Alas~

Pei Renfang said helplessly: "I heard it, I heard it!" ”

Chapter 56

When the new emperor ascended the throne, two of the three dukes were missing, and only Dou Jing, who was also the chief lieutenant, appeared in the court.

It's just that time has changed, how hurried, In just a few days, the situation has been reversed, Dou Jing reported his illness and did not go to court, Shi Yun and Geng Zhang began to participate in the government in good spirits.

Among the government and the opposition, it is no longer the courtiers of the Dou family who control the power.

Among the three princes, the Son of Heaven has two of them, such as winning the hearts of the people of the world.

Among the Jiuqing, the most powerful Shaofu, Guangluxun, and Tingwei were all in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and Pan Hui, the supreme governor of Shangshutai, responded that half of the northern and southern armies in Dou Jing's hands and the Weiwei in the hands of his son Wuchenghou were no longer enough to shake the world.

Dou Jing's failure to report illness is not a physical illness, but a heart disease.

There is medicine for physical diseases, but heart diseases can only be cured with heart medicine, and who can give him the heart medicine he wants?

Seeing that the situation was getting worse day by day, the courtiers were becoming more and more estranged from the Dou family, and they became more and more restless.

If you force a dog into a poor alley, you must be prepared to be counterattacked by it, let alone a person?

"Father, now that the matter is over, please make a decision early!"

Marquis Wucheng knelt down in front of Dou Jing, his voice was earnest, and the fierce light flashed in his eyes: "Mu Yikang's wolf ambition is obvious, when his father put him on the throne, how deferential was he?" He Cheng thought that he would even fight with him, and in one fell swoop he won several important positions, and then enveloped Pan Geng and the others......"

"I think that when my Dou family was prosperous, Shi Yun and Geng Zhang and others had to retreat by three points, and more than half of Jiuqing was in Dou's bag, but now? In just a few days, he quietly took most of it! At present, you and my father and son have in their hands half of the army of the Beijing Division, a strong army of guards, if you don't get up early, I don't know how long this bit of authority can hold! ”

The indispensable arrogance on Dou Jing's face in the past has long been in the past, replaced by the anxiety and uneasiness similar to that of the Marquis of Wucheng.

He knew that what his eldest son said made sense, but ......

Today's Dou Jing, after all, is no longer the Dou Jing who was full of righteousness and put life out of the way in order to help the world!

He has too much, and he is afraid of losing too much!

"Tell me to think about ......"

Dou Jing's expression was cloudy, and he repeated again: "Let me think about it." ”

Although the Marquis of Wucheng was anxious, he did not dare to disobey his father's wishes in such a major matter, so he could only kneel down with an anxious expression, waiting for Dou Jing's decision.

No one noticed that a shadow on the lattice stopped for a few moments and then quickly left.

In fact, even if someone did find out, it wouldn't be surprising.

Because that was General Dou's henchman for many years, Shi Cen Gang, the head of the general's mansion who had followed Dou Jing to participate in the battle anyway.

He quickly left the study in the front yard, walked around the courtyard of the promenade with a calm demeanor, and finally came to the backyard of the general's mansion, and said to the maid who was guarding the door: "Please tell Madame that Cen Gang has come to pay a visit." ”

The maid entered the house to spread the word, and after a short time, she came out again to say: "Madame, please enter the long history to narrate." ”

In the inner room, Mrs. Liang was still dressed plainly, and when she saw Cen Gang, she said: "You have come to see me—has the general really reached the end of his rope?" ”

Cen Gang replied respectfully to her: "The Marquis of Wucheng proposed to start an incident, but the general was still hesitating. ”

Mrs. Liang smiled.

There was an emotion called remembrance in her expression: "Anyway, during the battle, he agreed to start an incident without thinking, and the courage and determination of the year are no longer the same as he is now." ”

Putting the string of Buddhist beads in her hand on the table, Mrs. Liang got up lightly: "Do great things and spare your life, and forget your life when you see small profits, if he evaluates the enemy generals back then, it is time to return them to himself." ”

Cen Gang was silent.

Mrs. Liang's gaze fell on him: "After many years, how many people in the house are willing to serve me?" ”

Cen Gang straightened out his clothes and solemnly bowed: "We followed the general in the past to raise an incident in order to help the society and save Li Shu. Anyway, after the war, Dou Jing harmed Zhongliang outside, treated his wife harshly at home, persecuted the Son of Heaven, and acted perversely, what is the difference between him and the desolate emperor of that year? If we turn a blind eye, will we not make the gods of heaven and earth despise us, and think that the grand oath we made back then was not for the sake of society, but for the sake of today's wealth? ”

Mrs. Liang helped him up and saluted him: "Please wish you help me!" ”

Cen Gang said in a shocking voice: "Dare to disobey?!" ”

……

After Pei Renfang got off duty, the ghost sent the god to the place where he first met the old man, but when he saw that the scenery was the same as before, the old man was nowhere to be found.

"Is it true that he will never see each other again, as he said?"

Pei Renfang couldn't help but be a little stunned, sighed secretly, and paced aimlessly along the long street, enjoying this rare leisure time.

He was the widow of his father and the only son of his father, and his father, the youngest of his grandfather's children and the only child of his grandfather who lived to adulthood, carried the hopes of many people on his shoulders before he was born.

When my father died for some reason, he was only 27 years old, and my grandfather sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man and sent his last surviving child to the grave.

When the pain passed, my grandfather personally went to the beach where my father had died, but found some clues that the death of his young son might not have been an accident, but a man-made accident.

The grandfather invited the Son of Heaven to investigate the matter in person, and finally the truth was revealed, and it was not only the officials who embezzled the funds for the construction of the river embankment who participated in the conspiracy, but even the rest of the Pei family......

Grandfather was stung.

He was saddened by the death of his youngest son, and was angry by the calculations of his relatives who were born out of profit!

He knew what those people were for—he only had this one son still alive, and this son had only one daughter under his knees at this time, and if this son died unexpectedly, the huge Pei family would have to be handed over to the split family, or the heir would inherit it!

My grandfather's temperament was as fierce as fire when he was young, and his temper never diminished when he was old, and according to his temperament, he would rather pile up and burn everything in the Pei family than let those mongrels hidden in the background eat human blood steamed buns with their own flesh and bones!

And his mother, Yang, was diagnosed as pregnant at this time.

This is a gift from God to the Pei family, if the mother has a son, the Pei family will also have a young master who can inherit the family business, and the three-year-old sister will have something to rely on in the future.

At that time, the joy of my grandfather and mother can be imagined.

But hope is followed by despair.

In October, when the melons were ripe, the mother gave birth to a daughter.

She lay on her bed and wept bitterly, for the death of her husband, for the helplessness of her eldest daughter, for the poor newborn child, and for the fate that could not escape the calamity.

Could it be that God is really so ruthless that she watched the side branch people step on her husband's bones and take away the Pei family's family business?!

At that time, the sun was setting and the afterglow was magnificent, and Mrs. Pei sat silently in the outer room, and after hearing the cry of her daughter-in-law, she understood everything.

Mrs. Pei blocked the news of her daughter-in-law's birth and asked her through the curtain: "As early as the beginning of your pregnancy, I had an idea in my heart, but it was difficult to talk to you before the child landed." ”

He pondered for a long time, and finally said, "How about this newborn child to be raised as a boy?" ”

After a while, she held one of her daughter's small hands and burst into tears: "Isn't the daughter-in-law a son?" ”

Mrs. Pei let out a long sigh.

Under this background, Pei Renfang gradually grew up.

He is very smart, his appearance is also extraordinarily outstanding, and he is carefully taught by Taifu Pei, and he is a well-known prodigy very early, and he was even selected as the prince's companion.

His mother, Yang, cared for him very much - in addition to the innate maternal love, it was also mixed with the guilt and anxiety that his own actions had changed the fate of his life.

The same goes for grandfathers.

Pei Renfang himself didn't think there was anything.

He was a sane child from an early age and knew what was best for himself, his sister, his grandfather and his mother.

He was accustomed to binding his chest and abandoning all the hobbies that girls had, and when Yang wept silently over this, he would comfort her: "I think it's good, really." Please don't be sad about the right choices you have made in the past. If it weren't for you, I might never have seen such a landscape for the rest of my life. ”

He didn't just say this to soothe his mother, he really felt that way.

As Pei Renfang grew up, his fame spread even further, and Geng Zhang met him when he visited Pei's house, and immediately after the school examination, he made a decision and accepted him as a disciple.

The teacher is a smart person, and after getting along with the master and apprentice for a long time, it is inevitable that he will notice some clues, but he did not say anything, and even specially helped him to check up and down, and successfully completed the entire examination process.

It was only after he was crowned champion that he said to him, "People live for a lifetime, but for decades, and they must always do something beneficial to the world, right?" ”

Pei Renfang saluted him respectfully: "The disciple has been taught." ”

After that, he took the initiative to ask to be transferred to a remote place, stayed outside for a few years, and stayed until now, when he returned to Chang'an, he felt that this hometown, where he grew up and grew up, had become strange......

King Baling had a banquet for the entire Qiyun Mansion today, and he drank too much wine, and he was a little drunk, so he randomly found a window to breathe, but he was shocked by a glimpse, and the whole person was stunned in place.

After a few moments, he suddenly came back to his senses, and shouted in the direction where the man had gone, "Hey, Pei Renfang! ”

Pei Renfang turned around in response, and saw a young man standing in a high-rise building, standing towards the light, and the banner of the restaurant was waving on one side, but he couldn't distinguish his face.

It was very rude to call each other by name and surname, but he narrowed his eyes slightly, bowed his hand and bowed his hand to the same generation, and did not rush to make a sound.

King Baling was stunned again.

I haven't seen him for years, doesn't he know me?

Then he felt ashamed and angry: yes, who is Pei Renfang, how can he remember such an irrelevant person as him!

He lowered his face coldly, and waited for someone to call Pei Renfang to come up, who knew that with this wrong kung fu, no one knew where to go!

King Baling was furious, and immediately sent someone to Pei's house to post: "The stories of classmates in the past are vivid, and now that Yuzhi is still in the dynasty, he doesn't even know the old people?" It's just that Yu Yiyi is trying to avoid the imperial sister, so that even me has to dodge, right? ”

made an appointment and invited him to Qiyun Tower for a drink.

Only then did Pei Renfang know who was stopping him today.

O king of Balim......

I really can't remember it.

He was only nine years old when he went to the palace to be a companion to the prince, and every day he was with the rest of the companions by the prince's side, with a special teacher to teach, and he spent very little time with the rest of the princes and princesses, or the sons of their relatives and nobles.

I only vaguely remember that King Baling seems to be a somewhat flamboyant teenager ?

However, time has changed, and those small impressions of the past have long been blurred with the passage of time......

After all, he is a former classmate and a royal prince, and it is always difficult to excuse himself when he comes over.

Pei Renfang thought about it for a few moments, but finally responded.

……

Xibao Village.

The three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family made up their minds, so they hired a carriage to ride home and take Jiang Manchu and Fei to Chang'an.

Jiang Manchu refused when he heard it: "Don't go, don't go, don't go!" ”

He said, "The county magistrate has just arranged an errand for me, where can I go?" ”
