His Majesty Li Er stared at Fang Jun and said coldly: "Have you ever heard of the rumors?"
More than anything else, he hated his daughter's reputation for being damaged because of Fang Jun. This was also part of the dignity of the royal family.
It stands to reason that this point was indeed caused by Fang Jun. No wonder His Majesty Li Er was angry, but Fang Jun remained unhurried: "Rumors among the people are like rootless duckweeds, floating and sinking with the tide. Why should you mind?"
His Majesty Li Er did not think so: "Rumors can certainly be ignored, but they may not be without cause. As time goes by, rumors will become public opinion. How can I turn a deaf ear to them?"
Fang Jundao: "Public opinion needs to be corrected and public opinion needs to be guided. This is also the original intention of Wei Chen's admonition to establish the "Zhenguan Weekly". It is clearly stated in the memorial that the so-called defense of the people's mouth is better than the defense of the river. The court must vigorously Ma Fuyin has not done enough to guide public opinion in a positive direction."
I have told you that public opinion needs to be controlled, but since I resigned from Jing Zhaoyin, "Zhenguan Weekly" has become almost useless. It can be seen that Ma Zhou did not realize the importance of it. But Fang Jun said that we will not take the blame...
His Majesty Li Er was a little annoyed: "What's the use of talking about that now? Rumors are spreading and Changle's reputation has been damaged. It's all because of you. You can't deny this, right?"
Fang Jun was speechless.
This is just being a rogue, right?
There is no need to accuse someone of any crime. It is clear that they just want to clean themselves up and vent their anger...
When the emperor is unreasonable, what else can be said?
Fang Jun accepted his fate.
Love as much as you like...
His Majesty Li Er felt a little calmer when he saw Fang Jun crestfallen. Just as he was about to speak, he unexpectedly heard the silent and well-behaved Princess Jinyang beside him say: "Why does your father complain about your brother-in-law? The evidence of Qiu Shenji's clearly illegal act is conclusive, because There are rumors spreading among Hefang City, and they are confusing the truth and calling the deer a horse? Did the brother-in-law ask him to smash the Ministry of War? Did the brother-in-law ask him to ram his daughter's car? It is obvious that that man brought the blame on himself, but why did he implicate his sister? ? It’s just nonsense!”
Her Highness the Princess' face was slightly red, she blinked her beautiful black and white eyes, her expression was very angry, and she felt grievances for Princess Changle and Fang Jun.
His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment and asked: "Who taught you this?"
This little daughter has always been well-behaved and sensible. Sometimes she wants to punish ministers when she is angry. Her advice is also oblique, and she never speaks directly about political affairs. Why did she speak out about this matter with righteous indignation this time?
Princess Jinyang calmed down slightly, her expression was calm, and she lowered her head slightly and said: "It's my daughter who talks too much... No one teaches her what to say, it's just her dissatisfaction. My brother-in-law and sister are obviously innocent, and Qiu Shenji is the result of his own fault." , why did it become a rumor among the people? It is impossible to say that some people want to use this to exonerate Qiu Shenji and regard the laws of the country as trivial. The daughter should not have been involved in this matter, but her sister was implicated for nothing. It is really aggrieved to be slandered and framed. Just now in Shujing Hall, my sister was unhappy about this, and my daughter felt really distressed when she saw it..."
His Majesty Li Er remained silent.
He was shocked in his heart, not that the always well-behaved Princess Jinyang actually got involved in court affairs, but that this delicate and quiet daughter had grown up unknowingly...
How could the Princess Jinyang who lived in the deep palace be able to say this?
I don’t know whether His Majesty Li Er thinks that Princess Jinyang’s words are reasonable, or whether he is too doting on this frail, well-behaved, quiet little daughter. In short, His Majesty Li Er seems to have put aside all his worries in an instant, and his expression is full of hope for his son to succeed. , I am happy to have a daughter in my family. Longyan said happily: "Can my Si son actually analyze the government affairs?"
Princess Jinyang was a little embarrassed, but she remembered Princess Changle's previous instructions and said softly: "Father is wrong. This is not a government matter, but a family matter. All family members are involved in this matter, and one is the daughter's sister. , one is a brother-in-law, and the other is a brother-in-law who is not yet married...although my daughter hates that guy."
His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly, glanced at Fang Jun, and said teasingly: "Did you hear that? You have been feeling sorry for Sizi all these years in vain. You have learned how to intercede for you. Why don't you thank His Highness Jinyang now?"
Fang Jun thought that it would be better to kiss his daughter. After saying a few words, he no longer cared about national laws and family rules. Your Majesty, do you have any principles?
However, Sizi's words that clearly interceded for him really made him happy. The little princess could already help him protect him from the wind and rain... It was indeed worth being happy.
Fang Jun clasped his fists with both hands in a serious manner, clasped his hands to the ground, and said with a straight face: "Thank you, Your Highness, for being righteous and upholding justice. I am deeply grateful. From now on, I am willing to work hard and serve Your Highness with all my heart. Go through fire and water, even to death."
Princess Jinyang is in great embarrassment...
With a red face, he shook his little hands vigorously and said slightly angrily: "Brother-in-law is bullying! Sizi is just telling the truth. How can I help you?"
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at her father beside her, fearing that he would see through the fact that she was pleading for Fang Jun and become angry...
How can His Majesty Li Er take care of that?
His Majesty the Emperor, who was completely immersed in the joy of his daughter growing up and becoming sensible, waved his hands grandly and said: "It's getting late, Fang Jun, please go back to your home. I will inform Sun Fuga and Qiu Shenji early tomorrow morning. The deeds of such crimes are obvious, but in mind of his father's past achievements, he was not severely punished and was immediately sent to the Western Regions to serve as a military commander. He was not allowed to return to the capital within three years."
Although it was a little lower than expected, Fang Jun could completely accept it. After all, Qiu Xinggong was there. When Qiu Shenji had no heinous crimes, His Majesty Li Er, who always wanted to show that "the king and his ministers get along well with each other, start well and end well", could not do it. He will be beaten to death with a stick...
Fang Jun bowed to accept the order and saluted, "Then I will take my leave."
Seeing His Majesty Li Er wave his hand, he saluted Princess Jinyang meticulously and said: "Good night, Your Highness, I will take my leave."
Princess Jinyang was extremely close to him. How had she ever given him such a serious gift? Suddenly her face turned red with embarrassment, and she said angrily: "Brother-in-law is making fun of me!"
Fang Jun chuckled twice before bowing and exiting the hall.
Princess Jinyang felt very happy. It was a very meaningful thing for her to be able to intercede for her brother-in-law and save her brother-in-law from being punished by her father. The little girl was in a good mood and naturally beamed with joy. After all, she is a child at heart. No matter how sensible she is, she is still just a little girl who has not yet had haircuts. She pursed her lips and poured tea for her father obediently. Her pride was palpable.
His Majesty Li Er smiled and said jokingly: "Is it true that if my father punishes your brother-in-law tonight, my father will not be able to drink this cup of tea?"
Princess Jinyang smiled brightly and said in a clear voice: "How could it be? My father naturally has many considerations when doing things, and my daughter doesn't understand. She just felt that her brother-in-law was a little unjust, so she said a few words, simply because the father loves her. The daughter has not scolded her, and no matter what her father decides, she will not complain at all."
His Majesty Li Er was in a good mood. After drinking tea, he caressed Princess Jinyang's little head and said meaningfully: "Most of what you said is reasonable, but it may not be unfair... Although your brother-in-law really cares for you, but It's definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp! But it doesn't matter, who told our Sizi to speak up? Even if my father can face everyone with a cold face, how can he not give my Sizi face? "
Princess Jinyang blinked her bright beautiful eyes. She is the smartest one. After hearing the words, she could already hear the meaning. She asked curiously: "What does the father mean...is that Qiu Shenji really framed by my brother-in-law?"
His Majesty Li Er smiled and shook his head: "Your brother-in-law is so smart, how could he do something so unqualified as to teach others? He is just taking advantage of the situation and taking advantage of the trend. There are naturally some small calculations in it, such as the timing of Gao Yang's invitation to you. Why is it such a coincidence that I happen to meet Qiu Shenji opposite..."
Princess Jinyang tilted her head slightly, thought for a while, her little face was full of disappointment, she bit her lip and said: "Doesn't that mean that my brother-in-law is using me? It's just use, but what if my daughter is really frightened by the collision of Qiu Shenji? …”
Doesn't my brother-in-law care if he is really frightened?
"Hey, how could that happen?"
His Majesty Li Er waved his hands and began to defend Fang Jun very loyally: "Fang Jun's family members were all around your car at that time. If the Qiu family really rushed near the car and you were in danger of being hit, those Do you think that the generals of the Fang family are just watching the show? With Fang Jun's personality, he may be able to kill him at that moment. All the members of the Qiu family will be killed in the streets, and even Qiu Shenji will not be able to escape... ...That kid seems to have few people or things he cares about, but once the people he cares about are hurt, even the King of Heaven may not be able to stop him from going crazy..."
Princess Jinyang thought about it and realized that it seemed like that. In the past, every time Fang Jun got angry regardless of himself, it was because his relatives were hurt or threatened...
Immediately, his mood improved again. With a smile on his lips, he stood up and saluted His Majesty Li Er and said, "Then my daughter will go back to the palace to go to bed. My father also needs to have a rest early."
His Majesty Li Er smiled softly and said, "Go back quickly."
"Here!"
Princess Jinyang responded obediently and left the hall with brisk footsteps.
Looking at his daughter's light steps, His Majesty Li Er let out a hey and narrowed his eyes slightly...
