Chapter 51: If my uncle doesn’t support me, who will join me?

Chapter 51: If my uncle doesn’t support me, who will join me?
The public anger is hard to appease.

The subtext is that if you are not decent, we will help you to be decent.

After several generations of operation, the Changsun family has changed a lot. During the Zhenguan period, it was the most powerful foreign relative group.

No one can compare to it.

The group of in-laws naturally attracts jealousy and hatred.

They take up too much space and too many resources.

The more the relatives by marriage take, the less others will take.

They would like to drag your relatives into the water, spit out all the resources, and let everyone digest them.

This time, Chang Sun Chong was driven crazy by the stimulation, and served Chang Sun Wuji the appetizer first.

It was to test Changsun Wuji's reaction.

If you continue to be stubborn and stand against everyone.

Well.

The next step would be for the elders and clan members of the Changsun clan to come and demand accountability.

Don’t worry about how high your official position or title is, Changsun Wuji.

Does he dare to ignore the power of the clan?

Dare not ignore.

If he lost the support of his clan, he would have no clan members to rely on.

As a duke of the current dynasty, the most important relative by marriage, he only has the title of duke, but no clan members to help him.

Who still cares about him?
Who still takes him seriously.

The politics of aristocratic families is maintained by the power of the clan members.

You have no one to turn to, no one to support you.

It can be said that he can hardly take a single step in the court, and he will be brought down sooner or later.

It is said that people from the clan came to ruin Zhang Sun Wuji's plan?
If they were not forced to do so, would the clan members be dissatisfied with the clan leader?
The aristocratic families have plenty of ways to incite the Zhangsun family's people to come and question.

Today there is one big clan and you can remain indifferent, but tomorrow there will be two big clans and the day after tomorrow there will be more.

Who can sit still?

People are concerned about your Changsun family's inheritance and are willing to marry their legitimate daughter to their second son or illegitimate son.

In an era that values ​​matching family backgrounds, this behavior is no less than telling you, Changsun clan, that since you do not support the system of primogeniture, we have no choice but to take action, relying on the power of the maternal clan and supporting the second son and the illegitimate son, to fight for Changsun clan's property.

I will turn your Changsun's family upside down.

Wouldn't that be a waste of your Changsun family's sincere kindness?

Let’s all come together, take what we deserve and divide what we deserve.

The huge Changsun family might fall apart at any time and become a mere name in name only.

As the eldest son, Changsun Chong could inherit the title of Changsun Wuji, but it did not say that if the eldest son died, the second son or other sons could not do so.

"Write, Chang Sun Chong died of illness."

The struggle for power has always been cruel.

Even when the princes were fighting for the throne, the crown prince dared to frame you, let alone you, the eldest son of a duke. There are plenty of ways to make you disappear.

As long as there are huge benefits, there is nothing they would not dare to do.

Since you don't follow the rules, those of us who follow the rules will have to use unruly means to deal with you.

This is what makes you dishonorable. There are plenty of people who can help you be decent.

……

Changsun Wuji fell into silence.

He couldn't understand how he ended up in his current situation.

It's hard to get off the tiger and be caught in a dilemma.

He knew that Gao Shilian was right.

It was not the Crown Prince who instigated and provoked Chang Sun Chong from behind, but someone else who was behind it.

This is the signal.

It will only get more intense later on.

"Assisted machine, if you have any ideas, just tell me. I can analyze them with you."

Gao Shilian said earnestly: "Don't think that the Changsun clan is prosperous now, but there are many people eyeing you."

Zhang Sun Wuji sighed and said, "Uncle, you know that His Majesty has always been on guard against me."

"I am afraid that the relatives of the emperor will become too powerful and abuse their power to interfere in government affairs."

"If I express my support for the Crown Prince, firstly, the Changsun family will attract more attention, secondly, His Majesty will be even more suspicious of me, and thirdly, if I stand with the Crown Prince, our power will be so huge that it will threaten His Majesty's power. Not to mention me, even the Crown Prince will be in trouble."

"Tell me, do I dare?" "Rather than that, I might as well wait for the dust to settle."

Gao Shilian covered his head with one hand and said excitedly: "Assistant Engine, you are really confused."

"How can I be so confused?"

Changsun Wuji was confused, and Changsun Chong was also bewildered.

He suddenly felt that what Aye said was right.

The reasons are all there, and it seems that not participating is the best option.

"You only see the surface and think that His Majesty is suspicious of you. Keep a low profile and be restrained. In the future, whether Gao Ming, Qing Que, or Jiu Lang becomes emperor, you will rest assured."

Gao Shilian saw Zhangsun Wuji nodded slightly, and he shook his head repeatedly and said, "But have you ever thought about it?"

"Why doesn't His Majesty use you and give you an important position?"

Changsun Wuji frowned in thought and shook his head slightly.

In his opinion, Li Er just didn't want his relative to become too powerful.

It became so difficult to control that it posed a threat to the next emperor.

Therefore, he was only given an official position with high rank but little power.

"The art of being a king is to show favor."

Gao Shilian asked, "Your Majesty does not use you, is it because he wants the next emperor to promote you and show you favor?"

"So that you can be grateful and repay the kindness and use it for your own benefit?"

Changsun Wuji's pupils suddenly shrank.

"also."

"As the prince's uncle, you should clearly support Gao Ming. Why don't you do it?"

"Have you ever thought that your own uncle is unwilling to stand on the side of the prince."

"What will the world think? Don't they support the system of primogeniture?"

"Do not."

"The court and the public think that His Majesty is planning to depose the emperor. Even you, His Majesty's confidant and the prince's uncle, are unwilling to support Gao Ming."

"Who else will stand on Gao Ming's side?"

"You are half responsible for what Gao Ming did at the Grand Court Meeting."

Gao Shilian said: "Gao Ming can't even win you over, who else can he win over?"

"Since I can't even win over your uncle, Gao Ming can only be ruthless to you."

"Otherwise, who would want to serve him as the crown prince?"

"You, you, you."

He finally understood what Changsun Wuji was thinking.

"If it were me, I would kill him too."

"Which king can tolerate you?"

He couldn't stop shaking his head.

Changsun Wuji straightened his back instantly and woke the dreamer up with a word.

"But...but what if Your Majesty still wants to dethrone the emperor?"

He was still hesitating.

"Don't you know what your majesty is thinking?"

Gao Shilian said helplessly: "Have you ever thought that under the current circumstances, regardless of whether His Majesty deposes or not, you will be doomed before the Crown Prince."

"Do you want to be abandoned by everyone right now? Or do you want to rise and fall with the crown prince? Even if the crown prince is eventually deposed and you are implicated, will His Majesty really execute you?"

"As long as you don't die, your previous ideas can still help you make a comeback."

He said quietly, "Now that the crown prince has behaved, His Majesty wants to depose him."

"Who in the government or the public dares to come out and propose dethronement?"

"Then everyone will become the target of public criticism and become the public enemy."

"No one dares to risk the world's condemnation."

"If you still don't express your attitude."

"The target of public criticism can't be anyone else but you."

"If the prince won't let you go, His Majesty will also ask you to stand up."

"You still want to protect yourself?"

"It will only lead to self-destruction. There is no way out."
