Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2822 The struggle is clear
Strictly speaking, Fang Jun cannot represent the interests and tendencies of the entire Fang family, at least not completely, because he is not the eldest son.

Even though Fang Jun's official title and meritorious status is far superior to that of Fang Yizhi, the eldest son is the eldest son, and the set of rules of "Zongyou inheritance" passed down for thousands of years is doomed no matter what time it is. The head of the Fang family is still inherited by the eldest son. Even if you Fang Jun becomes the emperor, it is impossible to become the patriarch of the royal family.

Of course, because of the legal principle of "Zongzhen inheritance", the emperor would not allow the existence of "eldest sons" other than him under normal circumstances. For example, any emperor, as long as he is not the eldest son himself, then After ascending the throne, in order to secure the throne, he must also kill the lineage of the eldest son who has a better succession status than him.

Therefore, Jin Wang Li Zhi's thoughts are indeed very naive. Once he ascends to the throne, the lives of the princes and his family cannot be maintained simply by relying on the so-called brotherhood. The reality will leave him no choice, whether active or passive. , the result is only one...

At this moment, Fang Xuanling was standing in front of the gate, solemnly saluting like the prince Li Chengqian, and saying such words, it can be regarded as representing the Fang family expressing their attitude to everyone, that is to support the prince to the end .

This is a statement with almost no room for change, because from now on, the Fang family can only be tied to the prince, and everyone will be prosperous, and everyone will be damaged. If the king of Jin really takes it against him in the future, then the Fang family must be thoroughly punished. Suppress, so that you can stabilize your throne.

At this point, the Fang family was at a loss.

How could Li Chengqian fail to understand the meaning of Fang Xuanling's move?Not only to express our loyalty to ourselves, but also to send a positive message to the outside world - our Fang family has already done our best to support the prince, leaving no room for retreat, you can figure it out.

With the Fang family's current momentum and strength, the impact of this statement must be extremely far-reaching. Not only will some neutral people be affected by the Fang family's determination, even those who are now on the side of King Jin will have to reconsider. Evaluate the pros and cons between the crown prince and King Jin, otherwise why would the Fang family be so determined?
It is conceivable that Fang Xuanling's few words this time will definitely cause violent shocks in the court after today...

After all, he is the virtuous prime minister of the country, a light gift and a few words can stir the wind in the court and shake the hearts of the officials. This kind of ability to lift weights with ease makes Li Chengqian not only admire him sincerely, but also is moved in his heart.

It's not just support, it's recognition!

With Fang Xuanling's approval, who would dare to say that Li Chengqian is not worthy of being the prince of the country?I'm afraid that even the father will have to think a little bit more carefully when talking about such topics in the future, and have some reservations.

Li Chengqian helped Fang Xuanling up, but he tidied up his clothes, bowed to the ground with the gift of a junior, and said emotionally: "Minister Fang has worked hard for the country, and his family is loyal. It is indeed the pillar of the country and the posterity of the future! I am alone as the prince of the prince." In name, I would like to thank Prime Minister Fang for his hard work for the empire over the years, the Fang family is loyal and loyal, and will rest with the country!"

There were no less than dozens of guests gathered in front of the entire house, but at this moment there was no sound.

Although His Highness the Crown Prince's remarks were to praise Fang Xuanling's efforts over the years, they were actually a promise made in the name of the Crown Prince—since the Fang family has always been loyal to me, then I am not a mean and ungrateful person. As long as I can keep the Crown Prince's crown, the descendants of the Fang family will be rich and prosperous, and they will live with the country!
These guests didn't show it on the surface, but they really envied the treatment the Fang family received in their hearts. This is not something that anyone can get by publicly expressing their support. Since Li Chengqian said this in public today, it is bound to spread it.

It's all right if he can't keep the crown prince's position. Once he successfully ascends the throne in the future, he must fulfill his promise today. The first noble.

Who would not be envious of such a promise?

What's more, although Jin Wang has suddenly emerged, but the prince's name is in his hands, and he has a fairly stable team. Even today, the chances of winning are still relatively high, so the weight of this promise is extraordinarily important.

Fang Xuanling bent down to support Li Chengqian, and said with a smile: "My Fang family is loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and loyal, and every male in the Fang family is willing to die for the future of the empire! "

After expressing his attitude, the topic turned back to today's business: "His Royal Highness is here, the humble house is full of splendor, and the house has prepared thin wine. Please come in and have a drink together."

Li Chengqian shook Fang Xuanling's hand, laughed and said: "Fangfu's fine wine has long been famous all over the world, and the streets and alleys have heard about it. Today, on the occasion of Fangfu's happy event, Gu Ye opened it up and drank it once, and he will drink it once he gets drunk! "

Then, surrounded by the Fang family, they entered the mansion gate.

A perfect "political show" ended perfectly, and the meaning expressed was enough to shake Chang'an official circles for a long time.

more than that...

After Li Chengqian entered the mansion, Fang Jun accompanied him and said a few words, and left in a hurry because of the task of welcoming guests, accompanied by Fang Xuanling.

Fang Jun came to the front door to welcome the guests, but before he was in time, he saw Ma Zhou and Li Daozong coming hand in hand, Fang Jun rushed forward to greet each other, Fang Jun smiled and said: "Please come in first, two distinguished guests, and wait until after the wedding ceremony , and have a few more drinks with the two of you."

Li Daozong laughed: "Although we are different in age and seniority, we have always been close friends. Today, there is a happy event in Fangfu, but Erlang has to stand in front of the door to greet him. He is hungry and cold, and he is always with him. Turn a blind eye and sit still? Come, come, I will welcome the guests with you."

Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, and before he recovered, Ma Zhou on the side also smiled and said: "I and Erlang are in love with each other. It's not that siblings are better than siblings, how can the king of Jiangxia be more beautiful than before? In this hall The house is full of guests, and even thinking about it, I feel very depressed, so you might as well greet the guests here with Erlang."

Both of them were dressed in regular clothes, with elegant and clean demeanor. They immediately stood in front of the door with smiles on both sides. When they saw the guests, they bowed their hands and saluted, greeted them with smiles, and exchanged a few words of greetings. , go to the main hall.

If it's a stranger who doesn't recognize him, who would dare to think that he is an important minister who holds great power in the court?

Fang Jun thought for a while, and couldn't help but smiled wryly.

It was originally just an ordinary happy event for the Fang family, but with the performance in front of the prince's gate, and then Li Daozong and Ma Zhou as welcome guests, it has evolved into a press conference for the East Palace to announce its strength and attitude to the outside world.

Obviously, from the prince Li Chengqian down to Ma Zhou, Li Daozong and others, they have all sensed the extremely unstable undercurrent in the court, and even more aware of the crisis hidden in it.It's just that these are people with firm minds, and they will definitely not shrink back or even change their families just because of the crisis. For the ideals in their hearts, everyone chooses to hold together and be strong to the outside world.

This is both a warning and a deterrent.

Whoever dares to act recklessly, please consider the consequences of the entire East Palace force fighting back!

Will His Majesty Li Er sit back and watch some people break the bottom line?If the bottom line is breached and the entire court is in turmoil, what kind of reaction will it trigger?Where will the entire empire lead when the tacit consent of the fight for the reserve turns into a real assassination and massacre?
The most important thing is, even if some people really want to break through the bottom line, please weigh it up, do they have the capital to break through the bottom line?

This was the attitude conveyed by the entire Eastern Palace from the moment Li Chengqian arrived to the time when Li Daozong and Ma Zhou greeted guests at the gate.

It can also be said that from now on, regardless of the East Palace or the Jin Palace, all the low-key forbearance before will no longer exist, and the two sides will fight each other on the table, becoming the most mainstream struggle in the entire empire!
And all of this happened after Fang Jun was assassinated repeatedly. From another point of view, this is also the effort made by the entire East Palace force to protect Fang Jun. Of course, this method actually violates His Majesty Li Er However, the effect achieved must be outstanding and effective.

Some things are just like this, no matter how dirty and filthy they are behind the scenes, they are all under the sun and in the shadows, and others can't see them, so they can naturally do whatever they want.But once it is on the stage, many methods can no longer be used under the watchful eyes of the public, otherwise it will definitely arouse public indignation and everyone will call and beat them.

Now that the battle for the reserve position is on the table, both sides are evenly matched and each is the master. If anyone continues to engage in those shady assassination methods as before, he will challenge the order of the Tang Dynasty, ignore the majesty of the emperor, and become an enemy of the whole world .

Who can afford such consequences?
