However, if you are born into an ordinary family, it would be a good thing to be less calculating. However, if you are born into an imperial family, every move will inevitably be exaggerated, and even cause people all over the world to interpret it, racking their brains to analyze whether there is a deeper reason.
Meaning.
Under such circumstances, it would not be a good thing for Sizi to blindly defend Fang Jun.
You need to know that although the Sizi has not yet reached the age of hairpin, royal princesses have the rule of getting pregnant early. Generally speaking, it is time to get married at this time. Have you ever seen a young girl younger than the Sizi make a marriage decision?
However, because the mother died early and the Si son was weak and sick, his father pitied and cherished him, so he never proposed marriage.
But now that he has reached his age, there must be many people in the government and the public watching him.
Once they secretly defend Fang Jun and become too close to each other, public opinion will agitate the world and rumors will spread. Not only will the royal family have another unfounded scandal, but it will also affect Si Zi's future marriage.
How can those thousand-year-old families with heirlooms of poems and books tolerate a head wife who spreads rumors with her brother-in-law?
What's especially important is that the father will definitely be furious because of this, so he will naturally not scold Si Zi and keep him under strict supervision, but Fang Jun will definitely suffer...
Thinking of this, Princess Changle felt a little guilty.
Just talk nonsense, Si Zi, even if it hurts Fang Jun, what does it have to do with me?
He quickly picked up the teacup and took another sip.
The jade face is slightly permed.
He said softly: "You are already a grown man, so you have to avoid taboos, otherwise it will not look good on my father's face if the news spreads."
"Eh?"
Princess Jinyang looks cute.
What to avoid?
I plead for my brother-in-law, do I still need to avoid it?
Seeing Princess Jinyang's expression of blankness and confusion, Princess Changle also had a headache, so she could only say: "Didn't you realize that your words are not only useless, but also make your father more angry? In short, regarding Fang Jun's matter, it's better to say less.
Yes, my father is aware of everything and will definitely not accuse him unjustly."
"oh."
Princess Jinyang responded, a little unhappy.
In the past, I often interceded for the ministers who offended my father when he was angry. At that time, I was very articulate and thought clearly. But why did I not say that he was right when it was my brother-in-law's turn? The more he said, the more he was wrong?
What a worry...
*****
Fangfu.
Just after the New Year, His Majesty the Emperor fell seriously ill, so the Fang family did not go to Lishan Farm to live leisurely, but they all stayed in the mansion and lived in seclusion.
Being in an officialdom and having deep entanglements with the royal family, I have to always pay attention to my words and deeds...
In the main hall.
The whole family was present.
Mistress Lu frowned and glared at Fang Xuanling, saying: "Your Majesty sent Erlang to Shuozhou, only to lead the army to suppress the Xue Yantuo people, and to negotiate with Xue Yantuo about the marriage. Why did the Xue Yantuo envoy come directly to Chang'an now?
, but my second son is going to accept the imperial decree and send troops to Mobei?"
Chang'an is such a big place, and there are only a few people who have reached a certain level in the officialdom.
If there is any news going around, as long as it is not too confidential, everyone will know about it as soon as they communicate with each other.
The news of the fake imperial edict has not spread. After all, the true meaning of the matter is open to debate. We have to wait until Fang Jun and Xiao Siye return to Beijing together before we can distinguish right from wrong. Now that Fang Jun has led his army to go straight to the White Road, His Majesty Li Er can only hold on to it.
Nose recognized it, and hoped that Fang Jun would fight this battle well, which would not only eliminate the hidden dangers in northern Xinjiang, but also shock the world, and boost morale for the future Eastern Expedition.
Fang Yizhi heard the news about Youtun Wei's departure from Baidao when he was on duty, and it had already spread throughout the capital. After hearing this, he was frightened and anxious, and hurried back to report to his mother.
At this moment, Mr. Lu was obviously anxious, and Fang Yizhi agreed: "It is freezing cold at this time, and Mobei Daqi is even more desolate, with dripping water turning into ice. Throughout the ages, how could anyone send troops at this season? Your Majesty really regards Erlang as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
Now that he is in command, he expects Erlang to perform a great feat for him, such as sealing the wolf as a slave and slaying Shi Yanran? This is simply going to cost Erlang his life!"
There were a lot of complaints between the words.
Although he has always been unhappy with his younger brother, and it is even more difficult to accept his high-profile and high-profile style of acting, they are still brothers after all. At this moment, Erlang is alone in Mobei, with his life hanging in the balance, how can he not worry about getting angry?
Fang Xuanling sat on the chair, glared at Fang Yizhi, and shouted: "Be careful! Your Majesty has entrusted such an important matter to Erlang. It is an unprecedented trust in Erlang, and it is the glory of our family!"
How could it be possible that instead of being moved by your kindness, you could complain?"
Is it allowed to say such nonsense?
Once the news reached His Majesty's ears, he said that he was "hateful and resentful". He really thought that the Fang family had a gold medal to avoid death!
In fact, he himself is also confused. Although he has become an official and has returned home to be a prosperous person, as the head of the prime minister who has controlled the government for more than ten years, he has many eye spies in the government. As long as he wants to know, every move in the political hall will be revealed.
Can't hide it from his eyes.
However, without any prior news, news suddenly spread that His Majesty the Emperor had sent an order to Erlang, ordering him to lead his army straight out of Baidao and attack Mobei...
Even if the emperor really wanted to do this, why not discuss it with him before suddenly issuing the order?
Quite strange...
In the presence of such an old god like him, Princess Gaoyang, Wu Meiniang, and Xiao Shuer were already pale and trembling slightly.
God!
My man actually ran to Mobei, planning to cross Daqi to attack Xue Yantuo?
Princess Gaoyang's beautiful eyes widened and she asked in a trembling voice: "When did this happen? Why did I not know at all... No, I want to go back to the palace and ask my father why he sent Erlang to Mobei. Isn't this a mistake?
Is he headed for death?"
She was so anxious that she stood up and was about to go out.
Wu Meiniang quickly took her hand, shook her head slightly, and said with red eyes: "Your Highness, don't be anxious, first listen to what daddy has to say."
Princess Gao Yang said angrily: "How can we not be anxious? Our husband is deep in the ice and snow of Mobei at the moment. He can be killed by the Xue Yantuo people at any time, and we will become widows! I have to ask
I asked my father why he had the heart to send his son-in-law to the battlefield, and why he had to watch his daughter become a widow?"
Xiao Shuer on the side clenched her hands tightly, her heart seemed to be broken...
She had just married into the Fang family not long ago, so she didn't dare to express her attitude as straightforwardly as Princess Gaoyang, but why didn't she complain about the emperor? There were so many famous generals in the court, so why did she send her husband to Mobei?
Mrs. Lu's tears were streaming down her face and she couldn't sit still for a long time.
The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles, not to mention that her son leads an army thousands of miles to go deep into the deserted moraine to fight against the Xueyantuo people?
She stood up suddenly, wiped her tears, and said loudly: "Mom, go with you! Our Fang family has been loyal to the country for generations, and this is how he repays it? Hasn't he always doted on Erlang?
, why do you leave so many famous generals unused, and then send Erlang to fight against the Xue Yantuo people? Do I have to kill my whole family in order to fulfill his wish?"
Fang Xuanling covered her forehead in pain.
have to!
Don’t be afraid of things getting big, just be afraid of things being easy!
My own "good wife" is good. Not only does she not take care of things, but she also helps stir up troubles. Doesn't this add fuel to the fire?
"Confused! How can you, a woman like you, have any room to comment on military and state affairs? Your Majesty is far-sighted and has his own rules. The Fang family has received the emperor's favor and should serve the country loyally and die for themselves! Border troubles in the northern frontier and intrusions into the hinterland are all in the end.
There will be soldiers marching to the battlefield, and sons and daughters from other families going into battle to kill the enemy and shrouding their corpses in horse leather. Why should your sons and daughters have to stay in Chang'an and enjoy their happiness? It's just a woman's opinion!"
Lu said angrily: "I am just a woman! Who cares about other families? Besides, my family is a civil servant! The imperial court has so many generals, why should my son, a civil servant, go into battle?"
Fang Xuanling was speechless.
Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the center has gradually been controlled by the Guanlong aristocrats. Regardless of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Guanlong aristocrats occupying high positions have gradually developed a habit of not distinguishing between civil and military affairs.
The real talent is to use both civil and military skills.
I am naturally a civil servant, but could it be that I could not carry a sword or kill an enemy back then?
Still unable to command a large army to defeat a powerful enemy?
Do you really think that if you give me 100,000 tiger warriors to go straight out of the Great Wall, you will not be able to destroy the Eastern Turks and defeat the Gaochang Kingdom?
It's just that there are so many powerful generals in Tiance Mansion that there is no need for me to fight in person.
Otherwise, if I raise my troops and go into battle to chase the North, I might not have Li Jing, Li Ji, Hou Jun, etc. to do anything...
