Chapter 1906 Your Fang Xuanling is just a flatterer
The more Li Yuanjing thought about it, the more he felt that his suspicion might be true, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became...
What if Fang Jun really knows his plot?
If you think about it carefully, it is impossible for Fang Jun to have any evidence, but having no evidence does not mean that you can sit back and relax. At present, Fang Jun is a popular person in front of the emperor. He is so popular that the emperor has great trust in him. Plus, once you mutter something in front of the emperor...
Does the emperor trust his brother or his son-in-law?
If it were his son-in-law, Li Yuanjing might still have the confidence to compete with the Holy Family, but Fang Jun...
Li Yuanjing's heart became more and more confused.
what to do?
Chai Lingwu looked at Li Yuanjing's pale face and panic, and wondered, "What's going on, uncle? But what happened? If I can be useful, I'll be fine, I'm willing to work for the emperor." Uncle effectiveness.”
When Chai Shao was alive, he had been close to Li Yuanjing since he was a child. When Princess Pingyang died of illness, Emperor Gaozu became angry with Chai Shao and ignored her, which made Chai Shao depressed. He spent all day eating, drinking and having fun without paying attention to business. Playing with Li Yuanjing more and more.
With this relationship, after Chai Shao's death, Li Yuanjing took great care of Chai Lingwu's brother and had a close relationship. Chai Lingwu also obeyed Li Yuanjing's words.
Li Yuanjing naturally trusted Chai Lingwu. Thinking of the grudge between him and Fang Jun, his eyes narrowed and an idea emerged in his mind.
*****
Fangfu.
Originally, the family, starting from Fang Xuanling and his wife, down to Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang, had been living in Lishan Farm for two months. However, this morning they heard the news that Fang Jun had returned to Chang'an, so they all set off and moved back to the mansion from the farm. .
There were dozens of servants accompanying him, and large vehicles and carts filed into the city, making the streets of Chongrenfang very lively with cars and horses.
When Fang Xuanling and his wife returned to the bedroom, Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang also settled down in the backyard with their two sons. Fang Jun happened to come back from the palace...
As soon as Fang Jun entered the house, the servants and maids came out to greet him and stood on both sides to salute him.
Nowadays, the pillar of the Fang family has been smoothly handed over from Fang Xuanling to Fang Jun. The influence of the Fang family in the court has not weakened at all because of Fang Xuanling's appointment. On the contrary, it is because the father and son are completely different. His character made the Fang family more prominent.
Fang Xuanling is a gentle gentleman, who behaves in a low-key manner and is not good at specializing in business. She "deceives others with skirts". Many times, she actually suffers a lot of hidden losses. It's just because of her personality that she never cares about these gains and losses.
But Fang Jun is completely different.
This young man, who rose up like a comet in the Chang'an officialdom, was arrogant and domineering. Anyone who offended me would be repaid tenfold. His vengeful character made everyone in Guanzhong fearful. Who dared to let him suffer? At the same time, his economic methods are unparalleled in the world. In just a few years, he has earned enough wealth to rival the country. As he grows older, his power and prestige increase dramatically.
In the past, Fang Jun could also be revered by the servants and maids in his family. This was because of his literary name as the "Master of Poetry". Who would not be honored to have such a talented man in his family who was the most outstanding in the Tang Dynasty?
However, in the face of real power, no matter how high your literary reputation is, it is not worth mentioning!
What a literary name brings is glory, but what power brings is real benefits...
Nowadays, the elderly in the mansion may be more casual and tell jokes in front of Fang Xuanling, and Fang Xuanling often laughs them off and is kind and friendly.
But who dares to be careless and impolite in front of Fang Jun?
Fang Jun didn't think too much. He smiled and nodded to the servants and maids, and then went straight to the main hall. Fang Xuanling and his wife had already taken their seats. Fang Jun came closer, kowtowed to the ground, and said: "My child has been ordered by the emperor to stay away." OK, now I’m back safely. I wish my father and mother good health. I hope everything goes well.”
Fang Xuanling said casually: "Get up."
"Here!"
Fang Jun responded. As soon as he stood up, his mother, Lu, pulled him over. He looked up and down and complained: "You kid, you are really seeking death. His Majesty sent you to that ghost country." , just run your errands properly. , Why did you go to Japan to cause trouble? Not only that, but you also turned Silla upside down and kidnapped the queen... You bastard, you won't give up until you scare your mother to death? Isn’t it?”
Listening to his mother's nagging complaints and scoldings, Fang Jun's heart felt not at all impatient, but filled with warmth.
The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles. However, in the son's heart, having such a mother who is always thinking about him is not the greatest happiness in the world.
Fang Jun lowered his eyebrows and changed his arrogant and domineering image in the eyes of the outside world. He was as obedient as a rabbit and said submissively: "Yes, yes, my mother has taught me a lesson. My son will never dare to act so wantonly again. Whatever my mother says, my son will do it." What to do..."
Mrs. Lu was naturally very satisfied with her well-behaved son. She patted Fang Jun's arm and warned: "You have already made a lot of achievements now, but given your age, no matter how much His Majesty reuses you, is it possible that he can still let you?" If you enter the cabinet and worship the prime minister, will you be able to rule the world? So, you will be old. Just go about your life honestly and steadily. When you get older, your qualifications will naturally increase. When all the old people in the court are finished, who will dare to be in front of you in terms of seniority? No? Your Highness the Prince won’t agree either!”
It has to be said that even though the Lu family is just a woman and has never seen much of the world, she is born in the Lu family of Fanyang, has a good family background, and has been around Fang Xuanling for many years, so she naturally knows the rules of the court. bright.
As he said, at Fang Jun's current age, this official position and title have come to an end. Even if he has great achievements, he will not be able to continue to be promoted. Instead, it will give the emperor a feeling of "no titles and no rewards." The trouble of "rewardable" is deeply inappropriate.
All you need to do is hang around, get through the qualifications, and when the prince ascends the throne, everything will fall into place...
Fang Jun quickly nodded in agreement.
Fang Xuanling frowned on the side and said displeasedly: "What do women know about this? Please remember not to discuss matters in court in the future!"
But what Lu said was a bit abrupt.
The emperor is on the throne, the Spring and Autumn Period is at its peak, but you say what will happen to the prince in the future... If there is a petty and mean emperor, or if it takes a few hundred years, this sentence alone can cure the crime of "great disrespect". The whole family suffered.
The truth is indeed this: when you are busy at home, you should not discuss the government affairs indiscriminately, so as not to cause trouble from your mouth. Even if you are generous and generous today, you will not get angry because of a few comments in private, but after all, you have to avoid some taboos, right?
It can also be regarded as respect for the emperor.
But when had Mrs. Lu ever reasoned with Fang Xuanling?
The whole world regards it as a matter of course for a man to take concubines, but the Lu family does not allow Fang Xuanling to take concubines!
In this regard, Lu's perfectly fits the criteria of the "imperialist" envelope. Whoever is strong is the right one!
"What's the matter, am I right? We have your influence in our family, and Erlang himself has talent and meritorious deeds. It's enough to live a simple life, why do you have to go across the ocean to fight? No matter how great your merits are, there is no wife. Live an ordinary life and be strong!”
Mr. Lu is fierce and righteous.
But as a mother, there was absolutely nothing wrong with saying this, and it made Fang Xuanling choke up...
Fang Xuanling said angrily: "A real man has ambitions in all directions, how can you be like a silverfish and wait to die? This is something that a good man of our generation would despise!"
When it came to quarreling, Mrs. Lu was really not afraid of anyone, so she immediately retorted: "To put it nicely, haven't you just been flattering the emperor in your whole life, making the emperor's service comfortable, and then promoted yourself to a higher rank? You?" With ambitions in all directions, why don't you unite your troops outside the territory and fight alongside Duke Wei to sweep across the Turks? Why don't you, such a good man, lead your army south to defeat Xiao Xian and subdue the mountain officials together with the prince of Hejian County? "
Fang Xuanling said angrily: "I am the prime minister of a country, so naturally I have to sit at the center and make arrangements calmly. Do you think that I don't have a share in the achievements of Duke Wei and the prince of Hejian County? Otherwise, you think I am Where did Liang Guogong’s title come from? ”
Lu sneered: "Haha, of course you got it by flattering others. Otherwise, why would Duke Wei have to stay in the palace to clip his wings, and Prince Hejian have to eat, drink and have fun to tarnish his reputation? But it's you, your majesty, who even concubines his beloved concubine. Are you willing to give it to you? ”
In front of outsiders, Mrs. Lu would naturally protect Fang Xuanling's face, but in front of her own son, when she was teaching her son how to recharge his batteries and goof off, Fang Xuanling's face... what was that?
Fang Xuanling: "..." (End of Chapter)
