The aroma of tea filled the small shop. Li Junxian carefully poured tea for His Majesty Li Er, and then stepped aside without looking at Fang Jun.
I have done my best to be kind and righteous. As for you, since you dare to come here to have a tryst with Princess Changle, and you happen to be caught by His Majesty, whether you live or die depends on your own luck. It’s not that we don’t want to help, we really have to do this. The above is the greatest ability, and the rest is helpless...
How did Fang Jun know that Li Junxian had risked his life to remonstrate with him and eliminated the biggest crisis for him? At this moment, I saw Li Junxian was silent and didn't even look at me, but my heart was filled with hatred. After all, let's talk to each other. Even if you don't speak for me, you can at least give me a hint with your eyes. You look like you're not involved. What's going on with his expression?
No loyalty...
Feeling uneasy, I secretly glanced at His Majesty Li Er. The emperor's face was expressionless, which made people even more uneasy.
His Majesty Li Er picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea. The tea was filled with water vapor, and the rain was pattering outside the window. There were people rushing on the street even though it was raining. They were running around for a living, and there were all kinds of food and drinks. The fragrance is a moving picture of various aspects of life.
After drinking three cups of tea, His Majesty Li Er suddenly said: "You were sure early in the morning that the eldest son's family would hide eldest son Huan and send him to Zongzheng Temple to surrender?"
Fang Jun hurriedly asked: "Did Changsun Huan go to Zongzheng Temple to surrender? Wei Chen doesn't know."
"Hey! Why, do you think you have a plan? You set up a plan, but you don't even see the results. In this case, wouldn't it mean that I, the emperor, can't be more calm than you?"
His Majesty Li Er looked at him and sneered.
Fang Jun felt sweat on his head and explained: "How dare I make such a conclusion? It's just that although the Guanlong nobles still seem to be as united as before, in fact they already have their own agendas and different aspirations. However, because of each other's The interests between them are too involved, so they have to compromise and show solidarity to outsiders. Among the Guanlong disciples who clashed yesterday, not all of them were peripheral disciples of each family, there were also a few core disciples, such as Changsun Huan .The reason why each family sent the offending children out of the city was because they were sure that this was all planned by Wei Chen. Since they were unwilling to publicly intensify the conflict with the royal family, they followed Wei Chen's plan and sacrificed a few innocent people. The peripheral disciples who are on duty are the best solution, and the hatred for the ministers can also make each family closer. Of course, if the core disciples like Changsun Huan are sacrificed in vain, no one can We can't be resigned to it. As long as this matter is confirmed and someone is indeed dead, the goal has been achieved. It doesn't matter whether there is one more eldest grandson Huan or someone else. As the saying goes, everyone is selfish, and there must be one family that will take their own. The disciple hid himself and tried to send him to Zongzheng Temple to save his life. Your Majesty met Changsun Huan, that’s because Changsun Huan was the first to go to Zongzheng Temple. If he had taken one step at night, your Majesty might have met someone else."
In other words, because Changsun Huan died too early, those Guanlong disciples who had the same thoughts as him discovered this approach and thought of going together. If they surrendered together, the effect would be completely opposite to what they had expected. , so he didn’t show up.
His Majesty Li Er thought about it and felt that what Fang Jun said was reasonable. Who knew who was in the carriages that were passing through the Long family?
Maybe he went to the gate of Zongzheng Temple to see who had surrendered instead of leaving the city. Or maybe he was the person who originally planned to surrender, but changed his mind after meeting Changsun Huan...
His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, admiring Fang Jun's design.
Even if there are some Guanlong nobles who have the same calculation as the Changsun family and want to use this method to save the lives of their children, but since the Changsun family is taking the lead, everyone must feel uncomfortable. You are also Guan Long after all. Leader, how come you let our children go out of the city to die, while you hide yourself to save your life?
So shall we be scapegoats?
This kind of anger seems to be unreasonable. After all, everyone thinks so in their hearts. No one is nobler than anyone else. But some people do it, and some people just think about it but don't have time to do it. Then the situation is completely different.
"Everyone is selfish." This is quite true. You can do some things by yourself, and if you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. But if others do it, you must despise or even condemn it.
It is conceivable that after this incident, the Guanlong Group, which was already full of cracks, will become even more inseparable. Everyone is wary of each other, fearing that if they are not careful, they will become the scapegoat. Who can bear it while they work hard to survive while others enjoy the benefits?
Everyone has their own thoughts and are on guard against each other, so it is naturally difficult to cooperate sincerely.
The reason why the Guanlong Group has been able to dominate the world and control the government since the Northern Wei Dynasty, apart from its own tyrannical strength, is precisely because of the cooperation between them. It has been able to dominate the court and dominate the world from beginning to end, and single-handedly created the Zhou Dynasty Sui and Tang Dynasties.
If we had been so estranged and suspicious of each other before, we would have been destroyed countless times a long time ago...
Fang Jun's plan hit the critical point of the Guanlong nobles accurately. Even if everyone knew what was going on, today, when the strength of each family is gradually weakening, they have to think about what would happen if this huge On the day when the group falls apart, where will your family go?
His Majesty Li Er firmly believes that perhaps just one opportunity is needed to make this extremely powerful force lingering in the Tang Dynasty disappear.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe not long after.
His Majesty Li Er picked up the teapot and wanted to pour water, but found that the teapot was empty. He glared at Fang Jun and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze? Boil water to make tea! It's something you can't see!"
Fang Junru feng lunyin hurriedly ran up to boil water. He was not afraid of His Majesty Li Er's stinking face. As long as he could still instruct him to work, it would prove that he didn't want to kill him yet. degree……
Seeing Fang Jun's relieved and cheerful figure, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but snorted heavily.
I wanted to reprimand a few words, but Fang Jun's words just now suddenly came to my mind, "Everyone is selfish." There are some things you can do with peace of mind, but if others do it, you must be whipped, scolded and despised from a moral level. The crusade...
Mother!
Could this bastard have something to say? He was implying that not only did he have three palaces and six courtyards, but he also brought his sister-in-law and younger siblings into the palace. He even did not let go of Empress Xiao who was snatched back from the Turks... He had misbehaved. You can't sit upright, but you're here to condemn him for having a tryst with Changle, right?
Unable to help frowning, His Majesty Li Er stared at Fang Jun suspiciously.
Others might not have the courage, but this bastard has always been very bold. Although he is very respectful to himself and always puts his own interests and the interests of the empire above all else, he is definitely not as bold as other ministers. Full of fear of myself.
Is it a case-by-case explanation of the current mentality of the Guanlong nobles, or is it a serious insinuation and insinuation?
This guy looks like a tough guy, but in fact he definitely has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. It is quite possible for him to say such ambiguous words...
Fang Jun poured the mountain spring water into the kettle, took two pieces of charcoal and put it into the small red clay stove. He fiddled with it a few times to make the air flow up and down in the stove. The red flame quickly jumped up, and he was suddenly aware of it. Something was wrong. When he raised his head, he saw His Majesty Li Er staring at him with eyes filled with confusion and annoyance.
My heart tightened, and an extremely innocent smile instantly appeared on my face. He looked sunny and calm, just like the good boy next door with good academic performance and upright heart. The kind that makes people want to marry their daughter...
He asked respectfully: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
His Majesty Li Er's eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't tell anything from Fang Jun's honest black face. Of course, he couldn't ask the doubts in his heart. If he asked this kid, he wouldn't admit it. On the contrary, it seemed that he, the emperor, was too jealous and suspicious. He must stay away from the lowest qualities of an emperor.
He snorted and said: "Although each person only broke one leg, this matter will inevitably be impeached by the ministers. National laws cannot be blasphemed, and the inside story cannot be revealed in public, so this time I have to protect you." , I really can’t protect it.”
This is of course the right thing to do. As an emperor, how can you ignore the law?
Fang Jun straightened his back, his face full of awe and righteousness without hesitation, and said in a sonorous tone: "Your Majesty, there is no need to embarrass you. I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, so what does a mere punishment mean? Fame and wealth are as serious as floating clouds to me. I don’t care at all. As long as I can relieve His Majesty’s worries, even if I am demoted to the common people and lose all my official titles, I will never complain!”
Although his original intention in planning this matter was not just for His Majesty Li Er, but more because he did not want to see the government corrupt and the world unstable, and such a good situation return to before liberation, in the end, it was His Majesty Li Er who benefited. At most, Fang Jun was absolutely not embarrassed at all by giving a generous speech in front of him to express his merits and loyalty.
What happened to the loyal minister?
Loyal ministers also need to speak out and let everyone know, instead of just doing things in silence.
Children who cry are fed by milk. This is true throughout the ages...
His Majesty Li Er clicked his tongue and thought depressedly: Could it be that I have to privately reward this bastard who harmed his daughter?
It is not his style to not reward meritorious service. The merits balance out the faults. It is obvious that this boy's merits outweigh his faults.
It’s so frustrating...
