Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 169 Stupid people live longer

Many details flashed through my mind.

Looking at the entire Chang'an, there are only a few people who can mobilize this power and do it without anyone noticing.

Li Zhi, Li Ji, and Changsun Wuji.

Once the three are listed, the answer is obvious.

Li Zhi really wanted to touch Li Yifu, so there was no need for such an action.With Li Zhi's control over the temple now, he could crush Li Yifu to death with just a lift of his foot.

There is so much dirty information in Li Yifu that there is no need to investigate it carefully.

Li Ji is old and cunning, he has this ability, but he acts in a low-key manner, and he is already old, and he is working for the benefit of his descendants, so he will not rashly provoke powerful enemies.

Li Yifu would not be stupid enough to provoke Li Ji, who had just helped Li Zhi suppress Changsun Wuji.

The key is that Li Ji is not enough to make Princess Xincheng act like this for him.

The husband of the eldest princess of Xincheng is Changsun Quan.

Princesses of the Tang Dynasty have always been domineering, but the several direct princesses born to Empress Changsun are all as virtuous as their mother, Empress Changsun.

Whether Princess Changle, Princess Chengyang, Princess Jinyang or the current Princess Xincheng, they are all known for their virtues. Princess Xincheng and Changsun Quan are also a model couple.A model in the world and an example for women all over the world.

For the sake of her husband, it is reasonable for Princess Xincheng to help Changsun Wuji without harming the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

Throughout this period of history, Chen Qingsi has always had a question in later generations: Changsun Wuji's attitude.

Changsun Wuji was the head of the assistant ministers assigned to Li Zhi by Li Shimin, and the leader of Guanlong Xungui. After the failure of deposing the king and establishing Wu, he faded out of the court and was like fish on the chopping board, slaughtered by Li Zhi, Xu Jingzong, and Li Yifu , was eventually exiled to Qianzhou, and hanged himself to death.

The ending of Changsun Wuji is not surprising, anyone can fail.

But Changsun Wuji, a powerful minister who lay flat and showed no resistance at all, was too weird.

Now it seems that Changsun Wuji is not lying down, but that he has done something, but it is just unknown.

And Changsun Wuji had absolute reasons to deal with Li Yifu.

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu are both Li Zhi's swordsmen, but they are fundamentally different.

Xu Jingzong knows how to keep a thin line in his life. He will consider his descendants and know when to call it quits.

But Li Yifu is like a mad dog, eager to make things as big as possible in order to highlight his own importance and gain more and greater power.

It is true that Changsun Wuji is a piece of meat on the chopping board now, but it is obviously different that the knife fell into the hands of Xu Jingzong and that it fell into the hands of Li Yifu.

Chen Qingsi suddenly remembered that at this critical time in history, Li Yifu had demoted Li Zhi and sent him to another place because of his conflict with Du Zhenglun.

Then Xu Jingzong single-handedly planned Changsun Wuji's rebellion.

Xu Jingzong did not kill them all, but ordered his eldest son Wuji to hang himself, and all his close relatives were exiled to the mountains.This close relative is limited to Changsun Wuji's son Changsun Chong. Changsun Wuji's direct grandson Changsun Yan still lives happily in Chang'an and is not among the derogatory punishments.Moreover, Changsun Wuji himself rehabilitated Li Zhi ten years later, regained his official title, and was buried in Zhaoling. The Duke of Zhao was inherited by his great-grandson Changsun Yi.

If Li Yifu was allowed to take action, the Changsun family would never be able to feel so comfortable.

Chen Qingsi had a bold idea in her mind. Is it possible that Changsun Wuji got out of Li Yifu in history?
Just like now, his existence has changed the situation in Chang'an.

As a bystander, Changsun Wuji, an old fox, observed everything and helped him deal with Li Yifu.

In this case, it’s better to be bold.

Chen Qingsi unconsciously reached out and grabbed it, just like the Tathagata holding the monkey, it felt like he was holding Li Yifu in his hand.

Li Yifu didn't know it, but Xiao Miaochen in his arms made a "beep" sound and scratched where he shouldn't have.Changsun Mansion.

Changsun Yan knelt outside the house with tears streaming down his face.

Changsun Chong looked at his son, who looked somewhat similar to his beloved wife Princess Changle, and felt pity in his heart. He helped him up and took him to the study.

Father and son took their seats.

Changsun Yan said with a bit of fear: "Ah, what are you thinking about? Li Maoer has bullied her to the extreme, and I am still enduring it. I really want to endure it until our Changsun family is completely eaten away. I am powerless." Fight back and let yourself be slaughtered?"

Li Yifu is eager to express himself, and his recent actions have become more and more excessive.

Changsun Yan's wife was the daughter of Gao Shenxing, Gao Shilian's son.

Just yesterday, Li Yifu's knife reached out to Gao Shenxing's son, his brother-in-law.

Changsun Yan felt like he was in danger of impending disaster and he couldn't hold his breath anymore. He knelt down and begged Changsun Wuji to take action.

But Changsun Yan knelt all night, and Changsun Wuji didn't care at all when he should eat or sleep.

It was Changsun Chong who felt sorry for his child and took him to the study.

Changsun Chong looked at his bewildered son and said softly: "How do you want to fight back? Are you rebelling? Seizing His Majesty's position and then supporting a puppet emperor?"

A gentle and easy-going gentleman, he speaks like a tiger or a wolf.

Changsun Yan was so frightened that his face turned blue and he couldn't say a word.

Changsun Chong was not in a hurry and looked at his son calmly.

After a long while, the words came out of Changsun Yan's mouth: "No, no, that's not what I meant."

Changsun Chong said: "Li Yifu is just trying to figure out His Majesty's actions. It is Your Majesty who really wants to deal with us. To fight back is to rebel against His Majesty. Without the determination to rebel, what is the point of fighting back?"

Changsun Yan said in despair: "But can't we just wait to die like this? Aye, the child doesn't want to die, let alone Yuan Yi, who is only two years old."

Changsun Chong smiled calmly and said: "Don't worry, my father and your grandfather will not sit back and watch the Changsun family disappear."

He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry about anything, you don't have to do anything, just live on! Don't ruin yourself, the future of the Changsun family depends on you."

Changsun Chong didn't say much. At this time, the less Changsun Yan knew, the more likely he was to survive.

Walking into Changsun Wuji's yard, Changsun Wuji was staring at the chessboard, playing chess with himself.

"Yan'er is gone?"

Changsun Wuji didn't raise his head and just asked.

The eldest grandson bowed his head and said, "I have made my father worried!"

"It doesn't matter!" Changsun Wuji said: "It's better to be stupid. Stupid people live longer."

Changsun Chong held it in for a while and said, "That's what father said."

Changsun Wuji said: "Do you think that boy Chen Qingsi knows that someone is helping him?"

Changsun Chong said: "I think I should be aware of it. Before today, I could say it was just coincidence and luck. After today, I'm afraid I can't hide it. I don't know where this Mr. Chen learned his skills. He is young and in the officialdom. His insight is as good as anyone's. Even when facing an old cunning guy like Xu Jingzong, he has everything covered. Even accepting gifts, he doesn't leave any clues. With his ability, he won't be so slow. . If you can’t see through this, you are not qualified to be chosen by your father.”
