Chapter 2314 Team (Part 2)
Ma Zhou stared and said in disbelief: "Everyone in the city said that Fang Erlang is a stick, thick-skinned and hot-tempered. As a brother, I have always been trying to distinguish Erlang from you. Now I know that this name is wrong, but the nickname is indeed It’s not wrong! This marriage is the envy of many people in the capital, but it still makes you embarrassed?”
Fang Jun also felt that it sounded like he was being a bit pretentious...but that was indeed the case!
It is said that "If you are not a fish, you can know the joy of fish", but now he is "If you are not a hook, you can know the pain of fish"...
For a modern man, having three wives and four concubines is not necessarily a good thing. In addition to satisfying his strong vanity, men will face many difficulties.
In ancient times, "men were superior to women." Which wife would dare to be jealous and disrupt the family at home? As a husband, she would scold and scold her, or even give him a divorce letter. "Jealousy" is a rule of thumb. Even a royal princess would be guilty of "jealousy." If you are divorced by your husband's family because of your fault, you have to admit it.
Of course, there were not many "jealous" princesses in the Tang Dynasty. How could the husband keep more concubines?
It doesn't matter, if you take a concubine, I'll keep you, you play with yours, I'll play with mine...
Of course, not observing chastity is also one of the seven sins, but how many Tang princesses would care about this? The worst thing is "harmony", it saves face for you and gives me freedom.
But if you raise a heir of unknown origin because of stealing from a man, then things will get serious. This is not only a crime of seven outbursts, but also a death penalty. This is called "clan chaos". The clan ancestral hall will beat you to death, even if you are the emperor. I have to hold it in...
Fang Jun said helplessly: "Okay, you can think whatever you want. Anyway, no matter whether someone wants it or not, this marriage must be made. Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will?"
Ma Zhou looked disgusted: "You are the one who behaves when you get an advantage. Okay, if you have to complain, just complain to His Majesty. If it doesn't work, just ask His Majesty for some compensation. For example... when you enter the military aircraft department that is about to be established, when A military minister? ”
At this point, it is considered open.
Fang Jun was not pretentious, and said frankly: "If Your Majesty can understand the righteousness so deeply, I will naturally be flattered. I am afraid that some people will not see me climbing up to the top of their heads."
Ma Zhou didn't say anything. He filled the teacup with tea, gently pushed it in front of Fang Jun, and said calmly: "You and I are like-minded, so we should give our full support. But to be on the safe side, we should say hello more often. After all, there is strength in numbers." Well..."
Fang Jun raised the tea cup with both hands and said with emotion: "Brother has great righteousness, and I will bear it in my heart. I won't say more words of gratitude. Let's drink tea instead of wine and give a toast to brother."
Ma Yiyi smiled and said: "What difference do we have between you and me? Since we are close friends, we should help each other."
Lift the tea cup, touch it lightly, and drink it in one gulp.
Looking at each other and smiling, all words are in tacit understanding...

After saying goodbye to Ma Zhou, Fang Jun came to Hejian County Prince's Mansion without stopping.
The servant who looked after the door naturally knew Fang Jun, and even knew that the current prince-in-law, who had not yet taken up the post of Minister of War, had a close relationship with his own county prince. The Jiangnan Shipyard they cooperated with was now not only the largest shipyard in the Tang Dynasty, but also occupied the largest shipyard in the Tang Dynasty. The shipbuilding industry accounts for more than 60%, and foreign countries are flocking to it. How many maritime merchants are fighting to buy a cargo ship produced by Jiangnan Shipyard?
He respectfully invited Fang Jun to the flower hall, then hurried to the back house to inform Li Xiaogong.
……
Li Xiaogong was taking a nap in the backyard. After getting the message, he washed his face, changed into a set of clothes, and came to the flower hall to meet him.
As soon as he sat down, Li Xiaogong said: "At this time, you should contact more courtiers who can speak with enough weight. Why do I need to come here? Leave quickly. If you contact one more person, you will have a better chance of winning. I, the king, are here , we will definitely do our best.”
He naturally knew Fang Jun's purpose of coming.
Now, the interest entanglement between the two is getting deeper and deeper. Jiangnan Shipyard alone has brought huge profits to Li Xiaogong. How can he not side with Fang Jun?
In order to avoid suspicion, he had given up all the power in his hands, and all that was left was his prestige.
But this is the illustrious merits accumulated through countless brilliant victories, and the huge reputation of "the first hero of the clan". Who dares to ignore it?
He is willing to help Fang Jun reach a high position and gain more power. This is a matter of benefit to others and himself. It has already begun to operate within the clan. All the elders have been convinced by him, and the entire royal family will stand behind him to support Fang Jun. Jun, why does Fang Jun need to come to say hello?
Of course, he said that there was no need for Fang Jun to come, but if Fang Jun really thought that he could rely on his support with peace of mind based on the relationship between the two, and therefore did not come to visit him in person, that would be another matter. ……
Fang Jun clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty has great prestige among the royal family. With your support, I will have a greater chance of winning. I will keep this friendship in mind."
Li Xiaogong waved his hands and said: "There is no such thing as friendship, and I am not that noble. If we work together, we will both benefit, so naturally I will fully support you. Furthermore, at such an old age, I have no idea about power. fight I just want to enjoy the rest of my life, and it is enough to be prosperous, wealthy and stable. However, the few incompetent young men in the family will need more support and guidance from Erlang in the future."
"What did the prince say? You are the first prince of the clan, and all the princes are also nobles. You say this, and I am ashamed of myself! However, I have always been close to several princes in the prince's house. Later, we supported each other and advanced and retreated together.”
Li Xiaogong nodded happily, then waved his hand and said: "I, the king, can rest assured that there will definitely be no trouble in the royal family."
Fang Jun clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty is kind and righteous, I will not say more."
Li Xiaogong said: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't you have to wait for a meal?"
"I'll take my leave."
When Fang Jun walked away, Li Xiaogong was still sitting in the flower hall, sipping tea, frowning in thought. After thinking about it, he still felt a little unsafe.
When Fang Jun entered the Military Aircraft Department, his military power was greatly increased, which was a great benefit to him as the Prince of Hejian County. After getting along for many years, Li Xiaogong knew that Fang Jun was a person who valued love and justice. However, in the past, they could be said to have a combination of interests. If you make money, you can't tell who owes it to whom.
But this time, if he can settle the situation with the royal family and make the entire royal family support Fang Jun's rise to power, then Fang Jun must accept this love.
As long as Fang Jun accepts the invitation, he will definitely return it in the future.
After pondering for a long time, Li Xiaogong ordered people to go to the "Baiqisi" outside Xuanwu Gate and called his youngest son Li Chongzhen back.
Li Chongzhen hurried back, thinking that something had happened at home. When they met, before he could ask, Li Xiaogong ordered: "Immediately take my name and send the kings of Jing, Xu, Han, Peng, Huo, etc. Several princes came to the house and said that they were invited to a banquet and drink for their father."
Li Chongzhen asked curiously: "Father, what happened?"
Li Xiaogong usually didn't move much with the princes, firstly to avoid suspicion, and secondly, among these princes, only King Xu and King Han could catch his father's eye, and the rest...don't mention them.
Taking the initiative to invite several princes to the banquet was really unexpected...
Li Xiaogong sat with a golden sword, glanced at his youngest son, and said: "As a father, I have to stand up for Fang Er and sell him a big favor. Then the Hejian County Prince's Palace will have peace of mind for the next few decades."
He does not expect his sons to excel and become stronger than each generation. As long as they can live a stable life, that is enough.
And being protected by a strong person like Fang Jun brings countless benefits...
Li Chongzhen also had a good relationship with Fang Jun, and he admired him very much. He was a little worried when he heard this, and said: "Others may be easy to talk to, but I must have a father to speak, so how can I sell face. But Uncle Jing... I'm afraid it's going to be a little difficult." Right? ”
The feud between Jing Wang Li Yuanjing and Fang Jun has long been spread throughout Chang'an.
I remember that when Fang Jun was young, he liked to follow Li Yuanjing to eat, drink, have fun, and be a dandy. But then they suddenly parted ways. From then on, Fang Jun rose to great heights, and Li Yuanjing became increasingly jealous of him. Naturally, there are constant disputes.
Now that Fang Jun wants to reach the sky and enter the military aircraft department, how can Li Yuanjing sit back and watch?
With the magnanimity and magnanimity of King Jing, he would be damned if he didn’t suppress him...
Li Xiaogong was still sitting, with a gloomy face and a sparkle in his eyes: "Fang Jun is indifferent to fame and wealth, and is not keen on fame and power. But now that he is walking around, it is obvious that he is interested in this position. With his team, Chaozhong Almost no one can check and balance, Xiao Yu, Ma Zhou, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, even Cen Wenwen, Liu Jie... even Changsun Wuji has to be afraid of three points. King Jing is the only one who can attack him unexpectedly. If my father solves King Jing's biggest stumbling block for him, the favor will be great. Therefore, I will treat King Jing well this time. Just now, if he sells me this face, everything will be easy to deal with. If he doesn’t... humph, I’m not done with him anymore." (End of Chapter)
