not necessarily? Changsun Wuji was so angry that his blood flowed backwards, and he cursed: "That guy seems to be reckless and aggressive, but in fact he is most careful and cunning. Otherwise, why do you think I have suffered so many losses at his hands these years?" Your conscious and unintentional words, if he is alerted and takes action, it is very likely to put my eldest grandson's family into a situation that is beyond redemption! "
Wang Zhixuan was finally frightened and said in a panic: "This...can't be right? My great-nephew just blurted out for a moment. Did he tell me about Saburo's trip to Damascus... Oops."
Before he could finish his words, Changsun Wuji slapped him in the face. He was so angry that his hair and hair were all bald, and he cursed with his halberd fingers: "How dare you talk nonsense! How can you talk about such things? Even if you die, you have to Let me rot in my stomach!"
"Yes, yes, my uncle taught me that my grandnephew will never dare to do it again."
Wang Zhixuan covered his face with one hand and his head with the other. He was so aggrieved that he burst into tears, but he did not dare to quibble any more.
He thought to himself that if we didn't regard him as a member of the eldest son's family, and we would all suffer from the same enemy, how could we have such great hatred towards Fang Jun? If he didn't have such great hatred, how could he impulsively say those threatening words?
Besides, I just said that. Could it be that Fang Jun is a roundworm in my stomach, so he can guess all the plots of the Changsun family behind the scenes?
Then he will be like Zhuge's resurrection or Sima's reincarnation...
*****
On the other side, Fang Jun watched the carriage that Changsun Wuji was riding in hurriedly away, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and his heart jumped for no reason.
The man just now was able to wait in the gatehouse inside Chengtianmen as a follower when Changsun Wuji went to court. He was obviously a close confidant of Changsun Wuji. When these people saw him provoking Changsun Wuji, they protected the Lord. Don't make any verbal threats when you are eager, even if you seriously challenge yourself to a life and death battle, it would not be surprising.
In this era, "the master humiliates his ministers to death". As a servant, it often happens that he will be bloodied for the sake of the face of the family master.
But no matter how Fang Jun looked at it, the man's threatening words didn't seem like casual remarks...
But why can he think that my death is imminent?
At this moment, Fang Jun's mind was spinning wildly, thinking carefully about where he had any flaws that could endanger his family and life. However, after much deliberation, he couldn't figure it out.
His Majesty Li Er has great trust in him. Even if he inadvertently makes a big mistake, as long as it is not a mortal sin such as conspiracy to usurp the throne, it will never make His Majesty Li Er have murderous intentions. And now when he comes in and out, he is protected by dozens or even ten soldiers. Unless his opponent mobilizes troops to surround him, who can kill him?
There is no internal crisis.
So this "death is imminent" method comes from the outside.
However, due to his high achievements in the past two years, he has already aroused the envy, jealousy, and even a certain degree of rejection by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Therefore, he can only sit on the sidelines and watch in national battles such as the Eastern Expedition, and cannot participate in them to gain merit. He could only stay in Chang'an to assist the prince in supervising the country.
Without leaving Chang'an, how could anyone allow him to "end his life"?
…
"Erlang, why are you standing here?"
Behind him, Li Ji and Ma Zhou surrounded Li Chengqian as he walked out of Chengtian Gate. When he saw Fang Jun standing in front of the door with his hands behind his hands, eyebrows furrowed in deep thought, he couldn't help but be surprised, so he stopped to ask.
Fang Jun came back to his senses, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I just met Zhao Guogong. The old man was too angry, so I advised him to cultivate his moral character to live longer, but the old man didn't appreciate it at all."
Several people were speechless.
Who doesn't know that Changsun Wuji now wants to bite Fang Jun into pieces and swallow him in order to relieve the hatred in his heart? You are not trying to persuade people to cultivate their moral character and prolong their lives. You are clearly just trying to make them angry to death because they want to live longer.
That is to say, Changsun Wuji, who is deep in the city, has a bad temper and will fight you at any time...
Li Chengqian said helplessly: "After all, Duke Zhao is the pillar of the country and a meritorious veteran. Whether it is his past achievements or the face of his mother, even his father is very kind and tolerant to him. As juniors, no matter where we stand, You have to give him enough respect no matter what. If he provokes you, that's it. You can fight back however you want, but he's just walking, so why be so aggressive?"
Fang Jun said with a smile: "It is not a minor minister who has to go to Duke Zhao to find trouble. It is really a coincidence at that time, and the road between enemies is narrow. It is inappropriate not to quarrel with each other."
"..."
Li Chengqian was speechless.
Li Ji glared at Fang Jun from the side and said in a deep voice: "You can be regarded as an important minister of the imperial court now, so you must have a stable appearance. How can you behave like a fool all day long as before? The prince is You are a steady king with a kind personality. It would be extremely inappropriate for the outside world to slander you because of your swaggering temperament."
The first half of the sentence is completely nonsense, and besides, he also knows Fang Jun's intention, and the second half of the sentence is the original intention.
Nowadays, the prince has always shown himself to be gentle and kind, but Fang Jun can now be regarded as the representative figure of the East Palace. Every word and deed represents the will of the prince. If he is still so aggressive and difficult to deal with, he will inevitably give others the impression of "Prince". So is the impression.
This is very detrimental to the prince's ability to stabilize his position as heir apparent.
You know, the greatest advantage of the prince now is to show his "benevolence". Who doesn't like to think that the emperor is in power, both in the civil and military circles and in the public? But if the prince's image of "reigning to be king" is damaged because of Fang Jun's consistent strength, then the gains outweigh the losses.
Fang Jun naturally understood what Li Ji meant, nodded and said: "My nephew has learned a lesson, he will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
On the contrary, Li Chengqian was afraid that Fang Jun would be wronged, so he comforted him: "You don't have to be like this, a lonely person. It's good for outsiders to recognize him, but what can he do if he doesn't recognize him? Erlang has a middle-aged man's temperament and is upright. We disdain things like being upright and pretentious."
Fang Jun glanced at Li Chengqian and nodded silently.
Say I'm not impressed.
In fact, this is Li Chengqian's true temperament. As the eldest son of His Majesty Li Er, not only did he not inherit much of His Majesty Li Er's decisiveness and ruthlessness, but he was more like a child of a well-educated family who lived a good life and was well-educated. Being taught by the great Confucian scholar of the time, Haosheng, his mind was full of "benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust", and he was a proper gentleman.
Suppose that if he and His Majesty Li Er were to change, and they also suffered a "Xuanwumen Incident", the choices of the father and son would be completely opposite...
Later, Li Chengqian's various "death-seeking" behaviors recorded in history books were either deliberately framed by later generations through generalizations, or they were his near collapse of vent under heavy pressure.
After all, a man who was canonized as a prince at the age of eight and was praised and loved by people all over the world suddenly faced the competition between his brothers for the throne. His father was extremely partial, and his mother who was the most protective of him was suffering from illness. Death, the gap is enough to make anyone collapse.
At the end of the day, I would rather rebel and accuse His Majesty Li Er: You single-handedly forced me to this point. If I die, will you regret it?
As a result, no one knew that His Majesty Li Er did not regret it, but Li Zhi benefited from it. Then while swearing to His Majesty Li Er that he would "treat his brothers and sisters well", after His Majesty Li Er's death, the brothers took over one after another. A tragic death...
True benevolence and falsehood are shrouded in the fog of history. Who can tell the truth?
However, Li Chengqian has a more straightforward personality, which is an undoubted fact.
Li Chengqian saw that Fang Jun was silent and even a little distracted, thinking that he had an opinion on Li Ji's words, so he wanted to change things a bit and suggested: "If you have nothing to do, why not go to the East Palace to sit down and play a few rounds of mahjong?" how?"
Li Ji also felt that what he just said was a bit harsh. Although Fang Jun was his junior and the relationship between the two families was very good, after all, this guy was now the Duke of the country and the Minister of the Ministry of War, and a proper high official in the court. Man, there is something wrong with the way I still sound like I am scolding a junior.
Then he nodded and said: "That's right! It's freezing cold today, and there's no official business in the government office. I can't muster any energy. Playing a few rounds of mahjong and having a hot pot meal in the evening will be a fairy-like day. ! Otherwise, when the Eastern Expedition begins, everyone will never have a peaceful night's sleep."
Ma Zhou was all right, and just said: "It's okay to play mahjong, but the stakes should be smaller. Don't lose all your small salary from the official position, otherwise the whole family will go hungry throughout the first month."
Li Chengqian then laughed: "King Ma Bin is upright and upright, and has a breeze in his sleeves. He is praised by the government and the public! No problem, I will lend you my gambling capital today. If you win, you will pay interest, and if you lose, you will be alone!"
Fang Jun rubbed his palms and said excitedly: "It is said that King Qiuci paid tribute to a group of dancing girls years ago. Each one is good at singing and dancing. During the dinner, His Highness should ask them to sing and dance to open the eyes of the ministers."
