In the main hall of the house, Fang Xuanling held a feather duster in her hand, raised her eyebrows and scolded angrily: "You unfilial son, do you want to make me angry to death? Kneel down!"
Fang Junxin knelt down in the hall unwillingly and curled his lips and said: "How could it be? I can't get anything out of you if you leave..." This is true. The eldest son is Fang Yizhi, regardless of his title or family property.
They are all inherited by Fang Jun, and Fang Jun is the one who is sharing some of the money and the estate. Most of it is earned by himself...
But the problem is, sometimes this truth cannot be spoken. Saying it is hard to hear and can easily lead to trouble...
This made Fang Xuanling angry. What's the matter? According to your statement, whether I live or die has nothing to do with you? If you are an unfilial son, I'm going to get beaten!
Without saying a word, Lao Fang just slapped him with a feather duster, which made Fang Jun cry like a ghost, howl like a wolf, jump up and down, and there were chicken feathers all over the floor...
After spanking her son, Fang Xuanling felt refreshed. She sat on the Taishi chair newly made by her family's craftsmen and looked at this brat with some helplessness.
"Tell me about you. You are always in trouble all the time. It's okay to be domineering outside. Why do you go to the palace to provoke His Majesty? Do you think that with me as your father, His Majesty can't do anything to you?"
Fang Jun rubbed his lower back. He was kicked by His Majesty Li Er and whipped by his father. Although his muscles and bones were not injured, his skin and flesh were in severe pain. He deserved to be wronged and said: "Son, this is a remonstrance.
, Speak out and give advice, this is something only upright officials can do. If you don’t praise me, why don’t you hit me? If you just flatter me and praise your virtues, you might become a traitorous minister."
Fang Xuanling blew his beard and glared: "It is a good thing to speak out and give advice, but why do you have to go against His Majesty? Do you think everyone is Wei Zheng, who has the qualifications to sing a strong voice? Even if it is Wei Zheng, it is not good to do this all the time.
The end result is that he is an emperor, holding the universe in his hand, and he is the most respected emperor!"
Fang Jun agrees with this. Wei Zheng has been admonishing his whole life. Officials and people all over the world know that he is a very upright official. His Majesty Li Er still regards him as a "mirror", but what is the result? When a person dies, His Majesty Li Er will
The tombstones were smashed...
This is the Tang Dynasty, where the king's power is supreme and the emperor is supreme. One word can decide the death of millions of people! Whoever he says dies must die!
But...there are some things that have to be said, right?
Fang Jun can ignore His Majesty Li Er, and even ignore his own bright future, but he cannot ignore this dynasty.
In the final analysis, his sense of belonging in this era is those two words that will last forever and that thousands of Han people will be proud of!
Datang!
In the world of mortals, in the vicissitudes of life, even if the mainland of China sinks, even if the empire collapses, even if the cannons of the great powers shatter the closed country, and countless Han people sink under the iron hooves of foreigners and linger, there is still such a pride in my heart, which is vaguely visible
The glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty...
That is the totem that belongs to this nation. It has been passed down for thousands of years and has spread throughout every corner of the planet. Because of him, the inheritor of this bloodline has a resounding and proud name——
Tang people!
The meaning of life that Fang Jun can find for himself is to make this dynasty more glorious, greater, and stronger...
Fang Xuanling didn't know what his son was thinking, but he could see his stubbornness.
The kind of stubbornness that will never turn back, and would rather break than bend!
He was a little surprised. This kind of attitude was rarely seen in his increasingly slippery son.
Fang Xuanling pondered slightly, murmuring the words Fang Jun wrote to His Majesty Li Er: "No marriage, no compensation, no cession of land, no tribute, the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die..."
The pride and ambition are evident at a glance!
Even if he is as calm as Fang Xuanling, he can't help but admire him! If he can really do this, how great will this country be?
but……
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know that this is just poking His Majesty's scars?"
How could Fang Jun not know?
If there is no marriage, His Majesty Li Er will marry the princess to Tuguhun and Tubo, thus kicking off the marriage policy of princesses in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 20 princesses who married abroad and married. No compensation or tribute was paid. His Majesty Li Er was forced by the Turks to establish the Weishui River Alliance; His Majesty Li Er did not cede territory, but his descendant Tang Dezong signed the "Clear Water Covenant" which was the first humiliation and loss of power in Chinese history...
It's just as big as His Majesty Li Er's face! How can His Majesty Li Er, who has such a good face, not be angry?
Fang Jun believes that from the day His Majesty Li Er decided on the marriage policy, the bones of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were broken!
What kind of backbone can a country that relies on women to pray for peace have?
The national policy of the Ming Dynasty was, "No peace, no indemnity, no cession of territory, no tribute. The emperor will guard the gates of the country, and the king will die." How ambitious and iron-clad is it? Yet, there are still people who say that the dynasty is stubborn and will perish. so fast……
If this kind of thinking is followed, wouldn't Yuan Shikai's "Twenty-One Points" be a major diplomatic victory?
In terms of prosperity and power, the Tang Dynasty was several times better than the Ming Dynasty.
However, when the Ming Dynasty fell, the people and the city were still there. "Keep your head but not your hair, keep your hair but not your head." The city was destroyed and people perished. For eighty days, they pledged their allegiance, and one hundred thousand people died in one heart and for righteousness!
When the Tang Dynasty fell...where were the people?
This is the integrity of a country. It may be poor, backward, or corrupt, but then it will have a cohesion that makes people willing to die and die together!
The majesty lasts forever, and the cohesion that shakes the past and the present!
Fang Jun raised his head proudly and said in a sonorous tone: "How can a man live under a woman's crotch and push her out to pray for peace? Once such a thing as integrity is lost, it can never be found again. Besides..."
He paused and said loudly: "Since ancient times, has marriage ever brought real peace? It is just a fig leaf pulled by those in power to cover up their lack of progress and indulgence in comfort!"
Then, Fang Jun said word by word: "It's a shame to make a marriage, send the princess to you, kill her after the fun, and invade again!"
Fang Xuanling suddenly changed color, suddenly picked up the feather duster, and shouted: "I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"
How could Fang Jun be beaten again? He had said everything he needed to say, and if he didn't run away, how long would he wait?
He jumped out of the door with one swift step and fled in panic...
****************
Shanchi Pavilion.
The afternoon sun shines in through the window edges, passing through the dust and forming split beams of light.
The king and his ministers were sitting across from each other, and the messy room had already been tidied up.
His Majesty Li Er sighed: "Among the people in the court, there are probably not a few who hold Fang Jun's views, right?"
Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said, "Yes."
"Alas!" His Majesty Li Er sighed again, with a somewhat bleak tone: "Why don't these people understand my painstaking efforts?"
Fang Xuanling remained silent.
"Don't you agree with me, Fang Qing?" His Majesty Li Er said displeasedly if he felt something.
"Your Majesty...can you consider it again?" Fang Xuanling said slowly, and the meaning was already clear. He did not agree with the marriage policy.
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Beidi has been in chaos since ancient times, and now Tubo is stubborn and stubborn, and the land and valleys are turbulent. They must be punished as soon as possible. I have thought about it carefully and have only two strategies: select a hundred thousand disciples, attack and capture them, and eliminate the evil and ugly people.
This is a policy that will keep you safe for a hundred years. If you follow him and get married, and ease your bridle and ties, you will be able to live in peace for thirty years. This is also a policy."
Seeing Fang Xuanling's non-committal attitude, she raised her voice and said angrily: "I am the parent of the common people, and I am willing to take care of them. How can I cherish a daughter!"
Fang Xuanling is his right-hand man. In terms of government affairs, he relies on him even more than his uncle, Changsun Wuji. If Fang Xuanling doesn't even stand on his side, am I really going to be alone?
But am I doing this for myself?
I am thinking about the Tang Dynasty and the millions of ordinary people. Once the war breaks out and the war continues, and the Zhenguan era has just begun, won't it be destroyed in one fell swoop?
What a bastard!
Fang Xuanling remained silent. Now he finally understood why His Majesty Li Er wanted to stabilize Tuguhun and Tubo through marriage...
Through the marriage relationship after the marriage, the political purpose of stabilizing the border defense is achieved. The marriage relationship is different from the expansion by force. It can be seen that His Majesty Li Er's marriage thought fundamentally serves his politics.
Because in His Majesty Li Er's heart, whether it is Tuguhun or Tubo, there is always a fight, there will be victory or defeat for each other, if you can conquer it, you can conquer it, and if you can't conquer it, it doesn't matter...
He wanted to pacify the rear and make way for the eastern expedition to Goguryeo!
Only Goguryeo can make his holy name surpass the emperors of all dynasties and become one of the emperors of the ages!
