Chapter 179 How to make a minister
In the Dragon Palace, His Majesty Li Er was sipping fragrant tea and listening to Li Junxian describe in detail what Fang Jun did in front of the gate of Duke Yun's Mansion, his eyes followed the little figure of Princess Jinyang as he moved back and forth.
The little girl was particularly excited today. She stayed up so late and ran around the room with the revolving lantern in her hand, laughing as cheerfully as silver bells from time to time.
This made His Majesty Li Er feel a lot better. Since the death of Queen Changsun, neither he nor the two children, Zhinu and Sizi, have laughed less and less.
These were the bones and blood left to him by Guanyin. His Majesty Li Er swore to take good care of every child he had with Guanyin. Zhinu and Sizi were too young, so he placed the two little ones in his house for the first time. In the palace, he personally takes care of daily life and raises adults.
Throughout the ages, emperors and their children have lived together. This is unprecedented and unique!
This shows His Majesty Li Er's affection for Queen Changsun and his doting on these two little guys.
Therefore, after learning that Fang Jun had eaten candied haws for Princess Jinyang without permission, he would be so furious!
But it is also true that the happy and excited look of Princess Jinyang now makes His Majesty Li Er's anger because of Fang Jun not long ago dissipate a lot unconsciously.
"What do you think?"
His Majesty Li Er smiled and looked at Princess Jinyang who hung the lantern on the bedside, and asked Li Junxian.
Li Junxian naturally understood what His Majesty Li Er was asking.
But he knows better what he should say and what he shouldn't say...
"I'm very impulsive, and I live up to my reputation." Li Junxian could only say this.
His Majesty Li Er glanced at him with a half-smile, and said: "Decision-making, arrogant and domineering, sizing up the situation, being reasonable and unforgiving... Why can't I see where I am impulsive?"
Li Junxian did not refute, thought for a while, and added: "Not bad!"
"Haha." His Majesty Li Er smiled and sighed: "Yes, if the second son is in the army, he will surely stand out. If he is placed in an officialdom, he will surely be promoted and make a fortune... You say he is impulsive, but he always Under the surface of an impulse, there are extremely careful secrets hidden. Although his thinking may seem excessive, he always manages not to touch the bottom line. This kid has a certain feeling, like a veteran who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, always able to get what he wants most despite his seemingly absurd behavior. The result is strange! ”
As he said that, His Majesty Li Er fell into deep thought again.
Fang Jun's behavior this time was indeed arrogant and domineering, but he knew very well where the bottom line was, and that was Fang Xuanling's kindness in recommending Zhang Liang back then! As long as this line is there and the fault lies with the Zhang family, then no matter what, Zhang Liang has nothing to do with him.
Even if Zhang Shenji's hand was chopped off, the Zhang family would not be able to do anything.
Report to the official?
The world won't care what your reasons are. As long as you do this, people will only say that Zhang Liang is ungrateful. Besides, how about reporting to the official? It was just a hand chopped off, but it wasn't murder. How could one chop off Fang Jun's hand to atone for the crime? At worst, you'll have to pay for it, or at most you'll get a slap in the face.
To go against the sky is to argue with Fang Xuanling and end the past kindness.
But Fang Jun's goal was achieved. Whether he was knocking on the mountain to frighten the tiger or killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, from now on, no matter whether it is a wealthy family or a noble general in Chang'an City, they must give the Fang family three points of courtesy. No one dares to provoke him if anything goes wrong. .
It’s really not simple...
Li Junxian didn't know how to answer the call.
In fact, in his opinion, Fang Jun was proud to receive such comments from His Majesty Li Er.
"Father, are you talking about brother-in-law?"
When Princess Jinyang heard the name "Fang Jun", she quickly ran over, pulled His Majesty Li Er's sleeve, looked at her father pitifully with her big black eyes, and begged: "Father, please don't blame your brother-in-law, okay?" good? It was Si Zi who was greedy and asked his brother-in-law to buy candied haws. The brother-in-law originally refused, but when Si Zi cried, he couldn't do anything... So, it's all Si Zi's fault. Don't blame your brother-in-law..."
His Majesty Li Er smiled and hugged Princess Jinyang on his lap: "Oh! Our little princess is actually a loyal person?"
Princess Jinyang hugged His Majesty Li Er's neck and said in a sweet voice, "Of course! If my father slaps my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law will no longer dare to play with Si Zi in the future!"
< br>
His Majesty Li Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Is this why he talks about loyalty?
"Did you have fun today?"
"I'm so happy!" Princess Jinyang became excited when she said this. She sat on her father's lap and kept gesticulating with her little hands: "At first, Si Zi couldn't see anything, but then my brother-in-law carried me on his back. I saw a lot of lanterns, all kinds of lanterns, colorful The color is so beautiful! The candied haws are also delicious, sour and sweet... Also, my brother-in-law is so good at guessing lantern riddles! Father, you don’t even know that my brother-in-law can guess it right. I’m almost crying because of the apology, gurgling…”
Seeing his daughter's bright smile, His Majesty Li Er felt the same and was in a good mood.
"Then, can my father take you out tomorrow night?"
"Really?"
Princess Jinyang shouted happily: "Wow, wow! My father has never taken Sizi out to play, so he took brother Zhinu with him, and then brought his brother-in-law with him. My brother-in-law is so good at guessing riddles, and Sizi still wants to Let my brother-in-law win some lanterns... But can you not bring Sister Seventeen with you?”
His Majesty Li Er wondered: "Why?"
Princess Jinyang looked around seriously, but found no trace of Princess Gaoyang. Then she leaned into His Majesty Li Er's ear and whispered: "Sister Seventeen and her brother-in-law are not on the right track. The two of them always quarrel..."
His Majesty Li Er was puzzled: "Then why didn't you take Sister Seventeen with you instead of Fang Jun?"
Princess Jinyang rolled her eyes and despised her father's intelligence: "Brother-in-law can guess riddles, and he can even carry me behind his back. Sister Seventeen can do nothing but quarrel..."
His Majesty Li Er was amused by his daughter's expression and laughed: "Okay, I actually dare to speak ill of your Seventeenth Sister. My father must go and sue you to see how Seventeenth Sister will deal with you!"
Princess Jinyang was startled, pouted, and said unwillingly: "Then... Then take Sister Seventeen with you... But if they quarrel, Father, please take care of Sister Seventeen... …”
"Why is this? Why not take care of Fang Jun?"
"I've noticed that every time we quarrel, it's Sister Seventeen who starts the fight, so my father just needs to control Sister Seventeen..."
Princess Jinyang looked like "I know everything".
His Majesty Li Er was a little bit a little bit annoyed.
That coward, in just a few moments, he coaxed his little girl around, focusing on saying nice things to him.
Then he deliberately made a sullen face and said: "Sizi, do you know that throughout the ages, anyone who flatters someone is a sycophant! Doesn't Fang Jun agree with this sentence by trying to please you so much? So, you will leave in the future. Stay away from that sycophant!”
Li Junxian, who was still in the hall, twitched his mouth when he heard this...
Fang Jun, Fang Jun, if I knew that you would become a sycophant, I wonder if you would cry...
"Nie?"
The little princess was a little dumbfounded. She had read books and knew some historical biographies. Her big eyes blinked and she was a little confused: "Are they bad guys like Qingfu and Liang Ji?"
His Majesty Li Er held back his laughter: "Exactly!"
The little princess was confused, biting her fingers and almost crying...
"But... Sizi likes the niece so much, what should I do? Wuwuwu, sir, he said that one should stay close to the virtuous minister and stay away from the traitorous minister, but why does Sizi like to play with Nichen's brother-in-law? Wuwuwu, is the father of the emperor, Sizi? He is also a bad guy..."
"Hahaha..."
His Majesty Li Er was so amused by his daughter's expression that he burst into laughter.
Li Junxian was unable to complain: You are really free...
**********
At the same time, the house was in a state of uproar.
Fang Xuanling stood in the hall, blowing his beard and staring at Fang Jun who was sitting there leisurely drinking tea.
Lu held her waist with both hands, her tigress attribute exploded, and she sprayed Fang Xuanling.
"Who is Zhang Liang? He cut off his son's hand, so what? If it were my wife, I would have chopped off his head long ago to avoid harming others in the future! It's a good thing for you, your son has been raised for our family. If you don’t praise your momentum, that’s all. If you open your mouth and start scolding, who are you showing off to?”
Fang Xuanling was furious: "To put it lightly! He is also a prince after all..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mr. Lu.
"What's wrong with the Duke? It's not like I cut off Zhang Liang's hand. His son, the King of Heaven, bullies my wife, so I have to cut it off!"
Fang Xuanling almost went crazy: "Why are you so unreasonable?!"
Lu was full of momentum: "I'm so unreasonable, why?! Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling, you have been weak all your life. I couldn't compete with Du Ruhui before and I won't blame you. Now I can't compete with Changsun Wuji and I won't criticize you either. How can I say that?" Are you still afraid of Zhang Liang? My son is right, he is a hammer!”
Fang Xuanling was so angry that her head was about to smoke, and she pointed at Lu's nose: "I...I..."
"What's going on, you want to hit me? Come on, hit me!"
At this time, Mrs. Du came out of the back hall with a cup of tea in her hand. She handed it to Fang Jun with a smile on her face and said softly: "Are you thirsty? Take a sip of tea quickly!"
Fang Jun quickly took it: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Du Shi waved her hand: "You stand up for my sister-in-law, what does it mean if my sister-in-law pours you a cup of tea?" After saying that, she turned around and went back to the back hall. She had long been accustomed to the tense situation between her father-in-law and her father-in-law, and just pretended not to see it...
Fang Xuanling said "I" for a long time, then got scared, turned to Fang Jun, and shouted: "You bastard, do you know your mistake?"
Fang Jun said simply: "My son is wrong."
But with that unsparing look on his face, there was no hint of knowing he was wrong?
"Huh! Just admit your mistake!" Fang Xuanling found a step for himself. No matter whether the step existed or not, he just treated it as existing...
Turn around and walk out of the main hall with your hands behind your back.
Lu Shizha said: "It's so late, where are you going?"
Fang Xuanling dropped a sentence: "If your son causes trouble, I will naturally clean up the mess. Otherwise, do you think he is really that courageous?"
Lu was stunned and looked at Fang Jun: "What does your father mean?"
Fang Jun chuckled: "After the fight between the sons, it is natural for me to mediate between myself..."
"Meet your head! Tell me, why do you get into trouble all day long?"
"Uh..." Fang Jun was a little confused: "Didn't you tell your father just now that I did the right thing?"
"That's right!"
Madam Lu punched him in anger: "Aren't I afraid that your father will deal with you? Give him a blow first. Do you understand this is called knocking the mountain to shake the tiger?"
Fang Jun immediately mourned for Lao Fang - this wife has begun to learn the art of war, and you are destined to be bullied and unable to stand up in this life... (End of Chapter)
