"Not necessarily?" Changsun Wuji was so angry that his blood almost bleeds back, and he cursed: "That guy seems to be reckless, but in fact he is very careful and cunning. Otherwise, why do you think I have suffered at his hands so many times in these years? You know it's unintentional.
If he is alerted by his words and takes action, it is very likely that my eldest grandson's family will be plunged into a situation that is beyond redemption!"
Wang Zhixuan finally got scared and said in a panic: "This...can't be right? My great-nephew just blurted out for a moment. Did he tell me about Saburo's trip to Damascus...Oops."
Before he finished speaking, Changsun Wuji slapped him in the face. He was so angry that his hair and beard were all bald. He cursed with his halberd fingers: "How dare you talk nonsense! How can you talk about such things? Even if you die, you have to
Let me rot in my stomach!"
"Yes, yes, my uncle taught me that my grandnephew will never dare to do it again."
Wang Zhixuan covered his face with one hand and his head with the other. He was so aggrieved that he burst into tears, but he did not dare to argue any more.
He thought to himself that if we didn't regard him as a member of the eldest son's family, and we would all suffer from the same enemy, how could we have such great hatred towards Fang Jun? If we didn't have such great hatred, how could we act impulsively?
What kind of threatening words could you say?
Besides, I just said that. Could it be that Fang Jun is a roundworm in my stomach, so he can guess all the plots of the Changsun family behind the scenes?
Then he would be like Zhuge resurrected and Sima reincarnated...
*****
On the other side, Fang Jun watched the carriage that Changsun Wuji was riding in hurried away, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and his heart jumped for no reason.
The man just now was able to wait in the gatehouse inside Chengtianmen as a follower when Changsun Wuji went to court. He was obviously a close confidant of Changsun Wuji. These people saw him provoking Changsun Wuji and protecting the Lord.
Don't make any verbal threats when you are so anxious. Even if you seriously challenge yourself to a life-and-death fight, it would not be surprising.
In this era, "the master humiliates his ministers to death", and as a servant, it often happens that he will be bloodied for the sake of the face of the family master.
But no matter how Fang Jun looked at it, the man's threatening words didn't seem like casual remarks...
But why can he think that my death is imminent?
At this moment, Fang Jun's mind was spinning wildly, thinking carefully about where he had any flaws that could endanger his family and life. However, after much deliberation, he couldn't figure it out.
His Majesty Li Er has great trust in him. Even if he inadvertently makes a big mistake, as long as it is not a mortal sin such as conspiracy to usurp the throne, it will never make His Majesty Li Er have murderous intentions. And now, when he comes in and out, there are many times.
Ten, at least ten or more personal soldiers will protect you. Unless your opponent mobilizes an army to surround you, who can kill you?
There is no internal crisis.
So this "death is imminent" method comes from the outside.
However, due to his high achievements in the past two years, he has already aroused the envy, jealousy, and even rejection to a certain extent by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Therefore, he can only sit on the sidelines in national battles such as the Eastern Expedition and cannot participate in them to gain merit.
He could only stay in Chang'an to assist the prince in supervising the country.
Without leaving Chang'an, who can let him "end his life"?
…
"Erlang, why are you standing here?"
Behind him, Li Ji and Ma Zhou surrounded Li Chengqian as he walked out of Chengtian Gate. When he saw Fang Jun standing in front of the door with his hands behind his hands, his eyebrows furrowed in deep thought, he couldn't help but be surprised, so he stopped to ask.
Fang Jun came back to his senses, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I just met Zhao Guogong. The old man was too angry, so I advised him to cultivate his moral character to live longer, but the old man didn't appreciate it at all."
Several people were speechless.
Who doesn’t know that now Changsun Wuji wants to bite Fang Jun into pieces and swallow him to relieve the hatred in his heart? How are you advising people to cultivate their moral character and prolong their lives? It’s obvious that you want to piss them off because they live longer.
.
That is to say, Changsun Wuji, who is deep in the city, has a bad temper, and will fight you at any time...
Li Chengqian said helplessly: "After all, Duke Zhao is the pillar of the country and a meritorious veteran. Whether it is his past achievements or the face of his mother, even his father is very kind and tolerant to him. As juniors, no matter where we stand,
You have to give him enough respect no matter what. If he provokes you, that's it. You can fight back as you like, but he's just walking, so why be so aggressive?"
Fang Jun said with a smile: "It is not a minor minister who has to go to Zhao Guogong to find trouble. It is really a coincidence at that time. Enemies are on a narrow road. It is not appropriate not to quarrel with each other."
"..."
Li Chengqian was speechless.
Li Ji glared at Fang Jun from the side and said in a deep voice: "You can be regarded as an important minister of the imperial court now, so you have to have a stable appearance. How can you behave like a fool all day long? The prince is
You are a steady king with a benevolent personality. It would be extremely inappropriate for the outside world to slander you because of your swaggering temperament."
The first half of the sentence is completely nonsense, and besides, he also knows Fang Jun’s intention, and the second half of the sentence is the original intention.
Nowadays, the prince has always shown himself to be gentle and kind, but Fang Jun can now be regarded as the representative figure of the East Palace. Every word and deed represents the will of the prince. If he is still so aggressive and difficult to deal with, he will inevitably give others the title of "Prince".
"That's the same" impression.
This was very detrimental to the prince's ability to secure his position as heir apparent.
You know, the biggest advantage of the prince now is to show his "benevolence". Who doesn't like to think that the prince is in power, both civil and military, and in the public and private sectors? But if Fang Jun's consistent strength makes the prince's image of "any prince"
If you suffer damage, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Fang Jun naturally understood what Li Ji meant, nodded and said: "My nephew has learned a lesson, he will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
On the contrary, Li Chengqian was afraid that Fang Jun would be wronged, so he comforted him and said: "You don't have to be like this, a lonely person. It's good for outsiders to recognize him, but what can he do if he doesn't recognize him? Erlang is a middle-aged man and is upright.
We disdain things like being upright and pretentious."
Fang Jun glanced at Li Chengqian and nodded silently.
Say you are not impressed.
In fact, this is Li Chengqian's true temperament. As the eldest son of His Majesty Li Er, not only did he not inherit much of His Majesty Li Er's decisiveness and ruthlessness in killing, but he was more like a child of a well-educated family who lived a comfortable life.
Being taught by the great Confucian scholar of the time, Haosheng, his mind was full of "benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust", and he was a proper gentleman.
Suppose that if he and His Majesty Li Er were to change, and they also suffered a "Xuanwumen Incident", the choices of the father and son would be completely opposite...
Later, Li Chengqian's various "death-seeking" behaviors recorded in history books were either deliberately framed by later generations through generalizations, or they were the result of his near collapse of vent under heavy pressure.
After all, a man who was canonized as a prince at the age of eight and was praised and loved by people all over the world suddenly faced the competition among his brothers for the throne. His father was extremely partial, and his mother who was the most protective of him was suffering from illness.
Death, the gap is enough to make anyone collapse.
At the end of the day, I would rather rebel and accuse His Majesty Li Er: You single-handedly forced me to this point, and if I die, will you regret it?
As a result, no one knew that His Majesty Li Er did not regret it, but Li Zhi benefited from it. Then he swore to His Majesty Li Er that he would "treat his brothers and sisters well". After His Majesty Li Er's death, the brothers took over one after another.
A tragic death...
True benevolence and false righteousness are shrouded in the fog of history. Who can tell the truth?
However, Li Chengqian has a more straightforward personality, which is an undoubted fact.
Li Chengqian saw that Fang Jun was silent and even a little distracted, thinking that he had an opinion on Li Ji's words, so he wanted to change things a bit and suggested: "If you have nothing to do, why not go to the East Palace to sit down and play a few rounds of mahjong?"
how?"
Li Ji also felt that what he just said was a bit harsh. Although Fang Jun was his junior and the relationship between the two families was very good, after all, this guy was now the Duke of the country, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and a proper high official in the court.
Dude, there is something wrong with the way I still sound like I am scolding a junior.
Then he nodded and said: "That's right! It's freezing cold today, and there's no official business in the government office. I can't muster any energy. Playing a few rounds of mahjong and having a hot pot meal in the evening will be a fairy-like day.
! Otherwise, when the Eastern Expedition begins, everyone will never have a peaceful night's sleep."
Ma Zhou was all right, and just said: "It's okay to play mahjong, but the stakes should be smaller. Don't lose all your small salary from the official position, otherwise the whole family will go hungry throughout the first month."
Li Chengqian then laughed: "King Ma Bin is upright and upright, with a breeze on his sleeves, and is praised by both the government and the public! No problem, I will lend you my gambling capital today. If you win, you will pay interest, and if you lose, you will be alone!"
Fang Jun rubbed his palms and said excitedly: "It is said that King Qiuci paid tribute to a group of dancing girls years ago, all of whom are good at singing and dancing. During the dinner, His Highness should ask them to sing and dance to open the eyes of the ministers."
