Husband and wife are one, connected with each other. Seeing Fang Jun's slightly absent-minded expression, Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang knew what she was thinking. Wu Meiniang pursed her lips, her eyes were full of charm, and she could still be favored by her husband after giving birth.
, is naturally a matter of pride. Princess Gaoyang was slightly embarrassed, raised her jade hand and patted Fang Jun's body lightly, and said angrily: "This is the Hall of Wude, don't mess around."
Fang Jun took a sip of warm water, pressed down his semen, looked around, and asked, "How long have I been sleeping and at what time?"
From the time of the King of Jin's mutiny until today, although we have formulated a strategy with His Majesty, it has been full of dangers and has been in danger of failure many times. The cruel environment that Fang Jun has faced has been extremely stressful, and the loss of energy has been extremely serious. By the time he reaches Jin Dynasty,
Wang was defeated and captured, and Yuchi Gong committed suicide. He suddenly relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
Wu Meiniang said softly: "It's already three quarters past midnight, and my husband has been sleeping for several hours."
Fang Jun stood up: "Where is your Majesty now?"
There were many ministers present before, and many words could not be said. Now we must meet with His Majesty to make a decision on the court's next strategy.
Princess Gaoyang put down the teacup, stood up, straightened Fang Jun's collar and bun, and said: "Your Majesty is in the bedroom, and he probably needs to sleep for a while. You may as well go to the side hall to take a bath and change clothes, and then see your Majesty again."
After days of fighting, Fang Jun's body was covered with rain, blood, and sweat mixed together, making him look a little embarrassed and smelling very strong.
Fang Jun shook his head and stretched: "If you still want to report to Your Majesty, we can't delay. I'll go to the bedroom to ask for an audience first. You guys can make preparations and send someone back to the house to clean up. We will return to the house tonight."
"Then let's wait for Mr. Lang."
The two women nodded with joy on their faces.
There are many inconveniences in living in the palace. The gold and silver nests are not as good as the doghouse at home. I am really not used to being away from home for many days...
…
The rain was much lighter, but the patter was lingering and unbreakable. The palace lanterns outside the dormitory exuded an orange-red halo, and the water-drenched blue bricks on the ground cast a bright reflection. Fang Jun came to the door of the dormitory and begged to see him.
The chamberlain at the door did not dare to neglect and hurried inside to report. Soon after, he turned around and respectfully said: "Your Majesty is taking a nap. The Queen asks the Duke of Yue to come in and wait for a while."
Fang Jun hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That's fine."
Then he followed the chamberlain inside and came to the study on the side of the dormitory.
The study room here is simply decorated, with a large bookshelf on the wall. The books are neatly arranged with pens, inks, paper and inkstones, but there are no memorials or documents. Obviously, Li Chengqian did not deal with government affairs here, and it was probably used for reading before going to bed.
Fang Jun took his seat and the chamberlain said, "I'm going to make tea for Duke Yue."
Fang Jun nodded, and the chamberlain bowed and exited, leaving Fang Jun alone in the study.
After a moment, he was wearing jingle bells behind him. Fang Jun looked back and saw Queen Su, who was dressed in moon-white silk uniforms, walking in with a jade lotus in her hand. A hand-width belt around her waist tightened her waist and hung down.
The two silk ribbons are tied with two jade pendants, which collide with each other as they walk, making a crisp and sweet sound.
Fang Jun stood up in a hurry and bowed in greeting: "I have met the queen."
Su's steps were light and her fair and beautiful face was filled with a happy smile. She walked past Fang Jun, leaving behind a wisp of fragrance like orchid and musk...
Putting the jade plate on the eucalyptus table next to Fang Jun, Su took out the teapot, teacup, and two plates of cakes and placed them on the plate. She sat on the chair on the other side of the eucalyptus table with a smile and a soft voice:
"Your Majesty is taking a nap. He is really exhausted mentally and physically these days. Therefore, I have not woken up. I would like to ask Erlang to wait for a while."
Fang Jun hurriedly said: "Wei Chen is reckless."
Several candles were burning on the candlestick, and the candlelight illuminated the study room very brightly. Under the halo of the candlelight, Su Shi's fair and pretty face seemed to glow slightly, and her slightly plump body was tightly wrapped under the moon-white silk palace skirt.
, the light refraction makes every undulating mountain range, ravine and valley appear exceptionally clearly. It can be described as more than just an "exquisite relief"?
Coupled with the lingering fragrance on the nose that can't be distinguished from body fragrance or something else, the atmosphere is slightly ambiguous...
Mrs. Su raised her jade hand to gather a stray strand of hair at her temples, and placed it behind her crystal-clear jade ears. She poured the tea herself with a smile, and then pushed the tea cup in front of Fang Jun, her cheeks slightly rosy:
"Erlang, while you're drinking tea, you might as well eat some pastries to cushion your stomach."
Fang Jun sat upright, a little frightened: "How dare you trouble the queen? I have overstepped my bounds!"
"What do you mean by trespassing? Regardless of the previous rebellion at Guanlong or the current rebellion by the King of Jin, Erlang, your achievements are all vivid in my mind. Everyone in the world sees them and respects them in their hearts. Your Majesty and I are not ungrateful people.
No one can be too kind to you, and you deserve any courtesy."
Su's beautiful eyes reflected the candlelight, dotted with light, and her pretty face was full of sincerity.
Fang Jun was a little confused. Although he had always had a good relationship with Mr. Su, he had never been alone in the same room with a man and a woman like this before. Mr. Su looked friendly and had a kind attitude. Instead of calling him by title, he kept saying "Erlang"
”, which really made him a little frightened.
Could it be that the disharmony between His Majesty and the Queen caused the Queen to be dissatisfied with her desires?
Fang Jun drank tea, ate cakes, and chatted with the queen, feeling on pins and needles...
It has to be said that Queen Su came from a scholarly family, with a virtuous character, dignified appearance, and a slightly plump body full of plump juices. Her charming and mature age is the most able to arouse a man's desire to conquer... But Fang Jun
I ask myself that I am definitely not a lustful ghost, and Li Chengqian is extremely fond of him, and he cannot live up to this feeling of monarch and minister. I am tired of living and crooked, so I dare to lay a finger on the Su family?
I was in a state of confusion when I suddenly heard someone speaking outside the study: "Erlang came to the palace to pay his respects. Why didn't you wake me up?"
Apparently he was scolding the waiter outside the door, and then he saw Li Chengqian walking into the study wearing ordinary clothes.
Su and Fang Jun both stood up to greet them. Li Chengqian smiled and waved his hand, walked to the main seat and sat down, motioning for the two of them to take their seats, and said with a smile: "Those chamberlains don't know how to do things. If the queen hadn't personally entertained them, they would have been neglected."
Erlang."
Mrs. Su stepped forward to pour tea for Li Chengqian, and bent down slightly. From Fang Jun's point of view, she could see her slender waist, plump and straight...
"In terms of marriage, Erlang is my brother-in-law. In terms of merit, Erlang is your Majesty's humeral minister. Since he is not an ordinary foreign minister, I have always been close to Erlang, so I came out to chat for a few words. Your Majesty, please don't blame me for arrogating.
.”
The harem is not allowed to interfere with politics. This is almost the standard for every wise king, so Su Shi must explain it.
Li Chengqian took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Erlang and I met in times of crisis. Although we are monarchs and ministers, we are inseparable from each other. I am very pleased that the queen can treat Erlang as one of her own without avoiding suspicion."
Mrs. Su straightened up and said softly: "Then I won't disturb you monarchs and ministers in discussing military and state affairs. Please retreat first."
When Li Chengqian nodded, he turned around, a smile appeared on his beautiful cheeks, his eyes met Fang Jun's eyes, and after a moment he took it back, walked away with a gentle walk.
…
"Your Majesty, the palace is still not stable. The positions of many servants and maids are unclear. You must be careful in your daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation. No amount of caution is too much. In addition, you should also pay more attention to King Wei and the other princes to guard against ulterior motives.
They are secretly stirring up trouble."
Fang Jun got straight to the point and expressed his biggest worry.
Li Chengqian's political talent was not outstanding among Taizong's disciples, but it was definitely not bad. He immediately understood the meaning of Fang Jun's words, thought about it for a moment, and said seriously: "Don't worry, Erlang, I will definitely be more careful."
Fang Jun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Chengqian taking matters seriously.
After finally surviving the two mutinies of Guanlong and Jin Dynasty and winning the victory, there will be an era of peace and tranquility in front of them. If Li Chengqian is assassinated at this time, the good situation will be ruined and it will be enough to become the laughingstock of the ages...
Li Chengqian took a sip of tea and asked, "What do you think of the punishment of the noble family members?"
Fang Jun shook his head: "Your Majesty, Duke Ying, Xu Jingzong, and Ma Zhou are assisting you in this matter. It is inconvenient for me to be involved in this matter."
"Well, that's fine. Although government affairs are important, they are far less important than military power. You will firmly control the military power around Chang'an for me and ensure the stability of Guanzhong. As long as there is no chaos in Guanzhong, no matter how rampant those powerful families are, there will be no chaos.
This is the country of the Tang Dynasty."
Guan Long, the King of Jin rebelled twice in a row, which really scared Li Chengqian out of fear. He also realized the importance of military power like never before. As long as military power is in hand, it doesn't matter whether the ministers in the court are loyal or traitorous. The worst is to be demoted and replaced.
Yes, but once the military power is out of hand, it will easily lead to overthrow and annihilation.
And the only person in the world who can give Li Chengqian absolute trust is Fang Jun. Only if this military power is placed in Fang Jun's hands can he, the emperor, sleep peacefully at night...
Fang Jun poured tea for Li Chengqian and said warmly: "Don't worry, your majesty. I will immediately start to abolish the left and right garrison guards and the left and right marquis guards, and form the left and right Jinwu guards to guard Guanzhong and guard Chang'an. Your majesty will only carry out the suppression of the noble families. Even if
There is no need to worry about those who are disdainful and go against the trend."
Li Chengqian hesitated when he heard this, paused, and then said hesitantly: "Is the strategy we agreed on before... too extreme? Land is the foundation of aristocratic families, and whoever dares to touch their foundation will fight to the death...
…”
Fang Jun looked at the hesitant Li Chengqian and said decisively: "The existence of aristocratic families is a huge hidden danger to the inheritance of the empire and must be eliminated! Your Majesty, just rest assured, if any of them dare to move, the humble ministers will kill them with their heads rolling.
Blood flowed like a river! Xu Jingzong can be responsible for this matter. He summoned all the former academy students and asked the 'Baiqisi' to send elites to accompany them to various parts of the world to measure the land of all states and counties in the world. If there is any concealment, failure to report or obstruction
If you measure it, you should be punished with death!"
