Chapter 3968: A plan to alienate each other
Li Ji knew Fang Jun's temperament best.
If anyone offends him, he will indeed be punished, but he will never do such despicable things as adding insult to injury. Even if he wants to clean up his affairs, he must be upright and straightforward.
Do you want to make Zhou Daowu's crimes public and induce Fang Jun to frame him for revenge? Then, after a detailed investigation by the Sanfa Division, a "nothing was found", thus blaming Fang Jun for "framing his colleagues"?
I really think too much...
People have their own shortcomings, and they are most afraid of other people's words. A eunuch hates others despising him as a eunuch in front of him. After all, this is the greatest shame for a man. Now that Li Ji pointed his nose and scolded him so unceremoniously, how could Wang Shoushi not do it? anger?
He sneered and nodded slightly: "It would be best if the British public never did anything, but even if Fang Jun does not frame Zhou Daowu this time, our family still has countermeasures. We hope that the British public will not interfere."
Li Ji disagreed: "I am too lazy to ask about your affairs, but I would like to remind you that it is best to stick to the bottom line when doing things, and don't make that guy anxious, otherwise even if His Majesty is sitting here, he will not be able to protect you. You.”
He is just a eunuch. Even if he is favored, Fang Jun will not show any mercy when he kills him...
He really gave Wang Shoushi advice to prevent him from making a big mistake out of ignorance and eventually leading to an uncontrollable situation.
Wang Shoushi didn't appreciate it. He laughed twice and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, Sir, Fang Jun is the humerus of the prince and the pillar of the east palace. Even if the old slave is domineering, how dare he go against him? Even if he has some small calculations, he can take advantage of it. It must be him, maybe I have to thank the old slave, ho ho ho!”
……
Seeing Wang Shoushi's back disappearing from the door, Li Ji leaned back on his chair, frowned in thought for a while, and sighed quietly.
At the moment, it seems that he has hundreds of thousands of troops at his disposal, and with the power of breaking mountains and rocks, he can end the chaos by marching straight into Chang'an. But in fact, he has no control over his own actions, and he is not even as good as a eunuch...
He didn't know why they were targeting Fang Jun, and he didn't know what other conspiracy Wang Shoushi had, and he didn't know whether Fang Jun would fall into the trap due to confusion. He just lamented that this peaceful and prosperous era was hard-won, so why go through so much trouble?
Right and wrong, right and wrong, success and failure are not just something that can be glossed over and hidden by the control of historians. Billions of people in the world open their mouths and pass word of mouth. There will always be praise and blame passed down to future generations. There will be public opinions about what is right and what is wrong.
He shook his head and sighed. He originally planned to go to the camp where the coffin was parked at night, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up the idea.
Let him be...
*****
The suspension bridge outside Chunming Gate was lowered. Li Ji alerted the scouts of Zuowuwei and Youtunwei outside the city, and quickly rushed into the central army to inform the commander. Then the city gate opened, and a group of cavalry galloped out of the city, driving like wind and lingering clouds. Go to the right and guard the camp on the right.
Cheng Yaojin got the message, quickly walked out of the central army tent, rode straight to the front of the army, and happened to see the troops arriving outside the Youtunwei barracks. He visually inspected more than fifty riders, all wearing helmets and armor, and well-equipped. Ordinary soldiers are comparable. At this time, it can only be Fang Jun who comes out of the city and rushes to the Youtunwei camp...
The other party probably also saw Cheng Yaojin standing outside the camp gate surrounded by soldiers. He paused for a moment and did not enter the camp. One of the riders turned around and came back, galloping straight towards the Zuowuwei camp. , and stopped only three arrows away.
Immediately, the knight exhaled and said loudly, "Fang Jun, the last general, please come out to meet Duke Lu in the camp!"
It was a cloudy day today, and the rain was about to fall, so the sound was heard far away. The soldiers and generals in front of the two armies could really hear it, and they were not only in an uproar.
Nowadays, Fang Jun's prestige has reached an unprecedented peak with the defeat of the Guanlong rebels. Even the senior generals of the empire who participated in the founding of the country and the subsequent Xuanwu Gate incident cannot rely on their old age in front of him, just like the military. A new upstart, a big boss.
However, such a pillar of the East Palace and the commander-in-chief of the first army stood arrogantly in front of the army. How brave is this?
Zuo Wuwei made a noise, and many soldiers were furious and ready to take action. Although Fang Jun's behavior was admirable for his courage, he also vaguely ignored Zuo Wuwei. This was intolerable!
Cheng Yaojin flicked his horsewhip and shouted: "Give me some peace of mind! Not to mention that the dignified Duke of Yue is the commander-in-chief of the army and the pillar of the empire. You must not offend him. He is only the most brave and powerful in the three armies. It’s all for nothing if you go! Stay here and don’t move rashly until I go meet this arrogant boy!”
After saying this, he clamped his horse's belly and urged the war horses to march out of the crowd and go straight to Fang Jun who was standing in front of the army.
Less than ten feet apart, Cheng Yaojin reined in his horse and stood still, saying loudly: "I'm going to fight at a single point. Are you trying to bully me into a weak body? Do you want to use your strength to bully an old man? Come on, let's fight for three hundred rounds. What do I want you to know?" Calling Jiang is old and spicy! ”
Fang Jun laughed heartily on horseback, clasped his fists and said, "My uncle is joking. You are an elder. How dare I be disrespectful? It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time since my uncle's Eastern Expedition. I miss you so much that I came up to talk to you." .”
With that said, he jumped off the horse and strolled up to Cheng Yaojin's horse, looking unprepared.
Cheng Yaojin said "Hey", turned over and dismounted, took two steps forward, raised his hand and patted Fang Jun's shoulder, looked up and down, and praised: "I knew you had a future, but I never thought that you would be like this." Big, even we old guys are overpowered by you! The younger generation is awesome, very good, very good!”
He was genuinely happy.
He and Fang Xuanling had a gentlemanly acquaintance, and they greatly admired each other's behavior, but their tempers were different and they couldn't get along. On the contrary, Fang Xuanling is a son who feels comfortable to look at and has a harmonious temperament. He never treats each other as a son or nephew, but more like a peer. Therefore, he is extremely happy with Fang Jun's achievements today.
Even he, the founding father of the country, could not help but be a little jealous when faced with Fang Junzhi's achievements...
Needless to say, donating the glass formula, preparing to build Huating Town, etc. Even if Xue Yantuo was overthrown by troops in Baidao, which attracted the attention of the world and amazed everyone, it cannot be compared with the achievements made in this year.
When the whole country was on an eastern expedition, the capital was empty, and foreign enemies invaded, Fang Jun stepped forward and led half of the Youtun Guards to fight thousands of miles away, defeating powerful enemies such as Tuyuhun, Turks, and Dashi along the way. When Chang'an was in turmoil, several more He rushed thousands of miles to the aid of the East Palace and defeated the Guanlong rebels in one fell swoop. This feat of Conglong who held up the sky to protect the country was unparalleled in the world.
Not to mention that after the Eastern Expedition army returned in defeat, the Royal Navy that contributed to the pacification of Rangcheng and the overthrow of Goguryeo was also Fang Jun's army...
This achievement in the past year alone is worthy of the praise of "amazing talent and beauty". In the history books, he is probably a person who needs to be singled out for a separate biography...
The light shines like no other in the world.
Fang Jun and Cheng Yaojin stood opposite each other and said humbly: "In front of my uncle, how can I, a junior, dare to boast about my minor achievements? In the past, my uncle had the merit of founding the country and serving as a leader. He had already reached the pinnacle of military merit. He should work hard for half his life and enjoy it for the rest of his life. The younger generation is just starting out, so they can only make dangerous and enterprising steps, and dare not slack off in following the footsteps of their uncle. ”
Cheng Yaojin stroked his beard, sneered "Hey" and glared at Fang Jun.
These words may seem like compliments, but in fact they are secretly thorny: You are buried up to your neck in loess. You should rest on your credit book and enjoy the merits that you have worked hard for for the past half of your life. Why do you have to join in this chaotic situation like us young people by fighting for life and death? ? If you accidentally end up losing your insurance at the end of the festival, you will suffer a big loss...
Ignoring Fang Jun's sarcasm, Cheng Yaojin glanced at the Chunming Gate Tower not far away and said with emotion: "The so-called 'those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black'. What kind of friends a person has probably determines him." status and level. You are a naughty dog. You have made a name for yourself in the past few years. I am very relieved and will not say many words of gratitude. I will keep it in my heart.”
Aristocratic families naturally follow the rules of "ancestral succession". Only the eldest son inherits the family business and title. The rest of the heirs are either left idle and left to die, or they work hard and go through hardships. Even if they have great ambitions and ambitions, How difficult is it for Feiyang's children to get ahead?
Cheng Chubi was hanging out with Fang Jun, and there were also a group of dandies such as Li Siwen and Qu Tuquan who ran rampant in Guanzhong and caused countless troubles. He was once called the "Pest of Chang'an". You can see how bad his behavior was, and even His Majesty Li Er was angry. Punishment endlessly.
Who would have thought that under the leadership of Fang Jun, this group of dandy boys who were originally rebellious and had a bad record would suddenly make great achievements when the empire was in turmoil?
Fang Jun smiled and shook his head: "Chu Bi is my brother, and I should help each other, but his achievements now are due to fighting with real swords and spears. I dare not take credit. But having said that, if the prince leaves the city the day after tomorrow, Chu Bi will inevitably Leading troops to protect the prince, I will take a look at you then When our father and son are facing each other, it is your uncle who has a sword that never grows old, but Chu Bi who is a formidable young man! It’s just that he has no eyesight with swords and guns, and uncle must be careful not to be damaged in the military formation, so that Chu Bi can finally avenge the beatings and scoldings he has received from you all these years. The hatred of reprimand..."
Cheng Yaojin ignored Fang Jun's sarcasm and snorted: "If you guys have the ability, just use it. If you really want to kill me, I have no complaints. I will even praise you a few times!" < br>
As he spoke, his eyes could not help but look at the Chunming Gate Tower in the distance, and he felt mixed feelings in his heart...
If the Shandong family really ignored it and asked him to lead the troops to prevent the prince from leaving the city, would he risk a father-son confrontation in order to go further?
What if we are really careless and one of the father and son dies in the military battle, is it worth it...
After a long time, Cheng Yaojin walked away and cursed: "How could Fang Xuanling, an upright and gentle gentleman, give birth to such a cunning and cunning person like you? This estrangement plan may bring shame to your Fang family!" ( End of chapter)
