Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1049
In the next period of time, although personnel transfers in Taiwan were still frequent, at least on the surface the situation returned to stability.Moreover, many ceremonies that had been originally planned were also held successively, making the previous tense killing seem like a false alarm.

More than 20 days passed quickly, and the date of Shen Zhezi's departure from the capital was also approaching.Although this time he returned to the capital, his goal was basically achieved, especially the power to inherit and grant worship, which was better than the original idea.

But it is not entirely true to say that there is no regret at all. The conflict and dispute with the center has reached a new level of intensity, and both parties have even entered the countdown period of gaining momentum.

Another thing is that the relationship with Yuanzhong has also turned bad. Shen Zhezi has almost no chance to have private contact with the emperor. When he worshiped the empress dowager, the empress dowager also lost a lot of intimacy and began to formally treat him as a Treated by a powerful vassal.

Shen Zhezi didn't care much about the changes in human feelings. In essence, he is a person who is so rational that he is ruthless.As far as he is concerned, it is just a deal to exchange for the empress dowager's trust in him in the next few years through the love of saving lives in the early years.

It is difficult for a politician to survive warmth, and it is impossible for him to always be the kind of loyal courtier expected by the empress dowager for the sake of a harmonious relationship with each other. It is an extremely naive approach to substitute personal feelings into the political trade-off game.

So regarding this, he was only slightly moved. Even without considering other factors, it was the right choice not to bring the princess back to the capital this time.The lady in his family may have been prepared to gradually drift away from her mother's family, but when the facts are really revealed, it may not be easy to accept for a while.

Taking advantage of the last few days of staying in the capital, Shen Zhezi also gave his entourage a vacation, and asked them to go home to report their safety or contact old friends.

In order to prevent Murong Ke from being bored alone in the capital, Wen Fangzhi invited Murong Ke to go with him when he returned home.Murong Ke was also curious about the people of Jiangdong Shiliu, especially Wen Qiao, a high-ranking sage who has a reputation in both the north and the south, so he quickly ordered someone to prepare a generous gift, and went home with Wen Fangzhi.

After not seeing him for more than a year, Wen Qiao looked older, and the various sequelae of the stroke became more obvious. Half of his body was completely paralyzed, and even his diet required special care.

He was lying on his side on the bamboo couch, seeing his son walking in, he reluctantly raised his finger to Wen Fang, because he was too emotional, which made his speech even more slurred, and a series of whimpers came out of his mouth, only the cloudy old eyes revealed a strong clean.

Seeing the old father's behavior, Wen Fang was filled with grief in his heart. He knelt down on the ground with a plop and walked in, choked up in his mouth, and said: "The son is really unfilial. He knows that the old father is sick at home, but he still stays in Jiangbei and won't return for a long time. Bong..."

When Wen Qiao heard this, he covered his mouth and coughed, and the second son Wen Shi, who was serving on the other side, stepped forward and gave his father back carefully.It was only when a mouthful of thick phlegm was spit into the spit pot that Wen Qiao's breathing became more relaxed. He pointed at Wen Fangzhi who was rushing forward with a smile and cursed: "Boy, are you mocking your father for being old and useless? , kissing each other and embracing each other, what's the use of leaving you, a bastard..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to slap Wen Fang on the back of the head, but after all, his strength was a little weak, and his hand was already a little difficult halfway.Seeing this, Wen Fangzhi hastily bowed his head up, but the powerful slap did not come as expected.

Wen Qiao caressed the top of his son's hair, and his eyes were rare and kind. He reluctantly embraced his son, who had grown into a physique, and sighed: "The old tree is dead, and the young branches are thriving. Your father's deeds in this life are full of praise. , how could you fall into the late festival, so the old body prevents my son from doing meritorious deeds... Come on, tell me quickly, what achievements have you made in the past these days? If you are not worthy of the silence your father suffered, the old fist will definitely No forgiveness!"

For his father's rare warmth, Wen Fangzhi was also quite flattered, and even explained to his father in detail what he had experienced in the past year or so, and introduced Murong Ke to Wen Qiao by the way.

After learning of Murong Ke's life experience, Wen Qiao showed great interest, and asked someone to lead him to the couch, and carefully asked him about many matters about the Liao land.Murong Ke also knew everything, and did not underestimate the other party because of his old age, and always maintained a completely respectful attitude.

However, although Wen Qiao was very interested, his energy was limited after all, so after listening for a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, snoring evenly.Wen Fangzhi smiled apologetically at Murong Ke, and then asked his brother Wen Shizhi to settle Murong Ke in the mansion, while he respectfully waited on his father's bed, not daring to leave for a moment.

Wen Qiao didn't sleep for a long time this time, and he turned over and woke up in less than an hour. Seeing Wen Fangzhi who had been hanging his head by his side, a trace of relief flashed across his face, signaling Wen Fangzhi to sit on the couch Coming forward, he said in a deep voice, "So, Mr. Liang intends to let you take over the affairs of Liao?"

"Although Duke Liang didn't say it clearly, it should probably be arranged in this way. My son doesn't have the ability to bow horses and bravery. Even if he has been with Duke Liang for a long time, he only has a little knowledge of strategy. The Governor's Mansion is full of talents. It is inevitable that it will be inferior..."

Wen Fang stepped forward to help his old father up, and also told some details about Mr. Liang's recent intentional guidance and teaching to him, among which there are naturally some ideas about his future.

Wen Qiao listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time, and was very pleased that his son had no lack of independent plans: "You can clearly see your own strengths and weaknesses, which shows that the past experience is not in vain. Shen Weizhou is a rare and wise choice, and he is willing to give it to you." You protect and teach, and I am relieved that you follow him to do things. But you must also remember not to think of conceit because of your family name and old family. In the future, the North and South forces will tilt, and the situation will definitely be turbulent. If you stand on your own No, I can only rely on my family's shade, no matter how deep the old relationship is, there will always be a time when it will fade away, and then how will I be at ease..."

Wen Fangzhi nodded again and again, but he hesitated to speak, and sighed after a while: "Mr. Liang has done his best for the community, and he has worked hard to maintain and forge ahead, but he still cannot be treated fairly...I, I am I am worried that there will be conflicts between the north and the south in the future. My old father is in the church, and the youngest brother is immature, and I don’t have many relatives and friends to support me. I, I want to stay at home until the situation calms down, and then go north to take up work..."

"Are you laughing at me for working hard for half my life, and I can't protect myself when I'm old? Not to mention who dares to insult me ​​in this world, even if disaster strikes, if even your father can't protect himself, what's the use of staying ?”

Hearing this, Wen Qiao's old face gradually subsided, and then his eyes became bright again, and the heroic spirit that had been exhausted for a long time filled his body again.

Wen Fangzhi hurriedly bowed his head and said he didn't dare, but after a while he couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice: "I also have a doubt in my heart and want to ask my father for advice. Now the internal and external struggles are difficult to endure. This state of affairs is really not beneficial to the society. For Jin Zuo's plan and for the livelihood of the people, Liang Gong's power is really beneficial to the future. If he loses his position due to group attacks in Taiwan, it will be embarrassing for the loyal and righteous people in the country...Father has lived through this life for a long time, I don't know Are there any good lessons learned?"

Hearing this, Wen Qiao's eyes turned sharp. He stared at his son for a while, and then smiled wryly: "Ask me this kind of question, are you embarrassing your father? Or overestimating? What kind of qualifications and talents do you have to decide on such a big matter? Even if you just make a fool of yourself with a little income, you can break free from the frame of Shen Weizhou?"

First he laughed at himself, but finally Wen Qiao couldn't bear it any longer, pointing at Wen Fangzhi and sighing: "You are nothing more than a subordinate of Duke Liang's mansion, if you conspire too much, you will lose your duty instead. Your father has worked so hard all his life, What can be left to you is just a little leeway for not having to be the first in everything. As for whether Duke Liang will succeed or fail, this is not something you should worry about at all, but you have said a lot in your words, so is there any doubt about it? When the momentum is achieved, no one can stop it..."

At the same time as Wenqiao Mansion was teaching the children, there was also a dialogue between elders and younger generations in Langya County, which was ruled by overseas Chinese outside Jiwai, but the atmosphere was far less harmonious than Wen Mansion, and it was a bit tense.

Living in the countryside for a long time, Wang Dao's aging attitude has been fully revealed, even scars have grown on the forehead and cheeks, making this old man even more haggard, only a little calm and self-preserved makes him look elegant .

"I'm really at a loss. Please teach me. I hope my family can return to the current situation and sweep away the slump. Is this intention wrong? Knowing that the Taifu is getting old, I don't dare to disturb each other. Could it be that the Taifu So blame me for asserting myself?"

Wang Yunzhi's brows were deeply frowned, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness and hostility that were about to fail.

He thinks he has calculated everything. Although he did not jump to the stage, all the actions of all parties are in his calculations. With Yu's strong intrusion, it is already difficult to maintain the stalemate between the two parties in the capital. There will be turmoil and disputes.

In the competition between all parties, the invisible shackles originally imposed on Wang's body will inevitably be loosened.Wang Yunzhi is confident that with his ability, he will be able to make a lot of money in it. Even if the family cannot be revived for a while, he will definitely be able to gain more bargaining chips and gain a more favorable position.

However, all of these turned into flowing water with the compromise between the two parties. Instead of gaining profit, Wang Yunzhi sacrificed Zhao Yin, the only person in the Wang family who could exert a little influence in Ji, in vain, especially among them. One can imagine the resentment and resentment in Wang Yunzhi's heart for the factors that Wang led out!

"Shenyou is probably blaming me for being old, incompetent, and tired?"

After Wang Dao heard the words, he smiled slightly, then raised his eyes to stare at Wang Yunzhi, and after a moment of silence, he sighed: "I would like to ask, what do you really want, Shenyou? , do you really have to wait until Liu Ya penetrates the body before regretting what you did not do? Tingmen Jiuer, can't you make Shen You a little bit more self-warning?"

"Forgive me for not agreeing with the words of the Grand Tutor. If you really follow up on the past, I will also dare to say that if it weren't for the old year's misfortune and failure to control it, how could the raccoon slaves have the power to stretch strings? Previously, they mostly used calmness and pretended to be beautiful, so that they made me feel The disease of reason has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, accumulating into a fatal danger! The Taifu may have settled down with the destiny, but I am still in my prime, so I may not have the strength to fight!"

When Wang Yunzhi spoke up to this point, his eyebrows and eyes were full of hostility, and he even lacked respect for Director Wang: "I don't expect everyone to help me, but please give me a little favor from the Taifu, and don't hold me back! Life is extremely difficult, and death is all it takes. Even if I don’t talk about old grievances and deep enmity, and whether my plan succeeds or fails, I will never tolerate the world’s morals laughing at me for being courageous!”

After finishing speaking, Wang Yunzhi walked out and told his followers: "Bring my name card and ask Zhuge Boyan again, and tell him that I want to help him resolve the Yu family's grievances."

In the room, Director Wang looked at the direction Wang Yunzhi was leaving for a long time without saying a word. Suddenly, a lantern exploded, and then the candle flame flickered. Not long after, the darkness from all around gradually engulfed the old man inside.

In previous years, he still had the ability to calmly step out of the chaos, but now his strength and ambition are all slumped, but he is trapped in this darkness and his breath is weakening, and he falls asleep in a big dream. He doesn't even know if he will be lucky enough to see the light again.
