Chapter 453 Attending the Banquet
Songhe Tower in Chang'an City.
Early in the morning, His Royal Highness the Prince sent someone to the farm and invited Fang Jun to a banquet at Songhe Tower at noon.
In the eyes of others, he is a great grace and an excellent opportunity to get close to the prince, but Fang Jun is reluctant...
No one can understand better than him the dangers inherent in the succession of the throne in the early Tang Dynasty. One careless move could lead to death!
Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Ke......
In the eyes of the world, these princes have the best chance of inheriting the great treasure and enjoying the country. No matter which one you get close to, the final outcome will probably not be good. Although Conglong's meritorious service is remarkable and dignified, and can bring huge rewards, "standing on the wrong team" is the most tragic thing in officialdom. There is no doubt that no matter which of the above three princes you choose to inherit the throne, congratulations, you made the wrong choice...
Who would have thought that in the end it would be Li Zhi, the little young lady with a snot-filled nose, who would leave behind all his talented and capable brothers and ascend to the throne?
Therefore, Fang Jun's attitude has always been to stay away from several adult princes to avoid being drawn into the whirlpool of right and wrong. The cruelty of the struggle for imperial power made Fang Jun, who had been tortured by TV series and movies, feel wary. This was a ruthless war with no family ties and friendships, only interests.
No matter how confident Fang Jun was, he never dared to be confident enough to influence the ownership of imperial power...
It's just that when His Highness the Prince is summoned, it doesn't make sense to turn a blind eye to the big show. After all, he is still nominally the second person in the world, so he must be given some face. Otherwise, there is no need for the imperial censor to accuse him of not having imperial power, and his father Fang Xuanling can give him another ideological and moral education class.
When Fang Jun's extremely showy four-wheel carriage drove to the door of Songhe Tower, the servants of the East Palace who had been waiting here came forward to greet Fang Jun and waited on Fang Jun to get out of the car with a smiling face. Now this unique and extremely luxurious four-wheeled carriage is Fang Jun's signature, and everyone in Chang'an City knows it.
Walking up the stairs to the third floor, you were led into a private room by a servant.
The Songhe Tower is three stories high and is one of the best restaurants in Chang'an City. The decoration is luxurious and elegant, but the price is also extremely expensive, and each floor with unique characteristics is more expensive than the first. For ordinary people or small households, even the door No one dares to enter...
It has almost become a social place for the powerful.
In the elegant room, the banquet had been prepared. Li Chengqian was sitting at the main seat, and there was no one else.
Are we actually entertaining ourselves alone?
As soon as he entered the door, Fang Jun muttered in his heart. There is obviously something to say...
Fang Jun scratched his head.
Previously, he thought Li Chengqian was holding a banquet and invited a few friends to drink and have fun, so it wouldn't hurt to come over and join in the fun. But this meeting alone in private is definitely not that simple, and we have reserved such a large private room. I am afraid it will be difficult to cope with it today...
It’s too late to regret, you have bowed your head, can you still throw away your sleeves and leave?
Don't mistake Dou Bao for being a cadre. Even if Li Chengqian in history was eventually deposed and died tragically in a foreign land, but since there is such a huge variable as Fang Jun, who knows whether the wheel of history will deviate from the original track?
"Your Highness is so elegant, I am so flattered by you." Fang Jun said politely. In fact, he was really flattered.
Since Li Chengqian is the prince, even if he is not favored by His Majesty Li Er at this stage, after all, with his status, how can he have so few supporters around him? Now he has left everyone aside and only entertained Fang Jun himself, which shows how much he values Fang Jun.
"Although you and I are monarchs and ministers, we have deep feelings for each other. What's more, you will also become the prince-in-law soon. We are all one family. No need to be polite. Come and come. Come and take a seat." Li Chengqian smiled brightly and actually stood up to get intimate. He took Fang Jun's hand and pulled him to sit next to him...
Fang Jun was shocked. As soon as he sat down, he asked, "What does your highness mean by this?"
Li Chengqian was stunned when he asked: "You don't know yet?"
"What does Wei Chen know?" Fang Jun was confused.
"My father has already made arrangements with the prime minister of the house, and we will marry Gao Yang for you after the Spring Festival. Why hasn't the prime minister explained to you yet?" Li Chengqian asked strangely.
Mother!
Fang Jun was immediately angry. As a party to the marriage, he had not received any news. The matter had already been settled?
But he calmed down in an instant. This is the Tang Dynasty. The parents ordered the matchmaker to agree. It was enough for Fang Xuanling to negotiate with His Majesty Li Er. It didn't matter whether Fang Juntong agreed. He only needed to do it when the time came. Just complete the mission as ordered.
What an evil old society...
Fang Jun was extremely depressed, because the joy that came from the new scissors disappeared instantly, and what followed was extreme worry.
Who dares to marry this stinky girl Gao Yang?
But I can't say this. Why don't I go and tell His Majesty Li Er: We don't dare to have your daughter. Just a few days after we get married, she will run out to steal a man, and it's not just an ordinary man, she's stealing from a monk...
How would His Majesty Li Er react?
Five horses cut into pieces are all light...
Mother! We have worked hard to earn merit and want to exchange merit for marriage, but why does His Majesty Li Er seem to be more and more optimistic about me? He still has to marry Gao Yang?
But you tactfully agreed to our request to break off the engagement, so the emperor can break his promise and break his promise?
But having said that, Li Er is the biggest in the world, and he just turned his back and refused to admit it. What can you do?
Fang Jun only felt that everything in front of him was glowing with green light. His life would be covered by this bright color. From now on, the blue sky and white clouds would all go away from him, and there would be no more life. other colors.
I'm so sorry...
Li Chengqian saw that Fang Jun was a little distracted, and his expression was very strange. How should I put it... like a funeral examination?
Uh, this is a bit much. Anyway, I look very unhappy.
"Why does Erlang look like this? Could it be that... he doesn't agree with this marriage?" Li Chengqian asked with concern.
"Haha..." Fang Jun didn't know what to say.
Li Chengqian frowned: "Although you and I have a close friendship, I still have to talk about you. Not to mention that this is the imperial father's order. There is no way to recover from the opening of the mouth. Just talk about Gao Yang, a girl with beautiful appearance, talent and intelligence. , is a rare couple! Erlang, just be satisfied!”
"Haha..." Fang Jun twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered.
Couple? Contented?
I am content with your sister...
Do I want to tell you, buddy, that this stinky girl will not only cuckold me in the future, but will even cause me to have my head mutilated?
There is no way to talk about this topic anyway. If we continue to talk about it, it will be full of tears...
"Your Highness has summoned you today. What's the important thing?" He picked up the wine bottle, poured himself a glass, and drank it all in one gulp. Tsk, tsk, the taste of this so-called royal wine is out of this world. It’s not as good as our own grape wine, and it’s a bit bitter...
Seeing Fang Jun change the topic, Li Chengqian also talked about business.
"It is said that Erlang secretly sold a batch of obsolete ordnance stored at Fangjiawan Pier to enemy countries at low prices?" Li Chengqian said in a low voice.
"Where did your Highness hear this rumor?" Fang Jun was startled. He thought he had done a lot of secrets in that matter. Even the officials in the Ordnance Supervision did not know the details. They just thought that it was A batch of ordnance has been transported to Fangjia Iron Factory for destruction and remanufacturing.
How could Li Chengqian know this?
Fang Jun immediately eliminated the suspicion of His Majesty Li Er, because if His Majesty Li Er mentioned this matter to Li Chengqian, it would be impossible for him to use the words "sell to the enemy at a low price" to deal with the batch of ordnance himself, but with Li Chengqian His Majesty approved it!
Li Chengqian said with some worry: "Don't worry about how I know it, you just need to know that since I know it, it means that others know it!"
This is a bit confusing, but Fang Jun understands it.
After thinking rapidly for a while, Fang Jun figured out the key and asked in a deep voice: "Is it Changsun Chong?"
The only people who knew about that incident, besides myself and His Majesty Li Er, were the executors of the incident—the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.
Liu Rengui and Duan Zan will not betray themselves easily, because they do not know the exact whereabouts of these ordnance. Once they tell this, it will definitely cause great danger to Fang Jun. Due to their friendship, even if someone asked, these two people would not tell.
Fang Jun has this confidence in the character of Liu Rengui and Duan Zan, as well as the friendship between the three.
So, there is only one person who can infer that this batch of ordnance is shipped to other countries and wants to use it to attack himself...
Changsun Chong!
Mother!
You little pretty boy, not only did you steal the Shenji Camp from your buddy, but you also want to kill everyone?
He slammed the table angrily: "Chang Sun Chong, I'm not done with you!" (End of Chapter)
