Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2594 My Heart Returns
Fang Jun and his soldiers Buqu rode to Mingde Gate, called to open the city gate, and went directly to the academy.

A group of people knocked on the mountain gate of the academy, and the night watchman hurriedly opened the door, nodding and bowing to welcome Fang Jun in, but they wondered in their hearts: Why did this guy come out of the city in the middle of the night?

The noise woke up Xu Jingzong, who had already fallen asleep. The master who devoted all his energy to the academy was sleepy. He opened the door with a coat on, and saw that he was taking off his cloak while striding towards the teacher. Fang Jun came over.

Xu Jingzong rubbed his face, stood at the door and asked in surprise, "Where did Erlang go in the middle of the night?"

Fang Jun replied casually: "It's okay, I just thought that I still have some things to deal with tomorrow morning, so I might as well come here to rest tonight."

When he walked to the door, Xu Jingzong discovered the wound on his forehead, opened his mouth wide in surprise, and said in astonishment: "Who hurt this, this, this...?"

Fang Jun stopped, raised his hand to touch his forehead, sighed, and said, "I just entered the palace to meet His Majesty, and I was beaten up."

Xu Jingzong: "..."

motherfucker!

Are you showing off to me?
Fang Jun looked at Xu Jingzong's tongue-tied expression, and wondered, "Master Xu, what kind of expression is this?"

Xu Jingzong said: "I am envious!"

He is really envious, there are billions of subjects in the world, I don't know how many people want to see the beauty of the sky, let alone enter the palace casually in the middle of the night.So what if you get beaten?Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, how many people can't be beaten by the emperor himself even if they committed the crime of treason, this is the holy family!
Who can beat the emperor after getting angry, and then swagger about the shit?

He has followed His Majesty Li Er for many years, and he has waited on the saddle, and he definitely does not have this holy family...

Seeing Fang Jun enter his own valet, Xu Jingzong followed him in, savoring the taste: "What is it that made His Majesty so angry?"

Fang Jun threw the cloak aside casually, sat down on the chair, glanced at the clerk who followed to make up the bed, then looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "You really want to know?"

Xu Jingzong was taken aback for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "I don't want to know."

To be able to make the emperor so angry and deal with such a heavy hand is obviously something extraordinary.Some things are just a beating for Fang Jun and other trusted officials, but for others, it is very likely to be a disaster of death.

If one wants to live a long life and rise quickly in official career, the most important thing is to suppress one's curiosity.

Xu Jingzong raised his hand to salute, and quickly retreated.

Sometimes, the more you know, the more dangerous you are...

The clerk made the bed clean, and there was a spare clean bedding in the cabinet, which was neatly spread out, and he brought hot water for Fang Jun to wait for him to wash up, and then he retreated out.

Fang Jun took off his coat, lay on the bed, pulled off the thin quilt to cover his body, and stretched out his hand to push open the window. The moonlight like water slanted in, shining silvery white in front of the window and in front of the bed, like frost and snow.

Looking up at the bright moon, bowing your head and thinking about your hometown...

It's still been a few years since I came to Datang. For some reason, the memory of my previous life has not faded and blurred with the passage of time, but is as clear and profound as ever.

Man is a family-loving animal, especially for Chinese people who are deeply educated in Chinese culture. Sometimes "home" is everything, and a lifetime of hard work is just to make that "home" warmer and more spacious All in all, there is no more fulfilling way than getting the approval of your family.

He is now in the Tang Dynasty, with a lovely wife, beautiful concubines and high-ranking officials. His social status is far different from that of his previous life. However, every time it is late at night, he still inadvertently thinks about all kinds of things in his previous life.

At this moment, loneliness will drown him like a tide, and gnaw at his heart like a bug...

So his character, who was originally happy with the situation, gradually began to become penny-pinching and ambitious.

It's not that he wants to prove to the world how talented and strategic Fang Jun is, but that he wants to transform the world closer to the ideal through hard work, so that he has more sense of identity.

Without this sense of identity, no matter how beautiful the Tang Dynasty is, it doesn't look like a home.

So he tried his best to keep Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince, tried his best to restrict the expansion of the aristocratic family, and tried his best to change this era.

If the wheel of history is allowed to roll forward without any delay or change of direction because of his arrival, then what is the meaning of his existence?
*****
The next morning, Fang Jun woke up early.

After getting up and washing up, he ran around the academy in the morning light. After exercising his muscles and bones, he felt full of energy in his body. Then he returned to the duty room, got dressed, and went to the cafeteria with Xu Jingzong to have a simple meal breakfast.

Xu Jingzong was drinking gruel, holding a bitten steamed bun in his hand, suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked: "Erlang seems to have forgotten one thing, that day Gao Zhenxing and others came to the academy to make trouble, and then Erlang held a big feast with him. They turned hostility into silk, but the old man paid a hundred guan in advance for food and drinks."

Fang Junzheng took a piece of vinegar celery and chewed it in his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and asked in surprise, "So?"

"So?" Xu Jingzong was very dissatisfied immediately, put down the steamed bun, looked at Fang Jun and said, "I haven't given you the one hundred guan yet!"

Fang Jun picked up the bowl and took a sip of the porridge, and said, "Impossible? It's been a long time, and Gao Zhenxing has already died for his country in the Western Regions, why haven't you given this hundred guan?"

Xu Jingzong got angry and said dissatisfiedly: "Every time the old man asks you for something, you either perfunctory or get distracted. That's a hundred times!"

He was very upset, why did he hold on to this hundred pennies and refuse to give it to a billionaire?It's clearly against me on purpose...

Fang Jun didn't take it seriously, and said casually while eating: "There is still 10,000+ coins left in the academy's account, why don't you go and withdraw it?"

The construction of the academy is entirely funded by His Majesty Li Er's internal funds, and Fang Jun will not save money for His Majesty Li Er. All kinds of materials and craftsmanship are kept improving. He wants to build the academy into a legend that still stands after thousands of years, and become a legend in China. A symbol in cultural history naturally cost a lot.

Xu Jingzong said angrily: "The rules of the academy are set by you, and no one can withdraw half a penny without your signature. Did you forget, or did you play tricks on purpose?"

Fang Jun was speechless: "It's only a hundred guan. The horses raised in the stables of the Lishan Farm have more than [-] guan of food and fodder for a month! How can you play tricks?"

"Hehe!" Xu Jingzong laughed angrily, put his chopsticks on the table, stretched out his hand, and said with a straight neck: "Since it's not cheating, then give the money quickly!"

Fang Jun glanced behind Xu Jingzong, and said, "Let's talk later."

Xu Jingzong said angrily: "Here comes this trick again, it's only a hundred guan, can it be procrastinated if you drag it around?"

Fang Jun didn't make a sound, and asked curiously behind Xu Jingzong: "What is dragging around?"

Xu Jingzong was taken aback for a moment, but when he looked back, it was Chu Suiliang...

"It turned out to be Chu Siye. You live in the city. It is really difficult for you to come to the academy every day at dawn and late, and travel dozens of miles back and forth. After all, you are a bit old and your bones can't bear such a toss. Why don't you spend more time in the mansion?" Sleep for a while, and arrive at the academy before class starts?"

The academy starts classes at three o'clock in the morning, and it's only at the beginning of the hour now, which is an hour away. It takes at least an hour to arrive at the academy from Chang'an City. For a person like Chu Suiliang who is usually not in good health, then It is indeed a torment to leave the mansion at Yinshi.

But Chu Suiliang smiled and put the breakfast tray in his hand on the table, moved a stool and sat on one side, and said with a smile: "Early in the morning, let the servants in the house go all out to prepare the meal. This person eats horse chews. It costs a lot of money, so it’s better to get up early and get a free breakfast when you come to the college. Master Xu’s board and lodging are all in the college, but he saved a lot of money. We have to learn to save a little, don’t we? It’s cheap, don’t take it for nothing.”

Xu Jingzong rolled his eyes angrily.

Damn!Fang Jun, that bastard, laughed at me for being so penny-pinching, you have learned it too, right?
Chu Suiliang stopped looking at Xu Jingzong, but picked up his chopsticks, glanced at Fang Jun and said with a smile, "I heard that Erlang entered the palace late last night?"

Fang Jun hummed, chewing something in his mouth, pointed to the scar on his forehead, and said: "I wanted to admonish Your Majesty about something, but I offended His Majesty, a teacup was thrown on my head, and the blood flowed all over the floor. .Your Majesty taught me, don’t worry about things you shouldn’t care about. Some people are running wildly on the road to death, so let him go. Whether it’s life or death, why should you care?”

Chu Suiliang's face suddenly changed, and he forced a smile: "I just don't know... what Erlang is admonishing, and who is His Majesty referring to?"

Fang Jun raised his head, and said with a smirk: "Chu Siye, why bother to ask?"
