Chapter 4572 It’s hard to be a brother-in-law
Li Shenfu naturally felt Li Xiaogong's dissatisfaction, but he didn't mean to cheat. After all, he had promised something in front of His Majesty, how could he go back on it?
However, after much thought, he really didn't know how to give Fang Jun this explanation!
Are you really going to throw Li Daoli out?
That was more than just an explanation. Fang Er went to Dali Temple to sue Li Daoli for conspiring to assassinate Fang Yizhi, and things got serious.
Do you really think that if Fang Xuanling retires, all the good relationships she formed back then will disappear?
Do you really think that now that Fang Jun no longer has the military power to control the Jinwu Guards, he is just a toothless tiger who can be bullied?
He doesn't care about Li Daoli's life or death, but he can't help but care about the prestige he has accumulated throughout his life...
Fang Jun said to Li Xiaogong: "Look, these are old and disrespectful people. They talk like farts and are totally shameless. Your Majesty also blamed me for breaking down his door and burning down his house... No wonder Emperor Taizong was still there back then." At that time, this old thief was like a tortoise, hiding at home without even daring to show his head. What do you think we should do about this matter? Should you solve it, or should I go back and ask His Majesty for instructions again? "
Li Xiaogong was also annoyed. He ignored Fang Jun's push and looked at Li Shenfu with a sullen face: "Uncle, please say something."
He was very dissatisfied. What you just said was fine, but as soon as you left the Tai Chi Palace, you acted like a rogue. Are you really just causing trouble and not afraid of big trouble?
Li Shenfu was helpless. It was impossible for him to pay the price to appease Fang Jun. As Fang Jun said, since Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he had been staying in the mansion and did not dare to show his face, for fear of being liquidated by Emperor Taizong, so he had lived in hiding for so many years. , powerless, and all the wealth he accumulated in his early years was basically spent. In the past two years, he followed some people from the clan to go overseas to engage in maritime trade, and then he recovered a little bit. He could not provide compensation that satisfied Fang Jun at all.
Besides, the main hall of his house was set on fire, and he had to find a way to find someone to pay for it. How could he compensate Fang Jun again?
"How about I go back and talk to Li Daoli and see what kind of sincerity he can show?"
Li Xiaogong thought for a while and said to Fang Jun: "That's it for today, how about I give you an answer tomorrow morning?"
Fang Jun said: "I can't trust this old thief, but if you are the king of the county, you can vouch for it."
Li Shenfu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "You bastard, you really don't respect elders at all? Your father wouldn't dare to bark like that in front of me."
Fang Jun said coldly: "It's fortunate that I'm the one negotiating this matter with you. If my father were here, I'd probably strangle you, an old guy, to death long ago. You're so confused with your old business, bah!"
Li Shenfu was furious, but he admitted that Fang Jun's words were true. He wanted to assassinate the family's son. Although Fang Xuanling was a gentle and gentle man, he was afraid that he would fight to the death.
Li Xiaogong said: "Uncle, please go back and discuss it with Li Daoli quickly. My nephew will guarantee you an answer tomorrow. I hope you won't let me break my promise."
Fang Jun sneered and said: "There is no need to embarrass the prince, I am just waiting for him to act rogue."
Li Xiaogong, one of two older men, knew that what Fang Jun said was true. Once Li Shenfu cheated, who knows what extraordinary things Fang Jun would do: "Uncle King, just take care of yourself."
Then he turned around and glared at Li Yuanjia, who was pretending to be dead, then turned around and strode away.
This kind of thing is clearly Zong Zhengqing's responsibility, but Li Yuanjia stayed out of it and even resigned, insisting on taking the lead. What a bastard!
Li Shenfu didn't say anything, turned around, boarded the car and left.
Only Uncle Lang and Uncle were left in front of Chengtian Gate. Fang Jun stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Li Yuanjia with a sneer.
Li Yuanjia laughed, clasped his fists and said, "That's it. I'm going back to the palace first. I'll say goodbye."
"No," Fang Jun grabbed Li Yuanjia's arm and said with a smile, "I have been working hard in the middle of the night and I am very hungry now. I will go with your highness to have some breakfast. Your highness will not welcome it, right?" br>
"Huh?"
Li Yuanjia was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and apologized: "Of course you won't be unwelcome. Isn't this king's home also your home, Erlang? You can go anytime you want! It's just that there are a lot of things today, and you have to go back and meet your roommate." After a while, I won’t invite you. Another day, another day..."
Fang Yizhi, his eldest brother-in-law, was assassinated, and as his brother-in-law, he had to stay out of the matter in order to avoid trouble. If the princess knew about this, how could she let it go? I don’t know how to explain it to the princess when I go back. What if a guy like Fang Jun goes back and adds fuel to the fire?
Fang Jun ignored him, dragged Li Yuanjia onto the carriage, and asked the soldiers to follow him. He ordered the coachman to drive the carriage, and sneered: "It seems that His Highness the King of Han has some opinions on the Fang family. Not only did he stay out of the assassination of his eldest brother, but he ignored it." Ask, even if I want to come to the door, you will refuse in every possible way... I will have a good time arguing with His Highness today, and discuss the truth. How can there be such an uncle in the world? "
Li Yuanjia was heartbroken and unable to complain: Yes, how can there be a brother-in-law like you in the world?
The brothers-in-law of other families stayed with their brothers-in-law all day long. In order to seek help and support from their brothers-in-law with a smile on their faces, the brothers-in-law told them not to go east or to the west, made the catching dogs dare not catch the chickens, and even helped the brothers-in-law hide it from their sisters... …
But look what kind of character you are?
What evil did you do in your previous life to end up with such a brother-in-law?
The carriage left Zhuquemen and drove into Zhuquemen Street. Soldiers came on horseback and reported to the carriage that Li Daoli and his men had rescued Li Shaokang. Fang Jun nodded and ordered: "Send someone to keep an eye on the Dongping County Prince's Mansion." , to ensure that Li Shaokang is not secretly sent out of Chang'an."
"Here."
After the soldiers left, Li Yuanjia stroked his neatly trimmed beard and said in a deep voice: "This is considered an action of the clan. Although you have seen through it, there will definitely be conspiracies in the future. You have to be careful."
< br>
Fang Jun said: "I don't care what conspiracies they have, what I care about is their motives for making these conspiracies."
Li Yuanjia was stunned: "Motive?"
Fang Jun looked at him like a fool: "Of course it was the motive. Why did they assassinate my elder brother for no reason? If they wanted to assassinate me, they should have assassinated me! Obviously their purpose was to alienate the relationship between me and His Majesty, and if His Majesty If you are separated from me, you will lose one The staunchest supporters will have to rely on the clan when the time comes. Those people will either take the opportunity to seize power and enter the center, or have other plans to go further... I didn't even notice, how did you survive in the clan? Now?”
Feeling slighted and offended, Li Yuanjia became angry: "How can I not see through this? I just didn't pay much attention for a while... When I go back home, I have to prepare meals in a hurry in the kitchen. I heard that Pingkangfang has recently opened a new We’re in a brothel, why don’t we go have a few drinks, listen to some tunes, and enjoy some dancing?”
Fang Jun smiled contemptuously: "Why are you so afraid of eldest sister?"
Li Yuanjia said seriously: "Respect, respect!"
"Haha, okay, let's go to Pingkangfang... But sooner or later, today's incident will reach my eldest sister's ears. As a brother-in-law, you don't care about my uncle's life or death and just want to stay out of it. You should think about how to appease the angry eldest sister."< br>
"Sigh... If the eldest brother is really assassinated, I will avenge him no matter what, even if the murderer is Li Shenfu! But now the eldest brother is fine. If I don't give in, I will ignore the peace of the clan. I am Zong Zhengqing Ah, how can you abolish public service for personal reasons? ”
"So you let me go alone?"
"You are different. Who doesn't know that you are a stick? Since you are a stick, you still have to stir up trouble if you are unreasonable, let alone being reasonable now? Just toss Li Shenfu and Li Daoli to death. You are afraid that the truth is on your side. What.”
"Are you praising me or scolding me?"
"Of course I'm complimenting you."
……
The New Year has not yet completely passed, and it is a good time for the people of Chang'an to visit relatives and friends. Relatives and old friends gather together to eat and drink together to bond. During this period, it is inevitable to talk about some gossips, scandals, and interesting current affairs. This happened in Fangjia and Xiangyi County This incident between the Prince's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion of Dongping County quickly spread throughout Chang'an, adding new spices to everyone's after-dinner conversations.
Fang Yizhi was assassinated in the Japanese country. Naturally, it was impossible to hide the fact that the murderers were the Prince of Xiangyi County and the Prince of Dongping County. Various interest groups such as the clan, nobles, and civil servants were worried about this. Because fighting for power and profit in the court was normal, defeat was inevitable. The winner admits defeat and plans a comeback. The winner will show grace when seizing power, but the secret assassination method has exceeded the lower limit of many people.
If you can't fight and just assassinate someone, wouldn't it be the behavior of a great country?
Everyone lives in danger and sleeps with one eye open, so why be an official?
Moreover, the one who was assassinated this time was Fang Yizhi. Fang Yizhi himself was nothing, but he had a father named Fang Xuanling who served as prime minister and assistant, and there was also Fang Jun who never wanted to suffer losses and was domineering and willful...
A huge storm is about to hit, this is the consensus of everyone.
The news spread quickly, and Prince Han's Mansion naturally also received the news. Princess Fang heard the news in the back house and was so anxious that she almost fainted.
"Where is Your Highness? You have been in the palace for so long, why haven't you come back yet?"
The steward of the mansion said hurriedly: "This matter is not a trivial matter. I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle it properly. We will definitely have to discuss it in the palace for some time."
Fang's eyebrows were raised, and she reached out to pat the table in front of her: "What about before? The Prince of Xiangyi County sent someone to invite His Highness to enter the palace. Why didn't anyone tell me the reason? If this matter hadn't spread widely, would this matter have been done? Have you been hiding this from me?”
The concubines on the left and right lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, trembling with fear, not daring to say a word.
It stands to reason that Fang is not a jealous person, nor is she intolerant of King Han's other concubines and concubines. As long as they do not compete with her or even replace her, she can be considered tolerant towards others. It's just that he has a prime minister father and a powerful and popular younger brother, which makes him have a strong background and confidence.
Her natal family is domineering, which woman is not arrogant?
After a while, another servant came to report: "Princess Qi, Your Highness just left the palace and went to Pingkangfang."
Fang: "..."
The temperature in the hall instantly dropped, and several of the concubines' eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
Is Your Highness seeking death? (End of chapter)
