Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 401: Try to figure it out and wait and see
The bright moon hangs in the sky, and the chirping of cicadas drifts into Shangguan's residence along with the cool breeze.

Shangguan Tingzhi happily circled around his wife Zheng three times and shouted loudly.

"Great, great."

Shangguan Tingzhi's handsome face burst into laughter. He held his wife's hand passionately and said, "I have wronged my wife these years."

The Shangguan family was originally a family of officials, descendants of Shangguan Jie, Shangguan An, and Shangguan Qi in the Western Han Dynasty. However, due to the Jiangdu Incident, his father and brother died at the hands of Yu Wenji, leaving only Shangguan Yi.

For the sake of family business, Shangguan Yi was obsessed with literary career and gave up love between men and women. She only had one son, Shangguan Tingzhi.

Shangguan Yi didn't have big demands on Shangguan Tingzhi, she just wanted him to expand the Shangguan family and have more children.

It turned out that Shangguan Tingzhi was a lover, and only loved his wife Zheng's daughter. They were married for many years and only had one son, Shangguan Kun'er.

Shangguan Yi nags Shangguan Tingzhi a lot about this, but for some reason, the loving couple has been silent for many years.

Until today, Ms. Zheng felt slightly unwell. She had had the experience of pregnancy and childbirth, and she felt that it was familiar, so she asked a doctor to diagnose her and confirmed her happy pulse.

Shangguan Tingzhi was overjoyed and said: "By the way, I have to inform my father and make him happy. Recently, he has been working hard for official duties and has a lot of wrinkles. It just makes him happy."

Shangguan Tingzhi helped Zheng sit down and walked out quickly.

Mrs. Zheng smiled and stroked her belly, looking at her husband's retreating figure, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Shangguan Tingzhi knew that his father was mostly studying in the study at this time. As a Confucian leader in the temple, Shangguan Yi spent almost all his free time reading books and enriching himself.

But when he came outside the study, he saw that it was dark and there was no one there.

Shangguan Tingzhi thought to himself: Is my father attending the banquet?
Shangguan Yi is an honest and simple man, and he will only go to a banquet and not return home during this time.

Shangguan Tingzhi walked out of the courtyard and met Feng Peng, the housekeeper of the mansion, and said, "Uncle Feng, where is father? Did you tell me?"

Feng Peng was the loyal servant who rescued Shangguan Yi from Jiangdu. Without him, the Shangguan family would have been extinct during the Jiangdu Incident.

Shangguan Tingzhi was very respectful to him.

Feng Peng said in astonishment: "Master Lang is doing calligraphy, but Young Master didn't see him?"

Shangguan Tingzhi said: "The study is dark and there is no one around."

Feng Peng said: "Master Lang came back early this morning. He went to the study alone with a heavy heart, and specifically told us not to step into the courtyard. Master Lang has not had dinner yet, so the old slave is waiting here, waiting for Master Lang to be free. Now, prepare a meal for him.”

Shangguan Tingzhi was startled, took the lantern from Feng Peng's hand, and strode towards the study.

He knocked on the door and called, "Father!"

After a long while, a sentence came from inside: "It's Tingzhi! Come in!"

Shangguan Tingzhi pushed open the door and entered, holding the lantern in his hand, only to see his father sitting motionless in front of the desk with a strange look on his face.

Shangguan Tingzhi thought something had happened and lit the oil lamp on the desk.

Under the illumination of the oil lamp, Shangguan Tingzhi saw his father's appearance. He was so frightened that he took three steps back and almost fell over: his father, who had always been gentle and gentle, actually had red eyes with a bit of madness, and he stared round and straight. Looked at him seductively.

"Father?"

Shangguan Tingzhi called out with concern and said, "But what happened to the court?"

Shangguan Yi opened his mouth and said, "Something happened, no, something big happened..."

He thought about today's meeting with Li Zhi, and listened to Li Zhi's dissatisfaction with Empress Wu, which gave him a strange feeling: His Majesty specifically asked him to tell him about Empress Wu's arrogant behavior. What was the purpose?

Could it be? Are you thinking about abolishing your queen?

Shangguan Yi felt anxious, this was no small matter.

Once the deposed emperor is successful, Shangguan Yi will be famous in history. His ability to resist his relatives alone will be enough to leave a strong mark on the historical slips.

But if something unexpected happens, it won't be your own life that will be lost.

This matter was so important that Shangguan Yi did not dare to tell anyone. He just locked himself in the study and thought alone.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his judgment was correct. Li Zhi specially called him into the palace today and told many things about Empress Wu, but he wanted to abolish the queen: he just cared about the relationship between husband and wife and could not say it himself.

Shangguan Tingzhi didn't ask much, and just said: "No matter how big something happens, father should take care of his body. If father collapses, even if the sky falls, he has nothing to do with him."

Shangguan Yi said: "My son is right..."

He rubbed his stiff face and dry eyes, stood up and said, "Father is indeed a little hungry, so I'm going to have a meal..."

He held the table, glanced at his son and asked, "I'm here to find you as a father, but is there something wrong?"

Shangguan Tingzhi said: "I saw the doctor today and Mrs. Zheng is very happy."

A smile instantly appeared on Shangguan Yi's face and he said: "This is a big deal. My father will tell Mr. Feng to buy some old hens and keep them until they can replenish the health of my daughter-in-law..."

His legs were a little numb, and he walked out of the study with a slight limp. He looked at the bright moon in the sky and listened to the insects chirping around him, with determination in his eyes: For the sake of his descendants, he had to work hard.

Because of Empress Wu's transgression, the water in Luoyang Temple became increasingly turbid.

Chen Qingsi, who was far away in Baekje, also gave up the melon-eating mode and launched the second step against Goguryeo: differentiation.

The first step of praising the Yuan boys has achieved miraculous results. Not only they are bragging, but the Yuan boys group is also bragging.

Yeonboy's prestige is incomparable to Yeongae Sumoon.

Yeon Gaesumun didn't need to make any moves, just the fact that he defeated Emperor Zhenguan was enough to convince anyone.

Yeon-san is different. Naturally, he needs to enhance his reputation through public opinion and convince the people of Goguryeo.

Through the praise of both parties, Yuon Nan's reputation in Pyongyang has skyrocketed, and he has completely secured his position as the "new king" of Goguryeo.

The purpose has been achieved...

Chen Qingsi called Liu Rengui at the right time: "Brother Zhengze, let our people and the people of Silla contact the various ministries of Goguryeo respectively, negotiate terms with us, use various means to induce and induce, in short, we must blow up their pride. ”

Chen Qingsi’s division is not a simple division between Yuan Nanzi and Yuan Nanjian, Yuan Nanchan.

Boy Yuan is not taking it easy, and using alienation tactics against his brother will only arouse his wariness.

The situation is different when the various tribes of Goguryeo are divided into Laisa.

The military system of Goguryeo was the Five Laisa system. The five great Laisas were responsible for the military and political power of their respective military regions, similar to the governors of the Tang army.

They are all veteran generals of Goguryeo, and Yeonboy is just a junior.

Even if they don't have any objections, their attitude towards Yeon-boy cannot be the same as towards Yeon Gaesumun.

At this time, if you give the five of them a blowjob and make them feel that they are very important and awesome, what will be the result?
Chen Qingsi will wait and see.
