Princess Changle stared at the Crown Princess, blinking slightly with her beautiful eyes, a little suspicious.
Although this Crown Princess is a bit strong and not that gentle and soft-tempered, she is usually not one to gossip. Why did she say so many bad things about the eldest son's family in front of her today?
This is not like her personality, there must be some other reason...
When the Crown Princess saw Chang Le staring at her, she also knew that Chang Le was always smart, so she might have guessed her intention, so she stopped beating around the bush and said straight to the point, "His Royal Highness asked me to come here."
Princess Changle became more and more strange, and she asked in a clear voice: "What on earth is going on?"
The Crown Princess sighed, held Princess Changle's hand, watched her expression, and said slowly: "Just now, 'Baiqisi' came to report that Changsun Chong suddenly fell ill in prison and died violently..."
…His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was afraid that you would be sad, so he asked me to come over and watch you and give you some comfort."
One night and a hundred nights of kindness between husband and wife, no matter how many grievances and hatreds they have had, they are still a husband and wife. Now that Changsun Chong has passed away in such a tragic way, Princess Changle must be feeling sad.
Princess Changle was stunned for a moment, her pretty face became whiter, her eyebrows jumped slightly, then she lowered her eyes, her beautifully shaped lips pursed tightly, and the delicate hand held by the Crown Princess subconsciously tightened, then she reacted and quickly let go
…
The Crown Princess noticed the shock in her heart and comforted her with gentle words: "Why do you need to be sad about those ruthless and unjust people? If Queen Wende was still here, I am afraid she would not allow you to be treated harshly by Changsun Chong.
Will support Heli. Moreover, Changsun Chong followed his father in instigating a mutiny, and he was actually a rebellious minister. Even if the prince tolerated him for your sake, how could he be tolerated according to the national laws and regulations? Your Majesty expressed his gratitude to Queen Wende back then.
He was very fond of him, so he opened a wide net and allowed him to live in exile in the world. However, the moment Changsun Chong sneaked back to Chang'an and launched a rebellion, he was bound to die. Such a ruthless, unfaithful and unfilial person will deserve to die. You really
There is no reason to feel sad for him."
She had always scorned Chang Sun Chong, even before Chang Sun Chong failed in his rebellion and went into exile.
Men must not only have status and family background, but also have talent and responsibility. Status and family background determines social class, while talent and responsibility determine lifetime achievements. Changsun Chong has an extremely prominent family background and is favored by Queen Wende. His status and background can be said to be absolute.
As the first person among the younger generation, it stands to reason that he should be able to show his talents and make contributions in his official career.
But what is the reality?
At a young age, he was appointed as the palace eunuch, and he was regarded as His Majesty Li Er's personal assistant. I don't know how many people envied him. But under the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, this man did nothing and did nothing. When Queen Wende died,
, His Majesty Li Er's favor did not diminish, and he was promoted and appointed all the way. He even handed over the "Shenji Battalion" established by Fang Jun to Chang Sun Chong, which caused displeasure among the government and the public.
However, Changsun Chong only spent a few months, excluding dissidents and installing cronies, and forcibly tore such a strong army that had followed Fang Jun to defeat the Turkic Wolf Cavalry in the Puchang Sea into pieces, losing all its combat power, and his ambition.
, the ability is evident.
At the very least, it must be far inferior to Fang Jun...
It is also said that she resented the prince because of her physical disability, and was angry with Changle. She regarded Princess Changle, the beloved eldest daughter of the royal family, as a punching bag. She made sarcastic remarks and treated him coldly every day, and even treated her with all kinds of suspicions and insults.
.
How can such a man be worthy of the beautiful and intelligent Princess Changle?
…
Princess Changle lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes flickering for a while, trying to calm down the ups and downs in her heart. Just when she was about to open her mouth to speak, a string of clear tears suddenly fell from her eyes, across her fair and smooth face, and fell on her clothes.
Although Changsun Chong treated her too harshly and even had murderous intentions for a time, she never really resented Changsun Chong. She attributed everything to Changsun Chong's disability, which led to evil intentions and was definitely not a cold nature.
It seems reasonable for an inhumane husband to be suspicious of his beautiful wife and take precautions against her...
If you say it is love, it is actually very weak. There is absolutely no love between man and woman. What is left is only the memory of living for several years.
But despite this, when I suddenly heard the news that Chang Sun Chong died violently in prison, I still couldn't bear the sadness and sorrow in my heart, and I couldn't help but shed tears.
Of course, she also understood that the so-called "sudden illness" was just an excuse, and the truth was actually a bit cruel...
The Crown Princess held Princess Changle's hand and comforted her with gentle words.
She has always felt that among all the princesses in the royal family, the most outstanding one is Princess Changle. She is a beautiful person with good looks and smart, but she is trapped in a political alliance and becomes like a commodity. If she meets a decent husband, she may be safe.
One life, enjoy all the glory.
Unexpectedly, I met Changsun Chong, a man with a heart as high as the sky and a life as thin as a piece of paper. After getting married, he became a widow. He was divorced at a young age. Now he is following Fang Jun and never sees the light of day. His whole life's happiness has been ruined.
Now...I feel more and more that Princess Changle is pitiable.
Princess Changle wiped away her tears, forced a smile, and said: "In the past, I have thought about whether he would encounter something unexpected one day while living in exile. At that time, I felt that this person was extremely hateful. Even if his death was miserable, I would probably not be able to do it.
I feel sad...but now that I heard it suddenly, I still can’t hold back my tears. It’s really useless for me.”
The princess smiled and said: "How do you say this? This also shows that you are a kind person. Even if your eldest grandson ruins your life, you are not willing to curse him to die a good death. This kind of heart is the most rare. Don't think about it.
There are too many, some people have some things, let them go if they are over, we have to live well, everything is moving forward, right?"
Princess Changle nodded lightly.
Yes, those embarrassing pasts have disappeared and gone with the wind. Now, although she follows Fang Jun and cannot show it openly in front of others, she deeply loves this man. She is extremely satisfied with the current situation, so why bother about the past anymore?
Happiness needs to be enjoyed, pain should be let go.
*****
The wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the stars were shining brightly.
The war in the Taiji Palace has temporarily ceased, and the next crazy attack of the Guanlong army is brewing. The six leaders of the East Palace are gearing up and waiting for the danger. They are in the short calm before the storm. However, all over the Guanzhong, the private armies stationed in various places have suffered from various attacks.
Yu Youtunwei's crazy attack.
Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, Sun Renshi, and General Xin Mao each commanded a thousand light cavalry, and launched a raid on the private armies of various clans.
Although there are many private soldiers of the various clans stationed in various places, with the number mostly exceeding three to five thousand or even seven to eight thousand, these private armies temporarily gathered by the clans lack training, lack of weapons and weapons, and most of them are in a state of low morale after running out of food and supplies.
When it was stable, facing the elite troops of Youtun Guards who were armed to the teeth, there was almost no resistance.
Overnight, four clan private armies were wiped out. Although the entire army was not wiped out, the soldiers who fled in panic were rescued by other private armies. This caused the atmosphere of fear to spread rapidly, and the private armies of each clan could not sit still.
Living.
No one is confident that they can stand firm against Youtunwei's surprise attack. Everyone knows that Youtunwei is a powerful army that can defeat the direct troops of Guanlong. Now it is clear that they will wipe out all the private armies in Guanzhong.
Who can still sit still?
Countless envoys swarmed into Chang'an City and went straight to Yanshoufang, hoping that the Guanlong clan could give everyone an explanation: Why didn't they distribute grain? Why didn't they reinforce ordnance? Why didn't they mobilize troops to support?
Of course, the most important question is - we want to leave but we can't. What can you tell me, Guan Long?
These clan members either came to support Changsun Wuji's stinky feet and came voluntarily to form a "good relationship", so that they could have further exchanges of interests with the Guanlong clan in the future; or they were coerced and lured by Changsun Wuji, under the guise of
The little idea of fishing in troubled waters to grab profits... But unexpectedly, one mistake led to eternal regret. Instead of reaping the benefits, he stepped into the big pit of Guanzhong and was unable to extricate himself.
Naturally, they were angry, angry and regretful. They could only hold on to the straw of Guanlong, try to climb out of this pit, and quickly return to their respective territories. Otherwise, once all these private armies were destroyed in Guanzhong, what would happen to all the clans?
The control over one's own territory will have a devastating blow.
Without the private army, what can we use to fight against the local government and garrison?
At that time, with a single order from the imperial court, the troops stationed in various places will be able to uproot them. The clans that rely on them to monopolize politics will completely collapse...
