Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2364 Comforting the Prince
His Majesty Li Er waved his hands gently and said, "You don't need to be too polite, come and sit down."

"Here!"

Li Chengqian stepped forward and knelt down in front of His Majesty Li Er, with a respectful expression on his face, but unavoidable anxiety in his heart.

On the way here, he had already heard the news that Changsun Chong had sneaked back to Chang'an, then fled, and was assassinated... and Changsun Wuji put this charge on Fang Jun's head, and even broke into Fang's house himself. Arguing with Fang Xuanling, a dispute ensued, and even a big fight.

In terms of political talent, Li Chengqian is far inferior to Wei Wang Li Tai, Wu Wang Li Ke, and even his youngest brother Jin Wang Li Zhi, but he is not really ignorant of politics.

On the contrary, after so many years of sitting on the reserve position and being criticized, framed, and criticized, no matter how dull people are, they have a situational understanding of the essence of politics.
What is politics?

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than profit.

As long as you understand the supply, acquisition, and distribution of benefits, you will grasp the political trend in the court, and you will not be led by the nose by others, and you will not be confused, make mistakes, and be used by others.

After the news of Changsun Chong's assassination broke out, Li Chengqian already thought that it would definitely cause criticism from the ministers of the DPRK and China, because this had touched everyone's bottom line.

Someone assassinated Changsun Chong today, so will someone use the same method to assassinate them tomorrow?

Li Chengqian couldn't guess what kind of punishment Fang Jun would bear in the end, but there was no doubt that Fang Jun's pursuit of the position of Minister of the Military Aircraft Department would die young, and no one could let Fang Jun take the position, so as to learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones. The effect of killing chickens and monkeys.

Li Chengqian knew better that his father had been suppressing Fang Jun all this time, and the reason was understandable, it was to suppress Fang Jun for the time being, and then reward him when he ascended the throne in the future.

But Li Chengqian didn't take it seriously...

In his opinion, the emperor's actions are the methods that emperors have adopted since ancient times, but to him, it is far from being able to quench their thirst.

The so-called kindness comes from above, and Fang Junzhi’s loyalty is based on the premise that Li Chengqian can successfully succeed Li Chengqian to the throne in a safe and sound way. Fang Junzhi's loyalty?
Indeed, now his position as crown prince is gradually becoming stable, and his father has given up on the idea of ​​Yi Chu, but Li Chengqian will never forget the precarious and panic-stricken days. Everyone criticized him, and his brothers also criticized him. The position of the crown prince is eye-catching, and he is like a loner in the whole world, trembling and shivering in fear.

At that time, it was Fang Jun who stood up and supported him. Up to now, Fang Jun has already become a pivotal force in his East Palace camp. It is not an exaggeration to say "the mainstay".

In other words, the stronger Fang Jun is, the more secure his crown prince will be.

Once Fang Jun suffers a setback...God knows if there will be another accident!

He has countless officials in the Eastern Palace, but he is either a great Confucianist who only knows etiquette, or a group of people who have done nothing but failed, without a strong person to support him, he always has no idea...

The so-called knowing son is more like father, just seeing Li Chengqian's expression changes, His Majesty Li Er knew what he was thinking, sighed lightly, and asked: "Why, the crown prince wants to protect Fang Jun?"

Li Chengqian was silent for a moment, raised his head, mustered up the courage to look at His Majesty Li Er, nodded and said: "For public and private matters, I should express it. Perhaps my strength is not enough to save Fang Jun. After all, I will I have faced almost all the powerful families, but I still feel that I should do this. I am not a person with no kindness. Back then, Fang Jun was able to fight against all the powerful people in the world. He still stood behind Erchen and supported him unswervingly. My son, now that Fang Jun is in trouble, how can my son stand by and watch?"

His Majesty Li Er was a little stunned.

He knew that the prince wanted to protect Fang Jun, but he didn't expect to be able to say such a thing. Judging from his expression, it was not a false statement, but he really thought so in his heart.

I couldn't help being both gratified and distressed.

If he is not a prince, but just an ordinary prince, he should be happy as a father if he can have this kind of heart and loyalty.

But since he is a prince, how can he be so impulsive?
The country, the country, and the empire's important weapon, when these things are pressing on you together, you can't act rashly in your words and deeds, and you must put the overall situation first in your thoughts and concerns. How can the emperor possess the spirit of a scholar?
After thinking for a while, His Majesty Li Er tried his best to keep his tone gentle, and said: "My husband is afraid that you will get hot-blooded for a while and do stupid things like making enemies of the aristocratic family. In this way, not only will you not be able to keep Fang Jun, but even you will be killed." Facing an extremely unfavorable situation. The aristocratic family does not intend to do anything to Fang Jun, but they cannot tolerate such assassinations happening again and again. Now there is Qiu Shenji, and then there is Chang Sun Chong. Who knows when it will be their turn? This kind of beyond Actions that follow the rules must be prohibited."

Li Chengqian was a little excited. He naturally understood this truth, but he couldn't figure it out: "But who can prove that Fang Jun did it? Those aristocratic families are just manipulating public opinion to coerce the king to achieve their own goals! In their eyes , where is the law of the empire, where is the supreme emperor?"

For the first time in his life, he had a strong sympathy with his father's consistent policy of suppressing aristocratic families, and at the same time he was dissatisfied with his father's retreat.

Those elites are a group of greedy fellows, the more you back down, the more they will push forward. How can this make the emperor majestic?

At the same time, he was also dissatisfied with his father's weakness at this moment.

This requires Fang Jun to pay the price!

His Majesty Li Er clicked his tongue, not annoyed by the prince's contradictory, but rather happy.

What does it take to be a qualified king?

There are many criteria for judging, but only one is the most basic quality, that is, you must have personality!
Whether right or wrong, one can stick to one's point of view and not be swayed by others' bewitching and coercion. Only in this way can one establish prestige and achievements.

A guy with a weak ear, who is changed in a few words by others, will change today and change tomorrow, and will never achieve his own foundation.

Of course, if the point of view is correct, if you stick to it, you can expect prosperity and prosperity, if the point of view is wrong, it is very likely that the world will be in turmoil and the empire will be in turmoil...

Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er reassured him: "All struggles are just to linger on the edge of advance and retreat. Temporary retreat does not mean that everything is lost, but it has more space for future attacks. Greater power. Similarly, momentary complacency does not necessarily mean that victory is in sight. We must beware of stepping into a trap and being stuck in a muddy foot... Fang Jun can understand the truth with a stick, but why does the prince not Do you understand?"

The prince was silent.

It's not that I don't understand, I'm just scared.

It's not terrible to give in once, it doesn't matter if Fang Jun can't enter the military aircraft department for a while, what's terrible is to retreat again and again, what should I do when retreat becomes a habit and there is no way to retreat?
He will never forget the dark days when all the civil and military officials in the court slandered and questioned him...

But no matter whether he understands it clearly, accepts it or not, the will of the emperor never allows refutation, and must be firmly carried out.

But this time, he was able to call him over and give him personal persuasion and comfort, which had never happened before, and made Li Chengqian's body and mind a little more stable.

Hibiscus Garden.

Inside the Linshui Pavilion, Queen Shande was kneeling in front of the tea table, inserting a bouquet of budding lotus flowers into a vase, looking left and right, took the handkerchief and wiped her hands in satisfaction.

Looking back, seeing Princess Zhende's tall figure standing in front of the window, her beautiful side face with a dazed expression, she couldn't help chuckling, and said softly: "What's the matter, are you worried about your husband?"

Princess Zhende's pretty face blushed slightly, she pursed her pink lips, she didn't make a sound, her gaze was still focused on the sparkling Qujiang River outside the window.

Queen Seondeok got up, walked slowly behind Princess Zhendeok, stretched out her slender hand to gently wrap her waist, leaned her head slightly from back to front, and put her face against her face.

"My little sister has also reached the age of first love. She already knows how to love men. It's great."

When she spoke, she exhaled like blue, and it tickled Princess Zhende's earballs when she blew it, causing Princess Zhende to turn her side slightly, her pretty face flushed, and said slightly annoyed: "Who loves him? Isn't it all my sister? Proposition, mentioning this marriage, if it is according to my own will, I will not marry that devil villain!"

Princess Zhende, who has always been arrogant and willful, still has lingering fears about what Fang Jun did in Silla. Just think about how that person ruthlessly manipulated the people of Silla, and then ordered his soldiers to kill , I couldn't help trembling.

dare not provoke...
