When Cheng Chuliang saw that Fang Jun was willing to come forward and beg Sun Simiao, his mood improved greatly. He repeatedly encouraged him to drink, and the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became lively.
Li Tai, the king of Wei, picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Fang Jun, and said with a smile: "Erlang is now very lucky. Not only does he have unparalleled military exploits, but he also has a lot of beauty and peach blossoms. I heard that the Princess of Silla begged for it." Queen Seondeok went to the father to propose marriage and made it clear that she would not marry her unless she was you, haha, this really makes me admire her and make her jealous."
When this matter was mentioned, everyone at the table immediately became energetic.
King Li of Qi was the most coquettish person. At this moment, he slapped the table, stared at Fang Jun with bright eyes, and asked: "Now there are rumors that Erlang, you went on a killing spree in Silla that day and killed half of Silla's army." The reason why the Silla royal family was saved and even agreed to Queen Seondeok's request was because Queen Seondeok, who was trapped in the royal castle of Silla at that time, offered herself a pillow and went into battle together with Princess Jindeok and her two sisters. He undressed and took off his belt, and tried his best to keep the royal family intact... Now in the Tang Dynasty, although there are countless people who covet the beauty of their children, they are still unmoved, and they just want to continue their relationship with Erlang. Fate, and even become a slave and a maid... Erlang, tell me, tell me, are these rumors true or false?"
Even Li, who had been silent all this time, was also very interested: "Then Princess Zhende is just a little girl with yellow hair. She hasn't grown out yet, but Queen Shande is really a peerless beauty. I tell you, this Once a woman with a seemingly dignified and cold temperament is conquered, the madness and tenacity revealed between the beds are enough to make every man appreciate her and be unable to stop!"
Fang Jun had a headache and said helplessly: "Where did you hear this nonsense? I was leading the army on an expedition that day. How dare you ignore military law and do such a despicable thing in the military camp? There is no such thing."
This matter must be denied. If someone with intentions takes the opportunity to cause trouble, it will be very bad.
Nowadays, there are countless people in the court watching him, waiting for him to make a mistake. How can he give those individuals such an excuse?
Cheng Chuliang said with a smile: "Erlang doesn't need to explain. Even though we never had an overnight relationship in the past, now Princess Zhende is about to marry into the house as a concubine. She has no relatives but Queen Shande in Chang'an. She must have been very close to Erlang." On the terrace near the water, if you want to kiss and be fragrant, isn’t that just holding it in your hands?”
King Li Tai of Wei took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes and clicked his tongue, imagining the dignified and beautiful appearance of Queen Shande in his mind, and praised: "Even though I am an emperor, a nobleman and a prince of the dynasty, sometimes I have to be jealous of Erlang. Beautiful blessings. Lady Wu Mei is as beautiful as her name, as bright and charming as a peony. Xiao Shuer is unparalleled in beauty, with a pure and beautiful heart. This princess of Zhende is also beautiful and beautiful, with unrivaled beauty. Alas, a great man is standing in the world, with fame, wealth and power. You have taken advantage of all the beauty."
Everyone was talking with envy.
Nowadays, Fang Jun's achievements have long been beyond the reach of all men of the Tang Dynasty. His unparalleled achievements, which are comparable to those of the Han Dynasty Champions, make people feel jealous just thinking about it. Not only that, this man is also a popular person in front of His Majesty. He is favored by no one in the court more than anyone else. He caused such a big trouble today, and the result is only a rank reduction...
For Fang Jun, who is a stick, is that a big deal?
I don't know how many times this guy's official position and title have been demoted. Every time he got into trouble, he was demoted. But who said this guy is so favored by His Majesty? Moreover, he is indeed capable and can handle everything His Majesty asks him to do beautifully. Not to mention anything else, just bringing back shiploads of silver from the Japanese country is enough to make Your Majesty be generous and indulgent to him. , this official title may be restored one day, and it is not difficult to even move up to a higher level...
Speaking of which, this man is a strange flower in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty.
Especially for such a beautiful blessing, it is no longer envy, but deep jealousy.
Not to mention Princess Gaoyang, she is a royal princess. For Fang Xuanling’s son, marriage with the royal family is a must. Even if there is no Princess Gaoyang, there will be other princesses to marry. His Majesty Li Er’s daughters are all beautiful. As beautiful as a flower as she is on the outside, there is no one who is bad at it.
But if you look at the concubines, they are really eye-catching.
The most important thing is that Wu Meiniang, Xiao Shuer, and even Princess Zhende all took the initiative to enter Fang Jun's room, and Fang Jun never bothered about it at all...
Facing the envious and jealous eyes of a group of people, Fang Jun felt dizzy and said helplessly: "I am not a person who likes sex, I dare not call myself a gentleman, but I am also upright and self-possessed, but all of them have to be stuffed into the room." People, but I still can’t refuse, so I can’t help it!”
"Hey, hey, room two, that's too much!"
"That's right, you're getting an advantage and still behaving like a good boy!"
"Seeing that you are so aggrieved, why don't you choose one of them and send it to my house? Whichever one you want, we won't pick!"
"Look at the face of a well-fed man like you who doesn't know how hungry a hungry man is. Why do you deserve a beating so much?"
…
This sentence aroused public outrage, and everyone denounced it one after another.
Fang Jun quickly begged for mercy and toasted three glasses of wine to himself.
Then it calmed down a little...
"Erlang, the 'Martial Arts Hall' class is about to start. How is the preparation going?"
As the host, Cheng Chuliang made a toast, drank a toast, and asked while pouring the wine for Fang Jun himself.
The major event in Chang'an right now is the upcoming "Martial Arts Lecture Hall".
Officers above the rank of lieutenant colonel were transferred to the "Martial Arts Hall" in batches to give lessons. After graduation, the emperor personally issued graduation certificates and conferred new military ranks. This had already set off a huge wave among the various armies of the Tang Dynasty.
The emperor is the lord of the world. The Han people who have "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" have already been engraved in their bones, who can resist this honor?
Not to mention that as long as you enter the "Martial Arts Hall", it means that you will become an officer who is specially trained. You will have a bright future in the future, be promoted and make a fortune...
Therefore, everyone's eyes are fixed on the first batch of students in the "Martial Arts Hall".
As long as you can be among them, it means glory and future. How can you not make those officers who are descendants of aristocratic families flock to you?
Not to mention the "Gewuyuan" where Fang Jun personally compiled the teaching materials and presided over the teaching. Who doesn't know that Fang Erlang's knowledge of mathematics is the best in the world, and his knowledge of things is unparalleled in the world?
Not everyone wants to be in the army, become an officer, or preside over the six ministries or govern. There are thousands of officials in the Tang Dynasty, from the court to the local government, and they need all kinds of talents, especially now that the emperors are successively The imperial edict called on the students of the Tang Dynasty to "apply what they have learned", and there were many official positions for specialists who were proficient in arithmetic, astronomy, investigation of objects and other subjects.
Not everyone will have the opportunity to become a prince, become a prime minister, or rule the world in the end. For more people, it is more practical and appropriate to rely on professional knowledge to seek a stable official position in the court. Target.
When Fang Jun saw everyone looking over, he said: "The preparations for the school are going well, and classes are tentatively scheduled to start around the Mid-Autumn Festival. I know what you mean, but regarding the selection and selection of students, everything must be decided by His Majesty. Who can I can’t get in, and I’m also helpless.”
Everyone wants to put their own children into the list of the first batch of students. Not to mention anything else, the first batch of students will almost certainly enter the emperor's eyes. Even if they just glance at their names and have an impression in their hearts, this will be of great benefit to the students in the future. In terms of his official career, it is equivalent to a recommendation at the level of a prime minister.
Because of this, this list is naturally sought after by all forces.
As the organizer of the "Martial Arts Hall" and the default number two figure in the "Martial Arts Hall" in the future, Fang Jun naturally has the say in the selection of the list, but he wisely entrusts all this power to His Majesty Li Er. , never get involved.
Although this power can gather people, it is also too offending...
Given Fang Jun's current situation, he did not want to be eager to cultivate his power, but he wanted to keep a low profile and avoid becoming the target of public criticism.
He pushed it all away so quickly, and everyone at the banquet naturally sighed.
If Fang Jun could have the power to advise on this list, and if we all know each other well, and if we ask each other for a living, and promise some benefits, he would be able to recommend his own children to it, but now the power is in the hands of His Majesty... who dares to follow? The emperor asked for such a favor?
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the banquet is over.
Cheng Chuliang sent them to the door of the house one by one, telling everyone to come early tomorrow, and then said goodbye reluctantly.
At the last moment of the curfew, Fang Jun, who was slightly drunk, returned to the house and went straight into the backyard.
