Chapter 2959 Everything goes wrong


Chapter 2959 Everything goes wrong

While mentioning Fang Jun, the anger in His Majesty Li Er's heart was almost uncontrollable.

As an emperor, how can he remain calm in the face of the current situation of numerous factions and lawlessness in the court? The Tang Dynasty seemed to be extremely prosperous, but there were all kinds of monsters and monsters hidden under the calm water. They often mobilized dead soldiers and troops to assassinate the ministers of the DPRK. This made His Majesty Li Er intolerable.

However, for the sake of the great cause of the Eastern Expedition, no matter how unbearable it is, we have to endure it again and again.

Looking at His Majesty Li Er's somewhat distorted face and the anger bursting out of his eyes, Fang Jun sighed softly and said, "I will obey your Majesty's instructions."

How uncomfortable it is for His Majesty Li Er to hold back now, and how terrifying it will be when this anger breaks out after the Eastern Expedition.

It would be an understatement to say that everything is earth-shaking...

He also wondered, although those guys were sure that His Majesty Li Er would endure it to the end for the sake of the overall situation, were they not afraid that His Majesty Li Er would liquidate them one by one in the future?

Although this emperor often talks about "the monarch and his ministers get along well" and his behavior is very generous, but once his bottom line is touched, he will never be merciful.

None of the emperors who emerged from mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and battles with swords and guns were indecisive, kind-hearted, and kind-hearted. They would kill people without blinking an eye.

What's particularly important is that not only did Changsun Wuji deny that he was not responsible for last night, but His Majesty Li Er also believed that there was someone else who sent troops to assassinate him... So who is the culprit?

His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun's frowning expression and said warmly: "Don't worry about him for now. I will make the decision for you after the Eastern Expedition."

I endured it again and again, but instead of getting back the gratitude of those people, it actually got worse and worse.

In the capital city of Gyeonggi, he actually dared to secretly mobilize troops to assassinate important officials of the imperial court. Do you want to overturn the world? !

*****

Changsun Wuji returned to the mansion in a carriage. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his fourth son, Changsun Yan, walking up quickly. When he came to his side, he whispered: "Father, there is a letter from the third brother!"

Changsun Wuji paused, his eyes slightly focused.

The third son was sent to Damascus by himself. Regardless of whether he could complete the task he assigned, he should return to Chang'an as soon as possible. If the person didn't come back, what would happen if the letter came back?

With a vague premonition in my heart, I walked towards the study and asked, "What did the letter say?"

Changsun Yan followed behind and said, "My son dare not open the third brother's letter without his father's permission."

Although he didn't know what Changsun Jun was doing in his father's name, he could tell from his father's strict seal on some news about Changsun Jun's departure that it must be extremely urgent. Since the eldest brother went into exile and the second brother and the sixth brother died one after another, the father has become more and more strict with the brothers. The slightest carelessness will lead to a beating and scolding. The brothers are cautious and cautious, how can they dare to make their own decisions?

Changsun Wuji was slightly relieved. Changsun Jun's actions were of great importance. Once leaked, the consequences would be disastrous. Even his own son had to be on guard. If one person knew less, the risk of leakage would be reduced.

After entering the study, Changsun Wuji sat on a chair. Changsun Yan looked outside the door and saw no one around. Then he closed the door and came to Changsun Wuji.

"Where's the letter?"

"Here."

He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to his father.

Changsun Wuji took the letter and carefully looked at the sealing seal to make sure it had not been opened. Then he used a knife to open the sealing seal and took out the letter. After unfolding it, I did not check the contents of the letter immediately. Instead, I checked the secret notes on the header, between the lines, and the signature. After confirming them one by one, I sighed and read the contents of the letter at a glance.

His brows suddenly furrowed, and his angry look appeared.

How dare a little Damascus garrison general dare to coerce the legitimate son of the eldest son's family and extort money?

This is simply unreasonable! Especially when he saw the information revealed by Chang Sun Jun on the letter, he was already under someone's control. If there was not enough ransom, his life would be in danger. Chang Sun Wuji was even more frightened and angry, wishing he could send troops to go there. , cut these gangsters into pieces.

But he can't.

Not to mention that the barbarians are unethical and murderous. Seeing that there is no hope of ransom, he just breaks up the matter in anger. If the trouble becomes big and the news spreads, what he is planning cannot be concealed. And once the matter is leaked, the consequences...

The only option is to pay the ransom and settle the matter.

Changsun Wuji had always been decisive. Since he had nowhere to vent his anger, he had nothing to do with those barbarians. He did not bother with these matters. He threw the letter to Changsun Yan and ordered: "You also have a look at this letter, and then go He took out three thousand taels of gold from the warehouse, took the dead soldiers at home, and went to meet Saburo outside Yumen Pass. "

Changsun Yan was startled, three thousand taels of gold?

He doesn't care about the family, so he naturally doesn't know how much money is in the warehouse, but gold has always been precious. A few hundred taels is considered a huge sum of money, let alone three thousand taels? Not to mention whether the eldest son's family can get this wealth, even if they can get it, it will still be a big deal.

This is cash...

After reading the letter, I didn't dare to say anything more. I quickly got up and left, and went to the warehouse to check the gold.

Just kidding, the three brothers have all fallen into the hands of the barbarians. If I keep emphasizing the value of this gold here, what if my father thinks that I am harboring evil intentions and trying to use the hands of the barbarians to get rid of the three brothers? I have already reached my own level. What should I do if I want to inherit the family business?

The eldest brother is in exile. Even if he may return to Chang'an in the future, he may commit a serious crime of treason and will never be able to inherit the family business. The second brother committed suicide in front of his family and has no heirs. If the third brother falls into the hands of barbarians again, he will be the heir apparent.

The motivation is too obvious...

After Changsun Yan left, Changsun Wuji sat in the study, frowning and thinking. After a long time, he called someone in to make a pot of hot tea, and then said to the servant: "Inform the steward and ask him to go to the Duke of Qiao's Mansion with a thorn in my name." , please come to see Duke Qiao and say that you have something important to discuss.”

"Here!"

The servant took the order and quickly turned around and went out.

Changsun Wuji poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. Thinking about Fang Jun’s words just outside the imperial study room, his heart skipped a beat...

After a while, Changsun Yan returned. He entered the study without sitting down and said solemnly: "Father, there are only more than two thousand taels of gold in the warehouse. I wonder if it can be offset by jade articles, treasures, or silver or copper coins of the same value." ?”

Changsun Wuji frowned, but was not surprised.

Gold has always been a hard currency, but its stock is small and its value is too high. It will not be delivered in gold during casual transactions. Therefore, even wealthy families with deep foundations and wealth will not keep too much gold at home.

There are probably not many people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can have more than two thousand taels of gold...

"Silver is definitely not acceptable. At the moment, only the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern countries can deliver copper coins instead. The country of Dashi does not recognize it at all. Copper coins are not acceptable either. The quantity is too large and it is inconvenient to carry. Those barbarians may not be willing to do so. Trouble. The value of the jade treasure is uncertain, and I’m afraid it won’t work either... Go to Guan Longge in person. Family, exchange jade treasures or silver and copper coins for one thousand taels of gold. Don't worry about how much you exchange or how little you exchange. The important thing is to do it quickly. At the same time, everyone is told not to spread the news to avoid getting into trouble. You will take this batch of gold out of the city early tomorrow morning. , bring enough people to go to Yumen Pass to welcome Sanlang back.”

Changsun Yan responded: "My child, let's do it now."

Turn around and exit the study.

Changsun Wuji frowned tightly and took a sip of tea, but found it tasteless. Everything has been going well lately. Maybe I should find a fortune teller to see if I am having a bad year and I am destined to be too old.

As for Chang Sun Jun, he was not too worried. What the Hu people wanted was money. As long as the money was in place, there was no need to kill Chang Sun Jun. After all, no matter whether the Damascus caliphate proceeds as he imagined, this is an opportunity for both parties to communicate, and there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

What he was worried about was still Fang Jun's words.

Yes, if someone assassinated Fang Jun today and framed the blame on himself, then there is no guarantee that someone will not attack the children of the Changsun family tomorrow and framed Fang Jun.

He didn't really care if Fang Jun misunderstood. The two forces were tit for tat and had already become a fire and water. Sooner or later, they would fight to the death. But the problem is that although I have many sons, I have already lost several of them due to various reasons. If someone uses this to blame Fang Jun again, I don’t know which of my sons will be attacked...

I was irritated and worried when I suddenly heard a servant say from outside: "Master, Duke Qiao is here..." (End of Chapter)
