Just when the great eunuch Yu Chaoen was shuttling around the palace and taking away innocent lives, Yu Zao's right servant of Shangshu, who was neutral at the head of civil officials, shot Gongsun Baoyu, sat alone in his study and sighed, his face full of wrinkles twisted together, like a bark, indescribably weird.

A quick knock on the door broke the silence of the study, and also woke up Gongsun Baoyu, who was in a trance.

"Come in. ”

The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a white face and a long beard under his chin hurriedly walked into the study, first bowed to Gongsun Baoyu, who was sitting on the throne, and then said eagerly: "Father, why didn't you tell me what happened in the early dynasty?"

The person who came was naturally Gongsun Wenjie, the son of Gongsun Baoyu, and the eldest son of Gongsun Mansion.

Gongsun Baoyu lifted his eyelids, glanced at his son lightly, and said slowly: "What does the matter of the early dynasty have to do with you, a Guozijian from the sixth grade? You just need to do a good job of the affairs of the Guozijian, and you don't need to worry about the rest." ”

Gongsun Wenjie's cheeks flushed, and he said very dissatisfiedly: "If it weren't for my father who kept pressing me, how could I be a six-grade sesame official of Lao Shizi." ”

The corners of Gongsun Baoyu's mouth twitched, and he asked a question that he would never say on weekdays, "Then how many officials do you think you can be with your talent?"

Gongsun Wenjie raised his head and raised his chest, and said quite complacently: "My talent and learning are naturally not as good as my father, but it is more than enough to be a six-part squire, even if I am asked to do six-part Shangshu, it is not that I am incapable of doing ......."

Gongsun Baoyu laughed very strangely, and said slowly: "It's really a toad yawning - what a big breath, you don't look at you, you only learn a few catties and taels in your belly, just listen to people's compliments, I feel that I am unparalleled in the world, and I can't wait to hang the first signboard in the world on my forehead."

If others praise me a few more words, do you think that you should also do the position under my ass? ”

Gongsun Wenjie, who was reprimanded, was very annoyed, his white cheeks were flushed, and even a little black, he gritted his teeth, and a few words popped out of his mouth word by word, "The child will prove to his father that I will not be looked down upon, and I will never succumb to this national eunuch who is under the sixth grade for the rest of my life." ”

After saying a cruel word, Gongsun Wenjie gave an extremely perfunctory salute to his father, and walked out of the study with a stomach, leaving the elderly Gongsun Baoyu alone.

Gongsun Baoyu stood up, pulled a book on the shelf, and asked into the air, "Tianxing, who do you think can support the Gongsun family after a hundred years?"

A warm and flat voice came from the empty room, "Go home, no one." ”

Gongsun Baoyu turned a few pages of the book in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Wen Jie has always regarded you as a brother of flesh and blood, so don't you want to say a good word for him? Aren't you afraid that I will drive him out of the capital and drive him back to Hedong Dao?"

Gongsun Tianxing, who was hiding in the shadows, just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Since Gongsun Baoyu, who is the head of the family, no longer has any expectations for his son, why should he, an outsider who can only hide from things, wade into this troubled water?

After all, he's just an outsider.

Even if it is surnamed Gongsun, it is just an outsider with the surname Gongsun.

Gongsun Baoyu put the books back on the bookshelf, waved his right hand slightly, and Gongsun Tianxing in the dark retreated silently.

......

When Gongsun Baoyu reprimanded his son, there was also a small movement in Zhuguo's Zhangfu, and the cause was the same as Gongsun's Mansion, all because of the events of the early dynasty.

Zhang's Mansion is completely different from the elegant and wealthy Gongsun Mansion, the grass and trees in the mansion are scarce, revealing a simple and neat feeling everywhere, there is a bit of military camp taste, other people's courtyards are furnished with fish tanks and flowers, and Zhang's Mansion is a display of weapons with two wooden frames, as if performing martial arts.

At this time, Zhang Ziyi was holding a spear in his hand, pointed at his son Zhang Jingyue with anger on his face, and scolded: "You little rabbit cub, do you think you have grown up?

Zhang Jingyue said with a bitter face: "Dad, you are not my opponent at all, why do you have to do this, aren't you afraid that I will miss and hurt you?"

Zhang Ziyi snorted and scolded: "Lao Tzu stands still and doesn't move, are you coming? If you don't dare to move, you will be a bastard of the turtle." ”

Zhang Jingyue's face became even more bitter, and he muttered: "If I were a bastard, wouldn't you be a turtle, how could you scold yourself." ”

Zhang Ziyi shouted angrily, and the spear in his hand hit his son on the head and face.

Zhang Jingyue just hugged his head and scurried around in the courtyard, not giving the old man a chance to start.

The two chased for a while, and Zhang Ziyi was already out of breath, because she was too old to compare with her son who was at his peak.

Zhang Ziyi snorted coldly, put the spear in his hand back into the weapon rack, and then hooked his hand at his son, put his hands behind his back, and slowly went to the direction of the study.

In the study, after Zhang Ziyi took a sip of hot tea, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "This person, it's not okay to be disobedient to the old, it seems that it's time for me to write a letter to ask for Zhishi." ”

The old man came with such a sentence without a beginning or end, which frightened Zhang Jingyue, and hurriedly said: "Dad, didn't you just hit me, if you are unhappy, I will stand and let you fight." ”

Zhang Ziyi glared at her son and scolded: "Fart, are you Lao Tzu and I such a person? Lao Tzu just doesn't want to worry about you, if you were young, you kid would still be able to stand here well?"

Zhang Jingyue's face turned dark, as if he remembered the tragic memories of his youth, and his whole body was a little hairy, and the hairs on his neck stood up.

Zhang Ziyi's temper has been the same for decades, fiery and rude, likes to do things, whenever the reason doesn't make sense, he likes to pick up the scabbard to reason, Zhang Jingyue's childhood was almost grown up under the high pressure of the scabbard, and it wasn't until he stepped into the realm of the grandmaster that the old man didn't beat him again.

Zhang Jingyue smiled reluctantly and asked: "Then why do you want to talk about the matter of asking for Zhishi, who is still qualified to be the head of the military attache in the entire court now? Your Majesty will definitely not let people go, so why should you be bored." ”

Zhang Ziyi glanced at her son, and said angrily: "Whoever you love should be, Lao Tzu doesn't care, the situation is getting more and more serious, we don't need to continue to stalemate with them, it's the right thing to retreat bravely." ”

When Zhang Jingyue heard the old man say this, he also returned to his right line, and asked with a solemn face: "Dad, what are you going to do with that matter in the early dynasty?"

Zhang Ziyi sneered and said, "How to deal with it? ”

Hearing Zhang Ziyi's tone, Zhang Jingyue knew the old man's thoughts, so he stopped persuading, but sighed silently.

Zhang Ziyi glanced at his son and asked, "With your cultivation and qualifications, don't you feel aggrieved to be only a lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army under the fourth grade?"

Zhang Jingyue smiled and said: "It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, why should I climb up desperately, as long as you stand in the court, even if I don't become an official, no one dares to look down on me, don't you say?"

Zhang Ziyi glared at her son, who was not in shape, and said in a deep voice: "The continuation of a family is nothing more than following the trend, there are successors, and anyone can do it, but it is a little difficult to have successors."

So over the years, I have been reluctant to let you go further, I wish you had been nailed to your current position, and after I have become a leader, I will slowly try to advance, do you understand my intentions?"

Zhang Jingyue rolled his eyes and said softly: "We are not stupid, how can we not know your intentions." You are doing this only to temper our hearts so that our family can continue to maintain its power and glory under our leadership. ”

Zhang Ziyi sighed: "If you can all understand my hard work, it won't be like now." ”

Zhang Jingyue wanted to explain something, but Zhang Ziyi stretched out his hand to stop him, and continued: "You don't have to say good things for Jing Heng, I am not angry with him, after all, it is father and son, how can he really break off his righteousness, even if he resents me and blames me, he has not been willing to return to the capital for so many years, I have not blamed him, after all, I can't live with him, and he should be angry." ”

Zhang Jingyue's lips squirmed a few times, and finally said slowly: "Second brother actually cares about you very much, but it is just for the sake of face, so he has not come back for many years, and he has written to me every year, and there are many greetings in the letter......

Zhang Jingyue was about to continue, but was interrupted by the old man, Zhang Ziyi scolded with a smile: "You fart, Jing Heng never wrote to you at all, can there be anything I don't know about the affairs in the house?"

Zhang Jingyue's lie was discovered, so he didn't continue to make it up, but sighed silently in his heart.

Zhang Ziyi asked very embarrassedly, "Is that Ruoshui girl okay lately?"

Zhang Jingyue nodded and shook his head, and said softly: "It's still the same, and nothing has changed." ”

Zhang Ziyi sighed and said, "Since Jing Heng doesn't want to go back to Beijing, let's stay outside, after all, the next thing, the entire Zhang Mansion may not be able to get out of the whole body, so don't involve him anymore." ”

Zhang Jingyue just said seriously, "No matter what the father decides, the child will support it strongly." ”

Zhang Ziyi looked at his son fixedly and said: "If I write a letter to ask for my resignation, it will definitely chill Your Majesty's heart, even if he agrees, he will write down this account in his heart, are you afraid?"

Zhang Jingyue asked rhetorically, "Is my father afraid?"

Zhang Ziyi smiled and said, "I'm at this age, what am I afraid of, at most, I just entered the ground a few years earlier." ”

Zhang Jingyue replied: "Since my father is not afraid, then I have nothing to fear." ”

Zhang Ziyi smiled bitterly and said, "Then you should be ready to go out of Beijing, but I don't know where Your Majesty will place you." ”

Zhang Jingyue said in a low voice: "I think it should be the Northern Tiger Army." ”

Zhang Ziyi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled lightly, but in this moment, the burden on his shoulders was taken down a lot, and the whole person was relaxed, and his slightly hunched back quietly straightened.
