1055 No one can stop
In the following period, although personnel transfers in Taiwan were still frequent, at least on the surface the situation was stable. Many ceremonies that had been planned were held one after another, making the previous tense and sorrow seemed to be just a false alarm.
More than twenty days passed quickly, and Shen Zhezi's date of reunion was approaching. Although this time he returned to the capital, his goal was basically achieved, especially gaining the power to receive the system and grant the title, which was even better than the original idea.
But it is not entirely true if there is no regret. The conflicts and disputes with the central government have reached a new intensity, and both sides have even entered the countdown period of ready-to-go.
Another thing is that the relationship with the Yuanzhong has turned bad, and Shen Zhezi had almost no chance to have private contact with the emperor. When he became the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager also lost a lot of intimacy and began to treat him as a powerful vassal.
Shen Zhezi didn't care much about the changes in human relationships. In essence, he was a person who was so rational and affectionate. For him, through the early years of adventure and life-saving love, the Empress Dowager's trust in him will undoubtedly be worthy of the Empress Dowager in the next few years, which is just a deal.
It is hard to maintain warmth in politicians, and it is impossible for him to always be the kind of loyal minister that the Empress Dowager expected for the sake of harmonious relationships. The trade-offs and game of substituting personal feelings into political weighing is an extremely naive approach.
So he was just a little moved about this. Even if he didn't consider other factors, it was the right choice to not take the princess back this time. The wife of his family might have been ready to drift away from her mother's family, but when the facts were really in front of him, it was probably difficult to accept for a while.
While staying in the capital for the last few days, Shen Zhezi also gave his entourage a leave to ask them to return home to report their safety or contact old friendships.
In order to avoid being bored in the capital, Wen Fangzhi invited Murong Ke to accompany him when he returned home. Murong Ke was also curious about the people in the Jiangdong era, especially Wen Qiao, who was famous both north and south, so he hurriedly ordered people to prepare generous gifts and return home with Wen Fangzhi.
After not seeing each other for more than a year, Wen Qiao seemed to be even older, and the various sequelae of the stroke became more obvious. Half of his body was completely paralyzed, and even people needed special care for his diet.
He lay on the side of the bamboo couch. Seeing his son coming in, he barely raised his hand and pointed at Wen Fangzhi. Because he was too excited, his mouth became even more unclear. There were a series of whimpering sounds in his mouth, and only the turbid old eyes emitted a strong light.
Seeing my father's attitude, Wen Fang's heart was already sad. He knelt on the ground and walked in with a thud. He choked and said, "My son is really unfilial. He knew that my father was lying at home, but he still had to stay in Jiangbei and would not return to him for a long time..."
Wen Qiao heard this and covered her mouth and coughed. The second son Wen Shizhi, who served on the other side, stepped forward and carefully gave her father a back. After a mouthful of thick phlegm was spitting into the spittoo, Wen Qiao's breathing became relaxed. He pointed to Wen Fangzhi who was in a hurry and cursed and said, "I am ridiculing your elders and being useless? When I was old, I hope I can rely on my old achievements. I hugged each other with my relatives. What's the use of keeping you, a bad boy... "
As he said that, he raised his hand and planned to slap Wen Fang's brain, but his strength was a bit weak after all, and it was already a little difficult to get halfway through. Seeing this, Wen Fangzhi hurriedly bowed and put his head up, but the powerful slap did not come as expected.
Wen Qiao gently stroked his son's head, his eyes were even more kind. He barely took his son who had grown up into his arms and sighed: "The old tree withered and the young branches flourished. Your father's deeds in this life are full of praise, so how could he fall into his later years? Therefore, his aging body prevented my son from working hard to achieve success... Come on, tell me, what have you made in the north in the past? If you are not worthy of the silence that your father has suffered, the old boxing will never disturb each other!"
Wen Fangzhi was also quite flattered by the warmth that my father had rarely had. He immediately explained the various experiences he had experienced over the past year to his father in detail, and introduced Murong Ke to Wen Qiao.
After learning about Murong Ke's life experience, Wen Qiao expressed great interest, and asked someone to come to the bed to ask carefully about many matters about Liao. Murong Ke also knew that he did not look down on the other party because of his old age, and always maintained a full respectful attitude.
However, although Wen Qiao was very interested, he had limited energy after all. After listening for a while, he quickly closed his eyes and snored evenly. Wen Fangzhi smiled at Murong Ke apologized, and then asked his brother Wen Shizhi to settle Murong Ke in the mansion, while he served in front of his father's bed and did not dare to leave for a moment.
Wen Qiao didn't sleep for a long time. In less than an hour, he turned over and woke up. Seeing Wen Fangzhi who had been hanging his head, a few more relief flashed across his face, signaling Wen Fangzhi to sit on the couch and said in a deep voice: "So, is Mr. Liang planning to let you take over the affairs of Liao?"
"Although Mr. Liang did not say it clearly, this should be the case. His son did not have the ability to be brave in the archery and horses. Even if he had been with Mr. Liang for a long time, he would only know the strategy. The Governor's Office was full of talents. If he only followed this, he would inevitably be incompetent..."
Wen Fangzhi stepped forward and helped his father up, and also told some details about Liang Gong’s recent intentional guidance and teachings, including naturally there are some ideas about his future.
Wen Qiao listened carefully and nodded from time to time. He was full of gratitude for his son's own opinions and plans: "You can see your own strengths and weaknesses, but you can see that your past experience is not wasted. Shen Weizhou is a rare wise choice, and he is willing to protect and teach you. I am relieved to follow him to do things. But you must also remember that you should not be arrogant because of your family's reputation and old relatives. In the future, the forces in the north and south will be in a state of stalemate. If you cannot stand up, you can only rely on your family's wealth. No matter how deep your old love is, you will always be exhausted. How can you be at peace at that time..."
Wen Fangzhi nodded repeatedly, but he was quite eager to speak but stopped. After a while, he sighed: "Duke Liang did his best for the country, worked hard to maintain it, and made great efforts, but he still couldn't be treated fairly... I am worried that there will be a hedge in the north and south of the country in the future. My father is in the hall, my younger brother is young, and there are not many relatives and friends to support me. I, I want to stay at home first, and wait until the storm gradually settles, and then go north to continue to serve..."
"You are ridiculing me for working hard for a long time. I can't protect myself even if I don't say who dares to insult me in this life? Even if there is a disaster, if even your father is not enough to protect himself, what's the use of you even if you stay?"
When Wen Qiao heard this, his old face gradually calmed down, and then there was a light in his eyes. His heroic spirit that had been deficient for a long time was filled with his body again.
Wen Fangzhi quickly lowered his head and said, "I dare not. After a moment, I couldn't help but whisper and asked, "I also have a confusion in my heart to ask my father. At present, it is difficult to endure each other. This attitude is really not beneficial to the country. For the Jin Dynasty and the people's plan, Liang Gong's holding power is truly beneficial to the future. If he loses his position due to the attacks in Taiwan, then all the loyal and righteous choices in the country will be regretful... My father has been through this life for a long time, and I don't know if there is any good strategy to teach me?"
Wen Qiao's eyes turned sharp when he heard this. He stared at his son for a while. Then he smiled bitterly: "Ask this kind of question, are you making things difficult for you? Or overestimate it? I, a elder, have the qualifications to decide on such a big thing? Even if you have something to gain and make a false statement, you will be able to get out of the framework of Shenwei Zhou's pattern?"
After making a few self-deprecating words, Wen Qiao finally couldn't bear it and pointed at Wen Fangzhi and sighed: "You are just a subordinate of the Liang Gong Mansion. If you have too much of your plan, you will lose your duty. Your father worked hard for half his life, and what he could leave you is just a little room for nothing to be the first in everything. As for whether Liang Gong succeeds or fails, this is not something you should worry about, but you have a lot of words. Do you still have any doubts about it? The momentum is successful and the people can't stop it..."
While Wen Qiao's mansion was teaching children, a conversation between elders and younger generations also occurred in the village of Langya County. However, the atmosphere was far less harmonious than Wen's mansion, and it was a bit tense.
After living in the village for a long time, Wang Dao's old attitude has been revealed, and even scars on his forehead and cheeks have grown, making the old man even more haggard, but he has a little calmness and self-containedness, which makes him look elegant.
"I really have no idea what to do. I beg the Grand Tutor to teach me. I hope my family can return to the current situation and eliminate the decay. Is this wrong with this intention? Because I know that the Grand Tutor is getting older and dare not disturb me, is it because of this that the Grand Tutor blames me for making my own decisions?"
Wang Yunzhi frowned deeply, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness and resentment.
He thought he had done everything he had done. Although he had not jumped to the stage, all the actions of all parties were under his plan. With the Yu family entering strongly, it was difficult for them to maintain a stalemate between the two sides, and there would be some turbulent disputes.
In the competition between all parties, the invisible shackles originally imposed on Wang's family will inevitably loosen. Wang Yunzhi is confident that with his ability, he will definitely be able to make more profits in it. Even if he cannot restore the family's old state for a while, he will definitely be able to gain more chips and gain a more favorable position.
However, all of this turned into a flow of water as the two sides compromised. Not only did Wang Yunzhi not be able to make profits, he sacrificed Zhao Yin, the only remaining person in the capital who could exert a slight influence. Especially in this, there was also the factor that Wang Dao came out. Wang Yunzhi's resentment was conceivable!
"Shenyou is probably blaming me for being incompetent and stupid, right?"
After hearing this, Wang Dao smiled slightly, then raised his eyes and stared at Wang Yunzhi, and then sighed for a moment, "I want to ask, Shenyou, what do you want? The arrow that takes off the string is hard to chase. Do you really have to wait until the arrow penetrates the body before regretting it? The old troubles of the court, can't you still warn yourself?"
"I can't agree with the words of the Taifu. If I really follow the previous events, I will dare to say that if I had not raised disasters in the past year, how could the horse slaves have the power to Zhang Xian? In the past, they often used calmness to make beauty, so that the diseases of the pores penetrated into the bone marrow and accumulated into a life-threatening disaster! The Taifu may have been content with the destiny, but I am still in my prime and may not have no strength to fight!"
When Wang Yunzhi said this, his eyebrows were full of resentment, and he was even less respectful to Wang Dao: "I don't ask everyone to help me, but I ask the Grand Tutor to be a little bit of bloody relatives and don't restrain me anymore! Life is so difficult, it's just a death. Even if I don't talk about old grudges and deep grudges, and what I plan is not successful, I will never tolerate the world and laugh at me for being brave!"
After saying that, Wang Yunzhi grew up and ordered his followers to follow him: "Hold my famous letter and ask Zhuge Boyan again, tell him that I want to help him resolve the resentment of the Yu family."
In the room, Director Wang looked at the direction of Wang Yunzhi's departure for a long time and was speechless. Suddenly a lamp flower exploded, and the candlelight swayed. Soon after, the darkness from all directions slowly submerged the old man.
