In the case of Feng Yuanjun's death, Xue Chongxun was indeed riddled with all kinds of troubles, but they were all minor troubles, and he couldn't resist his life just because he killed Feng Yuanjun. There are so many people in the court who are Princess Taiping, and this thing can't be done? Whether it is to talk to you about national law or morality, they always have something to say, and they are all people who have read classics and poetry books, and there are many truths. Whoever is justified is the key to whose power is greater. The same is true in ancient and modern times, maybe in another era, there will be no one like Li Shouyi at all, because Confucian righteousness has become the old dross.

"Raw, I do what I want; Righteousness is also what I want, and I can't have both...... Xue Chongxun began to read this passage of Mencius again, this text that children are reading, the meaning is simple and famous, and it has long been familiar with his heart. But every time I read it, I have different feelings.

He has a modern soul in him, which brings him not only benefits, but also a soul without faith, a soul that seems a little empty. As for the knowledge in memory, make guns, make artillery, build warships and aircraft carriers? Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, can he build it on his own? Can you mix gunpowder as military gunpowder? Besides, the Tang Dynasty already had gunpowder used in the military.

……

The criminal case is not a big deal, what really makes Xue Chongxun difficult to let go is the competition between Princess Taiping and Li Longji. I don't know if my mother can make up her mind and agree with him. In Xue Chongxun's view, trying his best to kill Li Longji by any means is the only way to survive.

And Xue Chongxun's own wings are still early from fullness, not something that can be developed in a year and a half, and the person who really has the strength to deal with the crown prince Li Longji is only qualified by Princess Taiping. Therefore, the mother's decision is crucial.

This feeling is like the cotton in the sandbag when you practice sandbag, and it is really energetic and nowhere to go.

This morning he went to Daming Palace to attend a court meeting every other day, and came back after worshipping the emperor, and he didn't even go to Taichang Temple. The yamen was not a matter of importance at all in extraordinary times, and Xue Chongxun was in no mood to take care of the affairs inside. When he came back in the morning, he stayed alone in the room, either reading or sitting and meditating.

He thought about it and sorted out his thoughts several times, but there was still only that way, and there was no other way...... The mother's problem is how to successfully get rid of the crown prince, and Xue Chongxun's problem is how to make the mother make up her mind to make a desperate bet.

Outside the door, the birds chirped non-stop, the rain had stopped a few days ago, and now the sun was shining, and it was really a bird's song and a fragrance of flowers. Xue Chongxun looked at the sunshine outside the door, and a temporary thought popped up, wanting to go out for a walk. He put down the books in his hand, changed into boots, shirts, whips, and hats, and went out to call someone to call Pang Erbei for the carriage.

He took a few entourages and drove out of the mansion, and Pang Er asked, "Where is Lang Jun going?" ”

Xue Chongxun thought about it, and suddenly remembered the courtesan he met in Daqin Temple that day, whose name ...... There was a hazy light rain that day, and it was light rain. So he said, "Between the clouds and water." ”

Pang Er answered, and didn't say much, obviously going to the water and clouds was naturally for fun. It is not surprising that scholars and doctors come and go in such places, and the government also uses the state treasury to raise many courtesans, and of course, when changing tastes, everyone often goes to the folk green house, and the foreign women in the orchid wine shop are also very popular.

The carriage walked west along the north street, and after passing a torii archway, it was a street that stretched north and south. The further north you go along this street, the more lively it becomes, because the north street is the fang gate of Anyi Fang, and you can see the East Market when you go out from the fang gate. The East Market is filled with merchants and goods from all over the country and even from all over the world, and the daily trading volume is immeasurable, so the closer to the market, the denser the population becomes, and the more various business opportunities are hidden.

The streets of Chang'an City are really lively, you can see anything new, there are even camels, and you almost don't see elephants. It is not uncommon for Hu people to dress strangely and look abstract, but in fact, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of foreigners in Chang'an City, including foreign envoys, merchants, and people who come to learn about the rules and regulations...... Muhammad, the founder of Islam, said that knowledge should be sought even if it is far away in China.

The Tang Empire, when the whole world at the beginning of the eighth century was struggling in the dark age of civilization, she was the beacon of civilization, the center of the world, and the golden country that all mankind yearned for. Since Taizong, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the Tian Khan, and at the same time ordered countless surrounding countries, if the Tang Emperor wants to conquer the injustice, the armies of all countries in the Tian Khan alliance system must obey the levy, and the influence of the Beiting Protectorate is as far as the Caspian Sea, and even to Eastern Rome; On the heads of many foreign kings, at the same time, hung the official titles of the Tang Dynasty emperors. Confucianism said that "the whole world is not the king's land", and the Tang Dynasty realized the ideal as much as possible.

…… A green building in Anyi Fang is open near the East Market, the land of fireworks, and it is very prosperous. When Xue Chongxun came to the door of Shuiyunjian, he saw that a stage was being set up at the door of the building to play a military play. Many passers-by, men and women, young and old, stopped in front of the Qinglou to watch, and the crowd was crowded.

There were two people on the wooden platform, one of whom wore a hat and wore green clothes, called Join the Army, this person was stupid, stupid, and looked dull as if he had been teased; The other one was dressed in a white robe, combed with a falcon, and had sharp teeth, laughing and scolding at "joining the army", which was very lively. The white-robed man also held a "knock melon" in his hand, a kind of hammer wrapped in a strip of cloth, specially used to hit the head, the sound was loud but not painful, he took this knock melon to hit the head of the army from time to time, but the beaten soldier stood stupidly and cried neither angry nor embarrassed, which made everyone laugh again.

When Xue Chongxun saw the military play, he couldn't help but smile, thinking of Pang Er and Jixiang, the two slaves in the house, isn't it the same as the military play?

People are always affected by the environment, the cheerful environment made Xue Chongxun more cheerful, and when he looked back and saw Fang Yuzhong, who always had a square face, by his side, Xue Chongxun casually made a joke: "What kind of woman do you like?" ”

Fang Yuzhong: "Huh? With a sigh, he raised his head and saw Xue Chongxun looking at him, and after coming back to his senses, his face turned red, and he couldn't say why. But the sharp-toothed auspicious grabbed the conversation and said: "Lang Jun, I like women with a lot of meat, and those who are too thin want to be awkward." ”

"Haha......" The guards immediately burst out laughing.

Jixiang is grandstanding, and he was laughed at and found the storage zài, and his voice was also a little louder: "There is a lot of meat, a lot of water, and there is a lot of commotion, hehehe!" ”

Xue Chongxun was also amused, and he was in a good mood, so he said: "If you want to play, go in and choose by yourself, and ask the bustard to settle the bill and find me to settle the bill for a while." ”

Several people immediately ran in happily, but seeing that Fang Yuzhong was standing still, Xue Chongxun smiled and said, "Man, what's so embarrassing?" Don't miss a lap on your thigh and regret it. ”

Fang Yuzhong bowed his head and said, "Lang Jun's safety is the most important, I'll forget it." ”

"I'm such a big person, it's not far from the front of the house, there's nothing to worry about, if you want to go, hurry up." Xue Chongxun said.

Fang Yuzhong didn't go, Xue Chongxun was not reluctant, and said half-jokingly: "Your time in Xue Mansion is only a few years less than Pang Er, Pang Er has married a daughter-in-law, I can't treat you badly, you think about it first, what you like, I'll make the decision for you." ”

Fang Yuzhong blushed and said, "I'...... I'll think about it first. ”

At this time, Xue Chongxun thought evilly: This man can't still be a virgin, right?

Entering the building, the bustard, which had already grown crow's feet, greeted him, and Xue Chongxun said casually: "What do you call you?" ”

"Ouch, Lang Jun is here for the first time? If you can afford me, just call me Sister Du. Sister Du shook the silk handkerchief in her hand, her movements were exaggerated, and she said with a rich expression, "People are not romantic teenagers, Lang Jun has to seize the good time." ”

Xue Chongxun was wearing ordinary clothes, and ordinary civilians didn't know him, which saved a lot of trouble. He clenched his fists unhurriedly and said, "Sister Du...... Do you have a singer here, named Meng Xiaoyu? ”

Sister Du said happily: "Ha! Look at Lang Jun's dignified appearance, extraordinary manners, really have a vision, Meng Xiaoyu is a celebrity in our building, she has to pick people to sing songs, and she is reluctant to sing a rough person who is not elegant. ”

Xue Chongxun smiled: "Then is she willing to sing for me?" ”

"Willing to be willing, why not? Tsk, Lang Jun is a talent, she is a hundred willing......"

Xue Chongxun said: "I suddenly want to listen to "Sauvignon Blanc" today, and let Meng Xiaoyu come out and sing a song for me." ”

Bustard's face changed, and she was confused: "This ...... There is someone in the small rain room, why don't you let Yuxing slave wait? Yu Xingnu is the best at singing the song of the Jiaofang. ”

Xue Chongxun was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he couldn't afford to use his identity to suppress people in such a place, so after thinking about it, he said: "If I don't wait long, I'll take a sip of tea and wait; If she can't be free today, then I'll pay a deposit and book a date to come back. ”

When the bustard heard that he was a magnanimous lord, his face became very kind, but at this moment, suddenly a woman's voice upstairs screamed, and then shouted: "Mother, it's not good, it's murderous, ah! ”

The people in the hall were in an uproar, and many of the guests who were seated stood up and craned their necks to look upstairs, most of them were thinking of watching the excitement. And Bustard's face immediately pulled down, and said to Xue Chongxun: "I have to go up first to see what happened, you wait for a while, and I won't be with you." ”

The surrounding discussions became a little noisy, and Fang Yuzhong also raised his caution when he saw the mess, and coldly observed everyone who approached.

At this moment, Xue Chongxun suddenly heard the words of the panicked woman upstairs with a "...... Sister Meng ......, "Why, I didn't hear the whole sentence clearly, but he heard Sister Meng's three words, and he couldn't help but think: Could it be Meng Xiaoyu?"

Seeing that the bustard was running upstairs, Xue Chongxun also hurriedly followed.
