Chapter 650: Watching the Fire from the Other Bank
Dong Mingyue nestled lazily in Li Yuanjing's arms, with a bit of water-like charm between her brows and eyes. Her slender white jade fingers curled up her black beard, and her beautiful feet stained with impatiens flower juice touched the ground.
Thick and soft carpet.
"I guess there must be a commotion in the court right now, right?"
"It's true. The prince and the king of Jin, one is destined by fate, and the other is in the heart of the emperor. The civil and military officials in the dynasty are busy taking sides, fearing that their own interests will not be protected. But your majesty's actions have made the two sides who were originally evenly matched seriously.
There is an imbalance. Some people who are not optimistic about the prince are beating their feet and chest with regret, while others who support the prince are panicked and trembling."
When it comes to the fight for reserves, it is not just for those who want to watch and not get involved. How many people in the government and the public can have such a distinguished position that they can watch the fire from the other side without harming themselves? Most people may
Whether active or passive, it is inevitable to be involved in this struggle that symbolizes the distribution of power in the future.
It may not affect one's family or life, but the future of the family is closely related. Who is willing to stand on the wrong team and be suppressed and retaliated by the new emperor in the future?
"Haha, competing for fame and wealth, but not knowing that they are drifting with the crowd, where will it be their turn to make the decision? It is really stupid."
"how do I say this?"
Li Yuanjing was a little unsure.
No matter whether the crown prince reverses his position or the Jin king becomes more powerful, it is not a good thing for him.
A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Dong Mingyue's lips, which became more and more charming. She gently pulled back her messy hair and said quietly: "After all, this world is still your Majesty's world. With your Majesty's prestige and means, even if the entire sixteen
If the capital is handed over to the crown prince, what will happen?"
Li Yuanjing thought for a while and nodded silently.
Although I am extremely reluctant to admit it, I have to ask myself that the courage of that imperial brother's methods is truly extraordinary. There have been countless emperors throughout the ages, but there are indeed very few who can compare with His Majesty Li Er.
Although he was not the founder of the country, he made great achievements in the process of founding the country and single-handedly conquered half of the Tang Dynasty. Among the nobles in the military today, none of them were the subordinates of His Majesty Li Er who were born and died in those days. They regarded him as a god and were loyal to him.
?
Therefore, no matter who has the so-called power to command the army, as long as His Majesty Li Er gives an order, no one dares to disobey it.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the prince's seemingly boosting momentum is just that, and there is no real change.
Dong Mingyue's light figure twisted, arousing Li Yuanjing's dissipated anger, but she broke away from his arms and stood on the carpet with a dancing posture.
White clothes and snowy skin, picturesque eyebrows, and a pair of fair and delicate feet standing on the crimson patterned carpet, which makes people feel calm and excited, and they want to rush forward, press them on the carpet, and attack them wantonly.
But I heard Dong Mingyue's clear voice saying with a smile: "The slave family congratulates the prince and congratulates the prince."
Just when Li Yuanjing was about to step forward and knock this pretty woman down for another round, Wen Yan was stunned and asked curiously: "What's so gratifying about this?"
Dong Mingyue smiled sweetly and said: "The so-called snipe and clam fight against each other to make a profit. The more fierce the fight between the prince and the king of Jin, the greater the loss of power to both parties. And these powers all come from your majesty, and the equivalent of losses are all your majesty's."
Strength. If the fight becomes more fierce in the future and causes chaos in both the government and the public, wouldn’t it be an opportunity for the prince?"
Li Yuanjing thought for a while and slapped his thigh suddenly.
If the court situation develops according to normal conditions, he really has no chance. His Majesty Li Er has a firm grasp on the court situation, and no one can try to play any tricks under his nose. But the battle for the reserve position has made the original strong
An irreparable crack has appeared in the DPRK. As the struggle for the reserve intensifies, this crack will inevitably become larger and larger.
His original plan only had one word, "endurance".
Unless His Majesty Li Er is tortured to death, our family will definitely have no chance. Fortunately, His Majesty Li Er's physical condition has been deteriorating in recent years, and he has taken pills in order to pursue the immortal way. The two combined, both mentally and physically, are getting worse and worse.
Difference.
As for himself, he always pays attention to health care and takes supplements every day. Apart from the fact that it is difficult to give up on women, he even limits the amount of alcohol he drinks.
His body is his greatest asset. Although His Majesty Li Er is wise and powerful, his sons are only boasted by the outside world. In his opinion, they are simply vulnerable and cannot hold a big responsibility. As long as His Majesty Li Er is killed,
When the new king succeeds to the throne, it is the time for him to put all his efforts into action.
But now maybe there is no need to wait so long. When the competition for the reserve position is in full swing, the entire government is in chaos, people's hearts are floating and the political situation is in turmoil. Isn't this the opportunity that I have been dreaming of?
Thinking of this, Li Yuanjing put his hands on his hands and laughed loudly: "Previously, I was upset because that idiot Changsun Wuji failed to assassinate Fang Jun in Jiangnan, but now I know that it is best for me that Fang Jun does not die! As long as Fang Jun is there
Now, the prince can always maintain competitiveness. Not only will he not be suppressed by the King of Jin, causing the throne to change hands, he can even counterattack unexpectedly, making the situation even more chaotic. This is a certain blessing.
also!"
"Fang Jun..."
Thinking of that man, Dong Mingyue was in a daze for a moment, and a look of love and hate appeared in his eyes, but it disappeared immediately.
"Your Majesty, don't be negligent. Fang Jun's reputation is getting stronger and stronger now. Although the position of Minister of the Ministry of War has been suspended, his reputation has not declined at all. On the contrary, with the means and courage displayed by Jiangnan and his party, it has become more and more powerful."
He has become a force that cannot be ignored by the military. As time goes by, this son will definitely become the prince’s inner enemy.”
Li Yuanjing agreed with this point, but shook his head helplessly and said: "To be honest, I hate this guy so much, but what can I do? Originally, this kid was wary because of his grievances with the Guanlong nobles.
There are many guards around him, making it difficult for others to get close. This time I encountered another danger in Jiangnan, so I must pay more attention to the security measures around me. If I want to kill him again, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."
With light steps, Dong Mingyue turned behind Li Yuanjing, put her hands on the back of the chair, and said softly: "This son must die, otherwise the prince's great cause will suffer many setbacks, but just as the prince said
, now is the perfect time to eradicate this beast, we still need to endure it a little longer."
Li Yuanjing held the Rouyi with his backhand and said with a smile: "Why does Mingyue need to use such a tone to comfort someone? I know that the most important thing now is to endure. As long as I endure it, time will take away all of my enemies. Those
If you can't take them away, you might as well let them live freely for a while. When the time comes, I will definitely let them live and die!"
Dong Mingyue smiled, and the smile was a little deep.
It's not just the prince who hates Fang Jun. The little girl even wants to drink his blood, eat his flesh, and tear his bones apart to comfort her unmarried husband...
*****
After running around all day, Fang Jun returned to his house in the evening, exhausted.
He took a comfortable hot bath, had dinner, made a pot of hot tea and sat in the flower hall, taking a sip from time to time. His two growing sons climbed up and down around his legs.
, Fang Jun was relaxed both physically and mentally, and felt very comfortable.
But after sitting there for a while, a servant came to the front yard, saying that the master of the house and his mistress had summoned him to discuss the marriage of Fang Yize.
Fang Junxin said that the marriage had been decided for a long time and all the matters had been prepared. What else was there to discuss? However, he did not dare to neglect and quickly changed his clothes. Wu Meiniang chased him out and covered him with a mink fur.
Cloak, just then left the flower hall.
The sky outside was dark and the wind was not strong, but the snowflakes were flying endlessly. The accumulated lanterns hanging under the corridor on the wall were swaying in the heavy snow, and the dim light was not enough to illuminate the road in the yard.
The servant held a wind lantern in his hand and followed Fang Jun through the snow to the front yard.
In the main hall, father, mother, eldest brother, and sister-in-law were all there. Fang Yize, as the "victim", was also at the end of the seat with a dejected look on his face. It was obvious that he had been scolded...
Seeing Fang Jun walk in, sister-in-law Du immediately stood up, stepped forward to take the cloak he took off, and said with a smile: "Erlang, go sit down and have a cup of hot tea. It's very cold today."
Fang Jun bowed slightly: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Then he stepped forward and sat next to his mother. Opposite him was his eldest brother Fang Yizhi, and below him his third brother Fang Yize.
After taking a sip of tea, he felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a little tense, so he glanced at Fang Yize and said with a smile: "Why, did you cause some trouble outside and was chased home to ask for an explanation? Tell the second brother.
Say, let’s see if the second brother can settle things for you.”
Fang Yize's heart moved, and he looked up at his mother, Lu, with a guilty conscience, then quickly lowered his head without saying a word.
Fang Jun looked at it and was stunned for a moment. Did he really guess it himself?
