Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4015 The situation is deadlocked

Fang Jun returned to his residence, washed his face, drank a cup of tea, and was about to enter the city to pay a visit to King Li Yuanjia of Han when he saw Princess Gao Yang enter the tent surrounded by several maids...

"Your Highness, have you just returned from the palace?"

Seeing Princess Gaoyang's sleepy face and low interest, Fang Jun asked curiously.

"Um……"

Qiong snorted, and Princess Gaoyang came to Fang Jun and snuggled up gently, her soft body exuded a faint fragrance, and said softly: "Father, why did this happen? The prince brother obviously did a good job, but he was so focused on it. If you want Yi Chu...does he really care about the life and death of the prince's elder brother's family?"

The matter of easy storage involves the country, and the turmoil is severe enough to sweep the entire court. The royal family is even more difficult to escape. Some people will be involved if they are not careful. There is no family left in the frontier, and even the noble daughters and concubines in the royal family will suffer implicated.

Today, she sent Princess Changle and other palace ladies back to Taiji Palace. Seeing the ruins of the luxurious and magnificent palace in the past, she couldn't help but think about the upcoming Yi Chu event. Everyone was worried and depressed...

The crown prince has performed very well in the past few years, so why bother to make people panic?

Immediately he straightened up again, looked at Fang Jun's handsome side face, and said worriedly: "When I came back, I heard that His Majesty wanted to dismiss you from the post of minister of the Ministry of War and seize your military power, is this true?"

She is not worried about the safety of her husband and the entire Fangfu. With Fang Jun's merits and status today, as long as he does not involve rebellion, even the emperor cannot kill him lightly, let alone Fang Xuanling. Being in the south of the Yangtze River, my father had to be scruples no matter what...

But a man should not be powerless for a day. Fang Jun has military power in his hands and a great reputation in the past few years.It is bound to suffer greatly.

Fang Jun smiled and stretched out his hand to embrace her fragrant shoulder like a knife, and said warmly: "I really think your husband has been a fool all these years? Even if His Majesty dismissed the Minister of the Ministry of War and even the post of General Youtunwei , but You Tunwei is still under my husband's control, and the navy in the East China Sea is still influential enough to make His Majesty afraid. You don't have to worry about the family members of the Eastern Palace. Even if Your Majesty is easy to save, you will definitely do your best Keep the blood of the prince."

Princess Gaoyang is sad, the desperation facing the East Palace is not only the abolishment of the reserve position?Throughout the ages, there has never been a deposed prince who died well...

She reminded Fang Jun: "You have to be more careful. The emperor must know about the matter with sister Changle. After all, she is the eldest daughter. She has a different status in the emperor's mind. Maybe you will be severely punished if you don't care about it in a fit of anger. .”

Knowing her father is more like a girl, she knows her father's character well, she seems to be broad-minded and heroic, but once she is really irritated, her unscrupulous temper is more extreme than Fang Jun's "stick".Just now, those family members in the palace repented of the Tai Chi Palace, and they muttered about the scandal between Chang Le and Fang Jun. When it spread, how could the father not be angry?I am afraid that even if Fang Jun still has the power to influence the court, he will be severely punished by his father...

Fang Jun poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "No, you know your father, but you don't know an emperor. In the eyes of the emperor, there are thousands of miles of land, and he has the power of life and death. Women can only be embellishments on the road to kingship." , even gifts, bargaining chips... Your Majesty is now suppressing me and seizing my military power. There is no apology, but there is some fear. You think he really doesn't care about the tens of thousands of right guards outside the Xuanwu Gate, and the lonely overseas What kind of storms can my navy create? The former can disrupt the capital and shake the foundation of the country, while the latter can threaten the coast of the Tang Dynasty, especially going up the Yangtze River to the tax-heavy areas in the south of the Yangtze River at any time... So as long as I honestly hand over my military power, No longer defending the crown prince's position as the heir apparent, even if I stay in His Highness Changle's bedroom tonight, His Majesty will just turn a blind eye and try to comfort me."

Today, Fang Jun is no longer the unscrupulous and "notorious" "lucky minister" in the past. Her reputation has climbed to an unprecedented peak after her achievements. It is easy to seize his military power, but if you want to completely suppress her , It will inevitably lead to a strong rebound from the Youtunwei, the Navy, and even the Six Commanders of the East Palace.

When all the waste in Guanzhong is waiting to be rejuvenated, how can His Majesty Li Er be willing to suffer another military disaster?
Under such circumstances, even if his woman had an affair with his Fang Jun, she had to let it go...

"Sure?"

Princess Gao Yang asked, she was not good at this kind of thing, and she wanted to ask Wu Meiniang in the evening... But when Fang Jun nodded affirmatively, her eyes sparkled, she had both admiration and admiration for Fang Jun. Based on his analysis and judgment, he happily said: "Since that's the case, then Mr. Lang should propose marriage to the emperor and bring Sister Changle back!"

She is very close to Changle, and knows that Changle has deep affection for Fang Jun, otherwise, how could she disregard his fame and reputation, and gossip about Fang Jun's Hu Tianhu's character?But a woman who is so ambiguous all day long but has nowhere to go is always a pity. I can't really let Changle's reputation be ruined by the blue lamp and ancient Buddha while secretly communicating songs?

Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, and smiled wryly: "Your Majesty will give in and acquiesce in the matter between me and Princess Changle, but it doesn't mean that he has no bottom line. The eldest daughter will marry me... Will I be a concubine or a regular wife? It is absolutely impossible of."

The best ending is that Li Chengqian ascended the throne, ignored Changle and his affairs and let them go, but if he wanted to give Changle a title, it would be a challenge to Confucian etiquette.

If it is placed in the Spring and Autumn Period, it will be feasible...

Princess Gao Yang also knew that this was an extravagant hope, so she gave her husband a dissatisfied look, stretched out two slender fingers to pinch the flesh on his arm and twisted it, and said angrily: "Since I knew this earlier, why did I go to this?" Provoking Changle? Your male clan eats what’s in the pot and thinks about what’s in the pot, no matter how heroic you are, you can’t control that thing in your crotch, and it’s causing harm to people everywhere!”

Fang Jun knew he was wrong, grinned his teeth and let her pinch her for a while to vent his anger, and then he was defeated by her tough words, got up and left the sentence "Go to the city to find King Han to do business" and fled... …

……

The soldiers inside and outside the Chunming Gate were closely guarded, and the queues for entering and exiting the city gate stretched out. The gate guards strictly checked every common people and merchants who entered the city, and the long queue moved forward like a snail, at an extremely slow speed.

A troop of cavalry came from the north, their iron cavalry clanging menacingly, rushed to the outside of Chunming Gate like a wind and clouds, and rushed straight to the bottom of the city gate.

Seeing such a grandeur, the guards at the gate knew that it was not easy to come. When they looked closely from a distance, they recognized that the one leading the horse was Fang Jun, the Duke of Yue. Pedestrians chased him away, and then watched Fang Jun lead his soldiers roaring past, not to mention blocking, he didn't even dare to interrogate...

The crowd inside and outside the city gate couldn't help but sigh with emotion when they saw Fang Jun still acting so arrogantly and domineeringly.

"I heard that when His Majesty returns to Beijing this time, the matter of easy storage is imperative. Fang Erlang is the pillar of the East Palace, and he must be cut off by His Majesty. Let's see how long he can continue to be arrogant?"

"You can't say that, what's wrong with arrogance? They have the capital of arrogance! At the time when Dashi invaded the Western Regions, and Tuyuhun's tens of thousands of cavalry invaded the Hexi counties, the civil servants and generals in the court changed their expressions and trembled. Counseling or even pretending to be sick... In the end, Fang Er will lead the army to fight and win consecutive battles?"

"That's true. Besides, Fang Jun also looks arrogant. Have you ever heard that he feels sorry for us ordinary people, traffickers and pawns?"

"You said that your majesty doesn't know what to think. Why do you have to be easy to be a prince? His highness the crown prince's benevolence is well known in the world, and this prince has done a good job. If it is the king of Wei or the king of Jin, he must be better than the prince?"

"How dare you speak unreasonably about His Majesty? Be careful!"

……

The people are not fools either. His Majesty’s royal conquest, the prince’s performance during the period he has seen is quite good, especially the rebels are raging in Guanzhong, and the prince led the army to resist tenaciously. Rescue the disaster-stricken people in Guanzhong. Now countless "Royal Rescue Teams" are active in various places in Guanzhong. Hundreds of thousands of people have been rescued. Who doesn't love His Royal Highness?
It's just that the image of His Majesty Li Er as a "famous monarch in the prosperous age" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people since Zhenguan. The people respect and fear him, and dare not speak freely...

As soon as Fang Jun led his soldiers into the city, he saw a few horsemen standing on the side of the street facing him. A school lieutenant dismounted first and stopped in the road.Fang Jun reined in his horse, the man knelt down on one knee, and said: "The humble official is ordered by the Duke of England, please come to the mansion for a statement."

"Ah!"

Fang Jun sneered, and looked at the many pedestrians on the street. When did Li Ji have the courage to openly meet him, the "Donggong henchman" in private, without any shyness?
"Lead the way ahead!"

Since the withdrawal of troops from Liaodong, although Li Ji obeyed His Majesty Li Er's will, he actually made a lot of small moves secretly, and his motives and positions are hard to fathom.Now that the Eastern Palace has been abolished and there is no way to recover from it, it is not a bad idea to see what Li Ji plans...

"Here!"

The school lieutenant got up on his horse, led Fang Jun and his party straight down the long street, and rushed to the British government in a mighty manner, and passers-by along the way looked sideways.

Arriving at the gate of the British residence, Fang Jun got off his horse, there was a mansion waiting here, respectfully leading Fang Jun in, not going to the main hall, but straight to the study in the inner courtyard, without denying that Fang Jun is a foreigner...

Fang Jun remained expressionless, and had some guesses about Li Ji's motives for inviting him into the mansion with such great fanfare.

Letting Fang Jun to the study, the steward bowed and said, "The head of the family will arrive later, please sit down for a while, Duke Yue."

Fang Jun nodded, and saw slender figures stepping in from outside the door, with a cup of tea on a tray in his hand, with a beautiful smile on his pretty face, and he said crisply, "Second Brother Fang!"

It is Li Yulong, the daughter of Li Ji.
