At first, Chang Sun Chong didn't understand what this meant. He thought that His Royal Highness the King of Shu really wanted to express his feelings. When he heard the last few sentences, he finally understood what it meant.
"I can help you get your message across, but I can't guarantee the outcome. You know how terrifying the transition of power is. In the eyes of ordinary people, people like us are considered superior. We can decide what to eat, drink, and play, but we can't decide our own lives. If we have even the slightest different idea, we might end up like those people in the yard behind us."
Chang Sun Chong sighed helplessly, perhaps thinking about his own life. He originally thought that he could become a general in the army, just like General Li Jing and others. Although it was impossible for him to become the military god of the Tang Dynasty, at least he had gained a firm foothold in the army. This was indeed how Li Xiang arranged it back then.
You have to know that when this matter was arranged, Chang Sun Chong didn't think much of it. He thought that he should be a representative of civil officials like his father. However, after staying on the battlefield for a while, he found that he liked the environment of the battlefield more, so this guy had no complaints about Li Xiang's arrangement.
He had already been promoted to the battlefield, but fate played a joke on him. When you got used to the fighting on the battlefield, your younger brother also showed his prowess on the battlefield. At this time, Li Shimin could not just sit back and watch. If one family had two great generals, that was absolutely not allowed. So no matter whether you like this place or not, under Li Shimin's imperial edict, you had to quickly return to Chang'an and hand over the military power in your hands.
At that time, Li Xiang also said a lot of good things, hoping that the two brothers would develop together in the army, but in the end Li Shimin still did not agree to this matter. Even the Changsun family, whom he trusted the most, had a bottom line in Li Shimin's heart. If anyone crossed this bottom line, no one would be spared.
Li Xiang thought it was nothing at the time, but if you look at it from today's perspective, Li Xiang is very grateful to Li Shimin. The two brothers Changsun Chong both have good military talents. If they stay in the army to develop, and Changsun Wuji is good at networking, if there are any deviations in the future, it will be difficult for him to control them.
Although there are brothers in the army now, such as the Cheng Chumo brothers, Cheng Yaojin's brain is still not as good as Changsun Wuji's. In addition, Cheng Yaojin does not have much power in the court, and most of his power is in the army. Therefore, Li Xiang can tolerate those two brothers, but he definitely cannot tolerate the Changsun brothers.
"I've taken your words to heart. I can't say what the future holds, but I hope you can pass on my words now. I don't want anyone watching me every other day. I've already submitted a memorial of apology for what my son did, but the court still hasn't given me a response. Living like this every day is truly boring."
King Li Ge of Shu said somewhat helplessly that his son's conspiracy to rebel had been discovered by the men in black, and he immediately submitted a letter of apology, but Li Shimin accepted the letter and did not make any reply.
No matter whether you let him live, scream, or chop off his head directly, you have to have an attitude. If you have no attitude at all, it will be a very difficult thing for King Li Ke of Shu. Now Chang Sun Chong has come from the capital, and he is one of the people who can speak his mind. Although it is not the best choice, it is better than saying nothing.
He knew that Changsun Chong was able to have a conversation with Li Xiang. Although he also wanted to send people to the capital, he couldn't figure out the intentions of those people, so he didn't dare to send people to the capital easily. Being able to seize this opportunity of Changsun Chong was also very good. As long as Li Xiang could say a few good words for him, his current life might change, at least he wouldn't have to suffer from sleepless nights every day.
In the eyes of outsiders, His Royal Highness the King of Shu enjoys a good life every day. He stays in his own big garden, has a variety of precious delicacies every day, and beautiful women are tributed from all over the place. His life should be said to be almost like that of a god in heaven.
But there are some things that only he knows. In the current uncertain situation, no matter what you enjoy, it will be like chewing wax. Looking at those young beauties, the prince has no ideas at all. The news from the capital represents everything, including the rest of his life.
What he feared most was that he had already made adjustments, but someone in the capital brought up this matter to prevent future accidents, or to make an example of him to other royal family members and then drag him out and behead him. Don't think that such a thing will not happen. Political changes happen all the time. It depends on whether you can prevent it.
"Life will eventually get better and better. I will write a letter and send it to General Tiance's residence. As for whether it will be of any use, I can't say. You continue to live your life in Sichuan. There are always people watching you in secret. The main thing is that you have no guilty conscience. Those people can't drag you to a ghost town. As for me going to the northwest front next, I can only write a letter for you."
Chang Sun Chong said with a wry smile, and King Shu Li Ke also understood that it was not easy for someone to help him write a letter. If you are not satisfied, then the other person may quit. After all, there was no so-called relationship between them before.
Time was urgent for Chang Sun Chong, so after saying goodbye to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, he immediately mounted his warhorse. There were many troops in the northwest, and there were many wavering people among them. This time, he had to take advantage of this major inspection to get all those people out.
Looking at Changsun Chong, who had already left, if I said I wasn't envious, I'd be lying. Everyone wants to be able to ride on the battlefield, but then again, do you really think anyone can go? Although you have the qualifications to go to the battlefield, others will think you are just making trouble. If you have the slightest idea about military power, countless people will stand up immediately. Will you be able to distinguish them clearly? If you can't distinguish them, you will die.
