Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2185 Crisis
Letting Sun Simiao into the carriage, Fang Jun ordered his companions to hit the horse first, go to the palace to deliver a message, and then pedal the carriage, and accompany Sun Simiao all the way out of Zhongnan Mountain and into Chang'an City.

Cheng Chuliang had also sent someone to inform the family in advance that the carriage had arrived outside the gate of Duke Lu's mansion. There were already relatives and servants of Duke Lu's mansion waiting at the door. Sun Simiao got off the carriage and greeted him through the middle gate.

Cheng Yaojin personally greeted him inside the middle gate, stepped forward to greet each other, and said a few words of gratitude. Even though he knew that Sun Simiao came to the house for treatment because of Fang Jun's face, he still had to express his attitude.

At the door, Fang Jun ordered the generals who followed him to stand at the door, and if anyone asked to see Sun Simiao, they would block them all.Many dignitaries and dignitaries begged Sun Simiao to go and treat their relatives and friends, but they couldn't invite this god. Now that they heard that they were coming to Lu Guogong's mansion, they would definitely chase after him and want to see him.

Sun Simiao looked at his face and came to see Princess Qinghe, how could he be harassed by others because of this?
The relationship between Fang Jun and Cheng's family is extraordinary, it can be said that they are good friends of the whole family, and he did his part to take the offending things like preventing others from asking to see Sun Simiao.

Cheng Yaojin patted Fang Jun on the shoulder and didn't say much.

They are all smart people, the Cheng family has made a fortune by accepting Fang Jun's favor this time...

The crowd surrounded Sun Simiao to the inner house, and they all stayed in the middle hall to sit temporarily, Cheng Chuliang went to the back hall for medical consultation because of Sun Simiao.

Cheng Yaojin raised his hand to ask Fang Jun to drink tea, and said gratefully: "For today's matter, the old man has received Erlang's kindness, and there will be a reward later."

Fang Jun didn't take it seriously: "Uncle's words go too far. You and my father have been friends for decades, and the junior and Chu Bi are even more like brothers. It's nothing to do with a little effort."

There is no need to talk about kindness, Cheng Yaojin expressed his attitude, so he stopped talking about this matter, but asked with a smile: "I heard that Xue Rengui intends to seek the Sima of Anxi Governor's Mansion, but what does Erlang mean?"

Fang Jundao: "That's true. Xue Rengui is brave and good at fighting, resourceful, and takes the lead and has outstanding prestige. It is really a talent to stay in the Youtunwei. This time when the Youtunwei returns to Beijing, it is estimated that it will be difficult for a long time to have the opportunity to go out to fight again. , such a brave general, how can he leave idle because of me? Right now, the Western Regions are not in peace, and the Western Turks are taking advantage of the time when the empire's troops are all slumped to the east. Although the British Duke led the army to sweep across the Western Regions, the situation is no longer the same as it was before. It is a time of chaos, and Xue Rengui should show his talents."

Cheng Yaojin chuckled, nodded and said: "Xue Rengui is really good, bold and careful, and has the style of a famous general. He can be tempered in the Western Regions. If he makes progress, he will be worthy of a great job in the future. Erlang's ability to know people, The old man is deeply admired, haha."

The two looked at each other, their hearts connected.

Fang Jun smiled and said: "Uncle is broad-minded and meritocracy, my nephew is far behind."

Now that Cheng Yaojin's promise has been obtained, Xue Rengui's appointment as Sima of the Anxi Protectorate is almost a certainty.Although Cheng Yaojin doesn't have much real power in the army now, but after all, his status and qualifications are there. If he says a word, who would dare to ignore it?
The most important thing is the influence in front of His Majesty Li Er. Looking at the court, there are really few people who can compare...

Of course, it was Xue Rengui who fought for himself. In the Battle of Mobei, Xue Rengui acted as the vanguard and rushed all the way, and then joined forces with Xue Wanche to wipe out the remnants of Tie Le's tribes. His outstanding achievements and shining stars have already entered the eyes of His Majesty Li Er.

With Fang Jun's request, Cheng Yaojin's cooperation, and Li Ji's approval, although the decree has not been announced, there will be almost no accidents.

Before Fang Jun's joy diminished, Cheng Yaojin said again: "Yesterday, Xue Wanche had an audience with His Majesty, and begged him to serve as the governor of Yingzhou, lead the army to wipe out the thieves in Liaodong, and be the vanguard of His Majesty's Eastern Expedition. Reply. Between Yi Erlang, is Xue Wanche competent?"

Fang Jun was taken aback for a moment.

What does this mean?
If it is said that Xue Rengui's rescue of Sima in the Anxi Governor's Mansion is Cheng Yaojin's return of Li Xiaoxiao's favor, then the matter of Xue Wanche's request to be the governor of Yingzhou is not just a simple favor.

Xue Wanche used to be a member of Li Jiancheng. Although he took refuge in His Majesty Li Er later, he was not so willing. He never got close to His Majesty Li Er and stayed away from the power center of the empire.In the past two years, Fang Jun has had a fierce fight with Fang Jun, and the entanglement has been far-reaching, and they have long been regarded as loyal to His Royal Highness together with Fang Jun.

In other words, today's Xue Wanche, like Fang Jun, is a hardcore princeling.

Xue Rengui is just a small miscellaneous general with too little influence, but Xue Wanche is different, he is one of the most famous generals in the court!

At this time, Cheng Yaojin mentioned that Xue Wanche wanted to be the governor of Yingzhou, and asked himself what he meant, did he intend to join the prince?

Who doesn't know that Cheng Yaojin is a firm emperor eagle dog?

No matter who the crown prince is, no matter who is fighting for the crown prince, he is just loyal to His Majesty blindly and will never get involved in the battle for the crown prince. His stand is very firm.

So now Cheng Yaojin is a bit abnormal...

Fang Jun was surprised, thought for a while, and tentatively said: "Xue Wanche is brave and good at fighting, but he is more than strong and not resourceful. In fact, according to my nephew, no matter whether he is the governor of Yingzhou or the pioneer of the Eastern Expedition, it is uncle you. belongs to..."

Cheng Yaojin was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, feigning anger, and said: "Stinky boy, why don't you make uncle happy? Uncle is so old, he has been tired of corpses, blood, gold and iron horses all his life, and now he is counting on Nesting in Chang'an City to enjoy the glory and wealth, I am afraid that I will not be able to raise a horse and go to battle!"

Seeing Fang Jun's bewildered face, he smiled and said in a low voice: "Do you think this old man has the heart to fight for that credit? No way. I gathered in Wagang back then, and later surrendered to His Majesty, and followed His Majesty wholeheartedly. , fluctuating. Whether it was the change of Xuanwumen back then, or after His Majesty ascended the throne, the old man never formed a clique and let others do whatever he could. The old man was just determined, and His Majesty was the leader! It is also the duty of a courtier, but you have to reserve it, you only need to be clear about your position, and you must not give it to the mouth, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Fang Jun was shocked suddenly, terrified!

These words can be regarded as Cheng Yaojin's heartfelt admonition, you can be loyal to the crown prince, and even support the kings of Wei and Jin, but you must not rely on your influence to form cliques and try to influence the ownership of the prince!
Who owns the crown prince can only be determined by His Majesty Li Er's will!
In addition, whoever dares to intervene in the competition for the reserve position will violate the taboo of His Majesty Li Er!
At the beginning, I made up my mind to stay away from the vortex of competing for reserves, but why did I get closer and closer to the prince step by step, and even became the lifeline and number one thug of the prince now?
floating...

Fang Jun looked around, except for Cheng Chubi, there was no one else in the hall, even the servants stayed outside the door, it seems that Cheng Yaojin was preoccupied today, and planned to take this opportunity to remind him.

Regardless of the layer of white sweat on his back, he quickly got up, bowed to the ground, and said sincerely: "My uncle's teachings, my nephew will always remember them in my heart, and I will never forget them!"

Cheng Yaojin smiled, waved his hands casually, and said: "Sit, sit, we men, why do we need to be so polite? In fact, your father can see this more clearly than the old man. The reason why I haven't reminded you all this time is that I'm afraid it's just a pretext. When you encounter setbacks, you can calm down and keep a low profile for more than ten years. This is a good thing, but unfortunately, when it comes to understanding His Majesty, the old man thinks that he is a little better than your father... Your father is a gentleman, and I think Even if the emperor is dissatisfied with you, it is just to suppress you, which can just make you calm down, cultivate your self-cultivation, and when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, you will be prosperous and rule the world... But he forgot, as The emperor, how can he take into account too many personal emotions sometimes? Especially the imperial power that no one can touch, anyone who touches it will commit a big taboo, even his own flesh and blood may not be able to forgive him, let alone just one son in law……"

These words have already pointed out the suspicion of rebellion.

If he hadn't faced his own nephew, he definitely wouldn't have uttered these words. Once it reaches His Majesty's ears, it will be a catastrophe!
Fang Jun saluted again, and said sincerely: "My little nephew has been taught, today's words came out of your mouth, and entered my ears. I will keep them in my heart and never let them out."

Where did I give the Cheng family a favor today?
It was clearly Cheng Yaojin's words to remind him and help him escape!
