Today is the small court meeting. There are not many people entering the palace to go to court. They are all chief officials of various ministries. The court dispersed early in the morning. The ministers walked out of Tai Chi Palace one after another and went to the palace gate to wait to leave the palace.
The rain still hasn't stopped, and it keeps falling like this. It's already bright, but the clouds still cover the sun, and there's no sun.
The ministers walked slowly in twos and threes, with their chamberlains holding umbrellas to protect them from the rain.
Ma Zhou walked side by side with Fang Jun, his official boots stepping on the wet bluestone beneath his feet, and he sighed in a low voice: "This matter should have been my brother's responsibility, but Erlang was implicated. I feel really ashamed."
He is an upright gentleman, upright and of high moral character. He feels that this matter should be under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion. Now he is so timid that Fang Jun is innocently involved but is helpless. He always feels that it is unreasonable and he cannot be sorry for Fang Jun.
Fang Jun chuckled and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't be like this. I want to show off in front of His Majesty, so I am willing to endure grievances in exchange for His Majesty's favor. As the saying goes, seek benevolence and get benevolence. What does it have to do with your elder brother?"
Speaking of which, as long as the elder brother doesn’t blame the younger brother for taking away your credit..."
Ma Zhou smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Who can take this kind of credit? It would be you, Fang Jun, right? If it had been anyone else, they would have been crushed to death by the Guanlong nobles before they even got the credit...
He was about to speak when he suddenly heard cluttered footsteps behind him. He looked back in shock and saw Changsun Wuji hurrying up surrounded by a group of Guanlong nobles.
Fang Jun stopped and turned around.
Changsun Wuji came to Fang Jun and stood still. He stared at Fang Jun with a pair of bloodshot eyes, just like a tiger in the mountains that had discovered its prey. It was preparing to attack and would use all its strength in the next moment.
Pounce on him and kill him with one blow!
Murderous!
If it were anyone else, they would probably tremble under the power of Changsun Wuji and their legs would become weak, but what kind of person is Fang Jun?
Not only was there no fear at all, but he took a step forward...
The group of Guanlong nobles behind Changsun Wuji were so frightened that they thought that this lawless "stick" wanted to fight Changsun Wuji, so they rushed forward with a "hurrah", trying to separate Fang Jun and Changsun Wuji, and shouted and yelled.
Voice.
"presumptuous!"
"What do you want to do?"
"It's lawless!"
…
Even Ma Zhou was startled. He stood behind Fang Jun and tried to pull him away, but he saw that Fang Jun was just standing face to face with Changsun Wuji. The distance between them was less than one foot, and they could be said to have heard each other.
The two are of similar height, neither of them tall and burly, but Changsun Wuji is old and chubby, while Fang Jun is handsome.
Fang Jun looked at Changsun Wuji calmly and asked calmly: "Mr. Zhao Guo, what do you want?"
Changsun Wuji stared at the dark-skinned but heroic face in front of him, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "This blood feud will be repaid by you one day!"
Fang Jun showed no fear at all. Instead, he sneered and said slowly: "It's the most ridiculous thing in the world! The so-called blood feuds you talk about are one after another. How can you know the truth in your heart, but you are being treated unfairly and humiliated like this all day long?
Don’t you have the slightest sense of shame in your behavior to win people’s sympathy? Those sons of yours misbehaved and violated human ethics. As the saying goes, they deserved their death and cannot blame others. If the son does not teach, it is the father’s fault. Duke Zhao Guogong does not think deeply about his own mistakes and correct them.
, it’s not too late to teach the remaining sons to be successful and to make up for the situation, but on the contrary, it’s shameless to be framed here by spouting blood?”
Changsun Wuji's face was blood red, and the Guanlong nobles behind him were furious and yelled and cursed.
This is the most distinguished official in the dynasty, and he is the highest in terms of merit and qualifications. Fang Jun's extremely insulting words are simply intolerable!
Even Ma Zhou's expression changed, he pulled Fang Jun's arm and said quickly: "Erlang, be careful what you say!"
Regarding seniority, respecting elders has always been a Chinese etiquette. As long as the other person is a respected elder, you must show appropriate respect. Even if the other person is indeed wrong, as a junior, you should be humble and honest, and you must not be aggressive or disrespectful.
Otherwise, being polite becomes rude.
Changsun Wuji's face was ferocious, and he was about to bite him into pieces. He said in a hateful voice: "Don't try to use your words here. God will bring you retribution, and one day your Fang Jun will suffer retribution!"
Fang Jun refused to give in and retorted: "It is said that if virtue is not matched, there will be disaster. Zhao Guogong is shameless and private. Look at the fate of your own son. How can you have the face to think of yourself as the leader of meritorious deeds? How can you show your teeth and claws in front of me?
Are you arrogant? There may be retribution from me, but Zhao Guogong is old and will never see it in his lifetime. However, Zhao Guogong’s divine punishment is still vivid in our eyes and happens frequently!"
"Whoaaah!"
Changsun Wuji was furious. He might have been pretentious before, but now he was really irritated. Two of my sons have died, and I have another son who is in exile and has no home to return to. You actually cursed me.
"There will be disaster"?
His blood and sanity were all gone, Changsun Wuji's beard and hair grew wild, he screamed like a crazed beast, and lunged towards Fang Jun.
Fang Junyi was not afraid. Instead of retreating to avoid the sharp edge, Fang Jun lowered his body slightly and stepped down from his horse. He reached out his hands like lightning and grabbed Changsun Wuji's wrist, ready to use his strength...
Ma Zhou screamed in fright, suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his arms to strangle Fang Jun's upper limbs, sweating profusely and shouted: "Erlang, stop, don't be reckless!"
He strangled Fang Jun's upper limbs in such a way that he could not exert any strength. Fortunately, the Guanlong nobles also hurriedly stepped forward to catch Changsun Wuji, who was running away, and dragged him back with all hands.
Who doesn't know that Fang Jun is born with supernatural power and can bravely defeat the three armies? Looking at this posture, Fang Jun is not only not afraid, but dares to fight back. When Changsun Wuji was young, he could ride a strong horse and draw a strong bow, but now he is getting older and weak.
With a weak body, who is Fang Jun's opponent?
Once this is hit in one place, I'm afraid Fang Jun will have to tear it apart within two rounds...
Changsun Wuji was indeed furious. He was grabbed by his colleagues and pulled back. Both arms were controlled, but his legs were kicked hard, intending to kick Fang Jun, and shouted: "Bastard!
Evil thief! I will strangle you to death today to get rid of the hatred in my heart..."
The nobles of Guanlong took action one after another and finally restrained Changsun Wuji. They couldn't help complaining: You know how your own son died. Do you think we don't know? Everyone is trying to save your face and muddle along.
That's it, you should stop scolding Fang Jun just to express your anger. Do you really think that this "stick" can be manipulated by you?
This bastard doesn't have any respect. If he beats you up when he gets angry, wouldn't it mean that he loses his face and prestige even more?
In the distance, Wang De, the chief chamberlain, came running quickly with a team of guards.
At this moment, all the chamberlains who were holding umbrellas were pushed to the side. There were no umbrellas to protect them from the rain. These usually dignified and dignified ministers were all soaked by the rain, and they were in a state of chaos and embarrassment.
Seeing this posture, Wang De couldn't help his eyelids twitching and asked quickly: "What happened?"
The noble Guanlong said repeatedly: "I accidentally fell, it's nothing, nothing!"
How else to say it?
It is said that Changsun Wuji gradually became angry and wanted to teach Fang Jun a lesson, but in the end, Fang Jun didn't care about his status and qualifications and refused to give in, and even wanted to fight?
If you lose all your face, you might as well settle the matter and suffer the consequences of being dumb...
How could Wang De believe it? He looked at Fang Jun again and asked, "Fang Shaobao, is this really true?"
Ma Zhou was afraid that Fang Jun would not give in, so he quickly said, "It's true. The road was slippery on a rainy day. It was a small accident. Fortunately, no one was injured. We will leave the palace right now."
Wang De glanced at everyone's faces and said coldly: "It's not that this old slave is troublesome, but this is the Tai Chi Palace. Fighting and causing trouble are strictly prohibited in the Forbidden Palace. If you break the rules, even if you are a minister, you will not be allowed to do anything."
Mr. Wang Guogong, you must also accept punishment according to the rules of the palace, and I hope you will behave accordingly."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, it's really just an accident. We'll leave the palace right away. Mr. Wang will see you off without any trouble."
The nobles of Guanlong pulled their eldest son Wuji and hurried out of the palace. Everyone knew that His Majesty did not want to see them now. Even eldest Sun Wuji had lost his holy family. On the contrary, Fang Jun was very popular and was very popular with His Majesty.
Favored by Zhangsun Wuji, if this comes to the imperial court, His Majesty Li Er will not be biased because of Changsun Wuji's status and qualifications, and may even be punished with an additional penalty.
Even if we deal with them all and give each of them 50 big blows, it will be embarrassing for Changsun Wuji...
When Ma Zhou saw the Guan Long nobles leaving, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Manager Wang, thank you for your trouble. I'll leave now." He took Fang Jun with him and waited to leave the palace.
Wang De said: "Ma Fuyin is leaving on his own. Fang Shaobao, please stay. Your Majesty has an order to pay you an audience at the Dragon Palace."
After saying this, he bowed and stood by the roadside and said respectfully: "Fang Shaobao, please."
