Lou Xiaowu drooped her head, "The general used to be very good to me, but he hasn't been very happy to deal with me lately, and I'm very depressed." ”

An Jiu looked at her with satisfaction, "You made the right decision. ”

"What?" Lou Xiaowu looked at her confusedly.

"I mean, there's no one more enlightening than I am." An Jiu said confidently, "Obviously, your choice is wise. ”

Lou Xiaowu said happily, "Yes, yes." ”

The two of them found a place with the sun and sat down, and Lou Xiaowu began to babble with An Jiu about General Ling's recent changes.

"He didn't seem happy at all after clearing his name." Lou Xiaowu thought about it all the way on the way here, but never figured it out.

After listening to this, An Jiu said, "This is very simple, although he has cleared his grievances now, his family members have all died unjustly." The black hand who killed his family is the current emperor's son, and he still has to work for the emperor now, and no one will be happy if this matter rests on him. ”

"Family feud." Lou Xiaowu was thorough at one point, nodded, and was more convinced of An Jiu in his heart, "I understand this, but why did he treat me well before and treat me badly now?" This has nothing to do with family feuds, right? ”

"This ......," Yasuhisa thought carefully, "because he used to be boring, but now he is not boring." ”

Lou Xiaowu glared at the apricot kernel, "He actually thinks so!" ”

An Jiu stared at her, "Why are you angry?" After all, he has been kind to you, you have to be grateful, no one has to be good to you. ”

"What do you mean...... It makes sense, but I'm still angry? Lou Xiaowu tilted her head and asked, "What if Uncle Chu treats you badly in the future?" Will you be angry? ”

An Jiu was silent and asked, "Why is he treating me badly?" ”

"Oh, you mean I deserve to be disliked?" Lou Xiaowu said angrily, "I'm obviously still so smart!" ”

"If he treats me badly." When An Jiu thought of this possibility, his heart ached, "I'll die with him, or I'll start not treating me well." Since it's good to me, you can't say that you dislike it. ”

"You're right, I'll die with him!" Lou Xiaowu got up and rushed out.

An Jiu looked up at the old pear tree in the yard with his hand, and fell into thinking: Will Chu Dingjiang really dislike me one day? I don't have anything good except to take advantage of Mei Jiudian and look good...... Well, it seems that this is really possible!

Someone suddenly fell into an unprecedented sense of crisis, and the matter of improving personal charm was imminent.

Bloody came over, saw An Jiu standing in a daze, and asked. "An Jiu, are you still going to Zhending Mansion?"

"Go." An Jiu retracted his thoughts.

Bianjing, the Imperial Palace.

The cabinet was busy, so Hua Jaefu approved a stack of folds and put them in the corner of the table, and picked up another one.

I quickly read the content, and the pen hung on the paper for a long time, and finally did not make a reply, and put it aside.

Submissions from the local government are first approved by the cabinet ministers. The cabinet ministers first wrote down their opinions on the excerpts, and then showed them to the emperor for review, and if there were no comments, they would be the final measures, and there were some excerpts that the cabinet ministers could not directly approve. It will be submitted directly to the Imperial Court.

Hua Zaifu's excerpt without approval was played by Wu Lingyuan, mixed in a stack of Hejian Mansion, which was not very eye-catching.

It was not too much for Hexi County to ask for a self-defense army of 2,000 people in the city, and the Great Song Dynasty had always been redundant. There are tens of thousands at every turn, and two thousand people are really a trivial matter, but Wu Lingyuan is Hua Rongtian's protégé. He didn't deal with it directly in order to avoid suspicion, lest the emperor think that their family was going to do something on the frontier.

Fortunately, this piece of music fell into his hands, and if it is seen by people who disagree with the government, I am afraid that it will either be dismissed immediately or there will be another lawsuit.

When all the ministers deal with today's affairs, the internal supervisor will exchange the handling excerpts, ensure that every cabinet elder has a reply, if there is no opinion, write a signature on the back to second, if there is an opinion, stay in the middle to discuss, come up with a unified opinion and then deal with it again, if you can't make up your mind, or have to make a decision by the emperor.

After noon, all the cabinet elders gathered in one place to discuss matters.

Half an hour before the discussion, Hua Zaifu quietly mixed the excerpts from Hexi County.

Due to the heavy workload of the day, all the times when I saw it thought that I had missed it, or that it had just been my turn.

A pavilion elder turned over this fold and wondered, "Hexi County wants to build a private army?" ”

Hua Jaefu didn't seem to have seen it at all, frowned and asked, "How many people's private army?" ”

"Two thousand." The elder replied.

Everyone present knew that the newly appointed county magistrate of Hexi County had something to do with Hua's, but just because there were only 2,000 people, Hua's intentions could not be suspected.

The room was quiet, and everyone had read the song.

"Leave it to the Holy Lord's ruling." Hua Jae Fu said.

The rest have no opinion.

If Wu Lingyuan didn't have an unusual relationship with Hua, the cabinet would be able to handle this small matter, but at the moment, it would be difficult to interfere, and if it was not good to offend Hua Shoufu, he would have to provoke the saint to complain, after all, border defense is the top priority. Another reason why the elders of the pavilion did not speak out lightly was that the content of Wu Lingyuan's excerpt was shocking, and there were more than 400 households in the entire Hexi County, and the number of men, women, and children combined was less than 3,000, not even counting the lower counties, and as for the self-defense army, even if the number of women was accepted, I am afraid that it would not be able to make up 2,000 people.

In the south, there are generally about 6,000 households in Wangxian County, and even in Xia County, there are nearly 1,000 households.

After the deliberations were over, some subordinate officials submitted all the folds to the general assembly, and the cabinet was able to relax for a moment.

Hua Jae-fu made a pot of tea with his own hands, opened the window, and sat on a round chair to admire the green plantain outside.

It was just past noon, and the sky was overcast.

After a while, the raindrops fell on the plantain leaves, making a deep and shallow sound, and the sultry air seemed to have a touch of coolness.

After drinking a cup of tea, Hua Jae-fu sat back down in front of the desk and continued to be busy.

It wasn't until it was dark that he looked up and got up to go out.

Seeing that he was a little surprised, the inner supervisor hurriedly took the umbrella and opened it, "Zaifu, are you going back so early today?" ”

Hua Jaefu smiled, "Go home and see your little grandson." ”

With that, he took the umbrella and left on his own.

He walked slowly and passed through a palace gate. happened to meet Hua Rongtian who came out of the Privy Council.

"Father." Hua Rong Tian walked over quickly.

Hwajae assists the jaw head.

The father and son waited in silence for the carriage to come, as if there was only the sound of rain in the world.

"Rong Tian, I'm old." Hua Jaefu said suddenly.

Hua Rongtian looked sideways at his father. Hua Jaefu is nearly fifty, and he used to be properly maintained, and he still looks like he is still in the prime of life, but in recent years, he has become more and more old.

"You've got to work hard." Hua Jaefu looked at him, "Hua will hand it over to you in the future." ”

Hua Rong Tian understood that the Holy Lord would not allow the father and son to control the cabinet. When the saint was still the prince, Hua Rongtian had been secretly supporting him, and now he has won the sacred heart, and his official position is not much. But it's all about being responsible. If the cabinet is reorganized, Hua Rongtian is undoubtedly a strong contender for the next first assistant, and now he has not even entered the cabinet because Hua Jaefu is still there.

Hua Rong Tian knew that he was thinking of returning to old age, "The Holy Lord now relies on his father very much, why do you ......?"

"The court is short of manpower, and it can be used for the father, and the saint will not abandon it." But in the end, he is not a confidant, and there are many estrangements.

The second half of the sentence Hua Jaefu did not speak. He leaned over and whispered, "You're not the same as your father. ”

No matter how capable the old ministers of the previous dynasty were, they were not as good as the old people they were used to when they were the princes, not to mention that the emperor didn't think that Hua Rong Tian's ability was worse than Hua Zaifu. At best, it's just a little bit of experience. When the first emperor was still the crown prince, Hua Zaifu was already by his side, so he has always been relied on by the first emperor, but the first emperor was suspicious. In addition, Fahrenheit's power is really worrying, so it is gradually discredited. But even so, until the death of the first emperor. He is still steadily doing the first assistant.

Hua Zaifu has seen clearly that he only has one chance to touch that kind of peak in his life, but Fahrenheit is different, Fahrenheit still has Hua Rongtian.

Now is the time when the country is in crisis, if Hua Rong Tian can seize this opportunity and firmly occupy a place in the Sacred Heart, even if he is still young now, he can only be squeezed into the cabinet, and he will not worry about not being able to sit in the position above ten thousand people under that one person in the future, on the contrary, if Hua Zaifu has been blocking the cabinet and not vacating the place, when everyone is following one after another, Hua Rong Tian is limited by his position and can help the saint to do limited, and the advantage of the "old man" will be weakened.

You only have one such chance.

The carriage came, and Hua Rong Tian helped Hua Zaifu to get into the car.

The heavy rain was pouring in the twilight, just like Hua Jaefu's mood now. Sometimes it's a pain to see too clearly, for example, if he can't see his situation clearly, he can stubbornly stay in the court and fight for another twenty years, but unfortunately now he has seen the end before he moves. What's even more sad is that the body has come to this, and the heart is still not dead.

Hua Zaifu is full of unwillingness, the first emperor is incompetent, a large part of his mind is used to deal with the first emperor, the real ambition has not yet been realized, but the stage that belongs to him has actually ended, for the family, for the son, Zhishi is the best way out.

He couldn't help but wonder, what would have happened if he had chosen to support the second prince in the first place?

The answer is impossible, even if there are ten chances to do it again, he will still choose neutrality, because if he stands in line, it is equivalent to the whole family standing in line, and if he wants to rely on this method to protect the entire family, he will eventually fight chickens and eggs, and the huge force that the first emperor wants to eradicate, how can the new emperor tolerate it?

can only use the hands of the first emperor to put Hua to death, and then rely on Hua Rong Tian's support for the second prince to reborn Hua Shi.

It's not a question of discernment, it's that he's never had a choice.

Family, sometimes it is a step to the sky, and sometimes, it is a heavy burden like a mountain.

So be it! Instead of being unwilling to die and struggling, it is better to go home and raise your grandson, leave all your unfulfilled ambitions to your grandchildren, and maybe one day in the future, you will finally succeed.

In the rain, the sound of wheels pressing against the stone slab rumbled, mixed with Hua Jaefu's indistinct voice, "Let's have more children." ”

"My son will work hard." Hua Rongtian said in a deep voice. (To be continued......)

PS: In the second half of Hua Zaifu's affairs, everyone may feel bored when they look at it, but the sleeve paper feels interesting, and there is a way to comic in comics, but it can't be funny in the whole book, and there are reliable people like Hua Zaifu and Hua Rongtian, after all, the sleeve paper is also a serious person.
