Chapter 2584 The Way of Balance
Li Ji is a very introverted person, keeping his emotions and anger a secret. It is difficult to detect his innermost feelings from his expression or even his daily behavior.
The turbulent years in Wagang Mountain were unforgettable. In the past, we only had a casual relationship with Wei Zheng, and all our feelings were kept in our hearts. Until Wei Zheng's death, the relationship between them was no longer enough to attract criticism from others. Only then can you say such words on an occasion like today.
After saying that, he drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
Wei Shuyu said quickly: "Thank you uncle for your teaching. My nephew will keep it in mind."
He raised his head and toasted three glasses in a row until the glass was dry.
Then he toasted three more glasses to everyone present, his face slightly red.
When Fang Jun saw this, he was secretly happy. Wei Shuyu was not a good drinker. Today, there were many guests and friends at the young and old gathering. They drank at each table, and they were probably drunk in a short while. In the evening, they were afraid that the bridal chamber would be weak and could only be left in the cold. Princess Hengshan.
Considering Princess Hengshan's arrogant temperament, Wei Shuyu may have a difficult wedding night tonight.
Thinking about the Princess Gaoyang in my own family, I not only lamented that His Majesty Li Er’s daughters are not easy to worry about, but it is not easy to be the emperor’s son-in-law...
Wei Shuyu toasted with wine, said goodbye and left. Today was his big day, and all the guests and friends had to be present, and no one could be left out. Naturally, no one would drag him to drink wine, and even people like Cheng Yaojin who liked liveliness never caused trouble.
Of course, this is also related to the alienation of the relationship between them. Although they have been friends with Wei Zheng for many years, Wei Shuyu is a reserved and reclusive person and does not usually associate with these old brothers from his father's time.
Fang Jun remembered that when he got married, Cheng Yaojin was so noisy that if he hadn't been a good drinker, he would have been drunk by Cheng Yaojin, and he would have been helped into the wedding room...< br>
After Wei Shuyu left, everyone had a few more drinks and talked for a while, then they all left the table and left the courtyard together.
There is no need to look for Wei Shuyu to say goodbye. At this moment, guests are leaving one after another after a banquet. Everyone in the Wei family is seeing off the guests, including the elders of the Wei family and the stewards.
Saying goodbye to the Wei family and leaving the mansion, their personal entourage was waiting outside the door. Several people got on their horses, got on their cars, and headed to Pingkangfang together.
Among them, Fang Jun was the youngest, but he was the most grand. Dozens of soldiers were wearing helmets and armor, most of them were scattered on the outside to guard. More than a dozen people surrounded Fang Jun and boarded the carriage, attracting the attention of the Wei family. The former guests frequently watched and pointed.
No one made fun of Fang Jun for his pomp and circumstance. Everyone knew that he had beaten and maimed more than a dozen Guanlong disciples, which was regarded as a deep hatred. He had to guard against the revenge of the Guanlong nobles at all times, and no amount of personal guards was enough. Strange.
At this moment, a carriage slowly drove out from the side door of the Wei Mansion and went around to the main entrance, blocking Fang Jun and his party in front.
Fang Jun's soldiers clearly saw the family emblem on the car and knew that it was the carriage of the Changsun family. They did not dare to scold him. They sat firmly on the horse and widened their eyes, waiting for the car to pass before setting off.
Unexpectedly, the carriage moved forward slowly and stopped when it got close. The curtains of the carriage were opened, revealing Changsun Wuji's round face that didn't look very good. He said in a deep voice: "Fang Erlang, can you meet me?" ?”
Li Ji and others had already moved forward quite far, and when they heard the movement behind them, they looked back, pondered for a moment, and did not turn around. Instead, they indifferently ordered the charioteer to continue driving towards Pingkangfang.
Fang Jun heard Changsun Wuji's voice in the car, raised the curtain of the car and took a look, disapprovingly saying: "What does Zhao Guogong teach me, but it doesn't matter."
Changsun Wuji chuckled and said slowly: "There are rumors in the world that Fang Erlang is brave and fearless. How can he be afraid of me, an old and frail, defenseless old man?"
Naturally, Fang Jun didn't care about such low-level provoking methods, and said calmly: "We have different ways, and we don't want to conspire with each other. I don't think I have anything to say to Duke Zhao. If you have anything to teach me, it's okay to speak up. If you have nothing to say, The official is still rushing you to go to Pingkangfang to have a good time.”
Guests coming and going in front of the Wei Mansion naturally paid attention to these two carriages at this moment. Even though they blocked the street in front of the main entrance, they all stopped subconsciously and held their breath, not daring to disturb these two carriages. Bit.
Everyone has heard what is happening now. Changsun Wuji blamed Fang Jun for the tragic death of his son. Today, he stopped him on the street. Could it be that he wanted to seek revenge from Fang Jun for his son's murder?
After hearing Fang Jun's words at this moment, everyone couldn't help but marvel. Even though Changsun Wuji is no longer the most powerful official in the world who was inferior to tens of thousands of people in the early years of Zhenguan, holding the imperial guideline and making the most of his words, as long as the people behind him While the Guanlong nobles were still there, Changsun Wuji's power was enough to make everyone fearful.
He actually compared Changsun Wuji to the sisters of Pingkangfang, even worse... Except for Fang Er, who would dare to talk to Changsun Wuji like this in public?
How exciting!
Pairs of eyes were peeping at the side with interest, hoping that there would be some more intense scenes that would open their eyes.
Naturally, Changsun Wuji didn't care about the looks around him. He laughed and said slowly: "My eldest son committed a major crime because of you. Now he is living in exile in the world like a bereaved dog. My second son is even more guilty of betrayal because of you." Suspected, I have to kill myself to apologize to the world...Don't Fang Erlang intend to give me an explanation?"
Fang Jun frowned, unable to guess what tricks this old fox was playing.
explain?
What a damn confession!
The reason why Changsun Chong conspired to usurp the throne was because the feud between him and the prince could not be eliminated. He felt that once the prince ascended the throne, he would die without a burial place, so he had to take a desperate risk. He simply removed His Majesty Li Er from power and supported a prince to ascend the throne. to ensure his own future.
Changsun Huan's death had nothing to do with him. If Changsun Wuji hadn't been smart, how could there have been a scene in front of the Zongzheng Temple where the people in front of Zongzheng Temple had betrayed their relatives and had to abandon Changsun Huan and force him to die?
But Changsun Wuji stopped him in front of everyone, and kept saying that he wanted to talk to him... What was there to talk about?
He glanced at the direction where Li Ji and others disappeared, thought for a moment, finally lowered the car curtain, opened the door and walked out.
"Erlang, no!"
When Wei Ying and others saw that Fang Jun actually got out of the car, they hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Fang Jun said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, even if I lend Changsun Wuji some courage, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me in public."
He raised his feet and walked towards Changsun Wuji's carriage.
He didn't want to talk to Changsun Wuji, but he suddenly discovered a problem that he had ignored before, but he could only rely on Changsun Wuji to solve it.
Once the Guanlong nobles are completely destroyed in the future, what will be the consequences? The most direct consequence is that he will have to confront the founding heroes represented by Li Ji and others!
Again, the reason why everything in the world is successfully preserved is balance. As long as the balance is there, everything is worry-free. Once the balance is broken, everything will be overturned and everything will perish.
In the past, the Guanlong nobles were so powerful that they destroyed the balance. All forces had to unite to keep warm, and gathered the strength of many parties to fight against the Guanlong nobles and suppress them to death, so that the court could return to balance; but once the Guanlong nobles were completely destroyed , the balance was broken again, and if he wanted to continue to maintain the balance, then only Fang Jun would stand up and compete with Li Ji and others.
In that situation, it would definitely not be half as easy as fighting against the Guanlong nobles now!
Even because he is a staunch "princeling", he represents more of the prince's interests. Once the two sides become hostile, it will immediately affect the stability of the prince's status.
It is impossible to say that Li Ji and others can completely support the prince to participate in the fight for the throne, and his actions will be exactly the same as Guan Long's current actions...
That kind of situation is something Fang Jun is absolutely unwilling to face.
The plan for now is to let the Guanlong nobles retain some of their vitality, survive the injury, and still have the power of deterrence, so that the alliance between themselves and Li Ji cannot defeat them in one fell swoop...
Fang Jun's faith was transferred, and he walked to Changsun Wuji's carriage. The charioteer opened the curtain for Fang Jun, and then stood aside respectfully.
In the carriage, Changsun Wuji sat calmly, watching Fang Jun boarding the carriage, an uncontrollable feeling of admiration surged in his heart.
According to normal logic, the two of them are now hostile to each other and have deep hatred. Fang Jun has no need to pay attention to him, let alone get on his carriage.
But Fang Jun just did this, which shows that this person has an excellent view of the overall situation and has seen situations that may happen in the future that he absolutely does not want to see.
In comparison, his sons are far behind...(End of Chapter)
