Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2768 Imperial Interests
The misty rain outside the window was misty, and the rain dripped down the eaves like beads. The murmurs and whispers of the husband and wife next door came from time to time, but they could already be heard clearly.

Princess Changle looked out of the window, and the cold air mixed with moisture rushed towards her face, her eyes were misty like misty rain.

"May my wife leave,

Comb the bun again, and sweep the crescent eyebrows beautifully.

Cleverly showing a slim posture, he is the master of selecting and hiring high-ranking officials.

Explain the grievances and knots, let alone hate each other.

One difference and two wide, everyone is happy..."

These are the words written in the Heli book presented by Chang Sun Chong when they were reconciling and leaving. They seem to be meaningful, calm, full of affection and blessings, but in fact they are "parting is not lenient, love and hatred are intertwined".

That marriage completely destroyed her life, and all her longing for happiness when she was a girl was smashed to pieces in reality, and her life was never treated preferentially because of her most noble status in the world. While giving the most extreme honor in the world, she also gave everything that is most precious to a daughter's family.

God is always so fair, when he gives you something, he will often take away an equal thing...

If I hadn't been married to Chang Sun Chong, or if I had been born a few years later, would I have been able to meet a completely different person and start a completely different life?

Unfortunately, life is not repeated.

Fortunately, life does not repeat itself...

*****
Under the rain, Wei Wang Li Tai walked into this manor outside Suzhou City with an umbrella and wearing rain boots.Xu's manor has been completely destroyed, many places were damaged, and the garden was trampled into a pile of mud by the rebels, so Mu Yuanzuo donated his own manor outside the city, which was originally built by his old parents. In order to please the prince and princess, he simply took his parents to the palace in the city...

After entering the entrance of the main hall, Li Tai handed the umbrella in his hand to the servant at the side, shook the rainwater on the hem of his clothes, stomped his feet, then took off his shoes, stepped on the floor and walked in.

Fang Jun was sitting cross-legged at the coffee table by the window drinking tea, and when he saw that he was about to get up and wanted to salute, he saw Li Tai wave his hand, walked quickly to sit down, and said, "Pour me a cup of tea."

Fang Jun took advantage of the opportunity to sit down, took a teacup, scalded it with hot water, cleaned it slightly, and poured a cup of tea.

Li Tai picked up the teacup, drank a cup of hot tea in three sips, and then he let out a long breath: "Hot soup in your throat, warms your heart and lungs, refreshes your mind, and leaves your teeth and cheeks fragrant! A cup of hot tea is better than delicacies. Erlang will indeed enjoy watching the full development of his chest through the window."

Before Fang Jun could respond, he complained to himself: "Everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River is good, but this weather is really uncomfortable. It has been raining for so many days, and the bedding and clothes are always damp. It doesn't look cold when you can squeeze out water, but the cold and damp air penetrates directly into the cracks of human bones, it is not as good as the cold wind in Guanzhong, cutting your face like a knife, at least the room is warm!"

Although the winter in Guanzhong is colder, the gaps between the doors and windows are sealed, and the house is lit with earth dragons. In recent years, the heated kang has been popularized, and a pot of incense charcoal is even burned. It is even warmer than spring.

But this place in the south of the Yangtze River seems to contain moisture even in the air, especially in this rainy day, even if incense charcoal is burned in the main hall, it can't feel any warmth...

Fang Jun held the pot to refill the teacup, and said with a smile: "Your Highness's tone is full of complaints, but why did this minister not feel the slightest bit of frustration from between His Highness's brows, instead, there seemed to be an uncontrollable flow from the corners of his brows and eyes? The festive color?"

"Haha! As expected of a world-renowned master of poetry, this ability to observe the details is rare in the world!"

Li Tai smiled triumphantly, picked up his teacup and took a sip, put down the teacup, turned sideways and saluted Fang Jun solemnly, and said: "This king has gained a lot this time, and it's all thanks to Erlang. This kind of friendship is worthless." Unforgettable, this king knows that Erlang is broad-minded and imposing, so he doesn't say much nonsense like gratitude, only one sentence, I will repay it later!"

This time, he had the audacity to ask Fang Jun to accompany him to the south, just to accept the compensation for Fang Jun’s property from the Jiangnan gentry, and to make Fang Jun suffer a near death. He should have felt guilty, but the clinker made everyone panic. They raced to their own camps, trying to let themselves talk to them, so that Fang Jun would not recklessly take revenge when he was furious, and the resulting goods and money would be overwhelming.

Made a big windfall.

Guilt is definitely guilty, after all, there was no need for Fang Jun to go south, but even the prince could not help being moved when he saw the money offered by those gentry, and the joy was really joy.

Fang Jun sighed and said: "This is the way of the world, there is no fairness at all. Some people are so poor that they often don't know the taste of meat for three months. Some people are born rich and rich, so why not eat minced meat? Nine deaths and a lifetime of unreasonable disasters, and some people invite the luck of heaven to sit back and enjoy their own gold and silver. Tsk tsk tsk, what is said in the "Tao Te Ching" that the world is not benevolent and treats all things as straw dogs, and all living beings should be equal without distinction between each other...Pure nonsense. "

Li Tai acted obediently when he got the advantage, and said sternly: "Hey, it is not allowed to slander the saint's words for no reason. You have to think about this problem in reverse. Although the king has received a lot of money now, you have also gained the original one because of it." The king's sincere affection. Money is something outside of the body, and it comes and goes like clouds, but the friendship between people can last forever and never be forgotten. It can be seen that you have gained much more than this king. "

Fang Jun stared and exclaimed: "Wei Chen has never seen such a shameless person!"

Sophistry is fine, but you can still ramble like this, Li Tai, can you show some face?
No matter how thick-skinned Li Tai is, he couldn't help blushing at this moment, coughed dryly, and spread his hands: "Look at what you said, it seems that this king is really shameless... But having said that, this time you narrowly escaped death , really don't plan to pursue these Jiangnan gentry?"

Fang Jun took a sip of his tea and said, "To tell you the truth, I am deeply resentful of being assassinated this time. Although there have been many court battles since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, since your majesty's royal court, there has been a compromise between the monarch and his ministers, and the harmony between the government and the people." , Such a heinous thing has never happened before. If everyone follows the example, regardless of the outcome of a struggle, they hope to fight secretly. If things go on like this, won't people be panicked and the monarch and his ministers separated? This is also a sign of the collapse of the country But having said that, most of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River were implicated this time, and they were actually innocent. If the officials retaliated indiscriminately and indiscriminately, some people would inevitably suffer innocent disasters. The most important thing is that Jiangnan is a big In a land rich in money and food in the Tang Dynasty, tax payments accounted for the majority of the country every year. When the Eastern Expedition was about to start, how could a humble official cause turmoil in the entire Jiangnan because of his own selfishness, which in turn would affect tax collection and disturb His Majesty's order? The great cause of the Eastern Expedition?"

Then he sighed, and said helplessly: "How can personal grievances override the interests of the empire? Although I haven't read a few books about sages, I also know the right way in the world. This time, those guys will be cheaper. , just knock them off and ask them to cut off a little bit of flesh, hoping to remember the pain."

The rain was pattering outside the window, and the cold air hit his face, but Li Tai felt refreshed, and a gust of air was stirring in his chest.

He rolled up his sleeves, held the pot with his own hands to refill the teacup in front of Fang Jun, and said seriously, "Erlang's mind far surpasses the number of heroes in the world! This sentence 'personal grievances should not override the interests of the empire', It is really enlightening and exciting! If everyone can regard the interests of the empire as paramount like Erlang, our Great Tang will surely sweep the world and reproduce the strength of a strong man. The whole world will be my land, the shore of the land , all to my minister!"

Fang Jun also felt that there seemed to be a long-lost blood surging in his body, as if he had returned to the "angry youth" years he had experienced in his previous life, so he simply raised his teacup and said loudly: "Then I will use tea instead of wine to toast my Tang Dynasty!" For thousands of years, unify the universe!"

"It's been a long time, to rule the world! If the emperor hears this sentence here, he will definitely install Ling Xiao and Fu Dabai!"

"Your Highness, please!"

"Drink Holy!"

The teacups touched each other, and regardless of the boiling water, they drank it down in one gulp.

This is the case among men. Sometimes when emotions are high, even a little thing may resonate strongly. Who doesn't have a dream of working hard to govern the country and strengthen the army?

No matter how the times change, the seas change, even if the nation that once stood on the top of the world is bullied, and the land of China is full of desolation, there will still be such a group of passionate young people throwing their heads and throwing their heads for the vague goal. Passionate, no complaints and no regrets, can learn from heaven!

The muscles and bones of a strong man and the charm of the prosperous Tang Dynasty have long been engraved in the soul of this nation. Recalling the glory of the past has already become the driving force for every Chinese descendant to sacrifice their lives for righteousness and forge ahead.
