Chapter 279 Bet (Part 2)
"Bet?" Zheng Boling frowned and looked at Fang Jun warily.
"It's interesting if you have a lottery, otherwise who would bet with you?" Fang Jun said with an expression of "Are you kidding"...
Zheng Boling felt suffocated, am I going to bet with you? But he was really afraid that Fang Jun would bring up the bad idea of "killing chickens to scare monkeys" to the emperor again, so he could only hold back his anger and said: "I would like to hear the details. As long as they are fair to each other, I will naturally have no objections."
Fang Jun said with a smile: "Zheng Shaoqing is really cautious. In this way, if I lose, I will kowtow to you and admit my mistake and agree with your point of view; if you lose, I will not ask for gold and silver, so you will kneel outside the Suzaku Gate. Is it fair to just shout "I'm wrong" three times? Haha, to put it into detail, you still took advantage, but I respect the old and love the young. Alas, I suffered a lot..."
Zheng Boling's face trembled and he looked at Fang Jun angrily. Are you still respecting the elderly and loving the young? Are you still suffering from this?
Suck your head!
For your Fang Jun to kneel down to me is at most a loss of face, not a big deal;
But if I, Zheng Boling, were to kneel down to you, I would be tearing off your face and trampling it under your feet! I, Zheng Boling, represent the Zheng family in Laiyang and am the vanguard of the aristocratic families. If I admit my mistake, all the aristocratic families will admit their mistakes!
But who can you, Fang Jun, represent?
No one can represent anyone!
Is this fair?
But no matter how angry he was in his heart, he had to accept this seemingly fair but actually unethical bet, and he didn't even dare to say such nonsense as "taking it easy and getting what you deserve" because he was really afraid that His Majesty Li Er would turn him into Laiyang Zheng. I regard it as the "chicken" that I am waiting for...
*************
"You scoundrel, how can you talk nonsense like that?"
Fang Xuanling blew his beard and glared, wishing he could beat this scoundrel to death. He was always causing trouble all day long, and there was no time to calm down!
Fang Jun shrank his neck, not daring to argue.
On the contrary, His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting firmly on the couch, comforted him: "In that case, it can be regarded as a delaying strategy. I was really confused at that time, so I thought it would be better to kill all these guys who pretend to be noble but are holding back public opinion. It’s over! But it’s really hard to make this determination..."
His Majesty Li Er let out a long sigh.
It's easy to kill, but it's so hard to finish!
If we kill all those people, there will be no doubt that the world will be in chaos early tomorrow morning. All the aristocratic families in various places will definitely mobilize with all their strength. They may not dare to rebel, but uniting to resist the imperial decree will make every decree useless. This is almost For sure.
Each of these aristocratic families and wealthy families has been in business for hundreds of years, and their influence has long penetrated into every corner of the local area.
How to resolve that situation?
Very simple, kill! Kill all the way and kill all those who dare to resist the imperial court and resist His Majesty Li Er!
Killing so many heads and blood flowing like rivers...
His Majesty Li Er is confident that he will wipe out all these noble families and uproot them, but what happens after they are killed? Do you rely on those poor families who don't even know how to read to manage the entire world? You must know that among all the literate people of the Tang Dynasty, more than 80% were children of various aristocratic families, and another 10% had serious interests and entanglements with various aristocratic families. Only 10% were scholars from poor families. These were still at the lowest level. of officials.
People like Ma Zhou who come from a humble family but have outstanding abilities and high positions are really rare...
This is the basis for the determination of those aristocratic families!
If you kill us all, who will run this country for you?
Fang Xuanling looked at His Majesty Li Er, and then at his son who looked indifferent. He was also very worried: "Yes, it's a delaying strategy... but you kid can't tell the time longer? The longer it drags on. , the greater the chance of rain, why do we have to say seven days? The seven days will pass in a blink of an eye, what will we do then?”
Fang Jun was a little aggrieved: "I thought so too, but do you think Zheng Boling is a fool? The big bosses in the court who came from aristocratic families didn't say anything and just pushed this old guy out to lead the charge. He was obviously a man with outstanding mental and intellectual abilities. Otherwise, who would trust him? When the time comes, he will disagree even within seven days. If you can't win over them, what will your majesty do? It's easy to break their legs, but if they wear it outside, the public opinion will inevitably be fierce. Those aristocratic families will glorify them as great heroes and heroes who love the people like their sons and sacrifice themselves for the people. How unfair is it that all the dirty water is poured on His Majesty?”
The afternoon sun shines in through the windows, revealing a scorching heat that makes people even more irritated...
His Majesty Li Er held the tea cup in his hand, with anger hidden on his square face. He snorted coldly and said: "These bastards don't know how to write the word "death"! No matter what, Fang Jun can delay these seven days and let me Making preparations early is a great achievement!”
Fang Xuanling was still worried again, and his usual calm and wise demeanor had long since disappeared. Faced with this situation, he also felt that it was extremely difficult and there was no way to solve it. He said distressedly: "Your Majesty, you must not let your anger blind you. arrive After all, this world is yours, they can break it, but you can't! At least this scoundrel delayed it for seven days. No matter how hard we think about it, we will definitely think of a way to get the best of both worlds..."
"Ahem!" Fang Jun coughed twice and said helplessly: "Who told you...that I was stalling for time these seven days?"
"The adults are talking, but the children are interjecting randomly..." Fang Xuanling cursed for a while, suddenly woke up, looked at his son in disbelief, and asked in surprise: "You mean...you have a way?"
His Majesty Li Er also looked over, his eyes filled with surprise.
Could this kid really have a way to resolve this dead situation?
Shouldn't you let me give in and promise never to eliminate the privileges of the noble family...
For him, it is absolutely forbidden to issue an edict to sin against oneself. Once this edict is issued, his reputation will be ruined for thousands of years!
Yu the Great issued an edict to punish himself because once he saw the person who committed the crime, he burst into tears and asked about the reason. Yu said: During the time of Yao and Shun, the people all took the heart of Yao and Shun as their heart, and I became the king, and the people Everyone takes his own heart as his own, so he feels pain.
Shang Tang issued an edict to sin against oneself in order to appease the people, "The guilt of one person is not as great as that of ten thousand men, and the guilt of ten thousand men lies with one man"!
King Cheng of Zhou issued an edict to punish himself, which was to "punish him and avoid future troubles."
And what about yourself? He was forced by the wealthy family to issue an edict to sin...
But it is absolutely impossible to retreat. That is not His Majesty Li Er's style!
The old man Fang Jun said: "Well...it's always people who come up with it. As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will naturally go straight when the boat reaches the bridge...Oh!"
But he was slapped hard on the back of the head by Fang Xuanling, and Lao Fang said angrily: "Speak humanly!"
"No..." Fang Jun rubbed his head, not daring to refute or fight back, so he could only say honestly: "Since it never rains, what would the emperors in the past do?"
"Of course I'm praying for rain!" Fang Xuanling looked at her with a look of "are you lying?" and looked down upon her...
Fang Jun looked at His Majesty Li Er: "Then why don't you ask for rain?"
His Majesty Li Er smiled bitterly: "For things like praying for rain... the success rate is not that high..."
According to the wisdom of His Majesty Li Er, the so-called praying for rain with great fanfare is just a play performed by the emperors for the common people. Apart from those long-lasting ancient myths, is there really any record in the history books of praying for rain?
"But what you said is right. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge... Well, it fits your character very well. You can die lying down, but never sit down. You are really lazy..." < br>
His Majesty Li Er was in a rare good mood and actually made a teasing comment.
Fang Xuanling hated the iron and scolded him: "I'll be more diligent in the future. I obviously have a good mind, but why don't I always refuse to do more things? Also, in the future, be more mature in your words and actions. Don't just start things off." It’s simply childish to wave your fists without saying anything!”
For this son, Lao Fang is happy and worried. He has talent, but his personality is too deviant, and his behavior and behavior are incompatible with others. He is simply a monster!
Fang Jun was flanked by two super fishermen and was in a state of embarrassment. He had no choice but to say with a grimace: "Actually... what I want to say next is that praying for rain can actually increase the probability..."
Fang Xuanling and His Majesty Li Er were stunned at the same time, ignored each other, and asked in unison: "Do you have any idea?"
"The solution... after all, it is people who come up with it. The so-called car reaches the front of the mountain... Oh! Don't kick..."
His Majesty Li Er was so angry that he kicked Fang Jun to the ground!
Fang Xuanling immediately rushed forward and cursed: "You bastard, I'll beat you to death today..." (End of Chapter)
