Chapter 212: The Filial Son and the Evil Son

"Father, this case ............"

In Yan Liu's study in Yan Mansion, Yan Xinglu, who pushed the door in, looked tired, he drank all night with Kuang Xiaofeng and other friends last night, and he didn't report to the cabinet today, and now he knows about the Chunqiu fraud case.

"It's nothing wrong with you! How do I teach you on weekdays, drinking is wrong, drinking less is better, getting drunk, what is it like! Yan Liu pressed one hand on the corner of the bookcase, and with the other hand, his wrist flipped up and rested on the list of the bookcase, with cinnabar red marks on his upturned index finger, and red handprints were printed next to several names on the list.

These more than 40 names will determine the stability of the court and the future of Oga, and as an official who is investigating this case, he must be cautious.

Thinking that his current situation is all because of the unfortunate son in front of him, and this son actually refused the emperor's marriage last time without repentance, he is not angry as a father.

"Yes, the boy wrote it down! Father, what is the progress of General Shen's case? "Rao Su is half of Yan Liu's student, and in a big case like this, Yan Liu knows more things than he knows.

The poisoning case is also a tricky case, seeing that Rao Su is sad every day, Yan Liu is even more resentful in his heart, a good court, but they all like to intrigue and fight for me, and it is not them who are the criminal officers who handle the case! "You are in the cabinet, what does the matter of the Governor's Mansion have anything to do with you, speaking of which, don't you want to ask how Princess Rui is? How did I give birth to such a son of yours! ”

"Father............ The Holy Ancestor said that civil and military families are not separated, General Shen is a great general, why can't I care about it as a colleague when I suffer from this calamity, I am your son, why do you think of me so badly! Yan Xinglu, who had been speechless by Yan Liu for several months, didn't know where it came from, and the loud counterattack made Yan Liu, who was angrily knocking on the bookcase, roll up his sleeves and walked in front of Yan Xinglu in two steps.

"You're still ignoring you!"

"Father, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, I'm reasoning with you, you beat me but it's a barbarian, and it doesn't match your identity as a dignified Penglai Pavilion scholar, and the martial arts training will make people laugh!"

"I won't beat you today, I'll write the word Yan Liu upside down. Cheung Chau, Zeping, closed! Yan Liu angrily rolled up the sleeve of his other hand, walked to the bookshelf, and picked up the wooden stick.

"Master, the young master is drinking and talking nonsense, don't be angry with him, Zeping ......" Changzhou and Zeping made a look, and it was the panicked Zeping who immediately nodded and flashed out of the house and hurriedly went to find Mrs. Yan who was scattered in the backyard.

"Father, don't forget that you were also deeply affected by this wooden stick back then, as a literati, you should know that it is reasonable to move with emotion, force, it will only produce oppression, oppression will lead to resistance, resistance and violence, this is the next policy! Whew........................"

"How much ability do you have, I will actually teach you Lao Tzu, the pain I received back then, today is just for you to accept well. Cheung Chau, you let go! ”

"Master, you can't beat it!" Cheung Chau clung to the stick.

Yan Xinglu covered his aching buttocks, and the smell of alcohol disappeared.

"It's all the other way around, the son I gave birth to, I can't hit it twice? If you don't let go, I'll fight you together! Yan Liu took out the posture of the trial that year and kicked Changzhou away.

The wooden stick held high was about to fall, and Mrs. Yan had already appeared at the door of the house.

"What son you gave birth to, obviously I was pregnant and born in October, you fight, kill to see who will send you to the end! My Fair Lady and Gentleman are good, compared to those sons who spend all their time drinking and messing with flowers, how many times stronger is our son, and growing up so big is just doing a wrong thing, I hear you talking every day, do you want to make everyone know? ”

Yan Liu put down the wooden stick weakly, and returned to the bookcase without saying a word with a gloomy face.

"Where's the fight?" Mrs. Yan, who loved her son, hurriedly arrived at Yan Xinglu's side.

Yan Xinglu, who was woken up by a stick, lowered his head guiltily, his momentary spirit, in exchange for not a beautiful flower, but a shackle that firmly locked his father, in the past, his father acted without guilt, but now he has to obey others because of his fault, he knows to understand his father's anger, he does not regret the escape, but he will be ashamed of his father for the rest of his life.

"There are so many mistakes, I shouldn't have done it at the beginning, and now I have hurt my father, if my father is in trouble, I will go to King Rui now."

"What are you going to do with him! What can you do with a little cabinet review! Do you still want to die! Do I send a white-haired man to a black-haired man? How could I have such a son of law as you! The stick thumped against the bookcase, and the rickety pen stand was shaken off the paperweight and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Father, children are not filial!"

He has only done one wrong thing in this life, and now he is still wrong, he is having an illusory dream, and the dream is very long.

"What can I do now! I'm just a son like you, can I still watch you die! Do you have to wait until a hundred years from now? Go down, all of you, and let me be quiet! ”

"Lu'er, let's go out and let your father be quiet." Mrs. Yan pinched a handful of tears sadly, took Yan Xinglu's hand, Yan Xinglu lowered his head melancholy, gritted his teeth and walked out of the room.

The door of the house was closed heavily, and he turned his head to look back, and at the end of the door there was a depressed back holding a bookcase, one was his father, and the other was unrealistic love, he had done a lot for her, and his father had done a lot for him, and he had hoped to get a little reward to comfort his heart, but his father never thought of returning. He's a man, but he's the man's son.

What to do, what to do, he had to come to his senses.

Mrs. Yan clenched the hand in her arms that was about to break free, and said in a panic: "Lu'er, where are you going?" ”

"Go find Xiaofeng." Yan Xinglu didn't exert himself, but Ren's mother hugged his hand tightly, he was born in the Yan family, imagine that in the past 20 years, in addition to being obedient, he has never done a thing for his parents, his parents are old, the green silk is gradually growing gray hair, the forehead and the corners of the eyes are wrinkled, and the strength of holding his arms is not as good as before, this is the parents who ask for themselves! How could he make them flourish again? Disturbing them in their old age?

"If you want to ask them to drink, your mother will ask them to come, you just stay at home and don't go anywhere!" The meat that fell from her stomach, how could Mrs. Yan not know how uncomfortable her son, who had always been filial, was now.

"It's okay! I told them I was going to be there today! If you don't feel at ease, just let Uncle De accompany me! ”

Mrs. Yan thought about it, thinking that her son was stubborn, she couldn't just care about her son losing her husband, and with Lao De by her side, there should be no mistakes.

The easiest thing to deceive is his parents, Yan Xinglu This is the second time to deceive, compared to the first time he felt guilty and uneasy, but this time he was more calm, and left Yan's mansion, he took the housekeeper all the way to Kuang Xiaofeng's house, where there were many scholars who were named on the gold list of the meeting.

Yan Xinglu walked into the crowd, Uncle De followed him every inch, and soon someone noticed this, except for a few of these scholars who came out of the Zhumen High Court, most of them were like Kuang Xiaofeng or even far inferior to Kuang Xiaofeng's poor scholars, in the past, Yan Xinglu went out without slaves, and it was also because he was rich and not arrogant that he got the real respect of these people, and Kuang Xiaofeng made a look, and the friends who met almost every day during this period of time understood what Yan Xinglu meant, when he turned into the back room, Kuang Xiaofeng shouted at the scholars and rushed up, pulling Uncle De to drink with him.

A small courtyard like the Kuang family only needs two doors to come out, and Yan Xinglu, who has the sky above his head again, has already appeared in the small alley at the back door of the Kuang family, which is only four streets and three alleys away from the Rui Wang's Mansion.

He has been hiding behind his father cowardly for a long time, and if he doesn't stand up now, he may not have a chance in the future.

The road was very long, longer than his dream, he walked through the silent alleys, walked through the crowded streets, walked through the cold and warmth of the exchange of sunlight and darkness, came to the front of the Rui Wang's Mansion, and walked into the Rui Wang's Mansion.

Ning Zhiyuan was in a daze in Huai Yuju's study, and when he heard Qin Huai's advice, he let Yan Xinglu walk into the study.

Qin Huai had already retreated beyond the threshold.

"Elder Yan Ge asked you to come to me?" Looking at the person in front of him who was very different from the gentle and elegant Yan Xinglu in the past, Ning Zhiyuan sneered, the father and son of the Yan family have always been in his hands, although the reason he used to threaten them would make every husband feel ashamed, and now although the most critical person is not in the mansion, he is still holding the thread.

"I came on my own! Solve that incident with you last year in Ai! ”

He was not afraid when he walked over, but now he saw the most hated in his heart, and he was not afraid, he straightened his waist and stood on the blanket in the study, without the free and easy recklessness of generous death, nor the anger and anger, he stood calmly, as elegant as ever.

"What happened in Ai?" Ning Zhiyuan smiled: "How to solve it?" ”

"I am innocent with her, don't humiliate her anymore, my father is innocent, don't embarrass him anymore, all the faults are on me, you want to beat or scold, kill or chop, you can deal with it!"

"Tsk............ It's her who speaks, how can I believe in your innocence? ”

One sits and one stands, one is indifferent and one is calm, the spring breeze is warm, and there is no tense atmosphere in the conversation between the two.

"How can you believe?"

"I had planned to let my father marry Ning Xiao Xu to you, what a great honor and a good thing, but you refused! You don't want to get married, for what? How can I believe in your innocence with her? ”

"When I go back, I'll get married!"

"I once said that you and her will never see each other again, last year you came to the Rui Wang's Mansion once, looked up at Jiuhou under the willows outside the imperial city, and bought a lantern in the east of the city opposite her."

"When I go back, I will submit my resignation and leave the capital!"

"Even if you do, I won't believe you! I have never believed what I have seen, the Chunqiu fraud case has been ready to be sent, Yan Ge has always been my respected predecessor, as long as this time, I will return his freedom, and then, you come! ”

"Me?"

"You were famous when you were young, and the crown is unmatched, three years ago I took two exams and handed in a blank paper and got the second grade, if it wasn't for the illness that I couldn't participate in the palace exam, how could the name of the champion be aside, first you are in the cabinet, everyone praises you for your talent in handling things like Lu Shoufu, as long as you want, being young is not much of a problem!"

"Chunfu has always been operated by people in the dark, why did you uncover this matter, you know that once the results of the fraud case are invalidated, how many people's efforts will be in vain, and how many people will have a bleak future, how can you ruin the road of the world's scholars because of your own selfish desires!"

"Chunfu should be the threshold for your scholars to step into the official career, and it should be fair and just, didn't you just give up the exam because of Chunqiu's injustice? Why are you defending them now? ”

"What is the prince's sin? He is a virtuous corporal who loves the people, even if he does this little thing wrong, he will be a wise king in the future, are you confident that you can do better than him? ”

"He is the crown prince, this is the original sin!"

"Excuses, ridiculous." Yan Xinglu's smooth brows furrowed, and he waved his sleeves and hands, raising his head like the saints he had seen, disdainful of making eye contact with those two great rebellions. "The crown prince is canonized by the emperor, are you saying that the emperor is wrong?"

"He's just wrong! A lot of things are wrong! ”

The emperor was wrong at the beginning, since he wanted to be ruthless, he had to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and since he wanted to set up a prince, he had to send them, the vassal kings, out of the capital.

"The Son does not say what the Father does."

"Wrong is wrong, I never deceive myself!"

"Then you can kill me!"

"Dead people are of no use, why should I kill you?"

He stared at Yan Xinglu who was holding his head high in front of him, Yan Xinglu's behavior does have the style of a gentleman, but in the court, the style of a gentleman is just a burden, no one will care whether to win beautiful or ugly, the most important thing is to win, win by any means, the era of the Holy Ancestor's concerted efforts and dedication has passed, with monstrous power, who doesn't want to let the people around him ascend to heaven and let himself get more power? Man's greed knows no bounds.

The crown prince is down, and King Chao, Yan Liu is one of his important helpers, how can he be willing to let go?

Ning Zhiyuan said very bluntly, Yan Xinglu was speechless for a while, he could die, but if Ning Zhiyuan didn't lose this breath, his father would also become his puppet, he found out for the first time that the colleague in front of him was such a cold-blooded and unscrupulous person, how could she be happy if she married such a husband?

……………………

A sedan chair, entered Liudong Street, the sedan chair man moved quickly regardless of the sedan chair and walked forward steadily, Xu's mother walked quickly with a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on her forehead, panting, but did not fall behind, the sedan chair followed by four rough women, the footsteps were vigorous, and it was effortless to follow the sedan chair.

The nursing home in front of King Rui's Mansion is still the same people as before, and there can only be one person who can let Mother Xu protect her like this. The sharp-eyed nurse immediately ran into the house and hung a couplet that was blown down by the wind last night with the family who was directing the family.

Hearing the news of the princess's return to the house, the housekeeper who was holding the hammer and looking at the sky with his waist widened, and immediately dropped the hammer and went to Huai Yuju to tell Qin Huai, who was guarding outside the study.

If you don't come back sooner or later, you just rushed back in a hurry at this time, and in the study, the smile on the corner of Ning Zhiyuan's mouth, who heard the news, was even colder, and Yan Xinglu didn't know what was going on, frowning grimly.

"You go and stop it, I'll finish the talk soon!"

Qin Huai clenched his fists and led the order.
