Chapter 50: Show your attitude to the East Palace
study.
Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian sat opposite each other.
Chang Sun Chong stood aside angrily, still feeling resentful.
Gao Shilian looked at the tea served and asked with some surprise, "Prince's tea, the auxiliary machine is also included?"
"Was it sent by the prince?"
Zhang Sun Wuji was a little embarrassed, "It was given to me by His Majesty."
Gao Shilian nodded, took a sip, looked bitter, picked up the spittoon and spit it out, saying, "Why is the taste so different from the Prince's Tea?"
This made Changsun Wuji feel ashamed. He hesitated and said, "Your Majesty ordered the palace to make it."
“The taste is somewhat different from Prince Tea.”
He has also drunk authentic Prince Tea.
There is a world of difference in taste, it is totally not on the same level.
But this was given by His Majesty, how could he refuse it?
The reason why he took it out to entertain Gao Shilian was that he had nothing else, what else could he do?
Gao Shilian shook his head. "If you ask me, it's not necessary for you and the prince to get into this kind of trouble."
"After all, you are his uncle."
"My mother is my uncle, how can the prince not acknowledge her?"
"I don't dislike your tea, I just don't want to drink it at all."
Chang Sunchong said, "Father is just too smooth. What's wrong with supporting Gao Ming?"
"Shut up!"
Changsun Wuji was very troubled and he had not made a decision yet.
Dalang has been instigated by the prince to rebel.
"Your Majesty asked me how to educate my son, and I said that I didn't teach my son well either."
Chang Sun Wuji sighed and said, "I didn't expect that my words would come true."
"Tell me, why did you attack Dalang?"
Gao Shilian asked.
Only then did Changsun Wuji speak frankly and explain the whole story in general.
"Tell me, could I not have done it at that time?"
"This is a blatant slander of the royal family."
Zhang Sun Wuji said: "To put it in a serious way, it is a capital crime. To put it in a less serious way, Dalang's words are irresponsible and nonsense, and his title and honor should also be stripped."
Gao Shilian said solemnly, "The news must be sealed immediately and must not be spread outside the palace."
He immediately lectured Chang Sun Chong, saying, "You, Da Lang, can you say anything?"
"Your father is always cautious and low-key. He does not advise His Majesty on matters that His Majesty does not ask about, and does not interfere in matters that His Majesty has not ordered."
"I just want to protect myself and not get in the way."
"If your father gets to the emperor's ears about your misbehavior, how can he be safe?"
Chang Sun Chong lowered his head and said, "I also know that I made a mistake."
"But what I said is true."
"My father is trying to protect himself. He's fine, but what about me? I feel bad about the outside world talking about me, and I also feel uneasy inside."
"Uncle, I believe in Aye, and I also believe in my many brothers. I have no other thoughts, but who can say that there won't be someone fanning the flames?"
Gao Shilian nodded. People's hearts are hidden. What he fears most is not his own people, but someone taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. He said, "Assistant, I came here today because I heard that Alang was being bullied outside, and I thought something might happen."
"There must be someone who is fanning the flames around Dalang, no matter how big the trouble is."
Zhang Sun Wuji said: "The Crown Prince is very dissatisfied with me, and some people took the opportunity to stir up trouble."
Gao Shilian remained silent. This was obvious.
Everyone could see what was happening in the grand court meeting.
What did you do to make the prince unhappy? How can I let you off easy?
"I just didn't expect the prince's methods to be so clever."
Gao Shilian then said, "You can trap people without making any noise."
"To be honest, I am also involved in this."
"Nowadays..."
Chang Sun Wuji frowned and asked, "How did my uncle get trapped?"
"How should I know? I only realized it late, and by the time I reacted, I had already fallen into the trap." Gao Shilian's suffering was the same as Xiao Yu's.
I went to the East Palace to discuss matters once, which marked the beginning of the process, and there have been countless such visits since then.
For some things, there is only zero times and countless times.
He couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.
"Uncle, do you think that the Eastern Palace is behind the Dalang incident?"
Chang Sun Wuji asked: "Is the purpose to force me to make peace with the Eastern Palace?"
"Not really. The prince has no foundation. Most of them are your majesty's people. He can't hide this from others."
Gao Shilian said: "Can the prince persuade those students to do such a thing?"
"It seems that those people want to make fun of my Changsun family."
In this way, Changsun Wuji has confirmed his guess.
The prince openly criticized him and pushed him to the opposite side of the system of primogeniture inheritance.
He doesn't need to do it himself, as there are many forces who want to see him, the biggest relative by marriage, make a fool of himself.
"Da Lang didn't even know he was being used."
"You can't blame Dalang for this. It's normal for Dalang to have concerns."
"I don't have that intention."
"You said there is no, right? Your Majesty has no intention of deposing the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince still had no choice but to go into battle bare-chested, taking a huge risk, to step on the King of Wei."
Gao Shilian asked, "Why do you think the prince is anxious?"
Changsun Wuji was speechless.
Gao Shilian continued, "You can't see through a person's mind, only his attitude can be seen."
"Seeing your attitude makes me feel at ease."
"If you regret it, they will have something to say about it."
He turned to Chang Sun Chong and said, "Da Lang, you should go out less these days."
"Heal the wound on your face first. If someone sees you, there will be rumors."
"By the way, what happened today must be kept secret and kept in mind."
After Chang Sun Chong calmed down, he realized how impulsive his words were and nodded repeatedly.
"Don't worry, Dalang. Aye has no such thoughts. This is a matter between the prince and me."
Chang Sun Chong did not comment or respond, and it was obvious that he was still angry.
It can also be said to be a concern.
Gao Shilian said: "Assistant, it's time for you to show your attitude."
"I just said that."
"I mean to go to the East Palace and make my position clear to the Crown Prince."
Hear the words.
Changsun Wuji was silent, he didn't want to go.
because.
When he went to the East Palace, he was bowing his head, which meant that Zhangsun Wuji had personally stepped forward to clearly support the prince.
He doesn't want to do this.
Compared to just standing by and watching, the risk of getting involved is too great.
As a veteran fox, he really couldn't accept being forced to lose his composure by the prince.
"You, how can you be so blinded by one leaf?"
"Still making plans?"
"If you don't give the world an explanation for this matter, you will become the target of public criticism without the East Palace taking any action."
Gao Shilian advised: "It's not what you say at home that counts outside."
"Today it's Dalang who's causing trouble, tomorrow it's the clan that's going to bring an army to punish him, and the day after tomorrow it might be the whole world that's going to denounce him."
"One wave after another, getting more and more violent, can you handle it?"
"When the time comes and His Majesty is forced to intervene to calm the situation, how will you cope?"
"It's right for you to cherish your body, but you also need to understand what it means to be angry with the public."
