"Oh my, the Duke of Yue is here. No wonder I heard the magpie chirping in front of my door early in the morning, but it turned out to be a good news!"
Li Yuangui walked quickly out of the front door, and the servant at home was deeply worried, fearing that he would anger Fang Jun, but he said such passionate and slightly flattering words.
Menzi: Is this what you intend to "teach" Fang Er?
Then when he saw Fang Jun dismounting from his horse, Li Yuangui walked down the stone steps in front of the door, stepped forward to hold Fang Jun's hand, and said with a look of annoyance: "When Erlang comes to the door, he is an honored guest. Prince Huo's palace is full of brilliance, but why not?"
Should I send someone to inform you in advance? I would like to make a lot of preparations and treat you well."
"Ah,"
Fang Junpi chuckled without a smile, turning a blind eye to Li Yuangui's flattery: "I will come to Beijing when I return today. Your Highness must know why I am here."
Li Yuangui quickly took Fang Jun's hand up the stone steps and walked into the door: "Although I have always admired Erlang for a long time, I really don't have the opportunity to get close to him. Today just happens to let us sit down for a few drinks and have a good chat."
All the servants of Prince Huo's Mansion: Although the Second Fang is a stick, you are also a prince after all. Why are you so humble and flattering?
Li Yuangui didn't care whether his majesty had weakened a bit. He just wanted to provide for this young ancestor, happily welcome him into the mansion, and then send him away happily, otherwise the Prince of Xiangyi County would be in trouble.
The main hall of fire is the fate of Prince Huo's Mansion...
The servants had already received the order, and when Li Yuangui went out to greet the guests, they held fire sticks and lit all the lanterns in the house. By the time Fang Jun was pulled through the door by Li Yuangui, the huge Huo Prince's Mansion was already brightly lit, bright and gorgeous.
It's really "Pengpi Shenghui"...
When the two of them entered the main hall, the beautiful and graceful maids, dressed in light gauze, with their graceful bodies looming, entered the hall to clean the tea sets, boil water to make tea, put various snacks on the carved lacquer coffee table, and lit "
Ruiborneol", the elegant and fragrant aroma rises and lingers with the blue smoke, refreshing the heart and mind.
This thing came from Jiaozhi as a tribute. "The dipterocarpus tree is like a fir. It grows in deep mountains and poor valleys. After thousands of years, its branches have not been damaged, so there are still some left, otherwise the brain will be deflated." This shows that it is extremely precious. Even if
It was rarely used in the imperial palace, but in Prince Huo's Mansion, it was lit casually.
The extravagance of King Huo is evident.
After the tea was prepared, a group of musicians filed in from the outside and sat on both sides behind the door. For a while, the harp and harps were playing in harmony, and the drums were playing. The maids, dressed in fragrant hair, sang and danced to the rhythm.
What a joy this is.
Li Yuangui stroked his neatly groomed beard, and poured tea for Fang Jun with a pot in his hand. He smiled brightly and said in a sincere tone: "I know why Erlang came to the house recently, but it's because of my evil son.
But there is actually something else going on."
Fang Jun lowered his head and glanced at the tea cup, but did not drink. He raised his head and looked at Li Yuangui: "His Royal Highness, is he shirking his responsibility?"
Li Yuangui put away his smile and said seriously: "Although I, Li Yuangui, dare not claim to be a hero, I am still an upright man and dare to take responsibility. If this matter is really the work of my evil son, I will hand it over to Erlang immediately and kill him or cut him into pieces."
It's up to you. But the background of this matter is extremely complicated and involves many things. It may not be that he didn't intend to use Erlang's sharp knife to kill the king. If he falls into the enemy's trap in a hurry, wouldn't it mean that his relatives will be in pain and his enemies will be happy?
?”
Fang Jun shook his head: "His Royal Highness is just talking to himself, who can take it seriously? No matter whether there is someone behind the scenes, the Young Master is the most direct one, so why not invite him to speak out?"
Li Yuangui lowered his face, stared at Fang Jun with sharp eyes, and said slowly: "Really, you really don't save any face?"
He thought that he was such a courteous and virtuous corporal, that he had to compromise, analyze the truth, and analyze the pros and cons. Fang Jun always wanted to give himself, the prince, some face, but who would have expected that this guy was so incompetent.
Fang Junqi said: "What your Highness said is interesting. Your Majesty didn't give me Fang Jun face first, so why did Your Highness still blame me?"
Li Yuangui sighed and said: "The dog is shapeless and almost collided with His Highness Changle. He really deserves it. But because he is still young and ignorant, can we let him go?"
Fang Jun asked in return: "I wonder if your master is your Geng?"
Li Yuangui was stunned for a moment, then realized something was wrong and fell silent.
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Look, you also know that youth is not an excuse, right? As far as I know, your son is twenty-five this year. Not only does he have many wives and concubines, but he also has several sons... He is several years older than me.
Years old."
Li Yuangui didn't know what to say, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "Erlang is extremely talented and talented. He is a genius that has not been seen in a century. How can we compare it with a dog's stupidity?"
Fang Jun lowered his face and looked at Li Yuangui: "Your Highness, you are shameless, right?"
Li Yuangui suddenly changed his color, became angry and said angrily: "Who are you talking to?"
Fang Jun was not afraid at all: "I respect you and call you Your Highness. If I don't respect you, even if I spit in your face right now, what can you do to me? A man doesn't know how ugly he is, and a horse doesn't know how handsome he is! What a confused old man!
"
He stood up and kicked the coffee table over, causing the tea set to fall to the ground and shatter into pieces.
The melodious singing and dancing came to an abrupt end, and the musicians and singers were walking around in confusion. I don't know why the two of them suddenly started quarreling from talking and laughing.
Fang Jun said coldly: "Since you want face, then I will give you one. Let's give it up for today. I will send Li Yi to Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Temple before midnight tomorrow to wait for disposal. If it is not late, I will come to invite you in person!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.
Li Yuangui was almost stunned. He was the son of Emperor Gaozu and had a distinguished status. How had he ever been threatened by someone pointing his nose at him like this?
What's more, he kicked over the coffee table in front of him!
This stick is completely unreasonable!
I already told him that there was another mystery behind this matter, but this guy didn't listen at all. He only stared at his son and bit him like a mad dog. It was simply unreasonable!
"Mother!"
Li Yuangui cursed angrily and overturned the coffee table in front of him to the ground, leaving a mess on the ground.
This bitch is so cautious that he doesn't even dare to drink tea. Originally, he wanted to imitate the story of how King Wei dealt with Pei Huaijie in Luoyang and give him a beauty to sleep with...
The musicians and singers in the hall were trembling with fear and fear. They lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, not daring to say a word.
…
After returning to the mansion, Fang Jun took a shower and went to the study room in the backyard to explain today's events to Fang Xuanling in detail.
Fang Xuanling was dressed in regular clothes, and he no longer had the sharpness of the days when he was the leader of the world. He was as gentle, gentle, and honest as a wealthy man. Hearing this, he drank tea and pondered for a while, and asked curiously: "Although you are fierce in dealing with things, you are not reckless."
Why did you come to humiliate Li Yuangui like this? That’s all. He should have dealt with interests in a tough manner, so why did he give Li Yuangui a chance to calm down? "
Since he came to the door to show off his face, he would not stop doing anything and deal with Li Yi. However, he asked Li Yuangui to surrender tomorrow. Tonight, Li Yuangui must ask people to intercede. The Fang family cannot let anyone lose their face.
Not giving it?
It's not Fang Jun's style to start and end like this. He obviously has other plans.
Fang Jun's face was solemn: "That was my original plan. If I can't deal with Li Yi, there will definitely be people with evil intentions in the future. I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid that they will target my family and be hard to guard against. But Li Yuangui is very calm and doesn't know what to do.
You are not afraid that I will deal with Li Yi. This shows that there is really another mastermind behind this matter, and this mastermind is beyond my reach, so Li Yi is safe."
Fang Xuanling was stunned at first. Is there anyone in the world that Fang Jun doesn't dare to touch?
Immediately I was shocked, there really is...
"Are you sure?"
"I used verbal humiliation to test the situation. Li Yuangui's expression was filled with anger and absolutely no fear. He was really not afraid of me dealing with Li Yi."
"Why."
Fang Xuanling sighed and said quietly: "Our Highness, I am afraid that all the kindness and kindness are just an act, and his true temperament is his narrow-mindedness. Emperor Taizong met countless people in his life, and rarely made miscalculations. He knows his son better than his father.
How could one make a mistake in choosing the crown prince? In the ninth year of Wude, Emperor Taizong consecrated the crown prince in October of the year he ascended the throne. It was the general trend at that time. However, Emperor Taizong later went back on his word many times and wanted to appoint another prince, but in the end due to various reasons
The trip failed... Emperor Taizong was wise and wise, rare in ancient and modern times."
There was silence in the study room. The father and son sat across the table, each drinking tea.
After a long while, Fang Xuanling asked softly: "What are you going to do?"
Fang Jun put down his tea cup and said seriously: "To this day, I still believe that His Majesty is the most suitable Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Even if he has flaws, his flaws cannot be concealed."
Fang Xuanling sneered: "The so-called flaws do not hide the advantages, it means that compared to the King of Wei and the King of Jin, His Majesty is more suitable for you to act, right?"
Fang Jun shook his head: "My child has no disobedience at all."
"Of course I know," Fang Xuanling sighed: "If you know your son better than your father, how could I not know that you have no ambition for power? But you want to do something, and you want to do something unprecedented and unimaginable. If you want to succeed, you must have both
Unbreakable military power requires the emperor's full support, and neither the King of Wei nor the King of Jin can tolerate you to that point."
Fang Jun smiled bitterly: "I thought that His Majesty would be more docile and soft-hearted, but I didn't expect that once power is involved, he wouldn't be able to tolerate me."
After a pause, he cheered up: "Then do it more simply and force him to give in!"
Fang Xuanling asked curiously: "How to force me?"
Fang Jun laughed and said: "Throughout the ages, we have always paid attention to the mean, so we generally like to compromise when doing things. For example, if I say that the house is too dark and I need to open a window, someone will not allow it. But if I want to demolish it
There will be people on the roof who will mediate, compromise, and be willing to open windows.”
"Um?"
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and glanced at his son in surprise. These words sounded very casual and simple, but it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to summarize the meaning. It revealed a kind of wisdom that can see through the essence of things.
