Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4475

Accompanying Li Chengqian back to Wude Hall, Li Chengqian went to the apse to bathe and change clothes, Fang Jun sat in the imperial study and waited, and then he heard the jingling of rings, Empress Su stepped in from outside the door, dressed in crimson palace attire Against the background, the skin is as white as frost and snow, the cloud bun is full of pearls and emeralds, the eyebrows are picturesque, the slender waist is like a beam, and the newly lit candlelight shines on it.

It is the most beautiful age in a woman's life, graceful and graceful...

Fang Jun got up quickly, and bowed to the ground: "My minister has an audience with the queen."

With the fragrant wind blowing on her face, Empress Su came to stand three steps in front of Fang Jun, raised her left hand and said softly, "Why should my family be so polite? Erlang please get up quickly."

There are differences between monarchs and ministers, but the queen doesn't seem to care about these, but calls them "Erlang" intimately and regards them as relatives and family members.

Fang Jun: "Thank you Queen."

Then I got up.

Empress Su took her seat, let Fang Jun also sit, and asked the maid who came randomly to put two trays on the table, and then waved the two maids away, only two people were left in the imperial study, and then smiled Said: "It must be tiring to discuss state affairs with His Majesty for a day, right? Your Majesty is taking a bath, Erlang might as well have a cup of tea and two cakes first, otherwise I don't know when we will have to wait for dinner."

A pot of tea and a plate of pastries were placed on the case table, but Fang Jun didn't do anything, and asked curiously: "But there are still important matters that need to be discussed by Your Majesty?"

Originally, after the discussion at the Military Aircraft Office, everyone should go out of the palace and go back to the mansion, but Li Chengqian dragged Fang Jun back to Wude Hall, wanting the monarch and his ministers to have dinner together, now listening to the Queen's tone, it seems that there is something unexpected event?
"Ah……"

Empress Su smiled lightly, her phoenix eyes gave Fang Jun an angry look, and the corners of her rosy lips curled up slightly: "Is Erlang pretending to be confused?"

Those resentful, shy and annoyed eyes overflowed with all kinds of amorous feelings, which made Fang Jun's heart tremble. Although the empress and him had never put on airs as monarchs and ministers, their expressions and tone were a little too close...

Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Fang Jun was puzzled: "My minister is stupid, please let the queen express it."

The queen snorted softly, as if she was a little displeased: "What did you do that you don't know?"

Fang Jun has always been stubborn and never admits the immoral things he has done. He shook his head and said: "Although I don't dare to call myself a moral gentleman, I have never corrupted the law, violated the law, and violated the law. I really don't know what the queen is referring to."

The most bad thing I have done recently is to eat up the Baling Princess who was delivered to my door but not to do anything...

Sure enough, Empress Su raised her hand, raised a finger that looked like a green onion tube and pointed to the outside of the hall, her phoenix eyes stared at Fang Jun's face: "The Wang family of Duke Qiao's mansion is kneeling outside the hall, saying It’s because Princess Baling didn’t return all night last night, but she locked herself in her room and cried non-stop when she came home this morning... Does this matter have anything to do with Erlang?”

Fang Jun's expression was as usual, he remained motionless, and said indifferently: "I do know about this matter. Princess Baling entered the barracks last night to intercede for Chai Lingwu, but I dare not use my personal friendship to override the national law, so I did not agree. Princess Baling loves her husband eagerly, begs bitterly and refuses to leave, but the humble official has no choice but to keep Princess Baling in the tent of the commander in order to avoid rumors and rumors from ruining her reputation, while the humble minister avoids it... The Wang family is also really ignorant, the Chai family brothers committed the crime of treason, the crime is unforgivable, she should be the one who should kill her relatives righteously, but she actually came to the palace to beg for mercy? It's so stupid."

Empress Su kept staring at Fang Jun's face, as if she wanted to catch some clues, such as guilt, worry, fear...etc.

However, to her disappointment, the man's expression was as usual, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Unavoidably, there was a hint of doubt... Could it be that the Wang family really just played a "bitter trick" with Princess Baling, trying to drag Fang Jun into the water, so as to force His Majesty to forgive the Chai brothers' treason?
"You... really didn't do anything?"

Fang Jun nodded, and said righteously: "I didn't do anything!"

Empress Su was skeptical: "Just leave Princess Baling alone in the handsome tent?"

Fang Jun's tone was firm: "If the queen doesn't believe it, all the generals, lieutenants and generals can be called to interrogate one by one."

"Who are you fooling?" Empress Su gave Fang Jun a coquettish look, and snorted, "They are all your subordinates. Even if I ask, I won't tell the truth."

Fang Jun: "..."

Your Royal Highness, can you not be so intimate and ambiguous with your expression?

It makes people's hearts tremble like a cat scratching. This is not good. I always feel that morality is suffering infinitely...

"His Majesty!"

The voice of the servant came from outside the door, Empress Su glanced at Fang Jun, forced her mouth shut, got up from the seat next to Fang Jun, came to the side of the imperial case and stood still, holding her sleeve with one hand to reveal a section of bully wearing an emerald green jade bracelet. Shuang Saixue held the pot in one hand and filled the cup with tea.

The side face is flawless, the figure is slim, and there is a light and familiar charm flowing...

Fang Jun moved his throat, swallowed, stood up and stood towards the door, saw Li Chengqian stepping in, and bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty."

Empress Su also bowed and saluted: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty."

"Ah."

Li Chengqian was dressed in ordinary clothes, walked to the desk with a pause, and waved his hands: "There is no need to be polite, let's all sit down."

"Here."

Fang Jun took his seat again, and Empress Su put the teacup in front of Li Chengqian.

After Li Chengqian picked up the teacup and took a sip, he said softly: "Your Majesty, the Wang family of Duke Qiao's Mansion is outside the hall and wants to see His Majesty..."

"Wang?"

Putting down the teacup, Li Chengqian looked anxious: "Do you want to intercede for the Chai brothers? Hmph, even Baling knows that this time the Chai brothers have committed an unforgivable crime, and they didn't come to plead with me. Is it possible that the Wang family will pay it back for me?" To take her face into consideration? It's unreasonable!"

The Chai family brothers are white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with them. When the Guanlongmen Clan mutinied before, the Chai family brothers attached themselves to Li Yuanjing and tried to capture the Xuanwu Gate and entered the Taiji Palace to depose him as the prince of the supervisory country. His heart softened, and he not only pardoned the Chai brothers' crime of treason, but even reinstated their officials, hoping to make up for their merits and have the heart to change their mistakes.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, when the King of Jin rebelled, the two brothers became attached to the bandits again, completely forgetting the grace of forgiveness...

No matter how good-tempered anyone is, he will inevitably be annoyed.

Empress Su cast a glance at Fang Jun, and saw that this guy was drinking tea slowly, with lowered eyebrows and downcast eyes, couldn't help staring, leaned forward, and whispered something in Li Chengqian's ear...

"Uh……"

Only then did Li Chengqian understand why the Wang family came to the Taiji Palace, and looked at Fang Jun speechlessly: "Can you stop messing around like this? Even though the Chai family brothers are unpardonable, I always have to take into account the love of Princess Pingyang Zhao, Protect the reputation of the Chai family one or two."

Princess Pingyang Zhao can be regarded as a very different existence of the Li Tang royal family. Although she is a daughter, she has made great military exploits. Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Taizong, and even Li Jiancheng respected her and regarded her as the cornerstone of the empire. After his death, he was given a posthumous title and buried with military ceremonies, which was extremely honorable.

When Princess Pingyang died, Li Chengqian was only five years old, and he had heard too many legends and deeds about Princess Pingyang. In mourning, we often cry in grief, which is also the reason why Chai Zhewei was not severely punished after the defeat of Li Yuanjing the last time.

So no matter what, Li Chengqian will not let the Chai family die, and the title of Duke Qiao will definitely be passed on.

Not to mention that someone will not allow anyone to ruin the reputation of the Chai family and shame Princess Pingyang under the Nine Springs...

Fang Jun sat upright, "I don't know what Wang's troubles are, I have a clear conscience."

"Fart with a clear conscience!"

Li Chengqian was a little annoyed, he swears rarely, and dissatisfied: "Others may just have doubts, but how can I not know what kind of temperament you are? This matter ends here, and there is no need to have anything to do with Baling in the future."

Fang Jun paused, nodded and said, "Here."

Queen Su stood by Li Chengqian's side, and looked at Fang Jun when she heard the words. Although they looked at each other and separated immediately, the slightly raised eyebrows of Queen Su revealed her sarcasm: Oh, you won't admit it. ah?Despicable and shameless disciple...

Fang Jun: "..."

Li Chengqian took another sip of tea, called Wang De outside the door, and ordered: "You go to see the Wang family and pass on my oral order. Chai Zhewei is attached to the bandits for their infidelity and unrighteousness. , will not return to Beijing for life, and will not be pardoned. The title of Qiao Guogong will be inherited by Chai Lingwu... In addition, I will tell the Wang family that I want to separate the network for Princess Pingyang Zhao. Stop talking nonsense and make trouble out of nothing, otherwise I will not forgive you lightly!"

"Here."

Wang De quickly wrote down, seeing that Li Chengqian had nothing else to say, he turned around and went out to find Wang to convey the emperor's oral order.

Li Chengqian looked at Fang Jun and asked, "What does Erlang think of my handling like this?"

Fang Jun thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty... is too kind, like Chai Zhewei who refuses to change after repeated admonitions, is unfaithful and unrighteous, even if the whole family is copied and executed."

Regardless of whether this handling is appropriate or not, he will not say too much. After all, this is considered to be the emperor's family matter, and it is an internal matter of the Li Tang royal family. They will attack him in groups.

Li Chengqian sighed, and said helplessly: "Are you a cousin after all, how can you endure the decapitation and extermination of the whole family? Besides, the title of Qiao Guogong, the Chai family, is the compensation given to Princess Pingyang Zhao by Emperor Gaozu back then. In any case, I cannot take it away."

As for the Chai family's participation in the Jin Wang Mutiny, Chai Zhewei was the principal offender and Chai Lingwu was the accomplice, so they could only let it go lightly. Chai Zhewei should bear all the responsibilities and take Chai Lingwu out, otherwise Qiao Guogong's title would be lost. It will be taken back by the court, which Li Chengqian does not want to see.
