Chapter 3855 The past is over
Princess Changle stared at the Crown Princess and blinked slightly, a little suspiciously.
Although the Crown Princess is a bit strong and not that gentle and soft-tempered, she is usually not one to gossip. Why did she say so many bad things about the eldest son's family in front of her today?
This is not like her personality, there must be some other reason...
When the Crown Princess saw Chang Le staring at her, she also knew that Chang Le had always been smart, so she might have guessed her intention, so she stopped beating around the bush and said straight to the point: "His Royal Highness asked me to come here."
Princess Changle became more and more strange, and she asked in a clear voice: "What is going on?"
The Crown Princess sighed, held Princess Changle's hand, looked at her expression, and said slowly: "Just now, 'Baiqisi' came to report that the eldest grandson Chong suddenly fell ill in prison and died violently..." …His Royal Highness is afraid that you will be sad, so he asked me to come over and look at you and give you some comfort.”
One night and a hundred nights of kindness between husband and wife, no matter how many grievances and hatreds they have had, they are still a husband and wife. Now that Changsun Chong has passed away in such a tragic way, Princess Changle must be feeling sad.
Princess Changle was stunned for a moment, her pretty face became whiter, her brows jumped slightly, then she lowered her eyes, her beautifully shaped lips pursed tightly, and the delicate hand held by the Crown Princess subconsciously tightened, then reacted and quickly let go ……
The Crown Princess noticed the shock in her heart and comforted her with gentle words: "Why do you need to feel sad about those ruthless and unjust people? If Queen Wende was still here, I am afraid she would not allow you to be treated harshly by Changsun Chong. Will support Heli. Besides, Changsun Chong started a rebellion with his father, and he is actually a rebellious official. Even if the prince tolerates him for your sake, How could the national laws and regulations be tolerated? Back then, His Majesty was grateful to Queen Wende for being very fond of him, so he allowed him to go into exile. However, the moment Changsun Chong sneaked back to Chang'an and launched a rebellion, he was bound to die. A ruthless, unfaithful and unfilial person deserves to die, and you really can’t afford to feel sad for him.”
She had always scorned Chang Sun Chong, even before Chang Sun Chong failed in his rebellion and went into exile.
Men must not only have status and family background, but also have talent and responsibility. Status and family background determines social class, while talent and responsibility determine lifetime achievements. Changsun Chong had an extremely prominent family background, and was favored by Queen Wende. His status and background could be said to be that he was definitely the first among the younger generation. Logically speaking, he should be able to show his talents and make contributions in his official career.
But what is the reality?
At a young age, he was appointed as the eunuch of the palace. He was regarded as the personal assistant of His Majesty Li Er, and he was envied by many people. As a result, this person did nothing and did nothing under the eyes of His Majesty Li Er. After the death of Queen Wende, His Majesty Li Er continued to favor her and promoted and appointed her. He even handed over the "Shenji Battalion" established by Fang Jun to Chang Sun Chong, which aroused the displeasure of both the government and the public.
However, Changsun Chong only spent a few months, excluding dissidents and installing cronies, and forcibly destroyed such a powerful army that had followed Fang Jun in the Puchang Sea to defeat the Turkic Wolf Cavalry, and tore it into pieces and lost all combat power. , ability is evident.
At the very least, it must be far inferior to Fang Jun...
It is also said that she resented the prince and angered Changle because of her physical disability. She regarded Princess Changle, the beloved eldest daughter of the royal family, as a punching bag. She treated her with sarcastic words and cold expressions every day, and even treated her with all kinds of suspicion and insults. .
How could such a man be worthy of the beautiful and intelligent Princess Changle?
……
Princess Changle lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes flickering for a while, trying hard to calm down the ups and downs in her heart. Just when she was about to open her mouth to speak, a string of clear tears suddenly fell from her eyes, across her fair and smooth face, and fell on the skirt of her clothes.
Although Changsun Chong treated her too harshly and even had murderous intentions at one time, she never really resented Changsun Chong. She attributed everything to Changsun Chong's disability, which led to evil intentions and was definitely not a cold nature.
It seems natural for an inhumane husband to be suspicious of and take precautions against his beautiful wife...
If you say it is love, it is actually very weak. There is absolutely no love between man and woman. What is left is only the memory of living for several years.
But despite this, when I suddenly heard the news that Chang Sun Chong died violently in prison, I still couldn't bear the sadness and sadness in my heart, and I couldn't help but shed tears.
Of course, she also understands that the so-called "sudden illness" is just an excuse, and the truth is actually a bit cruel...
The Crown Princess held Princess Changle's hand and comforted her with gentle words.
She had always felt that among the princesses in the royal family, the most outstanding one was Princess Changle. She was a beautiful person, smart and elegant, but she was trapped in a political alliance and became like a commodity. If you meet a well-behaved husband, you may be able to live a peaceful life and enjoy all the glory.
Unexpectedly, he met Chang Sun Chong, a man with a heart as high as the sky and a life as thin as paper. After getting married, he became a widow. He was divorced at a young age. Now he is following Fang Jun and never sees the light of day. His whole life's happiness has been ruined. Now...I feel more and more that Princess Changle is pitiable.
Princess Changle wiped away her tears, forced a smile, and said: "In the past, I have thought about whether he would encounter something unexpected one day while living in exile. At that time, I felt that this person was extremely hateful. Even if his death was miserable, I would probably not be able to do it. I feel sad...but now that I heard it suddenly, I still can’t hold back my tears. It’s useless for me.”
The princess smiled and said: "How do you say this? This shows that you are a kind person. Even if your eldest grandson ruins your life, you still refuse to curse him to die a good death. This kind of heart is the most rare. Don't think about it. There are too many, some people have some things, let them go. We have to live well and look forward to everything, right? ”
Princess Changle nodded slightly.
Yes, those embarrassing pasts have disappeared and gone with the wind. Now, although she follows Fang Jun and cannot show it openly in front of others, she deeply loves this man. She is extremely satisfied with the current situation, so why bother about the past anymore?
Happiness needs to be enjoyed, pain should be let go.

The wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the stars were shining brightly.
The war in Taiji Palace has temporarily ceased, and the next crazy attack of the Guanlong army is brewing. The six leaders of the East Palace are gearing up and waiting for the danger. They are in the short calm before the storm. However, all over Guanzhong, the private armies stationed in various places have suffered from attacks. Yu Youtunwei's crazy attack.
Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, Sun Renshi, and General Xin Mao each commanded a thousand light cavalry and launched a sweep against the private armies of various clans and clans.
Although there are many private soldiers of various clans stationed in various places, with the number mostly exceeding three to five thousand or even seven to eight thousand, these private armies temporarily gathered by various clans lack training, lack of weapons and weapons, and most of them are in a desperate situation when they have run out of food and supplies. When it was stable, facing the elite troops of Youtun Guards who were armed to the teeth, there was almost no resistance.
Overnight, four clan private armies were wiped out. Although the entire army was not wiped out, the soldiers who fled in panic were rescued by other private armies. However, this atmosphere of fear quickly spread, and the private armies of each clan could not sit still. Lived.
No one is confident that they can stand firm against Youtunwei's surprise attack. Everyone knows that Youtunwei is a powerful army that can defeat the direct troops of Guanlong. Now it is clear that they will wipe out all the private armies in Guanzhong. Who can still sit still?
Countless envoys swarmed into Chang'an City and went straight to Yanshoufang, hoping that the Guanlong clan could give everyone an explanation: Why didn't they distribute grain? Why not reinforce ordnance? Why not send troops to support?
Of course, the most important question is—we want to leave but can’t. What should you do, Guan Long?
These clan members either came to support Changsun Wuji's bad feet and came voluntarily to form a "good relationship" so that they could have further exchanges of interests with the Guanlong clan in the future; or they were coerced and lured by Changsun Wuji, under the pretext of The little idea of fishing in troubled waters to grab profits... But unexpectedly, one mistake made him regret for eternity. He didn't get the benefits, but he stepped into the big pit in Guanzhong and couldn't extricate himself.
Naturally, they were angry, angry and regretful. They could only hold on to the straw of Guanlong, try to climb out of this pit, and quickly return to their respective territories. Otherwise, once all these private armies were destroyed in Guanzhong, what would happen to all the clans? The control over one's own territory will have a devastating blow.
Without the private army, what can we use to fight against the local government and garrison?
At that time, with an order from the imperial court, the troops stationed in various places will be able to uproot them, and the foundation that the clan relies on to monopolize politics and dominate one party will completely collapse... (End of Chapter)
