At the beginning, I gathered a group of relatives and even condescended to lead a group of young dudes to eat, drink and have fun, just thinking that one day I could be of great use.
Li Yuanjing is very patient about the little ambition in his heart. He knows that he will not actually have any chance to get involved in that position, but he always hides that longing. He needs to be prepared, even if such an opportunity comes in his lifetime. There is no chance, but once the opportunity arises, he must have enough strength to seize it.
Therefore, he tried his best to win over the people around him and patiently waited for their growth.
But Li Yuanjing also understands that life is always a feast, and things in the world are unpredictable. There will always be people who alienate themselves for one reason or another. All this will not change because of his good intentions. There is no need to lament and feel sorry for those who drift away as soon as they walk away. It is enough for him to wholeheartedly win over those who are still by his side.
As a result, Fang Jun completely broke up with him, and Xue Wanche parted ways with him...
Every time, Li Yuanjing encouraged himself from the bottom of his heart: These people are short-sighted and not worth cherishing. When he achieves great things in the future, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Then, Fang Jun suddenly rose up into the sky, and the light was so dazzling!
Xue Wanche also made great contributions to Mobei, and was even reused by the emperor. He went to serve as the governor of Yingzhou, controlled the troops in Liaodong, and was about to become the pioneer of the Eastern Expedition.
And what about these people who stayed?
Chai Lingwu was no longer useful. He was a few years older than Fang Jun, but he could only work as a temple minister in Taipu Temple, raising horses and building chariots all day long. Du He and the prince were getting closer and closer, and they were carrying an imperial gift. In the official position of Shangcheng Fengyu, he was idle and idle. Qiu Xinggong's reputation plummeted because of his betrayal of Gao Shilian.
Li Yuanjing regretted that his intestines were turning green...
He also couldn't figure out why the people who left him all rose to great heights and were promoted to high positions, while the people who stayed with him were in decline. Could it be that he was a bumbling star?
But this king is destined to "hold the sun and the moon"...
…
Li Yuanjing was depressed, but he couldn't show it too obviously. After all, although Du He and Chai Lingwu had no prominent official positions, they still had the shadow of their families. Many ministers in the court wanted to pay more attention to them for the sake of their fathers. Take care of me and get things done very smoothly.
Is it possible to say that the two of you and Fang Jun are both playboys? Why are you still two delicious and lazy caterpillars while they continue to evolve and transform into butterflies just before your eyes?
He could only say: "That's because Fang Er is capable. Look at all those achievements. Even the king is jealous when he sees them. How can your majesty not reuse them? Besides, after all, this is a matter for the court. I have always been indifferent to government affairs and cannot get involved."
Chai Lingwu hurriedly said: "How could the prince allow Fang Jun to ascend to such a high position? Now the news has spread that Fang Jun is about to take up the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War. This is the chief of three provinces and six ministries, a first-class official position with real power in the court. If If you enter the Military Aircraft Department again, you will definitely become famous and unparalleled. But please think about it, Your Majesty, that guy from the second room is specifically against you and has stripped you of your face more than once. Even Xue Wanche was bewitched by his evil words. You parted ways. Before this, he was nothing, so he could not take you seriously. Once he enters the military aircraft department, he may not even greet you when he meets you in the future... Your Majesty, you are broad-minded and generous. It's like a mountain, but outsiders don't know it. Outsiders only see Fang Jun riding on your head and domineering, but you are helpless and can only let it go. If this continues, the damage to your reputation, the prince, will be immeasurable."
Um?
Li Yuanjing was startled, stroking his beard and muttered: "This..."
Chai Lingwu saw that he was hesitant and quickly added his jealousy: "My lord, please think about it. Fang Er and I were close to you at first, but later on, this guy didn't care about your care and support for many years, and married Princess Gaoyang and changed it to another one." Like a human being, you are ungrateful and add insult to injury, and even clashed with you several times, causing you to lose face. If you can exert pressure at this time to cause Fang Jun's plan to enter the military aircraft office to fail, you will not only be able to make everyone in Chang'an see your Energy can also let those around you know the consequences of betraying you."
Li Yuanjing was shocked when he heard this.
He was still hesitant before. On the one hand, he was unwilling to provoke Fang Jun, and on the other hand, Chai Lingwu had revealed that many military generals were on Fang Jun's side. If he took action rashly, a successful sniper attack would certainly relieve his anger, but he would never Once you encounter someone with a disgraced face, wouldn’t you feel uncomfortable?
Now he heard Chai Lingwu say, "Your energy can be seen in Chang'an City", which made him break into a cold sweat.
Because he had already accidentally exposed his fault by sending He Gan Chengji to Jiangnan, he was able to prevaricate it because His Majesty Li Er did not want to repeat the drama of "killing brothers and killing brothers" again.
But he knew that His Majesty Li Er had already been wary of him, so the top priority was not to win over people, let alone suppress Fang Jun, but to hide one's capabilities and bide one's time and be a tortoise, and not do anything out of the ordinary.
Let everyone see his energy... Wouldn't it be true that the more people see his energy, the more fearful His Majesty Li Er will be, and the faster he will die?
Mother!
This Chai Lingwu was indeed a fool. If he had listened to him, wouldn't he have died unjustly?
Scolding and scolding would definitely not work. Although Li Yuanjing wanted to chop Chai Lingwu into pieces with a single knife at this moment, he only had so many people around him and expected them to win over the ministers of the DPRK for him, so he had to pretend to be generous. Waving his hand: "What did Chai Erlang say? Although Fang Er's brother broke up with me, at least I used to treat him as a nephew. Now that he has made a difference and is in a high position, I am also happy to see him. , how could you do that kind of thing that adds insult to injury? This is not my king’s style and must not be done.”
Du He, who had been silent the whole time, bowed his hands and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty is kind and honest, and we admire him greatly."
Chai Lingwu's eyes widened with disappointment on his face.
In the past, Fang Jun was arrogant and bossy in front of him, and he didn't take him seriously at all. Now that Fang Jun is in a high position, he is like a big boss in the court. The gap between him and me is as big as a cloud. I'm afraid he will not be there for the rest of his life. You have to look up to him and pretend to be a grandson in front of others, right?
He wasn't just filled with regret.
Speaking of which, all these changes started with a brick of his. If he hadn't planned to beat Fang Jun, how would the mallet have been able to work?
If I had known this, I might as well have had someone else slap a brick on my head...
Li Yuanjing also completely woke up at this moment.
Even if he takes action to snipe Fang Jun, how can he succeed so easily? Most of the people around him are deputies in various government agencies, and they don't actually have much real power. His biggest reliance is not on power or strength, but on his status as a nobleman.
It was precisely because he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor's younger brother that he could receive the support of the courtiers when the opportunity came.
In terms of strength, it is indeed not his strong point. Why use his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points?
Since you can achieve a dream like "holding the sun and moon in your hands", it must be a good sign from God. Hold back, hold on, wait for the opportunity to come, and never act rashly, ruining all hope.
Things like sending people to Jiangnan must not be done a second time...
Li Yuanjing was cheering himself up in his mind when he saw the servant of the palace walking into the study quickly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, General Qiu is outside asking for an audience."
Li Yuanjing was stunned for a moment, General Qiu?
Qiu Xinggong!
Li Yuanjing held his forehead and felt a splitting headache.
Since the violent death of Qiu Shenji, Qiu Xinggong has become more and more unscrupulous and resentful. His Majesty Li Er ordered him to shut himself up and think about his mistakes. However, he is still an old minister who has followed His Majesty Li Er for many years in the north and south. He has made outstanding achievements and even saved the life of His Majesty Li Er. , so I felt the pain of losing my son, but I didn’t criticize him too much.
Although he was asked to shut up and reflect on his past mistakes, the title of Yiying was not relieved of his duties. All the ministers in the court knew that with His Majesty Li Er's character of nostalgia and love, Qiu Xinggong's return would be a matter of time.
Li Yuanjing was also secretly delighted that Qiu Xinggong first betrayed Gao Shilian and was later betrayed by Changsun Wuji. Otherwise, how could he have networked with such an important military general?
However, at this juncture when Fang Jun had just been promoted to Minister of War and was about to become Minister of Military Aircraft Department, Qiu Xinggong came to Prince Jing's Mansion in spite of the emperor's punishment to think about his mistakes behind closed doors... His intention was already obvious.
