Chapter 225: Father and Son
Wang Yu took a sip and nodded again and again. He put down the teacup www.biquge.info and said with some embarrassment: "I lost my temper in front of my son yesterday, and it was really unseemly. And also...... I shouldn't have mentioned anything about umbrellas...... Pei Shizi didn't have it yesterday, didn't...... Sorry for you, right? ”
Before he finished speaking, Xuan Hui smiled and said, "Since it was yesterday, why mention it again?" General Wang has more troublesome things at the moment, and it is really not easy to be considerate of others. ”
Wang Yu saw that she was smiling brightly, but she seemed a little narrow-minded. His face was gloomy, and he said with difficulty: "Why did I come back, my current situation, Gongzi must already know." ”
He sighed, and then smiled reluctantly: "Although it is difficult, it is not impossible to resist." ”
Xuanhui looked at him embarrassed, and his eyes smiled brightly. She blinked her eyes, sandwiched a piece of white jade cake for Wang Yu, and said with a smile: "General Wang is a filial son at first glance, and he has never contradicted his father. Lord Wang is really enviable, and the son he raised can not only support the court, but also be obedient and filial. ”
Wang Yu smiled bitterly: "Don't make fun of me anymore, I was forced to retreat, so I had to let it go." ”
Xuanhui smiled: "Then, what if I say I can show you the way?" ”
Wang Yu looked up at her, and saw that her eyes were clear, and he couldn't help but add a little interest: "Please advise." ”
Xuanhui said: "You don't want to let it go. Listen to your own heart. ”

After a few days, Wang Yu saw that his father's mood had eased, and then he began to accompany him to practice swordsmanship in the morning and evening. Wang Jintang also knew that although his son was filial, he was not blind, and he had the right idea in his heart. Therefore, he no longer persecuted him, and ordered him to stay in Jinling for the New Year, intending to persuade him well.
In the early morning of this day, the father and son dismantled several sets of boxing techniques in the front yard martial arts arena, and they were all sweating hotly, and their hearts were very happy. Wang Yu accompanied his father to breakfast again, and both of them had the heart to persuade each other, so they went to the study to drink tea together.
The father and son sat around the fireplace, Wang Jintang instructed the maid to bring some washed chestnuts over, and smiled at his son: "Do you remember what happened to your mother and brother when you were a child?" ”
Wang Yu lowered his head and drank his tea, nodding lightly. When his mother and brother died, he was still young, and although he didn't remember many things, his mother's spring breeze and rain care was always in his heart, and it was a warmth that he had never experienced in his life.
Wang Jintang made a cross opening for each chestnut with a knife, and then held it with tongs and roasted it next to the charcoal fire. He smiled: "Originally, your mother liked to bake things on the charcoal pot and stove in winter, even if she didn't eat anything, she also put a few pieces of Fu orange peel to smell it." ”
"This chestnut is also her favorite food, and she often roasts it and peels it for you to eat. I said that this thing is too sweet, eat too much and be careful that you have a toothache, so she will secretly feed it to you. Once I caught me, your mother and son laughed at me so hard that I couldn't get angry......"
Wang Yu was holding a cup of tea in both hands, and there was a steaming stove beside him, but his heart was cold. He had grown to the age of twenty-six, his mother had been dead for almost twenty years, and his father had never told him about his mother's past in such a gentle manner as he did now.
Although he had never seen such an opening statement, he could guess seven or eight points if his father was behind.
Wang Yu coughed lightly and diverted the topic: "Father, when I came back a few days ago, I asked the prince for orders to continue to garrison in Kaifeng Mansion, but I was gently pushed away by the prince. He told my father that the military situation in Huguang was urgent, and told me to go back quickly. If things change, then you can also spend the New Year in Jinling with peace of mind. Father,"
He looked at Wang Jintang and said seriously, "The prince no longer needs to rely on our family, the 150,000 Liaodong troops that Pei Shizi got have made the prince like a tiger." If we still don't understand the situation, I'm afraid it will be worse in the future. ”
Wang Jintang didn't get angry when he heard this, but just took the tongs and fiddled with the red-hot carbon. "It seems that you have prepared a large number of words, so say them all, otherwise it will make you uncomfortable!"
Wang Yu calmed down, and then said: "Although the son is reckless, his father's thoughts can also be glimpsed. But the prince is not a foolish person, and it is not easy to hold him in the palm of his hand as a puppet. ”
He understood what was going on, and was willing to put down his body and invite people to buy people's hearts. Not only is Pei Shizi loyal to him, but the rest of Qin Lang, Xue Yuanhan, Lin Yingchun and others are all dragons and phoenixes. ”
"Father, my son knows that you were ostracized in the capital court back then, and you don't want to give up your authority to others, but ...... To say something rebellious, coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes unable to do things! ”
Wang Jintang looked at his son with a sneer and asked, "What else?" ”
Wang Yu thought about what Xuanhui said that day, and it is also the responsibility of children to advise parents. Under Wang Jintang's years of prestige, Wang Yu was a little timid, but he still stubbornly said: "Father, it is extremely early for us to return to the prince. At that time, the first emperor ordered his father to enter the king of Jingqin, but in the end, it was not completed, and the prince was inevitably resentful. We have relieved the siege of Xuzhou, which can be regarded as atonement. From then on, it is time to be a loyal and upright courtier. ”
"Why can't our family be a loyal and capable minister like the Guogong Mansion? A hundred-year-old clan, guarding one side, is enough to Xuanhe. Why did my father want to seize power and go to the courtier's biography? ”
There were many disrespectful words in these words, and as soon as Yu Chen said a word, Wang Yu himself was also in a cold sweat.
Wang Jintang threw the tongs on the ground with a "snap", and asked aggressively: "You have only seen the glory and wealth enjoyed by the Chengguo Mansion, have you ever calculated how much they have paid for the Liang family over the years?" How many descendants of the Pei family died on the battlefield, and Cheng Guogong who died on the battlefield alone was not one or two! ”
"You say that I take power and be a minister, don't you think I can bear to let future generations die on the battlefield one by one like the Pei family? You don't even have a daughter-in-law now, so naturally you can't think of your children and grandchildren. But you must know that if you want to be a loyal minister, you must also think about whether there are so many men in the Wang family to achieve your loyalty! If you still don't understand, think about your brother, think about how he died, and for whom he died! ”
"You look down on me to take power, I tell you now, if you don't have power in your hands, you can't do it if you want to be a virtuous minister, but you have to do it if you don't want to be a minister!"
When Wang Yu heard this, every word was like a heavy blow, hitting his heart. Since he was a child, he only knew how to practice martial arts and fight, but his scheming methods and calculating people's hearts were so bad.
Wang Jintang saw that his words had an effect, so he bent down to pick up the tongs, took out a chestnut, peeled it, and put it in the palm of his son's hand.
