Chapter 688 Homecoming
Changsun Chong was overjoyed, thinking that Changsun Wuji was just putting on a show.
"Nizi, you dare to do something to the princess, do you want the entire eldest grandson's family to be buried with you?"
After the servant went down, Changsun Wuji could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
"Father, it's not that serious, is it?" Chang Sun Chong said with some disapproval.
"Not serious? Princess Gaoyang is His Majesty's daughter. If you hit her, you are slapping His Majesty in the face." Changsun Wuji was furious.
After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, his honor and favor far surpassed others.
Not only was he bestowed the title of duke of the country, but he was also named Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and later worshiped the right servant of Shangshu, which can be described as an extremely human minister.
However, there are many examples in history that the power of foreign relatives caused the emperor's suspicion. How could Changsun Wuji not know the hidden crisis.
Later, Empress Changsun approached him and told him that relatives should not have too much power.
Changsun Wuji didn't know whether this was what Empress Changsun meant, or whether Li Shimin used Empress Changsun to persuade him.
After all, Changsun Wuji is not an ordinary person, so he resigned all his positions very decisively.
This tactic was to advance by retreating, and it really worked. Li Shimin trusted him even more.
Since then, Changsun Wuji has become more and more cautious, and Li Shimin has more and more trust in him.
Isn't Changsun Wuji eager for power?
No, he was very eager.
But he knew very well that it was impossible for Li Shimin to tolerate a foreign relative holding power all the time, so he didn't dare to get involved in the power, and kept waiting for the opportunity.
However, he endured it for so long, but was almost destroyed by Changsun Chong.
What will outsiders think about the story of the eldest grandson beating the princess today?
Changsun Wuji didn't need to think about it, there must be rumors outside that the Changsun family was so powerful that even the princess dared to fight.
Don't underestimate these rumors, even if Li Shimin didn't care at first, it's impossible for Li Shimin not to care after it's spread for a long time.
Once Li Shimin felt that the eldest grandson's family was too powerful, his forbearance all these years would be in vain.
Changsun Wuji didn't want to talk nonsense with Changsun Chong, so he slammed the stick in his hand towards Changsun Chong's back.
"what!"
Changsun Chong was totally unprepared, and Changsun Wuji didn't hold back his hands, so he was whipped with a stick and fell to the ground.
Although Changsun Wuji was a literati, he followed Li Shimin in the north and south in his early years, and his physical fitness was still good.
Even though he is old now, his strength is not small.
Changsun Wuji ignored Changsun Chong's screams, and slapped Changsun Chong's back with a stick.
Xu's face changed drastically when he learned that Changsun Wuji had ordered Changsun Chong to be tied up in the ancestral hall, and he hurried to the ancestral hall.
As soon as he came outside the ancestral hall, he heard Chang Sun Chong screaming. The screams were a little hoarse, which showed that Chang Sun Chong had been screaming for a long time.
Xu ignored the rule that women cannot enter the ancestral hall, so he pushed the door and shouted, "Stop!"
"Who let you enter the ancestral hall?" Changsun Wuji frowned slightly as he looked at Xu who came in.
In ancient times, women were considered unclean, and worshiping ancestors would offend their ancestors, so women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall.
Of course, there are exceptions, that is, when the main wife enters the door, because the name needs to be entered in the genealogy, she can enter the ancestral hall to worship once.
Since then, women have not been allowed to enter the ancestral hall.
In many TV shows, women are punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for making mistakes, which does not exist
Xu's family is a small family in Taiyuan. When Changsun Wuji was down and down, Xu's family married Xu to Changsun Wuji, so Changsun Wuji has always treated Xu with respect and never blushed.
However, Changsun Wuji was still a little displeased with Xu's entry into the ancestral hall.
"If I don't come, Chong'er will be beaten to death by you."
Xu didn't look at Changsun Wuji's face, went up to help Changsun Chong, and said with a calm expression: "Chong'er, are you okay?"
"Mother, help me, father is going to kill the child." Changsun Chong cried.
Seeing the eldest grandson crying bitterly at a man, Mrs. Xu regained her composure, and said, "It's okay, mother is here, let me go back with mother, if he is capable, he will beat both of us together."
As he said that, Mrs. Xu was going to help the eldest Sun Chong who was lying on the ground.
"Mom, slow down, it hurts."
When he got up, he pulled the wound, causing bursts of pain, and Chang Sun Chong couldn't help crying.
"Do you know what this rebellious son has done?" Changsun Wuji said with an ugly face.
Xu said slightly angrily: "No matter what Chong'er did, you can't beat him to death."
"A loving mother often loses sons." Changsun Wuji snorted coldly and said, "He dared to beat the princess. If I don't beat him, the whole eldest grandson's family will be implicated when the imperial censor impeaches him."
"Who told you to insist on marrying some princess, that Princess Gao Yang runs out all day, I really don't know how to teach her."
Mrs. Xu didn't like Princess Gaoyang either. She married a daughter-in-law and didn't say hello every day. When she saw her, she wanted to salute.
"Shut up! Princess Gaoyang is raised by the empress, are you questioning the empress?" Changsun Wuji scolded.
"I didn't say that." Xu also knew that he had vowed, and said: "Even if you beat the princess, you beat the princess, and it's almost the same. You can't really beat Chong'er to death."
"What do you know?"
Just as Changsun Wuji was about to say something, the butler's voice sounded outside the ancestral hall.
"My lord, the princess has brought her back to the palace, but this old slave dare not stop her. Now she has left the palace."
Changsun Wuji glared at Xu, and said: "You see now? The princess has golden branches and jade leaves. Hitting the princess is a treasonous act. Once the investigation is carried out, the entire eldest grandson's family will be implicated."
Mrs. Xu also panicked at this time, and said, "Master, hurry up and ask the Empress for mercy."
"Pleading? How?" Changsun Wuji said angrily.
Although Empress Changsun is his younger sister, she is also the Empress of the Tang Dynasty. It has something to do with the face of the royal family. Why is Empress Changsun partial?
Moreover, Changsun Wuji knew his sister's temperament very well, and it was the most fair thing. In any case, it was a serious crime for the eldest grandson to beat the princess, and it was impossible for her to take sides.
"Then what should we do now?" Xu asked in a panic.
"What should I do? The old man was going to beat him up, and took him to the palace to plead guilty, so that His Majesty will also forgive him. You are good, if you don't allow the beating, then wait for His Majesty to investigate and send him to the frontier." Changsun Wuji said nothing. Said angrily.
In fact, Changsun Wuji was a bit exaggerated. Although Li Shimin was angry when Changsun beat Princess Gaoyang, he would not be sent to the frontier, but the punishment would definitely not escape.
He did this just to show his attitude.
"Master, it's my concubine's wrong identity, you continue." Xu said hastily.
Chang Sun Chong: ...
Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said: "The beating is almost done, the old man is now taking him into the palace to plead guilty."
……
Lin Xuan didn't know what happened in Changsun's mansion, and didn't care if he didn't see Cheng Chuliang and Changsun Chong when he came out of Lizheng Hall. He just wanted to go home as soon as possible.
After leaving Chang'an City, Lin Xuan speeded up his horse and arrived at Zhouzhuang in less than a stick of incense.
When the people of Zhouzhuang saw Lin Xuan, they saluted Lin Xuan with smiles on their faces.
Lin Xuan smiled and nodded all the way. Not long after, Lin Fu appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes.
