Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 342
"What did you say? Let me forgive the women and children of the Zheng family in Laiyang?"

His Majesty Li Er sat casually on the soft bed, holding a teacup in his hand, wondering if he had auditory hallucinations.

Is this Fang Jun a fool?

Since Zheng Boling dared to ignore the imperial power and bet on his family to serve as pawns for those powerful families, he should know the consequences of doing so.

If it is done, the Laiyang Zheng family will gain great prestige, as well as support from various powerful families, and become the top family.If he loses, the Zheng family of Laiyang will bear the anger of His Majesty the Emperor and fall into the eternal hell.

High returns are bound to be accompanied by high risks. If you want to gain something, you must pay.

Unfortunately, what the Zheng family of Laiyang pays will be the destruction of the family...

It may seem miserable, but that's politics, and that's the rules.

Zheng Boling's actions have already violated the "Law of Zhenguan", which is a crime of disobedience, which is one level lighter than the crime of conspiracy. The law stipulates that the whole family should sit together. Division, minors sold into slavery.

"This is the stipulation of the law. Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, disobedience has been a crime of continuous sitting. It is the law of the ancestors. Since there is a crime, what's wrong with the whole family's continuous sitting?"

His Majesty Li Er's face was a little gloomy.

He is very optimistic about Fang Jun's talent and ability, but whenever this kid is unconventional and different, he will find it very annoying, because it will always give him problems and make him feel uncomfortable...

Fang Jun's attitude is rare and sincere: "How can the laws of the ancestors be passed on forever? The world changes with time, so it is natural to constantly find new policies that suit the country and establish them, improve and even ban outdated policies in the past. .No matter how powerful the empire is, it should not stick to the rules of the ancestors and stand still. Instead, it should maintain an enterprising heart, keep pace with the times, and forge ahead, so as to stand proudly in the universe forever!"

The world is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Since ancient times, few emperors have been able to maintain enough aggressiveness. No matter how great the emperor is, he will put more energy on stabilizing people's hearts, but he does not think that most of the dangers come from outside.

His Majesty Li Er is one of the rare aggressive kings, but he was inevitably eroded by the Confucian concept of governance after castration.

All the emperors are the same, as long as they can secure the throne and last forever, they are willing to turn all the people into sheep, keep them in the sheepfold, and obediently farm the land and pay taxes.

The irony is that no dynasty can achieve their ideal for thousands of generations...

This is the biggest chronic disease and harm in the feudal era.

Dynastic change is an inevitable historical phenomenon, but with every change of dynasty, it is accompanied by a violent social turmoil, a sharp drop in population, evaporation of wealth, and barren land...

His Majesty Li Er felt that Fang Jun's words were completely unreasonable, at least too much aggressiveness was not a good thing.People all over the world abide by their duties in peace, the emperor is diligent, the ministers are clean, the peasants cultivate the land, and the merchants do business, that is the great harmony of the world.

He was too aggressive, and he wanted to conquer Goguryeo and achieve the reputation of being an emperor through the ages. That's why he collected food, grass, money and things year after year, which increased the burden on the people, and almost gave the aristocratic family an opportunity.

Stability is the most important thing, the best thing is to remain unchanged for 1 years...

So he was a little disdainful of Fang Jun's wifely benevolence, and said displeasedly: "Don't talk about these fallacies and heresies to confuse me, hurry up and prepare for the launch of the Shenji Camp, and wait for the Western Expedition! The matter of the Zheng family in Laiyang is over. It will be discussed and dealt with by the Political Affairs Hall, so don't meddle too much, just take care of your own affairs!"

Fang Jun was silent.

Even though he knew that his actions were superfluous, he still couldn't help but want to give it a try. After all, in his consciousness, His Majesty Li Er was still different from other emperors.

But now, he knew he was wrong.

Emperors are emperors, and they may be different due to their abilities and personalities, but one thing is the same.

They don't care about how to increase productivity, or how the people can live better. They only care about whether their rule can continue...

*********
The light rain fell, and the entire Taiji Palace seemed to be covered with a layer of tulle, which was a little hazy and gloomy.

Fang Jun was in a depressed mood, walking around the palace in a daze.

Until a delicate call woke him up from his trance.

Under the palace wall, there is a cluster of late peaches in full bloom, against which Princess Gaoyang, in her crimson palace attire, dimples like a flower.The palace attire is exquisite, with two ribbons draped on the arms, from the bottom to the top, reaching to the shoulders.A purple jade hairpin is full of blue silk pretty, half on the back of the head, half on the forehead, and the plum blossom steps are swaying all the way, dotted like a phoenix bun.

The slanting rain is like silk, and Princess Gaoyang is standing pretty under an oil-paper umbrella with plum blossoms on a white background. More flavor.

Fang Jun lost his focus again, and had to praise from the bottom of his heart, this stinking girl is really beautiful!
His gaze was too blazing, staring at Princess Gao Yang's pretty face, without any intention of avoiding it, bold and direct.

The two pretty maids held back their smiles with their mouths pursed, their heads slightly lowered. It was rare to see a son-in-law staring at the princess like this. It was really rude.

Princess Gao Yang, who has always been pungent, was also stared at by Fang Jun. She was a little annoyed by Fang Jun's boldness and rudeness, but she was also sweet and very useful...

Fang Jun came back to his senses, and saluted, "My minister, I have seen Your Highness."

Princess Gao Yang bit her lip, glanced at Fang Jun, and said softly: "The expedition is imminent, Erlang must be busy with everything, and I will no longer see you off alone. I just want to tell you a few words, fighting for the country is the highest priority." Glory and military exploits are important, but it is even more important to protect your body. Don't put yourself in a dangerous situation for the sake of a little fame. No matter what, the most important thing is to come back unscathed..."

Princess Gao Yang lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her fair face was slightly flushed.

She wanted to say "there is someone waiting for you at home", but she was so ashamed that she couldn't say it.

It stands to reason that when I return from this expedition, my marriage will be on the agenda...

Fang Jun didn't realize this level, but he also felt Princess Gao Yang's concern, and felt extremely awkward.

The damn timetravel, the damn prophet, made him fall into boundless entanglement.

Seeing that Princess Gao Yang's feelings for him are getting stronger, Fang Jun is more and more at a loss as to what to do.

Whether it is accepted or rejected, it seems inappropriate...

"Oh! Brother-in-law, you are here, and I still want to find you in private..."

A delicate voice sounded behind him, Fang Jun looked back, and indeed Princess Jinyang came running from a distance, shouting happily.

The palace maid behind her ran after her in panic, but the umbrella in her hand could not catch up with Her Royal Highness, she kept calling out anxiously: "Your Highness, slow down, it will be bad if you get wet in the rain..."

Princess Jinyang didn't care about her, she quickly ran in front of Fang Jun, jumped up, and hung on him like a koala...

Princess Jinyang has a weak constitution and developed later. Although she is only seven years younger than Fang Jun, who is thick and strong, she really seems to be a generation behind.

Seeing Princess Jinyang and Fang Jun being so close, the maids were a little amused, but Princess Gaoyang's pretty face turned dark.

The intimacy between this sister-in-law and her brother-in-law is a bit too much. Doesn't this palace exist?

"Brother-in-law, are you going to go to war?"

Princess Jinyang looked at Fang Jun and asked with big bright eyes that were black and white.

"Well, how did Si Zi know?"

Fang Jun wanted to put Princess Jinyang down, but found that she was hugging him vigorously, so he had no choice but to maintain this position, but put his hands behind her hips and gently supported her.

"It was my father who told me! Sons of the Tang Dynasty, you should fight in all directions, be fearless, dare to challenge the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and destroy them all, and make great achievements! Brother-in-law, you must kill the enemies, and stand up! Meritorious service, Sizi will ask Father and Emperor to ask you a big, big official!"

The little princess of Jinyang looked very excited, with the look of a good socialist child...

Fang Jun was amused by her expression, and said solemnly: "I would like to obey His Highness's order! This humble minister must fight the enemy bravely and live up to His Highness's kindness!"

Princess Jinyang nodded her head: "I am very optimistic about you!"

Fang Jun couldn't laugh or cry...

Then, Princess Jinyang let go of one hand, and took a jade pendant tied with a red string from her neck...
