Cheng Wuting: "..."

If this Helan Chushi is Wu Shunniang's husband, it would be understandable. Although it is unscrupulous to kill someone else's husband and take over someone else's wife, this kind of thing has been common throughout the ages. Moreover, Fang Jun has always had such a not-so-pleasant reputation...

…

But Helan Chushi is just the cousin of Wu Shunniang's husband Helan Yueshi. Is it possible that there is a "brother eventually brother" relationship between the two?

My boss is impatient to share with others and wants to keep it to himself...

Thinking of this, he nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Commander, the general knows what to do, and will definitely beat Helan Chushi to death with a stick to help the Commander get his wish!"

Fang Jun: "..."

He looked at Cheng Wuting in confusion, why did his words sound so confusing and unclear?

However, he didn't bother to explain the truth. As long as Cheng Wu was obedient and did it, Wu Shunniang had always been as pliant as water in front of him and had never had the slightest intention of seeking benefits. This time she was able to come forward to plead for Helan Chushi, which is enough to show that she must suffer behind her back.

A great deal of pressure.

Then kill Helan Chushi, and push the Helan family into the mud at the same time. Even if they can't cut off their foundation and destroy their whole family, they will still be able to make it impossible for them to stand up for decades...

*****

The sky was gloomy and snow was falling. The willow branches on both sides of Baqiao were swaying in the wind. The ice floes on the river were not frozen solid, but were broken into pieces by the turbulence of the river. Pieces of broken ice were carried by the river and flowed slowly.

Cars and horses were rattling on the bridge, and there were endless pedestrians.

Outside the long pavilion at the end of the bridge, a long motorcade was parked there, with soldiers and servants coming and going. Pedestrians and business travelers passing by looked sideways, wondering whose motorcade this was. It looked like they were going on a long trip with their families.

In the pavilion, Chai Lingwu held his brother's hand tightly, with a worried look on his face, and kept telling him: "We are going to the vast sea with high mountains and long roads, and it is freezing cold. My brother and sister-in-law must take care of themselves.

Take a rest when you pass by inns along the way, make sure your food, clothing, and food are in good condition, and don't worry about money or silk. If you are short of money, just write a letter and someone from home will provide it."

On the side, Chai Zhewei's wife Wang and Princess Baling also lowered their heads and wiped away tears, feeling miserable.

There are two routes from Chang'an to Hanhai, Mobei. One is from Xianyang Bridge, across the Wei River, along the Qinzhidao to the north, across the Yellow River, to Jiuyuan, and through the Baidao across the Yinshan Mountains. The other is from Chang'an to the east and crosses eastward.

The Yellow River goes north along the Fen River Valley, passes through Yanmen Pass, and then passes through the mountain pass at the eastern foot of Yinshan Mountain to reach Monan.

The former road is straight and saves time, but it has always been used to quickly transport troops from Guanzhong to the north. The emphasis is on rapid maneuvering. Therefore, there is a lack of supplies along the way and there are few post stations, so it is not suitable for long-distance migration of families and families.

The latter is much more circuitous and the route is almost twice as long as the former. However, it is more advantageous because it passes through the more prosperous area of ​​Hedong Road. It is also an important road for merchants to trade northward. It has many post stations and convenient supplies, so the Chai family's exile in Hanhai is the choice.

down this road.

However, no matter how many stations there are along the way, it is freezing cold and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. It is an extremely difficult journey to travel such a long distance. The south of Yinshan Mountain is not bad. After passing Yanmen Pass, there are mountains and mountains covered with ice and snow. If you are not careful, you will miss it.

The station will have to sleep outdoors. If there is a snowstorm unluckily, it is possible that the entire convoy will be buried in heavy snow...

It’s not easy to travel far these days, let alone taking such a desolate and difficult road?

It's hard to say, it's just a farewell of life and death...

Chai Zhewei held his brother's hand tightly, feeling filled with regret in his heart. He had always wanted to enter the center but had repeatedly chosen the wrong side and stood in the wrong team. Otherwise, why would he be in such difficulty today? Then he thought about his room going north to the vast sea and not knowing when to return.

On that day, all the property of such a big family was occupied by the second house, and it was like a poisonous snake eating the heart, and I could hardly breathe.

Both brothers rebelled against each other, so why were their futures so different? One was dismissed from his post, and his family was exiled, while the other inherited his title and occupied the family property. How unfair!

However, he did not dare to show a trace on his face. Instead, he could only weep and choke: "Second brother, when I stay in the capital, I must take care of the family business so that the lintel does not fall. Furthermore, I must take brother Yu as a warning, be cautious in words and deeds, and do things according to my duty.

You must never follow Brother Fool’s old path.”

Even though he was filled with resentment in his heart, he also understood that whether he could survive in the vast sea and endure less hardship would ultimately depend on the care of his family.

If you don’t have someone to back you up, the fine furniture you brought with you when you go to the vast sea can easily become the original sin of destroying your family and destroying your family. They will be killed and robbed by the ruthless soldiers and bandits over there, and your whole family will be destroyed...

…

Chai Lingwu hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry. As the saying goes, you will gain wisdom from the experience. How can you forget the lessons learned before? I will definitely not repeat the same mistakes as my brother. I will just share the capital honestly to maintain the family business. I will look for your majesty's favor in the future."

Seek an official position, work diligently and steadily, and revive the declining family business."

Chai Zhewei almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. The reason why the family is in trouble today is all because of me, but it depends on you to get back on track?

Have you forgotten that every time you make a decision, you fully support it without any objection?

As a result, now I have become the sinner of the family, but you have become the hope of the family?

Mother...

Cursing angrily in his heart, Chai Zhewei let go of his brother's hand, turned to Princess Baling on the side, then bowed his arms to the ground and said sadly: "I survived this time, thanks to your highness's kindness. Brother Yu is very grateful. The second brother has a weak character.

If I don't show my ability, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support the family business. I hope that your highnesses will be harmonious as husband and wife, be in good health for a long time, and be the same as you. Even though Brother Yu is in a bitter and cold place, he should feel relieved."

He knew very well who the real pillar of the Chai family would be from now on. If he had relied on Chai Lingwu, he might have wiped out the family fortune in a few days, and the family would have fallen into ruin. Princess Baling not only had the dignity of a princess, but also had the dignity of a princess.

With Fang Jun as her backer, as long as she can concentrate on being the Chai family's wife, the Chai family will be prosperous and prosperous soon.

But if Chai Lingwu and his wife are not on good terms, their relationship is not harmonious, or even reaches the point where the relationship between husband and wife is broken, then the Chai family will not be spared from the fall.

After all, there are precedents for the Princess of the Tang Dynasty to "harmony"...

As soon as these words came out, both Chai Lingwu and Princess Baling felt uncomfortable. Chai Lingwu's face was gloomy and he was angry. Although the latter was sobbing quietly, but being hinted to her face by her uncle like this, her pretty face turned red and she was extremely embarrassed.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Chai Lingwu endured it, but still felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "The mountains are high and the road is long, brother, it is better to set off as soon as possible."

Chai Zhewei's eyes twitched, and he was very angry at his brother's impatience. But after all, he relied a lot on his family from now on, so he didn't dare to get angry. He suppressed his anger and said, "My second brother must also take care of the family business."

Chai Lingwu nodded: "Brother, don't worry, I will take care of everything in the family."

Chai Zhewei: "..."

…

Watching the motorcade as they meandered across Baqiao and gradually disappeared into the windy and snowy sky, Chai Lingwu not only did not feel half-departed and desolate in his heart, but it seemed that the heavy snow in the sky was full of poetry and painting, and the white snowflakes were scattered one after another, filling his heart.

The haze was swept away.

Since then, the world has been vast, and the business of such a large family has been taken care of by one hand, and he has been promoted to the title of Duke, and his status is respected. From now on, he can do whatever he wants without any restraints. How can he not feel happy and satisfied with his ambitions?

But when I turned around and saw my graceful, graceful and gentle wife, a complex emotion surged uncontrollably in my heart.

But he is not a fool. He knows that the reason why the Chai family is safe and sound after relying on King Jin to rebel, and that he can inherit the title of Duke Qiao, is all due to Princess Baling. If she had not made a "sacrifice", there would be no happiness today.

.

His feelings about Princess Baling's "sacrifice" are extremely complicated. On the one hand, the so-called "obedience to power in a hurry" means that when the whole family is about to be exterminated and the inheritance is cut off, how can he care about chastity and moral integrity? Even if he commits himself to Fang Jun,

It is understandable, otherwise he would be the only one following Chai Zhewei to be exiled to the vast sea at this moment.

On the other hand, Chai Lingwu cares about whether this "sacrifice" is active or passive, and whether it will be continuously involved afterwards.

When he thought about his wife being recruited by Fang Jun and enjoying it as he pleased, he felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe...

Therefore, he just said lightly: "The wind and snow are too heavy, your Highness might as well return home as soon as possible."

Then, surrounded by several generals, he walked out of the pavilion, got on his horse and rode away.

Princess Baling lowered her eyes and sat quietly in the pavilion for a while, looking at the snowflakes flying outside the pavilion without saying a word for a long time.

After a long time, at the urging of the maid, he stood up, put on a snow-white fox fur cloak, stepped onto the carriage, and returned to Chang'an City, surrounded by people.

*****

"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon."

Li Junxian entered the imperial study and knelt on one knee, looking ashamed.

Li Chengqian hurriedly put down the writing brush he was reviewing the memorials and asked: "What crime is the general guilty of?"

Li Junxian said: "Just now, the king of Jiangxia County committed suicide with a dagger that he had secretly hidden in prison."

After Li Daozong was captured, he was detained in prison by the "Baiqisi". Because he was seriously injured, he did not have time to be interrogated. He was only given emergency treatment by the imperial doctor. It stands to reason that for such an important prisoner like Li Daozong, all the "Baiqisi"

Everyone must be on guard, not only to prevent him from being rescued, but also to prevent him from committing suicide. But now that he committed suicide in full view of the public, Li Junxian cannot escape the blame.

However, Li Chengqian did not criticize him harshly, and sighed with a lonely expression: "The Prince of Jiangxia County followed the late Emperor in the Northern and Southern War, and made great achievements. The late Emperor trusted him even more than the Prince of Hejian County. Not only was he closely related to Guanlong, but also

There are many people in Tai Chi Palace who are secretly involved with him, not to mention the 'Hundred Qisi'... If he really wanted to commit suicide with a dagger, some people would send it to him, so the general doesn't have to blame himself."

On the one hand, this is indeed the case. Li Daozong's influence in the clan, palace, and imperial army is unparalleled, so it is not difficult to obtain a dagger.

On the other hand, he needs Li Junxian's wholehearted loyalty.

Li Xiaogong and Li Yuanjia speculated that someone in the clan was plotting to kill him as the emperor. This made him feel like a thorn in the back, and he was frightened. At that time, he did not trust Li Junxian and gave him the greatest power.

The rebellious officials and traitors were discovered.

You have a thousand days to be a thief, but not a thousand days to guard against thieves. If you don't catch those thieves, how long will you have to guard against them?

You may never know when something is negligent, and it will create an indescribable hatred...

After calming down, Li Chengqian said: "Send the Prince of Jiangxia County back to his mansion, and pass on my instructions to Zongzheng Temple to hold the funeral according to the specifications of the Prince. The Prince of Jiangxia County is a meritorious official of the country. Although he has gone astray and rebelled before,
Chapter completed!
