What’s going on with Changsun Pingting? How could Changsun Wuji, a father, not know?
And as a father, how can he feel better when he sees his daughter being humiliated?
It's just that he has been holding back and keeping silent.
Because he believed that with Li Shimin's character, he would definitely stand up and speak out.
However, even he himself did not expect that Li Ke would go so far, from being indifferent at the beginning to directly taking action in the end.
Once you take action, it is really not the same concept as being left out.
But as a courtier, he could only wait for Li Shimin to deal with this matter. .??.
As the direct offender of Tianyan, Changsun Chong will be punished no matter what.
So as soon as he arrived at home, Changsun Wuji had someone severely enforce the family laws on him, and then threw him into the woodshed and locked him up for a whole day.
At noon on Shuri day, Changsun Wuji had someone let him out.
Changsun Chong knelt on the porch outside the house.
Changsun Wuji, on the other hand, was sitting in the room with an angry look on his face.
After a long time, he angrily pointed at Changsun Chong and reprimanded: "How brave do you have to lead people to forcefully break into the Prince of Shu's palace?"
"Do you know what this crime is?"
"This is going to make the whole family lose their heads together."
Changsun Wuji held his forehead with a headache and said: "I just praised you a few times yesterday, and you have caused such a big trouble for me. Please let me say something about you."
He forced his way into the prince's palace and even had a conflict with the prince.
It would be okay if Li Shimin didn't pursue this matter, but if he did, it would be the crime of killing his whole family.
And this is not something Li Shimin can control.
In the end, I'm afraid it depends on what the people in the court say.
Therefore, no matter what happens, Changsun Chong's fate will almost never be better. Even if he survives, he will still have to shed his skin.
At this time, Changsun Wuji was also worried.
"Father, don't worry."
"If one person does something for one person, one person will be responsible for it."
"Your Majesty, if you want to hit or punish, kill or behead, just attack one person." Even after being beaten, Changsun Chong still didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
He cupped his hands towards Changsun Wuji and said, "But I still have to say one thing."
"Although my sister is a married daughter, she is still a member of our eldest grandson's family, and she is still my sister."
"As long as I am here, I will not allow anyone to bully her."
Just when Changsun Wuji was about to scold him, he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside: "Uncle, I think he is right."
Hearing these words, Changsun Wuji was stunned, and Changsun Chong was also stunned.
The two of them looked back one after another and saw Li Chengqian walking in from outside.
The guy dusted himself off and walked outside the house.
When passing by Changsun Chong, this guy didn't forget to laugh: "You guy, why are you being enforced by your uncle again?"
Hearing this, Changsun Chong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He said: "It should be."
"Okay, stop responding and get up."
Li Chengqian pulled Changsun Chong up from the ground.
Immediately, he led his eldest son Chong into the house and said, "Uncle, it's enough to explain the matter clearly. Why do you need to take action?"
"This kid deserves to be beaten!"
Changsun Wuji said angrily: "How brave do you have to be to lead someone to break into the prince's palace?"
"Hey, what's the point of breaking into the prince's palace?"
"Didn't you follow your father into the palace back then?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "I haven't seen you and your father being enforced by the emperor."
In one sentence, Changsun Wuji, who was choked, could not recover for a long time.
Is this kid crazy?
Do you even dare to say such things to others?
Changsun Chong, on the other hand, couldn't help laughing.
He could only hide his head to prevent his father from seeing the smile on his face
meaning.
Li Chengqian was also not polite to Changsun Wuji.
He directly grabbed the teacup on the table, drank it in one gulp, and then sat down next to Changsun Wuji.
He waved his hand and said: "Brother over there, stop standing and go get me a cup of tea."
The man was stunned for a moment, but then he came over, took Li Chengqian's teacup, and went to pour water.
Li Chengqian, on the other hand, was very incompetent and took off his clothes to dissipate heat.
At this time, Changsun Wuji suddenly reacted.
He said: "Aren't you in Suzhou? Why are you back?"
"My sister is afraid that you will beat this boy to death, uncle?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, took out a letter and threw it on the table.
Changsun Wuji picked up the letter and looked at it. It read clearly, "Princess's special order, two thousand miles urgent."
At this time, Changsun Wuji finally understood.
This is the message Li Lizhi sent to Li Chengqian.
However, Chang'an City is more than two thousand miles away from Suzhou.
Even if you ride the fastest horse, you have to run for ten days.
But it only took two days for the incident to occur. How did Li Chengqian come back?
Seeing his expression, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile.
He also knew what the other party was curious about.
He said bluntly: "Uncle, what age are we in now? Don't look at the world with your old eyes."
"It is no longer a problem for our Tang Dynasty ships to travel thousands of miles a day."
“It’s just that the second half of the journey after crossing the Tongji Canal was a bit painful.”
Li Chengqian exhaled a long breath and said: "I killed three horses before I could catch up with the last eight hundred miles."
After hearing these words, Changsun Chong was also a little moved.
Because there was one carriage and horse station in the Tang Dynasty twenty miles apart.
Therefore, it is not difficult to send a letter from Chang'an City to Suzhou, and it can be delivered within one day on an expedited basis over two thousand miles.
Because it can be big The families take turns to fight together, and a horse and a person are enough for twenty miles.
But it's not that simple to come back.
After all, there are not more than ten or twenty Li Chengqian taking turns.
So he could only persevere through the whole process alone.
He has been on a propeller ship, and he also knows what the kinetic energy of a propeller ship is.
It is nothing more than relying on human power to push the propeller to rotate, and then the ship can move.
As for the current ships of the Tang Dynasty, the number of propellers at most is only twenty. Although they are advertised as being able to travel thousands of miles a day, in reality they can only travel three to four hundred miles.
If you really want to travel thousands of miles in a day, you have to find a group of civilians to trample on you day and night.
Tongji Canal is still more than 800 miles away from Chang'an City.
If you really want to cover this distance in one day, it will not be as simple as exhausting three horses.
And Changsun Wuji naturally knew it too.
He looked deeply at Li Chengqian, and then at Changsun Chong.
He shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid you are the only one who can come back in such a hurry at such a time."
"Not really."
Li Chengqian smiled slightly: "There is a fool behind you."
Just when Changsun Wuji didn't understand the situation, Cheng Hualiang also ran in from outside.
He first bowed to Changsun Wuji and said, "See you, Lord Changsun."
Then, he looked at Changsun Chong and laughed unscrupulously: "Hey, you, a stinky scholar, have actually learned how to get into trouble. It really makes me a little impressed."
"That's not the case."
"When I heard about this, I was shocked."
"Bringing people to the Prince of Shu's Mansion to cause trouble, is this something Changsun Chong can do?"
Li Chengqian chuckled: "But it's okay, no one was killed, otherwise this matter would be really difficult to handle."
He glanced at Changsun Chong, then at Cheng Hualiang, and said: "And our threesome, it looks like we have to regroup again..."
