Fang Yiai was also really tired. She hadn't had a good rest for many days. After tossing and turning for half an hour, she fell into a deep sleep.
There were no guests coming so early in the morning, so Fuasaki planned to let Fang Yiai sleep a little longer. When someone came back, it wouldn't be too late to wake up Fang Yiai. Anyway, he was sleeping with his clothes on, so he wouldn't wake her up.
What impact...
Seeing the sky getting brighter and the sun rising high, Fuasaki couldn't help but pray, hoping that the emergency report from the border would not involve his young master and allow him to have a good rest for a few days.
Usually, the wishes are beautiful, but the reality is skinny.
It is common for things to backfire.
Not long after the court meeting had just begun, Fangzaki had the two children, Jinqi and Jinlin, who were filial piety, serve breakfast. Someone from the palace came over and told Fang Yiai to attend the court today.
Even if Fuasaki was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it, let alone vent his anger on Eunuch Xiaolin, whom he had known for a long time. He secretly glared at Eunuch Xiaolin, saying that the golden melon seeds should be given, at least he could wake up the young master.
At this time, you also have to understand why the prince asked the young master to go to court.
"I'm afraid, Mr. Fang has also gone to the border." Regarding the dissatisfaction flashing in Fuasaki's eyes, Eunuch Xiaolin turned a blind eye because he was a transparent person. He also knew how tired Fang Yiai was these days. Even in the
That night in the East Palace, because the prince asked Fang Yiai, who was extremely tired, to rest in his room, he made Lord Wei Zheng and uncle Changsun Guo unhappy, and Eunuch Xiaolin had already heard about it.
Fang Yiai has always had a pretty good relationship with him, and she doesn't treat him as a human being. In addition, knowing that Fang Qi is a close person to Fang Yiai, she also sincerely treats Fang Yiai. That's why Eunuch Xiaolin is so generous.
.
Otherwise, those one or two servants who dared to touch Qiao in front of him. He was not yet under the emperor's command, and the people who repaired him didn't even know his biological parents!
After being woken up by Fuasaki, and listening to what Fuasaki conveyed to Father-in-law Xiaolin, Fang Yi understood in her heart that she might not be able to afford a trip to the border.
The frown disappeared. Fang Yiai glanced at the mourning hall of Feng Blacksmith and Sun Yunniang, and sighed silently. He offered incense to Feng Blacksmith and Sun Yunniang. Fang Yiai burned the paper and kowtowed three times respectfully.
.
Fuasaki was told to pay close attention to the funeral and the two children, so he dressed in full mourning and followed Eunuch Xiaolin to the court.
Since the deceased was the oldest, Eunuch Xiaolin was not allowed to enter the mourning hall. He offered three sticks of incense to Feng Blacksmith and Sun Yunniang, and paid their respects properly.
"Young Master Fang, you..." There are really not many people who dare to go to court wearing mourning clothes. Eunuch Xiao Lin couldn't help but open his mouth to remind Fang Yiai.
"When Eunuch Lin left, didn't he say that there was an urgent report from the border? Don't keep the prince and the adults in the court waiting anxiously." Fang Yiai cut off Eunuch Lin's words calmly and said calmly.
After looking at Fang Yiai's expression, he thought of this person's relationship with the prince and the so-called matter of asking this person to go to court. Eunuch Xiaolin knew that this person would not be punished, so he didn't say anything more and nodded.
, led a group of people back to the palace.
Fang Yiai came to court with a filial piety, and was criticized a few times, but no one bothered about it. The Confucian filial piety has been passed down for thousands of years. It is not just an empty word, it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Fang Yiai
Although this move is slightly disrespectful, it is not too excessive.
We all share one-third of an acre of land in the capital. Everyone knows that although they are not serious parents-in-law, even the seventeenth princess who is favored by the emperor and the queen also followed Fang Yiai to pay full filial piety to Feng Tiejiang and Sun Yunniang.
.
For Fang Yiai to go to court dressed in filial piety, it was not a big deal.
Fang Yi fell in love with the court, and then he found out that Li Shimin and others were trapped in Duoke City, and the enemy did not kill them. He wanted to wait for work, trap Li Shimin and others to a certain extent, and then attack the city, so that he could defeat the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.
The emperor, generals and ministers were captured.
Because of the previous war, a lot of food and grass had been destroyed. After being trapped in the city for several days, the food and grass still showed signs of insufficient support.
Reluctantly, after deliberation, Li Shimin could only send Cheng Yaojin, who had always been regarded as his lieutenant, together with Cheng Hualiang, who was worried about his father walking alone. The father and son led five thousand elite soldiers. Under the cover of night, the enemy surrounded the enemy who had been lax for many days.
At that time, break out toward the southeast.
Although the direction of the breakout is the southeast where the enemy's defense is weakest, there are also two enemy generals and more than 10,000 troops stationed there!
After a fierce battle, only a few hundred of the five thousand elite soldiers survived the encirclement!
Cheng Yaojin followed the emperor's orders and escaped with dozens of people to seek help. Cheng Hualiang took the remaining hundreds of people to break up the rear and buy Cheng Yaojin and others as much time as possible to escape.
On the way back to Beijing, Cheng Yaojin and others met Qin Huaiyu and his party who had been sent out for rescue by Li Chengqian in advance.
Cheng Yaojin, Qin Huaiyu and his entourage returned directly to the border, and only sent messengers to Beijing to report the news, not only to ask for help, but also to urge for supplies.
The rescue troops have been dispatched in advance, so there is no need to send additional troops.
Looking for Fang Yiai to come to the court, she was just thinking about the remaining generals in the court. Basically, they can no longer be easily dispatched. Therefore, the matter of transporting grain and grass to the border prisons was chosen over and over again, and she wanted to leave it to Fang Yiai.
Come take responsibility.
On the other hand, it was also because Fang Yiai was the first to guess that Li Shimin might be trapped in Duoke City, and wanted Fang Yiai to go to the border and pacify Xue Yantuo as quickly and smoothly as possible, so that the emperor, who had already lost some face, could recover as soon as possible.
In order to save face, I returned to the court early, which also saved the attention of everyone in the court and outside the palace. They all paid attention to it, and it was difficult to sleep well at night.
Fang Yiai had no reason to postpone, so she naturally had no choice but to accept the order. She was also a little worried about Cheng Hualiang, who was leading hundreds of soldiers to cover Cheng Yaojin. What was his current situation? How long had Qin Huaiyu and others arrived?
Near Kecheng, is there a place where you can meet up with Cheng Hualiang and others?
If Cheng Huailiang was not in danger, Cheng Yaojin would not have been ordered to return to the capital to ask for help. He would not have left with Qin Huaiyu and others halfway. He would not even have been able to wait to enter the capital to see the prince!
The Ministry of Household Affairs was given two days to sort out the grain and grass, and Fang Yiai set the departure time for escorting the grain and grass to the day after tomorrow.
After the next court session, Fang Xuanling asked Fang Yiai to go back to Fang's house first and have a good talk with Mrs. Fang, so as not to make Mrs. Fang worry too much.
Fang Yiai nodded in agreement, went to the Ministry of War, and then returned directly to Fang's residence.
Fang Xuanling returned to the household department to arrange everything, handed everything over to the people below in an orderly manner, and hurried back to his house.
Although he is the head of the Fang clan, he has always been an official in the capital, and the affairs of the clan are handled by the clan elders.
Since the clan elders came to Beijing yesterday evening, he was discussing matters in the palace, and Fang Yiai wanted to keep vigil. Fang Yize, who was still half-year-old, came out to receive him with the help of Fang Shen. I wonder if the clan elders would be unhappy.
?
Moreover, Fang Xuanling also wanted to know the details of the return of Fang Yi's coffin to his hometown for burial as soon as possible.
The clan elders agreed to let the deceased's coffin be buried in the ancestral grave. What happened in the process?
Fang Xuanling felt a headache when she thought that the clan elders came not only to fulfill their conditions, but also to examine whether Fang Yiai was suitable for the position of eldest son.
Fang Yiai had no intention of becoming the eldest son, he had known it for a long time. Moreover, Princess Gaoyang was not suitable or willing to be the eldest daughter of the clan in the future, Fang Xuanling also knew it in her heart.
But in the letters exchanged between the clan elders, because they were optimistic about Fang Yiai's future, they wanted Fang Yiai to be the eldest son so that he could succeed the clan leader in the future. Moreover, if Fang Yiai succeeded the clan leader, the future princess would be their Fang family.
Being the patriarchal wife of a clan, this is no small honor.
Fang Yiai must not take the clan elders' ideas seriously. In addition, with the recent incident, Fang Xuanling is afraid that if the clan elders entangle Fang Yiai, Fang Yiai's temper will explode.
The reputation at home is not good.
Fang Xuanling hurried back to the house and heard Fang Shen say, "The second young master just came back home dressed in hot filial piety. He only nodded to the three clan elders and said hello. He didn't even open his mouth or introduce himself.
, just, went straight back to the backyard to visit my wife."
Fang Yiai has emotions, and although they are excusable, those elders who are used to being arrogant in their hometown don't understand! Now they are showing their faces in the living room, and both Fang Shen and Fang Yize are apologizing.
It was no longer the case for a while.
Seeing the worry in Fang Shen's eyes, Fang Xuanling's expression was not much better.
Driving slowly along the way, after listening to Fang Shen's concise explanation, Fang Xuanling did not expect that the people in the clan had to ask Fang Yiai to be the eldest son and inherit the position of clan leader in the future, and even required Fang Yiai to be buried directly in the ancestral grave.
It also allows Fang Yiai to inherit the position of patriarch in the future, and Princess Gaoyang becomes the wife of the Fang family in charge of the ancestral sacrifices!
In addition, it is just a slight addition, adding one hundred acres to the clan, and assigning it to the clan's official sacrificial land.
After hearing this, Fang Xuanling paused, the helplessness in his eyes flashed away, he took a long breath, calmed down his mood, arranged his clothes, and then walked back to the living room where the clan elders were entertained.
Because Fang Xuanling is the person with the highest official position in the Fang clan, and the clan has received a lot of blessings and benefits, even though the clan elders are senior and powerful, they dare not touch Qiao in front of Fang Xuanling.
At this time, they also stood up one after another.
Seeing Fang Xuanling come in and chatting with the clan elders, Fang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and secretly checked the nervous sweat on his forehead. He thought to himself that it was indeed wise for the second brother to ignore these clan elders who relied on their elders.
Ah! It seems that my eyesight still needs to be exercised.
Fang Yiai's attitude offended the clan elders, and Fang Yi didn't care at all that he was being embarrassed by the clan elders. In his opinion, his second brother was excusable, and these strange clan elders
They seem a bit unreasonable.
However, these words were only said in the heart, Fang Yize was not so stupid as to say it with his mouth.
Fang Yi followed Fang Xuanling respectfully and politely, while Fang Yi carefully observed and understood Fang Xuanling's speaking skills in dealing with clan elders.
The second brother said that when dealing with others, you should learn from your father in some situations. (To be continued...)
