Chapter 1907: You, Fang Xuanling, are just a flatterer
The more Li Yuanjing thought about it, the more he felt that his suspicion might be true, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became...
What if Fang Jun really knows his plot?
If you think about it carefully, it is impossible for Fang Jun to have any evidence, but the lack of evidence does not mean that you can sit back and relax. At present, Fang Jun is a popular person in front of the emperor. He is so popular that the emperor has great trust in him.
Plus, once you mutter something in front of the emperor...
Does the emperor trust his brother or his son-in-law?
If it were the other son-in-law, Li Yuanjing might still have the confidence to compete with the Holy Family, but Fang Jun...
Li Yuanjing's heart became more and more confused.
what to do?
Chai Lingwu looked at Li Yuanjing's pale face and panic, and wondered, "What's going on, uncle? But what happened? If I can be of use to you, it doesn't matter, I'm willing to work for the emperor."
Uncle serves."
When Chai Shao was alive, he had been close to Li Yuanjing since childhood. When Princess Pingyang died of illness, Emperor Gaozu became angry with Chai Shao and ignored her. Chai Shao felt depressed and spent all day eating, drinking and having fun without paying attention to business.
Playing with Li Yuanjing more and more.
Because of this relationship, after Chai Shao's death, Li Yuanjing took great care of Chai Lingwu's brother and had a close relationship, and Chai Lingwu followed Li Yuanjing's advice.
Li Yuanjing naturally trusted Chai Lingwu. Thinking of the hatred between him and Fang Jun, he narrowed his eyes and an idea emerged in his mind.
*****
Fangfu.
Originally, the family, ranging from Fang Xuanling and his wife to Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang, had been living in Lishan Farm for two months. However, this morning they heard the news that Fang Jun had returned to Chang'an, so they all set off and moved back to the mansion from the farm.
.
There were dozens of servants accompanying him, and they filed into the city in large vehicles, making the streets of Chongrenfang very lively with cars and horses.
When Fang Xuanling and his wife returned to the bedroom, Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang took their two sons and settled down in the backyard. Fang Jun happened to come back from the palace...
As soon as Fang Jun entered the house, the servants and maids came out to greet him and stood on both sides to salute him.
Nowadays, the pillar of the Fang family has been smoothly handed over from Fang Xuanling to Fang Jun. The influence of the Fang family in the court has not weakened at all because of Fang Xuanling's appointment. On the contrary, it is because the father and son are completely different.
His character made the Fang family more prominent.
Fang Xuanling is a gentle gentleman, who behaves in a low-key manner, is not good at specializing in business, and "makes mistakes with skirts". Many times, he actually suffers a lot of hidden losses. It's just because of his personality that he never cares about these gains and losses.
But Fang Jun is completely different.
This young man, who rose up like a comet in the Chang'an officialdom, is arrogant and domineering. Anyone who offends me will be repaid tenfold. His unyielding character makes everyone in Guanzhong fearful. Who dares to let him suffer? In addition to economics,
Tao is unparalleled in the world. In just a few years, he has earned enough wealth to rival the country. As he grows older, his power becomes stronger and his prestige increases dramatically.
In the past, Fang Jun could also be revered by the servants and maids in his family. This was because of his literary name as the "Master of Poetry". Who would not be honored to have such a talented person who ranked first in the Tang Dynasty in his family?
However, in the face of real power, no matter how high your literary reputation is, it is not worth mentioning!
What a literary name brings is glory, but what power brings are real benefits...
Nowadays, the elderly people in the mansion may be more casual and tell some jokes in front of Fang Xuanling, and Fang Xuanling often laughs them off and is kind and friendly.
But who dares to be careless and impolite in front of Fang Jun?
Fang Jun didn't think too much. He smiled and nodded to the servants and maids, and then went straight to the main hall. Fang Xuanling and his wife had already taken their seats. When Fang Jun came closer, he knelt on the ground and said: "My child has been ordered by the emperor to stay away from home."
OK, now that I have returned safely, I would like to say hello to my father and mother. I only wish them good health and everything goes well."
Fang Xuanling said casually: "Get up."
"Here!"
Fang Jun responded. As soon as he stood up, his mother, Lu, pulled him over. He looked up and down and complained: "You kid, you are really seeking death. His Majesty sent you to that ghost country."
, you just need to run your errands properly, why bother going to Japan to bother yourself? Not to mention that, you also turned Silla upside down and kidnapped the queen... You bastard
, you won’t give up until you scare your mother to death, right?”
Listening to his mother's nagging complaints and scoldings, Fang Jun's heart felt not at all impatient, but rather filled with warmth.
The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles. However, in the heart of her son, having such a mother who is always thinking about her is not the greatest happiness in the world.
Fang Jun lowered his eyebrows and changed his image of being arrogant and domineering in the eyes of the outside world. He was as obedient as a rabbit and said: "Yes, yes, my mother has taught me that my son will never dare to act so wantonly again. Whatever my mother says, my son will do it."
do what……"
Mrs. Lu was naturally very satisfied with her well-behaved son. She patted Fang Jun's arm and warned: "You have already made a lot of achievements now, but given your age, no matter how much His Majesty uses him, is it possible that he can still let you?"
If you join the cabinet and worship the prime minister, will you be able to rule the world? So, you can just go about your life honestly and steadily. When you get older, your qualifications will naturally increase. When the old immortals in the court
Everything is finished. When the time comes to determine seniority, who will dare to be ranked in front of you? His Highness the Crown Prince will not agree to it!"
It has to be said that even though the Lu family is just a woman and has never seen much of the world, she is born in the Lu family of Fanyang, has a good family background, and has been around Fang Xuanling for many years, so she naturally knows the rules of the court.
bright.
As he said, at Fang Jun's current age, this official position and title have come to an end. Even if he has great achievements, he will not be able to continue to be promoted to the title. Instead, it will give the emperor a feeling of "no title, no reward."
The worry about "rewardable" is deeply inappropriate.
All you need to do is hang around and get the qualifications, and when the prince ascends the throne, everything will fall into place...
Fang Jun quickly nodded in agreement.
Fang Xuanling frowned at the side and said displeasedly: "What do women know about this? Please remember not to discuss matters in court in the future!"
But what Lu said was a bit abrupt.
The emperor is on the throne, the Spring and Autumn Period is at its peak, but you say what will happen to the prince in the future... If there is a petty and mean emperor, or if it takes a few hundred years, this sentence alone can cure the crime of "great disrespect".
The whole family suffered.
The truth is indeed this: when you are busy at home, you should not discuss the government affairs indiscriminately, so as not to cause trouble from your mouth. Even if you are a generous man today and will not get angry because of a few comments in private, you still have to avoid some taboos, right?
It can also be regarded as respect for the emperor.
But when did Mr. Lu talk to Fang Xuanling?
The whole world regards it as a natural thing for men to take concubines, but the Lu family does not allow Fang Xuanling to take concubines!
In this regard, Lu's perfectly fits the criteria of the "imperialist" envelope. Whoever is strong is the right one!
"What's the matter, am I right? We have your influence in our family, and Erlang himself has talent and meritorious deeds. It's enough to live a simple life, why do we have to go across the ocean to fight? No matter how great the merits are, there is no wife.
It’s better to live a mediocre life!”
Mr. Lu is fierce and righteous, and his speech is strict.
But as a mother, there was absolutely nothing wrong with saying this, and it made Fang Xuanling choke up...
Fang Xuanling said angrily: "A real man has ambitions in all directions, how can you be like a silverfish and wait to die? This is something that a good man of our generation would despise!"
When it came to quarreling, Mrs. Lu was really not afraid of anyone, so she immediately retorted: "To put it nicely, your whole life has just been to flatter the emperor, serve the emperor comfortably, and then get promoted to a higher rank along the way? What is your ambition?
Quartet, why don’t you unite your troops outside the territory to fight alongside Duke Wei and sweep across the Turks? Why don’t you, such a good man, lead your army south to join forces with the prince of Hejian County to pacify Xiao Xian and subdue the mountain officials?”
Fang Xuanling said angrily: "I am the prime minister of a country, so naturally I have to sit at the center and make arrangements calmly. Do you think that I don't have a share in the achievements of Duke Wei and the princes of Hejian County? Otherwise, you think that I am this
Where does Liang Guogong’s title come from?”
Lu sneered: "Haha, of course you got it by flattering others. Otherwise, why would Duke Wei have to stay in the palace to clip his wings, and the prince of Hejian County had to eat, drink and have fun to slander his reputation? But it's you, your majesty, who even married his beloved concubine.
Are you willing to give it to you?"
In front of outsiders, Mrs. Lu would naturally protect Fang Xuanling's face, but in front of her own son, when she was teaching her son how to recharge his batteries and goof off, Fang Xuanling's face... what was that?
