Fang Jun was arrested by the Ministry of Punishment on charges of murder and interrogated in court. It was said that all the witnesses and material evidence were conclusive, and he was about to be demoted, dismissed from office and sent to the army. How could the entire Fang family not be panicked by such a big event?
When the mistress Lu heard the news, she immediately caught Fang Xuanling who was drinking tea and practicing calligraphy in the study, and scolded her. It was nothing more than the rhetoric of "old and incompetent, weak and can be bullied", which angered Fang Xuanling.
Ling Wang himself was the prime minister of the dynasty, but he couldn't even protect his own son, so he forced him to mobilize his connections and go to the Ministry of Punishment to recruit people.
Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang were also panicked. They didn't know the reason, and they didn't know what Fang Jun was doing at the moment. How could the husband and wife not be worried when they were connected?
Wu Meiniang encouraged Princess Gaoyang to come to Fang Xuanling's study to find out about Fang Xuanling. If Fang Xuanling was still as indifferent as before, "the mountain man has his own clever tricks", he would turn to the other side for a long time.
Palace, go to the emperor to find out the news.
This time, Fang Xuanling was not as pretentious as before. After being scolded by Mr. Lu, he immediately revealed the details of the future and his own speculations.
It was everywhere that Fang Xuanling changed his temper. In fact, his two daughters-in-law were pregnant with Liujia. If anything went wrong due to fear, worry and anger, not only could Mr. Lu strangle him to death, but he himself would have to blame himself and feel guilty for the rest of his life.
…
"You ladies, please be patient. In my opinion, Erlang is not in much danger at the moment." Fang Xuanling comforted the women while stroking his beard.
The three wives didn't know why, and they all looked at Fang Xuanling eagerly...
Fang Xuanling could only cough and elaborate on the reason.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty knows it well. Regardless of whether Changsun Dan's death has anything to do with Erlang, Your Majesty will protect Erlang. This has already involved the struggle at the top. If anyone backs off, it means that he is weak. Just imagine, once Your Majesty has something to do,
Wouldn't giving in make the Guanlong Group prosperous and even greatly enhance its prestige among the people? In this way, all your majesty's long-term plans will be in vain. Who else will dare to charge for your majesty in the future and compete with the Guanlong Group?
struggle?"
Mrs. Lu and Princess Gaoyang blinked, feeling that what Fang Xuanling said made sense, but in a daze they felt that it shouldn't be so simple...
The emperor is the master of the world. If he wants to protect Fang Jun, can he allow the Ministry of Punishment to arrest him and interrogate him? Since he is detained by the Ministry of Punishment, does that mean that the emperor has lost control of the court, at least within the Ministry of Punishment?
The country has been controlled by the Guanlong Group and has begun to refuse to obey the emperor's orders?
Wu Meiniang thought for a moment, her beautiful eyes were like water, and she asked tentatively: "What does father mean... The reason why Your Majesty condones the seat of the Ministry of Justice, is there a deeper meaning? Or even... ulterior motives?"
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and smiled, feeling greatly relieved.
He looked at his son's concubine with approval, and while appreciating it in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little pity for her. However, she was not as noble as Princess Gaoyang, so she had to bend down and become a concubine. If she could become the main wife, she would
With her political talent, why should the Fang family not be able to achieve long-lasting blessings?
Naturally, Princess Gaoyang has a simple mind and an upright temperament, and is also an excellent daughter-in-law.
Fang Xuanling nodded slightly and said: "I and your majesty have been serving pommel and horse for thirty years since they were in trouble. When it comes to guessing your majesty's temperament and endowment, there are only a handful of people in the world who are better than me. They are just human ministers.
It is my duty not to speculate on the emperor's heart, so it's better for you to have an idea of what's going on."
This is a matter of fact. According to Fang Xuanling's understanding of His Majesty Li Er, just by watching quietly from the side, he can know what His Majesty Li Er's intention is.
There are just some things that you can infer in your heart, but it’s best not to say them out loud...
Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang felt relieved.
There are countless wise men in the world, but how many of them can surpass Fang Xuanling in grasping the political situation of the court?
If Fang Xuanling said it's okay, then it must be okay.
The two daughters-in-law were persuaded by him to settle down, but why can’t the old wife be easily dismissed?
It wasn't that Mrs. Lu didn't believe Fang Xuanling's guess, she just couldn't stand it. Every time something happened to Erlang, this biological father pretended to be profound, but in fact he always turned a blind eye.
Princess Gao Yang and Wu Meiniang were helpless when faced with Lu's behavior. How could they stay here to see Fang Xuanling in embarrassment? So they resigned together.
Before the two of them reached the door, they heard Mrs. Lu behind her, patting the table in front of Fang Xuanling, and asked sternly: "You old man, do you have Erlang as a son in your heart? Why do you act like this every time something happens to Erlang?"
You've never been interested in your calm and gentle appearance? They say that father and son are connected, but why didn't you show even a little bit of worry and anxiety? Could it be that Erlang was born from my mother's stolen life, and you are not his?
Daddy?"
When the two daughters-in-law heard this, their feet suddenly trembled, and they almost fell down at the door... They finally managed to stabilize their bodies, and they didn't even dare to look back. They suppressed their laughter and walked out together.
Fang Xuanling's old face turned purple...
He immediately became furious, pointed his halberd and yelled: "It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable! But we know that women should be graceful, elegant and quiet, and abide by etiquette? How is such nonsense different from a shrew?"
How could Mrs. Lu be afraid of him losing his temper?
Fang Xuanling had been eating him up for a long time in his life, so he retorted: "What about the shrew? I remember when you went to Fan Yang to propose marriage to the Lu family, why didn't you call me a shrew? Think about it with your conscience.
Have you ever relied on the help of Mrs. Fan Yang and Lu over the years? Why didn't you say that I was a shrew at that time? Oh, now my first wife is a piece of shit, no longer worthy of your majestic minister. You said that I don't know how to be gentle, elegant and quiet, and don't know how to observe the etiquette of a woman.
She is a shrew. She wants to marry a beautiful girl, so she kicked me out, right?"
Fang Xuanling was almost so angry that smoke came out of her nose!
Have you ever relied on the help of the Fan Yang Lu family? Of course he has. Although he is the humerus of His Majesty Li Er, the government is unpredictable. There will always be difficulties of one kind or another after being in charge of the center for so many years. How can the Fan Yang Lu family be left vacant?
Powerful relatives instead of using them?
I was caught in a pigtail right now...
But why don't you tell me, didn't Fan Yanglu benefit from being here?
We are already in-laws, how can we still treat each other as if we are guests and keep our differences clear?
As for the nonsense about the original wife being a spoiler, Fang Xuanling was even more annoyed.
However, after all, Fang Xuanling was the prime minister in charge of the central government, and calmness in the face of trouble was the most basic quality. He angrily said, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise", and left with a wave of sleeves.
You would never be stupid enough to argue with a woman.
In other words, he has never won a fight in his life...
If I can't quarrel with you, can I still avoid you?
The servants in the mansion naturally knew about the quarrel between the master and his wife in the study. They didn't know the cause and effect. They took it for granted that the master was helpless about Erlang's matter, and the wife got angry and scolded him for being incompetent...
The servants were all worried, and for a while the atmosphere in the entire room was depressing, with everyone's faces grim and without a trace of smile.
In this family, Erlang's status and influence have gradually surpassed that of the head of the family, Fang Xuanling, who has always been indifferent. Fang Jun's presence is much greater than that of Fang Xuanling.
If any of the servants of the Fang family went out to reveal their identity, which one would not receive the envy and jealousy of others? Everyone knows that the Fang family is now a rising noble. As Fang Jun's official position becomes more and more important,
The higher it is, the more the Fang family will have in the future.
The youngest second-rank official in the court, the youngest official in the border areas, and the most powerful candidate to join the cabinet and rule the world in the future...
While they were proud of their Erlang, the servants of the house also felt deeply helpless...
Erlang is so capable of causing trouble!
In the past three days or so, if something happens and the city of Chang'an shakes and shakes, it will definitely make you feel uncomfortable all over.
It's just that this matter is a bit too big now...
Killing someone is nothing, but killing the legitimate son of the Changsun family... this is a bit of a suicide attempt.
The situation in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment was also spread to the mansion. Fang Jun refused to confess in the face of torture instruments in the lobby, and generously forgave Wang Dunshi, a servant of Fang's mansion, which further enhanced Fang Jun's prestige in the family.
.
Following such a master is like burning incense and accumulating virtue for eight lifetimes!
It's just a pity that Wang Dunshi, who has always been responsible and upright, was involved by his own son and had to frame Erlang against his conscience...
There was a sudden noise at the main entrance of the house.
