Wang Xu was not verbose, and went straight to the point: "Father, do you remember what the master said just now?" He said the world was about to be in turmoil. In fact, the child also has the same idea, and in the process of discussing and calculating with the master, we have determined that troubled times are coming! And it's an unprecedented turbulent time. ”

Hearing Wang Xu say this, Wang Yan was immediately startled. After looking up to see if there was anyone outside the hall, he pulled Wang Xu back to the innermost part of the hall.

After kneeling on both sides of the table, he asked softly, "Xu'er is telling the truth?" Although the eunuchs are in charge of the Han Dynasty now, and the dynasty is sluggish, it should not have reached the point of chaos in the world, right? ”

"Father, think about it, isn't it because of the dictatorship of eunuchs like Zhao Gao that the former Qin led the world to chaos? And because of the power of the eunuchs, you see that corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant in the world, and there are many rebellions in various places, although they have all been suppressed, but this problem has not been fundamentally solved. One day an unprecedented rebellion will break out, especially after the disaster of the party, how can the world be pacified if there are many talented people buried with grievances? After speaking, seeing that Wang Yan was still a little hesitant, he opened his mouth and added: "The master also watched the sky at night, so he said today that the world will be chaotic!" ”

Xuanwei Daoist knows the number of stargazing, Wang Yan knows, so Wang Xu brought him out, and immediately erased Wang Yan's last suspicion. In addition, he also had a good understanding of the current situation between the DPRK and China, so he naturally knew that this was not impossible. Immediately, he couldn't hold back the indignation in his heart, and scolded the eunuch for a bloody squirt.

After his anger subsided, he sighed helplessly. "It really gratifies me that Xu'er has such foresight, but there is no one in our Wang family who can influence the situation between the DPRK and China at the moment, so what can we do if we know it? Eunuchs are in charge, how many people in the world don't know? But no one listens to the play, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will lead to the disaster of extermination. ”

Seeing that his father misunderstood what he meant, Wang Xu hurriedly explained. "Father, it is not possible for us to remove the eunuchs now. I mean, how are we supposed to keep our own family in the midst of the chaos that is coming. Only by preserving ourselves first will it be possible to find opportunities to revitalize the country in the future! ”

Wang Xu didn't dare to say that he didn't want to assist the mediocre emperor at all, some things had to be done slowly.

"Well, that's true. But what does Xu'er mean? ”

"To protect ourselves, of course we must have our own strength, so that at least we can ensure our own safety first." Seeing that his father had been hooked by himself, Wang Xu laughed secretly in his heart.

But as soon as Wang Xu's words came out, Wang Yan suddenly burst out laughing. "I thought Xu'er meant something, but it turned out to be this!"

As he spoke, Wang Yan lowered his voice again and said, "Because Xu'er is still young, my father has never told you. In fact, who of the scholars in this world has no guards in their hands? Although our royal family no longer has any positions in the court, we are still influential among the scholars, and we are still a wealthy family. Since the rise of Guangwu Zhongxing, the scholars not only owned a large amount of land, but also had many businessmen, and as the industry became larger, safety naturally became a problem. Our royal family has been an official eunuch for generations, and the protection category is naturally indispensable. ”

Hearing what his father said, Wang Xu suddenly remembered that Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty still encouraged commerce after that, and there were many scholars who did business at that time, and the Silk Road was not the rise of the Han Dynasty? I couldn't help but pat my head. Alas! It's really that I'm confused, and I still think that in ancient times, I emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, and forgot that some dynastic policies were also very enlightened. Since there is money, in the late Han Dynasty, when the concept of the gate lord clan was very strong, of course, there would be private soldiers, that is, the so-called guards. I was also confused for a while, like when Cao Cao raised his army, didn't the Xiahou brothers bring one or two thousand people to take refuge?

"Then I don't know how many guards my father has?"

Wang Yan looked at his young and old son, and couldn't help but smile. "I have five hundred elite guards in my hands, your uncle has more than three hundred, and your uncle has more than two hundred. As for the other collateral relatives, I can't say for sure, some are more, some are few, and some are not! But being a father is the most. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yan said with a little pride: "Because your grandfather did not allow your uncle and me to enter politics, and as a father, he was a concubine, and when dividing the family property, it was relatively small according to the convention. But my father has been in business, and after years of painstaking management, our house is the richest in the entire Wang family. ”

"Uh......" To be honest, Wang Xu really didn't know what his father was busy with before, and no one had ever told him. On weekdays, everyone is the young master, and the young master calls him, and he doesn't have the heart to figure it out, just doing his own thing.

I didn't expect it to be like this, but looking at his father's elegant appearance, he couldn't connect it with the image of a businessman with an oily face in his imagination in the Middle Ages. But it's always good to have money, and the most important thing is to have your own money.

"Father, the elite you are talking about, that must be the real elite! Since there are 500 people, it is enough to protect the children in the family. But the child still has an idea! ”

"Just say it!"

Wang Xu was not polite, and immediately said: "Although the child is young, he has the heart to serve the country. However, if you want to wait until the future to be filial piety, you must be 20 years old and adulthood, even if the situation is exceptional, you must be 17 or 8 years old. But time waits for no one, and chaos is coming, and the child hopes that his father can support an army for the child to assist the court in quelling the chaos in the future. As long as there is merit, the child can be exempted from the journey of filial piety and honesty and become an official in advance! ”

When Wang Yan heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Wang Xu in disbelief. "Xu'er, you're only 13 years old? Want to go to war at such an age? ”

After speaking, he immediately shook his head again and again and said, "No, no, how can my father joke with your life." ”

Wang Xu knew early on that he would definitely object, so he organized his words a little and began to exert his three-inch incorruptible tongue.

"Father, what is youth? During the Warring States Period, Ganluo of Qin State could be a talented guest of Lü Buwei at the age of twelve, and later became an envoy to Zhao State, and was named Shangqing by King Qin for his merits! Also, when Huo Qubing was more than ten years old, he had already accompanied the general to conquer Saiwai and established great feats. There are so many heroes of ancient and modern times, so many young people, why can't I? Besides, the child's martial arts father knows, if I have such a skill, if I am still afraid, then I will not be able to do anything. ”

After saying these words, Wang Xu looked at his father, who had gradually fallen silent, and unnaturally remembered a song that he liked very much before, and couldn't help but sing it slowly.

"The husband is in the world and has made meritorious contributions; Meritorious service, comfort life. Comfort the peace, I will be drunk; I will be drunk and groan......"
