Today's court meeting ended very early, and before noon, Liu Zhigu returned home.

"Isn't there a Minglan poetry meeting in the mansion today? How can it be so quiet. ”

Liu Zhigu walked at home, surrounded by desertion, with doubts, and asked the housekeeper on the side.

The housekeeper said: "Master, Miss was frightened by wild dogs last night, and she had a splitting headache, and she couldn't get up today, so the noon banquet was canceled, and those young ladies played for more than an hour and left separately." ”

Liu Zhigu asked, "How is Lan'er now?" ”

"The eldest prince went to the imperial hospital and invited the imperial doctor to treat the young lady, and now he has taken the medicine, and there is no major problem, and he can be cured in a few days."

Liu Zhigu nodded and walked towards his daughter's residence.

Liu Zhigu has more than ten wives and concubines, but only two sons and two daughters, and they are all born to his wife's original wife, Liu Bishen is his eldest son, and he was once a famous gentleman in the capital, and his father Liu Zhigu's relationship is very tense, Liu Zhigu also hates iron and steel, there is no way to take this son, three years ago, Liu Zhigu's wife was seriously ill, and before he died, he repeatedly told Liu Bishen to let him be a good man and do things, although Liu Bishen was a bastard, and his relationship with his father was not good, but he was extremely filial to his mother, in the face of his mother's last words, Liu Bishen cried and agreed, and since thenIn this regard, Liu Zhigu was very happy, and the relationship with his son slowly improved, and he sought a future for his son in the shadow of his own door, in recent years, Liu Bishen has performed extremely well, and has been appreciated by Zhao Zhi, and now at the age of twenty-five or sixteen, he is to do the position of a general, and among the children of major families, it is already very good.

"Father, you're back."

Two young people came in a hurry, one was Liu Bishen, and the other was Liu Zhigu's second son, Liu Yanhao, who had just turned twenty this year.

Liu Zhigu's two sons, Liu Bishen is not like him at all, and Liu Yanhao is very similar, handsome and extraordinary, he is very talented, but he is a little arrogant, he was promoted at the age of sixteen, but in the end, he fell off the list, and the next two imperial examinations are still like this, they are all stuck in the lifting of people.

Liu Zhigu glanced at the two of them, and finally looked at Liu Bishen, and said with a smile: "How will today's poems be?" ”

Liu Zhigu is now more and more satisfied with Liu Bishen, in the two years of experience in the inspection institute, Liu Bishen is quite sophisticated, he sees some things very thoroughly, and knows that he is in the inspection institute, which is a transition, so he has not been impatient, low-key life, high-profile work, for the group of people left by Li Xun, he did not crack down and squeeze out, but took the initiative to get close, the big guy is a group of harmony, Liu Bishen's methods of doing things are not as impulsive and fierce as Li Xun, but it can be regarded as impartial law enforcement, and the rules and regulations of the inspection court have been improved. The security of the capital has been greatly improved, and it has been appreciated by many people, and after Zhao Zhi knew this, he also looked at Liu Bihui a few times, and immediately entrusted him with an important task and transferred him to the forbidden army on duty.

Liu Bi shook his head and said: "The forbidden army suddenly had something, I went there temporarily, and when I came back, the poetry meeting had ended, and everyone had left." ”

As soon as Liu Bishen's words fell, Liu Yanhao on the side interjected: "Father, don't you know that there is a rude person named Li Xun today.....

Liu Yanhao was present and told the story from beginning to end.

After listening, Liu Zhigu was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person fell into contemplation.

"Father, this Li Xun is too rude, who does he think he is? Even if Concubine Li supports him, can he ...... in someone else's house?"

Liu Yanhao was very angry, obviously very dissatisfied with Li Xun's actions today.

"Shut up."

Liu Zhigu interrupted Liu Yanhao's complaint and scolded: "What qualifications do you have to say about others? Even if he Li Xun is unbearable, he dares to hold a weapon and fight with the enemy on the battlefield, what about you? High is not low, all day long, have you ever been a little self-motivated? ”

"Li Xun cut the table in our house, is that it?"

Liu Yanhao was not convinced, and he wanted to argue, but Liu Bishen hurriedly pulled him, shook his head slightly, and signaled him not to say any more.

Liu Zhigu sighed, he was obsessed with his career in his early years, but he neglected the education of his children, so that the personalities of the four children are quite weird, the second son Liu Yanhao is arrogant by nature, his eyes are above the top, he has no ability and achievements, but he is not used to it, and he can't look down on it, Liu Zhigu knows that if it goes on like this, in the end, Liu Yanhao is likely to achieve nothing and become a waste, the two daughters, the character is also the kind of taciturn, not good at people, after the eldest daughter married the You family, there have been several contradictions.

Fortunately, the eldest son Liu Bihui has changed a lot in recent years and is getting better and better, which is the only thing Liu Zhigu feels happy about in family affairs.

Liu Zhigu didn't want to talk nonsense with Liu Yanhao, so he said coldly: "You play around all day long, and you don't read books, I'm afraid it's very difficult to be admitted to the Jinshi, after this year, you will go to Lingnan, I will find a small official for you, go and practice." ”

Liu Yanhao's face changed greatly, how did he finally get involved in himself when he talked about other people's affairs?

"Father, the child doesn't want to go that far."

"If you don't want to be an official, then go back to your hometown, don't embarrass me here."

Liu Zhigu said indifferently and walked away.

Liu Yanhao's face became pale, he couldn't say a word, go back to his hometown?

Wealthy clans, back to their hometowns, there are only two kinds of people, one is to retire from the officialdom and return to the roots, and the other is to be driven back to their hometown, the former is glorious, and the latter is very humiliating.

Liu Yanhao looked at his eldest brother Liu Bishen for help: "Big brother, how can I go to the wild land of Lingnan?" ”

Liu Bishen patted his brother's shoulder and comforted: "Don't think about it so seriously, you are also twenty years old, and it is also a good thing to go to the local area to experience experience." ”

Like the Liu family, it is not difficult for their children to be officials, such as Liu Yanhao, although he was not admitted to the Jinshi, but his status as a person is already qualified to be an official, but the starting point is much worse than that of the Jinshi, and if there is no one to help, you have to wait in line, this kind of time may be a lifetime, but Liu Yanhao's father Liu Zhigu is the prime minister of the dynasty, which is not a problem.

Liu Zhigu went to visit his daughter, and then returned to his study, where he met his brother Liu Jiu.

"Second brother, are you waiting for me?"

Liu Jiu nodded: "Li Xun has been here today." ”

"I already know."

Liu Jiu asked: "At today's court meeting, did you talk about Li Xun?" ”

"We talked about it, but some people came out to support Li Xun, but the strength was not enough, and the emperor finally forked the topic, and Li Xun's matter has not yet been decided."

Liu Jiu smiled lightly: "King Qi has finally made a move. ”

"It's a bit complicated, let's go in and talk about it."

Liu Zhigu shook his head and walked towards the study. 2k reading web
