Chapter 2218 Li Er watches the show
The scene that happened in the Changsun family was by no means a special case. On this night, almost all the Guanlong families staged similar plots to a greater or lesser extent.
The second son and concubine are usually disliked, and their lives are reduced to the vassals of the family. However, these people are not without ambition and ability. Once they find an opportunity to break through the shackles, they will use all their energy to break away from the shackles of life. , marching smoothly into the blue clouds, the sea and the sky are vast.
This kind of thing has almost never stopped in aristocratic families. Generations of outstanding seniors have created one branch after another of the family. Those widely circulated deeds inspire those who are now used by the family as a weapon to resist Fang Junzhi. Second sons and concubines, let them rise up and fight!
Overnight, everyone in the Long family was in a state of panic!
……
His Majesty Li Er was lying comfortably on the rocking chair in the flower room, squinting slightly. There was a food box filled with ice cubes on the table next to him, with a bowl of sour plum soup in it.
Li Junxian stood in front of His Majesty Li Er and reported on the noisy farce that was going on in various houses in the city. While talking, he secretly observed His Majesty's face. Seeing that His Majesty's face was calm, he felt slightly at ease...
After Li Junxian finished speaking, His Majesty Li Er opened his eyes and asked casually: "What is the reaction of each family?"
Li Junxian said: "Reactions varied. Some grounded the troublemaking second sons and concubines and severely punished them. Some tried to move them to properties outside the city or elsewhere, which was regarded as exile. Some second sons and concubines had strong tempers. Seeing that the family members would not let go, they simply walked away in anger. Within a long time, Jingzhao Mansion received more than a dozen papers suing the family and requesting to separate the family and live in another life..."
His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly and immediately laughed: "Oh! Is it so lively?"
He picked up the iced sour plum soup in the food box and took a big sip. He was obviously in a good mood.
Fang Jun's wicked trick really works. I don't have to do anything. I just stand aside and watch the show...
Li Junxian cursed in his heart, His Majesty's smile seemed to be a bit gloating.
After drinking the sour plum soup, the scorching heat dissipated a bit. His Majesty Li Er stretched out comfortably and said: "Get ready for driving. I will go to Jiucheng Palace for vacation tomorrow."
Li Junxian responded: "Here."
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyes and asked again: "What is the situation now of the monk who asked you to settle down some time ago?"
Li Junxian hesitated for a moment and said: "We have already settled in a secluded palace in Jiucheng Palace. According to the general's requirements, we have made more preparations and dare not make any omissions."
After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the origin of that monk is unknown, and the art of immortality he preaches is also illusory. How can we be credulous? Furthermore, the elixir refined by that monk last year made people Your Majesty is seriously ill, can you make the same mistake again? For the sake of your Majesty’s dragon body and the safety of your empire, I would like to ask your Majesty to think again.”
He had to remonstrate.
For His Majesty Li Er, he was full of respect and love in his heart, and he swore allegiance to him and devoted himself to it. Even if he wanted to escape from the position of the commander of "Hundred Cavalry Division" from time to time, he still worked hard and did not dare to slack off.
What's especially important is that he always felt that the monk Zhu Fan was pretending to be mysterious and that what he said was empty. If something happened to His Majesty after taking the elixir he refined, Li Junxian would be a sinner for the ages!
His own death is a trivial matter, but if something happens to His Majesty, the entire empire will be in turmoil, and it may even be the root of the country's subjugation...
He will die a hundred times to atone for his sins!
"Okay, I know what I know, don't make any noise, just go and prepare the car quickly."
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand impatiently.
Li Junxian sighed secretly in his heart, and could only bow and accept the order: "Here!"
Looking at Li Junxian's back as he walked out, His Majesty Li Er was a little dazed. After a long while, he sighed quietly and shook his head slowly.
How could he not know Li Junxian's worries?
It’s just that now, as time goes by and we get older, our body functions decline very quickly. Not only do we often get sick, our bodies are weak, but our energy is also particularly low. In the past, we used to stay up all night reviewing memorials, but the next day we could still scold Fang Qiu in the court and give instructions. Jiangshan has organized all the ministers to obey and do as they say. If they stay up all night now, I am afraid they will get seriously ill...
The old man is old and the hero is dying, which makes people feel the sadness from the bottom of the heart that time is like water and fate is inevitable.
What's particularly important is that as their energy gradually fades, the ministers in the court who used to obey orders with trepidation began to have other thoughts. This sense of urgency that the country is about to escape from his control is absolutely unacceptable to a peerless emperor like His Majesty Li Er.
Although the art of immortality is illusory, it is not uncommon to see people who live long lives in the world.
It would be best to be able to live forever, but even if not, there should be no problem in extending one's life under the conditioning of the elixir refined by the monk.
As for the last time he fell seriously ill after taking the elixir... His Majesty Li Er stubbornly believed that it was just an accident.
When people face difficulties, they can't help but hope for the best.
Everyone feels that tragedies generally do not happen to them, and that they are the lucky ones. Countless people in the world are tirelessly pursuing the path to immortality and ascension. They have never seen a successful person, but there are still people who continue to persevere and persevere. Believe that you are about to become the one who ascends...
He sighed, took a sip of sour plum soup, called Wang De over, and said: "Go and send a message to Fang Jun. Since the list is posted on the mountain gate of the academy, don't take it off. Just follow the list." Recruit students. Also, spread the word, these are the same as The second son and the bastard son whose family is in trouble, I am grateful for their loyalty to the country and their perseverance in serving the king. Therefore, as long as they can study hard in the academy and achieve success in their studies in the future, I will definitely treat them favorably and entrust them with important responsibilities! ”
Wang De quickly responded: "Here!"
I thought to myself: Now, those aristocratic families from Guanlong may have their heads enlarged again...
Fang Jun just threw out a list, which was able to cause a strong backlash from the second sons and concubines. Now that the emperor has publicly promised to reuse these people, how can there be a quarrel? Whoever dares to stop them from entering the academy is their enemy!
And it is obvious that there is probably some secret connection between these people. Otherwise, how could each of them dare to be so tough as their fathers, brothers and elders in the same clan?
Some people even delivered the warrant to Jingzhao Mansion, which is really crazy...
It has been a rule of China since ancient times that as long as the elders are alive, children and grandchildren cannot divide the family. Although this has never been recorded in the legal books and become a legal system, it is a common convention. If the descendants split up their families and live in separate lives, either they made a big mistake and were expelled by their elders, or they were too capable and set up a separate house, and they insisted on splitting up the family like this, they would be criticized by public opinion. For being unfilial.
But now the public opinion in Chang'an City sympathizes with those noisy second sons and concubines, and believes that various clans should not sacrifice the future of these young people because of political struggles...
Could this be something Fang Jun did behind his back again?
There's something good to see.
Wang De had complicated thoughts and took the order to leave.
Just as Wang De walked out, Princess Changle, who was dressed in a Taoist robe and was extremely beautiful, and Princess Jinyang, who was bright and handsome in crimson palace attire, came hand in hand.
Seeing two equally beautiful girls, the melancholy in His Majesty Li Er's heart instantly disappeared. He was refreshed and said with a smile: "You are dressed up so grandly. Where are you going?"
Princess Jinyang let go of Princess Changle's hand and flew to His Majesty Li Er like a butterfly. She took His Majesty Li Er's arm and said sweetly: "It will be Sister Changle's birthday in a few days. My sister plans to go to the Taoist temple outside the city to prepare some food." Vegetarian food for all brothers and sisters.”
Before His Majesty Li Er had time to feel sorry for this free and sick little daughter, he was shocked when he heard this. He looked up at Princess Changle and asked: "Why did you go to the Taoist temple outside the city? My father has already ordered the palace to start preparations, why should it be more grand? That’s it.”
Princess Changle stepped forward, with a gentle smile on her pretty face, and said softly: "My daughter is a divorced woman, so she shouldn't do anything big, lest she arouse gossip. And my daughter is impatient to wait. It’s such a lively scene, why don’t we let my brother The brothers and sisters invited us to go to the Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain. The mountains are cool and cool to avoid the hustle and bustle of the world. The food and drinks are simple. We can chat and spend a few days together. It must be very warm. "
His Majesty Li Er thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's not impossible. Brothers and sisters get together from time to time to keep in touch with each other and become more considerate to each other. It's just that we don't want to invite Fang Jun. That Bangchui has a stubborn temper. , he might start a fight with someone again, it’s such a lively banquet, don’t let that guy mess it up and make you come here in joy and then go back in disgrace..."
