Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4305 Brotherhood
Li Chengqian would not stay in the Cen residence for a long time, it was a great honor for the Cen family to come and cry in person, and he left the gate of the Cen residence under the mighty escort of all the officials.

When the emperor drove out of the gate surrounded by guards, Fang Jun and Li Daozong also bid farewell to Cen's family.

It's just that before the two of them walked out of the gate, they saw a row of four-wheeled carriages driving into the Buzheng Square. There were guards at the front and back riding to protect each other. It was the princes who came to express their condolences.

Fang and Li quickly led their own soldiers to avoid the side of the road, dismounted and watched the carriage go to Cen's residence.

When the convoy came to the front, the curtain of the first carriage was lifted, revealing Li Tai's face that had been pampered and pampered for nearly a year and had regained his chubby face. tell you."

Then the curtain was lowered, and the carriage drove to Cen's residence.

When the convoy passed by, Li Daozong looked at Fang Jun and said, "Should I wait for you for a while? In case you are suspicious and not at ease."

Since Fang Jun deliberately asked him to come to express his condolences, it is obvious that he was not leading the army in the Forbidden Garden when he was guarding the Xuanwu Gate.

Fang Jun smiled and said, "Is the county king guilty of being a thief?"

Li Daozong squinted his eyes: "You can't talk nonsense. This king is a member of the royal family and has a detached position. How can you allow such foul language and insults? If you disturb the clan and tarnish the reputation of the clan, Zongzheng Temple will not bypass it." your."

Li Tai waved his hand: "I'm not a fool, so I don't need your nonsense?"

There has never been a so-called "heroes make the times", and history has its own inertia, which cannot be changed by manpower. The real saying should be "the times make heroes", and only by following the times can we last long.

Dingtian is to integrate a tributary into this mighty and flowing historical river, making the water volume more and more surging, so that it may make this big river obliterate the original riverbed...

In order to avoid suspicion and stay away from the government, he would not even step into the Taiji Palace easily, so he knew little about the affairs of the court, especially the response to the pheasant slaves' rebellion against the court. He was afraid that if he knew the details and these details If it leaks out again, it will become your own reminder.

The sudden collapse of a mountain in the civil service system like Cen Wenwen will inevitably lead to a reshuffle within the entire civil service system. If Liu Jie takes this opportunity to recruit Cen Wenwen's former party members and disciples, his strength will soon expand to a point that cannot be ignored, and become a real leader. The real civil servant No.1 completely broke the balance of the court.

Li Tai drank in a muffled voice.

Once involved in it, I'm afraid it will be smashed to pieces...

Li Chengqian took a bath after returning from the condolences of the Cen Mansion, now he changed into a set of ordinary clothes, and met Fang Jun in the imperial study.

Then he let out a long sigh: "Oh..."

Now he understood what Fang Jun meant.

Li Daozong snorted, without further words, got on his horse, and rode away surrounded by his own soldiers.

The two monarchs and ministers sat opposite each other. Li Chengqian repelled him after serving the fragrant tea. There was no one else nearby. Li Chengqian sighed: "Cen Wenwen suddenly died of illness, and there must be turmoil in the court. If it is normal, that's all. Stationed in Bailuyuan, watching covetously, can attack Chang'an at any time, internal and external difficulties, sideways problems ah."

Fang Jun watched Li Tai's carriage leave the imperial city in the direction of Yanximen, and then entered Chengtianmen under the leadership of the imperial guards, and went straight to Wude Hall to meet the emperor.

But for some reason, Fang Jun's words made him feel a little awkward... Maybe, he was thinking too much?

As a result, in just over a month, he gained more than [-] catties, and once again regained his former demeanor of His Royal Highness the King of Wei...

After pondering for a moment, looking at Li Chengqian's frowning expression, he said softly: "Your Majesty can't be passive, you should take the initiative."

After a while, he asked: "Is it possible to save the life of the pheasant slave?"

People's livelihood and well-being, cultural heritage, these are the really important things.

The chubby face was full of sadness.

"Get out!" Li Tai scolded with staring eyes, then his anger subsided, he sighed again, and asked, "You said... is the pheasant slave dead?"

Fang Jun drank his wine and said slowly: "Whether it's a pheasant slave, your highness, or even your majesty... What is the life and death of a person in the vast and torrent of history? The rise and fall of dynasties, the change of throne , are nothing more than a change at the top of the power structure, only the people of the Li people live and work in peace and contentment, that is the real big event."

Life is only a few decades, and compared with the long river of ancient history, it is not even a wave.

Li Chengqian asked curiously, "How to take the initiative to attack?"

Li Tai finished his glass of wine, filled it up, and drank it up again.

In the carriage, Li Taiduan sat behind a table with several snacks on it, picked up a small wine jug to pour wine into two wine glasses, took a glass himself, and motioned Fang Jun to drink, and then took a sip.

In this way, the danger of pheasant slaves will naturally increase greatly...

He looked at Fang Jun suspiciously. Fang Jun raised his eyebrows and poured wine from the pot.

What Li Chengqian or the imperial court wanted was not whether the pheasant slaves were dead or alive. What they really cared about was to use the pheasant slaves' mutiny to pull out all those who were not loyal to the emperor and the empire, and then uproot them.

Li Tai swallowed his wine, wiped his face, and said with a wry smile: "How can I not know the power of it? The battle for the throne has always been cruel, and father and son are against each other, and brothers are killing each other. But you have to know, when the mother died The pheasant slave is still babbling, he doesn't understand the horror of death, hugs the queen mother's body and yells at the queen mother to wake up, all the people present are heartbroken and weep, and the father loves the pheasant slave even more because of this... Now My parents are gone, and only my brother exists in this world. He has both the power of the world and the wealth of the country. He should love each other and never forget... Although the pheasant slave did something wrong, it is unforgivable, but As an elder brother, how can I just watch the pheasant slave die?"

Li Chengqian is indeed benevolent, but not all the civil servants and generals under him are as close to him as Fang Jun. Those guys are ruthless. Killing, it is impossible to prevent...

Fang Jun picked up the jug and poured wine into the glasses in front of the two, and said calmly, "I thought it was some serious matter."

This move is indeed dangerous, but once the success is too great, it will be done in one battle, and you can rest easy from now on...

Fang Jun bid farewell to Li Tai, opened the car door and jumped out, turned around and said, "Your Highness, think twice before acting."

……

He was the most uncomfortable person when the pheasant slaves raised an army, because he didn't want the pheasant slaves to succeed, which meant Li Chengqian would die, and he didn't want the pheasant slaves to fail, which would naturally mean the pheasant slaves were defeated and died.

From the day when he decided not to fight for the reserve, Li Tai let go of the obsessions in his heart for many years, and suddenly his whole body became clear. Things that he never cared about before are now cherished, such as the relationship between husband and wife, such as the education of Tang Dynasty. Career, like brotherhood...

Li Tai: "..."

Others don't know Fang Jun, but during these years, he and Fang Jun have never been acquainted to each other. He knows that Fang Jun is very powerful. Sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai shows that Fang Jun has full confidence in annihilating the rebels.

Fang Jun picked up the teacup and took a sip. He wasn't thirsty, but drinking tea while thinking had become a habit, as if this would make his brain turn faster...

Although it was Jin Wang Li Zhi who started the rebellion, the greatest threat to Li Chengqian's succession and the throne has always been considered to be His Royal Highness Wei Wang in front of him. Only then did they barely stay out of the power struggle at the highest level.

After a long time, the coachman whispered outside: "His Royal Highness, Duke Yue, the Chengtian Gate has arrived."

Li Tai stared and said, "Isn't the life and death of the pheasant slave a big deal?"

Fang Jun didn't care: "This minister is just talking casually, if he leaves here, he won't admit it even if he is killed."

Fang Jun was holding the pastry in his mouth, looked at Li Tai's face, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that your highness found out that the princess had an affair with others, so that's why you're so sad?"

Living in the middle, he is in a dilemma, which makes him suffer a lot. He can only drink and have fun every day to anesthetize himself.

Fang Jun thought for a while, took a sip from the wine glass, and then picked up a piece of pastry and chewed it in his mouth.

Fang Jun frowned, put down his wine glass and said, "Why is this so? King Jin raised his troops to cause chaos, and in the end no matter what the outcome was, he brought it on himself, and he must bear it. If you, as a prince, are involved in it, it is easy for some people to bite you. To know whether you can live a long life or not is unknown, it is better not to get involved in it lightly."

Since ancient times, it is a great blessing to have a friend who can entrust his wife and son. Li Tai believes that what Fang Jun said at this moment comes from the heart, and even if something happens to him in the future, his wife and children will be protected by Fang Jun.

The two drank wine in the carriage and did not speak. The sound of horseshoes trampling on the stone road outside the carriage came clearly, and the carriage shook slightly, which was very dull.

Fang Jun waited at the square gate for half an hour, Wei Wang Li Tai's driver returned first, and stopped in front of Fang Jun, the driver on the shaft jumped off the carriage and opened the door, asked Fang Jun to get on the car, closed the door and returned to the shaft , raised the whip in his hand, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

Even his Fang Jun was counted, and he worked so hard to support Li Chengqian in the top position, was it really just his personal efforts?

Fang Jun sighed and said: "That's all for now. If Your Highness wants to go his own way, there is nothing I can do. At most, if His Highness is given poisonous wine and white silk in the future, he will beg His Majesty to spare the lives of the princess and the prince. Presumably even His Majesty Kuan Hong, the concubine and the son will also be demoted to common people, but please rest assured, you and I will have a friendship, your wife and children, I will take care of them."

But this kind of thing cannot be prohibited. Everyone has the desire to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Now that Liu Ji is in the limelight, it is normal for those officials who have lost their reliance to join Liu Ji. It cannot be done without Liu Ji making mistakes. Relegated and demoted?

Fang Jun reminded: "Your Majesty might as well go out of the palace to put Shen Guogong in person..."

Li Chengqian was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Gao Shilian?"

That's an awesome man who holds his eldest grandson Wuji in one hand...
