Chapter 4787 Never admit it
【Happy Holidays to all book lovers】
"What are you sighing about?"
With a soft voice, a maid blew out the fire stick and lit the candles on the candlestick one by one. The orange light dispelled the darkness.
The sudden rise of light made Chai Lingwu narrow his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on Princess Baling's beautiful face, which was a little dazzling.
Only then did he realize why he was in the dark but he was calm, because the darkness could shield him from all troubles, allowing him to escape from all the things he didn't want to face. Being in the darkness seemed like time had frozen, and nothing had happened.
When the light comes on, everything that needs to be faced comes one after another.
Facing Princess Baling's inquiry, he forced out a smile: "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt a little tight in my chest."
Princess Baling stood in the hall, wearing a pink and white embroidered skirt. She looked slender and graceful. Her beautiful face was unruffled, her eyes were faint, and she said softly: "He agreed, you can rest assured."
The muscles on Chai Lingwu's face twitched and he muttered: "I..."
He didn't know what to say, and Princess Baling didn't want to hear what he had to say, so she turned around and walked out lightly.
"I'm going to take a bath and go to bed first."
Take a bath...
Chai Lingwu clenched his fists and watched Princess Baling's graceful back disappear from the door. He unclenched his fists and let out a silent breath.
Isn't this what he wants?
If you get what you want, why should you regret the lost things?
Everyone has their own way of living, everyone has their own values, and what they care about more. As long as you act according to your own wishes and get what you want, there is nothing to criticize.
There is never a lack of darkness, squalor, and shame in this world, but as long as you succeed, what do these mean?
*****
In the flower hall of the house, Lai Ji was so shocked that he couldn't speak when he saw the colorful and colorful flowers. Many flowers that he had only read about in miscellaneous books and only grew in the south appeared here majestically, and they were flourishing and blooming. , which surprised him.
Cen Changqian was a little amused when she saw his "country bumpkin" expression: "The county magistrate thinks it's amazing?"
Laiji wondered: "Isn't it magical? Plants all over the world have their own growth habits. If oranges grow in Huainan, they become oranges, and if they grow in northern Huaibei, they become oranges. The leaves are similar, but the taste is different. So why? The water and soil are different. These are Flowers naturally bloom in hot and humid places in the south. Even if they can be transplanted to the north, they will hardly bloom. But why are the flowers and trees here no different from those described in the book?”
Cen Changqian was more curious than he was: "Does the county magistrate not know that the Marshal was the first person to plant greenhouses in the Tang Dynasty? The cold winter months can make flowers bloom and fruit trees bear fruit. Why not just transplant flowers from the south and bloom as usual?"
Laiji's eyes widened: "Vegetables, melons and fruits are simple and durable, but how can we treat them as delicate flowers?"
"One method can lead to hundreds of problems. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
"Is this the same thing?"
The current situation that subverted common sense shocked Lai Ji so much that it was difficult to accept it.
Fang Jun walked in wearing regular clothes and said with a smile: "The technology of greenhouse cultivation has been compiled in the "Agricultural Book". If you are interested, you may wish to wait until it is published to buy a copy. This book brings together agricultural knowledge from all over the world, and is very useful for local areas." The official has a great auxiliary role.”
Agriculture is a major event in any era. People who have enough to eat live and work in peace and contentment, while hungry people transform into Tyrannosaurus. Whoever keeps the people well fed will be a wise king through the ages, otherwise the people will rise up and overthrow him...
After seeing the ceremony, they sat down respectively. Fang Jun asked: "I asked you to come here to ask how the 'indecent assault case' was handled? There are too many people gathered inside and outside Chang'an City now, because the grand gathering of the Buddhist and Taoist sects has made people's hearts beat. Panic, a little carelessness will lead to bad consequences, and all incidents involving these two factions must be cautious. ”
"There is no evidence that the indecent assault on the woman was committed by the monks of Daci'en Temple. Even the so-called indecent assault was just what the woman said to herself. Neither the monks of Daci'en Temple, Wei Shuxia nor the few involved had ever seen the indecent assault. The details are that the lower official has released the monks from Daci’en Temple, warned the woman and then driven her away.”
"This kind of thing has always been done with sympathy for the weak. It doesn't have to be just anyone. Once the woman spreads rumors everywhere without mercy, public opinion will still be biased towards her and will be detrimental to Daci'en Temple. Therefore, we cannot drive away the matter and send people to follow her if she is found. If she continues to stir up public opinion, coercive measures will be taken immediately. No matter whose family she is from, she will be suppressed. ”
Daci'en Temple has prestige and self-discipline. When encountering this kind of thing, it can restrain the reaction of public opinion to a limited extent. But if it were to be changed to another temple or Taoist temple, the consequences would be extremely serious. Now that monks and Taoists all over the world are gathering together, any trivial matter may lead to unpredictable consequences.
Seeing Lai Ji's obedience and agreement, Fang Jun reminded: "Many things cannot be purely theoretically right or wrong. For the current situation, stability is more important than anything else."
There is not so much right and wrong. Many times individuals have to make sacrifices for the overall situation, and everything must be compromised in the face of the general trend of the world.
If you can't do this, you will only be a county magistrate for the rest of your life.
Fortunately, Lai Ji had a good academic background and was extremely talented. He immediately understood the meaning of Fang Jun's words and nodded: "Don't worry, Lord Yue, I understand that the overall situation is the most important thing, and I will not be careless and let thieves take advantage of me. ”
Fang Jun patted him on the shoulder and said: "Do a good job. Although I am unlucky for Guo Jingcheng, the benefits are not without. At least whether you do well or not will be in the eyes of the court ministers and even His Majesty. As long as you do well, Naturally, it will not be buried, and the burden will be added when the results are achieved.”
This was almost a clear statement, and Laiji quickly expressed his position: "In compliance with the teachings of the Duke of Yue, I will be conscientious and diligent in government affairs. I will be committed to the prosperity and stability of Wannian County and live up to His Majesty's kindness."
……
It was getting late, so the two of them left. Fang Jun drank tea for a while in the flower hall, thinking about the current situation, and then returned to the bedroom in the back house.
Princess Gaoyang has finished washing, and is sitting in front of the dressing table in a light gauze dress. Her slim and tight body is looming in the candlelight, her hips are graceful, and she is as beautiful as jade.
Seeing Fang Jun walking in from the mirror, he stood up and dismissed the maid, walked into the inner bedroom with Fang Jun, and personally changed the clothes of the husband, with a slight complaint in his tone: "You are so busy that you don't see anyone every day, why do you do this? Go to tomorrow. Just sit outside and drink tea. If you have something to do, let the people under your command take care of it. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
Fang Jun felt guilty: "Currently, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism are holding a grand meeting in Chang'an. Monks and Taoists from all over the world are gathered together. A little carelessness can cause a big incident. Your Majesty asked me to control the Jinwu Guards and be responsible for the security of the capital. It is really a great deal of trust. Naturally, we must do our best to ensure the stability of Chang'an, how dare we neglect it?"
After casually folding the robes she took off and putting them aside, Princess Gaoyang snorted: "What did you say before about your great achievements? Now, in a few days, the county can't bear the loneliness and wants to take power? You men?" , maybe you can live without women, but you can never live without power.”
"There are some flaws in what Your Highness said. Since my husband is not a child, he will not make choices. I want all powerful women!"
Fang Jun chuckled and hugged Princess Gaoyang's slim waist from behind.
Although she has given birth, due to proper maintenance or excellent talent, her waist and hip curves are a bit more plump than when she was a girl, not even half bloated, and she feels great to the touch.
Princess Gao Yang bit her lip and twisted, feeling the pressure behind her. Her pretty face turned red and she gasped slightly: "Go and turn off the lights."
Fang Jun is proud that this body is really talented, and he can still have some energy left shortly after exerting all his strength, otherwise the secret will be exposed at this moment...
"Looking at beauties under the lamp is one of the great pleasures in life."
"How can it be so ridiculous? No way..."
Princess Gaoyang blushed and struggled hard to resist the ridiculous behavior of cheating her husband. Suddenly her delicate body stiffened, her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, she sniffed Fang Jun's body with her straight nose, and her eyes filled with suspicion.
Fang Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to step forward to disrupt the other person's thinking, but Princess Gao Yang reached out and patted him before he sat up with a cold face. He stood up and stood in front of the couch with his arms in his arms, staring at him with shining eyes. Looking at him.
Fang Jun swallowed secretly and said with a smile: "What's wrong, madam? I just want to turn off the lights, okay, okay, let's turn off the lights."
"Oh, what are you guilty of?"
Princess Gao Yang sneered: "Could it be that she did some dirty things like stealing jade and fragrance?"
Fang Jun shook his head and firmly denied: "This is absolutely not the case!"
"Where have you been today? Did you go to Xiangyi County Prince's Mansion to discuss the matter with Dongping County Prince and the Chai family?"
"Hey, is it possible that the lady has the power of miraculous calculations, and can know the affairs of the world by just pinching her fingers?"
"Don't bully me like this, do you think I'm a three-year-old? Since that coward Chai Lingwu dared to let Chai Mingzhang take the blame for Wei Shuxia, he must have benefited from the benefits given by the Wei family, but the Chai family cannot afford this benefit. Someone must have come forward to make peace with the Dongping County Prince... Then let me know, Lang Jun, why did you go to the Chai family to make peace with this matter? What conditions did the Chai family pay for you to do this? "
Princess Gaoyang has a stern face and a small mouth that keeps talking, and she has a temperament that is quite wise.
Fang Jun blinked and realized that he had always underestimated Princess Gaoyang.
There is a "big cow" like Wu Meiniang beside her who shines brightly, and her personality has always been calm and easy-going. She puts all her attention on her husband, and she has a bit of the "love brain" style of later generations, but in reality Which of His Majesty Li Er's children is simple-minded?
But this level of evidence was not enough to make Fang Jun surrender. "My wife is outstanding in intelligence and appearance, and can be called the best among women... But the reason why I went to Xiangyi County Prince's Mansion to negotiate peace was not entrusted by the Chai family, but by His Majesty's instructions."
