Chapter 595
“…?!”
Chen Wansheng was stunned when he heard Chen Dongsheng's words and was completely shocked.
When he learned that the Shen family's private soldiers were heading to Lingshui Village, he had many guesses, but the truth was more than 108,000 miles away from his guesses!
After a while, Chen Wansheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Dad, are you kidding?"
"Even if you want to promote Marquis Wucheng to the throne, our family will make enemies when they go to Lingshui Village. Are you not afraid that Marquis Wucheng will make things difficult for us after he takes office?"
"Isn't this you?"
Chen Dongsheng smiled, "And, those who accomplish great things are not careful about minorities!"
"If you don't want to take any risks, why should you fight for this merit of following the dragon?"
"I can't bear to bear the child and can't trap the wolf!"
“…?!”
Chen Wansheng no longer knows what to say.
Before he returned home, he specifically met Mr. Xu. The two had a profound conversation, talking about whether to sit or not.
Judging from the conversation at that time, Mr. Xu was not interested in the throne.
Chen Wansheng told his father about this after he came back.
"Father, I remember, I told you that Wu Chenghou had no idea about that position."
Chen Wansheng looked at his father with a serious expression.
"Our family doesn't want to be the target of public criticism, you just want to recommend Wu Chenghou. I want to ask you, where did you place your son when you make this decision?"
"Now, Marquis Wucheng already knows that those people are from our Shen family. How do you ask your son to meet Marquis Wucheng in the future?"
"And so, how should my son reply to this letter from Wu Chenghou?"
After hearing Chen Wansheng's words, Chen Dongsheng immediately laughed out loud and said, "This is naturally to be honest!"
"This matter was my decision, so I will definitely give Wu Chenghou an explanation!"
"In the past few days, I will gather my clan members for my father and hand over the position of the clan leader to you. From then on, you have the final say in the matter of the Shen family in Changshan."
"ah……?!"
When Chen Wansheng heard these words, he exclaimed and burst into tears.
"Dad, no, are you, is this an explanation?"
"Why do I think you are taking the opportunity to give up!"
Chen Wansheng, who once took charge of the country, knew very well how hard it was to be the master of his family.
The Shen family of Changshan is the controller of Changshan Prefecture in the practical sense.
Compared to the prefect of Changshan Prefecture, the clan leader of the Shen family has to take care of more things. Because the power of the Changshan Shen family is Changshan Prefecture, but this does not mean that Changshan Prefecture has no power elsewhere.
"Haha, this doesn't matter!"
Chen Dongsheng smiled and waved his hand, "The key now is that you have to convince Marquis Wu Cheng!"
"Let me say that, there are many families who chose Wucheng Hou. Have you ever thought about the reason why my father asked our family to be this pioneer?"
Chen Dongsheng threw a question over, and Chen Wansheng shook his head decisively.
He hasn't come back to his senses from this series of facts yet, so how can he have the spirit to think about why his father did these things?
“Controlable!”
Chen Dongsheng sighed, "Our family members have failed. So, it shows that Wu Chenghou's protection for his family is in place, proving that he knows what he is doing now will cause."
"If our people succeed, then at least the safety of the Xu family will be guaranteed."
"Dad, then, why did you want someone to destroy Lingshui Village?"
"Don't you know that Marquis Wu Cheng values feelings very much. He has lived in Lingshui Village for so many years..."
Chen Wansheng's thinking followed Chen Dongsheng. While approving of his father's explanation, he also caught the loopholes.
"It is indeed my order to destroy the village!"
Chen Dongsheng pulled the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at Chen Wansheng very seriously, "But after today, I will never admit this."
"You have to know that the imperial etiquette is not about treating guests to dinner or playing house for children. Anyone who wants to go to that position will have to experience a bloody storm."
"Do you think Marquis of Wu Cheng can change without experiencing some special pain?"
Chen Dongsheng's face was not very solemn, "Of course, our Shen family doesn't need to take the blame for this."
Chen Wansheng frowned, and instantly understood what his father meant, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean is that the person who led the team this time is another spy?"
"It's been trained!"
Chen Dongsheng nodded, "That's right!"
"From the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizu tried every means to weaken the influence of the aristocratic families. In the face of the general trend, all aristocratic families could only compromise, because, under the circumstances at that time, opposing the court was to hit the stone with eggs."
"The compromise of the Shi family has brought about the intensification of the imperial court."
"Although the court's attitude towards the aristocratic families was eased after Emperor Taizu's death, in fact, it was just a matter of turning some things from open to dark."
"Local families, including those noble families, are hidden by the royal family."
"This is the Nightingale!"
Chen Dongsheng smiled slightly and told Chen Wansheng about the whole story clearly.
This time, the attack on the Xu family was indeed a private soldier from the Shen family, but the person in charge of the matter was Nightingale.
Many people don’t know about the existence of the nightingale.
Even Chen Wansheng heard this term for the first time.
"Dad, then, do we have this person from Nightingale?"
Chen Wansheng blinked, and felt more and more that he felt that the position of the head of the family he was about to take over was a hot potato. This was really more tiring than being a prefect in Xiangyi Prefecture.
"Of course there is!"
Chen Dongsheng smiled, "When you take the position of the head of the family, you will know how many nightingale people there are in our family."
“As for how to deal with these people?”
"It depends on how the situation develops. At least, before the Tang Dynasty was completely rescued, these people still have to be raised!"
After hearing what Chen Dongsheng said, Chen Wansheng felt even worse.
It was a good thing that he thought his father was determined to destroy the Tang Dynasty, but as a result, his father wanted to make preparations for a long time.
"Boy, what's your eyes?"
When Chen Dongsheng saw his son's slightly contemptuous eyes, he immediately lowered his face, "Do you think your father is a half-hearted person?"
"The reason why I don't attack Nightingale's people now is that I don't want to be a target!"
"Nightinging has been passed down for a hundred years, not a simple spy intelligence organization. Nightinging also has its own killer force. If Nightingale goes crazy and treats our Shen family as a mortal enemy, do you know how many people will die in our family?"
"Everyone says that the Underworld is the strongest among the killer organizations, but in fact, the Nightingale's killer is no worse than the Underworld."
"Many times, the nightingale kills people, but takes the blame to the underworld!"
