Chapter 4: The Tiger and the Wolf (8)

"Smack!" "Smack!" The sound of the two pages touching the ground was not heavy in any way. [Full text reading.] But it was like two thunders, waking up Guo Wei and Zheng Renzhi at the same time.

"Forget it, it's time to come, you can't stop it, it's better to go with him!" Guo Wei shook his head lightly, smiled wryly and waved his hand, "Come on, summon the commanders of the pro-army in the yamen." ”

"Yes!" someone outside the door agreed, and walked away quickly. Guo Wei smiled again and turned his face to Zheng Renxue, "Let the eldest brother worry about it." Since the Fu family wants to marry their daughter to Jungui by name, let Jungui handle it himself! He is also not too young, and those of us who are elders can't make decisions for him in everything!"

In just half a pillar of incense, he seems to be four or five years older. Zheng Renzhi was heartbroken when he saw it, thought about it for a while, and whispered: "Jungui has always been a sensible child, he should be able to distinguish the importance clearly. ”

"Whether he is sensible or ignorant, no matter how he chooses today, the old man will support him!" Guo Wei smiled again, stood up, and gently moved his arms and back, as if he had just let go of a thousand pounds of burden.

"You mean even if he chooses to marry the Fu family......" Zheng Renzhi was confused by Guo Wei's sudden change of attitude. He also stood up and asked nervously.

If Guo Rong chooses to marry Fu Ying, it means that he has already had ambitions and is not willing to put his own interests under the overall interests of the Guo family. At this time, as a qualified prince, what Guo Wei needs to do should never be left to his devices. Instead, he was quickly stripped of all the power assigned to Guo Rong, and then put him under strict guard, even quietly executed. Otherwise, with Guo Rong's ability, it is not difficult to become the next Li Shimin, or Li Siyuan. (Note 1)

However, before Zheng Renzhi could express his worries, Guo Wei had already interrupted with a smile and waved his hand, "If he chooses to marry the Fu family, the old man will recommend him to the imperial court to serve as the envoy of the Anguo Festival and go out of Xingzhou." Anyway, the old man had a plan before, and after Brother Qing grew up, he would let Jungui stand on his own. Letting him go now is just a few years in advance. It won't hurt your own bones!"

"This ......" Zheng Renyu was stunned and speechless.

What Guo Wei said may be the best solution, although in the short term, the strength of the Guo family will be damaged, in the long run, it is equivalent to completely eliminating the hidden danger of the righteous son and his biological son competing for inheritance rights. Even if Guo Wei didn't wait for his two biological sons to reach adulthood in the future, he would have already died. In case the Guo family is attacked by external forces, Guo Rong has an absolute obligation to provide support to the Guo family for the sake of Guo Wei's original support. Otherwise, it will be despised by the heroes of the world.

Only those who stand by Guo Wei's side know how difficult it is for him to make such a choice. The hand-trained generals and talents have not waited for enough rewards from them to let them stand on their own. The hand-crafted treasure sword, before it can be used to kill the enemy, it will be completely out of control. Since then, father and son have become colleagues, and confidants have become allies. If there is a conflict of interests between each other one day, the former father still needs to calmly bargain with his former son, and even take the initiative to make concessions......

"He is my Guo Wei's adopted son, and my Guo Wei personally cultivated a thousand miles of horses. Even if his strength and status leap above Brother Qing and Brother Yi in the future, he still can't change the fact that he was born in my Guo family!" As if to explain to Zheng Renyu, and as if to cheer himself up, Guo Wei held the table with his hand and said in a low voice.

"Over the years, we have seen too many fathers and sons turning against each other and fratricidal. Without waiting for Zheng Renzhi to pick up, he smiled, and continued to add in a low voice, "Big brother! Every time we laugh at others, we turn a good home into a tiger's den and a wolf's den, and the family bites each other. Enough is enough, over the years, enough people have died, and enough blood has been shed. My Guo family may not be able to do any great things in this life, at least I can do it, I don't become a tiger wolf, and my family doesn't bleed!"

"Wen Zhong's talent is great, no one in the world can match it!" Zheng Renzhi took a half step back, stood up straight, and then respectfully saluted Guo Wei. For the sake of the person who does not do what he once joked about, and for the sentence "There are enough dead people".

From Zhu Wen's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty to the present, forty-three years have passed. Over the years, countless heroes have stabbed and killed the earth with white bones, but no hero, like Guo Wei, has become tired of killing. There is not a single hero who, before he is old, willingly puts a new hero on horseback, instead of strangling it.

Li Keyong can't do it, Zhu Wen can't do it, and Liu Zhiyuan can't do it either. This requires a mountain-like character and a sea-like broad-mindedness, Zhu Liang's founding emperor did not have it, the two generations of emperors of the Later Tang Dynasty did not, and Liu Han's founding monarch also did not have!

"Big brother, why praise me!" Guo Wei's voice sounded again in the study, faintly with a little luck, "As soon as I saw Fu Lao Wolf's letter, I began to be suspicious of the noble, and I had already fallen behind. If it weren't for the fact that I suddenly remembered how Jungui and her aunt treated each other back then, maybe I was really moved by Xiufeng. Looking back now, it was so dangerous, so dangerous!"

"There is nothing more difficult in the world than self-denial!" Zheng Renzhi arched his hand again and shook his head with admiration on his face.

When it comes to the choice of heirs and the safety of the next generation, which father can't do it without any waves in his heart. However, it is one thing to draw a knife and kill all sides under the impetus of the waves, but it is another thing to finally restrain the waves and restore the clarity of the mind. The latter is undoubtedly more valuable and admirable than the former.

"If Guo feels remorse in the future, please remind me, don't forget today!" Guo Wei raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, and continued to add in a low voice.

"As long as there is still a breath, you will not dare to dishonor your life!" Zheng Renyu put away his smile and responded with a straight face, as if he had taken a thousand catties of burden.

When the words fell, the two brothers suddenly looked at each other and smiled. For a moment, I felt extremely relaxed.

"Then big brother, you have to live a few more years!" Guo Wei suddenly had the spirit of joking, looked at the wrinkles on Zheng Renzhi's face and said.

"Don't worry, I didn't see you trampling those so-called heroes and heroes one by one, Zheng was reluctant to die!" Zheng Renzhi nodded, laughing and promised.

This is Guo Wei, who has been assisted by Zheng Renzhi for more than ten years, and is familiar with Guo Wei. Ambitious, but kind. is scheming, but sticks to the bottom line. Compared with him, what harriers crazy jackals, what white horses and old wolves, all of them are a group of beasts with fur and blood!

The two brothers talked about it, and before they knew it, time flew by. Seeing that night was approaching, a familiar sound of footsteps finally came from outside the door.

Immediately after, Guo Wei's righteous son, the commander of the Yanei pro-army, and the commander of the Xuanfeng Battalion, Guo Rong, strode in with a bronze candlestick full of candles in his hand, "Grandpa, are you looking for me? The child just went out to count the warehouse and was not at home, so he couldn't come back in time." If it's rude, please don't blame Grandpa!"

"Don't blame, don't blame, you're busy every day to death, for the father to see. How can you deliberately pick on your reason!" Guo Wei's vision was illuminated by the candlelight. Waving his hand, he got up with a smile and went to pick up the candlestick in Yoshiko's hand.

"Be careful, these candles have just been lit, the wicks are a little cold, and it is easy to burst candles!" Guo Rong dodged his hand to the side and reminded loudly, "You always sit, let me come." It's not a heavy thing. If it's heavy, I'll let my own soldiers help. ”

As he spoke, he found a suitable place for the candlestick and placed it properly. Then he tidied up his clothes a little and solemnly saluted Zheng Renyu, "My nephew has seen my uncle." It's so late, and my uncle is still in the study, but what is there to discuss with my father? My nephew just ordered someone to cook red bean and japonica rice porridge, and someone will bring it over immediately. Uncle might as well pad his stomach first, and then continue to work!"

A few words, respect but not losing closeness, politeness and concern, so that Zheng Renzhi couldn't help but feel a good feeling in his heart, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, people are old, their appetite is weak, and they are not in a hurry to eat." It's you, you look thinner than the last time we met. Although young people have enough physical strength and diet, they still need to pay more attention, and Chemok deducted himself. ”

"The little nephew is not thin, but he has become more porcelain!" Guo Rong shook his arms pretending to be strong. "Uncle, please sit down for a while, and the nephew will talk to his father first, and then listen to his uncle's teachings. ”

After that, he gave Zheng Renzhi a polite smile, and turned his face to his father-in-law Guo Wei again, "Grandpa, just now the pro-soldier Guo Sheng said that you are always looking for me? Do you have something important? Or do you just want to shout me and talk with you for a few games?

"Just your stinky basket, the old man still needs to regret it?" Guo Wei was amused and laughed, raised his leg and kicked it, pouting and asking rhetorically.

"The child has your true inheritance!" Guo Rong ducked to the side and bowed his hand in salute.

In other people's homes, I am afraid that only between biological father and son can speak so tabooly. In the study, there was immediately laughter. Zheng Renzhi was originally a little worried, but quickly put it down, looked at Guo's father and son, and interjected with a smile: "Okay, you father and son, a pair of stinky baskets, no one needs to say anyone! The old man himself, to your father and son, seems to have never been defeated." If you're not convinced, let's put on a game, at most, it will only take half an hour at most, and you father and son can lose their armor!"

"Big brother, in front of the juniors, save me some face!" Guo Wei feigned anger and pouted, the chess addiction that had just been hooked up in his heart quickly disappeared without a trace.

Guo Rong's level of Go is not comparable to that of his father-in-law Guo Wei. Naturally, he was not interested in being cleaned up by a big country like Zheng Renzhi. smiled and said in a low voice: "Uncle, you still have the energy to teach others, the little nephew is willing to bow down." The little nephew got an ancient score a few days ago, which is said to have been recorded by Mr. Drunken Yin. When you leave, the little nephew will order someone to take it for you, so as not to put it here and make Baoyu dust!"

"Mr. Drunken Yin, hurry up and send someone to fetch it, fetch it, the old man can't be polite to you!" Zheng Renyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately rubbed his hands and ordered.

Mr. Drunken Yin is the name of the famous poet Pi Rixiu in the late Tang Dynasty. This public chess skill, calligraphy and poetry can be called a generation of masters. It's a pity that this person has no foresight in doing things, and actually responded to Huang Chao's call. So after the defeat of the Yellow Nest, he disappeared. Only a few handwritten books, chess scores and handwritten poems are all rare and hard to find in the market.

"Hurry up and get it, and the old man will also see if Lumenzi is in vain!" It is rare to see that Zheng Renzhi likes one thing to the point of losing his temper, and Guo Wei is not moved. waved his hand at Guo Rong and commanded loudly. (Note 2)

"Yes!" Guo Rong agreed sharply, turned around and walked to the door of the study. Guo Wei suddenly remembered his original intention of calling him here, reached out and patted the back of his neck, and commanded in a low voice: "Wait a minute, Jungui! You let others go, don't go yourself." Does the old man have something serious to discuss with you?"

"Got it, Grandpa, wait a minute!" Guo Rong was stunned, first turned around and said hello to his stepfather Guo Wei, and then called one of the personal guards standing outside the study and asked the other party to go to his room to get the chess game. Finally, he turned around again and gently closed the door. Then he walked back to Guo Wei quickly and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, I'm back, what's the matter?"

"Yes, yes......" Looking at Yizi's pure face, Guo Wei suddenly felt a little weak in his heart, hesitated again and again, and finally decided to implement his previous plan, "Fu Yanqing wrote a letter to his father, thanking you for rescuing his eldest daughter from the Li family, and proposing to marry his eldest daughter to you. By the way, for his third son, he begged to marry your little sister! The old man didn't want to make decisions for you, so he ......"

He had thought that Guo Rong would be as surprised as he had when he first saw the letter, and then make a final decision after careful consideration. Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, a clear answer was already ringing in his ears.

"The ancients said that the wife of the chaff did not go to court. Guo Rong didn't seem to think about it, and shook his head with a smile, "The third child of his family and our little sister are the right match." But I have been married for many years, and even my son is seven years old. How could it be possible to marry the Fu family again? . If you marry back as a concubine, I am afraid that it will insult the face of the Duke of Wei and the reputation of the court!"

Note 1: Li Shimin killed his elder brother and younger brother through the Xuanwumen coup d'état, and became Li Yuan's sole heir. Li Siyuan is Li Keyong's adopted son, but through a coup d'état, he seized the throne of Li Keyong's biological son Li Cunqiao.

Note 2: Mr. Drunken Yin, Lumenzi, are all Pi Rixiu's numbers.
