King Li Yuanjing of Jing was the sixth son of the great ancestor Li Yuan, and his mother was Mo Guipin, the half-brother of His Majesty Li Er. In the early years of Zhenguan, he moved to Yongzhou as a pastoralist, and General You Xiaowei was appointed King of Jing in the tenth year of Zhenguan.
He was awarded the title of Governor of Jingzhou.
A first-class nobleman from the Tian family.
But...asking for marriage? What kind of marriage?
As far as Fang Jun knew, although Li Yuanjing didn't have any children yet, he was quite old and had several daughters. Who did he come to Fang's house to ask for his son for no reason?
Princess Jinyang's clear and melodious voice sounded: "Uncle King Jing wants to propose marriage to the princess of his family. It is said that he has taken a fancy to the legacy."
Fang Jun suddenly realized it, but then his heart started to think again.
Did Fang Yize in history marry the daughter of King Li Yuanjing of Jing? Fang Jun didn’t know.
But in the sensational "Fang Yiai rebellion case", Fang Yiai, Princess Gaoyang and others wanted to depose Li Zhi after the death of His Majesty Li Er, and the emperor they wanted to support was King Jing Li Yuanjing. So,
Could it be that the two families were originally in-laws, so Fang Yi, who loved a princess from Gaoyang, took risks because he could gain greater benefits?
Fang Jun felt a little nauseous. His Royal Highness King Jing was a huge hidden danger, and he should definitely be kept at a distance.
Furthermore, the man proposes marriage to the woman on his own initiative. When did a woman go to her home in the south to propose marriage? Even among the people, this kind of thing is very particular, not to mention that King Li Yuanjing of Jing is a royal noble?
This is simply a self-degradation. I am afraid that the entire royal family will complain about Li Yuanjing, and even criticize the Fang family...
Could it be that he is mentally ill?
Hearing that Fang Jun was going to the front hall, the two little girls said goodbye to Fang Jun together, but sparks still flew in their eyes when they occasionally touched.
Yu Mingxue thought that even if you, Fang Jun, were "Three True Virtues and Nine Lies", as long as I wanted to have a child, the secret medicinal wine from Erjia Liang would be able to get you...
Princess Jinyang thought that it would be possible to have children without getting married? And the children would probably be very good.
The little girl rolled her eyes, bit her lip gently, and gave Fang Jun an inexplicable sweet smile and a slender back when she left...
*****
lobby.
When Fang Jun arrived, Fang Xuanling was kneeling on the table with a handsome man in a python robe and jade belt, talking and laughing.
King Li Yuanjing of Jing had a rather good-looking appearance. He was not as square-faced and majestic as His Majesty Li Er, but more like a woman with a fair face and delicate eyebrows. He probably inherited the appearance of his mother, Mo Guifei, and was better than those of the younger generations.
Not to mention too much, he is probably in his thirties, but his smile is clear and his face is handsome, making him look extremely young.
Fang Jun stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and said: "I don't know that Your Highness is here personally, and it is really disrespectful for my subordinates to miss you from afar to greet you. I hope Your Highness will not blame you."
Li Yuanjing actually stood up and lifted Fang Jun up. With a smile on his pretty face, he said politely: "Why blame? Speaking of which, someone was a bad guest and came to the door rudely, which disturbed the prime minister's leisure."
Not only does this person have a good appearance, but his conversation also makes people feel like they are getting close to each other. He does not have the luxury of Tianhuang nobles at all. Of course, even Tianhuang nobles, in front of important ministers of Fang Xuanling's level,
There is not much room for manipulation...
Fang Jun hurriedly said: "His Highness was joking. His Highness came to the door. The humble house was filled with splendor, and the lower official and my father were as proud as ever."
Li Yuanjing laughed loudly, held Fang Jun's arm and asked him to sit beside him, and said with a warm smile: "You are the consort, and you and I are a family member, and the prime minister is your Majesty's humerus. Why should you be so different? You are polite.
There is no need to say anything more, just treat me as a close friend, that’s it.”
It can be said that if it were Fang Yiai in the past, she would have been photographed by the grace of Jing Wang Li Yuanjing, got close to him, and then formed an in-law family. After Fang Xuanling's death, they would have helped each other, relied on each other, and even plotted.
Usurping rebellion and supporting Li Yuanjing to ascend to power.
It's a pity that Fang Jun now knows that period of history very well, and he wants to stay as far away from this guy who has no ambitions and is the son of the late emperor, but is actually powerless. How can he be easily won over by him?
"The legend of Erlang has been circulating in the capital. He can be called a hero of the Tang Dynasty. I have long wanted to make friends with him, but we have always had a close relationship. Today I took the liberty to come to the house. One is for my daughter's marriage, and the other is to invite Erlang and San.
The next day, I will visit Wuluo Temple in Jinchangfang. I will hold a poetry gathering at the temple, inviting scribes from all over the capital and famous actors and actresses to gather friends with poems and pay homage to Wuluo Temple."
Li Yuanjing smiled broadly and expressed his intention.
In his opinion, Fang Jun's poetic talent was innate, and his poems and songs were all unique and unparalleled in the world. It was precisely because of his willingness to use the opportunity of poetry gatherings like these to promote his reputation that he has achieved a reputation in the literary world today.
But after Fang Jun heard about his son's "poetry meeting", he suddenly felt dizzy...
What’s so fun about that thing?
It's nothing more than copying poems and slapping people in the face. We have already surpassed that boring stage, okay...
He declined politely and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. It's just that I have been really busy recently. On the one hand, I have to hand over official duties with the new Jing Zhaoyin, and on the other hand, I have to go to the Ministry of War to take up my post as soon as possible. I am really busy with my time. I hope Your Highness will not blame me."
"Ah, that's it. It's because I have been negligent. Of course, it's official business. If Erlang has time, he can go there. If he really can't get away, then just leave it alone. Don't worry about it."
Li Yuanjing is easy to talk to, but of course the main purpose of his coming today is not this, so he changed the topic, looked at Fang Xuanling, and asked: "I heard that the prime minister and several young masters were all outstanding men of the moment. The eldest son is loyal and loyal."
The second son, Yiai, has an unparalleled literary talent, and the third son, Yize, is even more so, Lin Feng Zhilan. I want to find a match for my little daughter, and form a good relationship with the third son, Yize, of your house. I don’t know what the marriage will be like?"
Fang Jun almost laughed out loud when he heard this...
It is not an exaggeration to say that the eldest brother Fang Yi is loyal and honest, and that his literary talent is peerless... Well, I am possessed by poetry, immortals, ghosts and saints at any time, so I should be worthy of this sentence. As for the third brother Fang Yi's "
"Linfeng Zhilan"...isn't that too far off the mark?
The third child seems to be well-behaved, but in fact he is the most trouble-making. If Fang Xuanling hadn't been there to suppress him, he would have become a playboy a long time ago. Now you actually call him "Linfeng Zhilan"... His Highness King Jing. You don't understand the meaning of this idiom.
, or we don’t know the same Fang Yize?
But he also knew that Fang Yize's character was not something Li Yuanjing needed to consider. What Li Yuanjing cared about was Fang Xuanling, Fang Jun... who was behind Fang Yize.
This is a serious political marriage, just like when His Majesty Li Er married Princess Gaoyang into his own family.
As for whether the generational hierarchy is chaotic or not, that's the next best thing. In fact, it has been chaotic for a long time. His sister married the King of Han Li Yuanjia, and he and Li Yuanjia were brothers-in-law. However, he married Princess Gaoyang and became the King of Han's son again.
Niece-in-law...
The royal family has always been a chaotic group in every dynasty.
What makes Fang Jun a little despised is that His Highness King Jing seems to have an issue that he has not understood: since it is a political marriage, it is natural for each to get what he needs. Now the Fang family has a towering tree like Fang Xuanling, and the eldest sister is Fang Xuanling.
She is the royal concubine of King Li Yuanjia of Han. She is married to Princess Gaoyang. She is already so honored and favored that she is one of the best in the world. Is it necessary for her to marry King Jing again? Although you are a royal nobleman, what can you still do?
What kind of things can’t be obtained by the Fang family?
Supply and demand imbalance.
In Fang Jun's opinion, it was impossible for this marriage to happen.
However, Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said: "I still have a naughty temperament as a young man. How can I have such a blessing to marry the Tian family? I would never dare to have such extravagant thoughts."
Li Yuanjing then smiled and said: "It's a good thing to have a lively personality. Besides, no matter how lively you are, can you be more lively than the Erlang of your family? Haha, at the beginning, Fang Erlang punched the prince and stepped on the powerful, and was arrogant and domineering, but now you see
Look, don’t you become a pillar of the country and be highly valued by your majesty after becoming famous?”
Fang Xuanling smiled: "His stick has caused enough trouble for me..." and then said: "If His Highness really thinks that Quan Ziyi is suitable..."
"Cough cough cough!"
Fang Jun was startled and coughed hurriedly, interrupting his father's words.
What's going on with this dad? Why are you trying to curry favor with King Jing's family for nothing? This guy is a scammer. Don't screw our family! You can't let dad finish what he said, otherwise once dad agrees,
Two words and it's a done deal.
Seeing his father and Li Yuanjing looking at each other, Li Yuanjing even frowned slightly and felt displeased. Fang Jun smiled bitterly and said, "Father, have you forgotten that my mother's family came to visit a few days ago, but someone proposed a marriage to Yi Ze?"
"
What kind of brain does Fang Xuanling have?
Although he didn’t know what his son was planning, out of trust in his son’s ability to handle the affairs of the court, he immediately made a look of surprise: “Oh my, I’m so old and confused, I actually forgot about this...”
