Chapter 697: My benefactor!
While Changsun Chong was brewing conspiracies in the cold and damp mountains and old forests, Fang Jun was sitting in the magnificent palace of Wu King Li Ke, enjoying wine and food, chatting and laughing...
It can be seen that Li Ke has a strong ability to adapt. After he left Chang'an and came to Yangzhou, he was still the handsome young man in troubled times. He was as handsome as ever and made Fang Jun jealous...probably because of the feeling deep down in his heart that he shouldn't have. Some obsessions must have completely dissipated. Today, Li Ke's smile is getting brighter and brighter. It seems that even the teeth exposed when he smiles exude a cheerful charm.
Fang Jun drank a glass of wine and sighed: "People are in high spirits during happy events. Seeing that His Highness looks so free and easy, I guess this Yangzhou girl has caused a lot of harm, right?"
"Poof"
Quan Wanji, who was accompanying the drinker at the side, spat out the drink he had just taken into his mouth, glared at Fang Jun and said, "Master Marquis, be careful what you say! Your Highness is a dignified nobleman of the emperor. He enfeoffed Wuyue and was in charge of Yangzhou, and he was guarding the city on behalf of the emperor. Mu Sifang represents the majesty of the emperor! It is very inappropriate for Mr. Hou to talk nonsense like this!”
Fang Jun squinted at Quan Wanji, who had a gray beard, and said with a smile: "Old Quan, I am your benefactor. Do you know it? They say you are upright, upright, and upright. This is how you treat your benefactor." ”
If the original historical trajectory was followed, Quan Wanji should have been dismissed from his post by Li Ke Changshi by His Majesty Li Er at this time, and then assigned to the lawless guy Li You, the King of Qi, who was eventually shot to death by random arrows arranged by Li You...
Now history has been deflected because of Fang Jun.
Li You got the support of Fang Jun, and he had a large supply of glass and other in-demand commodities. He was prosperous in Qizhou. He had the power and money to live a comfortable life. He had no energy and acted like he did in the original history. His Majesty Li Er Naturally, he would not be so angry that he would appoint Chang Shi to discipline him again.
As for Li Ke, the incident of trampling on fertile farmland did not occur. His Majesty Li Er was still very satisfied with Quan Wanji's work results.
Therefore, Fang Jun's statement that he was Quan Wanji's savior was not nonsense.
It’s just that the truth of the matter can never be proven...
Hearing Fang Jun's nonsense, Quan Wanji was so angry that his beard stood up and said angrily: "I have always heard of Fang Erlang's reputation as a stick, and I once helped you tell which young man is not frivolous? But now I know that the people of Guanzhong are like this I have been tortured so much by you over the past few years, I am simply an arrogant child!”
Quan Wanji is the most upright and tough person. He doesn't despise the incompetent, nor does he laugh at the weak, but he can't stand the lack of rules! In his opinion, the king is the guide for his subjects, the father is the guide for his son, and the husband is the guide for his wife. The world must be bound and restricted by rules before it can operate freely. God knows this!
Fang Jun talks nonsense as a child and behaves wildly in front of His Highness. He is simply not a son of a man!
After hearing Quan Wanji's lesson, Fang Jun immediately retorted: "Why, Lao Quan, you don't believe what I say? Come on, come on, I will analyze it for you, and you will know that what I said is true!"
Holding a pot in one hand and a cup in the other, he stood up and came to sit cross-legged next to Quan Wanji.
He doesn't hate Quan Wanji, everyone has their own character. But if you insist on forcing your own personality on others, this is your fault. To be honest, if it weren't for Quan Wanji's hard work, Qi Wang Li You could really kill him in anger, and finally had to grit his teeth and raise a flag of rebellion against his father?
He felt that Quan Wanji should be taught a lesson today.
How could anyone dare to be so dissolute in front of Quan Wanji? Old Quan's face turned blue and white, and his nose was almost crooked with anger...
Li Ke smiled bitterly and said: "Don't make trouble, Erlang. Teacher Quan has a steady temperament, so you should respect him more."
Fang Jun rolled his eyes: "Respect is from the heart, not in form. Quan Changshi, do you think so?"
Quan Wanji snorted angrily and shut up.
say what?
Do you think Fang Jun is right?
Even though this is true... I won't even say that I'll kill him!
Fang Jun said to Li Ke: "Look, Chief Quan Shi acquiesced."
Quan Wanji is so angry! Did your eye acquiesce when it saw me?
Fang Jun ignored his displeasure, poured wine for him, and said: "Quan Changshi, why did your Majesty appoint you to Prince Wu's Mansion to serve as Chang Shi? The knowledge of Chang'an City is better than yours, and your character is better than yours." There are many, so why did they choose you?”
Quan Wanji snorted, his old face full of pride: "That's because I am upright and prudent and will never follow the crowd!"
Fang Jun slapped his thigh: "Look! That's it! So Quan Changshi, think about it, now His Highness King Wu behaves well and governs Yangzhou in an orderly manner, but King Li You of Qi is doing random things in Qizhou and bullying men and women. What do you think, Your Majesty? Will seeing your performance in Yangzhou be so good that I might as well transfer you to Qizhou to train that fellow Qi Wang Li You?”
Quan Wanji's old face was stunned: "This..."
It's really possible!
Why does he have the authority to gain the trust of His Majesty? Just as Fang Jun said, your majesty is not willing to accept anyone who is more capable than yourself and has better character than yourself. Isn't it because you are upright and can't be disciplined severely because of your noble status as a prince?
If he were really transferred to Qizhou to train that little devil Li You...
Quan Wanji shivered with excitement all over.
Although Li Ke is arrogant, he understands the rules. Although he sometimes makes arrogant and unruly mistakes, as long as he reprimands him forcefully afterwards, Li Ke can often realize his mistakes and correct them.
But that boy Li You was famous for being a "bad guy" and the most disobedient to discipline. If he went to Qizhou, he would suffer a lot!
But what does this have to do with Fang Jun? How did he become his savior?
Fang Jun was good at tempting: "That boy Li You is the most unruly and cruel. He went to Qizhou according to your temper. He will take care of this and that. If he doesn't listen, he will complain to His Majesty. Do you think Li You will become angry from shame?" Kill you with one knife? ”
Quan Wanji trembled subconsciously and glared: "He dares!"
But he felt guilty for a while in his heart. He had also heard about the temperament of that boy Li You. He had no boundaries when it came to mixing up. He would never dare to do anything to him openly, but if he arranged a few killers in private, let him go. It's entirely possible to shoot a cold arrow, or add some poison to your own food... it's entirely possible!
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even if the emperor has any suspicions, he will not be able to find any evidence!
Quan Wanji didn't know what to say.
Fang Jun continued: "But, I have arranged a lot of things for that boy Li You, so that boy is now at ease and will not cause trouble. His Majesty will naturally not transfer you to Qizhou. You said Say, does this count as me saving your life?”
Li Ke touched his forehead with his hand, looking helpless.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely spit in Fang Jun’s face! How dare you say that you are my benefactor because you are talking to yourself? However, Quan Wanji’s biggest advantage is his integrity, and his biggest disadvantage is that he doesn’t know how to adapt, and he always goes to the dark side and is stubborn...
With such a series of cause and effect, Quan Wanji found that what Fang Jun said was indeed true.
But if you call Fang Jun a benefactor...
Quan Wanji couldn't open his mouth.
Seeing Quan Wanji's old face turned into chrysanthemums, Li Ke felt really sorry. He grabbed Fang Jun and said, "Stop talking nonsense here and follow me into the back house. How many of you are there?" All the sisters-in-law want to meet you.”
Fang Jun wanted to say a few words to Quan Wanji, but was pulled away by Li Ke. Fang Jun is Princess Gaoyang's consort, so he is not considered an outsider. He can enter and exit the palace's inner palace.
Quan Wanji was left alone with a troubled face, thinking about it, not knowing how to deal with it, so he could only drink glass after glass.
In the back house of Prince Wu's Mansion, Fang Jun was shocked when he saw Prince Wu's concubine Yang.
Yang, who used to be dignified, virtuous and beautiful in the city of Chang'an, was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his breath was like a gossamer. His appearance was haggard, skinny and skinny, and he had long lost his former grace.
Fang Jun greeted Li Ke first, and then asked Li Ke urgently: "What disease has the princess contracted? Has the imperial doctor been called from Chang'an for diagnosis and treatment?"
Li Ke was depressed for a while, and then sighed: "I am extremely ill, and the medicine is no longer effective. I asked you to come in today, just to see you for the last time."
Fang Jun's heart sank.
In the past, when I was in Chang'an, I felt like I was at home when I went in and out of Li Ke's mansion, and I was very familiar with this gentle and virtuous princess. But I never thought that we had to say goodbye to Chang'an and meet again today, which has separated the yin and yang...
The two stood there for a long time, silent.
First update! Can I keep the ticket?
