Chapter 1702 Under the Moon
But how can a person escape the scheming of fame and fortune while living in the world?
It seems that there is a lot of singing and laughing, but how many people seem to be in harmony with each other, how many people have ulterior motives, and how many people are nostalgic for family?
Very hypocritical, but this kind of hypocrisy is indispensable in life.
Because these people represent a group, a class, and they need such a happy scene to maintain relationships and manage interests.Even though he knew it was just a play, he never tired of performing it.
In life, as long as the six roots are not truly purified and the mortal relationship is cut off, no one can completely get rid of this kind of performance, even if the noble is like a minister, a prince, or even an emperor, he cannot escape the vulgarity.
The world is the stage, and all the crowns are actors.
*****
Even though Wei Wang Li Tai tried his best to ease the atmosphere, the banquet still ended hastily, and when the bright moon rose east, all the princes and princesses all dispersed.
Fang Jun was left behind by Li Tai, and the two came side by side to a water-facing pavilion by the Qujiang Pool in front of the building, and sat by the window.Outside the window, the bright moon is in the sky, the clear light is sprinkled on the water surface, the slightly rippling waves are shining with a faint silver light, the air is cold, and the scenery is picturesque.
Two beautiful maids knelt in front of them and brewed tea with bare hands. When the fragrance of the tea was overflowing, Li Tai waved them away, picked up the teapot and filled the teacup in front of Fang Jun, and took a shallow sip , took a breath, and said casually: "There is no need to be formal, just casual."
Fang Jun likes to hear this. Although maintaining the necessary etiquette in front of a prince will not damage his dignity, but too many rules will inevitably make people restrained and extremely uncomfortable.
After taking a sip of tea, Fang Jun casually asked, "How is the 'post office' doing?"
In order to publish books and promote paper at low prices, after obtaining the permission of His Majesty Li Er, a "postal department" was set up under the Ministry of War, and houses and shops were set up at post stations all over the country to sell all kinds of books printed by its own printing factory and sell low-cost paper .
But this "post office" is directly under the orders of Wei Wang Li Tai...
The reason why Li Tai still forbears Fang Jun's shameless troubles at the banquet today is because Fang Jun is willing to give him such a good job of gaining merit and fame without hesitation.
Although Li Tai is arrogant and indulgent, he is becoming more and more particular about his work. Fang Jun handles everything from conception to preparation to operation of this "post office", but when it comes time to harvest the fruits, it is all handed over to him. This kind of favor must receive.
He knew that Yan Wang and Jiang Wang brought gold and jewelry to Fang's house by truckload for this errand, but Fang Jun returned them all intact...
There are all kinds of bad things about Fang Jun, but the only thing is that he is particular about his work and keeps his word.
Li Tai also has merits, others are particular about him, and he is even more particular about it.
You treat me as a gentleman of the country, and I will repay you as a scholar of the country.
The result is that the two fastidious people are getting closer and closer, and the past embarrassment seems to be gradually disappearing...
Li Tai put down his teacup, took a piece of delicate pastry from the saucer on the tea table, put it in his mouth, and said relaxedly: "Unexpectedly, those aristocratic families regard the imperial examination as taboo, but they also care more about their own reputation." We sell books and paper at low prices. They want to resist, but they dare not resist. Otherwise, they will bear the bad reputation of suppressing poor students from studying and hindering the spread of Confucius and Mencius. Without a good reputation, what kind of aristocratic family is it? ?So even if their teeth itch with hatred in their hearts, and wish they could set fire to posting libraries all over the world, they don’t dare, and even have to make efforts on the bright side.”
Li Tai sneered, feeling that he could make those aristocratic families look sad all day long, and the emotion of "you can't understand me but you can't kill me" in his heart is really cool...
Fang Jun also laughed, but he still reminded: "You still need to be more cautious. Those guys can be passed on for hundreds of years, but they are not some fuel-efficient lamps. There are wise and wise, but there are also cruel and ruthless ones. Your Highness must be careful."
Wei Wang Li Tai smirked, leaning on the back of the chair with a body that lost a lot of fat but still strong, looking at Fang Jun with infinite sorrow: "If it was in the past, killing this king would not be with these aristocratic families. Opposing, but trying to get approval and support, to compete for the position of the crown prince. But now, the position of the crown prince has become a luxury, doomed to me, so what is there to worry about? The so-called no desire is strong, let them just use the means Take it out, unless you use the dead in your family to assassinate me, otherwise, I will do this for the rest of my life."
The path to becoming the crown prince has been cut off, but His Royal Highness Wei Wang feels that he can't just be a prince in his life, pamper him, eat and wait for death, and he has to do something anyway.
Things like "rejuvenation of the Tang Dynasty culture" really suit his appetite. Not only can he stay away from the political vortex without being involved in it, but also he can be famous in the world and spread his name to future generations, so that his name will be engraved on the history and be loved by future generations. worship.
After a hundred generations, some people may forget who the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty was and what he did, but as long as there are scholars, they will never forget the efforts and achievements that His Royal Highness King Wei made to promote Confucianism and spread knowledge. feat...
When a leopard dies, its skin remains; when a man dies, his name remains.
Fang Jun praised: "Father Kuafu pursues the sun, Jingwei fills the sea, where there is a will, there is a way, Your Highness can have this obsession, and you must have a place in the history. Born in the emperor's family, who does not blindly submit to the world?" How about asking for it? It is rare for His Highness to promote Confucianism and benefit the world's students. In time, all the people in the world will be grateful for His Highness's merits, and the descendants of Li and Tang will definitely be proud of His Highness."
Li Tai felt refreshed all over, and felt comforted in his heart.
It's really not easy to be praised by Fang Jun's stick...
But in an instant, His Highness looked sad again, stared at Fang Jun and said: "I am afraid that before this, people in future generations will think of my king's name, and the first impression may start with your song "The Charcoal Seller"... ..."
That poem is really too harsh and overbearing, even now this poem has been widely circulated in all parts of Guanzhong, the name of his Wei Wang Li Tai is almost the representative of the evil royal family of dudes...
Fang Jun was not embarrassed at all, and said indifferently: "Who told Your Highness to be such an idiot at that time? Besides, knowing shame is almost brave. The more widely the "Charcoal Selling Man" is spread, the more people will know about His Highness. The courage to admit mistakes and make amends, the so-called prodigal son will never change his life, this kind of image is more impressive than a good boy, and it is also more vivid and lovely."
Li Tai stared at Fang Jun for a while, then shook his head and smiled wryly.
Arguing with this guy is a bitter gesture. This guy is not only talented, but also has an eloquent mouth. He has never lost a verbal battle...
I had no choice but to change the depressing topic and ask, "What's going on with the Xiao family?"
Ordinarily, the turmoil caused by Le Yanwei a few days ago was inspired by Xiao Yu, and it is already known to everyone in the court. Granting the British Duke Li Ji, rather than taking Xiao Yu a step further by following the custom, conveyed a serious warning.
It is reasonable to say that the Xiao family should have a deeper grudge with Fang Jun, but why did the Xiao family want to make Fang Jun their clan daughter as a concubine?
This change is really too big...
Fang Jun snorted, with a displeased expression on his face: "Where the profit comes from, there is no shame... Xiao Yu thought that impeaching me and stepping down would cause His Majesty to deprive me of the control of the Jiangnan City Shipping Department and even the Royal Navy, and then replace me with someone who is close to them." People went up, but I never thought that Le Yanwei, pretending to be smart, would dare to falsely accuse me. How could Xiao Yu not feel the deep dissatisfaction that His Majesty did not grant Zuo Pushe the official position? More importantly, he I was afraid that I would use the stick to disregard it and severely attack his family's business interests in Jiangnan... When he wanted to frame me, he would frame me unscrupulously. I, Fang Jun, are you a fool? Just wait, if they don’t make the Xiao family howl in pain, they won’t be able to see exactly how many eyes Lord Ma has!”
"Mawangye" is the God of horses, with "Three-eyed Lingyao". This is a folk legend that has existed for a long time, but this is the first time Li Tai has heard this sentence, and he finds it interesting and overjoyed.
Even the Xiao family mourns silently. If they move to Fang Jun, everything will be fine, but now they will naturally have to bear Fang Jun's anger. It is true that the stone did not move, but smashed their own feet...
There was a sound of small footsteps, and then the voice of Princess Jinyang, which was as clear as a silver bell, came to my ears.
"Hey, brother Qingque, brother-in-law, so you are here!"
Princess Jinyang, who was dressed in a light pink skirt and covered with a brocade beige, looked like a cheerful deer. When she passed by the pavilion, she saw the two sitting by the window, and she gave a happy cry, and then ran briskly. When he came to the pavilion, he turned his head and shouted behind him: "Sister, hurry up!"
Sitting at the window, Fang Jun lowered his head slightly, and saw a slender woman walking slowly from the side of the road. The moonlight like water poured on her body, her hair was high in a bun, and her Taoist robe was elegant. The Buddha is coated with a layer of faint brilliance...
The beauty under the moon is a beautiful fairy.
It just so happened that Princess Changle heard Princess Jinyang's voice, and she also raised her head to look up. She was caught off guard, and Yu Fangjun's bright eyes met...
