Chapter 1928 Weighing the Priorities
Although His Majesty Li Er is tough, he is by no means stubborn.
In the face of a critical situation, he was able to move forward bravely and "kill his brothers and brothers" before ascending to the throne. He was also able to accept advice and work hard to govern.
This is a rare understanding person.
However, no matter how understanding people are, they will also have their own tempers and rebellions. Although Fang Jun’s words just now clearly expressed that King Wu understood that his father was in trouble, secretly, there was no "some things" Even if you are the emperor, it doesn’t matter what you say” is mixed in.
This made His Majesty Li Er very unhappy...
I am the supreme person in the world and rich all over the world. This splendid country will naturally be passed on to his sons a hundred years later. As for which son has more and which son has less, it all depends on his sacred heart and his arbitrary will. How can his will be kidnapped by others? , have to make a decision against your will?
At this moment, he was already inclined to make King Wu the Lord of Silla.
Besides, he had a deeper consideration.
Everyone knows that the prince is kind and kind. When he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely be friendly to his brothers and close to his sisters. Having such a benevolent emperor in the Li royal family will naturally make the country stable. However, the prince is kind and kind, who knows what his successor will be like?
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty unified the country and worked hard to govern, but when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty came, he went against the grain and acted arbitrarily. The picturesque country was riddled with smoke and smog, and the people everywhere were in trouble. In the end, the Sui Dynasty Zuo was ruined, and he followed the death of the second generation of the Qin Dynasty.
Even if he is a wise and powerful emperor, he cannot avoid such uncontrollable things as the disgrace of his descendants...
Even if the central government is strong in the future, even if Silla is rich and prosperous, how can it get involved in the country? And if the central government collapsed and the political situation was unstable, and King Wu occupied a corner of Silla and attacked the central government, it can be seen how corrupt the central government was. Even if there was no counterattack from the Silla vassal, there would be heroes in the world to chase it away. In the end, the Li Tang Kingdom Zuo is cut off, and his descendants are scattered.
Regardless of whether he is the prince or the king of Wu, they are all his flesh and blood. Even if the meat is rotten and still in the pot, it is much better than others taking it away...
In this way, the prince can also be spurred not to slacken his administration, but to work hard and forge ahead, otherwise there will be a disaster of weak stems and strong branches, so he should always be vigilant.
The only concern is the prince's reaction...
After thinking for a while, His Majesty Li Er said: "You have gone on an expedition to return to the court. You haven't had time to go to the East Palace to see you, right?"
Fang Jun said hurriedly: "That's true. I have prepared some gifts to give to His Highness the Crown Prince as a congratulatory gift for His Highness' new addition to Lin'er."
In spring, Li Chengqian gave birth to a third son, named Li Jue. Fang Jun had sent congratulatory gifts at that time, but this time he went to Japan and Silla and gained a lot of rare treasures, so he thought of sending some to Li Chengqian.
No matter how good the relationship is, you still have to pay attention to daily maintenance. It is always good to give some gifts from time to time...
However, if he blatantly gave a gift to the prince, and the censors learned about it, they would inevitably label him as "flattery". Although Fang Jun was not afraid, but it was disgusting, so he just found an excuse to "congratulate", no matter who. They all knew it, but they had nothing to say.
His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly and said: "Okay, I have my own concerns. Please step aside and go to the East Palace. You are on good terms with the prince, and you often advise him to be diligent and caring for the people. As a prince, you should be broad-minded. , don’t be lazy, let alone be careless.”
Who is Fang Jun?
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "lifting the whiskers and moving the tail". After thinking about it for a while, I understood the meaning of His Majesty Li Er's words...
Immediately he understood the idea and saluted: "I know that, your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely advise His Highness the Prince a lot. He should imitate filial piety and cultivate intimacy within himself."
"Xiaohui" is Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty.
As the son of Liu Bang and Empress Lu, Emperor Hui Liu Ying was not violent at all, but had a soft and tolerant temperament.
"Cultivation within oneself is close to one's own" is what Ban Gu, a great scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, said about Liu Ying.
Liu Ying was kind and weak by nature. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty thought that he was not like him, so he often wanted to depose Liu Ying and make Liu Ruyi, the son of Mrs. Qi, the crown prince because Liu Ruyi looked like him. Mrs. Qi was favored and often went to Guandong with Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. She cried day and night and wanted to make Liu Ruyi the crown prince instead of Liu Ying. Lu Pheasant was old and often stayed at home. He rarely saw Han Gaozu and became increasingly estranged from Han Gaozu. Liu Ruyi was granted the title of Queen of Zhao and almost replaced Liu Ying several times. Fortunately, the ministers fought hard and Zhang Liang's "Shangshan Four Hao" strategy allowed Liu Ying to retain the position of crown prince.
Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty passed away. On May 17 of the same year, Prince Liu Ying ascended the throne and became Emperor Hui of Han. After Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, he honored his mother, Queen Lü Zhi, as the empress dowager, and Lü Zhi served as regent. All courtiers called her Empress Lu.
Empress Lu resented Mrs. Qi and Liu Ruyi, mother and son, so she ordered Mrs. Qi to be imprisoned in Yongxiang in the palace. She had her hair shaved off, put on torture tools, put on earth-red prison uniforms, and did the hard work of pounding rice. She also sent an envoy to summon Liu Ruyi came to Beijing. When Liu Ying learned about this, Liu Ruyi had already set off and had not yet arrived in the capital. Liu Ying was kind and knew that Empress Lu was going to be angry with Liu Ruyi, so she personally went to Bashang to welcome Liu Ruyi, entered the palace with Liu Ruyi, and took him to eat and sleep with her. Empress Lu wanted to kill Liu Ruyi, but she couldn't find a chance to do so.
Once again Liu Ying went out hunting in the early morning. Liu Ruyi could not get up early to go with her because of her young age.
Empress Lu learned that Liu Ruyi was alone in the palace, so she sent someone to bring poisoned wine for Liu Ruyi to drink. At dawn, Liu Ying returned to the palace, only to find that Liu Ruyi was dead...
Fang Jun's so-called "imitate filial piety and benefit, cultivate intimacy internally" refers to admonishing the prince Li Chengqian to be as friendly and kind to his brothers as Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty was.
His Majesty Li Er nodded slowly, appreciating in his heart that Fang Jun knew the elegant meaning of the string song after hearing it. He is indeed a clear-cut talent, and his consistent protection is not in vain...
The smile on his face became a little brighter, he waved his hand and said: "Then go out of the palace quickly. Do you still want me to take care of your lunch?"
Fang Jun hurriedly said: "Wei Chen doesn't dare, Wei Chen will leave."
"Yeah."
When Fang Jun heard the emperor's reply, he secretly glanced at the emperor's face with a guilty conscience, and saw that he really didn't mean to embarrass him...
Is this a pass?
Somewhat incredible.
However, he is not a masochist by nature. At this time, seeing that the emperor did not investigate his going to Shujing Palace, how could he dare to mention it?
He quickly bowed and took three steps back, then turned around and walked out of the palace door.
As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw Wang De guarding the door, ready for orders.
Fang Junyi cupped his hand and said: "When I have free time tomorrow, I will have a drink with Mr. Wang. I will say goodbye today."
After saying that, he quickly ran towards Chengtian Gate...
Wang De was confused. He looked at Fang Jun's disappearing figure and was a little confused. The emperor was angry just now. Based on his understanding of the emperor, he was obviously very angry about this boy going to Shujing Palace. He was definitely going to be punished, but unexpectedly, he was summoned for about an hour, and then he was let go without any trouble.
It shouldn’t be...
Just when he was doubtful, he suddenly heard a scolding from the emperor in the palace. Wang De hurriedly entered the palace and saw the emperor standing behind the writing desk with his hands behind his back. He said sternly: "Where is the mallet? Call me in. I forgot about business for a moment." , I was almost fooled by him, and I must be punished to get rid of the bad breath in my heart!”
Wang De was stunned and said nonchalantly: "The prince-in-law... has left. After all, he is a young man. His legs and feet are brisk and he can run as fast as he can. I am afraid that he has already arrived at Chengtian Gate by now... Otherwise, the old slave sect Man, get him back?”
His Majesty Li Er was also stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "This bastard! That's all, that guy knows he did something wrong, and I'm afraid he has run far away by now. If he catches up, it will inevitably cause a fuss, and it will end more and more badly... But if you run away from the monk, you can also run away from the temple? Hehe, you bastard, I can’t spare you!”
Wang De shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word.
But in his heart, he admired Fang Jun endlessly. After all the civil and military dynasties, which one could still leave the palace with all his strength after irritating the emperor?
This person who provoked the emperor all day long and was punished every three days, but at the same time had a prosperous official career, a high career, a holy family, a good wife, and Jane in the heart of the emperor, was really an anomaly.
How is this the treatment of a son-in-law?
If Wang De had not served the emperor for many years, he would even have doubted whether this was the emperor's lost biological flesh and blood...
His Majesty Li Er was angry for a while, drank a cup of tea, and then said: "Send someone to watch in front of Fang's mansion, wait for Fang Jun to return from the East Palace, and bring him to the palace immediately at any time. I have Something to ask.”
"Here!"
Wang De quickly agreed.
Fang Jun was silently mentioning that he was sweating. He thought that the emperor was angry and would not give up without punishing him severely.
But it’s no wonder that the emperor was angry. You said that you, a foreign minister, had to go to Princess Changle’s palace and break into her? Why?
Even if you have something on your mind, you have to do it secretly. If you make it known to everyone, aren't you asking for trouble?
Eh?
Thinking of this, Wang De suddenly felt something in his heart.
Then Fang Jun didn't look like a fool, but why did he do such a stupid thing?
Could it be that he just wanted to make a fuss about going to Shujing Palace and let everyone know that he entered Princess Changle's palace with ease, and that the relationship between the two is very close?
Hiss...
Wang De's eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat. If this is really the case... then this kid is not only brave, but also very insidious!
