Chapter 161: Father and Daughter Make Heart

On the way back to Luoyang, the wheels were sparkling, the cry was good, and the string looked at Zhang Rui, who had not seen her for a long time, and was very affectionate: "Miss, the young master often sits alone in the garden, and the depressed appearance makes the slave sour in his heart, are you going back to the garden to live this time?" ”

Zhang Rui didn't answer, she lifted the car curtain, Yang Ke's back was bumpy and undulating in front of her, her eyes were slightly hot, and then she lowered the car curtain: "No, I'm going to go home this time, you have to work hard these days, and you have to care more about Ke'er." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he has never been afraid of people outside intriguing with him, but if the people around him fight with him, he will not be able to let go. In fact, Keer is a very soft-hearted person. ”

Listening to Zhang Rui as if she was telling herself, and as if she was talking to herself, she didn't know what to say, and she didn't know how to answer, she sighed for a long time, and sighed: "Miss knows?" ”

Zhang Rui nodded: "He is a person, he hides everything in his heart, I guessed it myself." ”

"The young master came back this time, he was very worried, he had never been so depressed as he was now, there were always some people who could be discussed, but now, the young master stayed in the garden all day, no one saw him, he ate very little, and the slave didn't dare to ask, I heard that the young master had found Miss you these days, the slave and the maid were really happy, at least there was someone who could accompany him to chat, so as not to get sick."

Zhang Rui couldn't help but be very moved when she saw the anxiety on Chuan'er's face: "It's rare to have someone as caring as you take care of Ke'er, and I can rest assured." ”

Zhang Hua looked at his daughter standing in front of him, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and his thousand words finally turned into a short sentence: "I'm back." For this only daughter, Zhang Hua's feelings are very complicated, first of all, she is distressed, how can parents in the world not pity their children. The second is guilt, he knows very well in his heart that it is precisely because of his conviction and exile that his family was harmed that Zhang Rui was hired as an official prostitute, and he can't wash away this stigma for the rest of his life. In the end, there is also complaining and blaming, knowing that the family behind Yang Ke, including the Queen Mother, does not approve of this family business, as for Yang Ke's staff and loyal subordinates, they don't want Yang Ke to marry a woman who has been an official prostitute as his wife, Zhang Rui's insistence was a mistake from the beginning.

Starting from the interests of the entire country and factions, Yang Ke should embark on the road of political marriage, such as the royal family, clans, and interracial marriages no matter how bad they are. From this point of view, Tang Zhong and others, the Queen Mother and Yang Ke's parents were all actively involved in the planning and repeatedly admonished Yang Ke that intermarriage with the royal family or big clan can bring more allies to join and stabilize the court and the country, and intermarriage with foreign races can bring peace on the border and diplomatic allies. And these benefits are all that Zhang Rui can't bring to Yang Ke, not to mention that under the Great Jin Dynasty, the actual ruler above 10,000 people, and the marquis of the country marry an official prostitute as a wife, it is absolutely not allowed by the regulations of the ancestral law and Juelu, and what is the etiquette law? Ritual law is the foundation of rule, and the destruction of ritual law is something that the entire bureaucracy must not compromise. Therefore, seeing this unsolvable proposition, Zhang Hua was powerless on the one hand, and on the other hand, he hoped that his daughter would change her mind and no longer make unrealistic fantasies. Unexpectedly, this always gentle daughter made the choice to become a monk, which means that Zhang Hua is likely to have no successor, which makes him not complain and blame his daughter in his heart, but Zhang Hua buried all this deep in his heart, unwilling to touch his daughter's already scarred heart.

"Dad, is there any disagreement between you and Yang Hou?" Zhang Rui asked cautiously.

Zhang Hua's face was impassive: "Did he say it to you?" ”

Zhang Rui shook his head: "He didn't say anything, but in the past few days, he came to the Nameless Nunnery to find his daughter, and told his daughter that he wanted to open a forum in the Guozijian and let the ministers of the court and the central government come to discuss the situation and peace between the DPRK and China." ”

Zhang Hua's face softened slightly: "That's just chatting with you about state affairs, don't worry, we don't have any differences." ”

Zhang Rui sighed faintly: "Dad, these things, he should discuss these things with you, his personal staff, and the Queen Mother, but he either stays closed in Kyoto all day, or he goes to the Nameless Nunnery to talk about state affairs with a person who doesn't interfere with the court, and even his daughter guesses it, do you think those ministers in the court will not be able to see through it?" ”

After Zhang Hua listened, his face immediately became grim, he calmed down a little, pointed to the bluestone tables and chairs in the courtyard and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

The father and daughter sat down silently, but Zhang Rui no longer spoke, but looked at her father without saying a word. Zhang Hua pondered for a long time, and took the lead in breaking the silence: "Being a father is not for personal prejudices, the history books of the past dynasties are clear, the authority of the ministers has reached the limit, and it will inevitably endanger the society and the world, Wang Mang and Cao Wei of the year, to say a big disrespectful word, even the first emperor, which one is not ascended to the position of the Son of Heaven by the minister, but every time the dynasty is changed, there are countless heads rolling, mourning all over the field, so the first emperor set the national policy of the vassal king to defend the son of heaven. Now that the real strength of the court and the vassal king with military power have been subdued, if you take another step, the balance in the court will be completely broken, who can guarantee that Yang Hou will not become the second Yang Jun, or even Cao Cao. Even if he refused, would his subordinates and staff agree? That throne is so tempting, how many people in the world can resist this temptation? ”

After listening to his father's remarks, Zhang Rui understood why the clan and Wenchen stood on the opposite side of Yang Ke this time, not because of their conspiracy to join forces, but because they both saw Yang Ke's power getting bigger and bigger, and they were worried that one day he would have no one to check and balance, so he took the problem of the vassal king as a breakthrough point, laid out in advance, supported the vassal king, strengthened the power of the clan and the ministers, and restored the balance of power in the court. People who want to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie at a critical moment in the distribution of power. But after thinking about it, she suddenly realized a key issue, the attitude of the Queen Mother is crucial, she is the highest decision-maker in the imperial court after all. So, Zhang Rui tried her best to control her emotions and asked softly: "Does the Queen Mother also mean the same as her father?" ”
