Chapter 1072: We Have Similar Interests Since We Were Young
"Brother Kuan..." Li Chengqian was already in tears at this moment: "It's my elder brother...it's my elder brother who is useless!"
"I asked Wuji before, who is more suitable to be the crown prince, you or Kuan'er." Seeing Li Chengqian's grief and pain, His Majesty Li II did not stop him, but just said to himself: "Wuji chose to support you without hesitation. But it was precisely because of his hesitation that I realized that he actually had other thoughts.
He was afraid of Kuan'er, so he chose you, but you two brothers are as close as a rock, so he's not afraid?" When Emperor Li II said this, he saw his son was still crying, so he raised his hand and rubbed his head in anger: "Enough! Still crying? ! Your brother paid such a high price, not for your tears!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian quickly reached out to wipe away his tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears came.
"Kuan'er is going to attack Tianzhu this time, and he has already said that after conquering Tianzhu, he will let Zhinu rule the whole of Tianzhu." When Emperor Li II said this, he was angry at his son's incompetence and said, "Kuan'er did this because he was afraid that Wuji would plot against Zhinu! After all, Qingque and Kuan'er...you and I know how close they are, so Zhinu is Wuji's last choice..."
"Father..." Li Chengqian was still choking up as he spoke: "Your Majesty...what should I do?"
"You don't have to do anything, because your brother has already thought of everything for you..." When Emperor Li II said this, he couldn't help but think of his brother, which made him feel even worse at the moment: "That damned Li Yuanji... Die!"
"..." In response, Li Chengqian pretended he heard nothing.
"Please keep this Duan inkstone." After cursing, Emperor Li II felt much better. He handed the inkstone to Li Chengqian, who also took it respectfully.
"You are more fortunate than I am." His Majesty Li II took one last look at the inkstone, then waved his hand and said, "Go back. Don't tell anyone about our conversation today. If you really care about your brother, you should know what to do in the future."
"Son, I understand..." Li Chengqian wanted to cry again, but he still remembered his mission as the eldest brother: "Father... please don't blame my brother Kuan... If you really have to blame someone... you should blame your son, the crown prince, for being useless..."
"Get lost! Go back to your East Palace and study!" How did His Majesty Li Er find out that his eldest son loves crying, just like him...
"Father, Your Majesty... I will take my leave..."
After Li Chengqian left, His Majesty Li II stood in the center of the hall in silence for a long time, and then he sighed silently.
Actually... there is one thing he didn't say.
Li Kuan passed the inkstone to Fang Yiai through his hand, actually telling him that he would leave after the battle in Tianzhu.
Leave the Tang Dynasty and conquer places that His Majesty Li II has never heard of.
What can His Majesty Li Er say about this...
Are those unknown continents really such good feng shui places?
His Majesty Li II does not think so.
He just felt that he, as a father... ultimately... had lost his heart, his eyes, and his job...
-------------------------------------
After returning home, Changsun Wuji locked himself in the study and thought carefully for a long time.
Then he called his son Chang Sun Chong in.
"Father, the wound on your face——"
"——This is not important!" Zhang Sun Wuji felt even more depressed after hearing this, so he interrupted him and said, "Write a letter to Kuan Er now and apologize to him on my behalf."
"Ah?" Chang Sun Chong was a little surprised when he heard this: "Father, why is this?"
"Just write it when I tell you to! Just say that I, your uncle, now knows I was wrong, and I hope His Royal Highness the King of Chu can show mercy!" Although there are still many things that Changsun Wuji cannot figure out, he is keenly aware that the person who caused him to be so unlucky today is definitely Li Kuan.
In this case, he might as well use his son's mouth to say a few soft words to the other party, and then turn around and go to the palace to complain to his sister.
Since His Majesty is unwilling to tell him the reason, he will find a way to solve all the mysteries himself.
"I won't write it." Chang Sun Chong looked at his father, who had a gloomy face and no intention of repenting. He immediately said coldly, "I have no face."
"What the hell did you say?!" Upon hearing this, Chang Sun Chong stood up, picked up the brush washer on the table and threw it at him: "You have no shame?!"
"Snapped!"
The brush washer broke into countless pieces on the ground, just like Duke Zhao's wounded heart at the moment.
"Yes, I am ashamed." Chang Sun Chong said calmly, "If it weren't for the sake of the child, I would have divorced Li Qingqing! Yiai is my brother after all, but she did such a thing...
Father, does our family really have to be at the top to be considered prosperous?
But what is the apex?
What does it mean for a family to be prosperous?
The glory of burning fire and oil will eventually burn us to ashes. You should understand this principle... "
"Do you think that at this point... we still have a way out?" Changsun Wuji sneered, "Li Kuan has already forced Fang Xuanling to turn against me. In the future, I will fight him to the death! Earlier in the palace... Your Majesty protected Fang Xuanling, which was a tacit acknowledgement of this... I have become a pawn now, but I must know why, right?!"
"..." Chang Sun Chong looked at his father who had gone mad. He turned around helplessly and walked out of the study: "I will write the letter... As for the result... I will also inform you as soon as possible... That's it..."
So be it……
At this moment, Chang Sun Chong is standing in the "tomorrow" that he felt would never come in his childhood, and he misses the past very much.
But no matter how much I miss those carefree days, they can never be returned...
On the other side, after Fang Xuanling returned home, facing his worried wife, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Madam, it's okay. Yiai should be treated well in the palace. Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has left Chang'an, the Zongzheng Temple... will give him face."
"I'm not asking for this..." Madam Fang was also a wonderful person. After learning that her son was safe, she continued to ask with a worried look on her face, "Did His Majesty really fine you for half a year's salary?"
"How did you know about this?" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but feel strange: "I didn't mention it..."
"Someone came to our house just now and gave us a big box of gold, silver and jewelry. He also said it was... compensation from His Majesty the Prince of Chu. He said that you were fined half a year's salary by His Majesty because of him, and he felt uneasy..." Madam Fang said with a lack of confidence: "I also wanted to refuse... but His Majesty the Prince of Chu gave too much... and he repeatedly stated that this was all the dividends that Yiai got from doing business with him... Even if it was brought to His Majesty, he couldn't explain it clearly..."
"Yiai, that kid, couldn't even count from one to one hundred until he was eight years old. How could he go into business with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu?" Fang Xuanling felt that his wife was really deceiving herself.
"Fang Xuanling, what do you mean?" Upon hearing this, Madam Fang pinched her husband and said, "If Yiai is stupid, then it's your fault as a father! Besides, the child has been getting along well with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu since he was a child, and they have been close friends for a long time. Now that things have come to this, I believe you have to admit that our son has a keen eye for talent!"
"You also have a keen eye for talent..." Although Fang Xiang admired His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu very much, he still had to tell the truth: "Madam... they are just a bunch of playboys who don't like to study and only know how to play. They have been like-minded since they were young. You really don't need to praise them..."
