Li Ji took a sip of wine, took a bite of food, pointed at Fang Jun, and said slowly: "Don't listen to this killer's nonsense. Those people in Guanlong are on the verge of collapse. The arrogance and tyranny in their bones will not allow them to act like turtles. Under such circumstances, they must stir up trouble and show their toughness, lest the fence-sitters at both ends of the court think that they have no choice and leave one after another. The last assassination in Furong Garden almost cost you your life , although all the murderers committed suicide by taking poison afterwards, and there was no evidence to prove it, those people in Guanlong can't escape their involvement. If they dare to use military crossbows under His Majesty's nose, they will definitely dare to take risks again, so you must remember To ensure your own safety, you must not give the enemy the slightest opportunity to take advantage of you."
Publicly and privately, he doesn't want Fang Jun to have any accidents. This is definitely not the time to show off his fearless style. Even if he is ridiculed by people all over the world as "courageless" and "cowardly", he must come first. Keep yourself safe.
Fang Jun quickly nodded and accepted the instruction.
His thoughts were the same as Li Ji's. There was no point in taking things to save face. Only his life was the most important.
He was not willing to risk his own life to challenge Changsun Wuji's bottom line...
The waiter came forward to pour wine, and everyone present drank from the glass together. Fang Jun put down the glass and said: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness the King of Jin presented a memorial to His Majesty, saying that he wanted to ask His Majesty to forgive him and allow him to leave the palace to attend His Majesty Hengshan's visit. Your Majesty did not allow the wedding. However, His Majesty is very fond of His Highness King Jin. Perhaps it won’t be long before the confinement order will be abolished and His Highness King Jin will be able to regain his freedom."
This news shocked everyone severely.
Logically speaking, this matter is not confidential. After all, His Royal Highness the King of Jin cannot enter the palace to see His Majesty on his own. Submission of memorials must go through the procedures of the Political Affairs Hall and the Shangshu Province, and must be reviewed and reviewed several times before finally being submitted to His Majesty's desk. This can be done in the room. Before Jun said this, no one here had heard anything about it.
Of course, except for Li Ji, who is the minister Zuopushe...
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and drove the waiter out. He pointed at the wine pot to Fang Jun and said, "Erlang pours the wine."
Fang Jun happily obeyed his order, holding a wine flask and pouring wine for all the big guys present here. These are all powerful men in the imperial military. He was not even born when he followed His Majesty Li Er in the north and south to conquer such a beautiful country. Well, I have the honor to serve you all today, without any embarrassment or grievance.
Cheng Yaojin lost his previous carefree look, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty knew that His Highness the King of Jin was getting close to Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji deliberately tried to target His Highness the King of Wei after he tried to seize the throne but failed. It's Prince Jin...what do you think, Your Majesty?"
On one side, the nobles of Guanlong were suppressed, and on the other side, the King of Jin who was close to Guanlong was released. Is it possible that His Majesty has another desire for Yi Chu?
The situation that was already gradually becoming clearer has become confusing again because of His Majesty Li Er's move...
Li Ji looked calm, took a bite of food, and asked casually: "After the banquet, do you have anything else to do?"
Li Daliang said: "I have pretty much handed over all my responsibilities recently. I will take up my post after His Majesty's triumphant return from the Eastern Expedition. Even my old bones can't move anymore. If I don't retreat, young people like Fang Erlang will have to take me." Wait until these old people who are occupying the latrine and do nothing to shit are cut into pieces."
Zhang Shigui was depressed. He put his chopsticks down on the table with a "pop" sound and said dissatisfied: "Can one or two of them be a little educated? There is no end to the poop and urine. Are you going to let people eat?"
Li Ji said with a smile: "What kind of education do you expect from these talented assassins? Let's go to Pingkangfang to find a brothel in the evening, and book a place to play mahjong, chat, and drink tea. We haven't eaten enough now, so we'll do it later. It’s not too late to eat.”
Then he pointed at Fang Jun and said, "Erlang is going too."
Fang Jun nodded, understanding that this was almost a gathering of the largest forces among the military factions, except for the Guanlong nobles.
The purpose of the gathering is also very clear. Everyone has been suppressed by the Guanlong nobles for many years, and now they finally see the opportunity to move to this mountain. How can they bring the Guanlong nobles back to life? It is naturally in the common interest of everyone to unite to impose sanctions.
Among them, the one who actually gained the most was Prince Li Chengqian.
If Guan Long wants to come back to life, the only possibility is to find a prince and achieve his goal of revival through Yi Chu. Once Yi Chu is born, the most unlucky person will naturally be Li Chengqian...
Of course, as a prince, Li Chengqian must not attend such a gathering of high-level military officials. Otherwise, His Majesty Li Er would easily suspect that he was trying to win over the military in an attempt to control the army.
This is an extremely sensitive area for the emperor. Even father and son have touched the emperor's final bottom line...
Fang Jun can only serve as the prince's spokesperson, and give everyone a concrete promise instead of the prince's straightforward promise.
Cheng Yaojin let out a laugh and teased: "The British Lord is kind-hearted, but I'm just afraid that some people don't dare to wander around Chang'an City in the middle of the night. Those dead soldiers and assassins may be hiding somewhere, maybe they will." If you are swarmed, if you are not prepared, all your fame and wealth will be wasted, and your beloved wife and concubine will be taken into the house by others. Isn't it unfair?"
Fang Jun was speechless. Why was this old guy so hard on him today? Isn't it just to expose that you don't wash your hands after using the toilet? You are really stingy...
Liu Hongji said with a smile: "Gong Lu is overly worried. I have seen Fang Erlang's group of soldiers. They are all arrogant and fierce soldiers. They have all been beaten in mountains of corpses and seas of blood. How can they be captured by ordinary assassins and dead soldiers?" ? Not to mention equipped with a musket newly manufactured by the Foundry Bureau. This kid is obviously afraid of death the most, so he needs all the men and horses. Unless those people in Guanlong are looking for death, they will definitely not attack at this time. Dog bites hedgehog , there is no way to start talking about it!”
Everyone laughed. Just thinking about Fang Jun having to carry a team of soldiers armed to the teeth when he came in and out, they found the scene very funny.
Fang Er, who is unscrupulous and domineering, is not weak at all when he is cowardly.
Fang Jun said depressedly: "What Duke Kui said is that if you sail a ten-thousand-year boat with caution, why do you become a hedgehog?"
Everyone laughed louder and louder. Liu Hongji and Li Daliang were not familiar with Fang Jun before. Only now did they realize that the external rumors were indeed wrong. The reason why this boy was domineering and arrogant was just for outsiders. Once recognized by him, if they are in the same camp, Respecting the elderly does not require others to do the same.
Li Ji said: "Okay, let's eat quickly, drink less wine, and have a good time together in the evening."
Fang Jun quickly picked up the jug and filled the wine glasses in front of everyone, then threw away the jug and started eating and drinking.
Cheng Yaojin reprimanded: "Children have to hold a pot and pour wine for their elders. This is the rule. You kid is the best for cheating and sneaking."
Fang Jun chewed the vegetables and retorted: "It's the British father who told everyone to stop drinking. Why are you so angry at me? How can you argue with the British father? How can you bully a junior?"
Cheng Yaojin choked heavily and looked unhappy.
How dare he argue with Li Ji? Although Li Ji was younger than him, he had always been a "strategist" since the time he conquered Wagang Mountain. He was savvy and wise in making suggestions. Cheng Yaojin was dissatisfied seven times and eight others were dissatisfied, but he wholeheartedly respected Li Ji.
To be precise, it should be a mixture of respect and fear.
Despite the fact that Li Jiping remained silent, seemed like he would never get angry, and had a very low sense of presence, he was full of bad intentions, and when it came to serious intrigues, he was not as good as Changsun Wuji...
Fortunately, there were footsteps outside the door at this time, and Wei Shuyu, radiant in auspicious clothes, walked in first, followed by a group of elders of the Wei family and the best man.
Wei Shuyu first clasped his fists in greeting and said with a happy face, "Thank you uncles for coming. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you. Erlang is also here."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly discovered that there was Fang Jun among the big guys, and he couldn't help but hesitate. Although this person had a prominent position, he was definitely not an elder.
But I couldn't change my words at this moment, so I had to say: "You all took the time from your busy schedule to come and congratulate me. My nephew is very grateful. I would like to offer you three glasses of water and wine here to express my sincere words. I would also like to thank you for coming on behalf of His Highness Hengshan. Now This love is as high as the mountains and as far as the rivers."
Behind him, the groomsmen came forward and poured wine one by one.
During the dinner, Li Ji was honored. He raised the wine glass, his eyes turned red, and sighed with emotion: "My brother Xuancheng's soul is in heaven. If I can see the great man now a perfect match, he will definitely be happy. Xuancheng and I My brother has fought side by side for many years, and we are brothers and sisters. Naturally, we regard Dalang as his nephew. I hope that Dalang will devote himself to the king's affairs and make contributions to his career. He will never stop honoring his reputation, never insult his ambition as a man, and never forget the beginning!"
