Although all the evidence pointed to his son Changsun Chong, which made Changsun Wuji anxious and uneasy, he quickly calmed down.
In his opinion, there is at least a little room for improvement.
If the emperor really wanted to hold the Changsun family accountable, there would be no need to show him this evidence.
This also made Changsun Wuji suddenly realize that His Majesty Li Er's review of their friendship just now was really just to beat him up.
Li Er's meaning is obvious. Our friendship is very good. I don't believe that your Changsun Wuji did this, but you must give me an explanation.
Obviously, Li Er wanted him to hand over his son.
But Changsun Chong is his son after all. Although he was the one who caused the incident, can he really be cruel enough to hand him over?
For a moment, Changsun Wuji was a little confused.
Looking at Changsun Wuji, who looked confused and covered in cold sweat, His Majesty Li Er sighed and said: "You and I, the monarch and my minister, have known each other since childhood and have been inseparable. We have supported each other since the troubled times, and we have gone through thousands of twists and turns before we finally conquered the throne."
This beautiful mountain and river.”
"Now that the empire is prospering, we have to be more cautious. We put all our efforts into the empire, but we don't want to fail in the education of our children!"
"Although we have made meritorious deeds, we cannot be arrogant, and our children and grandchildren cannot use this as a slut. If we make mistakes, we must bear responsibility. Even the prince is the same. Auxiliary machine, don't you think so?"
After hearing His Majesty Li Er's heartfelt words, Changsun Wuji felt a little ashamed. He kowtowed to the ground and said: "Your Majesty's words are like carrying a pot to give a prayer. Your Majesty's kindness will not be repaid by Wuji even if his body is broken into pieces. If this matter is really the fault of a bad boy."
Therefore, I must give an explanation to Your Majesty and the imperial court."
"Wei Chen will go back to the house now and see if the beast is there. Whether he did it or not, Wei Chen will tie him up and leave it to His Majesty to decide."
"Once the Third Division has verified that Chong'er has really made a big mistake, she will not complain about how to deal with the minor ministers. However, the queen dotes on Chong'er so much and knows that Chong'er is about to... well, Wu Gu will definitely be heartbroken."
Designing a sneak attack on the Firearms Prison, killing many guards, planning firearms, a powerful weapon to suppress the country, and assassinating important officials of the imperial court...
No matter which one, this is an unforgivable crime.
In any dynasty, it would be a heinous crime of decapitation and genocide!
Changsun Wuji knew that His Majesty Li Er was not so heartless, but now he listened to the emperor's tone.
Although the eldest grandson's family will not be held jointly and severally liable, his son will definitely not be saved!
Changsun Wuji was a smart man, so he did not ask for forgiveness from Changsun Chong.
I just want to express my position that regardless of whether it was Changsun Chong who did it or not, I will give an explanation to His Majesty Li Er and the world.
Of course, it was impossible for him not to make a last-ditch effort and deliberately mention his sister Changsun Wugu.
As Changsun Chong's aunt and the current queen, His Majesty Li Er loved her more than anyone else.
Therefore, when Changsun Wuji mentioned Changsun Wugou at this time, he hoped that His Majesty Li Er would be lenient.
In fact, His Majesty Li Er was also very troubled in his heart.
It can be said that he grew up watching Changsun Chong, and he has always shown others to be smart, smart, and gentle.
Why wouldn't the elders like such a young and talented person?
Otherwise, how could Li Er marry his favorite daughter to him?
How could they deliberately cultivate Changsun Chong and let him temporarily take over the post of general of the Left Guard Army?
Now, I never thought that Changsun Chong was so vicious and narrow-minded. He really misjudged the person.
However, if Changsun Chong is really beheaded, Changsun Wugou will definitely be heartbroken. What should we do now?
Of course, for the emperor, who was originally a loner, family ties were nothing, but Li Er had to consider the feelings of his eldest grandson Wugou...
When comparing national laws and family ties, Li Er naturally knows which one is less important and which is more important.
But at the critical moment, Li Er was extremely confused as to how to choose.
Therefore, until Changsun Wuji left in a hurry, His Majesty Li Er did not say how to deal with Changsun Chong.
Firstly, Changsun Chong has not been caught and there is no conclusive evidence. Secondly, he really doesn’t know how to deal with it.
Of course, Changsun Wuji knew what His Majesty Li Er was thinking, and understood that this was not only because the emperor was caring about Changsun Wugou, but also to save face for himself.
But Changsun Wuji knew better. Perhaps because of his face, His Majesty Li Er would give a lighter sentence to the assassination of Yang Fan.
However, His Majesty Li Er will never tolerate the idea of igniting the Firearms Prison. This is a serious crime of treason.
Once this case is determined to be treason, His Majesty Li Er will definitely raise his butcher knife...
No nephew, no matter what hero or heroine, none of them work well.
Even if the prince did such a thing, he might be killed.
Changsun Wuji really didn't expect that his son Changsun Chong would do such a stupid thing behind his back!
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
His son, eldest son Sun Chong, has always been well-behaved and intelligent, and it can be said that he has a bright future, but he never expected that he would do such a treacherous thing out of jealousy.
Even if he is lucky enough to survive this time, his future will probably be bleak and he will never be able to make a difference in his official career.
Back at the house, Changsun Wuji sat dejectedly in the main hall for a long time, dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
At this time, Changsun Chong rushed back to Zhao Guogong's mansion from Changsun's farm after traveling many times.
The people sent to the firearms supervision department were all killed by Li Junxian. Changsun Chong had to kill Changsun Bin before escaping from the secret passage alone.
At this time, Changsun Chong was very frightened, fearing to arouse others' suspicion.
Thinking that my father, Zhang Sun Wuji, was tens of thousands of times more resourceful and politically savvy than me, I hurried back in a hurry so that I could consult my father after he was dismissed.
As soon as he stepped into the main hall, Changsun Chong was stunned.
Isn't dad going to court at this time? Why are you back so early today?
More importantly, Changsun Wuji, who always looked confident and straight-backed in the past, seemed to have suddenly aged dozens of years overnight.
At this time, he was sitting on the couch as if he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, his eyes were dull, his appearance was haggard, and he didn't even notice when he walked into the main hall.
"Dad, what are you thinking about? Are you back so early today? Did something big happen?"
Changsun Chong came to Changsun Wuji and asked respectfully.
Of course, I also wanted to find out if the court suspected me.
Changsun Wuji slowly raised his head, recovered from his daze, stared at his son with an unclear expression for a long time, and then said:
"What am I thinking? Haha...Have you ever thought about the future of your family?"
Changsun Wuji's voice was hoarse, his eyes were dull, and he looked like he hated iron.
Changsun Chong did not refute, but asked with concern: "Is my father feeling unwell? How about I ask a doctor to come over and treat my father?"
"Nowadays, because of the firearms supervisor's firearms and advanced steel-making methods, the families of all the major families are panicking. Our eldest grandson's family is also in danger. The family still needs father to take charge of the overall situation. You can't be too tight. Don't worry, the child will be safe."
Let our family flourish."
During this period of time, Changsun Wuji couldn't sleep at night because of Yang Fan's advanced steel-making method.
Changsun Chong took it for granted that his father was so haggard because the family industry was threatened.
"Carry it forward?" Changsun Wuji said with a sad smile.
Looking at his son in front of him with disappointment, he yelled: "Haha, I think my eldest grandson Wuji boasts of being full of wits and scheming, and has built up a large family business in half his life, but I really didn't expect you to be so reckless and ignorant."
"The good thing you did this time, preventing our eldest son's family from being destroyed and killing everyone, was all due to His Majesty's generosity and kindness. Now you still say that you will carry forward the family, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"I have been through ups and downs for most of my life, and the family fortune I fought for with my life was completely destroyed by you, a prodigal, in the blink of an eye. Don't you feel ashamed? See it for yourself!"
Changsun Wuji became angrier as he talked.
At the end of the sentence, his voice was fierce and he seemed to be heartbroken.
At the same time, he threw the pieces of paper he brought out from the palace directly onto the table in front of him.
I think his eldest son, Sun Wuji, followed His Majesty Li Er and made countless achievements, and he also had a deep friendship with Li Er.
As long as he doesn't commit suicide, even if he rests on his laurels, he can make his grandson's family extremely glorious.
It can even be said that as long as Li Tang's country exists, his eldest grandson's family can be as prosperous as the country!
But the son was so brainless that he actually did such a thing, which made Changsun Wuji so angry that he almost vomited blood.
After being scolded by Changsun Wuji, Changsun Chong seemed a little confused.
Glancing at Changsun Wuji, who had wide eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.
Could it be that he had someone attack the firearms prison?
Didn't Changsun Bin say that the people he brought either died or ran away?
Moreover, Changsun Bin was killed by himself, who knew that he was the mastermind behind it?
If there is no evidence, who would dare to doubt Zhao Guogong's eldest son?
You must know that our father is the most outstanding figure in the Tang Dynasty, and our aunt is the queen of the dynasty.
However, looking at the pieces of paper thrown over by Changsun Wuji, Changsun Chong felt uneasy and stepped forward to read them.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look immediately frightened Changsun Chong to the point where his face turned pale and his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.
Every word in it was like an invisible sledgehammer hitting Changsun Chong's head hard, causing Changsun Chong's head to buzz and his eyesight to be confused!
There was only one thought in his mind, his eldest grandson Chong was finished!
How come all these things were exposed?
Looking at the people recording the confessions below, there were not only tough soldiers from the Left Guard Army, but also a guy named Wang San...
For a moment, Changsun Chong felt as if the sky was falling.
Didn't Changsun Bin say that these tomb robbers took the money he gave them and fled away?
Why are you still stranded in Chang'an and caught by Yang Fan?
What's more important is that the testimonies of those who attacked the firearms prison all point to themselves, and it is impossible to quibble. This is simply God's death to Changsun Chong!
At this time, Changsun Chong was completely dumbfounded, his legs shaking like chaff.
Hearing a pop, Changsun Chong knelt directly in front of Changsun Wuji and shouted in panic: "Father, the child was forced, you have to save the child!"
Seeing his son's cowardly performance, Changsun Wuji couldn't vent his anger. He raised his foot and kicked Changsun Chong back, cursing: "Did you eat a bear's heart or something? Why did you sneak attack on the firearms monitor?"
, even if those firearms could be stolen, who would dare to buy, sell and use them?"
"More importantly, why did you provoke Yang Fan Bangchui? Didn't you see that the Cui family of Qinghe was wiped out by him?"
"Although our family is not the Cui family, you can't deal with him so brainlessly. Don't you know that using force is just a trick, and politics is an invisible killer move?"
Changsun Wuji simply couldn’t understand his son’s behavior and practices!
Thanks to Changsun Wugou's reputation and his relationship with His Majesty Li Er, the Changsun family enjoys endless glory and wealth.
Why do you want to frame Yang Fan and compete with him?
Even if Yang Fan dies or falls, what benefits will your eldest son, Sun Chong, get? Can you replace his position and role?
Changsun Chong was obviously very scared!
Ignoring Changsun Wuji's reproach, he quickly climbed up from the ground, hugged Changsun Wuji's thigh tightly, and said with a look of horror: "Dad, it's too late to say anything now. Since His Majesty already knows these things, you can't chop him down."
Killed the child’s head?”
"My child doesn't want to die. Please go and beg His Majesty for mercy. You have followed His Majesty through fire and water for so many years and have made outstanding achievements. As long as you open your mouth, Your Majesty will definitely pardon the child's crimes."
Looking at Changsun Chong crying in front of him, Changsun Wuji felt distressed and angry at the same time, and asked: "How about you tell your father frankly, why are you targeting Yang Fan like this, just because this guy has defeated you a few times?"
"Even so, our family only has some money. Why are you so ignorant and putting the entire family in danger?"
"Besides, who do you want to deal with? Why do you make the decision without consulting me? Do you still take me as your father seriously?"
Changsun Chong cried loudly: "Dad, you must save the child..."
After crying for a while, Changsun Chong wiped away his tears and looked up at Changsun Wuji. He seemed to have made a lot of determination, gritted his teeth and said, "The reason why I want to crush Yang Fan to ashes is because that guy has been with me for a long time.
Li Lizhi hooked up!"
"You don't know that on the day of Guanyin's birthday, that boy got involved with Li Lizhi again and even humiliated the child in front of her."
"I even composed a song called "Slow Voice. Searching and Searching" on the spot, saying that my cousin was having a hard time at our house."
"That boy robbed our family of money, just the iron ore, but he dared to take advantage of my cousin. I wish I could drink his blood and eat his flesh."
Changsun Wuji was shocked as he had never seen his gentle and gentle son showing such a ferocious face.
But no matter what, Qingyu who slandered Princess Changle would be beheaded.
However, Changsun Wuji also saw an opportunity and quickly asked: "Yang Fanzhen has an affair with Changle, do you have any evidence?"
As the husband-in-law of Princess Gaoyang, if Yang Fan dares to get involved with Princess Changle again, it will be inconsistent with etiquette and law anyway, and His Majesty Li Er is even less likely to let such a thing happen.
If this sneak attack on the firearms prison had been turned into a personal vendetta, Changsun Chong would probably not have been sentenced to death.
Changsun Chong gritted his teeth and said: "They are indeed a pair of bad guys and men who have done some dirty things!"
Changsun Wuji jumped to his feet anxiously and said angrily: "I asked you if you have any evidence, but you said that as long as you have it, my father can protect you from fear of your life?"
"This...this is all a child's guess." Changsun Chong hesitated and said this.
These words almost made Changsun Wuji vomit blood in anger, but they also made his eyes light up.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, as long as this rumor is confirmed, it may really be able to divert His Majesty Li Er's attention.
Changsun Wuji thought over and over in his mind.
If there was an entanglement between Yang Fan and Princess Changsun, his son Changsun Chong would lose his mind and take action against Yang Fan.
Although he was also treasonous, it was just a personal grudge and did not rise to the level of rebellion.
Based on the achievements of the Changsun family, Li Er would not have killed his son Changsun Chong with a single knife.
If his son, eldest son Sun Chong, really went to the Firearms Prison, his life would never be saved!
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji asked: "Chong'er, were you personally involved in the case of the sneak attack on the firearms prison? Do you have any other ideas?"
As soon as he saw Chang Sun Chong's expression, Chang Sun Wuji felt his heart skip a beat, but in order to confirm, he hurriedly asked: "You're telling me! If you are just jealous of Yang Fan, my father can naturally tell the matter and ask for His Majesty's approval.
I understand, but if firearms are involved, it will be a disaster."
Now that things have happened, what else does Changsun Chong have to hide?
Then he told how he secretly contacted Duan Zhixuan, how he arranged for Changsun Bin to find someone to dig a tunnel, and how he planned to frame Yang Fan.
