Anyone who speculates on the previous situation will think that Goguryeo will definitely be defeated. No matter how brave the resistance is, the gap in military strength and combat power between the two countries is obvious. It will only be a matter of time before Pingrang City is captured. As the actual ruler of Goguryeo, Yuan
Ge Suwen's fate is nothing more than "death".
However, in an instant, the Tang army retreated, Pingrang City was preserved, and Yeon Gaesumun ascended the throne as king... The situation changed to such a dramatic level that many people could not accept it.
Why did the Tang army, which had the advantage and was about to break into the city, suddenly withdraw its troops and give up the great situation gained by the sacrifice of countless soldiers?
The more Yuan Boy couldn't figure out how his father could do this, the more incomprehensible he felt, which chilled him to the very core.
If it had been before, my father would have been just Da Moliji, and he might have allowed him, the eldest son, to live. But now that his father has ascended the throne as king, he, the eldest son, has become the legal first heir, and there is absolutely no way that his father can pass on the throne to him.
Under one's own circumstances, one's own existence becomes the biggest hidden danger.
With his father's methods, how could he let him live...
*****
Lantian County, at the foot of Lishan Mountain, Changsun's farm.
Changsun Wuji, as the "No. 1 Honorable Minister of Zhenguan", received unparalleled rewards and countless fertile fields. Almost all the Guanzhong Plain surrounding Chang'an City had fields under his name, and they were all fields with fertile soil and abundant water flow.
There are not many good farmlands, but there are not many villas like this.
Especially near Lishan Mountain, many royal gardens were built due to the beautiful scenery and hot springs. A few years ago, His Majesty Li Er gave a large area of mountainous land and fields on the western slope of Lishan Mountain to Fang Jun to resettle thousands of disaster victims and his eldest son.
I have also given up a lot of my family, and now only this piece of mountain land is left.
In winter, the trees wither, the fruit trees grow, and the entire Zhuangzi is covered with snow. Because it is located in a mountain valley, it is usually very quiet, but recently, people have gathered here from time to time, making it gradually noisy.
Changsun Chong was sitting in the hall drinking tea, looking through the bright glass windows at the military officers coming and going in the yard, feeling a little excited.
Although the Changsun family does not directly control the military today, the tradition of supporting family soldiers for decades has not been lost. Today, the total number of servants, villagers, private soldiers, and dead soldiers in the family has exceeded 5,000. Although it is usually only one person
It's a huge expense, but as the saying goes, "If you have troops in hand, you won't panic in the event of trouble." At such a critical moment, you can pull out a team of more than 5,000 people at any time, and you will naturally feel at ease.
Coupled with the private soldiers of the other Guanlong clans, ranging from four to five thousand to two to three thousand, once they gather together, they become a powerful force that cannot be ignored!
The permission to raise private soldiers was a special reward given by His Majesty Li Er in order to reward the Guanlong clan for their support. Once upon a time, the Li Tang royal family was also a member of Guanlong. The stronger the power of Guanlong, the more powerful the Li Tang royal family would be.
The more firmly you sit.
Why did His Majesty Li Er suppress and weaken the Guanlong clan? In addition to the fact that the Guanlong clan once occupied important yamen in the court, the private soldiers maintained by each clan were also an important reason.
His Majesty Li Er is a shameless person, he cherishes his reputation very much, and does not want to bear the infamy of "every bird is gone, but a good bow is hidden". Even if he wants to weaken the private armies of various Guanlong families, he will only use various means behind the scenes to force him to do so.
Guan Long himself disbanded his private soldiers instead of openly tearing up the alliance oath...
…
Chang Sunxu stood aside with his hands tied up and said respectfully: "I have been staring at the Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain these days, and I have already figured out the rules of His Highness Changle's practice. Apart from His Highness Changle, there have been several visits to Jinyang.
The princess is also accompanying her, and they all stay for a day or two before returning to the city, but they never see anyone else going there."
"Well, you did a good job."
Changsun Chong praised it, but he didn't agree with it in his heart.
This younger brother seems to be quite smart, but he is also brainless. Who is Princess Changle? Even if she has a concubine, she can only be a high-ranking and young person like Fang Jun. How can she be flirtatious and court Qin Muchu?
Taking advantage of Fang Jun's western expedition to have a secret meeting with his lover?
Fang Jun was not in Beijing, so naturally no one came to have a tryst.
Furthermore, Fang Jun is unruly and has high self-esteem, so how can he tolerate Chang Le raising other people outside of him?
Even though Fang Jun is in the Western Regions, Changsun Chong dares to assert that every move of Princess Changle will not escape his eyes and ears. If Princess Changle dares to take a man for a tryst today, there will be assassins who will cut the man into pieces in the evening.
Blocks, throw them into the Wei River to feed the tortoise...
Chang Sunxu glanced at his brother cautiously, hesitating slightly.
Changsun Chong frowned. He hated to see a man so hesitant. His mother-in-law and mother-in-law scolded him, "A manly man, if you have something to say, you will fart as soon as you have something to say. What kind of hesitation is this?"
I sighed from the bottom of my heart. Among the brothers, only Changsun Huan and Changsun Jun had some ability, but they all died. The remaining brothers were like flowers, fruits and vegetables in a greenhouse. They looked like that, but in fact
They are all of no use and cannot withstand the slightest bit of wind and rain...
Chang Sunxun was startled, and then he mustered up the courage to say: "However, I also want to persuade my brother that my father asked you to risk a huge risk and sneak back to Beijing to prepare for a big event. How can you risk it for Princess Changle?"
Ignore it? Even if Princess Changle criticizes you, she should be patient..."
At this point, he seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.
Changsun Chong already frowned, put down his tea cup, looked over with stern eyes, and asked one by one: "What do you mean Princess Changle is criticizing me? What on earth did she say?"
Seeing the eldest grandson shrinking his neck and not daring to answer, he said angrily: "Say!"
"Here!"
Chang Sunxu was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Those noble ladies and royal ladies who are close to His Royal Highness Changle often say in private that Princess Changle seems to be quite dissatisfied with her brother, saying that he looks like a tree in the wind.
He has a stable atmosphere, but in reality he is private, narrow-minded, moody, and not like a man..."
This was what Jiang Wang Li Yun taught him to say. In fact, Li Yun did not know Changsun Chong's personal secrets. Princess Changle was even less likely to publicize Changsun Chong's injuries everywhere. She just thought that it would be described from Princess Changle's mouth.
Changsun Chong is a narrow-minded, stingy and harsh person, which will inevitably achieve the purpose of irritating Changsun Chong.
But I never thought that these words would directly poke Changsun Chong's secrets, which immediately made Changsun Chong furious!
"boom!"
The fine white porcelain tea bowl in his hand was slammed to the ground by Changsun Chong, and the fragments shot out. His white face had already turned blood red. He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Bitch! How dare you insult me?
!”
He immediately stood up, grabbed a sword on the table, and went out to kill the bitch who revealed his secrets with one sword, and felt some hatred in his heart.
Changsun Xu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, hugged Changsun Chong's legs tightly, and shouted: "Brother, this is the most important thing! Don't be impulsive!"
He was really scared to death. Those words were only used to anger Changsun Chong, but he never expected that the effect would be so good that they would actually make Changsun Chong lose his mind and intend to go and kill Princess Changle...
What if my brother goes crazy and really kills Princess Changle, and the court investigates her afterwards, how can she get away with fabricating rumors?
There is also some contempt in my heart, the eldest brother is really petty. After the man and woman reconcile, they say "one parting and two tolerance", but how is it possible? Needless to say, it is not necessary to have grudges because of the gap, but it is even more common to say evil words. How narcissistic it is.
As a person, after the divorce, your ex-wife always talks about your kindness in her mouth?
If you were really good enough, why would you ever come to the point of reconciliation...
Changsun Chong, however, flew into a rage, kicked Changsun Xing hard, and shouted: "Get out of here!"
How dare you let go after Zhang Sunxu was kicked hard? He begged bitterly: "Brother, please calm down and focus on important matters. If you go to find Her Highness Changle now, let alone how to escape afterwards, the guards around her will see you."
You will be caught on the spot as soon as I arrive. What will you do with the important matter that your father told you?"
"Mother!"
Changsun Chong calmed down, cursed bitterly, threw the sword aside, turned back to the desk and sat down.
Chang Sunxun let out a long breath...
Changsun Chong glanced at Changsun Xin with disgust, waved his hand and said: "You have nothing to do here, go back to your home."
"Here."
Chang Sunxu knew that he did not want his brother to see him, so he did not dare to say anything, so he bowed out obediently and returned to the city.
Changsun Chong ordered his people to call Changsun Wen and asked: "How are the preparations of the Guanlong families?"
Changsun Wu sat down and wanted to drink a cup of hot tea, but saw the fragments of the teacup on the ground. He swallowed secretly and felt that this elder brother was moody now. He often got angry because of trivial things. His temper was too narrow...
"Reply to brother, most of them are already ready. As long as brother gives the order, each family will definitely follow suit and achieve great things!"
