Leaving Chen Die's residence, Chang Zhenbang was panting Zhang Youneng came over, saying that it was Chang Lao who called him, as soon as he heard his father call him, Chang Zhenbang hurriedly tidied up his clothes a little, and then under the leadership of Zhang Youneng, he hurriedly came to his father's courtyard, he stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, and asked softly: "Father, are you looking for me?" ”

After screaming a few times, I didn't hear any movement in Mr. Chang's house, thinking that the old father had come from afar, and he had already fallen asleep after a long journey. When he turned to leave, he heard his father's slow and steady voice from inside the house: "It's Zhenbang, come in!" ”

"Yes, Father!" Chang Zhenbang slowly pushed open the door and walked in, and after saying goodbye, after Master Chang asked him to sit down, he said: "Father called the child here, I don't know what court training there is!" ”

Master Chang said with relief: "Zhenbang, I have heard all the things you have done in Jiujiang, and I am very pleased that you did not wantonly search and kill innocents in order to hold on to your fame." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "This is all taught by my father. The son just obeyed the order, and luckily the court was lenient, and President Yuan was not to blame for his mercy. ”

Master Chang snorted coldly and said, "The imperial court? Hum! The so-called members of the National Assembly in Beijing are all weak and powerless people, and they have no other ability to restrain the armies in the north and south, and they are afraid of what they will do! It's President Yuan who is dissatisfied with you, after all, such a good place in Jiujiang has not fallen into the hands of Beiyang, but it has been occupied by your kid, this dumb person can eat Li Chun, but Beiyang can't eat it, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, as long as you make a slight mistake, I don't know how many people in Beiyang will come over and step on you! If it weren't for your Uncle Xu, Uncle Feng would have said good things for you in front of his father, and you would have been in a catastrophe long ago. ”

"Uncle Xu?"

"It's Xu Juren Xu Shichang!" Master Chang said: "Xu Shichang has two generations of friendship with my Chang family, but the chrysanthemum people are all over the capital, from the prince to the play, they are all talking very happily, this time he can speak for you, but also to save your Uncle Feng's face, in the future, you will not act recklessly in Jiujiang, let your Uncle Feng be embarrassed." ”

Chang Zhenbang was very grateful, but said: "Thank you father, Uncle Xu and Uncle Feng for their preservation, my father can rest assured, Zhenbang will never dare to act recklessly." But the state affairs are important, the well-being of the people is great, if the friendship between uncle and nephew can be preserved, Zhenbang will never be the ungrateful person, if loyalty and filial piety can not be both, the son has to take filial piety as loyalty, and hope that his father will forgive. ”

Master Chang was very satisfied when he heard this, and said: "You have this thought, I am very pleased for my father, my Chang family boy is the most important thing to be a national affair!" ”

After receiving Master Chang's praise, Chang Zhenbang did not leak his joy, but asked respectfully and in a low voice: "Thank you father for the praise, but my son can't figure it out, Zhenbang has not done anything illegal in this Jiujiang City." Even if everyone in Beiyang is red, shouldn't they target their son like this? ”

Master Chang said: "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!" This Jiujiang town guard position President Yuan Da has been given to General Li Chun, you are good, you actually crossed Li Chun to occupy Jiujiang, if it wasn't for the Gan bandits defeated so quickly, so that Li Chun got the position of Jiangxi governor, he still has no idea of trying to kill you! You are young and vigorous, when President Yuan Da ordered to reward you, you could have accepted it when you saw it, and resigned from the position of the town guard, one to show favor to the Beiyang princes, and the other to get out of Jiangxi, with your military exploits to Central China is the same as the town guard, not to mention that Central China is close to the center, and you have military power. At that time, it was also very difficult for Bi Zehua to move you, as long as you took time, you could replace it, thinking that the relationship between your father and the Beiyang army would ensure that you sat in Luoyin. It's a pity you're too young. ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled and said: "What my father said is very true, at that time, my son didn't know the relationship between my father and Beiyang and President Yuan Da, and I only felt that the opportunity was rare, so I stayed in Jiujiang. ”

Master Chang said: "Forget it, let's eat a trench and grow wise!" In fact, it is not completely beneficial for you to stay in Jiangxi, with Sun Monkey's ability to make trouble, as long as you don't fight the nine sides for a day, the southern provinces will have no peace for a day, and it is really difficult to celebrate the father's immortality! Zhenbang, you have a lot of military achievements, but you are shallow in the army, and the army is the most advocating for seniority, you can just have more experience in the south, and after some achievements, it is good to transfer to Central China. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Father's words, Zhenbang wrote it down!" It's just that I don't know how Uncle Feng came to Jiujiang with his father. ”

Master Chang continued: "Actually, when you went down to Jiangxi, my father knew that with your character, I was afraid that I would not take the initiative to contact Feng Guozhang, so I went to Nanjing for my father and met your Uncle Feng, only to find out that the Central China Army was transferred to the Jiangxi battlefield. This time, your Uncle Feng went south to inspect, met me and Zhumadian, and went south together, along the way, from the mouths of the people, merchants, and others to know what you were doing in Jiujiang, your Uncle Feng couldn't help but come to your Jiujiang with his father to see. ”

"The things in the mouth of the peddler's pawn are inevitably a little exaggerated, the son has not been in power in Jiujiang for a long time, and it is not as good as what some people say, but I think that after the war, it is better to toss less." Chang Zhenbang said modestly.

"Zhenbang, you have finally grown up, and if you toss these three words, you will break the true meaning of being an official and a eunuch." Master Chang said happily: "I was afraid that you had no hair on your mouth, you didn't do things well, and when you first entered the officialdom, you were a guard, and it was inevitable that you would be rampant and did ridiculous things in Jiujiang, harming the people, and scolding your ancestors, but I didn't expect you to do a good job, you didn't embarrass your ancestors, and you can go underground to see your ancestors even if your father dies." When it comes to sadness, Master Chang can't help but cry.

Chang Zhenbang hurriedly went up to comfort him: "What did my father say, you haven't hugged your grandson yet, how can you see your ancestors like this." As he spoke, he put on a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his father's eyes.

Master Chang said: "When people are old, it is inevitable that there will be little sadness for a while, where are you young people, or a round of sunrise, and some are motivated." Xiaozhu is a nice girl, you have to be kind to her! Don't snub her because of her heavy workload. ”

Chang Zhenbang said respectfully: "The father's teaching and son have written it down. As he spoke, he knelt in front of Master Chang.

Master Chang hurriedly stood up and grabbed his arm to pull him up, and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Chang Zhenbang said ashamedly: "My son married without telling him, and I hope my father will forgive me." ”

When Master Chang heard this, he laughed and said, "What is this!" You married such a good daughter-in-law as Xiaozhu, it's too late to be happy for your father, how can I blame you? I know all about you, Xiaozhu is a poor child, you can't wronged others. ”

Chang Zhenbang nodded again and again, and said, "Father, don't worry, my son will be single-minded about Xiaozhu." ”

Master Chang said: "But I heard that the daughter of the Lu family is going to be rich, what's going on?" You must not do anything that is sorry for your ancestors. ”

Chang Zhenbang's heart chuckled, this question still couldn't jump, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "The Lu family's generation is a girl in Xiaozhu, and I hope that if I have a child in the future, I can give the Lu family a successor." As for the fact that the argument is pure fiction, please rest assured that Zhenbang will never do anything to be sorry for his ancestors. ”

Master Chang nodded when he heard this, and said: "This is human nature, and it should be the case for a child, when the second child comes out, he will be given to the Lu family!" ”

"Father, what Xiaozhu and I mean is that the situation is uncertain now, and turmoil is imminent, if you really have a child, you might as well give the boss to the Lu family, which can be regarded as an explanation to the Lu family, if there is turmoil in the country, it will not be served by others, if the world is peaceful, it doesn't matter. Do you think that's going to work? ”

"Bastard thing, have you forgotten the truth that the eldest son is not a human queen!" Master Chang was furious when he heard this, and said: "Lu Xiaozhu is your wife, and her eldest son is the eldest son of my Chang family, how can there be any reason after the eldest son changes his surname to someone else!" If Lu Xiaozhu insists on this, my Chang family will not have such a daughter-in-law! ”

Chang Zhenbang hurriedly said: "Father, don't be angry, this is not what I used to say and play, how can I take it seriously!" After the boss comes out, he will definitely inherit the legal system of our old Chang family. ”

"Humph!" Master Chang snorted coldly, glared at Chang Zhenbang, and said, "There is no best!" Don't think that you went to Dongying to study foreign books for a few years, drank a few bottles of foreign ink, and forgot what your surname was! It is President Yuan Da who became the emperor, and a hundred years later, the lame prince ascended the throne, no matter how good it is, it is useless, the family of the Son of Heaven is still like this, not to mention that our Lao Chang family has been cultivating and reading heirlooms for generations, and we must not do such a miserable and unconscionable thing! ”

Chang Zhenbang didn't expect his father to be so angry, and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, Xiaozhu is definitely not such an unreasonable person." ”

"Xiaozhu, that kid, I'm not worried, people are also the family of the emperor's grace, but your kid has been in Dongying in the small state of Puer for so many years, I'm afraid that I have long forgotten the outline of father, son, son, monarch and minister!"

"Where did my father say! My son is not a man who forgets his roots! Please rest assured, my father. Chang Zhenbang smiled bitterly and said, in fact, in his opinion, except for the difference in age between the eldest and second sons, they are all accidental products, and there is no essential difference at all.

"Did you write down your Uncle Feng's words?" Master Chang said suddenly. Chang Zhenbang thought for a while and said, "My son has already written down those sixteen words. ”

"Speak!"

"Erlu, the people's fat and the people's ointment. The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive! Chang Zhenbang said those sixteen words like an endorsement.

Master Chang suddenly said very seriously: "You asked Lian Jun, but your Uncle Feng told you these sixteen words, do you know what this means?" ”

Chang Zhenbang searched his scalp a few times, lowered his head and said: "My son may be thinking badly, and I hope my father will make it clear." ”

Master Chang glanced at him and knew that he had his own thoughts, and the reason why he didn't want to say it was because he didn't want to collide with himself, in fact, because of this kind of conflict, he still liked it, but since his son didn't want to say it, he didn't want to be too reluctant, so he had to say lightly: "Although you are in Jiangxi, you should also know about the death of Zhang Xiangshuai, the governor of Huguang!" ”

Chang Zhenbang thought for a while and said, "What my father said is ......."

In the first month of the first year of Xuantong, the imperial court ordered President Yuan Da to return to Henan to recuperate in the name of "foot disease". In June, Zhang Xiangshuai became seriously ill. When he was dying, his father, the Prince Regent, visited him in person. Zhang Xiangshuai, an old minister of the four dynasties, still remembered the safety of the world when he was dying, and proposed to appease the people. But the regent of the royal father said proudly: "Don't be afraid, there are soldiers." Since then, Jang Zhidong has never said a word about the national economy and people's livelihood before the Lord Regent. On the same day, Zhang Xiangshuai died in the endless lament that "the country's fortune is over". Before it arrived, the Wuhan civil turmoil, there were vendettas between the north and the south in the country, and there were coveted by the east and the west outside, and the world was almost collapsed. ”

Chang Lao talked eloquently, Chang Zhenbang thought for a while, and said: "What my father said is that those who win the hearts of the people win the world!" The hearts of the people in the north belong to Yuan Shikai, but the people in the south are inclined to Sun Monkey! Don't look at the whole territory of China has been attributed to President Yuan Da, but the undercurrents in various parts of the south are turbulent, and they really can't withstand major changes. After speaking, he glanced at Master Chang, saw that his face was serious, and he was afraid that what he said would not be in line with his heart, so he hurriedly lowered his head and made a flattering gesture of a good son.

Master Chang said: "What you said is very right, and it is very good, the current state of the country is indeed like this, but it is not the focus of my father's words!" The focus of the father is on the five words of His Royal Highness the Regent: 'Don't be afraid, there are soldiers.' Do you know why the Father says that? ”

Chang Zhenbang thought for a while and said: ""The old soldiers, the murder weapons, the contenders, the anti-morality, the generals, the dead officials, so the saints are not allowed to use them, but as soon as the mentality of the emperor and ruler comes out, the world will be out of control from now on!" Therefore, the soldier cannot hold it! That's what my father and Uncle Feng said! ”

Master Chang was very satisfied with his answer, and couldn't help but nod and said, "The son can be taught!" If Feng Guozhang can understand this, the future is limitless. If you can really learn this from your Uncle Feng, it will be a great blessing for Jiujiang, a great blessing for all the people, and a great blessing for my Chang family! ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "My son has been taught. ”

Master Chang said: "Okay, I'm tired, you go!" ”

Chang Zhenbang hurriedly retreated, but before he could close the door, Master Chang suddenly stopped him and said, "Fluttershy's arrangement." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Sister Xiaodie's side has Xiaozhu's arrangement, food, clothing, housing and transportation are fine, father, you can rest assured." ”

Master Chang said: "Zhenbang, Fluttershy is a poor child, she is kind to her father, and if she accepts her as a daughter for her father, she will be like your own sister, food and clothing are indispensable, and greetings are indispensable." Don't let people feel alienated. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "In addition to Xiaozhu, there are no other women in the town guard embassy, Sister Fluttershy is here, and the two of them happen to be together, and they will definitely not snub her!" But ......"

"But what? What else can't be said between you and me? ”

Chang Zhenbang said, "My son didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to know about Fluttershy's sister and his father's encounter."

Master Chang thought for a while, sighed, and said: "I'm ashamed to say that my father received your Uncle Feng's visit, he is a dignified Zhili overseer, but his father is in white, and his friends have come all the way to meet him, and he has to meet him in the city for both public and private fathers, who knows when he is in Wenxian County, but he met the bandit Bai Impermanence, and almost all the family members brought by his father were killed by the puppy, if it weren't for Fluttershy's father, even if he appeared, he saved his father's life, maybe his father would have explained where he was." It's a shame that Fluttershy's father saved her father's life, but she can't save Fluttershy's father's life! ”

Bai impermanence, it turned out to be Bai impermanence again, didn't this son of a dog die in the hands of Qian Defa first, and then in his own hands? How can there be another white impermanence for no reason? Could it be that this surnamed Bai is really hell and impermanent?

Hum! No matter what he is, as long as he dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, Lao Tzu can't easily spare him, even if he is the king of the underworld, Lao Tzu will let him die thoroughly and never live again.

No, there is something strange in this, not to mention what is going on with Bai Wuchang, just why Chen Die's father appeared is worth scrutinizing, not to mention that Chen Die's father himself is a flaw, I remember hearing her say that there is such a father, but I haven't met for many years, it is impossible to appear in Wenshan by such a coincidence for no reason, and appear in front of Bai Wuchang and his father, thinking of this, he smiled. This little butterfly is really good at acting, it's really cute, although it hurt a lot of Lao Chang's family, but it's good that her father wasn't hurt, not to mention that all this she worked hard to do was not to get close to herself, just because of this, she should be given a name.

"Zhenbang, what are you laughing at!" Master Chang stretched out his hand and knocked Chang Zhenbang on the head, and reprimanded him with an unhappy face: "Fluttershy is the righteous daughter of her father, and her father is your father. ”

Chang Zhenbang hurriedly knelt in front of Master Chang and said, "Father, you misunderstood, a woman like Fluttershy can become his father's daughter, and his son is happy for his father." ”

Master Chang snorted coldly and said, "Woman? What do you do with Fluttershy? Seeing her and her father living alone, and now her father is dead because of her father, how can her father leave the silver taels and stand by and watch, so he has no choice but to accept her as a righteous daughter, but the father has to warn you, Fluttershy, she is the father's daughter, your sister, you kid must not do anything bad, if you do something bad about the etiquette, even if others don't say anything, Lao Tzu will not spare you, go! ”
