Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 418 Anxiety is a disaster
Late at night, Fang Chongyong sat alone in the signing room of Wulanguan Gate Tower, his heart full of worries about the future.

Make him feel uneasy to eat and restless to sleep.

Before the middle Tang Dynasty, this was almost an iron rule! Let alone a king with a different surname, even a crowned king from a clan would have a very rough fate.

All in all, being crowned king not only does not mean that he can go sideways in the future, but it proves that the person involved has reached the edge of the cliff. If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces.

Not to mention that the words "King of Pingxi" made Fang Chongyong feel so choked up!

"Brother Ji, Brother Ji, your strategy of using small things to control big things really shows no mercy at all."

Fang Chongyong sighed and said to himself, his face full of melancholy.

He is so young and the pressure he bears is too great!
Because of Zhang's incident, Fang Chongyong knew very well that he had offended many important people in the court.

Returning to Chang'an is like traveling in the shallows. The network in Hexi cannot play much role, and it all depends on Brother Ji's protection.

Now, Ji Ge deliberately made Fang Chongyong the county king. It is estimated that after returning to Chang'an, he will be given a civil official position with real power, and at the same time, he will install people from other factions in the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army.

Brother Ji refused to abdicate because of his old age, causing systemic and structural instability in the imperial power. In this vortex, whoever enters will die. As for the severe situation faced by the Tang Dynasty, it’s okay not to mention it.

That would be a big loss!
Fang Chongyong understands this kind of servility, which is the invisible shackles tied around everyone's neck by the times, and it is also the source of the powerful's sense of superiority.

If the assassination failed, it was likely that the dignitaries would randomly throw him to some guard for fun.

Brother Ji can't get rid of his Machiavellian brain after all!

Fang Chongyong finally believed in Wang Zhongsi's judgment, and after returning to Chang'an, he should plan for his release as soon as possible.

As she complained herself, having a prince with a different surname conferred by the imperial court to take away her virginity would not be considered an insult to her.

"Fuck! Isn't this horse riding Tianbao Yang Guozhong!"

It's going to rain. If your mother wants to get married, let it be.

A thought flashed through Fang Chongyong's mind: People who talk about being strong often have the lowest self-esteem deep down.

Even in the previous life, many people, especially women, took the initiative to put this yoke around their necks.

But now, the series of courtesies given to her by Fang Chongyong have already made this assassin with low self-esteem feel that she can't afford it.

"Is there not enough money?"

"Didn't you leave already?"

So it is easy to understand what Jiang Wuyan wants to do now.

Jiang Wuyan seemed to have something on his mind, his eyes twinkling.

Jiang Wuyan had acted arrogantly before, but she believed that she owed nothing to others and that she should maintain sufficient self-respect when her life was threatened.

"That's fine."

Fang Chongyong couldn't help but want to scold his mother! He has completely straightened out Brother Ji's thinking, but after all, he still can't escape the balance clamp.

Then Fang Chongyong saw Jiang Wuyan walking in with a tangled look on his face.

As long as he is slightly weak, Brother Ji will support him from behind.

The Emperor of Chang'an can stand behind the scenes and live happily without having to directly fight with the two prime ministers!

Fang Chongyong had a strange mentality. He especially wanted to see those powerful people, who were so unlucky that they looked like wild dogs begging for a living after the landslide and the ground cracked one day. He didn't even mind stepping on them.

Fang Chongyong asked again.

Jiang Wuyan said nothing and pinched his sleeves with his hands.

"Sure enough, Chang'an is a place of right and wrong, so you can't stay for a long time."

It is also the last fig leaf.

At this moment, Feng Changqing, who was on duty outside the door, stepped forward. The other party, Chongyong, muttered a few words in a low voice, and then exited the room very wisely.

This made him feel bad.

If you give away your virginity now, you can get something in exchange.

"No, no, that's enough, that's enough. It's already a lot."

Why don't I pay back part of what I owe you now, otherwise I will feel uneasy. "

"Your Highness, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to the stone house to talk."

Since you can't afford it, you will definitely have to use your life to pay it back in the future.

Fang Chongyong asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Your Highness, I have thought about it. I may not be able to repay what I owe you. Because I cannot guarantee that every assassination will be successful and that I can escape unscathed. If I fail, I will most likely die.

Fang Chongyong nodded slightly. He was in the detention room thinking about Brother Ji and the imperial court, and he felt very bored to death.

To put it simply, it means diluting military power and giving it governance power. Let him, the former Western Region Economic and Strategic Ambassador who swept across the Western Regions and made great achievements in military affairs, stand at the front desk and check and balance the court.

In the darkness, her heartbeat was beating violently and her body was trembling slightly.

Jiang Wuyan quickly denied that she was here to ask for money. She was a person with strong self-esteem.

The two arrived at the stone house. Before they even lit the torch, Jiang Wuyan hugged Fang Chongyong tightly.

Fang Chongyong no longer wanted to think further.

For those women who came from powerful families, Fang Chongyong did not refuse them to give up on themselves and throw themselves into his arms to be toyed with by him.

He played with ease.

But it would be meaningless to take advantage of such a "status advantage" and bully ordinary people like gods enjoying sacrifices.

Thinking of this, the beauty in his arms no longer has any special appeal, because this is a freshly baked sacrifice.

“Let a man love himself first, and then he will be loved by others.

If you don't even cherish yourself, then after I play with you, I will throw it away like rags. There is no need to think about you.

If you come from a wealthy family and have a lot of things, I naturally don't mind throwing myself into your arms.

But now you have nothing else but your beauty and your ability to kill. If I take away your virginity again, you will have even less.

And I have everything, I am young, I have status, I have connections, I have military power, I have beauties and even quite a few.

What does it mean to me to have fun with you?

You should cherish yourself more. "

Fang Chongyong patted Jiang Wuyan on the back and pushed her away.

Mudd, this girl's chest muscles are really developed, it would be a pity not to play with her.

Fang Chongyong secretly complained in his heart, but his brain was not controlled by the little brother in his lower body.

"Your Highness, you are really unique. I kind of understand why you can hold a high position at such a young age."

Jiang Wuyan let out a long sigh, his words filled with admiration and a subtle hint of resentment.

This newly crowned county king really understands the helplessness and suffering of the people at the bottom. Such people are almost extinct in the upper class society of the Tang Dynasty today, so they are rare.

The people at the bottom of the Tang Dynasty lacked food, clothing, and even more respect and dignity. They lacked almost everything.

And the only things we have are still being taken away by those people who are above us.

"You are overthinking. I am in a high position because my father is an important minister of the saint, and it is because I was reincarnated well.

My own efforts come second.

This is just the way the world is, I just see it more clearly and understand that it is not my own ability. "Fang Chongyong laughed at himself.

It is true that he is a carnivore, but he can plan far, see the situation clearly, and know how much he weighs.

The good old days of the Tang Dynasty's powerful people are coming to an end. Whoever is more grounded will be invincible in the future!
Condescending?

Fang Chongyong does not think that the powerful will always remain the powerful, and that being aloof can last forever.

The day of the big shakeout is coming.

Don't you hear that "the inner treasury was burned to ashes, and the bones of the princes were trampled on in the street"?
No exploitation and oppression can last forever. The moment when things go too far is the time of reckoning!
His face was cold at this moment.

"I can see clearly that I am already capable of what others cannot. Just like me before, I always felt that there was no powerful person in the world that I couldn't kill, but in the end I fell into your hands."

Jiang Wuyan sighed again and put away the ripples in his heart.

She finally took half a step tonight, but was pushed back again. At this moment, she was really dumbfounded.

This Commander Fang Jie, King Pingxi, is really not simple.

Fang Chongyong took out an iron wrench from his waist. It was used when he practiced archery and it was quite old.

"Take this, and report my name if you encounter trouble in the future. Of course, if I can save you by then, I will definitely save you. If I can't save you, just ask for your own blessings. I will say that it was a long time ago." Lost things."

He handed the iron wrench into Jiang Wuyan's hand.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely repay you in the future."

Jiang Wuyan did not refuse Fang Chongyong's kindness and put away the iron wrench.

The two pushed the door open and walked out. The stars were shining brightly outside the house, and the night sky looked mysterious, magnificent, and indescribably beautiful.

"When you step out of the dark stone house, you can see the wonderful things in the world. You can't achieve great things by living in a coward."

Fang Chongyong raised his head and looked at the night sky, meaning something.

Jiang Wuyan knew that the other party was implying that she was just a "dog in a fly camp", so her face turned red and she lowered her head without saying anything. Fortunately, no one could see it under the darkness.

"Go ahead and do whatever you have to do. The mountains will remain green and the water will flow forever. Let's meet again if we are destined."

Fang Zhongyong turned around, his back to Jiang Wuyan, and put his hands behind his back.

There was a war between heaven and man in his heart.

The big brother in the upper body said that to win people's hearts is to attack their hearts and to show kindness, a woman is nothing.

Recruiting assassins for your own use will bring many benefits in the future, and it may save lives at critical moments.

The little brother in the lower body doesn't want to say anything, it just wants to fuck the girl.

When Fang Chongyong turned around, he found that Jiang Wuyan had left quietly. As expected of someone who is in this line of work, there is no sound when walking!
"Oh, what a pity."

Fang Zhongyong sighed with regret, not knowing whether he felt sorry for Jiang Wuyanfeng Xiao Xiaoxi's assassination or because he didn't let his little brother in the lower body feel happy.

……

"Right Prime Minister, that Fang Chongyong can also be crowned king, how can he be so virtuous?"

In a wine shop in Pingkangfang, Zhang Jun, the Minister of Punishment, poured wine for Li Shizhi and complained at the same time.

Not only was this edict far from the norm, the key point was that it was promulgated by bypassing the Yizheng Hall, without any prior consultation with the two prime ministers.

Not only Zhang Jun, who had a blood feud with Fang Chongyong, couldn't stand it, but in fact, even Li Shizhi and Fang Guan felt very unhappy.

He believed that the saint Fang Chongyong was "too favored". Which border general was directly crowned a county king after returning to the dynasty?

The previous one was Xin'an King Li Yi.

Li Shizhi and others did not understand why Brother Ji did this, because they were never emperors and did not understand the emperor's thoughts.

They also don't understand that Datang belongs to Brother Ji, so Brother Ji needs to create a "model project" for future generations.

Fang Chongyong did not "support his troops and respect himself", so he was named king after returning to the court. This is an example. From now on, just let those Qiu Ba people learn from it.

However, for the prime ministers of the Yi Zhengtang, the "king king" edict issued by Brother Ji cannot be dismissed even if it has not been approved by the Yi Zhengtang.

Otherwise, he would really slap Brother Ji, Fang Chongyong and others in the face at the same time, and even slap Fang Youde and many old ministers in the face. After offending so many people, the prime minister should stop doing this and just pack up and go home.

After careful consideration, Li Shizhi still completed all the necessary procedures for the imperial edict by first getting on the bus and then paying for the ticket, and he pinched his nose and admitted the title of "Pingxi King".

"What's the use of Zhang Shangshu nagging the Prime Minister? I want you to talk to the saint!"

Facing Zhang Jun's noisy, Li Shizhi said something impatiently, and drank the wine in one gulp out of boredom.

After hearing this, Zhang Jun, who had been chattering before, immediately stopped talking.

In fact, if crying to Brother Ji is useful, why should he talk nonsense to Li Shizhi here? After all, don't you hope that Li Shizhi can stand up for him?
"Right Prime Minister, a certain saint wants to reuse this person."

Zhang Jun lowered his voice and said, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Fang Zhongyong killed his brother, and this hatred will never end.

"Then what's your plan?"

Li Shizhi asked impatiently. This Zhang Jun kept speaking ill of Fang Chongyong in front of him, and did not say how to deal with Fang Chongyong.

When you ask a question, you need to be able to solve it!

"There is still a vacancy for a minister in the Ministry of War. Why don't you suggest to the saint that he come to the Ministry of War and serve as a minister in the Ministry of War? This will show that the right minister is open-minded and can accommodate others."

Zhang Jun smiled slightly, with a deep meaning on his face.

Ok?
Li Shizhi thought he heard wrongly.

You must know that the current three-province and six-ministry system is actually in a "semi-disintegrated" state.

The position of Shangshu has been devalued, and he is more focused on the political affairs hall and participating in major decision-making. Many of them are even held concurrently by the prime minister himself.

The specific duties among the six ministries are handled by the minister, and the minister generally does not ask about them every day, let alone do it himself.

There were two ministers in the Ministry of War, and Zhang Jie was originally one of them. After his death, the position became vacant.

The position of minister is very important! Leave it to Fang Chongyong... This idea is bold!

Li Shizhi was undecided for a while, weighing the pros and cons repeatedly in his mind.

Seeing that Li Shizhi had not yet made up his mind, Zhang Jun added:
"Right Minister, if the saint gives Fang Chongyong other duties, maybe he can still do well. If the power and responsibility are not within the jurisdiction of Right Minister, we can only turn a blind eye to him.

The Ministry of War is the territory of the right prime minister, so Fang Chongyong was brought in, and everyone in it was ours. Even if he has three heads and six arms, what can he accomplish?

Hehe, when the time comes to impeach him and find the supervisory censor to investigate him, why not just let him drink a pot. "

Zhang Jun sneered, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Are you good at fighting?
Then look at whose territory is the Ministry of War, and whose territory is the center of the imperial court?

See if those Qiu Ba under your command are still useful?

Zhang Jun was extremely convinced that as long as Fang Chongyong entered the trap, there was no possibility of him running away!
When it comes to fighting, Zhang Jun naturally knows that he is no match for Fang Chongyong, even if he is singled out, he cannot beat him.

But when it comes to court fighting, ten Fang Chongyong is not enough for him to fight alone.

Do you think you could try using the knife during a court meeting?

Zhang Jun believed that his brother Zhang Ji's revenge would be avenged soon.

"Well, you asked me to think about it."

Li Shizhi seemed to be interested, but did not agree immediately.
