect that Yang Fan would have such a good relationship with these important officials in the court, so I had some thoughts in my mind.

Hearing Fang Xuanling and the others' words, Changsun Wuji immediately stopped doing it and quickly said, "The Prince of Fang is different from the British Duke. Although the Marquis of Zhongyi is young, he is also in the high position of the Minister of Rites. How can he avoid such a mistake in just one word?"

"Besides, if you take action at a young age, you will be so cruel. If you don't punish it seriously, won't you be even more lawless in the future."

After saying that, Changsun Wuji stopped talking, as if he was not concerned about his own affairs.

Although Fang Xuanling and Li Ji wanted to help, this was related to Changsun Wuji, so it was hard to tear his face. It was only possible to see how His Majesty Li Er dealt with it.

Seeing that Fang Xuanling and Li Ji were not talking, Changsun Wuji smiled proudly and felt that he had already made 10% back.

In any case, these important officials in the court are still afraid of their own strength and fear of their relationship with His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er smiled softly: "The auxiliary Ji is quite reasonable. The Marquis of Zhongyi is arrogant and cannot be punished because of his youth. So how do you think you should punish this kid?"

If it were normal times, when His Majesty Li Er said this, no one would dare to object.

However, it is obvious that Li Jing will not worry about these things.

Although Lao Li rarely gets involved in the government affairs, his status is transcendent and he has never been afraid of offending others.

The reason why I rarely speak is just to protect myself.
To be continued...
