Chapter 117: Brothers and Sisters of the Eldest Grandson(1/2)
"How could this happen?" Changsun Yiwuji stretched out his hand to take the bundle of books. He looked at Xu Shiqi Xin seriously, with a look of surprise on his face, and looked at Lu Zhaoci.
"I don't know how long I can be King of Han?" Lu Zhaoci said with a wry smile, "Assistant machine, at this time, I am very envious of the former Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. He has a senior grandson, for whom
The threat of the Turks is ignored, but it is a pity that now there is no Chang Sun Chen, and the people of the Tang Dynasty will face another military disaster."
"It seems that you are not ready to pursue the marriage policy? Is it because of the relationship between His Highness and Princess Pingyang?" Changsun Wuji said with a trace of sarcasm on his lips.
"The auxiliary machine has the talent of a national scholar, I don't believe you can't see the charm in it.
When Lu Zhaoci heard that the other party had changed from calling him by his first name to calling him Your Highness, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is very cunning. He has anticipated all this and raised troops to meet the enemy.
Not only is it possible that we, the Tang Dynasty, will be trapped in a three-sided attack, but there are also many people waiting for Gu Lai to make a mistake, and finally a group of people will attack, and it will be difficult for Gu Lai to survive; if he does not resist, he will pursue harmony and marriage.
.Hehe, if you can't even protect a woman, how can you protect the people under your command? Others have no confidence in Gu. What's more, how can the dignity of the empire be exchanged for a woman's breasts? Even if Gu is dead, he will not agree to this.
That's why I was walking on the street. I thought of the eldest grandson who I had guessed before. I couldn't help but come to the auxiliary machine. It made everyone laugh.
Changsun Wuji nodded, but did not reveal his purpose. He looked at the bundle of books in his hand, frowned, and thought about Pian Xuan, then stood up suddenly and walked towards the backyard. Lu Zhaoci saw this
He was very surprised in his heart. Knowing that Changsun Wuji must have thought of something, he didn't follow him and just waited in the hall.
Sure enough, after a short film, Changsun Wuji came to the hall carrying some documents and threw them on a few cases. After looking at them carefully for a long time, he shook his head and said: "Chu Luo Khan
Although he was on good terms with his late father, his father recorded that this man was very strategic, which can be seen from the compromise between him and his nephew Ashina Yongyuge for the throne of Khan. Your Highness.
This person is quite difficult to deal with."
"Yes, the Turks are very sharp, and Gu also knows this. That's why he felt embarrassed. Lu Zhaoci nodded and said, "The imperial court has limited troops. Before the Central Plains are unified, it would be very difficult to fight against the Turks.
If it succeeds, neither Wang Shichong nor Gu Jiande will give up this opportunity. Gu has ordered Li Jing to lead the southern expedition army. If we capture Jiangnan within twenty days, maybe we still have a chance to fight the Turks. If not, I'm afraid,
That would be dangerous."
"Twenty days?" Changsun Wuji's eyes widened when he heard this. Although he knew that Li Jing and Li Xiaogong teamed up to win consecutive battles in the south of the Yangtze River and defeated Xiao Mian to a complete defeat, but if Xiao Mian could be eliminated within twenty days, what would happen?
It's not an ordinary difficulty.
"There is nothing I can do." Lu Zhaoci did not hide it from Changsun Wuji, and sighed: "If Xiao Rui cannot be eliminated within twenty days, let Li Jing return to Beijing and sit in Huangguan to resist Wang Shichong. Gu will lead an army of 50,000 people.
He personally rushed to Mayi to resist the Turkic army from Dingxiang."
"Twenty days?" Changsun Wuji frowned. After thinking about it carefully, he sighed and said, "If your highness can trust me, I would like to go to Dingxiang to see this Chuluo Khan. Can you?"
It would be good to persuade him to give up and get close to nature. If not, I will delay it for a while longer for His Highness."
"The auxiliary machine is really willing to go to Dingxiang?" Lu Zhaoci looked at Changsun Wuji in surprise.
"My father was also very dissatisfied with Emperor Wen back then, but he still went north to the grassland to serve the country. Although I am dissatisfied with Your Highness now, the Turks are the enemy of the entire Central Plains at this time. I should follow my father's legacy and serve our country in the Central Plains.
Let's make a contribution to An Ning." Changsun Wuji's eyes flickered. He was unwilling to work for Lu Zhaoci, at least not now, but he knew the reason why Lu Zhaoci came to Changsun Mansion this time.
Although he came here randomly, he did it intentionally, just to let himself go north to the grassland. If he succeeded, he would not only avoid a war, but also make himself useful to him. Although he was not willing to join Lu Zhao just like this
Ci's camp, but he had to go because of his father. Changsun Kun was not only famous for being good at shooting, but also famous for pacifying the Turks for Emperor Wen Yang Jian. He was the son of Changsun Chen.
He couldn't let his father's reputation be ruined by his own hands. He joined Li Shimin's army and fought tooth and nail to win the crown prince position for Li Shimin. Wasn't it just to have the opportunity to carry forward his eldest son's family in the future? The current situation is different from that of Emperor Wen Yang Jian at the time.
Isn't the situation very similar? Once I help Lu Zhaoci settle this matter, my reputation will be like my father's, famous all over the world, and the prestige of the Changsun family will shine in Guanzhong again.
"Okay, let's add the auxiliary machine as Zuo Xunwei's cavalry general, and send the envoy Dingxiang. Lu Zhaoci was overjoyed. He stood up and bowed to Changsun Wuji. He said: "Brother auxiliary machine, the safety of the Tang Dynasty is in danger.
It all depends on the auxiliary equipment. General Zuo Xunwei, Chariot and Cavalry General, was the official position held by the eldest Sun Yuan at that time. Lu Zhaoci's move was to respond to the eldest grandson Wuji when Emperor Wen came to Changsun Chen. This shows that he attaches great importance to eldest grandson Wuji.
For Changsun Wuji, who wants to revitalize the reputation of the Changsun family, this is a very different body.
"I thank you, Your Highness. After I have arranged my family, I will set off for Dingxiang." Changsun Wuji really couldn't bear the temptation of restoring the prestige of Changsun's family, so he agreed on the spot.
"Okay, when the auxiliary aircraft returns, Gu Dangqin went ten miles away to greet Lu Zhaoci, stood up, patted Changsun Wuji on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Changsun Wuji simply continued: "Since Your Highness can use me, I think he can also use me for the scholars in Tiance Mansion. Although I am not talented, I am willing to recruit some for Your Highness."
"Zhao Ci thanked the assistants, but I was afraid that these people would not be willing to assist me!" Lu Zhaoci shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Winning a king or losing a bandit has always been the same principle since ancient times. As long as Your Highness works harder, it will naturally be used by Your Highness." Changsun Wuji was also very straightforward. He went to Lu Zhaoqi without saying anything, and also wanted to recruit Du Ruhui and others.
Pulled into Lu Zhaoci's camp.
"I have written down the words of the auxiliary machine." Lu Zhaoci thought for a while and suddenly said: "I heard that the auxiliary machine has a girl from the same clan. I wonder if I can be married to her?"
Changsun Wuji was stunned when he heard the words, but he quickly reacted, his heart moved slightly, and he quickly responded: "The words you have given me back to the king are still in my boudoir, and I have not been betrothed to anyone else."
"The lonely king has a younger brother who is brave by nature. I don't know if he is a good match," Lu Zhaoci asked casually.
When Changsun Wuji heard that he was not married to Lu Zhaoci, he felt a little disappointed. However, when he heard that she was married to Lu Zhaoying, he naturally knew the status of Lu Zhaoying in Lu Zhaoci's heart, so he quickly agreed and said: "That's it.
I’m afraid I’m no longer worthy of the Fourth General.”
"Haha, Gu's fourth brother is not worthy of your sister." Lu Zhaoci saw Changsun Wuji agreeing. He was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Assistant, when you return from Dingxiang, Gu will come to propose marriage in person.
"I'm so proud of you." Changsun Wuji responded quickly.
"Okay, auxiliary machine, I will say goodbye now. The next day, I will have a drink with auxiliary machine Lu Zhaoci and solve some troubles. Most of the depression in my heart has also disappeared. I also know that Changsun Wuji has family matters to attend to.
Since he didn't want to stay any longer, he said goodbye and left. Changsun Wuji personally sent him out of the house to tell everyone in Chang'an City that Changsun Wuji had returned to the officialdom of Chang'an. And Lu Zhao
Ci also took the opportunity to collect a dozen Zuoyao guards who were guarding Changsun Wuji's mansion.
"Father, you took refuge with Lu Zhaoci, but he killed your uncle!" the eldest grandson said in confusion.
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is the unchangeable truth. Now that the entire Tang Dynasty is under his control, where else can we go except to take refuge with him?" When Changsun Wuji thought of Li Shimin, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
He spoke with a hint of sadness on his face. He and Li Shimin were almost close friends, and they cooperated very well. But at this moment, he understood that the hope for the revitalization of the Changsun family lay in him. If he didn't change, he would not change.
There is no possibility of revitalization for the Changsun family. If the Changsun family wants to revitalize, its only hope is to stay close to Lu Zhaoci. The path that Lu Zhaoci is taking now is the path that Li Yuan followed, or even any tycoon. I'm afraid.
It won't be long before he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor. If he doesn't turn to Lu Zhaoci at this moment, the Changsun family will face disaster. This is something Changsun Wuji can't stop. So he can only give up his feelings and even family ties. Come on.
Preserve the Changsun family.
"Okay, tell your mother to pack your bags. I'm going to Dingxiang tomorrow." Changsun Wuji looked up at the sky, suddenly thought of something, waved his hand, and immediately left the Changsun Mansion and headed towards the former Qin Prince's Mansion.
Go. There is also a poor sister at the Prince of Qin's Mansion. The Xuanwu Gate Incident not only killed Prince Qin, but also caused his nephew Cheng Qian to die at the hands of Feng Li and others in the East Palace. This was what made him saddest.
"Stop, you are not allowed to trespass here." Changsun Wuji arrived at the Prince of Qin's Mansion unknowingly. In just a few days, the Prince of Qin's Mansion had long lost its original solemnity and solemnity, and there was no bustling traffic around it.
There were only dozens of guards guarding the Yimen, paying cold attention to everything in front of the mansion. Their cold gazes made people shudder. The pedestrians were so frightened that they could only quickly leave the road of Prince Qin's mansion. No one could see them.
Dare to take another look...
"His Royal Highness the King of Han, Sun Wuji, the new cavalry general of the Zuo Xun Guard, saw this and his face was calm. Sun Wuji coldly reported his new official position. "My lord, please." Who in today's Chang'an City does not know the name of the King of Han.
What's more, these people guarding the Prince of Qin's Mansion were all soldiers under Lu Zhaoci's tent, and they were very loyal to Lu Zhaoci. When they heard that the other party was personally appointed by the King of Han, they did not dare to stop him, and quickly let Changsun Wuji in.
Prince Qin's Mansion.
Changsun Wuji followed a familiar road and entered Prince Qin's Mansion. He suddenly sighed. In just a few days, things and people here had already changed. Only a few palace maids and eunuchs were walking cautiously among the pavilions.
There was a cautious look on his face. Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart. He shook his head and hurried towards the place where Changsun Wuji lived.
As soon as Wang entered the backyard, he heard the cry of a baby. Changsun Wuji couldn't help but frowned. This was the child born to the former eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty. For some reason, he managed to survive the chaos.
A life. If possible, Changsun Wuji would like to exchange Li Ke's life for Li Chengqian's life. In this way, his sister will not have the pain of losing a son.
"Wu Niang." The eldest grandson Wugao ranked in the eldest grandson's family.
"Brother is here!" After a long while, the eldest Sun Wugou came out of the house. Behind her was Yang Ning'er, the former eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty. In her arms was a baby, who was Li Ke.
However, Changsun Wuji did not look at her, but at Changsun Wugou. The originally young and pretty Changsun Wugou now had a thin face and a pale complexion. His phoenix eyes, which were originally as deep and charming as a pool of water, also became dim and dull.
"Li Shimin's death obviously hit her hard.
"Why are you here, sir?" The person who asked the question was not Changsun Wugou, but Yang Ning'er.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han ordered me to send an envoy to the Turks." Changsun Wuji thought for a while and replied honestly.
"Sir, have you taken refuge with Lu Zhaoci?" Not only Yang Ning'er looked at Changsun Wuji with suspicious eyes, but Changsun Wugou also looked at Changsun Wuji curiously, obviously waiting for Changsun Wuji's explanation.
"His Majesty has sent people to Dingxiang and asked Chuluo Khan to send people to the Tang Dynasty to ask for his hand in marriage. He is planning to marry Princess Pingyang. His Royal Highness the King of Han named him his elder brother Zuo Xunwei Chariot General and ordered him to go to the Turkic eldest grandson.
Wuji quickly explained.
"Ah! Princess Pingyang?" Yang Ning'er's expression changed and she asked her grandson Wu Dao in surprise.
Compared to Yang Ning'er's surprise, Changsun Wujia's expression only changed slightly. He nodded slightly, looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Brother, come in and talk!" After that, he turned around and walked into the house.
Go. Of course she knows the significance of Zuo Xunwei Chariot General, which was the official position of her late father. Lu Zhaoci used this official title to reward Changsun Wuji because he wanted to help Changsun Wuji revitalize the Changsun family. She knew that Lu Zhaoci
It hit Changsun Wuji's weak spot. No one knew her brother's thoughts better than her. Her brother shouldered the dream of revitalizing the Changsun family. Wasn't it just for one day that he had worked hard for decades? Although she felt sorry for Changsun Wuji.
The behavior feels a little angry, but more understanding.
Zhangsun Wuji, who was behind him, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He knew that his sister had forgiven him. This made him very happy.
"Dingxiang is a land of tigers and wolves. Brother, you must be more careful when you go here!" Changsun Wuguo knelt on the ground and said softly.
"Chuluo Khan and his father are close friends. It is expected that Changsun Wuji will not embarrass his brother. He glanced at his biological sister and sighed: "I am going to Dingxiang. The only one I can't worry about is Wu Niang.
"
"My little sister is doing well here. Although Lu Zhaoci killed King Qin, he still didn't embarrass us. Changsun Wugou showed a wry smile on his face. He didn't embarrass us, but he also lost his personal freedom. It's still a world away from before.
There was something else, but it was difficult to say it in front of Changsun Wuji.
"After my brother returns from Dingxiang, my sister will move into the house!" Changsun Wuji said softly.
To be continued...
