Kong Zhixuan had a sullen face, reluctantly raised his glass, and drank it all in one gulp without looking at Fang Jun. He really couldn't understand how his mature and prudent father could do this when Fang Jun was so domineering and arrogant.
Have you become a lifelong friend with him?
Over the past year, Kong Zhixuan's ears have been severely poisoned. Every time he talks to his father at home, the word "Fang Jun" will basically be mentioned. For example, "We should learn more from Fang Jun's generous style", "We should often talk to Fang Jun"
"Communicate in a civilized way" and "Be like Fang Jun and support the family business"... Kong Zhixuan's ears are about to get calloused after hearing so many things every day.
He knew that Fang Jun was talented in literature and had a knack for amassing money, but he was not as good as him. But every time his father used Fang Jun as a model to highlight his own shortcomings, who could stand this? Kong Zhixuan often wanted to yell at his father: A certain city
We are almost 30 years old, can you please stop bringing up a brat to embarrass us all the time?
Under such circumstances, it is strange that Kong Zhixuan has a good impression of Fang Jun...
King Li Tai of Wei looked at Fang Jun, who was calm and calm, and then at Kong Zhixuan, who looked unhappy, and then swept his eyes across the faces of everyone present. Suddenly, there was a feeling of emptiness in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Once upon a time, I was favored by my father and showed my desire to save money. Apart from Fang Jun, who among this group of people was not flattering and fawning over me, flocking to me like a duck?
But now, I am about to go to the land of Wuyue, which is thousands of miles away, and the situation has suddenly changed. Although I am respectful and courteous on the surface, I am afraid that no one takes me seriously anymore, right?
A prince who goes to a fiefdom to become a vassal can't influence the affairs of the court, so even a royal official can't do it...
King Li Tai of Wei felt depressed, so he picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
The spicy wine flowed down the throat, burning and churning in the stomach...
*****
Li Tai regretted hosting this banquet.
I originally thought that I would leave Beijing in the future and take advantage of the last opportunity to contact old friends. In the future, these people can serve as support in Beijing and protect themselves at critical moments.
But he found that he was too naive...
People enjoy the coolness of tea when they leave, and this is the same in ancient and modern times.
The prince who left the capital, no matter how holy he was in the past, was like a plucked phoenix, ignored by no one.
The ups and downs of life were too cruel, and Li Tai couldn't accept it, so he got drunk very quickly.
The protagonist is drunk, and the party naturally breaks up unhappy.
Changsun Huan took Fang Jun and wanted to go to Pingkangfang to have fun, but Fang Jun was left behind by someone sent by Li Tai.
Fang Jun had no choice but to let Changsun Huan and others go to Pingkangfang first, and he would arrive later.
A large group of dandies said their goodbyes and left, laughing and hugging each other as they headed towards Pingkangfang.
The elegant interior on one side of the building.
King Li Tai of Wei sat casually on the floor, holding a white jade wine cup in his hand, looking lonely and depressed.
As soon as Fang Jun came in, he smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness is really good at tricking even the most humble ministers." He didn't feel Li Tai's loss and sorrow in his heart. Instead, he was secretly surprised. Since he was impatient and wanted to pretend to be drunk and leave the banquet, then
Why call this banquet?
"Hey! Erlang is so proud of his success, how can he understand the loneliness of this king?" Li Tai forced a smile on his round, fat face and spoke in a low voice.
This is the sense of loss that comes from falling from the clouds to the trough, Fang Jun thought to himself.
He sat down opposite Li Tai carelessly, refused the wine bottle that Li Tai handed over, reached out and picked up a preserved apricot from the tea tray and put it into his mouth. It tasted sour and sweet.
"Your Highness, you still can't let go?" Fang Jun asked.
Li Tai was slightly stunned, hesitated, shook his head and said: "I am not worried about the possibility of getting the crown prince position. It's just that I have always lived in Chang'an, and suddenly going to the barren, desolate and smog-infested land of Wuyue is a little uneasy."
Fang Jun nodded.
Li Tai is a smart man. After experiencing so many things in the past year, he must have seen clearly. As long as His Majesty Li Er can stay rational, then the position of crown prince will not be his turn no matter what.
As for worrying about the barrenness of Wuyue land, in Fang Jun's opinion, there is no need to worry...
Not to mention that the land of Wuyue is endowed with abundant water resources and suitable temperature conditions. With just a little development, it can become a beautiful and fertile land. The long coastline alone can bring super profits due to sea trade, and prosperity is just around the corner.
What's more, in Fang Jun's memory, it seems that the Tang Dynasty never really implemented the feudal system like the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty Li Er wanted to entrust his descendants to the world, guard the four directions, and defend the capital. Unfortunately, in the end, due to the protests of the ministers,
Can't let it go.
As long as history does not deviate too much, His Majesty Li Er's enfeoffment system should be canceled soon. At that time, no matter the previous enfeoffment kings, the King of Qi, the King of Wu, or the current King of Wei, will evacuate their fiefdoms and return to the capital.
It's just that I can't say this, and Fang Jun doesn't intend to say it...
No one can say whether Li Tai has really thought about it now and no longer covets the position of crown prince, or he is forced by the situation and has to give up his obsession. Let him stay in the land of Wuyue in the south of the Yangtze River for a while.
After three to five years, perhaps the extravagant hopes in my heart will be completely subsided.
Every dynasty that was once glorious collapsed due to internal strife.
Fang Jun wanted to make the Tang Dynasty stronger, and he also wanted the people in this land who had been bound by farming ideas and Confucian culture for generations to see a completely different way of living. When constant expansion awakens the dormant desire, let progress
With the seeds buried in your heart, even if the dynasty falls and the Tang Dynasty is overthrown, you will one day be able to create a domineering soul, instead of being content with being a little rich and losing the desire to make progress just for the sake of immediate benefits.
No one knows better than Fang Jun the huge energy that this nation can unleash. When their thoughts are bound to this land, they can only passively maintain a defensive posture, their strength is imprisoned, and their thoughts are restrained...
However, it turns out that the Great Wall cannot withstand the cavalry of the nomads, and benevolence cannot influence the inflated and ferocious desires. If you blindly guard this three-acre land, the final result can only be to allow people to prey on you and bully them in every possible way...
What would it be like if the nation's awakening did not have to go through the painful and dark nineteenth century?
Fang Jun wanted to take a look.
He wants to awaken the bloody nature of this nation through his own efforts and the blood and suffering of foreign races...
And all of this requires a stable empire to back it up. Therefore, Fang Jun will definitely make every effort to maintain the stability of the empire.
Sitting opposite Li Tai, after thinking for a while, Fang Jun said: "When you are born in this world, you must always have some enterprising spirit."
Li Tai said in surprise: "Erlang is encouraging me not to give up, but to continue to fight for it?"
He didn't understand what Fang Jun meant. He had to know that Fang Jun had been tirelessly trying to persuade him to give up the fight for the crown prince. In Fang Jun's eyes, it seemed that it didn't matter who became the emperor, as long as the empire was stable, everything would be fine.
Fang Jun shook his head and said, "How stupid is it to do something you know you can't do?"
Li Tai became more and more puzzled: "Then why do you want me to make progress?"
Fang Jun looked into Li Tai's eyes and said, "Your Highness, you should look further ahead. The Tang Dynasty is not the only one in this world."
Li Tai was stunned.
It’s not just Datang...
What's the meaning?
Fang Jun said: "The world is vast, far beyond your Highness's imagination. To the west of Kunlun and to the south of the ocean, the land is thousands of miles wide, with abundant resources and abundant people. Instead of getting entangled in the struggle for the reserve, allowing family affection to flow eastward and the empire to sway,
Why not forge ahead and seal off foreign lands?"
Li Taiyuan's face was full of disbelief, his mouth opened, and he looked at Fang Jun in front of him with dumbfounded eyes.
Pioneering and enterprising, enclosing foreign lands?!
Who the hell doesn’t want to?!
That man doesn't have the ambition to open up new territories and enclose the wolf in Xu?
That man doesn't have the dream of conquering Shi Yanran and spreading thousands of miles?
But through the ages, how many people have been able to do it?
Li Tai smiled bitterly and said: "Aren't Erlang making fun of me? He sealed the wolf as a Xu and restrained Shi Yanran. His achievements throughout the ages are the ultimate... No matter how conceited I am, I dare not compare myself to the champion of Huo, Dou Bodu!"
Huo Qubing sealed Lang Juxu, Dou Xianle Shi Yanran, the ultimate dream of the ancient military strategists! For thousands of years, they have become famous and have made outstanding achievements!
Who doesn't want to?
It can be said that besides being in charge of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, this is the ultimate achievement!
Of course Li Tai also thought that his fat body was not only filled with desire for the throne, he also imagined that one day he would be able to march thousands of miles and sweep across the world!
It’s just...it’s so unreliable!
Fang Jun was dissatisfied with Li Tai's expression: "You always have to have dreams, what if they come true?"
