Chapter 2765 Imperial Interests

The mist and rain outside the window were misty and misty, and the rainwater dripped down the eaves like strings of beads. The whispers and low-pitched laughter between couples from next door could already be heard clearly.

Princess Changle looked out of the window. The cold air mixed with moisture hit her face, and her eyes were as misty as mist.

"I hope that after my wife is separated,

Comb your bun again and sweep your eyebrows beautifully.

With his graceful appearance, he is the master of selecting high-ranking officials.

Resolve grudges and resolve knots, let alone hate each other.

One is separated and the other is wide, each is happy..."

These are the words written in the book of peace and separation that Changsun Chong gave to him at the time of reconciliation. They seem to be meaningful, peaceful, and full of deep affection and blessings, but in fact they are "there is no forgiveness, and love and hate are intertwined."

That marriage completely destroyed her life. All her longing for happiness when she was a girl was shattered by reality. Her life has never been preferential because of her most noble status in the world. While receiving the most extreme honor in the world, he also sacrificed everything that is most precious to a daughter's family.

God is always so fair. When he gives you something, he will often take away an equal thing...

If I had never been married to Changsun Chong, or if I had been born a few years later, would I have been able to meet a completely different person and start a completely different life?

Unfortunately, there is no do-over in life.

Fortunately, there is no do-over in life...

*****

Amid the rain, King Li Tai of Wei strode into this manor outside Suzhou, holding an umbrella and wearing rain boots. The Xu family's manor had been completely destroyed, with many parts damaged, and the garden was trampled into a mess by the rebels. Therefore, Mu Yuanzuo donated his manor outside the city, which was originally owned by his old parents. In order to please the prince and princess, he even took his parents to the palace in the city...

Entering the entrance of the main hall, Li Tai handed the umbrella in his hand to the waiter beside him, shook off the rainwater on his clothes, stamped his feet, then took off his shoes and walked in on the floor.

Fang Jun was sitting cross-legged in front of the coffee table by the window, drinking tea. When he saw the general, he stood up and wanted to salute. He saw Li Tai waving his hand, walked quickly and sat down, and said: "Pour a cup of tea for me."
< br>

Fang Jun sat down, took a teacup, scalded it with hot water, washed it slightly, and poured a cup of tea.

Li Tai picked up the tea cup, drank the hot tea in three sips, and then took a long breath: "The hot soup goes into the throat, warms the heart and lungs, refreshes the mind, and leaves a fragrance on the teeth and cheeks! A cup of hot tea is better than delicacies, Erlang will really enjoy looking out from the window and showing off his chest. ”

Before Fang Jun could respond, he complained to himself: "Everywhere in Jiangnan is good, but the weather is really uncomfortable. It has been raining for so many days, and the bedding and clothes are always damp. It doesn't seem cold, but the cold and humid air penetrates into the cracks of people's bones. It's not as good as the cold wind in Guanzhong cutting the face like a knife. At least the room is warm!"

Although winter is colder in Guanzhong, the gaps in doors and windows are sealed, and earth dragons are burned in the house. In recent years, fire pits have been popularized, and even a pot of incense charcoal is burned, which is simply warmer than spring.

But in this land south of the Yangtze River, even the air seems to contain moisture, especially on this rainy day. Even if charcoal is burned in the main hall, you can't feel any warmth...

Fang Jun held the pot and refilled the tea cup, and said with a smile: "Your Highness's voice was full of complaints, but why didn't I feel the slightest bit of frustration from His Highness's eyebrows? Instead, there seemed to be an uncontrollable expression flowing from the corners of his eyebrows. The festive color? ”

"Haha! He is indeed a world-renowned master of poetry. His ability to observe subtle details is rare in the world!"

Li Tai smiled proudly, picked up the teacup and took a sip. After putting down the teacup, he turned sideways and saluted Fang Jun seriously, saying: "I have gained a lot this time, all thanks to Erlang. This kind of friendship is worthless." Unforgettable, I know that Erlang has a broad mind and a noble spirit, so I don’t say much nonsense like gratitude, only one sentence, I will repay you later!”

This time, he shamelessly asked Fang Jun to accompany him south, just to accept the compensation for Fang Jun's property and goods from the Jiangnan nobles, and made Fang Jun go through a narrow escape. He should have felt guilty, but the clinker made everyone in the family panic. They rushed to their own side to camp, trying to persuade them to speak to them, so that Fang Jun would not be so angry that he would not hesitate to take revenge.

Made a huge fortune.

I must feel guilty, after all, there was no need for Fang Jun to go south, but even the prince couldn't help but be moved when he saw the money presented by the nobles, and he was really happy.

Fang Jun sighed and said: "This is the way the world is, and there is no fairness at all. Some people are as poor as dirt and don't know the taste of meat for three months in their lives. Some people are born rich and well-clothed, so why not eat minced meat? Some people are sharp and sharp. Narrowly escaped death and suffered countless hardships throughout his life However, some people are lucky enough to enjoy the success and have their own warehouses full of gold and silver... Tsk, tsk, tsk, the Tao Te Ching says that the world is unkind and treats all things as suckers, and that all living beings should be equal and have no distinction between each other... It's pure nonsense."

Li Tai behaved when he got an advantage and said sternly: "Hey, you can't slander the saint for no reason. You have to think about this problem in reverse. Although I have received a large amount of money now, you have also gained a lot from me. Wang Zizhen Sincere feelings. Money is an external thing and comes and goes like clouds, but the friendship between people can last forever and never be forgotten. It can be seen that you have gained much more than me." br>


Fang Jun stared and praised: "Wei Chen has never seen such a shameless person!"

It's nothing more than quibbling, but you can still ramble like this. Li Tai, can you please show some respect?

No matter how thick-skinned Li Tai was, he couldn't help but blush at this moment, coughed dryly, spread his hands and said: "Look at what you said, it seems that I am really shameless... But then again, you are still alive this time , do you really not intend to pursue these Jiangnan nobles? ”

Fang Jun took a sip of tea and said: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, I am deeply angry at the assassination. Although there have been many court battles since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, there has been harmony between the monarch and his ministers, and harmony between the government and the opposition." , never happened If everyone follows this example and relies on secret actions to win or lose, in the long run, wouldn't it make people panic and separate the king and his ministers? But then again, this time Most of the nobles in Jiangnan were implicated, but they were actually innocent. If the ministers were to take revenge indiscriminately, some people would inevitably suffer unreasonable disasters. What's more important is that Jiangnan was a land rich in money and food in the Tang Dynasty. The annual tax payment accounts for the majority of the country. When the Eastern Expedition is about to begin, how can a humble minister cause turmoil in the entire Jiangnan due to his own selfish interests, thereby affecting the tax collection and disrupting His Majesty's Eastern Expedition? "


Then he let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "How can personal grudges override the interests of the empire? Although Wei Chen has not read a few sages' whispers, he also knows the right way in the world. This time he will take advantage of those guys. , just give them a break and let them cut off a little bit of flesh, hoping to remember the pain.”

The rain pattered outside the window and the cold air hit his face, but Li Tai felt refreshed and a free flow of air surged in his chest.

He rolled up his sleeves and refilled the tea cup in front of Fang Jun with his own hand. He said seriously: "Erlang's mind is far beyond that of many heroes in the world! This sentence, 'Personal grudges must not override the interests of the empire.'" It's really shocking Open, I feel excited! If everyone can regard the interests of the empire as supreme as Erlang does, our Tang Dynasty will surely sweep across the world and reappear the character of a strong man. All the people in the world are our soil, and all the shores of the land belong to me. Minister!”

Fang Jun also felt that there was a long-lost passion surging in his body, as if he had returned to the "angry youth" years he had experienced in his previous life. He simply raised his teacup and said loudly: "The humble minister will use tea instead of wine to respect the Tang Dynasty." For thousands of years, we will rule the world!”

"What a man who will rule the world for thousands of years! If my father hears this here, he will definitely set his sights high in the sky and float up to the sky!"

"Your Highness, please!"

"Drinking Saint!"

He clinked the teacups and drank it all in one gulp, regardless of how hot the tea was.

This is the case between men. Sometimes when the mood comes, even the smallest thing may cause strong resonance. Who doesn't have a dream in his heart to work hard to build a strong country and strong army?

No matter how time has changed and the seas have changed, even if this nation that once stood at the top of the world has been bullied and this land of China is covered with desolation, there will still be a group of passionate young people who throw their heads and shed blood for a vague goal. Warm-blooded, no regrets, can learn from the sky!

The strength of the strong Han Dynasty and the charm of the prosperous Tang Dynasty have long been engraved in the soul of this nation. Recalling the past glory has long been the driving force for every Chinese descendant to sacrifice their lives for righteousness and move forward indomitably. (End of chapter)
