Chapter 2689 Pleasant scenery
Shortly after passing Hangu, the fleet arrived near Shaanzhou. The Yellow River formed a sharp turn here, with mountains and ridges on both sides of the river and rapid currents. The fleet had to slow down and move along slowly.
In the evening, the fleet arrived in Jiyuan. The river was sometimes wide and sometimes narrow. The water was vast and mighty in the wide area. The water surrounded the green mountains and mountains. The boat sailed on the top of the green mountains. The mountains and rivers blended into high gorges and flat lakes. In the narrow place, the mountain walls hold the water waves rolling, and the mountain walls on both sides seem to be coming head-on. The waves crash and make a loud sound, which is frightening and the gods are snatched away by them.
It was dusk at this time. The fleet passed through a dangerous gorge. The river suddenly opened up in front of us. The setting sun was about to fall in the western sky. The blood-like sunset not only dyed the clouds in the sky blood red, but also the mighty river water was full of red. through.
The sun sets over the long river and the water is surging.
The fleet slowed down and moved slowly in a place where the river was wide and the current was gentle. The soldiers and sailors arranged the things on the ship and made some adjustments. They just took this opportunity to have dinner. If the moon was bright at night, they would have to sail all night.
In the cabin, a group of noble people sat around the table, and various river delicacies were served at regular prices.
Du He said in surprise: "The ship we are sitting on is a warship after all. It is no different from going on an expedition. I didn't expect that we can have such good food?"
Several princesses were also confused by this.
After all, seeing the navy soldiers on the ship carrying out orders and being murderous, one subconsciously thought that this trip was not a sightseeing trip, but an expedition with the army.
Moreover, the army is simple and crude, and the soldiers are crude, and they can just fool around. How could you expect that there are so many colors, and all kinds of colors, flavors, and fragrances?
Fang Jun opened a jar of rice wine and said with a smile: "You don't know, I am a greedy person. When marching, I climb on the ice and lie in the snow without caring about life and death, but on ordinary days, I always have to eat a good meal. The food may not be the best. It must be delicacies from the mountains and seas, but it must be cured Careful and careful, the taste is better. Therefore, the Huotou Army who usually follows you has mastered cooking skills. Apart from His Highness the King of Wei's business, our trip to Jiangnan this time is mainly for sightseeing. How dare we treat you so lightly? Noble? ”
Du He was immediately excited, stroking his hands and smiling: "That's great! If Fang Erlang worked hard and took the lead on the warship, it would really make me ashamed. He knows how to enjoy like this, he is like a member of our aristocratic family!" ”
His attitude towards Fang Jun is actually very conflicted, with envy, jealousy, hatred, and admiration. In any case, as a son of a noble family who has been able to achieve such illustrious feats after years of hard work in the army, who wouldn't be jealous? Those are real meritorious deeds, each of which is enough to seal your wife’s status as a wife and rise to the top!
At the same time, there is also more inferiority complex.
They are also playmates, and they were playmates who used to be pissed together. Why are they suddenly so good?
Now that I saw Fang Jun's enjoyment side, I suddenly felt that "it's just like this", and I felt kind to him...
Princess Chengyang's face was cold, she glanced at her husband and curled her lips.
No future...
Among the people present, Du He was the only one who didn't fit in. Now he gradually blended in, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and comfortable.
When you go out, you don't have to follow so many royal etiquette and rules. Everyone sits around, drinking wine and drinking wine, and having a good time.
After drinking for three rounds, Li Tai took a piece of steamed carp and chewed it in his mouth. He asked Fang Jun, "Why did Erlang have to argue with Qiu Ying on the Tongguan waterway before? After all, in full view of everyone, you are so strong and domineering, so you don't care about your reputation." Well, it may even lead to the impeachment of those idle censors, which is really unnecessary.”
The wine table suddenly fell silent, and the other people also looked at Fang Jun.
For a long time, everyone in the world called Fang Jun "Bangchui". The general reason is that he is domineering and domineering in character. He doesn't care about his seniority in official positions, and he doesn't care about his worldliness. Anyone who offends him must be punished straight away.
But for those who are relatively close to him, they know that this is definitely not Fang Jun's nature, it is just a method of his.
His strategy is far-reaching and his temperament is kind and honest, which is not enough for outsiders to understand.
The previous arrogance and strength on the Tongguan waterway was really hard to understand...
Fang Jun took a sip of wine, sighed softly, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that the humble minister is used to being domineering, but he deliberately wants to make this matter a fuss. It would be great if the censor impeaches him."
Du He and several princesses were confused and didn't know why.
There are still people in this world who deliberately provoke those imperial censors and officials, and are eager to be impeached and then be quick?
Li Taize was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what he was doing and said in a deep voice: "You mean...this Qiu Yingqi intends to harm you?"
Fang Jun nodded and said: "Qiu Yingqi was originally a school captain in Zhechong Mansion, Jiannan Road, and was recently transferred back to Chang'an. The time was just after Wei Chen decided to go to Jiangnan with His Highness. The document for transferring him was personally signed by Du Zhijing, a doctor in the Ministry of War. …”
At such a time, the intention behind the transfer of the Qiu family children who had been away from home and had a deep hatred against Fang Jun back to Chang'an is self-evident.
Li Tai frowned: "Du Zhijing is so brave! But how can Erlang let this document be sent to Jiannan Road?"
He always thought that the entire military department was under Fang Jun's control, but he didn't expect that there was a mole like Du Zhijing.
Then he glanced at Du He.
Du He was startled and said hurriedly: "This matter has nothing to do with Wei Chen! Your Highness should know that although Du Zhijing's grandfather Du Yan is my father's uncle, he and Wei Chen are also cousins, but Du Yan and my father are Deep hatred Although Hai once advised His Majesty to forgive Du Yan's crime, there was no communication in private. No one in the Du family in Fangling wanted to see Du Yan, an ungrateful person who harmed his relatives! "
Li Tai suddenly realized.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, both Du Chuke and his uncle Du Yan were arrested by Wang Shichong. Du Yan once had a feud with Du Ruhui, so he slandered him in front of Wang Shichong, killed Du Ruhui's brother, imprisoned Du Chuke, and brought Du Chuke to the point of death. After His Majesty Li Er defeated Wang Shichong, Du Yan deserved to be punished. Du Chuke asked his brother Du Ruhui if he could exempt his uncle from the death penalty. Du Ruhui obeyed his words and asked His Majesty Li Er to pardon Du Yan's crime, and Du Yan was released.
However, the hatred can not be resolved by saying "blood connection", and the two families have never been in contact with each other.
Du Zhijing is the grandson of Du Yan. Although he is also a descendant of the Du family in Fangling, he has never been favored by Du Ruhui's clan...
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Because this document was signed by Wei Chen himself."
Li Tai immediately understood that Du Zhijing was not Guan Long's mole hiding in the Ministry of War, but had already been subdued by Fang Jun...
But he still puzzled: "Since Erlang knew that Qiu Yingqi's purpose of transferring back to Guanzhong was to deal with you secretly, why did he fulfill them?"
Fang Jun smiled, held the pot to pour wine for Li Tai, and asked: "Your Highness, do you think it is easier to be wary of an enemy who is invisible, intangible, and ignorant in the dark, or to be wary of an enemy who thinks he is invisible, but in fact is But is it easy for the enemy whose every move is right under your nose?”
With the feud between him and Guan Long, it is impossible to resolve it. And with the temperament of Guan Long and his gang of veteran nobles, it is almost inevitable to secretly kill him. As long as he gets the opportunity, he will definitely kill Fang Jun. .
This crisis always exists. If this is the case, then why not let Guan Long's secretly accumulated killer moves be exposed to his own eyes?
In the past, one had to always be on guard against the dead soldiers of Guan Long's family, because they didn't know where the killing move would be or when the murderous intention would appear, but now all they have to do is keep an eye on Qiu Yingqi...
Li Tai suddenly realized it and couldn't help but raise his thumb and praised: "Brilliant!"
Immediately he turned to look at Du He and warned: "Erlang is able to speak out such calculations frankly because he regards us as trustworthy people. You must guard your tongue and never leak this matter, otherwise it will not be used." If the prince brother settles a score with you, I will not spare you!”
Du He was not angry at all, and swore to the sky: "Your Highness, don't worry, the humble minister now has the power to assist the prince, and he and Fang Erlang are naturally comrades fighting side by side. How can he do something stupid like destroying the Great Wall? If one word is leaked, let him The five ministers were struck by thunder and destroyed by heaven and earth!”
Li Tai said displeased: "I'm just giving you a warning, why do you need to make such a vicious oath?"
Du He was obedient: "Your Highness has taught you a lesson, and the humble minister Meng Lang is..."
Li Tai clicked his tongue, feeling dissatisfied, but said nothing more.
He believed that Du He was not a fool and could clearly distinguish what was more important than what was more important. Even if he tipped off the Guanlong nobles, he would not get much benefit. Instead, he would offend Fang Jun and the prince, which was not worth the loss.
The most important thing is that Princess Chengyang is at the table. If I say it too harshly, it will make Chengyang look bad... (End of Chapter)
