1087 Prudence
Xi Jian sat alone on the ox cart, with his family in front and behind, walking on the Zhongxiang Road in Langya County. The surrounding scenery was full of the desolation of winter, and Xi Jian's face was filled with sorrow.
His worries were not felt by himself. Although he was indeed extremely rudely neglected in Guidu at first, the situation soon changed. Especially as Chen Chong rushed into the state city and made a fuss, there was a serious lack of candidates in the Taiwan Strait who could be expected to convey messages in the center.
So soon, the Taiwan official welcomed Xi Jian into the court, and all the courtesy was taken after him. Even Zhuge Hui expressed his intention to give up Xi Jian as the Minister of State to let him stay in Taichung to help maintain the situation.
But Xi Jian was not very enthusiastic about this. He let go without even greed about the important towns in Xuzhou. How could he be confused about a void position in the Taiwan Strait? Especially after crossing the river, he could not help but feel even more discouraged and unwilling to use it for those who have their own plans at this age, so he kept saying a lot.
If it weren't for the cold weather, he had already left Jiankang. Although he had stayed for the time being, he did not care about the world. He spent his days idle every day and visited his old friends. Whether the internal and external situation was anxious or not, it had nothing to do with him. He just waited for the warmth of spring and set off for the city and returned to his hometown to die.
The New Year of Xianhe thirteenth year showed a sense of bleakness. Although many ceremonies were laid out in extreme luxury, many important officials since the Revival were absent. Wang Dao himself didn't need to say that even Wen Qiao was sick in the cold winter and was almost dying. His son Wen Fangzhi urgently returned south and served in front of his bed day and night.
Xi Jian was moved by this, and even some shop affairs of customs and etiquette were lazy to deal with. He was said to be seriously ill and would occasionally go out to visit his old friends.
He left Wang Dao's mansion today. Wang Dao's condition was very serious and he was completely exhausted. Xi Jian sat in his house for nearly an hour. He only woke up and gave a greeting for half a quarter of an hour, and then fell asleep again. He occasionally called out his son Wang Changyu's name in his sleep, and some silly nagging that people could not hear clearly.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of carriages and horses running on the road ahead, and a carriage rushed towards the road, causing Xi Jian's followers to shrink and surround him, and were very alert.
Two cars passed by, and suddenly the carriage stopped and jumped out of the carriage, a haggard and dusty person was Wang Tian who returned home in a hurry.
"Is Mr. Xi on the car? Mr. Xi is walking in the village. I wonder if he has passed by my house? Have you ever met my father? My father is here..."
Wang Tian recognized Xi Jian's ceremonial guard and rushed forward and asked, his voice was extremely dry.
Xi Jian poked his head out of the car, and saw Wang Tian like this, he sighed: "It turned out to be Jingyu, you finally came back. The Taifu was seriously ill, but he was still stubborn and reluctant to leave. Maybe he was obsessed with wanting to see his son again..."
When Wang Tian heard this, tears rolled out from his eyes, and he choked and said with a grudge: "If it weren't for the evil slaves hiding their father's feelings and making me ignorant, my father wouldn't have suffered this torment! Thank you Mr. Xi for visiting me, forgive me for being rude, and let me go back first."
"Run quickly."
After hearing this, Xi Jian waved his hand, and then looked at Wang Tian's carriage and ran towards the door. After a while, he asked his family to continue on the road.
When he returned to the residence arranged in the stage, Xi Jian immediately ordered his family: "Call Alang here!"
Xi Yin has been in the capital recently. Through his own efforts, he has won full respect among the young people in the world. After a long time, his family has been able to find him in a Wu family in the south of the capital, and then hurried home.
When his son returned, Xi Jian didn't say much nonsense and directly ordered: "Is there still people in Wuxiang who have left the capital in recent days? Hurry up and prepare, and will be with those travelers in Wuxiang in the past few days and go to Wuzhong first. Haven't you been yearning to see the scenery of Wuxiang? Let's stay there first. Without my message, you are not allowed to return to the capital."
When Xi Yin heard this, he was stunned. Although he was living happily in his heart, he actually wanted to take care of his father nearby. Therefore, although many new friends from Wu were invited, he did not dare to leave without hesitation. He was still hesitating, but Xi Jian urged him a few more times, asking him to go back and get some luggage now.
Not to mention that Xi Jian drove his son to leave the capital immediately, there was another scene within the Wang family. As Wang Dao's condition became increasingly serious, most of the tribes scattered in Kinki Township also returned, and the mansion was overcrowded.
When Wang Tian returned home, he caused a commotion at home. Many families went out to greet him, but Wang Tian was not patient to exchange unnecessary greetings with these people, but just told his family to quickly lead him to his father's residence.
After reaching the warm pavilion, Wang Tian walked in quietly. He leaned his head from the side of the screen and saw his father standing across the bed, with white hair and sick and withered face. He couldn't help but choke and make a sound.
In order not to disturb his father who was sleeping lightly, Wang Tian hurriedly covered his face and hurriedly left the bath and changed clothes under the guidance of his family. Then he hurriedly returned to the warm room, instructing his two sons and brothers who had been vigilant for many days and had been exhausted, and he left to rest first, while he sat outside the screen, listening to the sound of his father's breathing while closing his eyes to rest.
"Silang, Chihu has returned home!"
As early as when Wang Tian’s car driver had just appeared outside his home, Wang Yunzhi in the house had already received the news.
Wang Yunzhi has been living in seclusion for a while, at least on the surface, and he has been extremely at peace. In fact, he has been controlling the defense of the entire Wang family. At this time, when he heard the news of Wang Tian’s return, a look of joy suddenly appeared on Wang Yunzhi’s face.
Unlike Yu Yi's guess, Wang Yunzhi not only did not resist Wang Tian's return, but was looking forward to it. So after receiving the news, he immediately put on his plain robe, and after Wang Tian took a shower and changed his clothes, he then turned into the warm pavilion. He slowly walked into it, looked at Wang Tian and nodded slightly, and then sat down in the outdoor room.
Wang Dao's sleep is very uneasy, and he often talks in his dreams. He occasionally calls out the names of his family. Among them, the most frequently called out was Wang Jingyu, followed by the third son Wang Qia. Although Wang Tian was called out occasionally, the frequency was not as high as that of the two brothers.
Wang Tian is often a little angry at the victory, but now seeing his father like this, what is there to worry about? But he can't help but feel a little self-deprecating in his heart.
Time passed quietly, until the time of lighting, probably because he felt the change of light, Director Wang slowly opened his eyes, his vision was confused for a long time before gradually gaining focus, and then he saw Wang Tian standing beside the couch, with a trace of confusion flashing across his face, and then hesitated: "You, are you Chihu? Anu, your father is about to be, be... "
"Grandma, it's me, my son is back!"
When Wang Tian heard this, his eyes suddenly became wet. He bent down to grab his father's slowly raised dry wrist and said with a trembling voice.
"Here you back? Go back... Come back! Whoever allows you to come back, who asks you to come back..."
Director Wang originally thought he was still in a dream, but when his wrist was held by his son, his face suddenly changed. His whole body trembled. He pointed at Wang Tian and sniffed, so excited that he couldn't even speak. However, his expression was not as joy as the dying old man who saw the wanderer finally return home.
Seeing this, Wang Tian's expression suddenly froze, and his eager mood suddenly became cold. At this time, Wang Yunzhi hurriedly walked in from the outer room, and pulled him out with his hands holding the stiff body, and then instructed his family to send the doctor to take care of the Taifu.
Wang Tian was pulled out of the warm pavilion, but he was still stunned and looked at Wang Yunzhi with a tragic smile: "I know that the fourth brother has always been disgusted with me, and it is hard to compare with the same room. I dare not ask for favor, but why did the father and son come to this? He had ordered his family to bully me before. As for this situation, he didn't even want to see me, and he didn't want me to be filial to me..."
After hearing this, Wang Yunzhi's face suddenly sank: "What happened? No wonder Chihu, you almost came back... However, I think this should not be the original intention of the Taifu. It should be that there was a evil slave who was distracted and affectionate. The Taifu is confused and it is not convenient to ask in detail. Please follow me first and ask Qiyan who is betrayed by the Taifu!"
"Oh, I really have no plans now. If you have done anything to you, Brother Four, who is the one who makes you hate me..."
Wang Yunzhi and others said this. When he heard Wang Tian say this, he immediately ordered his subordinates who had been on standby to rush into the house and arrested all the people in his hometown every day.
This naturally aroused a turmoil in the house, and even many people rose up to resist. However, Wang Tian was also in a disorderly mood at this moment, and he just wanted to find out why his father was disgusted with him. He followed Wang Yunzhi himself, and saw those people in his hometown being captured one by one, and then he entered an independent courtyard prepared by Wang Yunzhi and went inside to interrogate.
After Wang Yunzhi sent Wang Tian into the yard, he hurried out and ordered the leaders at the door: "Precaution the door here strictly, and prohibit anyone from entering and leaving, and wait for me to return!"
After saying that, he went straight to the warm pavilion where Director Wang was. At this moment, a large group of people were busy around Director Wang. Wang Yunzhi was not in a hurry and stood silently on one side. When Director Wang's condition improved slightly, he drank all his family and walked slowly into the room.
Dao Wang's emotions were already stable, but when he saw Wang Yunzhi's move, his emotions became excited again. His old finger pointed directly at Wang Yunzhi, and his eyes widened even more.
"I dare not expect the Grand Tutor to understand my painstaking efforts, but the return of Chihu seems to be God's will. After my death, Yu Shijin no longer dares to make any delusions. Even if he has made plans, he just hopes to support Chihu and return to the current situation and restore my family's old situation, without any selfish thoughts!"
Wang Yunzhi knelt deep in front of Wang Dao's couch, and when he raised his head, his eyes had turned red: "I dare not argue if the Taifu is looking at me for rebellion. But it is not easy for my family to exist from south to north, and there are many relatives who have lived a life. How could I be broken into this world? When my father splashed blood on my head, how could I feel? Can the Taifu understand it? At that time, the Taifu sent a message to save himself, but I wonder if he would forget it?"
"What is self-salvation? I really don't know, but I will never forget it until my death. My father's life is extended by his life. I cannot see him die and ruin his achievements. Since the Taifu is lazy to make progress, then leave it to me! I beg the Taifu to be able to remember the old things and save himself a little, and stop tonight!"
After saying that, Wang Yunzhi got up and walked out of the warm pavilion, instructed his confidant to attract Wang Tian, Wang Qia and other brothers here, and then replaced Wang Dao's old man with his own troops to defend this place firmly.
At the same time, he summoned someone to instruct: "So quickly go to Liyang to inform Yu Zhigong that you can start!"
