Changsun Chong was extremely disgusted with the marriage proposed by Mr. Yuan. Not to mention that he was inhumane. The key point was that he was so focused on returning to Chang'an. What was the benefit of being too involved with Goguryeo?
He just regarded Goguryeo as a stepping stone...
He immediately declined and said: "The prince is really in love with the wrong person. I am a guilty person. How dare you blaspheme the rich man's wealth? I hope that the prince will persuade me to give up this idea. I will never dare to follow it."
Yuan Nanzi said anxiously: "This is the best of both worlds, and it will definitely create a good story. Why is the eldest grandson so resistant? Besides, you know your father's temper. He always says what he says and no one dares to disobey him." If you refuse at this moment, I am afraid that you will anger my father, and no one will be able to dissuade me at that time."
This is really not to scare Changsun Chong. Yuan Gaesuwen's temper is "Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish." He is cruel, cruel and inhumane. Once Changsun Chong is angered, not only will Changsun Chong be unable to eat and walk away, but he will also He, the "introducer", will also suffer the same consequences.
Changsun Chong: "..."
Why is your family like this? !
Covering his forehead, he said helplessly: "Then go."
After all, he has to rely on his contribution to stealing Goguryeo military aircraft to achieve the purpose of being pardoned by His Majesty Li Er, so that he can return to Chang'an. Yeon Gaesumun must not offend him, otherwise once he is thrown into idleness and expelled from the government, there will be no chance of getting him again. The core secret of Goguryeo.
Could it be that he was going to be the first man in the Tang Dynasty who used his body as bait to steal the enemy's secrets at the expense of his own body in the enemy's camp?
However, even if you want to sacrifice yourself, you are still powerless...
Changsun Chong was extremely depressed and had no choice but to follow Mr. Yuan to see Yuan Gaisuwen. As soon as they met, Yuan Gaisuwen got straight to the point and went straight to the point: "I have heard that the young master and the princess of the Tang Dynasty reconciled. He has such a character and appearance as the young master. You are worthy of the praise of a 'gentleman', but I can't bear to see you wandering around and being helpless, so I want to betroth my daughter to the young master as his wife, so that we can work together and be friends with Qin and Jin forever. It can also make the young master regard Goguryeo as his second son. I want to stay here in my hometown with peace of mind. I will appoint the young master as the Zaoyi ancestor of Da Moli Zhifu to take charge of the military aircraft for me. If there is merit after the war, I will ask the king to reward him for his merit and give it to the great envoy. What is your official rank? I wonder what the young master wants?"
I have to say that this is already very sincere.
The official position of "Zaoyi ancestor" is equivalent to "adjutant". Its status and official rank depend on which yamen it is in. Generally speaking, the higher the yamen's rank, the higher the status and power of this official position. Damolizhi is the first-class official position in Goguryeo. One person can hold more than tens of thousands of people, and he can open a government and build a government office. Therefore, this "ancestor of Zaoyi" is almost the one with the highest status and power among the same official positions in Goguryeo. .
The "adjutant" of Damolizhi represents the interests of Yeon Gaesumun, and must be a confidant among his confidants. If Yeon Gaesumun is less than one person in Goguryeo and more than ten thousand people, then once Changsun Chong accepts this In terms of official position, he is one person below ten thousand people in Da Molizhi Mansion.
The "Great Messenger" may not seem to have a high official rank, but he is an extremely important one in the Goguryeo official system. He is the seventh level among the twelve levels of "high officials" in Goguryeo. He is in charge of the connection and communication between the palace and the court, and is responsible for the entire palace inside and outside. Everything must be handled by the "Great Messenger".
Possessing the power to "isolate China and foreign countries"...
Obviously, Yuan Gaisuwen was determined to win him over. The purpose was naturally that once Pingrang City was captured by the Tang army, he might be able to save the blood of the Yuan clan from being wiped out.
Changsun Chong knew that he could not refuse openly and could only use the method of delaying: "Marriage is a major matter, the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Although I am in a foreign land, my parents are still here. Without the parents' orders, how can I dare to make a private decision for life? ? We still need to write a letter to my father about this matter, and we can only make a decision after my father gives his approval."
Yuan Gaisu Wen nodded and said: "This is human nature, but your father is currently accompanying the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to build An City, and he will probably arrive in Anshi City later. You may wish to write a letter of divorce right now and ask your father for permission."
From these words, we can see the domineering character of Yeon Gae So-moon.
It is natural for you to ask your father, but your father must agree and cannot object, otherwise I will blame you for being rude.
Changsun Chong: "...If that's the case, how can I not allow it? Thank you so much for your love. After I return, I will write a letter of divorce and send it to the front line of Anshi City."
Is there such a bizarre thing in the world? The two countries are fighting life and death at the front, but here they are discussing marriage. If His Majesty Li Er finds out, I wonder if he will be charged with "liaison with an enemy chief" and will never be allowed to return to the Tang Dynasty...
But how can people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves?
In order to return to Chang'an, he must gain the trust of Yeon Gaesumun, so that he can steal the secrets of Goguryeo.
Yeon Gaesumun was obviously very happy. He stroked his beard and said, "There is no rush in this matter. After all, my daughter is young and it will take a few years to get married. But now that the matter is settled, you will be my son-in-law. You might as well take up the post of 'Ancestor of Zaoyi' immediately and help me manage the defense of Pingrang City, the dispatch of troops, and the transportation of grain and fodder, and I will not treat you unfairly if you work hard."
Changsun Chong was overjoyed. He "contributed his body and used it as bait", but the reward was so quick?
Once you can participate in the defense of Pingrang City, your grasp of the entire situation will be improved to a higher level, and it will be easier to access the core secrets of Goguryeo. When the Tang army goes south to attack Pingrang City, there may be no need for Yuan Boy to open the attack. If the city surrenders, as long as you hand over all the defenses of Pingrang City to the Tang army in detail, you can easily capture the capital of Goguryeo.
What kind of feat is that?
It's probably just a little bit worse than Fang Jun's defeat of Xue Yantuo...
He quickly knelt down on the ground and saluted: "Thank you so much for your trust in Da Molizhi. I will definitely fulfill my mission and assist Da Molizhi in completing the defense of Pingrang City. I will coordinate various ministries to defend Pingrang City impregnably and teach the Tang army." Repeat the mistakes of the previous Sui Dynasty and return in vain and defeated!"
Yeon Gaesumun laughed loudly and said happily: "If this is really the case, I will recommend you to become the Laisa of the north. What's the difficulty?"
After the Tang army started fighting, Gao Yanshou, the original leader of Lisa in the north, quickly lost the Liaoshui natural moat and suffered defeat after defeat, leaving Xue Wanche's troops of the Tang army in a state of no one. No matter what the future war situation is, Gao Yanshou's official position in Laisa in the north is bound to be difficult to maintain. Although Yeon Gaesomun is now Da Moliji and is in charge of the military and political power of Goguryeo, the traditional "five tribes" in the country always have the tendency to resist, in case the official position of Laisa in the north falls into the hands of the leader of the "five tribes" , it will be a huge challenge for him to control the country.
This official position must be in your own hands.
Changsun Chong said: "Thank you so much for your support, Molizhi!"
Mr. Yuan on the side saw that the marriage was settled. Changsun Chong was even more important to his father. He became even more happy and said with a smile: "Why are you still calling Da Molizhi? At this time, it is time to change your words."
Called "father-in-law"?
Changsun Chong opened his mouth and found that this was really disgusting, so he had to say: "Now the war situation is in full swing. The enemy is strong and we are weak. It is the time for everyone to unite wholeheartedly. It is best not to announce this marriage for the time being, otherwise it will be said It may shake the morale of the military."
Yuan Gaisuwen became more and more satisfied with Changsun Chong's performance, nodded and said in appreciation: "That's it. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are fighting fiercely with the Tang army at the front. If I marry Young Master Changsun at this time, it will be hard for those soldiers and civilians who don't know the situation to feel betrayed. , which is not good for the morale of the military and should not be made public for the time being."
He glanced at the angry Yuan Nanjian next to him and warned: "Especially you, I know you have never obeyed the eldest grandson, but such a major matter is related to the future of the family. If you dare to make your own decisions and act arbitrarily, I will never forgive you. you!"
Yuan Nan was wondering whether he should publicize this matter and then use the public opinion between the government and the opposition to force his father to take back his life and change his mind. After hearing this, he was frightened and said hurriedly: "Father, don't worry, the child knows the importance!"
But in my heart, I became more and more jealous.
Now that the family is married to Changsun Chong, they will definitely get help from the Changsun family. Regardless of whether Goguryeo can continue the country in this war, the influence of the Tang Dynasty will increase as never before. Based on the relationship between the elder brother and the eldest son Chong, he will almost become the spokesperson of the eldest son's family in Goguryeo. I am afraid that even his father will not be able to take away his status as the heir apparent.
How could I just watch this happen? I have to do something...
