What His Majesty Li Er fears most is that the prince is ignorant of the general situation and will destroy the current stable and good situation. This will lead to many difficulties in the Eastern Expedition, which will further affect the hidden dangers of eradicating Goguryeo, the Tang Empire, and even affect his creation of unparalleled achievements.
Promoted to the title of "Eternal Emperor"!
Since the prince and Fang Jun were able to understand their thoughts, they nodded happily and said, "What the prince said is true. Our Tang Dynasty treats its meritorious officials well, and I am willing to share the wealth and honor with my past merits. How can I be so harsh without any real evidence?"
Where is a meritorious service? The so-called search into the government is over. However, the remarks of the Duke of Yue are not without merit. Allowing this batch of stolen weapons to wander among the people is always a hidden danger. Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment should send more manpower
, the pursuit of the whereabouts, no matter who is involved, must be investigated to the end! "
"Here!"
Jingzhao Yin Ma Zhou and the Minister of Punishment Zhang Liang hurriedly came out to lead the order.
His Majesty Li Er looked around and was in a good mood, so he said with a smile: "Let's end it here for today. After the next court, all the dear friends will go home to prepare New Year's goods and celebrate the festival. Oh, by the way, the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month is
It's a happy event for Fang's family. If you all have nothing to do, you can come to celebrate with me, or ask Fang Aiqing for a glass of water and wine."
The "Fang Aiqing" in his mouth is naturally Fang Xuanling, but he would not call Fang Jun "Aiqing"...
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty naturally agreed with a bang. Although Fang Xuanling took office, he did not stay away from the court. When His Majesty encountered difficulties from time to time, he either summoned Fang Xuanling into the palace to ask for advice, or came to ask for advice in person. He was never isolated from the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to the central authority, let alone Fang Jun to inherit his mantle.
Although people have left, the tea has not cooled yet.
Now that the third son of the Fang family is marrying the Lu family of Fan Yang, how can everyone not come to celebrate? In fact, even before the twelfth lunar month, the Fang family has already begun to receive congratulatory gifts from the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government, filling the warehouse of the mansion...
*****
In the evening, Taichang Shaoqing Zhang Dun returned to the mansion angrily.
Taichang Temple does not have a strong sense of presence in normal times, because many things in the government office ultimately need to be reviewed and drafted by the Ministry of Etiquette. The degree of autonomy is not high, but the rights and responsibilities are not small. But now at the end of the year, the Chinese New Year is about to come, and the suburbs
The rituals of the society, the inspection of the mausoleum, the holding of the large and small temples, the sacrifices, the sacrifices, the coins and jade, the wine, the recommendations, the different utensils and clothes, etc. are countless and complicated.
Allowing for the slightest negligence, the entire Taichang Temple has been busy preparing for war since the winter months, without even having time to take a breath.
Today, at the court meeting, the Minister of Taichang Temple came to the palace to meet His Majesty. As a young minister, he became the chief official of Taichang Temple. He had to make decisions on all matters by himself, and he was so busy that he hit the back of his head with his feet.
However, a few jokes from his colleagues during lunch made all his fatigue disappear, leaving only the rising anger.
After entering the mansion, the maids and servants came forward to salute. When they saw the master's gloomy face, which seemed to be about to squeeze out water and turn into frost, they were so frightened that they dared not speak.
Straight into the main hall, Zhang Dun shouted to the servant who came to serve, "Where is the second lady?"
Zhang Dun said: "Call this evil beast to me immediately!"
The servant hurriedly responded and hurried to the backyard, first notifying the wife, and then notifying the second young lady in the mansion who was not yet married.
When the flustered Madam Cui and the anxious Second Miss Zhang Xiu'er came to the main hall, they saw Zhang Dun sitting on a chair drinking tea. The tea was probably too hot and burned his mouth. In anger, he slammed the tea cup on the table.
on the ground, and then kept inhaling, looking angry and embarrassed...
"What's wrong? Could it be that you got angry in the yamen and went home to take it out on us ladies?"
The Cui family was born in the Boling Cui family. Although she was not the legitimate daughter, Zhang Dun was not the direct son of the Zhang family in Jiangdong. With the Boling Cui family's prominent family background and the traditional custom of the Tang Dynasty in which women did not give way to men, it would not be like this.
A girl from a small household is so submissive.
Zhang Dun said angrily: "I am angry? I am indeed angry, but it is not because of the Yamen matter, but because of this evil obstacle!"
Staring at his slender and delicate daughter, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
The already petite Zhang Xiuer was so frightened that her delicate body trembled, her neck shrank, and her whole body was about to wilt...
"You old man, did you take the wrong medicine and make your daughter crazy?"
Mrs. Cui glared at Zhang Dun, took her daughter's hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Xiu'er, your mother makes the decision for you, no one can bully you!"
Although this girl was not born to her, the unlucky girl fell ill after giving birth to her daughter, and passed away within two years. This girl was the one who used to urinate every time, and her feelings were no better than her own.
My married daughter is a bit younger, and she is always very doting on her.
"oh……"
Zhang Xiu'er responded softly, was held by Mrs. Cui's hand, and sat on a chair. She secretly glanced at her angry father, and her heart went crazy.
Could it be because of that thing again...
As a result, he was afraid of what he was going to do. When the servants came up to clean up the pieces of the tea cup and retreated, Zhang Dun pointed at Zhang Xiuer and angrily said: "My daughter should be obedient to the three virtues and be gentle, virtuous and clean. Even if she doesn't leave the front door, she won't leave the second door."
, but you can’t go out to have a tryst with a wild man, right? It’s good now that your trivial affair has already become a common news in the streets, and is even being talked about in the city, so I’ve completely lost my face by you!”
He was so frightened that Zhang Xiuer started to cry.
On the one hand, I have never seen my father so angry with me, and on the other hand, I heard that the incident between me and Fang Yize has been spread everywhere. My daughter’s family is always shy, so they must be boring idle guys.
I don’t know how to arrange it. How will I meet people in the future?
However, Mrs. Cui quickly comforted her daughter, her beautiful eyes widened, and she said angrily: "How can there be any reason to talk to my daughter like this? What is going on?"
Naturally, she knew that her daughter and the third man of the Fang family fell in love at first sight and met secretly in private. The husband was so angry about this two days ago that he went to the Fang family in person to cause a scene. Originally, it was just
Wanting to seek justice and an explanation, they dropped the matter. After all, the Fang family's courtyard was not something they could shape or flatten at will.
But why did this become such a big deal in the blink of an eye?
Zhang Dun was so angry that his face turned red, he slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "Today at noon, I was having dinner in the Yamen. Many colleagues talked about this matter, and they even teased me, saying that a concubine climbed up to the Fang family.
This high branch is the creation of Zhang Dun. With the support of the Duke of Yue, I am afraid that it will not take a few days to take the position of Taichang Qing... Zhang Dun has been upright and honest all his life. How can I still do this when I am old?
How do you get a promotion and make a fortune by selling your daughter? It really pisses me off!"
Cui asked curiously: "How did this matter spread?"
Only a few people in the mansion knew about this matter, and they were all close servants. There was absolutely no reason to spread the word to ruin the reputation of the girl in the family.
As for the Fang family...
Zhang Dun was also very depressed: "The prime minister is a gentle gentleman, as humble as jade. There is no way he would do such a bad thing. Besides, I heard that after I left that day, the prime minister beat Sanlang half to death, and he was still the second bedroom.
After returning home, I begged hard and finally gave up. How did this matter get spread?"
Fang Xuanling's character is guaranteed. He has been in the imperial court for more than ten years, and his character is well-known by everyone. Even Changsun Wuji, who has always been at odds with him, has never said anything about Fang Xuanling.
Even if you retire now, you should cherish your feathers and protect your reputation. How can you do such a despicable thing?
Mrs. Cui held her crying daughter in her arms and had no choice but to advise: "Mr. Lang, please don't be angry. Xiu'er and Sanlang of the Fang family are both young admirers. It is normal for each other to have feelings for each other. Aren't we also from this age?"
…”
Zhang Dun suddenly glared and said, "What do you mean by this? Could it be that you had a good husband back then, and you finally had no choice but to marry into the Zhang family? Have you ever contacted that person behind my back in so many years?"
"What...are you talking nonsense about?"
Mrs. Cui was so angry that her face turned red, she slapped the table with her palms, and said angrily: "I'm just saying that at young Mu Ai's age, as long as he doesn't do anything over the top, it's fine. Now that she knows she can't be with that person
When Fang Sanlang gets married, he will naturally give up this thought. If you go to someone's house to make trouble in person, you are ignorant and narrow-minded!"
Zhang Dun was so depressed that he covered his forehead and said, "Now I feel a little regretful, but now that the matter has come to this, what can I do now?"
If this kind of thing spreads, the woman will suffer a loss after all. If she wants to find a good marriage for her daughter in the future, she may face many difficulties.
Seeing his daughter crying, he became more and more irritable, so he simply got up and went back to the bedroom and fell asleep.
The next morning, I got up, washed up, had breakfast, and was about to go out to the Yamen for duty. A servant came to report that the Duke of Song and the Duke of Yue were coming to visit...
