The crown prince Chengqian was puzzled, but the eldest grandson queen understood that as Hou Junji said, Fang Xuanling is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty today, and he is also the only person who can stabilize the situation in the Tang Dynasty and consolidate the foundation of the crown prince Chengqian.

Empress Changsun wanted to summon Fang Xuanling to come and assist the prince to build it. But she knew in her heart that Fang Xuanling was born in the Qinghe Fang clan in the wealthy family in Shandong, and Fang Xuanling's wife was from the Fanyang Lu family, one of the four wealthy families in Shandong. In the court, Fang Xuanling has a lot of protection for the wealthy family in Shandong, and he is a member of the wealthy family in Shandong.

Empress Changsun fell into contemplation, she was worried that if Fang Xuanling openly assisted the prince and secretly supported the wealthy clan of Shandong, an important minister of the court who 'was in Cao Ying's heart in Han', it would be a big deal, and she would completely kick the Tang prince Chengqian into a situation from which she could never recover. But now you can't do without him, except for Fang Xuanling, no one can control the situation in the entire Tang Dynasty. But if you want to use him, you are afraid that he will not play a good role, but a bad role, so it is better not to use it. Empress Eldest Sun was wondering if there was any way to bring down the resourceful Fang Xuanling, the head of the Tang Dynasty, under the command of her son, Prince Chengqian, and let Fang Xuanling faithfully assist her son, Prince Chengqian.

Suddenly, Empress Changsun saw Hou Junji standing aside, remembered the relationship between Hou Junji and Prince Chengqian, and she suddenly had an idea.

Empress Changsun said to Prince Chengqian: "Prince, I heard that Fang Xiang is sick. Let's go, let's go and have a visit. ”

Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling's mansion.

In the bedroom, Fang Xuanling was lying on the bed, his face was yellow, his face was as withered as a shriveled yellow cabbage leaf, his eyes were weakly closed, his forehead was covered with a wet hand towel, and his breathing was very weak.

Fang Xuanling's second son, Fang Yiai, stood on the side of the bed. Holding the decoction, Xuan Ling is spoonful by spoonful in the feeding room.

Seeing that Empress Changsun and Prince Chengqian had come to visit him, Fang Xuanling opened his eyes with great difficulty, and wanted to get out of bed to salute Empress Changsun and Prince Chengqian, but was persuaded by Empress Changsun and said: "Xuanling, you are an important minister of the Tang Dynasty and a confidant of Your Majesty." Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, you have assisted Your Majesty, and you and our Li family have long been like a family. His Majesty the Tang Emperor, the husband of this palace, has always treated you as an elder in the family, and now you are sick. Your Majesty is not in Chang'an, the palace and the prince should come to visit, and we can't do that set of false courtesy. ”

When Empress Eldest Sun said something, Fang Xuanling's heart was warm, but Fang Xuanling did not force it anymore, but sat on the bed and thanked Empress Eldest Sun and Prince Chengqian: "Thank you Queen Mother, thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for still remembering the old minister." ”

Empress Eldest Sun looked at Fang Xuanling, who was serving the decoction medicine on the side of the bed, and asked Fang Xuanling, "Xuanling, this is your second son's beloved." I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. He's grown so big. He's fifteen years old this year, I don't know if he can get married? ”

Fang Xuanling replied: "Returning to the queen's mother, he is the second son of the minister, and he is not married yet." ”

said. Fang Xuanling asked Fang Yiai to salute the eldest grandson, the queen and the crown prince.

Empress Eldest Sun looked at Fang Xuanling with a smile on her face, and said to Fang Xuanling: "Xuanling." bequeathed this child, he looks really talented, and he has a good demeanor. Gao Yang, the daughter of this palace, is also fourteen years old, which is the same age as the bereaved love. They have all reached the age of marriage. This palace wants to marry Gao Yang Xu to his beloved, Xuan Ling, what do you think? ”

Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly excused herself: "Back to the queen, Princess Gaoyang is Tianhuang (huang) noble, Your Majesty's beloved daughter, how can the minister's dog bereaved love be worthy of Princess Gaoyang?" The queen mother can't help it. ”

Empress Eldest Sun pretended to be displeased and said, "Xuan Ling, why do you still want to refuse?" Do you think that Gao Yang of this palace is not worthy of your family's love? ”

Fang Xuanling hurriedly explained: "Queen Mother, what do you think you are talking about? The minister just thinks that the dog's bereaved love is not worthy of Princess Gaoyang. If Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang is willing to marry my family's beloved, it will be a blessing that my family's beloved has cultivated for several lifetimes. ”

Empress Eldest Sun pursed her lips and smiled, "Xuan Ling, that's good." As long as your family doesn't dislike our Gaoyang, then the matter is settled. When Your Majesty comes back, the palace will personally go to your Majesty to say that you will promote this marriage, let Gao Yang marry your Fang family, and promise to marry your family's widow. ”

Fang Xuanling was grateful and said: "Thank you, the queen, for taking care of my family!" ”

However, Empress Changsun let out a long sigh and said, "Xuan Ling, Your Majesty insisted on going to the grassland and forming an alliance with Tuli, Qibi He Li, and Yi Nan. This is probably a very bad decision. As soon as His Majesty arrived near Mayi, he cut off the news, and there was no news, and Zhang Shigui, the Taishou of Mayi, sent the news to Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, that Mayi was surrounded by 20,000 Turkic troops under the command of the stubborn and powerless force, Li Jing did not dare to make a decision, so he sent the news to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and waited for Cheng Qian to make a decision, but such a major matter, how could he decide as a child? So the palace immediately remembered you, the Tang Dynasty Pillar Stone, the head of the hundred officials, Lord Fang Xuanling. Xuan Ling, now only you can stabilize the situation of my Tang Dynasty, and only you can formulate and implement the right strategy. ”

Hearing that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin was very likely to be besieged by the Turkic army in Mayi, Fang Xuanling sat up straight all of a sudden, and the water-soaked hand towel on his forehead also fell onto the futon, and a cold sweat suddenly appeared on Fang Xuanling's forehead.

His Majesty the Tang Emperor may be trapped in Mayi, which has never happened since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and this is also the biggest crisis that the Tang Dynasty is facing now. His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is like the head of the entire country, and now the head is besieged by the hostile Turks, and the entire body of the Tang Dynasty will be at a loss, and it will be a mess, and the whole situation has been completely controlled by the Tang Emperor Li Shimin. The Turks have made up their minds to fight a decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty in a vain attempt to annex the entire Tang Dynasty.

Fang Xuanling's brows couldn't help frowning tightly, Fang Xuanling's face unconsciously became gloomy, and the whole person looked extremely worried. (To be continued......)
