"Your Highness has misunderstood, Wei Chen and Princess Fangling are innocent..." Fang Jun was eager to defend.
Princess Jiujiang smiled disdainfully and curled her lips and said: "How has my sister ever had an innocent relationship with a man? Men are all sneaky cats. A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a thief. Such a noble and coquettish person With all the beauties in my mouth, are you still a man if I don’t eat them? Ask this general, if he has the chance, will he devour them ravenously or treat them with respect?"
Xue Wanche scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Haha, this... that... haha."
Fang Jun: "..."
The yellow mud fell into your crotch, right?
Okay, think whatever you want, a man as pure as a lotus like Brother Xi is an existence you cannot understand...
Princess Jiujiang looked at Fang Jun's disapproving look, sighed quietly, and said: "It's not that I am nosy, but since you and Shiro treat each other sincerely, how can I watch you find your own way out and turn a blind eye? The scandal between Fangling sister and Yang Yuzhi caused a lot of fuss, and the emperor was very angry. Yang Yuzhi was also lucky, and was hacked to death by Dou Fengjie, otherwise the emperor would have had to cut him into pieces! The reputation of the royal family among the people is indeed not very good, but You have to remember that some things are vague and vague, and the emperor is too generous to take them seriously, but if it is confirmed and the royal family loses face, no matter who it is, the emperor will not spare him!"
Fang Jun suddenly realized.
Where is this talking about Princess Fangling?
It was clearly a warning to himself not to have an affair with Princess Changle. There were some rumors, and the emperor was too lazy to pay attention to them. But once it became a fact and was exposed, the emperor would definitely disown his relatives if he raised the butcher knife!
Fang Jun could only say: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will always reflect on myself and never make any mistakes."
In any case, this is the goodwill shown by others, and I should appreciate such tactful advice.
Princess Jiujiang smiled brightly and said: "I know you are a smart person...Okay, the general is about to go on an expedition, and there are still many things to prepare for, so I won't bother Erlang to become a Shennong family who will give birth to hundreds of herbs and benefit all people!"
Fang Jun smiled: "Your Highness, walk slowly, I will see you off."
Although this Princess of Jiujiang is somewhat self-righteous, arrogant and willful, she is also a woman with a cheerful personality, which is a good match for someone like Xue Wanche.
…
Just after sending Xue Wanche and his wife away, a servant came to report that Fang Xuanling had ordered him to return to Chang'an Mansion to discuss important matters.
When I asked the servant what was going on, the servant shook his head and didn't know.
Fang Jun didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly put on a fox fur and a mink hat, took a few soldiers with him, and galloped down the mountain on a fast horse.
The sky was as gloomy as lead, and goose-feather-like snow was falling, filling the space between heaven and earth, and the vision was vast. Fortunately, the north wind was blowing snowflakes and the climate was extremely cold. Otherwise, after the heavy snow fell to the ground, it melted into ice, and another layer of snow fell on top, making it even more slippery and the road would be impossible to travel.
While riding on the horse, the cold wind carried snowflakes and rushed towards my face, cutting my face like a knife.
Lishan Mountain in the wind and snow is like a horse standing in the wind. It has no galloping momentum, but it stands proudly, making it even more powerful.
The smoke from cooking stoves rose above the houses in the mountain valley, and was soon blown away by the north wind.
All the way into Chang'an, there were yamen from Jingzhao Mansion on the streets, instructing slaves to clean the streets. Although the snow was too heavy, the streets that had just been swept were covered with another layer of snow as soon as I turned around, but it was not enough. It's not difficult to travel without crossing the horseshoes.
There are few people on the street.
After riding the horse to the door of the house, a servant had already run out and took the reins of the horse. Fang Jun jumped off the horse and strode into the courtyard.
…
There was a brazier burning in the study and an earth dragon burning underground. As soon as Fang Jun entered the room, he felt a heat wave hit his face.
Fang Jun frowned. Although the elderly are afraid of the cold, a cold can kill most of their lives, but living in such a hot and dry environment for a long time will reduce their own immunity and lead to the degradation of body functions. This is not a good thing. Thinking about how to persuade me later, I heard two soft and soft voices...
"Daddy..."
"dad……"
Two little figures, carved in pink and jade, rushed towards him.
The baby was still young and couldn't walk very well. After running for a few times, he fell down. Fang Jun was smiling, but he didn't step forward to help him. He looked at the two little faces of Xun Ran who were about to cry and felt extremely aggrieved, and encouraged him: "Stand up quickly and come to daddy."
The eldest brother Fang Shu bit his lip and stood up, staggering over, while the second brother Fang You pursed his lips and crawled over on his hands and feet, drooling and giggling...
Fang Jun picked up his two sons, one in each hand, and said to Fang Xuanling on the chair, "The children have seen their father."
Fang Xuanling was stroking his messy beard. When he saw his two grandsons hugging each other's necks and giggling loudly, he said with some displeasure: "Boys should be strictly disciplined since they were young. They should not be arrogant or spoiled. Otherwise, a spoiled child is like killing his father. How will he know the rules and endure hardships when he grows up?"
Fang Jun said: "That's what my father taught me."
But you secretly curled your lips, and you said the same thing, seemingly harsh, but why is your beard, which you cherish so much, so messy?
You doted on your child to no end, but then you came back to teach me a lesson...
Okay, you are the father, you are the oldest, so it makes sense.
Sitting on the chair, his two sons stood on his lap and jumped on each side. Fang Jun was afraid that the children would fall, so he put his hands around their waists. The two boys jumped happily, giggling and drooling. When the elder came out, he moved the second child into his arms and leaned against his chest. With one free hand, he wiped the saliva from the corner of the elder's mouth with a handkerchief. Then the two sons changed, doing the same thing.
While busy with his hands, he asked: "Why did father call me back?"
Fang Xuanling clicked his tongue, looking at the two grandsons looking so happy, and said, "Give me one and hold both of them. It would be terrible if it breaks."
Fang Jun handed the boss over. As soon as Fang Shu reached his grandfather's arms, he grabbed his grandfather's beard, pulled it hard a few times, and put it into his mouth...
Although the beard was pinched and hurt, Fang Xuanling did not feel annoyed at all. Instead, she smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "Hey, dear grandson, you can't eat your beard..."
Fang Jun's eyes twitched.
No wonder people say that children cannot be brought to the elderly. There is no limit to the old man pampering his children. Look at the old man like this. He was just giving him a lesson. Now, even if the child comes to the house, he is smiling and reluctant to curse or hit him. For a moment, how could he look like a wise old man or the prime minister of a country?
There is no doubt that these two children will be able to read as many books as Fang Xuanling by their side. It is certain that they will become two dudes...
The wet nurse outside saw that the father and son obviously had something to talk about, so she walked in and took the two children away. Only then did the study stop.
After the maid served tea and the two men drank a cup, Fang Xuanling asked: "What happened to you over there in Lishan Mountain? It is unwise to be indifferent to the affairs of the Ministry of War and to be suspected of neglecting one's duties. Your Majesty is the leader of a country. Sir, it’s okay if you have different opinions, you should speak out and speak out, and don’t hold any grudges.”
Fang Jun explained the importance of seeds.
No way, he said this countless times in front of countless people, but everyone thought he was exaggerating. No one seriously believed what kind of yield corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes would have, and what kind of earth-shaking changes it would bring to Datang. Variety.
Obviously, Fang Xuanling doesn't believe it either...
"Since those seeds are so important, and the officials at Sinong Temple cannot compare with your agricultural skills, it is only right that you take on everything. But how can you slack off the government affairs of the Ministry of War because of this? The soldiers are the military state. You must not relax even a little bit on important matters. As the left minister of the Ministry of War, you are the de facto highest officer of the Ministry of War. Once there is any omission in the Ministry of War, whether it is your decision or not, you are the first person responsible. When His Majesty asks you to answer the question, you How to excuse yourself? Moreover, the current situation in northern Xinjiang is unrest, the Turks surrender, and Xue Yantuo are all ready to take action. If the situation worsens, Xue Yantuo breaks through the Dingxiang defense line and marches straight in to stage another "Wei River Alliance". Where is your majesty's face? Where is the majesty of the empire? To survive? How many people must be slaughtered by foreign butcher knives, and how many fertile fields must be trampled by barbarians' iron hoofs? Food is the foundation of a country, but it is definitely not the only basis for a country's strength. People's support and morale are the most important! A person is knocked down by foreigners. A country with a broken backbone has fear growing in its heart. It trembles when it sees scimitars and cavalry. Even if it has millions of armors and a warehouse full of grain, what's the use?"
Fang Jun woke up from a dream, sweating profusely.
