After thinking for a long time, Changsun Wuji felt that he seemed to understand the intention behind Fang Jun's suggestion.
I couldn't help but secretly sigh. I am indeed His Majesty's most favored minister. He is truly loyal. In order to protect Your Majesty's interests and maintain the stability of the empire, I will go through fire and water without any hesitation.
Looking at Changsun Huan, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him with a dejected look on his face, his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.
I had grown up watching Bangchui. He was once stupid and dull, and his friends were reluctant to play with him. At that time, Changsun Wuji looked at his sons and felt quite proud.
You, Fang Xuanling, have been fighting with me for half your life, but what can you do?
In terms of meritorious service, I supported His Majesty Li Er to ascend the throne to the throne, which is unrivaled by anyone in the world. In terms of power, he is less than one person and more than ten thousand people. However, your eldest son is pedantic and your second son is stupid. They are all ineffective and complacent.
The sense of accomplishment made him feel superior every time he faced Fang Xuanling.
But I don’t know what happened, why did that stick suddenly seem to have enlightened him? He was so talented and beautiful that he was an outstanding person, and his eldest son was not only penetrated by Fang Jun, but also made the couple turn against each other and lost His Majesty Li Er.
His favored son, the second son in front of him, who seemed to have some talent and ability in the past, seemed so dull in comparison...
The most important thing for aristocratic families is continuity. Temporary gains and losses are nothing. There are many examples of enduring humiliation and eventually rising up. The outcome depends on the longer-term future.
Even though I have suppressed Fang Xuanling for the rest of my life, it would be the greatest shame that a hundred years later, my descendants would be trampled under the feet of Fang Xuanling's son, and would be incomparable to others for life after life.
…
Changsun Wuji was a little confused. He felt that he had planned all his life and had left no stone unturned, but he didn't know why he was hesitant and everything was not going well.
It took a long time before he came back to his senses. He looked at his son kneeling in front of him, sighed quietly, and said softly: "Go back to your room and rest. Early tomorrow morning, you will rush to Zongzheng Temple to surrender."
Changsun Huan was slightly startled and asked in a low voice: "In fact, according to my child... there is no need to go to Zongzheng Temple at all. Since Fang Jun and Ma Zhou let us go home, they must have made up their mind to carry a 'private indulgence'
In order to avoid the conflict between Guanlong and the royal family, as long as the child leaves Chang'an City tonight, no one will pursue the child's whereabouts, and the matter will be settled."
Naturally, he didn't want to go to Zongzheng Temple. We had already discussed it on the way back. Since Fang Jun and Ma Zhou were willing to take the blame and let them go, as long as they escaped from Chang'an City overnight, the matter would eventually be settled.
No one needs to be punished.
Now that everyone else is running away, he is allowed to surrender alone?
Isn't that a fool...
Changsun Wuji shook his head and sighed again, but he didn't even think about getting angry.
Such a sluggish reaction and slow strategy. He had his own suggestions after such a long time, but still failed to see the key point of this matter... Even though he was really unwilling to accept it, he had to admit that his son was better than him.
There is a huge gap between Fang Jun and Fang Jun.
"Are those Guanlong disciples having the same idea as you tonight?"
Changsun Huan said: "That's it. We have made an appointment. The court will not pursue this matter anyway. We might as well go to Longxi to hide for a while to avoid the limelight and come back soon."
Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and shook his head, explaining with rare patience: "How stupid! If you all escape tonight, the matter will be suppressed for the time being, but why don't you think about the consequences? No one will hold you accountable.
, but it does not mean that this matter is completely over. Whether it is Jingzhao Mansion or Zongzheng Temple, there will be records of this case. The son of the prince was beaten, and several princes, princes, and princes were injured. The impact was very bad.
Have you ever thought? Even if things change, you may have the opportunity to get an official position. If no one pays attention, that's it. As long as someone digs out this record, they can beat you to the end anytime, anywhere. As long as no one pays attention to it.
With this record, from now on, there will be no possibility for you to enter the official career."
"ah?!"
Changsun Huan exclaimed in surprise and said with hatred: "This, this, this... this Fang Jun is actually so vicious, I wish I could cut him into pieces with a thousand knives!"
All he wanted was to become the head of Changsun's family, the leader of Guanlong, and copy his father Changsun Wuji's path to power.
If there is no hope for an official career...it is absolutely impossible for a white person to serve as the head of the Changsun family!
It was tantamount to annihilating the ideal he had strived for all his life.
Changsun Wuji snorted coldly and said: "Even if you know Fang Jun's sinister intentions at this moment, what can you do? This matter must not be made public, let alone interrogated, whether it is us Guanlong nobles or
The royal family is categorically unwilling to be suppressed by the other party. Whoever suffers a loss in this matter will be controlled and at a disadvantage. To be honest, if you want to avoid this, no one can give in, and a conflict will eventually break out.
To stabilize the situation in the DPRK, Fang Jun's approach is extremely appropriate."
Even though he knew that escaping Chang'an overnight was ruining his future, he still had to jump into this pit willingly... I have to say that even Changsun Wuji himself somewhat appreciated Fang Jun's vicious trick.
Changsun Huan's face was green and his lips were white, and cold sweat was pouring down his face. He was obviously frightened, but he was still a little confused: "But why does father want me to go to Zongzheng Temple? Even if those people can't be caught, the child will still be captured by Zongzheng Temple."
Disposal..."
"How stupid!"
Changsun Wuji scolded: "Even now, you are still confused! So what if you go to Zongzheng Temple? Jingzhao Mansion does not dare to try this case, how dare Zongzheng Temple do it? Besides, everyone else has escaped, and only the remaining
How can I put you on trial even if I want to put you on trial? You are also a descendant of the Changsun family after all. Is it possible that someone would dare to impose this guilt on you? Rather than absconding outside and hiding from the public, it is better to stay at Zongzheng Temple honestly.
In the prison, if no one is arrested in a while, the case will naturally be shelved, and Zongzheng Temple will have to let you go home."
Changsun Huan pursed his lips and turned a little pale.
In the past, he had never thought that he could not compare with Fang Jun. That guy only relied on the emperor's favor to rise up step by step. Even if he had some abilities, they were just some weird skills and the like. Most of them were due to his incredible luck, which made him what he was.
This is my day.
However, now, he clearly felt the viciousness hidden under Fang Jun's seemingly reckless and aggressive style.
He was frightened and frightened, and he always felt that it was better not to stay in Chang'an, otherwise who knows what conspiracy and tricks Fang Jun would come up with?
But in front of his father, he didn't dare to admit defeat even if he was beaten to death...
What kind of person is Changsun Wuji? Looking at his son's frightened face but twinkling eyes, he knew that he didn't fully understand his intentions, but with such qualifications, he couldn't force him.
He just warned in words: "There is no need to discuss this matter. You will go to the back house to have a rest. You will also tell the people in the room that you must not have any intention of running away."
He stared at Changsun Huan and said in a deep voice: "Don't go and tip off those bastards. If they didn't die in the front, how could this matter be completed? Let them fend for themselves."
Changsun Huan's eyes widened suddenly, and he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and he quipped: "Father...Father, what do you mean by this? Who would kill them?"
Changsun Wuji said no more, closed his eyes slightly, rubbed his temples, and sighed: "You guys, even if we are tied together, we can't fight Fang Jun, so you should just admit defeat honestly. Anyway, this matter will develop.
Until now, no matter what, these people cannot save their lives. If the worst happens, they will die in the hands of His Majesty and become the victims before Guanlong and the imperial power go to war... Life and death are determined by your fate, so you can act recklessly.
, regardless of the consequences, caused such a huge disaster, who can blame him?"
Whoever can see through Fang Jun's vicious scheme can seek good fortune and avoid disaster and save his life; whoever cannot see through it can only become a victim of Fang Jun's "dirty misfortune".
If you can't kill people and see blood, how can you turn the conflict between the royal family and Guan Long into the conflict between Guan Long and the Fang family?
Only in this way can this crisis, which is very likely to lead to chaos in the DPRK, be eliminated.
It's just that Fang Jun must bear the responsibility of "excessive revenge" at some time. Even if it is just to maintain the majesty of the laws and regulations, he will be punished. It is possible that his title will be demoted again and again, and his official position will be wiped out.
