After Fang Jun returned from Weibei, he came here to report to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian was dealing with government affairs. He got up and went to sit on the mat by the window with Fang Jun. He ordered someone to serve fragrant tea and listened to Fang Jun's detailed explanation of the situation.
Finally, Li Chengqian praised: "Everyone in the world thinks that the bastard of Wu'an County is stupid. Who would have thought that it is this kind of person who understands the righteousness deeply, is not moved by the thieves' inducements, has a firm stand, and puts the country first. On the contrary, it is those who keep talking about the righteousness in small words all day long.
It’s really disappointing that some smart people are pursuing profit without distinguishing between good and evil.”
Fang Jun said: "The Duke of Wu'an holds a large army and is stationed in Weibei, which can serve as a barrier to the north of Chang'an. After His Highness ascends the throne, the overall situation has been decided. It is time to summon all the ministries to join forces to march westward and fight the rebels at Tongguan. The original Shuo
Source, clarify the universe, and appease the world."
Li Chengqian also said: "That's right. Gu Ye will never treat meritorious officials harshly. Anyone who can stand firm and support Zhengshuo will not hesitate to reward him."
Fang Jun turned to look outside the study door, looked back and met Li Chengqian's eyes for a moment, and nodded slightly.
Li Chengqian understood. There were many people in the Tai Chi Palace, and their backgrounds were unclear. There must be eye spies from all sides. Once some things could not be kept secret, they were bound to spread, and they would be placed on King Jin's desk in less than two days.
Of course, everything has two sides, and there are advantages and disadvantages. When true news spreads, you will naturally be passive, but when false news spreads, you can take the initiative...
…
At present, there are many people in Taiji Palace. Officials from the Ministry of Rites, Zongzheng Temple and other yamen are coming in and out, busy preparing for the funeral of the late emperor and the enthronement of the new emperor. Two major events in succession are related to the country, and there cannot be any mistakes. Therefore, these officials are busy.
's worried.
On the contrary, Fang Jun, the nominal minister of the Ministry of Rites, pushed aside everything except asking great scholars such as Kong Yingda to draft the new emperor's reign title.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites have no complaints. Although if there is a mistake, the minister will definitely have nothing to do with it, but as long as there are no mistakes, it will be credit. When the new emperor ascends the throne, merits will be rewarded, and everyone's position will be moved up. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
…
Therefore, before Fang Jun left the palace, he went around the Political Affairs Hall. Many officials from the Ministry of Rites greeted each other politely and with the courtesy of a superior official. They did not feel resentful at all because of this superior official's "nothing".
Christine.
Entering the political hall, I met Zhang Xingcheng walking out side by side with Liu Jie.
Fang Jun was slightly stunned and took the lead in saying hello: "Zhang Shangshu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?"
With a conscience of heaven and earth, he really wanted to say hello because he hadn't seen this person for many days. Since he wasn't going to the Ministry of War to sit in the office, the reason for Zhang Xingcheng's "leave request" to Li Chengqian was because he was sick. It was natural for him to show concern when he met him at this time.
But Zhang Xingcheng's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he said solemnly: "Xiaguan will not die for a while, thank you Duke Yue for your concern."
Fang Jun clicked his tongue, glanced at Liu Ji next to him, and said with a smile: "The Liu Shizhong Yintang next to you is black, and the disaster star is shining high. He looks like a face full of bad luck, but he is tough, no matter how big he is,
Disaster may not be able to defeat him, but the people around him may not be so lucky. If you don't know Zhang Shangshu, you will suffer the same disaster. Be careful, be careful."
When officials from various ministries on the side saw the three people quarreling with each other, they all hurriedly bowed their heads and left in a detour to avoid spilling blood in case of a fight...
Liu Jie's anger rose, but he did not dare to break out. Everyone knew that Fang Er could hit him with a stick, and he didn't care about important military and national territory, let alone any dignity.
Worthy held back his anger, stared and said, "I'm going to tell you what's going on. What does it have to do with me?"
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows and said to Zhang Xingcheng: "Did you see it? This is a typical white-eyed wolf. No matter how you obey his words, he will turn around and bite you, but you will be the only one to move up stupidly."
Zhang Xingcheng sneered and said: "Such a despicable way of sowing discord makes it appear that Duke Yue has a low vision and a narrow mind."
Liu Jie said: "Why waste your words on such a bad person? If we have different paths, we can't work together. Just say goodbye."
The two of them bowed curtly to Fang Jun and left together with disgusted expressions on their faces.
Fang Jun walked around the political hall, wanting to talk to Li Ji about something, but seeing that he had left early, he had no choice but to go out and walk towards the palace gate.
Nowadays, the powerful families in Shandong and Jiangnan support the King of Jin, raise private soldiers, donate food and supplies, and vigorously oppose the East Palace. As one of the spokespersons of the Shandong family in the court, Zhang Xingcheng not only did not withdraw, but got closer and closer to Liu Jie...
If it were said that Liu Ji fell to the Shandong family, the two would not be so blatant. But if Liu Ji was said to be firm, why would he need to make a show of it?
Although this old man is not firm in his stance, he does have some integrity and should not be underestimated...
After leaving the palace gate, the soldiers were already waiting outside the Chengtian Gate. Wei Ying led the war horse, Fang Jun took the reins and got on the horse. With dozens of horsemen cheering in front and back, he left the imperial city along the Yanxi Gate and swaggered through the city. Return to Chongrenfang.
After returning home, she changed into a pair of blue straight clothes after taking a bath, and sat in the study to have tea in a refreshing outfit. Princess Gaoyang came accompanied by several maids.
Today, Her Royal Highness the Princess has her black hair tied into a bun with a golden swan, her eyebrows are as dark as black, and her eyes are full of light. Her slender figure is set against the cloud-patterned Shu brocade palaces on a white background, even though she is already a mother. , but still retains her beauty and elegance.
Putting a plate of washed grapes on the desk, he saw Fang Jun leisurely drinking tea and reading a book, and said curiously: "Tomorrow is the day when my father is buried, and it is also the ceremony of the crown prince's brother's enthronement. The whole court and the public are in a state of confusion. You are so busy, how come you are so leisurely?"
Even for a princess like her, she was taught a lot of etiquette by the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the palace early in the morning, and rehearsed it to avoid losing etiquette during the ceremony. However, she did not expect that important officials in the East Palace such as Fang Jun would be idle...
Fang Jun put down the book and looked up and down at the pretty wife in front of him. He felt that she was extremely beautiful and pleasing to the eye. He smiled and said: "In the military, there are Ying Gong and Wei Gong in charge, and there are also Lu Guogong, Jiangxia County Prince and other famous generals to assist. The imperial court will be infallible. Over there are Cen Wenwen, Liu Jie and others who are busy doing business. Now as a husband, I have no soldiers and no power. I am just an idle person. Why should I join in the fun? Too much power is not necessarily a good thing. As the saying goes, when the moon is full, it will lose, and when the water is full, it will overflow. , this is the truth that you must leave a leeway in everything."
As he spoke, he opened his mouth like a chick waiting to be fed: "Ah..."
Several maids suppressed laughter, lowered their heads and shrugged their shoulders, fearing to laugh out loud.
Princess Gaoyang stretched out a jade finger that looked like a spring green onion and gently tapped Fang Jun's forehead, and said with an angry smile: "Are you still shameless?"
Having said that, he still reached out to pick up a grape and put it into Fang Jun's mouth. Unexpectedly, he took the grape in his mouth and sucked it...
"Oh, you are so disgusting!"
Princess Gaoyang was shocked and angry. She slapped Fang Jun on the shoulder angrily. Immediately, her eyes were as charming as silk and her smile was as bright as a flower. How could her daughter's family not like such secrets in the boudoir? Especially when a man wields power and kills.
I am so determined that I can still be so tender and sweet when I return home. It is really unique, and my heart is naturally as sweet as honey.
Fang Jun chewed grapes and asked casually: "Where is Mei Niang?"
Princess Gaoyang sat down on his side and replied: "Shun Niang came to visit me today. Maybe something happened at home, and she is talking in Mei Niang's room."
Fang Jun spit out the grape skin, thought for a while, and said: "Perhaps there is really any difficulty? Those bastards from the Helan family are all promising. During the Guanlong rebellion, many people died, their titles were deprived, and their family property was lost.
I’ve also been fined a lot, and I’m probably thinking of Shun Niang again. I’ll go over and have a look, I can’t be bullied anymore.”
After saying that, he stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back.
"Bah! Shameless!"
Princess Gaoyang's cheeks turned red and she couldn't help but spit.
How could she not know what this guy was up to? When he mentioned that Shun Niang was in Mei Niang's house, this guy's eyes lit up... I wonder if all men in the world are such bastards. The more taboo something is, the more likely it is to
It’s like flocking to it, the more enjoyable it becomes.
Thinking about it, this sister is a total bastard, but a heroic girl with such a beautiful mind like Mei Niang always indulges that person in such matters.
Women are the most unreasonable. If they are not pleasing to the eye, no matter how hard they try, they will only look annoying and cannot agree to ordinary things.
But if he catches his eye, he wishes he could give it to him with all his heart, no matter how unreasonable things happen, he will let them go.
