Chapter 31: Ring the Alarm Bell
"Yuan'er, it's so cold outside, aren't you afraid of freezing when you stand in the snow? Come in and eat antique soup! At this time, Guo Zhengyu walked out of the hall and beckoned to Guo Zhiyuan lovingly. For this gentleman who once disappointed him, Guo Zhengyu is now indescribably grateful. In the past few days, Emperor Wanli, who has always disliked himself with his upright nature, rarely showed a smile to himself, praised himself very much, and said that he gave birth to a good son. (Note: Antique soup, that is, the ancient name of hot pot, is named because of the "coodong" sound made by feeding into boiling water.) )
And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Chen Ju, the factory father, also frequently showed favor to themselves, and they did not hide their appreciation for Guo Zhiyuan in their words, and what made him even more proud was that Shen Yiyi and Qian Menggao, who had always been at odds with him, actually took a detour when they saw him! Today's Guo Zhengyu feels that there is light on his face wherever he goes, and this light is undoubtedly won by his son! How this did not make Guo Zhengyu ecstatic.
In the hall, Guo Zhengyu, several aunts, housekeeper Guo Jingzhong and Wang Xituan sat around the round table, Guo Jingzhong and others refused to sit at the table, saying that it was a broken rule, how could there be a servant and the master sitting at the same table, Guo Zhiyuan simply pulled them up, saying that my father has been in prison for a few days, if it weren't for your help, the family would have been in chaos, and you will be our relatives from now on, there are not so many rules. Guo Jingzhong and Wang Xi sat on half of their buttocks cautiously, but the emotion on their faces could be seen by everyone.
Guo Zhengyu nodded secretly, it seems that his son has really grown up, and he knows how to win people's hearts. As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and now Guo Zhengyu's face is grinning all day long, and his muscles are almost stiff with laughter. Guo Jingzhong has followed him for decades, even when he was named on the gold list, he has never seen him so happy, looking at this warm scene of father and son's filial piety, Guo Jingzhong's old tears came down.
However, Wang Xizhi looked at the tumbling mutton in the hot pot in a daze, his saliva was about to fall, and he rubbed his hands and said: "Young master, the sauce is ready, the meat is also ready, the hungry worm in my stomach has already growled, you can move the chopsticks!" ”。
Looking at Wang Xi's gluttonous statue, everyone laughed, Guo Zhengyu waved his hand and laughed: "Okay! Let's move our chopsticks! This period of time has been hard for everyone, and there will be blessings after the catastrophe, and in the future, our Guo family will be like this antique soup, prosperous! ……”。
After dinner, Wang Xi went to clean up, Guo Zhengyu put away his smile and said to Guo Zhiyuan: "Yuan'er, you come with me!" ”。
Guo Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, in the memory remaining in his mind, Guo Zhengyu never let himself enter his study, for Guo Zhengyu, the study is a place to talk about big things, and seeing that Guo Zhengyu's face was a little dignified, Guo Zhiyuan's relaxed nerves tensed again, could it be that something big happened again? !
When he came to the study, Guo Zhengyu pointed to the chair next to the bookcase and asked Guo Zhiyuan to sit down, glanced at him with satisfaction, and sighed: "Yuan'er, in the past, my father and I never talked to you about the affairs of the DPRK and China. Second, I don't want you to get involved in complicated politics. In the struggle to govern, one wrong step may lead to a catastrophe! But after the change of the demon book case, Yuan'er, you are impressive to your father! Daddy was able to settle his grievances this time, all of which depended on you from afar, not surprised, witty and decisive, and the saint also admired you, even Shen Ge Lao mentioned to me several times that he wanted to meet my horse, haha! ……”。
Speaking of this, Guo Zhengyu couldn't help but snort a few times, and continued to sigh: "I didn't want you to be an official, the danger of officialdom is really fiercer than a tiger!" But from this point of view, you are actually quite talented in the way of officials, Daddy, I have been immersed in officialdom for decades, but when it comes to scheming, I am afraid it is not as good as you, now the Holy God has given you a nine-grade official body, you are destined to embark on this official career, it seems that this is all God's will, since it is God's will, Daddy naturally wants to be born and cultivated in you. Daddy is finally old, and whether my Guo family can shine in the future depends on you! ……”。
Feeling the strong licking of the calf in the cheap father's words, Guo Zhiyuan felt that his heart was melting little by little, in fact, after this demon book case, he had slowly integrated into this era, slowly integrated into this family, and really regarded Guo Zhengyu as his father, and hurriedly said: "Dad, don't say that, Dad, you are in your prime, how can you talk about old age." The child is not good, he should be worried about his father, there are children here, I will not let outsiders bully my Guo family has no one! ……”。
Guo Zhengyu nodded with satisfaction, suddenly changed his tone, and said sharply: "Yuan'er, for the way of officials, the first thing is official morality, his body is not ordered, although his body is not right, although he does not obey orders." The officials are not afraid of my strictness, but of my honesty; The people do not obey me, but obey my father; If an official can't be honest and honest, even if he gains power for a while, he will not escape infamy through the ages! If you can't be honest and honest, don't call outsiders my son Guo Zhengyu! ……”。
Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly said awe-inspiringly: "Daddy, the child has written it down, and the child will not dare to forget the teachings of the father!" ……”。
Guo Zhengyu nodded with satisfaction, touched the beard on his chin, and said in a slow tone: "Second, for the way of officials, you must not take risks, Haoran righteousness is the king's way, this time you are desperate to save your father, although it is expedient, but the military is dangerous, the conspiracy is tricky, it will be difficult to last long, but you can't do it again, you have to remember!" ……”。
Guo Zhiyuan's cold sweat came down, he took a risk this time, not only rescued his father, but also made Shen Zhengyi, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, disgraced, and inevitably felt a little proud in his heart, but now that he thinks about it carefully, as long as any link goes wrong in the middle, he is afraid that he will die, and Wanli, Shen Yi and others must have also seen the flaw, but they only succeeded by luck by seizing the general trend of history. Cheap dad, this alarm bell is ringing well! If you get carried away and think that you have the advantage of traversing, you can play with a cunning officialdom like Shen Cheng in the palm of your hand, but I don't know how to die if I die in the end.
Guo Zhengyu looked at Guo Zhiyuan's expression, and knew that he really listened to his own beating, and continued: "You don't need to be arrogant, with your current age, it is not easy to have such insight and courage, you are already destined to embark on this official career, this officialdom, Daddy wants to let you know, and if you can help the foil, you will also help one or two, there is one thing now, you need to help Dad in detail......
Guo Zhiyuan knew that Guo Zhengyu was about to get to the point, so he hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Daddy, it's okay for you to say everything." ”
