Princess Gaoyang was born in an imperial family. She has always seen intrigues and power struggles, and she has seen and heard of insidious and dirty methods. Although Xiao Shuer seems calm and peaceful, she is actually like the Xiao family of Lanling. She is a woman from a wealthy family, and she has been alone since she was a child. She is also a rich young lady who has experienced the world and is by no means ignorant of the world. When she heard Wu Meiniang's words, she immediately realized the dangerous situation she was in, and her two pairs of beautiful eyes instantly looked towards her. Fang Jun's concern and nervousness were palpable.
Fang Jun chewed the fish meat in his mouth, took a sip of rice wine, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, what Mei Niang said is just a reminder to my husband. The saying that it is easy to hide from an open gun and hard to guard against a hidden arrow, that means that you are completely unprepared." Now, the situation is dangerous. As a father, I am naturally cautious in everything. I have my own troops to protect me when I go out. In an emergency, I can mobilize soldiers from the Youtun Guard to strengthen the defense. These are fierce people who have followed me through life and death, and they are all equipped with firearms. , even if Changsun Wuji can mobilize a few guards to attack hard, it will be enough to escape intact, and Quan Quan will feel at ease."
The wives and concubines naturally knew about the strength of their own soldiers and the Youtun Guards. They were a little relieved after hearing this. Princess Gaoyang snorted and said dissatisfied: "As the emperor, how can I just watch you, Sir, in danger? Speaking of which, the whole thing has nothing to do with Lang Jun at all, my father should take care of this man."
Wu Meiniang kept silent. Such words could only be said by Princess Gao Yang, and it had to be done when there were no outsiders at home, otherwise it would be considered disrespectful if it spread.
Fang Jun had a full meal, sat back on his chair and slowly drank rice wine, and said with a smile: "The emperor can't do whatever he wants, he also has ties and worries, otherwise why would he bother to do this for his husband?" Are the Guanlong nobles going crazy? But don't worry, Your Highness, even though Your Majesty can't openly stand on your husband's side, you will still protect your husband secretly. So this time may seem like a stormy sea, but your husband is as stable as a rock. "
Seeing that he was so confident, Xiao Shuer, who had much lower political literacy, felt relieved.
When she thought about it, since the emperor was behind her, who in the world could harm her husband?
Princess Gao Yang sighed: "It's just that this battle in the court is bound to be fierce. Since my father cannot openly support you, the Guanlong nobles will definitely attack in groups. It is inevitable that they will be dismissed from their positions."
Nowadays, she is considered one of the most prominent among the many princesses. Not only is Fang Xuanling the minister of His Majesty Li Er, but even though she has retired from official service, she still remains a holy family member. Moreover, because her husband Fang Jun has been in a high position all the way. , although the title is not obvious, and is lower than the titles of princes and county princes often held by consorts, the official positions of Prince Shaobao and Minister of War are unique among the consorts. They have great power, and they have some Lumi titles. Don't be too strong. I don't know how many princesses are secretly envious and jealous.
Women are always prone to vanity. Even though Princess Gaoyang is now extremely happy with the marriage and her relationship with Fang Jun is very close, her desire to compare has not dissipated.
I couldn't help but feel disappointed when I thought that if Fang Jun was dismissed from office again, the faces of those princesses who were usually extremely envious would be gloating about his misfortune...
This time, before Fang Jun could say anything to comfort him, Wu Meiniang had already chuckled and said softly: "Your Highness, you still think that our husband is like that a few years ago, fighting alone whenever he encounters impeachment and criticism, without anyone to help him or her? You?" You can rest assured, not to mention that the British Duke, Ma Fuyin, and Jiangxia County Prince will help Lang Jun this time. Even the Jiangnan nobles will definitely stand behind Lang Jun. Is it possible for a mere Guanlong noble? Do you still think that this is the time when the country was founded, when you can control the government and do whatever you want?"
Princess Gaoyang was most interested in Wu Meiniang's intelligence and strategy, and she was immediately overjoyed. She did not realize that Fang Jun had already attracted all the Shandong aristocratic families and Jiangnan gentry, but simply thought that the Jiangnan gentry was attracted by Fang Jun's marriage to the Xiao family. Will become an ally, put his arms around Xiao Shuer's still slender waist even though she was pregnant, and said happily: "I didn't expect that you are not only a good-looking vixen, but you are also useful!"
Xiao Yu was the leader of the Qing Dynasty, and almost all the imperial censors and officials in the court came from his sect. If it was marching and fighting, Guanlong's people were naturally more powerful, but when they argued and argued in the court, how could they be the censor's advisers? opponent?
With Xiao Yu standing firmly on Fang Jun's side, and Liu Jie, who has a sharp mouth and a mean face, no one in the court can do anything to Fang Jun...
Xiao Shuer was hugged by her and rolled her eyes helplessly. Listen, what are you saying?
She knew in her heart that no daughter could ever decide the strategy of her parents' family after getting married. Marriage seemed to be equivalent to announcing to the world that the two families would advance and retreat together, but in fact it was the most unreliable alliance method.
For the benefit of the family, Changsun Wuji could even force his own son to death. What does she, Xiao Shuer, mean to the Lanling Xiao family?
Marriage can only give two families a bond for further cooperation, but the factor that determines whether to unite at a deeper level is still interests.
Fang Jun put down his wine glass and drank a little wine at noon. His blood was refreshed and he asked, "Where are the children?"
Princess Gaoyang said: "I have been living with my mother at Lishan Farm these days. My father has just sent someone to pick her up from Lishan. He will stay in the house for a while. Mr. Qimen will also come to the house every day to give him some advice." They take classes.”
Fang Jun nodded, feeling relieved.
Changsun Wuji was able to force his son to death in order to ease the split and collapse of the Guanlong Group. It can be seen that there is no bottom line in his actions. He only seeks to achieve his goals and does not use any means at all. No one can guarantee that his bottom line is "not as bad as his family". What should I do if I go crazy and kill Fang Shu and Fang You as revenge for Fang Jun?
However, it was obvious that Fang Xuanling knew Changsun Wuji better. Changsun Wuji forced Changsun Huan to death. Fang Xuanling quickly sent people to take the two grandsons home and protect them closely, and never gave them to Changsun Wuji. An opportunity to take advantage of.
He looked at Wu Meiniang and said: "The third brother, the fourth brother, and Xiuzhu should also be careful not to leave the house if nothing happens. Even if they go out, they should bring more people to protect them. They all listen to you, and you have to look after them. Some, my father and mother don’t have to worry about these things.”
"Here! If I can save myself, I will definitely settle them down."
Wu Meiniang nodded lightly.
Fang Jun was assured of Wu Meiniang's mental strategy and ability to do things. Now that he saw that his family was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with great enthusiasm: "As long as the family is safe, let the eldest grandson do whatever he wants." Let Wuji be arrogant for a while! No matter what he does now, my husband will accept it one by one. I just wait until His Majesty personally conquers Goguryeo and returns home, and settle the old and new accounts with him one by one!"

White banners were hung from the Changsun's house on the side of Chongrenfang. A sad cry was heard in the back house, and many servants were filing out of the back house, either on horseback or in cars, one after another. In the wind and rain, people went to the old homes of relatives and friends inside and outside the city to report their funerals.
Soon, people who lived nearby came to express their condolences.
The princes, princes, ministers and ministers in Chang'an City have also been very busy recently. There was a funeral in the Gaofu family just a few days ago, and the Sun family in the back was also attending a funeral. These were all the most powerful figures in the court, although they have now left the core of the central government one after another. Position, but still strong, who dares not to come to the house to express condolences and say a few words like "sorrow"?
Even though some people in the family had resentment against each other in the past, they could still express their regrets and sighs in a friendly manner when faced with such things.
Human nature is just that.
As more and more people came to express their condolences, cars and horses rattled in Chongren Square, and the entire street in front of the mansion was blocked with water in the slanting wind and drizzle.
The first to arrive were the Guanlong nobles.
Things have reached this point, Changsun Wuji even forced his own son to death, just to give an explanation to their allies. With such "kindness", who can remain indifferent and blindly talk about Changsun Wuji's mistakes? Even clamoring to part ways would mean offending Changsun Wuji to death.
Not to mention whether they can withstand Changsun Wuji's revenge at that time, there is no guarantee that no other Guanlong nobles will follow Changsun Wuji to fish in troubled waters and bully him. Even though there were some families who were better friends with his family in the past, who can guarantee that at such a moment of panic, they will spare no effort to help him and fight against the eldest grandson's family?
You have to hide your most dissatisfaction in your heart and show an intimate attitude to outsiders.
Otherwise, whoever dares to speak out at this time will most likely become a "traitor" within Guanlong and become a club to attack...
