Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1846 The Emperor is Insidious
The Tang Dynasty did not prohibit concubines from taking concubines, but it was a bit disrespectful to talk about sons taking concubines in front of their parents-in-law. Fang Xuanling was also tender-looking, so it was embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, it's not that Erlang is good at fishing and hunting. This matter is decided by the old minister...Since His Highness Gao Yang married the Fang family, he has been virtuous, virtuous, gentle and filial. The old minister and his wife can wake up with a smile every time they go to bed. Such a beautiful woman, how can you be so kind?" It’s really impossible to ask for it in a dream! The Xiao family mentioned this matter long ago, but the old minister and Erlang declined several times. However, Song Guogong and the old minister have been friends for decades, and this time they went to Huating Town just for this matter. Face... I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

Fang Xuanling looked ashamed.

His Majesty Li Er nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile: "I'm just asking, Xuanling, don't be overwhelmed."

In the early years, Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu did have a very good relationship. Although the two people are a little older, they have the same gentle temperament, the same beautiful heart, and even the way of doing things and their usual preferences are roughly the same. Therefore, they are very compatible with each other.

It was only later that the forces of the DPRK and China clashed, and behind the two stood a different interest group with different demands. After several conflicts, the relationship gradually faded.

But this does not mean that the two are estranged, it's just that they can't help it. If one day both of them return to their hometowns, I'm afraid they can still get together every now and then, drinking tea and drinking, and criticizing current affairs.

Besides, he also knows that Fang Xuanling is a real gentleman, and the beauty of a gentleman, Xiao Yu can put aside his identity and face all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, how could Fang Xuanling have the heart to refuse?

So His Majesty Li Er was dissatisfied with Xiao Yu in this matter, but it definitely did not affect Fang Xuanling.

However, he thought so in his heart, how could Fang Xuanling dare to think so simply?

"That's just to ask"... If someone else said this, it might be the meaning, but as an emperor, every word and deed has a deep meaning. If anyone really thinks that the emperor just "asks", then congratulations, you will be an official Returning home is the best end for you. If you are unlucky, you may not have a good end...

Seeing Fang Xuanling's fearful expression, His Majesty Li Er also realized that he had said something wrong.

He intended to make fun of it, but he didn't expect to frighten Fang Xuanling, an honest person...

"Xuanling doesn't need to worry about it. Why is it surprising that a man has three wives and four concubines? Fang Jun is a capable man, and his future will definitely be in the political affairs hall. Such a handsome young man, it's too late for someone to like to protect him. It’s just that the Xiao family is a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, known as the leader of scholars, but for the sake of the power in Fang Jun’s hands, he humbly surrendered his status, which makes me quite disdainful.”

This is really not comforting.

He himself has a flirtatious personality, not only the good-looking ones who go to the harem, but also those beauties who have special relationships and special identities that can produce some paradoxical pleasure at certain times ...

Although there are not many concubines in his harem, and it is far from the "72 concubines of the Sixth Palace of the Three Palaces", there was Empress Xiao who was over sixty and still radiant when she came back from Turkic, and now there is even a 13-year-old empress Huzhou Great Wall Xu Chongrong, who has not yet reached the age of 15 after entering the palace, can be said to have their own beauty.

Therefore, he never thought there was anything wrong with the fact that the ministers under him were fond of fishing.

In the world of life, where does the so-called come from?
Only wine, sex, wealth, gas, and power...

He respects himself and others, so even if it is his son-in-law, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with taking a concubine. As long as he can continue to take care of the princess and love each other, it doesn't matter how many concubines he takes.

But Xiao's behavior really made him dissatisfied.

Fang Jun can be regarded as the heir of the prime minister he appointed by himself. It may be difficult to be promoted in the Zhenguan Dynasty, but as long as the prince ascends the throne, Fang Jun must be a member of the political affairs hall, and even the position of the head of the prime minister has already been reserved. As long as you don't make big mistakes, you will never run away.

His Majesty Li Er is very satisfied with every aspect of Fang Jun, but the only thing he is unhappy about is being entangled with Chang Le...

If you like women, go out and look for them. Why are you always staring at my daughter? !

But thinking of this at this moment, his heart suddenly moved, and he said to Fang Xuanling: "After you go back, go and find out what Song Guogong said. If you don't mention anything else, just mention the matter of naming Sado Island with the title of Changle."

Fang Xuanling was quite puzzled, but he didn't ask again.

The emperor's mind, even if Fang Xuanling is really strategic, he may not be able to speculate wildly. The status is different, the angle of looking at things is different, and the thinking is naturally different.

*****
After eating and coming out of the palace, Fang Xuanling was a little sleepy, but thinking of His Majesty Li Er's instructions just now, he had to order the coachman to go to the Duke of Song's mansion.

When they arrived at the gate of Duke Song's mansion, the coachman stepped forward to report his name, and the disciple hurried inside to report.

After Xiao Yu came back from the south of the Yangtze River, he fell ill for a while, and he was lying down in the bedroom. Two delicate maids, one on the left and one on the right, slowly massaged his shoulders and arms with four soft, plain hands. Fang Xuanling came to the door, turned over quickly, changed into a set of normal clothes, and went out to greet her in person.

The two had an old relationship for many years, and there was no troublesome matter of opening the middle door. Fang Xuanling got out of the carriage, and followed Xiao Yu into the mansion through the corner door on one side.

Of course, if Fang Xuanling visits as an in-law after the marriage, no matter how good the relationship was in the past, the necessary etiquette is absolutely indispensable...

When they arrived at the main hall, Xiao Yu ordered the maidservant to serve tea, then drove everyone away, and asked: "Xuanling entered the palace in the morning, and now he came to the door in person, could it be that His Majesty has something to say?"

Fang Xuanling wondered: "Song Guogong still sent someone to watch Fang Mou's whereabouts?"

Xiao Yu said: "The two of us seem to be in-laws, why is someone staring at you? It's just that Da Lang entered the palace to prepare for this year's grand ceremony, and just happened to see you enter the palace, so come back and tell me."

His eldest son, Xiao Rui, had just been transferred to Taichang Temple not long ago. Taichang Temple is in charge of rites and music, suburban temples, shrines, altars, and mausoleums. It is very busy every New Year's Eve, and the emperor will be in charge in early spring next year. During the Eastern Expedition, there were many matters such as worshiping heaven, ancestors, divination, etc., and it was busier than in previous years.

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Da Lang has a bright personality and is indifferent to fame and fortune. Taichang Temple is a suitable place for him."

Whoever has a bright temper and is indifferent to fame and fortune is actually a bit out of gregarious and arrogant. If he is placed in a place where the six yamen gather together, he may suffer a lot of losses, but in a relatively pure yamen like Taichang Temple Appropriate.

How could Xiao Yu not know the virtues of her son?
With a wry smile, he said, "I thought that Da Lang would be upright and upright, and that he would be able to inherit the family business in the future, but he didn't know practical things and only knew how to talk. I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to make great achievements. But Xuanling, you are really enviable." Dalang is knowledgeable, intelligent, generous and benevolent, and Erlang is heroic and shows his sharpness... Having a child is like the last love of the house! Xuanling's blessing, I am very respectful."

Fang Xuanling smiled, but didn't answer.

Are you cheating on my son, or praising your son-in-law?
After taking a sip of tea, Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "Just now in the palace, His Majesty mentioned that he intends to change the name of Sado Island. After all, it is the name of the Japanese, and it is really inconvenient to call it normally."

Xiao Yu said casually: "Then change it? It's just a name, who else would go against His Majesty?"

Fang Xuanling paused, and said: "Your Majesty wants to name it after the title of Princess Changle."

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment: "Princess Changle? Changle Island? It's pretty good, easy to read, and the lottery head is also good...uh..."

In the middle of speaking, Xiao Yu suddenly came to his senses.

Not right!

If it is just naming an island, who would oppose the emperor in the Tang Dynasty?Is it worth calling Fang Xuanling to the palace to talk about it?How could Fang Xuanling have to go out of the palace with his front foot, and then ran to his own mansion to inform him of this?

After all, he is the top politician in the Tang Dynasty, and he has a soul in his heart. After a little thought, he can immediately understand the emperor's intentions...

Xiao Yudang said decisively: "Absolutely not! Your Majesty's move is to test the will of our ministers and workers. If you agree to name Sado Island with the title of Princess Changle today, then you will have to bring up the feudal world again tomorrow! Xuanling, you are confused! Why didn't you speak up and remonstrate at that time?"

Fang Xuanling didn't answer, but reminded: "Your Majesty just told me that after leaving the palace, I will tell you this matter, Duke Song, and I will specifically point it out so that I can see that you know that you are under the title of Princess Changle. After naming Sado Island, it is suitable to react..."

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze: "Whether it's Princess Changle or Princess Jinyang, isn't it just an excuse? It's just to test the will of the officials. If everyone agrees, they can know that everyone The views on overseas lands are the same as domestic ones. Since everyone does not object to naming the island of Wa Kingdom with the title of Princess Changle, then it is very likely that the issue of feudal world will be brought up again. The fiefdoms are placed on the land conquered by the surrounding countries... It doesn't matter if there is not enough land, just start a few more wars and fight down a little more. At that time, it will be regarded as the emperor's concession, so everyone should not be aggressive? It's too much... oh, it's not good! The emperor is treacherous!"

He was reasoning here, guessing the real intention of the emperor, but then he woke up suddenly, shouted, and his complexion changed drastically!
