The great victory of the Great Loyal Province in foreign wars has led to the illumination of almost every house in Kyoto, and the festive atmosphere has not completely dissipated until now. In stark contrast, the mansion of Shangshu Wendao of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Dynasty was hung high above the door of the house, and the whole house was full of grief.

Wen Dao is nearly seventy years old, and has been an official in the court for nearly 40 years, not only the current household secretary, but also the grain governor of the Northern Expedition. Wen Dao is cautious and quiet, never does anything first, and is also a 'good man' who never offends people. In addition to his qualifications, the most important reason why he can sit in the position of Shangshu is this. is such a person in his later years as a part-time grain governor of the Northern Expedition, but he did a very unexpected thing.

The old emperor was unscrupulous and lazy in political affairs, which caused the treasury to be empty and the people in poverty, and it was not easy to collect and supervise grain and grass. The former grain governor was dismissed because of the difficulty in raising grain. The new emperor ascended the throne and appointed Wen Dao to work part-time.

As soon as he took office, he killed many wealthy businessmen and eunuchs who stocked grain and refused to pay grain. In doing so at such a time, those above will rarely turn a blind eye, and even secretly suppress the opposition voice. However, once the war is over and the external troubles are eliminated, how will those people above calm down the resentment of these people? How will they calm down? Wen Dao, who has been an official for many years, will not be unaware of this, but he still did so.

This is not counting Wen Dao, who personally escorted grain and grass at an advanced age, and during this period, he killed nearly one-third of the Caoyun officials. The slain officials are not guilty of any other crimes, but to delay and fill their own pockets. Those who delayed were okay, and those who dared to fill their pockets were all copied by Wendao without exception. For a time, officials at all levels, from raising grain to transporting grain, were all trembling and frightened, and no one dared to be greedy for grass and rice.

Some people speculate that Wen Dao acted so ruthlessly in order to keep his official position. Very few people in the know know that this is not the case, and no matter how good Wen Dao does at his age, he will retire in a year or two at most. So why is Wendao like this?

It turned out that although this Wen Dao was in a high position, the family was not prosperous, and only one son named Wen Rong was born. Wen Rong is a talented reader, but his career has not been smooth, and he is just an editor now. In addition, I had a serious illness a few years ago, and my body has been very weak since then. Wen Dao has lost confidence in his 50-year-old son and has no intention of cultivating, so naturally he will not bother to pave the way for him in such a way. In other words, even if he sent his son to a high position in this way, with Wen Rong's heart and wisdom, he would not be able to cope with this force of revenge in the future, and he was really afraid that his life would be difficult to save at that time.

Wen Rong has three children, the eldest son Wen Jun, the second son Wen Lin, and the third daughter Wen Min. Wen Jun has been smart since he was a child, and he is honest and kind. not only inherited the genes of his father's literati, but also loves martial arts, and his talent for martial arts even surpasses Xi Wen's true literary and military skills. Wen Dao has high hopes for this eldest grandson, and he doesn't worry about going with the flow, letting him think about literature and martial arts. Compared with Wen Jun Wenlin, it is much worse, and he has been pampered since he was a child. Although his brain is not stupid, he is lazy by nature, which makes him unable to write and fight. For Wenlin Wendao, I have a lot of practical work. Originally, according to Wen Dao's plan, Wen Lin was to go to the front line, as long as he could come back with some military merits, no matter how well he operated, he would have a way out.

Of course, Wen Dao knew in his heart what kind of material his grandson was, but he knew that he was a grain overseer, how could the one on the front line give some face. As long as he has done well in the matter of requisitioning and supervising grain and grass, and then he will ask for it again, it will not be difficult for Wenlin to get a small military feat. If things really develop like this, the old and refined Wendao has its own way of cutting out grain and grass without hurting harmony. Of course, the quantity of grain and grass and the speed of transportation will naturally be worse. In this way, the war will still be won, but who knows how many years later. However, it is up to people to do things, things are done in the sky, and things are impermanent, and things are unsatisfactory nine times out of ten.

Later, news came from the army that Wen Lin was personally ordered to be beheaded by Wang Changsheng for violating military discipline. Wen Dao was heartbroken when he heard the news and was furious. However, another piece of news that followed, but he forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest.

It turned out that the eldest grandson Wenjun, who was out of the house in the name of studying abroad, had already secretly gone to join the army. And just in this vacant army, news came that Wen Jun was personally asked by Wang Changsheng to be named the deputy commander because of his ability to fight well and repeatedly make war exploits. The deputy capital commander is a second-grade official, and he has been an official for forty years, but he is just a third-grade scholar. In this way, Wen Dao thinks that Wang Changsheng is still a good person, and the second grandson Wenlin is indeed not a weapon. Therefore, it is speculated that Wen Lin did too much to cause the disaster. Otherwise, even if Wang Changsheng is too young to understand human accidents, then the military advisor Sima Fazheng should always be able to persuade him, and besides, will the person who can ascend to the position of commander not understand human accidents?

In this way, the anger in his chest weakened, and he was suppressed. Soon after Wen Jun was promoted to deputy commander, the army formulated a strategy to encircle and suppress Dameng in three ways, and Wen Jun was appointed to lead one of them. The authority to lead an army alone has naturally risen sharply, but the responsibility to be borne is naturally greater, and those who have made meritorious deeds will be punished. According to Wen Dao's heart, he is unwilling to let Wen Jun take such a risk, after all, Wen Jun is still a little young. However, he naturally could not write to withdraw his grandson's appointment.

Therefore, he did two things for this purpose: one was to devote himself to the matter of requisitioning grain and grass, so that there would be no problem with the supply, so that it would be best if he could succeed. Second, he considered a letter to Wang Changsheng after a long period of repair, asking him to ensure that the whole text was even, and if he was young and vigorous, he could immediately remove himself from the post of leader and be a person without merit and fault. If this is the case, when Wen Dao sees Wang Changsheng in the future, he will have to call him "Wang Dashuai". But when things backfired and the final decisive battle, Wen Jun personally led the cavalry to chase and kill Shan Yu's main force. Although he personally cut off Shan Yu's head in the end and made immortal achievements, he was hit by seven swords and three arrows in his body, and finally died of his injuries. In this way, there is a scene of Wenfu white silk hanging high.

As early as more than a month ago, Wen Dao learned the news that Wen Jun died outside the Guan, and the two grandchildren died outside the Guanwai, and the Wen family had cut off the incense, and Wen Dao fainted several times in pain. After calming down, Wen Dao blamed Wang Changsheng for all this, and had evil thoughts in his heart to seek revenge. However, Wang Changsheng is a great master with superb martial arts, and he did not stay in Kyoto for a long time after returning to his master, so he did not find an opportunity for Yiwendao. Wen Dao was willing to stop here, and after thinking about it a few times, he came up with a poisonous plan. It's just that this plan was known to Wen Rong for some reason, and Wen Rong didn't agree with his father Wen Dao's approach.

So in the secret room of the Wen Mansion more than a month ago, Wen Rong persuaded Wen Dao bitterly: "Why does my father have to be like this, this will harm Wen Min for the rest of his life." ”

Wen Dao was very emotional, his face was hideous, and he trembled and said angrily: "Why is this so? He Wang Changsheng made my Wen family the last, and he Wang Changsheng made my Wen family the last!" In the end, Wen Dao seemed to have lost all his strength, and sat down in his chair with tears on his face and kept repeating this sentence. Wen Rong was also sad when Wen Dao talked about the sore spots, and his tears were sprinkled on his clothes, and his sadness was indescribable.

After a long time, Wen Rong wiped away his tears and plucked up his strength and said: "Life and death are life, wealth is in the sky, how can there be immortals in war, and innocent people should not be harmed." Besides, if the relationship between Han Tiehu and Wang Changsheng really hurt Han Tiehu, how could Wang Changsheng give up, after all, he still had to think about the living. ”

Wen Dao snorted coldly when he heard this: "Life and death have a life, wealth is in the sky, should my Wen Dao's grandson be such a life? Even so, can he Wang Changsheng atone for his sins? Not to mention the others, if they only deliberately let go of Shan Yu's son and leave a bane, they will deserve death. ”

Wen Rong persuaded again: "Wang Changsheng is still meritorious in the war of Dameng, so the saying of the barbarian is just a rumor, and there is no conclusive evidence." Moreover, the sage once said, 'Born in sorrow and died in peace', even if the rumors are true, I think that Wang Changsheng should be because of this consideration. ”

Wen Dao was immediately annoyed when he heard this: "You are also over half a hundred years old, but I didn't expect that you are still mediocre all day long." Did he Wang Changsheng have only one thought? Did the sage say, 'The enemy country is ruined, and the ministers are destroyed'? Do you see which of the military generals who returned from the war is not a high-ranking official, and why is this happening? Is it because of his past military exploits? The young emperor still uses them. ”

Although Wen Rong is in his 50s, he is very afraid of his father on weekdays, and if he is scolded by his father for other things, Wen Rong will never dare to refute it. But thinking of his daughter Wen Min, he didn't know where he got the courage to say again: "Father insists on embarrassing Wang Changsheng, and I can't stop it." However, in order to take revenge on Wang Changsheng, I want to pay for my daughter's life, I don't agree, and I will stop you from dying. After saying that, he turned around and left without saying hello.

After Wen Rong left, Wen Dao slowly calmed down, and then said to himself coldly: "It's a pity that Wang Changsheng doesn't have a son, it's a pity! Then let him taste the loss of his righteous brother! I don't think it will be better than me losing my grandson." Hahaha. ”

Wen Min is Wen Rong's youngest daughter, who just turned 20 years old this year. Because of the influence of her father since she was a child, she loves poetry and paints well, and she is a famous talented woman. It is said that such a talented woman must be more fond of the dashing and well-educated person. But who knew that this eldest lady fell in love with a general.

In fact, it is understandable that beautiful women love heroes, but if you know who this military general is, you will not think so. It turns out that this general's name is Han Tiehu, and he is the righteous brother of the handsome Wang Changsheng, and he was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. He also had the opportunity to get the true inheritance of Master Xuanku, and his martial arts attainments and Wang Changsheng were also among the best, and he was the world's first-class fierce general. To say that a hero is really a hero, he was a pioneer on the battlefield, and he killed four of the Seven Tigers of Dameng alone, and saved Wang Changsheng's life twice. It's just that this General Han Tiehu is a rough man, and he is even more reckless, and he doesn't know a single big character. If that's all there is to it, the most important thing is another...... How do you say it? For such a hero who defends the country and protects his family, it is a little disrespectful to use other words, so let's say the word "Han." It's not stupid, but it's a little too silly. In this way, Han Tiehu and Miss Wen San are a little incompatible.

However, the things in the world are the most difficult to say. That day Min and Tie Hu met for the first time, that day Min and Tie Hu only smiled at each other, and that day Min and Tie Hu met. The woman is quiet and gentle like water, and the man is sincere, simple and lovely. Rely on each other to read a good book and practice a set of long boxing, like a fairy couple. I wish it would be like this all my life, but why do you cry and laugh in my arms? She is gone, and he is gone, just because he promised to give her a warm embrace, so that even the road to heaven still counts.

Min and Tiehu are already fairy couples.
