Chapter 1,326 Wei Zheng is critically ill (Part 1)
His Majesty Li Er did not think there was any reason for Xiao Yu to be so kind to Fang Jun.
It is true that Xiao Yu's city would not be so glaring at Fang Jun, but with Xiao Yu's status, how could he be affectionate and friendly to Fang Jun, who had tormented the Jiangnan nobles to death?
After all, he was severely slapped in the face by Fang Jun...
Looking at His Majesty Li Er's suspicious eyes, Xiao Yu smiled and said nothing. Fang Jun looked slightly embarrassed and whispered: "Song Guo Gong... wants to propose a marriage to Wei Chen."
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows immediately.
Taking concubines?
Then, he turned to look at Xiao Yu beside him, half-smiling but not smiling: "Song Guogong is quite leisurely, but he actually arranges such elegant affairs?"
He was not angry because Xiao Yu allowed his son-in-law to take concubines. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the control of concubines was extremely loose. If they couldn't survive, there was no point in leaving them, let alone just taking concubines.
He was just surprised by Xiao Yu's shamelessness...
You are the leader of Qingliu, the leader of Jiangnan scholars!
In the end, in order to curry favor with Fang Jun, the popular Jing Zhaoyin, he made such a shameless and low-key show of favor?
Xiao Yu had a smile on his face, without any trace of shame or anger because of His Majesty Li Er's surprised gaze. He said calmly: "Erlang is honest, resolute and talented. He is the best son-in-law in his daughter's family. Who doesn't want to leave his family behind?" Is your daughter marrying such a young hero? Your Majesty, with your sharp eyes, seized the opportunity and married Princess Gaoyang to Erlang. We sincerely wish you the best. But your Majesty will not stop the old minister from sending his grandniece to the Fang family as a concubine, right? ?”
The royal family is naturally not comparable to the Xiao family, but is it not enough for your sons and daughters to be your wives and my daughters to be your concubines?
His Majesty Li Er: "Haha..."
After glancing at Xiao Yu, his eyes fell faintly on Fang Jun's face, which was profound.
Fang Jun was sweating a little. This was all the idea of Xiao Yu, an old fox. Why are you staring at me?
Everyone nearby was paying attention to the conversation here. Although Fang Jun and His Majesty Li Er spoke softly, they did not avoid anyone, so everyone heard clearly. When they heard that Xiao Yu actually wanted to kill their own grandniece. Marrying Fang Jun as a concubine, after everyone considered the intention of this move, they were all envious...
The Five Surnames and Seven Sects are the top nobles. They claim to inherit the Han family's robes, and they despise the powerful people of the Guanlong Group who have Hu people's ancestry. Even the Li and Tang royal families are not taken into their eyes and they easily refuse to deal with them. Intermarriage is for fear of disturbing the bloodline.
Therefore, in the eyes of the powerful people in Guanlong, whoever can marry a "daughter of the fifth surname" will be extremely honored!
But now it's good, the "Five-surnamed girls" that everyone has been asking for, are actually brought to Fang Jun's lips by Xiao Yu, as if he is afraid that Fang Jun won't eat them... They are all important officials of the imperial court, what's the difference? Is it that big?
Of course, many Guanlong dignitaries present also knew that Xiao Yu wanted to show his goodwill and win over Fang Jun, but it was not just because Fang Jun occupied the position of Jing Zhaoyin. The Fang family was from Shandong Although the reputation of the gentry has been low for hundreds of years, it has risen sharply in Fang Xuanling's generation. Now that Fang Junzhi has risen, he is already one of the top tycoons in Shandong!
The "Five Surnames and Seven Sects" were unwilling to intermarry with the powerful people of Guanlong, but the Jiangnan gentry spared no effort to win over the powerful men of Shandong, because the "Five Surnames and Seven Sects" themselves were part of it, and their interests were entangled and they married each other.
Fang Xuanling's wife, Lu, was born in the Lu family of Fan Yang...
Everyone can only express their envy to Fang Jun for such a blessing from heaven. First, Bang Chui married Jin Zhi Yu Ye, and then he had to take "women with five surnames" as concubines. Another concubine in the family, Mrs. Wu, was also a woman. She is so beautiful in the world, how come all the good things are taken care of by just one person?
There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and a chamberlain quickly walked in. He hurriedly came to His Majesty Li Er, leaned down to greet him, and then said quickly: "Your Majesty, I just received the news that Duke Zheng was sent to the palace. Duke Zheng is critically ill... "
"Ouch!"
Everyone in the hall could hear it clearly, and there was an uproar.
Is Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng seriously ill?
His Majesty Li Er stood up immediately and said solemnly: "Is this really true?"
The chamberlain said: "That's true. Just now, the Wei family sent someone to report to the palace. Your Majesty is not here. Your Highness, Changle, has already ordered the imperial doctor to go to the Wei family for treatment."
His Majesty Li Er nodded, looked at the Dou family who came after him, and said in a deep voice: "I will go to the Wei family first."
The Dou family members hurriedly said: "That's exactly what it should be."
The Dou family is the maternal clan of His Majesty Li Er. His mother-in-law is the eldest, so he is really a member of the family. What’s more, who doesn’t know Wei Zheng’s reputation all over the world? Now that he is seriously ill, His Majesty Li Er must go. Visiting, this does not count as leaving the Dou family aside and hurting the Dou family's face.
His Majesty Li Er nodded and immediately walked towards the door, followed closely by the servants.
After walking a few steps, His Majesty Li Er stopped again, turned around and said to Fang Jun: "You are going with me."
"Here."
Fang Jun hurried forward and followed His Majesty Li Er out.
Leaving behind you all the envious eyes...
What is the Holy Family?
This is the Holy Family!
What is imperial favor?
This is the emperor's pet!
Xiao Yu's eyes were dark and there was a smile on his lips.
Li Hui's eyes were complicated and his confidence was shattered...
*****
Quchifang was originally a wasteland hillside with tangled trees.
After Fang Jun renovated it, it was built into the leading livable place in Chang'an City. Nowadays, the land price has soared, and it has become a place where the powerful merchants in Chang'an City spend a lot of money but cannot get it...
The rain became less intense but still didn't stop.
The emperor's chariot entered along the square gate. It was raining so heavily, but there was not a trace of water on the flat and wide streets. It was obvious that the drainage facilities were extremely good.
Quchifang is not as neatly planned as other cities. Instead, it is built according to the terrain, making full use of the spatial gap and incorporating the mountain and forest scenery into the construction of the entire city. It is natural and harmonious, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere. .
"The pear blossoms are pale white and the willows are dark green, and when the catkins fly, the city is filled with flowers."
Because of the heavy rain, there were no catkins flying in the air, and the pear blossoms were white. Hundreds of old pear trees that had been preserved by Fang Jun when the square was first built were just in full bloom at this time, and the stretched branches were covered with strings of flower buds, slightly. Split petals, swaying in the rain...
Dawn is falling in the courtyard, the flowers are blooming and the fragrance of white snow is falling, a branch is lightly covered with rain, and the imperial concubine's makeup is wet with tears...
From time to time, a few drops of rainwater would be carried into the carriage by the breeze from the rolled-up curtains of the carriage and wet the corners of his clothes, but His Majesty Li Er was completely unaware of it. He looked deeply at the beautiful scenery outside the carriage and exclaimed: "This is Quchifang is indeed the most livable place in Chang'an City, and even I want to have a house here to live a quiet and peaceful life."
This is not easy to say...
Fang Jun simply refused to answer.
Who knows what His Majesty Li Er’s state of mind is now?
It stands to reason that Wei Zheng was seriously ill. As an emperor, he should naturally be heartbroken and filled with sorrow. He lamented that the heaven was ruthless and took this "Eternal Mirror" away from him. From then on, no one would sound the alarm for him when he was proud. Stern words of admonishment.
But thinking about Wei Zheng's many face-to-face scoldings without any scruples, and the last time Wei Zheng wanted Chu Suiliang to publish "Notes on Daily Life" to the world after his death... Fang Jun felt that even if His Majesty Li Er was a saint, he must have something in his heart. He was so angry with Wei Zheng that he wanted to capture and kill him!
Therefore, Fang Jun is not sure whether His Majesty Li Er is feeling sad because the humerus is about to pass away, or feeling relieved because the stumbling block is about to go, or a combination of both, it is difficult to tell... In short, the emperor's heart is unpredictable. Say less and make less mistakes. If you don't say it's good, just quietly be a handsome man...
After His Majesty Li Er finished speaking, he didn't hear any echoing words. He was a little surprised. He raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Jun. He saw this guy sitting upright with his eyes and nose in mind, as if he hadn't even heard what he said. He was so angry that he glared hatefully, but the Wei family was approaching and he was too lazy to settle the score with Bang Chui!
The imperial guard opened the way, and a group of vehicles arrived at the gate of Wei Mansion. Hou, a descendant of the Wei family, was at the door, ready to pick him up. There were also distinguished ministers who had received the news that Wei Zheng was critically ill and arrived first. At this time, they also gathered around the door to greet the holy driver. .
When His Majesty Li Er's chariot arrived at the door, everyone bowed slightly. Wei Shuyu, the eldest son of Wei Zheng, hurriedly stepped forward. He held an umbrella in one hand and lifted the curtain with the other. He leaned forward slightly with a respectful manner and full etiquette.
Then, a black-faced boy got out of the car, jumped to the ground with a slight jump.
"..."
Everyone swallowed back the words "Welcome to the Holy Emperor" and choked with coughs. They all stared at Fang Jun who got out of the emperor's car.
Wei Shuyu almost doubled over and looked at Fang Jun in front of him, his eyes widening.
