Chapter 2451: Estrangement
Princess Jindeok Kim Seung Man was born extremely beautiful, but because of her valiant demeanor, she attracted special attention, and people were often photographed by her grace, thereby neglecting her beautiful face.
Nowadays, as a married woman, the double bun that represents a girl's status has long been dismantled and replaced by a tall and charming bun. She wears a bright red palace dress and wraps her slender body. Her eyebrows are picturesque and her eyes are watery, but a little less. Sassy, a little more feminine.
Although Fang Jun's injuries could not be healed and the marriage could not be consummated, the clothes he wore caused a different change in his temperament.
When Fang Jun saw her dressed in fine clothes and exquisite makeup, she smiled and said, "Where are you going, madam?"
Jin Shengman came to Fang Jun and saw that his face was a little pale due to his unrecovered injury. He omitted the words to invite his companions and whispered: "My sister has been infected with the cold these days and is inconvenient. Concubine I’m a little worried about myself, so I want to go take a look.”
It had been several days since they got married, and the two had not yet consummated their marriage, but Jin Shengman returned to Queen Seondeok's residence every three days, which even she felt was a little inappropriate.
The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and many of the rules handed down from ancient times had been modified, and women were treated with a lot of grace. Her husband's family would not prohibit her from traveling, but situations like Jin Shengman's were rare...
Fang Jun didn't think there was anything wrong. What was it for his wife to go back to her parents' house when she had nothing to do?
Let her do it.
"There are many medicinal materials in the warehouse. You can send someone to pick up a few and take them with you. If the condition is serious, you can send a steward to the palace and request a doctor from the Imperial Medical Office to visit."
"That's not necessary. There was an autumn rain a few days ago and I caught a cold at night. It has been much relieved in the past two days."
Jin Shengman lowered his head slightly and whispered softly.
She is completely different from her always cheerful character...
Fang Jun sighed secretly, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "In this house, the princess is also the master. Where to go and when to return are all based on your own preferences. There is no need to repay others for everything." There is no need to worry about anything wrong. My family has always been open-minded, and even my parents will not interfere with your whereabouts."
"Oh."
Jin Shengman responded.
When she left the house, a servant had already hitched the carriage, helped her board the carriage, and drove out of the house to the residence of Queen Seonde in Furong Garden.
In the car, Jin Shengman stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, looking at the busy traffic and pedestrians on the street, curling his lips imperceptibly...
Of course, Fang Xuanling and his wife didn't care about these things about their children. Fang Xuanling was a gentle gentleman and even talked harmoniously with others, so how could he give trouble to his daughter-in-law? Mr. Lu even teased her grandchildren every day, and didn't care much about their wives and concubines, letting them play with them as they pleased.
It's just that she is like an outsider in this mansion, still unable to integrate.
Princess Gaoyang is as high as a proud phoenix. Apart from smiling gently in front of Fang Jun and Fang Xuanling, she is indifferent to all affairs in the house. Wu Meiniang is the de facto head of the Fang family and takes care of all matters big and small. It was up to her to decide, and every servant trembled in front of her. Xiao Shuer was recently pregnant and was raising a fetus in her own yard. She also had a gentle and quiet temperament. Therefore, in the days since she got married to Fang Jun, she had not even seen this concubine who was born in the Xiao family in Jiangnan. How many times...
It’s not that Jin Shengman had any other thoughts. Marrying a chicken and following a chicken, marrying a dog and following a dog is not only the idea of the Han people, but also the Silla people adhere to it. What's more, Fang Junying is vigorous and powerful, and he is one of the few good sons-in-law in the world. What is there to be dissatisfied with?
It's just like two rivers converging, with distinct lines.
They are so unfamiliar with each other that even the smiles seem to be a bit far-fetched...
Sighing softly, Jin Shengman looked out of the window with her pointed chin, but her eyes were a little confused.
*****
As soon as Jin Shengman left the house, Fang Jun called Wei Ying over and ordered: "Prepare the carriage, someone is going out of the city to the academy."
The academy is about to start school, and Fang Jun must keep an eye on it at all times and dare not delegate all power to Xu Jingzong.
There is no doubt about Xu Jingzong's ability to do things. With him, Chu Suiliang would not be able to cause any trouble. However, all the activities of the opening ceremony were planned and implemented by him. No matter how capable Xu Jingzong was, he did not have the foresight of future generations. If you make any mistakes, you'll be screwed.
Wei Ying quickly agreed, turned around and went out to prepare.
After drinking all the tea in the teapot, Fang Jun stood up, rubbed his shoulder blades that were still aching, and slowly walked out of the door. Seeing that the carriage had stopped in the yard, he walked over and boarded the carriage, and kissed her With the soldiers cheering in front and back, they left the mansion gate and went straight to Mingde Gate in the south of the city.
Because the opening ceremony of the academy will be a big event, Fang Jun presented the plan to His Majesty Li Er for review and suggested that Chang'an City be placed under martial law for three days until the ceremony is over. During this period, only officials of the fifth rank or above of the imperial court can hold official letters issued by their respective yamen. Everyone is allowed to leave, and the rest of the people are strictly prohibited from entering or exiting.
His Majesty Li Er was very puzzled and thought this was pure nonsense.
It was unheard of to impose martial law on the imperial capital during the opening ceremony. However, when Fang Jun explained the situation in the Western Regions and explained that this move was more to delay the Tibetan envoys who had already rushed outside the city, His Majesty Li Er Then he nodded solemnly and agreed.
He cares more about the situation in the Western Region than Fang Jun.
The royal family of Li and Tang Dynasties started in Guanzhong, and all their foundations are here. Once the Western Region is lost, Guanzhong will be threatened by Arab and even Tubo armies. Coupled with the increasing prosperity of Jiangnan, this will inevitably lead to the overall situation of Guanzhong in the Tang Dynasty. its importance continues to decrease.
Maybe the memorial to move the capital will be submitted to his desk...
The capital must not be moved. As long as the Li Tang royal family still wants to rule the empire and rule the world, it must not move the capital. The Jiangnan nobles have been entrenched in the land of Wu and Yue for hundreds of thousands of years. They have long been entrenched and intertwined. If they move the capital here rashly, the government will be constrained everywhere. Do the royal families still have to rely on others?
As for the land of Hebei, where people's livelihood is in decline, how can it be worthy of being a dignified imperial capital?
Therefore, the Western Region must not be lost.
Therefore, he understood that as long as the war in the Western Region was unfavorable, he would inevitably be coerced by Tubo. If he did not want the Anxi Army to be attacked from both sides and fall into a desperate situation, he could only accept any request from Tubo.
After learning that Fang Jun had used dirty tricks to hinder Lu Dongzan's trip for more than half a month, His Majesty Li Er thought about it and readily accepted Fang Jun's petition.
Counting the days, no matter how the situation in the Western Region develops, we should reach Chang'an in detail. If we can delay it for one more day, the situation may turn around. Otherwise, when facing the lion of Tubo, would he agree or refuse?
If you agree, it will unintentionally increase the strength of Tubo. If you refuse, Tubo may become angry and start a war. The Zanpu of Luoxue City can unify the plateau and overwhelm the princes in a weak situation. He is not a fuel-efficient lamp. .
……
Mingde's sect has long been blocked by the Imperial Guards wearing helmets and armors. Even officials of fifth rank and above who are allowed to enter and exit must present official letters from their respective yamen before they can be released.
Of course, for a high-ranking figure like the Minister of the Ministry of War, there is no need for any official letter. As soon as Fang Jun's carriage came under the city gate, soldiers opened the city gate and sent Fang Jun off respectfully.
A group of carriages were shouting in front of each other, but they had just left the city gate and had to stop after traveling for less than three or five miles.
Fang Jun in the carriage was wondering why the carriage had stopped. Then he saw Wei Ying riding his horse to the carriage, lifting the curtain and looking at Fang Jun in the carriage with a strange look on his face, he said, "Erlang, someone is stopping you." I want to see you in the middle of the road.”
Fang Jun asked: "Who is it?"
Wei Ying said: "Ludong praises."
Fang Jun: "..."
Could this person have seen through all the delaying tactics along the way, and they were all for his own gain?
Fang Jun didn't want to see him, after all, such dirty methods would damage his heroic and glorious image, but he also knew that Lu Dongzan was by no means an easy person to deal with. Since he was able to stop people on the road today, if he refused to meet him, he would definitely not Willing to give up, this is a person who can influence Songtsen Gampo's will, so the situation cannot be too tense.
I had no choice but to say: "Then please ask him to get in the car."
"Here!"
Wei Ying responded, lowered the curtain, rode forward, and soon boarded Fang Jun's carriage with Lu Dongzan...
"After saying goodbye in a hurry, I suddenly realized that I was more than a year old. The Prime Minister's style is even better than before. I am very pleased."
Fang Jun cupped his fists and saluted, with a bright face.
Lu Dongzan's face was ashen, he knelt down in front of Fang Jun, his sharp eyes stared at Fang Jun's face for a long time, and then he slowly said: "I didn't die on the way to Chang'an, Fang Erlang Do you feel regretful that things are not going as planned? ”
The tone was extremely cold.
Fang Jun clicked his tongue, the old guy was quite angry...
The smile on his face did not diminish, he laughed, and said: "The Prime Minister's words... speak to my heart..." (End of Chapter)
