(Thank you for your support, I'm lazy today, I'm sorry to update late!)

Pei Ding and several brothers have returned to Hedong, and the reason why everyone is idle is that they are waiting for Pei Xian to come back.

Although no one said it, the Pei family knew it well: it was related to Hedong Pei's decision-making, except for Pei Guang, no one could lack Pei Xian.

All because, Pei is good at scheming, and Pei Guang is good at decisive.

At this moment, in the Pei family's spacious East Preface Hall, it is almost full of Pei family's children, which can be described as a full hall.

The East Preface Hall sits north to south, and in the middle of the north wall is the plaque of "East Preface Hall", under which there is a quaint mountain and river map, and there are big seals on both sides:

Chongwen and martial arts

Live up to the east of the river

In front of the couplet, there is a sandalwood chair, on which is the patriarch Pei Guang.

From Pei Guang down, sitting on the left and right sides are the children of the Pei family, including Bei Pei and Nan Pei, sitting according to their generations, and in order of four generations.

Pei Qian, who was expressionless, sat at the back. The people sitting behind him were about thirty years old - these were Pei Qian's nephews.

Looking further ahead, the old man sitting on the left is Pei Xian.

Pei Xian, the word is ancient, and the word is in the world. He is Pei Guang's second brother, and among the seven Pei Guang brothers, he is the only one who came back to Hedong this time.

Compared with Pei Guang's shy jade appearance, Pei Xian's appearance is slightly mediocre, with only a pair of slightly raised phoenix eyes, with obvious Pei family logos.

Many people have heard Pei Chaogu's name, not because he has any great ability, but because he ...... He married an amazing wife.

About Pei Chaogu eating soft rice to the world's famous things. I'll talk about that later. For the Pei family, Pei Xian can sit on the left side of the East Preface Hall, of course, not because of his ability to eat soft rice.

In fact. The three generations of the Pei family can still maintain their prestige today, which is inseparable from Pei Xian's planning.

The children of the Pei family are scattered in the Ten Ways of the Great Propaganda, where everyone goes and what they do, this is the result of Pei Guang and Pei Xian's careful decision.

According to Pei Guang's words, the children of the Pei family can not go out, but they can't forget the ancestral teachings of the Pei family.

The Pei family is a family of prime ministers, and the righteous heart is self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world; live up to the east of the river".

With the passage of time, the children of the Pei family automatically and consciously replaced Hedong with the world. Don't ask them why they are replaced, they don't know.

Every year, the children of the Pei family get together. It is in the East Preface Hall, most of the time it is to clarify the will of the ancestors and follow the admonitions of the ancestors, that is, to recite the ancestral precepts or something.

Today, Pei Guang gathered so many children, of course, not just to let everyone memorize the ancestral teachings. Rather, there are important things to announce.

This thing. He had discussed it carefully with Pei Xian and Pei Ding in the secret room last night, and finally made a decision.

When Pei Guang is not smiling, he has powerful coercion skills on his body. When his phoenix eyes swept over the people in the hall, everyone couldn't help but bow their heads slightly.

Patriarch, isn't it just for respect?

After a moment of silence, Pei Guang spoke: "Let everyone come to the East Preface Hall today, there is something to announce. The children of the clan have been dead for three generations, this is the rule of the ancestors. However. The way of all benefits is to walk with the times. So I declared. The children of the Pei family can go out next year to follow the ancestral teachings and live up to Hedong. ”

As soon as his words fell, almost everyone froze, and there was hardly any sound in the already quiet East Preface Hall.

The way of benefit, walking with the times, they know what it means.

In order to follow the ancestral teachings and live up to Hedong, they also heard these very clearly.

However, when the children of the Pei family can appear next year, they really don't have the slightest defense!

They originally thought that the patriarch summoned everyone to the East Preface Hall to let everyone report what they had recently gained, as they had done in the past, and then remind everyone to uphold sincerity and remember the ancestral teachings of the Pei family.

I never thought that I would hear the words that allowed me to go out.

- I'm really confused!

Since the Pei family is not a scholar to the present, it has been more than 40 years for three generations, even if these children learn to govern the country from the sage book, but they know from a very young age that they will not become officials, and these statecraft policies are not needed.

After all, in the books they read, there is also "the loss of the position of the scholars, and the loss of the country of the princes of Judah." "That's it. Why, then, did they learn?

When they were young, they were puzzled: since they are not going to be officials, why do they have to learn these things?

However, in the face of their incomprehension, the attitude of the Pei family is usually like this: If you are told to learn, why do you have so many questions? If you don't learn, go to the main hall!

So, these Pei family disciples learned with doubts, in order not to go to the main hall, they also studied quite seriously, and most of them learned it.

It was not until they were older that they realized that learning these things from an early age was not useless, but on the contrary, it was very useful.

There is no way to govern the country, and in the same way, there is no way to serve the country. These sages are the policy of the state, and they do not have to be in official positions to be used.

As the children of the Pei family traveled around the world, they understood this truth better. Going out of office and seeking an official position is a way to serve the country and the people; not being out of office does not mean that you can't do so.

Decades have passed, and they have become accustomed to the way of not being a leader, and suddenly hearing the patriarch say that they can be a leader, they can't come back to their senses for a long time.

Out of office, as an official in the court, changed the rules of the Pei family for decades?

In this regard, they did not even feel too happy, but more shocked and entangled.

Is it better to be a good person or not to be a good person? They have to think about this question quietly.

Pei Guang looked at everyone's reactions, and his heart became heavier and heavier. The most difficult thing in the world lies in the word "change".

Everyone knows that it is best to change yourself and adapt to the times. The same is true of the rules and systems of one country and one family, and from ancient times to the present, there is no eternal system of rules and regulations.

It's just that every change is full of countless hardships and dangers, and I don't know how many people need to make efforts and even sacrifices.

For Pei Guang, the most difficult thing is not to decide whether to be a member or not to be a leader, but the most difficult thing is what should the children do in front of the office?

Out of the office is not only a change in the Pei family, but also a great impact on the Pei family. If it fails, it could lead to catastrophe.

In order to cope with these shocks, Pei Guang recalled Pei Xian and Pei Shen to discuss more methods.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were difficult to calm down, Pei Guang continued: "I announced this matter now, not to let everyone become an official tomorrow. Just give everyone one more choice. What road to go in the future, you can go back and raise the pillow and think slowly. ”

Next year, there are still many months, if you still can't figure it out next year, you can continue to think about it the year after next. Pei Guang said he could afford to wait.

It is the night moon and the hidden stars, and the black magpie in the Pei family's bird garden surrounds the trees three times, for many Pei family children, this must be a sleepless night.

The wind rises and falls, and the world does not know. (To be continued.) )
