Scattered snow foam was floating in the air, making it even more chilly to the bone.
The pavilions and pavilions of the East Palace were shrouded in a melancholy and cold atmosphere, doubling the loneliness.
When Fang Jun came to the outside of the East Palace, there was already a servant waiting at the corner gate. When he saw Fang Jun, he came forward to greet him respectfully and then led him in.
After walking through the hall and the rooms, after a while, we came to the outside of Li Zheng Hall.
"Erlang, His Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in. The waiter stopped at the door of Li Zheng Palace and said respectfully.
Fang Jun raised his head and glanced at the plaque on the lintel.
There is a beautiful main hall in the East Palace.
There is a Lizheng Hall in Taiji Palace.
How interesting...
Fang Jun rubbed his frozen face, thanked the waiter softly, raised his feet to enter the chamber, and the waiter smiled respectfully, but his heart was a little ups and downs.
Outsiders say that Fang Erlang is arrogant and domineering, but he has never been arrogant and bossy towards his servants like them. Instead, he is gentle and kind. This style of equal treatment does not seem to be artificial, but is buried deep in his heart, because he
Always give these slaves and servants respect inadvertently.
The more inadvertently it is revealed, the more it reflects a person's self-cultivation.
This is a true gentleman...
Fang Jun didn't know that his good habit of "treating people politely" would inadvertently gain him a reputation. When he entered the palace, he was a little stunned.
Prince Li Chengqian was dressed in ordinary clothes, with his hair pulled up into a bun and fixed with a gold hairpin. He was sitting on the brocade couch in a wide robe and long sleeves, with a handsome figure and a face like a crown of jade.
The genes of Lao Li's family are really excellent. Regardless of male or female, their looks are so handsome that people can envy...
Of course, this was not the reason why Fang Jun was in a daze.
Opposite Li Chengqian, sat a fat man with a broad waist and a round face without beard.
Wei King Li Tai?!
Fang Jun opened his mouth slightly, his jaw almost dropped, as if he had seen a ghost!
How come these two people are sitting together and seemingly chatting and laughing?
The dog beeped...
Seeing Fang Jun standing dumbly at the door of the hall, Li Chengqian and Li Tai looked at each other and smiled, and the latter smiled and said: "Fang Er, come on, come on, we are talking about you."
Fang Jun came to his senses and bent down to greet him: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince, I have met His Highness the King of Wei..."
Li Chengqian then waved and said: "No need to be polite, come and sit quickly."
Fang Jun walked over blankly.
When Fang Jun sat down, Crown Princess Su personally held the tea cup and served Fang Jun and Wei King Li Tai fragrant tea with a bright smile.
Fang Jun quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Crown Princess."
Li Tai also stood up and said respectfully: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Su's beautiful face was filled with a gentle smile, and she said softly: "You guys can chat slowly here, don't be restrained."
After saying that, Pingping Tingting returned to the back hall.
Fang Jun and Li Tai then took their seats.
Li Chengqian held up the tea cup and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, you have to try it. This is the best Longjing. It is said that the annual output does not exceed three kilograms. All of it is paid as tribute to the father. This is a big sacrifice for my brother."
The face is only obtained from the place of origin. Apart from my father, there is no other place in the world where you can drink it... Oh, Fang Erlang's house is not included, it is originally their own thing."
When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't wait to pick up the tea cup. He first carefully observed the spreading buds and leaves in the tea cup, the green tea soup, and smelled the clear aroma. Then he took a slow sip and tasted it intently.
After a long time, Li Taicai let out a long breath, feeling the sweet fragrance in his mouth, and stared at Fang Jun full of resentment.
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and was puzzled by Li Tai's eyes. He asked, "Why does Your Highness look at people like this?"
Li Tai said bitterly: "No wonder my father said that your Fang Erlang is a sycophant. If that's the case!"
Fang Jun was confused: "Where did your Highness start with these words? In addition, I have to remind Your Highness that someone who has no official position and is a commoner cannot bear the words of a sycophant."
Li Tai was choked for a moment, and then he remembered that this person who was willing to die until his father fucked him to the end was already a ****...
But he still didn't intend to let Fang Jun go, and asked: "Why is it that my father has this kind of top-quality tea, my brother the prince has it here, but I, Li Tai, don't have it? You are a flatterer and a flatterer. If you are not a sycophant, who is?"
How about protecting your food like this? Fang Jun understood, it was because he didn’t get the best tribute tea and was letting it go...
He had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, I still have some at home. I'll give you one or two later. Isn't the output too small? I can't divide it!"
Li Tai then said seriously: "It's a deal!"
Fang Jun had no choice but to agree.
However, his eyes kept darting back and forth on Li Tai and Li Chengqian's faces. I really couldn't understand why two people who were facing each other like each other were playing this trick of "brothers, friends and brothers" again?
Very weird...
But it’s hard to ask.
"His Highness summoned someone here, what are your instructions?" Fang Jun had to ask Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian put down the tea cup, coughed slightly, glanced at Li Tai, and said: "I just want to give you a breath of air. My father plans to arrange a job for you after the New Year, so that you will not be idle all day long... Well
, these words were said by the father and have nothing to do with Gu."
This is also the proper meaning of the title.
In any case, Fang Jun is about to get married to Princess Gaoyang, and it’s a bit unsightly to hold no official position. It’s easy to give people the impression that the second son of Fang Xuanling’s family is worthless and just waiting to marry His Majesty’s daughter Guangzong Yaozu.
Peak of life?
The emperor's consort is white and always sounds great...
However, Fang Jun already knew that His Majesty Li Er planned to appoint him as the chief military officer of Canghaidao March after he got married. Giving him an official position now must be to cover it up, so that the appointment would not be too abrupt in the future and offend the imperial censor Yan Guan.
The opposition is a precautionary measure and a transition.
Fang Jun asked: "I wonder what the job is?"
Naturally, he didn't care about the transitional official position His Majesty Li Er had arranged for him, but since His Highness the Crown Prince said so, he had to ask along the way, otherwise wouldn't it mean that he didn't take the emperor's "concern" seriously?
Li Chengqian then smiled and said: "The school secretary of Chongxian Hall."
Fang Jun nodded obediently.
It can be seen that Li Chengqian is really happy, because the Chongxian Pavilion is located in the East Palace. If Fang Jun takes over this job, there will be a lot of opportunities for the two to get close in the future.
In the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the six schools affiliated to the Guozijian, namely Guozixue, Taixue, Four Schools, Legal Studies, Calligraphy and Arithmetic, the central official schools of the Tang Dynasty also had the Hongwen Academy, which was affiliated with Menxia Province, and the Chongxian Academy, which was affiliated with the East Palace.
.
Last year, His Majesty Li Er set up the Chongxian Pavilion, which belongs to the East Palace system. There are two bachelors, who are in charge of classics and books, and teach students, just like the Hongwen Pavilion under Menxia Province. Later, in order to avoid the taboo of Prince Li Xian's name, it was renamed Chongwen Pavilion.
It can be regarded as an aristocratic school in the Tang Dynasty. "Chongwen Hall has twenty students. Those who are from the royal family are those with the highest rank of Yama, the empress dowager, the empress with the highest rank of great merit, the prime ministers and scattered officials of the first rank, those with real titles, and the third rank of Beijing officials."
I wrote it to the son of the Minister of Huangmen."
In short, it is to recruit a group of aristocratic children to enroll in school, study with His Highness the Crown Prince, lay a certain team for His Highness the Crown Prince, and prepare for inheriting the throne in the future.
It's an easy job...
Fang Jun then said: "Thank you for your majesty's kindness. I will go to the palace to give some gifts to the princesses later, and then I will go to your majesty to express my gratitude."
After saying that, he looked at Li Tai again, what are you doing here, you fat guy?
Li Tai coughed, his face changed, and he said with some dejection: "My father appointed this king of the people as the governor of Suzhou. The governor of Run, Chang, Su, Hu, Hang, Yue, Ming, Taiwan, Wu and Jiuzhou military, probably in
I will go there in the middle of next year."
Fang Jun was completely shocked!
what happened?
Didn't His Majesty Li Er always hide it and prevent Li Tai from going to the fiefdom?
Moreover, Li Tai's title was King of Wei, and the title was based on the fiefdom. Originally, Li Tai's fiefdoms were the seven states of Xiang, Wei, Li, Wei, Ming, Xing, and Bei. Yaoling held the position of governor of Xiangzhou. Yaoling means
, just don’t have to go to the fiefdom to take office...
But now the title is still King of Wei, but the fiefdom has become the land of Wuyue. This is similar to the fiefdom when he was named King of Yue in the second year of Zhenguan.
The most important thing is that His Majesty Li Er sent Li Tai to a fiefdom. Is this to stop Li Tai from competing for the throne?
If you stay away from the center, your position as crown prince will be ruined!
