Volume 1 Ling Yuan's Old Things and New Schemes Chapter 20 Drunken Troubles, Mixed Blessings (II)
Knowing the son is more than the father.
Liu Xing seemed to have guessed Liu Quansheng's answer, and before Liu Quansheng's words fell, he snorted coldly, threw his sleeves out of the window, and went into the house.
The two brothers glanced at each other and slowly entered the door side by side.
As for the atrium on the second floor, the whole house was filled with light smoke, steaming hot, and the strong smell of medicine stimulated the nasal cavity, which made Liu Quansheng, who had not entered the house for more than ten years, frown.
Liu Xing was sitting in the hall alone, there was a person kneeling in the middle hall, and the two brothers who were waiting to enter the house had a closer look, and the one kneeling below was Liu Xing's second son, Liu Ruisheng.
"Good! Good! My three good sons are all here today, and it is rare for the family to meet in this way! Liu Xing bent his waist, his face was gloomy, and he said with a sneer, "Yesterday, I had a private meeting with an old friend in Taihao City, and when he was happy, he suddenly said a small poem in the market, saying that 'the eldest son cultivates sex and raises flowers, the second brother is fierce, and the third brother is sloppy. Where is this? Two generations of emperors', hehe, a two-generation emperor's house, it seems that my Liu family's rivers are declining, it is inevitable! ”
After saying this, Liu Desheng was drenched in cold sweat, and his pride and ambition before entering the door disappeared, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, suddenly like a docile lamb, and did not dare to raise his head.
Liu Quansheng was unmoved.
Liu Quansheng, who once escaped from the ups and downs of the sea, did not listen to the shortcomings of these parents, he raised his eyebrows, stared at him with big eyes, and said loudly, "In terms of etiquette, father's kindness, filial piety, brother, brother, husband, wife, Changhui, Youshun, Junren, and loyalty, the ten are called human righteousness, and the grandfather is alive, and often uses this as a flaunt, so the Liu family has been prosperous in the past dynasties, and the prosperity is also, and now the second brother beats the East, slaughters Zhang Village, and hires a murderer to kill his brother. ”
Liu Xing hated the family infighting very much, and when he heard this, he suddenly showed a look of anger, and his wrinkled hands trembled, but he couldn't speak.
Liu Quansheng was still unmoved, he paused, picked up a wine jug in the house at random, and poured a sip of wine into his mouth, but there was no drop of wine flowing down the pot, he smiled and continued, "In terms of potential, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, since Jiazi, the Liu family has been weathered and undecrepit, all thanks to the love of the fathers and elders, all relying on the township chiefs, husbands, and wanderers of more than 100 villages in the township, and vigorously pursued, rather than the protection of one state and one herd, let alone the joint efforts of the world today, and the tyrants, my Liu family's actions in recent years are really against the current." ”
Liu Quansheng made a pun, on the one hand, it shows that Liu Ruisheng's backer is not solid, and on the other hand, it clarifies the foundation of the Liu family's century-old prosperity.
Liu Xing didn't understand Liu Quansheng's first meaning for a while, he overturned the teapot on the case, rushed to the crown angrily, and suddenly said, "Rebel son, did you come to Qingheju today to be angry with your father?" ”
The air in the room instantly cooled down, and no matter how warm the earth dragon was, it didn't dissolve the knot between the father and son after all.
Liu Quansheng hesitated for a long time, but still called out his father, he said softly, "Father, my son thinks that if you lose people's hearts, you will lose the land and benefit people, and make a living before making profits. Father, my son's words are all here, what is the future of my Liu family, please ask my father to decide! ”
A nameless wind broke through the small window and gently blew up the dark cloth robe that Liu Quansheng was wearing, like the anger burning in Liu Xing's chest, endlessly.
Liu Quansheng held his head high and was not afraid, he did not say how to deal with the affairs of the Liu family, nor did he say how to deal with the people in the house, but slowly took off the 'Book of Rebellion and Thieves', turned around and left quickly.
Seeing the 'Book of Rebels and Thieves', Liu Xing was furious, slapped the case, and shouted, "Rebel, slow down!" ”
Liu Quansheng was unmoved, and went his own way.
Liu Xingmeng exerted his strength, a burst of anger came out of his hand, he slapped the table, the teapot on the table rose in response, smashed in front of Liu Quansheng, shattered and splashed, and the steaming tea blocked Liu Quansheng's way.
Seeing Liu Quansheng stop, Liu Xing immediately said coldly, "Hmph, Quan'er, do you really think you are dizzy for your father?" My father watched you grow up little by little, what kind of did your three brothers pull, how could your father not know? Let's not talk about the future of the Liu family, you tell your father, according to the temperament of your two brothers, who slaughtered Zhangjia Village? ”
Liu Quansheng turned around and stood still, his eyes were firm, and he said coldly, "It's big brother!" ”
Liu Desheng, who was kneeling on the ground, had a big jump in his heart, his face suddenly turned pale, and he was staggering to his knees. You don't want to spew blood. ”
In the face of Liu Quansheng's defection, Liu Desheng lost his sense of proportion in his heart, and secretly cursed in his heart: This dead nerd can't go crazy!
"Whoever succeeds in a great cause, all of them are powerful, overlooked, and good at breaking, giving up, and leaving!" Liu Quansheng kicked away the residue of the teapot, turned around and left, leaving a word in the room, "Because it's the big brother, it's the big brother!" ”
Liu Quansheng's remarks simply and clearly expounded Liu Desheng's merits, and finally closed the coffin: Because it was Liu Desheng who slaughtered Zhangjia Village, with this ruthlessness, Liu Desheng was very qualified for the position of head of the family.
Inside the building, Liu Xing did not stop Liu Quansheng from leaving, and the old man slowly picked up the 'Book of Rebellion and Thieves', and without looking at it, he put it in the brazier.
The fire was raging, burning away the people's turbulence.
Subsequently, Liu Xing walked to the small window, looked at the sloppy figure of Liu Quansheng downstairs who was getting farther and farther away, thought about it carefully, and felt in his heart: My worries are not about the eldest heirs, but about the choice of family interests and the temperament of the family heirs. Oh, I didn't expect that the right child, who I haven't seen for more than ten years, can actually break through my double worries in one word, knowing that the son is not as good as the father, and knowing the father is the only power! Hey, if it weren't for the old days, the head of the family, where would it be your two brothers to do it!
"From now on, Latham and Watkins Inner Courtyard has thought about it behind closed doors, without an order, no one is allowed to live, Consul General Desheng's family affairs, except for the expenses of more than a thousand gold and the appointment and dismissal of important personnel in the clan, there is no need to report to me, and I will enjoy a few years of happiness for my father!"
When he said this, Liu Xing leaned back to his second son, his words were not shocked, and he looked at the back in the distance with deep meaning.
At this moment, the old man Liu, how much he hopes that the straight and sloppy figure in the distance can change his mind and come to his side, as long as he reluctantly says 'Dad, I was wrong', he Liu Xing will immediately forgive this son, and then hand over all the power of the family to his precious third son, withdraw from the temple and the rivers and lakes, and ignore the affairs of the world.
It's a pity that one wrong step will eventually become strangers to father and son.
......
Liu Xing's two sons have been fighting secretly for many years, and today the curtain has finally come to an end.
When Liu Xing said this, Liu Desheng clenched his fists, his eyes sparkled, and his heart was overjoyed.
From beginning to end, Liu Ruisheng didn't say a word, and there was no joy or sorrow on his face.
Outside the building, Liu Quansheng walked slowly, sighing in his heart: This time Qingheju and his party, I helped the eldest brother to suppress the second brother. Since the second brother is the distant nephew of the Jiang clan in Taihao City, Quzhou, he has lost the qualification of the heir of the head of the family this time, which will inevitably cause a rift between the Jiang clan in Quzhou and the Liu clan in Lingyuan, and the thigh of the old Liu family in Taihao City will be considered broken. And I, who indirectly supported the vicious and fickle eldest brother, became a new thorn in my eldest brother's side. I sent a letter of rebellion against the thief, and I also missed the business in Lingyuan County over the years. Back then, His Majesty commented for me that it was 'difficult to decide', hey, things in the world are already difficult to decide, and family affairs are even more difficult! God is no greater than the Tao, Fu Mo is longer than no disaster, the matter has come to this, and it is useless to think about it!
Liu Quansheng did not take Liu Yi to see his grandfather, who had never met before, but only told him to wait at his uncle's house.
The weather is getting colder, the cold is surging, and Liu Yi thinks about returning.
Suddenly, Liu Yi saw his father's wine gourd on horseback, remembered the wonderful scene of drinking under the moon with Dongfang that day, and laughed in his heart: Ice and snow, steal a sip of wine, evoke a bright moon, according to my pride, why not!
After taking a sip, Liu Yi was waiting for the alcohol to express his pride in the back of his head, but found that the wine gourd was full of water with ice ballast!
Now, he's even colder!
In the cold, Liu Yi seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand!
He only remembered a sentence that his father often said: Even if the cold wind rises, life will not give up!
......
Later in the evening, Yang Guan gently leaned on Liu Desheng's arms, watched Liu Quansheng's father and son drift apart, and said in a low voice, "Husband, the third brother has a son, is quite virtuous, and is full of qualifications for succession, you must not ignore it!" ”
Liu Desheng patted Yang Guanxiang on the shoulder, stroked his long hair, and suddenly realized, "That's right! My third brother actually has a son, and his son is so smart. ”
So, in Liu Desheng's eyes, a fierce and fierce cold light suddenly shot out, and threw it at the father and son who were drifting apart.
My good third brother, for the sake of the eldest brother all the way, you precious son, you can't stay!
Oh, by the way, you can't stay either.
