Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 963
The light snow was scattered and scattered, falling slowly in the courtyard. There was not much biting cold, but it added a bit of poetic charm.

Li Anyan sat at the head, Wen Ting, Helan Chushi, Du He and others were present impressively.

The maids in the hall bowed their heads and stood silently.

On the floor in the middle of the lobby, a high-quality Yue kiln vase was smashed to pieces, and the debris splashed everywhere...

Li An's face sank like water, and he waved his hands: "Clean up quickly."

The maids secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly swept away the fragments of the vase, knelt on the ground and wiped the floor with a handkerchief until it was as bright as a mirror, and then tiptoely bowed and bid farewell.

The son-in-law Wen Ting persuaded: "The matter has come to this point, it's useless to think too much, why bother to get so angry?"

Li Anyan snorted, and said angrily: "I am loyal to Your Highness, and always obey what you say. Even when His Royal Highness Wei Wang was in full swing, he never wavered in the past, and he was devoted to assisting you wholeheartedly. The result? What you get in return is a counterattack. It is too much to exchange our interests for his filial piety by treating us like fools!"

The son-in-law Wen Ting was taken aback, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "General Li, speak carefully!"

If you have resentment towards the king, if this word spreads, do you still want to mess around?It's not just you, don't think about anyone present today!
Li Anyan was startled, and realized that she had lost her composure, so she quickly shut up.

He was originally the official of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng. When the Xuanwu Gate incident happened, he was still young and vigorous, and he tried his best to protect Li Jiancheng from fighting to the death.At that time, he was taken into prison, which was a one-shot fate, but His Majesty Li Er believed that he was loyal and brave, so he was extra merciful and spared him from death.

Over the years, he worked hard like walking on thin ice, and finally became the official of Zuo Tunwei Zhonglang, in charge of the palace guard, and gained the trust of His Majesty Li Er.

Once the words just now reach the ears of His Majesty Li Er, others may be fine, but he may only have a dead end...

Helan Chushi was dejected, and sighed: "This matter has made...not to mention the ducks we got, we will even become the laughing stock of Chang'an."

Du He, who had never said a word, said lightly: "After this incident, I am afraid that we will maintain our relationship with His Highness. We treat each other with all our hearts, but we are so teased and humiliated. Who knows if we will be treated in times of crisis in the future Throw it out to cover your back?"

Hearing this, everyone was silent.

Among these people, when it comes to the relationship with His Royal Highness, Du He is naturally the leader.Now that even Du He has said such "rebellious" words, one can imagine how deep the resentment is in everyone's heart.

The huge sum of money in hand is already as uncomfortable as cutting flesh. You even have to be ridiculed that you were "forced" by His Royal Highness to give it to His Majesty. You can't even get personal favors. So much money might as well be thrown into the water listen to...

It has to be said that His Royal Highness did not behave properly in this matter.

After being silent for a while, Wen Ting suddenly said, "Do you think... is Fang Jun involved in this?"

Du He sneered: "What do you need to ask? The prince is benevolent and has no idea. He can't think of such vicious and treacherous methods. It must be Fang Jun who instigates the prince behind his back. It is the prince who wants to alienate us deliberately by this method." .”

It has to be said that Li Chengqian's reputation is so good that it exploded. Even if he suffers such a big loss, these people will take the initiative to dump the "pot" on Fang Jun. They all agree that Fang Jun instigated the prince to do this...

"Mother!"

Li Anyan patted the table angrily, and said angrily: "This little thief is really annoying, if one day falls into someone's hands, he must look good!"

These few people here don't like Fang Jun, but they don't agree with Li Anyan's words.

He Lan Chushi said in a strange voice, "Is it good for others? Hehe, that kid is Huating Marquis now, and the errand that he handed over just now is a third-rank position, and he also carries the official position of General Wei on his back. How could it fall into your hands?"

Li Anyan's face turned red, and she said angrily, "Helan Chushi, are you sincerely making trouble with someone?"

Helan Chushi sneered: "I'm too lazy to talk to you!"

Get up and leave.

He finally understood that Fang Jun's rise was already unstoppable, and now not only was Jane in the Emperor's heart in front of His Majesty, even the crown prince obeyed his words.My family and Fang Jun can also rely on the relationship after going around, why not go home and ask my sister-in-law to go to the house a few more times, and when I have the opportunity, I will say a few good words for myself.Once leaning on Fang Jun, wouldn't it be a hundred times better than following these selfish and dirty villains?
Thinking of his charming and gentle sister-in-law, Helan Chushi's heart felt hot again.

Damn!If I begged my sister-in-law to speak for me in front of Fang Jun, wouldn't that guy take the opportunity to eat me alive?

In the Shujing Hall of Taiji Palace, His Majesty Li Er was reading the memorial carefully in his hand. Princess Changle was kneeling beside the case, with her sleeves rolled up, revealing a part of her wrist that bullied Shuang Saixue. She was concentrating on studying ink for Her Majesty Li Er. , the beautiful and beautiful jade face is calm and peaceful, with a fresh and dusty temperament.

Wang De, the chief servant, stood on one side with his hands tied.

There is no wind today, the windows are pushed open, and the cool air makes people refreshed and think clearly.

A little bit of snow falls leisurely, and the lake outside the hall melts instantly, and a faint mist rises. The thousand-step corridor by the lake twists and turns around the vermilion lacquered jade railings, and the towering mountains in the distance are deep and remote, exquisite and beautiful, like a fairyland.

After a while, His Majesty Li Er put the memorial in his hand on the desk and asked Wang Dedao: "Have all the property of each family been put into the internal treasury?"

Wang Degong said: "Yes."

"About how much money?"

"They are all exotic goods from Nanyang. It is difficult to estimate the specific value, but it is probably not less than 200 million."

"Ah."

His Majesty Li Er hummed, then sighed, and said with emotion: "Fang Jun is... really amazing, it's hard for him to have such thoughts."

Princess Changle's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and she glanced at her father in surprise, then immediately lowered her head, concentrating on studying the ink, as if the expression just now was just dazzled by others...

His Majesty Li Er chuckled: "Is Li Zhi wondering, it is obviously money and goods donated by the prince and nobles of the family, why should he praise Fang Jun as a father instead?"

Princess Changle pursed her lips, and raised her beautiful eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Looking at the beautiful but increasingly degenerate eldest daughter, His Majesty Li Er was full of pity in his heart.Ever since she "reconciled" with Changsun Chong, Princess Changle has lived in the Taoist temple of Zhongnan Mountain, living a cold and lonely life with simple food and clothing, accompanied by ancient pine trees with green lights, as if her heart has turned into ashes, and she has nothing to do with her. smile.

How can His Majesty Li Er be willing?

Then he recalled his beloved daughter to the palace, and vacated the Shujing Hall in the corner of the palace for her to live in.The remote location here is beautiful and quiet, and it is most suitable for being alone with peace of mind, without leaving your sight and worrying about it.

He will also handle official business here from time to time, and stay with his beloved daughter.

His Majesty Li Er was very happy to see the expression of interest from his beloved daughter who was so cold and calm as if nothing was bothering him, so he said patiently: "Your prince brother, it's just that he doesn't have the courage, but he still likes it." He thinks he's smart. Recently, he has frequently been with the court ministers, especially those powerful families, and he has received a lot of flattery and flattery.

Princess Changle was startled, and quickly said: "Father, the prince's elder brother is not the kind of ambitious person, he must have been coaxed by someone, and he didn't realize that he was being used..."

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand with a smile: "Don't worry, is the father an imposing and stupid emperor? Those guys just want to use the crown prince to make troubles to fight against the father's determination to weaken the power of the family. How could the father not see it? Besides, although your prince brother is a bit indecisive, he is still not confused. It's just that, after all, he is a little passive. Since the prince wants to unite the nobles of the family, how can he take the initiative to What about offering the property to the emperor? You must know that in this way, the consequences will inevitably be to force the nobles of the family to donate all the property they get. Whoever does not donate will ignore the filial piety of the prince and the majesty of the emperor. You have to bear a reputation for being unfaithful and unfilial."

Princess Changle blinked, and a dazed expression appeared on her beautiful face: "Didn't the elder brother of the prince offend all these aristocratic nobles?"

When the meat in the mouth is forced to spit it out, who can not feel resentful?

And this move must be regarded by those aristocratic nobles as a move by the prince to sever ties with them...
