Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 983
When the North and South Shili gathered in Bagong Mountain outside the city, there were also some small gatherings of different scales inside and outside Shouchun City.

In an elegant and quiet courtyard in the southern city of Shouchun, Xie Shang and Yuan Dan sat opposite each other, each feeling a little bit sad in their hearts.

Seeing the radiant Xie Shang on the other side, whose demeanor was even better than before, compared with his current haggard and sickly appearance, Yuan Dan regretted his decision to go north with the team this time.If they didn't see each other, or if they could still retain some good friendship thoughts in their hearts, now that old friends meet and sit opposite each other, they don't know what to say.

Although he and Xie Shang are both in-laws and close friends, the differences in their circumstances have made it difficult for them to find the intimacy they used to feel.

The last time we met was a few years ago when Yuan Dan was about to go south to take up his post.At that time, Yuan Dan was much more energetic than he is now, and he was favored and trusted by Director Wang who was the Taibao at that time, and he would go south to Kuaiji as a vanguard to check and balance the Wu people.Xie Shang, on the other hand, was a bit downcast. He was called back to Taichung by the local government, and then he was treated coldly and idled, and he has been depressed and unsuccessful.

At that time, Yuan Dan could not help but deliberately distance himself from Xie Shang in order to avoid suspicion.Although Xie Shang was invited to get together later, the rift between this friendship was only further widened due to the different choices of each other.

Now that time has passed, the circumstances of each other have undergone great changes.It is true that Yuan Dan's political achievements in the southeast were good, but he did not create much in the most important political task of checking and balancing the Wu people.After returning to Taicheng, he had to face an embarrassing situation, that is, Director Wang who promoted him in the past has completely faded out of the current situation, leaving him with no strong support to rely on.

It's a pity that Yuan Dan didn't recognize this fact when he first returned to the capital. After returning to the capital, he didn't know how to restrain himself, which made those prodigal sons in the capital make troubles and lose face, so that even the original appointment was delayed. cash.

However, Xie Shang had a different encounter here. After he went north, he was recruited by Shen Weizhou as his arm. In terms of position, he took office as the hometown of Chen Jun. In terms of reputation, he was also known as the most elegant in the Dudu Mansion. Bear the setbacks of the early years and persevere.

Earlier in the capital, Yuan Dan was somewhat hesitant when Zhuge Teng came to invite him to go north.Although he was embarrassed for a while, he didn't want his former good friend to see his current desperation.In any case, in previous years, he was also a handsome man who was directly dispatched by the important ministers of Taifu, but now he has to be employed by many Zhuge Teng who are not as good as him, which is really unacceptable in his heart.

But he also understands that this is one of the few opportunities for him. Director Wang has completely faded out of the current situation and is getting older, and there is no hope of recovery. Will lean with him.

As for the current leaders in Taiwan, although they have more or less connections on the surface, this little acquaintance is not enough for them to make efforts to support themselves.You must know that even He Chong, who is far superior to him in terms of qualifications and reputation, can only serve as a servant and has no actual position after returning to Taiwan, let alone Yuan Dan.

Zhuge Cong's invitation this time seemed presumptuous, but in Yuan Dan's view, it was probably just a casual attempt by the forces behind him.If Yuan Dan can persuade Xie Shang to turn to Taichung, the Taichung supporters should reciprocate.But if it doesn't work, Yuan Dan will probably be marginalized for the rest of his life.

The situation in Jiangdong is different now, but the empty family has no potential to cooperate, and it will only decline day by day.But if you are in a powerful position, even if your family is not high, you will be highly respected. Wu Xingshen's family is an obvious example. Its family has only sprung up for more than ten years, but with its many achievements and great achievements, it is very popular. Obtain a reputation that is equivalent to or even surpassed by the generations or even more than ten generations of the remaining sects.

Even if Yuan Dan felt unwilling or ashamed, it was related to the decline and fall of his family, and he couldn't tolerate his willfulness. He didn't dare to miss such an opportunity, so he could only support his sick body and follow him northward.

It was because he still hesitated to see Xie Shang before, and after many days of inner struggle, he finally decided to invite Xie Shang to meet him.

Xie Shang looked at Yuan Dan who was seriously ill and even a little out of shape, and his heart was full of emotion.He is now in charge of foreign reception affairs for the next generation of the Dudu Mansion, so he naturally knew about the arrival of this brother-in-law and old friend, and he had not invited him before. I don't know what attitude I should take to face Yuan Dan.

However, when Yuan Dan took the initiative to extend the invitation, Xie Shang still pushed aside many matters and immediately pulled away to meet.

After the two met, apart from a few embarrassing blunt greetings at the beginning, they drank relatively silently.Both of them are the world's first-class smart people, even if they don't have in-depth conversations, they can figure out each other's intentions just by their demeanor and behavior.An unfeeling request, once spoken out, will make each other more distant and embarrassing.

From Yuan Dan's heart, he naturally hopes that Xie Shang can change his position and turn his heart to Taichung.Although Shen Weizhou has a great reputation, but if even the important officials in his family harbored dissatisfaction with him and advocated the return of Huainan to Taichung, he probably would not dare to persist, lest he would be betrayed by his relatives.

If this important goal can be achieved, Yuan Dan's political life as a central liaison will inevitably have a second spring, and it is even possible for Yuan Dan to be an important official stationed in Huainan in Taichung.

But it is impossible for Xie Shang to gamble the whole family because of Yuan Dan's future, and he is not enough to represent the whole family right now.

Today's Xie family in Chenjun is already dependent on the Shen family as a whole. Uncle Xie Po and Wu Xing returned to Taiwan to take the position of Jiuqing after his term of office expired. Another uncle Xie Guang is a subordinate official of Shen Sikong's sect. He has already joined the Huainan army, especially Xie Yi is the representative of the family's martial arts.

Political disputes are complicated, even if Xie Shang is willing to vote back to Taicheng, it is impossible for the Taifus to let the entire Xie family go because of him alone.What's more, Xie Shangjiu was in Huainan, and he knew more about the background of the current governor's power than the people in Jiangdong.And if he really uses swords and weapons, he will use the short to strike the long, and he will undoubtedly lose!

Moreover, working in Huainan, the broad prospects he sees are by no means comparable to the predicament in the corner of Jiangdong.How can anyone who works in Huainan give up the vibrant Huainan and settle for the lifeless Jiangdong!

Before he knew it, Dou Yu's sake was drunk, and even Xie Shang was faintly drunk.But Yuan Dan was even more drunk, and still wanted to get someone to bring him wine.

Xie Shang hurriedly waved his hand to stop him and said, "Yan Dao is still ill, so you must control your diet, even if you are generous, don't let it go."

When Yuan Dan heard this, he was a little bit surprised, looked at Xie Shang, and then said with a smile: "If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I really can't believe that Xie Renzu would say such a thing."

Hearing what Yuan Dan said, Xie Shang also laughed dumbfounded for a while, his eyes revealed the color of reminiscence, and he sighed after a while: "In the past, I didn't know sorrow, and I didn't see danger. Dare to harm the public because of selfishness. I would like to persuade Yan Yan that momentary happiness may be able to forget worries and caresses, but the difficulties of the world cannot be relieved by indulgence. If you are talented, you dare not be unrestrained, and if you are inferior, you will not avoid worries and labors, then everything will be fine. can bother."

Yuan Dan's drunkenness had come to his head at this moment, when he heard this, he just waved his hands and said disgustingly, but at the same time, he said with no lack of melancholy: "The old man has traveled far, and the old relationship will never come back. When we meet again today, I just want to get drunk and stop at the end of the day." A drunk. It's been a long time, can Ren Zu give me a drunk?"

Speaking of this, Yuan Dan was already in a state of dejection, and Xie Shang couldn't bear to refuse when he saw this, so he ordered someone to send Huainan fruit wine.After a few steamings of this fruit stuffing, the aroma of the wine will be strong, even if it is drunk, it will be less harmful to the body.

When the new wine arrived, Yuan Dan was in a state of madness. He drank when the glass was full, and even his eyes became blurred. He occasionally laughed and sang a few slang songs. period.

Xie Shang was originally a liberal person, so he was inevitably influenced by Yuan Dan, he clapped the table at the table to agree with him, and when he was so excited, he brought a musical instrument and played a song with Yuan Dan.

However, no matter how indulgent, there is always a time.After drinking so much, Yuan Dan soon became completely drunk and passed out, spilled a lot of wine on his body, and then fell asleep directly on the floor.

Xie Shang was still somewhat sober at the moment, so he asked people to bring refreshing cold water and plum soup to hangover. Seeing that Yuan Dan was already unconscious, he couldn't leave immediately, so he asked people to go back to the governor At the same time, he took back some not-so-confidential registers and letters, and stayed in the courtyard to accompany the hangover Yuan Dan while handling official business at his desk.

In the middle of the night, Xie Shang was writing at his desk, but he heard a strange noise behind him, turned his head to look, and saw Yuan Dan had got up on the couch, looking straight at him, with tears streaming down his cheeks.

Seeing this, Xie Shang raised the case, walked over and said with a smile: "Yan Dao is awake? But hungry? I'll make people..."

"I have a doubt, which has been difficult to solve for a long time. Can Renzu tell me? What kind of person is Shen Weizhou, so that Renzu, who is so refined, can be driven by him, and the papers are so hard?"

After the hangover, Yuan Dan's mind was still dizzy, and his words were less restrained: "Nostalgia, old friendship, and relatives are all alienated because of this time. Renzu asked himself, is this what the sage of Shengde did?"

After Xie Shang heard the words, he was also silent for a while, and then sighed after a while: "The governor of Dadu is as deep as the ocean, and the closer he is to him, the more he feels that he is shallow. The things accumulated in Huainan for several years Gong, people know only one or two. In this situation, everyone strives to advance, and if you are a little slack, you will be too late to catch up, so that people have no feeling of sitting idle. You may enjoy yourself while smearing, but I Living in this world, feeling sorrow and joy, it is really hard to compare myself with Chu Gui."

Yuan Dan was also silent for a long time when he heard Xie Shang's answer, and then he ordered his attendants to prepare the car.It wasn't until he boarded the car and left that he looked at Xie Shang again and said, "I also have a few youngsters in my family. I wonder if I can help them here?"

"Hundreds of rivers compete with each other. If you don't reflexively, Yan Dao has seen the sea refuse to accept it?"

Hearing Xie Shang's answer, Yuan Dan laughed again, leaned on the car and waved goodbye.Xie Shangli stood in the dark night and watched him go away, the night wind whimpered, and Yuan Dan's slightly desolate singing voice was faintly sent: "...the departed soul is always sad and joyful, and the hardships and hardships are complaining about sorrow. Huafa is getting lazy, Ju asked Yuehui about the return date..."

But the fear of death as a ghost guest made my wife runny.
