When Princess Changle saw Fang Jun's expression, she immediately asked in confusion: "I just said that you didn't mean to interfere with Si Zi's marriage, and now you look like this again. What do you want to do?"
Fang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "How could I have such thoughts? I just feel that Wei Zhengju is not suitable for His Highness Jinyang. He is not a good match."
Historically, although Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi later overturned his previous determination and allowed Wei Zhengju to be buried together with Princess Xincheng, this did not necessarily mean there was no political compromise.
Li Zhi was by no means an impulsive and reckless person. He could even be said to be extremely calm and thoughtful. He was able to determine that the death of Princess Xincheng was related to Wei Zhengju. He sentenced her to death and exiled her relatives. How could he rely solely on conjecture without any evidence? ? Later overturning the previous determination may not be pure.
You need to know that at that time, Gaozong Li Zhi had completely overthrown the Changsun family. The Guanlong nobles who had been entrenched in Guanzhong for hundreds of years fell apart. There was a brief vacuum period in the power class in the court. Shandong aristocratic families and Jiangnan gentry took the opportunity to rise and seize power. The court was getting out of control.
Li Zhi was eager to rely on the help of the Wei and Du families in Jingzhao, and the Pei, Xue, Liu and other families in Hedong to control the government and control the government. As an emperor, he cannot act based on his own likes and dislikes, so it is absolutely impossible to "rehabilitate" Wei Zhengju.
In short, Wei Zhengju is inextricably linked to the death of Princess Xincheng.
How could Fang Jun let such a person marry Princess Jinyang? In his heart, rather than saying that Princess Jinyang is a sister-in-law, it is more appropriate to call her a daughter-in-law. That is something that he is not willing to let her suffer at all...
Princess Changle frowned and looked at Fang Jun suspiciously, trying to tell whether his words were true or not. Was Wei Zhengju really not a good match, or he simply didn't want Si Zi to get married...
But seeing Fang Jun's solemn face, he knew that he was overthinking.
This man is indeed not an upright gentleman, but he is also definitely not a villain who says what he says and means what he says. Since he said that Wei Zhengju is not a good match, he must have a legitimate and sufficient reason.
"But this marriage was mentioned by Sister Dongyang. In the palace, Concubine Yang, Concubine Yan, and Concubine Wei all nodded in agreement and waited for the written statement to be known to the father. It stands to reason that the Jingzhao Wei family is a famous family with a profound background. , and I have never gotten involved with the Guanlong nobles, so once I get the consent from all the concubines, my father is usually not willing to refuse."
Princess Changle was a little worried.
Fang Jun naturally knew that what she said was the truth.
The saying "Weidu in the south of the city, go to Tianchiwu" has been circulated since the Han Dynasty, and it is still mentioned by people today.
During the Han Dynasty, Wei Xian, a native of Zou County, Lu State, was known as the "Zou Lu Great Confucian". He was not only proficient in "Li" and "Shang Shu", but also passed down "Lu Poetry", giving birth to Wei's "Lu Poetry" school, which laid the foundation for the family. Confucian classics tradition. Wei Xian was later recruited as a doctor and a minister, and served as the tutor of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. He also served as Guanglu doctor, Zhanshi, and Dahonglu.
After the death of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Wei Xian, Huo Guang and others jointly honored Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to succeed him to the throne. They were given the title of Marquis of Guannei and appointed as the Shaofu of Changxin. In the third year of this period, Wei Xian was promoted to prime minister and granted the title of Marquis of Fuyang. Pour for a while.
Wei Xian had four sons. Except for the third son Wei Shun, who stayed in the Zou Lu Shou family tomb, the other sons moved to Pingling in Chang'an. The fourth son Wei Xuancheng later inherited the title of Marquis of Fuyang and served successively as Taichang, Shaofu, Prince Taifu, and The imperial censor was appointed prime minister in the second year of Yongguang's reign and moved to Duling, Chang'an.
Wei Xuancheng's nephew, Wei Shang, was promoted to the rank of Grand Sima Cavalry General during the reign of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty and was granted the title of Marquis of Guan Neihou. There were more than ten people in the clan who served as officials of the first level of 2,000 shi.
Jingzhao Wei's father and son were prime ministers in the Western Han Dynasty. They were granted the title of marquis for four generations and became a famous wealthy family in the pass.
Since the Han and Wei dynasties, the Guanlong area has been the source of Han traditional culture. Especially since the chaos in the late Jin Dynasty, many literati and lofty ideals have taken refuge here. The Hu people from the north have occupied the Central Plains, and their number is also small. In order to maintain their long-term rule, Whether militarily or politically, they relied on the Han people who constituted the majority of the population. They must first and foremost identify with the landlord class in the Guanlong area culturally, and must establish a solid political and military alliance with them.
This is the development trajectory of Guanlong Group.
It was under this historical background that the so-called four surnames in Guanzhong emerged - Jingzhao Wei's, Hedong's Xue's, Hedong's Pei's, and Hedong's Liu's. This was the main gentry leader in the Guanzhong area from the Han, Wei, and even the Sui and Tang dynasties. He had great reputation and roots in the Guanzhong area.
His Majesty Li Er suppressed the Guanlong nobles, but he also guarded against Shandong aristocratic families and Jiangnan gentry. Under such circumstances, supporting the "Four Surnames in Guanzhong" became a political necessity.
By marrying Jingzhao Weishi, he can get the support of the entire Guanzhong gentry.
Moreover, Fang Jun knew that in history, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi also supported the "Four Surnames of Guanzhong" under such circumstances, making Jingzhao Weishi become part of the "Li Wuweiyang" group. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, Jingzhao Weishi had reached the peak of family prosperity. At the peak, there were nearly twenty people from official to prime minister levels!
Under such a situation, how could His Majesty Li Er not agree to Princess Jinyang's marriage to Wei Zhengju?
Fang Jun had a headache and drank the warm rice wine in his glass in one gulp.
Princess Changle naturally understood Fang Jun's temperament and warned: "Of course I know that you dote on Si Zi, but she still has to get married after all. It's not Wei Zhengju today, and there will be others tomorrow. You can't look down on everyone." , so you are messing with Huang, right? My father will make the decision on this matter. You must not interfere, let alone cause trouble for Wei Zhengju, otherwise my father will never spare you."
This Bangchui dotes on Si Zi. If he really despises Wei Zhengju, he might be able to go and beat Wei Zhengju severely, and then warn the Wei family to quickly give up Princess Shang's idea...
Fang Jun was speechless: "Is Wei Chen such an unreasonable and reckless person?"
Princess Changle raised her eyebrows lightly: "Aren't you?"
To this day, there are still rumors circulating inside and outside Guanzhong that this man was going to assassinate Qiu Shenji, who was going to propose marriage to his father, in order to "occupy" her...
Fang Jun was very angry and glared: "If I really are that kind of person, how can I sit down and drink with His Highness so honestly and politely at this moment, but restrain my hands and pretend to be serious in front of the person I like? I'm afraid I have lost my patience a long time ago. Come on, cook the uncooked rice into cooked rice!"
"Pooh!"
Princess Changle's cheeks were dizzy and she was so embarrassed that she spat: "What nonsense are you talking about? We are talking about Sizi's marriage, don't involve me!"
This man is becoming more and more lawless, and I don’t know how long my own reserve can last under his attack...
After saying a few more words, Fang Jun drank the rice wine in the pot, ate a bowl of rice, and put down his chopsticks.
Princess Changle had a small appetite and was eating with Fang Jun. When she saw him finishing his meal, she put down her chopsticks and called the maid in to clean up. Then she boiled a pot of water and made a pot of tea. She sat in front of the window and listened to the wind and rain. The sound is very pleasant.
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and said: "This Wei Zhengju has a good reputation, but the ministers rarely interact with him, and he has never met him. I have nothing to do these days. I want to find someone to find out the details of this guy and get together. If there is anything inappropriate in some of the information, please inform His Highness. Princess Jinyang is His Highness’ biological sister, you can’t watch her fall into a pit of fire, can you?”
Princess Changle was holding a tea cup, sitting casually but with her back straight and very dignified. She frowned and said, "You have already preconceived the idea that Wei Zhengju is not a good person. How can you treat him fairly and justly?"
She was worried that Fang Jun would mess up.
With Fang Jun's current status and power, despite Jingzhao Wei's deep connections and extensive roots, if he really wanted to mess with Wei Zhengju, the other party would have no power to fight back.
The emperor's father is on an expedition in Liaodong, and there is almost no one in Chang'an who can restrain Fang Jun. If this guy starts to act up, no one can stop him. Wei Zhengju is afraid that he will be in trouble...
Fang Jun made a sound and said dissatisfied: "Your Highness can't always regard Wei Chen as such a wanton and reckless playboy. After all, we are also a generation of famous ministers with excellent poetry and unparalleled achievements. For example, Wei Chen admires His Highness in his heart and wishes he could We work together with Fei, but we are always able to observe etiquette, and there is never any rudeness. We just wait infatuatedly for His Highness to show mercy..."
Princess Changle was so embarrassed that she secretly thought that this guy started talking nonsense again, her eyes were a little wandering, her face was red, and she said softly: "It's getting late, Duke Yue should leave as soon as possible, otherwise the city gates will be closed later. "
Fang Jun admired the beauty's beauty from a close distance, and his heart was about to move. He swallowed and said, "Your Highness, does he really leave no one behind?"
His eyes were hot and aggressive.
Has Princess Changle ever encountered such a scene?
Suppressing the shyness in his heart, he slowly shook his head and said in a voice like a gnat: "I can't do it today..."
Not today?
Fang Jun felt a rush of blood rush to his head and grabbed Princess Changle's delicate hand...
