Chapter 2498 The Revenge of Killing a Son
Chapter 342: The Revenge of Killing a Son
A war in the Western Region stirred up the chaos in the court, and the entire city of Chang'an became lively. All forces came on stage and made plans freely.
Only the Duke of Shen's mansion was quiet, and the entire mansion was shrouded in linen and white banners...
Gao Shilian has six sons, but he only loves Silang Gao Zhenxing, who has been unruly and unruly since childhood. Even though Gao Zhenxing gets into trouble and misbehaves everywhere, he never gives up his intention to cultivate him. At first, he had a conflict with Fang Jun and then continued His leg was broken, and Gao Shilian was so angry that he almost went to Fang's house to seek an explanation from Fang Xuanling.
When Zhi Gao Zhenxing insisted on going to the Western Regions Army to gain experience, he made Gao Shilian beam with joy. Everyone he met said that Shiro had finally realized his lost ways and corrected his evil ways. In a few years, he would be my "Thousand-mile Horse".
Now that the imperial court awards and the Ministry of War awards have entered the government together, Gao Zhenxing has indeed not lost the reputation of the Bohai Gao family, but he has gained all this with his life...
It is said that the person who announced the funeral had just entered the mansion. After hearing the news, Gao Shilian immediately fainted and fell to the ground. He was so frightened that everyone in the mansion was frightened. He finally regained consciousness under the treatment of the imperial doctor, but he did not say a word. There are old tears.
How painful is it to lose a child in old age?
Especially after learning that his beloved son was framed by others, so he died fighting without being rescued in time...
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is heart-wrenching.
Sun Guang, the general of the Ministry of War, was snatched away from Weiwei Temple. He was interrogated and convicted overnight. The canonical execution was announced early the next morning. At that time, Gao Shilian led several of his sons to stand outside the execution ground wearing sackcloth and mourning. They gritted their teeth and watched Chang Sun Guang wailing while being tied up. Although he begged for mercy, his head was still shown to the public, and then he returned to the mansion for mourning.
The funeral of Gao Mansion should have been a major event in Chang'an City, but Gao Shilian was heartbroken and angry, and strictly ordered his family not to publish obituary notices, and the tomb of Shi Lang was not allowed to be placed in the ancestral grave. When will the details of Shi Lang's tragic death be revealed? The truth was revealed, the real enemy was captured and brought to justice, and Shiro's belongings were put to rest.
Everyone who knew the inside story felt Gao Shilian's deep hatred...
Therefore, the funeral in Gaofu was not considered extravagant. Only those who were very close came to express condolences. Officials from the DPRK and China who were more estranged only came to express their grief and then left.
I don’t know whether it was because he had a ghost in his heart, he was afraid to face the hated Gao Shilian, or for some other reason. It was not until the evening of the next day after Gao Shilian’s funeral that the eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian’s nephew, came to express his condolences...
The whole family was saddened by the tragic death of Shi Lang, but no one knew the truth behind it. When they saw Changsun Wuji coming to express their condolences, although they were dissatisfied with why they could not come to the door immediately as a close relative, they still respectfully took Changsun Wuji with them. Before the spirit.
Changsun Wuji was dressed in plain robes, with a solemn face, he bowed before offering incense, and was then led into the back hall to meet Gao Shilian.
It had been a long time since we had seen him. The old man who was once healthy and healthy was now exhausted. Sitting on the chair, he seemed to have lost his life. Only when he saw Changsun Wuji, a bright light burst out in his eyes.
Changsun Wuji stepped forward to salute and said respectfully: "My nephew pays homage to my uncle."
"Huh..."
Gao Shilian grinned slightly and made a sound that sounded like a smile but not a smile. He raised his hand slightly and said, "It's an auxiliary engine. Why, are you here to see your cousin off on his last journey?"
Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Silang died tragically, and my nephew felt the same. It's just that Silang sought kindness and died on the battlefield. Even if he died, he would not fall into the Gao family. He should be regarded as one of the billions of sons of our Tang Dynasty." A role model, even though he died with great honor, please express my condolences to my uncle.”
Gao Shilian stared at Changsun Wuji with gloomy eyes, and said in a solemn voice: "Isn't it an honor to die... Then why is it that your children are not the ones who died?"
Changsun Wuji's expression changed.
This is not a very particular thing to say. Although you are your uncle and I am your nephew, my eldest son, Wuji, is now higher in official positions and titles than you. There is a death in your family, so why should you take out your grievances on me?
Gao Shilian turned a blind eye to his expression and said to himself: "Changsun Chong committed a serious crime of treason and deserved death, but you still tried every means to clear him of his guilt, even at the expense of quarreling with the Fang family. Why did you Why don't you kidnap him personally and take him to the execution ground? Oh, by the way, I forgot, my Shiro refused to retreat in the face of a powerful enemy and was isolated. With no help and no body left, he can be regarded as a great man, and his death will be an honor. But if that evil beast of yours dies now, he will be blamed by thousands of people and will die unjustly...Tsk, tsk, your eldest grandson has always been a member of the same family. Rebellious ministers and traitors are used to it. Such unfaithful, unjust, unkind and unfilial people are not uncommon, but we are used to it.”
All the servants of the Gao family in the hall lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, not daring to say a word.
Looking at the world, Gao Shilian is probably the only one who dares to insult the Changsun family in person...
Changsun Wuji's face was extremely ugly, but he did not get angry. He said calmly: "My uncle always comes here to lose his son, and he is heartbroken with grief. My nephew can understand. My nephew came here today to express his condolences, and he was the culprit who caused Shiro's death. He is also a descendant of my eldest son's family. My nephew feels extremely ashamed. I will accept any scolding from my uncle willingly."
Filial piety is a universal virtue.
Gao Shilian was the uncle of Changsun Wuji, and he raised and cultivated him carefully when he was young. He was like father and son, and he was kind and reborn. No matter what Gao Shilian said or did today, Changsun Wuji did not listen or accept it. If he was unwilling and wanted to resist, it would be unfilial.
Once this charge is confirmed, it will have a huge blow to Changsun Wuji's reputation, and his political opponents in the court will definitely make a fuss about it.
Therefore, since entering the house, although Gao Shilian's words were extreme, he had always accepted them meekly and never refuted.
Gao Shilian did not accept his kindness and sneered: "Don't think that your seemingly kind face can hide it from the world. What kind of person is Changsun Guang? If there is no one behind him, he dares to ignore the military aircraft. Sit back and watch the message that Pao Ze sacrificed his life to deliver , not only took the credit for himself, but even concealed it, and watched Paoze die tragically under the enemy's sword because he was isolated and helpless, with no bones left? Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts. Although no one can tell it at this time, everyone knows it. .”
This is to force the death of Gao Zhenxing onto Changsun Wuji...
Although Changsun Wuji really ordered this matter, he absolutely cannot admit it. Changsun Wuji looked at Gao Shilian who was gritting his teeth with anger and hatred, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, be careful, the court has its own laws, and everything must be based on evidence. . You are going too far by slandering me without any basis. Uncle, if you have a favor for me, I dare not disobey it even if it is a sword or an ax. But what benefit does it have to slander my reputation in the death of Shiro? A case is being filed for investigation, why bother making insinuations and defiling people’s innocence?”
"Innocent?"
Gao Shilian looked at Changsun Wuji's innocent look and felt extremely hateful in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't know what to do, you can do nothing but yourself. There are so many unfounded things in this world. Is it possible that no one knows the truth behind it?" I, Gao Shilian, am blind. Why didn’t I see through this ambitious beast like you? But don’t worry, as long as I don’t die, the real murderer will be found to settle the matter.”
< br>
He naturally knew that without evidence, Changsun Wuji could not be prosecuted at all. Even if there was evidence, how could he accuse the head of the Sun family, the leader of the Guanlong nobles, and the greatest hero of the Tang Dynasty?
This tone can only be tolerated, and this revenge can only be avenged in the future.
Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment, then bowed and said: "Since my uncle has misunderstood me, I don't dare to bother with him anymore, so as not to make my uncle angry... I would like to express my condolences and take care of myself. Please take my leave for the time being."< br>
Gao Shilian had closed his eyes and ignored him.
He firmly believed that Gao Zhenxing's death was closely related to Changsun Wuji, but his enemy was powerless for a while. He was afraid that he would bite the beast to death if he took another look at it!
Changsun Wuji bowed his arms to the ground, stood up, turned around and walked out of the main hall.
Just as I walked to the door, I heard a clutter of footsteps outside the door, and a servant said: "Fang Shaobao has come to express his condolences. Please inform Erlang immediately."
Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, and walked quickly towards the door. As soon as he walked out of the door, he heard someone shouting: "It turns out to be Zhao Guogong, I will give you a courtesy!"
Changsun Wuji had no choice but to stop and follow the sound, and saw Fang Jun, wearing a black straight jacket, standing on the side of the door and bowing to him...
"It turns out that it's Fang Shaobao. He doesn't have any gifts or gifts. Did he come to Gaofu to express his condolences?"
Changsun Wuji stood with his hands behind his back, smiling, looking like an elder. (End of chapter)
