It was like a bucket of cold water poured down on the head, extinguishing the enthusiasm in the hall in an instant. Everyone present could not help but shudder when they thought of the tragedy of the Yuan family.
This is especially because the powerful Yuan family of Guan Long did not provoke Fang Jun, but suffered the tragic price of annihilation of the family. People like him wanted to cut off Fang Jun's future with open swords and guns, so how violently would Fang Jun react?
That is a stick who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and acts without any regard for the consequences...
Fang Jun is capable, courageous, has a backing, and has a holy family. He is rampant in Guanzhong and stands tall in the court. If Fang Jun cannot be killed with one blow, what kind of backlash will he and the master behind him suffer? Just thinking about it makes people sad.
shudder.
Hu Chong took a panoramic view of everyone's expressions and said angrily: "There is someone standing in front, and you are just vassals. Even if you really can't help Fang Jun and get backlash, what do you have to fear? Even if Fang Jun is a stick, how can you be afraid?"
Do you really dare to attack Guanzhong and all the aristocratic families in the world?"
When everyone thought about it, it was right...
Even if Fang Jun and the Guanlong Group are currently fighting each other with swords and guns, they are actually very measured in their attacks and will not easily break the tacit understanding. At the time when Jiangnan was in chaos, the Jiangnan nobles actually did not suffer much direct losses.
As for the Lu family and the Yuan family, things happened for a reason.
The Lu family wanted to kill Fang Jun, which obviously exceeded the limit of all parties. Fang Jun either waited for death or fought back. In the end, the Lu family was destroyed. In fact, Fang Jun could not be blamed.
The Yuan family actually committed suicide by themselves. Every family has done that kind of thing, but it has never been as blatant and so heartless as what the Yuan family did. Rather than saying that the Yuan family fell into Fang Jun's hands, it was better to say that it provoked
He overcame the anger of the people and fell under the wrath of the people.
Although without Fang Jun, those mud-legged people would have no choice but to defeat the Yuan family...
But the purpose of what we are doing now, why did we ever want Fang Jun's life? It's just because he blocked everyone's financial path and we want to drive him away. With Fang Jun's backstage, holy family, and his own financial resources
, when you get there, it’s not just a group of princes, but a group of heroes making changes?
We just asked you to leave Jingzhao Mansion. It’s not considered a mortal enemy, right?
With this thought, everyone felt relaxed again.
Someone said: "Shopkeeper Hu is a righteous man! With the eldest son's family taking the lead, what do we have to worry about?"
"Shut up! This matter was initiated by Hu. What does your response have to do with the Changsun family? What does it have to do with other clans?" Hu Chong scolded angrily.
What a fool!
There are some things you can do, but you absolutely cannot say!
The emperor can tolerate the noble families' subterfuge and defiance of the emperor's order, and can even tolerate secretly boycotting the Jingzhao Mansion. However, if you incite merchants and hawkers to fight against the Jingzhao Mansion, or even coerce the people to attack the East Market, you want to push the various noble families into rebellion.
A dead end?
Everyone was shocked and said quickly: "That's right! It's because we were negligent. However, please tell me exactly how we should act. Please make it clear to Shopkeeper Hu that we will obey it."
They all received the notice from the master to "cooperate" and were waiting to see what regulations Hu Chong would come up with.
Hu Chong then smiled and waved: "Everyone gather here, let's discuss in a low voice, be careful that the walls have ears..."
Naturally, the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better, so that they can get away with it calmly afterwards.
*****
Wei Mansion.
Fang Jun received the emperor's order and asked him to stay here again and notify the emperor immediately if Wei Zheng was in danger. Fang Jun ordered people to go back to the palace to inform him and inform him of the details of the place to avoid worries at home.
Cheng Yaojin took Fang Jun to the side hall.
He and Wei Zheng are entangled in grudges, but after all, they went out to Wagang Village together in the past, and their relationship is naturally extraordinary. Now that Wei Zheng is critically ill, he always stays here to prevent emergencies, which can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship of the past. He is such a human being. He was carefree and thick-skinned. He didn't see anyone outside the Wei family. He ordered some people to prepare a few side dishes, warmed a pot of wine, and drank slowly with Fang Jun while chatting.
Li Siwen was just here for a visit. After His Majesty Li Er left, he hurriedly left. Before leaving, probably because there were so many people and it was inconvenient to talk, he gave Fang Jun a wink, but Fang Jun didn't understand...
As for Li Siwen, Chai Lingwu, Zhang Xiangxiang and other descendants, no one is qualified to sit on Cheng Yaojin's table. Even Chai Zhewei, who inherited the title of his father Chai Shao, looked at Cheng Yaojin's dark face. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to get close.
This man is not only an elder, but also a reckless man. If he gets angry and beats himself up, where can he go to reason with him?
Besides, the bully Chai Shao is dead, so how can the juniors have any feelings for Wei Zheng? Coming to visit can be regarded as reminiscing about old friendships, so there is no need to stay here for a long time, so several juniors left one after another, and in the end it turned out that Only Cheng Yaojin, Fang Jun, and a number of close and distant relatives of the Wei family are left...
Cheng Yaojin took a sip of wine, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Did you see it? The world is so cold, it's better to be like this. After all, Xuancheng is also a dignified prince and an important minister in the court, but when he is about to die, both of them are avoiding him for fear of not being able to do so. .Don’t tell someone that Xuancheng is a tough person and not good at socializing. These are completely different things! Xuancheng has been upright throughout his life and has made numerous criticisms. Countless people have benefited from him, but where are they all now? It’s just that Xuancheng is about to die, and the children and grandchildren of the Wei family are useless and have no use value..."
He took a sip of wine, sighed, and looked lonely.
Fang Jun picked up the small wine pot and poured a full cup for Cheng Yaojin, saying: "It's not surprising that people leave with tea to cool down. The world is like this."
Cheng Yaojin chuckled: "You have really become a spirit. It is rare to be able to see through the world at such a young age."
Fang Jun clinked the cup with him, drank it down, and asked curiously: "Uncle Cheng, you, Ying Gong, Zhao Guo Gong, Jiang Guo Gong, Zou Guo Gong, and Qiao Guo Gong are all companions who share life and death in Wagang Village. Why?" At this point, it doesn’t seem like we are close to each other?”
In my previous life, because I loved the storytelling "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", I knew a lot about the history of this period. And Shan Tianfang's version of "The Forty-six Friends of Wagang" is full of passionate, loyal and courageous heroes. It once fascinated Fang Jun.
Regardless of official history or unofficial history, we know a lot about this period of history.
However, after the dissolution of Wagang Village, all the heroes went their separate ways, but there were many things that were difficult to understand...
For example, Wei Zheng, the eldest brother of "Forty-six Friends", was not close to Shan Xiongxin who died fighting for Wang Shichong, or to Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, Zhang Gongjin and others who took refuge with Li Shimin. This is strange. .
Cheng Yaojin's face darkened slightly, and his expression was a bit ugly.
He lifted the quilt and drank it all in one gulp. After a while, he sighed: "It's a long story..."
Fang Jun said: "Then let's make a long story short."
Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened: "Why is this good man so obsessed with filial piety like women and children?"
Fang Jun complimented: "Isn't this the great reputation of Wagang Village in those days, which made the younger generation yearn for it?"
This is not necessary.
Let’s take a look at the list of generals who came from Wagangzhai, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Pei Renji, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, Wang Junkuo, Niu Jinda, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin... It can be said that the generals are shining brightly and all the heroes are gathered together!
Just imagine how invincible and invincible Waganzhai was when it was all-powerful?
Cheng Yaojin was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Xuan Cheng has been rigorous in his life. This is a good thing, but because of this, he did the wrong thing... When Wagang was defeated at the hands of Wang Shichong, we followed Li Mi to seek refuge with Emperor Gaozu. Emperor, Shan's second brother had an ancestral grudge against Emperor Gaozu and refused to rely on him. He turned to Wang Shichong and served as his general, which led to a gradual rift between the brothers. Later, in the battle of Hulao Pass, we followed His Majesty for three thousand and ten soldiers. Wan, defeated Wang Shichong and captured Brother Shan. How can we not remember our old friendship and try to persuade His Majesty? Your Majesty is also a person who loves talents and plans to take Brother Shan into his account. Brother Shan is really A hero, a real hero, would rather die than surrender to the enemy... We once again urged Your Majesty to intercede for Brother Shan. His Majesty originally wanted to let Brother Shan live for the sake of following us to the death. ...But Xuancheng...sigh..."
Cheng Yaojin sighed, his face full of sorrow, but he stopped talking and refused to say more.
Fang Jun thought to himself, could it be that Wei Zheng said something stupid at that time, "Don't let the tiger return to the mountain to cut the weed, you must root it out", which made His Majesty Li Er change his mind? Or maybe His Majesty Li Er didn't want to believe Shan Xiong in the first place. Letting go of an enemy with great appeal and fighting ability will make the Li family face a formidable enemy in the future, so following Wei Zheng's words, Shan Xiongxin was killed?
