Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2559
Fish and bear's paw cannot have both.

No matter how much Fang Jun wanted to do something, when the conflict between the royal family and Guan Long was about to break out, he had no choice but to step forward to eliminate this crisis that threatened the foundation of the Tang Empire's rule. At the risk of his own life, he attracted the firepower of the Guanlong nobles to himself.

It is even possible that he has been silent for many years because of this, how could he not be depressed?
Of course, if a man does something, he will not do something, and the two evils are the lesser of two evils. He does not regret doing so, and he will naturally bear the consequences.

Aristocrats have always regarded Datang as a confidant's trouble. In history, after Gaozong Li Zhi ascended the throne, he used Wu Meiniang, Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu and others to attack the clan and suppress the nobles. The aristocratic family took advantage of this power struggle and replaced the power position of the Guanlong nobles.

Essentially speaking, whether it is a family from Shandong or a family from the south of the Yangtze River, there is not much difference between them and the nobles of Guanlong. The central power of the Tang Dynasty is dispersed. When these forces are combined because of their interests, the national power suddenly increases. However, once they have trouble with each other, they will not care about the survival of the empire, let alone the suffering of the people's livelihood when they fight.

The so-called "Kaiyuan Prosperous Age" is the prosperity presented by the concerted efforts of various clans, but after a honeymoon period of seamless cooperation among various clans, struggles inevitably emerged, and the central power was quickly emptied.

The vassals and towns all over the world in the middle and late Tang Dynasty no longer feared the imperial power, and made waves and did whatever they wanted on their own territory. Could it be that these generals who held military power were gifted, and each strategized and ignored the central government?

No.

Behind almost every feudal town, there is one or several clan powers, and they are even the children of the clan. It is precisely because of the political and economic support of these clans that the feudal town can escape the control of the central government and do whatever they want. Dominate one side.

As long as there are elite clans, there will be armed groups outside the center in any historical period. This is the case in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Zhu Wen raised his butcher knife at the White Horse Station by the Yellow River, and killed all the ministers of the noble families of the Manchu dynasty. The last luck of the nobles and nobles also disappeared in the rolling river.

As far as Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiaoyi's yellow robe added to dominate the country, the rise of the imperial examination knocked off the last breath of power of the nobles. Since then, there has been no real nobles, and there is no place like the Six Towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Datang Fanzhen armed group.

The existence of aristocratic clans will always be a cancer of the unification of the world.

For Fang Jun, he can't stop the wheel of history, let alone the change of dynasties and the rise and fall of the world, but he can use his vision beyond the times to subtly influence the world and turn the carriage of history onto another completely different road. path of.

At the very least, if the aristocratic families can be suppressed with all their strength in the hands of His Majesty Li Er, perhaps there will be no feudal towns that spread all over the world after the mid-Tang Dynasty, and the Great Tang Dynasty will not flourish and decline to collapse.

Not to mention the dark period after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, when the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms almost exhausted China's heritage...

It can be said that neither the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties have ever been able to reproduce the prosperity of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, all because of the chaotic wars in the world during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and the exhaustion of vitality in Shenzhou.

……

Fang Jun took a sip of tea and sighed faintly.

Travelers also have their own depression. If they don’t know the future and where to go, they can probably just drift with the tide, just want to be at ease for a lifetime, and leave a name in history. Can you let the family members run rampant with peace of mind, and send this old empire to the end, causing the people of this world to be displaced again and again, and they are slaughtered like dolphins?
To know too much is to carry too much.

He doesn't advocate power, and he doesn't yearn for the so-called one person under tens of thousands of people, but if he wants to set things right, make a difference, and live up to his conscience, he can only continue to grab power, and one day he will be able to control the empire. The power of Jiangshan.

There is a long way to go……

*****
Back in the back house, Fang Jun was still depressed.

He thought that he had planned very well, and only breaking off one of the Guanlong disciples' legs would not only prevent the nobles of Guanlong from seeing him as a thorn in their side, wishing to kill him quickly, but also taking advantage of the selfishness of human nature and different ideas. One point, the successful creation of an irreparable rift among the nobles of Guanlong will probably lead to fierce internal struggles in the future, and the split is only one step away.

Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji was so determined and vicious that he did not hesitate to force Changsun Huan to death in order to apologize to the nobles of Guanlong, and even put Fang Jun into an unprecedented dangerous place.

Not surprisingly, the entire Guanlong Group will mobilize the most powerful energy, and it is urgent to get rid of him as soon as possible.

This murderous intent is not only to dismiss him from office, but also to dispatch countless dead men to carry out ferocious assassinations anytime and anywhere.

Such a violent method is certainly a violation of the usual bottom line of court struggle, but at such a sensitive time point, His Majesty Li Er's heart is whether the Eastern Expedition can be carried out smoothly, and then he will expand the territory and achieve grand dominance. Long nobleman has a lot of good looks, no matter how challenging his bottom line, he will just turn a blind eye.

No matter how important Fang Jun is, he cannot be more important than Dongzheng.

He can only ask for blessings, pray to gods and worship Buddha, and hope that the gods will take care of him, so that he will not die tragically under the assassination arrow...

……

The back house was completely silent, and the servants and maids were all on tiptoe when they came in and out, their expressions were serious and they did not dare to make a sound. After all, such a big event happened to the eldest grandson’s family who lived in the same square, and now they are preparing for the funeral. Who would not know about the death of eldest grandson Huan Behind him is the shadow of his own Erlang?
That's the eldest grandson's family!
The two families have always been hostile in the past few years. The sons of the Changsun family escaped and died. The Changsun Chong was dragged by his own Erlang between Chang'an Fang City by his own thigh. He lost face and finally embarked on the road of conspiracy , Even Heli with Princess Changle is said to be related to his own Erlang, and he has been assassinated several times since then.The death of Changsun Dan was blamed on Erlang by Changsun Wuji at the beginning, and Erlang was almost convicted and beheaded. Now Changsun Huan was indirectly forced to death by Erlang...

Counting with his fingers, several of Changsun Wuji's sons have been lost under Erlang's hands. With the temper of Changsun Wuji and others, how can they let it go?
From now on, the Fang family and the eldest grandson's family will not only be hostile, but they will never die...

So seeing my own Erlang sitting in the hall with a gloomy expression, the servants all dared not show their air, for fear of offending this young master.

Princess Gao Yang and Xiao Shu'er came out from the inner hall hand in hand, and sat around Fang Jun. Wu Meiniang also fixed a table of meals, and ordered the maids to put them on the dining table in the hall, and said to Fang Jun warmly: "Mr. Meal?"

As soon as she said this, Fang Jun suddenly "cooed" alone.

Leaving the city early in the morning, I originally wanted to go to the academy for dinner, but I met Princess Changle who was in the city, and invited her to have breakfast with her sincerely. I wished to be able to get closer to the beautiful woman, but unexpectedly ran into Weifu. His Majesty Li Er who is visiting...

Immediately afterwards was the death of Changsun Huan. Until now, he had just drank a few cups of hot tea in his father's study.

People are like iron, rice is steel, no matter how sad and depressed, you have to eat enough before talking...

Immediately got up and went to the dining table, said with a smile: "It's already noon, let's have dinner together."

He was too busy recently, his wives and concubines seldom had a peaceful meal with him at home, so they all sat at the dining table and ate together.

The food is not luxurious, six dishes and one soup, but there are all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat, and a pot of warm rice wine. In this wet and cold weather, with a beautiful wife and concubine by his side, and a few sips of rice wine, the days are simply amazing. Don't get too comfortable.

Fang Jun also temporarily put his troubles behind him and enjoyed the warmth of his family with all his heart.

Wu Meiniang raised her slender hand to pour Fang Jun a glass of wine, and put a lotus root pork ribs soup in front of Xiao Shu'er, which is good for confinement, then raised her head and said to Fang Jun: "I am afraid that the court is not peaceful in the recent period, Mr. Lang It’s better to stay in the academy for a while, leave the affairs of the Ministry of War to Cui Dunli and the others, and seldom come back from the mansion, so as not to give opportunities to thieves with ulterior motives.”

When she said this, Princess Gao Yang and Xiao Shu'er immediately became nervous.

Fang Jun turned pale with fright when he saw Xiao Shu'er's small face. Knowing that she was pregnant, he couldn't bear to be frightened, so he smiled slightly and said softly: "Why is this? My lord is the champion of the three armies, and the soldiers around him are all arrogant and fierce. General, if anyone wants to harm me, it is still far away! Besides, at worst, you can wear a set of iron armor on your body. It is invulnerable to swords and guns, and the diamond is not broken. Is it possible that those thieves can still get the thunder?"

He said it easily, but the wives and concubines were worried about his safety, but they couldn't relax.
