Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Haha, Xian Kunzhong has not visited this king's door for a long time. What kind of wind has brought you two here today? Come on, come and take your seats quickly. I have ordered people to prepare a banquet. Let's have a few drinks. .”
Li Yuanjing was full of enthusiasm and welcomed the Gao brothers into the central hall and sat down respectively.
Gao Xingyi said: "I have been busy these past few days, so I haven't come to say hello to the prince. I just have free time today, so I came to sit and bother the prince."
"What you said is true, isn't it?"
The maid served the fragrant tea, and Li Yuanjing reached out for the tea. Then he looked at Gao Zhenxing and said curiously: "Silang looks gloomy, but is he encountering something troublesome? Tell me, if you can do it, I am obliged."
Li Yuanjing has always been frivolous and loves to mingle with young people. He also knows how to get along with young people. Fang Jun, Du He and others have all been friends with Li Yuanjing and admire him very much.
It's just that for some unknown reason, Fang Jun suddenly distanced himself from him and even turned against him. This puzzled Li Yuanjing, and he kept feeling depressed and couldn't let go...
At first, Li Yuanjing was quite annoyed. He was a little stick, but because you are Fang Xuanling's son and you have some use value, who would want to pay attention to you? If you are estranged, you will be estranged. From now on, you will stay far away from me!
But who would have thought that this stick suddenly enlightened him. He was no longer the dull and stupid boy he used to be, but became articulate and stunningly talented. He even caught the eyes of His Majesty, and in the blink of an eye he became a hot celebrity in the court. , from the yamen of the Ministry of Industry to the Jingzhao Mansion, and then to the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, his official position rose all the way, and he even fought for the title of a marquis, which was like going to heaven...
As a result, Li Yuanjing became even more depressed.
He befriended these officials' children just to pave the way for the future. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was prepared for a rainy day. He thought that when the group of courtiers who followed His Majesty to conquer the country gradually grew old, the world would be dominated by the children of these noble families in the future. Make friends in advance, and when you take action, there will definitely be a crowd of responders.
However, the children of this group of aristocratic families are still crazy and dandy all day long, and they don't do business. Instead, Fang Jun, who has clearly drawn the line, suddenly emerges...
From then on, Li Yuanjing secretly vowed to do his best to make friends with the children of these aristocratic families, and no one could be alienated anymore.
Who knows which one will be the next Fang Jun?
This kind of mistake will never be tolerated again.
Gao Zhenxing sighed and said angrily: "Now that my father has become an official, I am afraid that no one will take the Bohai Gao family in their eyes anymore, and everyone will be able to ride on the Gao family's head and dominate. My brothers are not greedy for wealth and power. generation, but seeing the lintel of the family decline and fall in the hands of our unworthy descendants, how can we live up to our ancestors, and how can we live up to our children and grandchildren?"
Li Yuanjing's mind was spinning, and he immediately understood the purpose of the two brothers' visit.
This is because you have been angry elsewhere and come to yourself to find comfort and ask for a promise...
I was immediately overjoyed.
Gao Shilian is now very old. He hides in his house all day without seeing outsiders. He is afraid that he will not have a few more days to live. As long as Gao Shilian dies, the Gao family will plummet, and they will quickly fall from the top level of the family. However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, the Bohai Gao family is a prominent family with endless heritage. Although the Gao brothers are not extremely talented, they are full of poems and books, both civil and military, and there are still people with qualifications such as Gao Jifu. North Korea.
Now that the Gao brothers have come to visit, this means that they have planned to stand firmly on their side...
Li Yuanjing was excited, slapped his thigh, and feigned anger: "This is simply unreasonable! What kind of powerful family is the Bohai Gao family? Back then, Duke Shen supported His Majesty in times of crisis and even married his niece to His Majesty. The whole family put aside life and death and stood behind His Majesty. It can be said that among His Majesty's grand plans, the Bohai Gao family has made the greatest contribution. Even the eldest grandson family cannot compare with it. How can he let Pei Xiao be insulted? I hate that this king is just an idle prince. Otherwise, he will definitely come to your door to give virtuous people. Kunzhong finds justice!"
This is what the Gao brothers want. Although King Jing has no ability at the moment, even if he had the ability, he would not dare to really trouble anyone. But he only needs an attitude in everything. Now that he has no ability, how can it be possible for everyone to work together and go? Just fight for a bright future.
Gao Xingcheng immediately stood up, bowed his hands to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's righteousness is so great that my brothers are sincerely convinced. I am willing to follow Your Majesty's lead and never let him down!"
Gao Zhenxing also followed suit and said loudly: "As long as the prince orders me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Li Yuanjing was simply overjoyed. What could be more comforting than having someone walking with you on a difficult road?
He quickly stood up, stretched out his hand to help each other, and said with emotion: "Xian Kunzhong looks up to this king, and I swear to the sky that in this life, we will share wealth and adversity, and we will never lose each other! If you swear to this, the sky will thunder!"
"Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty..."
Six hands supporting each other, six eyes facing each other, tenderness and lasting affection...
"Ding-deng-deng!"
A general came running quickly outside the door. When he saw the situation in the hall, he was slightly startled. He quickly stopped and called out: "Your Majesty..."
Li Yuanjing was furious.
Don’t you see that we are so in love with each other and so in love with each other?
You actually came here to disturb my mood, you don’t have the eyesight to see it!
"Get out!"
"Your Majesty..."
The general was so frightened that his face turned pale and he broke out in cold sweat. However, he did not obey the order and stood at the door bravely.
Li Yuanjing took a look and realized that there was something important...
"If you have anything to do, just say it bluntly. I will strengthen my arms here. There is no need to evade."
The cold sweat on the general's head started to flow even more, and he murmured: "This... Wangye Mingjian, this matter is of great importance, so what..."
"Um?"
Li Yuanjing was suspicious.
Even after he said so, the family general still hesitated without seeing anything, which showed that what happened was not trivial, and it was obvious that he could not let outsiders know.
But I just said it openly, now I have to avoid the Gao brothers, how embarrassing...
Gao Xingyi took a look and said quickly: "Since the prince has important matters to deal with, my brother will leave first. My father has not been feeling well these days. He invited the imperial doctor to the house for treatment earlier, so he has to wait on him."
Li Yuanjing nodded resolutely: "Then I should go back and wait in front of the bed, change the invitation from the King of Japan, and invite the virtuous Kunzhong to come to the house to pay a visit."
"My lord, take your leave."
"You two, walk slowly."
After sending the Gao brothers to the door, Li Yuanjing came back with a sullen face, glared at the general, and said angrily: "Give me a reason to avoid the Gao brothers, or I will skin you!"
The general was so frightened that he sweated profusely, squeaked, and finally gritted his teeth and said with a heartbeat: "Earlier, the prince asked us to follow Madam Dong secretly. Today, Madam Dong went out, and we secretly followed behind and found... Discover……"
Li Yuanjing was shocked: "What did you find?"
Ever since Madam Dong entered the palace, even the royal princes like Li Yuanjing, who were used to seeing the most beautiful women in the world, have been deceived by her. His status in the back palace of the palace increased day by day, and gradually even Princess Jing felt threatened...
Li Yuanjing didn't take it seriously.
He loves the country, but he also loves beauty. What's wrong with a man doting on his beloved woman? Back then, the King of Chu led his troops on an expedition and even took Yu Ji with him...
But he also has a heart problem.
This Madam Dong was gentle, graceful, knowledgeable and courteous, and Li Yuanjing couldn't stop sleeping in bed. The only disadvantage was that she had to leave the mansion from time to time, and the servants were not allowed to follow her.
Although a woman is not stuck in the front door, her behavior is arousing suspicion...
Li Yuanjing sent someone to follow her secretly in order to keep track of Madam Dong's every move. This woman was the top figure in Zuixian Tower back then, and was once involved in an "assassination case." Although her reputation was enough to suppress all these things, the impact was still not good.
What's more, he was afraid that this charming little lady would have a crush outside...
Fang Jun had been Dong Mingyue's guest at the beginning. Although Li Yuanjing himself verified that Dong Mingyue was a virgin, who knows if once he meets Fang Jun, his old love will rekindle and Hongxing will cheat?
This is absolutely intolerable!
Li Yuanjing simply couldn't imagine how he would become the laughing stock of the entire Chang'an officialdom once his beloved woman was seduced by Fang Jun and that guy... What was especially important was that Fang Jun was young, strong and energetic, and not bad looking either. What if Mrs. Dong knows the taste of the marrow and dislikes her?
It's a matter of man's self-esteem, Li Yuanjing will never allow this kind of thing to happen.
At this moment, Li Yuanjing's heart was clenched when he saw his general squeaking. Could it be that the thing he was most worried about finally happened?
The general's eyes turned red when he saw his prince, and he did not dare to delay and said: "Mrs. Dong went to Ximing Temple to have a tryst with a monk..."
"Bang!" Li Yuanjing felt as if his head had been struck by a thunderbolt.
Mother!
I had calculated everything, but it turned out that I was not having a tryst with Fang Jun, but a monk?
This is simply unreasonable!
