Autumn is getting stronger and stronger, the leaves on the trees are falling one after another, and the temperature is getting cooler.
As people get older, their muscles and bones will inevitably decay and their functions will deteriorate, and they cannot stand the cold. If the winter is not bad, they can build a fire pit dragon early to keep the house warm, and wear a tiger or mink fur or something that has recently appeared on the market.
Those cotton-padded clothes made of snow-white cotton will not be afraid of the cold weather as long as you lie down in the room and don't go out.
But this time when autumn is gradually passing and winter has not yet arrived, it is the most difficult time.
In autumn, when things are dry and the weather is dry, the elderly already suffer from stagnation of anger. If they put on cotton-padded clothes and burn the earth dragon, they will inevitably become even more angry...
In the side hall of Zhao Guogong's mansion, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and there was a "rattle" sound in the room.
Changsun Wuji, a round-faced and fat man in regular clothes, was sitting at the side of the square table, playing mahjong with three old men...
All four of them had a low table with teapots and snacks on it, as well as a small pile of money notes issued by the Royal Bank.
Since Fang Jun invented mahjong, it has become popular in Guanzhong and has become a recreational toy suitable for people of all ages...
The old man sitting under Changsun Wuji had gray eyebrows and a thin, long and ugly face. He played a mahjong tile made of ivory and said: "One tube! When I just came here, I heard that the guy from the second room
Was he beaten by the emperor again?"
"Bang! Three..." A fat old man opposite stretched out his hand and shouted, took back a tube, punched out one, and continued: "It is said that for some reason this guy made His Majesty furious, and even tried to kill him with a sword.
Fortunately, Princess Changle and Princess Jinyang arrived and saved the man from being killed. These two princesses were all closely related to Fang Er. With them protecting him, how could His Majesty kill Fang Er?
?I heard that in the end it was just a few symbolic slaps and the matter was settled."
There was a sudden silence on the card table...
The scandal between Princess Changle and Fang Jun has long been aroused. Although there has never been evidence to prove that the two had an affair, the existence of an affair between the two is still public. However, the current social atmosphere is open, and Princess Changle is very
We were once married, and the rumors that such words were just for everyone to talk about after dinner, no one took them seriously.
But it’s okay for others not to take it seriously. There is Changsun Wuji at the poker table...
How could Changsun Wuji be embarrassed by openly talking about his daughter-in-law's affair with another man in front of Changsun Wuji?
The fat and white old man seemed to be a little hesitant when he spoke. He knew it was inappropriate before he said it. He glanced at Changsun Wuji, whose old face was so gloomy that he was about to drip with tears. He was embarrassed and worried: "This...
…The old man talks freely, don’t blame Zhao Guogong, don’t blame him…”
Changsun Wuji resisted the urge to lift the card table, drooped his eyelids, and said angrily: "If you don't want to hold back, just stop talking and play cards!"
This old man's name was Dou Dan, and he was born in the Dou family of Henan. His father, Dou Kang, was the brother of His Majesty Li Er's biological mother, Queen Taimu, and a relative of Zheng Er Ba Jing.
However, this old man was not as wise as his father. Although he was married to Princess Xiangyang, the daughter of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, and was granted the title of Zong Zhengqing, His Majesty Li Er was confused and wrong every time he talked to him, which made His Majesty Li Er very angry.
Annoyed, he issued an edict saying: "Dou Dan has recently become old and unable to do things. I know that but appoint him. This is called ignorance. Besides, if you choose people for officials, the country will be governed, and if you choose officials for people, the world will be in chaos. Let Dou Dan use the light
Dr. Lu is suspended from duty and goes home."
When I said this, Dou Dan was not yet sixty. His legs and feet were light and his body was strong. How could he have aged?
It's just that this person is really stupid and incompetent. Everyone respects him just because he has a good family background. How can Changsun Wuji care about this kind of people?
Not only can't you care about it, but you also have to get used to it. Who is to say that this old guy is one of the few remaining elders of the Dou family?
The Dou family went all out to support their great ancestor Li Yuan in establishing the country, and later secretly helped His Majesty Li Er to usurp the throne and made great contributions. Even though Empress Taimu has passed away, His Majesty Li Er was very tolerant of the Dou family, which also made Dou
His influence has not completely dissipated...
This is the case in the court. All forces that can be united are united to fight against the enemy. Personal preferences for good and evil are always insignificant.
No matter how annoying it is, I can only endure it.
Dou Dan probably knew what was wrong with him. When he saw that he had said something wrong, he felt uneasy and did not dare to say anything more. Although Changsun Wuji didn't seem to mind on his face, this "yin man" always had a habit of hiding knives in his smile. Who knows if it was on his face?
He was smiling, but in his heart he was thinking about how to harm himself?
Naturally, he couldn't play cards because he was restless. In addition, this person didn't have a bright mind, so he played randomly and fired off firecrackers frequently. In a short time, he lost all the thousands of dollars he had brought...
"If I don't fight anymore, if I get older and my eyesight is bad and my thinking is unclear, wouldn't it be the same as giving you money? Alas..."
Dou Dan sighed, pushed the mahjong tiles, and stopped playing at all.
The rest of the people were fine, they were just here to have fun, and they were not addicted. When they saw that Dou Dan was no longer playing, they each got up and sat in front of the desk in front of the window with teapots in their hands, drinking tea lingeringly.
Pick up some interesting things in the court and chat.
There is also a pale old man who has never spoken, it is Yuwen Shiji...
A few people were sitting comfortably, and the old man with a gray beard and a thin and long face held a teapot and said: "I heard that Fang Jun will go south to Huating Town in the next few days to command the navy that will go to sea to conquer Goguryeo. Everyone is at home in the south of the Yangtze River.
The industry should also be more restrained and be more careful."
Changsun Wuji snorted and said: "That boy is obviously building a plank road in secret to visit Chencang. He so arrogantly said that he was going to sea to destroy the Goguryeo navy. How could the government and the public not have Goguryeo spies working carefully? I'm afraid that the news has already been known by now.
According to the report, the Goguryeo navy must have disappeared and cannot be found. Fang Jun's mission to destroy the Goguryeo navy was a lie. The real purpose must be the increasingly rampant smuggling in the South China Sea."
Dou Dan was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Then we should inform the Duke of Song immediately. I heard from a family member that the smuggling fleet on the East China Sea and the South China Sea is becoming more and more rampant. After Fang Jun returned to Beijing, Su Dingfang and others seemed not to be able to manage it well."
Strictly, if Fang Jun suddenly kills him this time, I'm afraid those Jiangnan nobles will suffer heavy losses."
Yu Wenshiji, who had never spoken a word, said calmly: "Even so, what does it have to do with us?"
"Uh..." Dou Dan blinked, a little confused.
Yuwen Shiji said no more.
Among the people here, if we talk about the depth of grievances and grievances with the Jiangnan gentry, no one is more serious than Yuwen Shiji.
His eldest brother Yu Wenhua and Yu Jiangdu forced Emperor Sui Yang to death. He had a chance to succeed to the throne and become emperor, but he was blocked by the Jiangnan nobles in every possible way. In the end, due to lack of food and grass, he was defeated by Yuan Baobao and Li Shentong. Finally,
He was even captured alive by Dou Jiande and ended up with his body and head missing.
In order to please the Huns, Dou Jiande sent Yu Wenhuaji's head to Princess Yicheng of the Turks, and it was hung in front of the king's tent...
It can be said that if there were no constraints from the Jiangnan gentry, Yu Wenhuaji might really have a chance to unify Yu.
Even if Yu Wenshi and this person don't have much ambition, how can they not be happy to see Fang Jun go to Jiangnan to deal with those greedy nobles despite the family blood feud?
I will definitely not remind you. It would be kind to not go home and set off firecrackers...
Changsun Wuji shook his head and sighed: "Even if it's a reminder, what's the use? Song Guogong returned south to Jiangling this time. He said he was going to worship his ancestors, but in fact he must have gone to restrain his clan members, and he was killed by Fang Jun. But forget it.
What's the use of his return to Jiangnan? Those Jiangnan nobles have already been dazzled by the violence of smuggling, and they will take risks even in the face of swords, mountains and seas of fire. It is impossible for him, Xiao Yu, to control him. In fact, it seems now that the Royal Navy is
For the past year, I have mostly turned a blind eye to the smuggling. It cannot be said that this is Fang Jun's treacherous plan, in order to allow the Jiangnan nobles to relax their vigilance and get deeper into trouble. Only when the time comes to clean up, can it be justified..."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth. Otherwise, given Fang Jun's control over the Royal Navy and his aversion to smuggling, how could Su Dingfang and others condone smuggling so much that even the noble families in Guanzhong could not restrain themselves from sending their tribesmen south?
Steal this mouthful of fat?
It is said that his eldest son, Sun Wuji, is a "shady person", but Fang Jun is so sinister as a stick, he is no less generous...
Yu Wenshi said: "The tribesmen who are restrained in Jiangnan must not get involved with those Jiangnan nobles, otherwise they may be affected."
Yang Xu said calmly: "Brother, don't worry too much. Although Fang Jun is a stick, he is not a fool. If he wants to clean up the Jiangnan nobles, he must appease us. Otherwise, if all the noble families are to be brought together when the Eastern Expedition is about to begin,
If he is provoked, it will inevitably destabilize the situation in the DPRK, and the gains outweigh the losses."
