Chapter 2574: Time and destiny
This time, the eldest son's family not only lost face, but also became a "traitor" among the Guanlong nobles. It also made eldest son Wuji have to abandon one of his sons. What kind of hatred is this? According to Changsun Wuji's open-minded appearance but narrow-mindedness on the inside, he must be unyielding and capable of anything.
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's just a small scene. Everything is under control."
Princess Changle couldn't help but glance at him, bit her lip, and still said uneasily: "Over the years, you must have known Zhao Guogong's temperament, and it is not an exaggeration to say that hatred must be repaid. Even if it is for some small interests, He was able to disregard human life, and countless officials in the DPRK fell under his hands. Now you have touched his rebellion, how can you let it go? "
Princess Jinyang also heard about Changsun Huan's suicide. She sat next to Fang Jun, raised her little face and said worriedly: "Brother-in-law, you are the same. Why do you have to provoke your uncle? Don't you even know that? The prince, brother, Qing, and I Brother Que is afraid of his uncle. He is so powerful and powerful, so you have to be careful about yourself.”
Feeling the sincere concern of the princesses, Fang Jun felt warm in his heart.
How happy is it to have a few people in your life who care about you sincerely when you are in danger?
Not to mention several beautiful and charming princesses...
Feeling a little proud in his heart, Fang Jun said with a smile: "Those who live in morality will be lonely for a while; those who rely on power will be desolate for eternity. A master looks at things outside of things and thinks about the body behind him. He can endure the loneliness for a while, but he will not be lonely for eternity. So desolate. I am loyal and courageous, and I will devote my whole life to Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty. Even if I am persecuted by traitors, my name will go down in history. My virtuous name will be praised by future generations for hundreds of years. I died in defense of the law. What regrets do I have?"
The two little princesses of Jinyang and Hengshan suddenly had stars in their eyes, and everyone marveled, how could they say such words if they were not loyal ministers?
Princess Changle was not as naive as her two sisters, but she also chewed on Fang Jun's words. The more she thought about it, the more reasonable she became. Although she seemed to say it casually, the meaning behind it was profound and could serve as a warning to the world. On the recording paper, it is praised all over the world.
I have never heard of this person studying hard, but he is always so talented and stunning.
I couldn't help but think of "The Theory of Love of the Lotus" which is still hanging in the palace and has been spread all over the world. I don't know why this person was able to associate the pure white lotus with himself, and even wrote such an article that can be praised through the ages. excellent work.
Perhaps a woman like me, who lives in seclusion in a deep palace, will be remembered in history because of such a famous article. Even thousands of years later, whenever people read this article, they will remember a certain year in the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty. Somewhere in Nanshan, there was an astonishing talent who smiled at Bo Hong's beauty, and his thoughts surged for a moment, and he just left this masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation...
Her heart was beating wildly, and Princess Changle felt as if her cheeks were on fire. It was probably due to the alcohol attack and the burning was severe.
But soon the beating heart calmed down.
Time is also destiny, I wish we could not meet each other before we were married...
There seemed to be a gloomy air rising from her chest, which made her heart feel uncomfortable. Princess Changle took a breath and said calmly: "I seem to be a little drunk and feel tired, so I went back to the palace to take a nap. The young master of the house will sit down peacefully. ”
After saying that, Yingying stood up and walked towards the door.
The pure white socks are stepping on the smooth floor, and the slender body is like a willow supported by a weak wind, with a graceful posture.
Fang Jun also stood up and said: "If there are still some minor ministers who need to be dealt with, I will leave first."
Princess Jinyang was a little disappointed: "Brother-in-law, why don't you sit down for a while?"
Fang Jun said with a smile: "Previously at the court meeting, Your Majesty had ordered the minister to suspend his post as minister of the Ministry of War, and to be temporarily replaced by Cui Dunli, the left minister of the Ministry of War. The minister has to rush back to the Ministry of War to arrange the affairs of the ministry, otherwise Cui Dunli will suddenly It is difficult to take over. If any omissions occur, I will be held responsible. ”
Princess Jinyang said "Ah" and was a little surprised. She saw Fang Jun talking and laughing as usual. She thought that her father only scolded him a few times at the court meeting, but she didn't expect that he even stopped his position as Minister of War and wanted to persuade him. Several However, seeing Fang Jun's smiling face, he didn't seem to care at all. He couldn't help but admire his brother-in-law's "indifferent and broad" mind even more. He nodded slightly and said with some reluctance: "That brother-in-law does what he wants."
< br>
Princess Hengshan asked: "Brother-in-law, can we go to the academy to play with you in our free time?"
Fang Jun was speechless, you are about to get married. The girl is playing around, are you not afraid of being criticized by the court and even making the Wei family feel inappropriate?
But he did not refuse, and nodded and said: "Of course you can, but the capital has not been very stable recently. Before leaving, you still have to ask His Majesty for instructions, obtain His Majesty's permission, and send imperial guards to escort you before the trip can be made. Don't make a sudden decision rashly." Get out of the palace, otherwise if something goes wrong, I will die without redemption.”
As long as His Majesty Li Er is consulted, he will naturally not allow a girl who is about to get married to run around...
The two little princesses nodded obediently: "I will definitely act according to my brother-in-law's instructions."
She didn't even know she had fallen into a trap, especially Princess Hengshan. If she wanted to leave the palace, there was no way she could even think about it...
Fang Jun excused himself, put on his shoes at the door and hurried out. He saw the slender back of Princess Changle had already walked around the lotus pond in the yard, and was about to reach the gate. He quickly whispered: "Your Highness, please stay!"< br>
He grabbed the umbrella from the waiter's hand and chased after him.
Unexpectedly, Princess Changle heard his shout, and instead of stopping, she quickened her pace and walked out of a moon gate with brisk steps.
Fang Jun quickly caught up with her, bypassed the Moon Gate, and saw the figure of Princess Changle at the corner of the palace wall. She took three steps and then two steps to get closer, and whispered: "Your Highness, stay!"
Princess Changle had no choice but to stop, turn around, and said helplessly: "Fang Shaobao summoned me to stay here, but what's the important matter?"
The person holding the umbrella next to her is her personal maid. She has been with her for more than ten years since she was a child. Even when she got married, she followed her to the eldest grandson's house, so there was no need to avoid her.
Fang Jun said: "His Royal Highness returned to the palace yesterday. Was he well?"
Princess Changle naturally understood that he was asking whether her father had ever reprimanded her, so she lowered her eyes slightly and replied softly: "Everything is fine, Fang Shaobao doesn't need to worry about me."
Fang Jun smiled and said warmly: "Because of the minor mistake, His Highness was almost punished. I feel very guilty and have been thinking about it. I didn't sleep well last night."
Princess Changle's face was slightly dizzy, her eyes were lowered, her lips were pursed, and she stood silently.
The rain was pouring down, and the flowers and trees planted in front of the palace wall were washed green by the rain. The accumulated water on the black tiles at the top of the wall trickled down the wall and slowly gathered into a stream at the base of the wall.
The two oil-paper umbrellas are like two small flowers in the rain curtain, quiet and motionless, with a leisurely mood.
For a long time, the two stood opposite each other, speechless, but something seemed to be flowing slowly...
Princess Changle took a breath and said softly: "There are many eyes and ears in the palace. If Fang Shaobao has nothing to say, I will go back to the palace first. If others see me, I will inevitably chew my tongue and make irresponsible remarks."
After saying that, he raised his head and glanced at Fang Jun, his eyelashes trembling slightly, then turned around, walked in a curling way, and disappeared around the corner of the palace wall in the blink of an eye.
Fang Jun looked up at the continuous rain, and then at the flowers, trees and buildings around him. He felt that even in the rain, everything seemed so pleasing to the eye, and he felt happy.
After standing there for a long time, he turned around and walked towards the main entrance of the palace.
*****
Outside Chengtian Gate, soldiers stood in the rain, waiting in formation.
Fang Jun left the palace gate, boarded the carriage, and said to the coachman in the carriage: "Go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War."
"Here!"
The driver gently raised his riding whip, and the tip of the whip held a whip in the air. It made a crisp sound, and the strong horse that was harnessing the carriage slowly moved forward.
Exiting Chengtianmen is Tianjie, which runs from east to west. Beyond Tianjie is the Imperial City. Most of the central government offices are established here. It didn't take long before we arrived at the Ministry of War office.
Fang Jun got off the car and walked into the yamen. The officials who came and went quickly stood still and saluted. Fang Jun waved his hands and said: "Everyone is busy with his own business. Let Cui Shilang come to my office to check the room."
After saying this, he walked into the duty room, and an official went to inform Cui Dunli.
A clerk came in with boiling water, took the tea can from the bookshelf, picked up the tea leaves, made a pot of hot tea, and cleaned the tea set. Cui Dunli opened the door and walked in.
"Fang Shaobao, what do you mean by summoning your subordinates?"
Fang Jun waved his hand to drive the scribe out, then waved to Cui Dunli and said: "Brother Yuanli, come and sit."
When Cui Dunli sat across from him, Fang Jun personally poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "The palace will issue a document later, and you will temporarily take over the post of Minister of War."
Cui Dunli held the teacup with a look of astonishment on his face.
He hadn't received the news yet, so he didn't know why for a while and was confused.
What does it mean to have him temporarily act as Minister of War? Where will Fang Jun be transferred? (End of chapter)
