"Return to the surprise of our allies? Return the country to the generals but not the country? You bastard killed the horse in the street and spattered the streets with blood. How come you are not afraid of the surprise of the friends? Are you not afraid of the generals but not the country?"
The Shenlong Palace was filled with His Majesty Li Er's deafening roar.
His Majesty Li Er almost went crazy!
The majestic royal prince-in-law, one was the governor of two states, and the other was the minister of the Ministry of War. They were all first-class officials in the court. However, they ended up fighting on the street, and even slashed the horse with blood for five steps, which made the royal family lose face. All!
What's more, this Fang Jun actually talked nonsense about surprising the allies... You are not afraid of me hitting you, but you are actually afraid of the surprise of the allies?
This is simply unreasonable!
Looking at the angry Tyrannosaurus rex standing in front of him, Fang Jun wiped away the saliva that was sprayed on his face and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, calm down, it was just a joke."
Of course His Majesty Li Er knew that Fang Jun was just joking!
How could he not know what kind of temper this boy has? It seems that the economy is supreme and good-neighborly and friendly, but in fact, they never regard foreigners as human beings, only as tools for exploitation. Look at the captured and attached Turks who are either mining coal in various mines or building city walls. From water conservancy, we can know Fang Jun's attitude towards "friendly countries".
In Fang Jun's own words, he is a "pure Han nationalist"...
How could such a person care about his "surprise to friendly countries"?
I wish I could scare you to death!
The reason why His Majesty Li Er is angry is because of disappointment!
He has very high expectations for Fang Jun, and with the construction of the temporary market by the Kunming Pool and the military's participation in the rescue under the command and dispatch of the state, which has won the cheers and support of the whole people, this expectation has become even higher!
The so-called "deep love and deep responsibility" is probably true.
He firmly believed that the talent and knowledge displayed by Fang Jun must be the talent of Zaifu.
But who the hell has ever seen Zaisu, who causes trouble all day long?
He already knows what happened today. It was Zhou Daowu who was wrong. Fang Jun sacrificed his life to save others, which he praised even more. But since you are already standing on the moral high ground, why can't you just and righteously rebuke Zhou Daowu? Instead, draw your sword and kill him. Ma, causing panic throughout the city?
The more His Majesty Li Er thought about it, the angrier he became. He suddenly raised his foot and kicked Fang Jun hard on the leg!
Fang Jun was caught off guard. Unexpectedly, the majesty in front of him suddenly made a move, and he was suddenly kicked on the buttocks...
Just kick him, who calls him the emperor?
At that moment, Fang Jun turned over and got up, saying: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know my sins. I will definitely change my past mistakes in the future, and I will not disappoint Your Majesty."
He had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, but he didn't say a word about "willingness to be punished" and other words, and he knelt on the ground and refused to get up. This was both sincerity and a low profile. These days it is not fashionable for ministers to kneel to the emperor, but for a son-in-law to kneel to his father-in-law, there is still no big problem...
Your Majesty Li Er was so angry that he couldn't let it out.
What else could it be? Now that Bang Gui is not only a high-ranking official at the ministry level, but also a father, he cannot continue to hit him with a stick or a whip as usual. In the past, a corporal punishment would only be seen by outsiders as a show of fun, and the elders would teach the younger ones a lesson. Nothing wrong. But now we can't do that. We have to worry about Fang Jun's face.
Moreover, His Majesty Li Er was forced to remove Fang Jun from the post of Jing Zhaoyin under pressure and demoted him to serve as Minister of War. In the final analysis, he owed Fang Jun a lot, which inevitably made His Majesty Li Er feel apologetic and even more embarrassed. But playing the game...
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er turned his attention to Zhou Daowu, who had remained silent.
Compared with the various debts he owed to Fang Jun, His Majesty Li Er felt that he was too kind to Zhou Daowu...
The Zhou family has been a family of officials and generals for generations.
Zhou Daowu's father, Zhou Shaofan, was the great-grandson of Zhou Lingqi, the general of Nanliang Chariot and Cavalry, the grandson of Zhou Jiong, the general of Nanchen Zhengxi, and the son of Zhou Fashang, the former Sui Dynasty general of Wuwei. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the world was in chaos, Zhou Shaofan took refuge with His Majesty Li Er early. When the Tang Dynasty was established, Zhou Shaofan served as a charioteer in Kudan, the residence of the King of Qin, and was relied upon by His Majesty Li Er as a confidant.
In the Battle of Xuanwu Gate, Zhou Shaofan led the imperial guards to fight against the prince's guards. He bravely fought to take the lead and helped His Majesty Li Er to usurp the throne against you and achieve unparalleled achievements! How could His Majesty Li Er trust Zhou Shaofan? In the ninth year of Wude, shortly after His Majesty Li Er experienced the "Xuanwumen Incident", the Turkic Khan Jieli led the Turkic wolf cavalry to advance wildly. Taking advantage of the emptiness in Guanzhong, they drove straight into Jingyang and the Weishui River, the place where the troops were at war. Chang'an on the South Bank!
At that time, His Majesty Li Er led six cavalry near the Weishui River, met Jieli Khan across the water, made a "Weishui River Alliance", emptied the Chang'an treasury, and then the Turks withdrew their troops. Among the six cavalry who followed His Majesty Li Er at that time were Gao Shilian, who was sometimes serving as an Attendant, Fang Xuanling, Zhongshu Ling, and Zhou Shaofan!
Zhou Daowu was initially raised in the palace because he was the son of a meritorious official. After Zhou Shaofan died in the seventh year of Zhenguan, Zhou Daowu left the palace to return home and observe filial piety. When he came of age, he was recruited as the consort by His Majesty Li Er and married to Princess Linchuan.
It can be said that His Majesty Li Er attaches great importance to him and cultivates him carefully.
However, Zhou Daowu seems to be getting more and more useless as he grows older, and the older he gets, the less promising he becomes. It's not that he is incompetent, but it's just that he is far from His Majesty Li Er's expectations, so it is inevitable to be disappointed.
For example, this time the Wang family and the Wei family teamed up with many clans to secretly resell the grain from the charity warehouses in various places. It was secretly transported from the boundaries of Youzhou and Yingzhou to Goguryeo through the hands of the Yuan family in Youzhou. Zhou Daowu cannot escape the blame!
His Majesty Li Er even went as far as why Zhou Daowu rushed to Beijing after receiving the imperial edict to annihilate the three Yuan clans in Youzhou. He was afraid that the emperor would suspect that he, Zhou Daowu, was involved in this food reselling incident. After all, his wife was imprisoned. The biological mother of Princess Li Mengjiang of Sichuan is Concubine Wei, and the Wei family is his wife's family...
Although His Majesty Li Er was disappointed with him, he never doubted Zhou Daowu's loyalty to him.
Although the Zhou family has been a prominent official and general family for generations, with the death of Zhou Shaofan, the family has long since withered away and is no longer as prominent as it once was. Without the support of the emperor, I am afraid that those truly aristocratic families would not even bother to win over and utilize them.
His Majesty Li Er looked at Zhou Daowu, who had a large piece of skin on his face that was still bleeding, and sighed secretly.
This boy is different from Fang Jun. Fang Jun is a thick-skinned guy and he can scold and scold him at will. Unexpectedly, the boy has a grudge in his heart. However, Zhou Daowu is thin-skinned and shallow. If he is like Fang Jun, he severely punishes and arbitrarily gives orders whenever he makes a mistake. If the protection is not equal, it will lead to alienation...
It’s so inconvenient...
His Majesty Li Er rubbed his brows, calmed down the anger in his heart, and said softly to Zhou Daowu: "You are now a high official in the imperial court and a high official in the border areas. In the past, you were just a prince. How can you still be so impetuous? Riding a horse into Beijing and galloping in the bustling city, if those imperial officials take advantage of this to cause trouble, how can you ask me to protect you? I understand your concerns naturally, and there is no need to be suspicious. If I really have opinions about you, how can I order you to be executed? The Yuan family? I will go to the imperial concubine for a while later. The imperial concubine has been talking about you and your wife a lot in recent days, and then quickly returned to Yingzhou. You must be brave enough to do your job, and you must be clear about rewards and punishments. Take care of Youying 2 for me. Prefecture, during the future Eastern Expedition, there will be the first formation of the imperial army of Goguryeo!"
The lesson was full of expectations. The Taoist leader was inexplicably moved with tears in his eyes. He bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am so kind to you. It is difficult to repay the loss of a humble minister. I can only serve the king loyally and die exhausted!"
His Majesty Li Er said warmly: "Okay, quickly go to the harem to pay a visit to the imperial concubine, and then set off immediately to return to Northern Xinjiang. Otherwise, if you delay, wait for the memorials from the imperial officials to be submitted, and those who want to leave for a while can also leave. Don’t fall off.”
"Here!"
Zhou Daowu responded obediently, stood up and took two steps back before turning around and walking out of the hall.
Fang Jun, who was watching from the side, felt hot in his eyes...
They are both sons-in-law, so why is there such a big difference in treatment?
He treated Zhou Daowu like a gentle and considerate person, but he treated himself like a thunderstorm with harsh words and harsh words...
It's not fair!
His Majesty Li Er sent Zhou Daowu away. His mouth was a little dry. He returned to the chair and sat down. He took the tea cup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. When he looked up, he saw Fang Jun using his mallet with a sad and miserable look. Looking at myself...
"puff!"
His Majesty Li Er spurted out a mouthful of tea, almost choking, and said angrily: "Don't make any mischief! You look at me with the eyes of a child, do you think I will forgive you?"
"Your Majesty is unfair!" Fang Jun said angrily.
"Where is the injustice?" His Majesty Li Er disagreed.
Fang Jun frowned and said: "Wei Chen was certainly wrong about what happened today, but obviously Zhou Daowu's mistake came first and was more serious, right? But Your Majesty, you are very kind to Zhou Daowu, but you are critical of Wei Chen and harsh words. Wei Chen Very disappointed.”
His Majesty Li Er sneered twice and said: "This is unfair? What will you do with me?"
Fang Jun said: "Wei ministers are not only His Majesty's ministers, but also His Majesty's juniors. If the juniors make mistakes, how can the elders just punish them? The correct way is to combine hardness and softness, with rewards and punishments, so Wen ministers need to be encouraged. .”
The eyes of the chambermaids and maids in the palace almost popped out of their heads. Need encouragement?
This is simply as shameless as a child crying and acting rogue after making a mistake and being beaten by his parents...
Haha, Fangjiro, you are so shameless, why don't you just ask for candy and comfort?
