Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

"Are you planning to leave the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin stared at Fang Yuan, said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, I just moved the institute."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

"I won't allow it!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Fang Yuan didn't answer. The move was already a certainty. It was impossible not to move just because of Li Shimin's disapproval.

The emperor is the master of the world, but he is not Fang Yuan's master. It is impossible for Fang Yuan to agree to Li Shimin's order.

"Remember, I don't allow it."

Seeing Fang Yuan's silence, Li Shimin emphasized again.

Fang Yuan remained silent and did not directly answer Li Shimin's words.

Li Shimin looked angry, but did not continue to say harsh words, feeling uncomfortable.

Fang Yuan has suffered a lot of grievances recently. If he continues to suppress him, it will probably be counterproductive.

But that's all. The institute cannot move away from Chang'an City. I will arrange for people to keep an eye on it.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will go back and rest first."

When Fang Yuan saw that Li Shimin was also silent, he immediately offered to leave.

It's just that everyone is unhappy if you stay. There is no need to stay and make yourself uncomfortable.

"When will you recover and go on duty?"

Li Shimin asked.

It's not an option for Fang Yuan to take leave all the time. The Ministry of Accounts has a lot to do.

"In a few days."

Fang Yuan said without thinking.

Now that he returns to the household department, he will only become a joke and be suppressed by Gao Shilian.

I have no idea of ​​going back for the time being, I will rest for a while first.

"That's good."

Li Shimin didn't expect Fang Yuan to deal with him, so he let Fang Yuan leave with satisfaction.

Fang Yuan resigned and went home.

As soon as he returned to Fang Mansion, he saw Juzi coming back.

"The institute is ready. How will we move in three days? Do you want me to prepare a carriage?"

Juzi asked.

He only knew that the institute was moving to a paradise overseas, but he didn't know where exactly it was.

In fact, it's not that Fang Yuan doesn't want to say it, but that there is no specific direction and there is no way to explain where it is.

"No need, let's leave by boat."

"How many people are willing to go with us now?"

Fang Yuan shook his head and asked immediately.

He went to the institute not long ago and did not ask about the specific number of people.

Because there are still some people who have not been persuaded and are still hesitating.

"After agreeing to take their family members together, more than [-]% of them are willing to go with them."

"For those who have less than [-]% left, I am ready to stop persuading them and let them be free."

Juzi said.

It's already been said.

Those who are still hesitating either really don’t want to leave, or they want to improve their salary.

But this is a two-way choice. When they choose the institute, the institute also chooses them.

Without the institute, they may have no value, but without them, the institute is still the institute.

"As you arrange."

"Let them leave quietly without making a big fuss."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"what happened?"

Juzi suddenly felt something was wrong.

Just leave, no need to remind you how to leave, right?
"The emperor does not agree with the relocation of the institute."

Fang Yuan told what happened to the emperor just now.

"Can we still leave?"

Juzi was suddenly surprised.

Unexpectedly, the relocation of the institute alarmed the emperor.

Alarmed, he actually went to Fang Yuan personally to ask Fang Yuan not to move.

It is estimated that the institute has been targeted, and if it is forcibly relocated, Long Yan may be furious.

"You don't have to worry about this, just follow the arrangements."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Okay, then you pay attention."

Juzi didn't say much and nodded heavily.

With Fang Yuan supporting him, he didn't need to worry too much.

All in all, just do what Fang Yuan said.

In the following days, the institute stopped opening its doors and employees were on vacation.

They are not going to play during the holidays, but to say goodbye to their relatives or neighbors.

At the same time, I also prepared luggage, purchased items, etc. with my family members who were moving away with me.

There are only a thousand people in the institute, so it has not had a big impact.

However, Li Shimin has already made people pay attention to the institute.

Therefore, these behaviors of the institute's employees were known to Li Shimin.

"Damn it, Fang Yuan didn't listen to what I said?!"

Li Shimin was so angry that he slammed the table.

He immediately wanted Wang De to pass on Fang Yuan.

But after thinking about it, he didn't pass on Fang Yuan, but Fang Xuanling.

"Fang Yuan is moving the institute away, do you know?"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

"You know, Your Majesty wants to ask?"

Fang Xuanling asked, not knowing why.

The institute had announced a few days ago that it would be relocating.

As a well-known research institute in the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible for Fang Xuanling not to know about it.

But knowing it was one thing, but I didn't know why Li Shimin suddenly asked.

"Do you think the institute should be moved?"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I have never thought about this issue."

"I remember that you told the Supreme Emperor that the institute is only under the control of Fang Yuan."

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said.

When he heard that the research institute was going to be relocated, he immediately wanted to stop it.

However, he remembered that a long time ago, the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor had agreed that no one would be allowed to interfere with Fang Yuan's involvement in the institute.

So after the idea came up, I stopped thinking about it and let nature take its course. After all, it was not something I could interfere with.

"This"

Li Shimin was immediately speechless.

He forgot about this.

Now Fang Yuan still has the imperial edicts from him and the Supreme Emperor.

In this case, can't I leave the institute in Chang'an City?

"Your Majesty wants to keep the institute?"

Fang Xuanling saw Li Shimin's appearance and immediately understood.

After being a monarch and minister for so many years, Fang Xuanling understood Li Shimin very well.

"I believe you know the importance of the institute without me telling you."

"Such an important research institute can bring unimaginable benefits to Datang. I don't want it to be moved."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

There was a deep sense of reluctance in his words.

"Or talk to Mr. Fang?"

Fang Xuanling understood that the emperor really did not want the institute to leave.

But there is no good way for him to do this, because all the methods will be ineffective as long as Fang Yuan takes out the previous imperial edict.

"We talked about it, but he didn't agree."

Li Shimin probably talked about some things he had talked with Fang Yuan two days ago.

"Perhaps, Mr. Fang holds a grudge."

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said.

It's normal to feel resentful after being demoted from a minister to a minister.

"You want me to bow my head and admit my mistake?"

Li Shimin frowned and said in a deep voice.

It was a bit difficult for him to bow his head to Fang Yuan and admit his mistake.

As an emperor, there is no possibility of admitting mistakes to his ministers.

"Certainly not."

"Your Majesty can give you some compensation."

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said.

He naturally knew that the emperor would not bow his head to the ministers and admit his mistakes, and he never thought that the emperor would admit his mistakes to Fang Yuan.It's just that you can consider other aspects, such as giving some compensation or something, which should be able to eliminate Fang Yuan's grievances.

"I understand, you can go down first."

Li Shimin waved his hands.

"My minister retire."

Fang Xuanling left.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne, lost in thought.

Give Fang Yuan some compensation?
What compensation will be given?

What kind of compensation can make Fang Yuan's resentment disappear without going too far?

After all, there is no reward for no merit, and if you give him a reward casually, other ministers will have objections.

"Come here, tell me my message. Fang Yuanping's wife, Su Ziqing, is dignified, virtuous, and possessing both ability and political integrity. From now on, I will be named Mrs. Haoming of the second rank and be rewarded with gold."

Li Shimin suddenly thought of something and immediately called someone over to announce the decree.

There are many people who want to pursue this kind of glorious thing, but many people don't like it.

It's just a title.

Soon, Fang Mansion received an imperial edict from the imperial court.

"This, I was named the second-grade Madam Haoming?"

After Su Ziqing received the imperial edict, she was so excited that she could hardly contain herself.

However, she was more curious about why her account was suddenly blocked.

So her beautiful eyes looked at Fang Yuan, expecting Fang Yuan to give her an answer.

Similarly, Du Miaoyan and others were also puzzled and looked at Fang Yuan.

"Perhaps they want to compensate me for being demoted and signal me not to move the institute."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

He hasn't done anything good recently, and the emperor won't reward him for no reason.

In the past few days, he had done several bad things. Li Shimin must have known that he couldn't stop him, so he rewarded Su Ziqing to show weakness.

"This, this, should I refuse?"

Su Ziqing suddenly lost her composure.

She couldn't bear it if Fang Yuan's plan was affected because of Mrs. Haoming of the second rank.

Any title is inferior to Fang Yuan's plan, because Fang Yuan is the master of this family, and he supports everything in this family.

With Fang Yuan, everyone in the family will be honored.

Without Fang Yuan, no one would respect her even if she was the second-grade Madam Haoming.

"No, just accept it with peace of mind."

Fang Yuan smiled.

The imperial edict is not to be retreated at will.

But I don’t mean that I have to be obedient after accepting the benefits.

The relocation of the institute is necessary, and it will not work no matter who comes.

The worst case scenario is to take out the previous imperial edicts and see who dares to block his way.

"Okay, okay."

Su Ziqing was so excited that she took the imperial edict back into her arms.

After today, her identity changed again, and she became Mrs. Haoming of the second rank.

Although she is a little inferior to Du Miaoyan's Yipin Haoming Madam, she is still a title after all.

From now on, in the eyes of the ladies in Chang'an City, she would no longer be an ordinary wife, and they would have to bow to her when they saw her.

"My lord, your letter!"

Suddenly, the dog came in from outside, carrying a letter.

"You guys chat, I'll be there later if I'm busy."

Fang Yuan looked at the envelope and knew it was a confidential letter.

So Su Ziqing, Du Miaoyan and the others were left to do whatever they wanted, and they went to work first.

Inside the study.

Fang Yuan opened the letter.

When the letter was unfolded, Fang Yuan knew it was from Gao Xiangyu.

Gao Xiangyu, who had been away for several months, had no news, and now he finally replied.

In the letter, Gao Xiangyu explained the current situation in Goguryeo and explained that Lu Tingmei had given birth to a boy.

There were also some trivial things in life that Fang Yuan did not look at carefully, but it could be seen that Gao Xiangyu was fine in Goguryeo.

A son was born!

My third son!
OK, what's your name?

Fang Yuan was slightly excited and wanted to know his name.

But after flipping through the envelope containing three pieces of paper, I didn't see my son's name.

He cursed Gao Xiangyu in his heart, and then Fang Yuan slowly calmed down and began to think about the next thing.

Lu Tingmei really gave birth to a son, so it was time for Gao Tianzhi to step down. He would help his son up, and Lu Tingmei would be in charge of politics behind the curtain for a short period of time.

Lu Tingmei's natal family is a large family in Goguryeo, and they must be able to handle politics smoothly behind the curtain.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan entered the palace with the letter.

"Fang Yuan, you are here, please give me a seat!"

When Li Shimin saw Fang Yuan arriving, he immediately greeted him with a smile, thinking that Fang Yuan was here to thank him for conferring Su Ziqing as the Second-Rank Haoming Lady.

"Your Majesty, Gao Xiangyu replied, Lu Tingmei gave birth to a son."

"Now that Japan is divided into three parts, it is actually just the Machiavellian strategy of the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo."

"I think that killing Gao Tianzhi at this time and supporting Gao Tianzhi's only son to ascend to power will help us destroy Japan, Silla and Baekje in the future."

Fang Yuan took out the letter and said in a deep voice.

"Gao Xiangyu is willing to help?"

Li Shimin was surprised.

I was a little disappointed that Fang Yuan didn't come to express his gratitude to me, but I wasn't disappointed either.

Because he has always been concerned about Goguryeo, and now there is finally news.

"Yes."

"I'm going to Goguryeo in the next few days."

Fang Yuan said solemnly.

"Could it be a trap?"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said worriedly.

The sudden news about Gao Xiangyu made him worried.

Moreover, Fang Yuan is having trouble with himself recently, fearing that Fang Yuan will take away the institute.

"Isn't it? You'll know when you go."

"If you don't go, you can't be sure whether it's true or false."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He also considered the question of whether it was a trap.

However, you have to really look to see if it is a trap to know.

So Fang Yuan decided to take action immediately and personally took everyone from the institute away.

"Okay, what do you need me to arrange for you?"

Li Shimin nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Let the troops close to Goguryeo gather and attack at any time."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"can."

Li Shimin has no objection.

"Then I'll go back and prepare."

Fang Yuan stood up and prepared to leave.

Li Shimin originally wanted to warn Fang Yuan not to move the institute.

But Fang Yuan's footsteps were very fast and he quickly reached the door. After thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

Now there is something to deal with in Goguryeo, Fang Yuan should not have that scheming to continue moving.

In fact, Fang Yuan just didn't want Li Shimin to mention the institute, so he left immediately after talking about the matter.

He didn't mention it again, so Fang Yuan took it as acquiescence and continued the migration.

Soon, Fang Yuan returned to Fang Mansion and talked to Du Miaoyan and others about going to Goguryeo.

"Husband, how about I go with you this time?"

Du Miaoyan said worriedly.

This trip to Goguryeo is likely to be a trap.

So Du Miaoyan was worried about Fang Yuan's safety and wanted to accompany him.

Su Ziqing on the side was also worried about Fang Yuan's safety and wanted to accompany him.

But she knew that she didn't know martial arts, and accompanying Fang Yuan would only hinder Fang Yuan.

"You can go and see Future Island if you want to."

"Zi Qing, do you want to go? Take your son with you."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

It is not necessary to take them all to the island when traveling to Goguryeo.

You can let them rest in the steel ship first and then enter Goguryeo by yourself.

"Can I do it too?"

Su Ziqing's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Okay, you all go and get ready."

Fang Yuan laughed.

If the future island is moved in the future, Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing still need to seek their opinions. (End of chapter)
