Chapter 1193 The Emperor’s Promise
His Majesty Li Er solemnly promised.
Fang Xuanling's heart trembled, and she quickly stood up, bowed her hands to the ground, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty's love will never be forgotten by the Fang family! But there is still someone who teaches the Fang family, and he vows to live and die with the Tang Dynasty! If you violate it, This oath will be punished by heaven and earth, and I will destroy my children and grandchildren.”
His mood was agitated and his blood was boiling!
The Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui Dynasty system, and the titles were divided into king, duke, marquis, uncle, son and male. Duke is a title one level lower than king. King is divided into prince and county prince, and duke is divided into country prince, county prince and county prince. The Duke of the State is only one level lower than the Duke of the County, and the Duke of the County is one level lower than the Duke of the State. However, the title of the King is only enfeoffed within the royal family and does not involve foreign ministers.
The Duke of the State is almost the highest title granted to foreign ministers. Many heroes in the early Tang Dynasty, such as Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing in the early Tang Dynasty, and the twenty-four heroes of Linyan Pavilion in the later period, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, etc. are all Dukes of the State.
But who are these people?
Either he is the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, or he is following His Majesty Li Er to usurp and conquer the world!
The more peaceful the world is, the harder it will be to obtain a title that represents military merit!
The title of Fang Xuanling, Duke of Liang, must be inherited by his eldest son Fang Yizhi. No matter how outstanding Fang Jun is and how much he has contributed to the empire and the emperor, the title of Duke does not belong to him...
Now the emperor has promised to grant Fang Jun the title of Duke in the future. What does that mean?
One door and two dukes!
Throughout the ages, there is no one more outstanding than this!
The Guanlong Group, the Jiangnan gentry, and the Shandong tycoons... are not as noble as the Fang family!
This is a kind of kindness like a mountain, and even more like the holy favor of heaven!
How can the Fang family repay this favor except for their descendants who will live and die with the Tang Dynasty, shed their last drop of blood for the Tang Dynasty, and fight for the Tang Dynasty until their last life?
Even if Fang Jun loses the opportunity to take the stage and rule the world... it's still worth it!
*****
Nothing is more important to His Majesty Li Er than Chun Wei.
The time for the "Three Divisions to Judge" is just in the near future. After this matter is settled, the imperial court will make every effort to deal with the Spring Examination. Moreover, when thousands of scholars gathered in the capital, there were many hidden dangers. It is the hobby of scholars to criticize current affairs. After reading a few books, they will think that they have the world in mind and dream of guiding the country. If there are those among these people who are ignorant of current affairs, doubtful, and have ulterior motives to incite public opinion and call for civil unrest, then it will be very bad.
As long as Fang Jun's case is tried quickly and the people who gathered under the high pressure of the court disperse, who can these scholars incite with their empty mouths?
The rebellion of scholars will not happen in ten years...
The atmosphere in the entire capital was unprecedentedly tense!
The eyes of the entire empire are on this majestic city. A spring palace represents whether a poor scholar can leap over the dragon gate. Furthermore, the impact of Fang Jun's case is too great...
The back house of the house.
Princess Gaoyang was wearing loose clothes, her pretty face was frosty, and she angrily threw her embroidery on the kang table next to her...
Her Royal Highness frowned and vented her resentment: "I don't know what my father is thinking. It's been so many days. Why haven't you issued an imperial edict to release your husband? Is it possible that you really have to pay for the life of that dead ghost Changsun Dan?" ! ”
Wu Meiniang on the side reminded: "Changsun Dan is your highness's cousin. Isn't it disrespectful to talk about such a dead guy?"
Princess Gao Yang raised her eyebrows and snorted: "What cousin, there is no good person in that family except the mother! Sister Changle is such a gentle and virtuous person. Is there any descendant of the aristocratic family in Chang'an City who did not force the family to Proposing marriage to the father? But the father trusted Zhao Guogong and thought of marrying Sister Changle to him. Changsun Chong... What happened? I don't know how much resentment the pretty boy gave to Sister Changle. Otherwise, why didn't Sister Changle give birth to an heir? Humph, that Changsun Dan deserved to die for actually daring to murder Lang Jun... If he hadn't died, I have no choice but to give him a white knife that goes in and a red knife that goes out..."
Wu Meiniang covered her lips and smiled softly.
She is more pregnant than Princess Gaoyang, her body looks more plump and plump, her crystal skin seems to be oozing with water, her lips are red and her teeth are white, her manner is enchanting, and she has the charm of a beautiful young woman.
She smiled secretly in her heart. His Highness seemed arrogant and domineering, but in fact, he learned all these white and red knives from Lang Jun. They were just for fun. She didn't even dare to kill a chicken...
Princess Gao Yang saw Wu Meiniang snickering, and she immediately became upset and shouted: "Why, you look down on me, don't you? Hum, if the eldest grandson Dan dares to appear in front of her, do you think I dare to kill him?"
"Sister Shu'er...please stop talking, okay? It's so scary!"
On the edge of the kang, Fang Xiuzhu was learning embroidery with Princess Jinyang and Princess Hengshan. Hearing Princess Gaoyang talk about Changsun Dan, Princess Jinyang shrank her neck and protested weakly.
Changsun Dan is already dead, but my sister still mentions it like this, which makes people feel the cool breeze on the back of their necks...
Princess Gao Yang snorted and said to herself: "What is there to be afraid of? Even if that damn ghost jumps out of the underworld, I dare to kill him again!"
Princess Jinyang rolled her eyes coquettishly, there was nothing she could do against this shrewd royal sister...
She lowered her head to get her embroidery, but found that it had been secretly replaced by Princess Hengshan. She was immediately dissatisfied and said: "Xiao Yao, you can just embroider it yourself, why did you steal mine?"
Princess Hengshan held the embroidery in her hand and hid it behind her back, her face slightly red: "How can you call it a steal? I didn't give mine to you, this is an exchange. Sister Sizi, you are so stingy!"
< br>
Princess Jinyang picked up the embroidery that Princess Hengshan threw in front of her and took a look. She suddenly became angry. She pointed at the embroidery with her jade-white fingers and said angrily: "Xiao Yao, are you stupid? Sister Xiuzhu is teaching us how to show off mandarin ducks. You Why did I embroider two fat ducks..."
Fang Xiuzhu had already laughed so hard at Princess Hengshan's poor embroidery skills that she couldn't stand up straight.
Princess Gaoyang looked at Princess Jinyang's hand, and she couldn't laugh or cry: "Xiao Yao really has no talent for embroidery, even if it is really two fat ducks, it is very ugly... It's a good thing that you were born in the emperor's family, if you are ordinary My daughter may not be able to get married even if she can do this embroidery. Who’s matchmaker would dare to help you?”
Wu Meiniang also suppressed her laughter. When she saw Princess Hengshan's face turned red, she quickly comforted her and said: "Your Highness Hengshan is still young. You have to slowly refine and refine these skills before you can improve them. Just learn them slowly. How can there be such a thing?" Serious? ”
Princess Hengshan's face was blood red, and she was quite angry with embarrassment. She shouted: "Is there any problem with embroidery? Embroidery is just a minor thing, character is the important thing! Hum, I can't embroider and I can't hinder others. Those greedy and stupid people are incompetent. Officials can still go to Beijing to take the exam. If those people become high-ranking officials, they will harm others!”
Princess Gaoyang's pretty face suddenly turned black...
Wu Meiniang was already holding her stomach and bending over with laughter...
Princess Jinyang couldn't help but laugh out loud. She turned around and saw that the veins on Princess Gaoyang's smooth forehead were already popping. She quickly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, but her beautiful eyes had already curved into crescents...
It's still a joke to talk about it.
Princess Gaoyang's mother was His Majesty Li Er's concubine. She died shortly after giving birth to Princess Gaoyang, and she had no relatives in the family. Just two days ago, an official who claimed to be the hometown of Princess Gaoyang's mother came to the capital and wanted to participate in the Spring Festival. However, he was not recommended by the local government and was not qualified to participate in the Spring Festival. Therefore, he wanted to get through Princess Gaoyang's door.
Princess Gaoyang had never seen her mother's hometown people for so long, so she was naturally deeply moved, so she wrote a letter and presented it to King Wu Li Ke, asking him to help find a way out. Li Ke has a very good relationship with Princess Gaoyang, and he has a relationship with Fang Jun, so he naturally agreed. It was naturally easy for the dignified King Wu to recommend an official to participate in the Spring Festival, but unfortunately it turned out to be a joke...
The official had just been qualified for the Spring Palace, and he was targeted by the censor...
It turned out that this person was a county magistrate. Not long ago, there was a lawsuit between two people. The plaintiff gave him a thousand dollars, but the defendant found out and gave him ten thousand dollars. When he went to court, the county magistrate shouted: "Hit the plaintiff twenty times." The plaintiff stretched out his hand and counted five, and hinted: "County Magistrate, the younger one is right." This County Magistrate is a very particular person. If he accepts other people's money and refuses to do things for them, he still needs to give an explanation! So he put one hand on his forehead, stretched out the other hand to make a ten gesture, and said, "He is more reasonable than you."
……
Naturally, the outcome was that the county magistrate was deprived of the newly obtained title of Chunwei, and was impeached by the censor and sent to prison. The king of Wu, Li Ke, was also impeached by the censor...
How could Princess Gaoyang not be upset when Princess Hengshan told her about this embarrassing incident?
She turned over and picked up a feather duster on the kang. She frowned angrily and said, "If you dare to make noise again, do you believe I will beat you up?"
Although Princess Hengshan is the legitimate daughter of His Majesty Li Er, Princess Gaoyang is already deeply loved by His Majesty Li Er, and now with the addition of Fang Jun, it is a serious matter that even a few slaps on Princess Hengshan are not worth it.
Of course, it would be a different matter if it was the frail and sickly Princess Jinyang...
Princess Hengshan was startled, covering her buttocks and rubbing her back: "No! If you dare to hit me, I will tell my brother-in-law and let him beat you!"
Princess Gao Yang almost fainted, holding the feather duster and waiting to get her hands on it.
There was a rush of footsteps at the door.
The maid Zheng Xiuer ran in panting and gasped: "Just now there was news from outside, tomorrow there will be a meeting of the three judges in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice..." (End of Chapter)
