Chapter 2239 Sincerity
Hearing Wang Jingzhi's words, Fang Jun also raised his eyebrows differently.
So generous?
No matter how quickly you can understand that making such a decision, even if you have the intention to befriend yourself, you also have the intention of slapping the mastermind behind this matter. Even this can be regarded as a small trap. If he jumped in stupidly because he was greedy for wealth, he would probably become the target of public criticism immediately.
Everyone knows that they have been wronged in this matter, and it can be said that it is a disaster that comes from heaven. Except for those who have long-standing grudges with themselves and rejoice in the misfortune, others will sympathize with them. Everyone is involved in official circles, and no one wants to be exposed to such unpredictable schemes and frame-ups. If everyone does this, wouldn't everyone be in danger and have trouble sleeping at night?
The rules are broken.
But if he swallows this huge treasure, he will immediately change from a sympathizer of public opinion to a jealous person...
What is particularly important is His Majesty Li Er's views.
Perhaps His Majesty Li Er feels guilty for himself now. After all, he set out to destroy Xue Yantuo and other unparalleled achievements. Instead of being promoted, he was demoted.
However, once he accepts Wang's apology, at least in this matter, His Majesty Li Er will feel that he has taken advantage of it - it is just a false accusation. Since I have understood the root cause, I will naturally not argue with you. And you made a fortune because of it, didn't you take advantage?
Fang Jun is not short of money, and he feels that His Majesty Li Er has always felt indebted, which is more important than how much money he has.
Fang Jun was silent with a tea cup in his hand.
Wang Jingzhi's heart tightened, and he quickly said: "The Wang family's poems and books are passed down to the family, and benevolence and righteousness are the foundation. However, if the family is big and powerful, it is inevitable that some unscrupulous sons will appear. If something goes wrong, the family will naturally bear the responsibility, so this apology is from the Wang family. The decision was made jointly by the top and bottom to show full sincerity.”
Fang Jun glanced at him but still said nothing.
It is impossible to refuse. This matter cannot be too widely implicated. It is already the limit to drag the Wang family into trouble. If the investigation continues, His Majesty Li Er is not willing to see it.
At present, stability is the prerequisite for all policy programs and is the top priority.
Only with stable evidence can we promote His Majesty Li Er's governance policies and vigorously develop agriculture and commerce, while also rapidly improving infrastructure construction and popularizing education throughout the country.
Once the government is dragged down by "political struggles," how can it still have the energy to plan such a grand blueprint and create a prosperous era unprecedented in history?
If I don't accept the apology from the Wang family, the other side will still be unyielding. The Wang family will not sit still and wait for death, and will definitely take action.
If you accept it, it’s inappropriate...
While I was pondering and weighing, I suddenly heard someone say: "Are you all coming here to hide in peace? Haha, it is indeed a good and quiet place. I am also here to ask for a cup of tea!"
Fang Jun, Wang Jingzhi and Wang De quickly stood up and saluted: "I have met His Highness the King of Wei!"
The person who came was none other than Li Tai, King of Wei.
Li Tai was wearing regular clothes with a jade pendant on his belt. Although he was still fat, he was no longer as fat as he was a few years ago. He went to the Western Regions the year before last and was surrounded by thousands of troops. After experiencing the wind and sand at the frontier, the lines on his face became a little tougher.
He walked over swaying with his hand on his belt, turned his eyes on the faces of Fang Jun and Wang Jingzhi, and asked with a smile: "Did I come at an untimely time? If so, it is not impossible for me to avoid them."
Fang Jun and Wang Jing smiled on their faces but cursed in their hearts.
If you have the intention, just turn around and leave; if you say such a thing, who can seriously treat you as a shunner?
Wang Jingzhi said: "It's okay. We ministers do have something to say to Erlang, but it's not forbidden to talk to others. Your Highness, please take a seat."
Fang Jun was not as polite as him. He gave a weak salute. Before Li Tai could say "no courtesy", he straightened up and said teasingly: "Your Highness has become more and more curious. You just want to watch the excitement." If I drive you away, wouldn’t I become angry? ”
"Haha!"
Li Tai laughed, walked to the stone table, took a cup of tea from Wang De, and said: "The one who knows me is the second roommate! Come on, come on, everyone, sit down, you can continue talking, I The king is just watching the excitement. Don't worry, I have a tight mouth, so it won't leak out. In my opinion, there is nothing to talk about. ”
Li Tai took a sip of tea and saw Fang Jun and Wang Jingzhi both sitting down, then he said with a smile: "Look, Fang Er feels that he has been harmed by the Wang family's children, and he is angry, so he must recover it." This place! Where is the king’s consort? I feel that Wang Jingxun’s behavior was completely self-inflicted and had nothing to do with the family, so why should he be implicated? So, you don’t need to talk about it at all, just roll up your sleeves and get started!”
Wang De: "..."
Your ability to stir up trouble seems to be a bit lacking?
Well, this feeling of gloating about misfortune is very good...
Fang Jun, however, did not even look at Li Tai and said directly to Wang Jingzhi: "This matter has nothing to do with the Wang family, and he is not an unreasonable person. Why should the king's consort be worried? The so-called property of your house in the south of the Yangtze River. It was just a temporary seizure by the Navy, and they would be returned in full afterwards. However, the Prince Consort was sincere, and this apology would not be tolerated. To accept it would be to be ignorant of the good and the bad... At present, the 'Datang Culture Promotion Association' is determined to popularize school education in all states and counties in the world. The "Revitalization Association" has benefited thousands of students from poor families in the world. What does the king's consort think? ”
When Li Tai heard this, he immediately became energetic.
He is the president of this "revitalization association"!
Although they had already guessed that the Wang family was eager to calm down Fang Jun's anger, they would definitely cut off a big piece of meat, but they didn't expect that the piece of meat actually flew into their bowl...
"That's great! Haha, Erlang is worthy of being a minister of the country, serving the country with loyalty and openness of mind..."
Wang Jingzhi almost vomited blood.
The "Revitalization Association", under the guise of teaching poor students, gave books and papers to those poor students almost free of charge. This was the sworn enemy of the aristocratic families!
You want me to donate all those properties to this Laoshizi "revitalization association"?
What the hell...
Taking a deep breath, the words of eldest brother Wang Chongji were still ringing in my ears. After a little weighing in my mind, I finally had to hold my nose and swallow the breath.
The situation is stronger than the person. If you have to bow your head, then do it more thoroughly.
Wang Jingzhi said: "I really admire Erlang's broadmindedness! Since Erlang said this, then the Wang family will do this. All the properties of my family in Jiangnan will be assigned to the 'Zhenxing Association'. After I return, I will I will inform my brother and issue a family order that all my children and servants will cooperate with the allocation of Jiangnan property!”
Li Tai's face flushed with excitement, he clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Fang Erlang has a good heart, and Prince Consort Wang also has a good spirit!"
Fang Jun raised his tea cup to drink with Wang Jingzhi, and then smiled and said: "In the past, I had a lot of trouble with the king's consort. How about we go to the main hall and have a few drinks together?"
Wang Jingzhi said: "I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears!"
Li Tai said: "That's how it should be. A good man writes poetry, drinks wine, and guides the country..."
Halfway through the words, they saw Fang Jun and Wang Jingzhi standing up together, giving him a slight salute, and said in unison: "Your Highness, sit down and we will leave."
Then, we left hand in hand...
Li Tai was stunned.
It took me a while to realize, mother, are these two bastards trying to get rid of me because they think I am annoying?
He said angrily: "That's not true! That's not true! Looking at the whole world, no one dares to despise me. You two bastards are waiting for me!"
Wang De on the side twitched his eyes twice and thought to himself: They are talking about something here, you have to come over to watch the fun, you are welcome to be a ghost.
However, as a servant of the Tian family, he would never dare to say such words, so he said cautiously: "What...the night is getting darker and the dew is heavy. Your Highness, should you return to the backyard to rest, or should you go to the main hall to sit down together?"
Li Tai glared and said: "Of course I have to go to the main hall to sit down. These two bastards are hiding from me. I have to give them a good meal!"
Wang De tied up his hands and responded: "Here!"
Li Tai stood up from the stone bench, his stern face suddenly bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and he danced with joy and said, "I'm rich again this time! Haha, Wang De, you don't know, now everyone is rich" There is almost nothing in the county schools and township schools in the prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty. I have tried my best, but I can't do anything. There are no other reasons. One is the lack of teachers, and the other is the lack of money. Although my father and uncle have a lot of money, the "Revitalization Association" spends money everywhere. I asked those wealthy businessmen to raise some donations, but one or two of them ignored me. It's simply too much now that we have the Wang family! After selling these properties, a large amount of funds can be raised, and more than 200 county and township schools in Jiannan Road can be settled! I will tell you..."
Wang De always smiled and followed Li Tai step by step, listening attentively.
For some reason, facing His Highness the King of Wei's way of talking to himself, not only did he not feel embarrassed at all, but he could clearly feel His Highness's heartfelt joy.
In the final analysis, this person is not the type to play politics at all. Now that his delusion has been eliminated, he has finally found a place where he can realize his value. He is really at home...(End of Chapter)
