The mist and rain outside the window were misty and miserable, and the rainwater dripped down the eaves like strings of beads. The whispers and low-pitched laughter between couples from next door could be heard clearly.
Princess Changle looked out of the window. The cold air mixed with moisture hit her face, and her eyes were as misty as mist.
"I hope that after my wife is separated,
Comb your bun again and sweep your eyebrows beautifully.
With his graceful appearance, he is the master of selecting high-ranking officials.
Resolve grievances and resolve knots, let alone hate each other.
One is separated from the other, each is happy..."
These are the words written in the book of peace and separation that Changsun Chong gave to him at the time of the reconciliation. They seem to be meaningful, peaceful, and full of deep affection and blessings, but in fact they are "there is no tolerance for separation, and love and hate are intertwined."
That marriage completely destroyed her life. All her longing for happiness as a girl was shattered by reality. Her life never gave her any preferential treatment because of her most noble status in the world.
While receiving the most extreme honor in the world, he also sacrificed everything that is most precious to a daughter's family.
God is always so fair. When he gives you something, he will often take away an equal thing...
If I had never been given a marriage to Changsun Chong, or if I could have been born a few years later, would I have been able to meet a completely different person and start a completely different life?
Unfortunately, there is no do-over in life.
Fortunately, there is no do-over in life...
*****
In the rain, King Li Tai of Wei held an umbrella and wore rain boots, striding into the manor outside Suzhou. The Xu family manor had been completely destroyed, with many parts damaged, and the garden was trampled to pieces by the rebels.
There was no need to spread the mud, so Mu Yuanzuo donated his manor outside the city, which was where his old parents lived. In order to please the prince and princess, he simply took his parents to the palace in the city...
Entering the entrance of the main hall, Li Tai handed the umbrella in his hand to the waiter beside him, shook off the rainwater on his clothes, stamped his feet, then took off his shoes and walked in on the floor.
Fang Jun was sitting cross-legged in front of the coffee table by the window, drinking tea. When he saw the general, he stood up and wanted to salute. He saw Li Tai waving his hand, walked quickly and sat down, and said: "Pour me a cup of tea."
Fang Jun sat down, took a teacup, boiled it with hot water, rinsed it slightly, and poured a cup of tea.
Li Tai picked up the tea cup, drank the hot tea in three sips, and then took a long breath: "The hot soup goes into the throat, warms the heart and lungs, refreshes the mind, and leaves the teeth and cheeks fragrant! A cup of hot tea is better than delicacies,
Erlang will really enjoy it when he looks out the window and sees his chest on full display."
Before Fang Jun could respond, he complained to himself: "Everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River is nice, but the weather is really uncomfortable. It has been raining for so many days, and the bedding and clothes are always damp.
It doesn't look cold when you can hold water out of your hands, but the cold and humid air penetrates directly into the cracks of people's bones. It's not as good as the cold wind in Guanzhong cutting the face like knives. At least the room is warm!"
Although winter is colder in Guanzhong, the gaps in doors and windows are sealed, and earth dragons are burned in the house. In recent years, fire pits have been popularized, and even a pot of incense charcoal is burned, which is even warmer than spring.
But in this land in the south of the Yangtze River, even the air seems to contain moisture, especially on this rainy day. Even if charcoal is burned in the main hall, you can't feel any warmth...
Fang Jun held the pot and refilled the tea cup, and said with a smile: "Your Highness's tone was full of complaints, but why did I not feel the slightest bit of frustration from His Highness's brows? Instead, there seemed to be uncontrollable emotions flowing from the corners of his brows and eyes.
The joyful look?”
"Haha! He is indeed a world-renowned master of poetry. His ability to observe subtle details is rare in the world!"
Li Tai smiled proudly, picked up the teacup and took a sip. After putting down the teacup, he turned sideways and saluted Fang Jun seriously, saying: "I have gained a lot this time, all thanks to Erlang. This kind of friendship is worthless."
It’s unforgettable, I know that Erlang has a broad mind and a magnificent talent, so I don’t say much nonsense like gratitude, only one sentence, I will repay you later!”
This time, he shamelessly asked Fang Jun to accompany him south, just to accept the compensation for Fang Jun's property and goods from the Jiangnan nobles, and made Fang Jun go through a narrow escape. He should have felt guilty, but the clinker made everyone in the family panic.
They rushed to their own side to camp, trying to persuade them to speak to them, so that Fang Jun would not be so angry that he would not hesitate to take revenge, and the money and silk that came from it would be like a car.
Made a huge fortune.
I must feel guilty, after all, there was no need for Fang Jun to go south in the first place, but even the prince couldn't help but be moved when he saw the money presented by the nobles, and he was really happy.
Fang Jun sighed and said: "This is the way the world is, and there is no fairness at all. Some people are as poor as a bucket of water and don't know the taste of meat for three months in their lives. Some people are born rich and well-clothed. Why don't they eat minced meat? Some people are sharp and sharp.
They almost die and suffer unforeseen disasters throughout their lives, but some people are lucky enough to be lucky enough to enjoy their success and have a warehouse full of gold and silver... Tsk, tsk, tsk, the "Tao Te Ching" says that the heaven and the earth are unkind and treat all living things as suckers, and that all living beings should be equal and have no distinction between each other... It's pure nonsense.
"
Li Tai behaved when he got an advantage and said sternly: "Hey, you can't slander the saint for no reason. You have to think about this problem in reverse. Although I have received a large amount of money now, you have also gained a lot from me."
The king’s sincere feelings. Money is an external thing and comes and goes like floating clouds, but the friendship between people can last forever and be renewed for a lifetime, which cannot be forgotten. It can be seen that you have gained much more than I.
"
Fang Jun stared and exclaimed: "Wei Chen has never seen such a shameless person!"
It's nothing more than quibbling, but you can still ramble like this. Li Tai, can you please show some respect?
No matter how thick-skinned Li Tai was, he couldn't help but blush at this moment, coughed dryly, spread his hands and said: "Look at what you said, it seems that I am really shameless... But then again, this time you narrowly escaped death.
, do you really not intend to pursue these Jiangnan nobles?"
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and said: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, I am deeply indignant at being assassinated this time. Although there have been many court battles since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the monarch and his ministers have been in agreement, and the government and the opposition have been harmonious."
, such a heinous and heinous thing has never happened. If everyone follows the same example, no matter whether the victory or defeat in a struggle is won or lost, they place their hopes on secret actions. If things go on like this, won't it make people panic and separate the monarch and his ministers? This is a sign of the destruction of the country.
! But having said that, most of the Jiangnan nobles were implicated this time, and they were actually innocent. If the ministers were to take revenge indiscriminately, some people would inevitably suffer unreasonable disasters. What is particularly important is that Jiangnan is a big country.
Tang Dynasty was a land rich in money and grain, and the annual tax payment accounted for the majority of the country. When the Eastern Expedition was about to begin, how could a humble official cause turmoil in the entire Jiangnan due to his own selfish interests, thereby affecting the tax collection and disrupting His Majesty's mission?
The great cause of the Eastern Expedition?"
Then he let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "How can personal grudges override the interests of the empire? Although Wei Chen has not read a few saints' whispers, he also knows the right way in the world. This time he will take advantage of those guys.
, I just want to give them a rip-off and let them cut off a little bit of flesh, hoping they can remember the pain."
The rain pattered outside the window and the cold air hit his face, but Li Tai felt energetic and a free flow of air surged in his chest.
He rolled up his sleeves and refilled the tea cup in front of Fang Jun with his own hand. He said seriously: "Erlang's mind is far beyond that of many heroes in the world! This sentence, 'Personal grudges must not override the interests of the empire',
It really makes people feel enlightened and excited! If everyone can regard the interests of the empire as supreme as Erlang does, our Tang Dynasty will surely sweep across the world and reappear the character of a strong man. All the people in the world are our soil, and we will lead the land.
, all belong to my subjects!”
Fang Jun also felt that there was a kind of long-lost blood surging in his body, as if he had returned to the "angry youth" years he had experienced in his previous life. He simply raised his tea cup and said loudly: "The humble minister will use tea instead of wine to respect the Tang Dynasty.
For thousands of years, we will rule the world!"
"What a man who will rule the world for thousands of years! If my father hears this sentence here, he will definitely set up the sky and make it clear!"
"Your Highness, please!"
"Drinking Saint!"
He clinked the teacups and drank it all in one gulp, regardless of how hot the tea was.
This is the case between men. Sometimes when the mood is high, even the smallest thing may cause strong resonance. Who doesn't have a dream in his heart to work hard to build a strong country and strong army?
No matter how time has changed and the world has changed, even if the nation that once stood at the top of the world has been bullied and the land of China is covered with desolation, there will still be a group of passionate young people who throw their heads and shed blood for a vague goal.
Warm-blooded, no regrets, can learn from the sky!
The muscles and bones of the strong Han Dynasty and the charm of the prosperous Tang Dynasty have long been engraved in the soul of this nation. Recalling the glory of the past has long been the driving force for every Chinese descendant to sacrifice their lives for righteousness and move forward indomitably.
