Chapter 441 The imperial concubine complained
Xinxiang Hou Fangjun......
Upon hearing such a name, His Majesty Li Er subconsciously clicked his tongue and scratched his head.
It is undeniable that His Majesty Li Er thinks highly of Fang Jun and likes Fang Jun's casual style. Among the people all over the world who are fawning and groveling, it is really refreshing to have such a boy who is not so afraid of his own imperial power, but who sincerely respects his great achievements.
It seems that in the eyes of this boy, he is not an emperor with the power of life and death, but just a respectable elder. This feeling makes His Majesty Li Er very comfortable. Therefore, when he was annoyed by Fang Jun, His Majesty Li Er would kick him and scold him regardless of Jun Yi. He felt very close to him and did not need to care about the etiquette and rules of the monarch and his ministers, let alone deliberately maintain the emperor's behavior. majesty.
Even if the boy keeps saying that he doesn't want to marry his daughter, His Majesty Li Er can endure it again and again. If another person dares to be so critical of his daughter, would you try His Majesty Li Er's sword?
But then again, although His Majesty Li Er is very close to Fang Jun, he still has to have a headache because this kid is too noisy and can cause trouble...
Sighing, His Majesty Li Er asked helplessly: "How did your brother offend Fang Jun? Didn't you tell me that your brother just doesn't do his job all day long, but he doesn't have any scruples about doing anything wrong? Did you know that there was a written record from the imperial history? Impeachment, all Suppress it with all your strength, and you can't bear to blame him, which makes you look embarrassed. That Fang Jun is famous for being a stickman, even someone can't do anything to him. Why does your brother provoke him? Even if he suffers a little loss, it won't be a big deal. Just tolerate it.”
These words made Concubine Wei feel so wronged that she wanted to cry again...
What do you mean?
Without even asking what the cause of the incident was, I prejudged that it was my brother's fault, and I had to endure the loss...
But Concubine Wei really didn't dare to act coquettishly in front of His Majesty Li Er to support her younger brother, because she knew that His Majesty Li Er didn't have much love for her. Maybe he did, but that was a long time ago...
In His Majesty Li Er's harem, Concubine Wei is absolutely not favored.
Due to the system of the Sui Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, the titles of the four concubines of the first rank were in order of Noble Shu, Dexian and Xian. Although Concubine Wei had a high status and was the first of the four concubines except the queen, her presence was very low. Not all matters in the harem are based on status, the emperor's favor is the most important.
Since the death of Empress Changsun, the harem has been leaderless, and every concubine has dreamed of the throne at the head of the Sixth Palace.
But Concubine Wei understands that no matter how many times you count, she won’t have any share...
Therefore, even if she came to His Majesty Li Er to complain about Fang Jun, Concubine Wei did not dare to speak out. Instead, she talked about her grievances in a roundabout way and tried her best to use devious tactics.
Concubine Wei felt sad, but she had served His Majesty Li Er for many years, and even with her character and temperament, she did not dare to disobey even if she was wronged. She could only say sadly: "It was not my brother who provoked Fang Jun, but Fang Jun who used the knife in front of him." I was forced to beat him or kill him. I also knew that Wei Zhang had done a lot of evil things, so I didn’t come to cry to your majesty and hope that he would be punished. Fang Jun, but I really want Your Majesty to transfer Wei Zhang out of Guanzhong. As long as there is your imperial edict, Fang Jun will not be aggressive. Otherwise, I am really worried about my brother. Fang Jun has always been lawless. Who knows if Qi will do something daring? I only have one younger brother, so I ask for your mercy..."
What she said was sincere, and every word was sad and aggrieved. After all, she was a relative of the emperor, but she was forced to flee Guanzhong. Even others had to shed tears of sympathy for her...
But His Majesty Li Er felt disgusted after hearing this.
Fang Jun is indeed a bastard, but His Majesty Li Er knows that this boy has always been a man who will not offend others unless others offend him. Only when he is provoked and attacked, he will fight back by any means or regardless of the consequences.
Moreover, Concubine Wei kept saying that she was not complaining, but was lowering her status and asking for transfer. Isn't it true that she wanted to complain? It's just that the method is much smarter than a straightforward complaint.
If he really issued an imperial edict to transfer Wei Zhang, it would further confirm the fact that Fang Jun was so lawless and domineering that he even oppressed the emperor's relatives.
What's particularly important is that His Majesty Li Er is in a mess right now, thinking about what Fang Jun said in the memorial. How can he care about Wei Zhang, a playboy?
Wronged? Just bear with it! Normally, others suffer a lot of grievances from you, why can't you also suffer them once? This time you met Fang Jun, whom you can't afford to offend. If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a chance to complain!
But after all, Concubine Wei's face had to be taken into consideration, so His Majesty Li Er lowered his head and said: "There is no need to play with those scheming, I just gave Fang Jun a warning. But later on, you have to advise Wei Zhang, he is also a big boss, don't spend the whole day You just mess around with nothing, but you have to do something to make your sister look good, right?”
"No..." Concubine Wei could only agree softly.
Although she was unwilling to do so, she was able to put her mind at ease. She was really afraid that Fang Jun would do something wrong and get her brother out of harm's way. Even the prince would dare to hit him with that stick, so what if he broke one of Wei Zhang's legs and hands? ?
At the same time, I finally realized in my heart that Fang Jun's status in the eyes of His Majesty Li Er was not just because he was Fang Xuanling's son and Gao Yang's future consort, so it was not inconvenient to deal with him as it was rumored by the outside world.
His Majesty the Emperor really values Fang Jun!
Even so, the Wei family should adjust their strategy towards Fang Jun. After all, that boy has not yet lost his crown, and His Majesty is still in his prime. At least in His Majesty's lifetime, as long as Fang Jun does not commit those stupid things of rebellion, no one can shake his status in His Majesty's eyes...
The seventeen-year-old Minister of Rites has appeared in all dynasties, ancient and modern, but has he ever appeared before?
Gan Luo, who became prime minister at the age of twelve, can probably be compared with this...
Concubine Wei left with satisfaction.
Although he didn't get the ideal goal, he learned about Fang Jun's value, which was an unexpected gain.
Such a person will definitely become the mainstay of the imperial court in the next few decades. He must build relationships as soon as possible. How can he become enemies because of his younger brother? That's just stupid!
Compared with the interests of the family, what is personal honor and disgrace?
His Majesty Li Er was left alone. He picked up the memorial again and read it carefully, chewing on every word and feeling excited every time.
After a long while, His Majesty Li Er finally put down the memorial, thought about it, summoned Wang De who was waiting outside the door, and said: "Go to the palace immediately, summon Xuan Ling into the palace, and tell him that there is something big going on." ”
Wang De did not dare to neglect and turned around in a hurry, but he was suspicious in his heart. He didn't know what kind of memorial Fang Er's servant had presented to His Majesty. It actually made His Majesty so entangled and confused that he actually wanted to summon Fang Xuanling into the palace in the middle of the night?
*****
When Fang Xuanling came to the Lizheng Hall, she was also confused.
"Your Majesty, what's the important thing for summoning ministers here late at night?" Fang Xuanling asked.
Although there was no peace in the world at present, the situation in the barbarians and the government was stable. Fang Xuanling really couldn't think of anything that His Majesty Li Er had to call him to discuss in the middle of the night. Could it be that Tubo once again raised troops to invade the border?
It doesn't make sense. Even if Tubo was dissatisfied with the marriage and raised an army, they should have discussed it with Li Ji...
His Majesty Li Er handed Fang Jun's memorial to Fang Xuanling and pointedly said: "Look at this, it really scares me into a cold sweat. Xuanling, you have raised a good son! If you give it to that boy If you don’t have a pair of wings, you have to fly into the sky!”
Fang Xuanling murmured in her heart, doesn't this seem like a good thing?
Could it be that his prodigal son had done something outrageous and bad to make His Majesty angry? But it must be a big deal for His Majesty, who has always been calm and composed, to summon me late at night...
Fang Xuanling felt uneasy, took the memorial, and read it carefully.
This is my son's handwriting. Well, this stroke has improved compared to before, and the uprightness and beauty are more obvious...
At first, Fang Xuanling was secretly proud of her second son's handwriting, but as she looked at it, she broke out in a cold sweat. When he reached the last line, Fang Xuanling knelt down with a bang, sweating profusely and shouted: "My lord, your crime deserves death..." (End of Chapter)
