Chapter 129
"Master Guan!"

As soon as the group of people walked to the moon gate in the backyard, Wang Kuo saw Guan Xu who was rushing towards him. He immediately lowered his posture and greeted him first.

"Master Wang." Guan Xu also had a gentle smile on his face when he heard this, and he walked quickly and said, "Master Wang, Guan has been waiting for a long time."

"Lord Guan, you are being polite!" Wang Kuo said with a slight smile! "Mr. Guan is busy with his affairs, so I don't dare to disturb you if I have nothing to do!"

"Haha, I think Mr. Wang is too polite!" Guan Xu couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he heard the words: "You and I are officials in the same dynasty, so you should walk around a lot. Mr. Wang is coming, and Guan is busy. It will become less busy."

"Master Wang, please come inside!"

"Master Guan please!"

The two made a few words of humility, and finally Guan Xu smiled heartily and took a step ahead, but he also slowed down, leading Wang Kuo by less than half a step, and he and Wang Kuo seemed to be walking side by side.

The two walked unhappily. They seemed to be chatting along the way, but they were actually testing each other. They didn't smile at each other until they were officially seated.

Although being on the pole is not a business, if the two of them really have the intention to make friends with each other, the relationship will develop, and it will naturally improve a lot.

What's more, the two just cooperated once not long ago?

So when the two sit down one after another, the key is to consciously accompany them!
Not to mention what a few people think in their hearts, but on the surface, the two have been friends for many years.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, half of a dinner party was unknowingly over, and it was only then that Guan Xu took advantage of the wine to speak.

"Master Wang, there is something about Guan, I don't know whether to say it or not!"

As soon as Guan Xu said this, Wang Kuo knew the theme was coming, and immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and said with a serious face: "Master Guan, just say it, and I will listen to you!"

"Master Wang is too polite!" Seeing Wang Kuo's serious face, Guan Xu couldn't help waving his hands, took the handkerchief sent by the servant girl and wiped the corners of his mouth, and then said slowly: "Actually, it was this morning that Chaozhong suddenly Someone sent a letter to this official, saying that this official was asked to impeach Mr. Wang, to loot with troops, to kill hundreds of officials unjustly, and to avenge private revenge, resulting in the extermination of three officials, a total of 560 six people!"

Guan Xu's voice sounded slowly, which also made Wang Kuo's eyes colder and colder, but he was not in a hurry, since Guan Xu invited him to the banquet and told himself these things, it can be seen that there is still something to say later.

Sure enough, after seeing Wang Kuo's performance, Guan Xu couldn't help but sang for him in his heart.

What a Wang Kuo, who is not very old, but has a deep energy that is difficult for ordinary people. If this is an ordinary person, how can he continue to sit there so steadily?

I'm afraid they either shouted out their grievances a long time ago, or they started murderously.

The admiration in his eyes disappeared, and Guan Xu said again: "And according to the news, there are nearly a hundred civil servants in the court, and they are just waiting to impeach Mr. Wang."

"Then I don't know how Lord Guan thinks about this matter?" Wang Kuo also stabilized his mind when he heard the words. He had expected to be retaliated against, so he took a sip of wine without haste, and asked Guan Xu .

"Your Majesty? I will tell Your Majesty the truth." Guan Xu frowned, looked at Wang Kuo's expression, and shook his head directly.
"The evidence that Jinqiao seized the tax has long been conclusive. When Mr. Wang led people to arrest him, he even led the guards who raised him to resist..."

"Haha, Mr. Guan understands righteousness deeply, and the officials admire it. In the future, if I, Wang Kuo, are useful, as long as the officials can do it, Lord Guan just asks!"

It wasn't until this time that Wang Kuo suddenly smiled loudly, and at the same time gave Guan Xu a promise that as long as he could do it, he would never refuse.

"Okay, Mr. Wang really deserves to be a cheerful person, Guan will offer you a toast, do it first!"

Gollum...

Although Guan Xu is a civil servant, he is also a military general, so his bold character is undoubtedly revealed by him. A large glass of wine is actually drunk to the brim!

Wang Kuo didn't dare to be negligent. Hearing the words, he quickly stood up from his seat, raised his head and drank!
It is also fortunate that this wine is just the most common wine, and the alcohol content is not high and it is still brewed from pure grains. If they drink the wine refined by Wang Kuo, it is guaranteed that the two of them will no longer know their relationship.

However, after this glass of wine, the atmosphere between the two became much more heated, and they began to talk loudly, from political discussions to military affairs, and from military discussions to border wars, as well as speculating on the weaknesses and battle situation of the two arms!
It has to be said that Guan Xu is still very capable to become a Confucian general. During the discussion with Guan Xu, Wang Kuo also gradually gained a preliminary understanding of the war in this world.

As the saying goes, three people must have my teacher. Although Wang Kuo didn't know much about the wars of this era, he was used to reading all kinds of books in his previous life. Fewer suggestions that catch his eye.

But it is worth mentioning that although the key has always been with you, due to the limitations of the times, even if a few people drank the wine happily and happily, the key has always abided by the etiquette and rarely participated in the two parties. The topic of people is just quietly drinking and watching them.

In the middle of the moon, Wang Kuo also bid farewell drunkenly!

"Father, why did you envoy this king..."

"You want to ask, why do you think of him so differently as a father, and you even hesitate to lower your status?"

Guan Xu guessed his son's question before he finished speaking, but he didn't blame Keyan for not seeing through his behavior. Instead, he saw him staring at the distant night sky with deep eyes, and his voice softly rang in Keyan's ear.

"Jian'er, do you know how much you have paid for your father from the first rank scholar to his current position? And do you know why your majesty will make big things into small things when they commit crimes from aristocratic families? Did you make small things into small things?"

Guan Xu's deep eyes looked at the night sky, and gradually became blurred. He also recalled in his mind how that high-spirited young man made it to his current position step by step with difficulty.

"I studied hard for my father since I was a child. When I was 16 years old, I was a Jinshi in high school and ranked first in the top two. But when it comes to allocating official positions, my father is only a county magistrate in a small poor place!"

"In the past three years, under my father's governance, that small county town has changed from having enough food to live and work in peace and contentment... But no matter how good your writing skills are, no matter how good your abilities are, sometimes you can't beat someone pushing you behind your back." Bundle!"

"If it weren't for the good luck of being a father, I met your mother when I was 20 years old, and later had the help of your mother's family. Do you think that being a father would come out of that small county?"

"But your grandfather is your grandfather after all, not our Guan family. If our Guan family wants to be strong, we must learn to seize every opportunity. Only in this way, our Guan family will become a member of the powerful family in the future!"

It was the first time Guan Xu showed his ambition in front of his son, and it was not until this moment that Guan Xu showed his raging ambition.

Although the big officials in the borderlands are good, they don't know that the real center of power is still in the golden palace in that square inch. They don't know that a generation of big officials in the borderlands seem to be at ease, but life and death are at the whim of your majesty!
If you don't become a family, you will not be as confident as the people of the family!

Doesn't he, Guan Xu, not want to be in the imperial court or the cabinet?

He thought, he thought too much, he dreamed about it, but he was just an outsider in the end, even if his wife's family was strong, but when he really had the opportunity to arrange someone, he would still consider his own family!

Guan Xu clearly knows that the difference between a powerful family and an ordinary minister is the background!

For example, Guan Xu, although he is a great official in the frontier, can wait for him to retire and return to his hometown, or after his death.

So what should the Guan family do?What if there are political enemies who want to deal with his descendants?
But the family members are different, because the officials of the entire Tianming Dynasty, the family members account for [-]%.

Just like Wang Kuo, although many members of the Jin family were killed, and a third-rank official like Kim Jong-ah was captured among them, it was enough to hurt the Jin family, but it was only hurt.

Because of the absence of Kim Jong-ah, there are other high-ranking officials in the Kim family. Even if His Majesty has restricted the imperial examination selection of the aristocratic families, it can't stand the policy of taking advantage of the loopholes under the countermeasures.

Guan Xu's words gave the key a great shock, but the doubts in his heart still couldn't disappear, and he asked cautiously until he saw that his father had recovered a lot.

"But father, do you really think so highly of Commander Wang?"

"No, it's not optimistic, but an opportunity!" Guan Xu shook his head and explained.

"This Wang Kuo achieved the position of commander of Jinyiwei at a young age. It can be seen that he is a holy family member. If we make friends with such a character, the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages!"

"Besides, being a father is just a self-defeating status. We had a drink with him and told him some gossip, but in truth, we didn't pay any price..."

"As for whether to be completely tied to him, the father will see if he can escape this disaster."

"For a father, a son and a daughter, your sister is still young and cannot be an official in the court, so you are all the hope of being a father. This year I am a father in my fifties. I only hope that in my lifetime, you can help you rank Chaotang!"

Wang Kuo didn't know about the conversation between the father and son, and he didn't care, because everyone was actually betting, and so was Wang Kuo.

After going back to sleep soundly, the next morning he had another wave of morning exercises refreshed, and then Wang Kuo leisurely ate breakfast under the service of his three daughters.

At this time, Wang Kuo also received news from the capital, knowing that the Jin family had begun to attack him. During the early court, he bombarded him and listed his three major crimes, 21 minor crimes, a total of [-] charges.

The lightest of them is going home to farm, and the heaviest is the crime of punishing the nine clans.

However, Wang Kuo didn't care about this, he still lived a very comfortable life and was in a good mood, but his body was a little tired, so Wang Kuo specifically asked for some nourishing food to be added to his daily meal, such as... …Chinese chives!
As life went on, Wang Kuo would also receive news from various places every day, some from the capital, some from Jinyuan County, and some from Zhang Shaojun and Feng Yong from Dongshan Province. In short, he was busy with his affairs.

It wasn't until the sixth day that an imperial decree came suddenly, which disrupted Wang Kuo's current life, and he patted his ass and prepared to return to Beijing.
