His Majesty Li Er left Fang Jun in the Wei Mansion.
This stick is best for causing trouble. If you stay here, Cheng Yaojin can suppress it. If you go to the Dou family, with the grievances and grievances with the Dou family's children, maybe something big will happen. Xiao Yu Although they have deep qualifications and high positions, they obviously cannot suppress Fang Jun.
When I was in Jiangnan, I was so frustrated...
Fang Jun did not dare to blame His Majesty Li Er for treating him as a "trouble" and quickly accepted the order: "I obey the order."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and then left.
The children of the Wei family and a group of ministers and nobles came to see him off.
After seeing off His Majesty Li Er and returning to the back house, Cheng Yaojin called Fang Jun to a side hall: "Come on, come on, I heard that Fang Erlang is not drunk after a thousand cups of wine, so come and have a few drinks with me."
After all, his relationship with Wei Zheng was different. He stayed and planned to wait until Wei Zheng was out of danger or passed away. He was worried that the Wei family's children would cause trouble if they refused to accept Fang Jun, so he called Fang Jun to drink.
Fang Jun didn't like to deal with Wei Zheng's stupid sons, so he readily agreed.

Dou family.
It keeps raining...
Before the end of Shenshi time, it was already approaching dusk.
Inside the courtyard, guests gathered, each whispering in small groups...
Xiao Yu did not go to the Wei Mansion. He and Wei Zheng had always been at odds with each other. If Wei Zheng was really dead, he would probably have to go to express his condolences. But since he was not dead, Xiao Yu, who represented the Jiangnan gentry, would I won't go to visit.
And the consort Wang Jingzhi sitting in front of him now would not even go.
When Wang Shichong proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang and raised a banner to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, he developed a deep hatred for the generals who were born in Wagang.
Wang Shichong was originally a Hu from the Western Regions and lived in Xinfeng. When he was very young, he lived with his grandmother who remarried to the Wang family in Bacheng and changed his surname to Wang. The Wang family in Bacheng is a branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Partial room...
When Wang Shichong rebelled against the Sui Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, the Taiyuan Wang family made great efforts.
At that time, Wagang Village had just collapsed, and most of the generals such as Wei Zheng, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Zhang Gongjin, Hou Junji, etc. all defected to Li Tang and became Li Shimin's team to compete in the world. Shan Xiongxin, because of his ancestors, He had a blood feud with the Li family and became a general under Wang Shichong.
In the end, Wang Shichong was defeated and killed, and Shan Xiongxin was bloody on the battlefield, entangled with grievances, love and hate.
His Majesty Li Er destroyed Wang Shichong, and the general situation of the world was decided. The Wang family of Taiyuan had to swear allegiance, but they hated the Wagang generals under His Majesty Li Er...
Xiao Yu and Wang Jingzhi were chatting happily, but before they arrived, Changsun Wuji also came in a hurry.
The three of them gathered together, a little far away from others, and their low-pitched conversations would not be heard...
"I received the Dou family's obituary notice in the afternoon. I was just busy with chores, so I just came here to express my condolences. As for the Wei family... I just got the news. I heard that Xuan Cheng is okay for a while, so it doesn't hurt to go later." Changsun Wu Ji looked tired, rubbed his eyebrows and replied.
Wang Jingzhi said worriedly: "Although Duke Zhao is in the Spring and Autumn Period, he must also pay attention to the balance between work and rest. He has passed away, so I hope you will pay more attention to your health."
Changsun Wuji smiled happily and said, "My good nephew has his heart, so I won't have to worry about it."
Wang Jingzhi is the youngest son of Wang Gui, a descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, the core of the serious Guanlong Group, and the natal family of Princess Jin's Wang family... Changsun Wuji must maintain courtesy and take him seriously. At the very least, he should make Wang Jingzhi feel valued... …
Wang Jingzhi quickly said: "It should, it should..."
Xiao Yu raised his eyelids and glanced at the elegant Wang Jingzhi, sighed slightly, and exclaimed: "If we talk about the rising stars in the court, in fact, Jingzhi can be regarded as a hero of the moment. However, Fang Er is so sharp that His Majesty favors him.
, it’s really a pity. Otherwise, with our respectable character, ability and family background, Your Majesty will definitely value you more and entrust you with important responsibilities. We are all old, and in the future, this big empire will still have to be accepted by young talents like you. Don’t be discouraged.
It’s so demoralizing.”
Wang Jingzhi's eyelids twitched. This was trying to create a wedge...
But knowing clearly that Xiao Yu's intentions were evil, he still felt an uncontrollable surge of sadness, dissatisfaction, and anger in his heart!
Ordinarily, they are all royal consorts and descendants of aristocratic families. The Taiyuan Wang family is far higher than the Qinghe Fang family by an unknown number of levels. They are all young and handsome men. How is Wang Jing worse than Fang Jun? Well, even if
Fang Jun is a man of extraordinary talent, and his reputation for poetry is unparalleled in the world, but Fang Jun has already graduated from the second rank of Jingzhaoyin, and what about himself? A mere official in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, well, from the fifth rank...
It’s not that Wang Jingzhi is narrow-minded, it’s that the gap is too big!
They are all princes-in-law, so what?
As luck would have it, Wang Jingzhi reminded himself that Xiao Yu's words were clearly unkind, but he still couldn't help but be jealous and angry, and it could not help but show on his face.
Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat and remained calm...
Changsun Wuji stroked his long beard, snorted and said: "That stick is just a smooth talker, how can he compare with a loyal and simple young man like Jingzhi? Let's see how he demolished the two cities in the east and west in order to please your majesty.
Ba Luo, the entire Guanzhong is in chaos, and given time, he will definitely be a traitor to the country and the chief culprit of chaos in government!"
Wang Jingzhi thought for a while and agreed: "Yes, if this son is not eliminated, the government will not be stable for a day. If we wait until his wings are full, it will be even more difficult!"
Although I don’t know what the plans of these two old foxes are, but since they want to deal with Fang Jun... then we are naturally obligated. Even if we are used for a while, what is the point?
We are willing to do so!
The three of them ignored each other, their eyes flickering...
Changsun Wuji stood up and said: "I went to the Wei Mansion for a visit. I am afraid that I will be separated from the yin and yang if I am not able to survive. I will try to say a few words to see if there is any explanation. It can be considered that I have been with you for many years."
Love should not be wasted on a colleague."
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be."
That being said, he wouldn't go anyway. He had been impeached by Wei Zheng countless times over the years, and had long since forged a grudge. As soon as Wei Zheng died, he graciously went to the house to burn incense and offer condolences.
, since I haven’t died yet...it’s okay not to go.
Wang Jing straightened up and said, "Please forgive me for sending you off so far."
Changsun Wuji smiled, nodded, turned and left.
Everyone in the hall quickly stood up and sent Changsun Wuji off with a flurry of words. Even though Changsun Wuji was no longer the most popular person in front of His Majesty, after all, his title and qualifications were there, who dared to ignore the courtesy?
Changsun Wuji smiled, nodded in greeting, and left.
When Changsun Wuji walked away and the hall returned to calm, Xiao Yu smiled and waved to Wang Jingzhi, called to take a seat next to him, and stepped forward...
*****
Liu Ji put on a set of dry clothes, wiped his hands clean with a handkerchief, sat down behind the desk, held the fragrant tea offered by the maid, and took a shallow sip. All the dampness and coldness in his body came out, and he felt very comfortable.
Take a long breath.
It was dark, and candles were already burning in the study.
Just now, I went to the Dou family to express my condolences, and took a small gift. Then I went around the Wei Mansion to visit the seriously ill Wei Zheng. Although my clothes were not soaked after this tour, they were still wet. It was because he was covered in moisture. He was already weak and was afraid that the dampness and cold would get into his body, so he hurried back and changed his clothes.
I thought in my heart that Dou Jing was fine a few days ago and left today. Wei Zheng, as the most critical minister of the dynasty, was running out of gas and was having a hard time. I felt a little sad in my heart.
Even emperors, generals, nobles, and nobles cannot escape the shackles of life, old age, illness, and death. Even if they are in charge of the universe and dominate the world, won't they still end up in the dust?
It's a pity that people in the world are either obsessed with fame or pursuing profit. They spend their lives fighting openly and secretly, fighting to the death. Who can see through this?
Liu Jie couldn't see through it either.
He has never loved money in his life, and his life in the house is simple and even a little difficult, so he doesn't care about it. Money and other stinky things are the dirtiest things in the world. Gold, silver, jewelry, wine and delicacies are just nothing to him. What’s the point of the evil obstacles in front of us?
But he attaches great importance to the words "name" and "power"!
If you have a "famous name", you can leave a name in history and be praised for generations! As the saying goes, "people leave their names when they pass by, and geese leave their photos when they pass by." Since parents are born and raised to go through the world, if they cannot shine in the annals of history, wouldn't they live in vain like those traffickers and lackeys? After this life?
If you have "power", you can point the country to criticize Fang Qiu, use the country to paint a picture, and show your heart to take revenge!
How can a man lose his rights for a day?!
It's a pity that the steps to power are difficult. Although Liu Jie was born in the Liu family of Nanyang, he had no help in the court. If he was shameless, Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song Dynasty, did have a little relationship... but it was eight The pole cannot be hit.
Without the background of a noble family, it was not easy to prosper in the officialdom of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
He has indeed become famous now, but in the final analysis he is still a rootless duckweed. When a strong wind blows, everything will fall into pieces...
Just when he was worried that he had no one to back him up, he saw the butler quickly enter the study and said softly: "The Duke of Song sent someone to deliver a letter..."
Liu Jie was slightly stunned and said hurriedly: "Please come quickly!"
"Here!"
Before he could do it, a middle-aged man in blue cloth followed the housekeeper into the study. He first greeted Liu Jie, and then presented a letter to his wife, respectfully saying: "The master of the house has ordered, please Liu Yushi to read it in person." Bring Liu Yushi’s decision back.”
Liu Jie was suspicious in his heart, but he kept getting close to Xiao Yu, hoping that his ancestors, who had served as officials in the Southern Liang Dynasty established by Xiao's ancestors, would help him more, but Xiao Yu always remained distant and noncommittal.
Why did you send yourself a letter for the first time today?
Opening the letter and reading ten lines at a glance, Liu Ji narrowed his eyes slightly...
After pondering for a while, he said: "In reply to Song Guogong, let me tell you that the lower officials already know about it and will definitely cooperate with Song Guogong. Please just ask him to worry about it."
"Here."
The man bowed and saluted, turned around and left.
Liu Ji read the letter in his hand again, raised his hand and brought the letter close to the candlelight. A flame curled up on the letter paper, and in a moment, the letter paper was burned to the ground and turned into ashes.
Liu Jie raised his head and stood up and said: "Come here, study some ink, someone wants to write a memorial!"
