Chapter 2345 Borrowing a Knife
There was a domestic slave outside the house who took the order and left.
Dong Mingyue raised her bare hand and waved it gently. When the spy leader bowed and retreated, she frowned and asked, "What is your plan?"
Li Yuanjing took a sip of tea soup and said calmly: "Nowadays, it seems that various factions in the court are fighting endlessly, but in fact, His Majesty's prestige is increasing day by day, and everything is under his control. It is not that he cannot calm down the various battles in the court, but he can use The art of the emperor, to restrain and balance the factions If this balance cannot be broken, then in the event of an emergency, under the pressure of the imperial power, they will unite their front and face the outside world. It is absolutely impossible for any person or force to subvert the imperial power and usurp the throne."
She gently placed a plate of pastries on the coffee table, picked up a piece with bamboo chopsticks and put it into Li Yuanjing's mouth. Although Dong Mingyue was puzzled, she did not ask further questions.
He knew this man's temperament and always wanted to show his wise and wise side in front of her. He would naturally answer her questions without her asking.
As expected, Li Yuanjing said with a little pride while chewing the cake: "If you want to break this balance, you must find a breaking point."
Dong Mingyue raised her head and stared at the Prince of Tang Dynasty in front of her with her beautiful eyes. There was confusion and exploration in her eyes, as if she could speak.
Li Yuanjing felt proud, or what could make him admire and admire his beloved woman happier?
"Qiu Xinggong is not enough to break the situation, but he can disrupt it. Once the situation in the court is stirred up, he will easily destroy this balanced situation!"
Listening to Li Yuanjing's talk, Dong Mingzhu looked shocked: "The prince wants to take advantage of Qiu Xinggong..."
"Haha! That's right!"
Li Yuanjing laughed loudly and said proudly: "This man is extremely stupid. He was originally attached to Gao Shilian and had meritorious service. Your Majesty will put him to good use no matter what. The whole family of the Qiu family will benefit endlessly, and the descendants of Yinmeng will be rich and prosperous." . As a result, this man lost his mind because of his son's violent death. , actually betrayed Gao Shilian and went to Changsun Wuji. What kind of sinister person was he? Then he sold him as soon as he changed hands, forcing Gao Shilian to retire. But there is one advantage, that is, Qiu Xinggong now treats Changsun. Wuji hates it to the core..."
There is no need to say all the words, otherwise it would be meaningless.
A smart person should stop abruptly after revealing his plans, giving people a sense of inscrutability - I have made it so clear, if you still don't understand, then there is something wrong with your IQ...< br>
The more smart people think they are, the more they like to play such mysterious tricks to show how superior they are to others and enjoy being crushed by their IQ.
Of course, there are two different things between a person thinking he is smart and being truly smart...
And Dong Mingyue had some doubts, followed by a look of enlightenment and admiration. This is the most effective way for a truly smart woman to manipulate a man, because it can make her man think he is smart.
……
The two chatted and laughed in a low voice for a while, and then the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the house.
Dong Mingyue stood up and left the table, Yingying bowed down and said: "I will avoid you for now."
Li Yuanjing nodded with satisfaction.
Not only was this woman beautiful and smart, but she also never cared about other men. Even meeting her once felt like a waste of time, and she devoted herself to serving him to please him. Even Li Yuanjing, who was used to seeing the most beautiful women in the world and had been praised since birth, also felt that it was a waste of time. Be content.
This kind of woman is simply a gift from God...
When Dong Mingyue forced herself into the back hall, Qiu Xinggong strode in.
"Old minister, see the prince!"
"Haha, why should we be polite between you and me? Come on, General Qiu, please sit down while I pour you some tea!"
"How to do this? Let the old minister serve the prince!"
……
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Qiu Xinggong knelt down opposite Li Yuanjing and started making tea.
The emerald green tea soup was poured into the cup, crystal clear and full of aroma. The two of them raised their hands together to signal, then they picked up the tea cups and took a sip.
Qiu Xinggong praised: "The entrance is smooth, the fragrance lingers on the teeth and cheeks, and the tea served is good. The prince knows how to enjoy it, haha!"
Li Yuanjing put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Recently, the tea ceremony in Beijing has become popular, and all the princes and courtiers drink it." He pointed to a teacup with a tray and lid on the side of the coffee table, and continued: "Some people even call this tea The cup is called "Sancai Cup" and the cup holder is "Earth", the cup cover is "Heaven", and the cup is "Human". It means that the sky is big, the earth is big, and people are bigger. If you hold the cup, tray, and cup lid together, this method of holding the cup is called 'Three talents in one'..."
Qiu Xinggong said: "Old ministers have also heard about it. At first, it was said that Fang Jun ordered people to make such teacups, which are very convenient for drinking tea. However, after the news spread, some literati became artful, attached to others, and even advocated What kind of tea ceremony is the way of heaven...it’s just drinking tea, how come there are so many talks!”
The jealousy is hard to hide in his words.
He always felt that the violent death of his son Qiu Shenji was inseparable from Fang Jun. For someone with his temperament, there was no need for any evidence at all and he always wanted to take revenge by cutting Fang Jun into pieces.
As a result, seeing Fang Jun start to rise rapidly, and now he has become the object of praise and admiration among scholars, his heart felt like a knife...
Li Yuanjing raised the corner of his lips slightly, then disappeared and said leisurely: "The quality of the tea and the quality of the spring water are actually not important. Three or five friends sit together and talk, express their feelings to each other, and then serve a cup of hot tea. This kind of mood is enough Green pines, flowing springs, gentle mountain breezes, and a cup of hot tea with three or five friends can make people feel relaxed and calm. The tea can clear away stagnation and bring peace, which is not something that only mediocre people can get. Got it.”
Although Qiu Xinggong is a child of an aristocratic family, he has a bad temper and has not read many books. Today, listening to Li Yuanjing talk about tea ceremony, I always feel that there is something in the words, but I can't grasp the beginning and end...
Fortunately, I kept my head down and drank tea.
Li Yuanjing waited for Qiu Xinggong to answer so that he could naturally extend the topic to Changsun Chong. As a result, the young man drank tea and ate pastries without saying a word...
His chest felt tight, and Li Yuanjing could only say: "Fang Jun is indeed a weirdo. In the past, that guy had been friends with me and followed me around for many years. How come I didn't realize that he was so amazing? What about Jueyan? You need to know, at that time, where were the kings of Wei, Wu, Gao Jixi, and Changsun Chong? Isn't this person who shines brightly in the world and is known as a leader among the younger generation? As a result, every two years, his glory is dimmed by Fang Jun. Changsun Chong even committed a serious crime of treason and had to feel like a lost dog. It’s really a shame to be in exile at the end of the world..."
Qiu Xinggong paused slightly while drinking tea, but remained silent.
Li Yuanjing smiled calmly, sighed, and said with a sigh: "Speaking of which, Changsun Chong can be regarded as a hero among people. Even if he committed a serious crime of treason, His Majesty can't bear to arrest him and punish him. Changsun Chong is still like this, Fang Jun It is even more so that Jian Zai is in the Emperor’s heart, this holy family, even the king sometimes feels a little jealous when he thinks about it.”
Qiu Xinggong finally spoke and asked: "How did the prince know that your majesty could not bear to arrest the eldest grandson Chong and punish him in a canonical manner? He is in exile and does not dare to return to the Tang Dynasty. Even if he wants to, he cannot catch him."
Li Yuanjing asked curiously: "General, you don't know yet?"
Qiu Xinggong said angrily: "What do you know?"
Li Yuanjing said: "Last night, the eldest grandson rushed back to Chang'an. He first returned to Zhao Guogong's mansion, and then left the mansion, and was targeted by the patrol of Jingzhao mansion. Then the eldest grandson rushed out of the city to Zhongnan Mountain, intending to see Princess Changle, but was refused Outside the door, there were soldiers and officers from Jingzhao Mansion, who surrounded the entire Taoist temple..."
Qiu Xinggong was surprised: "Has Changsun Chong surrendered?"
Li Yuanjing shook his head and said: "No, Princess Changle begged Fang Jun privately to instruct Fang Jun to evacuate all the soldiers and servants of Jingzhao Mansion and let Changsun Chong go."
Qiu Xinggong was not surprised.
Princess Changle has a beautiful heart and is most kind and kind. After all, she is married to Changsun Chong, so how can she watch him in jail with his head missing? The relationship between Fang Jun and Princess Changle is not clear. If Changle asks for her, Fang Jun will definitely not refuse. And Jingzhao Mansion is full of Fang Jun's team members from top to bottom. It is natural for them to follow orders. Even Ma Zhou wouldn't pursue it afterward.
Li Yuanjing seemed to find it funny, and said to himself: "Back then, Chang Sun Chong snatched Fang Jun's official position as the commander of the Shenji Camp, and then Fang Jun dragged Chang Sun Chong by his legs in the Shenji Camp and dragged him for most of Chang'an... There was resentment between the two men There are endless grievances, and everyone wants to kill the other party to be happy. But now Fang Jun has to obey Princess Changle's order and can only release Changsun Chong back to the mountains. I don't know how to feel aggrieved..."
Qiu Xinggong subconsciously echoed: "Who says it's not the case? The enemy is right in front of you, but you can only watch him carefree but you can't do anything about it. That kind of resentment is really uncomfortable..."
When he said this, his heart skipped a beat. (End of chapter)
