Don't look at the history books that praise Li Zhi like a white lotus flower, he is definitely very scheming!
Several brothers fell from power one after another, and the throne finally went to him, who seemed the most unlikely. Relying on the Guanlong Group headed by Changsun Wuji, he defeated Wei Wang Li Tai and took the throne. However, he was afraid of the strength of the Guanlong Group and used " The incident of deposing the Queen and replacing her with Wu Meiniang uprooted the Guanlong Group in one fell swoop, and even Changsun Wuji suffered...
After the death of His Majesty Li Er, Li Zhi ascended the throne.
What did he do to his brothers?
"The car service is shameful and the meal is particularly outstanding"!
This is one of the reasons why His Majesty Li Er passed the throne to him, "If Li Tai is made the prince, the prince can be obtained by trickery. If Li Tai is made the prince, both Li Chengqian and Li Zhi will die; Li Zhi will be the prince, and Li Zhi will be the prince." Tai and Li Chengqian are fine."
And the result?
King Li Tai of Wei died in Yunxiang, King Li Ke of Wu was implicated in Fang Yiai's rebellion, and was hanged in Chang'an Palace. King Li Min of Shu was imprisoned because of Li Ke's mother and brother, was deposed as a commoner, and was exiled to Bazhou. Soon after, he was exiled to Bazhou. He was renamed King of Fuling and died in exile.
If His Majesty Li Er knew something secretly, he would probably have to cry and live...
Without a deep scheming city, can it do this?
Are you kidding...
Only if Li Chengqian successfully becomes emperor can the Tang Dynasty ensure a smooth transition of power and prevent the pace of development from being delayed due to internal strife.
Fang Jun can also sit back and relax...
Li Chengqian is cowardly and kind, but he is not stupid. As long as his position as prince is not threatened, he has a stable mind and will naturally not do stupid things. Furthermore, all the friends around him gradually became alienated after Fang Jun took it upon himself to dedicate all the benefits from Jiangnan to His Majesty Li Er, and they would not do anything in a daze that was below the lower limit of their IQ.
Fang Jun reminded him several times. He naturally knew that he was better off than staying still now, so he just stayed there and endured the day. When will his father die, when will he take over...
Shaking his head, Li Chengqian said: "I have asked the East Palace official to make a detailed accounting and have left enough goods for one year. The rest will be sent to you in case of emergency."
Although Fang Jun arrogantly said to Li Ke that he wanted to make money with Li Ke, in Li Chengqian's view, Fang Jun must spend his own money to make up for the rest and rectification of the east and west cities. Although Fang Jun was rich, he also had to express his attitude, so he used the belongings of the East Palace to support Fang Jun.
Fang Jun's heart warmed slightly and he said with a smile: "Your Highness's good intentions are appreciated by Wei Chen. But there is no need to worry, Your Highness. Wei Chen has many ways to make money, and the repair and rectification of the east and west cities is of course not a problem."
The three provinces, six ministries and the emperor have all issued documents, and they can do whatever they want in the east and west cities. How can they not make money?
Li Chengqian said in astonishment: "How to make money?"
Fang Jun said proudly: "Among the necessary qualities for an official, the ability to make money is very important. You have to spend money to do things, whether it is among the people or in the officialdom, otherwise it will not matter even if you have thousands of clever ideas. What about performance? Everyone can do things, but whether they can make money to do things is the difference between capable officials and mediocre ones. Officials who can't make money will not be good officials."
Li Chengqian: "..."
After all, I am also a prince. Can you stop taking it so naturally that I am making money one bite at a time?
Although he also understands the reason behind this, and knows that Fang Jun’s so-called making money is not just putting it in his pocket, but this sounds awkward...
What about the saint’s humble words and great righteousness?
Where is the ethical gentleman like jade?
Doesn’t being an official require being honest, fair and upright?
Too philistine...
Li Chengqian felt speechless.
Wearing jingle rings, Wu Meiniang walked in with two maids and served fragrant tea.
Li Chengqian did not act like a prince at all, with a kind and warm smile on his white face, he said to Wu Meiniang: "Wu Meiniang is a heroine. Even though I was in the forbidden palace, I heard about Wu Meiniang's majesty and power. It's really unbelievable. It's really enviable for Erlang to have such a virtuous wife. Gu and Erlang are inseparable and cannot distinguish each other. In the future, if Erlang is inconvenient to come forward if his mother's family needs help, Wu Meiniang can come to look for her. I will definitely not refuse."
These words came from the prince's mouth, which gave Wu Meiniang a great deal of dignity.
It should be noted that she is just Fang Jun’s concubine!
But Li Chengqian admired this amazing woman who was capable both inside and outside!
She was able to stand up when faced with a crisis at home, and dared to confront the dignified Minister of Etiquette even without the reputation of being a woman. The most powerful thing was that she scratched Linghu Defen until his face blossomed, and Linghu Defen had to pay a huge apology...
Looking at Guanzhong, which woman has such ability?
Even Fang Xuanling is now kind and generous to Wu Meiniang, treating her almost like her two daughters-in-law, and never treating her as just a concubine.
When the family goes through setbacks, there are many women in purdah who just cry and go with the flow. How many of them can stand up and deal with it bravely?
What Wu Meiniang has done deserves this respect...
Wu Meiniang smiled lightly, gathered her skirts and saluted: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but how dare you bother Your Highness about my affairs with my mother's family? I will take care of it myself."
Li Chengqian laughed loudly, and was even more satisfied with Wu Meiniang's appropriate response.
When Wu Meiniang led the maid away, Li Chengqian sighed: "I really envy Erlang. I have such virtuous helpers as Shu'er and Wu Niangzi at home, what more can I ask for?"
Fang Jun's eyelids twitched...
What more can I ask for from my husband?
Brother, you probably don’t know how fucked up these two people are…
A woman who passionately pursues love and yearns for freedom, even giving her husband a big cuckold; a woman who does not let men down and vows to become a phoenix riding a dragon, and even conquers all men to become the only female empress in the ages...
That’s me, brother, wearing a halo and traveling through it, holding the sun and the moon in my hands, and stepping on the seven stars with my feet. Let’s try someone else. Can you hold it?
I have to be torn to pieces and maimed by these two bitches...
*****
It’s spring time again.
Scholars from all walks of life gathered in the city of Chang'an, and there was a bustle of carriages and horses. The Chu Guan in Pingkangfang even borrowed money urgently to buy famous girls from all over the world. The business was more than twice as prosperous as usual.
In the elegant room of Zuixian Tower, a group of young people were sitting around, with famous singers singing songs and drinking wine. The young people had fun and had fun. From time to time, a joke would cause bursts of laughter in the room, and strange hands would make people laugh. The girl's coquettish voice...
There was a commotion for a while, and suddenly someone said: "The business of this Zuixian Building is getting better and better. Even the courtyards in the backyard are full. It's really disappointing. Although this elegant room is exquisite, it is surrounded by familiar people, so it's hard to have fun. carefree."
Everyone started laughing.
Naturally, everyone understands the so-called "not having fun".
If they were in the backyard, when they got excited for fun, they would naturally drag the girl in their arms and push them away from the room next door to make clouds and rain and indulge in their bestial desires. However, in this elegant room, there were so many familiar people around that it was inevitable to feel restrained.
Someone laughed and said, "Do you think you are the second room mate? Once people come, even if the Zuixian Tower is full, they will have to kick out a group of people to make room for them."
The man who spoke was in his twenties, with fair complexion, handsome face, and energetic appearance.
As soon as the words came out, the room suddenly became silent.
The man from before had a sullen face and said displeasedly: "Yu Lizheng, why did you bring him up? It ruins your interest for nothing!"
This man has a sharp face and a pale complexion. He is Kong Zhixuan, the son of Kong Yingda...
Yu Lizheng was the son of Yu Zhining, and had always been on good terms with Kong Zhixuan. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Brother, why are you so prejudiced against Fang Er? I think I am also curious. Your Majesty, Lord Zhongda, has an irreversible friendship with Fang Er." We've forgotten our friendship, why are you so unkind to Fang Er, brother?"
Kong Zhixuan snorted and glared at Yu Lizheng, "You don't want to open any pot, right?"
Kong Zhixuan originally didn't like Fang Jun very much, but that guy teased him more than once. As the relationship between Fang Jun and his father became closer and closer, he, who was considered promising in his father's eyes, was reprimanded from time to time, and Fang Jun became what his father called "other people's children"...
Kong Zhixuan got angry when he mentioned Fang Jun.
He did not answer Yu Lizheng, but glanced sideways at the two young men beside him, and said in a strange tone: "We don't want to see him much more than I do, right, senior high school brother, brother Linghu?"
The two young men suddenly looked livid...
