Xu Jingzong has received mixed reviews in history, but most people classify him as a "sycophant". He is not a loyal person, but he is not a traitor, because he did not cause too bad consequences by himself. It is enough to make future generations sad and bring shame to the history of love.
As one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, Xu Jingzong’s knowledge was undoubtedly among the best in the world at that time. In the past, His Majesty Li Er and Xu Jingzong had a “monarch-minister relationship” and once left a message: “The spring rain is like ointment, and the farmers are happy with it.” Moist, travelers hate the mud; the autumn moon is like a mirror, beauties love it, but thieves hate its brightness. ... A person with a seven-foot body, beware of a three-inch tongue; there is a dragon spring on the tongue, killing people without blood" is a peerless aphorism, even if there are more than a thousand Years have passed, but its power to alert the world has not diminished.
His biggest criticism is that his character is extremely poor.
In the last years of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er asked him to participate in the writing of "Records of Wude" and "Records of Zhenguan". Since then, his literary talent has been deeply favored by the emperor. Xu Jingzong has participated in almost all history books compiled by countries, and even many The overall outline was summarized for the first time, and the momentum was unprecedented.
But how did Xu Jingzong repay the emperor's trust?
In the 14th year of Daye, Yu Wenhuaji rebelled in Jiangdu and killed Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, Xu Jingzong's father Xu Shanxin was killed together with Yu Shiji, and Deyi was granted the title of internal historian of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Qiancheng witnessed the situation at that time, Later he told people: "Yu Shiji was executed, Shinan fell to the ground and begged to die for his brother, Shanxin was executed, Jingzong danced and danced to survive."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Jingzong's character immediately deteriorated infinitely and he became a laughing stock, which was looked down upon by noble people.
Xu Jingzong held a grudge. When it came time for him to compile a history book and write a biography for Deyi, he arbitrarily imposed the crimes of Feng Deyi. Many of the crimes that were not complete and untrue or even unknown were all compiled in the book.
Xu Jingzong had two daughters, one of whom married Feng Ang's eldest son and collected a large amount of betrothal gifts. Feng Ang was the leader of the officials at that time, and was always called a barbarian by the sergeants in the court. Therefore, everyone looked down upon him for "selling his daughters to seek glory." "The reason for this was that the other woman was Chao Guogong Qian Jiulong. This man was originally a slave of the royal family. He was promoted to a noble title because of his merit. The officials in the court looked down on his origin and were ashamed of his association. However, Xu Jingzong was greedy for money and married him. , and even in order to improve Qian Jiulong's family status, he deliberately stated his family status, gave him unreasonable achievements, and promoted him to the same roll as Liu Wenjing and Changsun Shunde.
Xu Jingzong married Yuchi Baolin's granddaughter for his son, and received a lot of bribes. When it was time to write the biography of Yuchi Jingde, Yuchi Baolin's father, he shamelessly concealed all kinds of faults and guilt for him. His Majesty Li Er did "Wei Feng Fu" was given to Changsun Wuji, but when Xu Jingzong wrote his biography, it was rewritten to be given to Yuchi Jingde...
The history of the country has been tampered with by people who loved and hated it. There are countless such things.
Later generations even ranked him with Fei Wuji, Dazai Pei and other evildoers...
…
Fang Jun looked at the two pink and jade-shaped women with beautiful faces, and the long-silent memory of the original owner gradually revived in his heart. He remembered that Fang and Xu's families were still on good terms when they were young, and the two beautiful little girls and Playing in the garden behind him...
Taking a deep breath and forcing out a smile, Fang Jun clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Yes, I haven't seen my two sisters for a long time, but I never imagined that they would turn out to be so beautiful and immortal. If we hadn't met here, We meet on the street in the future, but I don’t dare to recognize him as a brother."
The two girls were a little shy, their faces were red, they lowered their heads slightly, and said in unison: "I don't dare to praise Erlang. Erlang has made great achievements now and is a hero of the world. My sisters also often sigh, I only hope that Erlang will be better on the battlefield." Good luck avoids bad luck, and you will live a long life.”
Fang Jun said with a smile: "How long you live is determined by God. How can a mortal make the decision? But as long as you do less immoral things, it is not difficult to live a long life. At least you have to find out which family in Chang'an City the young man is from. Junyan can be so blessed to marry two beautiful, intelligent, gentle and considerate sisters. He must give a big gift to his brother. Maybe if Ruyi husband is an old acquaintance, he will definitely have a bridal chamber. At that time, the sisters can't I hate being a brother, haha!”
The two daughters of the Xu family blushed and spat in unison, while Xu Jingzong and Qian Jiulong beside them all had scornful expressions on their faces.
Xu Jingzong was so angry that his teeth itched. How could this stick be specifically against him?
In the past, it was just a slap in the face for not giving yourself face, but now you are actually sarcastic, scolding yourself for doing too many immoral things and not being able to die a good death... The son you are so special to is not my son. If I die a good death or not, does that have anything to do with you?
Regardless of the presence of the three His Highnesses, he said with a cold face: "Prince-in-law, please be careful what you say. At that time, I was young and ignorant, so it was enough to get closer. Now that we have grown up, it is better to keep some distance to avoid harm." The reputation of my daughter’s family has been restored.”
After hearing what their father said, the two girls from the Xu family showed disappointment and grievance on their faces. They all lowered their heads and remained silent.
At first, she was rude and resisted her father's arrangement. Then she met Fang Jun by chance. Thinking of her childhood friendship, and seeing that he could accompany the three most authoritative princes, she fantasized about whether Fang Jun could help them. But now it's... I know it's unrealistic.
As his father said, once Fang Jun intervenes in this matter, not to mention ruining their reputation, even Fang Jun himself will inevitably be slandered. For a young official who has already been in the court, it is really a huge hidden danger. .
How could a mere childhood friend, not even a childhood sweetheart, be willing to make such a huge sacrifice?
Qian Jiulong interjected: "I've heard that Fang Erlang's reputation is not very good. If you really care about your childhood friend, you should be more careful in your words and deeds."
He was really annoyed.
He had just discussed the marriage with Xu Jingzong and prepared a large sum of money to marry a girl as his second love, but then he encountered such a disgusting thing. Childhood playmates, and even childhood sweethearts, are ignorant of each other, and it is not uncommon for them to even try to get married while playing house. Moreover, because of the purity of this childhood relationship, which has no personal interests involved, many people will never forget it in their lifetime.
For a man who is extremely possessive, how can he describe how disgusting it is to encounter his soon-to-be wife who is still close to his childhood playmate?
Li Ke didn't like hearing it.
He always regarded Fang Jun as his confidant and the closest person besides his brothers and sisters. How could he allow these two villains to humiliate him?
Dang Ji said coldly: "I don't agree with what Duke Chao said. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, Duke Chao falsely said that the character of the prince's son-in-law was flawed, but he was insinuating that slandering my three brothers was also a lack of moral character. A shameless person?"
Qian Jiulong's face turned red and he quickly said: "His Royal Highness the King of Wu has misunderstood, I never meant this..."
Fang Jun interrupted him, glanced at Xu Jingzong, and asked: "You two are elegant and noble, traveling around the lake to enjoy the snow, but you don't know that the topic discussed on the boat is how many rare treasures can you receive by marrying Rong Niang to Lingnan?" , or betroth Wei Niang to the Duke of Chao as a second wife, how much gold and silver gift can I get?"
Xu Jingzong's face instantly turned red and he said angrily: "This is my family matter, why should you worry about it?"
Fang Jun said angrily: "Fart! You old man is immortal, who wants to take another look? But he married one of his biological daughters to the misty land of Lingnan without caring about life or death, and the other married to this dying coffin. , all you ask for is money as a betrothal gift, why do you still want to be so shameless?"
Xu Jingzong was so angry that his hands trembled, he scratched his neck and said: "You are just a stick. Do you think you can do whatever you want by relying on His Majesty's favor?"
Qian Jiulong on the side almost fell down in anger.
Dying person... coffin flesh?
Mother!
This little bastard has such a venomous mouth that he deserves to be killed!
He glared at Fang Jun and shouted angrily: "You are so rude! How dare you humiliate me like this?"
Fang Jun looked at him dismissively: "Why, did I scold you wrong? The loess is buried up to your neck, and you want to harm my eldest daughter. You are nothing! Not convinced? Come on, let's compete. In If I take three moves under my command, I will admit that you are not a coffin-blood, and I will kowtow to you and admit your mistake."
Qian Jiulong stared and breathed heavily, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Look at how powerful you are. After two rounds, I can't help but break this old bone apart for you?
"Your Highnesses, please make the decision for me!" Qian Jiulong heard Fang Jun's name for a long time and knew that he was a stick. If he got angry, he might dare to give himself a beating. Given the emperor's love for him, he might give him a beating. The fight was in vain, but he really couldn't get off the stage, so he had to turn to the three princes for help.
Li Chengqian was silent for a moment, but before Li Ke could speak, it was Li Tai who encouraged him: "Didn't Duke Chao brag all day about how he bravely championed the three armies and was invincible when he followed the emperor's grandfather in raising an army? I am young. , I was unable to see the style of Duke Chao back then. Today, I have this great opportunity. Why don’t you, Duke Chao, let us juniors see your bravery? If you are afraid of accidentally hurting Fang Jun’s life and not being able to talk to Fang, our brothers I want to testify to you that it was Fang Jun who provoked me first. Regardless of life or death, my brother also supports you when this lawsuit is brought before my father!"
Qian Jiulong: "..."
Do you think I'm an old fool?
It’s just a rumor that I’m brave enough to win the three armies. What’s more, even so, it was decades ago. Fang Jun is famous for his ability to hit with a mallet. Should I fight with him?
No matter life or death?
They all say that the sword hidden in King Wei's smile is nothing, and it is indeed true...
