Chapter 614 Concession
Fang Jun remained silent and did not interrupt.
Although he was also involved in this incident and was even impeached by many imperial censors, in the final analysis, this was a confrontation between the emperor and the Jiangnan nobles. He could defend himself and resist, but how to deal with it in the end must be done. It is arbitrary and the emperor makes his own decision.
But even if he stood aside without saying a word, Fang Jun felt secretly happy...
Yes, I can give you a step down in order to relieve the emperor's anger. But since you dare to question me, I must slap you in the face!
If you don’t have experience, you can’t write about your state of mind or your feelings?
If you haven’t been to Dongting Lake, you can’t write a poem about Dongting Lake?
What a joke!
Then wouldn’t the original Tang poetry and Song lyrics have been memorized in vain?
His Majesty Li Er remained silent, and the hall fell into silence.
No one dared to speak.
Xie Chengjie's heart was in his throat, fearing that the emperor would be so angry that he would sentence the Xie family to death. The Xie family does have a strong influence in Jiangnan, but the emperor in front of him is not a vegetarian. The lessons learned from the Zheng family in Laiyang are still there. Who dares to say that His Majesty Li Er's knife is not good?
The reason why he dared to express resistance and resistance to His Majesty Li Er's move to reach the south of the Yangtze River was simply because he understood that His Majesty Li Er was now focusing on the Eastern Expedition and would not easily cause major turmoil within the empire.
Otherwise, if the Xie family still wants it, let alone the Xiao family, how dare you dare to go against His Majesty Li Er?
But now, Xie Chengjie is very afraid that His Majesty Li Er will lose his mind in anger and take action to clean up the Jiangnan nobles regardless. If so, his Xie family will definitely bear the brunt, and the result can only be catastrophe...
Wang Xue'an's eyes were distracted and his face was ashen.
This time when Fang Jun plagiarized things, Wang Xue'an was not trying to make a name for himself, but wanted to use the power of the Xie family to revitalize the Wang family. In his heart, the prosperity and glory of his family trumps everything else. For this reason, he would give up half of his life's reputation to frame a young man who is not as good as a weakling but is amazingly talented.
In fact, if he could truly revive the Wang family, he would risk his own life without hesitation!
But the current situation is no longer just about whether his life can be saved. The good reputation accumulated by the Wang family for hundreds of years and the little remaining foundation of the Wang family have been ruined by him.
Regardless of whether His Majesty the Emperor pursues the case, Wang Xue'an has become the Wang family's biggest sinner...
Xiao Yu also secretly sweated.
Although it has been stated that the Jiangnan nobles will give up a lot of interests and obey the emperor's orders from now on, Xiao Yu is not sure whether he can avert the emperor's anger.
Who else knows better than Xiao Yu what it looks like when the emperor in front of him becomes ruthless?
In the beginning, it was precisely because of his advice that His Majesty Li Er brazenly launched the Xuanwumen Revolution when he was absolutely weak, killing his brothers and brothers, forcing his father to abdicate, and in one fell swoop, he established the country and ascended the throne as a great treasure!
As long as the Jiangnan nobles are ruthless, what does it matter?
Xu Jingzong didn't even dare to take a breath.
He could see that his majesty and the prince were already dissatisfied with Fang Jun, who had caused trouble for him repeatedly today. If he dared to get involved without a wink, his majesty would be furious, and he might be able to give him a warning. , even severe punishment!
Although I have received a lot of generous gifts from the Xie family, there is no need to involve myself...
Fortunately, Xie Chengjie was in panic now, nervously waiting for Fang Jun's reaction, and had no time to talk to Xu Jingzong, otherwise he would have scolded this bastard who took money but did nothing! You were so generous when receiving gifts, but now you can't even say a nice word?
There was silence in the lobby for a long time.
The students from Chongxian Hall who were watching the excitement at the door also felt the tense atmosphere. They were all children from official families and had great intuition about politics. They all secretly felt that something was wrong. They looked at each other and slipped away quietly without making a sound. come out.
The burly guard known as "Yuchi Dasha" just looked at him coldly without saying a word.
When everyone was suffocated by the tense atmosphere, His Majesty Li Er finally spoke.
He was expressionless and just nodded to Xiao Yu: "The chess game we just played in the palace has not been finished yet. The Duke of Song Dynasty will be free another day. Come to the palace and let's finish it. I will definitely win this game. Duke Song Don’t cheat!”
After saying that, he stood up and strode away without even looking at Xie Chengjie and Wang Xue'an.
The accompanying chamberlain quickly carefully packed away the papers on the floor and followed. The guards also evacuated and were gone in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Yu slowly exhaled.
The emperor's implication is that he forgives what happened before today, but he must keep his promise, otherwise the emperor will definitely ruthlessly punish the Jiangnan nobles without hesitation!
Xiao Yu looked at Fang Jun again.
It can be seen that the emperor's eastward expedition was inevitable and he was deeply obsessed with pursuing the achievements of "one emperor through the ages". Therefore, it can also be seen that the young man in front of him in the future will definitely become the emperor's confidant and be reused.
Otherwise, how can the Canghai Road, which is related to the Eastern Expedition Base Camp, be handed over to Fang Jun with peace of mind?
After thinking about it in his heart, Xiao Yu said a little apologetically: "What happened today is really stupid. I listened to Wang Xue'an's words and made my nephew suffer injustice. I almost suffered an unjust injustice. I feel guilty. I hope my nephew will not be jealous." It’s better to be old.”
Xiao Yu, the dignified Duke of the Song Dynasty, had experienced the Three Kingdoms, had profound qualifications, and was a leader of the Qing Dynasty. It was really amazing that he could relax and apologize to Fang Jun in person.
Xu Jingzong was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. His triangular eyes turned around, and he figured out Xiao Yu's intention.
Obviously, once Fang Jun takes office in Canghaidao, he will be like a rising star in officialdom. As long as he makes no mistakes, almost no one can stop his progress. When His Majesty is buried and the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, he will be the most favored in the world and become the pillar of the empire, which no one can shake!
Now is the time when Fang Jun is in his prime. If we don't make friends now, why don't we wait for him to gain power and then try to win over him and flatter him?
Xu Jingzong was extremely talented and capable, but he was too selfish, stingy and greedy for profit. For things that are good for him, even if he throws his face on the ground and rubs it, he will not hesitate at all!
Dangzhi said with a look of admiration and great respect: "The ancients said that Cao Zijian was eight times more talented. In my opinion, Erlang's amazing talent is even worse than that of Cao Zijian. How many of Cao Zijian's poems have been handed down? Where is Erlang's poem? They are all stunning masterpieces that have been refined over time. If you call Erlang the "Sage of Poetry", no one in the world will be dissatisfied. At the very least, someone will be so impressed that he wishes he could become Erlang's teacher and learn a little bit about the magic of poetry... ”
Fang Jun almost vomited...
The history books say that Xu Jingzong has no bottom line, which is really not nonsense.
As an eighteenth-year bachelor of the Prince of Qin's Palace, the top literati in the Tang Dynasty, with qualifications that surpass 90% of the civil servants, is it really okay for you to flatter me like this now?
Fang Jun's face twitched. Facing Xu Jingzong, who was extremely thick-skinned and had no limit to his blackness, he could only hold back a sentence: "Thank you, thank you..."
Li Chengqian was also disgusted by Xu Jingzong, wondering how could such a shameless person appear in the court?
Although officials in the Tang Dynasty could not eliminate corruption, and they could not all be honorable men, at the very least they seemed to be honest and upright. A shameless person like Xu Jingzong was simply an anomaly!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was too lazy to look at Xu Jingzong's flattering face. He stood up and bowed slightly to Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song Dynasty: "The Duke will sit here for a while, and I would like to ask Fang Erlang to go to the East Palace to talk about poetry."< br>
Xiao Yu also stood up and returned the courtesy: "I also want to return home."
Then he looked at Fang Jun and said with a smile: "Since His Highness has invited me, I will not talk to Erlang anymore. When I have free time another day, I will send someone to my house to invite you, and I will also tell you about the art of poetry." , perhaps, the old and old tree can also bloom into spring, and write a masterpiece, let’s talk about it!”
Fang Jun smiled and said: "If the Duke invites you, I will naturally be there at your request."
I cursed secretly in my heart that this old boy is so petty.
Understand that this sentence is to counter Fang Jun's question "What works do you have"...
Xiao Yu chuckled, and the smile on his face was kinder than when he saw his grandson...
But as soon as he turned his face, the smile immediately turned as cold as ice: "Isn't it enough to be embarrassed? Leave with me quickly!"
Having said that, walk out of the lobby of Chongxian Hall first.
Xie Chengjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, wiped the cold sweat on his face, and looked at Wang Xue'an beside him... (End of Chapter)
