Yuan Gaisuwen was domineering and violent. If he knew that Changsun Wuji was opposed to this marriage, he would definitely think that he looked down on the Yuan family's status as a barbarian, and he would almost definitely go crazy on the spot...
Mr. Yuan was a little panicked and said hurriedly: "Master Changsun, you have to be careful about this matter! You Han people have a saying that 'when a general is away, he will disobey the king's orders', not to mention it is just an order from his father? You are still guilty now, If I can't gain my father's trust, how can I make meritorious deeds and get the Emperor of Tang's amnesty to return to Chang'an? It's okay to just endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden. You can never refuse this matter!"
He wanted to inherit the position of the crown prince, and even further inherit the official position of Da Molizhi, and retain the power of the Yuan clan. All his hopes were placed on Changsun Chong, relying on him to contact the Tang Dynasty and gain the support of the Tang Dynasty. .
If his father drove away Changsun Chong or even killed him in anger, wouldn't all his hopes be in vain?
So at this time, he couldn't care about anything. He just wanted to quickly persuade Changsun Chong to settle the marriage. As for his sister's future happiness, he has completely failed to care about it...
Changsun Chong hesitated.
He naturally knew that Yeon Gaesumun's words did make sense. If he could become Yeon Gaesumun's son-in-law, he would be one of the most powerful people in Pyongrang City, especially with Yeon Gaesumun's domineering style, within the capital of Goguryeo. , who dares to mess with him?
In the future, when the Tang army comes to the city, it will be very convenient for him to do whatever he wants.
But my father's anger...
If I had known this, it would have been better to decide the marriage first and then inform my father. Making one's own decisions and disobeying orders are two completely different things...
Tangled in his heart for a moment, Changsun Chong gritted his teeth, took a breath, and nodded: "The prince's words are reasonable. I am now in Pingrang City. My father does not understand the situation around me. It is understandable to disobey orders. I will wait until the future." My father will understand."
Being left or right is just a stop-gap measure, as long as you can gain the trust of Yeon Gaesumun and learn the military secrets of Goguryeo, which will help you achieve great achievements.
After the war, he will definitely return to Chang'an, and Yeon Gae Suwen will undoubtedly die, so why should he care about the current engagement?
Boy Yuan couldn't help being overjoyed. He quickly pulled Changsun Chong and said, "Let's go see father right now."
Seeing the letter on the table, he warned again: "This letter must not be seen by father. Master Changsun only needs to say that your father has no objection, otherwise father will be angry."
Yuan Gaisuwen has always been "those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish", and his will cannot be refuted. If he knew that Changsun Wuji did not allow Changsun Chong to marry his daughter, and would regard joining the Yuan clan as a shame, he would definitely be furious. , it is possible to kill Changsun Chong with one knife...
Don’t doubt it, Yeon Gae So-moon is so violent.
…
The two of them went to the main hall. When Yuan Gaisuwen saw Changsun Chong agreeing to come down, he was also happy and said happily: "Now the war is anxious, and the whole country is resisting foreign aggression. I am a great Molu, and it is not suitable to be here." It is time to marry a daughter, so the engagement is put on hold until after the Tang army is defeated. You and I are a family from now on, and I will not feel neglected by this. Later, I will use the official seal of Da Molizhi. With this announcement, from now on, you will be appointed as the descendant of Zaoyi of the Great Moli Branch Mansion, and you can participate in military operations."
Yuan Nanjian, who still hadn't left, glared angrily, feeling very unhappy in his heart.
The "Ancestors of Zaoyi" themselves have no power, it depends on where they hold office.
Yeon Gaesumun was in power in Goguryeo, and the Daemokliji Mansion was the military and political center of Goguryeo, completely eclipsing the King of Goguryeo. Therefore, as the "adjutant" of Damolizhi, Changsun Chong became a member of the core of power in Goguryeo.
The eldest brother, Yuan, has a good reputation and a righteousness. He is the eldest son. Even if his father does not like him, there are countless people in the house, in the court and outside, who pursue him openly and secretly. Now there is another Changsun Chong, who not only has the trust of his father, but also has the background of the Changsun family. It is extremely difficult for him to seize the throne of the heir apparent...
He was so anxious that he said: "How can father be so careless? The defense of Pingrang City is entirely in Damolizhi Mansion. If this person cherishes his homeland and eats the inside and outside, then Pingrang City will be in danger!"
Yeon Gaesumun raised his eyes and said angrily: "I want you to teach me how to do things for my father?"
Yuan Nanjian was so frightened that he remained silent. Even though he was extremely angry, he did not dare to say a word.
Yuan Gaisuwen said to Mr. Yuan: "You will take the eldest son to take office now, and let the officials in the government and the court recognize him. From now on, I will be assisted by the eldest son in the defense of Pingrang City. "
Boy Yuan immediately responded: "My child, you obey!"
Changsun Chong also thanked him, and the two of them left the main hall together.
When Yuan Nanjian saw the two people walking out, he hurried forward and said anxiously: "Father, although Changsun Chong cannot return to the Tang Dynasty due to his crime, he is not from my tribe. Who knows whether he still loves the Tang Dynasty? Ping Rangcheng Our defense is of great importance and we must not let them get involved, otherwise it will be too late!”
Not only would Changsun Chong become the "Zaoyi ancestor" of the Da Mo Li Zhi Mansion, he would join forces with his eldest brother Yuan Boyan, making it more difficult for him to become the heir apparent. More importantly, he had always felt that Changsun Chong could not be trusted. What if this happened? This guy is a "special agent" sent by the Tang Dynasty, but now he is involved in the defense of Pingrang City. Isn't that inviting a wolf into the house?
However, Yeon Gaesumun remained motionless. He took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Do you think that your father is an extremely stupid person and that he can't compare to you in knowing people well and doing them well?"
Yuan Nanjian was startled and said hurriedly: "How dare the child have such an idea? The father is powerful, holding great power, killing decisively, being wise and courageous, and the child only has admiration and admiration in his heart!"
Yeon Gaesumun put down the tea cup, flipped through a volume of documents on the desk, and said, "Then why do you think that you can see things that your father can't?"
"Well……"
Yuan Nanjian couldn't answer the conversation.
What does father mean by this?
Does it mean that I only saw the surface and had preconceived ideas, so I couldn't see Changsun Chong's loyalty? Or maybe since I see that Changsun Chong has evil intentions, my father will naturally see it more clearly...
Yeon Gaesumun glanced at his son, whom he always loved very much, waved his hand and said: "Okay, why do you need to worry about my father's employment? Your brother and the ministers and generals of the DPRK built the defense of Pingrang City. , don’t get involved in this. Your task is to gather the dead soldiers in the mansion and practice diligently. At the same time, repair the walls and arrow stacks in all the mansions. If something goes wrong, you can be the last one. We must hold the line of defense and wait for reinforcements so that He Mansion will not be lost and plundered."
When the war is in chaos, the general's restraint on the soldiers will reach its lowest point, and the situation will be out of control if not careful. Although the Daemoliji Mansion has almost replaced the imperial court as the core of power in Goguryeo, it is precisely because of this that there are countless people who are jealous.
Once the war situation deteriorates, it is inevitable that some people will have some bad thoughts. If the Damolizhi Mansion is affected, it is absolutely unacceptable...
Yuan Nanjian was deeply aware of his father's arbitrary actions and did not dare to say more.
But when I left the main hall, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: Does my father trust Changsun Chong, or does he distrust him?
…
Changsun Chong was led by Mr. Yuan to the government office in the mansion. Yuan Gaisu opened the government office and built the government office, so he placed the government office of Da Molizhi in the mansion. On the one hand, it was convenient for people to come and go, and on the other hand, it also reflected the authority of the Yuan clan.
Hearing that Chang Sun Chong had been engaged to Yuan Gaisuwen's youngest daughter, all the government officials did not dare to neglect, and quickly stood up to congratulate him with great respect.
Yeon Gae So-moon is not only violent, but also extremely defensive. If he later learns that someone is disrespectful to his prospective son-in-law, he might kill someone...
In fact, not only Gao Baobao in the Goguryeo Dynasty was deeply afraid of Yeon Gaesumun's tyranny, but even the officials from top to bottom also had complaints and dissatisfaction. It is true that Yeon Gaesomun is too domineering. If the ministers in the court are slightly disobedient, he will kill them without blinking an eyelid. His cruel orders are enough to stop a child from crying at night.
Everyone becomes an official for power, wealth and beautiful women. In the final analysis, it is for enjoyment. Who wants to have such a devil above his head who is prone to killing people?
Under such a high-pressure rule, officials at both the upper and lower levels have long been miserable...
I met a number of officials and staff in the mansion. In the next two days, Yuan Nanzi took Changsun Chong to visit some ministers in the court who were close to Yuan Gaisuwen. At this time, the appointment of Changsun Chong has been issued. Everyone knows that this is Yuan Gaisuwen's son-in-law Chenglong Kuai. He is from the Tang Dynasty and has a rich family background, so no one dares to neglect him.
Faced with everyone's adulation, Changsun Chong could not help but feel a sense of emotion: Is this considered selling out for glory?
