Chapter 4858 Prepare for a Rainy Day
Princess Changle's eyes widened and she said in surprise: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could such a thing happen!"
After scolding Princess Jinyang, she felt a little bit in her heart. She recalled what she had known about Fang Jun and the Queen in the past. Fang Jun always treated the Queen with courtesy and never overstepped in the slightest. However, the Queen did treat Fang Jun differently from others. Are you grateful because Fang Jun turned the tide several times to save the East Palace from fire and water, and also tried his best to push the prince to the throne?
There seems to be some, but it seems unnecessary...
It's really hard to explain and unclear.
Seeing her hesitant and doubtful expression, Princess Jinyang smiled and came closer, saying in a low voice: "Why, does my sister also feel that something is wrong?"
Princess Changle glared at her and reprimanded: "What nonsense are you thinking about all day long? Not only can't you say these words, you can't even listen to them. Anyone who chews their tongue in the harem will have her tongue reamed!"
It was rare to see Princess Changle so domineering. Princess Jinyang stuck out her tongue and did not dare to say anything more.
Princess Changle picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, frowning. Since the rumors had spread to Sizi's ears, His Majesty would not be unaware of it. Men are extremely possessive of women. Changsun Chong was furious because of the rumors between her and Fang Jun. After several years of love, they lost their love and even turned against each other, and he hated Fang Jun even more.
Company commander Sun Chong would never allow his woman to be touched by others, let alone the emperor?
Even if he knew it was true, everyone saying that would alienate the emperor. This can be seen from the recent good and bad relationship between him and Fang Jun, which is no longer as close as before.
I just wonder if this gap will become deeper and deeper and difficult to bridge?
*****
It was dark at night, and the lights at the inner gate were as bright as day. When the soldiers on guard saw Fang Jun, they immediately knelt on one knee to perform military salutes and respectfully said: "See you, Marshal!"
Fang Jun nodded: "No gifts!"
He took out the token and handed it to the captain in charge of the access control. The captain took it respectfully with both hands. After carefully examining the token, he handed it back with both hands. His respect for Fang Jun increased in his heart. This kind of token in the entire palace was no more than The three pieces were all held by the servants trusted by His Majesty, but now they are given to a foreign minister to allow him to walk in the palace...
"Where is General Wang?"
"Go back to the commander-in-chief. The general is checking the candles at the top of the city to prevent fires. I will go and inform General Wang to come over."
"No, I'll go see him myself, and you can just lead the way."
Then he said to another soldier: "Leave the city from Xuanwu Gate to Chengtian Gate and tell my soldiers to go back to their homes on their own."
"Here."
The soldiers quickly trotted to fetch a horse, went out from the small gate on the side of Xuanwu Gate, went around to Fanglin Gate to enter the city, went south to Anfu Gate outside Yeting Palace, and went along Tianjie to send messages outside Chengtian Gate...
Under the leadership of the school captain, Fang Jun climbed up the city wall along the horse path on the side of the city gate. The sky was dark with stars and the moon hanging low. He looked to the north and saw the vast and dark night all around, and to the south he had a panoramic view of the entire Tai Chi Palace and the palace buildings. The covered bridges and pavilions were surrounded by orange lights. They lost their majesty and grandeur in the daytime and became a bit lower and heavier.
It is such a palace that has been swaying for hundreds of years, with many lofty aspirations and many swords and swords, composing the most splendid chapter of Chinese civilization. In the end, it was unable to withstand the vicissitudes of the sea, things and people changed, and it collapsed in the flames of war and was annihilated in the dust. .
All the palaces and palaces were made of earth.
Wang Fangyi received the report from the soldiers, trotted forward to greet him, and performed military salute: "The last general has seen the commander-in-chief!"
"Get up!"
Fang Jun stepped forward, patted the other party's shoulder to help him up, looked him up and down, and said with approval: "The body is much stronger. It can be seen that even though he became a high official, he has not put down his bow and horse skills. Although firearms are now powerful, they are enough Change the mode of war, but as a general, you can't lose your ability to live in peace. In times of crisis, you can still gallop and charge into battle!"
"Here! I don't dare to forget the commander's teachings. I should take time to work out my muscles every day. You also said that the body is the capital for doing great things. Without a good body, it is nothing!"
"Haha, that's right! At least when we climb on the girl, we can immediately shoot her and kill her without leaving a trace, instead of dragging the cat's tail to the kang and finish the matter in one, two, three!"
"Hahaha!"
Wang Fangyi, the captains and soldiers on the left and right all burst into laughter. Although not all of the soldiers were vulgar people, their behavior was rough and violent. Over time, even the refined people became tainted with a wild spirit. They ate meat, drank wine, and talked. She raised her voice and loved hearing such vulgar words.
Wang Fangyi smiled and flexed his arms to bulge his biceps. Although he was wearing armor and could not see the size of his muscle bulges, he looked very majestic and majestic: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely not embarrass the Commander, whether on the battlefield or as a woman!"
The atmosphere is very relaxed.
Although Fang Jun held a high position and became increasingly majestic, he had a military aura of boldness because he led troops all year round, and was very popular among the soldiers.
After entering the city gate building, Fang Junping stepped back and sat on the main seat as he should. Then he stopped smiling, called Wang Fangyi to sit next to him, and asked in a low voice: "For controlling the Xuanwu Gate under extreme circumstances, How sure are you?”
Wang Fangyi's heart trembled, and he said solemnly: "If there is an external enemy, I will use my head to guarantee that the Xuanwu Gate is impregnable! But if there are internal thieves to help, I will not dare to say that it is foolproof."
The Tang Dynasty started with the Guanlong clan. Later, the interests of the clans were entangled and mixed with each other. This resulted in the interweaving of forces from all sides, both in the court and the military. Often, superior officials, inferior officials, generals, and soldiers belonged to different camps. Different positions, and even some people’s identities and backgrounds are extremely complicated, and it is impossible to distinguish their positions...
The Xuanwumen garrison was drawn from the original left and right garrison guards, and was from the same sect as the current left and right Jinwu guards, so the composition was equally complex.
How many of them are usually stable and obedient, but once things change, how many of them will change their tune and cheat on others, it’s really hard to say...
However, such a situation would be excusable outside, but within the military there is no room for change.
"I don't care what you do or what methods you use. You must make sure to defend Xuanwu Gate and maintain a deterrent force against Taiji Palace when sudden changes occur! Don't talk to me about difficulties. If you can do it, you can continue to guard Xuanwu Gate. If you can’t do it, get out and let someone who can do it take over!”
Wang Fangyi suddenly stood up and knelt down on one knee: "Commander, please rest assured, even if he dies, the general will definitely guard Xuanwu Gate for him!"
What is a soldier?
Soldiers are the ones who overcome all difficulties and move forward courageously.
Fang Jun sat in the main seat with a golden sword, his face serious: "Determination alone is not enough, you also need means! You are the general I promoted with one hand. In the eyes of outsiders, you are my person. Once the Tai Chi Palace If there is a change and you cannot guard the Xuanwu Gate, you and I will die without a burial place.”
"Don't worry, Commander, even if your brain is bruised and your body is shattered, you will follow the Commander to the death!"
"Okay, I'm not asking you to show your loyalty. Why are you saying something so disgusting?"
He pulled Wang Fangyi up and motioned to sit next to him.
Wang Fangyi took his seat and asked cautiously: "Commander, is there going to be a change in the palace?"
It seems that since the violent death of Emperor Taizong, there has been no rest in the Tai Chi Palace. There have been two mutinies. The entire Tai Chi Palace was almost destroyed. Nowadays, many palaces have been renovated or even rebuilt according to the drawings. The war Traces are everywhere.
Therefore, his Xuanwumen garrison is a "dangerous position." Negligence leads to failure.
Xuanwu Gate is not only the gate of Tai Chi Palace, but also the life gate of Tai Chi Palace.
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "It may not be as bad as I thought. I just want you to be vigilant to be prepared. We soldiers cannot wait for the war to break out and imagine charging into battle to kill the enemy and serve the country. Instead, we must remain vigilant at all times and do a good job at any time. In preparing for battle, we would rather have all our efforts in vain if the expected thing does not happen, than be careless and lazy, leading to a hasty response and loopholes when the incident occurs. ”
The army of later generations adhered to this principle. Even if there was no war for decades, it would always tighten its strings and make preparations at all times. Once a war broke out, it would "be able to fight when it comes and win when it fights"...
"Here!"
Wang Fangyi complied calmly.
He was a general promoted by Fang Jun and was entrusted with important tasks. He was very familiar with Fang Jun's style of doing things. He knew that since Fang Jun said such words and gave such instructions, it meant that the so-called "change" had a huge impact. Probability will happen.
There was not much fear or nervousness in his heart, but more excitement.
For soldiers, "changes" mean opportunities. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. As long as they can protect them and remain the mainstay, their future will be bright.
Fang Jun stood up and patted Wang Fangyi on the shoulder: "Don't go home for a while. Always stay at Xuanwu Gate to guard against changes."
Then he encouraged: "Work hard and as long as you survive this crisis, I will recommend you to be promoted to an official rank. A captain of a light car will be no problem."
Wang Fangyi's heart sank: "Thank you for the promotion, Marshal!"
"Qingche Duwei" is a rank from the fourth rank, corresponding to the Shaoqing of Weiwei Temple, Guanglu Temple, Zongzheng Temple, and Dali Temple, and is a proper senior official.
But he was just a scout of the Anxi Army before. Even if he is now serving as a guard at Xuanwu Gate, he is still questioned because he is too young. If he is pushed up to the level of "Captain of Light Cars", he will definitely be determined. Distinguished honors.
It can be seen that the "change" in Fang Jun's prediction must be vicious and dangerous, with a narrow escape from death...
Seeing his expression, Fang Jun knew that he had understood the danger of the situation, so he would not be careless. He was satisfied and reassured: "There is no need to be nervous, I am just preparing for the worst, the situation may not collapse to the extreme. ...Send me out of the city.”
"Here!"
He personally brought a horse to help Fang Jun mount the horse, and took the reins to send Fang Jun out of the Xuanwu Gate. Because all Fang Jun's soldiers were outside the Chengtian Gate, Wang Fangyi sent a group of soldiers to escort...
Seeing Fang Jun's galloping figure disappear into the night, Wang Fangyi let out a long breath and clenched his fists tightly.
A real man is born in heaven and earth. It is his duty to establish a career and have a wife and children. The more dangerous the situation, the greater the rewards. Not only is he not afraid of the situation collapsing and getting stuck in this situation, but he is full of excited expectations. Let the violent storms come more violently. As a man standing proudly at the forefront of the tide, what do you have to fear? !
