Seeing Changsun Chong's hesitant expression, Changsun Wuji became even more angry and cursed: "It's been so long, why do you have any hesitation? As a father, I don't understand. Since it's not about killing my father,
Why do you hold such a grudge against His Highness the Crown Prince? That child Chengqian has a weak character and is very polite. Even if there is any dissatisfaction, you should be patient. How could you be so reckless?"
If Changsun Wuji couldn't understand this.
His son is not an impulsive and brainless stick. Since Li Chengqian is the prince and the future monarch of the empire, even if there is some trouble between the two, why can't he tolerate it? Besides, Li Chengqian was also watched by Changsun Wuji and grew up.
He is always kind and easy-going, but to put it bluntly, he is weak and pedantic. What kind of extreme things could such a person do that would make others want to skin him and drink his blood?
It doesn’t make sense!
Facing his father's eager gaze, Changsun Chong also knew that he couldn't make it clear. He gritted his teeth and said, "Father, do you still remember that in the winter of the sixth year of Zhenguan, the child made an appointment with Li Chengqian to go hunting in Jiuwei Mountain, and the child fell seriously ill after returning?
"
"The sixth year of Zhenguan?" Changsun Wuji looked thoughtful, "Isn't it the year before you got married? Oh! As a father, I have some impressions. It seems that there were a lot of people there that time. I originally planned to hang out for a few more days, but when I left,
You even brought your camp tent with you, but you came back less than a day later. After you came back, you stayed in bed for three days, but the imperial doctor didn't diagnose or treat any illness. But that time?"
Changsun Chong's face was distorted, as if he couldn't bear to look back, and he seemed to have endless hatred: "That time when we arrived at Jiuwei Mountain, Li Chengqian wanted to compete with the child in equestrian skills. The child agreed on the spot, but before he could run out a few steps, Li Chengqian's equestrian
The horse was frightened, kicked up its legs, and knocked the child off the horse. When the child landed, he was kicked by Li Chengqian's horse again...mentioned..."
Changsun Wuji asked anxiously: "Where did it hit?"
Changsun Chong's face was ashen, and the veins on his forehead were bulging out like poisonous snakes. Thinking of the unbearable scene that ruined his life, he said word by word: "Kicked to the point of death!"
At first, it was precisely because the injured part was too secretive that Changsun Chong was too embarrassed to mention it to the imperial physician. He endured the severe pain and thought that it would heal naturally after some time. However, he did not expect that it was precisely because the disease was concealed that the best treatment time was delayed.
Leading to a lifetime of regrets.
But he poured all his resentment on Prince Li Chengqian...
Changsun Wuji was stunned.
Changsun Chong looked ferocious and shouted: "That time, the child's life was ruined! It was Li Chengqian! It was he who ruined the child's life! The child and Li Zhi were childhood sweethearts. He married Li Zhi, but he could not perform the courtesy of Zhou Gong. He could not
He is not willing to give birth to children! Therefore, He will also destroy Li Chengqian, destroy him completely, and make him beyond redemption! He is quite an emperor? Just dream!"
The deepest scar in his heart was violently opened, and pus and blood spattered out unbridled. The heart-rending and despairing pain made Changsun Chong completely hysterical and collapsed!
"Stop, stop, stop!" Changsun Wuji was confused. He heard that his son meant this because he was hurt by Li Chengqian during that hunting. He had damaged his roots as a man and could no longer have sex as a couple, but...
"As a reward, my father asked Your Majesty to take a concubine for you because you and Li Zhi have no heirs. Your Majesty has already agreed. Didn't you keep two maids in your room, and one of them is pregnant?" Changsun Wuji was a little confused.
It’s chaotic and I can’t keep up with my son’s rhythm.
Changsun Chong burst into tears: "That maid, the baby didn't even move. The baby in her belly was the result of the baby instructing her to have sex with the guards. The baby didn't want to be regarded as a useless person by the world, and made people laugh at every turn.
This is the last resort..."
The deepest secret deep in his heart is completely exposed to others. Even if this person is his father, the shame and low self-esteem is enough to make Changsun Chong melt into a pile of mud...
Changsun Wuji opened his mouth like five thunderbolts struck his head, but nothing came out...
My son, who I have always regarded as a proud son, has actually lost his foundation as a man, but my father doesn’t know it yet...
Changsun Wuji looked at his eldest son who was weeping and losing his mind. Two lines of old tears could not help but flow down. His heart felt like a knife cutting him. He subconsciously reached out and held his son's head tightly in his arms, crying non-stop.
On top of his son's head, he said in a trembling voice: "My son has suffered, my son has suffered..."
As a father, when he learns that his son is a disabled person, the heart-piercing pain cannot be expressed in words.
The father and son hugged each other and cried.
But Changsun Wuji had seen strong winds and waves after all. After crying for a while, he remembered more important things.
He stopped crying and asked: "Chong'er, were you involved in Hou Jun's rebellion case?"
"This..." Changsun Chong's expression flickered.
The acquaintance of his son, Mo Ruofu, saw Changsun Chong's expression. Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat, but in order to confirm, he hurriedly asked: "You're telling me! If it was just a quarrel with the prince, my father would naturally be able to tell this
If I tell you the matter and seek your Majesty's forgiveness, I believe that Your Majesty will feel guilty because of this matter! But if it is involved in the case of Hou Junji's rebellion, then it will be a disaster..."
Now that things have come to this, what else does Changsun Chong have to hide?
Then he told how he secretly connected with Hou Junji, Li Yuanhao and others, and how he planned to betray Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang in one fell swoop, thus accomplishing the great feat of rescuing the enemy.
He was originally full of confidence that with such meritorious deeds, he would be able to rise to another level. He could not even rely on his father to hold the position of Duke. By then, one family and two Dukes would become the most prominent family in the Tang Dynasty.
What an honor?
But now that your majesty knows that he framed the prince, you can't even think about these achievements. What's more, listening to what your father said, your majesty already suspects that he is involved in the Hou Junji case?
This time I didn't dare to hide anything and told everything honestly.
Changsun Wuji was so angry that his whole body was burning with anger. However, seeing how pitiful his son looked, he couldn't bear to scold him and could only sigh: "Son, why are you so confused? The prince is the prince and the emperor is the emperor. There is a difference between them.
How could you not know? You shouldn't take revenge on the prince, but at least you still have this name. Even if you sacrifice this old face for your father, you can save your life in front of His Majesty. But this serious crime of treason is a serious crime that involves the nine clans.
Pardon or not, how can that emperor tolerate such a traitor? He is really confused!"
Changsun Chong felt regretful and could only say: "Aren't you angry when you see Fang Jun being favored by His Majesty? That Bangchui just luckily defeated some Turkic rabble in the Western Regions, so he seems to have made great achievements.
Children are no worse than him!"
Changsun Wuji looked at Changsun Chong and felt heartbroken!
He has always been proud of his eldest son, but he never imagined that his jealousy was so deep! If he had known this earlier and had a little understanding, how could he have embarked on such a desperate path of rebellion?
Changsun Wuji sighed helplessly and burst into tears: "For the present plan, my son should fly far away. Even if Your Majesty does not take your life, I am afraid you will be imprisoned for life. It is better to die than live. It is better to hide your name and find someone."
A deserted mountain and wild forest, ending this remaining life..."
"No!" Changsun Chong exclaimed: "Father, go and beg your Majesty, saying that the child knows that he has made a mistake and is willing to change his ways. If you don't do anything anymore, go and take the beauty back and take care of yourself at home.
Have a good life, okay?"
When he thought about it, he was inhumanely harmed by Li Chengqian, and the Li family owed him. Even if he had committed the crime of treason, his father's meritorious service and the Li family's debt to him would be enough to offset it! What's more, if Chang Le was killed,
When the princess takes it back, it's like getting another amulet. At worst, she can become a rich man. What's the difficulty?
Changsun Wuji once again re-examined his son.
How could this son, who has always been as gentle as jade, clever and well-behaved, become not only jealous but also so selfish?
He concealed his hidden illness and did not report it. He had already harmed Princess Changle. Do he want to continue harming her for the rest of his life?
For so many years, even I, the father, didn’t know that my son had such a hidden disease. Thinking about how many times Princess Changle had to endure the glares in front of others without saying a word, how depressing it must have been? He even went so far as to brazenly follow up.
Your Majesty said that the princess had no descendants and gave her son a concubine...
Even a thick-faced and sinister person like Changsun Wuji felt ashamed!
But what can be done?
Who said this is his son...
Changsun Wuji sighed and said in despair: "Chong'er, don't take chances and fly far away. As a father, I can only do this for you..."
