Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4018 Internal worries of the royal family
King Li Yuanjia of Han rushed to the main entrance with a group of servants from the inner courtyard. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard an impatient voice outside the door: "Come here, knock open this door, but to see the end of the Han Palace. What kind of rule is it that keeps me out?"

"Here!"

A pawn gave an angry promise, followed by the neighing of war horses, which frightened Li Yuanjia behind the door and shouted: "Erlang, wait a moment, my prince is here to welcome you!"

Quickly let people open the middle door wide, and welcome Fang Jun to enter.

According to the rules of etiquette, Fang Jun is not qualified to let the prince's mansion open the middle door, but now Li Yuanjia is sweating profusely, lest the stick will smash his own door again in spite of his anger, causing a commotion in the whole city and embarrassing the prince. There is nothing left, and I can't care about so much for a while...

When the gate opened wide, Li Yuanjia took a long breath. Fortunately, he arrived in time, a dozen fierce soldiers in front of the gate had lined up and were about to attack the gate. If it was that one step at night, the gate of the palace would have collapsed.

The guards and servants in the palace were trembling and didn't know what to do.

Li Yuanjia smiled wryly and said, "Why is Erlang still as impatient as before? This Palace of the King of Han is your home. You can come and leave whenever you want. The servants are afraid of your prestige, so they rushed into Zoubing. Open the door to greet them, you don’t need to be familiar with them.”

What he said, the deep sense of humbleness in it made everyone in the palace blush. It can be seen that His Royal Highness is really afraid of the house and the second is like a tiger. He doesn't want any dignity or face...

Fang Jun had a half-smile, walked across the threshold and entered the door, clicked his tongue a few times, and said slowly: "My minister is also a prince after all, how can he be so shameless as to be angry with a servant?"

Li Yuanjia hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, things like pigs and dogs have nothing to do with being angry with them."

But Fang Jun continued: "...Even if you want to vent your anger, you have to vent your anger with His Highness King Han."

Li Yuanjia: "..."

He really doesn't dare to provoke Fang Jun now. His military power is seized, which is not only a great shame for anyone, but also a ruined career. One can imagine the anger in his heart. Even if His Majesty Li Er is not guilty, he will definitely find a way be appeased.If I accidentally aroused his anger, I just vented it in the Han Palace, could I still point to His Majesty Li Er to support him?

He could only smile wryly and said: "The door is not a place to talk, Erlang quickly enters, the princess has already ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and is just waiting for you to take a seat. I wish I could have a few drinks with Erlang today."

Fang Jun raised his feet and walked towards the mansion, while smiling, "Hehe, is your highness provoking this humble official? If so, then this humble official can only risk his life to accompany the gentleman, and he will not return today if he is not drunk!"

Li Yuanjia: "..."

I almost want to give myself a mouthful. In Chang'an City, there are really not many people who can drink as much as Fang Jun in terms of drinking capacity. It's not enough for him to get drunk with my own drinking capacity... It's fine to talk about polite words, why is it related to drinking?

Later, I can only prevaricate because I am busy with official duties and dare not delay His Majesty's important event of offering sacrifices to heaven. I must be forced to death...

The two entered the inner courtyard side by side and reached the flower hall. The maids standing outside the door respectfully stood on both sides and saluted with blessings.

As soon as he stepped into the flower hall, he saw Concubine Fang of Han standing there in normal clothes, with a slim figure, her pretty face was full of joy and joy, and she waved at Fang Jun repeatedly: "Erlang, come quickly, let my sister have a look!"

Because of the mutiny, the inside and outside of Chang'an City have been closed for a long time, Fang Jun, Li Yuanjia and other important ministers who can control the situation have no skills at all, and have not come to visit for a long time, so Fang's heart misses him very much.

Erlang is neither the eldest nor the youngest in the Fang family, but he is the pillar of the next generation of the Fang family, and he loves her sister even more. Naturally, the Fang family loves and values ​​her...

Fang Jun stepped forward with a smile, with a warm smile on his face, and respectfully saluted: "I have seen the princess..."

"Oh, my sister and brother, why do you need these empty gifts? Take your seat quickly, my sister asked the servants to prepare all your favorite dishes, but you came in a hurry, so you can prepare them later, sit down and drink tea first. "

Fang took Fang Jun's hand and sat down, looked up and down carefully at his younger brother, he really liked it more and more, the smile on the corner of his lips was like a blooming flower.

Blood is thicker than water, and the kinship between siblings has become even more precious after a period of war and chaos.

The maid served tea, and the three of them sat around the round table. Mrs. Fang personally poured tea for her husband and younger brother. Li Yuanjia took a sip of the tea and asked, "Is Erlang here today for something?"

Mrs. Fang said coquettishly, "Why can't we talk about it later after dinner? Are you reluctant to have a banquet and see off the guests after Erlang finishes his business?"

Li Yuanjia looked aggrieved: "How can this king have such thoughts? The princess has wronged people too much! Although Erlang is your brother, this king treats him like a brother and foot. Even the king's treasury can let Erlang Come in and out as you please, take whatever you want."

Fang sneered: "That's because Erlang has much more money than you, the prince, and knowing that he doesn't care about money and treasures, he said that on purpose. If he was so poor that he came to the door every day to beat the autumn wind, you would still say that ?”

Li Yuanjia choked for a moment, unable to refute.

Although this was a bit harsh, it was the truth, and Li Yuanjia could not refute it.The reason why he valued Fang Jun, even a little in awe, even if Fang Jun smashed the house and made trouble, was because this brother-in-law was capable, talented, and promising.If the actual situation is the opposite, Fang Jun is still the same blunt, uneducated, dull and irritable dude in the past. Do you really think that the dignified prince can let him do whatever he wants?

Therefore, even a close relative like my brother-in-law, it is inevitable to measure status by achievements...

Seeing that Li Yuanjia was choked by a sentence, Fang Jun smiled and said, "Sister, why do you need to be harsh? Even though His Royal Highness Han has all kinds of faults and mistakes, the only thing that is worth it is to obey my sister's words and never disobey her." My sister is so cherished. There are too many unlucky people in the world who can meet a good wife, and the family is very happy for her. Besides, has Your Highness ever been as miserable as you said? Apart from such small flaws as lust, there is also He can be regarded as a handsome young man, a hero of the royal family, and a well-known figure."

Li Yuanjia: "..."

Are you speaking for me, kid, or are you digging holes for me?

Mrs. Fang glared at Li Yuanjia shyly, and said to Fang Jun: "This man is distinguished, but he is lustful and courageous. He drools when he sees a young girl who is as beautiful as a flower. You can't learn from him."

Fang Jun nodded again and again: "My sister is perceptive, her eyes are like a torch, and she can see through the essence of His Highness King Han at a glance. She is really amazing."

Li Yuanjia: "..."

You kid promised me to help me persuade your sister to allow me to take a concubine, but now these words seem to make me completely stop thinking about it?

The maids began to put out the dishes prepared in the kitchen like running water, and Fang Shi held the pot to pour wine for Fang Jun, and said happily: "Your two children were taken to the south of the Yangtze River by their father. There is no way. Saying that you are young and strong, hurry up and add a few more concubines. Having children is a big deal, and we must make our Fang family prosperous! In a few days, my sister will be in the noble circle Here you go, balabala, prostitutes are not acceptable, but prostitutes marrying you as concubines is not an insult to them."

Li Yuanjia: "..."

Princess, are you sincere?Don't be so serious about double standards, okay?
If I take a concubine, you will pick your nose and eyes, and your younger brother will take the initiative to pull women into the room?
Quickly lifted the cup and touched Fang Jun, and asked, "Why did Erlang come here?"

Fang Jun stopped giving him eye drops, and told about the prince's desire to return to the East Palace, and asked Zongzheng Temple to repair and decorate the East Palace on his behalf.

Li Yuanjia was silent for a while, then sighed: "The dignified prince of the empire, but he has no fixed place... he's making trouble."

Because he was at home, although Fang Jun always filled him up, but he was his brother-in-law at any rate, so unexpectedly the walls had ears, and the resentment in his words could be vented.

Today, His Majesty Li Er's insistence on easy storage has aroused the dissatisfaction of most people in the government and the opposition. After all, apart from those speculators, who would like to have endless political turmoil?
After a moment of emotion, Li Yuanjia calmed down his emotions quickly: "Erlang went back and told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please rest assured that the king will try to finish the rough tidying up of the East Palace within three days, and welcome the Crown Prince back to the East Palace. After all, the Eastern Palace has been severely damaged, and it will take a year or so if it is to be completely restored."

It is not difficult to repair the East Palace, but the difficulty is that after His Majesty returns to the Taiji Palace, all human, financial and material resources must be given priority to the Taiji Palace. If the East Palace wants to start repairs at the same time, it must communicate with the Yamen responsible for the construction of the Taiji Palace. This task Li Yuanjia is the best.

Seeing that Li Yuanjia agreed so happily, Fang Jun expressed his admiration: "Your Highness understands righteousness, and I thank you on behalf of the prince."

The reason why the prince was driven to the Youtunwei camp outside the Xuanwu Gate was because His Majesty Li Er deliberately suppressed it. At this moment, whoever advises the prince to return to the East Palace, and who is responsible for repairing the palace for the prince, is most likely to suffer from the hostility of His Majesty Li Er. anger.

For Da Zongzheng, who represents the royal family, this is a thankless task...

Li Yuanjia sighed, clinked glasses with Fang Jun and drank it all. He said helplessly, "Actually, there are many opponents in the royal family to His Majesty's firm and easy storage attitude. Who doesn't want to live in peace? It's important, and whoever is involved may be involved. It's just that His Majesty has a lot of prestige, and everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak out."

Are you really daring to be angry?I'm afraid that's not the case. Even if Li Yuanjing dies, the royal family is not monolithic. There will never be a shortage of ambitious people. What everyone lacks is just an opportunity...
