Chapter 1328 Conspiracy
His Majesty Li Er left Fang Jun in Wei Mansion.
This stick is the best to cause trouble. If you stay here, Cheng Yaojin can suppress it. If you go to the Dou family, with the grievances and grudges with the Dou family children, big trouble may happen. Although Xiao Yu and others have deep qualifications and high positions, they obviously cannot suppress Fang Jun.
I was in so much trouble in Jiangnan...
Fang Jun did not dare to complain about His Majesty Li Er for treating him as a "trouble", and quickly accepted the order: "Wei ministers obey the order."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and then left.
The children of the Wei family and a group of ministers and nobles came to see him off.
After seeing off His Majesty Li Er and returning to the back house, Cheng Yaojin called Fang Jun to a side hall: "Come on, come on, I heard that Fang Erlang is not drunk after a thousand cups of wine, so come and have a few drinks with me."
After all, his relationship with Wei Zheng was different, and he planned to stay until Wei Zheng was out of danger or passed away. He was worried that the Wei family's children would cause trouble if they refused to accept Fang Jun, so he called Fang Jun to drink.
Fang Jun didn't like to deal with Wei Zheng's stupid sons, so he readily agreed.

Dou family.
It keeps raining...
Before the end of Shenshi time, it was already approaching dusk.
Inside the courtyard, guests gathered, each whispering in small groups...
Xiao Yu did not go to the Wei Mansion. He and Wei Zheng had always been at odds with each other. If Wei Zheng was really dead, it is estimated that his fellow ministers would definitely go to express their condolences. However, since he was not dead, Xiao Yu, who represented the Jiangnan gentry, would Won't go to visit.
And the consort Wang Jingzhi sitting in front of him at the moment would not go even more.
When Wang Shichong proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang and raised a banner to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, he developed a deep hatred for the generals who were born in Wagang.
Wang Shichong was originally a Hu from the Western Regions and lived in Xinfeng. When he was very young, he lived with his grandmother who remarried to the Wang family in Ba City, and changed his surname to Wang. The Wang family in Bacheng is a branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan...
When Wang Shichong rebelled against the Sui Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, the Wang family of Taiyuan made great efforts.
At that time, Wagang Village had just collapsed, and most of the generals, such as Wei Zheng, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Zhang Gongjin, Hou Junji, etc., all defected to Li Tang and became Li Shimin's team to compete in the world. Shan Xiongxin, because of his ancestors, He had a blood feud with the Li family and became a general under Wang Shichong.
In the end, Wang Shichong was defeated and killed, and Shan Xiongxin was bloody on the battlefield, entangled with grudges and intertwined with love and hate.
His Majesty Li Er destroyed Wang Shichong, and the general situation of the world was decided. The Wang family of Taiyuan had to swear allegiance, but they hated the Wagang generals under His Majesty Li Er...
Xiao Yu and Wang Jingzhi chatted happily, but before they arrived, Changsun Wuji also came in a hurry.
The three of them gather together, a little far away from others, and their whispered conversations will not be heard...
"Have the auxiliary machine ever visited Wei Mansion?" Xiao Yu asked.
"I received the Dou family's obituary notice in the afternoon. I was just busy with chores, so I just came here to express my condolences. As for the Wei family... I just got the news. I heard that Xuan Cheng is okay for a while, so there is no harm in going back later." Changsun Wu Ji looked tired, rubbed his eyebrows and replied.
Wang Jingzhi said worriedly: "Although Zhao Guogong is in the Spring and Autumn Period, he must also pay attention to the balance between work and rest. He has passed away. I hope you will pay more attention to your health."
Changsun Wuji smiled happily and said: "My nephew is thoughtful, I can save it."
Wang Jingzhi is the youngest son of Wang Gui, a descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, the core of the serious Guanlong Group, and the natal family of Princess Jin's Wang family... Changsun Wuji must maintain courtesy and take him seriously. At the very least, Wang Jingzhi should feel valued... …
Wang Jingzhi quickly said: "It should, it should..."
Xiao Yu raised his eyelids and glanced at the elegant Wang Jingzhi, sighed slightly, and exclaimed: "If we talk about the rising stars in the court, in fact, Jingzhi can be regarded as a hero of the moment. However, Fang Er is so sharp that His Majesty favors him. , indeed there is What a pity. Otherwise, with our respectable character, ability and family background, Your Majesty will definitely value you more and entrust you with important responsibilities. Since we are old, we will still have young talents to take over this great empire in the future. Don’t be discouraged. ”
Wang Jingzhi's eyelids twitched. This was trying to create a wedge...
But he knew clearly that Xiao Yu had evil intentions, but he still felt an uncontrollable surge of sadness, dissatisfaction, and anger in his heart!
Ordinarily, they are all royal consorts and descendants of aristocratic families. The Wang family of Taiyuan is far higher than the Fang family of Qinghe by an unknown number of levels. They are all young and handsome men. How is Wang Jingzhi inferior to Fang Jun? Well, even if Fang Jun is very talented and famous for his poetry, Fang Jun has already risen from the second rank to Jing Zhao Yin, but what about himself? A mere manager in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, well, from the fifth rank...
It’s not that Wang Jingzhi is narrow-minded, it’s that the gap is too big!
They are all princes-in-law, so what?
As luck would have it, Wang Jingzhi reminded himself that Xiao Yu's words were obviously ill-intentioned, but he still couldn't help but be jealous and angry, and it could not help but show on his face.
Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat and remained calm...
Changsun Wuji stroked his long beard with his hand, snorted and said: "That stick is just a smooth talker, how can he compare with a loyal and simple young man like Jingzhi? Let's see how he demolished the two cities in the east and west in order to please your majesty. Ba Luo, the entire Guanzhong is in chaos. If given time, he will definitely be a traitor and the chief culprit of chaos in the country."
Wang Jingzhi thought for a while and agreed: "Yes, if this son is not eliminated, the government will not be stable for a day. If he waits until his wings are full, I am afraid it will be even more difficult!"
Although I don’t know what the plans of these two old foxes are, but since they want to deal with Fang Jun... then we are naturally bound to do it. Even if we are used for a while, what is the point?
We are willing to do so!
The three of them ignored each other, their eyes flickering...
Changsun Wuji stood up and said: "I'm going to Wei Mansion for a visit. I'm afraid that my old friend won't be able to survive, so I'll be separated from the yin and the yang. I'd like to say a few words to see if there's any explanation. It can be considered that I've been together for many years." Love is not a waste of time for colleagues.”
Xiao Yu nodded and said: "That's exactly what it should be."
Having said that, he wouldn't go anyway. He had been impeached by Wei Zheng countless times in the past few years, and he had already formed a grudge. As soon as Wei Zheng died, he graciously went to the house to put incense sticks and express his condolences. Since he hadn't died yet... he might as well not go.
Wang Jing straightened up and said: "Please forgive me for sending me off so far."
Changsun Wuji smiled, nodded, turned and left.
Everyone in the hall quickly stood up and sent Changsun Wuji off with a flurry of words. Even though Changsun Wuji was no longer the most famous person in front of His Majesty, after all, his title and qualifications were there, who dared to ignore the courtesy?
Changsun Wuji smiled, nodded in greeting one by one, and went out.
When Changsun Wuji walked away and the hall returned to calm, Xiao Yu smiled and waved to Wang Jingzhi, called to sit down next to him, and stepped forward...

Liu Ji put on a set of dry clothes, wiped his hands clean with a handkerchief, sat down at the desk, held the fragrant tea offered by the maid, and took a shallow sip. All the dampness and coldness in his body came out, and he felt very comfortable. Let out a long breath.
It was dark, and candles were already burning in the study.
Just now, I went to the Dou family to express my condolences, and took a small gift. Then I went to the Wei Mansion to visit Wei Zheng, who was seriously ill. Although his clothes were not soaked through after this big circle, they were stained with moisture. He was already weak and was afraid that the dampness and cold would get into his body, so he hurried back and changed his clothes.
I thought in my heart that Dou Jing was fine a few days ago but left today. Wei Zheng, as the most critical minister of the dynasty, was running out of gas, and he felt a little sad in his heart.
Even emperors, generals, nobles, and nobles cannot escape the shackles of life, old age, illness, and death. Even if they are in charge of the universe and govern the world, won't they still end up in the dust?
It's a pity that people in the world either care about fame or pursue profit, and spend their lives fighting openly and secretly to fight to the death. Who can see through this?
Liu Jie couldn't see through it either.
He has never loved money in his life, and his life in the house is light and even a little difficult, so he doesn't care about it. Money and other stinking things are the filthiest things in the world. Gold, silver, jewelry, fine wine, and delicacies are just evil obstacles in front of him. What's the point?
But he attaches great importance to the words "name" and "power"!
If you have a "famous name", you will be remembered in history and be praised for generations! As the saying goes, "When people pass by, they leave their names, and when geese pass by, they leave their photos." Since parents are born and raised to go through this world, if they cannot shine in the annals of history, wouldn't they live this life in vain like those traffickers and lackeys?
If you have "power", you can point the country to criticize Fang Qiu, use the country to paint a picture, and show your heart to take revenge!
How can a man be without power for a day? !
It's a pity that the steps to power are difficult. Although Liu Jie was born in the Liu family of Nanyang, he had no help in the court. If he was shameless, Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song Dynasty, did have a little relationship... but it was eight The pole cannot be hit.
Without the background of a noble family, it was not easy to prosper in the officialdom of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
I have indeed become famous now, but in the final analysis I am still a rootless duckweed. When a strong wind blows, everything will be shattered...
Just when he was worried about not having a powerful family to back him up, he saw the housekeeper quickly enter the study and said softly: "The Duke of Song sent someone to deliver a letter..."
Liu Jie was slightly stunned and said hurriedly: "Please come quickly!"
"Here!"
Before he could do it, a middle-aged man in blue cloth followed the housekeeper into the study. He first greeted Liu Jie, and then presented a letter to his wife. He said respectfully: "The master of the house has ordered that Liu Yushi please read it in person." Bring Liu Yushi’s decision back”
Liu Jie was suspicious in his heart, but he kept getting closer to Xiao Yu, hoping that his ancestor would be an official in the Southern Liang Dynasty established by Xiao's ancestors and help him more, but Xiao Yu always remained distant and noncommittal.
Why did you send yourself a letter for the first time today?
Opening the letter and reading ten lines at a glance, Liu Ji narrowed his eyes slightly...
After pondering for a while, he said: "In reply to Song Guogong, let me tell you that the lower officials already know about it and will definitely cooperate with Song Guogong. Just ask him to worry about it."
"Here."
The man bowed and saluted, turned around and exited.
Liu Ji read the letter in his hand again, raised his hand and brought the letter close to the candlelight. A flame curled up on the letter paper, and in a moment, the letter paper was burned to the ground and turned into ashes.
Liu Jie raised his head and stood up and said: "Come here, study the ink, someone wants to write a memorial!" (End of Chapter)
