Changsun Chong nodded, took a deep breath, and suppressed the raging anger in his chest. At the moment of major events, he couldn't ruin the overall plan just for his own anger. After the work was completed, he had to go to Changle and ask a few questions, bitch, take it seriously.
A wolf with a heart and a dog with lungs?!
Although my anger was temporarily suppressed, I was really angry!
Now Changsun Chong finally understands why those eunuchs in history had sensitive personalities, were withdrawn and gloomy, and when the things they cared about most in their hearts could never be possessed, they were brutally picked apart with the tip of a knife. The bloody
The pain is an embarrassment more cruel than death.
Sometimes he even thought that his father had planned everything to promote King Jin to the throne regardless of his family life, instead of simply seeking to usurp the throne and ascend to that position himself, because he, the eldest son, was already inhumane and could not continue the incense bloodline of the eldest grandson family.
, so I had to reluctantly give up the ideal of having a country...
This made his heart hurt even more.
…
He sent Chang Sunxun away, asked his servants to help him disguise himself, put on a cloak and a bamboo hat, and rode back to Chang'an City with more than ten soldiers.
After entering the city, Changsun Chong did not return to his residence, but went straight to Yongyangfang, which is located in the southeast corner of Chang'an City.
The group entered the city easily, followed the streets and alleys to Yongyangfang, and came to the vicinity of Dazhuangyan Temple. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Buddhist temples have been built in many lanes in Chang'an City. These Buddhist temples are full of incense, often occupying more than half of the lane, and the temples are continuous.
The sound is clearer and clearer, and this is the case in Dazhuangyan Temple.
In the wind and snow, the temples stood in rows and rows. Although the temple was located in a corner of the city, in terms of scale, only the Daci'en Temple, which was under construction, could surpass it, and the rest were not worthy of mention.
It was getting late at night and it was time for evening classes. The melodious sound of bells drifted through the wind and snow. Changsun Chong led people to a three-in house next to the wall of Dazhuangyan Temple.
The guard with a horizontal sword in front of the door came forward, took the name card from Changsun Chong with the emblem of Changsun's family on it, turned around and walked inside, returned in a moment, and respectfully invited Changsun Chong to enter.
Changsun Chong threw the reins in his hands to the soldiers, entered the house alone, and followed the guards who led the way straight to a courtyard in the east courtyard.
The place is simple and quiet, with the distant bells of Dazhuangyan Temple across the wall, the green bricks and black tiles, and the falling snow, which actually made Changsun Chong, who was wandering in his mind, also feel the peaceful meaning of "meditation", and his mood suddenly calmed down...
The guard just made a "please" gesture, asking Changsun Chong to come in. Then he pressed the knife on his waist and stood straight in the wind and snow, without squinting.
The eldest grandson rushed into the courtyard, came to the main hall door, straightened his clothes a little, and then pushed the door open and entered.
There are candles burning in the hall, and a faint scent of sandalwood fills the nose. The furnishings are simple, and the earth dragon is burning on the smooth floor. An old man with white beard and hair is sitting on the futon, relaxing and relaxing.
Changsun Chong stepped forward lightly, knelt on the futon in front of the old man, paused with his head respectfully, and said softly: "Changsun Chong came to pay homage to my uncle on my father's orders."
The old man then opened his eyes, glanced at Changsun Chong with a pair of dim and dim eyes, then drooped his eyelids again, and just said a faint "hmm" without saying any more words.
It seems that Changsun Chong, a criminal who committed a major crime of treason, sneaked back to Chang'an and was not surprised at all...
Changsun Chong was not embarrassed by the old man's indifference, let alone dissatisfied. The old man in front of him could be regarded as the only remaining "ancestor" among the Guanlong clan.
Perhaps outsiders have never heard of the name "Hou Mo Chen Qian Hui", but within Guanlong, it is definitely a prestigious and highly respected person. Its ancestor, Hou Mo Chen Chong, was the general of Zhuguo in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was given a gift after his death.
Situ, one of the "Eight Pillar Kingdoms", single-handedly participated in the creation of today's Guanlong aristocratic group. His father, Hou Mo Chenying, had great military exploits. After entering the Sui Dynasty, he was even more highly regarded by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. He became the general manager of Guizhou and led soldiers from seventeen states.
The incident shocked Lingnan.
When it came to Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui, although his merits were not as good as those of his father and ancestors, he believed that he was senior and capable. He had always been regarded as the core figure of Guanlong, with high prestige and great influence.
Even if the eldest grandson Wuji, the "first honorary minister of Zhenguan", must respectfully address him as "uncle" in person, he must be consulted for his opinion on any major issues. Otherwise, if Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui don't nod, half of Guanlong will be ignored.
The group may not be at the mercy of Changsun Wuji.
…
It was quiet in the hall, except for the faint sound of the clear bells of Dazhuangyan Temple separated by a wall. The temple bells have their own rules, "If struck at dawn, it will break the long night and alert you to sleep; if struck at dusk, you will feel twilight and clear up the darkness." Every day
Two times, three times each time, thirty-six times each time.
After beating the dusk drum three times and one hundred and eight times, Hou Mo and Chen Qian slowly opened their eyes, looked at Changsun Chong, and nodded slightly: "My heart is calm and my affairs are not chaotic. It's quite good."
With your ability, it’s no wonder that your father can entrust you with such a great responsibility.”
The eldest grandson hurriedly said humbly: "How dare I say the word 'ability' in front of my great-uncle? I am stupid and stubborn and have insufficient talents. I hope my seniors can give me advice and help."
"hehe."
Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui smiled calmly and said, "It's a pity that Changsun Wuji gave birth to a good son."
The word "what a pity" makes this sentence sound sarcastic...
Changsun Chong's eyelids twitched and he didn't say a word, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart.
It's a pity for me, but how can you not be the same for you? I think with the power and foundation of the Hou Mochen family, as well as the ability and prestige of the Hou Mochen Qianhui, if they could rise to power at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they might not be able to do so at all.
What's going on with the eldest grandson's family?
It's a pity that this man is a common man who "does not love the country but loves the beauty". Because his beloved Queen Lonely died on the day of her death, he relinquished all official positions and retired from family affairs. In the third year of Emperor Wen's life in the Sui Dynasty, he built this house for Queen Dugu.
After Dazhuangyan Temple came to commemorate it, they settled in a cottage outside the temple. In the morning and evening, they read Buddhist scriptures and prayed in front of the Buddha...
If this were not the case, there is no telling what the world would be like today.
There was another moment of silence. It seemed that Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui, who had lived in seclusion for many years, were no longer used to talking to others. After a while, he slowly asked: "Wuji's Tao slightly surpasses me. I don't want to talk about the rest."
, you can do whatever you want. There is only one thing, how do you want to break through the Xuanwu Gate?"
Xuanwu Gate is the key to the Forbidden Palace. If you want to control the capital, you must control the Forbidden Palace. If you want to control the Forbidden Palace, you must break through the Xuanwu Gate... This shows the importance of the Xuanwu Gate.
The past events of His Majesty Li Er serve as lessons from the past.
Changsun Chong said: "Chai Zhewei is unjust and follows the trend of Yan. As long as we start an uprising outside the city and get support from various private soldiers in the city, Chai Zhewei will definitely not be left behind. As long as he raises troops to respond, he will capture Xuanwu Gate."
, then the city of Chang'an will be under our control!"
Hou Mo, Chen Qianhui's snow-white beauty frowned, and said curiously: "Outside Xuanwu Gate, there are left and right garrison guards. Even though Chai Zhewei raised troops to respond, there is still a right garrison guard on the other side, which belongs to the second son of Fang Xuanling's family.
The direct soldiers and horses will definitely protect the East Palace to the death. Are you so sure that the Zuo Tun Guard can defeat the Right Tun Guard and successfully capture the Xuanwu Gate?"
Changsun Chong despised him from the bottom of his heart. He stayed in this mansion all day and night. Everyone in the world thought it was a love affair, but in fact, he was not always paying attention to what was going on in Chang'an City?
He said: "Uncle, don't worry. Although the Youtun Guards are loyal to the East Palace, Fang Jun's expedition to the west has taken away a large number of elites. Only half of the Youtun Guards left outside the Xuanwu Gate are left, and the person who leads the troops is only a partial general.
.As long as Chai Zhewei raises his troops and then raids the Youtunwei barracks, it can be decided in one battle and there is nothing to worry about."
Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui shook their heads slightly, noncommittal.
Changsun Chong saw that he did not believe his judgment and was a little dissatisfied. He added: "Even if something went wrong on Chai Zhewei's side and he failed to defeat the Youtun Guards in time and capture the Xuanwu Gate, some people in the clan would be unable to bear it and want to take advantage of the situation.
The whole of Chang'an has become a mess. With the strength of each of our families, we can completely sweep the whole city and protect the country. When the time comes, we will support the King of Jin to ascend to the throne and achieve the feat of following the dragon!"
In his opinion, half of the Right Guards would never be able to compete with the full strength of the Zuo Guards. Chai Zhewei was also the queen of the generals. He had a good family background and was considered to be a rare person among the younger generation with both civil and military skills. Then it would be sudden again.
Is there any reason why a surprise attack cannot be decided in a single battle?
The most important thing is whether all the families in the city can work together and work together. As long as each family does not hide their thoughts and watch from the other side, the situation will inevitably develop in the direction they have planned.
The key to making all the Guanlong families in the city work together and hold nothing back is whether Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui are willing to step forward and raise their arms.
