While Changsun Wuji was sitting motionless in his study, wondering why the relationship between himself and his second son had become lukewarm again, Fang Yiai was also organizing the day's events according to Fang Xuanling's instructions.
Please tell Fang Xuanling as much detail as possible.
Knowing that when Li Shimin questioned Fang Xuanling, it was impossible to conceal the transaction between him and King Qi, Fang Yiai looked at the subtle expression changes on Fang Xuanling's face with some caution, and slowly defended herself with military merit.
King Qi returned to Qi safely in exchange for King Qi coming forward to help resolve the issue of Fang Xuanling resigning as clan leader.
Fang Yiai spoke a little slowly, just because she was afraid that Fang Xuanling would disapprove or something might happen if her mood fluctuated.
A complicated look flashed in Fang Xuanling's eyes, and the expression on his face changed for a moment, then returned to normal in the blink of an eye, but his mind kept churning.
Thinking about the eldest son whom he had enlightened step by step and whom he had high hopes for, and then looking at the second son in front of him who had been abandoned by him but was still standing upright, all kinds of feelings came to his mind.
Fang Xuanling admitted with some frustration that although she could be proud of her career in the country, she had to admit that she really didn't know how to raise children.
Not to mention Fang Yiai, who is still standing next to him, he has not had much involvement in his homework from childhood to adulthood. Even the third son Yize, who seems to have done well in his studies under his supervision, others may not understand, so how can he not?
You know, it can be said that Yi Ze was basically raised by Fang Yiai.
Looking at the concern that could not be hidden in Fang Yiai's eyes, Fang Xuanling felt very close to her.
At the very least, even though Fang Yizhi let his hard work go down the drain when he wanted to plant flowers but not to plant willows, fortunately, Fang Yiai was still there, so that he would not have the face to face this situation of his own a hundred years later.
Ancestors of Fang.
With such a beautiful son, is it enough to make up for the mistake of raising such an unworthy son like Fang Yizhi?
Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling quickly calmed down, combined with the situation of going to Tai Chi Hall to meet the driver today, carefully analyzed the pros and cons of Fang Yiai's actions today, and tried to suppress the possible disadvantages to Fang Yiai to a minimum.
!
Seeing that the complicated look of despair in Fang Xuanling's eyes slowly receded and returned to the brightness it once had when she was concentrating on thinking about things, Fang Yiai slowly let go of her heart, silently exhaled a long breath, and let go of the tension in her body.
His mood slowly relaxed.
As long as Fang Xuanling thinks about things seriously, it means that his actions have not irritated him. While Fang Yiai is relieved, he is also somewhat disappointed.
Regardless of the actual situation that King Qi Li You is currently burdened with and waiting for the emperor to deal with, Fang Yiai promised to use his military exploits to ensure Li You's safe return to Qi. In exchange, Li You came forward to persuade the Fang clan elders to agree to Fang Xuanling's return to the clan.
The conditions for returning the power to the direct descendants of the Fang family.
If Li Shimin hadn't understood Fang Yiai's temperament, understood that Fang Yiai was the one who nailed the prince's carriage, and also knew that Fang Yiai couldn't be stupid, there would have been no way that someone like Li You would have made a difference.
The vassal king, but Fang Yiai's rash promise to King Qi was enough to make the suspicious emperor have countless thoughts.
It can also be said that if Fang Yiai hadn't grown up little by little under Li Shimin's attention, she would often hang out in front of Li Shimin no matter what happened. What Fang Yiai did when she went to Prince Qi's Mansion today, I'm afraid.
It's impossible to just kneel down for such a short period of time and get scolded and everything will be over.
He was dragged out and accused of despising the king and having an affair with the vassal king. He might not even be given a chance to defend himself, and he would probably be taken to Caishikou and beheaded. Well, it's all possible.
So, seeing Fang Xuanling just looking at him with complicated eyes and a look of sadness for a while, and then regaining his former shrewd and focused thinking, how could Fang Yi not lose his heart?
It's like a child. He takes something he thinks he has done well and brings it to the adults. He doesn't ask for much, he just asks for any praise from the adults, even if it's just perfunctory, but in the end he gets nothing, and he feels a huge gap in his heart.
It's inevitably a bit big.
Realizing that her mood was somewhat inexplicable, Fang Yiai raised her lips in a self-deprecating manner and scolded herself. She was only a few years younger than Fang Xuanling in her two lifetimes. How could she still act like a child?
Psychologically, the more I live, the more I regress.
Reluctantly, he stretched out his hand to rub his knee, which had long since lost its strangeness. He thought to himself, what happened today, although it was for the sake of preserving the dignity of Fang Xuanling and the Fang family that I took the risk to negotiate terms and make a deal with King Qi.
But actually, it’s not just for myself.
During this trip to the west, I had made so many achievements by accident. Even if I was not as good as Qin Huaiyu and others who had fought on many battlefields, there was no way I would be kicked out of the top three.
Whether judging from Yu Shinan's previous analysis, the secret teachings of Fang Xuanling and others, or the fact that he was removed from the title before he got it, it can be said that Li Shimin planned to treat him in the official career.
The grace of support is left to the future emperor.
Therefore, he does not want to promote himself too much, lest there be a situation where there will be no rewards and no promotions after the new king takes the throne in the future. That would not only be bad for himself, but also for the future new king.
A troublesome situation.
Therefore, in this case, the more military achievements he has, the more worried he will be for Li Shimin, and the more detrimental it will be to his future.
Therefore, within the scope of Li Shimin's permission, if you make some mistakes, before you are rewarded based on your merits, you can not only offset part of your merits, reduce some trouble for Li Shimin, but also exchange some benefits for the Fang family.
Nor would he allow himself to dazzle others and attract jealous eyes at such a young age.
With this in mind, well, my reckless mistake was well worth it.
This was a good method that Fang Yiai came up with after thinking hard after returning to Beijing early and dealing with the funerals of Sun Yunniang and Feng Tiejiang.
The reason why I didn't dare to discuss it with Fang Xuanling before was that I was afraid that Fang Xuanling would think it was too rash and inaccurate, or that when Li Shimin inquired later, if Fang Xuanling knew about it in advance, it would be detrimental to his father and son.
, and even Li Chengqian was really concerned about it by Li Shimin's imperial ambition.
Realizing that eyes were falling on her, Fang Yiai retracted her divergent thoughts, raised her eyes, and met Fang Xuanling's admiring eyes. With just one look, Fang Yiai's previous disappointment was swept away.
.
At the same time, it also made Fang Yi understand lovingly that Fang Xuanling had already thought through all the things that he had thought of all these days in one cup of tea.
I couldn't help but admire my father's exquisite thoughts. He was worthy of being an evergreen tree that had stood for many years. Even Fang Yizhi's messy things could not implicate him.
"Although this move is a bit risky, it is still in line with the emperor's wishes. However," Fang Xuanling looked at Fang Yiai and said.
"Huh? The emperor wants to deal with me, right?" After hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Fang Yi couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Why did Li Shimin like to constantly create little troubles for himself over the years?
Forget it, Fang Yiai resigned herself to carrying forward Ah Q's spirit and comforted herself by saying, Quan thinks this is a different kind of emperor's care. After all, most people want to be made fun of by the emperor, but they don't have such a big reputation. She also has the right to do so.
You should entertain your relatives in colorful clothes and be filial to your father-in-law.
Seeing Fang Yiai's somewhat depressed expression, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but feel happy and shook her head helplessly. He also couldn't understand why Li Shimin treated Fang Yiai so, well, uniquely.
"Well, after listening to what the emperor said today, I'm afraid the emperor won't approve the Ding Youzhezi you proposed." Fang Xuanling said with a slight frown.
"Huh? Why? This seems to be somewhat inconsistent with etiquette, right?" Since Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, in order to prevent others from saying that he was suspected of imprisoning his father, whether it was true or not, Li Shimin has always paid great attention to filial piety. Fang
Yiai couldn't think of a reason why Li Shimin didn't approve his petition to Ding You.
"The Emperor asked me to bring you a message." Fang Xuanling sighed, looking at Fang Yiai's expression, thinking about whether he should say the words.
Sensing that Fang Xuanling was a bit embarrassed, Fang Yiai knew that Li Shimin's offer to take charge might not be a good idea.
"The Emperor asked me to ask you that your biological parents are still here. Please write to Ding You, where do you want to take care of your parents?" After saying this, Fang Xuanling carefully paid attention to every change in expression on Fang Yiai's face.
Although Feng Tiejiang and Sun Yuniang were both saved and educated by Fang Yiai, as adopted sons, morally speaking, it is not an exaggeration for Fang Yiai to worry about them.
But after all, Fang Yiai was his biological son. Seeing his son fulfill his filial piety before someone else's knees, and then have Ding You die after his death, he felt a little uncomfortable no matter what.
Even so, whether it was when Taiji Palace heard Li Shimin say it himself or when he relayed it at this moment, Fang Xuanling still felt that Li Shimin's words were a bit harsh.
Seeing Fang Yiai's brows furrowed because of these words, Fang Xuanling felt a little bitter in her heart, and her expression became a little stiff. She wanted to say something to persuade her, but she couldn't say anything.
She couldn't help but think with some self-deprecation in her heart, maybe, in Yiai's heart, Feng Tiejiang was more of a qualified father than herself, and Yiai was more intimate and casual in front of him than in front of herself.
Such an open and honest opportunity to escape was deprived of it by Li Shimin in such a blatant way! Fang Yiai thought with some reluctance.
But he had to take into account the feelings of Fang Xuanling and Mrs. Fang, so he dealt with Fang Xuanling sincerely and said apologetically, "What the emperor reprimanded is that the child was not thoughtful and made the father worry."
