Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 704 Another "sent away"

Public enmity and death can never be compared, because human beings are selfish animals. As long as personal interests are violated, no matter what kind of friendship, they will turn against each other in the end. This is "human", and no one can Free from vulgarity.

Chen Shuda has done both good and bad things in his life. As far as Yu Guo is concerned, his political achievements in his life are remarkable. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he made great contributions in acting as an agent of complicated state affairs.Personally speaking, Chen Shuda is much better than Xiao Yu for his disciples and juniors, at least he never accepts filial piety.

Li Chengqian once heard a short saying: If a person does all kinds of bad things in his life, but only does one good thing, people will think that the prodigal son is a good person when he turns around, and they are willing to give him a chance.But a person who has done good deeds all his life and only did one bad deed is unforgivable.

Strictly speaking, Chen Shuda belongs to the latter, because his youngest son did such a wrong thing, and his relatives and friends hated him deeply. No matter how many favors, there are only endless accusations and abuse for this founding prime minister.

After Chen Shaode was executed in Dongshi, Zhongshu Sheng received countless articles of impeachment against Lao Chen. Some said that he was incapable of teaching his son, and some said that he had instigated his son to harm his colleagues and juniors.Even though the Sanfa Division had proved that they had nothing to do with Chen Shuda, they didn't care at all, and they all attacked the former prime minister with the attitude of breaking a drum and beating thousands of people.

Under the double blow of the old man's bereaved son and Hai Tong's memorabilia, Chen Shuda couldn't afford it, and the results of the diagnosis and treatment by the imperial doctors were that there was no cure, and that was just a few days ago.Li Chengqian was very dissatisfied with the matter of Chen Shuda's illness. People died like a lamp went out, and his sons were all dead.

The laws of the Tang Dynasty are very clear. If one commits one or the other, it is not a serious crime. Why should he copy the old man's way? If he is really virtuous and capable, it will not be reflected in this!

For such a book, Li Chengqian was not in the mood to read it. He just told Changsun Wuji and Cen Wenwen to ask the emperor for instructions. After changing their clothes, they left the palace immediately and planned to go to the Jiangguo Mansion to have a look. The third son of the Chen family has already taken a long vacation. .

After calling out to the prince, Li Chengqian stopped him and struggled to get up. Chen Shuda was so sick that he was still talking about these empty etiquettes.Sitting on the edge of the bed, he said with a faint smile: "Chen Xiang, you don't have to stick to those etiquettes anymore. It's not necessary. Come on, rely on this to be more comfortable."

Well, after nodding gratefully, Chen Shuda waved to the three brothers, signaling them to go down first.Then he showed a reluctant smile and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, for today's affairs, for the past results, the old minister does not blame others. That kid Shaode was stubborn since he was a child. Wise.."

Li Chengqian listened tirelessly to the old man talking about his youngest son. It could be seen that he attached great importance to this youngest son and had great hopes for him.In old Chen's words, Chen Shaode is very similar to him when he was young, good at writing, alert and filial.

Chen Shuda didn't care how many people impeached him. As early as the beginning of Zhenguan, when he came down from the phase, he had the consciousness of being criticized by thousands of people. What made him unable to accept was the death of his son.Because Wu Dechao was in the wrong team, it was impossible for Chen Shuda to provide him with a good step, so he arranged a Qingshui yamen for him.

I thought that ten or twenty years later, with the qualifications of a gangster, there would still be a bright future and revive the glory of Jiang Guogong's mansion.But who would have thought that his son's life would be costly because of the face of a birthday party!As the saying goes, money is hard to buy. If you knew earlier, if you knew that things would be serious like this, so what if the birthday party is not held, it is better than a white-haired person giving a black-haired person!
"Chen Xiang, Shao De's official advice is good, Fang Xiang has praised him many times, but death is like a lamp going out, these are all definite, you always have to mourn!", Li Chengqian is a man who does not believe in fate, but Now he had to use the most annoying trick to comfort Chen Shuda.

Chen Shaode and Dou Kuan had similar experiences, but their choices were diametrically opposite. Li Chengqian believed that with his writing ability, if he survived this test, and survived for another ten or twenty years, he would still have no problem as a servant.So when he was caught that day, Li Chengqian expressed his pity. After all, being an official is the right way.

"This time I have brought a lot of supplements. If you use more, your health will be much better. As you get older, your body will not be able to withstand the toss. Please be careful. Gu has asked the inner guard to say hello. From now on No one will come to the house to make trouble again. You are a hero of the country, if there is something wrong at home, let Zhengde go to the East Palace, and you will never sit idly by."

"His Royal Highness does not think about the rudeness of the past, and is convenient to the Chen family everywhere. The old minister is ashamed and grateful! As for the future, there is no future. The old minister's own body, I know, is now exhausted, and I can use whatever I eat. Yes. After the old minister left, he wanted to be buried in Wu Xing, and Zheng De and the others would also return to Ding You's hometown, so we have an explanation for everyone."

According to the usual practice, after the death of an official like Chen Shuda, he must be given a posthumous title and buried in the imperial tomb to show his mourning.But the old man obviously didn't want this honor by saying this, and planned to let his sons return to their hometowns, quit Chang'an, and quit the officialdom, so that they wouldn't be an eyesore.

For the sake of his past achievements, the emperor will also warn those people not to kill them all, so that the incense of the Chen family will not be cut off, and he will have an account with his ancestors under the Jiuquan.

Well, what Lao Chen meant, of course Li Chengqian understood that the inner guards could not protect them for a lifetime. This is indeed a good way to get rid of the vortex of troubles and leave a way out for the descendants.Otherwise, based on the abilities of his three sons, the downfall of Jiang Guogong's government is a trivial matter, and sooner or later they will be eaten without even bones left.

Don't look at those officials who joined him when they were not very good, they were all wimpy, but they were all experts in the whole group, and Lao Chen's decision-making was undoubtedly wise.

After comforting Chen Shuda a few more words, Li Chengqian saw his shortness of breath, so he quickly called the three brothers Chen Zhengde to come in, seeing old Chen stuttering and explaining to them before passing away.

Coming may not be a blessing, and going may not be a disaster. Maybe Chen Shuda's death is a good thing for the Chen family, because only death can get sympathy and forgiveness, and only death can save the Chen family from suffering. This is the purpose of his deal with himself it's the same.The officialdom is dangerous, and it is not easy for those who live in Chang'an. Such an old man in his dying years has exhausted his efforts for the sake of future generations.

In the spring of the 14th year of Zhenguan, Chang'an, Jiang Guogong's mansion, Li Chengqian was in a very lonely mood, because in this season of recovery of all things, he sent away another founding hero. .
