As a day to catch up with the temple fair, this year’s Guanyin Festival is full of topics.
Huang Ben's unjust accusation that Yang Fan plagiarized has certainly become the hottest topic.
Although it was a confrontation between Huang Ben and Yang Fan on the surface, in fact everyone with a discerning eye knew that secretly it was a game between the Jiangnan nobles and the emperor.
In this confrontation, Yang Fan's evil behavior not only disgraced Huang Ben, but also made Xu Jingzong lose his official title. The Jiangnan nobles suffered heavy losses.
Of course, although the Jiangnan nobles failed this time, they also gave up some of their benefits.
But the Jiangnan gentry did not hate Yang Fan the most.
Because they have no personal grudges with Yang Fan, in the final analysis it is just a means of gaming with the court.
Besides, although it is clear that the imperial court can no longer prevent the establishment of sea trade yamen in Jiangnan, it does not mean that the Jiangnan nobles will cooperate obediently.
So, ultimately, this confrontation has just begun.
Unlike the Jiangnan family who faced it calmly, Changsun Chong hated Yang Fan so much that he gritted his teeth.
In the study room of Zhao Guofu, I heard that Yang Fan was able to suppress the arrogance of the Jiangnan scholar family and made the eldest grandson angry.
The entire study was smashed into a mess, until Changsun Chong collapsed on the ground, panting from exhaustion.
At this time, Changsun Chong felt helpless and decadent.
He really didn't expect that Yang Fan could actually escape from the siege of Jiangnan nobles, and his reputation would rise to a level unrivaled by the younger generation.
This made Changsun Chong's eyes red with jealousy.
Whenever he thinks of the poem "Xun Xun Mi Mi" written by Yang Fan, Chang Sun Chong wants to eat Yang Fan's flesh and drink Yang Fan's blood.
Searching and searching, deserted, miserable... I am sad, but it is an old acquaintance...
In Changsun Chong's view, isn't Yang Fan just satirizing Princess Changle for not living happily in his eldest grandson's family?
Another sentence, the yellow flowers are piled up all over the ground, they are haggard and damaged, who is worthy of picking them now...
These words are completely Yang Fan's naked metaphor.
Who deserves it now?
Doesn't Yang Fan just want to pick the flower of Princess Changle back home?
Changsun Chong became angrier as he thought about it.
No man can tolerate his wife hooking up with others.
Although Princess Changle has divorced him, Changsun Chong still thinks that Princess Changle is his private property due to his possessiveness, so how can he let Yang Fan get involved.
As a result, Changsun Chong's eyes became extremely cold, and he secretly decided to make Yang Fan look good.
Hearing the noise, Changsun Wuji came to the study, looked at the mess on the floor, frowned and asked, "What's going on with Chong'er? I heard that you and His Highness the Crown Prince went to Caotang Temple to visit the temple fair. Could it be that something unhappy happened to you?"
The speed of information dissemination at this time is relatively slow.
In addition, only the prince and a few people were present when Chang Sun Chong had a conflict with Yang Fan. Chang Sun Wuji certainly didn't know why Chang Sun Chong was angry.
Seeing the worried look in Changsun Wuji's eyes, Changsun Chong was angry and embarrassed at the same time: "My father is worried, but the child has not had any conflict with the prince.
"I went to Caotang Temple today. I met my beautiful cousin. I wanted to explain my previous misunderstanding, but I didn't expect that guy Yang Fan to interfere."
"In my opinion, Yang Fan must have deliberately hurt someone with his sweet words and made sister Li Zhi deliberately misunderstand. Otherwise, cousin Li Zhi's temperament would never be so ruthless."
He didn't understand that the reason why Princess Changle was so disappointed with him was not because he didn't have the ability of a man, but because Chang Sun Chong had flashed a trace of murderous intention towards her.
Although Changsun Chong felt that he had concealed the truth and not let Princess Changle notice it, he never thought that women were extremely sensitive.
After hearing what Changsun Chong said, Changsun Wuji was furious!
"Yang Fan is so lawless. He actually spied on Her Royal Highness Princess Changle and did such an unethical thing? What on earth did he want to do? Doesn't he know that he is Princess Gaoyang's husband?"
"Chong'er, don't be angry for now. As a father, I will report it to His Majesty. I will never let that kid off lightly!"
Changsun Chong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why he said this was of course that he wanted Changsun Wuji to complain before the emperor.
After all, the weight of Changsun Wuji's words is much stronger than that of Changsun Chong, which makes His Majesty Li Er more trustworthy.
If the emperor knew that Yang Fan was still thinking about his other daughter, with His Majesty Li Er's temper, he might chop off Yang Fan's head...
Moreover, even if nothing could be done to Yang Fan, the emperor would definitely keep Yang Fan away from Princess Changle.
At that time, it will be the best time for his eldest son, Sun Chong, to chase Princess Changle back.
Of course, the more important thing is that Changsun Chong cannot let his secret be spread out.
If everyone in Chang'an City knew that he was not a healthy man, then Changsun Chong would not be alive.
Of course Changsun Wuji, who was good at observing words and emotions, also knew that Changsun Chong's words were somewhat untrue.
But he also hoped that Changsun Chong could bring Princess Changle back.
The reason why Changsun Wuji proposed to reconcile in the first place was because he had no choice but to do so.
Now that Princess Changle has never married again, in Changsun Wuji's view, Changsun Chong still has a chance.
Looking at the deserted and messy study, Changsun Wuji asked: "Do you think Li Zhen is willing to come back?"
"Haier thinks that the beautiful cousin still has feelings for a certain person, but that guy Yang Fan keeps getting in the way..." Changsun Chong's face stiffened and he answered brightly.
Hearing Changsun Chong's unconfident words, Changsun Wuji sighed lightly and suggested:
"Women need to be coaxed. Since beauties are so mean-spirited, there's nothing shameful in being humble."
"Besides, you haven't visited your aunt for a long time. If you have time, go around more, visit her, and ask your aunt to persuade her. Don't be afraid of losing face."
It must be said that Changsun Wuji still likes Princess Changle very much.
Princess Changle is not only virtuous, intelligent and well-read in poetry, but she is not blindly opinionated, and is also very knowledgeable about some events.
A wise son is better than his father!
Although Changsun Wuji dotes on Changsun Chong, he is also well aware of his shortcomings.
Because my child has grown up too smoothly and has never encountered setbacks, it is inevitable that he will be arrogant and conceited, with high ambitions and low abilities.
It would be good if Li Lizhi could help her and have someone to advise her from time to time.
Therefore, ever since he knew that Changsun Chong wanted to recover Princess Changle, Changsun Wuji was also very supportive.
Seeing that Changsun Wuji also supported him in recovering Princess Changle, Changsun Chong quickly said: "My father's reminder, I will keep it in mind. When the firearms supervisor is finished, I will go visit my aunt right now."
Changsun Wuji nodded and did not continue to dwell on this topic. He thought for a while and asked: "What is the situation in the firearms supervision department now? With so many craftsmen in our Changsun family, have they come into contact with the smelting process of fine steel and firearms? production?”
Changsun Chong said angrily: "That guy Yang Fan is very cautious. I have asked him several times to provide the manufacturing method of the steel-making furnace, but that guy always talks about him."
"He even said that after the finished firearms are produced, he will compile the steelmaking and firearms manufacturing techniques into a book and transport them to the palace together with the finished firearms. If we want the method of steelmaking, we should go to His Majesty to ask for it!"
After pondering for a moment, Changsun Wuji's eyes kept flickering, as if he had made some kind of determination: "Iron is the foundation of our Changsun family. Now that there is an advanced steel-making method, we must find a way to get it. Otherwise, our Changsun family will It’s dangerous.”
Changsun Chong looked stiff and said calmly: "Father, please rest assured. After all, the child is a young prisoner in the firearms supervision department. I don't believe that Yang Fan dares to keep the child from participating. As long as there is a chance, I will definitely bring the method of steelmaking back to our home."
Changsun Wuji shook his head in disappointment!
Although my son has confidence and never gives up, this is a good thing.
But if you dare to underestimate Yang Fan, it will be worrying and disappointing.
You must know that Yang Fan doesn't even give the prince or prince the face, and is hesitating about you, a small firearms supervisor?
However, Changsun Wuji felt that it was better to let Changsun rush to face it alone, otherwise it would be easy to develop inner demons.
Furthermore, if he is not allowed to experience anything and only lets Changsun Chong grow up under his wings, then his future achievements will definitely be limited.
What's more, Changsun Wuji felt.
Even if my son does suffer some setbacks or makes mistakes, I can completely protect him from the wind and rain as long as I am there.
Only if the son can be tempered can he be able to take on big responsibilities in the future.
"Okay, then you just have to figure it out. I'm a little tired as a father. Let's go rest first. You should also rest early and think about how to get the method of steelmaking. Of course, if you can't do it, don't force it. Father will find another way!”
After saying this, Changsun Wuji put his hands behind his back and left without waiting for Changsun Chong to reply.
However, what Changsun Wuji didn't expect was that precisely because of his pride, Changsun Chong would embark on a path of no return.
As the footsteps receded, Changsun Chong's face became extremely gloomy.
Because he knew that with Yang Fan's emphasis on the method of steelmaking, it would be very slim to obtain it through normal means.
Thinking of his father's high expectations just now and the hint of disappointment mixed in during the period, Changsun Chong felt pain as if a needle had been stabbed in his heart.
At the same time, a sense of resentment and anger rose uncontrollably from the bottom of my heart!
Yang Fan is this guy.
Ever since this stick appeared, everything has gone wrong for me, which is really hateful.
The most important thing is that Yang Fan stepped on and rubbed himself under his feet every time, and even kissed Princess Changle in front of him. It was simply unreasonable!
The resentment in his heart was getting deeper and deeper, making Changsun Chong's eyes red, and a crazy idea arose in his heart!
I heard Changsun Chong shout loudly: "Where is Changsun Bin?"
A middle-aged man walked in immediately outside the door, bowed and said, "Sir, what's the matter?"
This man was in his forties, with a fair face and no beard, and he looked somewhat elegant in his blue shirt.
Judging from the flash of light in his eyes from time to time, anyone who dares to underestimate him will definitely suffer the consequences.
In fact, Changsun Bin was not originally named Changsun. His real surname was Mei, who came from a noble family in the Sui Dynasty.
After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, due to the decline of his family, he has been protected by Changsun Wuji, and is now the internal manager of the Changsun family.
This person watched Chang Sun Chong grow up and treated Chang Sun Chong as a son, and was very loyal.
Changsun Chong asked in a deep voice: "Do you know some people in the market who dig meat dumplings?"
Hearing this, Changsun Bin couldn't help but be startled.
Digging meat dumplings is actually commonly known as tomb robbing.
The dignified eldest son of the Duke of Zhao, what does it mean to find out about such a shady person?
Could it be that Changsun Chong was short of money and wanted to rob the tomb?
However, as a servant, Changsun Bin did not ask any more questions. He just nodded and said: "Master Qi, I know one of you. He is the famous Yiguoduan in Guanzhong. It is said that he has not missed a chance yet. I wonder what the master is going to do? "
Changsun rushed to the door, took a look, went to close the door, and then said cautiously: "Come here, don't spread this matter to a third person!"
When Changsun Bin came closer, Changsun Chong leaned over and whispered in a low voice.
After listening to this, Changsun Bin was stunned for a long time, and then he whispered anxiously: "Young Master, this must not be done. Once the news leaks out, it will be a huge disaster for the Changsun family."
"Besides, if the master of the family knew about it, his legs would be broken, and he would definitely not agree with the young master's approach."
Changsun Chong's face darkened and he shouted loudly: "Shut up, didn't I tell you? This matter cannot be heard by a third person!"
"As long as you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know that we arranged it?"
"Besides, those rice dumpling diggers are only responsible for digging the passage, and then they can get a large amount of money and fly away, hide their names, and live the rest of their lives freely. Isn't it better than being a tomb robber who cannot see the light? "
"And you can also leave your slave status and restore your ancestral name to start a new family. I will also find you an official position in the future. Don't you want to restore the glory of your ancestors?"
"You are nearly forty years old, but you haven't started a family yet. Don't you want a man and a woman to inherit the family business? When you get married and have children in the future, don't you want to find a good background for them?"
"Although our eldest grandson's family will not treat you badly, as long as you stay in the eldest grandson's family for one day, you will be a lowly member for generations. Are you willing to live like this for the rest of your life?"
Changsun Chong asked a series of questions, leaving Changsun Bin completely silent.
Especially the last sentence hit the nail on the head of Changsun Bin.
Changsun Bin's ancestors were also wealthy. His grandfather was a fourth-rank official in the Sui Dynasty, and his father was also a sixth-rank county magistrate.
Therefore, Changsun Bin studied the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and his literary skills are very strong.
It was just because of the decline of his family's fortune that he became a lowly person.
Someone has said more than once that if Changsun Bin was born into an ordinary family, he would never be recommended to gain fame.
Unfortunately, his eldest grandson Bin was a slave.
In the Tang Dynasty, people were divided into classes from birth.
Slave status, as long as the master does not agree, then you have extraordinary abilities, and you are just a lowly servant.
People who were slaves had no land, no land, no surname, no name, and could only live dependent on their master's family.
Not to mention being an official, he will always be a lowly person for the rest of his life!
In fact, it is a bit similar to the craftsmen who create official records.
These craftsmen or their descendants will never be able to take the imperial examination or become officials.
The eldest grandson Bin immediately passed the age of 10, but now he is still alone.
Why is there no queen?
It's not just because Changsun Bin didn't want his descendants to be slaves forever.
Therefore, he would rather be single than start a family.
Now that Changsun Chong has given him the opportunity to escape from slavery, maybe he should really give it a try!
Although the stakes are huge, the rewards are so rich!
Even if you don’t think about yourself, shouldn’t you fight for a future for your descendants?
If it drags on any longer, there may be no descendants in his generation!
As soon as he gritted his teeth, Changsun Bin said in a deep voice: "I will act in accordance with the order of the young master!"
After a pause, he said with some worry: "Sir, although the Daming Palace has not been completed yet, it is now guarded by the Forbidden Army."
"It is extremely difficult to dig a secret passage to the Firearms Prison without anyone noticing. I am afraid that I will be exposed."
After saying that, Changsun Bin quickly explained: "Of course it's not that I'm afraid of death, but that I'm afraid of delaying the master's important event."
Changsun Chong promised eloquently: "Although this matter seems very dangerous, I have thought it through very carefully..."
"Now that the Daming Palace is being renovated, it can provide better cover for you. The guards stationed there are the Imperial Guards of the Youwu Guards."
"Now General Youwuwei is Duan Zhixuan, Duke of Baoguo. With his hatred for Yang Fan, as long as I go to him and talk to him, he will definitely cooperate with you."
"Besides, as long as the tunnel is clear, you will complete the task. I will be solely responsible for other matters, and I will not be involved in any way."
Changsun Bin knelt down and kowtowed, with tears in his eyes, he turned and left: "Old slave will be shattered into pieces, and he will live up to the expectations of the young master. After leaving, in order to avoid bringing danger to Changsun's family, old slave does not plan to come back. As for the old slave's Please explain your whereabouts to the head of the family!"
Changsun Chong quickly helped Changsun Bin up, held him, and comforted him: "Uncle Bin is still stable, but this matter is of great importance. I can only rest assured if I leave it to you. Take care of yourself!"
Changsun Bin remained silent, looked deeply at Changsun Chong, turned around and left.
Changsun Chong sent Changsun Bin out of the house. Looking at his longer and longer back, he clenched his fists fiercely.
Looking up at the moon in the sky, a few dark clouds gradually blocked the hazy moonlight, making the night even more eerie.
