After the Spring Festival, Wei King Li Tai was about to leave to take up his post.
The prince's vassal is equivalent to establishing an independent country and enjoys great military and political autonomy within the fiefdom, but at the same time, there is no chance to return to Chang'an.
This time Li Tai hosted a banquet for his old friends, presumably to say goodbye. After all, communication was inconvenient in ancient times, roads were blocked, and Chang'an and Wuyue were thousands of miles apart, making travel very difficult. I don't know how many old friends have separated and want to see each other in the future.
It’s difficult...
At the farewell banquet, Fang Jun had to give favor to King Wei Li Tai, even though he was not too happy to go there. Few of the friends around King Wei Li Tai could look at each other with Fang Jun...
Early the next morning, Fang Jun was dressed by Wu Meiniang. He put on a set of dark blue straight clothes and a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles. This man looked fresh and clean, but of course he was a bit shabby...
Wu Meiniang gently combed Fang Jun's hair, and a pair of soft butterflies tied up Fang Jun's long hair. The cuffs moved up slightly, revealing a jade-like wrist that beat the frost and snow, and her red cherry lips opened slightly, slightly
With complaints.
"Why is Mr. Lang dressed like this? He looks like someone from a poor family in the countryside. It is a banquet for His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and it is also a spring outing. There must be many young men from famous families. I am afraid that Mr. Lang will be ridiculed by others."
Fang Jun's outfit is really too "civilian". There is neither silk or satin, nor gold or jade. Even the shoes on his feet are worn by ordinary farmers, which really makes him lose his identity...
Fang Jun looked at Wu Meiniang's perfect profile and slim waist reflected in the bright and clear glass mirror, and said with a smile: "Why are you laughing? It's because their officials are older than me? It's because their father is tougher than me.
?Or do they have more money than me?"
Wu Meiniang said coquettishly: "You are so stubborn! Of course, few people can match you in these conditions, but the way you dress is worse than that of an ordinary scholar from a poor family, so naturally some people will laugh at you."
Fang Jun asked back: "How can you see it? Since they can't compare with me in anything, what right do they have to laugh at me? Not to mention that I am naked in these clothes. Am I not Fang Erlang?"
"You... are so quixotic, you really pissed me off!" Wu Meiniang was so angry that she lightly hit Fang Jun on the shoulder. This guy was always messing around, and he actually used the tricks he used to deal with political opponents in the court at home.
, Wu Meiniang was naturally not angry.
The imperial censors and officials of the entire dynasty were no match for Fang Jun in a verbal sparring match. How could Wu Meiniang not be defeated?
Fang Jun didn't take it seriously and said, "Since it's a banquet for flower viewing in the temple and it's not a formal occasion, why not dress casually? Besides, these shoes are just right for hiking into the temple!"
He would not feel wronged because of what others thought. If he followed Wu Meiniang's wishes, he would have to wear the most solemn clothes and be very restrained inside and out. Wouldn't he be making himself uncomfortable?
It's not like going to court to see the emperor...
Wu Meiniang was helpless, curled her lips, rolled her eyes and made a face behind Fang Jun. She always felt that her husband was sometimes omnipotent and fascinating, and sometimes he was simple and childish, making people speechless...

Zhongnan Mountain has beautiful scenery and is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world. It has been a favorite place for temples and temples since ancient times, especially at the northern foot of Chang'an, where there are many temples and temples hidden among the mountains and forests.
The ancients favored Buddhism and Taoism, so the temples and temples were prosperous and extremely solemn and tidy, making them a popular place for tourists to stay.
Luoxia Temple is not far from Songyin Temple where Princess Fangling practiced spiritual practice. It is said that it was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty and has been handed down for nearly two hundred years. It is an ancient temple.
After major renovations during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, it was more grand and magnificent than most of the famous temples and temples in Zhongnan Mountain. Of course, compared with the large-scale construction and construction of the Imperial Cien Temple, its regulations were nothing.
Luoxia Temple is far away from the hustle and bustle of Chang'an and is not in the prosperous area of the city. Except for devout men and women, most of the people who are interested in visiting Luoxia Temple are literati.
There was an endless stream of tourists along the way. When they arrived at Luoxia Temple, Fang Jun got out of the carriage, ordered his two followers to stay and look after the horses, and led Xi Junmai and Wei Ying up the mountain path. After a while, a magnificent
The mountain gate of the mountain appeared in front of the three of them. On the plaque were the three characters "Luoxia Temple" with strong and powerful dragons and phoenixes. The inscription was "In the fourth year of the founding of the Emperor, the Imperial Treasure of the Sui Emperor". I don't know if it was written by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian or where it was.
Written by a great writer.
As soon as I walked outside the mountain gate, I saw a young man in white shirt standing in front of him, surrounded by several servants, looking up at the plaque.
Fang Jun walked closer, and the young man in white shirt happened to turn around, and the two looked at each other.
But it was Du He, the second son of Du Ruhui and the younger brother of Prince Li Chengqian.
Both of them were a little surprised, they didn't expect such a coincidence.
After hesitating, Du He showed a smile first and asked with a smile: "Erlang is going to attend a banquet at His Highness the King of Wei?"
Fang Jun nodded and asked curiously: "Young Master Du is also here for the banquet?"
No wonder he was confused.
Du He was a loyal supporter of the crown prince Li Chengqian, and he was so loyal that he even planned to rebel with Li Chengqian for Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince. Historically, it was this man who was his ex-partner, Yiai, who was falsely accused of treason, and Li Chengqian was implicated in his death.
He succeeded to the position of crown prince and was deposed by His Majesty Li Er. This shows that the relationship between Du He and Li Chengqian is very close, which is known to the whole world.
The king of Wei, Li Tai, had been fighting for the position of crown prince for a long time with the prince Li Chengqian, and they were at odds with each other. Li Chengqian's loyal horseman Du He had nothing to do with the king of Wei, Li Tai. They were in a very clear opposition. How could he come to attend the banquet of the king of Wei, Li Tai?
Hearing this, Du He looked unhappy.
He said carelessly: "His Highness asked someone to come, saying that the vassal of King Wei is about to come, and it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. In the past, all grudges should be laughed away... In fact, it is purely unnecessary. What kind of character does King Wei have? He is a villain who must seek revenge, and now
Being forced by the emperor to go to the land of Wu and Yue, he could not use all kinds of means, so he would obediently express his surrender to His Highness. But if he gets the opportunity, the first one to try to occupy His Highness's position as crown prince will be the King of Wei! There is no doubt that he will be the King of Wei!
His reconciliation is nothing more than a dream, Your Highness is too kind to a woman..."
Fang Jun smiled and said nothing.
The kindness of women? This was the most important reason why Li Chengqian was re-approved by His Majesty Li Er. It was Li Chengqian's indecisiveness that made His Majesty Li Er believe that he would be able to treat his brothers well after he succeeded to the throne, so as not to repeat the tragedy of the Xuanwu Sect.
This Du He is somewhat loyal, but he is more stubborn than him...
He did not comment on Du He's words. After he complained, Fang Jun asked with a smile: "How about we go together?"
Du He said happily: "As you should, please."
He has a good impression of Fang Jun.
Whether it was "a pot of wine, a pole, as happy as I have a few people" by the Lishan River, or later giving advice to Li Chengqian when he was in the most critical moment, it showed that Fang Jun was not a two-faced villain, but also a duplicitous villain.
Not a hypocrite who adds insult to injury.
The two of them walked side by side, followed by their servants.
Du He seemed to be very familiar with this place, so he eloquently explained it to Fang Jun along the way, acting as a tour guide. He told Fang Jun from a stone tablet on the side of the mountain gate written by Zheng Daozhao, a calligrapher from the Northern Wei Dynasty, that Luoxia Temple was used by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty as a
The glorious history of the summer resort, and the story of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty building a stupa here. In short, the history of each palace seemed to be carved in his mind. Allusions came at his fingertips. The calmness and elegance made Fang Jun gasp.
tongue.
This Du Er Shao actually seems to be a monk from Luoxia Temple in his previous life. Every brick on the ground can tell an allusion! At this moment, Du He seems to be possessed by a literary giant. Is there still a little bit of impetuousness and stupidity?
People have thousands of faces, no matter how incompetent they are, they still have merit...
The two of them were walking and chatting. At first, they could only glimpse a corner of a forest of bright red flowers on the mountaintop not far away. When they turned around a corner of a house, walked a few steps along the mountain road, and rounded a building, a patch of pink suddenly appeared in front of them.
The sea of color, the red seems to be suddenly overwhelming, making people feel like they are in a red world...
Each peach tree is like a graceful girl, graceful and charming, which makes people feel pity in their hearts. The peach trees are very short, but their branches are spread out in all directions and covered with buds. The color of the peach blossoms
It is pink, blossoming, branching, clustering, and balling, dazzling and thrilling.
The peach blossoms are shallow and deep, and the makeup is evenly shaded...
