Chapter 416 Volume 4 Changsun Wuji VS Fang Xuanling

Fang Xuanling shook his head: "Don't forget, your Majesty is in the prime of his life."

One sentence, concise and to the point.

Li Er is still in his prime, and what he needs is not a nearly perfect prince to steal the limelight from him.

A wise emperor and a perfect prince are definitely not the best combination.

Rights are really addictive. Once you become addicted, how many people are willing to give up?

Speaking of which, the position of prince is not so good. If you are too smart, you will be feared by others, and if you are not too smart, you will be disliked.

Many people think that after all, they are father and son, and they always have some feelings for each other.

But in the entire Tang Dynasty, including the Southern Tang Dynasty, there were more than thirty princes in total, but nearly half of them were either deposed or killed.

Therefore, the prince's profession is truly a high-risk profession.

"Your Highness is young and energetic, and I am worried that Your Highness does not know how to hide his clumsiness." Fang Xuanling sighed.

Sometimes, he didn't know whether Li Chengqian's growth was a good thing or a bad thing for Datang.

When Wei Zheng heard this, he smiled and said: "Okay, I know what you are worried about. Isn't it good to be like this now?"

Although Wei Zheng only spoke half of what he said, Fang Xuanling still understood what he meant and just smiled bitterly without saying anything more.

As for Xiao Yu, he would never talk about something he couldn't understand easily.

…

The Duke's Mansion of Qi.

When Changsun Wuji came back, he locked himself in the study.

Although he could see things clearly, he still couldn't understand some issues. Logically speaking, he had already warned Changsun Chong, but why did this happen again? He pondered over this issue all the way.

According to the current situation, Li Chengqian's position as crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai.

In other words, if nothing happens, Li Chengqian will own the country of the Tang Dynasty two hundred years later.

No matter where you look at it, Li Chengqian has no reason to condone Li Yuanjing.

Like Li Er, he couldn't figure out what strategic buffer zone Li Chengqian wanted.

It's not that he can't understand that Li Chengqian is guarding against Li Er.

He really understands this.

Even though he is Li Er's brother-in-law, he still understands the principle of accompanying a king like a tiger.

What he can't understand is that Li Chengqian doesn't know how difficult it will be for a country within a country like Li Yuanjing to appear if he ascends the throne in the future?

If you are only on guard against your father, why don't you be on guard against your uncle?

It would be difficult for Li Yuanjing to make the Great Zhao Wangting a fait accompli and reverse it.

Even though he was always on Li Er's side, if Li Er died, he would certainly hope that Li Chengqian would be the one to take the throne.

It's not that he has a close relationship with Li Chengqian, but that Li Chengqian's mother is his biological sister, that's all.

Of course, he only has more choices. After all, Empress Changsun does not only have a son like Li Chengqian.

This is why he made two preparations.

But what Li Chengqian did today really surprised him.

"My lord." Just when Changsun Wuji was thinking about it and couldn't figure it out, the servant knocked on the door and said, "Fang Fushe and Mr. Chu and his son are asking for an audience."

In the study room, Changsun Wuji was also stunned when he heard this.

He could understand Fang Xuanling's visit, Bachelor Chu? Chu Liang?

What are they doing here?

But after thinking for a moment, Changsun Wuji smiled and understood.

"Please treat her well in the front hall, I'll go right away."

Regardless of the reason for visiting, Fang Xuanling still has to give her face.

Speaking of which, his relationship with Fang Xuanling used to be quite good.

It's just that in recent years, Fang Xuanling has been suppressing him, and he has always regarded Fang Xuanling as the target to catch up.

After all, power is not only an unparalleled attraction for emperors, but also for people like them.

"The distinguished guest is here, and I am sorry to welcome you from afar." Changsun Wuji said with a smile on his face before walking into the front hall.

"I have met the Duke of Qi." Chu Liang and his son hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted.

Fang Xuanling also stood up and said with a smile: "I was just passing by and ran into Brother Chu and his son. I happened to ask for advice on something, so I shamelessly pulled him over."

In fact, he went straight to Changsun Wuji's mansion not long after he separated from Wei Zheng and others.

As for Chu Liang and his son, it was really a chance encounter. He just happened to ask for advice on something, so they pulled him over together.

"Here we go, prepare a table of good food and wine." Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Come, please take a seat."

"Then I'm going to bother my auxiliary machine brother today." Fang Xuanling laughed and said haha.

Changsun Wuji was innocent in his heart, and he immediately smiled and said: "Dignified guests come to the door, and the flowers are shining brightly. There is no need to disturb them. I just don't know how many of them are here today. Do they have important matters?"

Although he has a clear conscience, it is impossible for you to expect him to take the initiative to speak.

Chu Liang and his son were really embarrassed, they knew nothing.

They were really dragged here by Fang Xuanling halfway.

Chu Liang and Fang Xuanling were old acquaintances. They were both one of the eighteen bachelors, Fang Xuanling was still a servant of the court, and Chu Liang really couldn't refuse.

Of course, just talking about Chu Liang may be unfamiliar to many people, but when it comes to his son, he is also famous. His son was later Changsun Wuji's political ally, Chu Suiliang, and one of the four great masters of the early Tang Dynasty who was as famous as Yu Shinan.

"It's nothing important. This is not Tuyuhun's fault. I came here to ask Brother Auxiliary Machine for advice." Fang Xuanling said, then looked at Chu Liang and his son, and said, "By the way, Brother Ximing once seemed to do something like this." Passing through Sihu, Xihai County, right?"

Xihai County is the area around Fuqi City in Tuyuhun today.

When Chu Liang was an official in the former Sui Dynasty, because he was the bachelor of the East Palace of Prince Yang Yong at the beginning, but later Yang Yong was pulled down by Yang Guang, although Chu Liang was not affected too much, after all, he relied on his sincerity to become an official. Talent and practical learning.

But this guy seemed to be really unlucky. Yang Xuangan, who was close to him, rebelled not long after. In addition, he was too upright and often contradicted Yang Guang, who had already ascended the throne at that time.

Therefore, Yang Guang directly kicked him to the then Xihai County.

At that time, Murong Fuyun had not yet returned to the country, and Xihai County was still under the jurisdiction of the former Sui Dynasty.

"Yes, Xiaguan did serve as a household secretary in Xihai County." Chu Liang gradually understood.

Changsun Wuji just listened, and he had already understood what Fang Xuanling meant.

"Does Brother Ximing still have an impression of Tuyuhun?" Fang Xuanling asked directly without hiding it.

With Changsun Wuji present, he asked these questions without any taboos.

If it were in private, he would really not dare to ask this.

"I wonder what the housekeeper is asking about?"

"People." Fang Xuanling continued to ask.

Hearing him ask this, Changsun Wuji also became energetic.

Li Chengqian was very good at using ordinary people to make articles. When Fang Xuanling asked this question, his intention should not be too obvious.

When this topic came up, Chu Liang did not rush to answer, but looked back at Chu Suiliang: "Dengshan, do you still have any impressions?"

"I have some impressions." Chu Suiliang had just guessed Fang Xuanling's intention. He had already made a plan in his mind and said, "Although most of the people in Tuyuhun ran away with Murong Fuyun at that time, they also

There are still many people left.

What impressed me most at that time was the people's easy-going attitude. They seemed to have no objection to who ruled them, as long as they could have a place to live.

As for whether he has any resentment towards Murong Fuyun, I didn’t notice it at all.”

"This is normal." After hearing his reminder, Chu Liang also thought about it and said, "When Murong Fuyun ran away, he didn't take those people with him, which means that they were either abandoned or abandoned.

Isn’t it because it’s hard to leave my homeland?”

Fang Xuanling nodded after hearing this, looked at Changsun Wuji, and then asked: "I remember Brother Ximing is still under Xue Ju's tent..."

Taking this opportunity, Fang Xuanling asked Chu Liang and his son to learn a lot about the situation in Tuyuhun.

There is no way, Chu Liang and his son are really a suitable candidate.

But in the Ministry of Industry, Duan Lun looked happy.

Whether it was Li Jing's victory or Tuyuhun's invasion, it had nothing to do with him.

He is now focused on doing his job for the Ministry of Works.

Judging from Li Er's generous rewards to Yang Wancai and Tao Mingyu, Li Er attaches great importance to technological innovation.
