Chapter 214: Monarch and Minister (last night’s promise, more updates!)


Chapter 214: Monarch and Minister (last night’s promise, more updates!)

The whole Guanzhong is like before a storm, dull, depressing, and people are panicked.

Your Majesty visited the Lishan Garden, and unexpectedly there was a lieutenant general, Ashina, leading the association, colluding with both internal and external parties, and committing crimes to assassinate him!

How can this happen? !

Although the war is going on nowadays, the hinterland of the empire has been experiencing peace for a long time. Who would have thought that this would happen in Guanzhong?

For a time, "Hundred Cavalry" made an unannounced visit, and Marquis Wu was aware of it. The Yulin Army on the left and the Qianniu Guards on the left and right were waiting in strict formation. Those entering and leaving the four passes were strictly interrogated, and the whole pass was rife with wind.

Tai Chi Hall.

His Majesty Li Er looked gloomy and said nothing.

Fang Xuanling urged: "This matter was all started by the Ashina Association. Now that this official has been appointed, it should be brought to an end. As for whether there is someone secretly instigating it, and if it is secretly investigated by the 'Baiqi', it is not easy." At present, people all over Guanzhong are in panic, both business travelers and foreigners. Wait, but anyone who is suspicious will be imprisoned for questioning. However, what can you ask for? Your Majesty, you must beware of people with ulterior motives who seek to avenge themselves and confuse the public. To be destroyed in one day!”

This is definitely not scaremongering.

His Majesty was assassinated, and the court was shocked. In order to clear up the relationship, some people must try their best to hunt him down and make a big publicity to show their loyalty!

Will someone among them take the opportunity to retaliate and eliminate dissidents?

There will definitely be!

Doesn’t His Majesty Li Er know this truth?

He knows better than anyone else!

Moreover, it was just an unwarranted and hasty assassination. His majesty Li Er, who was accustomed to wind and rain and was so heroic, actually didn't care. What would happen if there were two or ten more clowns like this?

Native chicken and dog ears!

How can such a rat be allowed to destroy the great situation that the emperor and his ministers have worked hard to manage for many years?

He had long wanted to stop.

But what made him feel uncomfortable was that I was being assassinated! Although I have not been killed, you ministers should at least express your concern and nervousness towards me, okay?

Just like this Fang Xuanling, he opened his mouth and shut up and asked me to stop my hand with all his heart. What does this mean?

Anyway, he wasn’t killed, so forget it...

Are you just waiting for the day when I am really killed, and then you will be so angry that you will uncover the mastermind and avenge me?

That's still useful...

His Majesty Li Er felt unhappy and had a sullen face. No matter what Fang Xuanling said, he did not say a word or let go.

He is an emperor, but he is also a mortal first, and he has emotions as a human being...

Fang Xuanling didn't know what to do. He had said everything he needed to say. He believed that His Majesty also understood it, but why didn't he let go?

I have no choice but to glance at Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji next to me. Don't just stare at each other, but say a few words...

Changsun Wuji is an old fox. He has not figured out the pulse of His Majesty Li Er, and he will not easily intervene even if he is killed.

Cheng Yaojin doesn’t care about that, let me say a few words? If so, just say a few words!

The old man said angrily, "I don't know whether to live or die! Those Turkic bastards have all eaten leopard bile. I don't know how to write the word "death"? Your Majesty, give me a command arrow, and I will immediately point all the elites of the Twelve Guards. Arrest all the Turks in Guanzhong and show their heads to the public! I want to see who will dare to do such a heinous act in the future."

Fang Xuanling's face turned pale with fright, and said angrily: "Shut up! Do you know how many Turks are attached to various places in Guanzhong? You don't have to do it. As long as these words are spread, Guanzhong will be shocked and the public will be furious. , it’s just nonsense!”

If we really do what Cheng Yaojin said, Fang Xuanling can guarantee that there will be chaos in Guanzhong immediately and it will be out of control...

His Majesty Li Er is no longer calm. Although Cheng Yaojin's words are a bit rough, who knows if there is anyone outside who has this kind of intention? What if someone with ulterior motives comes up with something like this under the pretext of avenging me and catching the culprit...

Hiss——

His Majesty Li Er took a deep breath. Just now he felt that Fang Xuanling was a little unreasonable, but now he realized that this was a mature statement. This fact is very likely to happen!

But forget it, I still can’t save my face...

"How is the prince doing lately?"

His Majesty Li Er began to interrupt.

Fang Xuanling was stunned, why did he go to the prince?

He is the prince's young master, formerly the prince Zhan Shi, and has a close relationship with the prince Li Chengqian.

Hearing this, he replied: "The prince has never left his residence for fun since a year ago. He studies hard in Chongwen Hall every day."

His Majesty Li Er slightly nodded his head, feeling a little relieved.

He was extremely confused about the prince.

Although His Majesty Li Er is the supreme emperor of the Tang Empire, when facing his own son, he is just like thousands of ordinary fathers in the world, carefully cultivating and patiently teaching him, especially his own son. The eldest son will inherit his imperial legacy, and His Majesty Li Er has spent a lot of effort and energy.

When the prince was less than six years old, His Majesty Li Er asked the famous Confucian master Lu Deming to teach him; when he was twelve years old, His Majesty Li Er began to consciously cultivate his ability to handle government affairs; after the prince grew older and did not follow the rules, His Majesty Li Er also took great pains to lead him back to the right path. As soon as he heard that some people speculated that the crown prince's throne was unstable, he immediately appointed Wei Zheng as the crown prince's grand master to defeat the public's expectations...

His Majesty Li Er, who knew the people of the DPRK very well and planned the general trend of the world, could not understand why his son who was "intelligent, sensitive, handsome, benevolent and filial" had turned into a ridiculous, extravagant and extravagant son. Wasteful, willful and arrogant?

After thinking about it, he said: "Studying all day long is not the way to learn. It requires a balance between work and rest. This time when the rebels broke into the enemy's territory, I made a great contribution to my legacy. Not only did I support the sky to protect me, but I also sacrificed my life to save the princess. Now Since I have been told that I am ill at home, I asked the prince to go and express condolences on my behalf and give me many rewards.”

Fang Xuanling hurriedly thanked her son on behalf of her son, and finally understood what His Majesty Li Er meant, so let this matter go...

But why did you just have the attitude of "I'm very angry and the consequences will be serious"?

Fang Xuanling feels that she has become increasingly unclear about His Majesty Li Er's thoughts recently...

Cheng Yaojin said "Hey" and said carelessly: "What's the reward? That boy has a lot of money. The former official went to buy money for the house and bought back two kilograms of new tea before the rain. Ha! Good guy, guess how much it is. Money? Ten guan per pound! In my opinion, all the money in the world will be earned by the old Fang family one day... Your Majesty, you should see what kind of official you can reward."
< br>

Fang Xuanling smiled awkwardly and cursed in her heart: You are an old killer! Isn't it just that you dislike the tea being too expensive? You want to go to our house to enjoy the autumn breeze but I refuse, so why don't you go to His Majesty to apply eye drops?

The Yuqian tea is so rare that it has been gone for a long time...

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "As far as I know, the output of this rainy tea is very small, but it can be called the finest tea. The so-called rare thing is precious, and it is not the necessities of people's livelihood such as rice, flour, grain and oil. Even if it is more expensive, it is also It’s okay, just don’t drink it if you can’t afford it”

He doesn't deal with Fang Xuanling, but that doesn't mean that he will oppose Fang Xuanling anytime and anywhere, making him look like an enemy, which is too low-level.

This is where his intelligence lies.

His Majesty Li Er allowed his ministers to disagree and even be a bit dirty with each other, which would help him balance the situation in the court. If you are laughing and joking that everyone is wearing a pair of trousers, the one who should be worried is His Majesty Li Er. Maybe one day these ministers will discuss and change the emperor...

But His Majesty Li Er will still be unhappy if the needle is pointed at the wheat field all the time.

His Majesty Li Er is a generous person, and he also hopes that his ministers will be equally generous.

It is normal for people to have different political opinions and have conflicts, but His Majesty Li Er does not like such people who want to pull each other's pigtails and stumble at every turn.

What is good above will be replicated below.

Therefore, during the Zhenguan period, there were many ministers who were at odds with each other, but there were almost no such cases where they were quarreling all day long as if they were life-or-death enemies.

His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "Even if someone is not granted an official position, Fang Erlang will come to ask for it..."

The dispute between Fang Jun and His Majesty Li Er was not a secret. His Majesty Li Er himself talked about it several times in the harem as an interesting story.

Cheng Yaojin burst out laughing: "I like this timid temper! And he is as black as me, so he looks so much like my son!"

Fang Xuanling's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and she said angrily: "You are dozens of years old, why are you talking nonsense?"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but said: "How do you call this nonsense? Oh, Your Majesty, Changsun and Old Fox, please judge, does that boy Fang Jun look like me?"

Changsun Wuji suppressed his laughter, looked at the appearance, and said: "Oh, don't tell me, it looks a bit like..."

The opportunity to tease Fang Xuanling was hard-won.

This old guy is serious and serious all day long, and he doesn't leak anything, leaving people helpless even if they want to find something wrong.

His Majesty Li Er laughed heartily and said: "Fang Aiqing, why don't you go home and ask your wife what is the reason for this?"

Making fun of the minister with such a filthy topic is like a rogue in the market. How can he look like an emperor at all?

Fang Xuanling became angry with embarrassment, her face flushed, and she was about to speak, but was interrupted by Cheng Yaojin.

The old killer raised his orchid fingers, pinched his throat, and said to His Majesty Li Er in a shrill voice: "Oh, Your Majesty hates it. You know that people don't dare to ask..."

"Ugh!"

"Hahaha!"

Changsun Wuji laughed so much that he almost fell over and was out of breath. It was a rare opportunity to flirt with Xuan Ling in the theater. He was so happy!

His Majesty Li Er was so frightened by the way Cheng Yaojin, a big black bear-like man, pinched his orchid finger that he almost vomited, but he was also out of breath laughing.

Fang Xuanling was furious and walked away!

What kind of emperor is this? He has no rules at all!

I don’t know whether to slap someone in the face or to criticize someone without exposing their shortcomings... Just give me the counting votes... (^人^)
