Zhou Daowu kept his attitude very low today. He didn't care about others saying that he was "flattery" and "spineless". He just thought that if he could please Fang Jun, let him put aside his past grudges and help him in the future, then even if he was criticized by others I also endured the ridicule.
And he lowered his status in public, almost showing his kindness to Fang Jun in a "groveling" manner, but what he got in return was such a direct and unkind rejection from Fang Jun...
In any case, this is no different than a slap in the face in public.
He was already narrow-minded, so he immediately snorted angrily and said nothing.
Although everyone else knew that Fang Jun was not giving Zhou Daowu face, they didn't take it seriously. Do they really think that since Fang Er is in a high position and has great power, he can be broad-minded and forget about it? Haha, people have the wrong names, but there are no wrong nicknames.
Is the reputation of "Fang Er Bang Chui" a waste of money...
Others were inevitably disappointed when they saw that Fang Jun refused to compose poetry, but they turned around and started drinking again, and the atmosphere became lively again.
Fang Jun didn't even look at Zhou Daowu, he didn't even try to figure out his thoughts, and he didn't care if Zhou Daowu couldn't get off the stage... By the way, what kind of friendship do we have? Am I afraid you will be angry? Back then, I dared to press you Zhou Daowu and beat him to death in front of His Majesty Li Er. Today, if you dare to say even a few unpleasant words, I will deal with you the same way.
Pulling Zhi Wansili and Xue Wanche beside him, he toasted again and again.
Chai Lingwu on the other side sighed inwardly. He admired Fang Jun's aloofness and free will, but he was also entangled in the scandal between his wife and Fang Jun. He wanted to go up and have a few drinks with Fang Jun to make amends and get back together, but he was worried about others. Thinking that he was "selling his wife for glory", he felt extremely uncomfortable.
By the way, why did I lose my mind back then and slap that brick on this guy's head regardless?
It would be fine if he were beaten to death. Anyway, there would be no one around, and there would be no evidence to prove his death. I would be much more comfortable if this scourge was eliminated.
However, that one brick seemed to have "opened up" this guy. After he woke up, he was completely different from before, and he looked like a different person. Not only was his literary and military skills unparalleled in the world, but he also won the favor and favor of Emperor Taizong. From then on, he rose through the ranks and was promoted and made meritorious deeds. The speed is unmatched by others.
God is blind...
……
The banquet went very smoothly. No matter what thoughts were hidden in private, at least they were respectful in front of Li Chengqian. After two consecutive defeats and setbacks, many people had to be afraid of Li Chengqian's strength. They were afraid at the same time. , but also respect.
Of course, this does not affect small actions in private...
After the banquet, Li Chengqian and Queen Su gave some royal gifts. They may not be worth much, but they have great symbolic meaning and represent the emperor's respect for these royal relatives and dignitaries.
The king and his ministers enjoy themselves.
After the banquet dispersed, everyone took the gifts given by the emperor and left, leaving the Tai Chi Palace.
It is rare to have such an opportunity to connect with each other and hand over relationships. They handed over the gifts given by the emperor to their followers and took them back to their homes. They formed groups in twos and threes, or found a secluded place or a place for fireworks to continue. Drink and have fun.
Fang Jun, Zhi Wansili and Xue Wanche had already made an appointment. After leaving the Tai Chi Palace, they took a car together and drove away. Zhou Daowu, who was waiting at the palace gate and wanted to try harder, gave up completely.
This Bangchui seems to be arrogant and generous, but in fact he is petty and vindictive. He is a vengeful person. If he wants to improve his relationship with him, it will be difficult to reach the sky...
Just as Chai Lingwu came out, Zhou Daowu forced out a smile and invited: "If Duke Qiao has nothing to do, why not find a place to have a few drinks? We just had a banquet and couldn't enjoy it to the fullest."
In recent years, his relationship with the consorts has become a lot alienated, which is not good. It makes him unable to control the situation of the center, which is a great disadvantage. He does not want to stay in a bitter and cold place like Yingzhou, so he must be transferred back to the center.
Chai Lingwu now has a very bad reputation among the princes-in-law, and they all think that he has no backbone for "selling his wife for glory". He often interacts with him in private, but openly refuses to get close to him, which makes him very upset. Zhou Daowu took the initiative to say Well, he was flattered.
Just as they were waiting for their approval, they saw a group of people coming out of Chengtian Gate. Several royal family princes and county princes were surrounding Li Shenfu. Chai Lingwu and Zhou Daowu hurriedly stepped aside to let Li Shenfu go first.
Unexpectedly, a group of people were approaching. Li Shenfu smiled and asked everyone to go ahead. After a group of princes and princes had left, he smiled and said to Zhou and Chai: "Although I am old, I like it the most." Together with young people, we can make I feel energetic. If you two like me, why don't you go to my house and have a drink? I heard that I was angry with Fang Er at the banquet just now. Please tell me and I will seek justice for you. "
Zhou Daowu was immediately flattered and responded quickly: "I have my wish and I dare not refuse."
What he lacks most now is the central heel. Although Li Shenfu has no power, he is the highest-ranking person in the Li Tang royal family. His reputation and qualifications are unmatched. Naturally, he is surrounded by a group of people who can compete with him. If you have good connections, you can take advantage of them even if you take the clan route.
Chai Lingwu hesitated for a moment and declined politely: "Thank you very much for the favor of the Prince of Xiangyi. However, my princess has prepared wine and food for the whole family to celebrate the festival. I have to rush back to the mansion and cannot go to the appointment with the Duke."
Li Shenfu was not angry because of being rejected. He still smiled broadly and nodded: "Your Chai family has suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy losses. Should you keep a low profile and keep a low profile? You should not have too much contact with me, a member of the clan. Or should you? Duoduo leans towards His Majesty and Fang Jun... Haha, I understand, there is no need to be embarrassed, Duke Qiao. "
After saying this, he boarded the car and left with Zhou Daowu.
Chai Lingwu watched the two people's carriages go away and snorted.
Do you really think he is stupid?
Now the situation within the clan is gathering momentum, and it is ready to explode. Although we don't know what the real situation is, once it is launched, the target will definitely be the emperor and the "Emperor Party" headed by Fang Jun, and a huge storm may be about to break out.
But the question is, what capabilities does the clan have now? Even if they want to mutiny, they can’t even gather the troops and horses...
The reason why the Chai family has fallen to this day and even lost the military power to control the Zuotun Guard is because they did not stand on His Majesty's side during two consecutive mutinies, leading to a direct confrontation with Fang Jun both times?
It is fashionable to have strong soldiers and strong horses and was beaten to a pulp by Fang Jun. Can it be done now?
Can't beat it, really can't beat it...
He has long lost his original ambitions. He doesn't want to be exiled to the ice and snow of the vast sea like his elder brother, so he can honestly inherit the title of Qiao Guogong and be a prince consort, so that no matter who takes the position, he can enjoy it in peace and security. Prosperity and wealth are enough.
Why bother messing around with that group of people?
After many twists and turns, he understood a truth: If you don't seek death, you won't die.
*****
Pingkangfang, Zuixian Tower.
When the old bustard saw Fang Jun, who was dressed in brocade robes and had an imposing manner, he walked into the lobby with Zhi Shisi Li and Xue Wanche. He felt a little cramped in his calves and hurriedly stepped forward with an apologetic smile: "It turns out it's An Guo Gong, Yue Guo Gong, and Wu'an County. In front of you, you are really shining. Come on, please come in.”
Although the Madam and Turtle Master of Zuixian Tower have changed more than once, the "prestige" left by Fang Jun here has been widely passed down. Today, Fang Jun has become the prime minister of the dynasty and holds great power, but he has always Leave your name on the "least welcome list" of Zuixian Tower The top of the list, after all, almost every time this guy comes, he ends up making a fuss and a lot of excitement. That is to say, the owner behind this place, Hejian County King, is really tough. If it were a different owner, I am afraid that it would have closed down a long time ago...< br>
However, the "least popular list" can only mean that the people on the list are difficult to serve, but it does not mean that they can be turned away. On the contrary, the higher they are on the list, the more careful they must be served to avoid misfortune. The setbacks ruined the business.
Fang Jun walked into the lobby with his hands behind his back, looked the old bustard up and down, and asked curiously: "New here?"
The madam is young and not very aristocratic, but he looks somewhat dignified, which is really surprising... Where did Prince Hejian get such a person?
"Thanks to the trust of my employer, I have been entrusted with the important task of managing the business here, but I have always heard of the name of Duke Yue. I am truly lucky to be able to serve you today."
There was a smile on his face and his words were sincere, as if he really admired Fang Jun's reputation, without much flattery, which made people feel like spring breeze.
Fang Jun nodded and praised: "Your boss has a vision."
Zhi lost his thoughts on the side and said: "Arrange a secluded building and let your leader come over and play a tune or sing a tune. Don't let too many people disturb you."
The old bustard quickly agreed: "Three outstanding martial arts and heroes of the world, I am the best girl to go to accompany you... Please go to the backyard as a slave."
But he secretly complained in his heart that Fang Jun, the top star of Zuixian Tower, had caused many disasters, especially Miss Mingyue, who was the most beautiful girl in Chang'an back then. She disappeared without a trace and her life and death were unknown...
But these three people came hand in hand, and she didn't even dare to say a word to stop them. She led the three of them to the backyard, called the top girl Huansha in the building, arranged food and drinks, and bowed out worriedly. .
Xue Wanche's eyes followed the madam's slim waist until she disappeared at the door...
"Why, are you interested?"
Fang Jun felt funny seeing Xue Wanche's somewhat absent-minded look.
There are so many fresh and juicy little girls who don't like any of them, but they fall in love with the old madam who still has the charm?
Tasteful...
Xue Wanche rubbed his hands, laughed, and whispered: "I feel good."
Fang Jun rolled his eyes: "Okay, that's your own business. You can do whatever you want. Duke An Guo and I will definitely keep it secret, but if the news is leaked afterwards, don't think about us going to take the blame for you in front of Princess Danyang." br>
Zhi lost his thoughts and said with a smile: "That's all. That person in your family... I can't afford to offend him."
Xue Wanche immediately withered. As the saying goes, one thing defeats another. He charged into the battle and won the title of the three armies. Only when he faced Princess Danyang at home, he was very obedient and did not dare to say "no" at all. The leader of Zuixian Tower was holding a pipa. Seeing these three people chatting and laughing happily without even looking at her, his self-confidence was suddenly hit and he felt a little aggrieved... He was in his prime, soft and juicy, but... Can't even compare to my own madam?
You three have no vision...
