Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 621 Sisters
Facing this old miser, Fang Jun was extremely speechless.

This Sinong Temple doesn't belong to your family, how can you be so stingy to the point of disregarding face?What other people's "miser" guards is their own money, but it's good for you to guard the money for His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er should send you a "Best Employee Lifetime Achievement Award"...

Fang Jun complained in his heart, couldn't help rolling his eyes, and asked: "I heard that the young minister of Sinong Temple has collected hundreds of thousands of family wealth by relying on Sinong Temple. Now you keep saying that Sinong Temple is a poor yamen, is it true?" Doesn't it mean that there is no silver 300 taels here?"

Hearing this, Dou Jing's face darkened immediately...

Zhao Yuankai, the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple, is best at exploiting corruption, embezzling public funds, and taking advantage of power to plunder people's wealth.

Dou Jing despised this colleague very much, and once said loudly to the officials under him: "Emperor Sui Yang was arrogant, extravagant, and greedy for people's wealth. At that time, there must be moths like you in Si Nong Temple. Now the emperor himself is thrifty and loves the people. , what is the use of you!"

Everyone in Chang'an knows these words, and everyone in the world praises Dou Jing for being honest.

After several times of impeachment by the censor, His Majesty Li Er demoted the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple to serve as the governor of Kuizhou.

Dou Jing was extremely displeased, looked at Fang Jun angrily, and said angrily: "Your Majesty loves you for being an old man. How can you not repay him if you are a waste of public funds and don't know how to be thrifty? How can I face Your Majesty?"

Fang Jun smiled slightly, and praised: "Senior is truly loyal to the country, and can be called a role model for my generation!"

Integrity is really incorruptibility, but this Lord Sinongqing, like the civil servants of this era, does not get much admiration from Fang Jun.

In Fang Jun's view, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. It is purely wishful thinking and absolutely impossible for all officials in the world to be honest and upright.Compared with corrupt officials, Fang Jun hates those people who, although they have a clean sleeve, are actually dead and vegetarian...

It doesn't matter if you are greedy for money, inaction is the most hateful thing!
This is not inaction, how did he do it?
In the third year of Zhenguan, Li Jing led the army to defeat the military strength of the Turks. His Majesty Li Er planned to move the Turkic herdsmen to live in the south of the Yellow River. Dou Jing, then the governor of Xiazhou, objected.How did he say it?
"The ministers who have heard of the barbarians, like the husband and the beasts, will fight to devour them if they are poor, and gather deer when they are flocks. They cannot be punished by the law, and they cannot be taught by benevolence and righteousness. . . . Pretending to be a virtuous king, the wife is the daughter of the clan, and the land is divided, and the tribe is analyzed, so that the power is divided into the weak and the weak, and it is easy to be restrained, and the frontier can be kept forever, and the vassal is replaced. "

The Turkic people live by animal husbandry and don’t know how to farm. The court has to provide them with food and clothing; moreover, they will not forget the shame of being defeated, and they may rebel. It is better to appoint another leader, add the title of king, and marry him with a daughter of the Tang clan. Forge friendly relations with them forever, make them a vassal of the Tang court, and the border can be peaceful...

Look, this is the main force of the "Harmony Faction"!

In fact, Fang Jun didn't think much of this person's ability, but he was very assured of his conduct, so he came to him and gave him a great benefit.

*****
Shiwei is March, and the spring breeze is warm.

The sycamore trees outside Xiuge sprouted buds, and light green colors appeared on the bare trunks.Grass sprouts have sprouted from the red palace walls, and a shallow layer has added vitality to this solemn and solemn palace...

Princess Gao Yang pushed open the window and looked at the spring-filled palace through the window, her star-like bright eyes were a little confused.

Her hair was in a bun like black clouds, and she was dressed in a purple palace dress, tightly wrapping her exquisite and slim figure, which further made her slender neck as white as jade.

Princess Changle put on the plain Taoist gown of the past, which is as elegant and elegant as water.

Standing beside her younger sister, she stretched out her slender hands to gather up a strand of hair from her temples, and said with a slight smile, "What's on my sister's mind these days? The appearance of being worried and out of mind all day makes people a little worried."

"Alas..." Princess Gaoyang withdrew her gaze, turned around and held her sister's slender hand, feeling the warmth and softness, frowned slightly, her big eyes looked pitifully at Princess Changle's beautiful face like a lost deer, biting Biting his lip, he said, "Miss Huang, I'm afraid..."

Princess Changle was slightly stunned, and wondered: "What are you afraid of?"

Princess Gao Yang hesitated for a moment, and said shyly, "I'm afraid of getting married."

"Why is this? Didn't you always want to marry Fang Jun? Why do you say such things when you see good times coming?" Princess Changle became more and more puzzled.She knew very well that this younger sister seemed delicate, but her temper was quite hot and forthright. From childhood to adulthood, she was rarely so confused and overwhelmed.

Princess Gao Yang's delicate face was twitched, and she said coquettishly, "I'm just afraid..."

Princess Changle caressed her forehead...

This younger sister is about to get married, why is she still so cute?

Then she softly comforted her and said, "It's just getting married, so what's there to be afraid of? Every woman has to go through this. Besides, Sina is the one my younger sister likes, and I don't know how much happier than those women who marry blindly."

The social atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty was open, and it was not uncommon for unmarried men and women to meet by chance. However, "the order of parents and the words of matchmaker" is a rule handed down from ancient times. I don't know how many young men and women have never met before they got married.

Princess Gao Yang was still uneasy, when she thought about leaving the palace, living in another man's house, taking care of his parents, becoming another identity from now on... her heart became extremely depressed.

Holding her sister's hand, she leaned on her body, sniffing her sister's body fragrance, Princess Gao Yang asked in a low voice: "Sister Huang, when you married your eldest grandson Chong, were you worried at all?"

As soon as the words came out, Princess Gaoyang was startled, covered her mouth with her hand, looked at Princess Changle apologetically, and cursed herself for being stupid, why did she mention this matter again?

Sure enough, when Princess Changle heard the words, the blood on her pretty face faded in an instant, making her look extraordinarily pale.

Princess Gao Yang panicked and said: "Sister Huang, I'm sorry, I..."

"What are you sorry for?" Princess Changle smiled sadly, and her beautiful face showed a slightly poignant smile. She stretched out her arms and gently wrapped her arms around Princess Gaoyang's thin shoulders, and said softly: "This is fate, sister also Look away. God let me be reborn in the emperor's family, enjoy rich clothes and fine food, have a loving mother, a respectful father, a kind brother, and a caring sister... Even if the marriage is a little bit unsatisfactory, what's the matter? What's the big deal? In life, everything can't go according to your wishes, if everything is perfect, then you will suffer the jealousy of God..."

Princess Gaoyang was full of apologies, but she didn't relax because of Princess Changle's free and easy performance.

This elder sister has always been like this, always virtuous and dignified, always knowledgeable and reasonable, always understanding... Her words and deeds are always based on her mother, and she imitates her mother's way in everything, showing a warm smile In front of people, but secretly swallow bitterness and bitterness...

Stretching out her hand, gently wrapping her soft waist, feeling the pain and suffering her sister's frail and delicate body endured, Princess Gao Yang felt pity in her heart.

"Sister Huang, take off this disgusting and ugly Taoist robe, wouldn't it be better to ask Father to choose another husband-in-law for you?" Princess Gao Yang persuaded.

Princess Changle smiled lightly, the corners of her rosy lips raised slightly, but there was no smile at all, only a coldness and loneliness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Her clear eyes moved out of the window, and her voice was as soft as water: "Why bother? My sister has already seen through this world of mortals and men. Men in this world are actually the same, always so hypocritical, cold, and self-righteous ..."

Princess Gao Yang's heart skipped a beat, feeling her sister's misery and despair, she subconsciously hugged her even tighter.

She retorted: "Sister Huang's remarks are a bit biased, right? At least Fang Jun is not like what you said. Although that guy looks a little darker, but if you look carefully, he is actually not bad."

Speaking of this, Princess Gao Yang paused, her pretty face was a little red, a little shy, how had she ever praised a man?Even though this man is about to become her husband... But in order to dispel the cold despair in Princess Changle's heart, she felt that Fang Jun had to be a role model.

So, after a little bit of shyness, she went on to say: "Although Fang Jun is a mallet, he is really bloody! He can stuff me into a kang cave, lure the rebels away alone, and he can also house a horse alone." saved my life from the rebels..."

Men are not all hypocritical and cold, are they?

At least there is another Fang Jun who is so hot-blooded and masculine, and treats people with sincerity...

Princess Changle pinched her younger sister's cheeks, and teased, "Yes, he even wrote poems for you, but suddenly looking back, the man was there, in a dimly lit place... Hehe, it's really a good poem that can be passed down through the ages, so touching ! So, my sister's heart is completely lost?"

Princess Gao Yang was canceled by her sister, she was embarrassed immediately.

The girl couldn't help being ashamed, and immediately counterattacked: "He also wrote articles for my sister..."

Princess Changle's smile froze, and her pretty face, which was as white as jade, turned rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I love the lotus, which comes out of the mud but not stained, clean and clear but not demonic, straight in the middle and straight outside, not vines or branches, fragrant far away and clear, graceful and clean..." Princess Gaoyang raised the corners of her mouth, Reciting triumphantly, looking at her sister's pretty red face, something suddenly sounded, staring at Princess Changle with sparkling eyes, and said mysteriously: "Sister Huang, do you think that black-faced god has taken a fancy to you? "

Princess Changle finally couldn't hold back any longer, feeling ashamed and angry, she stretched out her fingers and pinched the soft flesh on Princess Gaoyang's waist, and said angrily, "I'm calling you nonsense..."

Princess Gao Yang twisted her body and screamed in pain, but she still laughed loudly and said: "Oh, is it possible that Miss Huang is guilty? Oh——Forgive me, please forgive my life, little sister doesn't dare anymore, can I stop talking..."

Princess Changle scolded coquettishly: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart..."

"Oh...don't dare, Miss Huang spared me... cluck cluck..."

In the imperial palace in spring, laughter like silver bells filled the embroidery pavilion, rippling in the courtyard with the spring breeze, dispelling the chill of the whole winter...
