Fang Jun tripped and almost fell on the steps in front of his house.
Mother!
Is this idiot determined?
Early the next morning, Fang Jun had just woken up. Before he could wash up, a servant came to report that the prince-in-law, the Duke of Wu'an, and the right-wing general Xue Wanche had come to visit.
Fang Jun: "..."
In a hurry, I came to the front hall and saw Xue Wanche, wearing an official robe and wearing a golden sword, sitting on a chair, chatting and laughing with Fang Xuanling.
"... When Dou Jiande attacked Youzhou, I was under the command of Luo Yi, King of Yan. At that time, Dou Jiande's hundreds of thousands of troops were pressing down on the territory. Our army was outnumbered. If we attacked rashly, we would definitely be defeated in every battle. We should use tactics to win. I ordered the weak soldiers to be weak.
The horses blocked the water and backed the city into a formation to lure them. Watching the thieves' momentum, we must cross the water to fight. Therefore, my brother and I asked the King of Yan to ask a hundred elite cavalry to lie down on the side of the city and wait until they were halfway across to attack them. We defeated tens of thousands of thieves and killed them.
They had to lay down corpses and block the river, so that the water was dyed red..."
Xue Wanche was bragging that he had defeated Dou Jiande's great achievements under the command of King Luo Yi of Yan. Fang Xuanling smiled and stroked his beard without saying a word, seeming to be listening with interest. He just caught a glimpse of Fang Jun coming in a hurry, and he raised his eyebrows, which means:
What's going on with this big guy coming to see you so early in the morning?
Fang Jun put his hand on his forehead and waved gently: How did I know?
He took two steps forward and saluted: "It turns out that the general is here to visit my humble home. My beloved has not been far away to greet me. Please forgive me for my sins."
Xue Wanche looked back at him, waved his hands carelessly, and said, "What's so forgivable about this? Erlang, please be busy, I had a very pleasant chat with my roommate, and I'll see you later."
Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Mr. Wu'an must have something to do with Erlang? Then you guys can chat for a while. I have nothing to do all day long. If I have the opportunity, I will sit down and drink with Duke Wu'an and have a good chat."
Even though he was a wealthy man, he still felt stiff-faced and uncomfortable being pestered by this bastard Xue Wanche to brag about old things. When he saw his son coming, how could he not get away quickly?
Xue Wanche stood up quickly and said: "Today I have something to do with Erlang, so I will come to visit the Prime Minister another day."
Fang Xuanling smiled and nodded, and Shi Shiran left.
As soon as he left, Xue Wanche seemed to have been paralyzed. He fell back on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief. He said: "Your Majesty is one of the few people I admire. If he hadn't suppressed Changsun Wuji so hard these years,
That sinister man, I don’t know how much he has made waves... No, even if your father has become an official, as long as he has a breath, no one in the court dares to ignore him. Even if Changsun Wuji has the power to reach the sky,
You have to hold back your ability! Unless your father dies before him, otherwise, he will have to live in the shadow of your father after he has been guilty of this and that all his life!"
Fang Jun stared at him with an unhappy look on his face.
This is a compliment, and it does have some insight. In fact, when Fang Xuanling was alive, the government was stable and the officials were dormant. He seemed to be a good old man, but in fact, who wouldn't be afraid of the emperor's humerus? When Fang Xuanling
After his death, all the demons and monsters came out. One day he was easy to save, and the next he was plotting rebellion. Until His Majesty Li Er was tortured to death, most of the famous ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty had been lost.
Otherwise, why would Wu Zhou usurp the throne?
Without Wu Zhou usurping the throne, there would have been no Li Tang clan, all the famous officials in Zhenguan would have been slaughtered, there would have been no change in the Tang Dynasty's foreign policy from offensive to defensive, there would have been no rise of the border governors, there would have been no "
"An-Shi Rebellion", there will be no change from the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty to decline. In the end, the empire collapsed and China was in chaos...
To a certain extent, it was Changsun Wuji's dominance that broke the balance between aristocratic families and poor scholars during the Zhenguan period, which led to the strong rise of the Wu Mei Group and finally seized the power of the Tang Dynasty. Wu Zetian was certainly a strong
Many of the characters and political actions were brilliant, and even created the foundation of the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Age", but they also laid the foundation for the political situation of weak military power and weak branches.
If Fang Xuanling could survive a few more years and Changsun Wuji died first, perhaps the history of the Tang Dynasty would be rewritten.
However, why does Xue Wanche's tone of "Your father can do whatever he wants with just one breath" sound so uncomfortable?
"Okay, okay, my father is not here, who can I give those flattery words to?"
Fang Jun interrupted him impatiently. He was very annoyed with this person, but he couldn't just open his mouth and chase him away, right?
"Have you had breakfast?"
Xue Wanche wiped his face and said with a smile: "Why don't you get up and come to the house? I overdid it last night and talked a lot of nonsense, but the part about fooling around with you, Erlang, is the real deal."
Fang Jun sighed and said, "Okay, let's have breakfast first."
After saying that, he asked Xue Wanche to come to the side hall and asked the maid to bring breakfast.
Fang Jun always eats fine food and eats fine dishes, but most of his breakfasts are light. He didn't know that Xue Wanche was coming to visit today, so he didn't make any preparations in advance. They were all ordinary meals in the past, and the cook cooked them in different ways.
It comes out, delicious and easy to digest.
The pretty maid brought the meal, a plate of green celery, lettuce successfully cultivated on farms in the Western Regions, two plates of fried eggs, and several other side dishes. The staple food was a basket of snow-white steamed buns (called in this era
Steamed cake), smooth tofu curd.
Xue Wanche was not polite. He reached out and picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. He picked up a chopstick of crispy vinegar and celery and praised: "It tastes good."
He is a very popular and rough man, but how can he look like a descendant of a noble family or a relative of the emperor?
I really don’t regard myself as an outsider…
After a bowl of tofu went into his stomach, Xue Wanche touched his mouth, put the porcelain bowl on the table, and said to the maid: "Add another bowl!"
The maid hurriedly went to serve it again, but was stopped by Xue Wanche and asked: "Is there any icing sugar?"
The maid was stunned and said: "Of course there is."
Xue Wanche said: "Bring some. I have heard that tofu curd and sugar are added to it. It is a newly developed way of eating in Fujian and Guangdong. It tastes good. I will give it a try today."
"Here!"
The maid quickly got up and wanted to go back to the kitchen to get the icing sugar.
Fang Jun was shocked and shouted: "Wait a minute!"
After the maid stopped drinking, she frowned and stared at Xue Wanche, saying: "A good tofu puff, add a little braised sauce and it will be extremely delicious. Why do you need to add sugar?"
Sweeties are all heretics!
It's just that this heresy is developing too fast. Two days ago, I stopped Jiang Guhu from eating sweet tofu nao. I thought it was just one or two people who did it accidentally, but unexpectedly it has become popular?
It is unbearable!
Xue Wanche was stunned: "Sweet and salty, what does it matter?"
Fang Jun said flatly: "It's okay if I can't see you. If you see someone eating sweet tofu, I'll beat him out with a stick!"
Xue Wanche was completely incomprehensible and said angrily: "You are a stick! You are in charge of heaven and earth, but you still care whether the tofu is sweet or salty?"
"My family only has salty food. Do you want to eat it? If you like it, eat it. If you don't like it, you can leave without giving it away!"
"My...mother!"
Xue Wanche was furious, but had no choice but to add a bowl of tofu curd and pour salty braised sauce on it.
Fang Jun suddenly felt refreshed...
*****
After breakfast, Fang Jun put on a suit of armor and left the house.
Xue Wanche followed closely...
When he reached the gate, Fang Jun had no choice but to say: "I am going to inspect the Youtun Guards. The general is busy with military affairs. Is there nothing to do?"
Xue Wanche said carelessly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Although I am not very smart in studying, I still understand that a man can't follow his words. I said I'll hang out with you, and I'll hang out with you. I'll go wherever you go!"
Fang Jun: "..."
Are you going to drive me away or not?!
Come on, if you don't want to go, don't go. There's nothing you can do about it with a fool.
Fang Jun had no choice but to jump on his horse, lead a group of soldiers out of the palace in a mighty manner, and gallop down the long street. Xue Wanche was also among them, constantly increasing the speed of his horse, because he was worried about being counterattacked by the emperor. In recent years,
Xue Wanche kept his tail between his legs. He had not experienced the pleasure of riding a horse in a long street for a long time. He was very happy at the moment and felt that it was a good idea to hang out with Fang Jun.
The two men in this house are very powerful, and the powerful Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War is much more effective than this empty-headed general. In addition, he has strong backers and a good reputation, and everyone in Jingzhao Mansion is his old subordinate, even if he is facing someone on the street.
When they encountered this, the government officers and patrolmen also turned their heads and turned a blind eye to such arrogant behavior that obviously violated the law...
Go east along Tianjie, go all the way north on the long street on the west side of Chongrenfang, exit from Xing'an Gate in the northeast corner of the imperial city, and you will reach the West Inner Garden. After a while of galloping, you will arrive at the Xuanwu Gate, the north gate of the palace city.
Youtunwei Station.
As soon as they arrived outside the camp gate, they saw a lot of noise at the camp gate. Many soldiers gathered around and argued endlessly. Some even pushed and pushed each other, making it extremely chaotic.
