Li Yuanjia was deeply worried about the situation in the court and the hidden dangers to the royal family, but there was nothing he could do about it. The position of "Dazongzheng" seemed to be high and glorious, but under the pressure of powerful figures like His Majesty Li Er, it was actually just a job. Some of the work of running errands, checking for deficiencies and filling in omissions, is often used as a knife by His Majesty, and takes the blame... There is almost no real effort.
So even if he gets involved, what good will he do except to tie himself up?
Fang Jun understood this, and could see that although Li Yuanjia did not dare to openly express his stance against Yi Chu, he still had the tendency, so he also revealed something to him: "When Wei Chen entered the city just now, he was influenced by the British When summoned by the official, he came to visit..."
Li Yuanjia was slightly taken aback, but since he was known as one of the few heroes in the royal family, and his political talent was naturally high, he understood Li Ji's intention after a little thought.
Somewhat nervously, he asked, "Will it offend His Majesty?"
Fang Jun disagreed: "No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than the current situation? In fact, His Majesty may not be so ruthless in his heart. If you give him a step up, the situation may be eased."
Among the emperors of ancient and modern times, His Majesty Li Er can be said to be a model of "improper access to the throne". However, this far-sighted emperor realized early on how harmful his path to the throne would be to the inheritance of the throne, so he paid attention to the training of his sons when they were young. Instill in them the principle of "love each other, brothers are of one mind", and hope that they can be respectful and friendly to each other, rather than fighting for the throne and fighting against each other.
Now, no matter what the reason is for His Majesty Li Er to insist on Yi Chu, he still does not want to see the prince die...
Li Yuanjia felt it made sense, but he warned: "Just pretend, put a little pressure on His Majesty, and give His Majesty a step up, but don't make the lie come true. Once His Majesty's bottom line is touched and he becomes cruel, no one can guarantee that he will what happened."
As wise and powerful as His Majesty Li Er, as long as he realizes that his throne is threatened, how can he be at all soft-hearted?
Fang, who was not interrupting the business, was a little nervous. She held her brother's hand and complained: "You don't know His Majesty's methods, so why do you have to go against him? You should be a duke of the country honestly, even if you have military power. It doesn’t matter if you don’t, it’s too scary to go on an expedition all day long...Didn’t I hear that you are going to be appointed as the president of book repair? Wouldn’t it be better to concentrate on repairing books and leave a brilliant masterpiece to be passed down to future generations?”
Nowadays, the Fang family is decorated with flowers and brocade, and the oil is cooked by fire. Both father and son have great power, and half of the important ministers in the court are on good terms with them. Their reputation among the people is very high, and they have almost reached the pinnacle of honor among ministers. As the saying goes, water is full. If it overflows, the moon will gain or lose. At this point, you should make some concessions in accordance with the current situation. There is no harm in being patient.
Why defend the crown prince to the death and confront His Majesty Li Er?
Fang Jun smiled and reassured: "Sister, don't worry, my brother knows the rules and won't act recklessly. But having said that, the power and position of the mother's family is the foundation of the married daughter. If the brother is not willing to make progress, how can he support his sister? I'm afraid that the time will come. All kinds of cats and dogs can ride on my sister’s head and run wild, and this grand palace may not have room for my sister to stand up.”
Li Yuanjia's face turned black with anger. He ignored the fear of Fang Jun in his heart. He was half sincere and half pretentious, and shouted loudly: "What do you mean by Erlang's words? This king and your sister are married by the emperor. The matchmaker is getting married, it's a match made in heaven, no matter how big the palace is, she has the final say, who dares to deceive her?"
Fang Jun was calm and composed: "Oh, it's just because His Majesty granted you a marriage, so His Highness has to recognize my sister..."
"..."
Li Yuanjia was a little confused, is this what I mean?
Fang couldn't stand it. Although her brother's strength really made her feel warm in her heart. Unlike other families who used women as political bargaining chips and then ignored them, she still felt that her husband was not what his brother said he was.
Bad luck.
Shyly, she patted Fang Jun on the arm and said angrily: "You are such a grown-up person, but you are still so generous? Although your brother-in-law is a noble man, he still knows how to be gentle and carefree. You don't want to spend the whole day giving it to him.
Embarrassing, after all, we are still a family... Your Highness is very kind to your sister right now. You just come to eat and drink, and your sister has prepared all the good things for you. When the day comes when this unscrupulous person bullies your sister, you will support her again.
."
Fang Jun nodded repeatedly: "Sister is right, just do as she says. Come on, come on. I'll give you a toast to my brother-in-law. I won't come home until I'm drunk today."
Li Yuanjia grimaced, looking at the wine glass with fear in his heart. He would have to drink this wine until he was drunk. If he didn't drink it, the mallet might go crazy...
In the end, I had no choice but to hold my nose and clink the glasses and drink it all in one gulp.
…
After drinking for most of an hour, Fang Jun saved face for Li Yuanjia today and did not drink to death. Most of the time during the dinner, the family chatted lively. Li Yuanjia put down his princely airs and acted like a loving wife and doting brother-in-law.
My good brother-in-law is very happy.
But after the banquet, before leaving, Fang Jun seemed to have no intention of saying to Mrs. Fang: "Although you are my biological sister, I still have to help you. Men are always greedy for new things. No matter how beautiful your wife is,
If the immortals will eventually have their day, then they will inevitably have evil intentions, be distracted, have half-hearted thoughts, and be unwilling... So it is better for women to accept their fate. After all, people are old and have to be self-aware... What, brother-in-law, I can only
I've helped you so much. You and your wife are discussing it. It's just a concubine. You are a noble man from Tianhuang. Even if you marry ten or eight, will a woman interrupt? Well, I drank a little too much. I'll leave now.
."
After saying that, he bowed and saluted, turned around and ran away...
Li Yuanjia was dumbfounded. Are you helping me?
You really want me to die!
Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw Fang's brows standing straight up, her almond-shaped eyes widening, and her pretty face seemed to be oozing with a layer of frost...
Li Yuanjia trembled and said hurriedly: "Princess, take a moment while I go to see Erlang off..."
Gu/span was about to run out, but Fang had already grabbed his sleeves. His silver teeth gritted loudly, and his pretty face was still smiling: "Your Highness asked Erlang to come to your door to persuade me to accept your concubine?"
Li Yuanjia was sweating profusely and forced a smile: "This...that..."
He wanted to deny it, but if he denied it unwillingly, what if the princess agreed?
But if she admits it outright, I don’t know if the princess will go crazy...
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I just said it during a casual chat, but I didn't really mean it. Haha, it still depends on what you want, Princess..."
Fang interrupted her, her beautiful eyes narrowed: "You are old and yellow, and you are tired of it... Are you saying this too?"
Li Yuanjia was shocked and shook his head like a rattle: "Absolutely not! Erlang said this himself. Have you ever seen this king agree with him even a word?"
Fang didn't believe it: "So what your Highness is saying is that even Erlang despises my sister, who is old and has become a thing of the past, and feels wronged by Your Highness, the King of Han?"
"this……"
Li Yuanjia was at a loss to argue and couldn't answer. After all, whose brother would think like this? Nine out of ten brothers must side with his sister, but that one was probably bribed by his brother-in-law... But the second rich man in the house
But in an enemy country, with officials occupying important positions, and even being decreed as the "Shangzhu Kingdom", what could he, the prince, do to bribe him?
It is really sad for a brother-in-law to have such a brother-in-law...
A guy who is not a son of man!
Thinking that this long-planned plan to take a concubine might have to fall through again, Li Yuanjia felt itchy with hatred...
At this moment, Mrs. Fang was tightly tugging on Li Yuanjia's sleeves, her pretty face changed into a weak look, she was aggrieved and about to cry, she lowered her head and pursed her lips: "How about... Your Highness will accept a few flowers like flowers?"
Yu's concubine, otherwise if word spreads that I am jealous, Your Majesty may ask His Highness to divorce you... Wuwu."
Li Yuanjia felt like his hair was standing on end. He had changed his routine this time. In the past, he would cry and make noises that disturbed the whole house, but now it was made of steel that was turned into softness, using softness to overcome toughness... But it was also difficult for him.
Parry.
Although the two were married by His Majesty, they met when they were young and had a deep affection for each other. Although Li Yuanjia himself was a little lecherous, he respected and loved the princess. He was not only afraid of her going crazy, but also couldn't bear to let her be wronged.
He could only let out a long sigh, with a lonely look on his face: "That's all, that's all, isn't it just taking a concubine? My intention from now on is that the princess should not cry, otherwise the guilt in my heart will be like a knife."
He didn't go out to see Fang Jun off either. He sat slumped on the chair with a pitiful look on his face.
Fang: "..."
She has always been a soft-spoken person, and if Li Yuanjia was a demon and had to take a concubine, she would definitely not allow it. She would dare to hold his neck in front of His Majesty, which is quite like his mother. But Li Yuanjia was so lost, which actually made her a little bit confused.
I feel guilty. After all, it is natural for men to take concubines. It is indeed a bit unseemly for me to resist and resist like this.
Just when she was about to say yes, something moved in her heart, and she looked suspiciously up and down at Li Yuanjia. Although this guy usually behaved well, he was not an economical person. Could he be acting like this on purpose to gain sympathy?
?
Let’s take a look first and then talk…
Li Yuanjia lamented to himself for a long time. When he saw Mr. Fang looking at him up and down with a pair of beautiful eyes, he couldn't help but feel guilty. He coughed dryly and stood up and said: "Since Erlang has entrusted me with something, I should do my best, Princess."
After resting here, I will take a bath and change my clothes, and then go to the palace to ask your majesty for your permission to return the prince to the East Palace."
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the flower hall, went back to the bedroom, took a shower, changed into a set of clothes, and drove out with a few servants to the Tai Chi Palace.
His Majesty Li Er had just had lunch and was resting in his study. When he heard that Li Yuanjia had entered the palace, he summoned him.
Li Yuanjia entered the study, saluted and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that the crown prince is the foundation of the country, but now he is temporarily living in the Youtunwei camp. His safety cannot be guaranteed. Any accident will definitely cause shock to the government and the public."
Hearing the words "safety cannot be guaranteed", His Majesty Li Er was shocked and thought he was a little careless.
If the prince really had any accident at this juncture, it would be troublesome...
