Chapter 3027 Tryst at Taoist Temple
After getting excited, Cui Dunli said apologetically: "From now on, Duke Yue will have to pay more attention to the ministry."
Now Fang Jun is the Minister of the Ministry of War, the natural leader of the Ministry of War. However, Fang Jun is not greedy for power and is willing to delegate power. So Cui Dunli, the left minister, has taken on more and more important tasks, including almost all important tasks. He has to handle all the ministry affairs.
When Cui Dunli was sent to Tuyuhun as an envoy, Fang Jun could only handle more of the ministry affairs. The right minister, Guo Fushan, was affable and very popular, but he lacked a lot of ability.
Fang Jun smiled and said: "You should thank His Highness."
Li Zhi was stunned and said hurriedly: "No, no, I have little talent and little knowledge. How can I handle such a heavy responsibility? The Duke of Yue needs to work harder."
He is sitting in the Ministry of War, with the word "inspection" on his head. Even though he has the power of supervision and has the power to intervene in all affairs of the Ministry of War, it definitely does not mean that he is willing to take over all these ministry affairs.
He could see clearly now that the entire Ministry of War had been managed by Fang Jun like a monolith, and everything needed to be carried out according to Fang Jun's will. Even if His Highness the King of Jin one day became the real Minister of the Ministry of War, he would still be ignored.
The Eastern Expedition is currently in full swing, and the Ministry of War is responsible for all logistics supplies and baggage dispatch of the army. It can be said that it has a heavy responsibility, and any negligence will be a serious crime.
Under such circumstances, it is no longer just a matter of "doing more and making more mistakes", but as long as Fang Jun wants him to make mistakes, he will definitely make mistakes...
He only needs to sit in charge of the Ministry of War and bear the responsibility of supervision. If the Ministry of War makes mistakes, he will not do anything else, and if there are achievements, he will not be able to escape his share.
Only if you have a broken head would you take over the power of the Ministry of War at this time...
Li Zhi looked like the little white rabbit was afraid of the big bad wolf, which made Fang Jun speechless.
What about trust between people?
It’s as if we are a bad guy who specializes in harming innocent young people...
He told Cui Dunli: "Arrange all the matters at hand properly. It will probably take only a day or two for the trip to be completed, and arrangements must be made at home."
"Here! Let's do this humble job."
Cui Dunli walked out happily.
The mission to Tuyuhun was indeed a matter of both crisis and opportunity. Even if the mission could not be completed, it would be a great achievement as long as the officials of the Tang Dynasty could maintain their integrity. When I talk about my merits in the future, I, the Zuo Shilang, will definitely be promoted. The six ministers may still be lacking, but the minister of Jiu Temple is not unable to think about it.
That would make him a proper official of the imperial court. Under normal circumstances, if he wanted to be promoted to that position, he would have to endure at least ten years of hard work...
Watching Cui Dunli walk out, Fang Jun took a sip of tea and turned back to Li Zhi and said, "Your Highness doesn't know a good heart. Haven't you always been seeking the Ministry of War? Now that the minister is willing to give in to the wise and entrust the affairs of the Ministry of War to him, you are acting... The thought of being deceived really chills Wei Chen’s heart.”
Li Zhi sneered and said: "Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years. Mr. Yue, you are cunning and ruthless. I admire you very much and submit to you, but I dare not try to get involved in the affairs of the Ministry of War. Who knows if there will be any Is there a big pit waiting for me? Humph, my father is not in Chang'an now. If I fall into the pit again, not only will no one help me, but there will be many people who will fall into trouble."
< br>
He prides himself on being smart, but he has never benefited from Fang Jun's hands. Instead, he has been tricked again and again. At this time, it is natural to "do less, make fewer mistakes, and do not do well", so he will not stupidly pounce on any benefits he sees, otherwise I don’t know how I was tricked to death.
He was too afraid of Fang Jun, the prince's "eagle dog", and was always on guard...
Fang Jun laughed loudly: "Your Highness is not only too cautious, but also underestimates Wei Chen's character. Although Wei Chen is not an honest person, he never takes the initiative to scheme against others. In this dynasty, everyone is intrigued and eager to kill his opponent. Defeat them all. Compared with them, Wei Chen is as pure as a white lotus, and can be called harmless to humans and animals. ”
Li Zhi couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
Harmless to humans and animals? hehe.
Fang Jun finished the tea and asked, "I am going to eat vegetarian food outside the city. Your Highness, would you like to go with me?"
Li Zhi was immediately interested: "That's really good. Today's light rain makes everything rich. Eating a vegetarian meal and drinking a pot of rice wine is indeed a joy in life!"
The Li family is "committed to Buddhism and Taoism". They can not only cultivate their mind in the clean room, but also seek immortality in Taoist temples. Almost everyone likes to eat vegetarian food.
Seeing Fang Jun stand up, Li Zhi also stood up, sorted out the documents on the desk, and asked casually: "Where to eat?"
Fang Jun said: "Songfeng Temple in Zhongnan Mountain."
"Uh..."
Li Zhi paused for a moment, then frowned and said: "I suddenly remembered that there are still some matters in the palace that have not been dealt with. Let's forget about it this time. Next time, I will find a place and invite my brother-in-law to come together. ”
Songfengguan is the place where Sister Changle practices Taoism. This guy blatantly ran over to have a tryst with Sister Changle. Why did I go there?
I'm afraid that if I haven't eaten the vegetarian food, I will be kicked out by Sister Changle!
With their father away from Chang'an, these two people are becoming more and more unscrupulous, and they don't even shy away from it...
Of course, Li Zhi is not that kind of moral gentleman. Princess Changle is still unmarried after the divorce, and she is in love with Fang Jun. In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with it. People, you have to pursue the happiness you yearn for, right? As the saying goes, "If there is a flower, it needs to be cut off." No matter what the ethics and etiquette are!
If a person cannot be happy with his grudges and pursue what he likes in his life, then why should he work hard to get ahead? What is the use of such power and wealth?
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Then next time?"
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Next time, next time!"
"The minister will retire for the time being."
"Well, it's time for my king to take action. The Duke of Yue will take the first step."
……
After leaving the Ministry of War Yamen, the light rain had gradually turned into a torrent, and water was flowing in the streets and alleys. Fortunately, the drainage facilities in the imperial city were good, otherwise it would have caused waterlogging.
Fang Jun put on his raincoat and bamboo hat at the entrance hall, went out and mounted his war horse. Surrounded by his soldiers, he left the Zhuque Gate and walked south along the long street, exited the Mingde Gate, and followed the official road straight into Zhongnan Mountain. boundary. Zhongnan Mountain in the rain is quiet and beautiful, with no birds to be seen. The trees and flowers on the mountains are washed by the rain and become vivid and green. Riding a horse galloping on the path between the secluded forests is quite poetic.
When they arrived at the gate of Songfeng Temple, a palace maid in Taoist robes had already heard the sound of horse hooves waiting there. When Fang Jun turned over and dismounted, she stepped forward to wait on him, wearing a coir raincoat and bamboo hat, and welcomed him into the mountain gate.
Everything is so natural, just like welcoming the owner home, no one feels unfamiliar...
In the alchemy room, Princess Changle was dressed in Taoist robes and had a slender figure. She was kneeling in front of the coffee table. A small red clay stove with charcoal fire was burning next to her. The silver kettle on the stove was "gurgling" with white steam. When she heard Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw it was Fang Jun walking in. He smiled and said softly: "The spring is opening. Let's drink a pot of tea first. The vegetarian food will have to wait."
Fang Jun smiled and said: "I happen to be thirsty. Let's drink a cup of hot tea to drive away the moisture."
Then he walked forward and knelt down opposite Princess Changle.
Princess Changle smiled lightly, washed the tea set with bare hands, then used a bamboo spoon to take tea leaves from the clay pot and put it in the teapot. Then she lifted the kettle and poured the boiled spring water into the teapot. The whole action was pleasing to the eye.
She has a delicate face and picturesque eyebrows. Her hair is tied into a bun of green silk and fixed with a jade hairpin, revealing her slender and elegant neck. She has a graceful figure. She is wearing a Taoist robe that shows her slenderness and exquisiteness. It is even more elegant than the most gorgeous palace attire. It is full of charm and has a touch of feminine charm.
Feeling a little embarrassed by Fang Jun's burning gaze, Princess Changle glared at Fang Jun angrily with her beautiful eyes, pursed her lips, and scolded: "Drink tea! What are you looking at? You're a slut!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but cover his lips and smile.
The title "Deng Tuzi" is still the comment given by Princess Gaoyang when she first met Fang Jun. This reminded her of the joke that is still circulated among the ladies and girls of Chang'an, "From now on, you will only You must be kind to me alone; you must pamper me, "You can't lie to me; you must do everything you promise me" and "Every word you say to me must be sincere. Don't lie to me, scold me, and care about me; when others bully me, you must be sincere." Come out and help me at the first moment..."
It's so hilarious. How can a man who hides his dignity say such shameless words?
This man seems to be completely different from the men in the world. It seems that as long as you see him, your heart will feel infinitely peaceful. This is the place where I practice, but now it has become a place for the two of them to have a tryst. How can I still think about cultivating and asking questions... (End of this chapter)
