Chapter 233 Trading merit for freedom
How could His Majesty Li Er be so flattered that he fainted?
He patted Princess Jinyang on the shoulder, walked over and sat on the couch, snorted and asked, "Let me ask you, if I watched you act earlier, you must have been slandering your reputation. Presumably, you did not agree with my proposed marriage. , so that I voluntarily give up this marriage, why did I give up halfway later?”
Princess Jinyang obediently handed her father the cup of tea and water.
Fang Jun said seriously: "Because Wei Chen suddenly understood a truth."
"Oh? What does it mean? Let me tell you."
Fang Jun pondered for a moment and said in a low tone: "Even if gold is buried in the soil, it will still shine..."
"Poof!"
His Majesty Li Er choked on the tea he just drank into his nose, and coughed violently until tears almost came out. Princess Jinyang was startled, and quickly ran behind her father, stretched out her little pink fist to help beat her back, and asked worriedly: "Are you feeling better, father?"
His Majesty Li Er's face turned red from holding it back. After a while, he finally regained his composure. He pointed at Fang Jun's nose and didn't know what to say!
When it comes to the thickness of his skin and the depth of his shamelessness, His Majesty Li Er believes that he cannot lose to anyone!
He initiated the Xuanwumen Incident and personally killed his half-brother and half-brother. The changes in the Xuanwu Gate recorded in history books are very restrained and obscure, but in fact, after killing these people, he also did several things. First of all, he killed his elder brother and all the children in his younger brother's family, not one of them was left. Isn't that cruel enough? In addition, King Yuanji of Qi had a very beautiful wife named Yang. He took her to his palace without saying a word...
No matter who is asked to evaluate it, this is an extremely immoral thing. So how did His Majesty Li Er defend himself?
He said that this matter was like Zhou Gong's execution of Guan Cai. Killing relatives in a righteous way would benefit the world. Killing them both by himself would be beneficial to the world. In addition, he did another thing immediately. He found a son among his own sons, saying that Yuanji's family had no children or grandchildren, and there was no incense. He adopted his son to him to renew the incense. He couldn't bear to see the incense in Yuanji's family cut off.
Is it really good to be so thick-skinned?
I can't bear to see people's incense cut off, so why kill the whole family...
But now, His Majesty Li Er has met his opponent. Fang Jun is so shameless!
After all, Princess Jinyang was still young and could not understand the peerless coquettishness hidden in Fang Jun's words. She looked at Fang Jun in confusion, wondering why her father had such a big reaction.
Your Majesty Li Er's face twitched for a while. If Princess Jinyang hadn't been there, he would have had to be kicked by his big feet to relieve the hatred in his heart!
With luck, he asked: "So now, your piece of gold will no longer conflict with this marriage?"
When he said this, His Majesty Li Er was really worried. He thought, Li Shimin, who is rich and has everything in his hands, and my daughter, who is so beautiful and graceful, that I don't want to marry him?
Who gave you the courage?
Fang Jun was silent for a moment, then plucked up the courage, looked directly at His Majesty Li Er, and said frankly: "I haven't changed my original intention, I just changed my approach."
His Majesty Li Er was not angry: "Why didn't I notice it? What method did you use?"
"Wei Chen wants to exchange enough achievements for His Majesty to take back his life!"
His Majesty Li Er was slightly startled, and then laughed.
As if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, His Majesty Li Er laughed out of breath and gasped: "Why, do you think that a piece of glass can be worth the reputation of my princess's purity and purity? ”
Fang Jun is depressed, Princess Gaoyang has a bad reputation? Uh... That's not right. This girl should have no reputation in the future... Alas, it doesn't make sense no matter how you put it!
But he was a little strange: "What does this have to do with the princess? Your Majesty can blame everything on Wei Chen, saying that Wei Chen has bad moral character, bad temper, arrogant and unlearned, unkind and unjust... and even likes masculinity and is incompetent. , scum, no matter what.”
He felt that His Majesty Li Er's current state was a bit strange. He seemed not too angry about his resistance to the marriage, so he tried his best to persuade His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er wondered: "What is a scumbag?"
This was the first time he heard this term and he didn't understand its meaning.
"They are the scum of men, the scum of the world..."
His Majesty Li Er nodded: "It is worthy of the name."
Fang Jun: "..."
You canceled the marriage, so I was willing to be a scumbag. You haven't canceled it yet. Isn't this taking advantage of others?
Princess Jinyang interrupted at this time: "Brother-in-law, my father wants to marry Sister Seventeen to you, and Uncle Fang has agreed. Why don't you want Sister Seventeen? Don't you like her? Sister Seventeen is very beautiful. And very rich..."
In the eyes of the little princess of Jinyang, Princess Gaoyang, who often received rewards from her father, was extremely rich. Although she received many rewards, she was still a child. Her father only rewarded her with delicious and fun things. Never give money...
Fang Jun thought for a while, but he dared not say that even if your seventeenth sister was a fairy daughter, I wouldn’t want it, otherwise I would have to be strangled to death by His Majesty Li Er...
He said tactfully: "This has nothing to do with Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang. The minister is not against the princess, but against arranged marriage."
Princess Jinyang blinked her big eyes with a cute look on her face, unable to understand...
His Majesty Li Er had never heard of "arranged marriage", but if he thought about it carefully and understood the word and its meaning, he understood it.
I understand, but that doesn't mean I agree.
"Who in the world is not in an arranged marriage? I am, your father and your mother are, everyone is, so why are you not?"
His Majesty Li Er couldn't stand Fang Jun's weird thinking. What kind of nonsense does this little bastard think about all day long?
Fang Jun cheered up and talked eloquently: "In the past, marriages were arranged by parents, and children obeyed with peace of mind. In this way, the little conjugal love that the husband and wife had was not a subjective hobby. , but an objective obligation, not the basis of marriage, but an add-on to marriage..."
Fang Jun also worked hard and figured out everything Ma En said...
"How many people's tragedies were born from this kind of blind marriage that was ordered by parents and the matchmaker said? Before getting married, both men and women don't even know what each other looks like, especially women. They can only marry chickens and dogs. If you meet a kinder person, it's okay, but if you meet a tyrannical person, you can only be slaughtered and enslaved by others, and live a miserable life! Doesn't your Majesty think that this is actually the greatest tragedy in the world? "
I have to say that Fang Jun's speech quality was absolutely first-rate, and he spoke to His Majesty Li Er thoughtfully and without saying a word.
Princess Jinyang tilted her head as if she didn't understand.
But...
His Majesty Li Er asked: "What does this have to do with you? Could it be that you and Gao Yang don't know each other's looks? Or, after getting married, do you dare to let my daughter be slaughtered and enslaved by others, and live a miserable life? Other people's affairs, Why are you worrying?”
Fang Jun blinked, speechless...
Yes, this seems to have nothing to do with me?
Damn it, I went off topic while talking, why are you telling His Majesty Li Er this?
Then he hurriedly said: "Speaking of merits, Wei Chen is more than just glass."
His Majesty Li Er seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Then tell me, why don't I know what else you can do besides glass? The incident in Qingzhou doesn't count. Even without you, those clowns wouldn't be able to do anything."< br>
The little princess of Jinyang hugged His Majesty Li Er's arm and said cutely: "My brother-in-law saved the Seventeenth Sister, does this count?"
"Well... well, since Si Zi speaks for you, let's just forget it."
Fang Jun gave Princess Jinyang a thumbs up, the little princess is so selfish!
Princess Jinyang smiled sweetly.
His Majesty Li Er was reluctant and still had a little taste in his heart. This is our daughter. She is always pampered and pampered, so her elbows are bent outwards when she is so big?
"Actually," Fang Jun looked at His Majesty Li Er and said slowly, "I can present to Your Majesty the thousand-mile mountainous terrain of Goguryeo in detail within two years."
His Majesty Li Er felt a "bang" in his heart, and his breathing suddenly became heavy.
Unbelievable!
His Majesty Li Er asked in a deep voice: "How do you do something that hundreds of craftsmen cannot do?"
Fighting, to a certain extent, is all about intelligence!
The Sui Dynasty finally fell under Yang Guang's perverse behavior. It died tragically, and was replaced by the increasingly prosperous and invincible Tang Empire.
Longhuji, Fengyunhui, this is a heroic era!
After the ambitious Li Er came to the throne, he conquered the south and swept the north. The Turks had collapsed, Gaochang was about to be destroyed, and Xue Yantuo was still hanging on. Although Tubo was strong, it had a vast territory and few people, but it was plagued by scabies. The country entered an unprecedented period of rapid development. There was only one road left in front of him at this time - Goguryeo!
As early as the ninth year of Zhenguan, after Li Jing defeated Tuguhun, His Majesty Li Er had already sent detailed reports to Goguryeo to inquire about the strength of the soldiers and the terrain of the mountains and rivers. The success cannot be achieved.
In this era of extremely backward communication and transportation, this time is already very difficult.
But now Fang Jun vowed to tell him that this matter could be completed within two years? !
After hearing him talk about hundreds of craftsmen, Fang Jun said proudly: "In the vault of Dong Datang Company, there is a plan drawn up by a minister. According to that plan, within two years, the goods of Dong Datang Company will be Throughout the Three Kingdoms of Korea, all states and counties in Goguryeo will be under the eyes of the minister! "A few hundred people?
When the monster of the Eastern Datang Company is fully formed, and when the power of commerce takes hold of every merchant and wreaks havoc in Goguryeo, we can mobilize tens of thousands of people to accurately record every village, every road, and even every well!
Do you think our Eastern Datang company, whose name comes from "The Honorable East India Company" in later generations, is vegetarian?
This section is the first turning point in the book. It was very tiring to write, of course because I put so much effort into it... Moreover, time has become less and less recently, and it has become increasingly difficult to update so many, but brothers are still working hard! (There should be applause here...)
