In the time of Xu, Chongrenfang, the Duke's Mansion of Qi State
As soon as Changsun Wuji returned to his mansion, he went directly to the ancestral hall in his mansion.
After a while
The servant then led Changsun Chong to the ancestral hall.
Changsun Chong was not in a good mood today because his carefully prepared assassination operation failed last night.
Just when he was thinking about how to get rid of Qin Ming, a servant came to say that his father wanted to see him.
The eldest grandson rushed in and saw his father with a gloomy face, standing in front of the spiritual tablets of his family ancestors.
Without having time to think too much, he hurried forward, saluted Changsun Wuji and said:
"The child pays homage to his father."
Changsun Wuji said solemnly:
"Kneel down."
Upon hearing this, Changsun Chong immediately knelt on the futon.
Changsun Wuji said in a cold tone:
"Tell me in detail how you found someone to assassinate Qin Ming."
Changsun Chong was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
"Father, how do you know?"
Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed with disappointment when he heard this.
"Hmph, do you think what you did is very covert? Do you think His Majesty's Hundred Horsemen are blind and deaf?"
Changsun Chong was shocked when he heard this, and then large beads of sweat broke out from his forehead.
"Hurry up and say it!"
Changsun Chong saw his father angry and hurriedly told Changsun Wuji the whole story.
After Chang Sun Chong finished speaking, the room fell into a long silence, until Chang Sun Chong's legs felt a little sore and numb from his knees.
Changsun Wuji asked in a deep voice:
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
After hearing this, Changsun Chong thought for a while and said:
"My child shouldn't have sent someone to assassinate Qin Ming."
Changsun Wuji said as if he hated iron for not being able to become steel:
"Bastard, you can't even figure this out? How can I trust you as a father in the future and leave such a huge family property in your hands?"
Changsun Chongcheng said in fear:
"Father please teach me."
Changsun Wuji's expression softened a little after hearing this.
"You made several mistakes this time.
First, you shouldn’t hide your fatherhood, even if you want to do it yourself, that’s fine.
But at least after you have done this, you should tell your father, so that your father can help you check for leaks and deal with some tails, so that the matter will not be exposed;
Second, since you know that this matter is to be done secretly, you should not go to Baihua Pavilion to keep an eye on it yourself, because once the matter is exposed, you will easily be suspected;
Third, you underestimate your enemy too much, or you know too little about your enemy.
Fourth, since you have already sent out family warriors, why not send a few more? If you arranged a few more warriors to deal with that boy Qin Ming, how could that boy survive?
Fifth, you shouldn't send people to the black market to post rewards. Those in the black market are not good men and women, and they don't really care about morality.
How many people in this world can withstand severe punishment?
.........
"
The more Changsun Chong listened, the more he felt that his methods were too immature, and he kept Changsun Wuji's words in mind.
"My son, thank you, father, for your advice. But, father, you just said that since my uncle already knows what happened yesterday, does my uncle blame the child?"
Changsun Wuji told Changsun Chong what happened in the Manlu Palace.
After Changsun Chong heard this, he knelt on the ground and worshiped:
"My child, I'm sorry for my father. I have made my father feel wronged."
Changsun Wuji looked at his son in front of him and showed a happy smile.
In his opinion, although his son failed this time, it was a good thing for him.
After all, the future heirs of a family, especially the heirs of their Guanlong clan.
Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is giving up on yourself because of a failure.
What's more, what Changsun Wuji values more is whether his son can learn from this failure and grow up faster.
"Okay, my father has resisted this matter for you, but tomorrow you have to go to the Qin Mansion with your father to win his forgiveness face to face."
When Changsun Chong heard this, he immediately became anxious. He raised his head and said:
"You want me to apologize to that mud-legged guy?"
Changsun Wuji frowned when he heard this and said angrily:
"Mud-legged son? Have you forgotten what my father just said? Don't underestimate any enemy.
Don't even think about it. If Qin Ming was really a weakling, how could he be so valued by His Majesty?
Not to mention his literary talents, it is not something that ordinary people can do because he, a common man, relies on his business skills to bring several princes in the court to do business together.
My father even suspected that he might have guessed that you were behind this incident. "
Upon hearing this, Changsun Chong seemed to be grabbed by the tail, jumped up and said:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
A glint flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes. He stroked his beard and said:
"Whether he guessed that it was you, we will find out tomorrow."
After speaking, he patted Changsun Chong on the shoulder and said:
"Chong'er, the Qin Mansion and his party are related to His Majesty's attitude towards this matter and His Majesty's punishment for you, so no matter what, you must get his forgiveness first tomorrow.
Chong'er, you have to remember that those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Back then, Han Xin could endure the humiliation of his crotch, why can’t you?
As long as you pass tomorrow's test, you will have plenty of opportunities to kill him in the future. "
When Changsun Chong heard this, he suddenly calmed down.
He took a deep breath, bowed and said:
"My father taught me what to do, and I know what to do."
Changsun Wuji nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this.
In the sixth year of Zhenguan, on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, we were in Qinjiazhuang, Lantian County.
Qin Ming got up early in the morning, packed his things and took the group back to Qin Mansion in Lantian County.
As soon as she entered the Qin Mansion, Xiao Changxi sent people to the academy and found Taoist Priest Sun Simiao to check Qin Ming's pulse.
At this time, Qin Ming's back room was full of people, and everyone looked worriedly at the old man sitting on the stool, checking his pulse.
Sun Simiao took back his hand, looked at Qin Ming with a smile and said:
"Shan Zhang, this wound suturing technique is really amazing. After suffering such a serious stab wound, there was no inflammation at all.
He just lost too much blood and was a little weak. The old man prescribed a dose of medicine, brewed one in the morning and one in the evening, and he recovered after taking it for five days. "
Qin Ming leaned on the head of the bed and said with a smile:
"Here comes Dean Laosun."
Sun Simiao just smiled when he heard this, then stood up and walked to the desk and wrote the prescription.
At this moment, the door was pushed open and Xiao Qingwan walked in quickly. She bowed to Qin Ming and said:
"Sir, the Duke of Qi is at the gate of the mansion asking for an audience."
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, thought about it and said:
"Wan'er, please arrange for someone to take Duke Qi to the front hall first. I will go there later."
"Yes, sir."
