Chapter 3210: Evil thoughts
Li Junxian returned to Xingqing Palace and reported everything about the Wei family. Li Chengqian was so shocked that his eyes widened and he said: "She...she...actually committed suicide by taking poison?"
Li Junxian said: "There is no doubt that what Mrs. Taichangqing took was the poison that caused the opportunity and the red crane's crown. The symptoms are confirmed."
For a "Hundred Qisi" commander, he is exposed to countless poisons all day long. Among the aristocratic families in Chang'an City, the most despicable and insidious tricks such as taking poison and poisoning are forbidden. The symptoms are well understood.
"..." Li Chengqian sighed and was speechless.
Although the murder of Fang Jun was very abominable, after all, the matter had not reached that stage, and Fang Jun still had to finish everything, so why did he force the Changsun family to death?
He was born in the Prince of Qin's Mansion and later grew up in a deep palace. He may not know the sufferings of the world, but he is very familiar with such sinister and vicious tactics. Just after hearing this, he guessed the details behind Changsun's death, and became even more dissatisfied with Wei Ting.
Although the Changsun family will inevitably die if the matter is investigated, it is too cruel for you as a husband to force your wife to take poison and commit suicide to save yourself...
Li Chengqian has always disliked such ruthless people. In his opinion, people are not ruthless, and couples who share the same bed should help each other and grow old together. Even if they make a big mistake, it is the husband who has to stand up. How can I let my wife drink up a glass of poisonous wine instead of protecting my wife?
Too cool and cruel.
Li Junxian added: "Your Highness clearly knows that the Wei family has no foundation in the army. Even if they intend to collaborate with the enemy to treason and murder the Duke of Yue, they are powerless."
There are some things that cannot be talked about without evidence, so he just expressed his suspicions so that His Highness the Crown Prince could fully understand and know the key point of the whole matter.
But some things don’t actually require evidence. As long as the logic and reasoning are clear, the answer is clear...
Li Chengqian naturally understood what Li Junxian meant. He nodded slowly at first, then shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "At present, the government is in turmoil and the capital is unstable, so we cannot go to war. Later, let the palace prepare three feet of white silk for you. Sending it to the Wei family in person is a sign of compassion from the Tian family.”
Li Junxian was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said: "Here."
The outside world said that the prince was weak and not decisive enough, so he was not a Ming Dynasty master. However, in Li Junxian's view, it was more appropriate to say that the prince was kind rather than weak.
This is a prince with an extremely sensitive and fragile mind. He is prone to collapse when under pressure and makes some unbelievable acts of revenge, but most of them are just revenge on himself.
However, no matter what time, he always has kind thoughts in his heart, treats everyone around him kindly, and will even cry sadly over the death of a slave and maidservant...
When the country was founded, there were many wastes waiting to be revitalized. Naturally, it was necessary for heroes like Your Majesty to have great talents, great strategies, and decisive killings to overcome all obstacles and lay the foundation for the prosperous age of the empire.
However, when the prosperous times come in the future, with flourishing flowers and beautiful scenery, what is needed is a benevolent master like the prince...
Li Junxian finally understood why Fang Jun did not choose the upright, wise and courageous King of Wu, nor the talented and intelligent King of Wei, and even dismissed the benevolent, filial, loyal, smart and obedient King of Jin...
Such a benevolent lord is the best choice to inherit the prosperous age of Zhenguan and safeguard the prosperous society.
……
The eldest grandson's family.
In the study, Changsun Yan knelt down and sat at the main seat, holding in his hand the letter his father sent back from Liaodong and reading it word by word. On the left and right, Changsun Wen, Changsun Jing, Changsun Xun, Changsun Zhan, Changsun Jin and others. All the adult brothers sat quietly.
The young eldest Sunze and eldest Sunrun are not qualified to attend such a family meeting...
After a long while, Changsun Yan just put down the letter, but he did not intend to pass it to the brothers for circulation. Instead, he carefully folded the letter paper and stuffed it into the envelope.
Then he glanced at the brothers and said in a deep voice: "Due to the death of my third brother, my father was extremely grieved, which damaged his roots, and his body was not as good as before. And now he is on the march with the army. Even though the imperial doctor often diagnoses and treats him, his condition is getting worse. My father told us not to take matters into our own hands. The most important thing is to do this at this critical moment. The eldest brother is currently in Pingrang City. He is trusted by Yuan Gai Siwen and has been adopted as his son-in-law. He has thousands of soldiers and is entrusted with important tasks. He only waits for the army to attack Pyongyang City. If we can cooperate internally and externally to achieve outstanding achievements, the day of returning to Chang'an will not be far away."
Changsun Wen said excitedly: "Great! The eldest brother was framed by a traitor and had to go into exile. He really suffered too much and our brothers have no backbone. As long as the eldest brother comes back, he will definitely bring us prosperity. We can no longer watch Fang Er showing off his power!”
Several brothers all agreed. Although Changsun Chong made a big mistake, they always believed that it was Fang Jun who used treacherous tricks to frame their eldest brother. Moreover, Changsun Chong is not only older, but also the eldest brother. He has always had great prestige among the brothers. Now that I heard that he will return to Chang'an soon, how can we not be overjoyed?
Only Zhang Sunyan could barely smile, feeling uneasy.
Although Changsun Chong was pardoned by His Majesty and returned to Chang'an, he was definitely not qualified to become the head of the family due to the serious crimes he had committed in the past. Even holding an official position was a luxury, but Changsun Chong's prestige among his brothers has not disappeared since he was a child. , and his father's love for him has not diminished even a little.
As long as the eldest grandson comes back, he will still be the backbone of the next generation of the eldest grandson family.
Even if he can become the head of the family as he wishes, with the recognition of Changsun Chong within the Changsun family and the entire Guanlong clan, he will still firmly control the power of the Changsun family, and he, the head of the family, can only be a puppet.
No one wants to be used as a puppet...
But no matter how unhappy I felt, I couldn't express this emotion. Since his second brother, third brother, and sixth brother died one after another, my father attaches great importance to whether his sons can be respectful and loving to each other. If his little thoughts are found out, he is afraid that he will be reprimanded immediately. The position of the head of the family cannot be guaranteed.
If you don’t want to be a puppet, you have to occupy that position first, otherwise you won’t even have a chance to be a puppet...
Of course, the most ideal situation is that while his father is in Liaodong and his eldest brother has not yet returned, he can make a great contribution and make his position secure. Even if his eldest brother returns to Chang'an in the future, he will have enough Its strength and reputation are on par with it.
And if you want to make great achievements and enhance your prestige, you naturally cannot lead an army to go on an expedition like Fang Jun. He does not have the ability to wait for the enemy to fight, nor is he qualified to lead troops, so he can only hope that Chang'an will be in chaos.
Opportunities will appear only when the situation is chaotic.
Whether it is King Jing's group, or the Guanlong clan behind the Changsun family, or even the civil servants and generals in the court today, all of them are people with ulterior motives and opportunists. As long as the chaos continues, these people will definitely not Will miss the opportunity to catch millet from the fire.
And the beginning of the chaos...
Changsun Yan was convinced that the chess piece he had arranged in advance would definitely work. As long as the Wei family was involved, it would be a huge storm!
As for whether the eldest grandson's family will be involved... If His Majesty Li Er is now in Chang'an, he would not dare to do this if he lends eldest grandson Yan two courages. However, His Majesty is now in Liaodong and is beyond reach, and everything must be stable in the overall situation. Where is Li Chengqian? Do you have the guts?
Thinking of this, I felt determined and warned several brothers: "The situation in Chang'an has been unstable recently. You should not cause trouble outside. It is best to stay at home and avoid going out. Whether the eldest brother can return to Chang'an smoothly does not only depend on how many meritorious deeds he has made. I I can’t wait for my family either The incident caused His Majesty to feel disgusted. My father is far-sighted and is accompanying me on the expedition to Liaodong. He is also well aware of the situation in Chang'an. If my father blames you for causing trouble, I will not excuse you."
The excitement of the brothers because of Changsun Chong's imminent return suddenly diminished, and they quickly obeyed without daring to raise any objections.
It’s just that I can’t help but feel dissatisfied in my heart.
Changsun Wuji has always been a high-ranking and difficult-to-reach existence. It seems that there has never been a harmonious scene between father and son. His outstanding prestige makes all the disciples fear Changsun Wuji. At ordinary times, he is like a mouse in front of Changsun Wuji. It's like seeing a cat. Only Changsun Chong could sit together with Changsun Wuji to discuss matters, which gave Changsun Chong a high prestige among brothers, and everyone was convinced.
After Changsun Chong fled, Changsun Huan, the eldest son of a concubine, gained the respect of his father again. Although he is not as legitimate as Chang Sun Chong, who is the eldest son, Chang Sun Huan has outstanding talents and is approachable, and he is deeply convinced by all his brothers.
As for Chang Sun Jun and even Chang Sun Yan later...
At this moment, a servant outside the door asked to see him, and Changsun Yan agreed. After the servant came in, he looked a little angry and bowed: "The Wei family came to report the funeral just now, saying that Mrs. Taichangqing died violently, and... the person reporting the funeral said that Taichangqing asked you, Shiro, to come to express condolences in person, and to Kowtow to Mrs. Taichangqing’s soul..."
All the brothers in the Changsun family were stunned. (End of chapter)
