Since leaving Chengtianmen, the rain has subsided a lot. The lights in the imperial city are brightly lit. The officials of the Ministry of Works are leading the craftsmen and the civilians are urgently repairing the damaged official buildings so that the central departments of the imperial court can resume operations as soon as possible.
Passing Yanxi Gate to the east, groups of heavily armed soldiers came and went in order on the street. From time to time, rebels hiding in various neighborhoods and thieves who took advantage of the situation were tied up and pushed, and escorted out of Chunming Gate into the East Palace on the sixth floor.
He led the military camp and will be tried after the situation stabilizes...
Fang Jun swaggered across the street surrounded by his own soldiers, which immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers and government officials who were maintaining law and order. Just as he was about to step forward to stop him, he saw the soldiers in front carrying lanterns and playing out the "Yue Guogong" sign, and he was immediately frightened.
After a jump, he quickly bowed and retreated, not daring to say anything.
Entering Chongrenfang under the attention and courtesy of the servants, he returned to the gate of Liang Guogong's Mansion and dismounted. His family generals and servants came up and respectfully welcomed Fang Jun into the gate. This time, Liang Guogong's Mansion was attacked by the rebels.
The casualties were considerable. When these generals and servants looked at Fang Jun, they could not help but feel a sense of excitement after a separation...
Fang Jun walked slowly and asked with concern about the casualties in the palace. Hearing that Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang had summarized the casualties and formulated the conditions for pensions, he nodded and said warmly: "This time the rebels are in trouble, you will never abandon me and will fight to the death."
Follow us, I will keep them in mind, and I will not treat you lightly! Although the rebels have been wiped out, Chang'an is not yet stable. You still need to be cautious and be on strict alert, so as not to allow the rebels and bandits to take advantage of you."
"Here!"
All the generals and servants agreed in unison.
"Don't worry, Erlang, not even a bird can fly into the house!"
"With Erlang in charge, how can the little bandits dare to invade my mansion?"
The crowd was excited.
Although his family never participated in major events such as the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, it was Erlang's navy that finally captured Pingrang City. Moreover, during the two rebellions of Guanlong and Jin Dynasty, Erlang was the one who protected the country and turned the tide and succeeded Zhenguan.
After the honorable ministers gradually grew old, their own Erlang became the most meritorious person in the court!
With such a head of the family, every chicken and dog in the house is proud and proud, and their admiration and worship for Fang Jun is like the rolling Wei River, passionate and surging!
Fang Jun smiled and nodded. As he walked into the main hall, he asked the butler Fang Fu: "Have His Highness and the ladies gone to bed?"
Fang Fu said respectfully: "I was originally waiting for Erlang to have a meal in the back hall, but after I came back from the palace, I started to tidy up all the places in the house. In addition, I spent these days worrying and worrying in the palace, so I was physically and mentally exhausted, so I was waiting.
So I fell asleep in the back hall...and I don't know if Erlang will be able to come back tonight, so I persuaded you ladies to go to bed in the bedroom."
Fang Jun hummed, sat on the chair and ordered: "Tell the servants in each room not to disturb the ladies' sleep, so that they can have a good sleep. Have someone prepare hot water and clean up a side room. There is no need for dinner."
, I will rest after taking a bath."
"Here."
Fang Fu responded and quickly asked people to prepare hot water, and sent someone to inform the servants in each room not to disturb the ladies' rest...
After taking a shower, Fang Jun changed into clean and fresh clothes, lay down in the side room, and fell asleep in a short time.
Although I slept in the Butokuden Hall before, the situation was not yet completely stable at that time, so it was difficult to sleep peacefully with something on my mind. Now that I returned to my own home, the overall situation was settled, and I relaxed physically and mentally.
…
The next morning, before dawn, Fang Jun woke up from his deep sleep.
Princess Gao Yang, Wu Meiniang, and Jin Shengman came in from the door and served Fang Jun to change into a purple robe of the state. A goldfish bag was tied to the jade belt. Their hair was neatly tied up and they put on tiaras. They packed up and accompanied them.
Fang Jun enjoyed breakfast together.
Because I will be entering the palace later to attend a court meeting, my breakfast is just simple porridge and side dishes...
Putting down the bowl quickly, Fang Jun stood up, and the three women walked him to the door. Fang Jun stopped, looked at Jin Shengman and asked: "Has your sister arranged everything properly?"
As the first king after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the fate of Queen Seondeok attracted worldwide attention. Now Furong Garden has been severely damaged by the rebels. She cannot return to her residence for the time being and can only be resettled in Chongrenfang.
However, the matter between Bang Jun and Queen Seon Deok is known to the whole world, and this concern is obviously not only at a political level...
Jin Shengman was overjoyed and said softly: "Don't worry, Sir, my sister will accompany us out of the palace. Your Highness has already placed her in Chongrenfang. There is no need to worry about any daily necessities."
Fang Jun looked at Princess Gaoyang with joy, nodded and said with a smile: "Your Highness is my virtuous wife, and I am lucky to have such a wife."
Princess Gao Yang rolled her eyes and snorted: "I am not a jealous person, but my energy is limited. If I cannot take care of you, it will be a sin."
Jin Shengman covered his lips and smiled.
Fang Jun was a little embarrassed, so he laughed, and said to Wu Meiniang: "Your sister...it's easy to take care of her."
This time even Wu Meiniang laughed.
Fang Jun did not dare to say anything, so he quickly said goodbye, strode out of the main hall, got on the carriage and headed to Tai Chi Palace.
…
Although the heavy rain for many days has not stopped, the intensity of the rain has decreased a lot. The patter of rain has washed away the inside and outside of Chang'an. Thin white mist can be seen when the people and horses breathe. The low temperature also makes the inside of the city and the palace very wet.
The corpse will not rot quickly, which greatly reduces the possible breeding of diseases.
The carriage entered Yanxi Gate and arrived at Chengtian Gate surrounded by soldiers. Fang Jun got off the car and ignored the officials waiting to enter the palace to attend the court meeting. Under the guidance of the chamberlain, he went straight into Tai Chi Palace and went straight to Wude Palace.
Under the rain corridor outside the palace, Li Ji, Li Daozong, Liu Zi and other important ministers have arrived and are sitting in the pavilion drinking tea waiting to go to the palace. Fang Jun came near and was about to do something. Li Daozong waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is a normal time."
Treason, you are the greatest hero, how dare we, who are living in a corpse position, dare to be your gift? Sit down quickly and have a cup of hot tea."
Fang Jun straightened up, walked to Li Daozong and sat down next to him.
Liu Zi didn't look good. It's okay that Li Daozong spoke too highly of Fang Jun. However, describing him as "a person who eats nothing but a corpse" inevitably made him a little dissatisfied. We are not military generals and do not have the power to command troops, but we still accompany His Majesty.
In the Wude Hall, life and death are always together, so how can it become a "vegetarian meal in the corpse position"?
However, this place was outside the Hall of Wude, and he did not dare to act recklessly. He could only remain expressionless and dissatisfied.
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and saw Li Junxian standing on duty outside the gate of Wude Hall, so he waved to Li Junxian and called him in front of him. Li Junxian walked over quickly, bowed and saluted with an attitude Respectfully, like a subordinate: "I have met the Duke of Yue. I wonder what the Duke of Yue has ordered?"
Liu Zi's heart inevitably sank...
Now that the King of Jin has been defeated, there are many people in the imperial court who are overtly and covertly relying on them. Li Junxian's "Hundred Cavalry Division" must be of great use, and after the Youtun Guards and the Sixth Army of the East Palace withdrew from the Taiji Palace, the entire defense of the Taiji Palace was destroyed. Li Junxian is in charge and has great power, but in front of Fang Jun, he treats himself like a subordinate. It can be seen that Fang Jun's current status and power have already become a leader in the army.
After all, Li Daozong and Li Ji were also in front of him, but Li Junxian regarded them as nothing...
Fang Jun waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, the rebels surrendered. Have you ever found the whereabouts of Cheng Wuting, Cheng Chubi, Qu Tuquan and others?"
Li Junxian said respectfully: "These three people have been rescued, but they are all seriously injured and are undergoing emergency treatment. In addition, the Jiangxia County Prince, the Chai brothers and others have also been handed over to the 'Baiqisi' and are now in custody." , awaiting His Majesty’s decree.”
Fang Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Chubi and Qu Tuquan were defeated and captured when they blocked the rebels from entering the customs. Cheng Wuting assisted in the defense in Taiji Palace and was defeated and captured by Li Daozong. Since then, their whereabouts are unknown and there is no news. Fang Jun I have always been thinking about it, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
Now that I got the exact information that he was not killed in action, I immediately felt relieved and said to Li Junxian: "When the court meeting is over, you can send someone to take me to visit these people."
Li Junxian responded: "Here."
Seeing that Fang Jun had no more instructions, he turned back and stood up again in front of Wude Hall...
After less than half an hour, Wei King Li Tai and all the ministers arrived. Under the leadership of Li Ji, they lined up and entered the Wude Hall.
The meeting begins.
…
Li Chengqian was wearing an ocher-yellow robe and a heavenly crown, sitting on the throne looking very energetic.
The main purpose of today's court meeting is to discuss the restoration of various ministries after the rebellion, the relief of the people in Guanzhong, the placement of rebel prisoners and other matters. It involves all aspects and involves many interests, so there is a quarrel in the court. But Li Chengqian has already issued an order on this matter Li Ji, Xu Jingzong, and Ma Zhou were in charge. These three had to have status, abilities, and strategies to appease the interests of all parties involved as much as possible. Therefore, although quarrels occurred one after another, in general they were the same. They were solved quickly one by one.
After all the complicated affairs were almost settled, Li Daozong said, "May I ask Your Majesty, how should the King of Jin handle it?"
The ministers who had been noisy and quarreling over their own interests all fell silent, and there was silence in Wude Hall.
Li Chengqian was silent for a while and then asked: "In the opinion of the king, how should the king of Jin punish him?"
Li Daozong left the table, took two steps forward, knelt down in front of the throne, and kowtowed: "The King of Jin is young, has little knowledge, and does not have a firm stance. Although he committed such a big mistake, his crime is not worthy of death. Your Majesty should bewitch the King of Jin." Xiao Yu, Chu Suiliang, Cui Xin and others who implemented military remonstrances were sentenced to death to uphold the law of the country and serve as a warning to others!"
Li Chengqian was noncommittal, looked at Fang Jun, and asked: "What is the Duke of Yue's opinion on this?"
Fang Jun also stood up and left the table, bowed to the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is in charge of the world and speaks of the Constitution of Heaven. No matter what the holy will is, I will wholeheartedly support it. However, there is some truth to the words of the king of Jin. Although the king of Jin made a big mistake
, but considering that he is young, he should not be punished too harshly and can only be imprisoned."
This matter was agreed yesterday after the King of Jin was defeated and captured. Li Chengqian did not want Li Zhi to die, but what Li Zhi did was actually a capital crime. If he were to be spared, public opinion would be divided, so he let Li Daozong, Fang Jun and others first
