Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2574 Emperor's Award
Fang Jun cupped his hands at Ma Zhou and said, "Brother Ma, I invite you first. Later, I will go find my brother for a few drinks, and then I will talk about the details."

Ma Zhou bowed his head in return and said, "That foolish brother will take his leave first."

He nodded to Wang De again, then turned around and walked quickly to the palace gate.

"Fang Concubine, let's go to see His Majesty right away." Wang De bowed to make way, and asked Fang Jun to go first.

Fang Jun raised his feet and walked towards the Dragon Palace. Seeing Wang De trailing behind him by half a step, he waited until the servant stepped forward to hold up an umbrella for him, and then asked casually: "His Royal Highness Hengshan's wedding is coming soon, is there any help in the palace?" How are the preparations going?"

Wang De followed suit, and replied respectfully: "Naturally, we are in the process of intensive preparations, but generally everything is ready, only some minor details need to be discussed separately between the Palace and the Wei Mansion, and the wedding banquet etiquette must be carefully trained. It’s easy to say, these years, Her Royal Highness Princess has been getting married one after another, and everyone is very familiar with the etiquette, but the Wei Mansion has managed weddings for many years, especially the princess’s marriage, which involves countless etiquettes, and still needs to be learned.”

Although the matter of "Princess Shang" is an unparalleled honor, but it involves the dignity of the emperor, and the etiquette is too many to count.Fortunately, etiquette has been simplified and reformed since the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period. If you completely respect the etiquette described in "Zhou Li" and handle it meticulously, it will be a disaster.

Fang Jun nodded, and said: "His Highness Gao Yang and His Highness Hengshan have a very deep relationship. This time His Highness Hengshan married the Wei family, and he also prepared a few small gifts. Later, he asked the steward of the mansion to send the ceremonial accounts to Mr. Wang, so that he can buy more. It's in His Highness's dowry details."

Wang De hurriedly said: "That's a good relationship. Your Highness is going to marry. The dowry is always the wish of your natal family. If it can be a little more generous, your Highness will look good."

He knew that although Fang Jun's words sounded flimsy, but according to Fang Jun's temperament and family background, this "dowry gift" was definitely a huge sum of money.

I can't help but wonder, if Princess Jinyang, who is closest to Fang Jun, gets married in the future, how much dowry will this Fang Shaobao give as a companion?
I'm afraid it won't be worth 20 to [-] guan, and the dowry cages are discharged far away.

I don't know whose lord will have such a blessing in the future. Not only will he marry the heart of His Majesty and the crown prince, but he will also get a piece of wealth for nothing...

The light rain is drizzling, and the fine rain has washed the palace walls and black tiles spotlessly. The green willows and poplars are dark green. The flowers and trees that can be seen from time to time at the corners of the road are all thriving, blooming the last vitality before the early autumn, turning the original The solemn and solemn palace is rendered more poetic and picturesque.

Turning around several temples, passing through several gates, a group of people came to the Dragon Palace, Fang Jun stood in front of the door and waited, Wang De first went in to report, and then turned around, saying that His Majesty ordered Fang Jun to come in for an audience.

Fang Jun raised his feet and walked in, took off his shoes and put them on the shoe rack beside the door, then entered the hall barefoot, stepped on the clean floor, walked quickly to the desk, bowed and saluted: Jun, see Your Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er was picking up a pen to review a memorial, when he heard the words, he gave a faint "hmm", without raising his head, he just said casually: "Go to the side and do a little work, after I have reviewed these memorials from Lingnan, then talk to you."

"Here!"

Fang Jun responded, pushed a chair next to the window and sat down, and then served tea.

After drinking a few cups of tea, His Majesty Li Er just put down his pen, got up and rubbed his wrists, walked out from behind the desk, sat down on the chair, then frowned and sized Fang Jun up and down, and said displeasedly, "How did you make this happen?" so embarrassed?"

Fang Jun had a conflict with his grandson Wuji after he came down to court, and Wang De has not had time to report this matter to him in the future...

How could Fang Jun dare to say that he was almost beaten by Zhangsun Wuji, which caused him to get wet in the rain?Vaguely said: "When I left the palace, I was careless and almost fell down. Your majesty was disrespectful. Please forgive me."

The courtiers were disheveled when they had an audience, which is really a crime if you look closely...

His Majesty Li Er naturally wouldn't go online with such a small matter, frowned and ordered Wang De who was standing beside him, and said, "Take Fang Shaobao to the side hall to change into a clean pair of clothes before coming back... just give him my clothes Find one and replace it, after all, he is also a minister of the court, like a drowned rat, how decent is it?"

Wang De was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Old slave obeys the order!"

Turning around, he said to Fang Jun, "Fang Concubine, please follow me."

Fang Jun bowed to His Majesty Li Er: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will come as soon as I go." Then he followed Wang De to the side hall.

Fang Junshang came to this side hall for the first time. Looking around, he saw that the furnishings were not luxurious, and there were water tanks, washbasins and other things. It was obviously the place where His Majesty Li Er washed his hands.

Wang De ordered someone to bring clean water, and waited for Fang Jun to take off his drenched clothes, scrubbed his body briefly, and then found a moon-white middle coat and a blue long gown from the closet on one side. He came to Fang Jun with both hands in his hands, and said with a smile: "This middle coat is brand new. Your Majesty has not worn it yet. This coat was worn by Your Majesty two years ago. You should have found a new one for Fang Junma, but According to His Majesty, I want to give you a piece of clothing that you have worn, which is a supreme honor."

Fang Jun's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly said, "Very good, very good."

Fart's "reward"!
This is simply feudal dross. Even if you are the supreme and king of men, who knows if you have any infectious diseases?Giving the things you wear to others will become a supreme honor, and people have to be grateful and tearful... Anyway, I will take it off when I turn around. glory?Then let's set up a room to offer these clothes, and offer incense and sacrifices on festivals and festivals to show respect...

Could this be His Majesty Li Er's reward for stepping forward and setting himself on fire?

Mother, it's better if you reward me with an ingot of gold...

After changing his clothes and tidying his crown, he came out of the side hall and returned to His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er took a look, nodded slightly, and said, "Sit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

He respectfully sat down on a chair on one side, and the maid who served him filled up the fragrant tea.

His Majesty Li Er held his teacup and said: "Just now at the court meeting, I have wronged you."

In fact, he is not a king with clear rewards and punishments. If the ministers under him make mistakes, especially those who followed him in the Xuanwu sect to seize, bravely killed the enemy outside the Hulao pass, and rushed all the way to conquer this beautiful country. The old ministers here are extremely graceful, and they would never be punished if they hadn't committed major treason crimes like Hou Junji's, such as minor mistakes. , chat to cope.

But as long as he has meritorious service, he has never been stingy with rewards.

This is a monarch who can see the benefits of his subjects...

He naturally knew that Fang Jun's trip was purely self-inflicted, and that it had nothing to do with him, but he stepped forward to ease the conflict between the royal family and Guan Long. This act of loyalty and righteousness, taking into account the overall situation, was appreciated by him.

Fang Jun hurriedly said modestly: "I don't dare to claim credit! I am a minister of Your Majesty. I work for Your Majesty. I will do my best and die."

His Majesty Li Er was obviously very satisfied, and said happily: "It is still the same sentence, it is not a bad thing for you to settle down for a period of time, and you can settle down to deal with the affairs of the academy and teach those students for me. There are few jobs."

The most important purpose of his establishment of the academy is to personally serve as the "big sacrificial wine" of the academy, and turn these outstanding students gathered from all over the world into "students of the emperor". Supporters, the most loyal defenders of imperial power!
During this period, Fang Jun, who is in charge of teaching the academy, can naturally gain a rich network of contacts. In the future, students will hold important positions in the court, and everyone must maintain the quality of respecting teachers in front of Fang Jun. How can political qualifications be comparable to that of a minister of the Ministry of War?

If he becomes Zaifu in the future, most of the officials in the Manchu Dynasty will bow their hands and salute and call him "Sir"...

Fang Jun expressed gratitude, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your kindness, I know the importance, and I will do my best for the matter of the academy, so don't worry about it with Your Majesty."

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, now he doesn't expect His Majesty Li Er to reward him and value him, as long as he doesn't care about the private meeting between himself and Princess Changle, it is thankful that he will not counterattack and settle the score...

In fact, he was worried at the moment, fearing that His Majesty Li Er called him to see him just to ask about Princess Changle, so he hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty, the academy has just been established, and the affairs are cumbersome. I plan to stay in the academy permanently. For a period of time, all aspects will be sorted out."

His Majesty Li Er snorted, and teased, "It's not easy, your Fang Er is also afraid sometimes?"
