Even if Jiang Nuan avoided this matter very much, Father-in-law Yuan took it to heart thoroughly.

When I returned to the study, I immediately flew the pigeon to the capital.

In the side courtyard, An Ge Lao never understood what Ji Xuan's move meant, and couldn't help but walk around the courtyard.

"Keep spinning in circles, don't you get dizzy?" Liu An couldn't help but speak, "I'm sorry for you." ”

"Don't make a noise, I'm thinking about things."

"Have you come up with a clue?"

"No," An Qingyun stopped, sat on the chair next to him, took a sip of tea to moisten his lips, and then expressed his doubts, "I always feel that Xiao Yuanzi's previous words implied something. ”

"Is there any news from the capital?"

"Not so fast, as early as noon tomorrow."

"But it's not a way for you to guess like that."

"What then? What are your thoughts? ”

Liu An lowered his eyes, kept turning his brain, and said uncertainly, "Why don't you go and ask Madame for help?" ”

"Can it work?" Elder An Ge was very hesitant, "Mrs. Protector, she is not suitable for meddling in the affairs of the court." ”

The status is already respected enough, if it interferes in the government again, seriously endangering the imperial power, the saint will not allow it, and the civil and military officials will not allow it.

"Try it," Liu An's attitude was very casual, "Anyway, you can't think of any good way, maybe there will be a turnaround." ”

"Well, let's try."

When he learned that An Ge Lao was coming, Jiang Nuan was actually ready to hide.

This kind of major event in the court is actually not suitable for mixing.

However, An Gelao's experience is really sympathetic, and he has already walked out, thinking about it and turning back.

"Madam, please help the old man."

"But you want to know the purpose of the saint?"

"Yes, the old man can't figure out what the saint wants to do."

"The imperial examination system has suffered a backlash from the family, and public opinion has counterattacked, An Ge is always a giant Confucian in the world, a leader of hundreds of officials, and he wants you to write a letter to snipe at them."

Jiang Nuan didn't hide it, and said it directly and cleanly.

This matter will have to be faced sooner or later, even if he doesn't say it now, he can guess it when the news from the capital comes.

It's better to pick it up now and let him plan early.

"How so?"

An Ge Lao was almost fainted by Jiang Nuan's words, "This pavilion has already hid here, why don't you still refuse to let this pavilion live?"

Holy Lord, what is this Pavilion sorry for you? ”

Under the big blow, An Ge Lao has doubts about life.

He really didn't understand why he had encountered such cruel things.

Jiang Nuan didn't make a sound, quietly watched An Ge Lao vent, and waited for him to calm down before he slowly spoke, "You should think about it differently." ”

"How?"

"On the surface, this is because the Holy Lord has pushed you to a desperate situation, but it is not deliberately leaving you a glimmer of life."

"What's the explanation?"

"As a king, the saint is qualified and very ambitious, the family is constantly expanding, and it has threatened the imperial power, and there will be a battle between the two sides!"

"How did it get to this?" An Qingyun was shocked, "The big Monday is calm, why shouldn't it!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Nuan covered up her embarrassment.

It really didn't come to this point, and it was catalyzed by myself.

Ji Xuan has more and more things to master, his ambition is naturally getting bigger and bigger, and his tolerance for the family's door valve is getting lower and lower, so it is not surprising to do it.

"It's imperative, you still have to think about how to choose, it's absolutely impossible to escape, the family will not give you this opportunity, and the saint will not tolerate this kind of thing.

A side must be chosen. ”

In fact, there is no choice, Jiang Nuan sighed secretly.

Choosing a king, there is still a glimmer of life.

Even if the family will fight back, it will only be a dead branch, be careful, and it will not make any big waves, at most the reputation in the literary world is worse.

On the contrary, after Ji Xuan cripples the family, it will be the end of An Qingyun.

Jiang Nuan never doubted Ji Xuan's ability, a person with a thick face and a black heart and a hard wrist, if he wants to do something, there will always be a time when he succeeds, sooner or later.

Elder An Ge also understood this, and asked resentfully, "Madame thinks there are still options in this pavilion?" ”

"Of course, if you want to die, no one can stop you."

"Madame's mouth," An Ge Lao choked indistinctly, "It's really unforgiving." ”

"You'd better go back and think about how to write the essay."

Hearing this, An Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "As soon as the text comes out, this pavilion may be left stinking for 10,000 years." ”

"Not necessarily, but I think you can go down in history."

"Impossible, tens of thousands of scholars can set the old man on the pillar of shame with one stroke."

"But you have taken the righteousness," Jiang Nuan's expression was solemn, and his voice was not in a hurry, "This world can be the world of kings or the world, and it is impossible to become the world of literati alone." ”

"What do you mean by that?" An Ge Lao didn't quite understand this sentence, "Could it be that there are too few literati?" ”

"No, it has nothing to do with quantity, but they must be attached to other things, if they don't have the king's authorization, they will become useless scholars," Jiang Nuan put down the teacup and continued to speak, "On the contrary, even without them, the people can still be self-sufficient, and the merchants can still communicate with each other." ”

"That's an interesting statement."

"In short, people without papers, or family valves, can only represent themselves, not the whole world, as long as you are meritorious to the people, future generations will inevitably repay you fairly."

After saying this, Jiang Nuan left directly.

She has already broken the truth and told it in pieces, if An Ge Lao is still stubborn, the gods can't get old to him, let alone his own god.

However, after all, he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, no matter how he chooses, he will not lose his life, which is also a blessing in misfortune.

After Jiang Nuan left, An Ge Lao sat on the chair and pondered.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that her words made sense.

However, it is still difficult to choose in my heart.

His protégés are all over the world, and most of them belong to the children of the family, and he personally inserted a knife into the chest of these people, frankly speaking, he couldn't bear it.

What's more, taking people short of hand, for decades, has not taken the filial piety of others.

"Hey, why do you have to go this far?" An Ge Lao was very troubled, "This Pavilion has withdrawn from the vortex, why can't we forget this Pavilion?" ”

Suddenly, the thought of resigning from the government arose.

He still has a trace of sanity, even if Jiang Nuan says it is out of the blue, he understands that he can't believe it all.

No matter what you say, it is a fact that he wields a sword, and even if he leaves a name in history, it will definitely have a mixed reputation.

But he has long been accustomed to the status above ten thousand people, and if he really wants to give it up, he will not be reconciled.

Even if he is dizzy, he understands that Da Zhou is about to create a prosperous era, and if he gives up at this time, it will be the biggest failure in his life, and there is no one.

"There's really no choice!"

After thinking twice, he couldn't find a way to get the best of both worlds, and An Ge Lao had to give up.

"Maybe that's fate!"

Fortunately, he donated his family property, which contains most of the filial piety, and it is not counted as slaughtering while eating.
