Chapter 161: Fang Xuanling returns to his hometown
Fang Xuanling's face was not very good, he pointed at Fang Yiai and said a little angrily, "Jun'er, you are really too reckless this time, you know, if it weren't for Your Majesty's kindness, you would have been drowned by the saliva of the imperial historians at this moment." ”
"Father, children can't either!" Fang Yiai smiled bitterly.
"Bang!" With a bang, Fang Xuanling slapped the table, stood up and said angrily, "You can't? I don't think you have thought about it, why don't you discuss such an important matter with your father, do you know how your mother has come here since you were imprisoned, how many times she has been clamoring to go to see you in prison. Jun'er, I don't know what you think, but can you think about your mother when you do things in the future, she can't stand your toss a few times! ”
Listening to Fang Xuanling's reprimand, the guilt in Fang Xuanling's love became deeper and deeper, just in the past few days, Lu Shi actually fell ill, and when he returned home, Fang Yiai knew how much damage he had done to Lu. In the eyes of Fang Yiai, Lu has always been a strong woman, but in the end she fell ill in bed because of her unfilial son.
"Father, the child wants to accompany his mother!"
Fang Xuanling nodded, and waved his hand a little tiredly, "Go ahead!" ”
Fang Yiai sat on the couch, holding Lu's warm hand, and he said with some shame, "Mother, the child is wrong, you shouldn't be so worried." ”
"Jun'er, you don't have to be like this, your mother just suffered a little bit of cold, it's nothing serious" Lu Shi leaned on the couch, looked at his son and said a little doting, "Jun'er, but you are really wrong this time, you really should let Weiniang know about this kind of thing." ”
"Mother, but I want to take it on my own!" Fang Yiai said, he really thinks so, it is better for him to bear this kind of thing when he has an affair with the princess, and it will be his own sin if he is involved with the rest of the house.
"Silly child" Lu Shi patted Fang's beloved hand gently, and said with both pity and blame, "Do you think you can do this, you are the second son of Fangfu, and when such a thing happens, the first thing others look for is your father!" ”
Fang Xuanling was a little confused, as if he was verifying what Lu said, and the next day there was a big wave at the court meeting, Fang Xuanling seemed to have expected the current scene, but he would never have thought that the first person to stand up and join him was Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng came out of the column and shouted to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, Fang Yiai has done such a degrading thing to the royal dignity, and the left servant has an unshirkable responsibility for shooting Fang Xuanling, so the minister implores His Majesty to punish Fang Xuanling, so as not to let the people laugh at my court!" ”
Li Shimin nodded a little displeased, how could it be this Wei Zheng again.
With Wei Zheng taking the lead, those imperial historians are even more fearless, quoting scriptures one by one to make sense, and they have the momentum of not giving up if they don't punish Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling seems to be a nobody, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape this level, Fang Xuanling has to give an explanation to the people of the world when he does such a thing.
Just when the imperial historians were talking about foaming at the mouth, they heard an impatient roar, "Okay, shut up Lao Cheng, what are you talking about one by one, you don't crusade against Fang Jun, what kind of spit at Xuan Linggong, I really don't know what to say." ”
Everyone was shocked by this roar, and the imperial historians looked at this Cheng goblin who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and they were really a little afraid.
"Cheng Zhijie, what are you doing at this time, roaring in front of the palace, what kind of system has it become?" Wei Zheng pointed at Cheng Yanjin and said angrily.
"I said Wei Xuancheng, my old Cheng didn't roar, but his voice was a little loud, don't you say?" Cheng Yanjin raised his eyebrows and looked at the other imperial historians, who shook their heads one by one when they saw Cheng Yanjin's hateful smiling face. Just kidding, if you dare to say anything, this old goblin won't give you little shoes to wear.
Seeing this situation, Wei Zheng also seemed very untempered, these imperial historians can be said that sometimes they are not even afraid of His Majesty, but they are afraid of this old monster to death, to put it bluntly, Cheng Biting Jin is too shameless, and sometimes he actually wants to play martial arts with the imperial history, isn't this obviously shameless. As far as the imperial historians are weak, even if ten people go together, they may not be able to bite the gold in the process.
"Hmph, Piff, the old man is too lazy to bother with you, in short, Fang Jun does such a thing, Xuan Ling has an unshirkable responsibility!"
As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Cheng Yanjin put on a confused look, "I said Wei Xuancheng, what did you say, what did Fang Jun do?" ”
At this time, Wei Zhengqi's beard trembled, and even Li Shimin, who was sitting at a loss, was confused by Cheng Yanjin's words, what is this old thing messing with?
"Cheng Zhijie, what do you mean by this, Princess Changle's matter, will you know?"
"You said those rumors, Lao Cheng doesn't believe these things, I can tell you, those rumors are absolutely false!" Cheng Biting Jin said in a chiseled manner, not like a joke at all.
Even Li Ji couldn't stand it anymore, he tugged Cheng Biting Jin's sleeve and reminded in a low voice, "Zhijie, Hugh is talking nonsense!" ”
Li Shimin was really a little confused by Cheng Yanjin, so he had to ask, "Zhijie, why do you have to say that those rumors are false, and the matter of Fang Jun and Changle is still false?" ”
Cheng Yanjin seemed to have been waiting for Li Shimin to ask a question, and he couldn't wait to open his mouth and say, "Your Majesty, this is not Lao Cheng's nonsense, Fang Jun's kid has a marriage contract with my family Ling'er, how can he have anything to do with Changle again!" ”
"Buzz!" With a bang, Li Shimin felt that something in his head exploded, if there was a sword, he really wanted to stab Cheng Yanjin to death on the Xuanzheng Hall with a sword. When Cheng Yanjin said these words, Li Shimin knew that he had been fooled, and he was taking the opportunity to tell others that Fang Jun could not marry Changle.
"Directly, don't stop talking, when did Jun'er and Ling'er have a marriage contract?" Qin Qiong was also angry with Cheng Biting Jin's rogue behavior, how could this guy dare to say anything.
"Second brother, I didn't talk nonsense, I don't believe you!" Cheng Yanjin took out a birthday eight characters from his body as he spoke, and said vigorously, "Everyone, this is Fang Jun's birthday eight characters, I said that he and Ling'er have a marriage contract, so can it be fake?" ”
Li Shimin didn't want to read it, just that birthday eight percent was written casually by this old man, but so what, as long as this old man was cheeky and insisted that this birthday eight characters were given to him by Fang Xuanling and his wife, what other good way could others do.
Let Cheng bite Jin's fuss, the Xuanzheng Hall is completely chaotic, at this time it doesn't seem like a court meeting, but like discussing some gossip news.
At the end of the court meeting, Fang Xuanling did not escape in the end, and Li Shimin's order to him was that his godson was not strict and insulting to the system, and he was let go back to his hometown for two months to reflect.
Out of the Xuanzheng Palace, Fang Xuanling could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and grabbed Cheng Biting Jin is complaining, "Zhijie, you tell the old man, when did Jun'er have a marriage contract with your family Ling'er, why didn't the old man know?" ”
"Eh, Xuan Ling Gong, this old Cheng only learned about it yesterday, it turns out that Fang Jun, this kid, swore to the moon a year ago that he would marry my Ling'er!" Cheng Yanjin said with a righteous face.
The people around listened to Cheng Yanjin's words, and they all laughed angrily, and swore to Yue, this old man really said it.
In the face of such a brazen Cheng Biting Jin, Fang Xuanling had no choice but to let Cheng Biting Jin go to Jin Wuwei. Du Ruhui stood beside Fang Xuanling and comforted, "Xuanling, this time you are relaxed, go back to your hometown for two months to reflect, is this punishing you or rewarding you?" ”
"Hehe, it should be a punishment!" Fang Xuanling smiled tacitly, he thanked Li Shimin for his magnanimity in his heart, although he clearly saw that letting him go back to his hometown was a demotion to an official, but in fact, it was Li Shimin who wanted him to go home to recuperate. Fang Xuanling was indeed very tired during this time, the matter of Tubo, coupled with the snow disaster in Youzhou, had already overwhelmed his body, he must be older, and his energy was not as good as before.
Princess Changle Mansion, by the pond, Fang Yiai and Changle sat face to face at the stone table, both of them with a crying and laughing expression.
"This old thing, it's really killing people!"
"Second son, why be angry, Grandpa Cheng has always been like this, just listen to it!" Changle didn't believe Cheng Yanjin's words, Changle knew about Cheng Ling'er and Fang Yiai's gambling contract, and as for the marriage contract, it was purely Cheng Yanjin's nonsense.
"Yes, the second son, just Grandpa Cheng, it's so shameless, you dare to tell such a lie in the Xuanzheng Palace!" The thrush pouted and was also unhappy for Fang Yiai.
"Thrush, you girl is too talkative, can you arrange Grandpa Cheng, be careful to let Grandpa Cheng know, even if I can't protect you then!" Changle smiled and threatened the thrush.
"Miss, don't scare the thrush, how can Grandpa Cheng worry about my little girl?"
"You, you just talk a lot!" Changle thought about it and asked Fang Yiai, "Second son, when will Xuan Ling Gong leave?" ”
"Later, this time your father asked him to go home to reflect, it's better to leave early, otherwise those imperial historians will find an excuse to join him!" Fang Yiai was also very helpless about this, but he didn't expect that in the end, it would be such a result.
"When the time comes, I'll send Xuan Ling Gong!" Changle said naturally.
"You're going? Is that good? ”
"Why not? Second son, you must know that Xuan Ling Gong is suffering for us, so why don't I send him, anyway, now that the entire Chang'an City knows about our relationship, why hide it? ”
"But, your uncle's side!"
"Uncle? Hey, this day is always coming! Changle smiled and shook his head, since he is no longer the daughter-in-law of the eldest grandson's family, he will one day come to this point. Changle knows the contradiction between the eldest grandson's family and the Fang family, but Changle doesn't want to mix these things, she just wants to send Fang Xuanling as a junior, and she doesn't want to think about the rest.
Outside the east gate of Chang'an City, several carriages slowly drove out of the city gate, Fang Xuanling and the other carriages stopped, looking at Changle beside Fang Yiai with some surprise, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Old minister Fang Qiao, I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
"Excuse me, Xuan Ling Gong must not be like this, you are the father of the second son, and you are the elder of Changle, how can you make this great gift to Changle again!" Changle smiled very softly, not like a proud princess at all, she saluted Fang Xuanling and said, "Xuanling Gong, this is going to Qingzhou, I have worked hard all the way, please take care!" ”
"Princess Xie is worried, and the minister is grateful!" Fang Xuanling admired Princess Changle at this time, she was worthy of being the eldest daughter of His Majesty, and she was full of the kind of informed reasoning of the eldest grandson.
"Jun'er, after your mother and I leave Chang'an, you have to discuss the affairs of the house with your eldest brother more, and you must not mess around. If you can't make a decision, you can go to your Uncle Du! ”
"Well, the child knows, father get into the carriage, it's not too early!" Fang Yiai helped Fang Xuanling into the carriage, comforted Lu Shi a few words, and the whole convoy headed east, as for the safety issue, Fang Yiai was not too worried, with Tie Jing and those people guarding, there should be no problems.
