Hai Jiao has a limited understanding of the Tang family's intelligence, and neither he nor Haitang can deduce whether the daughter of the northwest general who married into the Zhang family in her previous life is the daughter of the Tang family.

They can only put this matter behind them for the time being, and wait for more information to be added in the future before making inferences.

Anyway, now that Jin Jiashu is still alive and well, he has contacted the Zhou family and Concubine Xu Xian, the latter can no longer love the house and Wudi blindly raise the second room of the Jin family, and Jin Wu will no longer have the opportunity to marry the daughter of the old relative Zhang family as his wife - without Empress Dowager Xu's other treatment, what kind of green onion is he? No matter who the Zhang family will marry this orphan girl to marry in the future, and whether they will abandon her after her husband's family loses power, that is not what the Hai family brothers and sisters are concerned about. Everyone has their own destiny, and there is no need for irrelevant outsiders to interfere.

After the brother and sister exchanged information, they couldn't help but sigh.

Everyone says that the Zhou family is the emperor of the frontier in the northwest frontier army, but in fact? In Chang'an City alone, there are so many Jiangmen families who follow the Zhou family on the bright side with their own careful thoughts. On the surface, these families are all under the leadership of the Zhenguo Gong, but in private, they also play tricks to fight openly and secretly. Although Zhen Guogong can still hold the field now, how many years can he live? When he dies, who will take over the handsome seal of the Northwest Frontier Army? Can those Jiangmen families still be able to settle down and continue to work together to defend the border and defend the country?

Anyway, the brothers and sisters of the Hai family still remember that it was General He Baisheng from Liangzhou who finally got the power of the Northwest Frontier Army in their previous life, not the high-ranking families in Chang'an.

What did these Jiangmen families do in the years when the Zhou family had an accident, as well as in the years when the Duke of Zhenguo died and his wife and children entered Beijing? Have they also been attacked by the division of the Sun family? Have you ever harmed the interests of the military and civilians in the northwest for personal gain? Is it already happening now?

The reef let out a long sigh of relief. He seems to have more news to investigate, and the pressure in his heart is quite high.

Seeing this, Haitang changed the topic: "By the way, I also met Wu Ke, the surviving grandson of the Wu family." He somehow got rid of the others, and came to the back house to find Zhou Xuejun's little sister and apologize for his aunt. I happened to be with Zhou Xuejun, so I took a look at him and said a few words. ”

She paused: "This person...... He is both thin and weak, not like a character who can make a big difference. Honestly, he's like this...... I was both surprised and reasonable. The Wu family is such a person, right? Although he was basically raised by the Empress Dowager Zhou and the Marquis of Cheng'en, when the Wu family had an accident, he seemed to have remembered it, and he should have been influenced by his father and ancestors. Thinking about the suffering of my cousin, Grandpa Cao, and Grandpa Lu because of Duke Wu Wen'an over the years, I don't think it's surprising that he has grown up like this. ”

Xie Wenzai is Wu Wen'an's protégé, and Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian are his subordinates in the Ministry of Rites. The three of them all joined Sun Ge's old book because of his orders, and then were used as scapegoats by the emperor and dismissed and exiled. Wu Wen'an knew that they had been wronged, but he stood by and allowed their future to be ruined and suffer. The Zhou family has nothing to do with this and can still reach out to help, but the Wu family has not even sent someone to comfort and send some Cheng Yi. Although Wu Wen'an was in a high position and very prestigious before his death, Haitang no longer had any respect for him since he knew what he had done.

If you can't get used to seeing Sun Ge Lao, then you will go into battle to join people yourself, instead of casually ordering students and subordinates to be cannon fodder, and you will not be able to protect people afterwards.

If you can't do anything about Sun Ge, and you don't dare to make the emperor angry, and you only dare to be a turtle with a shrunken head in case of trouble, then be honestly his secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the leader of civil officials, and don't do something superfluous to pull hatred.

If you decide to retreat after encountering a setback, and even your protégés and subordinates are sacrificed, and you know that you don't have the strength to scare people, and you can't get the support of the emperor, then don't do anything again, don't launch new cannon fodder, and quietly wait until your grandson becomes the emperor.

But Wu Wen'an Gong couldn't do anything. He was not used to what Sun Ge Lao did, but he did not dare to go against the emperor, and he could not replace Sun Ge Lao and become the vanguard of the emperor's reform. He refused to give up the temptation of his grandson to become a prince, but he did not accumulate enough strength to escort his daughter and grandson. He thought he was the leader of the Qingliu and the head of the civil ministers, but he sacrificed his protégés and subordinates for self-preservation, giving his political opponents a big handle in vain, and his reputation was also damaged.

He wants both and everything, but everything is half a bucket of water. In the final analysis, it is because of his weak heart, but he thinks that he is upright.

Looking at Wu Ke's temperament now, how similar it is to his deceased grandfather!

Haitang didn't bother to evaluate the Wu family's style, but she only felt sorry for her cousin and his friends who were sincere but were let down, and they didn't even have a grudge against the Wu family, and now they are still very concerned about Wu Ke's news.

Haijiao listened to his sister's complaints, and was silent for a while before saying, "Today...... I went to my cousin and uncle before the banquet, and I happened to hear them discussing with a few acquaintances to meet the orphans of the Wu family. I went along. ”

In addition to Cao and Lu, two old friends, there were also two Zhi Shijing officials who had been Wu Wen'an's protégés and were forced to return to their hometowns to teach after the Wu family's accident, and a local man whose father had received great favor from Wu Zhou, the Duchess of Wu Wen'an. They are very concerned about the character and upbringing of the descendants of the Wu family, and hope that Wu Ke can inherit his grandfather's legacy and re-establish the benchmark of the Shilin Qingliu faction.

Reef followed them to the hut on the edge of the school grounds. The location there is remote, and it is not easy to bump into people, but the house is full of tables, chairs, tea, and stoves, which can just serve as a place for Xie Wenzai and others to meet Wu Ke. There are people from the Zhenguo Mansion who have arranged it, and neither of them is worried about attracting attention.

Haitang suddenly realized when he heard it. The school yard is only separated from General Zhou's courtyard by a wall, and General Wednesday's courtyard is very close to General Zhou's courtyard. No wonder she and Zhou Xuejun would see Wu Ke outside General Wednesday's courtyard. Probably after he had seen the guests in the school grounds, he walked a few more steps along the corridor and ran to the inner house to find someone. The people from the Zhenguo Mansion probably arranged for him to travel alone in a low-key manner, so Zhou Xuejun's brother Zhou Yijun did not come with him.

Haitang asked Haijiao: "Uncle Cousin has seen Wu Ke, what do you think of him?" ”

Reef sighed. What can Xie Wenzai think? He never opened his mouth in the hut from beginning to end, let alone introduced his relationship with Wu Wen'angong, and it is estimated that Wu Ke, who was bereaved since childhood, could not know what his grandfather had done more than 30 years ago, right?

Xie Wenzai sat quietly on the sidelines at that time, listening to others ask Wu Ke about his experience over the years and his future plans, but he didn't say anything.

After leaving, he confided in Cao and Lu, two old friends, in private: "This kid doesn't seem to be able to stand up to things, his heart is too weak, I'm afraid I can't have too high expectations for him......"

Cao Gengyun is quite optimistic: "It's good to be alive, if he can be healthier and have a few more children in the future, so that the Wu family's incense can continue, and there are people behind Wu Gong and his wife to worship, it would be even better." In the past, no one knew that this child was still alive, and we, the old students of the Wu Sect, also supported it well, and there were still people who were making a comeback in the Middle East, where could we still expect this child to lead us? ”

Lu Bainian believes: "He grew up in the hands of women since he was a child, and he has been trapped in the palace and the Hou Mansion for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will grow up like this." Fortunately, he has been studying since he was a child and has never lost his education. Let's just find a way to teach slowly. ”

At that time, Xie Wenzai sighed, and he was silent after returning to the table. When others discussed Wu's family affairs, he did not participate in it anymore.
