Chapter 4: The Tiger and the Wolf (7)

Parents and children are still young, and people can't look at them, but fake children are gradually becoming wings! This is almost an unsolvable situation for any hero and hero.

Far away are like Liu Bei and Liu Feng in the Three Kingdoms era, and close ones are like Li Keyong and Li Cunxiao. No matter how filial piety the father was at the beginning, in the end, he was the father and raised a bloody butcher's knife against the adopted son.

The only exception, I'm afraid that only Shi Jingjiao and Shi Chonggui, the father and son can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end. But before Shi Jingjiao's body was cold, Shi Chonggui had already forged an edict, and seized the throne with the support of Feng Dao, the minister who was ordered to entrust Gu, and Jing Yanguang, the commander of the guards, and kicked Shi Jingjiao's own son Shi Chongrui out of the palace gate.

Now, this puzzle is quietly placed in front of Guo Wei. It tests his wits and torments his soul.

Compared with Liu Feng and Li Cunxiao, Guo Rong's military exploits may not be outstanding, however, his weight in the entire family is not smaller than the previous two.

Guo Wei is an honest official, never drinks the blood of soldiers, and does not accept any filial piety from his subordinates. In the early years, the income was already stretched to maintain the family's expenses, not to mention to make good connections and recruit talents. At this time, Guo Rong, who was not yet the weak crown, stepped forward and took the caravan to the south and north of the Yangtze River under the pseudonym of Chai Daguan. not only opened up a rich financial resource for his father-in-law Guo Wei, but also single-handedly created a detailed organization that was completely under Guo's orders, the Flying Eagle Division.

Whenever Guo Wei led the army to fight, before he could fight with the enemy general, all kinds of information about the other party had already been placed next to Guo Wei's book. Whenever Guo Wei needs to socialize or reward meritorious people, as long as he opens a treasury at home, he can find all kinds of treasures from all over the world, as well as dazzling calligraphy and painting antiques, gold beads and jade.

It can be said that Guo Wei has such a career today, and his son Guo Rong has contributed a lot behind it. Far more than any of his generals, or any of his staff.

In addition, the most elite unit in Guo Wei's hands, the Xuanfeng Battalion, was also built by Guo Rong himself. Although this force is small and has been established for a very short time. However, its combat effectiveness is already obvious to all. If there is a conflict, ordinary troops must be mobilized at least five times more to compete with them. Replaced by the most well-equipped Yanai soldiers under Guo Wei's command, they must at least double the scale to avoid being beaten by them.

Therefore, Wang Jun, who thinks he is loyal and courageous, has long been wary of Guo Rongsheng. As long as there is an opportunity, he will jump out and find ways to curb Guo Rong's continued growth. And some young and up-and-coming people under Guo Wei admired the character and ability of the eldest son Guo Rong. Willing to plan for him.

Guo Wei himself is by no means mean and unkind. Knowing Wang Jun's concerns, it is not groundless. If Guo Rong's prestige and strength are allowed to continue to grow, sooner or later, he will have to make a choice between his own son and his righteous son. However, whenever he saw Guo Rong's face that was far older than his actual age, he suddenly remembered the selfless dedication of his son over the years, as well as the love between his deceased wife Chai and himself, and suddenly, all the "foresight" in his heart was left behind.

Deep down, Guo Wei was even deliberately evading, deliberately avoiding thinking about the issue of choosing an heir in the future. The eldest son, Qingge, is still young, and it is far from the time to come out to experience and check whether he can support the portal. And he himself, who is less than half a hundred years old, is neither good at drinking nor lustful in this life, and should be able to take charge of the family business for at least twenty years.

At that time, Brother Qing and Brother Yi, whether they succeed or not, will already be able to make a conclusion. If any of the two brothers has similar skills to Guo Rong and Guo Jungui, of course he can send Jungui out to stand on his own. If the brothers are not successful, in that case, it is better to hand it over to Jungui than to wait for the Guo family to be swallowed by others. At least he will think about his adoptive father, who treats him as his own, so that the two brothers, Brother Qing and Brother Yi, will have no worries about food and clothing, and go through their lives peacefully.

However, Guo Wei's thoughts are a little too wishful. First of all, a number of old brothers led by Wang Jun scoffed at his "indecisiveness". In the eyes of these people, since Guo Wei has come to this point, his foundation no longer belongs to him, and the old brothers who live and die together also have a share. The old brothers can shed blood for him Guo Wei and swear allegiance to his Guo Wei's grandchildren, but they can't bear to bow their knees to a foreign surname, a foreign surname that has no blood connection with Guo Wei.

Secondly, those political enemies who stand in the open and in the shadows also wish that Guo Wei would make jokes about dealing with the issue of heirs. The emperor's family has no family affection, and the princes' family is the same. Once the blood inside the Guo family is flowing, they can take the opportunity to come to the door and solve this mountain that is pressing on their heads in one fell swoop. Even if there was no bloodshed within the Guo family, Guo Wei quickly controlled the situation with thunderous means, whether Guo Rong was killed or exiled, it was equivalent to cutting off one of Guo Wei's arms. From then on, they will have a lot less fear of doing things.

Therefore, the old wolf Fu Yanqing found out that his daughter had love for Guo Rong, and immediately and decisively pushed the boat down the river.

If Guo Wei agrees to this family affair, Guo Rong will have more Taishan-like reliance on the Fu family, and the threat to Guo Wei's two biological sons will be doubled in an instant in the future.

If Guo Wei refuses, it proves that there is a rift between him and Guo Rong's father and son. This crack doesn't need to be too wide, as long as it is as thick as a hair, it will inevitably grow into a ravine that cannot be repaired by manpower!

As Guo Wei's brother-in-law and confidant, Zheng Renzhi understands Guo Wei's difficulties at this time, and can also feel the pain in the other party's heart. While Wang Jun and Wei Renpu were busy reading letters, they pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Sanniang and Siniang have already made promises, and the only one who has not been allowed is still in infancy. If it is said that the Fu family is right, it is right in Yemen. As for the gentleman, the daughter of the Fu family has just lost her husband, and it is probably not appropriate to talk about marriage now. ”

This reason is very reasonable. Suddenly, Wang Jun, who was reading the letter, took a picture of the bookcase, and called Zheng Renyu, Guo Rong and Guo Wei to echo loudly, "What Brother Rixin said is very true, the Fu family doesn't care about face, and pushes their daughter dressed in hot filial piety outside, but the Guo family can't care less! Besides, I see that the Fu girl, with a wide forehead and phoenix neck and dragon eyes, really entered the house, I am afraid that she will not be a son who is willing to teach her husband and children." The noble back house will have more rights and wrongs from now on. Therefore, for the sake of the younger generation, Wen Zhong, you still directly rejected this family affair. ”

It's rare that he didn't directly target Guo Rong, although the eight words that originally evaluated the appearance of the empress Wu Cao were deducted on Fu Ying's head without a trace. When Zheng Renzhi heard this, his eyebrows immediately jumped up a few times, and he bowed his head and said nothing. When Wei Renpu heard it in his ears, his heart suddenly trembled again, and he hurriedly put down Fu Yanqing's letter and bowed to Guo Wei: "Duke Ming, my subordinates have a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Guo Wei had already guessed that Wei Renpu would not let Wang Jun dig a pit for Guo Rong, so he raised his hand and commanded loudly.

He was born as a big-headed soldier, but he didn't read a lot of books. Especially after marrying Chai Fei back then, in order not to make those who ridiculed his wife unsightly proud, he almost took out the attitude of being admitted to the Jinshi and worked hard. Not only did the military books and war strategies memorize backwards, but all kinds of common classics on the market, as well as uncommon private secrets, as long as they had the opportunity to get in touch with them, they also read them all over with hunger. Therefore, it was not easy to contact Wu Zetian from the eight words "square forehead and wide eyes, phoenix neck and dragon eyes". Immediately, Wang Jun's insidious intentions were penetrated.

Guo Wei can tolerate Wang Jun's insidiousness, but he will not appreciate it, let alone be grateful because his starting point is to eliminate hidden dangers for the Guo family. Instead, he had to make a little sign and let Wang Jun know that there were some things that couldn't be done too much. The internal affairs of the Guo family, as the head of the family, can be handled well, and there is no need for people outside to point fingers endlessly.

And Wei Renpu did not live up to his expectations, and this time he immediately seized the opportunity and responded loudly: "Duke Xie Ming! My subordinates think that although what Wang Xuanhui said seems to be reasonable, it is inevitably unsatisfactory. How many parents can bear to delay their children's lives? The marriage between the Fu and Li families was originally forced by the situation. Now that Li Shouzhen's whole family has been punished, it is already a great luck in misfortune that the Fu family can return safely, and how can a father try to make a false name and force his daughter to keep filial piety for the Li family, and get into trouble himself? What's more, the Fu family now sits on several states and has tens of thousands of armor under his command. Even if Ming Gong does not approve of this family matter, he should change his euphemism and refuse it. How can you criticize him directly for the sake of a false name, and make a strong enemy for himself? This is a reckless and foolish ......" (Note 1)

"Ignorant junior, recuperate and take advantage of your tongue!" Before he could finish speaking, Wang Jun, who had just been named the northern envoy of the Xuanhui Yuan by the imperial court, had already burned the top door. He turned his head suddenly, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and glared angrily, "What does it mean to seem reasonable, but it is not satisfactory! The husband has just been killed, and the wife does not think about martyrdom for him, but is in a hurry to remarry, what kind of favor is this? Wang Mou's words to Wen Zhong were from the bottom of his heart. If Wen Zhong adopts it, he will naturally think of some other excuses so that the old wolf will not be too embarrassed. Why did it get into your mouth, just deliberately making enemies for Wen Zhong?"

"Wei, Wei is talking about things, not Xuanhui!" Wei Renpu had a weak temperament, and was questioned by Wang Jun with his head and face, and immediately saw sweat on his forehead again. While hiding backwards in small steps, he wiped his face and spat Xingzi to defend himself.

"Just the matter, you are also worthy? Just your rat eyes?" Wang Jun couldn't wait to take out Wei Renpu's heart, so that Guo Wei could see the sinister engraved on it clearly, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, pressing step by step.

"Junfeng, don't forget where you are at the moment!" Zheng Renyu couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted again.

This time, Wang Jun didn't want to give him face anymore, turned his head, and a pair of brooms raised their eyebrows upside down: "Rixin, Wang respects your elders, but you can't rely on the old to sell the old! You people don't have the courage to say it, Wang doesn't care, Wang is willing to jump out and be this villain. However, if you deliberately mislead Wen Zhong in order to get a good relationship......"

"Enough, Junfeng!" Guo Wei had great respect for Zheng Renzhi in his heart. Seeing that Wang Jun even scolded the latter with his mouth open, his heart immediately surged with anger, slapped the table hard, and shouted to stop.

"Wen Zhong, you ......" Wang Jun was taken aback, and turned around, angry and hateful. "You, you, actually, actually ......"

"Xiufeng, your liver fire is too strong today, it's not suitable to do anything, and retreat and rest!" Guo Wei knew that Wang Jun was loyal to him, and when he saw that this person was wronged like this, he suddenly didn't want to increase his responsibility, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"You, if you don't listen to the advice of the contrary, you will regret it sooner or later!" Wang Junwu remembered the lesson of the last time he was imprisoned in a criminal camp for reflection, and he did not dare to continue to play tricks. He threw down his sleeves and walked away.

"Ming Gong ......" Wei Renpu saw the opportunity, and hurriedly took two steps forward, eager to admonish. Unexpectedly, Guo Wei was on the fire, glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "You can also retreat, Guo's family affairs, Guo can think about it himself." I shouldn't have bothered you in the first place!"

"Yes!" Wei Renpu was bored, his face turned red, and he bowed to salute, "Subordinates retire!"

"Ming Gong, subordinates retire!" Zheng Renzhi didn't want to mix too much, and also got up and wanted to leave. Guo Wei hurriedly chased after him and grabbed his sleeve, "Big brother, slow down! Big brother should know that Guo's anger just now was not aimed at you." ”

"Alas, you yourself just said it well, this is your family affair after all, Wen Zhong!" Zheng Renzhi was called soft-hearted by the two words of the eldest brother. He could only sigh and stop, turn around and shake his head, "Not to mention intimacy, since ancient times, which advisor has participated in the lord's housework and can end up in a good end?"

"Big brother, big brother knows, I'm not the black-hearted person!" Guo Wei's old face changed color when Zheng Renzhi said it, rubbed his palms a few times, and explained in a low voice, "Therefore, I don't dare to criticize Yu Xiufeng, I understand that he wants to prevent trouble before it happens." But, but the eldest brother also knows that Guo is not a big thing in the first place. The affection of children and the kindness of husband and wife, none of them can be given up. If he can be a rich man at this moment, Guo would rather divide the family business directly into several points, one for each child, no one is many, no one is many. But, but now that the ducks have been driven to the shelves, how can the family business be divided equally?"

"Alas——! it's really hard for you!" Zheng Renzhi knew that Guo Wei was telling him the truth, so he let out a long sigh and asked in a low voice, "Since you know that Wang Xiufeng is out of loyalty, why are you, why do you never accept his advice?"

"Jungui, Jungui is not a bad boy!" Guo Wei felt sad in his heart, shook his head, and continued to tell the truth. "Although he is my adopted son, Chai and I, we have always regarded him as our own. Mo said, Mo said that he did everything in a proper manner at this time, and he was also filial to me, my father. Even if he has done anything wrong, as long as there are extenuating circumstances, I, as a father, can't bear to be harsh. How could it be possible to abandon more than ten years of family affection after listening to Xiufeng's few words?"

"Then do you believe that Jungui will behave unfilial to you with the backing of the Fu clan?" Zheng Renyu shrugged helplessly and continued to ask in a deep voice.

"When I am alive, Jungui will definitely not!" Guo Wei quickly gave an answer after a little consideration.

Chai Rong's ability, he knows it clearly. Chai Rong's character, he also knows it well. Pride is proud, even a little self-serving, but it is by no means ruthless and unjust. On the contrary, like his stepmother and aunt Chai Fei, this son is very affectionate. If you receive the grace of a drop of water, you will repay it with a spring. He has always regarded him as his own son, and he is no different from his biological father to himself.

"If you suddenly drive a crane one day, Wen Zhong, don't blame me for cursing you, people have good and bad luck, my generation has been rolling in the pile of dead people, and these should not be taboo. One day when you suddenly drove the crane west, can you be willing to live under Brother Qing or Brother Yi?" Zheng Renzhi suddenly took half a step back, his eyes blazing, and he poked at the bottom of Guo Wei's heart.

Guo Wei was seen to take two steps back, lowered his head, and did not dare to meet Zheng Renzhi's gaze.

In the study, there was a dead silence. Only the evening breeze blew in from the window, blowing Fu Yanqing's handwritten letter, like two withered petals, slowly falling to the ground.

Note 1: Wang Xuanhui, Wang Jun was named the northern envoy of the Xuanhui Yuan by the imperial court at this time. Wei Renpu called him by his official name, not respectfully, but deliberately treated him differently from the rest.
