Chapter 51: The Unlucky Fang Xuanling

Fang Xuanling has had a very bad time in the past two days, Fang Xuanling has been calculated by Li Chengqian, and is still in the prison of the Criminal Department, according to Li Shimin's will, he will be sent to Lingnan in a few days.

Fang Xuanling also asked for leave at home to avoid suspicion on the grounds that his godson had no way, but he was embarrassed to be on duty, and he also had the intention of putting pressure on Li Shimin.

However, this time is different from the past, in the past, Fang Xuanling was driven home by Li Shimin if he had any faults, and his wife Lu arranged for his family to serve him well, and complained for him when there was no one.

This time, since he returned home, the Lu family has not given a good face, and the servants of the family have also been sent out, Fang Xuanling, but his wife has responded to the call.

On this day, Fang Xuanling was reading a book in the study, and found that there was no tea, so he said softly: "Come and pour tea." ”

The tea that Fang Xuanling drank was the drinking method of the Tang Dynasty, and it was necessary to crush the tea leaves and boil them with green onions and ginger before drinking, and such a complex cooking method must be served by someone.

Fang Xuanling stared at the book with both eyes, and when he heard someone come in and pour tea, he subconsciously picked it up, and when he drank it, he felt that the taste was wrong, and he looked down and saw that there was white water in the cup.

"What......" Fang Xuanling was about to get angry, and when he looked up and saw his one-eyed wife, Lu Shi, looking at him with hatred, he swallowed the following words.

Fang Xuanling's wife Lu was born in Fanyang Lu, she is a fierce woman, the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Fang Xuanling wanted to go out to be an official and told his wife: If there is chaos today, I went out today, and I don't know when I can come back or if I can come back. If you have a good place to go, you don't have to wait for me to decide for yourself.

Lu Shi was furious when he heard this, turned around and took out a pair of scissors, and stabbed himself blind in one eye on the spot. said to Fang Xuanling: You don't have anything to worry about this time, I will definitely wait for you to come back!

The parting between Fang Xuanling and his wife is even more different from the ordinary parting. It should have left a deep memory for Fang Xuanling's future life, so that he always felt three points shorter when he saw his wife in the future.

Because Lu Shi only had one eye, she usually looked hideous, and at this time, she looked at Fang Xuanling with hatred, and Fang Xuanling was so frightened that she didn't dare to look at her.

hurriedly turned his head to the side, but comforted her in his mouth: "Madame, rest assured, Erlang will be fine, he is His Majesty's son-in-law, Your Majesty will take care of it." ”

"Your Majesty?" Lu obviously didn't believe Fang Xuanling's words.

Fang Xuanling knew in his heart that Li Shimin would not really love Fang Xuanling. Li Tai's affairs were all connived at by Li Shimin, and if it weren't for Wei Zheng's desperate advice this time, no matter how ingenious the prince's design was, it would be useless.

But he was cautious by nature and didn't dare to explain the reason to his wife at home, just a sentence that Erlang would be fine.

"Now that Li Tai has been demoted to the king of Donglai County, Your Majesty will tear your face for your cheekiness and Donggong?" Lu hated the authentic.

Fang Xuanling was not 100% sure when he heard this, he just sighed and didn't speak.

Lu Shi was even more angry when he saw that he had no idea, and said angrily: "I asked you when Erlang Chu befriended Li Tai that day, and you said that it was okay to just let him befriend; When Li Tai obviously had the intention of seizing the heir, I asked if I wanted to prohibit Erlang from associating with him, and you said that they would go if they had nothing to do.

Now Li Tai has been demoted from the king of Wei to the king of Donglai County, and he will be driven out of Chang'an City in the next year, and Erlang will also be exiled to Lingnan by him.

You still say it's okay, what kind of calculation are you making?" The more Lu Shi spoke, the more angry he became, and finally turned into a loud question.

Fang Xuanling opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he sighed and didn't say anything.

"I'm a miserable child!" Lu thought that Fang Xuanling had no choice, and she had always been strong, and she couldn't hold back her tears.

Fang Xuanling hurriedly turned around and persuaded her: "Madame, don't worry, even if Your Majesty doesn't look at my face, he will always look at Princess Gaoyang's face." ”

Fang Xuanling didn't raise Princess Yang's luck, and when she mentioned Princess Gaoyang, the Lu family directly became sad, shouting about her hard life......

The Lu family usually thinks that Princess Gaoyang bullied Fang Yiai, and there are some bad rumors, but because of the identities of both parties, she can't say anything.

This time, Fang Yiai has been arrested for a few days, and I heard that Princess Chengyang has begged to go to the East Palace, and Princess Gaoyang has not even gone to see Li Shimin, and the Lu family feels more and more that his son's life is miserable.

Fang Xuanling didn't know the inside story, and the Lu family couldn't say it clearly, just when he was crying and turning around urgently, he suddenly heard someone outside the room shouting: "Xiangye, Mrs., His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to send a piece of writing." ”

Lu Shi heard the grief, wiped away his tears, turned around and sat inside, Fang Xuanling opened the door and saw the housekeeper holding a scroll of text sheets, standing at the door of the study courtyard and looking in.

Fang Xuanling didn't let him enter the hospital, walked over directly, took the text and walked back to the study.

Fang Xuanling walked into the study, and Lu Shi had already stood up and saw him come in, with a concerned look on his face, looking at the text panel in his hand.

Fang Xuanling also wanted to know what was written on this page, so he opened it directly in his hand.

As soon as the text panel was opened, a piece of letterhead fell out of it, Fang Xuanling bent down to pick it up, and saw that it read:

Hearing that Fang Xianggong's mother is still alive, it is really the envy of the lonely king's motherless child, Fang Xianggong's mother is old and serves on the side every day, and there is no sigh of 'the son wants to raise but does not wait'.

Fang Xuanling was a little puzzled when he saw it, and said secretly: Is the prince asking me to resign from the phase and serve my mother? sneered in his heart, it was really a lack of people's hearts.

"What a poem, it's really unbearable to read." Lu Shi sighed with the text panel.

When Fang Xuanling saw it in Lu's hand, he also sighed in his heart, only to see that it was written:

The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt. Before leaving, I am afraid that I will return late. Whoever says an inch is careless, and he will be rewarded with three springs.

Although the poem is a good poem, it is impossible to impress an old fritter in officialdom like Fang Xuanling. However, Fang Xuanling thought that he hadn't seen his mother for a few days, and immediately said to Lu's: "I'll go to the backyard to see my mother, you don't have to worry about Erlang's affairs, it will be fine in a few days." ”

Saying that, he went to the backyard, and Fang Xuanling spent most of the next two days in the backyard with his wife, so that he could enjoy the joy of family, and the other was that the Lu family did not dare to leave his love in front of his mother-in-law, and Fang Xuanling also felt quiet.

It was only early in the morning of the third day that someone came to report that a pile of filth and a wooden sign had been piled up in front of the gate, which read: Disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and injustice Fang Xuanling.

The housekeeper has already sent someone to find Fang Zheng and the right envoy to patrol the street, Fang Xuanling came to the gate angrily, the feces at the door have been cleaned up, but there is still a smell that has not dissipated.

I saw a large young man standing proudly in front of the door of the house, while Fang Zheng of the Kaihua Workshop knelt on the ground in fright and trembled.

Seeing him come out, the young man saluted him neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Ren Yaxiang, the right envoy patrolling the street, has seen Fang Xianggong!" But Fang Zheng didn't say a word.

Fang Xuanling took two steps forward and said expressionlessly: "Why was the old man poured filth in front of the door?"

"You don't know?" Ren Yaxiang asked with a surprised expression.

Fang Xuanling was speechless.

"Patrolling the streets is your business of patrolling the streets, how can our Xiangye know?" The housekeeper asked angrily.

"Isn't this filth poured in front of your house?" Ren Yaxiang's face was as natural as a matter of course.

"You!" The housekeeper was completely furious.

"Oh, I see, this must have been done by the righteous people!" Ren Yaxiang had a suddenly realized expression.

Fang Xuanling saw that Ren Yaxiang was deliberately entertaining him, and couldn't help but say angrily: "How can the person who dumps filth in front of the old man's door become a righteous citizen?"

"Because you are a famous traitor in Chang'an City, there are righteous people who can't look past it and pour filth in front of your house." Ren Yaxiang said it as a matter of course.

Fang Xuanling can see that this Ren Yaxiang came today to be angry with himself. Waving his hand and gritting his teeth, he said, "Since that's the case, I won't work to patrol the streets." ”

"Farewell." Ren Yaxiang turned around and left.

"Xiangye, he ......" the housekeeper said unwillingly.

"It's all gone." Fang Xuanling turned around and walked towards the courtyard as he spoke, and the housekeeper hurriedly followed.

"Send someone to check first, are there any rumors in Chang'an City?" The butler replied and withdrew to inquire.

The housekeeper came back before noon, and Fang Xuanling sat behind the bookcase, looking at the housekeeper who wanted to speak and stopped.

Then he said lightly: "Say whatever you want?"

"Yes, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince set up a stage to sing "Renshou Palace" in the East and West Cities, the people of Chang'an City have hated the abolition of the heirs.

It was also rumored that King Wei wanted to murder the prince and had been demoted, and several ministers of King Wei and his party were scolded by the people, including the second son of our family.

The most ferocious thing in the past two days is you, Xiangye, saying that you say you ......"

"Straight to say" Fang Xuanling already roughly knew what was going on, but he really couldn't figure out what the people of Chang'an City could scold him.

"Yes, it is said that Xiangye, if you don't hold it in danger, and if you don't help it, you will use it for the other?"

He also said that when Empress Changsun was dying, she repeatedly promoted you to His Majesty, so that you were the teacher of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusted you the most.

But not only did you not protect His Royal Highness the Prince, but you also let the second son participate in the matter of the king of Donglai County to seize the heir. The people of Chang'an say that you are the first rat at both ends, the evil of the king, is the disaster of the country and the people, if the eldest grandson queen knows, he will hate the non-person he entrusts.

And ......"

"Say no more!" Fang Xuanling knew that he had only one way to resign.

--------------------

So Li Shimin's case received three letters of Fang Xuanling's resignation in the previous day, one more earnest than the other, and one more resolute than the other.

Li Shimin looked inexplicable, and thought, you have only been closed for a few days, and you are making a fuss?

I just want to forgive Fang Bereavement, so I have to find a better reason, right?

When the face of the crown prince is so worthless in your eyes?
