Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2168 Mountain Chief? I don't understand!

The reason why Ma Cheng committed suicide by biting his tongue was because he knew that the matter had come to an end, and Changsun Wuji would definitely not let him go, but he said it was the matter of the third-rank prince Zhan, even if Changsun Wuji hated him again, he wouldn't be too Maybe killing him directly, that would only give others a hand, the shrewd eldest grandson Wuji would definitely not do such a thing, that is to say, Ma Cheng could have saved a small life!

However, after all, Changsun Wuji was the Minister of Rites and the elder brother of Empress Changsun. He had a lot of power in the court. He offended Changsun Wuji. Even if he could save his life, it would be difficult for him to move in the court in the future! Changsun Wuji can push him to where he is now, and he can easily pull him down. At that time, he will become the powerless scholar back then. At that time, Changsun Wuji wants to pinch him to death. Isn't it as easy as squeezing an ant to death? Even then, there is no need for Changsun Wuji to take action personally, those who want to please Changsun Wuji will take the initiative to help Changsun Wuji solve his troubles!

More importantly, after the eldest grandson Wuji "pinched" him to death, he would probably be angry with his family, which Ma Cheng didn't want to see the last time!

So instead of dying in such a tragic way, and also implicated his family, Ma Cheng felt that it would be better to commit suicide. This would save Changsun Wuji a lot of trouble. In this way, Changsun Wuji would most likely not be angry with his family again. !

"Yes! Patriarch!"

Many of the guards of the Changsun Mansion were mansion soldiers who had retired from the battlefield. They had all seen the big scene. Seeing this scene, several people were shocked at first, but they quickly calmed down and hugged Changsun Wuji. He clasped his fists, and then left Ma Cheng, whose face was covered in blood.

After a while, maids and servants came in to clean up the blood on the ground. Zhangsun Wuji was unwilling to stay here and was about to get up and leave, but at this moment, a voice came from outside: "Father, are you back? "

It was the voice of Changsun Chong!

Yanhuang Academy is currently on summer vacation. Only members of the killer project team will continue to engage in scientific research activities in the academy. The rest of the students are basically all going home. Although the level of Changsun Chong's Four Books and Five Classics is still good, he is still only a master of the four books and five classics. For a layman, whether in mathematics, physics or chemistry, his grades are not top-notch in the academy, and he has always been at the middle and lower level, so he has not been able to enter the killer project. During the summer vacation of the academy, he is naturally at home!

Hearing Changsun Chong's voice from outside, Changsun Wuji, who was about to get up and leave, sat back again. After a while, Changsun Chong walked in in a hurry. As soon as this guy came in, he saw several servants in the center of the main hall. After scrubbing the ground, he was stunned at first, but his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of a pool of blood on the ground. Changsun Chong's expression changed instantly, he looked at Changsun Wuji nervously, and asked:

"Father, what's the matter?"

Zhangsun Wuji raised his eyelids and reprimanded lightly: "What are you panicking about? It's just a dead person!"

Changsun Chong was born in a peaceful and prosperous age. At least most of his memories are after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Unlike Changsun Wuji, he completely experienced the troubled times of the end of the Sui Dynasty, so he saw blood in his main hall. Chong was still a little panicked subconsciously, but when he heard Changsun Wuji say "someone died", Changsun Chong was even more panicked. He widened his eyes, looked at Changsun Wuji and asked:

"Dead? Who's dead?"

"You all go down!"

Seeing that the blood on the ground was almost wiped off, Changsun Wuji waved at the servants and said.

"Yes! Sir!"

Several people bowed and took orders, left the main hall with cleaning tools, and closed the door.

"A damned person, Ma Cheng!"

After only their father and son were left in the house, the eldest grandson Wuji spoke.

"Ma Cheng? It's Ma Cheng who just became Prince Zhan Shi a while ago? Dad, why are you..."

As the eldest son of the Changsun Mansion, Changsun Chong still knew some things. When he heard that Changsun Wuji said that Ma Cheng was dead, Changsun Chong's heart suddenly "squeaked", and he thought to himself why his father wanted to kill Changsun Chong? Is Dad going to rebel? Then Ma Cheng found out?

Thinking of this, Changsun Chong's small face instantly turned pale!

The good days of his son of the prince have not been enough, how could his father rebel? Nowadays, the emperor's men are like clouds and strong soldiers, how unthinkable is this?

"Nizi! Ma Cheng committed suicide by biting his tongue. What are you thinking about?"

Seeing Changsun Chong's pale face and looking at him strangely, obviously thinking about something messy in his heart, Changsun Wuji instantly turned pale and cursed angrily.

"Ah? Ma Cheng committed suicide by biting his tongue?"

Hearing this, Changsun Chong was surprised and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then he asked curiously, "Dad, why did Ma Cheng bite his tongue and commit suicide?"

Zhangsun Wuji said with a gloomy expression: "This fellow colluded with An Guo merchants, intending to plot against the old man, and let the old man enter the palace to impeach the king of Shu. After the matter was exposed, he bit his tongue and committed suicide!"

Seeing that Changsun Chong was still full of doubts, Changsun Wuji told Changsun Chong what had happened this morning in general, and only halfway through, Changsun Chong exclaimed: "What? Are there Turk spies in Taiyuan City? Hijacked Qingque? What about the rest of the teachers and students in the academy? How are they doing now?"

After staying in Yanhuang Academy for a year, Changsun Chong has some feelings for the academy. Compared with his family and Chang'an City, he actually prefers to stay in the academy. The academy gives him a very special feeling. If he really wants to say, That is the feeling of "freedom". There is no strict superiority and inferiority here, and there is no complicated intrigue and power struggle.

For profit, everyone is equal. For knowledge and truth, students can even quarrel with teachers!

Under the pure learning atmosphere, the hearts of teachers and students have become more pure. He likes this simple and free atmosphere very much.

Therefore, after hearing from Changsun Wuji that Li Tai was kidnapped by Turkic spies, Changsun Chong subconsciously became nervous.

"The city of Taiyuan was closed two days ago. Your Majesty sent Li Junxian, the commander of all the cavalry, to Taiyuan to personally preside over the rescue. The information received by His Majesty did not contain any other information about the teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy, so they should be fine! "

Zhangsun Wuji gave his son a complicated look, and replied with a blank expression.

"Oh! Good luck! Good luck!"

Changsun Chong breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to himself.

Immediately, he realized that something was wrong and said, "No! I just went to the academy two days ago, and such a big thing happened. How could Mr. Wenji and Mr. Kong Gui of the academy not know about it? Dad, You're not lying to me, are you?"

Zhangsun Wuji's face turned black again, and he forcibly resisted the urge to beat the villain in front of him to death, he muttered: "This is what this old man was in the palace just now, and the sage said it himself, do you think Your Majesty will have the spare time to make up nonsense and cheat. you?"

"Uh...that shouldn't be!"

Changsun Chong scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

He knew that he was just a small person in Li Er's eyes, and Li Er naturally wouldn't be idle to make up lies and lie to him.

Zhangsun Wuji glanced at the prodigal son, and said: "Taiyuan is closed to the city, people from outside cannot enter, and it is difficult to spread the news inside. His Majesty can receive the news, it should be thanks to the telegraph invented by your academy. However, since His Majesty has not informed the ministers of this news, it means that His Majesty does not want to let the news spread, and this matter should be classified, so please don’t talk about it outside!”

Although Li Er didn't tell Changsun Wuji to keep it a secret, but with Changsun Wuji's wisdom, it is not difficult to infer this. He was just afraid that his bastard son wouldn't know the seriousness of it, so he went out and spread the news everywhere.

"Oh! I see, Dad!"

Changsun Chong nodded and replied.

As for whether he really knew or falsely knew, only God knows!

Looking at Changsun Chong who was obviously absent-minded in front of him, Changsun Wuji sighed helplessly in his heart, thinking that when he sent Changsun Chong to Yanhuang Academy, the main purpose was that he was optimistic about Li Zexuan's potential and wanted Changsun Chong to approach Li Zexuan. And release the goodwill of the eldest grandson's family to win over Li Zexuan!

However, a year has passed, and the status of Yanhuang Academy in the Tang Dynasty has become higher and higher, and Li Zexuan's official has become bigger and bigger. Now he has been awarded the land of one state and has become the prefect of one state. Moreover, Li Zexuan's eldest grandson The family's attitude has always been that of being detached, far from being as close to the Cheng family, Qin family, Yuchi family, and Niu family. It is obvious that the eldest Sun Chong did not complete the task he had given him!

Not only that, but my son of a bitch seems to have "built" himself in!

Otherwise, why was Changsun Chong nervous about the teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy in Taiyuan?

This stinky boy really regards himself as a member of Yanhuang Academy!

"...Chong'er, how is your relationship with the King of Shu in the academy?"

Suddenly, Changsun Wuji's heart moved, and he looked at Changsun Chong and asked.

"Xiao Ke... the relationship is okay, what's wrong? Dad?"

Changsun Chong didn't know why his father asked this question, he thought about it and replied.

The corner of Zhangsun Wuji's mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "What do you mean by ok? Is it intimate, or is it like a passerby?"

"Forehead……"

Changsun Chong scratched his head slightly embarrassedly, and said, "This, Dad, it's ok means it's average, Xiao Ke's position in the academy is very special, he rarely listens to lectures in the classroom on weekdays, and spends most of the time in Yanhuang. The bank, and also, the mountain chief will often tell him something alone... The way of economy is the way to manage the Yanhuang bank! So apart from the mountain chief, Xiao Ke is the most knowledgeable person in the academy in economics. I I usually attend classes in the dormitory, I don’t have many opportunities to see him, and the relationship is just average, not particularly good, but not bad either!”

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji pointed at Changsun Chong with a bit of hatred, feeling depressed.

Think of his eldest grandson, Wuji, the wise and wise I, how smart and enlightened he was. He met Li Erbuyi when he was a teenager and became a marriage partner. After Li Yuan raised his army in Jinyang, he went to serve and followed Li Er to fight in all directions. Step by step, he became a confidant. Later He also participated in the planning of the Xuanwu Gate change, which is why he has a prominent position in the court today.

But why did he give birth to such an unsatisfactory son? He leads the ministers in the court, but his son can only play an inconspicuous "passer-by character" in the academy. How can Li Ke get Li Zexuan's personal biography and take charge of Yanhuang Bank, but his son can only be honest Listening to Mr. Shuyuan in the schoolhouse according to the script?

"...When the academy starts next month, you don't have to go to school anymore!"

After a moment of silence, Zhangsun Wuji said with a "tired heart".

He felt a little bit ashamed of this man!

"Ah? Dad, why is this?"

When Zhangsun Chong heard the words, he looked confused, and then he said anxiously: "Just because I don't know Xiao Ke well, you won't let me continue to study in the academy? What kind of reason is this? No way! I still have to go to the academy!"

"Nizi! What are you doing in the academy? Are you embarrassing the old man? As the son of my eldest grandson, Wuji, his grades in the academy can only be ranked in the middle, and he is not even better than some poor children, let alone with King Wei, The King of Shu and the others are compared! This old man is wise and wise, I can't afford to lose this man!"

Hearing what Changsun Chong said, Changsun Wuji couldn't bear it any longer and roared.

Hearing this, Changsun Chong immediately called Qu: "Dad! You can't blame me for this! Qingque and Xiaoke were the first batch of students to study engineering with Shanchang. Their foundation is better than mine, and I can't compare them. Is it normal? Dad, don’t worry, I’m almost familiar with the subjects of the academy, and my grades will definitely be in the top 200 next semester, no, the top 100!”

This guy was afraid that Changsun Wuji would not let him go back to the academy to continue his studies, and set himself a goal of the top 100. As for whether he could achieve it, to be honest, Changsun Chong had no idea!

What about him, just stabilize the father first!

Changsun Chong thought to himself.

Zhangsun Wuji frowned and said nothing.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson had no choice but to continue "prescribing strong medicine" and said: "Father, the children of all families in the DPRK are basically studying in the Yanhuang Academy, and some of them are not there. They plan to be admitted to the academy next year. But you are lucky, you want to get me out, this is a real shame for you!"
