Chapter 211 Dr. Wang

In the evening, Wang Jun, who returned from a private residence and a banquet, took a shower and changed his clothes and turned to the next residence. He greeted his elder sister-in-law Li with his wife. He had been in Lingbiao for more than half a year. After he came back, he said hello and was busy, so he was not until now that he had time to have a long talk with his widow sister-in-law.

Wang Jun's nephew Wang Gui was also here. He had just returned from the state school and talked with his mother Li and his uncle and uncle.

Wang Gui likes to study on weekdays. After coming to Huangzhou, he feels like a fish in water. He is so fond of food and sleep when studying in the state. However, reading too much does not make his mind badly read, and his words and demeanors are very appropriate.

When Wang Yun asked about the recent situation of the provincial school, Wang Gui talked endlessly. Huangzhou Provincial School's all-night library is very famous and has a lot of books. Many of the lonely books can be found or even borrowed in the library. He only regrets that the twelve hours a day are too small.

"People always have to sleep. They can't finish reading the books. You can read them tomorrow. Staying up late will hurt your body. Don't make you weak and sick after a slight period."

"What my uncle said is that my nephew keeps it in mind."

"That student Kong, can you still argue?"

"Oh, my nephew is a little unfamiliar with his talent..." Wang Gui felt a little ashamed. Kong Yingda was his classmate, four years younger, but when it comes to knowledge, he was much better than him. Even the famous scholar Liu Zhuo and Liu Xuan praised Kong Yingda.

"Learning is endless, don't be impatient."

Wang Yun taught his nephew that he had to eat and sleep when he was so old, but after all, he practiced martial arts since he was a child and was able to stand up. Wang Gui has always been a scholar, so he was afraid that the other party would find fault when he stayed up late to read books.

Wang Jun was the third son of Wang Sengbian, a famous minister of Southern Liang. He was with his second brother Wang Feng. When the capital of Liang was invaded, he was captured by the Western Wei army to Chang'an. His eldest brother Wang Feng was not in Jiangling at that time and fled to Northern Qi.

Their father Wang Sengbian was in charge of Jiankang at that time and was later killed by Chen Baxian. Therefore, the three Wang brothers had a grudge against the Chen Guan family in the Southern Dynasties. Wang Ying, who was in the Northern Qi Dynasty, died of depression, leaving behind his widow Li and his youngest son Wang Gui to rely on each other.

Zhou State destroyed Qi State, and Wang Feng's brothers took back his widowed sister-in-law and nephew. After a change that began in the second year of Daxiang, Wang Feng went to Yecheng to find a way to join the army to avenge his father, while Wang Feng took his family, widowed sister-in-law and nephew to settle in Xiyang, Huangzhou.

At the end of last year, Wang Feng followed Jiangnan Road to march down, conquered the Chen State's Huainan Prefectures and County and attacked the capital of Jiankang. Wang Feng went south to Jiangzhou and followed the marshal of the Lingnan Road and the Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen, trying to find a different approach by using the method of serving in front of the army.

The approach was initially opened. Wang Xu became an aide to the Xiyang Prince's House, but fate joked to the Wang brothers: Yuchi and Yuwen broke up, and Wang Xu and Wang Feng belonged to two different camps.

This is nothing. When the situation is chaotic, the behavior of the aristocratic families betting on both sides is common. It is nothing to be so aware of this situation in the Wang family. Wang Yun was not worried about Yuwen Wen’s bad views on him, but was worried that his nephew Wang Gui would be stupid in his study.

When he was young, Wang Jun liked wanderers and mingled with the heroes of Chang'an all day long. He was scolded by his brother for not doing his job and studied hard. In just a few years, he stood out and became famous for his erudition. He actually became "Scholar Wang" and "Dr. Wang".

But this is not the result that Wang Jun wanted. He was familiar with military tactics and wanted to gallop on the battlefield, rather than doing knowledge in the old papers. Men should make achievements and win their wives and children, relying on military merits, rather than writing books!

Wang Yun felt that his nephew Wang Gui should not be too addicted to his studies. It would be just right. Both civil and military are the right way. However, now he looked at his nephew's literary appearance, he gave up.

The future of the Wang family must be fought with his second brother Wang Feng. Now it is appropriate for the two brothers to belong to two camps. In the end, no matter which side wins, there are people who will carry the main lever of the Wang family.

Those who survived will continue to take care of themselves and support their nephew Wang Gui, which will also be considered as comforting the spirit of the elder brother Wang Ying. Wang Yun felt that if the world was peaceful in the future and Wang Gui, who would take the literary path, might have good development prospects in his career.

After talking for a long time, Wang Xu asked about the recent situation of the provincial school. After learning that everything was normal, he suddenly asked: "Does the students in the provincial school care about the current situation?"

"How can you not care? From time to time, people will announce the latest news, and everyone often talks about it in their spare time."

Seeing Wang Gui's calm expression when he talked about this, Wang Hu didn't say much. The situation is now extremely dangerous. The students who are not very experienced in the world do not care because they do not have to face a bleak life.

But this kind of thing should be borne by his father. Wang Xu didn't want his nephew to be involved too much, so he didn't say much. Even though he knew about King Qi's eldest grandson and King Xiyang's nephew Yuwen Li studied in the state, he did not ask Wang Gui to approach the other party in order to take a shortcut.

A gentleman loves money and makes it well. If a Wang family wants to make a name for themselves, whether it is literary or martial, they have to rely on their true skills to enter the officialdom, rather than relying on shamelessness and flattery to obtain a single official position.

Wang Feng looked for a way in Yecheng, but did not try to swear by himself. Wang Feng wanted to find another way, so he recommended himself to serve in front of the army, rather than to please the horse, so he would never allow his nephew to do such villainous behavior.

After talking for a while, when it was getting late, Wang Jun and his wife stood up and left.

The two families lived next to each other, just across a wall, but Wang Jun did not open the side door on the wall to facilitate contact. Because he had to take into account the reputation of his and his widowed sister-in-law, the couple left the main door and then entered the house from the main door.

The housekeeper came forward to report that his luggage had been sorted out. Wang Jun nodded and stayed around him. He said to his wife apologetically: "I will leave after a few days of returning, and I will depend on you at home."

"Can't you stay for a few more days before leaving?"

"Tomorrow, Wang Shixiong (Wang Meng) is going to Anlu, and I happened to travel with you. When I arrived in Anlu, I went to Xuanhu, Yuzhou with reinforcements. If I missed this trip, it would be not a good way to go alone."

Wang Jun comforted his wife. He had been away from home for more than half a year and had just returned and had to leave a few days after reuniting with his family. He was indeed a little irresponsible, but some love for his children could not stop his ambitions.

Wang Jun's income (money, grain) during his teaching in the state was enough to cope with the expenses of his family and Wang Gui's family for a long time. Xiyang City was very peaceful, so he had no worries about leaving home again.

There was no worries, but for Wang Hu himself, he had a "foresight worries". He had to follow the steps of King Yuwen of Xiyang, otherwise he would be easily marginalized, so he had to rush to Xuanhu as soon as possible to give advice to King Xiyang.

After more than half a year of observation, Wang Xu roughly summarized Yu Wen Wen's personality traits. The first characteristic is suspicion. This suspicious problem made him wonder if the other party would die prematurely because of excessive use of his brain.

Generally speaking, as an aide, I am most afraid of being suspicious of the house, because this will cause the second problem, that is, indecision.

The staff racked their brains to offer advice, but the head of the house hesitated and delayed his actions, which was enough to drive the staff crazy. It doesn't matter if they were delayed on weekdays, but indecisive in marches and wars would be a life of death.

Fortunately, Wang Jun discovered that the suspicious Yuwen Wen was good at making decisions and the various policies he had decided would never be changed easily. This characteristic is very suitable for being the head of the palace, and there is room for a strategist to display his talents.

But he also found that Yuwen Wen had good military strategy and was very independent. It seemed that it didn't matter whether there were any strategists or not. This was troublesome: If the head of the palace did not need strategists, then what value did he have to say to Yuwen Wen?

Yuwen Wen did not have the Hulin Army, and there seemed to be no counselors to give advice, but he could win consecutive victories in Yuzhou. If this continues, Wang Jun felt that his hope of being reused is becoming increasingly slim.

He is almost forty years old now, and except for his reputation as a little knowledgeable, Wang Jun was unwilling to give up, so he had to fight hard no matter how tired he was. If he didn't hurry to Xuanhu and come to serve in front of another army, his highest achievement in his life would probably be "Dr. Wang".
