Chapter 268 Human Selfishness

Getting off Liu's carriage, Fang Junce rode straight to Jiangxia County Prince's Mansion. Li Daozong and Ma Zhou sat in the flower hall. Seeing Fang Jun's clothes were soaked, he quickly asked someone to take a shower and change his clothes. When Fang Jun changed his clothes, the banquet was ready, and the three of them gathered in the flower hall for a drink.

Li Daozong was obviously put on a trick by His Majesty today, trying to separate his relationship with the Eastern Palace in this way, which made him very upset.

Li Daozong, when he was a teenager, followed His Majesty Li Er to attack the country. During the "Xuanwu Gate Incident", he helped him with all his strength without hesitation, but now he is so suspicious...

He was in a bad mood and was drunk easily. After drinking half a pot of old wine, Li Daozong looked flushed and his eyes were blurred. He began to complain about His Majesty Li Er's distrust, and even expressed his dissatisfaction with Yi Chuzhi without any hesitation. Then he got drunk and was supported by the maid to go back to rest.

Fang Jun didn't know whether Li Daozong was really drunk or not. Whether those words were intentional or absent. In short, the main person was drunk and the wine came to an end.

When the two left the mansion, Ma Zhou looked at the heavy rain, worriedly said: "It was finally possible that the water level of the waterways in Guanzhong would drop, and this heavy rain would have to lift the water level again. Many temporary dams may not be able to withstand the flooding. Once the dam is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable. I will leave the city to check the water situation and ask Erlang to urge the prince to let the 'rescue team' participate in the disaster relief more, otherwise the people of Guanzhong would be in a catastrophe."

He is a pure minister and does not care much about the ownership of the crown prince. This world belongs to His Majesty Li Er. He will let His Majesty whoever son is the crown prince. As a minister, he should only stabilize and suppress the situation when the court situation changes, and do his best, rather than having to let His Majesty Li Er set up the crown prince according to his own wishes.

Compared to the ownership of the reserve, he cared more about the people suffering from disaster in Guanzhong.

What's the point of who the emperor is?

The people are the foundation of the country...

Fang Jun held an umbrella, looked up at the misty building in the distance, and nodded, "Don't worry, the 'rescue team' is now hosted by me, and there is enough money and food. Once the water situation is severe, soldiers will be recruited and expanded to the scale and rescue more victims as much as possible."

Since Fang Jun was hosted, Ma Zhou immediately felt relieved and patted Fang Jun on the shoulder: "Erlang's heart of comforting the people makes me deeply admire him. Let's say goodbye first, and wait until the water mood changes, and then send someone to contact you."

Turning around and walking into the storm, he gallops out of the city.

After leaving the city, I picked up the curtain and looked out, but I saw the rain was vast and boundless, and the mountains and mountains were all shrouded in it. The heaven and earth seemed to be covered with a layer of green carpet, spreading horizontally, and the rain became more and more green as it washed away.

Even though it rained so heavily, there were still farmers wearing straw raincoats and hats walking between the ridges of the fields, checking the seedlings, digging waterways, and caring for every piece of land carefully.

In fact, it is not difficult to appear in prosperous times. It is just that "official administration is clear and clear". As long as the official holds his position, he is not greedy or possesses, and promulgates the imperial decrees to the world. Even if there are occasional natural disasters, he can provide quick rescue, help the people overcome the dangers, and preside over the recovery and post-disaster reconstruction.

The Nuo Empire cannot cause disasters everywhere, right?

A disaster is caused by all places, and all directions support you. Today you will help me, tomorrow I will help you, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be together...what else is afraid of disasters?

Officials like Fang Jun are the blessings of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world. They have obviously been dismissed from office and seized military power, but others have already been depressed. No matter how floods the world is, Fang Jun is still sincere and does his best to help the victims. This open and honest mind is enough to make most officials in the world ashamed.

With such an official, why worry about the world being unsuccessful and the prosperity of the world?

It’s a pity that Your Majesty placed him in a position of imprisonment such as the Minister of Rites. With Fang Jun’s talent, even if Guo seized his military power, he should be placed in a position that could demonstrate his ability. At least Ma Zhou felt that he, Jingzhao Yin, was not as good as Fang Jun…

I just hope that this YiCu storm will pass as soon as possible, the court will return to stability, and the government will do its best to make the empire's national strength higher.

****

Fang Jun returned to Youtunwei Camp in a carriage and was summoned by Li Chengqian.

When he arrived at the tent where Li Chengqian lived, he found that the banquet was ready. Li Chengqian even stopped him from showing his salute, and took his hand intimately to the table, and said with a smile: "It's raining heavily today, I'm free and have nothing to do. I want to have a few drinks with Erlang."

Fang Jun couldn't sit still and hurriedly stood up because the woman holding the pot with gorgeous clothes and slim figure was actually the crown princess...

Who can stand the serving of the Crown Princess to pour wine?

Fang Jun said in panic: "Why are the two Your Highnesses? The minister is so terrified."

Li Chengqian laughed: "Erlang sat down quickly. You must know that there are very few people in the world who can serve the crown princess. Even if you are alone, you cannot enjoy this treatment."

The Crown Princess Su pursed her red lips, and a gentle smile on her pretty face. She approached her and held a pot in her jade hand to pour wine for Fang Jun. The fragrance of orchids and musk lingered in her nose, causing Fang Jun to feel his heart, and he quickly lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and held the cup in both hands.

This kind of gratitude is really unusual...

After three rounds of drinking, Li Chengqian and the Crown Princess Su raised their glasses together, pondered for a moment, and said sincerely: "I am very relieved to receive Erlang's help from me, and I have no regrets in this life. However, Erlang is the humerus of my father, but he is also the subordinate of my father. How could he repeatedly violate the emperor's orders and make the world ridicule Erlang's disloyalty? If I am demoted to the people in the future, Erlang should stand by and watch, and do not conflict for my father, otherwise I will suffer from the burden. Gu and the Crown Princess will be ashamed and die with their eyes closed!"

The Crown Princess Su also raised her glasses aside, her dignified pretty face full of gentle smiles, and said softly: "Erlang is a genius, and is not righteous enough to help the world, and his achievements are for generations. However, God's will and fate are so good. Your Highness will never inherit the throne and cannot give Erlang the power to guide the country... The matter of throne was abandoned. In the future, our husband and wife will regard Erlang as confidants, and we also ask Erlang to treat us as close friends. We have free time to drink and drink tea, but we have no longer any ties to do political affairs."

As he said that, the couple raised their glasses together and drank them all in one go.

It is obvious that the prince and the princess have realized that the dispute over the throne is irreversible, and it is a matter of time before the loss of the throne is a matter of time. They will never change their destiny because of any will. If that is the case, why should Fang Jun be so loyal and loyal, both ministers and friends, spend only energy and be suppressed by His Majesty?

Originally, Fang Jun's talent and Your Majesty's trust were enough to be powerful in the future, progressing the ambitions, and leave a brilliant mark on history. Even if it is still respected and envied a hundred years later, it is regarded as a model. If it is finally declining because of the prince and never get the position of prime minister, how can Li Chengqian and his wife bear it?

Fang Jun has done what should be done and what should not be done. Otherwise, the Eastern Palace would never have been deposed by His Majesty today.

Now, it is Li Chengqian who lets go completely and lets these loyal men go their separate ways, instead of doing it even though they know they cannot do it. In the end, everyone falls into the abyss together and has no way out.

It is very unwise and useless.

It’s better to stop the loss as soon as possible and completely give up the idea of ​​reserving the position...

Fang Jun also raised his glass and said in a deep voice: "I am powerless in the matter of the throne, but as long as I am still in the court for one day, I will always do my best to protect Your Highness and his descendants. This is not only to repay Your Highness's trust and reliance, but also to last the Tang Dynasty's reign, so that every change of the throne will not be accompanied by bloody storms."

After saying that, I raised my glass and drank it all.

Li Chengqian was quite steady, his eyes were a little red, and he patted Fang Jun's shoulder twice: "Just do your best. If you really can't do it, it's hard to remember Erlang's kindness, and there will be no resentment."

The Crown Princess Su had already left the table and bowed down. Tears were rippling in her beautiful eyes, and she choked and said, "I am not willing to die. If Erlang really can protect the prince, I will be a cow and a horse for generations to repay Erlang's great kindness!"

As he said that, he actually threw himself into the ground with the first one.

When the throne is lost, life will naturally be in danger. There has never been a deposed prince in ancient times and the present. Li Chengqian and his wife have already accepted their fate. But as mothers, who can watch their children go to the underworld with them?

If Fang Jun really can keep the prince and the Crown Princess is willing to give everything, how much does it care about kowtowing?

Although the Crown Princess expressed her gratitude sincerely, Fang Jun dared not bear it? He quickly stood up and avoided it and said quickly: "Crown Princess, don't you want this, isn't it a bad minister? Please get up quickly, please get up quickly!"

Li Chengqian also sighed. In the past two days, he talked with the Crown Princess many times, and finally made him realize that the current situation is irreversible, and the loss of the crown prince is a foregone conclusion. Even when will the white silk given by his father be welcomed, the poisoned wine is unknown, and the whole family has prepared to go to the underworld together... However, at this moment, he heard that Fang Jun was willing to protect the life of the prince, and the defense line built by the Crown Princess in an instant completely collapsed.

He reached out and helped the princess up, and shed tears and said, "Erlang is not righteous and can do what he agrees, but your great gift will make him risk his life even if he knows that he cannot do it? This is not the original intention of the lonely."

He firmly believed that Fang Junzhi was a human being. Since he agreed, he would go back to do it as long as the conditions were acceptable. However, wouldn’t the Crown Princess have kidnapped Fang Jun morally and had to do it even though she knew she could not do it?

This is by no means his original intention.

Su was helped up by Li Chengqian, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. Her eyes looked at Li Chengqian with pleading: "Your Highness..."

生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生

She was indeed a little selfish, but she understood that with Fang Jun's ability, if she didn't care about rescuing the prince, she would still be able to succeed, and this was also the only hope for the prince to survive. Even though she knew that Fang Jun could kill her, as a mother, she would not be noble even if she wanted to be noble...

Fang Jun stood aside, watching the couple hugging each other, Li Chengqian kept whispering in Su's ear, and sighed heavily in his heart.

He didn't understand. Could it be that Li Er's friend took too much medicine and damaged his brain, so he had to save it easily?
