Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3674 The Princess's Heart
The two returned to the Prince's residence one after the other. There were two maids standing at the door. When Fang Jun looked at them and felt familiar, the two maids had already stepped forward and bowed: "This servant has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and the Duke of Yue Guo. ."

Only then did Fang Jun recognize that it should be the maid next to Princess Jinyang.

Sure enough, as soon as the two entered the house, they saw a young girl approaching her with a clear and pleasant voice: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"

For some reason, every time Fang Jun heard this nice voice, he would feel extremely comfortable in his heart, and he couldn't help showing a smile like an old father...

Today's Princess Jinyang is dressed in a rare dress, with a complex and gorgeous crimson palace skirt, the skirt is dragging on the ground, and the toes of the slender embroidered shoes are exposed as she walks.A head of blue silk is coiled into a dignified bun, embellished with pearls and emeralds, and a delicate and luxurious Huasheng is inserted in the bun, making it even more delicate and picturesque.

Seeing the younger sister, Li Chengqian also smiled and said with a smile: "How can Sizi come to Weixiong's side today?"

Having said that, after walking to the table, he knelt down on the thick carpet and served tea in his own room.

Princess Jinyang stepped forward and pulled Fang Jun's sleeve, her beautiful eyes staring at Fang Jun's face, then looked up and down, and said with concern, "I heard that my brother-in-law went to Luoyang this time, and encountered rebels along the way. Intercepting sneak attacks, have you ever been injured?"

Seeing the unconcealed concern on the face of the little princess, Fang Jun felt warm in his heart. He raised his hand to touch her hair, but stopped. The prince was still watching, such an intimate behavior was a bit inappropriate...

He smiled and said, "How can you put it in Wei Chen's eyes? Wei Chen has Her Royal Highness the Princess good luck to protect the body, so naturally every evil will turn into auspiciousness, and a hundred poisons will not invade."

Princess Jinyang smiled like a crescent moon with her beautiful eyes. Although she knew that Fang Jun was coaxing her, she couldn't contain her joy. She pulled Fang Jun's sleeve and sat next to Li Chengqian with him. Yi poured tea for Fang Jun himself, and said happily, "When my brother-in-law went to Luoyang, I went to Sister Changle every day to eat fast and meditate with her, pray for my brother-in-law to Sanqing, and pray for my brother-in-law to come back safe and sound. Sanqing has manifested his spirit, his wish has been fulfilled, and he has to thank him for a long time when he looks back."

In a prosperous age, Buddhism was in chaos, the world was in chaos, and when the dynasty was first established, Buddhism guarded the gold and silver treasures and closed the mountain gates to devote themselves to cultivating Buddhism. Believers, mortgaged land to buy property, saved money to expand temples, and Taoism was expelled from the mainstream.

Now, the Tang Dynasty has been built for more than [-] years, and the world has settled down, and the Li and Tang imperial family have adopted Lao Tzu as their ancestor and set Taoism as the state religion. Therefore, Taoism is in the ascendant. From emperors to powerful people to merchants and pawns, all believe in Taoism.

However, this is just the trend of the times. Some people believe it with sincerity, and some people pretend to be perfunctory.

It seems that Princess Jinyang is probably the latter. She usually abandons the Sanqing Dao Zun like a squat, and when she thinks it is useful, she will put it on a high platform and pay her respects...

The Buddhists silently gathered their forces and operated a series of propaganda methods, such as going to Tianzhu to obtain Buddhist scriptures, for example, gathering Buddhist elites from all over the world to gather in Chang'an to translate Buddhist scriptures, making Buddhist events known to the world, brewing to suppress Taoism and making a comeback...

Fang Jun picked up the teacup and took a sip. The aroma lingered on his nose. The little princess smiled like a flower beside him.

Her heart skipped a beat, facing those bright eyes like spring water, she smiled happily: "No wonder Wei Chen turned a bad luck this time, it turned out to be the Hong Fu that His Highness begged from Sanqing Dao Zun, His Highness loves him so much. , Wei Chen is grateful."

Princess Jinyang was in high spirits immediately, pursing her pink lips, her delicate Qiong nose gave a "um", and said softly, "It's good that you know."

"Cough cough!"

Li Chengqian on the side had a gloomy face. Seeing his sister getting close to others, he turned a blind eye to his brother, and his heart was sour. He pointed to the teapot on the table in front of him: "Sizi, come to pour tea for my brother."

"Oh."

Princess Jinyang showed a sweet smile to Fang Jun, Yingying got up, knelt on the side of the table in front of Li Chengqian, raised her hand lightly, and poured tea for him.

Fang Jun took a look at Li Chengqian, pouted his lips and slandered inwardly: This lemon essence...

After drinking half a pot of tea and chatting for a while, Princess Jinyang said goodbye and left, leaving room for the two rulers and ministers to discuss matters.

Li Chengqian watched the slender and slender figure of his younger sister disappear outside the door, withdrew his gaze and looked at Fang Jun, meaning: "If this mutiny didn't come as it happened, and it was protracted, the day of the father's triumph would have been given to his son. Set up a marriage and choose a date to get married."

After saying this, he paused again, and the sadness in his eyes could not be concealed.

Now that the father and emperor have passed away, even if the mutiny can be pacified, the son, who is the daughter of the first daughter, has to keep his filial piety for three years...

Fang Jun understood what Li Chengqian meant, so he could only vaguely say: "His Royal Highness Jinyang has been ill since childhood, and his body is frail. Naturally, the ministers are very concerned and caring. Therefore, it is common sense that His Royal Highness and Weichen are close. , The body is strong and strong, you should choose a good son-in-law and get married as soon as possible... Your Highness does not need to worry, although it is necessary to observe filial piety for three years, but as the princess of the world, with golden branches and jade leaves, and such a beautiful, intelligent, orchid heart, the capital Junyan will definitely rush , there is no shortage of good media.”

The princess is different from the prince. Once the new emperor ascends the throne, the latter needs to consider the issue of standing in line. A little carelessness will lead to a plummet in political status and even life.But the princess is only a matter of identity. Whether Li Chengqian ascends the throne or Li You is the emperor, or whichever prince ascends the throne, all princesses will definitely be given preferential treatment.

This is the case with Li Zhi in history. Whenever he could threaten his brothers, he would cut them off one by one, either to rebel or die, and the stumbling blocks were completely removed.Then, he was extremely tolerant and loving towards his sister, giving the world an image of "kindness and benevolence".

In fact, the heart is ruthless behind the scenes, and few emperors of the ages can match...

However, when I think that Princess Jinyang seems to be extremely resistant to getting married, and even asks him to cooperate in a good show for His Majesty Li Er, I feel a little headache.

Indistinctly, the little princess's affection seemed to be entangled in him, and he was not ignorant.It's just that he does treat Princess Jinyang as a sister or even a woman, and he is really overwhelmed by such a feeling.

You can't "not refuse" or "not be responsible"...

If this topic only needs to go further, Fang Jun is deeply embarrassed, so he changed the topic and asked, "How does Your Highness plan to deal with Li Yuanjing and Chai Zhewei?"

Li Chengqian put away his grief, took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "Although I deeply hate the two of them, I wish I could cut them off, but I can't just care about my personal anger. These two have valuable identities, and one is a nobleman of Tianhuang. One is that when you are an honorable person in the dynasty, you must be punished by the three justices after the trial, otherwise the world's elites will be in danger for everyone, and the situation will be unfavorable."

Why has the imperial power been constantly challenged by courtiers in all dynasties and often suppressed?It is because under the imperial power, the emperor can make his own words and follow the law, but he can decide life and death. This makes the nobles and ministers panic all day long, and everyone can't do their best to serve the emperor. As a result, the emperor can do whatever he wants without asking indiscriminately. Kill it?

"No rites to common people, no punishment to high officials", this is the inherent privilege of the aristocratic class. Although there are many differences between dynasties and dynasties, in general, it makes the powerful and the common people a natural class distinction.

However, this is far from enough.

For the powerful class, after committing a crime, they can be exempted from the same punishment of the common people, but they cannot leave life and death to the emperor to decide in one word.

People’s hearts have likes and dislikes, and they are more close to each other. It is also too risky to leave one’s life to the emperor’s decision. Therefore, the most ideal situation is that once the powerful and powerful break the law, it can be distinguished from the punishment of the common people, but there is another set of rules and laws to judge , rather than by the emperor.

Of course, this is basically difficult to achieve. It is impossible for a country to implement two sets of laws against the commoners and nobles at the same time.

In this way, once the nobles commit a crime, the best result is to be able to stand the trial of three justices, and then punish them as appropriate according to the provisions of the law.

Now the mutiny is raging, even if the rebels can be defeated and the orthodox is maintained, the world will be affected for a long time, and panic is inevitable.If Li Chengqian ascends to the foundation and decides, and executes Li Yuanjing and Chai Zhewei to death, it will surely arouse the fear of the royal family and nobles. .

It's easy to kill Li Yuanjing and Chai Zhewei, but once the group panic of the group is triggered, it will easily cause the ups and downs of the upper echelons of the empire, which is extremely unfavorable for cleaning up the chaos and cheering up the Chao Gang.

Therefore, even if he is the emperor of the ninety-five, it is absolutely impossible for him to follow the law and act in his own way.
