Chapter 159: Mountain Rain is Coming
After some tossing, such a farce finally came to an end.
The children of those families did not expect that on the second day after Yu Hua returned to the capital, he would be involved in the battle between the noble family and the Ji family in the capital.
Although they failed to fight with Ji Yuan in the end, and did not make the contradictions intensify, they still gained a lot when they came to the Ji family this time, that is, they learned about Yu Hua's attitude.
Judging from Yu Hua's performance today, if they plan to openly deal with the Ji family, Yu Hua may not ignore it.
Although Yu Hua knew that there was not much he could do in his own capacity, as long as he intervened, this matter would become extremely complicated.
Under such circumstances, the other families in the capital would not dare to act rashly.
They were originally going to be cautious, using Ji Yuan as a breakthrough to provoke the Ji family, so that they couldn't bear it anymore, and they fought against these cannon fodder.
Then, after the family behind them took action, and after gaining a public opinion advantage, they would start to attack the Ji family, so the advantage was that even if the final war stopped because of the opinions of the above, they would not be affected too much.
All in all, as long as Yu Hua is in the capital now, and his appointment and future position have not been determined, those families will not dare to make a move against the Ji family and Ji Yuan again.
They need to worry about Yu Hua taking advantage of the situation.
After listening to Ji Yuan's explanation, Yu Hua also had a deeper understanding of the current situation of the Ji family.
He knew that there wasn't much he could do, but he wanted to help, because Ji Yuan had helped him before.
At that time, when he was arrested and imprisoned, and no one in the entire capital except Chen Xichu cared about him anymore, it was Ji Yuan who stood up and begged his grandfather to excuse him.
Although his approach did not work, Yu Hua wrote down the kindness of that time.
For such a small favor, if he can help Ji Yuan, Yu Hua will naturally not refuse.
"Brother Yu, thank you this time. With you here, they shouldn't dare to come again, but if you return to the capital, it won't be long before the appointment will come down, and then these are the same guarantees. ”
Ji Yuan befriended Yu Hua at that time, that is, he hoped that Yu Hua would be able to help when the Ji family was in danger.
And his purpose has obviously been achieved, and now that the Ji family is in an unprecedented crisis, in the face of these children of the family who provoked him, Yu Hua stood up for himself.
This is what Ji Yuan didn't expect at the time, but he has always looked forward to it.
However, he also knew that such a situation could not last.
Yu Hua's appointment always had to come down, and at that time, he lost the security on the surface, and he also lost the deterrence of other families.
Whether he chooses to stand with the Ji family or put aside the relationship, it will be related to the position he has confirmed.
is not careful, it is the end of the Ji family's demise.
Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Yu Hua also sighed.
He didn't expect that the situation in the Ji family would be so tense, and he was no longer a child in two lives.
In such a situation, he can see that his so-called identity of Hanlin is actually not very useful, and in the face of the Ji family that is about to collapse, all he can do is to hold on for a while.
It will only be for a while, and the moment when you are powerless to help will come soon.
"Brother Ji was kind to me before, if I can help, I will definitely help!"
Ji Yuan's intention to recruit himself at the beginning, Yu Hua naturally knew it.
While he sees himself as a friend, he also covets his potential.
Now that the Ji family is in trouble, it is already a great grace to stand up and carry it for them for a while.
Under the offset of the two, there is nothing wrong with saying that no one owes anyone.
If he was just alone, there would be no problem for Yu Hua to do anything, but now, there is Chen Xichu and the Chen family by his side.
His idea was that if the Ji family was really in trouble, and finally reached the point where it could not be alleviated, he would try his best to ensure Ji Yuan's safety.
He recognized Ji Yuan as a friend, but it didn't mean that he wanted to be a gunman for the Ji family, sacrificing himself to win life for the Ji family.
"I'm afraid there aren't many things that my Ji family can help, this time it's a favor for my brother, if my Ji family falls, I only hope that Brother Yu can fulfill my last wish for me." ”
The reality is cruel, in this world where martial arts are respected, everything has to be spoken by strength.
Whether it was Ji Yuan before or Yu Hua now, their strength was very limited, it was impossible for them to disobey Emperor Tenglong's orders, and the only thing they could do was to fulfill each other's wishes.
When Yu Hua heard this, he nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Brother Ji, if there is that day, I will definitely live up to my mission." ”
Looking at the already somewhat withered courtyard, the faces of the two of them were a lot darker.
The children of the family who came to make trouble had already left, and seeing that calm had returned here, Ji Yuan also asked those family guards to return to where they should go.
The two of them were about to ask someone to prepare food and drink, and eat and drink, when the guards came to report.
"Little young master, there is a person named Wen Changlin who asks to see you. ”
Hearing this name, Ji Yuan was stunned, and then he looked at Yu Hua, as if asking his opinion.
Wen Changlin, this name is very familiar, it is Yu Hua's teacher when he was in the martial arts academy.
Only, why did he come here?
"Go and invite him in!"
After a while, the guard walked in with a person, who was none other than the Scribe who had not been seen for a long time.
A teacher for one day, a teacher for life. Although Wenshi was no longer his teacher, Yu Hua still bowed respectfully.
"Writer. ”
There was no greeting between the two parties, and Ji Yuan asked straight to the point: "What is the matter with the Wenshi coming to my Ji family this time?"
The Ji family can now be said to be full of wind and rain, and danger may arise at any time, in such a situation, every passerby on the road will choose to take a detour to avoid here.
It's rare for someone to come and visit.
Maybe it's because the Ji family has lost power now, or maybe because of the current identity of the literary teacher, he no longer needs to care about these officialdom things, he just nodded in response, and then turned his head to Yu Hua and said, "Yu Hua, Liu Lao sent me to you, he wants to see you!"
If Liu Lao wants to see him, Yu Hua must have no possibility of refusing, and of course, he can't refuse.
Now in the capital, there are big forces that can keep the Ji family, and Liu Lao may be regarded as one.
Of course, he would definitely not do this, in the face of the rebels, he could have solved it easily, but he also stood by and let Yu Hua deal with it.
Liu Lao suddenly came to him, because it would definitely not be a trivial matter for the Ji family, so in other words, it has something to do with him.
The two glanced at each other, but Ji Yuan did not stop him, and let Yu Hua leave the Ji family with the teacher.
Along the way, the Wenshi was silent, as if Yu Hua was just an insignificant figure, and the Wenshi was just a disciple in charge of introduction, and the two had no previous connection.
Following a familiar path, Yu Hua came to Liu Lao's residence in the martial arts courtyard.
No matter how the Tenglong Martial Academy has changed during this time, as a martial saint Liu Lao, his status is unquestionable, and his identity will not change in any way.
Walking to the courtyard, the scholar stopped, and he motioned to Yu Hua to let him in by himself.
Without hesitation, Yu Hua knew that Liu Lao would not harm himself, so he pushed the door in.
"You're back?"
Liu Lao, who was sitting in the room, was like an old man who had lost much life, and when he saw Yu Hua coming in, he said lightly.
This kind of old Liu, Yu Hua has already seen it I don't know how many times, he didn't care: "Well, I received an edict from His Majesty the Emperor calling me back to the capital." ”
"Oh, then do you know what his purpose is to let you return to the capital?"
As if hearing a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, Liu Lao continued to ask without the slightest concern.
"Intentions?"
Yu Hua also didn't know why he was suddenly called to the capital, but he knew that if he wasn't there, his good brother Ji Yuan might never see him again.
"Is it because I have made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion that I was transferred back to the capital?"
The only reason that Yu Hua can think of is this, and this is also the reason given by the official, of course, there are probably not too many people who believe in it.
It was still Liu Lao's disapproving words: "Is there a merit in counterinsurgency? Even you don't believe it! Such a small merit, even if you report there on weekdays, it will not cause a little concern." What's more, you haven't really done much!"
Yu Hua naturally knew that he returned to the capital not because of his own merits.
These rebels did not have much impact, they were just some exiles, and the local governors might reward themselves, but it was unlikely that they would go up to the court.
He waited for Liu Lao to explain the true reason for all this.
"The credit will definitely not be because of such a little credit, as for letting you return to the capital this time, I'm afraid you have a place to use it again. ”
Liu Lao paused for a moment before continuing: "As for what you are for, I may know something, but I don't want to tell you, you will know soon, and besides, it is not for you to decide. I called you this time, not to make small talk with you, but to remind you. The outside world is bigger than you imagined, and your talent is definitely not only to the Martial Saint, you are fully capable of pursuing a higher realm. And the premise of all this is that you can't bask in the temptations of the wide world outside. ”
Liu Lao's words were a bit clueless, and Yu Hua couldn't fully understand them, but from these words, he could imagine the task he was about to be assigned.
With confusion, Yu Hua wanted to ask for more news, but when he saw Liu Lao's appearance, he could only give up.
After saying these words, Liu Lao had no intention of opening his mouth, and seeing this, Yu Hua could only leave by himself.
Walking outside the door, the literary master was also nowhere to be seen, and Yu Hua, who originally wanted to catch up with him, had to give up this plan.
He closed the courtyard door and walked outside the martial arts courtyard.
After walking for a short time, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
"Yu Hua, you are really here. ”
The person who came turned out to be the national teacher of the Tenglong Kingdom, and Yu Hua was very surprised to see the person who came.
"National teacher, why are you here? Also, are you looking for me?"
The current Yu Hua can be said to be in the center of the whirlpool, in such a situation, many families want to make friends, but they don't dare to get too close, for fear of being drawn into the whirlpool.
As a national teacher, his status in the imperial court of the capital can be said to be very high and plays a pivotal role.
When he came to see him, it was likely that he represented the person on the dragon chair.
If people from other families know that the national teacher came to find him, I am afraid that he will have to re-examine his identity and the meaning of the one above when he returns to the capital this time.
Of course, these should be things that those families should consider, and at this time, Yu Hua saw the national teacher looking for him, and some of them were just full of surprise.
"Yes, I was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to find the Ji family all the way, but I was told that you had been taken away by the Wenshi. After thinking about it, I thought that you might have been brought here, but I didn't expect to actually meet you. ”
Yu Hua didn't know why the national teacher was in such a hurry to find him, and he didn't know what the one on the dragon chair wanted to do.
Without hiding his thoughts, Yu Hua asked directly: "What is the matter with the national teacher looking for me this time?"
He returned to the capital because of the emperor's edict, and because of his meritorious work in quelling the rebellion, so if there is no accident, if he comes to himself again, it is also a matter of promotion.
However, seeing that the national teacher came to the door and learned that he would be appointed nine times out of ten, Yu Hua was not happy at all.
There is no other reason, it is the current situation of the Ji family.
The reason why those big families have scruples about themselves and don't dare to directly attack the Ji family is because their current identity has not been determined, and they have no way of knowing the opinion of the Emperor of the Tenglong Kingdom on the Ji family.
And once appointed, they can easily see the emperor's attitude from the position they have been appointed, and in such a situation, they can easily find a way to deal with it.
It can be said that once he is appointed to the position and the situation stabilizes, the end of the Ji family is approaching.
Yu Hua, who knows this, how can he still be in a good mood?
However, this is not something he can control, and Yu Hua also knows in his heart that he can have such a prestige, completely relying on the emperor's attitude.
As long as the emperor of the Tenglong Kingdom officially stated his position, no matter what position he was appointed, the result would be the same.
"I'm here to find you this time to explain to you about the job transfer!"
Hearing the affirmation of the national teacher, Yu Hua's face became even more ugly.
He was not mistaken, it was indeed this matter, although he was very reluctant to accept such a result, but at this time, he could only listen quietly.
However, the national teacher did not have any plans to explain directly, so he kept silent and took Yu Hua to another place.
It was the restaurant I came to when I was looking for him last time, the restaurant where the real magnates in the capital could come.
Coming here, Yu Hua is also truly sure that the direct appointment must have a great relationship with the life and death of the Ji family, otherwise the national teacher would not need to be so cautious.
Like last time, after the two started talking, there was no one around.
"National teacher, can you talk about it now? I've been newly appointed to my position. Yu Hua asked.
"His Majesty the Emperor has two edicts, the first of which is to cancel your position as a Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy. ”
The national teacher spoke, the news was unexpected by Yu Hua, but he still chose to continue listening.
"The second way is for you to make a choice!"
