When Cheng Chuliang saw that Fang Jun was willing to come forward to beg Sun Simiao, his mood improved greatly. He repeatedly asked for wine, and the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became lively.
Li Tai, the king of Wei, picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Fang Jun, and said with a smile: "Erlang is now very lucky. Not only does he have unparalleled military exploits, but he is also a beautiful woman with a lot of peach blossoms. I heard that the Princess of Silla begged for it." Queen Seondeok went to the father to propose marriage and made it clear that she would not marry her unless she was you. Haha, this really makes me admire her and make me jealous."
When this matter was mentioned, everyone at the table immediately became energetic.
King Li You of Qi was the most coquettish person. He slapped the table at this moment, stared at Fang Jun with bright eyes, and asked: "It is now rumored that you, Erlang, went on a killing spree in Silla that day and killed half of Silla's army." , the reason why the Silla royal family was preserved and even agreed to Queen Seondeok's request was because Queen Seondeok, who was trapped in the Silla royal castle at that time, offered herself a pillow, and went to battle together with Princess Jindeok and her sisters, taking off their clothes. He took off his belt and tried his best to keep the royal family intact... Now in the Tang Dynasty, although there are countless people who covet the beauty of their children, they are unmoved and just want to renew their relationship with Erlang. , even as slaves and maids... Erlang, tell me, tell me, are these rumors true or false?"
Even Li Min, who had been silent all this time, was very interested: "That's just Princess Zhende. She hasn't grown out yet. She's just a yellow-haired girl, but Queen Shande is really a peerless beauty."
Fang Jun had a headache and said helplessly: "Where did you hear this nonsense? I was leading the army on an expedition that day. How dare you ignore military law and do such a despicable thing in the military camp? There is no such thing."
This matter must be denied. If someone with intentions takes advantage of it to cause trouble, it will be very bad.
Nowadays, there are countless people in the government watching him, waiting for him to make a mistake. How can he give those individuals such an excuse?
Cheng Chuliang smiled and said: "Erlang doesn't need to explain. Even though we never had a chance encounter in the past, now Princess Zhende is about to marry into the house as a concubine. She has no relatives but Queen Shande in Chang'an. She must have been very close to Erlang." When you are near the water and on the terrace, if you want to have a kiss and be fragrant, isn’t that just holding something in your hand?”
King Li Tai of Wei took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes and clicked his tongue, imagining the dignified and beautiful appearance of Queen Shande in his mind, and praised: "Even though I am an emperor and nobleman, the prince of the court sometimes has to be jealous of Erlang's Yanfu. Madam Wu Mei is as her name suggests, bright and charming, as gorgeous as a peony. Xiao Shuer is unparalleled in beauty, with a pure orchid heart. This princess of Zhende is also beautiful and beautiful, with unparalleled beauty. Alas, a man has established himself in the world, with fame, wealth and power. You have taken advantage of all the beauty."
Everyone was talking and envious.
Nowadays, Fang Jun's achievements have long been beyond the reach of all the men of the Tang Dynasty. His unparalleled achievements, which are comparable to those of the Han Dynasty champions, make people feel jealous just thinking about it. Not only that, this guy is also a famous person in front of His Majesty, and he is favored by everyone. No one in the hall can match him. He caused such a big disaster today, and the result was only a rank reduction...
For Fang Jun, who is a stick, is calling a general a big deal?
I don’t know how many times this guy’s official title has been demoted, and he will be demoted every time he gets into trouble. But who said this guy is so favored by His Majesty? Moreover, he is indeed capable and can handle anything His Majesty tells him. Not to mention anything else, just bringing back ship after ship of silver from the Japanese country is enough to make His Majesty be lenient and indulgent to him. This official title may be restored one day, or even more. Going upstairs is never difficult...
Speaking of which, this man is a strange flower in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty.
Especially for such a beautiful blessing, it is no longer envy, but deep jealousy.
Let’s not talk about Princess Gaoyang. She is a royal princess. For Fang Xuanling’s son, marriage with the royal family is a must. Even if there is no Princess Gaoyang, there will be other princesses to marry. His Majesty Li Er’s daughters are all beautiful.
As beautiful as a flower and as smart as a flower, there is no one who is bad.
But if you look at those concubines, they are really eye-catching.
The most important thing is that Wu Meiniang, Xiao Shuer, and even Princess Zhende all took the initiative to enter Fang Jun's room, and Fang Jun never bothered about it at all...
Facing a group of envious and jealous eyes, Fang Jun felt dizzy and said helplessly: "I am not a person who likes sex, I dare not call myself a gentleman, but I am also upright and self-possessed, but all of them have to be stuffed into the room."
People, but they still can’t refuse, so there’s nothing I can do about it!”
"Hey, hey, room two, that's too much!"
"That's right, you're getting an advantage and yet you act like a good boy!"
"Seeing that you are so aggrieved, why don't you choose one of them and send it to my house? Whichever one you want, we won't pick!"
"Look at the face of a well-fed man like you who doesn't know how hungry a hungry man is. Why do you deserve a beating so much?"
…
This sentence aroused public indignation, and everyone denounced it one after another.
Fang Jun quickly begged for mercy and raised his glass to punish himself three times.
Then it calmed down a little...
“Erlang, the ‘Martial Arts Hall’ class is about to start, how is the preparation progress?”
As the host, Cheng Chuliang made a toast, drank a toast, and asked Fang Jun while pouring the wine himself.
The major event in Chang'an right now is the upcoming "Martial Arts Lecture Hall".
Officers above the rank of lieutenant colonel were transferred to the "Martial Arts Hall" in batches to give lessons. After graduation, the emperor personally issued graduation certificates and conferred new military ranks. This had already caused a huge wave among the various armies of the Tang Dynasty.
The emperor is the lord of the world. The Han people who have "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" have been engraved in their bones for a long time. Who can resist this honor?
Not to mention that as long as you enter the "Martial Arts Hall", it means that you will become a key officer to be trained, and you will have a bright future, be promoted and make a fortune...
Therefore, everyone's eyes are fixed on the first batch of students in the "Martial Arts Hall".
As long as you can be among them, it means glory and future. How can you not make those officers who are descendants of aristocratic families flock to you?
Not to mention the "Gewuyuan" where Fang Jun personally compiled the teaching materials and presided over the teaching. Who doesn't know that Fang Erlang's knowledge of mathematics is the best in the world, and his knowledge of things is unparalleled in the world?
Not everyone wants to be in the army, become an officer, or preside over the six ministries. In power, there are thousands of officials in the Tang Dynasty. From the court to the local government, all kinds of talents are needed, especially now that the emperor has successively
An imperial edict was issued calling on Tang students to "put their knowledge to practical use", and there were many officials who were proficient in arithmetic, astronomy, astronomy and other subjects.
Not everyone will have the opportunity to become a prince, become a prime minister, and rule the world in the end. For more people, it is more practical and appropriate to rely on professional knowledge to seek a stable official position in the court.
Target.
When Fang Jun saw everyone looking over, he said: "The preparations for the school are going well, and classes are tentatively scheduled to start around the Mid-Autumn Festival. I know what you mean, but regarding the selection and selection of students, everything must be decided by His Majesty. Who can
I can’t get in, and I’m helpless.”
Everyone wants to put their own children into the list of the first batch of students. Not to mention anything else, the first batch of students will almost certainly enter the emperor's eyes. Even if they just glance at their names and have an impression in their hearts, this will have a great impact on the students in the future.
In terms of his official career, it is equivalent to a recommendation at the level of a prime minister.
Because of this, this list is naturally sought after by all parties.
As the organizer of the "Martial Arts Hall" and the default number two figure in the "Martial Arts Hall" in the future, Fang Jun naturally has the say in the selection of the list, but he wisely entrusts all this power to His Majesty Li Er.
, never get involved.
Although this power can gather people, it is also too offending...
Given Fang Jun's current situation, he is not eager to cultivate his influence, but rather to keep a low profile and avoid becoming the target of public criticism.
He pushed it all away so quickly that everyone at the banquet naturally sighed.
If Fang Jun can have the power to advise on this list, and if we all know each other well, and if we ask each other for help, and promise some benefits, he will be able to recommend his own children to it, but now the power is in the hands of His Majesty... who dares to follow?
The emperor asked for such a favor?
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the banquet is over.
Cheng Chuliang sent them to the door of the house one by one, telling everyone to come early tomorrow, and then said goodbye reluctantly.
At the last moment of the curfew, Fang Jun, who was slightly drunk, returned to the house and went straight into the backyard.
