At the end of the fourth year of Yonghe, the weather was even colder than last year. Especially after heavy snowfall, the temperature drops sharply. For the poor people, even if they are in the south, it is still difficult. However, for the children of the family of Jiangzuo (another name for the Eastern Jin Dynasty), this is a rare time to travel together and enjoy the snow.

As Jiangzuo's leading celebrity, in this season of excellent snow scenes, Wang Xi's second master should go out with friends at this time, or recite poems, or copy and write, or talk about high theories. In fact, Wang Erye has already made an appointment with his friends Xie An, Sun Sui and others to go outside the city to enjoy the plum blossoms. But the head of the family had no choice but to call, so Wang Erye had to temporarily cancel the party plan.

The head of the Langya Wang family is named Wang Hui. is the uncle of the second master. I'm already in my sixties this year. Wang Hui doesn't seem to have inherited the excellent genes of Langya Wang, and he looks very ordinary. And the dress is also very simple and simple. Throw him down the street, if you look at it from a distance, it's definitely an ordinary old man who can't be more ordinary. But if you get close to him, you will find that he exudes a different kind of nobility, as well as the smell of blood.

Wang Hui is the general Wang Dun, the younger brother of Prime Minister Wang Dao. is also the cousin of Wang Kuang, the father of Wang Erye. He made great contributions to the prosperity of the Langya Wang clan. Second Master Wang respects him very much.

When Second Master Wang came in, Wang Hui was wiping a horse lance. This horse lance was specially ordered by Wang Hui when he was young with a large amount of money from the famous craftsman at that time. It took five years to complete. To this day, the iron is still sharpened silently, and it is unusually sharp. It is a rare weapon to kill. Wang Hui once carried this horse lance into battle to kill the enemy. He has made countless contributions to the Langya Wang family. However, it is a pity that Wang Hui has not yet found a suitable inheritor for this horse lance.

"Nephew Xizhi greets uncle!" Second Master Wang bowed respectfully.

Wang Hui didn't seem to notice the arrival of Second Master Wang, and still wiped the horse lance unhurriedly. The Langya Wang clan is very strict with the etiquette of his children. Wang Hui didn't speak, and Second Master Wang could only keep kneeling and worshipping.

After half a moment, Wang Hui seemed to have finished wiping the horse's lance. Looking at the glittering lance, Wang Hui nodded in satisfaction. said to the second master Wang: "Get up!" Find a seat and sit casually. ”

"No!" Second Master Wang saluted again.

After moving his legs a little, Wang Erye found a seat closest to the Wang Hui and sat down.

"Yi Shao, it's been more than forty years since our Langya Wang Nandu came to Jianye!" After Wang Hui put the horse lance on the stand on the side, he asked Wang Erye.

"Yes! Uncle. Second Master Wang replied respectfully.

"Time flies! In the blink of an eye, more than 40 years have passed. I think back then, the old man was just a hench who liked to follow Brother Dun and just reached the crown, and Yi Shao was just a toddler waiting to be fed. Unexpectedly, in an instant, the young man who had just won the crown became an old man who was about to die, and the young child who was waiting to be fed became a famous celebrity in Jiangzuo. And Brother Dun, they are also gone. Wang Hui said with some sadness.

"The Si people have gone, uncle, please don't grieve!" Seeing this, Second Master Wang hurriedly said comfortingly.

"The old man didn't feel sad for Brother Dun. Brother Dun, they have already gone. But they have contributed their life's work to the prosperity of my Langya Wang clan. The old man will not grieve for them, but will only be proud of them. Wang Hui puffed up his chest and said proudly. It was in the hands of their generation that the Langya Wang clan reached its most glorious peak.

"Then uncle, what are you sentimental?" After listening to Wang Hui's words, Second Master Wang asked with some doubts.

"The old man is worried about the future of my Langya Wang family." Wang Hui said worriedly.

"Future?" Second Master Wang's mind was a little confused, and he didn't know what Wang was talking about.

However, Wang Hui ignored him and said to himself: "The reason why I, the Langya Wang family, can become the first family of Jiangzuo. It can form a situation of 'king and horse, share the world' during the period of Brother Dun and Brother Dao. It's not about calligraphy and painting. It is more than 100,000 elites in the hands of Brother Dun. At that time, the elder brother was able to become the ruling and the general leader of the government. It is precisely because of the support of more than 100,000 elites. ”

"But look at what the descendants of our Langya Wang clan are doing now? Let's not talk about the children of other clans. Let's talk about your Wang Yishao's precious sons first. Da Lang is addicted to Buddhist scriptures, Erlang is obsessed with Wudoumi Taoism, San Lang is young and frivolous, who is not good at learning, but he learns Ruan Ji (a famous madman in the Wei and Jin dynasties). The rest of the young ones are not to be discussed. Did the three of them get down to business? Now the younger generation of our Langya Wang clan is not even in the army, and there are not even a few who are in politics. If this goes on for a long time, will my Langya Wang clan not decay? ”

"Xizhi's godson is not strict, and I hope that my uncle will forgive his sins!" Looking at Wang Hui, who hated iron but not steel, Wang Erye immediately lowered his head and asked for sin. Although at this time, he was a little dissatisfied with Wang Hui's statement.

"There is no need to be guilty. The current situation of the Langya Wang clan cannot be changed overnight! The old man came to you today because he had an important matter to tell you. Wang Hui said helplessly.

"Something important?" Second Master Wang was a little curious, and continued to Wang Hui: "Please make it clear to your uncle!" ”

"After Yin Yuanyuan took office as the assassin of Yangzhou, he plans to promote you as the general of the Right Army! The letter of appointment will be issued in the near future, so the old man will inform you in advance. Wang Hui said expressionlessly.

"General of the Right Army?" Second Master Wang exclaimed. Then Second Master Wang asked curiously, "Uncle, don't we need to abide by that agreement?" ”

More than 20 years ago, after the failure of Wang Dun's rebellion (Wang Dun died of illness). Although the Langya Wang family was not implicated by Wang Dun. But as a price, the Langya Wang clan reached an agreement with the Jin family and the major clans. That is, in the future, the Langya Wang clan will not be allowed to hold military power. And now Wang Xizhi is about to become the general of the Right Army, which is obviously a violation of the agreement.

"Agreements? Amusing! As long as the benefits are enough, the agreement can be torn up at any time! Wang Hui stood up and said disdainfully.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Hui patted Wang Erye's shoulder vigorously and said, "Don't worry! The old man has already taken care of it for you! The royal family and the great clans will not embarrass you. Well done! This is the only military power that my Langya Wang clan has obtained in the recent past! ”

"But uncle, I have no experience in leading troops, and I can't lead troops, what can I do?" Wang Erye said hesitantly. This is not that Wang Erye is modest, Wang Erye really has not learned the art of war. He doesn't even know what the general of the Right Army is now.

"The old man understands! The old man has already arranged for Xiu Ling (i.e., Wang Huzhi) to help you. Wang Hui seemed to have thought of this a long time ago, and said confidently.

"Thank you, uncle!" Second Master Wang said after bowing. To be honest, although Second Master Wang really didn't want to be the general of the Right Army. But he couldn't refuse the clan's decision. Who made him a descendant of the Langya Wang family, and he is also a descendant of the lineage.

Looking at the somewhat reluctant Second Master Wang, Wang Hui couldn't help frowning, and said solemnly to Second Master Wang: "Remember! Yi Shao. No matter how great the fame is, it can't match the sword soldiers. No matter how strong the private soldiers are, they still can't get on the stage. Only by obtaining enough military power can you better protect the clan! Yi Shao, you don't want to have another Su Jun rebellion! ”

"No!" Second Master Wang replied seriously. The Su Jun Rebellion occurred shortly after the Wangdun Rebellion, when the Langya Wang clan had just lost their military power. Su Jun's rebellion was a nightmare in the heart of the Langya Wang. Wang Erye, who personally experienced that time, really didn't want to come back a second time.

Seeing that Second Master Wang seemed to be motivated, Wang Hui nodded with satisfaction and said, "You go down first!" ”

"No!"

After the second master Wang bowed respectfully again, he left slowly.

After the second master left, Wang Hui refocused his eyes on the old tree in front of the courtyard. After staring for a while, Wang let out a long sigh.

Langya Wang's is old!
