Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 689 The Way Is Different

An old man who was over seventy years old was wearing a feather-white sackcloth, the white clothes were better than the snow, and he had white hair and a childlike face.He was tall and thin, with a bit of fairy charm. He stood in front of the building with his hands behind his back, and Prince Li Chengqian stood aside, listening to the teachings.

Fang Jun squinted his eyes, took two steps forward, and saluted: "Fang Jun, pay homage to Mr. Baiyao."

Only Li Baiyao, who is well-known all over the world, has profound experience, and is the right concubine of the prince, can let the prince Li Chengqian stand aside, act like a disciple, respectfully, and listen to the teachings.

Li Baiyao has a slender face, high cheekbones, and looks very stern, but at this time, he nodded with a smile: "There is a saying in Chang'an nowadays, which is 'giving birth to a child is like a family's legacy'. Xuanling is so lucky, I am really envious." Sha old man!"

Fang Jun hurriedly said politely: "Mr. Baiyao, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. This sentence is not a good thing. It's just the people in Guanzhong satirizing the younger generation. 'Birth is like a wife's love'. The whole world knows that there is such a stick son……"

Li Baiyao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud, shaking his white beard.

When the laughter stopped, Li Baiyao said softly: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. Although Fang Erlang is open-minded and unrestrained, he does not lose money in big things. Everything he does is for the benefit of the country and the people. What he thinks and does is done with all his heart." It is the way to prosperity for thousands of years, as long as you stick to your heart, you will be a famous official and good minister who will shine through the history in the future, work hard, kid."

These words of praise came from Li Baiyao's mouth, which made Fang Jun a little panicked.This person's status may not be very high, but his qualifications are too old, his reputation is too good, and his character is well-known.

It is no exaggeration to say that such a sentence can double Fang Jun's worth!

Fang Jun bowed and said, "This junior is terrified..."

"Hehe, modesty is not the same as hypocrisy. If you dare to argue with that old stubborn ass Wei Zheng in the lobby, not only call him by name, but even dare to speak evil words to threaten his family. Looking at how many people in Tang Dynasty have the courage ? The old man just praised you and you panicked, who are you lying to?"

Li Baiyao smiled teasingly.

Fang Jun was a little embarrassed...

I didn't expect that after a moment of anger and arguing with Wei Zheng, everyone would know about it so quickly. It's true that good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles away.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Since the teacher is cultivating in the temple, why don't you sit together and let our students listen to the teachings?"

Li Baiyao waved his hands helplessly: "Forget it, they are all young people in their prime, who would be patient with the noise of an old man? It's just to see the prince come here to say hello, and you can drink for fun , for Fang Erlang to practice, the old man will not get involved."

After saying that, he cupped his hands at Li Chengqian, and walked away lightly under the service of two servants.

Fang Jun looked at Li Baiyao's back, and sighed in admiration: "In his seventies and eighties, his body is still so strong and well maintained. I heard that Mr. Li took a 16-year-old concubine last winter?"

"Nonsense!" Li Chengqian kicked Fang Jun angrily, "Master Li is upright and morally flawless, how could he do such a nasty thing? It's just the people in Guanzhong spreading rumors, don't slander Master Li!"

Fang Jun brushed the place where Li Chengqian kicked him, curled his lips and said, "Your Highness, don't you have a lot of free time? Do you have a practical banquet for no reason? Is this humble minister the kind of frivolous person who is greedy for fame? How about such a big fanfare?" Let the humble minister leave quietly, and the honor will not be surprised!"

A loud laugh came from inside the building: "Fang Erlang's trip to the south has long been in Guanzhong, and the south of the Yangtze River is in turmoil. Why are you talking about leaving quietly? Since it is already attracting the attention of the world, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will practice it with wine, and there will be more in history in the future." Isn’t it beautiful to have a good story, revealing the master’s good looks and complementing each other?”

"Who is this, dare to speak like that after eating a leopard?" Fang Jun was taken aback.

His Majesty Li Er is in the prime of his life, you dare to say that Li Chengqian and Fang Jun are good looks, and no one cares about your death, but you can't drag us down!

Li Chengqian said with a helpless smile: "Everyone in the old Pei family is different, and there is no one who follows the rules and is honest! Others may be treasonous if they say this, and the official censor will definitely impeach him, but if Pei Xuanji said this, no People take it seriously."

Between words, the two entered the building side by side.

At this time, it was probably too early for Prince Li Chengqian to hold a banquet, and there were only three or five people sitting on the mats in the building.

Seeing Fang Jun coming in with the prince, they all stood up and said politely, "Erlang."

They are usually common, such as Yu Shinan's son Yu Chang, Feng Deyi's son Feng Yandao, Chen Xuande's son Chen Shuda's younger brother, and Pei Xuanji, the son of "Eternal Mistress" Pei Ju.

The person who spoke just now was Pei Xuanji.

Pei Xuanji was not famous in history, and Fang Jun didn't pay much attention to it, but when it comes to his father, Pei Ju, he is very famous.

Why is it called "Eternal Michen"?

Because Pei Ju is really the "mystery of the ages"...

In history, there are countless loyal ministers and treacherous ministers.Loyal ministers will live forever and be admired by later generations, while treacherous ministers will be reviled for thousands of years.

But in the vast river of history, there is such a person who makes you not argue about loyalty and traitor...

The same person, at different times, under different circumstances, and in the hands of different kings, can play different roles—in the hands of a faint king, he is a courtier, but in the hands of a wise king, he is a good minister.

In the history of the end of Sui Dynasty and the beginning of Tang Dynasty, there was such a peculiar character, who was both literary and capable; he wrote "Illustrations of the Western Regions" with beautiful words, describing the mountains, rivers, landforms, customs and customs of the 44 countries in the Western Regions at that time. The sentiments of the people are recorded in great detail and are very readable.He served Yang Sui, Yu Wenhuaji, Dou Jiande, and Li Tang for more than [-] years. He was "[-] years old, shrewd and never forgetting".

What's even more peculiar is that he first flattered and flattered Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and made many bad ideas that harmed the country and the people. He was a big sycophant; .

This person is Pei Ju.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a wonderful work through the ages. This person is like a mystery. No one can understand what kind of person he is, what he is thinking, let alone what he will do next...

Everyone sat down according to the table, and after a while, the guests came one after another, but many Fang Jun didn't know each other. It seemed that they had recently joined the Prince's command and took the opportunity to get close. Li Chengqian also had his team The meaning of a small gathering.

These people are now in and out of officialdom, and their reputations are not obvious, but in time, they must be important members of the empire.

The building became lively.

Pei Xuanji was obviously very active. He toasted Fang Jun with a glass of wine, and asked, "Erlang is a genius, and if he sells a mere Quchifang for a sky-high price, in time, he will be rich like an enemy, and the gold and silver treasures that can't be spent are endless. Wealth and wealth, why go to the south of the Yangtze River to wade through the muddy waters?"

Feng Yandao was a short, fat, fair-faced boy, and he also said after hearing the words: "The gentry in Jiangnan have already said that when Erlang arrives in Jiangnan, it will definitely make it difficult for you to move forward. Erlang's future trip is bleak."

Shortly before Fang Jun got married, Feng Yandao was engaged to Li Chengxia, the No. 12 daughter of Emperor Gaozu's No. [-] eldest daughter of Huainan, and was granted the title of Consort Duwei and Tongshisheren.

All of a sudden, everyone in the building was chattering, not optimistic about Fang Jun going south.

Chen Xuande even said bluntly: "Jiangnan is controlled by the gentry, whether it is the gentry with the surname of overseas Chinese in the south, or the gentry with the surname of Wu who lives in Jiangdong, they are extremely xenophobic and have always regarded Jiangnan as a taboo. .Although the current situation cannot stop Erlang from going south, but this group of people is deeply rooted and flourishing. Erlang is afraid that he will be unable to move an inch. Erlang is in his prime, so why not go to Jiangnan and get stuck in the mud, why not stay in Chang'an and seek a stable life The position, step by step, will one day be ranked in the center."

To be honest, Chen Xuande really had good intentions.

As the post-Chen royal family, no one knew better than him how powerful those Jiangnan gentry were.

Perhaps the fall of the later Chen made the Chen family lose their aggressiveness, or the situation forced them to hide their strengths and bide their time.In short, Chen Xuande is not optimistic about Fang Jun's going south this time.

In fact, there is a deeper meaning, why doesn't it mean that Fang Jun "only knows about meritorious deeds but is not self-sufficient"?You just stay in Chang'an honestly, relying on the two big trees of Fang Xuanling and Your Majesty, and slowly earn your qualifications...
