Changsun Wuji and others really didn't expect His Majesty Li Er to have such a skill. This person has been transferred, so why should he stay to deal with the Dongshi incident? He secretly thought that something was wrong. Just looking at Fang Jun's beaming expression, he knew that this kid was going to do something bad...
Fang Jun suffered such a big loss after being tricked by himself and others, how could he just let it go?
Changsun Wuji's mouth was full of bitterness.
The emperor's intention is very clear. You want Fang Jun to leave Jing Zhaoyin. Yes, as long as you all cooperate with me in my great cause of the Eastern Expedition and stabilize the government, I will satisfy you. But don’t think that this kind of thing can happen once or twice or even over and over again. Don’t think about it in the future.
What's particularly important is that by removing Fang Jun from Jing Zhaoyin and then pushing him to the position of left minister of the Ministry of War, the emperor officially issued a warning. Waiting for me to free up my hands, let's calculate today's debt again. !
Is there any chance of settling this account?
Changsun Wuji didn't know, but he hoped not.
However, the current situation is that I don’t know if the emperor’s account will have a chance to be settled, but Fang Jun’s account is unlikely to be settled...
*****
After the dynasty was over, Changsun Wuji walked out of the Tai Chi Palace side by side with Xiao holding a fluorene board, surrounded by his close team behind him, like stars over the moon. Although Changsun Wuji is not very popular with His Majesty now, as the flag-bearer of the Guanlong Group, his political resources still make others flock to him.
However, this seemingly majestic appearance did not make Changsun Wuji happy.
Because just now, Wang Dehou, the chamberlain's chief chamberlain, conveyed His Majesty's oral instructions at the gate of Taiji Hall and called Fang Xuanling to Shenlong Hall...
The emperor's closeness to Fang Xuanling was far different from that of his ministers. This kind of treatment was what Changsun Wuji had enjoyed in the past. Now that he was at a disadvantage, how could he not feel depressed?
"Auxiliary machine, I'm afraid this matter is a bit tricky."
Xiao had a clear face and was elegantly dressed in a purple robe with long sleeves. However, at this moment, his face was full of worry.
Changsun Wuji naturally knew the meaning of his words, but he could only express his helplessness and whispered: "Your Majesty is angry in your heart. If you can't let go of this anger, I'm afraid the consequences will be worse. I thought your Majesty would be able to hold back this anger." Well, at least we have to wait until the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo before it breaks out... The emperor's heart is unpredictable! Fang Jun is a stick man, and he must be full of resentment this time. I can't guess how he will deal with those who were captured by Jingzhao Mansion. The arrested traders..."
More than just a vendor?
They claim to be traders, but their family members cannot cover the sky with one hand and respond to everything. How can all the traders in Dongshi be allowed to do whatever they want? There are only a few traders here, and the rest are mostly dealers and slaves of various families.
Domestic slaves are the private property of the family. To some extent, they represent the face of the family owner. It depends on the owner to beat the dog. If Fang Jun gets crazy, he will send all these Zhuang and Hakka slaves to the frontier without hesitation to contribute to the military economy of the Tang Dynasty. …
That would be equivalent to a slap in the face of a noble family member.
No one, whether Changsun Wuji or Xiao, could afford to lose this face. What do family members care about most?
It's reputation, it's reputation.
Therefore, those Zhuang Hakka slaves must be brought back. According to the original idea, Fang Jun will inevitably be transferred from Jing Zhaoyin's position. No matter who the new Jing Zhaoyin is, he will have to do so due to the pressure from the family. If the net is wide open, at most a few people will be picked to bear the main responsibility, and the rest will be released as accomplices.
But now Fang Jun handles this matter with hatred, and the difficulty of this matter suddenly rises to the level of hell...
One miscalculated move can lead to endless troubles.
Suddenly, an old voice sounded from behind, angrily saying: "I don't believe he dares to kill all those people?"
Changsun Wuji suddenly became angry and felt an uncontrollable disgust. He didn't even need to look back to know that it must be Linghu De...
Suppressing the annoyance in his heart, he nodded towards Xiao: "I will go ahead and invite Duke Song to tea when I have time."
Xiao smiled and nodded: "Then I'll be waiting."
After saying this, Changsun Wuji quickened his pace and took the lead.
I ignored Linghu De from beginning to end...
Linghu De's old face turned red. This kind of ignorance was more hurtful than a slap. He wanted to find a sense of presence and save some of the face he had just lost in the Tai Chi Hall, but unexpectedly he failed to regain his face and even lost his face...
He was ashamed and angry. He spread his hands at Xiao Tan and said angrily: "Why is this person like this? Anyway, I can't see what Fang Jun can do to those people. It's impossible to kill them. Even being exiled to the army may not be possible." If you pass the Yushitai level, there is no need to worry at all."
Xiao glanced at him indifferently, then lowered his eyelids and said to his left and right: "I'm a little tired today. I'll go back to my house to catch up on my sleep. Everyone should be gone."
Someone quickly said: "The Duke of Song is the pillar of the imperial court, so he should always take care of himself."
"I recently got a few wild ginseng plants from the Northeast. They are the best for replenishing blood and energy. I will send them to your residence later to take care of your health."
There was a flood of flattery from all the losers.
Xiao smiled and thanked everyone one by one, said goodbye to everyone, and went ahead.
Everyone was laughing and chatting, saying that a beautiful Orchid came to the wine shop in the West Market. She had blond hair, blue eyes, slim waist and long legs, and her exotic style was fascinating; they were saying that a brothel had recently opened in Pingkangfang, and the girl inside was Qing Yishui. The little ladies from the south of the Yangtze River are all young girls who have just debuted. Their faces will turn red when touched, and they will be embarrassed even if they want to talk...
No one paid attention to Linghu De.
Linghu De no longer knew whether he should be angry or panicked. He was left alone and isolated...
On the other side, Changsun Wuji was in a heavy heart. He walked to the palace gate and was about to board his carriage when he saw a gorgeous four-wheeled carriage slowly coming from the east and stopped in front of the Zhuque Gate. At this moment, Fang Jun happened to be walking out of the Zhuque Gate chatting and laughing with a group of generals such as Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong. The driver of the carriage jumped off the shaft, stepped forward to salute Fang Jun and invited Fang Jun to get on the carriage.
Fang Jun, Cheng Yaojin and others said goodbye one by one, and then boarded the carriage.
The moment the car curtain was lifted, Changsun Wuji's expression suddenly darkened.
Sitting in the car was Prince Li Chengqian...
Sure enough, Jane is in the emperor's heart!
Not only does the current emperor treat him as a nephew and he loves, respects and trusts him very much, but even the future emperor rides in the same car with him and has a close friendship with him...
Changsun Wuji's eyes were dark, and he knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Fang Jun's path would surely go straight up, and no one in the entire empire could touch him within decades.
It's just that the reason why "accident" is called "accident" is that things are unexpected.
*****
Dragon Palace.
After the court, His Majesty Li Er returned to the palace to freshen up. After thinking about it, he ordered someone to stop Fang Xuanling at the palace gate and call him to the palace for a chat.
It was too early to go to court, and I was a little hungry after all the trouble, so I asked someone to go to the imperial kitchen to deliver the order and prepare a table of wine and food for two people.
After changing into a set of loose regular clothes, His Majesty Li Er asked the maid beside him: "Why don't you see Chang Le?"
For these days, Princess Changle would wash and serve him every day when he went to court, and would prepare meals after going to court, which made him feel even more considerate.
The maid replied: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, His Highness Changle took His Highness Jinyang and His Highness Hengshan to the Prime Minister's Mansion. His Highness Changle went down to talk to His Highness Gao Yang, while His Highnesses Jinyang and Hengshan clamored to go see Gao Yang. His Highness’s young prince…”
Did you go to Fang Jun's house?
His Majesty Li Er's face suddenly dropped and he was in a terrible mood...
Not long after, Fang Xuanling walked in from outside the palace and saluted: "Old minister, I see your Majesty."
His Majesty Li Er calmed down and waved affectionately: "What are you doing with so many false gifts? Come on, come and sit down. I ordered the imperial kitchen to arrange the food and drinks. Let's have a good drink."
"Here."
Fang Xuanling did not delay. His Majesty Li Er liked to drink wine and chat with his ministers for a long time. Sometimes he would sing and dance when the mood came, and he did not show any imperial dignity or airs to the ministers.
He took the wet handkerchief brought by the palace maid, wiped his face, cleaned his hands, and sat on the mat beside His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling and felt a little unhappy. He startled Fang Xuanling when he opened his mouth: "Xuanling, I really can't believe that you, a person who has always been as gentle as jade, actually almost hit me today." Being unable to get off the wall is a bit too much.”
