Chapter 72 Fang Chen is ranked third
"By God's blessing, the sage has issued an edict: Princess Pingyang's adopted son Fang Chen has made great contributions to the rescue, and is specially granted the third-class title, Uncle Qin!"
Gu Zhi's first meritorious deed was to save him, so Li Shimin not only bestowed upon him the highest title that could be given at present, but the title of earl was a bit strange, and the imperial edict did not indicate where his fiefdom was located.
Is it just empty talk and no fiefdom?
Fang Chen, who had just regained his mobility, was extremely "excited" after hearing the news and acted like a madman all day long.
Queen Changsun kindly stayed in the palace to take care of him, but after hearing his muttering, she immediately caught him and beat him.
"I can't leave anymore. I still want to see the world outside. I don't want to stay in Chang'an..."
"Damn brat, Chang'an won't let you see you like this?"
Hating that iron could not become steel, she pinched Fang Chen's already swollen ears. Queen Changsun thought that the child was already willing to stay, but to her surprise, she was still so determined.
Fang Chen put his hands under his ears, fearing that they would be twisted off at the next moment. As for the pain? He was already numb!
"Mother, don't I just want to go out and have a look? It's not like I won't come back. You... why are you doing this?"
"Hmph, you think so! His Majesty has given you a knighthood. From today on, you are Uncle Qin of the Tang Dynasty. It is time to shoulder your responsibilities as a knight!"
"Uncle Qin? Madam, I really don't understand. He is the uncle of the founding county. How come he doesn't even have the word for the county in my place?"
Logically speaking, the county magistrate is the one with the right position. He has nobility and land, and can marry several more concubines.
Empress Changsun let go of Fang Chen's ear and sighed: "My son, if it weren't for the ministers' obstruction, how could His Majesty grant you a third-class Uncle Chu? Don't worry, I and Your Majesty will compensate you in the future!"
"Empress, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you?"
"It's okay. I'm going to see Yu Zhang. You must not run around in this palace."
When his back was turned, Changsun Wugou's expression changed, "Today, when the court decided to award Yu'er a reward, half of the courtiers jumped out. He is only a mere county prince. What should I do if my son is restored to the throne?"
Li Shimin originally planned to grant Fang Chen the title of Duke of the County, but unfortunately failed, so he became the third-class Qin Bo.
But what the minister didn't expect was that the Uncle Qin Li Shimin mentioned was not the founding county uncle of the Tang Dynasty.
In the Han Dynasty, there were people who were granted the title of Jiuzhou Bo, who could be called Bo. Sun Quan, the leader of Soochow, once denied the title of Duke of the Northern Wei Dynasty and took the title of Jiuzhou Bo, which means the Lord of Jiuzhou!
Qin, the first unified country among the great powers of the Warring States Period, was Li Shimin's early title. In his mind, it was impossible for the next generation to have the title of King of Qin again, but the appearance of Fang Chen made him hesitate.
"I just hope that the brothers will never do anything like Xuanwu Sect again."
From the moment the title of Uncle Qin was decided, Fang Chen was already designated as the next generation King of Qin by Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou.
Kunning Palace rescued him with bravery and strategy. A young man raised a knife and hundreds of people died. Although it is a bit exaggerated, Fang Chen killed at least two or thirty rebels that day, which shows that he is quite capable.
During a night chat in the palace, Li Shimin smiled bitterly at his eldest grandson Wugao and said: "The one who is most similar to me is Yu'er! But the one who is most unlike me is also Yu'er!"
No one knew that Fang Chen's forehead was covered in cold sweat late at night.
Because of Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou, he broke his code of conduct for many years, thus promoting the fusion of his personality.
But it is not so easy to merge personalities with each other. All the memories from the past will be displayed in front of him one by one, forcing him to accept them and review his mood at that time.
Sadness, despair, helplessness, cold-bloodedness, murder...
Fang Chen must control his emotions. If he fails to control his emotions during this period of time, the consequences will be extremely serious.
In fact, there is another saying that it is best to do as you please, kill when you need to kill, and get angry when you need to.
But Fang Chen does not have this condition at the moment. Now that he is in the palace, who do you want to kill?
If you are not surrounded by emperors and queens, you are also princes and princesses. Who do you want to vent your anger on?
He clenched his teeth, the veins on his body were prominent, his eyes were wide open, and he was hissing and breathing heavily.
Fang Chen was worried that he would make a sound, so he directly pressed the back of his hand with his teeth, "Zi!"
He didn't notice that his uncontrollable anger dissipated a lot after he bit the back of his hand and spurted out blood in threads.
The scene, like a nightmare, caused Fang Chen to suffer. Fortunately, it came and went as quickly as it came, and Fang Chen completely recovered after half an hour.
"Damn PTSD!"
PTSD also has a name called "Post-War Traumatic Syndrome".
This disease often occurs in soldiers after the war. As a mercenary, Fang Chen was not spared and received this "honor".
Later, a psychiatrist used subconscious hypnosis to help him isolate a superficial personality.
The reason why Fang Chen sought out a psychiatrist was because when that child killed a vulnerable child with his own hands, he was filled with a struggle that was so severe that he could no longer continue his mercenary mission.
Their boss immediately contacted a well-known psychiatrist in country M.
"Damn it Vesta, didn't you fucking guarantee that there won't be any problems in the future? I've been working for you for so many years in vain, and this is what you said it's okay?"
Vesta...is the name of their leader, and also Fang Chen's original BOSS.
In the midst of sleepiness, it was dawn, and Fang Chen himself didn't know if he had slept last night. A group of palace maids were screaming like crazy in the morning, and he couldn't sleep well even if he wanted to.
"Your Highness is injured, go and tell the empress!"
"Your Highness, who bit you? That bitch dared to be so cruel. I will tear her into pieces!"
"Your Highness..."
My head was buried in the quilt. I just thought about not making a sound last night, but I forgot about it.
Queen Changsun came quickly and ran directly to Fang Chen, holding Fang Chen's bitten left hand in her arms and observing it carefully.
"Let me check, which cheap servant dared to hurt me, Yu'er!"
Fang Chen didn't dare to speak because he had been holding it in all night, and if he spoke now, the problem would be even greater.
How could a person who was fine yesterday end up with injured hands and mute speech after one night?
"Yu'er? Yu'er? What's wrong with you?"
Fang Chen shook his head, but still didn't open his mouth.
"Yu'er! Why don't you speak?"
"Mother...mother..."
"Hiss~" As soon as she spoke, Empress Changsun took a breath of air. It was so low and hoarse that it made people think she was a farmer in her thirties or forties.
"Yu'er! How could you become like this?"
"I had a dream last night. I was hungry and bit it myself. As for my throat...it must be the period of voice change, right?"
What he said made even him feel guilty. Facing Queen Changsun's suspicious gaze, he really didn't dare to tell the truth.
If every time someone kills someone in the future, there will be a personality fusion, then Fang Chen will be in too much trouble.
