Chapter 32: Change is coming
I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch.
This is Fang Chongyong's mood at the moment, he was on the way back to Chang'an, sitting in the ox cart and thinking:
Did Lee's brain get caught in the door?
Or is Fang Youde's compulsion not high enough, and he can't even count the pre-determined marriage contract?
Is there a secret here that you don't know? For example, Li Heng promised to marry Wang Zhonghe's family after the matter was completed?
Fang Chongyong vaguely remembered that Li Yu of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be about the same age as himself.
He weighed repeatedly in his mind how to solve this matter.
Originally, Fang Chongyong was not very interested in marrying the Wang family, and it was Wang Zhonghei who entrusted him with the big things, so he came forward to mediate.
Now that I have been tossed like this, I have been made a little difficult to ride a tiger.
If you really don't recognize this family business, then you are not a person inside and out, and it is difficult for the scumbag father and Wang Zhonghei to explain.
And admitting this family business, it seems to be a hot face to stick a cold ass!
"Did Lang Jun hit a wall in the Wang family? Is it the people over there who want to repent of their marriage? ”
Zhang Xun, who was driving, asked suspiciously, he was a person from the past, and he knew this kind of thing when his hairy foot son-in-law came to the door.
"It's not clear over there, and it's impossible to say it explicitly, but the meaning of refusing to marry is not asked. I can't bear this breath, and I just return the eight characters of my birthday, but I don't have to embarrass them to be villains. ”
Fang Chongyong couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Xun had long felt that Fang Chongyong's wisdom far surpassed that of his peers, and even compared with adults. He thought about it, nodded slightly, and encouraged: "People live in one breath, Xiao Langjun has done nothing wrong." ”
"yes."
Fang Chongyong was very reluctant to respond to the road, but he secretly thought in his heart: It would be nice if it could really be so simple.
Zhang Xun thought that Fang Chongyong couldn't bear this breath, but in fact, Fang Chongyong, who was a man in two lives, had never seen any big scene? In the previous life, the mother-in-law's eyes were higher than the top, and she looked at people through the crack in the door, is it very strange?
At the beginning, Zheng Shuqing came up directly and pointed out the deer as a horse to him, didn't he finally find a way to get out of the sea of suffering?
The reason why Fang Chongyong returned Wang Yunxiu's birthday seemed to be very impulsive. In fact, where was he angry and rejected from marriage, he was angry with the stupidity of the Li family, and even more frightened by the stormy waves that might come!
The Li family is now asking Li Heng to use his connections to help Wang Zhongji leave Dongyang Mansion, she only thinks about convenience but does not consider the huge risks!
If Li Heng really wants to do this, let alone return to Chang'an at that time, Wang Zhongsi may even be directly assigned to Lingnan! I don't even know if Li Longji casually found a trumped-up charge and dealt with it!
The Li clan had never thought about what terrifying energy Li Heng and Wang Zhongsi would produce when they joined forces! How deep will Li Longji be jealous.
Li Heng now has the hard card of Huangfu Weiming in his hand, although this person is not yet a festival envoy, but he is both civil and military, not only has he been to Tubo, but also served as Si Nongqing! He also served as a general of the left guard.
It was only a matter of time before he was appointed as the envoy of the festival, and now he is suppressed, just because he was implicated in the matter of his righteous brother Wang Yu, but sooner or later he will still be promoted by Li Longji.
Because the position of the festival envoy is to be a talent who is both civil and military. And in the matter of the battle against Tubo, the Tang court will always lack a general who understands the situation in Tubo. There are countless opportunities for Huangfu Weiming to make a career!
In addition to Huangfu Weiming, Li Heng's hardcore cronies also include Wei Jian. Now that Wei Jian is Chang'an Ling, I heard that he has the possibility of entering the phase, and he is also very good at managing money, and it is only a matter of time before he is used by Li Longji.
It can be said that the future is limitless.
With these two people, one literate and one martial, one outside and one inside, Li Heng has strong supporters in both the DPRK and the border towns.
Then in the case that the crown prince Li Ying is inevitably deposed, the next round of succession for many princes will inevitably start. Li Heng's strength is already terrifying just by looking at it, and it is simply written on the door of his head, "I will be the new prince"!
If there is one more Wang Zhonghei among Li Heng's cronies who has repeatedly made military exploits at the border pass, Fang Chongyong can completely imagine how much Li Longji will be afraid!
At that time, Li Longji will be a little sick and unable to take care of the dynasty, and Li Heng can use Wei Jian to control the center, and Huangfu Weiming and Wang Zhongsi to control the border towns, is it difficult to change the world? and another PTSD slogan, for example, what makes the courtiers very jealous, such as Concubine Wu Hui's rebellion or something.
took advantage of the courtiers and clansmen's deep fear of Wu Meiniang back then, and would rather kill the mistake than let it go. I'm afraid that the success rate of the coup will be amazing!
Not to mention Li Longji, who is extremely suspicious, it is Fang Chongyong himself, and he feels a chill in his back when he thinks about it.
Now that I have the opportunity to cut myself off from Wang Zhongsi's family, do you still wait for the New Year if you don't run?
When Li Longji starts to kill his three sons in one day, it depends on how Li cries! At that time, the whole family would be frightened day and night, thinking that they would be implicated by the king.
I'm afraid that Li Heng has already started to operate this matter now. Unfortunately, the more he operated, the farther Wang Zhongji would be from returning to the battlefield, and the more dangerous his situation would become.
"Where blessings and misfortunes are relied upon, misfortunes and blessings are lurking. That Wang Sheng said that this trip was indispensable, and sure enough, he said that he was right, and he came in vain. ”
Fang Chongyong couldn't help but sigh with emotion, that fortune teller Wang Sheng's calculation of collecting 500 wen at a time is not too high, but too low, it is really accurate.
Back in Chang'an, Fang Chongyong wrote a letter to Wang Zhongsi, in which he analyzed the benefits and disadvantages in detail, and then told the truth, spread out all the possible crises and told the other party, and said that the current situation is very treacherous and dangerous.
Fang Chongyong told Wang Zhongsi that he was dormant in Dongyang Mansion and was not concerned by Li Longji, which may not be a good thing to be thankful about.
As for the marriage contract, the letter did not mention it.
However, before the letter was sent, a "big event" happened that Fang Chongyong did not expect.
……
On the second day after Fang Chongyong returned to Chang'an, two uninvited guests came to the door and caught him off guard!
Fang Chongyong looked at the slender girl in front of him, dressed in a man's white robe, with a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, who looked no more than eight or nine years old, and her hair was simply tied up. It is refreshing and capable without powder.
Those blazing eyes kept staring at him, which made Fang Chongyong, who had always been able to speak well, a little speechless for a while.
Next to the girl was a young man who looked like Wang Zhonghe, but he was fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was wearing the same style of robe as the girl, but he was one size older.
"Under Wang Yanshu, the eldest son of Wang Zhonghe, I have met my brother-in-law. This is her brother-in-law's wife Wang Yunxiu. ”
Wang Yanshu gave Wang Yunxiu a smile and motioned for her to speak.
"What the hell do you mean?"
Wang Yunxiu opened her mouth to ask.
Fang Chongyong was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "Huh? ”
"Ahhh If the marriage is a major event, if it is the will of your parents, it is your father who will withdraw from the marriage. If the marriage is decided by you and me, then you have to ask me if I agree! You quit the marriage without even seeing my face, it's unreasonable!
What the hell do you mean? ”
The more Wang Yunxiu spoke, the more angry she became, and she couldn't wait to give Fang Chongyong a punch directly.
"That's... What do you think? ”
Fang Chongyong felt that the girl in front of him was a little fierce, not cute at all, and he asked cautiously.
Seeing that something good was about to be said, Wang Yanshu waved his hand to signal Wang Yunxiu to shut up, and then said with a smile: "Father often says: Faith and righteousness are the foundation of people.
The brother-in-law rushed back to Chang'an from Kuizhou, and then went all the way to Zheng County, Huazhou. What happened to King Chung's side and Mother's side does not represent our opinion.
Zai Xia and the Twelve Ladies (Wang Yunxiu) all believe that the brother-in-law is his own person and can be entrusted with big things, which is more reliable than the side of King Zhong. ”
And this kind of thing?
Fang Chongyong looked at Wang Yanshu with a shocked expression, and then looked at Wang Yunxiu.
"Look at what, you will have to marry me in a few years, and you will have to watch it if you don't want to see it then."
Wang Yunxiu said angrily, and after sitting down, she was full of anger and didn't know who to ask to send it.
Finding that Fang Chongyong was stunned and didn't speak, Wang Yanshu had no choice but to say gently: "We have always felt that although King Zhong (Li Heng) has a good relationship with my father, he is always an outsider, and his ideas are unpredictable.
So this time we came to Chang'an with our mother on our back, first, the eldest mother (Wang Zhonghe's mother Kuang's) was born in a small family, and I didn't like Lang Jun very much, thinking that Lang Jun valued love and righteousness, and could entrust the twelve ladies to Lang Jun;
Second, I also want to know what my brother-in-law plans to do, and whether we need to do anything.
To be honest, since my father was demoted to Dongyang Mansion, the family has been completely chaotic. It's a bit like my mother is rushing to the doctor. My brother-in-law is very smart, and I asked my brother-in-law to solve his doubts. ”
After speaking, he bowed deeply to Fang Chongyong.
The sudden visit of these two people made Fang Chongyong so confused that he didn't know how to deal with it.
"So, now this family business, is it your own will?"
Fang Chongyong looked at Wang Yunxiu and asked suspiciously.
The girl's face has not fully grown, but she already has the appearance of a beautiful embryo. The body looks very toned, especially the proportions of the legs are really good, and the standing is actually a little taller than himself.
"Or else? I don't want to come, who can force me to come?
I think that you rushed from Kuizhou to Zheng County because of your husband's doing. My future husband should be such a man who stands up to the sky.
Since the parents have already arranged the marriage contract, they should keep their promises, how can they change their orders overnight?
You're not going to say you regret it, are you? ”
Wang Yunxiu is quick to speak, not as pretentious as those little ladies who are shy to answer, and she speaks very clearly.
"I'm just afraid that we will be like-minded, and it will be miserable to end up as brothers with different surnames."
Fang Chongyong looked at Wang Yunxiu and smiled bitterly.
"Then Ah Lang didn't hurry up and serve the wine? What does mother-in-law and mother look like! ”
Wang Yunxiu couldn't help laughing and laughed, looking at Fang Chongyong in a trance for a while. I have seen a lot of hypocritical women in my previous life, but I have never seen such a strange woman.
Wang Yanshu couldn't help but complain on the side: "My sister just fell in love with my brother-in-law, you are looking for a wife for thousands of miles, and you are righteous and thin." When she learned that you were going to divorce the marriage, she had a big fight with her mother......"
"Can you shut your dog's mouth?"
Wang Yunxiu turned her head embarrassedly, rolled her eyes at Wang Yanshu and scolded.
Fang Dafu smiled and brought a jar of red lotus spring, and looked at Wang Yunxiu without speaking, as if he had a deep meaning, and then retreated quietly.
Wang Yanshu and Wang Yunxiu both looked at the red lotus spring in the white porcelain wine glass in a daze, even if they were not drunkards, they could feel that the price of the wine in front of them was very expensive.
The three of them drank until their faces were slightly red, and they all put down their wine glasses, ready to start talking about serious things. After confirming that the marriage contract is okay, they can start talking about business, Wang Yanshu and his sisters are not as reckless as they appear, they also have principles and bottom lines.
"It's okay to call you Ah Lang now. Now the priority is to get my father back up, but we have no way out. Ah Lang, if you have any ideas, you might as well tell us about it. Mother's side, let's find a way to convince. ”
Wang Yunxiu rarely put away her temper and said.
"It used to be a good thing to do, but now it's hard. It is estimated that the operation on Chungwang's side has already begun, and now even if you want to, you can't stop.
They will only help the unhelpful, and the more they help, the more they help. ”
Fang Chongyong sighed and said, when he heard Wang Yunxiu's mother say that he had asked Li Heng for help, he knew that things were going to be bad!
"If we contact the people of the king now and ask them not to operate this matter, is there any chance of turning around?"
Wang Yanshu thought about it, and asked Fang Chongyong a little unconfidently.
"Asking people to do things is the most taboo, and changing the order at a moment's notice. Don't you want to lose face? Just be called by your family and come and go? ”
Fang Chongyong looked at Wang Yanshu and asked rhetorically, if he can't think through this stubble, then he really suspects that Wang Yanshu's IQ is not enough to conspire with great things!
"What's so difficult to understand about this, nobles can't be cheap, Ah Lang continued."
Wang Yunxiu's reaction was a beat faster than her brother's, and it could be seen that although her temper was not very good, her brain was very flexible, and she was quick to talk and never dragged her feet.
The trouble in this matter is that the sage may have thought that the reason why King Chung was so keen to bring his father-in-law back up was because his father-in-law was a henchman of King Chung.
As long as this level of concern can be relieved, it is easy for the father-in-law to return to Chang'an, and even to entrust him with important tasks. ”
Fang Chongyong probably said that it was better not to talk to them about the danger, in case it scared these two and a half children.
"It doesn't sound like a hard ......"
Wang Yanshu said in a deep voice.
"I think so."
Wang Yunxiu said with certainty.
"How dare you be so sure......"
Fang Chongyong couldn't help but sigh at Wang Yunxiu.
What he wasn't sure about himself, this little Lori was actually talking serious nonsense! Could it be that just because he is a little taller than himself, can he ignore the chaotic situation in Chang'an today?
"Then I'll give you a pair of shoes, and when the time comes, you can run more and be diligent, and everything will be left to Ah Lang."
Wang Yunxiu took out a pair of new shoes made by herself from the cuffs and stuffed them into Fang Chongyong's arms, without asking if they fit or not. She picked up Wang Yanshu and left, looking a little embarrassed.
After Fang Chongyong sent the two out of the door, Wang Yunxiu grimaced at him and said, "Don't think about getting out of the marriage, you can't get out." ”
At this time, she showed the innocence that a girl should have, and she saw Fang Chongyong's heart rippling.
"I didn't want to get out of the marriage......"
Fang Chongyong's momentum was completely suppressed by the other party, and he retorted weakly.
When he walked out of Chang'an City, Wang Yanshu asked Wang Yunxiu, who was in a very happy mood, in confusion: "Are you really right?" Actually, it's still a few years away. There are still three or four years to go through the door, and the house has to be ...... back."
"It's common to cling to people when you're developed, but it's not common to help people when you're down. Now that the Wang family is in trouble, as a person who has a marriage contract with the Wang family, it is too late to dodge, so why bother to come to Zheng County to help us? Not to mention starting from Kuizhou, thousands of miles away.
Isn't such a person worthy of trust? The father's vision is not bad, but the mother has always pinned her hopes on the loyal king, which is really unwise. ”
Wang Yunxiu replied with a solemn face.
Wang Yanshu nodded slightly, he saw that Wang Zhongsi praised Fang Chongyong in the letter as "affectionate, righteous, brave and strategic", but Wang Yunxiu had never seen this letter.
"Wang Sheng of Xuanpingfang told you his fortune and said that your future husband has the talent of a prime minister. I think my brother-in-law is very wise, and it is estimated that it will not be difficult to enter the future phase, so Wang Sheng really deserves his reputation! ”
Wang Yanshu laughed and teased, Wang Yunxiu stomped her feet with a flushed face, turned her head and left, ignoring Wang Yanshu anymore.
What the two of them didn't expect was that the moment of their mother Li's funeral came earlier and more urgently than expected.
The drastic changes in the political situation in Chang'an exceeded everyone's expectations!
