Today happened to be a day off, and the young minister in the court also fell asleep and woke up naturally.
And some elderly people can't fall asleep even if they want to sleep a little longer.
Fang Xuanling was like this. After getting up early, he began to exercise. After finishing the exercise, he went to the living room and started having breakfast.
"Sir, it's bad, something big happened outside."
The housekeeper went to the street to buy newspapers. Although Fang Xuanling was the second-in-command in the court, he had a daily habit of reading Datang Daily. Articles and various new things in Datang Daily were still worth it. He went to pay attention.
When he saw the housekeeper rushing in with a newspaper in his hand, running out of breath, he frowned and said, "How can you be so flustered?"
Then he looked at the housekeeper and asked, "What's the big deal?"
In his opinion, it was nothing more than some messy civil affairs, because he was the second-in-command of the imperial court and had not received any important matters related to the country.
If the country has important matters, it must first pass through his servant before it can reach the emperor.
Even if it is a major matter related to the danger of the country and the country, the emperor will pass it on to him as soon as possible after receiving it.
"The people in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City are in a rage. They are cursing the court ministers, saying that the master and all the ministers are weaklings. They have been kneeling for so long that they don't even know that they are ministers of the Tang Dynasty?"
What?
Fang Xuanling was confused!
"He also said that the master and other ministers are not worthy of their position. They occupy the latrine and do not poop. What they poop out is stinking feces. They are simply indifferent!"
Damn it...
Fang Xuanling was angry, why is this happening? These rebellious officials and traitors just need to be dealt with.
To be so vulgar and say such unpleasant things.
These ministers worked hard every day for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world. They woke up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a dog. In the end, they were still cursed by these people?
Seeing Fang Xuanling's angry beard, the housekeeper trembled, and said quickly: "Master, everything is caused by this newspaper. Take a look..."
Fang Xuanling grabbed the newspaper and read it quickly.
The more he looked, the darker his face became, and the more he looked, the more uncomfortable he became. Finally, the newspaper in his hand fell to the ground, and he almost fainted.
"Wang Gui, you bastard..."
"How dare you humiliate yourself like this?"
Yesterday at the court, Honglu Temple personally presented Tubo's credentials. Songtsan Gampo, the Tibetan leader, submitted the credentials, saying that he was willing to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and expressed Tubo's sincerity and was willing to offer five cities in the southwest.

But the condition is that she wants to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty and become the queen. From then on, the two countries will be reconciled, start border trade, and develop together.
Tubo was willing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty and accept the canonization of the Tang Dynasty.
For the Tang Dynasty, this was a great gift from heaven. If he didn't agree, wouldn't he just be sending a princess to get married?
Since the Han Dynasty, marriage has been a diplomatic method. Wang Zhaojun's marriage has also become a good talk between Han and Xiong.
Even the previous dynasty also had marriages with Turks. Even small countries like Tuyuhun and Gaochang State sent their princesses to get married.
As a diplomatic method, it is the best policy to subjugate the enemy without fighting. How come in the hands of Wang Gui, he becomes weak and incompetent, exchanging women for peace?
It was Wei Zheng who proposed it yesterday, and then he thought it was a good thing, so he told Your Majesty that if the marriage can make Songtsen Gampo's palace in the Tang Dynasty a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it would be a great achievement.
Changsun Wuji and other important ministers also agreed to the marriage. After all, the Tang Dynasty would not suffer from this. Once Tubo became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, there would be too many benefits.
However, His Majesty did not agree. After all, anyone would feel distressed if their daughter married off to a snowy plateau and lived with a foreign barbarian.
But the royal family has no private affairs. Since she is a princess, she must sacrifice for the country.
He also suggested that if Your Majesty does not want to marry a princess, you can also consecrate other kings or royal guard princesses and marry them to the snowy plateau.
But His Majesty said that the matter would be discussed later when Lu Dongzan came to see him, and he withdrew from the court.
At that time, Wang Gui, the Minister of Rites, and Tang Jian, the minister of Honglu Temple, stood up and objected, saying that marrying a princess was not appropriate and they could discuss other options, but the princess must not marry to the plateau.
They didn't care at the time. If Tubo wanted something else, they wouldn't have proposed a marriage. Songtsen Gampo's intention was obvious, that is, he wanted to marry a Tang princess and get help from the Tang Dynasty.
I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect it.
This shameless villain, a wallflower, a bastard, did not dare to be tough in court, but secretly wrote articles in newspapers to incite the ignorant people to cause trouble.
In this newspaper, these important ministers were demoted as worthless. Instead, they became traitorous ministers, traitors, and weak and incompetent villains.
This cannot be tolerated, absolutely cannot be tolerated...
Fang Xuanling finally couldn't bear it any longer, and her body was shaking. She simply pointed at his nose and scolded him to pieces, and he was cursing him in front of the entire people of the Tang Dynasty.
He, Fang Xuanling, had worked diligently for the imperial court all his life, but he was not willing to be rejected by him.
His reputation, his face...
How can he still have reputation and face now? If the people don't chase him to his home and hack him to death, he will be considered lucky.
"Sir, it's bad, a large number of people have gathered outside the house, and I want you to come out and take a few steps!"
A servant rushed in in panic and shouted to Fang Xuanling.
puff!
"Wang Gui, you are an old man. I will fight with you until death..."
Fang Xuanling spurted out a mouthful of black blood and fainted.
I don't know if he was pretending or if he was real. Anyway, he fell straight to the ground, unconscious, and the whole house was in chaos.
Fortunately, the patrolling Jinwu guards arrived and tried to persuade everyone to trust His Majesty and the princes. The common people reluctantly left angrily, preparing to block the next family.
Wei Zheng was not as lucky as Fang Xuanling. He left the house early to buy meat and cut twenty cents worth of mutton, preparing to treat himself and his family at noon.
As a result, on the way, I realized that something was wrong today. All my ears were talking about the court marriage, and these people kept cursing the court officials, saying that these officials only acted in secret and were soft-footed shrimps to the outside world.
He asked an old man about it, and it turned out that an article was published in Datang Daily today, which expressed his views on the matter in sharp words.
He quickly bought a newspaper, and before he could read it, someone recognized him as Lord Wei Zheng, the minister in charge of the imperial court.
"This person is the culprit who encouraged Your Majesty to marry the princess this time. Beat him to death. We Tang Dynasty people must be people of integrity. Why don't these dog officials marry their daughters to foreigners?"
Therefore, Wei Zheng didn't quite understand, and he was thrown a bunch of rotten leaves and rotten eggs. It seemed that these bastards were well prepared.
Finally, someone threw a brick, which directly hit Wei Zheng's head and caused bleeding.
Wei Zheng was also angry and attacked the imperial officials in the street. Do you still have the king's law in your heart? Do you still have the law?
When the patrolling Jinwu guards arrived, they almost didn't recognize Wei Zheng. They finally pulled Wei Zheng out of the rotten vegetable leaves and sent him directly to the medical school for rescue.
Changsun Wuji's mansion was also surrounded by people. A bunch of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown away, and some people threatened to burn down Changsun Wuji's mansion.
Changsun Wuji was so frightened that he ran away from the tunnel.
As for the civil servants in the court, no one was spared. They were all targeted by the people and businessmen. Even today, many businessmen closed their shops and went to the imperial city to petition. These treacherous ministers could not be forced to marry their daughters to the plateau. go.
If you really want to marry, then marry all the daughters of these traitorous officials.
