Strictly speaking, Fang Jun cannot represent the interests and tendencies of the entire Fang family, at least not completely, because he is not the eldest son.
Even though Fang Jun's official title and meritorious status are far better than Fang Yizhi's now, the eldest son is the eldest son. The set of rules of "clan inheritance" passed down for thousands of years are destined to be the whole family no matter when.
The head of the Fang family is still succeeded by the eldest son. Even if Fang Jun becomes the emperor, you will not be able to become the patriarch of the royal family.
Of course, precisely because of the legal principle of "ancestral succession", under normal circumstances the emperor will not allow the existence of "eldest sons" other than himself. For any emperor, as long as he is not the eldest son, then
In order to secure the throne after he ascends the throne, he must also kill off the lineage of his eldest son who has a higher status than his.
Therefore, Jin Wang Li Zhi's idea is indeed very naive. Once he ascends to the throne, the lives of the prince's family will not be maintained solely by so-called brotherhood. The reality will leave him with no choice, whether active or passive.
, there is only one result...
At this moment, Fang Xuanling stood in front of the gate, saluted the prince Li Chengqian solemnly, and said such words, which represented the Fang family's attitude to everyone, that is, to support the prince to the end.
.
This is a statement with almost no room for change, because from now on, the Fang family can only be tied to the prince, and they will both prosper and suffer. If the king of Jin really goes against it and seizes it in the future, then the Fang family must be thoroughly dealt with.
Suppress it, so that you can stabilize your throne.
At this point, the Fang family was completely ruined.
How could Li Chengqian not understand the meaning of Fang Xuanling's move? Not only did he express his loyalty to himself, but he also used it to send a positive message to the outside world - our Fang family has done everything we can to support the prince, leaving no trace behind.
There's no way out, it's up to you.
With the current momentum and strength of the Fang family, the impact of this statement must be extremely far-reaching. Not only will some neutrals be affected by the Fang family's determination, but even those who are currently on the side of King Jin will have to re-
Evaluate the pros and cons between the crown prince and the king of Jin. Otherwise, why would the Fang family be so determined?
It is conceivable that Fang Xuanling's words will definitely cause violent shocks in the court after today...
After all, he is the wise prime minister of the country. With a single gift and a few words, he can stir up the wind in the court and shake the hearts of the officialdom. This ability to do things lightly not only made Li Chengqian sincerely admire him, but also moved him in his heart.
This is not just support, but recognition!
With Fang Xuanling's approval, who would dare to say that Li Chengqian is not worthy of being the crown prince? I'm afraid even the emperor will have to think twice and have some reservations when talking about such topics in the future.
Li Chengqian helped Fang Xuanling up, then straightened his clothes, bowed his hands to the ground with the courtesy of a junior, and said emotionally: "Prime Minister Fang has worked hard for the country, and is a loyal man. He is actually the pillar of the country, and he will be known for thousands of years! I am the only heir to the throne."
In my name, I would like to express my gratitude to Prime Minister Fang for his hard work for the empire over the years. The Fang family is a loyal and loyal family and will rest with the country!"
There were no fewer than dozens of guests gathered in front of the entire house, but there was silence at the moment.
Although His Highness the Crown Prince's words were a compliment to Fang Xuanling for his contributions over the years, they were actually a promise made in the name of the Crown Prince - since the Fang family is loyal to me, I am not a mean and ungrateful person.
As long as I can keep this crown of prince, the descendants of the Fang family will be rich and prosperous, and they will live together with the country!
These guests don't show it on their faces, but in their hearts they are really envious of the treatment the Fang family has received. This is not something that anyone can get by publicly expressing their support. Since Li Chengqian said these words in public today, it will definitely spread.
It's okay if he can't keep the position of the prince. Once he successfully ascends the throne in the future, he must fulfill today's promise. No matter what happens to the Fang family, he must be extremely gracious. It can be said that as long as the Fang family does not rebel, then he can serve the court from generation to generation.
The first honor.
Who could not be envious of such a commitment?
What's more, although the King of Jin has suddenly emerged, he has the right to be the prince and has a relatively stable team. He still has a good chance of winning to this day, so the weight of this promise is even more extraordinary.
Fang Xuanling bent down to help Li Chengqian up, and said with a smile: "Everyone in my Fang family is loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and loyal to the country. Every male in the Fang family is willing to go through fire and water for the future of the empire, even if they die!"
"
After expressing his gesture, the topic turned back to the business of the day: "Your Highness is here, the humble abode is full of splendor, and some wine has been prepared at the house. Please come in and have a drink together."
Li Chengqian held Fang Xuanling's hand and laughed and said: "Fangfu's fine wine has long been famous all over the world, and everyone knows about it. Today, just in time for Fangfu's happy event, I opened it and drank it, and I got drunk!"
"
Then, surrounded by the Fang family, he entered the mansion.
A brilliant "political show" came to a perfect conclusion, and the meaning expressed was enough to shock the Chang'an officialdom for a long time.
More than that…
After Li Chengqian entered the mansion, Fang Jun accompanied him and said a few words. Because he had the task of welcoming guests, he left in a hurry, leaving Fang Xuanling to accompany him.
Fang Jun came to the front door to greet the guests. Before he arrived, he saw Ma Zhou and Li Daozong arriving hand in hand. Fang Jun hurried forward to greet them and greeted each other. Fang Jun said with a smile: "You two distinguished guests, please come in first and wait until after the wedding."
, I will have a few drinks with the two of you."
Li Daozong laughed: "Although we are different in age and generation, we have always been friends. Today, Erlang has to stand in front of the door to greet the happy event. He is hungry and cold, but his smiling face is always with him. How can I do it?
Turn a blind eye and sit quietly? Come, come, I will welcome the guests with you."
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment. Before he could recover, Ma Zhou on the side also laughed and said: "Erlang and I are in love. It's not that brothers are better than brothers. How can the king of Jiangxia County be more beautiful than him? In this hall,
The house is full of guests, and I think I’m feeling very depressed, so I might as well welcome the guests here with Erlang.”
Both of them were wearing regular clothes, elegant and neat. They stood on both sides of the door with smiles on their faces. When they saw the guests, they greeted them with smiles and exchanged greetings. Then they were led into the courtyard by the servants of the house.
In the middle, go to the main hall.
If he was a stranger who didn't recognize him, who would dare to think that he was an important minister with great power in the court?
Fang Jun thought about it and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It was originally just an ordinary happy event for the Fang family, but with the performance in front of the prince's door, Li Daozong, and Ma Zhou acting as welcome guests, it has turned into a press conference for the East Palace to declare its strength and attitude to the outside world.
Obviously, from Prince Li Chengqian to Ma Zhou, Li Daozong and others, they have all noticed the extremely unstable undercurrent in the court, and are even more aware of the dangers contained in it. However, these are all determined people.
We will definitely not shrink back or even change our family because of the crisis ahead. For the sake of the ideals in our hearts, everyone chooses to unite and be strong to the outside world.
This is both a warning and a deterrent.
Anyone who dares to act recklessly should consider the consequences of the entire East Palace's efforts to fight back!
Will His Majesty Li Er sit back and watch some people break through the bottom line? If the bottom line is broken, causing the entire court to be in turmoil, what kind of reaction will it trigger? When the tacit consent of the struggle for the throne turns into a real assassination, massacre, and then
Where will it lead the entire empire?
The most important thing is that even if some people really want to break through the bottom line, please weigh it. Do they have the capital to break through the bottom line?
This was the attitude that the entire East Palace collectively conveyed to the outside world from the time Li Chengqian arrived until Li Daozong and Ma Zhou welcomed guests at the door.
It can also be said that from this moment on, whether in the East Palace or the Jin Palace, all the previous low-key forbearance no longer exists. The two sides have put the competition for reserves on the table, becoming the most mainstream struggle in the entire empire!
And all of this happened after Fang Jun was repeatedly assassinated. From another perspective, this was also the efforts made by the entire East Palace force to protect Fang Jun. Although this method actually violated His Majesty Li Er.
The will of the government prematurely plunged the government into turmoil, but the results achieved must also be outstanding and effective.
That's how it is with some things. No matter how dirty and dirty things are behind the scenes, it's all under the sun and in the shadows. Others can't see it, so you can naturally do whatever you want. But once it comes to the surface, in full view of the public, many tricks can be used.
It cannot be used again, otherwise it will cause public outrage and everyone will cry for beatings.
Now that the struggle for the throne is on the table, both sides are evenly matched and each has his own master. If anyone continues to engage in those shameful assassination methods as in the past, he will challenge the order of the Tang Dynasty, ignore the majesty of the emperor, and then become the enemy of the entire world.
