Chapter 32 The Decision of the Two Governments
Besides, Wang Wenhe returned to the mansion with Wang Yin, Wang Wenhe reprimanded his nephew Wang Yin fiercely, and took a hard breath to get angry at Guo Xiang, so he felt a lot more comfortable, and then calmed down and came to his father Wang You's study.
Wang You is over fifty years old, and his body is a little fat, but his skin is white and tender, which shows that he is very well maintained in this regard. He was reading a book in the study, and when he saw his son walking into the study, there was still a little unhappiness on his face, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Got angry at the Nine Emperors' Mansion today? β
"Humph! Isn't it just a prince who has been hostage to leave the country for ten years? What's the big deal, dare to bully my Wang family like this, sooner or later I will definitely have this evil breath with him. Thinking of the scene of pleading in a low voice in front of Guo Xiang, Wang Wenhe gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
"Bastard, how do you talk? I don't know how many times I have told you for my father, you have to be calm in trouble, you have to learn to hide your joys, sorrows and sorrows in your heart, you look at your current appearance, like a wild dog that has been injured and wants to bite people, where is there a little bit like my heir to the Wang family? When Wang You heard what Wang Wenhe said, he immediately scolded with his head and face.
Wang Wenhe was reprimanded by Wang You for a while, and suddenly realized that what he said just now was a bit reckless, so he immediately admitted his mistake to Wang You, "Father, just now it was the son who was angry enough to say anything and ask his father to punish him!" β
Wang You saw that his son seemed to have discovered what he was wrong with, and immediately admitted his mistake to him, so he nodded with great relief, and asked in a soothing tone, "Close the door, and then tell me more about what happened after you arrived at the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion!" β
Wang Wenhe turned around and closed the door of the study, and described to Wang You in detail the process of going to Ji Qingchen's mansion to plead guilty for his nephew Wang Yin. After listening to his narration, Wang You didn't speak, but pondered for a moment before asking, "Tell me, what kind of person do you think the Nine Emperor Princes are through this contact?" β
When Wang You asked, Wang Wenhe didn't answer immediately, but fell into deep thought, and after a while, he retracted his thoughts and said carefully, "Father, his son looks at the Nine Emperor Prince Ji Qingchen as a modest and scheming person, but he is a little cowardly and lacks assertiveness, and he is a person who is difficult to achieve great things. β
"Wellββ? Isn't it like the second highness said that he is a person with a gentle appearance and a deep heart, and a person with a warp and weft in his chest? Wang You asked strangely, he was a supporter of the second prince Ji Ping, and now when he heard his son's opinion and the second prince said something wrong, he couldn't help frowning.
"My son really didn't find out about this." Wang Wenhe replied honestly, glanced at his father again, and said, "But my son thinks that His Royal Highness's evaluation of the Ninth Emperor Prince Ji Qingchen is a bit high. β
"According to what you say, as a father, I really think that the Nine Emperors are not simple!" Wang You said with emotion, "His Second Highness's talent is also very admired by his father, otherwise his father would not fully support him in competing for the crown prince, so he said that Ji Qingchen, the son of the Nine Emperors, is a person with a longitude and latitude in his chest, and he naturally does not doubt it at all as a father." But you have always been quite capable of knowing people, and you said that the Nine Emperor Princes are a person who is difficult to achieve great things, and you naturally believe it as a father. Now that you have a discrepancy with the evaluation of the Second Highness, it is definitely not that the two of you have a problem in recognizing people, but that the Nine Emperor Princes are too good at hiding themselves, and they have not shown their truest side in front of you and the Second Highness, so that you can have such a judgment. β
"What does Father mean?" Wang Wenhe asked.
"It seems that we still despised the Nine Emperor Princes before, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness to have another opponent, I knew that when His Majesty called him back, his father should have vigorously opposed it." Wang You said in a solemn tone, "But it's not too late to find out now, he has just returned to King's Landing, except for a Ye Qingchen, he has no foundation in the court, we want to deal with him when he hasn't developed yet, but we don't have to bother too much." β
"Father means that he wants to cut off the way for the Nine Emperor Princes to get involved in the crown prince's position?" Wang Wenhe said sinisterly, and the joy on his face flashed.
"That's what my father thinks, and that's what His Royal Highness means." A hint of gloom flashed in Wang You's eyes, and he continued to say slowly, "But you still have to pay attention, he has been away from the country for ten years, and now he has just returned to King's Landing, in order to compensate for the debt to him in the past ten years, His Majesty is the time of the Holy Grace, we can't touch the head at this time, and we need to rely on the strength of others to deal with him."
"The son understands, please rest assured that the son will think of a safer way." Wang Wenhe immediately nodded and replied.
"Yes! It's good that you understand, just don't rush it, there is still half a year until tomorrow March, and we have time. Wang You said confidently, and then saw that his words suddenly changed, and said in a stern tone, "Since you said that the girl named Guo Xiang wants to send Yin'er to the army, and the Nine Emperors have no objection, we will follow his thoughts, and tomorrow you will send Wang Yin to the army and let him join the army." β
"Father, you are-" Wang Wenhe was surprised, he was in order to prevent Wang Yin from being assigned to the army, so he pleaded with Guo Xiang in a low voice, and now his father wanted to send his nephew to the army in person.
"Haven't you seen it yet? We seem to have let Yin'er go and not pursue his crimes, but in fact, he has already caught Yin'er in his hands, so why bother to pursue Yin'er's crimes? And at this time, if we don't send Wang Yin to the army and keep him away from King's Landing, I am afraid that he will be used by the Nine Emperor Princes at that time. Wang You was a little dissatisfied with his son's sluggishness.
After listening to his father's explanation, Wang Wenhe suddenly thought of Guo Xiang's request that Wang Yin agreed to in order to prevent himself from being assigned to the army, and his face suddenly became a little gloomy, "I didn't expect to be used by him!" β
"That's why it's not easy for a father to say that the Nine Emperors are not simple!" Wang You glanced at his son meaningfully and said faintly.
"Father, don't worry, I will send Wang Yin to the army early tomorrow morning!" Wang Wenhe said unwillingly.
"Yes! Wen He, you must know that the struggle for power cannot be without sacrifice, and sometimes it is worth sacrificing for the sake of the greater good, and you must not have the idea of a woman's kindness in the future. Wang You began to teach Wang Wenhe.
Wang Wenhe was silent, as if he was thinking about what Wang You said, and after a long time, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he bowed down and replied, "Thank you for your father's teaching, my son knows the truth." β
β¦β¦
Also in the Li Mansion, in Li Muzhi's study, Li You was introducing everything that happened to his father Li Muzhi after he arrived at Ji Qingchen's mansion.
Li Muzhi is over sixty years old, and the wrinkles on his face make him look old, but his eyes are embarrassed, and decades of fighting on the battlefield have made him have a killing atmosphere, even if he is deliberately restrained in the study, his words and deeds are majestic and majestic, making people dare not stare at it.
After listening to his son's narration quietly, he suddenly asked, "Then tell me, what kind of person is the Nine Emperor Prince Ji Qingchen?" β
Li You pondered for a moment, and then replied, "The Nine Emperor Princes, Ji Qingchen, is modest and kind, but his scheming is not deep enough, and he is a little cowardly, and he lacks assertiveness, so he is not a person who has achieved great things. β
"So, you still haven't really seen him clearly!" Li Muzhi sighed and said, "Have you ever heard his poem in King's Landing today?" β
"Su Su went north to swear to destroy Rong, and the lion swallowed away with 100,000 anger. Try to see the trench thrown into the whip, don't believe in the Central Plains, don't believe in Yan. Did my father say this poem? Li You replied respectfully after finishing Ji Qingchen's poem at the corner of the street.
"Yes, this is it. Do you think that the person who can write such heroic and imposing poetry will be a cowardly and unassertive person? Li Muzhi squinted his eyes and asked his son.
"This, my son also thinks that this poem is very heroic, with a killing and imposing momentum. It's just that the person who can write such a poem is not necessarily ......" Li You still insisted on his opinion, but before his words were finished, Li Muzhi interrupted him and asked, "Do you know that Lu Dao is a father and a father, why would he specifically ask you this question?" β
Li You shook his head slightly and said, "My son doesn't know what to do." β
"You'er, you are neither as brave as your eldest brother, nor as resourceful as your third brother, proficient in officialdom, you only like to read on weekdays, and you don't like to be famous in the imperial examination. Li Muzhi said earnestly, "However, he is not like you during the Long March, and you can't ask him to live the same life as you, so my father decided to send him to the army tomorrow and let him join the army." β
"βSon, obey my father's orders!" Li You's face changed color for a moment, and he immediately replied after a pause.
"What? Don't you have any doubts in your heart? Or do you have doubts in your heart and don't dare to ask? Li Muzhi quietly looked at his cowardly son in front of him and asked.
"Son doesn't dare!" Li You replied.
"Hey!" Li Muzhi sighed and said, "I did this for my father because I heard you say that the realization of the Long March in the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion and found that he was still a child who could bend and stretch and know how to forbear, so I decided to send him to the army to hone and see if he had any potential worthy of our Li family's cultivation." β
Li You was stunned for a moment, a little unable to believe what he heard, although he was said to be the son of Li Muzhi, he was not the son of Li Muzhi's wife Sun, but the concubine born to the concubine, so his status in the Li Mansion was far less than that of the elder brother Li Yong and his younger brother Li Yu born to the Sun family, because of this reason, his character was a little cowardly, and he was unwilling to fight with his brother and younger brother for anything, so he was not valued in the Li Mansion together with his son Li Changzheng. Unlike the two sons of the elder brother Li Yong and the younger brother Li Yong, who were fully cultivated by their father Li Muzhi and had already been sent to Yulin Ride, now when he heard his father say that he wanted to see his son's potential and wanted to cultivate him, Li You said a little excitedly, "Thank you father, my son thanked my father for the Long March." β
"Thank you, the Long March is also my grandson, don't I want to see him promising?" Seeing his son's ecstatic appearance, Li Muzhi said angrily.
Li You's old face flushed, and he smiled, not knowing what the book was good about, and he looked a little cramped and uneasy when facing his father.
"If you don't have anything to do, go down, remember to talk to Long March at night, it's your fault why he became what he is today, you are not good at discipline and too much doting on him, remember to discipline him well in the future, and don't let him go out and mess around again." Li Muzhi said in a stern tone.
"My son understands! , Please rest assured that my son will definitely educate him strictly in the future, and will not let him do anything to insult my Li lintel outside. Hearing his father's reprimand, Li Youyi immediately bowed down and said.
"Let's go down!" Li Muzhi waved his hand impatiently to his son.
Li You said goodbye to his father and bowed down and exited the study.
After Li You left the study, Li Muzhi in the study pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he secretly said to himself, "Since you have this ambition, the old man will put some treasure on you, you won't let the old man lose all his blood!" β
