Chapter 2286 Hidden Secret
Seeing his father's hesitation, Changsun Chong said in a deep voice: "How is the child's current condition different from that of a lost dog? All the things in the past were really caused by ghosts and minds, and today, they are all to blame. Your Majesty is kind and cannot bear it. The child is despised, but the child really cannot persist in this life of having no home and being exiled to the end of the world. Instead of spending his whole life and finally being buried in a foreign land, it is better to fight for it and have no regrets even if he dies!"
For a child like him, who has been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child, living in a high-ranking family, living in exile and being dependent on others is really difficult. The pride and dignity in his heart make him live in Goguryeo like a year, and he wants to return to Chang'an more than once, even if he is sentenced to death. You can also find peace of mind.
He would rather die than have his dignity trampled on the ground by those Goguryeo barbarians...
Changsun Wuji looked moved and said: "Why should my son be like this? I am a man who can bend and stretch. Even if you are in a foreign land, you can still find a place to live with your ability. No big deal..."
Before he finished speaking, Changsun Chong knelt down in front of him with a pop, paused and said, "Father, please do it!"
He has made up his mind, either to clear his name and return to Chang'an, or to die without mercy!
Just thinking about how those dolphin-like Goguryeo nobles treated him like a lost dog when he was in Pyongyang City, he felt like his heart was on fire...
Changsun Wuji understood that Changsun Chong was determined to die, and burst into tears. He stretched out his hand to pull up his favorite son, caressed the top of his head, and choked with sobs: "My son can be so ambitious, and it's not enough to be happy for his father. How can you not grant it? As a father, I will go to the palace and ask for His Majesty’s grace even if I kowtow!”
Changsun Chong also shed tears and said: "The child is incompetent, makes his father worry day and night, and still has to bear the infamy. He is really a son of man in vain!"
Changsun Wuji sighed and gritted his teeth.
He knew that this matter not only required His Majesty's grace, but also the Fang family's understanding. Considering the grievances between Chang Sun Chong and Fang Jun, I'm afraid the Fang family would not sit back and watch Chang Sun Chong return to Chang'an. Once Fang Jun or even Fang Xuanling objects to this, even His Majesty will not sit down and make a decision easily.
It's just that he and Fang Xuanling have always been at odds with each other. In recent years, they have turned against each other and become enemies. Asking for intercession is definitely not possible. The only way is to go to the door in person and plead hard.
It's a pity that his eldest son, Wuji, has been stubborn all his life, but when he is old, he has to be humble and soft-spoken to an old rival for the sake of his son's future.
Fang Xuanling is easy to say, even if he is a lifelong rival, he has to praise him as a "gentle gentleman". Even if he rejects him, he will not let his face be peeled off, and he will always step down.
But Fang Jun’s mallet...
"You should stay at home for a few more days. During these two days, you can think about how to ask for this grace from your majesty."
Changsun Wuji had a headache. The thought of being ridiculed and questioned by Fang Jun made him panic.
But he had to ask the Fang family to let go...
Changsun Chong also knew the difficulty of this matter and sobbed: "The child is unfilial and has embarrassed his father."
Changsun Wuji forced a smile and said comfortingly: "Father and son are of the same mind, why is it difficult or not? You just stay in peace, my father will take care of everything for you!"

Academy.
The Golden Crow falls in the west and the Jade Rabbit rises in the east.
In the open space in front of the check-in room, Xu Jingzong looked at the more than ten wine tables in front of him with cups and plates in a mess. After they had had enough wine and food, the dandies were having a lot of fun and actually lit a lot of bonfires. Some of the hundreds of people were lying on the spot drunk, and some were drunk. Hungry, and some inexplicably excited, they sang and danced around the campfire...
Seeing the chaotic dance of the demons and listening to the howling songs of ghosts and wolves, Xu Jingzong only felt that his brain was swelling.
He is worthy of being a dandy in Guanzhong, and he is a group of devils...
Turning around to look at the wine table under a big tree, Fang Jun, Gao Zhenxing and a few dandies were still shouting and changing glasses, their eyes full of resentment.
Just as he thought, he advanced money to buy these dozen tables of food and drinks from Songhe Tower, and Fang Jun didn't even mention when he would pay the bill...
At this time, dozens or hundreds of coins were sent out, and I was afraid that I would lose all my money.
You can still hear a sound if you throw it into the river...
At the wine table, Gao Zhenxing looked at Xu Jingzong who was standing on the stone steps with a resentful look on his face, and smiled in a low voice to Fang Jun: "Erlang, you are so rich that you can't rival the country, why do you want to covet such a small amount of money? This Xu Yuancheng is... He is a notorious miser and this money makes him miserable. You are so unkind.”
Songhe Tower is the most famous restaurant in Chang'an City. In addition to its famously high-end food and drinks, the prices are also notoriously expensive. The Tang Dynasty was not stingy with its officials, and their salaries were very generous. However, officials below the third rank were still afraid to go to Songhe Tower for a drink, let alone more than a dozen tables at once...
Fang Jun glanced at Xu Jingzong and snorted: "There are some people who only care about eating and not fighting. If you treat them harshly, they will beg for mercy. If you treat them better, they will get carried away... Come on, come on. , drink!”
Several people at the table picked up their wine cups and drank them all in one gulp.
Gao Zhenxing ignored Xu Jingzong and wondered in his heart whether Fang Jun's words had any intention of knocking him down. He said, "To be honest, I, Gao Shilang, was not convinced by you in the past. I thought you were just lucky. Married His Majesty's daughter, and got another one Good dad, and with good luck, I achieved this achievement. But last winter you led your army straight out of Baidao and marched across Mobei. Come on, everyone, give a toast to Erlang, and also to those blood-stained deserts. A drink for the soldiers of the North!”
"Respect the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, drink the holy drink!"
"Drinking Saint!"
Several people exchanged drinks with each other.
A young man sitting next to Gao Zhenxing burped from wine, his face was red and he was obviously drunk, and he couldn't speak clearly: "You know, I have dreamed of being a general who can command thousands of troops since I was a child. The hundreds of thousands of tigers and warriors under my command opened up and expanded the territory for our Tang Dynasty, spanning thousands of miles..."
Gao Zhenxing was satisfied with his eloquence and sneered: "Come on! Du Huaigong, you can't even conquer your own wife with your small body, why do you dream of commanding thousands of troops? Hahaha, don't make us laugh out loud!"
Du Huaigong suddenly became anxious and glared: "This is my ambition, why should I laugh at it?"
Gao Zhenxing was also a fool, and he said angrily: "What an ambition!"
Fang Jun quickly stopped this guy. Everyone said that his second roommate was a stick. In fact, in his opinion, this high-minded person is an out-and-out stick. He is a typical brave and foolhardy person who will act when exposed to fire...
Stopping Gao Zhenxing, Fang Jun said with a smile: "If a person has no good will, he will be injured even if he is brave. Without a will, he is like a boat without a rudder or a horse without a title, drifting and running. Where does it stand? Without a will, there will be nothing in the world." There is nothing that can be accomplished without a lot of skills. ”
Du Huaigong was inexplicably grateful and said loudly: "Erlang still knows me!"
Fang Jun laughed and continued: "So, everyone should have lofty ambitions, work hard for them, and persevere despite setbacks. How can we laugh at other people's ambitions at will? Unless... Can’t help it! Hahaha!”
Gao Zhenxing was thinking that this Fang Er was really well-spoken, saying a few random sentences would have an inspiring effect. However, just as he was chewing on these two sentences, he subconsciously took a sip of wine and heard the last sentence.
First he was stunned for a moment, and then he spit out something from his mouth with a "pop" sound. He slapped the table and burst into laughter, almost losing his breath from laughing...
The people at the same table were laughing wildly. This twist was so amazing!
Du Huaigong was already ashamed, and said angrily: "Why did Erlang humiliate me like this? After all, I am also the son-in-law of the British government, and your family and the British government are family friends, and they always have a close relationship. Such humiliation is unacceptable. Does it seem excessive? ”
Although I was extremely annoyed, I was not completely drunk after all, and I did not dare to offend Fang Jun too much in my words...
Fang Jun smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Brother Du misunderstood, it was just a small joke. If there is anything rude, I am willing to be punished!"
With that said, he poured the wine himself and had a drink with Du Huaigong.
Du Huaigong reluctantly raised the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. Although he was annoyed, he knew that Fang Jun was definitely not someone he could offend...
Gao Zhenxing regained his breath at this time and said with a smile: "If others have such ambitions, I will naturally admire you, but you Du Huaigong... Haha, in order to help you gain meritorious service, my British father personally arranged for you to join the army. You are greedy for life and refuse to go. You have completely disgraced me, Guanzhong Erlang. How dare you talk about your ambitions here? "
Fang Jun also heard about this and looked at Du Huaigong with a smile.
Du Huaigong was ridiculed by Gao Zhenxing, but he did not get angry, but sighed quietly...
Fang Jun took a look and said, "Hey, is there a story here?" (End of chapter)
