Li Chongyi did not dare to vouch for asking for favors from Fang Jun.
Once that guy's temper breaks out, even Zhang Sun Wuji would dare to give him a hard blow. Li Chongyi really doesn't have much weight in people's eyes. If Li Xiaogong says something, it might be safer.
However, Li Xiaogong is far away in the Western Regions now and is beyond his reach.
Wei Ting said gratefully: "No matter what, Jingzhao Wei will inherit this favor from the crown prince."
How could he not know that Fang Jun is a tough guy who can change his face at any time? What's more, it also involves the issue of whether to suppress Jingzhao Webster, Fang Jun and Wei Zhengju's personal affairs, and the prince's relationship
With their official affairs getting mixed up, no one can guarantee that Fang Jun will be able to take a step back.
Li Chongyi stood up and said: "Without further delay, I will accompany Taichang Qing to the house. I also ask Taichang Qing and Wei Shixiong to wait for me to change clothes later."
Wei Ting and Wei Hongbiao said hurriedly: "There is no hurry, no hurry, the prince will just go."
When Li Chongyi entered the back hall, Wei Ting and Wei Hongbiao looked at each other, and both could see the depression and helplessness in the other's eyes.
Who would be willing to bend down and beg for help with a shy face like this unless they had no choice?
Jingzhao Weishi is indeed a wealthy family in Guanzhong, with a deep foundation and deep roots. However, its biggest shortcoming is that it does not have a strong person who can stand up to the scene and dominate the games between all parties.
Concubine Wei was indeed favored by His Majesty Li Er, and her status in the palace was also very high, but she was a woman after all, and her words could not reach the court.
We must devote all our efforts to cultivating a person who can stand up in court and speak out...
The uncle and nephew had their own thoughts. They were sitting in the hall, surrounded by maids from the county prince's palace. They did not dare to say much, and the atmosphere was very dull. Fortunately, Li Chongyi was a fastidious person. Since he had made up his mind to help intercede, he would not
He left the person to dry in the hall, quickly changed his clothes, came out to greet the two of them, and together they left the Prince's Mansion and headed to Fang's house in Chongrenfang.
When the disciples of the Fang family saw Wei Ting leaving and returning, and this time accompanied by Li Chongyi, they felt suspicious, but did not dare to delay, so they trotted forward.
There was no need for Wei Ting to say anything this time. Li Chongyi had already taken out his famous thorn and said: "Please come in and let me know. I will pay my respects to the Duke of Yue."
The disciple did not dare to accept the assassination, so he replied: "I would like to teach the prince to know that Erlang left the mansion this morning and has not returned until now."
As he was talking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Wei Ting behind Li Chongyi, thinking that this guy thought he had come to visit just now, and Erlang deliberately avoided seeing him, so he moved Li Chongyi out. This is really a villain's way of judging a gentleman.
The belly is full...
Li Chongyi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Wei Ting, and said to himself, didn't you say that Fang Jun was avoiding seeing me? Now that I'm here, as long as Fang Jun is at home, he will definitely not disappear. It seems that he is really not at home.
Wei Ting wondered whether he had misunderstood Fang Jun?
Then he said, "I wonder if my husband has gone to bed peacefully? If he hasn't gone to bed yet, can I pay my respects?"
That disciple's face darkened. He was just a disciple like us, a dolphin-like thing, but he still dared to talk nonsense and claim that the master of the family was not here?
However, the members of the Fang family are still quite qualified. Although the father and son of the Fang family are high-ranking and powerful, no one in the family dares to rely on their power to look down on others. So even if he felt unhappy, he still patiently replied: "Taichang Qing Mingjian
, the master of the house did go to the south of the Yangtze River a few days ago for a tour. The slaves are just a disciple, so we don’t dare to say anything false. Our family’s poems and books are handed down from generation to generation, and benevolence and righteousness are the foundation. What we pay attention to is loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust. Even if the slaves are like this
I don’t dare to violate family rules even if I don’t put things on the table.”
This is indeed very neatly said, but if we delve deeper into its meaning...
Wei Ting blushed a little.
The word "faith" means not only being honest and not lying, but also trusting others with a generous heart. Only in this way can we be a gentleman.
It seems like I was taught a lesson by a disciple...
Li Chongyi coughed dryly and asked, "I wonder who is in charge in this house?"
Menzi replied: "His Royal Highness is in the mansion."
Li Chongyi thought for a while and said: "In that case, I would like to ask you to come in and tell me that I am a humble minister paying homage to His Highness and that I have something to ask for."
He kept his posture very low.
Now that both father and son of the Fang family are away, whether they are deliberately avoiding it or not, it may be too late to find someone to intercede. Although Princess Gaoyang usually does not take care of things, her position in the palace is very stable. Fang Xuanling is loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
A gentle gentleman would naturally not put on any airs like a father-in-law. Although Fang Jun had three wives and four concubines, he treated Princess Gaoyang as if they were guests and never blushed.
If he could get Princess Gaoyang's promise, it would mean that Fang Jun had agreed to this matter.
What's especially important is that Princess Gaoyang has a noble status, but her temperament is a bit coquettish, but she is much easier to deal with than Fang Jun...
The disciple replied: "Then please wait in the entrance room for a while, and let the servants come in."
Li Chongyi cupped his hands and said, "Please."
In front of the Fang family, he did not dare to be arrogant. Even when facing a disciple, he was polite and thoughtful, and did not let anyone find any fault.
The disciple invited Li Chongyi and the uncles and nephews of the Wei family into the entrance room, and then quickly entered the room.
After a while he returned and said: "His Royal Highness has summoned you in the main hall, and also invites the Crown Prince and Taichang Qing to go."
Li Chongyi got up and followed his uncle and nephew Wei Ting to the main hall of the house. They saw that the house was full of carved beams and painted pillars, which were extraordinarily luxurious. Rows of red lanterns were hung high, showing the elegance of the official family.
In the main hall, Li Chongyi and the uncles and nephews of the Wei family came in to see the ceremony. However, when they saw the smoky beauty sitting next to Princess Gaoyang, who was very pretty in palace clothes, they suddenly felt a little bit in their hearts and had a headache.
Princess Gaoyang is indeed more delicate and naive, and does not care much about worldly affairs, so she is easier to "fool", but this Lady Wu is more clever than a monkey. If he wants to "fool" Princess Gaoyang, he finally pointed out
Not sure who is fooling whom...
"Wei Chen has met His Highness."
The three of them greeted each other. Princess Gaoyang sat upright, stretched out her hand to support her, and said warmly: "We are all members of our family, why are we so polite? Please sit down, please."
The three of them sat down and the maid served them tea. Princess Gaoyang then smiled and asked: "Your Majesty and Taichang Qing are here together, but what is the important matter? It's just a pity that both my father and husband are not here. I have some matters."
I'm afraid I can't make the decision, so I'll ask you three to make this trip in vain."
Look at what he said. Her Royal Highness, knowing that something bad happened, will pass the responsibility first. If Li Chongyi and others explain their intention later and find it difficult to handle, then just push it away. If anything happens, you can go to Fang Xuanling.
, or Fang Jun, but just don’t look for me...
Li Chongyi had just picked up the tea cup, and when he heard this, he quickly put it down and said solemnly: "If it weren't for an urgent matter, how would I dare to come and disturb His Highness? The thing is like this..."
He did not dare to give Princess Gaoyang a chance to refuse, so he explained the whole story in a concise manner, and finally said: "Wei Zhengju made a mistake by provoking him first. However, the young man is somewhat vigorous, so he can understand. Erlang is now in a high position.
He is the pillar of the empire because of his weight and prestige, which covers both the government and the public. It is not suitable to be exposed to the same level as the juniors, otherwise it will only damage Erlang's prestige. It is better to be more generous and show your broad mind, so that Erlang's magnanimity can be seen both inside and outside Guanzhong."
When Princess Gaoyang heard this, she realized that Wei Zhengju was jealous and provoked the prince, and she felt angry.
Sister Changle, is it that you, Wei Zhengju, can covet? What's more, it is now rumored in the palace that Concubine Wei arranged for Princess Jinyang to marry Wei Zhengju, the "Qilin'er" of her natal family. While you want Princess Jinyang, you also want to marry Princess Jinyang.
I admire Sister Changle and provoke my husband, who do you think you are?
If Li Chongyi hadn't come with her, she would have almost wanted to chase them away...
However, this matter not only involves Sister Changle, but also Wei Hongguang's suicide in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion. There are too many aspects involved, and it is not convenient for her as a princess to express her position in any case.
Moreover, Lang Jun has not returned home yet, and I don’t know whether he wants to teach Wei Zhengju a lesson, or whether he is taking the opportunity to suppress Jingzhao Wei. Regarding such political strategies, Princess Gaoyang
Knowing that his talent was limited and he didn't dare to stand out, he glanced at Wu Meiniang beside him.
Wouldn't it be a waste of resources to leave such a man with such an outstanding talent in political strategy unused?
And no matter how capable Wu Meiniang is, in the final analysis she is just the concubine of the husband. If the husband returns home and feels that Wu Meiniang has not done well, he can always turn his back on her and deny her fault.
But she is a dignified princess. If she agrees now, she will not regret it no matter what...
When Wu Meiniang caught Princess Gaoyang's gaze, she immediately understood.
The smile on her pretty face was charming, her face was radiant, her eyes were moving, and she looked at Wei Ting and asked: "I heard that Wei Shuang, the younger brother of Mr. Yun from the East Household of the Wei Family in Jingzhao, is now serving as the Imperial Servant?"
Li Chongyi immediately smiled bitterly. As expected, this Lady Wu was extremely shrewd. Even if she wanted to let the Wei family go, she still had to earn enough benefits...
Where is Taipu Temple? In charge of the horse administration of the country and the order of stable husbandry, the Suwenfang family's horse farm is now increasingly prosperous, raising countless famous horses from outside the region. However, it suffers from the lack of talents who are proficient in breeding good horses, making it difficult to expand the scale. Now
But he had the idea of Taipu Temple.
The horse administration in the Sui and Tang dynasties was different from the past. Although Taipu Temple was in charge of horse administration and had many horse farms, more horses were kept among the people.
And when the court confiscates horses from the people, they have to pay...
