Chapter 2304 Encounter out of the city
The conversation between the emperor and the prince in the Dragon Palace is unknown to outsiders.
However, the relocation of several powerful officials in the central government brought a violent shock to the court. However, everyone maintained restraint despite the shock. After all, just a few days later, the emperor would personally propose the establishment of military aircraft at the court meeting. Department, this is a top priority.
Everyone knows that His Majesty Li Er has the talent to set up a political hall outside the three provinces, which greatly reduces the government affairs handled by the emperor himself, but the power and efficiency have not been weakened by half. It is really a good strategy to create a new world.
Moreover, while His Majesty Li Er was weakening the monopoly of political resources by aristocratic families, he was also pursuing the policy of "separation of military and political affairs", intending to allow civilian officials to rule the country and military generals to run the army. From then on, a permanent pattern of separate paths for civil and military affairs was formed, which reduced the mutual fetters between the military and the government. , the situation of wrangling.
The Military Aircraft Department is equivalent to the existence of the Political Affairs Hall. It will soon become the center of the empire's military affairs and compete with the Political Affairs Hall, which is in charge of government affairs.
Almost all ministers recognized the emperor's original intention.
After all, this can add a number of positions equivalent to the powers of the prime ministers and assistants for everyone to compete for. Once they enter the military aircraft department, they will become military bosses, with a status no less than those of the prime ministers and assistants in the political hall.
Power is always the theme of politics. All plots are aimed at grasping higher power. Who can remain indifferent to this?
As a result, various factions in the DPRK and China took action, either to coordinate strategies, to test each other, or to slander and suppress...
A feast of power is going on quietly under the seemingly calm surface but secretly turbulent and unpredictable waves.
As the wedding day gets closer and closer, Fang Jun's affairs gradually increase.
The weather was too hot, and the heat in Chang'an was unbearable. Fang Xuanling had already taken his grandson to Lishan Farm to escape the summer heat, and he was doing the final compilation of the Dictionary.
Princess Gaoyang spent the whole day traveling with her royal sisters. Wu Meiniang was stationed at the Fangjiawan Pier in the south of the city. She would not return to the mansion until the last few beats of the Jingjie drum played every day. As for Xiao Shuer, she would not return to the mansion all day long. Trapped myself in a small courtyard, reading and writing, feeling at ease...
As a result, all matters related to concubinage were piled on the mother Lu alone, which made Fang Jun very depressed.
When Xiao Shuer married into the Fang family, it was because Princess Gaoyang and Mei Niang did not agree with each other. But even so, these two people ran the whole process and arranged everything in an orderly manner, with all kinds of etiquette. Still lacking, Fang Juncao doesn't need to pay any attention.
As a result, now it was the turn of the Silla princess to marry, and these two people immediately gave up their choice and stayed out of the matter...
Fang Jun had a headache.
This is emotional...
But I am also wronged, and it is not because I am greedy for beauty and want to hug each other. Take a look at these wives and concubines, starting from Princess Gaoyang, then Wu Meiniang, Xiao Shuer, and now this Princess Zhende, none of them are the same. The emperor forced it here?
As a result, some of you didn't vent your anger on the emperor, but you all worked hard with me. Are you bullying me?
Perhaps the only one in the family who is happy about this marriage is Mr. Lu. After all, for a mother, the happiest thing is for her son to have more concubines and more babies...< br>
However, although the Lu family came from a famous family and was very capable in running the family, there were still times when she could not make up her mind, so she would always go back to Fang Jun and ask him.
It caused Fang Jun a lot of trouble...
On this day, his mother sent someone to call him back to the house from the academy early in the morning. He asked him a lot of trivial matters, scolded him for not being able to hide away and enjoy the peace all day long, and even complained about the two good people Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang. Jealousy, leaving a lot of things to worry about, especially Wu Meiniang, if she is as smart and capable as she is, how can she, a mother, need to worry about these trivial matters?
Fang Jun's brain was getting bigger, and his mother Lu's fierce temper was erupting. Even Fang Xuanling was afraid of getting away from her, so how could Fang Jun withstand it?
After finally getting rid of Lu's chatter, Fang Jun ran out of the house on the pretext that there had been no rain for days and he was worried about the situation of the farmland over Lishan Mountain...
The bright sun was shining brightly on the street, and it was approaching midnight. The scorching summer heat had already fallen from the sky, and even the bluestone slabs on the street seemed to be emitting heat.
It hasn't rained for several days, and the entire Guanzhong is like a furnace. The heat is unbearable.
There were not many pedestrians on the street. Unless there was something important at this time, no one was impatient to be on the street. After just a few steps, he was covered in stinky sweat. The dignitaries in the city all went to their respective farms and villas with their families to escape the heat. The entire city of Chang'an seemed to be drowsy in the scorching heat.
Fang Jun led several troops out of Chongrenfang, rode his horse eastward along the long street to Tonghua Gate, exited the city gate, galloped southeast along the official road, and arrived at Baqiao not long after.
The water is gurgling, and the weeping willows on both sides of the bridge hang down their branches listlessly, motionless...
When I arrived in front of the bridge, I saw a group of carriages and horses slowly crossing the bridge. The sound of the horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone was clear and leisurely...
The bridge was not wide and could not accommodate multiple horses traveling in parallel, so Fang Jun had to slow down his horse speed, rein in the horse and follow the convoy across the bridge slowly.
The tribesmen looked at the caravan in front of them. The carriages were luxurious and expensive. Among them was a four-wheeled carriage produced by Fangjia Workshop. The horses were magnificent. Although the knights on the horses were wearing casual clothes, they were all strong and murderous, and their waists were Jin Junxuan was carrying a horizontal sword, and he knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person, so he did not step forward to urge him.
After slowly crossing the bridge, Fang Jun was blinded by the sun. When he saw the road became wider, he tightened the reins and was about to speed up and pass from the side of the road...
A knight rode up from the front of the motorcade. He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said respectfully: "I have seen the prince's consort. My highness, please get in the car and talk to me."
Fang Jun was stunned and was about to ask who your highness was when he saw the motorcade slowly stop. The door of the four-wheeled carriage in the middle opened, and a young man poked his head out, smiled at Fang Jun and said, wave.
Fang Jun took a breath, how did he meet this little fox?
However, he was a prince, and he couldn't bear to give him any face. Although he was a little reluctant to meet this boy, he couldn't be too rude.
He had no choice but to bow his hands towards the knight, without saying a word, and rode forward.
The knights guarding the four-wheeled carriage all gave way, and all hit their left chests with their right fists on horseback. This is the military salute of cavalry...
Fang Jun nodded solemnly. As a figure with great military exploits in the Tang army, and he had just been promoted to Minister of War, all Tang soldiers with the rank of general or lower must perform military salutes in front of him to show respect, even the imperial guards guarding the prince... …
Falling to the side of the carriage, Fang Jun turned over and dismounted. A guard came forward and took the reins respectfully. Fang Jun then boarded the carriage and entered the carriage.
Sandalwood was burned in the carriage, and the light fragrance was faint and very pleasant.
Jin Wang Li Zhi sat behind a carved lacquer coffee table, his delicate face full of smiles, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is so elegant, do you want to go to Lishan to escape the summer heat?"
Like Princess Jinyang, King Li Zhi of Jin also called Fang Jun "brother-in-law", and only called Fang Jun alone. For the other sons-in-law of His Majesty Li Er, His Highness all addressed them by their official titles or even their names.
At first, he and Princess Jinyang lived together in Da Nei and witnessed Fang Jun pampering Princess Jinyang in every possible way. Princess Jinyang was also very intimate and obsessed with Fang Jun, which made him very envious. He also admired Fang Jun, a brother-in-law who was arrogant and domineering among the younger generation but no one dared to offend him, and wanted to get close to him very much.
As a result, for some reason, the second roommate always had a barrier to him, and seemed to dislike him very much...
Over time, Li Zhi, who had a proud temperament, inevitably became angry, and the relationship between the two became increasingly cold. On the contrary, after Li Zhi was imprisoned in the mansion by His Majesty Li Er, Fang Jun visited many times with the King of Wei, the Prince and others, drinking and talking. Laugh, the relationship has eased a lot.
Fang Jun knelt down in front of Li Zhi and saluted: "I have seen your highness."
Li Zhi waved his hand and said affectionately: "You and I are close relatives, why do we need such vulgar etiquette?"
In front of him, Fang Jun was naturally not restrained. In fact, he did not like to see this brooding little fox...
He straightened up, looked at the handsome Li Zhi, and asked curiously: "Why is Your Highness here?"
This person was imprisoned by His Majesty Li Er and was not allowed to leave the residence even half a step. Today, he came to Baqiao. It seemed that he was heading to Lishan. Fang Jun had to ask.
Of course, it is expected that Li Zhi would not dare to do such a bold thing as leaving the house privately. He must have obtained His Majesty's permission.
Li Zhi picked up the teapot on the coffee table, poured tea for Fang Jun himself, and said with a faint smile: "Of course I asked my father's permission to go to Lishan to escape the summer heat. Otherwise, my brother-in-law might think that I disobeyed the imperial edict and left the palace privately? ”
With that said, he pushed the filled teacup in front of Fang Jun.
Fang Jun laughed dumbly: "How could I think so? Your Highness is a dragon and a phoenix among people. He has always had the ambition to soar in the nine heavens. He must be cautious and cautious for fear of making mistakes. How can he do something as stupid as disobeying the imperial edict? As for Your Highness, Wei Chen is very impressive, haha.”
Li Zhi's eyelids twitched.
The ambition to soar in the nine heavens...
Mother!
Do you really dare to say that these words can describe a prince?
You think I didn’t die quickly enough...
His Royal Highness the King of Jin was very dissatisfied. This second roommate was so wicked! (End of chapter)
