When we came out of Jingzhaofu Yamen, the moon was already in the sky and the cool breeze was like water.
It seemed that it was past You hour, so Fang Jun did not dare to delay any longer and rode back to Chongrenfang Mansion. After entering the house, he asked his servants and found out that Fang Yize and Fang Xiuzhu had returned. Then he was completely relieved and hurried to his father's courtyard.
Fang Xuanling was still sitting in the study.
The incident caused by his son and daughter today may seem inconspicuous, but how could Fang Xuanling, who was once the head of the prime minister and the chief minister and the one who single-handedly controlled the Tang Dynasty, not see the hidden danger in this? He is sitting in the study at the moment
, drinking tea leisurely by himself, waiting for his second son to come back, and discussing how to deal with it.
Fang Jun entered the study, drove all the servants away, and closed the door.
The servants stood guard at the gate of the yard and did not allow anyone to approach the study. They watched the lights in the study burning brightly. It took half an hour before the study door opened again.
Fang Jun's face was calm, and he did not see any anxious expression. However, he did not turn back to the back house. Instead, he led his troops out of the gate and rode straight to the Youtunwei camp north of Xuanwu Gate.
The iron hoofs stepped on the bluestone pavement of the long street, shattering the silence of Chang'an City at night.
Fang Xuanling walked out of the study with her hands behind her back, looking relaxed and leisurely, and slowly returned to the bedroom in the back house...
*****
That night, undercurrents surged everywhere in Chang'an City, shrouded in darkness.
Changsun Wuji almost went crazy when he heard that his son had a conflict with a group of clan members in the street and beat Li Xiang until his nose bled.
He was at the center of the struggle between imperial power and Guanlong. How could he not understand the consequences of this happening at this time?
He did his best for Guan Long's power and interests, even turning against His Majesty Li Er, giving up the close friendship of fighting side by side in the past, but he always tried his best to maintain this restraint, and worked hard to make this struggle from beginning to end.
They are always under absolute calm and will not reach an unacceptable level, further intensifying the conflict between the two parties.
But it was unimaginable that at such a juncture, something like this would happen...
Changsun Wuji's first thought was that someone was planning it. It seemed accidental, but in fact there was someone behind the scenes. His next thought was to hang Changsun Huan on the beam and give him a severe beating, and then kill him.
Throw it away in Mobei and fend for itself in the ice and snow.
Because once the conflict between the royal family and Guanlong intensifies, the most direct consequence is to cause turmoil in the court situation. All forces will inevitably rise up and take advantage of the situation. If they are not careful, they will destroy the current stable and prosperous situation.
In an instant, war is everywhere, and the empire is in turmoil!
How could a mere eldest son, Sun Huan, afford such consequences?
Needless to say, this responsibility must be borne by the Changsun family...
Just think about the fact that the history books record that the Changsun family caused this conflict, which brought the Zhenguan era to an abrupt end. Later generations were despised and scolded, and Changsun Wuji had the urge to kill.
In anger, Changsun Wuji had to quickly send people to invite the heads of the Guanlong families to come to Zhao Guogong's mansion to discuss how to deal with this matter.
As a result, the heads of each family had not yet arrived, but their servants informed them that Changsun Huan was back...
…
Changsun Wuji looked at Changsun Huan who hurriedly walked into the hall. His mind was full of doubts. He didn't bother to give him a blow to vent his anger and asked: "What happened? How can Jingzhao Mansion let you back?"
Changsun Huan knew that what happened today would definitely make his father furious and he would be disappointed with himself, but he was also aggrieved. He was just going out to eat, drink and have fun. Who knew he would have conflicts with the Fang brothers and sisters, and who knew that there would be conflicts with all the clan members?
Will the disciples meet each other by chance?
He had been tossing about for half the night. At this moment, his mouth was dry, but he did not dare to drink any water. He took two steps forward and knelt upright in front of Changsun Wuji, saying: "Father, calm down, my child has indeed suffered an unreasonable disaster today. This matter must be dealt with in no uncertain terms."
My son has nothing to do with it... Oops!"
Before he finished speaking, Changsun Wuji, who had already stepped forward, kicked him to the ground.
Changsun Wuji was furious, pointed his halberd and cursed angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! I don't want to know what you did, I just want to ask you why Jingzhao Mansion is willing to let you back?"
The King of Chiang and the King of Yue were just that. After all, his reputation was not very good, and he acted rashly and had a reckless personality. But what kind of status did Li Xiang have?
As long as the prince reigns, Li Xiang will be the future prince of the empire!
A group of ostentatious Guanlong disciples beat the six or seven-year-old Crown Prince's son until his nose bleeds... If he is not severely punished, where is the imperial law, where is the dignity of His Majesty, and where is the dignity of the Crown Prince?
How could the Jingzhao Mansion be willing to release Changsun Huan without being able to find out the matter and give an explanation to His Majesty and the Crown Prince?
Changsun Huan stood up from the ground, knelt in front of Changsun Wuji, and told what happened word for word.
Changsun Wuji sat back on his chair with a gloomy face, his thoughts racing in his mind.
Now is not the time to get angry and punish Changsun Huan. If punishing Changsun Huan can calm the situation, he will definitely tie Changsun Huan in front of Taiji Palace without saying a word, and let His Majesty Li Er kill or cut him up. There will never be any
Not at all reluctant to give up...
He couldn't figure out what Fang Jun and Ma Zhou's intentions were.
It is conceivable that as long as these people are released, they will definitely escape without a trace tomorrow morning. After all, no one among the Guanlong nobles wants to intensify the conflict and put it on the table at this time. In that case, neither the Guanlong nobles nor Li
Both Your Majesty have no room for return, so they can only confront each other head-on. Whoever wins and who loses will destabilize the court and make the world unrest.
If the Guanlong nobles want to seek benefits, they must at least ensure that their interests are not deprived by His Majesty Li Er. However, all this must be done under the condition that the court situation is stable, rather than confronting His Majesty Li Er.
Go grab it with open swords and guns!
What kind of person is His Majesty Li Er?
He would kill his own brothers without batting an eyelid, and after killing brothers and brothers, he would kill all their descendants and eradicate them. Such a strong-willed person, who is most proud, conceited and self-willed, how could he endure being forced to give in by his ministers?
As long as the conflict intensifies, there will be two endings for the Guanlong nobles: either they will be suppressed by His Majesty Li Er and Guo will seize power, and they will live with their tail between their legs from now on; or the army will march into Chang'an City and the Sixteen Guards will be killed.
The tiger and wolf troops ransacked the homes of the Guanlong nobles one by one and wiped out their families!
The Guanlong nobles have always been known for their rebellion and usurpation. They are good at building up a country, destroying another country, and even deposing an emperor and establishing an emperor. However, today, things have changed and people have changed. Today's Tang Dynasty is not what it used to be.
In the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, the present His Majesty Li Er is not like the inexperienced Emperor Jing Yu Wenchan who ascended the throne in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, nor is he like the talented but ambitious Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty...
Even if the Guanlong nobles want to imitate the previous methods to implement military remonstrance, how many people can the Sixteen Guards in Suwei Guanzhong mobilize?
How many people in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty were willing to see His Majesty Li Er deposed?
Once chaos occurs, how many states, prefectures and counties in the world will declare independence, and how many will join the Qing Dynasty in Beijing?
Now His Majesty Li Er has already gained great prestige and won the hearts of the people. As long as he is still here, the Guanlong nobles will not dare to act rashly.
On the contrary, as His Majesty Li Er's most favored and valued ministers, neither Ma Zhou nor Fang Jun would like to see the day when the government is in chaos and the world becomes unstable. Needless to say, the political wisdom of these two people is impossible.
Can't see the crisis hidden behind this simple incident.
Fang Jun has always regarded his family as the most important thing, and he dotes on his little sister to no end. He has already collected countless dowries before they even get engaged, so that nowadays, as long as there is a man of the right age in the family, all Guanzhong people want to marry her.
Go to this relative.
Fang's sister was teased and her brother was beaten. With Fang Jun's temperament, how could he let it go?
If the city of Chang'an is bound to be turned upside down, then he is no longer Fang Jun.
However, at this moment, he took the lead in suggesting to Ma Zhou that all those involved in the case should be released, and only asked them to go to Zongzheng Temple to surrender tomorrow... With the wisdom of Ma Zhou and Fang Jun, how can they believe that these people will honestly return to the police tomorrow?
To surrender?
If one of the ten people is still in Chang'an City by tomorrow morning, it will be an accident.
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji found that he seemed to have fallen into a nest. He only focused on speculating on Ma Zhou and Fang Jun's motives for releasing all those involved, but he forgot to get to the core of the matter - since Ma Zhou and Fang Jun were bound to
What needs to be done to resolve this crisis? Is this the point of releasing these people?
And if you were allowed to deal with this matter immediately, what actions would you take to achieve the desired results?
