Chapter 2554: Desperate
It rained heavily on the porch.
Changsun Huan raised his head in disbelief and looked at the steward. He felt a chill to his bones and said with a trembling voice, "Father...really said that?"
The steward looked horrified and sighed: "This old slave has taken the courage of a leopard and dare not misrepresent the master's instructions... Now that the master is angry, why don't Erlang leave the house first and find a place to stay temporarily until the situation stabilizes? After the owner’s anger dissipates, it’s not too late to give him another warning. After all, it’s his father and son, can he really drive you out of the house?”
Changsun Huan knelt there stiffly, on the verge of collapse.
Where is this expulsion from home?
Simply let him die!
The whole thing was planned by my father. It stands to reason that even if there is a fault, the fault lies with the father. But at this moment, the family was mentioned repeatedly in his words, obviously telling him that for the sake of the family and the reputation of his eldest grandson Wuji, his eldest grandson Huan must shoulder the responsibility for this crime.
Although it is a bit aggrieved to take responsibility for one's father, it is still the duty of a son of man.
But how could the whole matter be settled by simply driving him out of the house?
Just outside the gate of Zongzheng Temple, he had already thought clearly about the causes and consequences. After this incident, the alliance between the Guanlong nobles is very likely to suffer an unprecedented crisis of trust. If it is not handled properly, it may fall apart tomorrow. .
As the almost predetermined heir of the family, Changsun Huan certainly knows how important the entire Guanlong Group is to the Changsun family. In the process of its rise, the entire Guanlong Group has continuously suppressed and expelled opponents to eliminate them. It has countless enemies, just because Due to the powerful power of the Guanlong Group, those enemies had to swallow their anger and even make concessions.
Once the Guanlong Group collapses and splits, how can those oppressed enemies not take advantage of the situation to fight back?
As the leader of the Guanlong nobles, the Changsun family must bear the brunt...
Changsun Wuji asked him to die to eliminate the anger of the Guanlong nobles in this matter, and then maintain the Guanlong Group.
Seeing Changsun Huan kneeling there without saying a word, his face pale and soulless, the steward couldn't help but said: "Erlang, this is the strict order of the master of the house, no one can resist it... Please forgive me for being rude!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand to the generals behind him and said: "On the order of the head of the family, Erlang will be expelled from the house. Please give Erlang a ride."
"Here!"
Several generals came forward, bowed and saluted: "Erlang, I'm offended!"
After saying that, he picked up Changsun Huan and almost dragged him to the door of the house. Then he let go of his hand. However, Changsun Huan fell to the ground as if his bones had been broken. The rain was pouring on him and he was covered with blood. There are puddles of water, but you don't even notice it.
He knelt down at the foot of the steps in a daze, looking at the majestic courtyard in front of him, his eyes were sour, and he didn't know whether it was the rain or tears flowing down.
He was once so arrogant and ambitious that he once racked his brains to win the title of head of the family. With his intelligence and wisdom, he would push the eldest son's family up a step further and become a Shandong family comparable to those who inherited the poetry and rituals. existence.
To this end, he resorted to any means, even at the expense of his own brothers.
Dreaming back at midnight, he has been tormented by that kind of bone-gnawing regret countless times. However, now, when he was abandoned by his father without hesitation in exchange for the relaxation and understanding of the Guanlong nobles, he suddenly found himself His cruelty and coldness are nothing compared to his father...
He doesn't want to die.
But without the Changsun family, who would he be?
Maybe he can be successful one day without relying on his family, but how many years will it take? Ten years, twenty years, fifty years? During this period, the entire Guanlong nobles will regard him as a traitor, and the rest will laugh at his jokes. The more miserable and desolate he is, the louder those people will laugh.
How could his eldest son, Huan, a man who was upright and upright, be laughed at like a plaything by those treacherous villains?
Compared to this, it’s just a matter of death, so what’s the difficulty!
It's just a pity. I originally thought that after I got the position of the head of the family, I could work hard to catch up with Fang Jun and prevent him from arrogantly rising up in front of me, but I never thought that today I am at the end of my rope and have no other choice...
Kneeling in the rain, Changsun Huan respectfully kowtowed three times to the door.
Although he felt aggrieved and resentful, he could understand his father's decision. If he could not get the understanding of the Guanlong nobles, the alliance would instantly collapse and split. After that, the Changsun family would have to face countless enemies alone, even if Changsun Wuji was in charge. , the tragic end is also doomed.
Sacrificing him in exchange for the survival of the family seems to be a worthwhile deal...
My family has given me birth and raise me for twenty years, giving me glory, wealth, and food. So today, I should die to repay this kindness of raising me.
Changsun Huan was completely disheartened. He silently wiped the water stains in his eyes that were not clear from rain or tears. He straightened his messy clothes, raised his hand to straighten his crown, took a deep breath, stood up, and ran towards The stone lion in front of Changsun's house.
There was a "bang", brain matter burst out, and blood flowed horizontally.
The generals of the eldest grandson family standing in front of the door were all frightened. The head of the family just expelled you from the house. Why are you so staunch and determined to die?
The generals were so frightened that they screamed. Some people ran back to the house to report, while others rushed to the stone lion to seek treatment. When they got closer, they found that the impact was too hard, and the red and white brains flowed freely along the rain. The body was limp and had no breath at all. The legs of several generals were weak, and they were left alone to wait for others. They faced a wall and died, and as servants of the family, their fate was already doomed.
Burial is definitely indispensable...
In the bedroom of the inner house, as the news came in that the family general had committed suicide, the eldest son Huan, the entire eldest son's family seemed to have exploded.
Who would have thought that Erlang, who had basically determined the choice of his master, would end himself in such a violent way?
In the heavy rain, the entire mansion fell into sadness and panic.
Changsun Wuji was lying on the bed, his eyes still closed, but two lines of muddy old tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.
Even if the tiger poison does not eat its children, even if he has already noticed some small tricks of Changsun Huan secretly, the death of Liulang Zhangsuntan is also closely related to him. Even the few widows in Liulang's room are not clear about him, but Zhangsun Wuji never thought of sending Changsun Huan to death.
Even though there are many things that he is not satisfied with and far from meeting his requirements for his descendants, he must admit that among his many descendants, only his eldest grandson Huan can barely afford the eldest grandson's family, and the rest are insignificant. .
However, at this moment, he had to force his most promising son to die in such a way in exchange for the understanding and relaxation of the Guanlong nobles. This made Changsun Wuji sad and filled with humiliation. occupy!
He has been scornful and cruel all his life, and countless people have been forced to death by him. How could he have ever thought that one day, he would follow in the footsteps of those people and force his own son to death in such a shameful way?
As long as he thought about the entire incident and his miscalculation that led to the current desperate situation, he couldn't help but feel regretful.
This anger and regret surged and condensed in his chest. He suddenly sat up, his eyes widened, and he yelled: "I am so angry!"
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes, and fell backwards under the horrified gazes of the family members in the room, unaware of his identity.
There was a sharp scream in the bedroom, and Changsun Huan committed suicide. If Changsun Wuji did something bad again, the entire Changsun family would be in disaster!
All the family members were in a panic and were at a loss. The female relatives in the back house were weeping and wiping away their tears. The men were frightened and had to think about their own future. Various plans were emerging in private. It was quite desolate, as if a building was about to collapse or a tree fell and the monkeys scattered. .
If Changsun Wuji dies, the entire Changsun family will fall apart in an instant...
The imperial doctor came very quickly. At first, he heard that the servants of the Changsun family said that they were suffering from cold and fever. After arriving, they found that the entire Changsun family was in a mess. Changsun Wuji spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and his face was like gold paper. I don’t know the personnel.
The imperial doctor hurriedly made thousands of diagnoses and treatments, took his pulse and checked the symptoms, then took a breath and said to the princes of the eldest grandson family who were accompanying him: "The Duke of Zhao was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted, but his life was not in danger. When I prescribe the prescription, just let Duke Zhao take it on time. Sir, please also note that not only should the diet be light, but the most important thing is to keep Zhao Guogong in a stable mood. He must not be anxious or angry. Otherwise, if he vomits blood again, not only will I be unable to do anything, but the Great Luo Jinxian will come to the world. There is nothing we can do.”
The husbands of the eldest son's family looked at each other. The second brother committed suicide, and the body has not yet been collected. The family is about to face a storm. Under such circumstances, how can the father be calm and calm?
