Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4240

The key to punishing Chai Zhewei is not the Sacred Heart, but the choice between purging Gangji and winning people's hearts.

Li Chengqian decided to choose the latter.

So I just went along with the flow and sold Princess Baling's affection, and let go of Chai Zhewei's defeat...

When Princess Baling thanked Dade and left, Fang Jun also left and went back to the residence, Empress Su asked someone to serve Li Chengqian to change into a set of regular clothes after taking a bath, and went to the flower hall of the back hall to have dinner together.

Empress Su's slender hand filled a glass of wine and put it in front of him. Li Chengqian took a sip, ate a mouthful of food, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the idea of ​​the empress talking like that just now?"

The queen's words and deeds before seemed to be "pimping" Fang Jun, which made him feel uncomfortable, but because of the queen's face, he had to be perfunctory, and there was no one around at the moment, so he asked the queen what she wanted to do.

The affair between Changle and Fang Jun has already caused him a headache, and Sizi also has a good impression of Fang Jun. I heard that Du He often fights with Cheng Yang, the reason is that Cheng Yang and Fang Jun secretly communicated a song... If more How about the last Baling?

No matter how much he favors Fang Jun, he never wants to see Fang Jun harming a group of princesses by himself, trampling the reputation of Li Tang's royal family under his feet...

The queen sat kneeling on one side, her slender waist was straight and supple, her hair bun was as gorgeous as a palace dress, revealing a section of her snow-white and slender neck, and her beautiful smile was like Du Dan's dew: "Your Majesty is always so upright... Nowadays, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the most trustworthy person is the Duke of Yue. The so-called kindness comes from above, and there is no such thing as a reward, but how should you grant and reward the Duke of Yue?"

Li Chengqian froze for a moment, and remained silent.

He wanted to say that the reason why Fang Jun steadfastly supported him, the prince who was once on the verge of being deposed, was not because he cared about the so-called rewards, otherwise, if he just followed the footsteps of his father, what rewards would he not get?
He and Fang Jun belong to the monarch and ministers respectively, but they share the same goals and have a friendship like a mountain. It is not just waiting for any rewards to weigh.

But he has been educated by the crown prince since he was a child, and he understands the principle of clear rewards and punishments. He cannot be the emperor without a title or reward just because Fang Jun doesn't need it.

But if it is really a reward, what should it be rewarded with?
Rewarding gold, silver and goods, Fang Jun has already been rich and has billions of dollars in his family; if he is promoted to a noble, Fang Jun is already a duke of the country, a prince and a young prince... The only one who can reward Fang Jun is Feng Wang Yitu, but how can this be possible?
The king of Jin can spread out the princes as if they don’t need money, and even promises to replace the meritorious ministers in the future with feudalism and hereditary. hidden danger, but Li Chengqian can't do that...

Empress Su's beautiful eyes were full, and seeing Li Chengqian's complexion changed, she smiled lightly and said: "The so-called rewards, in the final analysis, are just for one's own preferences. It's the latter...Of course, this person has high vision, and he doesn't like vulgar fans."

Li Chengqian took a bite of the food and found it hard to swallow.

That guy naturally doesn't like vulgar fans, what he likes is the princess...

Su continued: "Beautiful as jade, so what if His Majesty fulfills him? It's not you who forced them to make sacrifices for Li Tang Jiangshan. If the husband is affectionate and the concubine is interested, you have the right to ignore it and spoil Yue Yue." That’s it for the Duke.”

Compared with Jiangshan, what is the princess?
Since the Han Dynasty, there have been fewer royal princesses who have been married off to foreign barbarians?Now it's just to win over Fang Jun and do what he likes, allowing him to secretly communicate and indulge in personal affairs, which is much better than getting married and getting married.

Not to mention a few princesses, in order to win over powerful ministers and consolidate imperial power throughout the ages, even noble queens and empresses, there are countless people who commit themselves to powerful ministers... When it really comes to that point, she, the mother of a country, is absolutely unstoppable. hesitate.

Li Chengqian had a frowning face, knowing that what the queen said was reasonable, but he was still a little depressed in his heart, so he sighed and took a sip of his wine.

"As long as it doesn't make too much trouble, let him go."

……

On the other side, Princess Baling left Chengtian Gate and returned to the mansion in a carriage.

At this moment, it was the night of Kuang Ye, the night was as black as ink, without stars and moon, and the light rain never stopped, but the mansion was still brightly lit.The carriage entered the side door, Princess Baling entered the main hall with the help of the maid, and found that her husband and Chai Zhewei were waiting here...

Facing Chai Zhewei's anxious look, Princess Baling showed a smile and said softly: "Your Majesty is magnanimous, which is really a blessing for my subjects."

As soon as this remark came out, Chai Zhewei let out a long breath, his tense face instantly eased, he got up and straightened his clothes, and bowed to the ground in the direction of Tai Chi Palace: "Your Majesty is as generous and benevolent as a mountain, how can I not Swear allegiance to the death?"

After getting up, he said to Princess Baling with a smile: "Thanks to Your Highness running around here, there must be many villains who slandered and criticized my minister, and His Highness was hurt, and my minister was panicked."

From ancient times to the present, "Princess Shang" is not a good thing. If women are strong and men are weak, and the world is reversed, how can the family be harmonious?Especially since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the princesses have become more and more arrogant, not only arbitrarily meddling with the government, causing murder and family destruction, but also disobeying women's morals and supporting male pets, causing the husband's family to lose face.

But now it seems that being a son-in-law is indeed a difficult job, but as a family member of a son-in-law, it feels good not only to not have to face the princess's bossy orders, but also to enjoy the status and power of the princess...

Sitting together, Princess Baling was not greedy for merit, and said with a smile: "Just like what you said, the court today has a lot of criticisms for your defeat, and most of them advocate severe punishment, clean up discipline, and set an example. Xiaoyou... But the reason why your majesty is lenient is not because of the face of the palace, but because the Duke of Yue refuted the ministers in the court, thinking that the punishment of you, the Duke, should not be too harsh, so your majesty followed suit Like a stream."

The Chai brothers were a little dazed and looked at each other, not knowing why.

Chai Lingwu wondered: "The guy in Fang Er has no friendship with my elder brother, and even has a lot of filth. He is also drifting away from me, and can't urinate in the same pot. Why is he willing to speak for his elder brother?"

He and Du He used to be friends with Fang Jun, but since Fang Jun was seriously injured and fell into a coma, he seemed to be a completely different person after waking up. The superb calligraphy is world-renowned, and he is pursuing his official career to cater to the late emperor. Since then, he has soared into the sky, forcibly earned the title of "Duke of the State of Yue", and became the most powerful minister in the court.

To this day, he dare not think that there is still some remnants of the affection from that year, how can he be worthy of Fang Jun speaking for him in the court?
As for his own elder brother, Fang Jun served as the General of Youtunwei. During the period, the two of them were mean to each other and disliked each other.

Princess Baling took a sip of tea slowly, with a smile on her pretty face, a little reserved, and a crisp voice: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate yourself, after all, we are all a family, and the Duke of Yue is also the prince's son-in-law. It's much closer than others."

The queen's voice still rings in my ears, it must be because Fang Jun cares about his family, that's why he tried his best to excuse Chai Zhewei in the court.

In short, the reason why this time was so smooth is because of her status as a princess and Fang Jun's righteous actions...

However, her words caught the ears of the Chai brothers, but both brothers felt a "thump" in their hearts.

Thinking of Fang Jun's reputation as a "good princess"...

Chai Lingwu thought that his family's friendship with Fang Jun was already extremely weak, and his elder brother and Fang Jun had a long history of grudges. So what reason did Fang Jun have to help him excuse himself?Maybe it was a deliberate show of favor, for the sake of her own Princess Baling.

Chai Zhewei thought the same thing, glanced at Princess Baling who was sitting upright, and saw that although she had been married to her brother for many years, she was only in her twenties now. Women will be immature, but completely get rid of the youthful Mood for Love.

Even his uncle couldn't help but be heartbroken, let alone Fang Jun who has "eccentricities".

If you can match what you like, you will definitely gain a lot of money...

With a light cough, he looked at the smiling Princess Baling, thought for a while, and smiled slowly: "Fang Jun is indeed a stickler sometimes, acting recklessly and rebelliously, which is very troublesome. But it is not It is useless, at least care about family affection and loyalty, His Highness might as well visit his residence more in the future when he has time, after all, he and Princess Gao Yang are sisters, maintaining this family relationship is extremely beneficial to His Highness and to our Chai family."

Princess Baling's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she couldn't help but think of the rumors about Fang Jun, thinking that if she often went to his house, if that servant really thought about her, wouldn't it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? ?
But she didn't doubt Chai Zhewei's intentions. After all, as Li Chengqian secured the throne, Fang Jun's position became more stable and his power grew. Being able to maintain a good relationship with him is tantamount to getting closer to the power center of the empire, and he will definitely benefit a lot in the future .

Then he nodded his head slightly, his cheeks were reddish, his eyebrows were downcast: "Then follow your elder brother's words and walk around in the future."

Chai Lingwu opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

He is not completely different from politics. He understands that although his elder brother will not be severely punished this time, he will not escape the responsibility. From now on, the Chai family will be farther and farther away from the center. The government will completely fade out of the power core of the Tang Empire.

Now that there is such a channel as Fang Jun, there is absolutely no reason to give up.

But if his wife is allowed to visit Fang Jun's house from time to time, who knows what will happen in the end?
He is also a seven-foot man after meritorious deeds. Could it be that he just watched his wife fall into the clutches of the devil and let him play with her?
But if he objected at this time, not to mention that Princess Baling would not give him a good face, even his own brother would definitely criticize him. Anyway, it is not his daughter-in-law. Take advantage of...

motherfucker!

Chai Lingwu suddenly realized that it seemed that he had no reason or reason to stop it?

But this is my daughter-in-law...
