Chapter 991 The ambition of a gatekeeper
He wiped a handful of mud splashed on his face, and his pretty face looked like a little cat. He turned over and jumped up, pointing at the knight who had already left the scene and yelling: "You wait for me, sooner or later there will be a fight." One day, I asked you to look at me differently and to greet me respectfully. I want you to know that I am not just an ant-like gatekeeper. My name is Wang Xuance! Who the hell is hitting me?"
< br>
Wang Xuance covered his head, looked down and saw that half of the buns on the ground still had teeth marks, turned around and glared at the old soldier: "Why did you hit me?"
The old pawn didn't care whether the grass nest under his butt would get cold or not. He jumped on his feet and yelled: "Hit you? Do you know that I am trying to save you? Who is Fang Jun? How dare you punch Qi Wangyou?" , the horse trampled the Prince of Han's palace, and was able to beat a lieutenant general on the street to the point where even my mother wouldn't recognize her when she got home. If you come out, you can eradicate a noble clan in Jiangdong that has been here for generations. How dare you shout at him? Who the hell do you think you are? If this word reaches Fang Er's ears, believe it or not, he will arrive tonight. Your family chopped up the bird in your crotch and fed it to the dog?”
Wang Xuance was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had just scolded Fang Erlang, the number one dude in Guanzhong, who was the most powerful and bloody man in Jiangnan!
Mother!
The sound we scolded just now was quite loud. Wouldn't Bang Chui hear it?
Wang Xuance shrank his neck, quickly smiled and went back to the base of the wall to apologize to the old soldier, nodding and bowing. Although he usually doesn't deal with him, it is very rare for him to be able to remind himself in words like this. This is an old guy with good character and worth making friends with.
Sitting at the foot of the city wall, saying good things, but my thoughts are wandering to nowhere...
I was angry that Fang Er didn't take my life seriously, but why should Fang Er take my own life seriously?
Fang Er is not even older than me, but look at what he did. Regardless of how arrogant and domineering he was in the Tang Dynasty, he was still domineering in other countries. Lin Yiguo had to obediently give up the two ports to him permanently. Fang Er, the elephant soldiers of the Zhenla Kingdom are invincible in the southeast area. Fang Er will be killed with just one drop of his sword!
To show off your power in foreign lands and shock other countries, that is your real ability!
And what are you doing now?
Guarding the city gate, fighting against the old soldier Youzi, trying every means to exploit the merchants, nodding and bowing to the powerful, not knowing where his future life will be, just muddle along...
Fang Er is the benchmark, that is the direction of my efforts!
So what if his family background is good?
The fierce battle against Niuzhuji, the intimidation of Huating Town, and the military attack on Linyi State were all based on his true ability, and he was not the son-in-law of an emperor or the son of a prime minister! These things may be useful in the Tang Dynasty. Who knows who you are outside the Tang Dynasty?
I just want to convince those foreign countries with real swords and guns, and make them kneel down and call me daddy!
This is what a man should do!

How did Fang Jun know that his momentary arrogance and domineering behavior would actually stimulate the sensitive and enterprising heart of a humble gatekeeper?
He was shivering with cold on the horse. When he got off the horse at Zhuquemen, his whole face was frozen. His nose was dripping with mucus. He wiped it with the sleeve of his official robe, and it started to flow out again soon...
Did Dad take the wrong medicine?
Fang Jun was filled with resentment.
As a result, his "stunning" appearance on horseback riding to court in the early morning of winter suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.
It was not yet time to go to court, and the Suzaku Gate had not yet been opened. There were many officials waiting in front of the door, and they gathered in groups and talked nonsense. Officials with lower status sent away their servants, carriages and horses early and stood chatting in front of the palace gate, while the old guys who were granted titles and ministers stayed in the warm carriages and waited until the palace gate opened before sending the carriages and horses away. .
When Fang Jun appeared, almost everyone was talking about him...
"Hey, Fang Erlang is really unconventional. You rode a horse to go to court on this cold day. Isn't it cold?"
Someone made a sarcastic comment.
Fang Jun followed the reputation and saw that it was Liu Lei.
This old thing...
He said with a smile: "I just came back from the south. When I was in the south, we fought every day. Now that I have met in Guanzhong, I am not used to it. I feel uncomfortable if I don't fight anyone for a day. I have to take advantage of the opportunity to come out and breathe early in the morning." Let’s get some fresh air and suppress the irritable emotions in my heart. Why, Liu Yushi cares so much about someone, why don’t we find a quiet place to have a heart-to-heart talk?”
All the officials were speechless.
Dare to be so arrogant at the gate of Taiji Palace, looking at the Tang Dynasty, this is probably the only one. And is it really appropriate to threaten a court official in such a simple way? We still have a heart-to-heart talk, but don’t have to go home and prepare for the funeral after having a heart-to-heart talk...
Liu Lei's eyelids jumped with anger, but he didn't dare to say harsh words to Fang Jun. This guy is a donkey. The more stubborn you are with him, the more he will never end with you. He is not afraid of anything. Get it done.
Liu Lei regretted taunting him and turned her head decisively.
But in the eyes of others, Liu Lei was so frightened by Fang Jun that he backed away...
Many officials who were dissatisfied with the house inspection wanted to come forward and make a few sarcastic remarks, so as to show their presence in front of a group of big bosses, and let the big bosses see my upright style that is not afraid of bravery, and maybe Jing Er By that time, he would be able to catch the eye of the big boss and be reused.
But looking at Liu Lei's cowardly appearance, everyone backed down.
It is certainly a good thing to show your presence, but if you show your presence in a way that you are crushed by Fang Jun, that would be a complete tragedy, which is what a wise man would not do...
Even the officials who had always been good friends with Fang Xuanling secretly shook their heads. The mallet seemed to have a violent nature and was incompatible with everyone. No one was allowed to enter within ten feet of him, and everyone stayed away.
Fang Jun didn't take it seriously and even laughed in his heart.
We are all five or six with me now, right? Even though you, the spokespersons of aristocratic families, show your arrogance, let’s see how many of you will still be sitting in your current position in ten years, or even stay in the court. You are considered great!
Aristocratic families developed in a special social environment. When the king is weak and the ministers are strong, this is the soil for their survival. Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is becoming increasingly prosperous and prosperous. In the hands of His Majesty Li Er and his successors, the monarchy will reach a peak that has never been seen since Qin Shihuang! The survival style of the aristocratic families and the increasingly centralized monarchy will inevitably produce fierce conflicts, which will inevitably end with one party's concession or even defeat.
History has proven that it is the imperial power that wins, and the families that lose.
The price of failure is that the aristocratic family system that has flourished for hundreds of years has been completely swept into the garbage heap of history. It has never recovered from its past glory...
My brother comes from the later generations. He has been on the winning side early and is already in an invincible position. Why do you fight with me?
Fang Jun stood proudly and looked around. The officials around him seemed to be nothing more than clowns. How could fireflies dare to compete with the bright moon?
"Erlang, come over and have a chat."
A call interrupted Fang Jun's "leaving the world and being independent". The guy looked back, took three steps at a time and ran towards a luxury carriage on the left, blew his nose, and then wrapped himself tightly He threw his coat to the servant and quickly got into the carriage.
The interior of the car is luxuriously decorated with gold and jade, and a precious Persian carpet is spread on the floor. In the middle of the car is a carved lacquer table with several plates of snacks and a pot of hot tea. Sandalwood was burning in the corner, and the fragrance was fragrant.
Two people were sitting on either side of the table. One was a tall man with a square face typical of men of the Li family, and the other was skinny but energetic. They were none other than Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian County, and Lu Dongzan, Prime Minister of Tubo.
Fang Jungong cupped his hands as a gift, looked at Li Xiaogong and complained: "Your Majesty is not particular. I am almost freezing to death here. Why didn't you say hello earlier and let me come over to warm you up?"
Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "I saw Erlang proudly standing upright and suppressing a group of little monsters until his arrogance was completely shattered. He was really majestic and upright, how dare he interrupt rashly?"
< br>
Fang Jun raised his forehead and said: "Come on, you just see the joke, why do you need to be so sarcastic about the official?"
Li Xiaogong laughed.
Lu Dongzan picked up a white porcelain bottle on the counter, filled an empty cup with transparent and slightly turbid wine, and offered it to Fang Jun with both hands. An old face with folds and grooves like a chrysanthemum bloomed with a joyful smile: " Mr. Hou, this is the highland barley wine brewed according to your secret recipe. Please taste it."
