Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2504
If there is His Majesty's permission, even if it is just acquiescence, Gao Shilian will agree to Fang Jun without hesitation, and spare no effort to deal with the Guanlong nobles.

How did his son die? How could Gao Shilian, who had been in the officialdom all his life, fail to see the root cause?
A mere elder, Sun Guang, was far from able to calm the anger in Gao Shilian's heart.

Coupled with the previous Qiu Xinggong incident, Gao Shilian has a deep resentment towards his eldest grandson Wuji, and he can't wait to skin this nephew with his own hands to get rid of his hatred!
But it is obvious that His Majesty's support for Fang Jun is not complete, and Fang Jun is probably because the Guanlong nobles have always threatened the crown prince's position as the crown prince, so he had to use all his strength to try to weaken the wings of the Guanlong nobles.

In this way, Gao Shilian has to consider the balance between giving and receiving...

Of course, Fang Jun could see Gao Shilian's melancholy, put down his teacup, and said softly: "His Royal Highness is recovering from the cold in the East Palace by chance. The imperial doctor advises not to go out. However, His Highness is very anxious and eager to come to pay homage to Gao Silang, so before the meeting tomorrow morning Come to the house."

Gao Shilian immediately understood.

For the Gao family's funeral, the royal family will come, not only the prince, but even His Majesty will be there, Fang Jun really has no need to specifically tell the prince when to come.

Now that I have said it, the implication is very obvious - I am here today at the order of the crown prince.

The choice now is whether the Gao family should completely rely on the prince, or remain neutral in name as before. However, the Gao family represented by Gao Xingcheng has a fierce fight with the Guanlong nobles, and they are always thinking about setting off a new crown prince. Overturning the crown prince's position as the crown prince...

Gao Shilian said with emotion: "How can a dog be so virtuous, dare to work hard, His Highness came to condolences regardless of his illness? His Highness's temperament is really rare in the world, kind and peaceful, admirable... How can my Gao family live up to this kindness? I will do my best to serve Your Highness!"

Fang Jun was overjoyed!

Although the Bohai Gao family is not the first-class prominent family, their status is too special.If the Gao family hadn't facilitated the marriage between His Majesty Li Er and Empress Wende, and then mediated the alliance between the nobles of Guanlong and His Majesty Li Er, how could the Tang Dynasty be in its current state?
It is said that the most honored minister of the dynasty was Changsun Wuji, but in Fang Jun's view, it should be Gao Shilian!

Changsun Wuji is the leader of the Guanlong nobles, but Gao Shilian's voice in the Guanlong nobles is not low, and his seniority occupies the righteous name, even if Changsun Wuji is dissatisfied with him, from the beginning to the end All actions are only dared to plan in the dark, but absolutely dare not openly slander.

With such a great god as Gao Shilian, it is tantamount to crushing Changsun Wuji to death in name.

*****
Coming out of Gaofu, the sun is setting in the sky, and the sunset glow is red.

It was ten minutes before dinner, but the long street in front of Gaofu Gate was becoming more and more busy.In the past, due to the curfew system, every family had a banquet during the day for funerals, and most of the guests went to express their condolences early. When it was very late at night, they either stayed to sit at night, or returned home before the curfew.Now that the curfew has been lifted in the past few days, many relatives, friends and old friends come here early, offering incense sticks to worship burning paper ingots, and then doing whatever they want to do. In the evening, when there is nothing to do, they all come, which seems very lively .

Gao Zhixing personally sent Fang Jun out of the gate, Fang Jun raised his hand and saluted, "I'm on business, and I have to go out of the city to go to the academy later, I hope you can forgive me for not staying long."

Gao Zhixing is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, hearing the words: "Fang Shaobao doesn't need to be so out of touch, you and I are family friends, it is good to have this friendship in our hearts, don't pay attention to those red tapes. "

This one said that he came to express his condolences, but he only saw that he was locked in the hall with his father for half an hour, and he knew that he had other intentions...

Fang Jun said a few words politely, and left immediately.

Since leaving the Gao family, he did not return to Chongrenfang, nor did he go out of the city to go to the academy, but rode his horse to the East Palace with his troops, begging to see the crown prince...

The imperial guards in front of the East Palace saw the number one celebrity in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, and they dared not neglect him. They asked him to get off his horse and sit in the gatehouse for a while, and at the same time sent someone to report quickly.

Before it was too late, a servant came quickly and said that His Royal Highness the Prince called for an audience.

Fang Jun followed the servant all the way and came to the prince's bedroom.

The lanterns in the palace were first turned on, and the lights were brilliant.

This bedroom used to be the residence of His Majesty Li Er and Empress Wende. At that time, His Majesty Li Er had just ascended the throne, and the country was in disarray, and Jieli Khan was forced to sign an alliance under the city. The entire Chang'an mansion The library was emptied, and Li Er and his wife lived a simple and frugal life. Empress Wende did not buy a dress for several years...

The whole country is hard and simple.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is flourishing, the amount of money and money in the treasury every year makes the trend of extravagance inevitably rise. Even the humble Winter Palace has been continuously adding furniture and utensils in recent years, making it look more luxurious and magnificent.

Crown Princess Su wore a light-colored long dress in palace attire, her makeup was elegant and demure, and she stood beside Prince Li Chengqian like a small bird.

She has a calm and peaceful temperament, she has nothing to do with the world, and she is approachable when facing other ministers, let alone Fang Jun, who is now the prince's right-hand man?

Li Chengqian stepped forward to support Fang Jun's arm, pulled him up, and said slightly annoyed: "This place is within the palace, and there is no one else around, so why such a big gift? Come, come, Gu just didn't have dinner, Erlang Be with me alone."

Accompanying Li Chengqian for dinner is not once or twice, Fang Jun is not restrained, and said happily: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Chengqian dragged him to the table. On the contrary, the Crown Princess Su knew that Fang Jun must have important matters to discuss when he came to the East Palace at this time, so she took a few maids to the back hall and left only two servants to wait on her. .

Fang Jun nodded slightly as he watched the figure of Crown Princess Su's Pinpin Tingting disappear at the entrance of the apse.

There are not many descriptions of this princess in history, but from the many contacts after coming to Datang, this princess is indeed well-educated, gentle and elegant, with a quiet and gentle temperament. The mother of the world must be Li Chengqian's virtuous helper.

"Come on, Erlang eats first, let's talk about things later."

Li Chengqian reached out for the flagon, wanting to pour wine for Fang Jun, how could Fang Jun dare to be so arrogant?Quickly reached out and snatched the jug, first filled the wine glass in front of Li Chengqian, then poured another glass for himself, raised the wine glass and said: "I respect your highness!"

Li Chengqian also picked up the wine glass, but shook his head, and said: "Although you and I belong to the monarch and minister, we are like brothers and sisters. Right now it's just a family banquet, so you don't need to be so particular, just do whatever you want."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp, put the wine glass on the table, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food, and chewed slowly.

He never put on airs of a prince in front of Fang Jun.

Without Fang Jun's great help, he simply didn't know what would happen to him. Facing the various forces around him who were staring at him with malicious intentions, he was already struggling to deal with it. Even his father had lost confidence in him. Chu's mind has been playing for not a year or two.

It was at the time when he was most at a loss and at the end of his life, Fang Jun's appearance suddenly opened up his eyes. How could this kindness not be remembered?
He is not a person who is greedy for power. In fact, the position of the crown prince may not be inevitable, but he also knows that he can give up the position of the crown prince, but once those brothers take the position, his wealth and life will definitely be lost.

He had no choice but to fight, not only for himself, but also for his wife and children, and even for a loyal and loyal minister like Fang Jun...

Furthermore, he has been taught by many great Confucians since he was a child, and he always regards himself as a Confucian child. He is not so proud that one person is below tens of thousands, and his personality is gentle and sensitive, kind and generous, and he is more willing to abandon his identity with others , confidant.

It's the most comfortable to sit and drink and have a long talk with each other like this.

Fang Jun also liked Li Chengqian's indifferent temperament. He drank a glass of wine, ate the food, waved his hands, and drove away all the servants on the left and right, and then said in a low voice: "I just went to Shen Guogong's mansion."

Li Chengqian was taken aback, then sighed, and said sadly: "Gao Silang is only a few years younger than Gu. When he was young, he often played together. It's just that Gu Su couldn't get used to his playful habits, so he gradually alienated him. The first time he went to the Western Regions to serve in the army, he actually died outside the region, let alone such a dandy, but he was a bloody man. It's just a pity, if given time, he was also a brave and brave general, and he fell into the hands of the enemy like this. Sad."
