Chapter 731: Farewell
Jiang Chengzi stretched out his hand, but the eldest grandson Wuji grabbed it. The paper used to write the pre-war book was Qingjiangbai brought by Changsun Jun himself, and it was asked by Li Ke after returning from the envoy to the Turks. But I never thought that a thick stack of paper would now come in for such a sad use.
The eldest grandson Wuji grabbed the letter written by the eldest grandson Jun to Li Shimin, and suddenly burst into tears and looked sad. After he read it, he still held the letter tightly in his hand, looked at Li Shimin, and said, "Your Majesty, I might as well be relighted." ”
"Auxiliary, don't say that. It was our past days that were too difficult for us to be on guard at every turn. Li Shimin comforted.
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, stood up straight, and then said: "In fact, as Chongguang said, I care about the stability and peace of the Tang Dynasty, and my original intentions are good, but because of prejudice, I may judge that the King of Shu will become the disaster of the Tang Dynasty, and I am on guard everywhere and want to get rid of it everywhere." It really shouldn't be. ”
When the eldest grandson Wuji said this, he turned his head to look at Jiang Chengzi again, and said with a sad face, "Ah Zhi, in the past, I'm sorry. I don't want to make any big excuses about what I'm doing. ”
"Uncle, you don't have to be like this, you are also doing your best for Datang. Jiang Chengzi looked at the old elder at this moment, and all the previous grievances were let go at this moment. At this moment, he is the father of a child who died on the battlefield, and his face is full of sorrow.
Jiang Chengzi looked at his face, still like he used to give out pensions, facing the parents of his comrades-in-arms, and didn't know how to comfort them. She looked at the sadness on his face, the sadness in his eyes, and after a long while, she shouted helplessly: "Uncle." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded slightly, then turned to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will value the letter that Guang gave me now. ”
Li Shimin nodded, took out a letter from the desk and handed it to the eldest grandson Wuji. The letter was sealed with fire paint, and the words "Father's Greetings" were written on it. The eldest grandson Wuji took it tremblingly, and tore it several times, but he didn't tear it open.
"Auxiliary, I'll help you. Li Shimin sighed.
Eldest Sun Wuji nodded slightly, his body trembled slightly, moved his lips, and said, "I, I've never been very good to the third child." ”
"Auxiliary, where are you not good? You hate iron but not steel, that is the depth of love, and the responsibility is keen. Li Shimin said.
"In short, I, I haven't had a good face for the third child. There was deep self-reproach in the words of the eldest grandson Wuji. At this moment, the uncle who no longer leans towards the government and the opposition is just a father who has lost his child.
"You. Li Shimin didn't know what to say, so he only handed the letter that he had torn open to his eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson, Wuji, took it and took out the letter from the envelope. A full five pages of Qingjiang Bai, Jiang Chengzi glanced at it from a distance and saw that it was written with a quill pen dipped in ink.
"Ah Zhi, this is yours, do you want to read it now, or will you find Chongguang in the future and see it again?" Li Shimin looked at Jiang Chengzi and asked.
"Your Majesty, the third prince is my friend with the King of Shu. Because of the gap between the King of Shu and his uncle, he has always been worried. It is estimated that this expedition is extremely dangerous, and it is because I hope that the King of Shu and Uncle Guo will release their previous suspicions, so I wrote this letter to me. I choose, look at it now. Jiang Chengzi stood up and bowed to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin nodded and handed another letter to Jiang Chengzi. Jiang Chengzi took it, remembering several meetings with the eldest grandson, thinking that this person was gone, and he felt very sad.
The envelope is the same as the one to the eldest grandson Wuji, only the words "Yang's Azhi personally opened" are written on it, and it is also sealed with fire paint. Jiang Chengzi opened it cautiously and pulled out the letter. The three-page Qingjiang white, the line is small, chic and elegant. She stood aside and looked at it carefully.
This letter is a pre-war letter written by Changsun Jun, and the writing is as humorous and chic as ever.
He said:
Gigi!
On the day the letter was delivered to you, I was dead. In the past, before I met you, I lived in Chang'an, living in a mess, a family pawn, and never had a self. In the dead of night, when I think of what I have done, I am disgusted, but I am powerless to change it, I want to get rid of it, but I don't know what to do. Therefore, it is absurd, and the land of drunken gold is obsessed with fireworks. The heart is empty, like a walking corpse, and life is boring.
However, how fortunate I am to have met you. If you are bright and breezy, if you are brilliant clouds, if you are high mountains and flowing water, let me marvel at your generosity and selflessness, and I am ashamed to spend my years in vain.
You make salt and promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes; you propose to establish a Gewu Institute to develop agricultural science and technology; you gather the wisdom of all people, study water conservancy, give advice and suggestions for getting rid of droughts and floods, and strangle the locust plague in the cradle; you do your best to deal with the family for the peace of the court (didn't you expect it? When you were dealing with the family in Hongnong Yang, I was ordered to secretly supervise them) and force them to reform; and the people of the Tang Dynasty were happy and did their best, wishing the border peace and tranquility, but they could run thousands of miles and kill the enemy.
Thou art tender as water, extremely kind to men, and strong as iron, and unrelenting in your intrusion. You are delicate and lovely, and you are coquettish to those close to you, but you are very measured and courteous to people. You guard the people you care about, and you have never had the slightest interest in fame and fortune.
Ah Zhi, how fortunate I am to meet you like this. Because I met you, I can finally get close to the king of Shu. Once upon a time, I admired the King of Shu, but I couldn't fellowship with him. I was happy with everything he did, however, after the Xuanwumen Change, my father was suspicious, for fear that the tragedy would happen again, shaking the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and the world would rise again. Therefore, his aim was to destroy the old aristocratic King Shu. Therefore, I have never had any chance of intersecting with the King of Shu.
But I met you. You and the King of Shu let me see the beauty of the world, and I can't help but want to protect. I write this letter today, at a time when I don't know life or death. One wants to say to Ah Zhi that no matter what you and the King of Shu think of me, I have regarded you as confidants, close friends, brothers and sisters from the bottom of my heart, and the other wants to ask Ah Zhi for forgiveness from my father. My father was also a beneficiary of the world, dedicated to inheriting my grandfather's legacy, seeking the well-being of the people, and fearing the chaos of the war, so he was very strict with the crown prince and quite biased towards the king of Shu.
Ah Zhi, today, when I say goodbye, I will tell you that the ambition of the eldest grandson and everything he has done to the prince really has nothing to do with my father. The eldest grandson's family is rotten inside, each house is ambitious, and the quality is uneven, my father thought that he could turn the tide, but in fact, the carriage had already been out of control, and he couldn't control it. Ah Zhi, if you don't die this time, I will have to deal with the matter of the eldest grandson in person, protect you and the king of Shu, and also protect my father. If I unfortunately die, I will also write a letter to my father, and if he sees through it, he will ask Ah Zhi to see my thin face and make peace with him, and if he is obsessed, you can do whatever you want.
Ah Zhi, I wish that until you are gray-haired, I will not see this letter. I also want to welcome the coming of the Tang Dynasty with you. However, the things of the world are always not up to anyone. I went to the border of the northern region and investigated the Turkic situation with Liu Lancheng. The situation in the north is unstable, and war can break out at any time. If the war breaks out, I am afraid that I will take the lead and die.
If this letter reaches you, I beg Azhi Mo to grieve, and I will die a well-deserved death.
May Azhi be happy forever and full of children and grandchildren.
Only his name is written "Eldest Sun Chongguang", and the date below is written seven days ago. It seems that seven days before they had foreseen the beginning of the war, and they wrote this farewell.
Jiang Chengzi watched it twice, but he was full of guilt in his heart. The eldest grandson Jun treated her very sincerely several times, even in the matter of Li Ke's envoy to the Turks, he was also biased towards them. But she and Li Ke were reborn and crossed, because of their understanding of the world, they put it to the eldest grandson, and never refused to give much sincerity. But people are sincere.
She couldn't help but look at it again, and tears couldn't help but fall.
"Ah Zhi, Chongguang said, don't be sad, he, he died for the country and the people. When the eldest grandson Wuji saw her crying, he comforted her, but his voice trembled.
"Hmm. Jiang Chengzi wiped his tears and nodded heavily in reply.
"Look at this letter. Eldest Sun Wuji raised his hand and handed over the letter that Eldest Sun Jun had written to him.
Jiang Chengzi was very surprised, and the eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said, "You take a look first." ”
Jiang Chengzi looked at Li Shimin again, and Li Shimin also nodded and said, "After you read this letter, read the one he wrote to me as well." ”
"Yes. Jiang Chengzi answered and took both letters.
She first read the letter written by the eldest grandson to the eldest grandson Wuji. The letter was very long, and most of the content was to thank the eldest grandson Wuji for his nurturing grace, saying that the person he admired most since he was a child was his father, and he was proud to have such a father.
After thanking his father for his nurturing grace, Changsun Jun directly stated that the eldest grandson was hopeless. He is ashamed to be born in a big family like the eldest grandson, and he sees all the open and secret battles and all kinds of filth in the eldest grandson's house. At the same time, he also listed the bad things done by looking at each house, and finally came to the conclusion that the eldest grandson is no longer saved, and if the father is still obsessed, he will eventually go astray, so that the monarch and the minister are dissatisfied, the brother and sister are not harmonious, and the nephew and uncle turn against each other, so that the reputation will be damaged, and the eldest grandson's house will also be dragged into a place of no return.
The eldest grandson suggested that his father cut off his wrist, and the big house was independent and not involved with each house, so that he could come back to life. He also advised his father that there are thousands of roads in the world, and if you take another path, the eldest grandson may be more prosperous, for example, he went to the army and made meritorious achievements in seeking a new path. As the eldest brother of the heir, he has been bright since he was a child, but he has been instigated and deceived by various houses for a long time, and he is afraid that he will have different intentions, and he hopes that his father will pay attention to it and teach him patiently, so as not to go astray and dig his own grave.
At the end of the letter, he wrote, "Yang's Azhi, with noble conduct, and the King of Shu is also a transparent person, and the two have no desire to draw fame and fortune, and I hope that my father will not listen to and believe in it." At the same time, he implored his father to treat the king of Shu as his own nephew, and at the same time, he also thoroughly investigated the control of the prince in each room and installed people in the Lizheng Palace, in an attempt to control the unborn prince and quickly repair the relationship with the prince's nephew.
After reading this letter, Jiang Chengzi felt very uncomfortable, and his nose was pantothenic again. She silently handed the letter to her eldest grandson, Wuji.
"Chongguang is more transparent than me, isn't it?" asked the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Uncle, if Chongguang is still alive, do you want to replace the heir with him?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"Hmm. Eldest Sun Wuji nodded and said lonely, "Actually, I thought about changing to him last night, but—"
The eldest grandson Wuji said, and the tears couldn't stop flowing. Li Shimin sighed and said, "Auxiliary, I can't stand you." ”
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said.
Li Shimin didn't speak, and only asked Jiang Chengzi to read the letter that the eldest grandson gave him. Jiang Chengzi opened the letter at this time, the content was nothing more than hoping that Li Shimin could thank him for his friendship and help his father, the entire eldest grandson clan was terminally ill, and if it continued, it would bring down the eldest grandson's big house.
At the same time, the eldest grandson also mentioned the marriage of the eldest princess, saying that he shouldn't have said much, but if this letter reaches His Majesty, it means that he is dead. Those who are dead must be forgiven. He said that the eldest grandson Chong regarded himself as the heir, and in the past few years, he has run the eldest grandson's family, shared his father's worries, and done a lot of things to drill the camp, and Princess Changle is simple and beautiful, and the two are not all the way. If Your Majesty wants to reward the eldest grandson, it is better to let the children of the big house go to the army to exercise, go to the Gewu Academy to do chores, or send them to the Yang clan to study. The Yang clan is famous all over the world, and the Gewu Academy gathers the world's real talents, and the army can truly experience life and death, and experience the suffering of the people.
Finally, Changsun Jun analyzed the ambitions of the Turks, the topographical situation in the north, and pointed out the places where the battle might be. In addition, he also analyzed the comparison of the strength of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, assuming that he was Jieli, how to destroy the Tang army.
Jiang Chengzi watched these analyses several times, and secretly admired this eldest grandson Jun for being a genius in military affairs. It was also at this time that Jiang Chengzi understood why Li Ke only looked down on one eldest grandson in the past.
"Your Majesty, I'm done. Jiang Chengzi held the letter to Li Shimin with both hands.
Li Shimin took it and asked, "Ah Zhi, do you have any insights into what Chongguang said?"
"Your Majesty, I am not proficient in war, but looking at the analysis of the third prince, every word is beautiful, and the third prince is really a military wizard. Jiang Chengzi replied.
Li Shimin sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't? It's a pity that this kid, my Datang is missing a pillar." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love. The eldest grandson Wuji said.
"Auxiliary, it's not interesting for you to say that. Today, this matter is not to be made public for the time being. After all, Chongguang hasn't been found yet, and maybe there's a glimmer of life left in the room. Li Shimin said.
"Yes. The eldest grandson Wuji replied, and the whole person stiffened.
"Don't mention the matter of Chong'er for the time being. As for the rooms in your house, in a few days, you can just leave them. Those who should go to the official ranks, the people who should be dealt with, I began to arrange for people to do it. Li Shimin said again.
The eldest grandson Wuji only thanked him with a wooden expression. Li Shimin couldn't bear to look at it, so he only said to Jiang Chengzi: "Ah Zhi, today's matter is confidential, you can step down." You take your uncle back to the house. ”
"Yes. Jiang Chengzi answered, and helped the eldest grandson Wuji to walk out.
