Chapter 2528 Prince Zhongyun
The Guanlong nobles started from the Yinshan generation a long time ago. In the Dingxiang generation and even in the entire Mobei, although the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty have long since disappeared, the descendants have inherited the mantles of their ancestors and still have strong strength. Today, Mobei There are many Hu tribes who are closely connected with the Guanlong nobles.
Maybe, with Changsun Wuji's sinister temperament, he might even threaten Xiao Yu with Xiao Rui's life...
No wonder Xiao Yu is in such trouble.
On the one hand, it is the future of the entire family, on the other hand, the life and safety of the eldest son and even his career career are at risk. The choice between these is really difficult...
Ma Zhou, who had been silent on the sidelines, suddenly said: "I met with His Highness the Crown Prince a few days ago and heard that the Crown Prince Yun Duan Wenxiang has resigned. His Highness wants to choose a prominent figure in the dynasty to succeed him. Xiao Dalang is a suitable candidate, but Xiao Dalang is now He is the protector of the third rank, Zhan Shi in the East Palace is only the third rank, and the concubines on the left and right are only the fourth rank... The rank is a bit aggrieved."
Xiao Yu's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "Is this true? Your Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of the country. If you can serve His Highness by his side and follow the instructions and advice, it will be a heavy burden. How can there be any distinction between high and low grades? It is really the honor of a minister. Ah!”
There were many officials in the East Palace, and they were permanently established during the Qin and Han Dynasties. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the system became more and more strict, and it was like a small court.
Once the prince ascends the throne, these people will all be ministers of the dragon and will surely become the dignitaries of the new dynasty. Why should they care about their rank? The upper limit of future achievements is what matters most.
Fang Xuanling became the chief minister and was granted the title of Duke. Didn't he also take the position of Zuo Shuzi in the East Palace?
Ma Zhou said: "How dare I lie? This matter is absolutely true, but I don't know what His Royal Highness is thinking in his heart and whether he has other considerations."
As he said that, he glanced at Fang Jun.
Xiao Yu suddenly understood.
In terms of closeness, he and the prince were not really close. He had always believed in the principle of not interfering in the dispute over the throne, and he could even stay away from the prince. If he hurriedly went to remonstrate at this moment, saying that he begged the prince to transfer Xiao Rui back from Mobei to take up the position of prince Zhongyun, I'm afraid it would not be so easy to achieve.
In the Tang Dynasty, two people, Zhongyun and Zhongyun, were placed in Zuo Chunfang, the crown prince. They were the fifth rank. They were the deputy chiefs of Zuo Chunfang. There are six bureaus: Yaozang, Neizhi, Dianshe, and Gongmen. Whenever an order is issued, he will make a promise with the concubine and others, review it, write it to the seal office, and send it to Zhan Shifu.
He is a first-class confidant of the prince, how can he be easily promised to an outsider?
"This matter still needs Erlang to deal with it and say a few good words for my family."
Xiao Yu doesn't want to be polite to Fang Jun. You are the uncle of our Xiao family. Shouldn't you make plans for the Xiao family? After all, someone who can speak with weight in front of the prince, Fang Jun cannot get around.
Furthermore, Xiao Rui's current crisis is all caused by you. We can't agree to it but you can't save it, right?
Fang Jun pondered for a moment and said: "Tomorrow I will go to the East Palace to see the prince. The Duke of Song can come with me."
During these days, he rarely went to the East Palace, never saw Prince Li Chengqian, and heard nothing about it. But I thought that as long as he mentioned it and could win over Xiao Yu, the prince would be happy to agree.
The position of a mere prince, Zhongyun, seems noble, but in fact it is not important.
Xiao Yu looked at Fang Jun speechlessly and said angrily: "If you don't trick me to death, you won't let it go, right?"
Follow Fang Jun to the East Palace to meet the prince... Even a fool can understand the meaning of this.
As long as he goes to the East Palace this time, even if he tells everyone that the Xiao family is boarding the prince's boat from now on, not only will there be no room for change on Changsun Wuji's side, even His Majesty Li Er may be dissatisfied. .
From then on, he couldn't get off the boat even if he wanted to...
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "The Duke of Song Dynasty has experienced two dynasties and has been in high and low officialdom for decades. How could he not know that the most taboo thing in the imperial court is to waver and choose?"
Besides nodding, what else could Xiao Yu say?
At this time, there were footsteps outside the door, and several people shut up and stopped talking.
Someone knocked on the door first, and then said outside the door: "This slave has brought you dinner at the order of the master of the house. I wonder if the nobles will enjoy it at this time?"
Several people looked at each other, and Fang Jun said loudly: "Send it in!"
"Here!"
There was a response from outside, and then the door opened from the outside, and a large group of maids from the Gao family filed in with various dishes and wine in their hands.
Several domestic slaves placed a new table in the hall, and then placed all the wine and food on the table. Although they were all vegetarian dishes, they were delicious in color, aroma, and rich in variety.
When the food and wine were put on the table, the leader of the house slave asked, "Can I wait by your side?"
Li Daozong waved his hand and said, "All of you, please step aside."
"Here! This servant is waiting outside the door. If the noble man has any instructions, just call him."
He responded respectfully and retreated with a group of maids.
Fang Jun stood up and greeted: "After a busy day, I am unbearably hungry. Let's have a meal too."
Several people stood up and sat at the table.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I picked up the chopsticks, I heard someone outside shouting: "Fang Shaobao, your family will report something urgent."
Fang Jun was stunned, put down his chopsticks, stood up and came to the door. He saw Wei Ying standing outside the door. Seeing Fang Jun, he quickly took two steps forward, stood at the foot of the steps and saluted: "Erlang, the master of the family ordered me to come. Let Erlang rush to Jingzhao Mansion quickly.”
Fang Jun hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
Wei Ying said: "Just now, Sanlang and Erniang were playing in the city. They were teased by a murderer. The two sides fought hard and hurt each other. At this moment, they were all locked up by the city patrol officers and taken to Jingzhao Mansion. As the master of the house, Sanlang didn't mind. I’m just afraid that Erniang will be wronged.”
The Sanlang in his mouth is naturally Fang Yize, and the second mother is his younger sister Fang Xiuzhu.
Fang Jun didn't have time to get angry and asked hurriedly: "Are the third brother and the younger sister injured?"
Wei Ying shook his head and said: "I don't know yet, but just now Jingzhao Mansion sent someone to inform the mansion, and the head of the family ordered me to come."
Just as he was talking, he saw an official wearing the uniform of a Jingzhao government official hurriedly into the courtyard under the guidance of a servant from the Gao family. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Fang Jun, and then hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "I have seen Fang Jun before." Shaobao.”
Fang Jun looked at this person carefully and found that he did not recognize this person. He was probably an official who was transferred to Jingzhao Mansion after he took office. He asked anxiously: "Can my brother and younger sister be at the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion?"
The official said: "Exactly, that's why I came to ask Fu Yin to return to the Yamen to handle the case."
Fang Jun frowned. He noticed that the official mentioned "this case". Generally speaking, street fights were not regarded as "cases" in the eyes of Jingzhao Mansion officials. Only when someone died would they take it so seriously. Moreover, ordinary How could Ma Zhou handle the fights personally?
He became more and more anxious and asked sharply: "I ask you, are my brothers and little sister injured?"
When the officials saw him speaking harshly, they were frightened. This guy had a reputation for being evil, who would dare to provoke him? He said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Shaobao Fang. The prince and the young lady are all fine. It's just that His Royal Highness Prince Jiang and the second son of the eldest grandson's family have suffered a little more skin trauma..."
King Jiang?
Changsun Huan?
How could these two people be involved...
Without thinking too much, Fang Jun turned around and entered the hall. Ma Zhou had already heard the conversation at the door. At this moment, he stood up and said to Xiao Yu and Li Daozong: "There is something going on in the yamen, and I have my responsibilities. I won't have a drink with you two today. Another day, I will serve as a host, and I will ask the Duke of Song and the prince to show my favor, and I will get drunk again."
Xiao Yu and Li Daozong also stood up to see each other off: "Business matters are important, so you don't have to be polite."
Fang Jun also came over and said goodbye: "My younger brother and younger sister had a fight with someone on the street. My father ordered me to go, so I left first."
Everyone knows that Fang Jun dotes on the little girl in the family to the heavens. Sanlang is fine. The young man has a strong skin. Even if he gets beaten, it will be nothing. But if Fang Jun hurts a little bit of flesh...
Li Daozong couldn't help but said: "If it's nothing serious, it's better to endure your temper. The Fang family has a clean family, who will cause trouble for the Fang family? I think it must be those scoundrels in the market who are blind. Erlang must not get angry."
This matter also involves King Jiang and Changsun Huan. If this stick gets angry, it might cause something big.
Fang Jun nodded repeatedly and pulled Ma Zhou's sleeve out of the side hall.
After hearing the news, Gao Zhixing hurried over, sent the two to the door, watched them ride away hand in hand, and then turned back to the backyard to report to his father what he had just overheard.
At the same time, I was curious, how did King Jiang and Changsun Huan get involved in the fight together? (End of chapter)
