Chapter 721 The pillar of the country?
Jiangnan battle report!
Fang Xuanling's heart tightened slightly, and she sat upright, her hands under her sleeves tightly clenched, and there was faint sweat oozing out of her palms. Many times, Fang Xuanling herself didn't know whether she wanted to get information from Jiang Nan. There was no letter from Jiangnan, and Fang Xuanling couldn't sleep because of it. He wished he could fly to Jiangnan with wings. Now that Jiangnan has written, he is hesitant, fearing that he will get the news that his son was killed in battle...
The tangle in my heart has never been greater than this in my life!
Cen Wenwen was beside him, and he felt sad when he saw this. Fang Xuanling was a humble person, seemingly gentle but very persistent. It was rare to see such moments of panic and loss of composure. It is indeed pitiful for a father to care about his blood.
"Send it up!" His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice.
He also took in Fang Xuanling's expression and felt a lot of guilt in his heart. The humerus beside me is none other than Fang Moudu and Changsun Wuji. Nowadays, Du Ruhui died prematurely. His eldest son is dull and talentless, unable to bear the big responsibility. His youngest son is unruly, immoral, boastful and rash. There is no successor to the famous ministers of the generation. The son of Changsun Wuji, a wolf-hearted son, is now living in the world after failing to succeed in his rebellion, with no home to return to; Fang Xuanling's son, Tian Zongzhi, had a chance to become the mainstay of the empire, but due to bad luck, he is trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, and his life is precarious...

His Majesty Li Er even thought, is it possible that all of my ministers are full of ingenuity and the strength of the country, but they are unable to continue the glory of their family?
In less than a moment, Shu Zuo hurried forward, his feet tapping on the floor, and came to His Majesty Li Er. He presented the battle report with red feathers in his hands.
There was no servant waiting in the political hall, so His Majesty Li Er took it with his own hands.
Shu Zuo bowed and exited.
Open the seal and take out the letter paper.
Fang Xuanling kept staring at His Majesty Li Er's hand. When his eyes touched a letter stained with brown blood, his heart suddenly jumped and his pupils shrank.
Could it be... another blood letter?
His Majesty Li Er shook his hand slightly and unfolded the letter.
"I am grateful for God's grace and always walk on thin ice. Your Majesty has the intention to sweep the world, envelop the universe, encompass the four seas, and conquer the eight wastelands. I am wary and brave, overcoming thorns and thorns, for fear of damaging your Majesty's ambition. However, if I don't agree with you, the mountains will become more and more rebellious. , trapped in a tight siege, the Jiangnan states stood still and watched the corruption. How could I share the same thoughts with the corruption and ignore myself? Although we have the power of encirclement, we can't bear the chaos of the people, destroying our country, and bringing harm to our people! If you want to benefit the country, why should you avoid it for the sake of misfortune? Thousands of people are hanging upside down! They will be heroes in life, but they will be heroes in death. I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross the river!"
I, Fang Jun, have the ability to break out, but the Jiangnan states sit idly by and let Shanyue wreak havoc on the Xuanrun states, but I cannot bear the suffering of the people. Therefore, we should lead our talented men to kill all the bandits and rebellious people to save the people of Jiangnan!
The enemy is several times greater than mine, and I know I will die, but I am willing to imitate the overlord Xiang Yu, and would rather fight to the death than sit back and watch the chaos raging in the south of the Yangtze River!
His Majesty Li Er held the letter with his fingers. A thin page weighed more than a thousand pounds!
Your Majesty has the intention to sweep the world, lift up the universe, encompass the four seas, and conquer the eight wastelands... This statement comes from "On the Passage of Qin" by Jia Yi, the Taifu of the Western Han Dynasty, and it just expresses the ambition of His Majesty Li Er!
The country is destined to live and die by pursuing profit, so why should we avoid it due to misfortunes and blessings?
These two sentences have never been found in classics. I think they were said by Fang Jun. However, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Guozichan was slandered and once said: "If you want to benefit the country, you must live and die for it." This must be the origin of this sentence. In articles, for words that are composed of two words with opposite meanings, often only one of them has the real meaning. The key and real meaning of the word "life and death" in these two lines of poems is "death". The word "生" is only used to form a compound word with partial meaning and is just a foil.
It vividly expresses the feelings of being upright and magnanimous, regardless of life and death!
And the poem at the end of the memorial gave His Majesty Li Er an excitement that ignited the blood all over his body!
You should be a hero in life, and you should be a hero in death.
I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong!
What kind of pride is this?
What kind of tragedy is this?
What kind of feeling is this?
How could we write such a heroic and domineering poem if we didn't have great ambition and the courage to cleanse the universe?
"Choke!"
His Majesty Li Er's face turned red. He stood up and drew his sword. He cut off both ends of the table in front of him with a single blow of his sword. He gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious expression, "Jiangnan porpoises and dogs have missed my pillar! If Fang Jun really kills Niu Zhuji, I swear here that I will sweep the south of the Yangtze River with blood to protect the heroic spirit of my loyal ministers!”
Fang Jun's poem completely activated the domineering factor in His Majesty Li Er's heart!
At this moment, His Majesty Li Er's blood is boiling and he is heartbroken. Go to hell with all the plans for the Eastern Expedition and the overall situation! I am such a loyal minister, but I was framed to death by you and other dogs. If I don't eradicate them all, how can I get rid of the hatred in my heart?
He drew his sword and cut off the criminals, which frightened several ministers into panic and quickly stood up.
Maybe... Fang Jun is dead?
Fang Xuanling's old face turned pale, and he trembled all over. He swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty..."
But his eyes were fixed on the "blood letter" on the collapsed desk...
Seeing Fang Xuanling's expression, His Majesty Li Er felt a pain in his heart, and quickly said with relief: "The matter is not over yet..." At this point, his tone stopped.
Haven't you reached the point of despair?
Even the final book has been written down...
Not knowing how to comfort this loyal minister who lost his son, His Majesty Li Er leaned over and picked up the "blood book" and handed it to Fang Xuanling with both hands.
Hands...
What kind of gesture is this?
Changsun Wuji and Cen Wenwen stared at each other at the same time.
Changsun Wuji was filled with jealousy and resentment. His son's failure to rebel was like a lost dog, which gradually created a gap between himself and the emperor, who had always been close to him. Although his son died in battle, he was treated with almost "respect" by the emperor!
They are also the best among the second generation of meritorious deeds. Why is there such a huge gap and such a huge difference in status?
Cen Wenwen looked at Fang Xuanling enviously.
It is indeed sad to lose a son in old age, and to send a white-haired person to a black-haired one, but at least there are still several sons... This is not a joke, let alone a ridicule. If given the choice, Cen Wenwen would rather give up one of his sons. , in exchange for the emperor's honor of "holding the book with both hands" that transcends interests!
Feeling sad in his heart, Cen Wenwen looked at the trembling Fang Xuanling with a "blood letter" with some curiosity, wondering if Fang Jun was dead or not? A "blood letter" doesn't mean anything. A "blood letter" was delivered two days ago. Who knows if there will be another one in the future...
Fang Xuanling took the "blood book" and read it silently, with two lines of old tears flowing down her face.
pride!
Sad!
Two completely different feelings welled up in my heart, turning into rolling tears...
Changsun Wuji glanced out of the corner of his eyes, feeling a little anxious in his heart. He wanted to confirm whether Fang Jun was really dead, but he couldn't ask directly, let alone grab the "blood book" from Fang Xuanling's hand to see what happened.
His Majesty Li Er had vented his excitement, and his face remained gloomy.
After both Changsun Wuji and Cen Wenwen had read the "blood letter", they spoke: "Fang Jungong is loyal to the country and is the pillar of the country. He immediately sent a letter to the states in the south of the Yangtze River, with instructions in his eyes, ordering them to rush to Niu as soon as possible. Zhuji rescue! Recent public opinion in Chang'an The situation is fierce, and the people are all complaining about Fang Jun. The two counties of Chang'an and Wannian must be on guard to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble. Okay, I will now step back and let Fang Aiqing stay for a while while I return. Something to say.”
Changsun Wuji and Cen Wenwen accepted the order and retreated. The emperor must have wanted to comfort Fang Xuanling.
After the two of them had retreated, Fang Xuanling asked solemnly: "I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?"
In just a moment, Fang Xuanling's back slumped slightly, his expression was sad, as if he had aged several years out of thin air, and all his former charm was gone.
His Majesty Li Er was also grieved in his heart and pondered for a long time. Although he had conjectures in his heart, he could not express them directly. After all, no matter what, Fang Jun is a brave and loyal person. He has already proved it through the previous "not afraid of being shattered into pieces" and this time "death is also a ghost". If he raises doubts...
It is inevitable to be unfair to Fang Xuanling.
But the suspicion in my heart became more and more intense, and I almost couldn't express it, so I was in a dilemma, and my expression was very tangled.
Although Fang Xuanling felt sad in her heart, she also saw something strange in His Majesty Li Er's expression, and wondered: "Your Majesty has something to say, why don't you just say it?"
His Majesty Li Er thought the same thing. The monarch and his ministers have had a deep friendship with each other for decades, so why should they hide it?
After pondering for a while, he said: "Xuan Ling, don't blame me for being suspicious. I have no doubt about Fang Jun's loyalty. But in my opinion, Fang Jun is not in much danger at the moment..."
In an instant, Fang Xuanling almost pointed at the emperor's nose and cursed him! Second update, still working hard on coding, please vote for me!
