Fang Jun cupped his hands at Ma Zhou and said, "Brother Ma, please invite me first. Later, I will go to meet my brother and have a few drinks, and we will talk about the details later."
Ma Zhou nodded and said in return, "Brother Fool, please take your leave first."
He nodded to Wang De again, then turned around and walked quickly towards the palace gate.
"Fang Prince Consort, let's go to see His Majesty right now." Wang De bowed and gave way, palms raised, asking Fang Jun to go first.
Fang Jun raised his feet and walked in the direction of Shenlong Palace. When he saw Wang De slightly behind him, he followed him. When the chamberlain came up to hold an umbrella for him, he casually asked: "His Royal Highness Hengshan's wedding is coming soon. Who is in the palace?"
How are the preparations going?"
Wang De followed suit and replied respectfully: "Of course, the preparations are in full swing, but generally everything is ready. Only some minor details need to be discussed separately between the palace and the Wei Mansion, and the wedding etiquette needs to be carefully trained. However, the palace
It's easy to say that in recent years, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been getting married one after another, and she is very familiar with etiquette, but the Wei family has organized weddings for many years, especially when the Princess gets married, there are countless etiquette involved, and she still needs to learn a lot."
Although the matter of "Princess Shang" is an unparalleled honor, it involves the majesty of the imperial authority, and there are too many etiquettes to count. Fortunately, etiquette has become more simplified and changed since the Warring States and Spring and Autumn Period. If we fully respect the "Li" of Zhou
If the etiquette described above were followed meticulously, it would be a disaster.
Fang Jun nodded and said: "His Royal Highness Gao Yang and His Highness Hengshan have a very close relationship. This time His Highness Hengshan married into the Wei family, he also prepared several small gifts. He asked the house steward to send the ceremonial accounts to Mr. Wang so that he could buy more.
It’s in the details of His Highness’s dowry.”
Wang De hurriedly said: "The relationship is good. Your Highness is getting married. This dowry is always the wish of my mother's family. If it can be more generous, Your Highness will look good."
He knew that although Fang Jun's words sounded light, but according to Fang Jun's temperament and family background, this "dowry gift" was definitely a huge sum of money.
I even couldn't help but wonder, if Princess Jinyang, who is closest to Fang Jun, gets married in the future, how much dowry will Fang Shaobao give her?
I'm afraid it's not worth three to two hundred thousand guan, and the boxes and cages containing the dowry are lined up far away.
I don’t know whose husband will be so lucky in the future. Not only will he marry your majesty, the prince’s sweetheart, but he will also get a piece of wealth for free...
The light rain is pouring, and the fine rain washes the palace walls and tiles until they are spotless, the green willows and poplars are dark green, and the flowers and trees that can be seen at the corner of the road are all flourishing, blooming with the last vitality before the early autumn, turning the original
The solemn and solemn palace is rendered more poetic and picturesque.
After turning around several palaces and passing through several gates, the group arrived in front of the Shenlong Palace. Fang Jun stood in front of the door with his hands tied. Wang De first went inside to report, then turned around and said that His Majesty ordered Fang Jun to come inside to have an audience.
Fang Jun walked in, took off his shoes and put them on the shoe rack next to the door. However, he entered the hall barefoot, stepped on the smooth floor, walked quickly to the bookcase, bowed and saluted: "Weichen Room"
Jun, come to see Your Majesty."
His Majesty Li Er was picking up his pen to review a memorial. When he heard the words, he said a faint "hmm" without raising his head. He just said casually: "You can go aside for a while. After I have reviewed these memorials from Lingnan, I will continue."
Talk to you."
"Here!"
Fang Jun responded, pushed himself to a chair by the window and sat down, and a waiter served him tea.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Your Majesty Li Er put down his pen, stood up and rubbed his wrists, walked out from behind the desk, came to the chair and sat down, then frowned and looked Fang Jun up and down, and said displeasedly: "How did you do this?
So embarrassed?"
After the next court, Fang Jun had a conflict with Changsun Wuji, and Wang De had not had time to report this to him...
How could Fang Jun dare to say that he almost got into a fight with Changsun Wuji and got soaked in the rain? He said vaguely: "I accidentally fell when I left the palace. I have lost my decency before you. Please forgive me."
"
The ministers were disheveled when they came to the audience. If you look closely, it is really a crime...
Naturally, His Majesty Li Er would not get involved in such a trivial matter. He frowned and ordered Wang De, who was standing on one side, and said: "Take Fang Shaobao to the side hall to change into a pair of clean clothes and then come back... Just give him my clothes."
Find something to change into. After all, he is also a minister of the imperial court. He is like a drowned rat. How can he be decent?"
Wang De was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "I obey the order!"
He turned around and said to Fang Jun: "Fang's consort, please come with me."
Fang Jun bowed to His Majesty Li Er and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will come as soon as you go." Then he followed Wang De to the side hall.
Fang Junshang came to the side hall for the first time. He looked around and saw that the furnishings were not luxurious. There were water tanks, basins and other items. It was obviously the place where His Majesty Li Er washed his hands.
Wang De ordered people to bring some water, and helped Fang Jun take off his soaked clothes. He briefly scrubbed himself, then rummaged through the wardrobe on one side to find a moon-white coat and a cyan gown.
Holding it in both hands, he came to Fang Jun and said with a smile: "This middle coat is brand new. Your Majesty has not worn it yet. This shirt was worn by Your Majesty in the past two years. I should have found a new one for Fang Jun, but...
According to Your Majesty’s wishes, I want to give you a piece of clothing that you have worn, which is a supreme honor.”
Fang Jun's eyelids twitched and he hurriedly said: "Very good, very good."
What a fart “reward”!
This is simply feudal dross. Even if you are the supreme king of the world and the king of men, who knows if you have any infectious diseases? Giving the things you have worn to others is a supreme honor, and they must be grateful.
Tears are streaming down my face... I'll take it off anyway. We don't dislike you. We're afraid that you might have an infectious disease. Why don't you say it's a supreme honor? Then let's build a room to offer these clothes and wear them during New Years and holidays.
Offering incense to show respect...
Could this be His Majesty Li Er's reward for standing up and setting himself on fire?
Mom, it would be better to reward you with a piece of gold than this...
After changing his clothes and adjusting his crown, he came out of the side hall and returned to His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er looked at it, nodded slightly, and said: "Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
He sat respectfully on a chair on one side, and the maid who was waiting on him filled him with fragrant tea.
His Majesty Li Er held the tea cup and said: "I have wronged you at the court meeting just now."
In fact, he is not a king with clear rewards and punishments. If his ministers make mistakes, especially those who followed his Xuanwu sect and fought against them, fought bravely outside Hulao Pass, fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood to capture this beautiful country.
The old ministers are extremely kind-hearted. If they have not committed major crimes of treason like Hou Junji, they will never punish them for minor mistakes. Even if they violate the law or are impeached, they will mostly be punished symbolically.
, just to cope with it.
But as long as there is merit, he will never be stingy with rewards.
This is a monarch who is very able to see the benefits of his ministers...
He naturally knew that Fang Jun's incident was purely self-inflicted. It had nothing to do with him, but he stepped forward to ease the conflict between the royal family and Guan Long. This act of loyalty and taking the overall situation into consideration was highly appreciated by him.
Fang Jun hurriedly said humbly: "I don't dare to take credit! I am your Majesty's minister. I work for your Majesty and work hard for your Majesty. I will die for myself."
His Majesty Li Er was obviously very satisfied and said happily: "As I said again, it is not a bad thing for you to settle down for a period of time. You can calm down and deal with the affairs of the academy and teach the students well for me. The benefits of this are not as good as those of the Minister of War.
There are few positions.”
The most important purpose of his founding of the academy was to personally serve as the academy's "grand sacrificial wine" and turn these outstanding students from all over the world into "disciples of the emperor". In the future, these students will be the emperor's most determined supporters when they enter official careers.
Advocate, the most loyal defender of imperial power!
During this period, Fang Jun, who has the important responsibility of teaching in the college, can naturally gain a rich network of contacts. In the future, students will hold important positions in the government. Everyone must maintain the quality of respecting teachers and morality in front of Fang Jun. This
How can political qualifications be compared to that of a mere Minister of the Ministry of War?
In the future, if you become Prime Minister, most of the officials in the Manchu Dynasty will clasp their hands and salute and call you "Sir"...
Fang Jun looked grateful and said sincerely: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I understand the importance and will definitely do my best for the affairs of the academy. Don't worry Your Majesty."
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't expect His Majesty Li Er to give him any rewards or value him. As long as he didn't care about his private meeting with Princess Changle and didn't counterattack, he would be thankful to God...
In fact, he was worried at the moment, fearing that His Majesty Li Er called him to see him because he wanted to ask about Princess Changle, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Your Majesty, the academy has just been established, and the affairs are complicated. The minister plans to stay in the academy permanently.
It will take some time to sort out all aspects."
His Majesty Li Er snorted and teased: "It's not easy. Is your roommate sometimes afraid?"
