Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1358
Fang Xuanling's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly got up to salute: "The old minister is guilty...but the old minister is also helpless, isn't it just because of his son who killed a thousand swords and caused trouble? The old minister doesn't care if he is dismissed this time, and he is even relegated to Qiongzhou. No, it just sharpened his temper. But being kicked out of power like this... If the old minister just sits idly by, I'm afraid the tigress at home will turn upside down..."

His Majesty Li Er was speechless...

Shaking his head and sighing, he pointed at Fang Xuanling, and said helplessly: "You, you are an outstanding person in the world, with a gentle personality and excellent ability, you can be called a model of a perfect gentleman. I support you and you can't straighten your back, I really don't know what to say about you."

Having said that, when His Majesty Li Er mentioned Fang Xuanling's wife, his hair still trembled.

Back then when I rewarded Fang Xuanling with a few young and beautiful court ladies, Lu would rather die than obey. In a rage, he ordered someone to bring a jar of vinegar and pointed out that it was poisonous wine. If Lu dared to drink it , then from then on, the matter of taking a concubine for Fang Xuanling will never be mentioned again.

Without further ado, Lu Shi just picked it up and drank it...

At that time, His Majesty Li Er was really scared.

Is the emperor overbearing?
horizontal!
But I'm afraid I'm going to die...

Later, whenever he thought of this matter, His Majesty Li Er felt lingering fears. Fortunately, he had a mischievous mentality and brought a jar of vinegar. If he was really annoyed, he would give Lu Shi a jar of poisoned wine... In order to give the minister a concubine, the minister must die As the first wife, Li Er's reputation has been infamous for thousands of years.

Such absurd actions must be capitalized in the history books. He, Li Er, is a model of a foolish emperor. Even the wayward Emperor Sui Yang never did such a thing...

Fang Xuanling smiled wryly and said: "Although the old wife is a little aggressive, she manages the family well, is dignified and virtuous. Back then, the old minister was just a poor scholar from a down-and-out family, but he was favored by Fan Yang Lu's daughter-in-law and entrusted him to never leave him for life. So this is a little boring, but the old minister can bear it... It's just that the old minister felt sorry for His Majesty today, and even forced him to become an official, so the old minister felt deeply guilty, and he made up his mind to be an official, so as to give His Majesty an explanation , but unexpectedly His Majesty tried his best to persuade him to stay, the old minister is really..."

A look of emotion on his face, never fake.

From ancient times to the present, how many emperors have treated their courtiers so kindly?

What's more, he committed the taboo that the emperor hates the most...

His Majesty Li Er was not angry because Fang Xuanling frankly "coerced" him, he just sighed and said: "I'm afraid this is the so-called one thing, one thing, you are so soft-boned, I want to support you, but you will not live up to it. There is really no way...but that Erlang of yours, um, is indeed the one who deserves a thousand swords..."

Fang Xuanling was slightly taken aback.

I'm just talking about it, do you really take it seriously?
Thinking about it again, it seems that His Majesty has resentment towards Fang Jun. Could it be that that kid did something so outrageous and immoral that made His Majesty who loved him very much annoyed?This makes sense, otherwise, there is really no way to explain why His Majesty not only ignored Fang Jun this time, but really meant to grind Fang Jun hard...

It's just that I don't know what wrong thing my kid did?
Fang Xuanling felt a little uneasy. After all, his second child was really a stick, and he dared to do anything. He quickly asked, "Your Majesty, but what mistake did Erlang make? No complaints."

His Majesty Li Er was stunned.

There's no way to say that. Could it be that your kid hooked up with my daughter?

Not to mention that this is a completely unfounded matter, even if the evidence is solid, I can't ignore Changle's reputation.His second room is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and Changle has to marry and find a husband's house...

So even if you really want to clean up Fang Jun, you must not use this crime.

But I really can't think of other charges for a while, so can I bring up the trouble in Dongshi again?
How stingy!

I had no choice but to hold back the sulking anger in my heart, waved my hand and said, "When will your son not do something wrong? Since the censor is watching him, I don't bother to care about him. Come and have a drink."

At this time, Wang De, the chief servant, led the maid to bring up the wine and dishes, and set them up on the table in front of the book case. The monarch and his ministers sat facing each other.

The dishes are very elegant, delicate and fragrant tea-scented white fish, smooth chicken minced bird's nest porridge, lotus root flour balls stuffed with saury, a bowl of steamed lion head, pure and elegant saury and artemisia siu mai, squirrel mandarin fish, money shrimp cakes, There are main dishes and snacks, and there are many styles, but the quantity is not large. It is not luxurious, but the color, fragrance and taste are all good.

Next to it is a pot of Nuerhong that has been warmed up with shredded ginger, plums, and wolfberries...

"Fang Xiang, you are lucky today. The imperial dining room has recently recruited a cook from Jiangnan. Jiangnan cuisine is a specialty. It is said that when Emperor Yang of Sui traveled to Jiangnan to stay in Jiangdu, his grandfather was in the capital of Jiangnan. Serving as the imperial cook in the palace, it is a family tradition."

Wang De said with a smile while refilling wine for the two.

Fang Xuanling picked up a lotus root powder ball and chewed it in his mouth, with a look of nostalgia on his face: "Speaking of which, I have not been to the south of the Yangtze River for many years because I am entangled in trivial matters in the center. The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed a livable place. "

His Majesty Li Er snorted: "It was true in the past, but now... I'm afraid I've already been killed by your family to the point of blood flow."

Fang Xuanling was embarrassed: "..."

Can we have a good chat?
Besides, you can't blame Erlang for this matter, you can't let those Shanyue mobs surround you and reason with them, and convince others with virtue?This is what my Erlang is capable of. If the master is changed, the grass on the grave may be three feet high now...

"Erlang is not a cruel person, so he did it out of necessity at that time." Fang Xuanling could only wash the ground for his son.

"Hehe, yes, he is not a brutal person. The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have repeatedly provoked, and your family just slaughtered the whole family of the Lu family..." His Majesty Li Er sneered, and ruthlessly refuted Fang Xuanling's words .

Fang Xuanling: "..."

embarrassing again...

However, he had come to think of it, His Majesty's state today was obviously not right, and his words were all in the middle of the gun. What's going on?

His Majesty Li Er also felt that he was a little angry and lost the city, so he changed the topic and said: "According to Xuanling's opinion, who is the best choice for Jing Zhaoyin?"

Fang Xuanling paused slightly with the hand holding the wine glass, and pondered for a while.

He noticed that His Majesty Li Er said "who is better to use" rather than "who is competent", obviously it was not just casually.

In the Zhenguan Dynasty, there were a lot of talents, counselors like clouds, and warriors like rain.

Although Jing Zhaoyin is important, it is definitely not just one or two who can take on important responsibilities among the officials in the court.However, the newcomer Jing Zhaoyin must not only have excellent abilities, but also continue the emperor's strategy of gently suppressing the aristocratic family.

Without him, it's just a position.

Fang Xuanling pondered for a long while before slowly saying: "The old minister knows that His Majesty has already made up his mind, so he should have a favorite candidate. Why don't the old minister boldly guess the holy intention to see if he can agree with His Majesty? "

His Majesty Li Er became interested: "It's so good. In this way, if you guessed right, I will punish you with a drink. If you guessed wrong, you will punish yourself with a drink. How about it?"

If Fang Jun comes again, I'm afraid he will complain, aren't you playing tricks?
Anyway, the candidate is in your belly, if you want me to drink, it’s fine if you don’t admit it...

Fang Xuanling was not as bored as Fang Jun, and said with a smile: "Then the old minister will be out of control."

After a little thought, I dipped my chopsticks into the wine and wrote a name on the table...

His Majesty Li Er looked down and burst out laughing: "Is this called Xuan Ling who knows me, or is it a hero who sees the same thing?"

Fang Xuanling smiled: "It's called 'Du Youzhu, born on the left side of the Tao. He is a gentleman, and he is willing to eat me. If you are good at the center, you will eat it'."

That Du pear tree is really lonely, growing in a remote place on the left side of the road.That gentleman has grace, would you be willing to condescend to visit me?Aixian Panyou wants to talk, why don't you invite me to drink a pot...

This is an ancient poem in "Guofeng" in "The Book of Songs". It is borrowed here to imply that "the king is wise, his ministers are virtuous, and they know each other and get each other."

Who said Fang Xuanling couldn't flatter?

When an honest person flatters, that's called a traceless and hearty one!
His Majesty Li Er was beaming with joy, "Come on, come on, even though I lost, you can't let me drink alone, and accompany me to have a cup."

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Your Majesty has an order, how dare you disrespect it? Drink the Holy Spirit!"

"Drink Holy!"

The two monarchs and ministers clinked glasses and drank them all in one gulp, both with joyful expressions.

Wang De couldn't hold back his curiosity, and leaned over to see that there was a faint water stain on the table, which was a person's name.

Ma Zhou...
