The snow is falling outside the window, the red lights are shining, the room is warm as spring, the pipa is playing beautifully, and a group of friends are drinking at the table, enjoying themselves and enjoying themselves.
Girl Huansha is sitting on the hoofeng, with a slender and straight waist, holding the pipa in her arms, her slender jade fingers like onion tubes brushing the strings, the melody is melodious and the artistic conception is far-reaching. Staring at the beaded curtain in front of her, her lips pursed, feeling a little resentful and a little angry.
I want to be a dignified oiran of Zuixianlou, famous far and wide, making a sound in Chang'an, but I can only be like a diva walking around the streets, playing small songs on the side, and can't even see my boss...< br>
What a shame!
The teeth are biting gently, the eyes are firm, the sound of pipa gradually becomes more intense, and the dissatisfaction in the heart is slowly expressed...
……
Separated by a bead curtain in the hall, the three of them were drinking small drinks, listening to the increasingly loud sounds of the pipa, and said with a smile: "This girl is a little dissatisfied, too. She thought she could serve both civil and military officials. The heroic Fang Erlang may even receive a poem or a piece of poetry, which will make his reputation far and wide, and his worth will double. But who knows, he can only hide aside and play a little tune. This is resentful. "
"Mom! It's such a blessing to have her play music, and how dare you complain? I'll break his neck!"
Xue Wanche stood up, and Fang Jun quickly grabbed him and said silently: "Don't make trouble."
The sound of pipa behind the bead curtain was instantly chaotic, obviously frightened...
Zhi lost his mind and opened his eyes wide, looking at Xue Wanche and then at Fang Jun. Although he had always heard that Xue Wanche regarded Fang Jun as his leader and obeyed his words, Fang Jun was able to suppress Xue Wanche with such a tone. Xue Wanche was really tamed. …it’s incredible.
Others don't know Xue Wanche's temper, how can he not?
This roommate has a lot of skills...
Fang Jun rushed behind the bead curtain and said: "Girl, don't worry about it, just play the music."
"Thank you, Lord Yue."
A voice came from behind the bead curtain. It was soft, gentle, and full of tears. Even if an ordinary man just listened to this voice, his heart would sway and he would be unable to control himself. However, the three men here seemed to have not heard it and did not care. care.
Fang Jun and Zhi lost their thoughts, but they really didn't care, while Xue Wanche didn't understand appreciation at all...
The sound of pipa comes again.
Zhi lost his mind and poured wine from the pot, and said in a low voice: "When I return to the capital this time, Your Majesty intends to let me take charge of the left leading army guard and take on the responsibility of staying in the palace. What can Erlang teach me?"
After being formed, the left and right Jinwu Guards were responsible for the security of Chang'an, but they could not fully control the defense of Chang'an. At least the Taiji Palace could not allow a single Jinwu Guard army to control all the palace forbidden areas and gates. Other troops were needed to supplement and restrict each other.
The left and right leading guards are such a supplement. The left and right Jinwu guards are responsible for all the gates of the outer city, as well as the defense of Chengtian Gate and Zhuque Gate. The left and right leading guards are responsible for part of the gates of Taiji Palace. Four armies are sent to the inner palace to guard and defend the palace. The "Hundred Cavalry Division" jointly defended the city. While building a strict defense system for the entire city of Chang'an, it also prevented one family from becoming the dominant force and prevented other armies from being able to restrain them in extreme situations.
Anyone who can serve as a general of these four armies can be regarded as "Jian is in the heart of the emperor" and a close minister of the king. It is impossible to serve without the absolute trust of the emperor.
Naturally, everyone flocks to it.
The reason why Zhi loses his thinking power and asks this question is because there are constantly strange movements coming out of the clan, and it seems that a storm is brewing. It would be too risky to rashly participate in it...
Fang Jun put down his wine glass and said sternly: "Your Majesty has summoned Duke An Guo to return to Chang'an and stay in the imperial palace at this moment, which shows his trust in you. Our ministers can gain such trust from the king, how can we not face the difficulties and do our best to serve him?"< br>
When you are an official, you should not be afraid of difficulties. Without difficulties, how can you achieve success?
Zhi lost his thoughts and said solemnly: "It is true. Especially since I am from the Hu tribe, it is a great honor to be trusted by two generations of emperors. I should break my body to pieces to repay your kindness."
Political correctness is a must at any time. As an internalized Turk, it is precisely because of his firm stance and clear tendency that he can become a general leading an army. If he is afraid of difficulties and protects himself wisely, how can he be today?
I had some resistance to returning to Chang'an before, but now that I think about it, it is the pampered living environment these years that has worn away my will and acquired bad habits...
Fang Jun pointed at Xue Wanche and said to Zhi Shen Si Li: "You and I are stationed in the imperial palace to defend Chang'an, and the Duke of Wu'an is stationing troops on the Weishui River to assist in the defense of Guanzhong. As long as the three of us stand firm, we will be able to defeat the enemy with the force we control." The defense of Chang'an City is impregnable."
Zhi lost his thoughts and nodded, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "I am not worried about foreign enemies, I want to keep them at bay, and I just fight to the death. Who are we afraid of on the battlefield? But after two consecutive mutinies, the enemy also knows This road will not work, I am afraid that there will be a change. We are not afraid of external enemies, but how to deal with them if they are internal enemies? ”
Whether in the Taiji Palace or in the clan, these are the people closest to the emperor. Once these people give up the path of military admonishment and turn to conspiracy, how will he, the brave general who champions the three armies, deal with it?
He has no strength, but he can only do nothing.
This is also the purpose of his invitation to Fang Jun for a small gathering tonight. Although he has won the trust of two generations of kings, in the final analysis he is still a rogue general. He is too far away from the power center of the Tang Dynasty and it is difficult to grasp the deeper dynamics. He needs someone he can trust. He revealed the inside story.
He is not afraid of war, nor is he afraid of death, but he is afraid of hidden attacks and assassinations, and may even be betrayed and remain ignorant...
Fang Jun glanced at Xue Wanche and said, "Stay away and don't listen."
Xue Wanche stared: "Why can't I listen? You don't trust me?"
"I trust the Duke, but does the Duke trust me?"
"..."
Xue Wanche stared and thought for a moment, then said dissatisfied: "Are you discriminating against my intelligence?"
Fang Jun asked: "Don't the county officials discriminate against their own intelligence?"
"Mom! It's boring to be full of calculations."
Xue Wanche muttered, carrying a wine bottle and went to the door to enjoy the snow.
He is a little naive, but not stupid. He knows that he is not a person who can hide secrets. He can easily be tricked by others. The more secrets he knows, the more dangerous he is. Anyway, Fang Er won't trick him. He can just do whatever he says. Why should he know more?
Zhi lost his thoughts and was a little shocked: "This stick actually trusts you so much?"
Fang Jun said: "Because I am also a stick, and people of the same sex attract."
Persistence and loss of thinking: "..."
Fang Jun poured wine for Zhi Huansi Li, and the two of them had a drink. Fang Jun then whispered: "To be honest, I don't know how to ensure the safety of His Majesty through the imperial ban of Su Wei. After all, the enemy is hidden too deep. I don’t know when to launch it, let alone how to launch it... But if your Majesty and the Crown Prince protect one of them, it won’t be difficult, right?”
Zhi lost his mind and was shocked: "It's actually so dangerous?"
Those people actually want to kill His Majesty?
But then I thought about it, even if someone is really treasonous and attacks His Majesty, it is difficult to take care of the Prince of the East Palace. It is impossible for both sides to succeed at the same time. As long as either Your Majesty or the Prince is saved, it is enough to protect the stability of the imperial power, the country will not be in chaos, and the world will not be in chaos. No mess.
But it's really appalling.
Originally, he was vaguely aware of the death of Emperor Taizong and was a little unclear about it. Will His Majesty also face such a threat now?
The struggle for imperial power is really bloody and cruel...
Fang Jun sighed and said: "In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, when faced with this kind of struggle for supreme power, which one has not been cruel and bloody? All ethics and morals in the world collapsed in the face of supreme power, and they used all possible means."
< br>
"Two to protect one" was naturally the worst plan. In fact, he didn't think anyone could attack Li Chengqian in Tai Chi Palace. Whether poisoning or assassinating, the probability of success was extremely low.
But no matter how low the probability is, there is still a possibility of success, so be prepared for the worst...
Zhi lost his mind and nodded and said: "Don't worry, although I am a barbarian, I am still loyal and patriotic."
……
There was a knock on the door and the two ended their conversation.
The madam opened the door and walked in. Several maids behind him took out a few dishes from the food boxes and put them on the table. He said with a smile: "Three nobles have come to visit, and the humble house is full of glory. I have prepared several dishes." Here are some dishes to show your appreciation.”
Fang Jun looked the old lady up and down and felt that such a plain and simple woman who seemed to have been washed away was incompatible with such a brothel, especially since the plain charm that remained after the passage of time had a somewhat settled mellowness, which was incompatible with Youthfulness is different and has its own flavor.
No wonder that tough guy Xue Wanche was moved...
When the madam retired, the three of them were eating food and drinking wine, and said, "This woman has taste, she is the best."
Fang Jun agreed: "But this is the property of the prince of Hejian County. Who knows what the relationship between this woman and him is? Just take a look, don't get involved."
Zhi lost his thoughts and said with a smile: "Although I can still be gentle and fight in the countryside, I have passed the age of looking for flowers and flowers, and I no longer have that mood... But Duke Wu'an seems to have a soft spot?"
< br>
Xue Wanche on the side was a little dazed, eating one glass of wine and not talking much.
Fang Jun and Zhi Huan Si Li looked at each other and knew that this guy was interested.
Sure enough, Xue Wanche put down his wine glass and said bluntly: "If I don't leave tonight, I have to sleep with this woman."
Zhi lost his thoughts and hesitated: "If it were normal, I would be happy to see it happen, but if Princess Danyang knows about it, we will inevitably end up complaining, or even make a scene, which will embarrass everyone."
She said she was embarrassed, but actually she was afraid that Princess Danyang would come and cause trouble.
Princess Danyang is not aggressive, but she has a strict personality and gives in to everyone...
Xue Wanche was usually afraid of Princess Danyang, but this time he was obsessed with it and said firmly: "No matter what, I won't leave tonight. It's rare to meet a woman who makes my heart beat. If I don't sleep, I will feel uneasy! Even if you two Spread the word and I will admit it!”
Fang Jun shook his head: "The Duke of Wu'an and I came to Pingkangfang together, which shows our trust. How could we live up to your trust and stab you in the back? Everyone in the world praises me for my righteousness. Bo Yuntian, I will not belittle myself and will never betray my friends.”
Zhi lost his thoughts and nodded heavily: "I would never dare to let the two of me stay here with you, but if you insist on staying the night, it's okay. Erlang Gaoyi, how can I be willing to fall for it? Even if I am later killed Princess Danyang learned that I am willing to shoulder it and show my morality!"
Xue Wanche was overjoyed: "Well, well, well, you are worthy of being my brother, Xue Wanche. As long as you two don't tell the outside world, how can the princess know that I am staying here tonight?" Although the princess is in charge, she occasionally indulges in a little indulgence, and God knows, Wouldn't it be nice if the ghost didn't realize it?
