Chapter 2437 Unknown Motive
Fang Jun looked at Changsun Huan suspiciously, unsure of what this man was thinking.
Is it possible that he knew who was behind the assassination of the dead man?
Even if you knew it, why would you tell yourself?
He would not naively think that Changsun Huan had good intentions. This person was different from Li Siwen, Cheng Chubi and others. The older he got, the more serious his thoughts were. He would do anything to achieve his goals, and he became more and more sinister and cunning like his father. The reason why Fang Jun To draw a clear line and part ways with them, you are afraid of being stabbed in the back without knowing when.
However, now, Changsun Huan actually said that someone else stabbed him in the back...
This inevitably makes people feel a bit inconsistent, and the doubt of "the thief shouts to catch the thief" uncontrollably arises in the mind.
Seeing the undisguised surprise and confusion on Fang Jun's face, Changsun Huan was immediately angry and embarrassed. Was there a time when his character and credibility were so low?
Holding back his displeasure, Chang Sun Huan said: "Yu Wenmiao is seeking the position of Yushi Zhongcheng."
He just said this and stopped abruptly.
But the space for imagination left is extremely broad...
Fang Jun frowned and fell silent.
Yuwen Shiji's eldest son is named Yuwen Chongsi. Now Yuwen Shiji is terminally ill and may die at any time. The Ministry of Rites is drafting various obituaries and awards to honor Yuwen Shiji after his death. He will be given the title of Duke of Ying. Your Majesty has been advised, and it is initially planned to be inherited by Yuwen Chongsi.
The Fang family has always been close to the Yuwen family. Fang Xuanling and Yuwen Shiji were close friends, and Yuwen Chongsi's son Yuwenmiao also had a good relationship with Fang Jun. However, after "taking over the house", he gradually became estranged from his former friends. Among them was Yu Wenmiao.
Another good friend of Fang Jun, Yu Wenjie, was born in a distant branch of the Yuwen family. Both his parents died when he was young, and his life was difficult. It was Yuwen Chongsi who vigorously supported and cultivated him, and he was able to sit in the official position of Zuo Cheng, the minister of justice, and become a young man. One of the best of a generation.
Yu Wenmiao was a frank and honest person, with a bright and graceful appearance, and he was very popular.
It is conceivable that once Yuwenmiao ascends to the position of Yushi Zhongcheng with the full support of the Yuwen family, he will surely become one of the leading figures among the younger generation, with a bright future and a prosperous official career.
Of course, regardless of ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, almost all people have been separated from their own nature once they are involved in politics. Either voluntarily or forced, they will make various decisions that are contrary to their nature to cater to their needs. The pursuit of interests.
Today we are drinking at the same table, and tomorrow we draw swords against each other, there are too many to mention.
If Yu Wenmiao or even Yu Wenjie was the mastermind of the assassination, Fang Jun would not be surprised. For the sake of profit, even brothers and sisters can be killed. How much does a mere good friend count?
However, Fang Jun thought about it again and again, and he really couldn't think of a reason why Yu Wenmiao would do this while Yu Wenjie was still alive.
As long as there are interests, it is normal to turn against one another and turn against Qin and Mu Chu. This is the motive.
On the contrary, if there is no conflict of interest, then for politicians, even an ant on the roadside will not stretch out a finger to crush it, so as not to get into trouble...
No motive.
He looked at Changsun Huan with confusion and said slowly: "Your Changsun family is going too far now. Changsun and Yuwen are from the same family, and now they have formed an alliance to help each other. Brother Changsun betrayed his allies like this. Is it possible? Aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed by the world, and are you not afraid that the Guanlong nobles will become estranged and become enemies? ”
Changsun Huan smiled bitterly and said: "Not afraid of Erlang's jokes, the Guanlong nobles who are regarded by the outside world as a savage beast are actually by no means monolithic. It's just because their father's prestige is suppressed by force, so they have to gather together in a seemingly incoherent way. People are selfish, The pursuit of profit is the characteristic of the clan, and Longwang Shu, never being satisfied is a common trait of all people. Under the leadership of his father, the Guanlong nobles have dominated the court for many years. Now that they are a little weak, some people are unwilling to stand up and want to replace their father. This The one who danced the most happily was Yuwen Chongsi. ”
Fang Jun nodded silently, agreeing with Changsun Huan's words.
Everyone knows that the human heart is like a snake swallowing an elephant. This is a truth that no one can escape. Even the traffickers and lackeys understand the insight of contentment, but they still look at the mountains. What you can’t get will last forever. Considered the best…
Once upon a time, the Yuwen family had the most power among the Guanlong nobles. Presumably, the Yuwen family, the eldest grandson's family, the Dugu family, and even the Yu family and Hou Mochen family were all just younger brothers.
The Yuwen family reached its peak in the hands of Yu Wenhuaji. This former powerful official of the Sui Dynasty killed Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and established himself as emperor. His founding name was "Xu", and he almost divided the world and established the most prosperous era of the Yuwen family. However, under the attack of all forces, Yuwen Wenji's regime collapsed in an instant, and the Yuwen family fell into the abyss.
I haven’t been able to catch my breath for many years...
Now seeing that the eldest son's family has become the leader of the Guanlong nobles because of their merits as a dragon, how can the Yuwen family be willing to stay dormant and remain humble?
The more we have experienced the bright and glorious years, the more unbearable it is to endure the dark and decadent decadence.
Yuwen scholars and literati have too strong habits and abandon government affairs as if they were old shoes. As long as it does not involve the survival of the Yuwen family, they are absolutely unwilling to get involved in those court battles. The hope for the rise of the Yuwen family cannot be borne by him, so it can only be inherited by his son after his death.
The next generation head of the Yuwen family is Yuwen Chongsi.
If Yuwen Chongsi wants to fight hard under the oppression of the Changsun family and regain his past glory, he must do something to muddy the waters before he can fish in troubled waters. Otherwise, under normal development and step by step, he will never be able to replace the Changsun family. Of.
But Fang Jun still couldn't figure it out. How could the Yuwen family kill the Changsun family if he killed himself?
If he framed the Changsun family, it would be understandable to pin the person behind his assassination on the Changsun family. However, the place where the ballista was found and the coin molds were found was Qiu Xinggong’s ancestral home...
Qiu Xinggong and the Changsun family had already severed their ties and parted ways, but there was still a rough relationship between the two!
I don’t understand...
It's a pity that Changsun Huan stopped talking and refused to say more. He stood up and said, "Erlang is still seriously injured, so I won't bother you anymore. I hope that Erlang will take good care of his injuries. After he recovers, I will hold a banquet to invite you." Get drunk together.”
After saying this, he bowed and said goodbye.
Fang Jun was very depressed, but he couldn't force someone to stay. He tied him up and asked your mother. It would explain so much...
He could only say: "Brother Zhangsun is very interested. Please forgive me for not being able to send him off."
Changsun Huan said: "No need to do this, leave."
Fang Jun nodded in greeting, watched the eldest Sun Huan go out, and said to Qiao'er in front of the bed: "Go and call Mei Niang over. I have something to ask my father."
"Yeah."
Qiao'er responded obediently and quickly stood up and walked out.
At home, it is not strange for everyone that Lang Jun discusses things with Wu Meiniang from time to time. In fact, everyone in the family from top to bottom is convinced of Wu Meiniang's ability to handle things. Even Fang Xuanling sometimes deliberately listens to Wu Meiniang's opinions. ……
Not long after, Wu Meiniang walked in lightly, and when she saw Fang Jun still half-sitting on the bed, with his upper body still exposed, she immediately said angrily: "You are a very old man, and you still don't care about your body so much." , What should I do if I get cold? Even though it is midsummer, the sick body is most susceptible to wind evil, which is no joke. "
Fang Jun laughed and followed the rules, letting Wu Meiniang put on a single piece of clothing, then removed the pillow from his waist and lay down on the bed obediently.
Wu Meiniang took a fan, sat sideways on the bedside, snuggled next to Fang Jun, fanning the wind gently, and asked softly: "Mr. Lang called me over, what are your orders?"
Fang Jun said: "How dare you give orders to Madam Wu? You are now the eldest sister of the dock in the south of the city. Thousands of people under your command are working for you. With just one word from you, half of Chang'an city will change. Once you get angry, the whole city will change." The south of the city is covered in blood and corpses are everywhere!”
"Poof!"
Wu Meiniang was teased so much by Fang Jun that although she didn't understand what the weird title "eldest sister" meant, it sounded like a joke. She laughed so hard that she gasped and said: "Don't tease me, Erlang, Emperor." Only when I am angry can I bleed. Do you think I am a queen? ”
Fang Jun thought: Isn't that what you are doing? It's just that they came "indiscriminately" and hindered your future...
After a few jokes between the couple, Fang Jun got down to business and clearly repeated what Sun Huan had just said. At the end, he said in confusion: "My husband really can't think of anything that would benefit them at all from the Yuwen family to assassinate someone." What are the benefits to the Fang family?"
