Chapter 2971 The Frightened Bird
Fang Jun felt a little sad.
He pursued her persistently, but Princess Changle just acquiesced in her attitude. She never said a thoughtful word, let alone allowed him to exceed the distance by even an inch, and always kept her distance.
In his opinion, Chang Le may have a little bit of affection for him, but it is definitely not a deep love. After all, not only was he not allowed to have too much physical contact, he even avoided talking about the relationship between the two...
It can be frustrating.
Princess Gao Yang stretched out her hand to caress Lang Jun's thin cheek, then moved her fingers to the thick black eyebrows and gently slid them along the outline. She chuckled and said, "Why do you look so sad and depressed? Humph, Sister Changle is not like Wu Shunniang." Ordinary people, let you do it.”
Fang Jun was embarrassed again. Isn't this a secret?
But soon after sighing, he realized that he had actually lived in the most annoying way in his previous life...
To survive in this society, the idea that men are superior to women is deeply ingrained. Even he, a time traveler, has been corroded by this strong social atmosphere. Although he has not yet reached the point of treating women as subordinates, he also subconsciously feels that men should be superior to others, and capable and charming men should have more women.
He didn't treat women as playthings, but he did lack enough respect, so he provoked them one after another, eating the food in the bowl and thinking about the food in the basin, wishing they could all be thrown into the pot.
It’s corrupt...
Princess Gaoyang seems to like seeing Fang Jun's depressed and helpless expression. After all, this guy usually holds the power and is arrogant, and his domineering and arrogant style is full of masculinity. On the contrary, this look of easily revealing his thoughts is even more attractive. Feel close.
Putting her face against Lang Jun's chest, Princess Gaoyang said faintly: "With Sister Changle's temperament, I'm afraid she will never marry again in this life. Once my father gets desperate, she may even cut off her hair and become a nun. But it's possible." It’s okay if a woman doesn’t have a man by her side, and she doesn’t even have a child. How lonely and lonely will she be? Erlang, why don’t you give Sister Changle a child?”
Fang Jun thought for a while and said softly: "Isn't this good? I don't have any objections. Although Your Highness Changle is your sister, passing our child to her... will inevitably attract criticism."
"Huh?"
Princess Gao Yang raised her head, her long hair hanging down and piled on Fang Jun's chest. Her face was full of surprise: "Who said we would adopt our child to Sister Changle?"
Fang Junqi asked: "Didn't you just say that you wanted to give His Highness Changle a child?"
Princess Gaoyang frowned and said: "How can the child I gave birth to be passed on to someone else? My sister can't do it either! I asked you to have a child with Sister Changle..."
Fang Jun's eyes widened, thinking he was hallucinating: "..."
Sister, are you serious? !
Princess Gao Yang hit Fang Jun on the chest, pursed her lips, snorted, and said: "Why are you so surprised? It seems like you are not happy... If you hadn't seen Sister Changle alone, she would have no children around her in the future. Companion, do you think I am willing? You are so beautiful!”
He rolled down from Fang Jun's chest and turned to the other side, leaving Fang Jun's back behind, huffing and puffing.
Fang Jun quickly turned to his side and hugged her slender waist. For a moment, he felt that his outlook was completely ruined. He couldn't formulate appropriate words for a long time and could only remain silent.
Princess Gaoyang was lying on her side and snuggled into her husband's arms. Her beautiful eyes were open and her thoughts were changing.
The sound of wind and rain that had stopped for a while outside the window began to sound here, and the raindrops pattered on the window, making people confused and unable to sleep.
*****
Despite traveling through many years, Fang Jun still cannot fully integrate into the lifestyle of this society. He really can't figure out why his wife can make such ridiculous demands so naturally?
Because his sister will probably not get married, she will be lonely and helpless in her old age, and let her husband have a child with her sister...
As expected of the Tang Dynasty, which had an open folk custom, it was simply unbelievable.
If this were placed in the Ming and Qing dynasties when Neo-Confucianism was rising... Well, it doesn't seem to be a big deal? In a society where men are superior to women, men's status and privileges are far beyond imagination.
Alas, this evil old society...
Early in the morning, Fang Jun got up with dark circles under his eyes. The light rain outside the window still didn't stop, soaking every inch of the land, and the air was a little damp and cold.
There was no way to exercise today. After breakfast and changing into his official uniform, Fang Jun rushed to the Yamen of the Ministry of War in a carriage under the protection of the soldiers.
Entering the check-in room, he found that Jin Wang Li Zhi had arrived one step earlier than him...
"Your Highness is in good spirits. It's raining and very cold, so you got up so early."
Asking someone to make a cup of hot tea, Fang Jun sat in Li Zhi's duty room and said with a smile.
Li Zhi yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said with a forced smile: "My father went on a personal expedition and left the prince brother to supervise the country. This Guanzhong is not stable. Naturally, I should do my duty and help the prince brother stabilize Guanzhong. Don’t let anything go wrong and affect your father’s Eastern Expedition.”
This is of course an official cliché. Could he still tell Fang Jun that Changsun Wuji had specifically told him to follow Fang Jun before leaving and keep his eyes wide open to prevent Fang Jun from digging a hole for him with evil intentions? Trip, if you are not careful and fall into a treacherous trick, you may make a big mistake and lose your qualification to compete for the throne?
Although the prince's brother is kind, no one around him is easy to get along with. Whether it is Fang Jun, Li Daozong, or Ma Zhou, they are all cunning and cunning people. If they really make up their minds to trick him, they will not blink an eye. ……
So he had to keep his eyes open all the time and be vigilant even when sleeping, otherwise once he was tricked, he would probably be doomed.
Fang Jun seemed to be unable to understand Li Zhi's haggard and anxious mood, and nodded happily: "That's right. Your Highness is smart and quick, and he knows everything about government affairs. The affairs in this military department are complicated, including the entire army's logistics and troop deployment. Handled, It is difficult for Weichen to take care of everything on his own, and mistakes will inevitably occur. Since His Highness holds the position of 'Inspector of the Ministry of War', you might as well help Weichen to stabilize the Ministry of War. There are some matters that can be handled as appropriate, and you can inform Weichen later. "
After his repeated efforts, the power of the Ministry of War has been greatly increased. It can be said that the entire logistics of the Eastern Expedition is on the Ministry of War. As the war deepens, it will inevitably bear huge pressure. Li Zhi has absolutely outstanding abilities and understands the situation clearly. He would never dare to make any trouble at this time and affect the Eastern Expedition plan. Isn't such free manpower in vain?
We can also use this to convey our "loyalty to the royal family" attitude to the outside world. Look, the King of Jin went to the Ministry of War to seize power. Instead of resisting, we tried our best to cooperate. How noble...
But Li Zhi didn't think so.
It was true that Guo came to the Ministry of War with the purpose of seizing the power of the Ministry of War. However, since then he has been passive everywhere, especially the shortage of money in the Foundry Bureau and the transportation of ordnance. Be wary.
He still understands the principle of "doing more and making more mistakes". The most important thing now is to keep an eye on Fang Jun and don't let him dig a hole for himself. How can he rush to give the other party a chance to trap him?
Now he is like a frightened bird. As soon as he hears about the affairs of the Ministry of War, he subconsciously feels that there must be a deep hole and must stay away immediately...
He quickly shook his head and said: "I don't dare to take this responsibility! When my father sent me to the Ministry of War, on the one hand, my brother-in-law was being suspended and asked me to take on some responsibilities. On the other hand, my father also wanted me to learn more from my brother-in-law. The Eastern Expedition is in full swing right now, and there is no room for mistakes in the expedition. I am young and inexperienced. How can I take on such an important task? "
Fang Jun blinked and took a sip of tea, and then he understood why Li Zhi refused so simply.
This kid is scared...
He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and looked at Li Zhi with great interest. At this moment, Cui Dunli knocked on the door and came in, looking for him to review the documents. He smiled and asked: "It is precisely because this is an extraordinary period that your Highness should have the courage to take responsibility. Who will do the work?" Will there never be any mistakes? The Ministry of War is now responsible for all logistical matters of the Eastern Expedition. This is both a challenge and a problem. Opportunity. As long as His Highness handles his duties conscientiously, he will naturally be rated as "superior", his prestige will increase, and people in the world will praise him. However, if you are blindly afraid of making mistakes and dare not take responsibility, others will think that Your Highness has nothing to do with it. Having no responsibility and no ability is not good for the reputation. ”
Seeing Fang Jun picking up the tea cup and drinking water, Li Zhi was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. He wanted to rush up and bite this guy hard!
So wicked! (End of chapter)
