Chapter 1267 The situation is complicated
The willow tree in front of the verandah has already sprouted light yellow buds, and the thin and soft willow branches are fluttering gently in the breeze and rain, giving off a breath of spring.
His Majesty Li Er was dressed in sapphire blue uniforms, with a futou on his head. His heroic face was as gloomy as water, and his tall body was straight and majestic. He stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the strings of crystal rainwater dripping from the eaves of the corridor on the green brick floor. Like pearls and broken jade, splashing clear water.
The sky was dark and drizzle was falling, and the entire Tai Chi Palace was shrouded in drizzle. It was desolate and quiet, misty and rainy, like a fairyland.
Li Junxian stood on one side with a bow and was whispering the report from "Baiqisi".
"Servant Wei Zheng went down to the Lishan Temple yesterday to offer incense and stayed all night. Today he went down the mountain at ten o'clock at noon. When he arrived at the Fang family farm, he went to visit Fang Jun and accepted Fang Jun's banquet. The lunch was very simple. But then the two of them had a deep relationship with the Fang family. The school professor at the farm had a dispute about farming and broke up..."
"The funeral of the eldest grandson's family has been completed, and Duke Zhao sent an invitation to Prince Jin's Mansion, asking His Royal Highness Prince Jin to come to the mansion to talk. Prince Jin seemed to be quite worried about this, and lingered in the mansion for a long time, and finally went to Duke Zhao's Mansion with Princess Jin. …”
"The attendees are all the core members of the Guanlong Group, and the Wang family of Langya was also present..."
Speaking of this, His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly: "Wang family of Langya?"
Among the seven sects with five surnames, the Taiyuan Wang family and the Langya Wang family are not the same clan, but they were said to be the same family five hundred years ago. Like the Boling Cui family and the Qinghe Cui family, these two families have always been in the same spirit and progressed together. Retreat, the comings and goings are very close.
But even so, there are differences between the two.
The Cui family of Boling and the Cui family of Qinghe are both wealthy families in Shandong. Due to their geographical relationship, they have always been closely related to each other, so there is nothing wrong with them. However, the Langya Wang family has been settling down in Jinling since they moved abroad. Their power is in the south of the Yangtze River, which is far away from the Guanzhong where the Taiyuan Wang family is located. Their interests and demands are also very different. Why would the Langya Wang family appear at such an important banquet? superior?
Li Junxian nodded and said: "That's right. The person present is Wang Yu'an, the younger brother of the great Confucian Wang Xue'an."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and clicked his tongue, seeming to be getting more and more interesting.
As far as he knew, the relationship between Wang Yu'an and Fang Jun was extraordinary. Now that he was attending the banquet of Guanlong Group, did Fang Jun know about it?
After Li Junxian finished his report, he stood on one side with his hands tied, waiting for instructions.
His Majesty Li Er thought for a moment, waved his hand gently, and Li Junxian left.
The drizzle is like silk, continuous, covering all the scenery in front of you, washing away the dust and making it fresh.
But His Majesty Li Er's heart was turbulent and he could not calm down for a long time.
After Changsun Wuji suffered a series of setbacks, he actually set his sights on Zhinu? !
This made His Majesty Li Er feel both angry and confused.
Regarding Changsun Wuji's speculative behavior, His Majesty Li Er could not wait to summon him in front of him right now and reprimand him! Your son made my son crippled, and even made my daughter stay alone in the empty boudoir at the age of Hua'er. Now you want to seduce my favorite child slave again?
But after all, Zhinu is his youngest legitimate son. He even lived with him in the palace before they got married. Their relationship is naturally extraordinary, far more than that of his brothers.
Should we completely cut off Changsun Wuji's speculative mentality, or should we give Zongnu a chance?
His Majesty Li Er looked at the drizzle and felt entangled in his heart. It was really difficult to give up...
*****
East Market.
The drizzle is continuous, and the usual scene of merchants gathering and prosperity is no longer there. This grand market is rarely immersed in the drizzle, making it more comfortable and less noisy.
However, hidden under the calm scene is an undercurrent that is gradually rising!
The nephew of Duke Yun Zhang Liang was fined a huge sum of money for fighting. The son of Duke Zhao Sun Wuji was detained in Jingzhao Mansion Prison on suspicion of murder and was not released until the day before Chang Sun Dan's funeral... This happened one after another. Each of these things makes Jingzhao Mansion's majesty grow day by day, making Fang Jun's reputation soar!
Looking at Gyeonggi, who dares to go against Fang Jun's stick?
What's more, he is now not only the top leader of Jingzhao Mansion, but also holds the power jointly granted by the emperor and the three provinces and six ministries!
However, with the current interests, there are always some people who have been blinded and want to pull out their teeth...
Zhang Shentie has been recuperating for many days, and his injuries are getting better.
However, I was treated badly by the Jingzhao Mansion last time, and I even got scolded by a letter from my uncle. No matter how turbulent the city of Chang'an is these days, I have just stayed in the shop and just looked after the house. Protect the hospital and dare not go out to cause trouble.
To be honest, he was also a little scared.
I thought that my uncle Zhang Liang was a prince of the dynasty, with great military achievements and a high position. Even if he was not walking around in Chang'an City, he would only be able to offend a few people, right? Who would have thought that the Jingzhao Mansion was really ruthless. They arrested him and put him in jail without asking, and extorted a sky-high fine without giving Zhang Liang any face at all.
The water in Chang'an City is a bit deep...
Zhang Shentie is reckless, but he is not really stupid. He understands that his uncle's position in Chang'an is not as high as expected. There are some people that his uncle cannot afford to offend, such as Changsun Wuji; some people have not received his uncle's permission. You can't offend people, such as Fang Jun from Jingzhao Mansion...
This made Zhang Shentie a little depressed.
It was obvious that he had joined his uncle thousands of miles away, hoping to make a name for himself in Chang'an City so that his uncle could see his abilities, and then be able to recommend him to an official position and taste the taste of officialdom. But how could he have expected that Chang'an City would be like this? The water is too deep and there are so many big fish?
It was raining outside the house, and several cousins from the same generation of the Zhang family and a few fake ones who were not favored by Zhang Liang and were not taken to Jiangnan gathered together, drinking and chatting.
Zhang Shentie drained the glass of wine, clicked his tongue, looked at the raindrops floating outside the window, and let out a long breath.
Turtle grandson!
I came to Chang'an to make great achievements, but what's the point of squatting in a shop all day long? All the bones in my body are about to turn moldy! What makes you famous? What makes you famous? Before your ambitions have even begun, you are hit on the head with a stick...
"Brother Zhang, where did such long sighs come from?" asked a young man named Lang Kun. This man was Zhang Liang's pretender. He was originally very favored by Zhang Liang, but he was injured in the Jiangnan barracks a few days ago and returned to Chang'an to recuperate.
Even though he was Zhang Liang's nephew, Zhang Shentie still wanted to respect Lang Kun. Hearing this, he sighed: "The dragon swims in the shallow water, the tiger falls on the plain, and the hero has no place to fight. How aggrieved? If I had known this, it would be better to go south to the army." It’s better to go to your uncle’s camp, even if it’s difficult in the military camp, than to live like a turtle in Chang’an City!”
Lang Kun shook his head and laughed, with a flash of disdain in his eyes. He held the wine glass and said: "This mountain looks as high as that mountain, so you can be content. Chang'an City is really not peaceful this year. All the gods are jumping around. A little bit Accidental move You messed with people you shouldn't mess with. But do you think the Jiangnan Army will do whatever they want? Haha, to tell you the truth, the commander is so worried that he can't sleep every day and his hair is falling out."
Zhang Shentie was taken aback and asked quickly: "How could this be? My uncle is the general manager of the Canghaidao March, and all the navy in the East China Sea is under control. He has a high position of power and can dominate the sky with one hand, but what is he worried about?"
< br>
Not only Zhang Shentie, but also the other Zhang family disciples and Zhang Liang's pretenders here all had this idea. As the commander-in-chief of a march, with military power in his hands, and in the south of the Yangtze River, which is as far away as the sky and the emperor, wouldn't he be the boss of the sky, Zhang Liang, the second son, who is so proud of the spring breeze that he can cover the sky with his hands, so where can he worry about anything?
Lang Kun smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "We are not outsiders. This is the end of this. We must not spread it outside, otherwise it will damage the commander's reputation!"
"That's that, are we stupid?"
"How can we spread the news about our family to outsiders?"
"Come quickly, what is the situation in Jiangnan?"
Zhang Shentie and others became curious and stared at Lang Kun attentively, urging him to tell him quickly about the situation in Jiangnan.
Lang Kun lowered his voice and said: "You just saw that the commander-in-chief has a high rank, and as the general manager of the march on Canghaidao, he must be true to his word. But how did you know that the commander-in-chief is struggling and restricted at all times at the moment? Huating Town It was Fang Jun's fiefdom. From top to bottom, no one listened to what the commander said; Su Ding The navy under Fang's command was a royal possession, with a transcendent status, and the commander had no choice but to do anything about it. However, the Donghai navy had been in disuse for many years since the previous Sui Dynasty's failed expedition to Goguryeo. If you want money but don’t have money...it’s hard to be handsome!”
After saying this, everyone present was stunned.
Is this the situation in Jiangnan? ! (End of chapter)
