Chapter 11: Three Lives (3)
In the past, when Guo Wei was the emperor, he had never been so angry in public. For a while, all the civil and military forces were shocked, and Qi Qi turned his gaze to Feng Dao, who had annoyed Chai Rong. Unexpectedly, Feng Dao, the patriarch of the dynasty, bowed down at Chai Rong's back and shouted, "The ministers are leaving", and then Shi Shiran left the palace.
Along the way, officials from the Lord and faction kept catching up from behind and asking Feng Dao how to move the ministers next? Feng Dao didn't show everyone the direction, just smiled and shook his head. When he returned home, his sons were also very puzzled by their old father's action of making the emperor unable to step down in public today, but they could not accuse their father of being reckless. I had to first order the kitchen to politics a table of Feng Daoping's favorite dishes, and then sit down and raise a glass to make the old man happy.
"Since you want to drink, let's drink a little more happily? How can such a small cup be relieved of alcohol addiction?" With Feng Dao's cleverness, how could he not feel that the atmosphere at home was weird. After sitting down, without waiting for anyone's persuasion, he first drained the wine cup in front of him, and then loudly ordered someone to change the large glass.
"Grandpa, be careful, be careful of drinking too quickly!" Feng Ping, the right picker, Feng Ji, the secretary, Feng Ji, the outer lang Feng Ke, the member of the Ministry of Labor, and Feng Zheng, the priest of the country, advised in unison, and then shook their heads with a wry smile at each other.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the old man is rarely happy today. Don't you see, Your Majesty was so angry with the old man that even the blue was dark!" Feng Dao refused to listen, like a child who had just stolen candy to eat, looking left and right, triumphant.
The four brothers of the Feng family were speechless, so they could only tell the servants to fetch the large wine cups. Then they looked at each other and continued to smile wryly and shake their heads.
Zi said: When a person reaches 70, he can do whatever he wants! My father is already 70 and 4 this year, so of course he can mess around with his temperament. Anyway, with Chai Rong's temperament, unless the Feng family plotted to rebel, he would never take an old man in his seventies!
But no matter how the old man tosses, he will not be sanctioned, but the brothers cannot guarantee that they will not be affected by the pond fish. Especially in today's situation where the father took the initiative to provoke first, and maliciously cursed later, the evil fire in Chai Rong's stomach had nowhere to emit, and it was inevitable that he would have to look at the Feng family brothers differently in the future!
"What, I'm worried, I'm afraid that I'll offend Your Majesty for my father, Your Majesty will be angry with a few of you, isn't it?" The stomachs of several children, in the eyes of an old fox like Feng Dao, were almost completely transparent. You don't have to waste any effort to see clearly. "There's no need, I think my father's eyes look at people, although Your Majesty has a slightly impatient temper, his belly is not smaller than that of the first emperor. I would never think that the old man would confront him in front of him and say a few words, just do anything to you!"
"No, the child doesn't dare!"
"Father, you are so careful, how can a child take this little thing to heart!"
"Your Majesty's decision to personally enlist was made in too hasty. You're just doing your duty!"
Feng Ping, Feng Ke, and Feng Zheng vied with each other to express their positions. lest he speak slowly and make his father sad.
"Where are you always contradicting a few words, you always point your nose and scold people, okay." First of all, His Majesty can't reach half of Tang Taizong's in this life, and then say that His Majesty wants to be a stone and a nobleman's second' Secretary Zhengzi Feng Ji smiled bitterly and muttered in his heart, but what he said was completely different, "Grandpa, look at what you said? Besides, you are always thinking about the country, and you are worried that Your Majesty will lose the battle if you rashly send troops!"
"That's for my father's love!" Feng Daowan smiled, ate a mouthful of food first, and then raised the wine cup and took a sip. Then he suddenly sighed, shook his head and added, "However, it is a shame." Few of the things the old man has done in his life are really for the sake of the country. This time, it's even more unlikely!"
Although he has long been accustomed to his father's thick blackness, after all, he reads sage books all day long, and the four brothers are somewhat uncomfortable. blushing, he nodded slightly, "Yes, yes, father, you said that you were born in troubled times, and self-protection comes first." ”
"Wrong, big mistake!" Feng Dao didn't appreciate it at all, knocked down the table with chopsticks, and emphasized loudly: "Troubled times, troubled times are almost over, and it should be over." The longest is 10 years, and the shortest is less than 5 years. If you can't even see this, this life will end with your official position. If you want to go further, or catch up with your father, it's hard to climb to the sky!"
"Your old wisdom, there are few people in the world who can compare!"
"The child doesn't dare to compare with you, I can be idle in the shadow of your old age, I am already content!"
"You always say yes, children are shallow!"
Feng Ping, Feng Ke, and Feng Zheng nodded one after another, trying to speak according to the old man's meaning, lest he make the old man unhappy.
Only Feng Dao's second son, Feng Ji, lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, looked into his father's eyes and asked, "Grandpa, Grandpa, are you saying that the chances of winning this Northern Expedition are actually very high?
"Hmm!" Feng Dao's face instantly showed a bit of approval, and he nodded with a smile. "yes, the odds are stacked. The four of you brothers are all civil officials, and you don't have the ability to take the opportunity to make contributions. But the troubled times are over, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, but it is a good time for civil officials to show their talents. ”
"Then ...... you today" Feng Ping, Feng Ke, and Feng Zheng's brothers suddenly looked at their old father with a confused face.
"Alas-" Feng Dao was slightly disappointed by the children's expressions, sighed, and said faintly: "You want to ask, why does the old man know that this northern expedition has a great chance of victory, but he has to take the lead in peace, and deliberately confront His Majesty, right? What else can the old man do when he is so old? It's not a false name behind him, and the figure can make you wait to be an official in the future?"
"Huh?" In addition to Feng Ji's face full of emotion, the remaining three brothers became more and more dizzy, and their mouths were all wide open.
"You all have studied less, and you can say in your conscience, after a hundred years of being a father, how will the government and the opposition evaluate the old man?!" glanced at the other three brothers, Feng Dao was kind and seductive.
The faces of the four brothers suddenly flushed a little, and they lowered their heads, not daring to respond truthfully.
His father has been in several dynasties, and even the official of Da Liao has been there. No matter which emperor he served, he did everything according to the other party's wishes, and never disobeyed in the slightest, let alone speak out like he did today, and touched the dragon scales. According to the traditional Confucian view, after a hundred years, a character evaluation is doomed to be inescapable. And as the children and grandchildren of the peerless ministers, the career of the brothers must be doubly difficult.
was embarrassed, but he heard Feng Dao sigh again, and added with a laugh, "The old man has been a minister all his life, and today he finally dared to admonish him bluntly, and he may be the generation of heroes who have achieved the greatest achievement and the most promising reorganization of Kyushu in a hundred years." Haha, haha, this taste of being a direct minister is really painful! From today on, the world should know that it is not an old man, but a king in the past, and he cannot be admonished!"
