Tiantang Splendid

4455 - Queen Su
Husband and wife are one body, and each other's hearts are connected. Seeing Fang Jun's slightly absent-minded expression, Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang knew what was in their hearts. Naturally, it was a matter of great pride, Princess Gaoyang was slightly ashamed, raised her jade hand and patted Fang Jun's body lightly, and said angrily: "This is Wude Palace, don't mess around."

Fang Jun took a sip of warm water, suppressed his semen, looked around, and asked, "How long have I been sleeping, and when?"

From the time of King Jin's mutiny to today, although we have formulated a strategy with His Majesty, there are many dangers during the process, and there are many risks of failure. Wang Bing was defeated and captured, Yu Chigong killed himself, suddenly relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

Wu Meiniang said softly: "It's already [-]:[-] o'clock, and your husband has been asleep for several hours."

Fang Jun got up: "Where is Your Majesty now?"

There were many ministers present before, and there were many things that could not be said. Now I must meet with His Majesty to make a decision on the next step of the court.

Princess Gao Yang put down the teacup, got up and straightened Fang Jun's collar and hair, and said, "Your Majesty is in the sleeping hall, and he probably needs to sleep for a while, Mr. Lang may as well go to the side hall to take a bath and change clothes, and then see His Majesty again."

After several days of fighting, Fang Jun's body was mixed with rain, blood, and sweat. He described it as a bit embarrassing and smelled very strong.

Fang Jun shook his head and stretched his waist: "If you still want to report to His Majesty, there is no delay. I will go to the bedroom to see you first. Get ready and send someone back to the mansion to clean up. We will return to the mansion tonight."

"Then we'll wait for your lord."

The two women nodded together with joy on their faces.

Living in the palace is inconvenient, and the gold and silver nests are not as good as my own kennel. I am really not used to being away from home for many days...

……

The rain was much less, and the patter was unstoppable. The palace lanterns outside the bedroom gave off an orange-red halo, and the water-drenched blue bricks on the ground cast bright reflections. Fang Jun came to the door of the bedroom and begged to see him.

The servant at the door didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurried inside to report, and turned around shortly afterwards, saying respectfully: "Your Majesty is taking a nap, and the empress invites the Duke of Yue to come in and wait for a while."

Fang Jun hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That's fine."

Then he went in with the servants and came to the study on the side of the sleeping hall.

The study room here is simple in layout, with a large bookshelf on the wall, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk are neat and tidy, but there is no written statement. It is obvious that Li Chengqian does not deal with government affairs here, and it is probably used for reading before going to bed.

Fang Jun took his seat, and the waiter said: "My servant is going to make tea for Duke Yue."

Fang Jun nodded, the servant bowed and left, leaving Fang Jun alone in the study.

After a while, Fang Jun looked back and saw Queen Su, who was dressed in a moon-white silk uniform, carrying a jade plate and stepping slowly into the room. A palm-width belt around her waist was tightly stretched and hung down. The two silk ribbons tied with two jade pendants collided with each other while walking, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Fang Jun got up hurriedly, bowed to greet him: "My minister has seen the queen."

Su's footsteps were light, with a happy smile on her fair and pretty face, as she walked in front of Fang Jun, leaving behind a scent like orchids and musk...

Putting the jade plate on the table next to Fang Jun, Su took out the teapot, teacups, and two plates of pastries from the plate and placed them on the table, and sat on the chair on the other side of the table, with a smile on his face and a soft voice: "Your Majesty is taking a nap. I'm really exhausted and exhausted these days, so I haven't woken up yet. I ask Erlang to wait for a while."

Fang Jun hurriedly said: "It's my humble minister who is being reckless."

Several candles were burning on the candlestick, and the candlelight illuminated the study very brightly. Under the halo of the candlelight, Su Shi's fair and pretty face seemed to glow slightly, and her slightly plump body was tightly wrapped under the moon-white silk palace dress. , the refraction of light makes every mountain, ups and downs, ravines and valleys very clear, is it more than a "delicate embossment" that can be described?
Coupled with the lingering lingering aroma from the nose, the atmosphere is a little ambiguous...

Mrs. Su raised her jade hand to gather a strand of hair that fell from her temples, and put it behind her crystal-like jade ears, she poured tea herself with a smile, and then pushed the teacup in front of Fang Jun, her cheeks were slightly rosy: "Erlang, drink tea, why not eat some pastries to fill your belly."

Fang Jun was sitting upright, a little panicked: "How dare you bother the queen? The humble minister is overstepping!"

"What are you talking about? Regardless of the previous Guanlong mutiny or the rebellion of the King of Jin this time, Erlang, your feats are all vividly remembered, and everyone in the world sees and respects them. Your Majesty and this palace are not the same People, no matter how close I am to you, I can't be too kind, and you deserve any courtesy."

Su's beautiful eyes reflected the candlelight, the light was shining, and her pretty face was full of sincerity.

Fang Jun was a little upset. Although he and Su Shi had always had a good relationship, they had never been in the same room as they are now. Su Shi looked close and kind, and instead of addressing official positions and titles, he kept saying "Erlang" ", it really made him a little scared.

Could it be that the marital disharmony between His Majesty and the Queen caused the Queen to be dissatisfied with her desires?
Fang Jun drank tea, ate cakes, and chatted with the queen, feeling like sitting on pins and needles...

It has to be said that Empress Su was born in a scholarly family, with a virtuous character and a dignified appearance, and her slightly plump body is full of plump juices, charming and mature at an age that can most arouse a man's conquest... But Fang Jun Ask yourself that he is definitely not a hungry ghost, and Li Chengqian loves and trusts him so much that he can't live up to the feelings of a monarch and his ministers. I am tired of living and dare to touch Su Shi's finger?

Just as I was in a state of confusion, I suddenly heard someone speaking outside the study: "Erlang came to the palace to see you, why didn't you wake me up?"

Obviously he was reprimanding the servants outside the door, and then he saw Li Chengqian walking into the study wearing a regular uniform.

Both Su Shi and Fang Jun stood up to salute, Li Chengqian waved his hand with a smile, went to sit down at the main seat, motioned for the two to take their seats, and said with a smile: "Those servants don't know how to do things, if the queen didn't entertain them personally, I'm afraid they will be neglected Erlang."

Mrs. Su stepped forward to pour tea for Li Chengqian, bent slightly, and from Fang Jun's perspective, she happened to see a slender waist, plump and straight...

"In terms of relatives, Erlang is my brother-in-law, and in terms of merit, Erlang is the minister of His Majesty's humerus. Since he is not an ordinary foreign minister, the concubines have always been close to Erlang, so I came out to chat for a few words. Your Majesty, don't blame the ministers and concubines for usurping. .”

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is almost the standard configuration of every Mingjun, so the Su family must explain.

Li Chengqian took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "When I met Erlang in times of crisis, although we belonged to each other as monarchs and ministers, we were inseparable. The queen can treat Erlang as her own family without avoiding suspicion. I am very pleased."

Su Shi straightened her waist and said softly: "Then the ministers and concubines will not disturb your monarchs and ministers to discuss military and state affairs, and retreat first."

After Li Chengqian nodded, he turned around, a smile appeared on his beautiful cheeks, his eyes met Fang Jun's eyes, and he retracted after a moment, swaying his lotus steps, and walked away gracefully.

……

"Your Majesty, the palace is still not stable at present, and many servants and maids have unclear positions. You must be cautious in daily life, and you can't be too careful. In addition, you should also pay more attention to King Wei and the other princes, and beware of ulterior motives. The older generation stirs up trouble in the dark."

Fang Jun got straight to the point and expressed his biggest worry.

Li Chengqian's political talent is not outstanding among Taizong's disciples, but it is definitely not bad. He immediately understood the meaning of Fang Jun's words, thought for a while, and said seriously: "Erlang, don't worry, I will definitely be more careful."

Seeing Li Chengqian's seriousness, Fang Jun heaved a sigh of relief.

After finally surviving the two mutinies of Guanlong and the King of Jin and winning the victory, there will be a peaceful year in front of him. If Li Chengqian is assassinated at this time, the good situation will be wiped out, which is enough to become the laughing stock of the ages...

Li Chengqian took a sip of tea and asked, "What's Erlang's opinion on the punishment of the powerful family?"

Fang Jun shook his head: "Your Majesty is assisted by Duke Ying, Xu Jingzong, and Ma Zhou in this matter, and it is inconvenient for me to participate in this matter."

"Well, that's fine. Although government affairs are important, they are far inferior to military power. You will firmly control the military power around Chang'an for me, and you must ensure the stability of Guanzhong. As long as there is no chaos in Guanzhong, even if those powerful families are rampant, there will be no chaos. This is the Tang Dynasty."

The two consecutive mutinies of Guanlong and the King of Jin really scared Li Chengqian out of his courage, and he also realized the importance of military power like never before. As long as the military power is in hand, it doesn't matter whether the officials in the court are loyal or traitor. That is, but once the military power is not in the hands, it will be a catastrophe of overthrow and extinction at every turn.

But Fang Jun is the only person in the world that Li Chengqian can absolutely trust, and this military power can only be placed in Fang Jun's hands, so that he, the emperor, can sleep peacefully at night...

Fang Jun poured tea for Li Chengqian, and said gently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will immediately start to abolish the left and right guards and the left and right Marquis guards, and form the left and right Jinwu guards to guard Guanzhong and Suwei Chang'an. For the suppression of aristocratic families, your majesty will only do it boldly. It is not a cause for concern for the petty ones to go against the trend."

Li Chengqian hesitated when he heard the words, paused, and then said hesitantly: "Is the strategy we agreed on before... too extreme? Land is the foundation of aristocratic families, and whoever dares to touch their foundation, they will fight desperately... ..."

Fang Jun looked at Li Chengqian who was hesitant, and said decisively: "The existence of the aristocratic family is a huge hidden danger to the inheritance of the empire, and it must be cut off! Your Majesty, just rest assured, whoever dares to move, the humble minister will dare to kill them. Blood flowed like a river! Xu Jingzong can be responsible for this matter, gather all the former academy students, and let the "Baiqisi" send elites to accompany them to all parts of the world to measure the land of all states and counties in the world. If there is any concealment or obstruction Measure it, and you should be sentenced to death!"
