Chapter 1376 King Jing’s Team
Before this, Fang Xuanling did not realize that there was anything wrong with what King Jing did.
As a prince, he was courteous and virtuous, with a gentle, humble and low-key personality... so Fang Xuanling had a very good impression of him. Although he knew that King Jing must have some plans for marrying the Fang family, he thought that he could create such a relationship for his third son. The relatives are not bad, at least they can keep their wealth for a lifetime.
However, he made friends with military commanders, deliberately managed his reputation, and today he is so eager to ask for marriage. All these signs combined together seem to give people a real worry that he has "big plans".
If he really had that kind of ambition... How could His Majesty Li Er not know about it? Fang Xuanling knew His Majesty Li Er's temperament very well. How could King Jing hide such tactics from him? I am afraid that he is holding back at this moment, waiting for King Jing to show signs, and then eradicates him with thunderous means!
Anyway, this is not the first time His Majesty Li Er has done this kind of thing: killing brother and brother...
Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and felt scared for a while. Unfortunately, she still wanted to seek wealth and honor for her third son. If she really got married to King Jing, there was a high probability that she would be involved.
I was really obsessed with it. With the current reputation of the Fang family, and the situation managed by the two generations of Fang Xuanling and Fang Jun, they have both the official power and the honor and favor of the holy family, which is enough to ensure that the family will be prosperous and blessed for a hundred years. Stretching, why bother trying to superimpose the dragon on top of the phoenix?
The blessings cannot be taken up by everyone in the family, too much is not enough...
After pondering for a long time, Fang Xuanling exhaled softly and said with approval: "This time I was thinking about my father improperly, and Erlang's plan is the right way."
Fang Jun said: "It is still due to my father's teachings. I am afraid that I will offend His Highness King Jing this time. However, as you said, suffering is a blessing. Although it offends King Jing, it will even arouse the dissatisfaction of the royal family, who think that my father and son have deceived me." Too much favor can lead to arrogance, but after all, the emperor will feel at ease, which is the most important thing. Therefore, the more people know about this, the better.”
This last sentence is profound.
Fang Xuanling nodded and smiled.
Then he said: "Chu Suiliang is coming back."
Fang Jun was slightly startled: "So fast?"
Because Wei Zheng entrusted some manuscripts to Chu Suiliang, hoping that Chu Suiliang would make them public after his death, but Chu Suiliang made double-dealing, so he hated His Majesty Li Er and was about to be punished and demoted. Unexpectedly, how long has passed before His Majesty Li Er wants to revive him?
Fang Xuanling's face darkened, and he said thoughtfully: "This matter is a bit unusual. Yesterday evening, Changsun Wuji entered the palace, and then there was news that His Majesty would promote Chu Suiliang to the position of admonishing doctor."
Fang Jun naturally knew what his father meant by "unusual".
With all the troubles coming together, His Majesty Li Er's trust in Changsun Wuji is no longer what it used to be. The conflict between the family and the imperial power has also caused the two people who were originally close to each other to become increasingly estranged and drifted apart. But it happened that under such a situation, after Changsun Wuji entered the palace once, His Majesty Li Er revived the demoted Chu Suiliang and promoted him to an official...
This is not only contrary to common sense, but also inconsistent with the temperament of His Majesty Li Er.
Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang...
Fang Jun suddenly shuddered. The two people seemed to have little to do with each other, but in fact they had a common identity - the Conglong hero who tried his best to help Jin Wang Li Zhi become the prince and eventually aspired to the throne!
Could it be that now Changsun Wuji and others have tried their best to support Jin Wang Li Zhi in his fight for the throne?
But what does it mean that His Majesty Li Er has begun to get close to Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others who were already estranged?
Is it because they have forgotten their friendship through adversity in the past, or is it because they originally preferred the King of Jin to replace the crown prince, but are just following the trend and acquiescing to Changsun Wuji and others to launch a struggle for the heir apparent?
*****
Just after noon, the news came out that King Jing Li Yuanjing went to Fang Mansion to propose marriage but was rejected, and the government and the public were talking about it.
Some people say that the Fang family father and son have noble aspirations and have already married a royal princess. Naturally, they are not willing to marry another princess. Otherwise, wouldn't the Fang family become relatives who are not relatives? Fang Xuanling is a gentleman, Fang Jun is ambitious, and both father and son are generally arrogant. How can they be willing to become vassals of the royal family?
Some people also say that Fang and his son did not know how high the sky was and how they could turn away such a great blessing. They were really stupid and too arrogant.
There was even more scolding among the royal family. They scolded the Fang family and his son for being ignorant, and scolded King Jing for being stupid and losing the royal family's face.
In Prince Jing's Mansion, Li Yuanjing was so angry that he kicked a case away...
There were two people in the hall, one was the Youtunying General Chai Zhewei, who was extremely handsome, and the other was the Youwuwei General Xue Wanche, who had a rough and powerful appearance.
Seeing that Li Yuanjing, a usually gentle and easy-going person, was so angry, Xue Wanche was also furious and cursed: "These two father and son are really bullying people! As a prince, your highness came to ask for marriage in person but was rejected. Isn't it embarrassing? To the extreme? It’s really arrogant and domineering to not take the royal family into consideration!”
Chai Zhewei on one side frowned slightly and did not echo these useless nonsense.
Even if they don’t take you seriously, they will reject you, they will hurt your face and make you a laughing stock among the powerful people in Chang’an. What can you do?
Fang Xuanling is the head of the prime ministers and assistants, and Jane is in the emperor's heart. The emperor trusts him more than you, the emperor's younger brother, what can you do to Fang Xuanling? Not to mention Fang Xuanling, even Fang Jun, who of you would jump out and point your nose and curse at me?
If you lose your face, you will lose it. Just find a way to get it back. Complaining like this is like a child saying a few harsh words after losing a fight. It is so ridiculous...
Chai Zhewei looked at the embarrassed Li Yuanjing, frowned and asked: "Actually, I can't blame Fang and his son for this matter. His Highness came to the door in person like this, and anyone else would have some doubts in their heart, so it is inevitable to be careful. I'm thinking What I want to ask is...who gave His Highness the money? Did you come up with such a bad idea? It was a good opportunity to get married with the Fang family. You could completely get rid of a person who is familiar with both families to pass the news. Even if this situation occurs, there is enough room for maneuver. How can you be so passive as now? ?”
Li Yuanjing's face turned red and he murmured for a long time, speechless.
What to say?
Could it be that he was the one who came up with this bad idea?
It was because he saw that the great people in ancient times were all courteous to the virtuous and corporal, and did not pay attention to the thatched cottage, so he wanted to imitate the sages, and went to the Fang family to propose marriage regardless of the prince's dignity. ?
History books are so deceptive...
No need to answer, Chai Zhewei had already seen the clues in Li Yuanjing's embarrassed look, and couldn't help but feel disappointed. How could such a stupid person with no political wisdom actually think that the city was deep and hidden?
Really short-sighted.
After a while, after chatting a few words, Chai Zhewei excused himself and left.
Li Yuanjing's eyes were deep and he sighed: "Since Zhewei left, we have become strangers to each other."
He is not that stupid...
Xue Wanche's fist was bigger than his brain, and he didn't know why and said: "What does your highness mean by this?"
Li Yuanjing looked lonely, sighed and said nothing, and was deeply shocked.
Xue Wanche was grumpy, but at this moment he comforted Li Yuanjing: "Those who are about to be entrusted with great responsibilities will suffer hardships in their bones and body. Why should Your Highness care about a slight setback? How can those who plan for great things achieve success overnight? Your Majesty has a prosperous Spring and Autumn Period, leaving behind There is plenty of time for us, Your Highness must not lose heart.”
As long as His Majesty Li Er is alive, who dares to have extravagant thoughts about that position?
Everything is expected to be launched after His Majesty Li Er's funeral and before the new emperor's accession to the throne is stable, so there is plenty of time.
Hearing this, Li Yuanjing suddenly became full of fighting spirit. Li Er can usurp this throne against you, why can't I?
"It's just a pity that I couldn't get married with the Fang family, otherwise I would be even more powerful! Fang Xuanling is indeed wily and wise, but I am more optimistic about Fang Jun. This son is not only well versed in officialdom, but also proficient in economics. I If Wang wants to achieve great things, how can he not get financial support? ”
He had an irreversible friendship with Xue Wanche, and he did not hide his treason.
Moreover, Xue Wanche was the Tiger General of the East Palace of Prince Jiancheng. He was taken as a confidant and reused by Prince Jiancheng. On the night of Xuanwu Gate, he led the troops of the East Palace to fight to the death, and even counterattacked the Prince of Qin's Palace, almost killing His Majesty Li Er's wife and children. It was not until His Majesty Li Er sent someone to show the prince's head that he put down his weapons and led dozens of cavalry to flee into Nanshan.
Although he was forced to surrender later, his heart was filled with deep resentment and hatred towards His Majesty Li Er. That is to say, His Majesty Li Er is magnanimous and confident, thinking that he can influence the East Palace Tiger General who was originally built by the prince. If it had been another person, Xue Wanche would have died eight hundred times a long time ago...
When Xue Wanche heard this, he snorted coldly, feeling dissatisfied.
How could that Huangkou boy get so much attention from King Jing?
If there is a chance, he must give up his position to look good, and make King Jing realize that a certain person is indispensable to him...
This chapter is a bit confusing, but I can’t help it, because I rolled it out with my face and the keyboard... The ideas are a bit messy, and it’s not easy to write when the plot is too much.
