Chapter 1108 Family affairs and state affairs
In the south city of Luoyang, inside Chunhua Square, in front of Zhu Zigao's gate, a canopy carriage was waiting, guarded by more than [-] soldiers from Kong and Wu, and the waiters had already prepared the steps for boarding the carriage.

Above the high gate hangs a gold-plated "Chai Mansion" plaque.There are not a few people with the surname Chai in the world, but in the city of Luoyang, the only one with such a noble atmosphere is the British family.

The Chai family has a very high status in the empire and is very prominent. In addition to the relationship with the Guo family, it is also because of Chai Rong's years of hard work and achievements that he is deeply trusted by the emperor.

The truth that one person attains the Tao and ascends to heaven is universal and unchangeable for all generations, and it is the same for the Chai family. Since the Huainan War, Chai Rong has become more and more powerful in the court. The more benefits you get.

Especially Chai's father Shouli, among the nobles who often live in Luoyang, Chai Shouli is the most famous person, flamboyant and flamboyant, everyone avoids him.Even if Jing Fan and Wang Yan were strong enough to stay in office, they would not dare to target Chai Shouli too much.

When Chai Rong was still surnamed Guo, Chai Shouli was quite flamboyant. Later, after Chai Rong changed back to his original surname, it was the old Mrs. Chai who was most excited.At that time, in order to celebrate this event, guests and friends were invited, and a three-day banquet was held at home.

Of course, it was also because of this life that brother-in-law Guo Wei did not become emperor, and his son Chai Rong did not inherit the throne. Generally speaking, Chai Shouli was fairly restrained and did not do anything illegal to cause trouble for his son.However, there are still many acts of wanton publicity and domineering showing off.

Everyone is holding it, everyone is respecting it, rich in clothes and good food, enjoying the glory, Chai Shouli's retirement life can be described as comfortable.

It's just that the atmosphere in front of the Chai Mansion at this time is a bit weird, and everyone can feel it.Weiji, a figure came out from the inside, hurriedly stepping over the high threshold, it was Chai Rong, his face was tense and his face was very ugly.

"Duke!" The guard followed him out, "Where are you going now?".

"Go back to Beijing!" Chai Rong ordered coldly.

Seeing Chai Rong's angry appearance, the guard couldn't help persuading him: "You travel all year round, so it's rare for you to come to Luoyang to see the old man, so why bother?"

"Go!" Chai Rong gave a short and forceful order.

"Yes!" The guard had no choice but to respond.

Stepping on the steps, as soon as the curtain was lifted, a noisy movement was heard behind.Soon, with the support of two servants, an old man with gray beard and white brocade clothes came out, and when he saw Chai Rong who had already boarded the chariot, he pointed at him and cursed: "You unfilial son, get out of here. Leave far away!"

"You are the Duke of the imperial court, you are powerful, you are powerful, and I, as a father, have to bow to you! You are an unfilial son."

"Tell me, how can there be such disobedient descendants in the world, who dare to criticize their father like this!"

"."

Chai Shouli was already very old, but when he got excited, he seemed full of energy and spit flying, but seeing his trembling appearance, the servants around him carefully supported him, for fear of falling and knocking.

On the shaft of the car, Chai Rong paused for a moment, only looked back, and then got into the car with a low body, and then gave a slightly irritated voice: "Go!"

Regarding Chai Rong's order, the guards and followers did not dare to neglect, and soon drove the carriage and left the streets of Fangli
And looking at the carriage and guards that were gradually going away, Chai Shouli finally couldn't hold back his old face, and stopped cursing, and sat down on the threshold, crying: "This unfilial son, he really left You go, don't come back when you go, we will never communicate with each other."

Seeing that Mrs. Chai was angry, angry and sad, the family members around him were so anxious that they persuaded him one after another.

"Grandpa, the Duke is only angry for a while, and he will definitely come back!"

"Don't cry, take care of yourself!"

"."

Faced with persuasion, Chai Shouli finally cried less, kicked his legs a few times, and still murmured: "You son of a bitch"

Chai Shouli was 70 years old this year, and he had just held a very grand birthday. At that time, Chai Rong was busy doing business in Gansu and had no time for others, so he missed his father's birthday.

This time, following the imperial edict to return to Beijing from the northwest, Chai Rong passed by Luoyang. Naturally, the ashamed Chai Rong wanted to go back to his residence to wish Chai Shouli a long life and express his heart.

It was a good thing in the first place, and it should be a warm scene between father and son, as it was at the beginning.However, seeing the extravagant decorations, groups of servants, and extravagant expenses in the mansion, Chai Rong couldn't get used to it.

Inevitably, he gave some pointers, and then mentioned Chai Shouli's wanton publicity behavior over the years, reminding, warning, and teaching.

Chai Shouli, the older he is, the more he cares about face. Even if his wealth and status all come from Chai Rong, he can't bear his son's teaching and accusation.

Of course, no matter how strong and powerful Chai Rong's character is, there is still no way to deal with his old father.
Driving in the car, Chai Rong also put away his angry face in front of others, with a look of exhaustion on his face, and a little sentimentality in his eyes, and finally heaved a heavy sigh.

I felt a headache and thumped my forehead. You asked Chai Rongzhi to control the general and command the army. It has always been easy, but the facts have proved that he is not omnipotent. At least in dealing with family affairs, when facing his own father, he really can't do anything. good way to come.

Why don't you say hello to the Luoyang government and ask them to help restrain it?Soon, this kind of whimsy was discarded from the mind, and Chai Rong was not so naive.

He could almost predict that if he gave such an instruction, then the Luoyang government would absolutely listen back and take more care of Chai Shouli, and this kind of behavior would become a target for others to criticize.
How could Chai Rong not have heard of the gossip in the court? When he thought about it, his mood became even worse.The Guo Chai family is so prominent, there is no one that is not envied and hated by others. Of course, there have been criticisms and criticisms in the past, but it has never been like this time, which is close to condemnation.

Thinking about what those courtiers and officials said about him, they found it ridiculous, disgusting, and scary at the same time.After so many years and always in a high position, Chai Rong has never been so vigilant and worried like this turmoil.

Just like back then, when Guo Wei took the initiative to ask for a retreat, and the father and son had a secret conversation, Chai Rong was also calm and never nervous.But this time, Chai Rong was nervous.

Thinking about his uncle Li Ye who took the lead in targeting him this time, if he remembers correctly, when he killed Zhang Jianxiong, the governor of Puzhou without authorization, it was this person who led the booing and begged the emperor to punish him.

Li Ye may not be enough to be afraid of, but Li Ye can represent Li's relatives to a certain extent, and the Queen Mother stands behind Li.After thinking about it, Chai Rong has to admit that it is really not a good thing to face someone like Li Ye.
Of course, there was only one person who made Chai Rong most suspicious, and that was the emperor.This time, the emperor did not express his views on the gossip in the court, which seemed to be an attitude.

"Hey" State affairs and family affairs made Chai Rong feel extremely disturbed. Feeling the exhaustion of body and mind, and the body showing signs of relapse, Chai Rong felt that maybe it was time for him to retire.

Suddenly, Chai Rong finally realized what his adoptive father Guo Wei was like back then.
