Chapter 56 The eldest grandson, father and son
After the dynasty was dispersed, all the ministers returned to their homes. Everyone was still in mind about the matter at the court meeting. On the way out of the palace, they frowned and were thinking about something. The same was true for Changsun Wuji, who had just played an important role in the court.
Although today's affairs have been temporarily deduced, Changsun Wuji knows what this court meeting means. What should come will come eventually and will not give up just because of this court meeting. If the handling is not appropriate, the situation in the court is likely to be resilient and the earth will shake. The Changsun family is both a powerful and a royal relative. As the head of the Changsun family, Changsun Wuji has to make complete plans.
Changsun Wuji was walking on the dragon path that left the palace, while frowning and thinking. At this moment, Changsun Wuji's eldest son, Changsun, chased him.
"Dad stay." Changsun Chong quickly walked behind Changsun Wuji and said to Changsun Wuji.
Although Changsun Wuji had something to do, he couldn't help but smile on his face as he heard the voice of his beloved son behind him.
For a long time, in Changsun Wuji's heart, Changsun Chong was the most capable of his own sons, but that was only limited to talent and virtue. Changsun Chong's temperament was still too cowardly and could not take on a great responsibility.
But just eight years later, Changsun Chong rushed into Li Ke's school and followed the north. In just a few years, Changsun Chong began to grow and transform at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming tenacious, decisive, and responsible. He had become a rising star in the Tang Dynasty. He even received several public praises from Li Shimin, which made Changsun Wuji look shining.
It is difficult for Changsun Wuji to investigate the reason why Changsun Wuji transformed in this way, because of Li Ke, and because he was in the north, as Changsun Chong said, since he entered Li Ke's disciples, he naturally learned a lot.
Because of different political views and different positions, Changsun Wuji rarely even praised Changsun Chong in person, but Changsun Wuji already recognized the eldest son in his heart and regarded Changsun Chong as the best candidate to succeed his family leader.
Listening to Changsun Chong's voice, Changsun Wuji turned around and asked Changsun Chong: "What's the matter when Chong'er calls me?"
Changsun Wuji turned around and quickly put away the smile on his face. Even though he was quite satisfied with his beloved son, he still hoped to play the role of a strict father.
"I have something unknown to me and want to ask my father to teach me." Changsun rushed to Changsun Wuji and said to Changsun Wuji.
"What's the matter? You, my father and son, if you ask, just say it." Changsun Wuji said.
Changsun Chong said, "My father has always been incompatible with the prince. Why did Mr. Dad help the prince in the court just now?"
Just now, wolves were waiting for tigers in the court. The Guanlong clans and the Wei Wang party seized Li Keming's faced fault and wanted to impeach Li Ke, but Changsun Wuji spoke out and waited for Li Ke to ask about this matter in person after returning to Beijing. Changsun Chong thought that he was naturally helping Li Ke.
However, when Changsun Wuji heard this, he shook his head and said, "Chong'er, you think so, that's a bad idea."
Changsun Chong asked in confusion: "What does Dad mean?"
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "It was only halfway through the court meeting, and suddenly I sent the secret letter from the Censorate. When this secret letter came, the situation changed suddenly. Who do you think this secret letter meant?"
In ordinary people think that the secret letter is all about slandering Li Ke. It should be reported by the Guanlong family or those who are not in harmony with Li Ke, but Changsun Chong is also a smart person. After thinking about Changsun Wuji carefully, he understood.
As Changsun Wuji said, before the secret letter was sent, the Guanlong clans and Li Tai were impeaching the East Palace. The officials of the Eastern Palace were just defending themselves. However, as the secret letter was sent in, Li Shimin was furious and the Guanlong clans were all silent. Today's court discussions were then given up. This secret letter was really beneficial to Li Ke.
Changsun Chong said, "Dad means that this secret letter was sent by the prince's order?"
Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "Not all, it's just speculation. No matter who sent this secret letter, there is no real evidence, it's just empty words."
This secret letter was sent anonymously by the Censorate, and there is no need or possibility to continue to investigate. Now, no matter who sent this secret letter, there is no trace, and what Changsun Wuji said naturally has no evidence.
Changsun Chong said a little disappointed: "In this way, my father did not intend to help the prince, but was ending up for others."
Changsun Chong said, and sighed slowly inadvertently. It was obvious that Changsun Wuji's answer was quite disappointed.
Changsun Chong's reaction fell into Changsun Wuji's eyes. Changsun Wuji asked curiously: "It's not been a matter of one or two days since the father and the prince are not in harmony. Why are you sighing?"
Changsun Chong said, "I was thinking that my father had changed his mind. This was the best opportunity for our Changsun family and the prince to let go of their past grudges. I didn't expect that my father would still stand this way."
Changsun Chong is Li Ke's confidant and he is devoted to Li Ke, but Changsun Wuji has always been disagreeing with Li Ke. Changsun Chong is stuck between the king and his father and has a lot of dilemma, so he naturally hopes that there will be such a good opportunity to let Li Ke and Changsun Wuji let go of their past grudges.
Changsun Wuji said, "Chong'er, you think it's simple. It's not just one or two things to make things difficult for your father and the prince. Even if you want to reconcile with the prince, the prince may not be able to win the love of the father just by doing this."
Changsun Chong said, "This matter alone will not be possible, but I just thought of something in the palace. If my father is willing to express his majesty to this matter, the prince will definitely receive my father's affection."
Changsun Wuji listened to Changsun Chong's words and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Changsun paused and replied, "If my father is willing to submit to His Majesty and conferred the prince's biological mother, the concubine as the queen, all the grievances in the past will disappear. As long as my father is willing, I believe that the prince will not be a mean person."
Li Ke's demeanor was not only Changsun Chong, but also Changsun Wuji himself, and Li Ke was never mean. Not to mention anything else, just look at Liu Wei. Liu Wei once had a difficult time with Li Tai's think tank and Li Ke, but when Liu Wei and Li Kebing settled the past, Li Ke still used him as the tutor of King Liang and taught his younger brother, King Liang, Li Yan, that this demeanor was not something that everyone could have.
If it were in the past, Changsun Wuji would have replied without hesitation to Changsun Chong's words, but today hesitated. With Li Ke's ability, if even the Guanlong clan could not move Li Ke at all this time, and even at such a disadvantage, then Li Ke's position as crown prince would be as stable as Mount Tai.
The intention of Li Shimin and Li Ke to suppress the Guanlong family was confirmed. Changsun Wuji and the Changsun family did not want to fall together with these Guanlong family members who started their business, and they were in a slump.
Changsun Wuji thought for a while and asked, "When will the prince continue to pay tribute?"
Li Ke did not tell others about the day he returned to Beijing. Changsun Wuji didn't know, but Changsun Chong, as Li Ke's confidant, naturally knew about it.
Changsun rushed back and said, "The prince can return to Beijing in four days at the latest."
Changsun Wuji said, "Four days later, after the prince returns to Beijing, he will come to visit the prince in person. You can arrange it for him."
"No." Changsun Chong smiled on his face when he heard this.
