After Qin Qiong knelt on the ground, the other five dukes, led by Zhangsun Wuji, knelt on the ground without hesitation and shouted,
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Five powerful voices of apology echoed in Taiji Palace.
Fang Jun was somewhat shocked. Qin Qiong's reason for asking for forgiveness was reasonable, but why were these five dukes also asking for forgiveness after being splashed with so much dirty water by him and almost losing their reputations?
How could he know that these old officials who had made illustrious contributions to the expansion of the Great Tang were all covered in wounds when they left the battlefield? Even if they had received the favor of Second Emperor Li and had the imperial physician personally treat them, they were only given some recuperative prescriptions. It was simply wishful thinking to think that they could be cured.
Especially Zhangsun Wuji.
In fact, as a civil official, Zhangsun Wuji was not like the five fierce generals. His body could not be better, and he slept and ate well. However, his sister was the wife of the current Emperor Li Er, the Empress who was the mother of the world.
As an elder brother, he was also sad every time he saw his sister being tortured by her hidden illness.
This time, Fang Jun cured her.
Zhangsun Wuji remembered this kindness in his heart.
Not to mention asking him to apologize to Li Er, even if he kowtowed to Fang Jun to thank him, there was no harm in calling him benefactor!
Among everyone present, Fang Xuanling was the happiest.
That chubby old face was blooming with joy. From the time the six High Dukes came to the Duke of Liang's residence with whips to the time when the six High Dukes pleaded for forgiveness in front of him and his son, the ups and downs of life were so touching. It made him feel lofty and his heart was as sweet as honey.
But he was tactful, shouting at Fang Jun,"Unfilial son, kneel down. You still have the face to stand here after causing such a big mess? Hurry up and apologize to the six uncles!”
"Fang Xuanling, you dare to make him kneel?"
"How did you teach your son!"
"Do you know how to be your father? If you don't, you won't adopt Fang Jun into Qin Manor!”
The six High Dukes were enraged, and they glared at him. To them, Fang Xuanling was using his son's power to mock them.
Fang Xuanling also didn't expect things to turn out like this, but when he heard Qin Qiong say that Fang Jun was going to adopt Qin Manor, his nose was crooked from anger. He pointed at Qin Qiong angrily,""Qin Qiong, you're so good. Today, you six High Dukes came looking for trouble with me and my son. I haven't even settled the score with you, and you're actually saying such vulgar words!”
"Open your eyes and look carefully!"
Qin Qiong pointed at his knees on the ground and glared at him.""Can't you see that I'm kneeling down to beg for forgiveness?"
"State Duke Liang, you're being unreasonable."
Zhangsun Wuji said faintly," We've done something wrong and we're asking for forgiveness from the Emperor. Your son has done something meritorious and should accept our apology. What does it have to do with you?"”
"Fang Jun, stop kneeling."
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he huffed angrily at Fang Jun."Just stand there and watch. And you six old fogeys, Fang Jun is my son, don't have any funny ideas!”
"I have a daughter!"
Qin Qiong suddenly said.
The moment he finished speaking, the other five High Dukes became excited.
"Me too!"
"I have many daughters!"
"I've decided on this son-in-law!"
The five High Dukes knelt on the ground and looked at Fang Jun as if they were looking at a sparkling treasure. They fought to be the first to shout.
"Dukes."
At this moment, Second Emperor Li, who had come back to his senses, was unhappy. He said faintly,"This Fang Jun is the Dragon Son-in-law General that this one has appointed. You want to snatch this one's son-in-law?”
The expressions of the six High Dukes changed drastically.
Damn it, he had forgotten about this!
"Your Majesty, you agree?"
Fang Jun, who had been watching from the side, was delighted when he heard this. If Second Emperor Li said this, he wouldn't need to prove it three months later. He quickly shouted,"Father-in-law, please accept my bow!”
Fang Xuanling was speechless.
The six dukes were speechless.
Empress Zhangsun was speechless.
Li Er was speechless.
Princess Chang Le stomped her feet in embarrassment, wishing she could kick his butt. This lecher, how could her skin be so thick? How could she be so arrogant?
That father-in-law made everyone feel like they were on the inside.
Li Er pointed at him angrily. The good feelings he had for Fang Jun and his thoughts on how to reward him for curing Empress Zhangsun's hidden illness had all disappeared without a trace. He gritted his teeth and said,"If you dare to kneel down, this one will order someone to break your legs right now. Stand up straight for this one, and your knees are not allowed to bend even an inch!”
Fang Jun smiled awkwardly and straightened his body.
Among the people present, only Empress Zhangsun gave Fang Jun an appreciative look. The mother-in-law looked at him with more and more satisfied eyes. She knew when to retreat and when to stop. She knew what she should and should not get. She was a person with integrity.
The situation in the palace was at risk of getting out of control.
If this continued, who knew what the six guilds would do, and what Li Er would say that was inappropriate. At this time, with Fang Jun's interference, Li Er reminded the six dukes of the agreement between him, the emperor, and Fang Jun.
It also dispelled the thoughts of the six High Dukes to rope Fang Jun.
It was the best of both worlds.
Empress Zhangsun secretly sighed. She had made things difficult for Fang Jun, making him a tree that would be destroyed by the wind. She secretly decided that she would make it up to Fang Jun in the future.
