When Princess Changle saw Fang Jun's expression, she immediately asked in confusion: "I just said that you didn't mean to interfere with Si Zi's marriage, and now you look like this again, what on earth do you want to do?"
Fang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "How could I have such thoughts? I just feel that Wei Zhengju is not suitable for His Highness Jinyang. He is not a good match."
Historically, although Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi later overturned his previous determination and allowed Wei Zhengju to be buried together with Princess Xincheng, this did not necessarily mean there was no political compromise.
Li Zhi was by no means an impulsive and reckless person. He could even be said to be extremely calm and foresighted. He was able to determine that the death of Princess Xincheng was related to Wei Zhengju. He sentenced her to death and exiled her relatives. How could he rely solely on conjecture without any evidence?
?It may not be pure to later overturn the previous determination.
You need to know that at that time, Gaozong Li Zhi had completely overthrown the Changsun family. The Guanlong nobles who had been entrenched in Guanzhong for hundreds of years fell apart. There was a brief vacuum period in the power class in the court. Shandong aristocratic families and Jiangnan gentry took the opportunity to rise and seize power.
The court was getting out of control.
Li Zhi was eager to rely on the help of Wei, Du in Jingzhao, Pei, Xue, Liu and other families in Hedong to control the government and control the rule. As an emperor, he cannot act according to his own likes and dislikes, so he can "rehabilitate"
Wei Zhengju is extremely unacceptable.
In short, Wei Zhengju is inextricably linked to the death of Princess Xincheng.
How could Fang Jun allow such a person to marry Princess Jinyang? In his heart, Princess Jinyang is more appropriately called a daughter than a sister-in-law. That is something he is not willing to let her suffer at all.
…
Princess Changle frowned and looked at Fang Jun suspiciously, trying to tell whether his words were true or not. Was Wei Zhengju really not a good match, or he simply didn't want Si Zi to get married...
But seeing Fang Jun's solemn face, he knew that he was overthinking.
This man is indeed not an upright gentleman, but he is also definitely not a villain who says what he says and means what he means. Since he said that Wei Zhengju is not a good match, he must have a legitimate and sufficient reason.
"But this marriage was mentioned by Sister Dongyang. In the palace, Concubine Yang, Concubine Yan, and Concubine Wei all nodded in agreement, and they are waiting to be informed about it in writing. It stands to reason that the Jingzhao Wei family is a famous family with a profound background.
, and I have never gotten involved with the Guanlong nobles, so once I get the consent from all the concubines, my father will generally not refuse."
Princess Changle was a little worried.
Fang Jun naturally knew that what she said was true.
The saying "Weidu in the south of the city, go to Tianchiwu" has been circulated since the Han Dynasty, and it is still mentioned by people today.
During the Han Dynasty, Wei Xian, a native of Zou County, Lu State, was known as the "Zou Lu Great Confucian". He was not only proficient in "Li" and "Shang Shu", but also passed down "Lu Poems", giving birth to Wei's "Lu Poems" school, which laid the foundation for the family
Confucian classics tradition. After Wei Xian was recruited as a doctor, he served as the tutor of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. He also served as the official Guanglu, Zhan Shi, and Dahonglu.
After the death of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Wei Xian, Huo Guang and others jointly honored Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to succeed him to the throne. They were given the title of Marquis of Guannei and appointed as the Shaofu of Changxin. In the third year of this period, Wei Xian was promoted to prime minister and granted the title of Marquis of Fuyang.
Pour for a while.
Wei Xian had four sons. Except for the third son Wei Shun, who stayed in the Zou Lu Shou family tomb, the other sons moved to Pingling in Chang'an. The fourth son Wei Xuancheng later inherited the title of Marquis of Fuyang and served successively as Taichang, Shaofu, Prince Taifu, and so on.
In the second year of Yongguang's reign, he was appointed as the prime minister and moved to Duling, Chang'an.
Wei Xuancheng's nephew, Wei Shang, was promoted to the rank of Grand Sima Cavalry General and was granted the title of Marquis of the Pass because he served as the Taifu during the reign of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty and King Dingtao. There were more than ten people in the clan who served as officials of the first level of 2,000 shi.
Jingzhao Wei's father and son were prime ministers in the Western Han Dynasty. They were granted the title of marquis for four generations and became a famous wealthy family in the pass.
Since the Han and Wei dynasties, the Guanlong area has been the source of Han traditional culture. Especially since the chaos in the late Jin Dynasty, many literati and lofty ideals have taken refuge here. The Hu people from the north have occupied the Central Plains with a small number. In order to maintain their long-term rule,
Whether militarily or politically, they relied on the Han people who constituted the majority of the population. They must first and foremost gain cultural identity with the landlord class in the Guanlong area and establish a solid political and military alliance with them.
This is the development trajectory of Guanlong Group.
It was under this historical background that the so-called four surnames in Guanzhong emerged - Jingzhao Wei's family, Hedong Xue family, Hedong Pei family, and Hedong Liu family. These were the main gentry leaders in the Guanzhong area from the Han and Wei dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
The area has great reputation and roots.
His Majesty Li Er suppressed the Guanlong nobles, but he also guarded against the Shandong aristocratic families and the Jiangnan gentry. Under such circumstances, supporting the "four surnames in Guanzhong" became a political necessity.
By marrying Jingzhao Weishi, he can gain the support of the entire Guanzhong gentry.
Moreover, Fang Jun knew that in history, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi also supported the "Four Surnames of Guanzhong" under such circumstances, making Jingzhao Weishi become part of the "Li Wuwei Yang" group. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, Jingzhao Weishi had reached the peak of family prosperity.
At the peak, there were nearly twenty people from official to prime minister levels!
Under such circumstances, how could His Majesty Li Er disagree with Princess Jinyang's marriage to Wei Zhengju?
Fang Jun had a headache and drank the warm rice wine in his glass in one gulp.
Princess Changle naturally understood Fang Jun's temperament and warned: "Of course I know that you love Si Zi, but she still has to get married after all. It's not Wei Zhengju today, and there will be others tomorrow. You can't look down on everyone."
, so you are messing with Huang, right? My father will decide this matter. You must not interfere, let alone cause trouble for Wei Zhengju, otherwise my father will never spare you."
This Bangchui dotes on Si Zi. If he really dislikes Wei Zhengju, he might go and beat Wei Zhengju severely, and then warn the Wei family to quickly give up the idea of Princess Shang...
Fang Jun was speechless: "Is Wei Chen such an unreasonable and reckless person?"
Princess Changle raised her eyebrows lightly: "Aren't you?"
To this day, there are still rumors circulating inside and outside Guanzhong that this man was going to assassinate Qiu Shenji, who was going to propose marriage to his father, in order to "occupy" her...
Fang Jun was very angry and glared: "If I really are that kind of person, how can I sit down and drink with His Highness so honestly and politely at this moment, but restrain my hands and pretend to be serious in front of the person I like? I'm afraid I have lost my patience a long time ago.
Come on, cook the raw rice into cooked rice!"
"Pooh!"
Princess Changle's cheeks were dizzy and she was so embarrassed that she spat: "What nonsense are you talking about? We are talking about Sizi's marriage, don't involve me!"
This man is becoming more and more lawless, and I don’t know how long my own reserve can last under his attack...
After saying a few more words, Fang Jun drank the rice wine in the pot, ate a bowl of rice, and put down his chopsticks.
Princess Changle had a small appetite, so she was eating with Fang Jun. When she saw him finishing, she put down her chopsticks, called the maid in to clean up, boiled a pot of water, made a pot of tea, and sat in front of the window listening to the wind and rain.
The sound is very pleasant.
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and said: "This Wei Zhengju has a good reputation, but the ministers rarely interact with him. He is famous and has never met him. I have nothing to do these days. I want to find someone to find out about this guy and get him together. If there is any inaccuracy in some of the information, please inform His Highness. Princess Jinyang is His Highness’ biological sister, so you can’t watch her fall into a pit of fire, right?”
Princess Changle was holding a tea cup, sitting casually but with her back straight and very dignified. She frowned when she heard this and said: "You already have a preconceived idea in your heart that Wei Zhengju is not a good person. How can you treat Wei Zhengju fairly and justly?"
She was worried that Fang Jun would mess up.
With Fang Jun's current status and power, despite Jingzhao Wei's deep connections and broad roots, if he really wanted to mess with Wei Zhengju, the other party would have no power to fight back.
The emperor's father is on an expedition in Liaodong, and there is almost no one in Chang'an who can restrain Fang Jun. When this guy starts to act up, no one can stop him, and Wei Zhengju is afraid that he will be in trouble...
Fang Jun made a sound and said with dissatisfaction: "Your Highness, you can't always regard Wei Chen as such a wanton and reckless playboy. After all, we are also a generation of famous ministers with excellent poetry and unparalleled merits. For example, Wei Chen admires His Highness in his heart, and wishes he could We work together with Fei, but we are always able to observe etiquette, and there is never any rudeness. We just wait infatuatedly for His Highness to show mercy..."
Princess Changle was so embarrassed that she secretly thought that this guy started talking nonsense again, her eyes were a little wandering, her face was red, and she said softly: "It's getting late, Duke Yue had better leave early, otherwise the city gates will be closed later. "
Fang Jun admired the beauty's beauty from a close distance, and his heart was about to move. He swallowed and said, "Your Highness really doesn't leave any servants behind?"
His eyes were hot and aggressive.
Has Princess Changle ever encountered such a scene?
Suppressing the shyness in his heart, he slowly shook his head and said in a voice like a gnat: "I can't do it today..."
Not today?
Fang Jun felt a rush of blood rush to his head and grabbed Princess Changle's delicate hand...
