The whole world is a stage, and all men and women are just actors...
Fang Jun couldn't remember who said this, but he was deeply impressed by its insight.
There will never be pure people in this world, unless they are fools.
The difference is whether you are being yourself or acting yourself...
For example, the Wei family members are crying and crying in front of them. How many of them are in agony, how many of them are only paying lip service to the story, and how many of them are even secretly happy in their hearts because some abacus has succeeded?
Fang Jun, who was standing behind the crowd, was in a daze when he was stabbed by someone beside him. He looked up and saw that it was King Wu Li Ke. Looking behind Li Ke again, there were several adults including King Li You of Qi, King Li Yun of Jiang, King Li Zhen of Yan, etc.
All the princes followed His Majesty Li Er to express their condolences.
Li Ke had no expression on his face and said softly: "Don't look at me, my father is calling you."
Fang Jun looked forward and saw His Majesty Li Er looking at him with his hands behind his back and a frown on his face, with a vaguely unhappy look on his face. Everyone in the room was also looking at him.
I was shocked in my heart. I just lost my mind and didn't hear the emperor's words. But who can hear the crying in the room...
He quickly stepped forward, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, why do you call me?"
Fang Xuanling on the side gave him a fierce look.
His Majesty Li Er looked calm and asked calmly: "How can you be distracted in such a sad and solemn place?"
Fang Jun's mind was racing, and he knew that the emperor must be in a bad mood at the moment, and he would not get any good results if he was annoyed, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just have some feelings in my heart. I miss the past friendship with Duke Wei, and I feel sad for a moment."
, a little dazed."
Trance and mind wandering have the same meaning, but the effect is quite different if the sentence "reminiscing about the past makes me sad" is added in front of it.
Anyway, if I kill him, I won’t say that I am just wondering whether you are sad or happy that Wei Zheng is dead...
His Majesty Li Er's face softened a little, and he nodded and said: "It's rare that you have the intention. The Duke of Wei has been honest and upright throughout his life, and he has been a model for the officials of the Tang Dynasty and a model for officials throughout the ages. You will be the one to draft and write this inscription."
On the stone, Wei Gong's uprightness and uprightness can be passed down to future generations and his name will go down in history."
The ministers in the mourning hall immediately looked sideways, looking at the young and outrageous Fang Jun, and naturally they could not help but feel all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
It is a very honorable thing to write an inscription for a famous minister. The more famous the minister, the better. When future generations remember this famous minister, they will often check his inscription as soon as possible, because this is the life of this person.
The essence of the deeds, and the person who wrote the inscription will naturally receive attention.
In the past, every time a minister in the court passed away, writing an inscription was usually the business of literary giants such as Ouyang Xun and Chu Suiliang. Now Fang Jun suddenly comes up, which makes people feel very uncomfortable...
But it's just uncomfortable, and not many people are truly dissatisfied.
Who doesn’t know that Fang Erlang was a man of unparalleled learning but unparalleled talent, and was known as the greatest poet in the Tang Dynasty?
I can’t help but feel dissatisfied if I put each piece of work there.
Others were eager for this job, but Fang Jun felt bitter...
He can write an inscription on Mao!
Just looking at the obscure words and phrases quoted from classics on various inscriptions, Fang Jun felt dizzy for a while. He had just read half of "The Great Learning"...
But in full view of the public, His Majesty Li Er spoke so eloquently, could he say that he was incompetent?
That won't work!
Even if he really can't do it, can that man say he can't do it?
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "I obey the order."
Historically, the inscription on Wei Zheng's monument was written by His Majesty Li Er himself, but within a few days he smashed Wei Zheng's monument with his own hands... I think His Majesty Li Er was probably putting on a show at that time, letting everyone see how much he valued Wei Zheng. , and then smashing Wei Zheng's monument will make people feel that I didn't mean it, I have done my best, this old guy has gone too far...
Now that I am left to write the inscription, I must have no idea of smashing the monument in a few days.
The monarch and his ministers get along well with each other, starting well and ending well. Without the manuscripts that Wei Zheng left to Chu Suiliang that exposed His Majesty Li Er's deeds, His Majesty Li Er was still willing to treat the dead Wei Zheng kindly...
Let’s talk about it first. With Wei Zheng’s status, the standard of the inscription must be much higher than the ordinary inscription. Otherwise, we will be sorry for this “Eternal Mirror”, and ordinary people really can’t write it. It’s really impossible to go home and ask for help. If you ask the old man to write for you, the worst he can do is get a lesson and a retouching fee...
*****
In the afternoon, more and more people came to express their condolences at the Wei Mansion.
His Majesty Li Er stayed for a while and then left to return to the palace, leaving King Wu and several other sons behind. Later, he sent the prince and King Wei over. This kind of attention was regarded as "proud and generous", which was enough to show Wei Zheng's mourning and honor after his death. .
The princes just represent the face of His Majesty and the royal family, which is considered the highest treatment nowadays. His Majesty Li Er's intention is for them to guard Wei Zheng's grave, but in fact they only need to sit there. Who in the Wei family has no brains? Dare you dare to let several princes go to the funeral to smoke and burn?
As long as a few people are here, the Wei family will feel the emperor's intentions and will not counterattack but will find out Wei Zheng's many disrespectful ways towards the emperor in the past. This is enough.
Fang Xuanling stayed for a while, felt unwell, and returned to the house, asking Fang Jun to stay here to help.
Several princes gathered together in the east side hall to chat, and the prince called Fang Jun over...
Jiang Wang Li Yun was now very afraid of Fang Jun and was always afraid that Fang Jun would take out his anger on him. When he saw Fang Jun approaching, he quickly gave up his seat and sat obediently in the back, far away from Fang Jun. Far away...
King Wei Li Tai frowned and glanced at Li Yun displeasedly, making the latter shrink his neck in fright. Li Yun knew that these two people were not easy to deal with. He had fought in the Jin Palace two days ago, and he only hoped that his presence would be restored. Keep it low and don't get involved with these two people.
Fang Jun naturally saw the expression on King Wei's face, sat down on the chair given by Li Yun, and said: "His Royal Highness King Wei is indeed so majestic, even his own brother looks like a cat when he sees you, you are really promising! "
"How outrageous! How dare you compare me to a cat and put the royal family in your eyes?"
King Li Tai of Wei snorted coldly and retorted.
Anyway, he got angry when he saw Fang Jun. He was really like a mouse and a cat, and would never pee in a pot...
Fang Jun was not angry and said: "I don't care, what can you do to me? If you have the ability, go and complain before His Majesty, that's all you can do!"
King Wei almost fell down in anger, but was speechless.
Of course, it is impossible to file a complaint. With Fang Jun's current level of favor, his father would definitely laugh it off. How could he be punished?
But to find a place elsewhere, I really felt a little guilty and couldn't do it...
The prince on the side quickly tried to smooth things over: "Can't you two just calm down? Mr. Wei is still in mourning. If you two get into trouble, be careful that your father will be angry later and I won't spare you!"
There is a funeral in the Wei Mansion, but you bastards are shaking things up. Do you really think His Majesty Li Er doesn't have cramps and peeling off his skin?
Just as he was talking, there was a faint cry from the other side of the mourning hall, "Dong Zhao Guo has come to express his condolences." It must be Changsun Wuji who came.
After a while, Changsun Wuji, who was short, fat, round and fair-faced, walked into the side hall accompanied by Wei Shuyu.
When the prince and others saw this, they quickly stood up and saluted, calling him "uncle".
Changsun Wuji also came forward to greet him, and then sat down together.
The princes have different expressions...
The prince Li Chengqian had no favorable impression of his eldest son Wuji. This uncle, who was the closest to him, had always been alienated from him, and he constantly encouraged the kings of Wei and Jin to compete for the position of crown prince. This is also the temperament of the prince.
Wen Hou, if it were someone like Yang Guang, he would have to go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife...
King Li Tai of Wei also complained a lot about Changsun Wuji.
This person originally supported him in his fight for the throne, but in the blink of an eye he went to support King Jin... If you support him, support him. His stance is different, so what can you do? But if he directly supports King Jin until he is surrounded by his father, then this is
No wonder King Wei complained.
Among the brothers, Zhinu was the youngest. He was only eight years old when his mother died. He cried loudly with Sizi and Xiaoyao, and won the pity and love of his brothers.
How could the King of Wei not blame Changsun Wuji?
As for King Li You of Qi and King Li Yun of Jiang... they are not their uncles anyway, so they just need to stay away after seeing him. This yin man has a yin energy about him, which will make him extremely unhappy when people get close to him.
Changsun Wuji also felt the alienation of several nephews. There was no emotion or anger on his face. He just sat down for a while and then stood up and said: "I still have important matters to deal with at home. Your Highnesses will stay here for a while. I will go first."
Leave."
Everyone is unhappy that he is here.
Several princes stood up to send them off. Fang Jun was forced to stand up reluctantly due to etiquette. He casually cupped his hands and said, "Slow down." Unexpectedly, the eldest son, Sun Wuji, actually turned his head and stared at Fang Jun.
After looking at it, he remembered the words on Zhongnan Mountain that made him toss and turn. Although he knew it was not a good thing, he still couldn't understand its meaning. Then he raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Fang Erlang, please don't move around here. I'll go buy some oranges later."
."
No matter what it means, it’s right to give you the original words, right?
Fang Jun: "..."
Hehe, is this old guy trying to learn now and sell it now?
It's just that no matter how smart you are, you will never understand this trick. At this moment, you are just giving it back to us.
Fang Jun smiled and said politely: "I will only eat two, and I will give you the rest..."
