2309 Advice
"I hope that Your Highness will be clean and self-sufficient, and will not misunderstand those who have ulterior motives, and then misinterpret His Highness's intentions, causing catastrophe and endless troubles..."

Fang Jun said these words lightly, but when they stopped in Li Zhi's ears, they were like Hong Zhong Dalu, making his eardrums buzz and his heart beating non-stop.

No matter how smart he is, he is just a pampered young man, at the age of endangering the weak crown, and has been growing up under the protection of His Majesty Li Er's wings. He has never experienced too many thrilling waves, and he is still in the process of evolution in the city. At this stage of maturity, I was really scared by Fang Jun's words.

Li Zhi Qingxiu's face was a little pale, he stared at Fang Jun, his upper body was straight, and his tone was urgent: "Fang's son-in-law, don't speak nonsense! This king has long been imprisoned in the mansion by the father. Who can misunderstand this king's intentions and do such a calamitous thing?"

He was really scared.

Not to mention whether he still has the desire to compete for the reserve, the last time he angered his father and was imprisoned, his father had already warned him, to the effect: I brought down this country, and if I give it to you, it will be yours. If I don't give it to you, you can't grab it yourself...

If Fang Jun preaches today's words everywhere, once those ministers who still have some hope in him really do something out of the ordinary, wouldn't all the crimes be blamed on him?

Recalling the stern tone of his father's warning to him back then, Li Zhi was so frightened that he could barely sit still.

Father Huang can even do such things as killing brothers and brothers, his hardness of heart is unparalleled in the world, if he is cruel...

Li Zhi couldn't even think about it!

Fang Jun chuckled, looked at Li Zhi, took a panoramic view of the other party's panic, sighed lightly, and said: "There is no absolute thing in this world, the more you think it is true and everything is under control, in fact The more likely it is to go wrong. Your Highness, I dare to say something today, whoever can get mixed up in the court and become a part of the center of the huge empire, who is easy to be with? These people, I don’t know how many conspiracies and tricks they have gone through , was able to climb to the pinnacle of this power, and whoever treats them as fools and thinks that they can be controlled in the palm of their hands as puppets who control the line, whoever may be bitten back anytime and anywhere."

He never dared to underestimate Li Zhi's wisdom.

In fact, this generation of emperors who seem to be weak in character are not only cruel, but also cunning.

With his benevolence and filial piety, he won the trust of His Majesty Li Er, and thus obtained the position of prince, and then inherited the great rule, and ascended the throne as emperor, but after Yuji Tianxia, ​​​​he eliminated all the threats on the way forward one by one. In the end, there was no one left. Being able to shake the foundation of his emperor, he resolutely pointed the spearhead at the Guanlong nobles who supported him all the way to the supreme position.

Fight back!
However, this man is worthy of being the son of His Majesty Li Er, and he has perfectly inherited His Majesty Li Er's character, that is, he is very happy and cherishes his feathers!
He couldn't accept that the Guanlong nobles headed by Changsun Wuji relied on "conformity to the dragon" to check and balance the imperial power, and he didn't want to get the notoriety of "killing rabbits, cooking dogs", and killing donkeys when they were done, so he supported Wu Meiniang all the way. He did not hesitate to manage the government with him, and even proclaimed himself the title of "Emperor", bestowed the title of "Queen of Heaven" on Wu Meiniang, pushed her to the front stage, and lived in seclusion behind the scenes, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

All this proves that Li Zhi's resourcefulness is excellent.

However, his mistake was that he thought he could perfectly control Wu Meiniang, treating her as his own string puppet, because no matter how arrogant Wu Meiniang was and how powerful she was, he would always rely on him as the emperor.

But it never occurred to me that there are no absolutes in the world, and there are exceptions to everything.

Wu Meiniang, who is so talented and mighty as to be the best in the world, simply overthrew the temple of the Tang Dynasty. Once turned over, she became the emperor herself, and almost killed Li Tang's royal family completely...

Seeing Li Zhi's unpredictable expression, Fang Jun bowed and saluted, and said softly: "My minister was abrupt, and what I said was presumptuous, and I hope His Highness will forgive me. The car has arrived at Lishan, and I would like to thank Your Highness for sending me off. Just get out of the car and hope His Highness take care."

In Li Zhi's silence, he stood up and stopped the carriage, then pushed open the door and jumped down.

Fang Jun took the reins and got on the horse, glanced at Li Zhi who was motionless in the carriage, and led Buqu to gallop away.

……

On the carriage, Li Zhi was angry and scared at the same time.

Naturally, he could hear Fang Jun's warning. Rory had said so much, but he summed it up in one sentence: Don't play with fire, you will burn yourself if you play with fire!

As for asking him why he didn't get close to him, the answer annoyed him even more: You are a prince, and you are a prince without the status of a prince. If you get close to you, you will not get any benefits, but you will be in danger of being lost forever...

It just doesn't make sense!
When I was a three-year-old child, would I be able to lower my eyebrows and let my eyes go?

Of course, Fang Jun's words are a bit arrogant, and there are some points of disdain, and the arrogance is even more infuriating, but the vigilance in it also makes Li Zhi sweat profusely.

I have been relying on my uncle and the Guanlong nobles behind him to support me. Even today, my uncle has repeatedly visited the door to express his willingness to risk everything.

There is no prince who does not covet the supreme imperial power that is close at hand, and he, Li Zhi, is naturally the same.

But now, Fang Jun's words sounded like a wake-up call in his ears - you want to use the Guanlong nobles to achieve your own goals, and the Guanlong nobles just want to use your status as a prince to gain greater benefits. How can you think that you can play the Guanlong nobles in the palm of your hand, willingly help you achieve your great cause, and in turn continue to accept the status quo?
If everything goes out of control, what Li Zhi is going to suffer is a catastrophe!

I'm afraid it is a hundred times more miserable than the elder brother of the crown prince who lost his position as the crown prince...

Thinking of this, Li Zhi broke into a cold sweat.

As Fang Jun said, among those people who can get into the center in the court, which one is easy to be with?It is too naive and extremely superficial to want to play with these people in the palm of your hand because you are smart.

It's not good...

Li Zhi raised his hand and rubbed his temples, feeling upset for a while.

*****
Zhao Guogong's mansion.

In the study, Changsun Wuji drank a cup of hot tea, let out a sigh of relief, looked at Changsun Huan and Changsun Chong who were sitting beside him, and asked the former, "How is Twelve Lang's injury?"

Changsun Huan said: "The injury is not serious, the broken bones are of course healed, Twelve Lang is young, he has a good foundation, and he has been carefully diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician. He will recover within a few months. Father doesn't need to worry too much."

Changsun Wuji put down the teacup, sighed, and said, "How can you not be worried? Forget it, it's a good thing for young people to experience some setbacks, so as to save him from flaunting his might all day long. Save a little bit of strength, if you run into a stunned coward, you will lose half your life if you don't keep it together."

As soon as these words were said, the father and son were stunned at the same time, with embarrassing expressions.

Once upon a time, the eldest grandson's family was second only to the Li Tang royal family, and they were high and high among the powerful families of the Tang Dynasty, but now they have to thank Fang Jun for his mercy and not killing them all...

Seeing Changsun Wuji's hesitating expression, Changsun Huan quickly said: "Father, I have talked with my brother and I think we should leave for Goguryeo as soon as possible. Although my father has asked for His Majesty's grace, my brother is still a sinner. Staying in the mansion, if the news leaks out, I'm afraid it will damage my father's reputation."

Changsun Wuji nodded slightly, looked at Changsun Chong, and asked, "When is my son planning to leave for Goguryeo?"

Changsun Chong sighed and said, "My son would like to stay with his father for a few more days to show his filial piety, but the Eastern Expedition is imminent, and Goguryeo has been dispatching troops and generals to deploy defenses, so we should go as soon as possible. Only by understanding the general layout and being confident can we better cooperate with the army's conquest."

Changsun Wuji wanted to say something, but finally sighed and fell silent.

Although he begged the emperor for such a grace, but this soldier is in danger of fighting, and he is in the center of Goguryeo. If he is a little careless, the eldest son will end up in pieces. As a father, how can he not be worried?
Changsun Chong himself could think about it, since the matter has come to this point, this is already the best way, so he deliberately changed the topic with a smile: "Listen to what the second brother said, His Majesty conferred the titles of father Situ and Tai Tuo? I congratulate my father here. With two official positions added to one person, the father is worthy of the name, one person under one, and one above tens of thousands!"

Changsun Wuji chuckled, also a little happy, but immediately thought of Fang Jun, who was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War and Prince Shaobao with him, filled with depression and had nowhere to vent.

Originally, my eldest son was deeply favored by His Majesty, and his ability, talent and learning were praised by the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty. Now he has to go into exile in the world, panicking like a bereaved dog, but Fang Jun is on the rise, becoming one of the six ministers. center.

It is only one step away from Zaifu...

One wrong step, one wrong step, not because Changsun Chong did such rebellious things in the past, but now the Changsun family is in a stately and prestigious family, where is Fang Jun's radiant and bullish stick?
