Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2963
(I wish all the students leap to the dragon gate and get titles on the gold list! As long as you manage with your heart, the road ahead will be full of flowers!)
Chai Zhewei, who was tall and straight with a handsome face, walked into the study and bowed in front of his grandson Wuji: "My nephew has met my uncle."

The two families are family friends, they meet in private, and they are even closer as uncle and nephew.

Changsun Wuji smiled warmly and said, "Nephew, you don't need to be polite, sit here."

"Thank you uncle."

Chai Zhewei agreed and sat down on a chair beside him.

A maid came in, put a teacup on the tea table beside Chai Zhewei, then bowed and left, closing the door.

Changsun Wuji raised his hand and pointed to the teacup: "Drink tea."

"Here."

Chai Zhewei picked up the teacup, gently skimmed the floating tea leaves with the lid of the cup, took a sip, then put down the teacup, sat upright, and asked with a smile: "Uncle sent someone to call my nephew, but what's the matter?" order? But please be blunt, my nephew will do my best to do it.”

Changsun Wuji also took a sip of tea, stroked his beard, and said warmly: "Just now I met His Majesty in the Dragon Palace, His Majesty talked about the Eastern Expedition, and when he wanted to set off, I asked the old man to accompany him. This is the supreme honor, and the old man is naturally happy .It’s just that before leaving Chang’an, I was worried about something and wanted to get rid of my nephew.”

Chai Zhe respectfully said: "Uncle, just give orders."

"Ah."

The eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard and sighed softly: "Back then, I had a deep friendship with your father. He was young and frivolous. He often drank and had fun all night long, and then he fell asleep on his feet. The friendship is deep. Princess Pingyang Zhao is a hero among women. This old man I admire him very much, and I am a close friend. Our two families have been friends for decades, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are family friends."

Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly talk about the friendship between the two families, Chai Zhewei also showed a look of emotion on his face, and sighed: "Who said it wasn't? It's a pity that my father and mother passed away too early, and my nephew couldn't listen to the teachings. Some tutoring is hard to become a great tool. But for so many years, my uncle has thought about the friendship with my father and mother in the past, and has cared for and supported my nephew a lot. My nephew is deeply impressed and dare not forget it. If my uncle has anything, I will leave it to my nephew. Go do it, no matter what."

The Chai family's ancestral home was Linfen, Jinzhou, not from the Guanlong lineage, but it was true that Chai Shao married Princess Pingyang, the third daughter of Emperor Gaozu, and had always had close friendships with the nobles of Guanlong.Of course, because of conflicts of interest, especially after the death of Princess Pingyang, the Chai family and the Guanlong nobles were not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface, and there were a lot of troubles in private.

However, since Chai Shaoye passed away, Changsun Wuji did take care of Chai Zhewei a lot. As for the exchange of benefits, let's not mention it...

In short, how could Chai Zhewei obediently lean on the eldest grandson Wuji, who was the "first hero of Zhenguan" all over the world?

Today, the two seem to be in the same camp, but they have their own ideas, but they can't be said to be inseparable.If Changsun Wuji had something to ask him to do, it would be reasonable.

Changsun Wuji glanced at Chai Zhewei, and stopped circling around, and said bluntly: "I only ask my nephew to save the life of my son during the period when I am following His Majesty's eastward expedition."

Chai Zhewei was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed, hesitatingly said: "Uncle's intention... Could it be that someone wants to harm your son?"

"Ha ha."

Changsun Wuji smiled, looked straight into Chai Zhewei's eyes, and slowly said: "Who knows? It's just that the old man is getting old, and his sons are dying tragically one after another. I really can't bear the piercing pain. Therefore, I am a little suspicious, just in case of accidents. People come and go in this world, and the schemer is nothing more than the word profit, and the word profit is the first word. Even brothers and sisters can turn against each other. If others want to use the old man's son's It's not impossible to fight for the benefits of the head of the project."

Chai Zhewei's face turned pale, and the eccentric attitude of this old yin man made him tremble in his heart, and he quickly said: "The Chai family and the eldest grandson's family have been friends for generations, and my uncle is the elder of my nephew, so it stands to reason that my uncle's orders should be followed correctly. But My nephew is limited in ability, how dare I take on such an important task? If someone really intends to harm the gentlemen in the family, it must be a powerful and influential person. I am afraid that my nephew has more than enough heart but not enough power. If something goes wrong, how can I see my uncle again? Please take back my uncle's order and invite someone else, please forgive my nephew for not daring to obey!"

What kind of person is Changsun Wuji?He has already cultivated a delicate heart. Although facing Fang Jun's style of "if you don't accept it, you will hate him" repeatedly, Chai Zhewei's morality is obviously not enough. You can know that he must be jealous just by looking at the twinkling eyes.

Sure enough, as I guessed...

Good thief!
Annoyed from the bottom of his heart, his face still had the look of a benevolent elder, and he sighed softly, "What are you talking about, my nephew? Now all of us chastity heroes are getting old, our energy is exhausted, we are old and weak, and there are still a few more days left." Good life? In the future, this world will belong to you. Among the younger generation, the nephew is the best, and it can be said to be outstanding. What's more, after His Majesty's personal conquest, the troops in Guanzhong were drawn in sevens and eighties, and only those stationed at Xuanwumen The left and right guards are still established, and my nephew holds the seal of the left guards and controls tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. If you still have no ability to protect my son, who else can you count on?"

Chai Zhewei was troubled, he couldn't say you went to find Fang Jun, could he?

Now that Changsun Wuji was beaten up by Fang Jun in front of the emperor in the imperial study room, rumors have already spread, and the two families may have died forever...

The only important thing is that he didn't figure out Changsun Wuji's intentions. Is this really to prevent Fang Jun from killing him suddenly while he is not in Guanzhong, cutting off the incense of the eldest grandson's family, or is he guarding against himself?

If you really care about it, what you did is not so impenetrable, but it is just because of the time of the Eastern Expedition, it is determined that no one dares to pursue it with a big fanfare, disrupting the situation in Chang'an, and making His Majesty furious...

After thinking about it carefully, he could only respond: "Since my uncle has reached this point, it would be a little disrespectful for my nephew to refuse. However, this matter is too involved, and my nephew's ability is limited, so I dare not issue a military order with my uncle to ensure that your son will be free. I can only promise you that you will do your best to deal with it."

I can't help but sigh in my heart, this old thing is really too sophisticated, I have already planned it step by step, and I just waited for the grandson's family and Fang's family to fight in the future, and they will never die, but now it seems that I have to suspend the plan , in the long run...

Alas, what a great opportunity, what a pity.

Changsun Wuji smiled half-smile, nodded and said: "As long as my nephew can think of the friendship between our two families and try my best, then there will be nothing wrong."

Chai Zhewei's heart skipped a beat, swallowed, forced a smile and said, "My nephew will just follow my orders."

Damn, this old thing doesn't know anything...

After talking about the topic, Changsun Wuji didn't catch Chai Zhewei and beat him endlessly, but changed the subject and asked, "What's happening in Youtunwei recently?"

"Fang Jun doesn't manage the military affairs of Youtunwei very much at all. Gao Kan is in the hands of Gao Kan. It is said that Gao Kan is from Bohai. His ancestors are still of the same family as Shen Guogong's family. It's just that Ding Xingwang, the great master of the Gao family in Bohai, There are too many side branches, and now they are alienated. These days, the right guards have been practicing all day long. Gao Kan is a general, well-trained and rigorous in running the army. The combat power of the right guards is constantly improving. With my left The soldiers of the Tunwei often have some conflicts, but it's just a battle of spirits, and it's not a big deal."

Changsun Wuji sighed, and said: "This Fang Jun certainly disgusts me, but I have to admit that apart from his own ability, this guy is also very good at knowing and employing people. Those who came out of his hands all these years One talent after another, Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan, Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance, Gao Kan, Pei Xingjian...all of them are talents who can stand on their own, which is really admirable."

More than admiration?Simply jealous!
The so-called power, in the final analysis, is the control of talents. Only the talents under your hands can perform excellently in their respective positions, which will help you hold power tightly in your hands.Positions are empty, money and food are dead, and only people are the ones who control all of this.

Why were the Guanlong nobles able to rise in the first place?That is, a large number of outstanding figures with both civil and military skills emerged in those years, such as Yu Wentai, Li Hu, Dugu Xin, Zhao Gui, Hou Mo, Chen Chong, Yang Zhong, Dou Luning, He Lanxiang, Wang Xiong... Which one is not a hero who stirs up the world? ?
In the same way, the reason why the Guanlong nobles are in decline today is also due to the lack of talents.
