Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1771 Family Foundation
Yuan Gai Su Wen said: "In history, the Central Plains dynasty has never stopped coveting the land of Liaodong..."

Changsun Chong remained expressionless on his face, but he slandered in his heart: that is because you have always been restless and always want to take advantage of the turmoil in the Central Plains and have no time for him to take care of the land, so once the Central Plains is in peace, which ambitious emperor would not want to To destroy you completely?
Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't read minds, so he couldn't understand Changsun Chong's inner slander, so he said to himself, "Let's not say too long ago, since the Han Dynasty alone, Goguryeo has been slaughtered many times. In Jian'an, Gongsun Kang led The army went south, broke through the capital, and returned after a great victory. In the Zhengshi period, Cao Wei general Guanqiu Jian went to the east and broke through the city of Wandu. Emperor Sui Yang mobilized an army of one million and almost wiped out Goguryeo, with corpses everywhere..."

Chang Sun Chong remained silent.

According to Yuan Gai Su Wen's statement, then Liaodong is the "Ji Shihou Kingdom" established by Ji Zi, a survivor of the Shang Dynasty, who led [-] Shang Dynasty survivors to move eastward. This traitor of the "Marquis of Jishi"...

It's just that such words are not easy to bring up in front of Yuan Gai Suwen, this person is narrow-minded and must be punished, so he can't offend him, and now that he is desperate to live under someone else's fence, it's better not to get angry because of a momentary mood.

Yuan Gai Suwen opened his eyes wide and said angrily: "Cao Wei bullied me, Great Sui bullied me, and now Tang Dynasty is going to bully me too! Is it possible that I, Goguryeo, have to bear this kind of bullying for generations? It is by no means invincible in the world, Goguryeo was able to repel the Sui army and lead to its demise, and now it is still able to hold the country firmly, making the Tang army return without success!"

He ruthlessly arranged a row of tables, imposing!

Chang Sun Chong remained silent.

say what?
Saying that Yuan Gai Suwen is right, all wishes come true and everything goes well?He has a grudge against Fang Jun, His Majesty Li Er, and Princess Changle. Even though he is panicked like a bereaved dog, he has not forgotten that he is a Tang Dynasty, so it seems that he is a traitor of the Tang Dynasty and loses his identity.

Saying that Yuangai Suwen is just farting, the Tang army will surely capture Goguryeo like a broken bamboo?

That's even worse.

Even if Yuan Gai Suwen is quite dependent on him now, and hopes to use him to know more about Tang Jun's movements and the inside story of the court, but such words are spoken, it is difficult to guarantee that this man who was once angry because King Rongliu wanted to kill him Would the fierce man who killed King Rongliu and dismembered him into pieces and even refused to bury him chop him off in a whim...

Yuan Gai Suwen stared at Changsun Chong unkindly for a long while, seeing that Changsun Chong's expression was neither humble nor overbearing, he probably felt that this son from a family from Chang'an was still of great use, so he didn't get angry, restrained his anger, and directed at the old monk slightly Nodding his head, he asked: "Master Xincheng, right now the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty is heading north, intending to find our navy to defeat and annihilate them. I wonder if Master has a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

The old monk lifted the lid of the teapot at this moment, poured boiling water into it, watched the brewed tea leaves floating and sinking in the water, and said calmly: "Everything in the world has only two states, floating and sinking. Illusion, the so-called ups and downs, is just produced in the original mind, not the essence, so why bother to care about the essence that cannot be seen through, and the mystery that cannot be understood? Just let the mind follow what it wants, just let it be."

Chang Sun Chong was not only amazed, but this special mother is a "magic stick". It seems that the sentences are profound and full of charm, but in fact, when you think about them carefully, they are full of nonsense, without saying anything...

He thinks it's nonsense, others don't.

Yuan Gai Suwen narrowed his eyes slightly, chewing the words of Master Xincheng carefully, it seemed that the more he thought about it, the more profound his realm became. After a long while, he sighed: "Master is worthy of being an eminent monk who has insight into the world and profound insights! Tang Jun comes So what can be done? The Sui Dynasty was as powerful as it is now, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was also a generation of heroes with great talents. He commanded millions of troops, so he would still lose his troops and return home? As long as Goguryeo is united, the soldiers will come to block, Covered by water and earth, the city of Pyongyang remains unmoved!"

Chang Sun Chong was already unable to complain, so he concealed his disdain by drinking tea with his head down.

You clearly hid all the warships of Goguryeo in the bend of the river when you received the news that the Tang Navy was going north, and you didn't dare to fight at all.It sounds as if you are not afraid of anything...

This Yuan Gai Su Wen was unparalleled in bravery, his personal charm was second to none in Goguryeo, his private soldiers were loyal, and his temperament was tough, so he could indeed achieve a great career.It's just that this person is too headstrong and conceited, his brain seems to be a bit out of control, and he seldom adapts when things happen, he only knows "one effort will reduce ten meetings".

The Great Tang conquered Goguryeo, and it was a great fortune to meet this man as the ruler of the country. If he could not do his best, he would probably have to count on God's help...

At the same time, Chang Sun Chong also secretly had a headache, what would he do if this Goguryeo was decided by the First World War?
Is it possible that he still has to live in Japan?
*****
Under the escort of naval ships, one by one Jiangnan gentry smuggling merchant fleet sailed into the military port, and the whole Jiangnan was shaken!
Those high-ranking nobles who claimed to be the rulers of the south of the Yangtze River were all panicked and dumbfounded!
The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have been rich for many generations, but most of their wealth is in real estate such as fertile land, houses, shops, etc., losing more than one million worth of goods at once, no one feels distressed!Not to mention that the Xiao family, Wang family and other families who had been cheated by Fang Jun one after another before, almost all the funds in the family were smuggled this time, which caused the financial situation of the major families to suffer heavy losses.

And those private soldiers who died at sea really made the Jiangnan gentry feel worse, and they were in pain...

It's not that you can be called a "private soldier" just by bringing in a young man.

This not only requires rigorous and cruel drills, but also requires a lot of money to arm them. Most importantly, it takes years and years...

Upon hearing the news that the merchant fleet was ambushed and annihilated by pirates, all the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River lost their voices for a while, unable to breathe with heartache.

Golden Bamboo Garden.

In the main hall of the Xiao family mansion, the helmsmen of the major families gathered together.

Xiao Cuo and Xie Wenhua stood in the hall with their heads down, silent.

Words of condemnation are endless...

He Pingchuan, with white beard and hair, sat at the bottom with a miserable face, staring at Xiao Cuo and Xie Wenhua and angrily shouted: "It's ridiculous! There are so many people, so many boats, thousands of private soldiers and dead soldiers. In the end, people died and the boats were thrown away." , but only the two of you are left to come back?”

He couldn't help feeling distressed.

In order to take advantage of this smuggling, all the major families sent their able-bodied juniors to participate in it to go to sea together. The original idea was to increase their knowledge and experience to cultivate talents, but in the end they ruined these talents single-handedly. no return.

If it is said that the loss of money makes people feel distressed, then the destruction of private soldiers and the death of the leader of the family have really shaken the foundation of the major families!
What does the aristocratic family rely on to be superior?
Not wealth, not even rank, but talent!

Only talents who emerge in an endless stream can maintain the competitiveness of the family, occupy a favorable position above the turbulent court, and feed back the family.

Now that the best talents are gone, what's the use of leaving only tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land and thousands of mansions?

Xiao Cuo kept his mouth shut and did not refute. Since he had made an agreement with Fang Jun and the evidence was sufficient, there was no need to get angry with these old people. The more silent he is at this time, the more he can show his guilt and apology , Wait until later when this group of people are at their worst, they will come up with evidence to prove that it was Wang Qi who colluded with the pirates that led to the current ending. After the reversal, he will appear to be generous...

Xie Wenhua couldn't bear it, and the top of his head was covered with cold sweat.

His mental quality is not good, although Wang Qi was strangled to death by Xiao Cuo, but he pushed the body into the sea with his own hands, if this matter leaked out, he would be finished, Da Luo Jinxian would not be able to protect him...

The chubby Xie Chengjie, the eldest son of the Xie family, looked at his panic-stricken son, frowned slightly, and couldn't help saying: "Everyone, the dog has gone through fire and water for everyone's affairs, and now the officials of Huating Town are still waiting outside to escort him back and imprison him." Prison, the facts are not clear now, why not listen to what happened before making a conclusion?"

He Pingchuan said angrily: "What else is there to say? There are thousands of people and hundreds of boats, only these two people come back, and they must collude with pirates to frame Pao Ze and want to swallow all these goods, but Fang Jun led the navy to kill them back. Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice! Hehe, that Fang Jun is not a good guy, he must have known about our smuggling but pretended not to know it, and waited until the pirates robbed and killed him before killing him. It is really sinister and vicious to fight for the fisherman's profit!"

After saying this, the hall was silent.

Everyone has thought about this idea before, but he doesn't have the courage to say it like He Pingchuan...
