Chapter 0774 - Father and Son in the Car Discuss Loyalty and Adultery
After Yue Lin came out of Jiang Fu's house, he got into the carriage and prepared to go home. When he boarded the carriage, he found that his son Yue Chen had been waiting in the carriage for a long time.
"Chen'er, why are you here?"
"After the child finished handling the affairs of the Criminal Department, he passed by here on his way home, and heard that his father was discussing political affairs with Master Jiang here, so he waited here by the way, planning to go back to the house with his father......"
Yue Chen's rhetoric is very reasonable, but knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Yue Lin glanced up at the son opposite, and then said in a deep voice: "Chen'er, do you have something to say to your father?" ”
"Oh? Why did my father ask this question? ”
Today's Yue Chen is no longer the dashing son of the past, and he has his own city government after being in the officialdom for a long time, so he just smiled lightly and did not show too many emotional fluctuations in front of his father.
Yue Lin saw that his son was so generous, but his heart was full of helplessness and relief, intertwined with complex emotions.
It is gratifying that now that his child is young and is the secretary of the Criminal Department, his gradually mature mind has adapted to this officialdom, and he is better than his father.
Helplessly, the frank conversation between father and son in the past has now become a luxury for each other.
"Since you have nothing to say, the Father has something to say to you today......
"Listen to your father!"
"Regarding the current situation in the court, my father really wants to know, what is my son's plan in his heart?"
This question bothered Yue Lin for a long time, because his son did not join their camp or belong to the hostile camp of the King of Jin in this situation.
Instead, he led a few young people to form a neutral small group, which made Yue Lin's face somewhat unbearable, because this was obviously in front of Jiang Fu and others, and secretly slapped him.
After all, he, Jiang Fu and other ministers have always been relatively united forces, and now among the descendants of his in-law family, this self-supporting door is out, which makes the colleagues of the united front look at him?
Is it okay to discipline you, or are you Yue Lin leaving a back hand towards Qin Duchu?
He had heard some rumors about these groundless suspicions in private, but Yue Lin had always ignored them, because he didn't want to sway and decide his son's thoughts because of his position.
He Yue Lin is not a stubborn person, but he has always scoffed at stubbornness, which can be seen from the blank exam questions in Chuzhou Qiuqiu that year.
For a long time, Yue Chen, who is the son of man, is also glad that he has an enlightened father, he originally planned to talk to his father about this matter implicitly today, and now that his father has taken the lead in asking questions, he will also be blunt.
"Please forgive the child for saying bluntly, the partisan dispute in the court is not the original intention of the child as an official, so he is willing to be neutral, and does not advance and retreat with his father, although it is unfilial piety, but it is the child's original intention to be an official......"
Yue Chen then took a deep breath, glanced at the dark night outside the car, and then said, "Father, has you ever calmed down and thought about it, being in a high position in the court, just for the sake of power and desire?" If this is the case, then where are the traitors, and where are the loyal ministers? ”
"Loyalty is loyalty, treachery is treachery, obvious things, how can my son question it?"
When Yue Chen heard his father's words, he shook his head and retorted, "Father's words are false, in my father's eyes, you and Lord Jiang form a force to support the crown prince and are loyal, while the king of Jin disobeys orthodoxy and suppresses the rest of the courtiers is a traitor......"
"Isn't it?"
"But the child doesn't think so, because in the child's eyes, there is no loyalty between the two parties......
"Oh, then the father should listen to my son's high opinions!" No matter how good Yue Lin's temper is, he is said to be an unfaithful person in front of his son, and he is somewhat angry in his heart.
Yue Chen knew that his words would displease his father, but he still wanted to say it today: "For example, these eighteen courtiers impeached by the King of Jin, these people are usually dignified and have a high posture, but behind their backs, they are hiding filth and dirt, is this the behavior of loyal ministers?" ”
"This ...... These are just a few examples......"
"Oh, if this matter is not pierced by King Jin, then in the future, these people will be famous in history, and the historian will leave more rhetoric and ink on them, I don't know if it's correct to say this?"
“……”
Seeing that his father was speechless, Yue Chen said again: "Although the move of King Jin and Kong Defang is for public and private use, aiming to suppress the opponent, but they are doing this indirectly to eradicate the black sheep of the court, is it really wrong?" ”
"Then according to my son's words, the king of Jin ......"
As soon as Yue Lin's words were spoken, he was directly interrupted by Yue Chen: "Father, although most of the Jin Wang's party are traitors, you can't deny that there are indeed many officials who have done practical things for the people, and they have also worked tirelessly for the imperial court, otherwise my father and Mrs. Jiang would not have been helpless so far, the child said this, I don't know if it's right?" ”
"Uh......"
"What is loyalty, what is treachery? Throwing away the real traitors and evildoers, these courtiers who are worried about the country and the people are used to being infamous through the ages because of their different positions? ”
“……”
"In the eyes of children, compared with those who are traitors and evildoers, these people who fight for partisan interests for their own desires, but do not care about the livelihood of the people, are the real traitors who bring disaster to the country and the people!"
"You! ……”
"If the child says something wrong, I hope the father will forgive me!"
“……”
Yue Lin's raised slap was slowly put down, although he felt that Yue Chen's unscrupulous talk was detrimental to his dignity, but he had to say that his son's words made him feel it.
The more sensible and reasonable a person is, the more he can accept the infusion of correct thoughts, obviously Yue Lin is not the kind of person who is old-fashioned and scrupulous, he feels that what his son said is not unreasonable.
So he was silent, and Yue Chenyue on the other side didn't say much, saying that for this sake, he knew that his father needed to digest these things slowly.
In this way, the carriage slowly drove towards Yue's mansion, and the father and son were silent to each other along the way, until they came to the gate of the mansion, and the father and son had no intention of getting off.
After a long silence, Yue Lin sighed deeply: "It seems that my father is really old, and he has forgotten that it was his ambition to enter the officialdom when he was young, and he has also forgotten the ancestral teachings of my Yue family......
"Father's ......"
"If you can't serve the country and the people, but do some things to fight for power and profit, even if you will be famous in history in the future, you will have a restless conscience for the rest of your life! My son's words just now made my father feel empowered! ”
"The child didn't dare, and besides, this remark didn't come from the child's mouth......"
"Oh? Who is Coats who sees officialdom so thoroughly? ”
"Yes...... Your Majesty......"
"What! Is it Your Majesty!? ”
As soon as Yue Chen's words came out, Yue Lin was shocked and stunned on the spot.
Since the father and son talked all the way in the car, Yue Lin deliberately broke away from the Taizi one-party camp led by Jiang Fu, but was in a neutral attitude with his son Yue Chen.
It didn't take long for the government and the public to be shocked by the assassination of the Japanese mission on the way, and after a thorough investigation, it was learned that it was the Bagong Mountain bandits, so they sent troops to arrest and encircle them.
Because this matter is handled by the head of the court, now there is such a big thing, Jiang Fu is naturally duty-bound, and Jiang Fu was calculated by the King of Jin before the reputation of the impact, so a will was issued, directly deposed Jiang Fu Zaifu position.
