Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4027 Human nature is selfish

Getting off Liu Jie's carriage, Fang Jun rode straight to Jiangxia County Prince's Mansion, Li Daozong and Ma Zhou sat in the flower hall, seeing Fang Jun's clothes were soaked, he hurriedly sent someone to take a bath for him, changed his clothes, and waited. Fang Jun changed his clothes and came out, the banquet had been prepared, and the three gathered in the flower hall for a drink.

Li Daozong was obviously put on by His Majesty today, trying to drive a wedge between him and the East Palace in such a way, which made him very unhappy.

He, Li Daozong, followed His Majesty Li Er's buttocks when he was a teenager, and he did not hesitate to help him during the "Xuanwu Gate Change", but now he got such suspicion...

When he was in a bad mood and easily got drunk after drinking, Li Daozong blushed and his eyes were blurred. The maid helped him back to rest.

Fang Jun didn't know whether Li Daozong was really drunk or not, whether those words were intentional or a slip of the tongue, in short, the lord was drunk, and the drinking came to an end.

When the two of them left the gate of the mansion, Ma Zhou looked at the pouring rain and said worriedly: "The water level in the various waterways in the Guanzhong has finally dropped, and this heavy rain has to raise the water level again. I am afraid that many temporary dams I can't bear the flood, once the embankment breaks, the consequences will be unimaginable. I will go out of the city to check the water situation, and ask Erlang to urge His Royal Highness to let the 'rescue team' participate in the disaster relief, otherwise the people in Guanzhong will usher in a catastrophe. .”

He is a pure minister, and he doesn't care much about the ownership of the reserve position. The world belongs to His Majesty Li Er. He can let any son he wants to be the crown prince. As a minister, he should only be stable when there are fluctuations in the court. Suppression, do your best, and don't have to let His Majesty Li Er set up a prince according to his own wishes.

Compared with the ownership of the reserve, he cares more about the people affected by the disaster in Guanzhong.

Does it matter who the emperor is?
The people are the foundation of the country...

Holding an umbrella, Fang Jun looked up at the misty buildings in the distance, nodded and said: "Don't worry, the 'rescue team' is now in charge of me, and the money and food are sufficient. Once the water situation is severe, soldiers will be recruited to expand the scale immediately. Help as many victims as possible."

Now that Fang Jun was the host, Ma Zhou immediately felt relieved, and patted Fang Jun on the shoulder: "I deeply admire Erlang's compassion for the common people. I will take my leave first. When the water conditions change, I will send someone to meet with you." connect."

Turn around and walk into the carriage in the wind and rain, and drive out of the city.

After leaving the city, I lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, but saw that the rain was vast and boundless, and the heaven, earth and mountains were covered in it. The heaven and earth that entered and exited seemed to be covered with a layer of green carpet.

Even with such heavy rain, there are still farmers wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats walking between the field ridges, inspecting seedlings, digging waterways, and caring for every piece of land carefully.

In fact, a prosperous age is not difficult to appear, only the "government of officials is clear and bright". As long as the officials occupy their positions, do not take possession of them, and issue imperial decrees to the world, even if there are occasional natural disasters, they can quickly rescue them and help the people survive the crisis. Host recovery post-disaster reconstruction.

The Nuo Empire can't be plagued by disasters everywhere, can it?

One place is affected by disasters, all directions support, you help me today, I will help you tomorrow, the people of the Tang Dynasty are a family...how can there be any disasters to be afraid of?
Officials like Fang Jun are the blessings of the Tang Dynasty and the common people in the world.Obviously he has been dismissed from office and seized the military power. Others have already lost his will, regardless of the floods in the world, but Fang Jun is still sincere and does his best to help the victims. This kind of open-mindedness is enough to make most officials in the world I am ashamed.

And for such an official, why worry that the world will not be prosperous and the prosperous age will not come?
It's a pity that His Majesty placed him in such a modest position as Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. With Fang Jun's talent, even if he seized his military power, he should be placed in a position that can demonstrate his ability. Zhao Yin is not as good as Fang Jun...

I only hope that this Yichu turmoil will pass as soon as possible, the court will restore stability, and the government and the opposition will do their best to make the empire's national strength to a higher level.

*****
Fang Jun returned to Youtunwei Daying in a carriage, and was summoned by Li Chengqian.

Arriving at the tent where Li Chengqian lived, he found that the banquet had been prepared. Li Chengqian even stopped him from saluting, and took his hand affectionately to enter the table, and said with a smile: "It's raining today, I have nothing to do, I just want to have a few drinks with Erlang."

But Fang Jun couldn't sit still, he stood up hastily, because the beautifully dressed woman holding the pot beside her was actually the princess...

Who can stand the princess serving wine?

Fang Jun panicked and said, "Your Highness, what's the reason for this? My minister is sincere and terrified."

Li Chengqian laughed loudly: "Erlang sat down quickly, you must know that there are very few people in this world who can be served by a crown princess, and even a lonely person cannot enjoy such treatment."

Crown Princess Su pursed her red lips, with a gentle smile on her pretty face, she leaned closer, holding a jug in her jade hand, and poured wine for Fang Jun. The fragrance like orchids and musk lingered around her nose, making Fang Jun's heart tremble, and he immediately lowered his eyebrows Eyes, cups in both hands.

This favor is really unusual...

After drinking for three rounds, Li Chengqian toasted with the Crown Princess Su Shi, pondered for a while, and said sincerely: "I am very relieved to have Erlang's help, and I have no regrets in this life. Your servant, how can you repeatedly disobey the emperor's order and make the world ridicule Erlang's infidelity? If he is reviled as a commoner in the future, please Erlang stand by and watch, and don't start conflicts because of his father, or he will be implicated, and he will be ashamed of himself and the princess Difficult to take, death will not rest in peace!"

The Crown Princess Su Shi also toasted at the side, with a gentle smile on her dignified and pretty face, she said softly: "Erlang is a genius, his righteousness is thin, and he should have helped the world and made contributions for generations. Man, Your Highness is never allowed to inherit the great position, and cannot give Erlang the right to guide the country... Let's let go of the matter of saving the position. From now on, my husband and wife will regard Erlang as a confidant, and I ask Erlang to treat my husband and wife as close friends, and drink and drink tea at leisure , but no more political fetters."

With that said, the couple toasted together and drank it all in one gulp.

Obviously, the prince and princess have realized that the battle for the reserve position is irreversible, and losing the reserve position is a matter of time, and they will never change their fate against the sky due to any will.That being the case, why let Fang Jun, such a loyal, minister and friend, waste his energy in vain, and still be suppressed by His Majesty because of this?

Originally, with Fang Jun's talent and His Majesty's trust, he would be able to dominate the world in the future, develop his ambitions, and leave a strong mark in history. Even after a hundred years, he would still be respected and envied and regarded as a model. The reason is that they finally fell into disrepair and were no longer destined to be the prime minister. How could Li Chengqian and his wife bear it?

What should be done and what should not be done, Fang Jun has done to the extreme, otherwise the East Palace would never be where it is today, and has long been deposed by His Majesty.

Now, it's time for Li Chengqian to let go completely and let these loyal men under his command go their separate ways, instead of doing it knowing that they can't do it, and finally everyone falls into the abyss together with nowhere to go.

It is unwise and useless.

It's better to stop the loss as soon as possible, and completely give up the idea of ​​​​reserving positions...

Fang Jun also raised his glass, and said in a deep voice: "There is nothing I can do about the position reserve, but as long as I am still in court, I will do my best to protect His Highness and his descendants well. It is also for the sake of Tang Guozuo's continuation for a long time, so that every change of the throne will not be accompanied by blood and rain."

After all, raise your glass and drink up.

Li Chengqian was quite steady, his eye circles were a little red, he patted Fang Jun on the shoulder twice: "Just do your best, if you really can't do it, it's hard to remember Erlang's kindness alone, and there is no complaint."

The Crown Princess Su Shi had already left the table to bow down, with tears in her beautiful eyes, she choked and said, "It is not a pity for my husband and wife to die. If Erlang can really protect the son, I will be a cow and a horse for life and death, and repay Erlang's great kindness." !"

As he spoke, he paused for the first time.

With the loss of the reserve position, life is naturally at stake. Throughout the ages, there has never been a person who has abolished the crown prince and died well. Li Chengqian and his wife have long accepted their fate.But as a mother, who can watch her child go to hell with her?
If Fang Jun is really able to keep his son, and the princess is willing to give everything, why does she care how many kowtows?
Although the princess expressed her gratitude sincerely, how could Fang Jun dare to accept it?Get up quickly to avoid it, and said in a loud voice: "Don't want to do this, the crown princess, isn't it a shameful minister? Please get up quickly, please get up quickly!"

Li Chengqian also sighed unceasingly. In the past two days, he had many in-depth talks with the princess, and finally let her understand that the current situation is irreversible, the loss of the reserve is a foregone conclusion, and even when will the white silk, Poison and wine are also unknown, and the whole family is ready to go to the underworld together... However, at this moment, hearing that Fang Jun is willing to protect the life of the prince, the defense line that the princess built earlier completely collapsed in an instant.

He stretched out his hand to help the princess up, and said with tears: "Erlang is so righteous, he will definitely do what he promised, but with your great gift, doesn't it mean that he has to risk his life to do it even though he knows it can't be done? This is not Gu's original intention."

He firmly believed that Fang Junzhi was a human being, and since he agreed, he would definitely go back and do it as long as the conditions allowed, but the crown princess's bow, did he kidnap Fang Junzhi, and he had to do it desperately knowing that he couldn't do it?

This was never his original intention.

The Su family was supported by Li Chengqian, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Li Chengqian with pleading eyes: "Your Highness..."

She is indeed a little selfish, but she understands that with Fang Jun's ability, if he doesn't care to rescue the prince when the sky collapses, it is still somewhat possible, and this is the only hope for the prince to survive.Even though she knew that Fang Jun might be put to death, as a mother, facing her child's only hope, she couldn't be noble even if she wanted to...

Fang Jun stood aside, watching the husband and wife embrace each other, Li Chengqian kept whispering persuasion in Su's ear, and heaved a heavy sigh in his heart.

He didn't understand, could it be that Li Er's brain was damaged by taking too many drugs, so he had to be easy to store?
