After His Majesty Li Er read the letter, he raised his hand and leaned it against the candlestick beside him. The flames licked the paper, instantly lighting up a ball of light and burning to ashes in an instant.
After rubbing his hands, His Majesty Li Er said: "Go to the gate of Zongzheng Temple in person later to see if anyone has come to surrender."
Logically speaking, Fang Jun's method of handling this is indeed better than going on a killing spree. Although it can pass on the conflict between the royal family and Guanlong, the resulting turbulent situation is inevitable. Public and private, the Guanlong nobles are all
He must take revenge on Fang Jun to restore his prestige.
Today, Fang Jun is no longer alone when he was impeached a few years ago and could only stand firm. A large number of people have already gathered around him. Even if the prince does not participate, they can fight vigorously with the Guanlong nobles.
Once the two sides start a war, the implications are not small. After all, the foundation of the Guanlong nobles lies in the army, and Fang Jun is the Minister of the Ministry of War. He is in charge of the entire army's logistics and troop deployment. A slight mistake will also affect the Eastern Expedition, making
Delays or errors occurred in the dispatching of the army and the transportation and supply of grain and baggage.
But just because no one broke a leg, it was not enough to pass the conflict over, so Fang Jun used a divorce tactic - whoever did not send his children out of Chang'an to face the possibility of being killed by Fang Jun, who
This will inevitably arouse the suspicion and resentment of all the Long nobles.
Why did we abandon all our children just to ease the conflict with the royal family and prevent it from intensifying, but you secretly sent your children to Zongzheng Temple to surrender?
You just sit back and enjoy the benefits and let me be your scapegoat?!
So as long as this kind of thing happens, divisions within Guanlong will inevitably occur, and His Majesty Li Er has to admire Fang Jun's plan. It is obvious that this boy is as concerned about Changsun Wuji's temperament and acting style as he is.
With a very deep understanding, I felt that as long as something like this happened, it would almost certainly be done by Changsun Wuji.
Know yourself and the enemy, and fight a hundred battles without danger. Fang Jun can face Zhangsun Wuji, the leader of national honors and the leader of hundreds of officials, as a junior. He has repeatedly failed to fall behind and even struck back with a backhand. It is indeed that he has a very clear understanding of Zhangsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji was very angry with Fang Jun almost every three to five days, and it seemed that he was not unjust...
Li Junxian quickly responded and said: "The general will obey the order!"
After saying that, he took three steps back and turned around to leave.
His Majesty Li Er suddenly raised his hand and said: "Wait!"
Li Junxian turned around in shock and saw His Majesty Li Er getting up and coming to the window. He opened the window and looked at the still dark sky outside and the raindrops drifting on the window sill with the breeze. He said to him: "Wait a moment."
, I will change my clothes and go with you."
Li Junxian was stunned and said: "Well...it's rainy, wet and cold outside, your majesty still pays more attention to the body of the dragon. You will take care of these things by yourself. If anything goes wrong, you are willing to be punished!"
Are you kidding me? The emperor should follow such a trivial matter?
Not only does he not have any sense of honor, but his head is too big. When someone goes out to do something, it will definitely not be a comfortable thing for the big boss to follow him and point fingers. He is always tied up and timid.
, lest I make a mistake and be punished...
But His Majesty Li Er's cheeks were rosy, and he was not at all decadent and depressed after staying up late. Instead, he was full of energy. Without even looking at Li Junxian, he turned back to his bedroom, called the maid and changed into a set of ordinary clothes.
, wearing a futou on his head, deerskin boots on his feet, and a jade belt around his waist, he looked like a wealthy businessman with a wealth of money.
After changing his clothes, His Majesty Li Er walked out of the dormitory and said to Li Junxian with great interest: "Come on, let's go together and see if Fang Erlang has a complete plan!"
After saying this, he pushed away the chamberlain who had opened his umbrella, ordered them not to follow him, and walked into the light rain at a leisurely pace.
Li Junxian saw sweat on his forehead and felt that His Majesty's state was a bit inappropriate, but how could he dare to expose His Majesty to the rain? He quickly grabbed the umbrella from the hand of the chamberlain, trotted after him, and held up the umbrella to cover His Majesty Li Er's fluttering.
The rain was pouring down, and he didn't care that his whole body was soaked in the rain. He was already soaked before he reached Chengtianmen...
The imperial guard in the palace wanted to accompany him, but His Majesty Li Er stopped him: "There are hundreds of cavalry guards, so you can just stay in the palace."
The guards looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do. The "Hundred Cavalry" were originally selected from among the guards in the palace. They were the best among the elite. With them protecting His Majesty's safety, they were naturally more powerful than the guards like them.
appropriate.
After leaving Chengtian Gate, Li Junxian planned to send people back to call more "Hundred Cavalry" to protect him, but was stopped by His Majesty Li Er again.
Not only that, he saw more than a dozen cavalry soldiers guarding the door, wearing raincoats and bamboo hats, leading horses standing in the rain. He suddenly became very interested and stepped forward and ordered a soldier to take off his raincoats and bamboo hats and give them to him, hoping to ride the horse.
As soon as I go out for a ride in the rain, I recall the style of those days...
Li Junxian was so frightened that his soul almost flew away. He almost knelt on the ground, begged and remonstrated with death, which made His Majesty Li Er give up angrily.
His Majesty was obviously very unhappy and said proudly: "I think back when I led the army to defeat Xue Ju and his son in Fufeng County, that battle was also in the heavy rain, with thunderbolts falling from the sky like pouring rain. I was wearing many armors and leading the troops.
The black-armored cavalry beheaded the generals and captured the flag, galloping through the crowds of thousands of troops. How majestic and domineering it was... After only a few years of hard work, could it be that I couldn't ride a horse? You, Li Junxian, thought you were also a strong general back then.
, charge into battle without fear of life or death. Has the luxurious enjoyment in the palace now corroded your will, so you have become so cowardly? It seems that you have to be sent to the border to roll among the dead, otherwise sooner or later you will become
Wine sack and rice sack!”
Li Junxian couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that back then you were the King of Qin, so naturally you had to fight for your life to conquer the world, but now that you are the 95-year-old and shoulder the important responsibilities of the country, how can it be the same?
Besides, do you think I am willing to be the commander-in-chief of this Lao Shizi's "Hundred Cavalry Division"?
Comparatively speaking, even if you are just a small captain in the border army, it is much better than the current days of fear! If your words are true, we will kneel down and kowtow. The Western Region can do it, and the Mobei can do it.
, even going to Annan...
After much talking, I finally persuaded His Majesty Li Er to get on the carriage that had been prepared in the palace.
More than ten elite "Hundred Cavalry" guards were at the front, back, left and right. Their dazzling eyes didn't even dare to blink. They were riding on their horses and staring in all directions. There has been no peace in Beijing recently. First, there was an assassin in Furong Garden.
Fang Jun was assassinated inside, and now there is a conflict between Guan Long's children and the clan's children. The situation is unpredictable. If someone tries to kill the king and usurp the throne, there will be big trouble!
The carriage passed through the long street and slowly headed towards Zongzheng Temple.
In the carriage, His Majesty Li Er raised the curtain and looked at the nervous Li Junxian who was riding on the horse outside. He felt even more envious. He thought that he had become the emperor and the supreme king in the world, but he couldn't even ride a horse without being punished.
It is simply unreasonable for people to stop me.
Then he shouted: "Li Junxian, get in the car and make tea for me!"
Li Junxian did not dare to resist the order. He glanced at the quiet long streets around him and felt a little more relaxed. However, he still resisted the arrangements around him and was not allowed to be distracted. Even if there was the slightest bit of abnormality, he had to be alert in time. If anyone dared to enter
Anyone within twenty steps of the carriage will be killed without mercy!
After explaining everything, he trotted onto the carriage shaft, took off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, and then got into the carriage.
Living with flint, he lit a fire in a small red clay stove, sat on the kettle, and then took out the tea can and tea set from the drawer of one side of the carriage, placed them on the tea tray in the middle of the carriage, cleaned them carefully, and then listened.
In front of him, His Majesty Li Er said: "This boy Fang Jun looks fierce and fierce, like a man, but in fact he is just a coward! What kind of alienation plan are you playing? Just kill all the Guanlong disciples, this is
Even if the matter is handled properly, even if the imperial censor is impeached and Dali Temple investigates, I know that he did it for me, so how can I let him suffer? With me protecting him, what else is there to be afraid of? "
Li Junxian's hand cleaning the tea set trembled slightly, and he glanced at the emperor suspiciously.
Although the disciples of Guanlong are rebellious, they are also your ministers after all. Is it really okay to be so murderous? He secretly glanced at His Majesty Li Er and saw that his face was rosy and energetic, and he was obviously in high spirits. Obviously, these words were not what he said.
Talking about it for fun, I couldn't help but become more suspicious...
Although His Majesty is usually very domineering and strong-willed, he is always calm when it comes to matters like this. Why are you so excited today?
It feels like those scribes who ate too much Wushisan and bared their teeth...
