Chapter 4929: Each has his own shortcomings
Princess Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Since Wu Meiniang came forward, nothing would go wrong.
However, she still warned: "Just enough is enough, don't go too far. You also know Mr. Lang's character. Even if he is just trying something new and has never used affection, he can't stand the woman he is involved with being too wronged and self-defeating." It’s not good.”
When she said this, Jin Shengman suddenly became nervous: "How about... let's forget it? After all, Princess Baling didn't show anything inappropriate."
She loved and respected Fang Jun and would never dare to offend him in the slightest.
If Fang Jun gets angry because of this, she feels like the sky is falling...
Wu Meiniang raised her eyebrows, full of confidence: "That princess is cowardly and submissive, like a chicken or a wag, she can be easily captured!"
To be forced by her husband to use her own body to beg others to fight for the interests of her husband's family, and then fall into the entanglement of Fang Jun, you can know what kind of character Princess Baling is. This kind of person is indecisive, afraid of wolves before and tigers at the back, and most importantly It's easy to deal with. Just a few threats and intimidations will make them retreat and no longer dare to pester them.
Jin Shengman said quietly: "I'm afraid that Princess Baling is deeply in love with Lang Jun and doesn't care about him. After all, Lang Jun and Chai Lingwu are like jade and clay pots. Who doesn't like such a mighty, masculine and powerful Lang Jun?" What?”
Princess Gaoyang: "..."
Why are you getting more and more panicked?
He quickly held Wu Meiniang's hand, gritted her silver teeth, and said, "Meiniang must act decisively and deal with Baling completely!"
It's okay to lend it to a sister for use, and it won't wear out anyway. But if there is a possibility of the sister snatching it away, it will definitely not work. The danger must be nipped in the bud, and there must be no risk at all.
……
Fang Jun changed into a set of clothes, indigo straight skirt, the cool color actually made his skin appear whiter, his face was thin and handsome, his eyebrows were like knives, his nose was straight and his mouth was square.
Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes were shining brightly and her heart was pounding. It had been a long time since she had tasted meat...
Fang Jun came from the back hall, sat down opposite the wives and concubines, and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about? It's so lively?"
He picked up Princess Gaoyang's tea cup and took a sip.
Princess Gao Yang rolled her eyes and said proudly: "Sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. We are just talking about ourselves. Why does your husband look a little nervous? Is he afraid that we will get together and say bad things about you?"
Fang Jun smiled and pretended to be grand: "I have been a glorious person and have an upright mind. How can I have anything bad for you to say? But because of my excellent husband, several of my beloved wives gathered together to talk about it. , which is normal.”
Jin Shengman covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, and asked Princess Gaoyang: "But I don't know if your husband was so confident in the past?"
"Ha," Princess Gao Yang sneered: "Is this full of confidence? It's obviously shameless! You came late, and you didn't know how rogue he used to be..."
Then she took Jin Shengman's hand and told her how she initially looked down on Fang Jun, who was "outspoken and uneducated" and "a rich man", and how angry and sad she was when faced with Emperor Taizong's marriage grant. Man's eyes sparkled with relish.
Especially when it comes to what Fang Jun said when he blocked her in the Tai Chi Palace, "You can only love me. If you want to pamper me, you can't lie to me. You must do everything you promise me." You must be sincere in every word you say to me, don’t bully me, let alone scold me, believe me, don’t bully me”…
Jin Shengman's beautiful eyes widened, shocked and speechless.
Wu Meiniang had already bent over with laughter...
Fang Jun had a dark face and tried to save his dignity: "You are still picking on me? Do you think I was willing to marry you in the first place? I am arrogant, domineering, selfish and willful... Haha, it is simply a disgrace to the clan and a disgrace to the royal family! Think about it! At that time, I would rather slander my reputation and beg Emperor Taizong to take back my life, but it is a pity that it is destined and cannot be changed.”
"You, you, you are presumptuous!"
Princess Gaoyang's pretty face turned red, her beautiful eyes widened, her back straightened, and she was full of anger: "What's the matter? I, the majestic Princess of the Tang Dynasty, have wronged you by marrying you?"
I was so angry, but I couldn't refute it, because she was just like Fang Jun said back then. Among the brothers and sisters, except for the prince who didn't care and the king of Wu who showed pity, few were willing to play with her. .
That is to say, life went smoothly after getting married. Whether on the bed or in the court, Fang Jun could give her unparalleled satisfaction. Only then did she gradually recognize him as her rightful son. Otherwise, if her life was miserable, , you might not know what kind of trouble you will cause...
But how can we recognize these things?
It affects my glorious image as the mistress of the house!
Fang Jun chuckled and teased her in a weird way: "Aggrieved? I don't dare! If my wife were not the princess of the Tang Dynasty, how could I have been promoted to a high position? How could I have been so rich? ? How could such great achievements come from the Duke of two kingdoms? All the ministers were filled with tears and deep gratitude! ”
Princess Gaoyang was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to rush forward and take a bite. Suddenly she remembered something, raised her snow-white slender neck, and said proudly: "At least you have one thing to thank me for. Emperor Taizong has a preference for you because of me. Therefore, strict discipline will lead to your achievements today!”
"Your Highness, do you mean that Emperor Taizong was tied outside the door and served with military sticks, beaten until he cried for father and mother, and made people laugh?"
"Hmph, if you weren't my son-in-law, how could my father have the time to educate you if he hates iron? If you don't believe me, look at the children of the civil and military ministers of the dynasty. How did my father take off another's pants and beat him with a military stick?"
Fang Jun thought about the time when His Majesty Li Er took off his pants and beat him with a military stick, and his dark face became even darker. This was one of the few embarrassing moments for him, and he gritted his teeth angrily: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Wu Meiniang and Jin Shengman laughed so hard that their flowers trembled.
Princess Gao Yang couldn't stop laughing. She hugged the two girls together and laughed breathlessly: "You don't know, when many people were watching the execution, some people said, 'Fang Er's face is quite dark, but his buttocks are white', haha! ”
The three girls laughed together.
Fang Jun laughed angrily and said, "Who said this? Fortunately I didn't know it at the time, otherwise I would have fought him tooth and nail!"
Princess Gaoyang laughed harder and harder: "My father said it himself, and there are many people who can hear it. Why, do you want to fight your father to the death?"
Fang Jun: "..."
In the entire Tang Dynasty, there were only two people who could make him respect and love him more, one was his father Fang Xuanling, and the other was His Majesty Li Er.
Let's just say it, we can't go to Zhaoling to seek grievances from His Majesty Li Er, right?
*****
The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu time.
The 800-mile rush from Chang'an arrived at Guzang City, and they were immediately divided into three. One group galloped straight into Guzang City, while the other two groups ate, drank some wine, and took a rest at the post station outside the city. After that, they changed horses and continued westward, heading to Fanhe City and Ganzhou respectively.
The horse's hooves broke the ice and snow on the road, and they galloped all the way to the outside of Guzang City. The knight on the horse shouted: "Open the door quickly, there is an urgent report from Beijing, and submit it to the throne of Duke Lu!"
At this time, the city gate was closed. The soldiers who defended the city quickly put down the hanging basket and hoisted the knight to the top of the city. After checking his identity and confirming it was correct, he immediately sent someone to prepare the horses again and escorted the knight all the way to Cheng Yaojin's residence.
As the New Year approaches, people are thousands of miles away, and the homesickness inevitably doubles. Fortunately, waiting for His Majesty Chang'an's imperial edict to recall him has slightly alleviated Cheng Yaojin's depression.
At midnight, Niu Jinda was wearing a big cloak and sitting in his official room, dealing with official documents. Tens of thousands of people were stationed in Zuowuwei, either inside or outside Guzang City, or still stationed in Fanhe City. , most official affairs need to be handled by him.
Cheng Yaojin is drinking tea at the moment. He prefers to be a hands-off shopkeeper and is impatient with these trivial matters...
After drinking tea and chewing walnut kernels, Cheng Yaojin asked: "How did Dalang perform in this attack on Fanhe?"
A long time ago, he took his eldest son Cheng Chumo with him to train in the army. His performance has always been good, but he has never led an army on his own. Now that Niu Jinda has returned to Guzang, Cheng Chumo alone leads the army and continues to surround Fanhe City. It is inevitable that he will be defeated. Worry.
Niu Jinda put down his pen, walked to sit next to Cheng Yaojin, put his almost frozen hands on top of the kettle to absorb the heat, and said with a smile: "The commander licks the calf deeply, but he should also understand that even a falcon needs to be independent. temper, talent He fluttered his wings and soared for nine days. No matter how good or bad his performance is, he will eventually leave the commander's side and pursue his own future. You have paved the way for him, so let him go on his own. "
Cheng Yaojin was silent for a moment and sighed: "How can I not understand the truth? It's just that the situation at home is more delicate now. Princess Erlang Shang Qinghe is still the Prince Consort and General Ningyuan, and she will spend her whole life in fine clothes and fine food. Sanlang led the army in the East Palace and fought to the death to protect the East Palace. It can be said that Jian was in the emperor's heart. Unless he makes a big mistake, his future is already stable, not to mention that he and Fang Er are brothers and sisters, and Fang Er is taking care of him, so I have nothing to worry about. Only Da Lang, who is the eldest son in the family but has no outstanding achievements, has been by my side all these years. Even though I didn’t make any mistakes, I didn’t have any outstanding performance, and my future was somewhat delayed.”
The second and third children are both prosperous now, but the eldest child is tepid. If things continue like this, there will probably be discord in the family.
As the eldest son, he does not have the corresponding status, merits, and peace talks prestige?
How can one become the head of a family without prestige?
Niu Jinda said: "Da Lang has a simple character and follows the rules. He is a gentleman and has good qualifications. However, the raw jade still needs to be carved before it can be made into a weapon. The commander should also give him more hands to increase his experience, rather than protecting him under his wings so that he will not experience it." Wind and rain.”
How can this be done by always worrying about this and that, wanting to hold up the door but also being afraid of making mistakes?
Outside the door, soldiers came in a hurry, knocked on the door, and said quickly: "Commander, there is a decree from the capital!"
Cheng Yaojin perked up and laughed: "I've been waiting for a long time! As soon as the decree is issued, we will set off back to Beijing immediately!" (End of Chapter)
