I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.
This was Fang Chongyong's mood at the moment. On his way back to Chang'an, he was sitting in the bullock cart thinking:
Was Li's brain caught in the door?
Or is Fang Youde not high enough to even count on the pre-arranged engagement?
Is there any secret here that I don't know about? For example, Li Heng's promise to marry Wang Zhongsi's family after it comes true?
Fang Chongyong vaguely remembered that Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Yu seemed to be about the same age as him.
He weighed repeatedly in his mind how to solve this matter.
Originally, Fang Chongyong was not very interested in marrying into the Wang family. It was Wang Zhongsi who entrusted him with the important matter, so he came forward to mediate it.
Now that I'm being tossed around like this, I'm actually feeling a little bit stuck.
If you really don't recognize this marriage, then you are not a human being inside and outside, and it will be difficult for Daddy Zha and Wang Zhongsi to explain.
And accepting this marriage is like putting a hot face on a cold butt!
"Did Mr. Lang hit a wall in the Wang family? Is it someone there who wants to regret the marriage?"
Zhang Xun, who was driving, asked doubtfully. He had been here before, and he knew what happened when his hairy son-in-law came to the door.
"It was not said clearly over there, and it was impossible to say it clearly. It was just that the intention to refuse the marriage was obvious. I couldn't bear it, so I just returned the birth date, so that they don't have to worry about being a villain."
Fang Chongyong couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Xun had long sensed that Fang Chongyong was smarter than his peers, even compared to adults. He thought for a while, nodded slightly and encouraged: "Everyone has a breath of life, and the young man has done nothing wrong." p>
"Yeah."
Fang Chongyong reluctantly agreed, but secretly thought: If only it could be that simple.
Zhang Xun thought that Fang Chongyong couldn't bear this tone. In fact, Fang Chongyong had never seen any big scenes in his two lives. In his previous life, his mother-in-law's eyes were higher than her head, and she would see people through the cracks in the door. Isn't it strange?
When Zheng Shuqing came up and accused him of being a deer, didn't he find a way to escape from the sea of misery in the end?
The reason why Fang Chongyong returned Wang Yunxiu's birth date was as if he was impulsive. In fact, he was not angry at being rejected. He was angry at Li's stupidity, and even more frightened by the stormy waves that might be coming.
!
Li is now asking Li Heng to use her connections to help Wang Zhongsi leave Dongyang Mansion. She only considered convenience but did not consider the huge risks involved!
If Li Heng is really required to handle this matter, let alone returning to Chang'an, Wang Zhongsi may even be sent directly to Lingnan! It's also unknown whether Li Longji will even find an unfounded crime and deal with it!
Li Shi never thought about how terrifying energy Li Heng and Wang Zhongsi would produce if they joined forces! How deeply fearful Li Longji would be.
Li Heng now has the hard card of Huangfu Weiming in his hand. Although this person is not yet the military governor, he has both civil and military skills. He not only went to Tubo, but also served as Sinongqing! He also served as Zuowei Lang.<
/p>
It was only a matter of time before he was appointed Jiedushi. He is being suppressed now just because his sworn brother Wang Yu was implicated, but sooner or later he will be promoted by Li Longji.
Because the position of Jiedushi requires talents with both civil and military skills. And when it comes to fighting against Tibet, the Tang Dynasty will always lack generals who understand Tubo's situation. Huangfu Weiming has countless opportunities to make a fortune!
In addition to Huangfu Weiming, Li Heng's most loyal confidant is Wei Jian. Now Wei Jian is the magistrate of Chang'an. I heard that he has the possibility of becoming a prime minister and is good at managing money. It is only a matter of time before he is used by Li Longji.
It can be said that the future is limitless.
With these two people, one civil and one military, one external and one internal, Li Heng had strong supporters both in the court and in the border towns.
So when the crown prince Li Ying is bound to be deposed, the next round of succession for many princes will inevitably begin. Li Heng's strength is terrifying just by looking at it. It simply says "I will be the new crown prince" on his forehead.
”!
If there was another Wang Zhongsi among Li Heng's cronies who had repeatedly made military exploits at the border, Fang Chongyong could fully imagine how afraid Li Longji would be!
When Li Longji becomes ill and unable to govern, Li Heng can use Wei Jian to control the center, and Huangfu Weiming and Wang Zhongsi to control the border towns. Is it difficult to change the world? Then use a PTSD slogan, for example, let the courtiers
They are all very afraid of it, like Concubine Wu Hui tampering with the emperor and disrupting the government.
Taking advantage of the courtiers and clan's deep fear of Wu Meiniang, they would rather kill the wrong person than let her go. I'm afraid the success rate of the coup will be astonishing!
Not to mention the extremely suspicious Li Longji, even Fang Chongyong himself feels chills on his back just thinking about it.
Now that you have the opportunity to cut yourself off from Wang Zhongsi’s family, why don’t you wait for the Chinese New Year if you don’t run away?
When Li Longji starts killing three sons a day, let's see how Li will cry! At that time, their whole family will be frightened day and night, thinking that they will be implicated by the loyal king.
I'm afraid that Li Heng has already started to operate this matter. Unfortunately, the more he operates, the further Wang Zhongsi will be from returning to the battlefield, and his own situation will become more dangerous.
"Blessings are where misfortune lies, and misfortunes are where blessings lie. Wang Sheng said that this trip was necessary, and he was right. It was all in vain."
Fang Chongyong couldn't help but sigh. The fortune teller Wang Sheng's calculation of receiving five hundred coins at a time was not too high, but too low. He was so accurate.
Returning to Chang'an, Fang Chongyong wrote a letter to Wang Zhongsi. In the letter, he analyzed the pros and cons of this incident in detail, and then told the truth, breaking down all the possible crises and told the other party, and said that today's situation
The situation is very strange and dangerous.
Fang Chongyong told Wang Zhongsi that it might not be a good thing to be thankful that he was dormant in Dongyang Mansion and was not noticed by Li Longji.
As for the engagement, it was not mentioned in the letter.
However, before the letter was sent, a "big event" happened that Fang Chongyong did not expect.
……
On the second day after Fang Chongyong returned to Chang'an, two uninvited guests came to his door, catching him off guard!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Fang Chongyong looked at the slender girl in front of him, who was wearing a white man's robe and a heroic look on her eyebrows. She looked like she was only eight or nine years old. Her silky hair was simply tied up. She was fresh and capable without any makeup.
Those bright eyes kept staring at him, making Fang Chongyong, who was always eloquent, feel speechless for a moment.
Next to the girl was a young man who looked very similar to Wang Zhongsi, but he looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. He wore the same style of robe as the girl, only one size larger.
"I, Wang Yanshu, the eldest son of Wang Zhongsi, have met my brother-in-law. This is my brother-in-law's unmarried wife, Wang Yunxiu."
Wang Yanshu winked at Wang Yunxiu with a playful smile, gesturing for her to speak.
"What do you mean?"
Wang Yunxiu asked.
Fang Chongyong was stunned and responded casually: "Ah?"
"Ah what! If the marriage is a major matter, if it is the will of your parents, it is your father who wants to break off the engagement. If the marriage is decided by you and me, then you have to ask me if I agree! You can't even do it in front of me.
It makes no sense to break off the engagement without seeing each other!
What do you mean?"
The more Wang Yunxiu talked, the angrier she became, and she wanted to punch Fang Chongyong directly.
"Then...what do you think?"
Fang Chongyong felt that the girl in front of him was a bit fierce and not cute at all, so he asked cautiously.
Seeing that he was about to say something good, Wang Yanshu waved his hand to signal Wang Yunxiu to shut up, and then said with a smile: "My father often said: Faith is the foundation of a person.
My brother-in-law rushed back to Chang'an from Kuizhou, and then traveled all the way to Zheng County, Huazhou. It can be said that he has traveled a thousand miles and established himself. What is the case with King Zhong and the case with mother does not represent our views.
I and the Twelve Lady (Wang Yunxiu) both believe that my brother-in-law is one of our own and can be entrusted with important matters, and is more reliable than Prince Zhong."
Is there such a thing?
Fang Chongyong looked at Wang Yanshu with a horrified expression, and then at Wang Yunxiu.
"Whatever you want to watch, you will have to marry me in a few years, and you will have to watch it even if you don't want to."
Wang Yunxiu snarled angrily, and after sitting down, she was so angry that she didn’t know who to turn to.
Finding that Fang Chongyong was stunned and silent, Wang Yanshu could only say gently: "We have always felt that although King Zhong (Li Heng) has a close relationship with my father, he is always an outsider and his thoughts are unpredictable.
So this time we came to Chang'an with our mother on our back. First of all, our eldest mother (Wang Zhongsi's mother, Kuang) was from a small family. She liked her husband very much regardless of her family background. She believed that he valued love and righteousness and could bring ten people together.
The second lady entrusted her to the husband;
Secondly, I also want to know what my brother-in-law plans to do and whether he needs anything from us.
To be honest, since my father was demoted to Dongyang Mansion, the family has been in complete chaos. My mother seems to be suffering from a serious illness and seeks medical treatment. My brother-in-law is very smart, so I asked him to answer his questions."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to Fang Chongyong.
The sudden visit of these two people made Fang Chongyong confused about how to deal with it.
"So, this marriage is your own intention?"
Fang Chongyong looked at Wang Yunxiu and asked in confusion.
This girl's face hasn't fully grown yet, but she already has the appearance of a beautiful woman. Her body looks very toned, especially the proportions of her legs are really good, and she is actually a little taller than herself when she stands.
"Otherwise? I don't want to come, who can force me to come?
I feel that you rushed from Kuizhou to Zheng County because of a man. My future husband should be such an upright man.
Since the marriage contract has been arranged by our parents, we should keep our word and promise. How can we change it overnight?
You won’t say you regret it, right?”
Wang Yunxiu speaks quickly and quickly, unlike those shy little ladies who are pretentious, and speaks very clearly.
"I'm just afraid that if we are like-minded, it will be tragic if we end up becoming brothers with different surnames."
Fang Chongyong looked at Wang Yunxiu and smiled bitterly.
"Then Alang, why don't you serve the wine quickly? What do you think your mother-in-law looks like!"
Wang Yunxiu couldn't help laughing and said, Fang Zhongyong was in a trance when he saw his heroic appearance. He had seen many hypocritical women in his previous life, but he had never seen such a strange woman.
Wang Yanshu couldn't help complaining at the side: "My sister just fell in love with her brother-in-law who traveled thousands of miles to find a wife, and he was very righteous. When she learned that you were going to break off the engagement, she and her mother had a big fight..."
"Can you shut up that bitch of yours?"
Wang Yunxiu tilted her head in embarrassment, rolled her eyes at Wang Yanshu and scolded.
Fang Dafu brought a jar of red lotus spring with a smile, looked at Wang Yunxiu with deep meaning and said nothing, and then quietly withdrew.
Wang Yanshu and Wang Yunxiu both looked at the Honglianchun in the white porcelain wine glass in a daze. Even if they were not drunkards, they could tell that the wine in front of them was expensive.
The three of them drank until their faces turned red. They put their glasses down in unison and were about to start talking about serious matters. Only after confirming that the marriage contract was fine can they start talking about serious matters. The Wang Yanshu brothers and sisters were not as reckless as they appeared. They also had principles and bottom lines.
.
"It's okay to call you A Lang now. The top priority now is to revive my father, but we have no way. If you have any ideas, A Lang, you might as well talk about it. Let's find a way to persuade my mother about the matter." p>
Wang Yunxiu rarely put away his temper and said seriously.
"It used to be an easy thing to do, but now it's difficult. King Zhong's operation has probably started, and now he can't stop even if he wants to.
They will only be a disservice, and the more they help, the more help they will get."
Fang Chongyong sighed and said that when he heard Wang Yunxiu's mother said that she asked Li Heng for help, he knew that things were going to be bad!
"If we contact the people who are loyal to the king now and ask them not to take action on this matter, will there be any chance of improvement?"
Wang Yanshu thought for a while and asked Fang Chongyong somewhat unconfidently.
"The most taboo thing about asking someone to do something is to change orders overnight. Don't loyal kings not want to lose face? Are they just called by your family and left as soon as they are summoned?"
Fang Chongyong looked at Wang Yanshu and asked, if he can't figure this out, then he really doubts that Wang Yanshu's IQ is not enough to conspire in big things!
"Is there anything difficult to understand about this? It's just that noble people cannot use others cheaply. Let's continue talking."
Wang Yunxiu reacted a beat faster than her brother. It can be seen that although she has a bad temper, she is very smart, quick to talk, and never sloppy.
"The trouble with this matter is that the saint may think that King Zhong is so keen on resurrecting his father-in-law because his father-in-law is a member of King Zhong's party.
As long as this layer of worries can be relieved, it will be easy for my father-in-law to return to Chang'an and even be entrusted with important tasks."
Fang Chongyong roughly said that it would be better not to elaborate on the dangers involved, as it would be bad if the two and a half-year-old children were frightened.
"It doesn't sound difficult..."
Wang Yanshu said thoughtfully.
"I think it's okay."
Wang Yunxiu said with certainty.
"How dare you be so sure..."
Fang Chongyong couldn't help but sigh to Wang Yunxiu.
He was not sure about something, but this little loli actually started talking nonsense seriously! Could it be that just because he is a little taller than himself, he could ignore the chaotic court situation in Chang'an?
"Then I'll give you a pair of shoes. Then you can run around more and be more diligent. I'll leave everything to Alang."
Wang Yunxiu took out a pair of new shoes she made from her cuffs and stuffed them into Fang Chongyong's arms without asking if they fit. She picked up Wang Yanshu and left, seeming a little embarrassed.
After Fang Chongyong sent the two of them out of the door, Wang Yunxiu made a face at him and said, "Don't even think about breaking off the engagement. You can't break it off."
Only then did she show the innocence that a girl should have, and Fang Zhongyong was moved to the point of seeing her.
"I didn't want to break off the engagement..."
Fang Chongyong's momentum was completely suppressed by the opponent, and he retorted feebly.
After walking out of Chang'an City, Wang Yanshu asked confused Wang Yunxiu, who was in a happy mood: "Are you really sure? In fact, it's still several years away. There are still three or four years before the marriage, and the sexual intercourse will be more
It’s about going forward..."
"It's common for people to cling to you when you're prosperous, but it's not so common for you to help when you're down. Now that the Wang family is in trouble, as a person who is engaged to the Wang family, he can't even escape, so why go to trouble and come to Zheng County to help us? Let alone
Starting from Kuizhou, we have traveled thousands of miles.
Isn't such a person worth entrusting? My father is not bad at seeing me, but my mother has always placed her hopes on King Zhong, which is really unwise."
Wang Yunxiu replied solemnly.
Wang Yanshu nodded slightly. He saw that Wang Zhongsi praised Fang Chongyong in the letter as "affectionate, righteous, courageous and resourceful", but Wang Yunxiu had not seen this letter.
"Wang Sheng from Xuanpingfang told your fortune, saying that your future husband-in-law has the talent of a prime minister. I think my brother-in-law is very intelligent, and it will not be difficult for him to become a general or prime minister in the future. Then Wang Sheng is indeed well-deserved!" p>
Wang Yanshu laughed and teased. Wang Yunxiu stamped her feet with a red face, turned around and left, no longer paying attention to Wang Yanshu.
What the two of them did not expect was that the time for their mother, Mrs. Li, to give birth to an heir, would come earlier and more urgently than expected.
The drastic changes in Chang'an's political situation exceeded everyone's expectations!
