Chapter 4015 Internal Troubles of the Royal Family
The King of Han, Li Yuanjia, led a group of servants and hurried from the inner courtyard to the main entrance. As soon as they arrived behind the door, they heard the impatient tone of someone outside the door: "Come here, open this door. I want to see what is happening in Prince Han's Mansion." What kind of rule is it that excludes me? ”
"Here!"
One of the soldiers agreed angrily, followed by a burst of war horses neighing, which frightened Li Yuanjia behind the door to shout: "Wait a moment, Erlang, I am here to greet you personally!"
He quickly asked someone to open the middle door and welcome Fang Jun inside.
According to etiquette, Fang Jun was not qualified to let the prince's palace open the middle door, but now Li Yuanjia was sweating profusely, fearing that the mallet would be angry and smash his door again regardless, causing an uproar in the whole city and damaging the prince's face. There is nothing left, and I can’t care about so much for a while...
When the door opened, Li Yuanjia took a long breath. Fortunately, he arrived in time. A dozen strong soldiers were already lined up in front of the door and were about to attack the door. If he had taken that step at night, the door of the palace would have collapsed.
The guards and servants in the palace were trembling and didn't know what to do.
Li Yuanjia smiled bitterly and said: "Why is Erlang still as impatient as before? This Prince Han's Mansion is your home. You can come and leave when you want. The servants were afraid of your prestige, so they rushed inside to report, and failed to do so immediately. Open the door to greet them, you don’t have to be familiar with them.”
The deep sense of humiliation in these words made everyone in the palace blush. It can be seen that His Highness is really afraid of the house, and he doesn't care about any decency or face...
Fang Jun seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He walked across the threshold and entered the door. He clicked his tongue a few times and said slowly: "The humble minister is also a prince after all. How can he be so arrogant and angry with a servant?"
< br>
Li Yuanjia hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, pigs and dogs are the same thing. You can't get angry with them."
Fang Jun continued: "...even if I want to relieve my anger, I have to do so with His Highness, King Han."
Li Yuanjia: "..."
He really didn't dare to provoke Fang Jun now. The military power was taken away by Guo. It was a great shame and humiliation for anyone, and it also ruined his official career. You can imagine the anger in his heart. Even if His Majesty Li Er didn't feel guilty, he would definitely find a way. Be comforted. If I accidentally triggered his anger and simply vented it in Prince Han's Mansion, could I point to His Majesty Li Er to support him?
He could only say with a wry smile: "There is no place to talk in front of the door. Erlang, come in quickly. The princess has ordered people to prepare a banquet and is waiting for you to sit down. I am so lucky to have a few drinks with you today, Erlang."
< br>
Fang Jun walked towards the house and said with a smile: "Hey, Your Highness, are you provoking me? In this case, I have no choice but to sacrifice my life to accompany you. I won't come back until I'm drunk today!"
Li Yuanjia: "..."
I almost want to give myself a slap in the face. There are really only a few people in Chang'an City who can match Fang Jun in terms of drinking capacity. It's not enough for him to get me drunk even with my own drinking capacity... It's just a polite word, why does it involve drinking?
I can only explain it later by saying that I am busy with official duties and dare not delay His Majesty’s important event of offering sacrifices to heaven. I will definitely have to be forced to death...
The two of them entered the inner courtyard side by side and arrived at the flower hall. Waiting maids stood outside the door and respectfully stood on both sides to salute.
As soon as he stepped into the flower hall, he saw Princess Han, Princess Fang, standing there in her regular clothes with a slim figure. Her pretty face was filled with joy and joy, and she waved to Fang Jun: "Erlang, come here, let me see!"
Due to the mutiny, the city of Chang'an was closed inside and outside for a long time. Important ministers such as Fang Jun and Li Yuanjia who could influence the situation were too busy to do anything. They had not come to visit them for a long time, so Fang missed him very much.
Erlang is neither the eldest nor the youngest in the Fang family, but he is the pillar of support for the next generation of the Fang family. He loves her sister even more. Fang naturally likes and values it...
Fang Jun stepped forward with a smile, a warm smile on his face, and saluted respectfully: "Wei Chen has met the princess..."
"Oh, my sister and brother, why do you need these false gifts? Hurry up and take a seat. My sister asked the servants to prepare all your favorite dishes. It's just that you came in a bit of a hurry, so they can be prepared later. Sit down and drink tea first. ”
Fang took Fang Jun's hand and sat down. She looked up and down at her younger brother. She really liked him more and more, and the smile on her lips was like a blooming flower.
Blood is thicker than water, and the relationship between siblings has become even more precious after going through a period of war and chaos.
The maid served tea, and the three of them sat down around the round table. Fang poured tea for her husband and brother with her own hands. Li Yuanjia took a sip of tea and asked, "Erlang is here today, but do you have anything to do?"
Mrs. Fang then said coquettishly: "Why can't we wait until after the meal? Are you reluctant to part with a banquet and want to see off the guests after Erlang has finished his business?"
Li Yuanjia looked aggrieved: "How could I, the king, have such thoughts? The princess has wronged me too much! Although Erlang is your brother, I treat him like a brother and sister. Even my king's warehouse can be used by Erlang. Come in and out as you please, take whatever you want.”
Fang sneered: "That's because Erlang has much more money than you, the prince, and you deliberately said this knowing that he didn't care about the money and treasures. If he was so poor that he came to your door every day to catch the autumn breeze, you would still say this. ?”
Li Yuanjia was choked and unable to refute.
Although these words were a bit harsh, they were the truth and Li Yuanjia could not refute them. The reason why he valued Fang Jun, and even had a sense of awe, and let Fang Jun smash the door of his house and do whatever he wanted, was precisely because this brother-in-law was capable, talented, and promising. If the actual situation is the opposite, Fang Jun is still the arrogant, ignorant, dull and irritable playboy of the past. Do you really think that the dignified prince can let him do whatever he wants?
Therefore, even a close relative like a brother-in-law will inevitably measure his status by his achievements...
Fang Jun saw Li Yuanjia choked on a sentence and said with a smile: "Sister, why do you need to be harsh? Even though His Highness the King of Han has all kinds of faults and mistakes, it is worth it just to obey my sister's words and never disobey her." I cherish my sister so much. This generation, everyone in the family is happy for my sister to be able to meet a good match. Besides, why has His Highness ever been as unworthy as you said? Apart from such minor shortcomings as lust, he can be regarded as a handsome young man and a distinguished figure in the royal family. ”
Li Yuanjia: "..."
Are you kidding for me, or are you digging a hole for me?
Fang glanced at Li Yuanjia shyly, and said to Fang Jun: "This man has a noble status, but he is lustful but not bold. He drools when he sees a pretty girl. You can't imitate him."< br>
Fang Jun nodded repeatedly: "Sister is very perceptive and has a sharp gaze. She can see through the true nature of His Royal Highness King Han at a glance. She is really amazing."
Li Yuanjia: "..."
Your boy promised to help me convince your sister to allow me to take a concubine, but now why does this seem to make me completely stop thinking about it?
The maids began to put the dishes prepared in the kitchen on the table. Fang held a pot and poured wine for Fang Jun. She said happily: "Your two children were taken to the south of the Yangtze River by their father. I was really panicking about it, but I couldn't help it." No way. If you are young and strong, hurry up and buy more rooms. Concubine, having children is a big deal. We have to make our family prosperous! In a few days, my sister will give you baba bala in the circle of nobles. A legitimate daughter is not allowed, but a concubine will marry. You don’t insult them by being a concubine.”
Li Yuanjia: "..."
Princess, do you really mean what you say? Don’t be so serious about double standards, okay?
If I take a concubine, you will pick on me, and your brother will take the initiative to drag women into the room?
He quickly picked up the cup and clinked it with Fang Jun, and asked: "Why did Erlang come here?"
Fang Jun stopped giving him eye drops, told him that the prince wanted to return to the East Palace, and asked Zongzheng Temple to repair and decorate the East Palace on his behalf.
Li Yuanjia was silent for a moment and sighed: "The prince of the empire has no fixed residence...it's very annoying."
Because he was at home, even though Fang Jun was always trying to fill him in, he was still his brother-in-law, so he didn't expect that the walls had ears, and the resentment in his words was vented.
To this day, His Majesty Li Er's determination to change the throne has aroused the dissatisfaction of most people in the government and the public. After all, except for those speculators, who wants the government to remain in turmoil?
After sighing with emotion, Li Yuanjia quickly calmed down: "Erlang went back to inform His Highness the Crown Prince, asking him to rest assured that I will try to complete the rough arrangement of the East Palace within three days, welcome the Crown Prince back to the East Palace, and follow up with repairs and construction. After all, the East Palace was severely damaged and it would take a year and a half to fully recover.”
It is not difficult to repair the East Palace. The difficulty is that after His Majesty returns to the Tai Chi Palace, all human, financial and material resources must be given priority to the Tai Chi Palace. If the East Palace wants to start repairs at the same time, it must communicate with the Yamen responsible for the construction of the Tai Chi Palace. This task Li Yuanjia is the best.
Seeing Li Yuanjia agreeing so happily, Fang Jun expressed great admiration: "Your Highness understands the righteousness, and I thank you on behalf of the prince."
The reason why the prince was driven to the right guard camp outside Xuanwu Gate was because of His Majesty Li Er's deliberate suppression. At this moment, whoever advises the prince to return to the East Palace and who is responsible for repairing the palace for the prince is most likely to suffer the hostility and even hostility of His Majesty Li Er. anger.
For Da Zongzheng, who represents the royal family, this is a thankless task...
Li Yuanjia sighed, clinked glasses with Fang Jun and drank in one gulp, and said helplessly: "In fact, there are many opponents within the royal family to His Majesty's firm attitude towards Yi Chu. Who doesn't want to live a stable life? Besides, Yi Chu is implicated. It’s so important that no one will be involved. It’s just that His Majesty is so powerful that no one dares to speak out.”
Do you really dare to be angry and dare not speak out? I'm afraid that's not the case. Even if Li Yuanjing is killed, the royal family will not be monolithic. There will always be a shortage of ambitious people. What everyone lacks is just an opportunity... (End of Chapter)
