Chapter 72 Collaboration with the enemy and treason
Zhao Guogong Mansion.
After Changsun Chong was carried back in a chariot by the palace guards, he was placed back in his room. Changsun Wuji had already invited an imperial doctor from the palace to treat him immediately. Whip wounds are very troublesome, although they are common.
In this case, no bones are injured, but the damage to muscles and tendons is extremely obvious. If you are not careful, you may be permanently disabled.
Seeing his son's injuries, Changsun Wuji was shocked: "Why is the injury so serious?"
Changsun Chong was in pain and embarrassment, and said angrily: "The execution guard was talking and laughing with the Fang family. From my child's point of view, he must have colluded with the Fang family and deliberately framed me. Otherwise, even if His Majesty punishes me,
, where is the need to beat him so hard?"
But he didn't understand that it was precisely because he was so proud that he kept silent, so he tried harder and harder. Otherwise, how could he explain to the emperor?
Changsun Wuji was furious!
"It's really lawless. Under His Majesty's eyes, they dare to do such a crazy act. What do they want to do? My dear, please take good care of yourself. There is no need to be angry. As a father, I will make the decision for you. I will never spare the prison guard who is responsible for the punishment.
!”
Changsun Chong quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why he wanted the guard to die was not just because he was whipped too hard, but because the guard discovered that he was incontinent...
As long as the guard is alive, there is a chance that he will spread the word. By then, his eldest son, Sun Chong, will not be alive either...
The guard who was in charge of the punishment still had a sense of control. Although he had a lot of strength and wanted to make Changsun shout a few times, his muscles and bones were not injured. It was just that the injuries were frightening when the skin and flesh were torn apart. The imperial guard invited by the palace
It was natural for the doctor to treat such a small injury. He simply cleaned the injured area, applied medicine, and then prescribed a prescription for nourishing blood and nourishing qi, and then left.
Changsun Wuji had no choice but to ask the housekeeper to give someone a little thought...
After the imperial doctor and servants all left, Changsun Wuji sat in front of the couch, looked at the deserted room, and sighed: "Li Zhi still refuses to come back?"
Changsun Chong's face froze and he was speechless.
"It's not a problem to always be like this. There is no woman in the room, and she is not popular at all. Since Li Zhi is acting petty, you should at least try to persuade her. Although men are superior to women, Li Zhi is a princess after all, and even more so
Your cousin, there’s nothing to be ashamed of if you lower your voice." Changsun Wuji reluctantly advised.
Changsun Wuji was very fond of Princess Li Lizhi of Changle.
He is virtuous and intelligent, but not blindly opinionated. He is very knowledgeable about some political affairs. He knows his son better than his father. Although Changsun Wuji dotes on his eldest son, he is also well aware of Changsun Chong's shortcomings.
This child is too smooth and has never encountered any setbacks, which inevitably leads to the problem of pride and conceitedness. On this point, Li Lizhi often politely advises him, which is good.
But after all, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Changsun Wuji also knows that even the emperor cannot let his children live according to his own settings. When children grow up, they will always have their own ideas, and they can only be dissuaded.
After thinking about it, Changsun Wuji said: "Lizhi has been married to you for many years, but has never had any children. This is a worry in my father's heart. A few days ago, I thought about begging your majesty to let you take a concubine, but...
I have never had the chance. Looking at it now, there is no time to delay. Tomorrow, my father will go to the palace to express his love to His Majesty. Even if he is scolded by His Majesty, he will not care much. However, you have to remember to my father that taking concubines is just
In order to carry on the family lineage, if you do something like neglecting a beautiful woman, there is no need for His Majesty to punish you, I will be the first one not to spare you!"
Changsun Chong looked stiff and said calmly: "Well... although the child and Li Zhi often quarreled and argued, their relationship has never changed, so let's forget about taking a concubine? After all, this is not good-looking for Li Zhi."
"You don't need to say anything more about this matter. My father has already thought about it for a long time." Changsun Wuji waved his hand and interrupted Changsun Chong: "It is a big deal to carry on the family line. You can understand it even if you think about it, so be it. You are well-educated.
My father will take care of things. However, in my father's opinion, you, the admiral of the Shenji Battalion, might as well hand it over. Your strength lies in confidential documents. The army is too rough for you.
Be a little more reluctant, don't think about face-saving things, use your strengths and avoid weaknesses, that's what a wise man does, competing in areas you're not good at is beyond foolish!"
"No!" Changsun Chong looked ferocious: "My child will never give way to the Shenji camp! Everyone in the world says that my child is not as good as Fang Jun, but my child refuses to accept it! Previously, my child just lost because he had no experience. When he controlled an army for the first time, he would inevitably focus on one thing and lose the other.
Over the past few days, my son has gradually figured out the ways. How can I hand over the Shenji Camp so easily? I must run the Shenji Camp well and let outsiders see. No matter what my eldest son, Sun Chong,
, are all better than Fang Jun!"
Changsun Wuji looked helpless.
It is a good thing to have ambition and not give up easily. But it is worrying to not hit the wall and not look back...
But it doesn’t matter, isn’t there still oneself?
Even if something happens to his son, if he is here, he can completely protect his son from the wind and rain. Who is not frivolous at this young age? Who didn't do some stupid things when they were young? As long as they have been tempered enough, they will naturally become enlightened, and then they can be worthy of big responsibilities.
.
"Okay, it's up to you! I'm a little tired as a father, so you can rest and think about how to rectify the Shenji camp."
After saying this, Changsun Wuji put his hands behind his back and left.
In the room, Changsun Chong's face was ashen!
When he thought of the words his father had just mentioned about his heir, Changsun Chong felt as if his heart was being pricked by a needle!
A wave of resentment rises uncontrollably!
Li Chengqian!
It's all your fault...
You are already ashamed of me. Just now in front of His Majesty, you did not favor me but wanted to fight with Xini at fifty points each. It is simply unreasonable!
That deep resentment made Changsun Chong's eyes turn red, and a crazy idea arose in his heart!
"Chang Sun Bao!"
Changsun Chong shouted, and a young man walked in immediately outside the door, crossing his hands and saying, "Dalang, what's the matter?"
This young man is in his thirties, with a fair face and no beard. He is dressed in a blue shirt and has a somewhat delicate and elegant look.
Changsun Bao is a side branch of Changsun's family. His family was in decline, so he has always taken shelter in Changsun Wuji's house. He watched Changsun Chong grow up and was very loyal to him.
Changsun Chong said in a deep voice: "Come here with your ears!"
When Changsun Bao came closer and leaned down, Changsun Chong leaned over and whispered in a low voice.
After hearing this, Changsun Bao was stunned for a long time, and said urgently in a low voice: "Da Lang, think twice! This matter involves a huge amount. Once the news leaks out, it will be a huge disaster! Besides, the head of the family will definitely not agree to this..."
"Shut up!" Zhangsun Chongli shouted, but the injury on his hip was affected. He gritted his teeth in pain and sucked in air-conditioning. "If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. Who knows? Arrange someone close to you to handle this matter.
Then someone will give you a sum of money, fly away and live anonymously, and live the rest of your life freely. Wouldn't it be much better than being a slave in the house? You haven't married yet, but when you marry a wife and have children in the future, you can also give your descendants a good background.
, If you stay in the eldest grandson's family, you will be a slave for generations, and you will always be a lowly citizen, will you be willing?"
Changsun Bao was silent.
This last sentence struck a chord with Changsun Bao.
He was very intelligent, and he knew all the Four Books and Five Classics from hundreds of schools of thought. Changsun Wuji once said more than once that if he had been born into an ordinary family, he would have been recommended by the village elders to gain fame.
It's a pity that he is a cheap man...
The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System divides people into different levels from birth. If you have a low status, you will always be a low status. Even if you have extraordinary abilities, you will still be a low status!
A person with a lowly status has no land or land. He can only live dependent on his master's family. He cannot be an official or an official. He will always be a lowly person for the rest of his life!
He has passed the age and is still alone. Why?
It's not just that he looks down on those bitch women who were born as slaves, but the daughter of a good family looks down on him! He doesn't want to settle for the rest of his life, so he remains single!
Maybe... we really should give it a try?
Although the stakes are huge, the benefits are too generous!
Even if you don’t think about yourself, shouldn’t you fight for a future for your descendants?!
Gritting his teeth, Changsun Bao said in a deep voice: "Just follow Da Lang's orders!"
After a pause, he said emotionally: "I have been taken in by my master since I was a child. I can't repay my deep love and kindness! I went out this time so as not to bring danger to Da Lang. I don't plan to come back. In the future, I can't be around Da Lang."
Waiter, I hope you will take good care of me! The master’s kindness in raising me will be repaid to you in the future by being connected with the grass in the next life!”
Changsun Chong held his hand and said with emotion: "I can't bear to leave you... But this matter is of great importance. How can I rest assured if it is left to others? After the matter is completed, I will send someone to give you a huge sum of money. God
The higher ground is far away, let’s try a new way of living!”
"If Changsun Bao is shattered into pieces, he will definitely live up to Da Lang's trust!"
Changsun Bao knelt down and kowtowed, with tears in his eyes, he turned and left.
Changsun Chong lay on the couch and clenched his fists fiercely...
