Chapter 69: One Singing and One Harmony
"And then? That Wang Ziling made a fuss regardless of it? ”
He was afraid of the presence of the servants of the Yang family, and he didn't dare to say anything more. But after the servants of the Yang family leave, they naturally won't endure it anymore. accused Zixian of partiality, and sarcastically ridiculed Zimu for not being worthy, making the family miserable, and writing a letter home to accuse the two brothers of bullying him. All in all, according to his meaning, unless Zimu gave him this opportunity or simply gave it up, he would never give up. ”
"There are still such despicable and shameless villains in this world!"
Zimu was disheartened by him, so he said that he would give him the opportunity, but Zixian refuted it. Yang Qian is interested in Zimu, not Wang Ziling, how can there be a reason to change people at will? Is Mr. Zhou willing to accept any student? If this kind of thing gets out, wouldn't it be a joke? There is no need to mention the face of the Langya Wang family. Li Hui curled the corners of his lips, "This matter is settled, no matter how much Wang Ziling makes trouble, no one will pay attention to him." He went back to Shangzhou in a rage, and proudly brought a letter from their grandfather two days later. Yue Niang, guess what their grandfather said in his reply? ”
The county lord of Changning tilted his little head, and after thinking for a while, he said crisply: "It must be to accuse Wang Dalang and Wang Zimu indiscriminately." After Wang Ziling went back, he reversed right and wrong, and he definitely believed it without distinguishing between them. I can't say that I still thought that Yang Qian originally took a fancy to Wang Ziling! Sure enough, this villain deceived his superiors and subordinates, which is really shameless! ”
"No, Wang Ziling still has some self-knowledge in the end, of course it is impossible to tell such a big lie. Otherwise, as long as he seeks verification, he will have no way out. Li Hui continued, "But their grandfather thinks that Yang Qian has taken a fancy to Wang Zimu, but he has never taken a fancy to Wang Ziling, which is simply impossible. In the letter, he ordered Zixian to find a way to let Yang Qian recommend Prince Ling to apprentice, and said that the two brothers worshiped in the same division, which can be regarded as a good story. If this cannot be done, he will come to Chang'an in person and go to the Guozijian to accuse Zixian of being unfilial. ”
Hearing this, the county lord of Changning was already stunned. Du Shi, who was lying on the bed not far away, and Yan, who was sitting next to him and whispered softly, occasionally listened to a few words, and they also felt that it was unbelievable. For a while, they were not in the mood to continue to talk about those bland and boring household routines, and they all looked at Li Hui in unison.
This said: "The Langya Wang family actually has such a father who does not distinguish between right and wrong? The eccentricity is so unreasonable, this is really a strange thing in the world. Come to think of it, the prince Xian and the prince had a hard time at home, and that prince Ling must be the most favored. It's a pity that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the children who have gone through hardships can sharpen their edge, and most of the children who are overspoiled will only be embroidered pillows. ”
That one also said: "I really can't imagine that Zixian has such a father." No wonder he traveled around with an old servant at a young age. If someone in the family thinks about him and thinks about him, he will not be so lonely. San Lang, you remember that you often invite him to sit in the house, which can be regarded as supporting him, so that he will not be bullied by his family in vain. ”
Li Hui smiled bitterly: "He is my best friend, why don't I want to stand up for him?" It's just that he is a junior after all, and the son doesn't say anything about his father's faults, no matter how unreasonable the request is, he can only bear it for life. Otherwise, if the charge of unfilial piety is put on the line, he will never be able to get ahead in this life. ”
"Brother, this kind of thing is simply unreasonable. Why are parents so harsh, but children can't disobey half a point? If you can't make such a ridiculous request, you will be charged with the great crime of unfilial piety?! The county lord of Changning snorted coldly, "How can people believe the words of parents who are all in the world? If they follow such parents like this, what if they do something more unreasonable in the future? Could it be that when they kill people, their children still have to hand knives? Otherwise, it is unfilial? ”
Du Shi was originally a little relieved that his beloved daughter had become much more sensible recently, but now after listening to her slightly radical words, he couldn't help frowning and said angrily: "In the mortal world, such parents are rare, where can they be generalized?" Filial piety is indeed the supreme principle of heaven and earth, and it cannot be disobeyed or neglected. However, if the parents are unkind, the children certainly do not have to be foolish. ”
"How does it count as 'not being foolish'?" The county lord of Changning rushed to her like a fluttering butterfly, "A-Niang, give Wang Dalang an idea?" He is a close friend of my brother, but he is always bullied by this and that - outsiders bully him, and his family also bullies him, which is really pitiful to look at. ”
Li Hui also followed: "The child is incompetent, and he should really ask his uncle and aunt for an idea." In the past two days, the child has thought about it, and the only way to send a letter to the patriarch of the Shangzhou Wang clan is to send a letter. So, the child ordered his subordinates to go to Shangzhou to deliver a letter, ordering him to discipline the side branches. I don't know if after receiving this letter, the Wang clan will be able to restrain Zixian's parents well. ”
Hearing this, Yan couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't your method very appropriate?" It is better to restrain with the power of the clan than to rely on external forces. After all, they are a family, and if they don't break the law, they can be dealt with by the clan, and no one can find anything wrong. No matter what the patriarch's temper is, he will not refuse your request as the king of the county. What's more, Zixian's achievements today are indeed rare. A promising son and a father who doesn't know right from wrong, he certainly knows what to choose. ”
Li Hui sighed lightly and pretended to be worried: "It's just that Zixian is just a student of Guozijian now, and he has not yet entered the office." His father, after all, is also a county lieutenant from Jiupin-"
The county lord of Changning has always had a good relationship with his brother, and immediately said: "What if the patriarch is reluctant?" Ah Niang, is there any way to make him lose his official position and completely become a common man? Such a confused father wouldn't be a good official in the future, so what's the use of keeping him? ”
Li Hui then said: "The child has never thought of favoritism, but just wants to ask the examiner of the Ministry of Officials Wailang to see what the results of the royal father's examination are." Such a person, the child really can't believe that his exam will be upper or middle class. Moreover, after so many years, he is just a county lieutenant from the ninth grade, and he has never been promoted, so he must be either lower or lower. If so, what is he left to do? In the huge Shangzhou, can't you still elect a county lieutenant? ”
After the two finished singing and singing, Du Shi couldn't help laughing, stretched out his slender index finger, and pointed at the two cousins: "It turns out that you have already made up your mind - from the beginning, you deliberately told such a story in front of us, and after attracting the attention of the two of us, you could naturally intercede, and it seemed reasonable to make the royal father lose his official position." In the end, you just want me to take the initiative and ask Goro? ”
"Uncle and mother are recuperating, how dare you bother Uncle and Mother?" Li Hui hurriedly said, "It's just that I want to ask my uncle and aunt for an idea, if we act like this, will my uncle agree?" According to the two of them, who are now favored, they only need to mention it to the saint, and the matter can be concluded quickly. But he thought about it carefully, and it really shouldn't have alarmed his grandfather because of such a trivial matter, so he thought about giving it a try on the uncle's side.
"If it's true that you don't do well in the exams, why not?" Du Shi smiled, "Just ask." It's just a small thing, and it's just a matter of doing it. It's just a petty official from the ninth grade, where is it worth being a county king and a county lord that you have been thinking about? ”
Li Hui hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, and said seriously: "Uncle's words are extremely true-However, although this matter is small, Yu Zixian is a major matter related to the future of his life, and it must not be ignored. The child is such a close friend, of course he can't be put in danger. "It's a pity that he is still young, and he is just an idle king, even if he wants to protect his friends, he can only achieve his goal through the elders.
"What a good boy with affection and righteousness." Du's gaze instantly softened a lot, "Go ahead." You've taken care of Yue Niang for so long, and Gorou should treat you too. After that, she frowned slightly: "Your temperament is so peaceful, and I don't know where Yue Niang learned her biased views - Ah Hui, teach Yue Niang a good lesson for your uncle, don't let her change her temperament and become like a ......."
She didn't say who it was, but Yan and Li Hui both understood: "Uncle don't worry." ”
Only the county lord of Changning couldn't guess the meaning of her words, and pursed his lips and said, "Is there anything that A-Niang can't say directly?" ”
Du Shi smiled, no matter how coquettish she was, she didn't say anything more. Yan said, "Ah Hui is going to find your uncle." When we are done, we will go back to the house together. ”
So, Li Hui went to the Wanchun Hall of Taiji Palace alone to ask to see Li Kun. At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was busy dealing with government affairs, and when he heard the palace people tell him that his nephew asked to see him, he temporarily put aside the matter at hand and let him in kindly: "Ah Hui, you won't come to see me later, but what happened?" ”
It has always been easy to talk to the prince's uncle, and he can guess his intentions as long as he tells the story. Sure enough, after Li Kun heard him talk about the disturbances of the Wang family and his own worries about his friends, he smiled and said, "You are innocent children, you are so anxious because of such a trivial matter. Seeing that his nephew seemed to be a little dazed, he didn't understand the meaning of his words, and he no longer explained carefully: "Since you think it is appropriate to let the royal father lose his official position and go to work, then let the examiner Wailang check it." ”
After all, he should even call the palace people to Shangshu Province. The Ministry of Officials didn't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would pay attention to a foreign official and county lieutenant who was only from the ninth grade, so he searched and searched for many examination reports, and found out the examination results of Wang Chang, the royal father, over the years. Wai Lang, the examiner of the Ministry of Officials in charge of the foreign official examination course, took a closer look -- over the years, they have all been middle and lower, and occasionally there are a few subordinates, which can be called the mediocre among the mediocre, and it is already good to be able to be a county lieutenant all the time. But I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has planned? Could it be that this person is a celebrity who has been buried for a long time?
Not to mention what thoughts came to their minds after the officials saw Wang Chang's examination results. As soon as the uncle and nephew of Wanchun Hall saw that his examination results over the years were really unsightly, they decided his career very neatly. Hengzhu is now the time for the four-year examination, since this Wang County Lieutenant is so mediocre, there is no need to force him anymore, and another talent is selected to fill the vacancy.
After feeling a little relieved, Li Hui solemnly thanked Li Kun. He didn't know that after he left the Wanchun Palace, Li Kun suddenly summoned the palace envoy on a whim: "Go to the Guozi Prison, check the first student named Wang Zixian in it, and listen to what the people in the Guozi Prison think of him." ”
The palace envoy immediately took the order and left, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shook his head and smiled, and continued to deal with government affairs.
And Li Hui went to the Liangyi Hall again, accompanied the old grandfather, and left after listening to a few stories.
