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 Mrs. Taichangqing must have taken the poison that leads to 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 tactics such as 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 palace of the Prince of Qin from an early age 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 by hearing about it, he could guess the inner story behind the death of the Changsun family.
Seven or eighty-eight, so he became more and 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 the two couples who sleep in 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 cold, thin 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."
Some things 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 do not actually require evidence. As long as the logic and truth are understood, the answer is clearly visible...
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 court situation is in turmoil and the capital is unstable. We cannot go to war. Later, let the palace prepare three feet of white silk for you.
Sending it to the Wei family personally 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 to kill, and he was not a wise ruler in the prosperous times. However, in Li Junxian's view, rather than saying that the prince was weak, it would be more appropriate to say that he was kind.
This is a prince with an extremely sensitive and fragile mind. He easily breaks down when under pressure and commits some unbelievable acts of revenge, but mostly he just takes 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 your majesty to have such heroic talents and great strategies to kill decisive heroes and overcome obstacles to 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, but 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 was sitting on his knees, holding the letter his father sent back from Liaodong in his hand 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 eldest eldest Sunze and eldest Sunrun, who are still young, are not qualified to attend such a family meeting...
After a long while, Chang Sun Yan put down the letter, but he did not intend to pass it on 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.
Father warned us not to act on our own, the most important thing is to safeguard the family property at this juncture... Moreover, 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 at his disposal.
I have been entrusted with an important task. As soon as the army reaches Pyongyang City, the eldest brother will be able to cooperate internally and externally to achieve special honors, and the day of returning to Chang'an will not be far away."
Changsun Wen said excitedly: "That's 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 absolutely cannot watch Fang Er show off his power any longer!"
Several brothers all agreed. Although Changsun Chong made a big mistake, they always believed that it was Fang Jun who made a treacherous trick, which caused the eldest brother to be framed. Moreover, Changsun Chong was not only older, but also the eldest brother. Among brothers,
He has always had great prestige. 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 because of 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 half a bit.
As long as the eldest grandson Chong 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 Changsun Chong's recognition within the Changsun family and the recognition of him by the entire Guanlong clan, he will still firmly control the power of the Changsun family. As the head of the family, he can only be a puppet.
No one wants to be used as a puppet...
However, no matter how unhappy he was, he could not express his emotions. Since the second brother, the third brother, and the sixth brother died one after another, the father attaches great importance to whether his sons can respect each other and love each other. If he finds out that he
I am afraid that if I don't tell you my little thoughts, I will be reprimanded immediately, and my position as the head of the family will not 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 my father is in Liaodong and my eldest brother has not returned, I can make a great contribution and make my position secure. Even if my eldest brother returns to Chang'an in the future, I will have enough
Its strength and reputation are on par with them.
And if you want to make great achievements and enhance your prestige, you can't lead an army like Fang Jun did. He doesn't have the ability to wait for the enemy to fight, and he doesn't have the qualifications to lead troops, so he can only hope that Chang'an will be in chaos.
When the situation is chaotic, opportunities will appear.
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 speculators. 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, out of reach, and everything must be stable. Where is Li Chengqian?
Do you have the guts?
Thinking of this, he 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 achievements he has made. I
The rest of the family must not create any rifts that may offend His Majesty. My father is far-sighted and is accompanying me on the expedition to Liaodong. He is also very familiar with the situation in Chang'an. Once you cause trouble and my father blames you, I will not excuse you or intercede for you."
The excitement of the brothers because of Chang Sun Chong's imminent return was immediately reduced, 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 a cat when they see each other. Only Changsun Chong can sit together with Changsun Wuji to discuss things, which makes Changsun Chong have a high prestige among brothers, and everyone is convinced.
After Changsun Chong fled, Changsun Huan, as the eldest son of a concubine, gained the respect of his father. Although he was not as legitimate as Changsun Chong as the eldest son, Changsun Huan was outstanding in talent, approachable, and won the trust of all his brothers.
As for Changsun Jun and even Changsun Yan later...
At this moment, a servant outside the door asked to see him, and Zhang Sunyan agreed. After the servant came in, he looked a little angry and bowed: "Just now, the Wei family came to report the funeral, saying that Mrs. Taichang Qing died violently, and... the person who reported the funeral...
He said, Taichang Qing asked you, Shiro, to come in person to express condolences, and to kowtow to Mrs. Taichang Qing..."
All the brothers in the Changsun family were immediately stunned.
