old grace

After the abolition of the prime minister's mansion, many subordinates were directly recommended by Fu Chuan as officials in the six ministries of the three provinces, which did not cause much turmoil.

The emperor was the same as before. When Fu Chuan was around, he watched more and listened less. Only when Fu Chuan was absent on purpose would he try to listen to advice and slowly take over the government.

After several years of management by Fu Chuan, the court structure is no longer what it used to be.

Among the six tribes, most of them are poor families, and the Heyang family is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.Although the newly grown-up humble scholars are also reuniting with the party, the roots of the Han family are even more complicated and unclear. After all, the family is no longer the only one, and the emperor manages it smoothly.

What surprised the emperor the most was that when Su Zi went to Hanshan to worship Yezu every year, he actually tricked more than a dozen "immortals" into going down the mountain!

These so-called "immortals" are all outer disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect.They didn't go through the back door to enter the imperial court, they all passed the Jinshi examination, and they all got the status of Jinshi without any suspense.After the ink scroll was posted, Shilin was convinced.Xie Qinghe selected two people to stay with the emperor as servants, Fu Chuan also selected two people to enter the Shangshu Province, and the rest were divided into six departments, neither party nor group, each doing his own thing.

——The reason is simple. Ordinary court officials are sanctioned by the laws of the country. Once they become officials, they have the power to play with the laws of the country, so they are naturally arrogant.

This group of outer disciples from the Hanjiang Sword Sect is different. Whether they violate the laws of the country is another matter. No matter how capable they are in playing with the laws and regulations of the country, the family laws and clan rules of the Hanjiang Sword Sect are not just for fun.The moral requirements of monks outside the world are ten times higher than those of ordinary people. Going down the mountain is for practice and experience, and it is also the duty of a monk to govern the country and care for the people.

This is the serious saying "The people are easy to be abused, but the gods are hard to bully". In addition to the laws of the country, there are still heavenly punishments.

Both Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan were monks, and the group of immortals who had just entered the court and surrounded the emperor were also monks, and they all followed the way of heaven in governing the world and mobilizing the people.

What is the way of heaven?

The way of the sky is more than damage but not enough to make up for.

Hua'an has a good harvest, and the surplus grain is transferred to help Xixiang.The poor and unskilled in Nanjun, Zijiang Dong Gaoshi went south to educate the barbarians.

Gradually, everything in the court was on the right track, and Fu Chuan was freed from government affairs, freeing up his hands to concentrate on reorganizing the army.

Among the Heyang family, the Tian family knows the current affairs best.

Seeing that the Lang family and the Xiao family were unwilling to stand out, and Fu Chuan patiently recruited troops to appease the people. Sooner or later, the imperial power would go to the countryside and the barriers of the aristocratic family between the court and the people would be removed. Tian Zhen was the first to surrender and gave up on Jiahe. The control of the county, in exchange for more children of the Tian family to enter the dynasty.

Naturally, the Lang family and the Xiao family were deeply furious, and wrote letters to scold Tian Zhen.

Afterwards, Lang Hui went to Beijing in person, and had two drinks with Fu Chuan. Not long after, there was news of the expansion of hermitage from the Lang family.

Only the Xiao family couldn't let go of their face.

The Tian family has basically never died in these years, that is, when Han Shushi was in control of Beijing, he killed the Tian family's censor. However, Han Shushi has been dead for so long, and the current imperial court is not Han. The truth of the dead.

The same goes for the Lang family.Lang Zexin was poisoned by the Han family, it has nothing to do with the imperial court or Fu Chuan.

The Xiao family is different.

The second master of their family died at the hands of Fu Chuan, and was punished by the Ming Dynasty, beheaded and abandoned the market.

At that time, so many people were alarmed to intercede, and so many benefits were sacrificed, but Fu Chuan just refused to nod, refused to forgive!

In addition to the emotional harm, the Xiao family hated Fu Chuan extremely, which also involved the issue of face.Back then Fu Chuan insisted on executing Xiao Zuoxuan, but the Xiao family went all out and failed to save him, it was too embarrassing!At this time, if they bowed their heads to the imperial court dominated by Fu Chuan, what face would the Xiao family have in calling themselves a family in the future?

"Both the Tian family and the Lang family have come to offer peace, and the Xiao family can't stand alone. It is not appropriate to rush into this matter." Fu Chuan said to the emperor.

The emperor was young and energetic, so he naturally had the problem of being hot-blooded.

Now the situation in the imperial court is very good, the treasury is gradually getting richer, and the outer counties are also full of news that the common people are farming safely and people's hearts are returning.

Among the three counties in Heyang, only the Xiao family is still gritting their teeth as a nail household.The Tongzheng Envoy's Yamen is useless in Yang'an County, and the Six Departments can't gain a foothold in Yang'an County at all.Yang'an County still decides on its own punishment and prison, the household registration booklet is still the foundation of the previous dynasty, and the imperial grain and national tax are paid, but the small amount paid is even a child's hahaha.

Before the Tian family and the Lang family knelt down, the emperor would not point his gun at the Xiao family.Now only the Xiao family is left, and there is such a thorn in the side of the big map, the emperor is naturally very angry: What are you so good at?Hit you!

Fu Chuan knew that the entire army was full of iron and blood, and the army was ready to fight, but when he talked to the emperor, he poured cold water down.

"The yamen go in first, and handle everything in detail. The world is still the world of your majesty. The relationship between the imperial court and the local government is nothing more than soldiers, food, and people's livelihood. Just punish one by one." Fu Chuan did not support the Xiao family soldiers.

If the Lang family, the Tian family and the Xiao family were united, the three counties of Heyang would not bow their heads, they would definitely fight, and the three counties of Heyang would make trouble together, which could be called a deep-rooted worry.Now that two of the three families have sued for peace, Fu Chuan believes that there is no need to initiate a civil war.

The emperor was deeply convinced by Fu Chuan. Since Fu Chuan didn't want to fight, he had no choice but to press down on his temperament of wishing for the imperial conquest.

The ruling and opposition parties are watching, wondering what will happen to Fu Chuan.

Fu Chuan went out the back door openly and openly, and Jianba Zhou Chengxuan entered the court. Yesterday, the court was still standing stupidly outside the Golden Palace. Today, an imperial edict was conferred as the prefect of Yang'an County, and the official residence is the third rank.Followed by the luxurious staff team used by the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dai Tianmu hunted Yang'an County.

The Xiao family almost vomited blood.

Who is Zhou Chengxuan?

The grandson of Mrs. Chen, the youngest son of Sanniang, and the young disciple of Prime Minister Fu, that is, the famous Erlang.

This person has not read a few books, that is, he can barely read, and he is not qualified to be a book boy serving pen and ink in a scholarly family.His elder brother Zhou Chengting has also been compiling history books and poems for a few years, and he barely looks like a scholar. Zhou Chengxuan disappeared with Mr. Da for six years, and he really didn't learn anything except fighting.

However, Erlang doesn't have the talent of Mushou Fang, but the luxurious staff team equipped by Fu Chuan has it!

With Erlang present, the imperial court did not have to station troops in Yang'an County, as Erlang alone could handle most of the disputes.

The subordinates acted according to the rules, and Erlang couldn't figure it out anyway, so he just sat with him and took care of the place.When encountering local people who resist the law openly and secretly, and the people below come to ask for help, Erlang puts down his teacup and comes out. As the prefect, he already has the power to take advantage of the opportunity, so he doesn't need to play.

Encountering such a violent prefect who can serve as a million soldiers alone, Yang'an County was devastated.

The imperial court did not send heavy troops to besiege, but only ruled the place in accordance with the laws of the country.Soft resistance and non-cooperation will be violently suppressed by the prefect, and the end of violent resistance to the law will be even worse. If the prefect takes it down, you will lose your head immediately.Cutting flesh with a blunt knife, the Xiao family saw the prefect's minions getting deeper and further away, and the family had less and less control, it really hurt.

With the increasing pressure from the imperial court, the Xiao family was divided, and the main fighters couldn't bear it anymore and launched a counterattack against the prefect's mansion.

Erlang brought nearly a hundred guards of the Han family's mansion, and it is not a big problem to protect the staff and subordinates of the prefect's mansion. It is very troublesome to fight with thousands of private soldiers of the Xiao family. The willingness to kill in civil war.

Erlang went out secretly, took the head of the thief, and went to negotiate with the peace faction of the Xiao family.

"You can't kill me. What's more, even if you kill me, can you resist the imperial court's siege? Are you willing to destroy your family?"

"I'll return Uncle Xiao's head to you. Think of your own way. If you withdraw before dawn, I will report this matter to the prime minister in a private message. After dawn, if there is still a private soldier from the Xiao family in front of the prefect's mansion, the Xiao family will besieged." I will make it clear and straightforward about the matter of the prefect's mansion, so that everyone in the government and the public know."

"You can figure it out."

Erlang pretended to be aggressive in Xiao's house, but he didn't have any confidence in his heart, so he returned to the prefect's mansion and transported away a few precious staff.

"Little master has given me thousands of warnings. If you lose Yang'an County, you can't lose you gentlemen. At this moment, the Xiao family can't explain the situation clearly. I will ask you to escort you out first. General Han will meet you over there. It’s safe to go to Hanjiang.” Erlang thought for a while, then said, “No, I have to personally escort, in case they are robbed halfway.”

The remaining guards looked at each other in blank dismay, Mr. Taishou, are you escorting Mr., or are you planning to run away by yourself?

Erlang led the guards to escort several staff members all the way, Han Zhuwen had already led his troops to the bank of the cold river to greet him: "Second brother, why don't you return?"

"It's your responsibility to guard the land." Erlang carefully helped several staff members onto the boat, and greeted Han Zhuwen, "I've taken care of it. If there is nothing wrong with me, I still need to come to pick up people, so don't be too anxious to send them back to the capital."

That cautious and reluctant appearance made several staff members laugh.

Zhou Taishou can only "guard the soil" and can't do anything else. How can the daily public affairs be separated from the staff and gentlemen?

■

Erlang served three terms in Yang'an County, one term was three years, that is nine years.

Since then, there have been no troubles in Yang'an County, not only all matters in Yang'an County have been decided by Erlang, but the prefect of Jiahe County next door often invites him to town.For this reason, the imperial court rewarded Erlang several times, and added false titles and titles, but nothing was lost.

Mrs. Chen often sighs: "Our family also has a title, which can be passed on to all descendants."

After hearing this, Sanniang remained silent.

Now that you have the title, where are your descendants?

Da Lang was about to get married when his fiancée died.Da Lang has no intention of discussing marriage again, and he is devoted to curing diseases and saving lives, and often walks in the countryside.Xie Qinghe once advised him that although people are guilty, they are not as good as their children and grandchildren.Da Lang, however, had a deep heart for Yu Yanshu's death: "I asked her to take care of Mrs. Yin in the Prime Minister's Mansion that night."

Unless Da Lang figured it out, no one could untie this knot.Xie Qinghe could only sigh.

Erlang is even more out of line.First, he followed Xie Qinghe to live in seclusion in Mangshan Mountain for six years, and after he came back, he was busy with Fu Chuan.Sanniang also once led him to date women of the right age, and he felt that it was a waste of time: "I'm so busy every day, how can I have time to have a baby?"

Sanniang was so angry that she scolded him: "Is it for you to give birth? Can you give birth? Didn't you let your daughter-in-law give birth?!"

No matter what Sanniang scolds, Erlang just refuses to marry a wife.Erlang went to Yang'an County, and Sanniang couldn't catch him, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Nine years later, Erlang finally retired from the prefect of Yang'an County. Mrs. Chen and Sanniang were ready to fight, each with a handful of roster portraits of ladies, determined to escort Erlang to a blind date. ——If they don't match, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who are anxious to get angry, plan to ignore Erlang's thoughts, and the two of them discuss and decide on one.

Dalang didn't dare to force him.After all, when Dalang and Yu Yanshu were engaged, Sanniang and Widow Wang were the ones who made the arrangements. Today, Widow Wang was forced to live in seclusion, and Yu Yanshu also died in the prime minister's mansion. Dalang was ashamed and refused to do it again. Chanjuan thought, Mrs. Chen and Sanniang felt sorry for him, and they didn't want to persecute him any more.

Erlang is different.The youngest son has not suffered any trauma, he is alive and well and has a good temper, isn't he just playful?How many men and wives raise eyebrows and gamble with books and drink tea every day?Just leave a seed to have a few children, and there are children's laughter in the house.

Who would have thought that no matter how well prepared the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were, Erlang couldn't hold back and brought home a giant thunder.

"This is Xiao Jin." Erlang introduced to Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan, "It's a kid I met during my tenure."

Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan's expressions remained unchanged, Sanniang was a little suspicious, and Old Madam Chen was even more strange.Because this Xiao Jin looks too much like a deceased friend.

Following Erlang's etiquette, Xiao Jin kowtowed to Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan, and said, "Disciple Xiao Jin, pay homage to the two masters."

This is even more strange.

Can Master recognize it casually?Especially with the current identities of Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan, how could it be possible to recognize apprentices casually?

Erlang said with a smile: "Master, little master, this disciple has already made a promise with Xiaojin."

Mrs. Chen drank jujube tea.This sentence made her anxious, a date was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't spit it out for a long time.

Sanniang didn't care about her son's bombing, so she went to slap her mother-in-law's vest first. Fortunately, after Mrs. Chen's cultivation was deep and her mood stabilized, she sprayed hard and sprayed out the red dates that blocked her throat.After a false alarm, Sanniang changed old lady Chen to a bottle of honey water, then looked at Erlang and Xiao Jin who was following him, and said, "You...you...you dare to bring it home? !"

Xiao Jin bowed his head and remained silent.

Xie Qinghe glanced at the two of them, he wanted to ask a question, but remembering that his younger brother had eaten this vinegar, it was not good for him to come forward to resolve this matter for Erlang alone.So, he decided to hand it over to his junior brother, and immediately leaned on the table, playing with the fan pendant.

Fu Chuan was surprised that he didn't speak, and met Xie Qinghe's eyes, and immediately realized that the senior brother was jealous of his own feelings.

He and Xie Qinghe have the same attitude.Erlang likes men, what's the problem for them?Sanniang and Mrs. Chen disagreed, but he and Xie Qinghe would definitely support it.Xie Qinghe once said that Erlang's affairs will be handled by him, so of course he won't show up at this time.

On the one hand, Fu Chuan felt that the elder brother really made a big fuss. After so many years, he still remembered his little awkwardness at the beginning, which made him seem petty, but he couldn't help but feel very sweet.

It's not a matter of being jealous, and it's impossible for him to be jealous of his little apprentice after so many years.

The point of this matter is that the senior brother still remembers the small things in the past so many years so clearly, and puts them in his heart so seriously, and keeps his feelings in mind everywhere. This is not for Erlang, but for him.

Living in the world, there will always be many embarrassments and discomforts. When Xie Qinghe gets along with Fu Chuan, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts.

Fu Chuan felt that the sweetest thing was that the sadness he endured in front of his elder brother would never be repeated again.

Eldest brother will always protect him, the first time is an accident, the second time?There will never be a second time.

"It's been a tiring journey, let's sit down and have a cup of tea first." Fu Chuan Erlang and Xiao Jin gave up their seats.

Xiao Jin was born in a family with strict rules and regulations. Erlang brought the man home for a showdown. Xiao Jin thought that he would drag him out and beat him to death if he made trouble. Sanniang only questioned him, and Xiao Jin became very nervous and bowed his head. Be very careful with your feet.Erlang is different from him, how can there be so many rules in the small sect?When San Niang beat him with a rolling pin when he was a child, he ran away with oil on the soles of his feet, without any sense of awe.

That is to say, Xie Qinghe's Fu Chuan can make Erlang feel a little scared.However, Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan's attitudes were very peaceful, and Erlang felt that it was not a big deal - he understood what Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan were thinking, and if Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan were both rigid and strict, he would not dare to take Xiao Jin home.

"I just want to ask you two things, tell the truth." Fu Chuan turned to Erlang.

Erlang nodded quickly: "Don't dare to lie."

"Everyone knows what you are doing in Yang'an County. Your kid's surname is Xiao, presumably he is the son of the Xiao family?" Fu Chuan asked.

When Xiao Jin heard the question, he got up and bowed deeply, and replied: "The younger generation is the sixth and third son of the Xiao family. My father is Xiao Baoying, and my mother is from the Lang family."

Fu Chuan nodded: "Okay. Please sit down."

Xiao Jin sat down in a daze.

I heard Fu Chuan ask Erlang: "Have you ever used your power and background to force the Xiao family to donate a son to you? After you met him, have you ever used your power and status to bully and threaten him? - Don't tell me to ask him. Say it yourself, tell the truth. One word is a lie, try it!"

Xiao Jin was shocked when he heard it, and Erlang was also taken aback, shouting injustice: "Where am I...I don't have it!"

Xiao Jin hurriedly explained for him: "Prime Minister Rong, this junior and Zhou Lang... Mr. Zhou met while hunting. Because of their congenial words and similar interests, they met and played a few times, and slowly felt... that they get along frequently. It's hard to say who took the initiative to rush this matter. In short, Mr. Zhou has absolutely no intention of persecuting and oppressing, it is all voluntary by the younger generation."

Erlang was extremely wronged and could only nod his head.

When Xiao Jin said something, he nodded and kept nodding: "Yes, yes, yes, that's it!"

Sanniang reprimanded him at the slightest bit: "Then you can't spend your whole life with a man! You're wrong!"

Erlang asked her back: "Didn't Aunt live with a man for the rest of her life?"

Sanniang was taken aback by the words, and suddenly found that she was surrounded by her son, she was so angry that she wanted to punch him: "Because Aniang is a woman! If you are a woman, you can live with a man for the rest of your life!"

The mother and son quarreled not badly, but Sanniang's attitude was very firm, and Xiao Jin stood there with his hands down, very embarrassed.

Fu Chuan asked in a soft voice: "Aniang, can I decide with Eldest Brother about Erlang's marriage?"

Sanniang stuttered when asked.She and Mrs. Chen are both women who obey women's morals, otherwise it would be impossible for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along for so many years without any quarrel with each other.The so-called obedience to women means that women are not considered to be the masters of the family, and there must always be a man who is the master of the family.

As early as many years ago, Xie Qinghe was regarded as the eldest head of the family. Of course, weddings and funerals must be arranged by Xie Qinghe.

If Xie Qinghe is not here, Fu Chuan will be the master.

Normally Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan didn't care about the Zhou family's private affairs, but now that Fu Chuan asked if he could take care of them, Sanniang had a point in his heart.

——If you can't manage it, you don't recognize Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan as the parents.

Since the Zhou family followed Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan, they got rid of poverty and lowliness. The old man prolongs his life and enjoys his twilight years, and the children are also born and married to honor their ancestors. At this time, they turned their faces and said, "You don't care about my children's marriage. You can't care about it - it makes sense. what?

Sanniang and Mrs. Chen looked at each other, and said softly: "Naturally, I have to follow the orders of the two masters. But, little master, there are only two seedlings in the Zhou family. Dalang refuses to marry a wife and have children, Erlang and ...and so...how can I be worthy of their father?"

"Aniang, do you remember when Erlang was born? Did he look good? How old was he? Did he have lanugo?" Fu Chuan asked suddenly.

Erlang and Xiao Jin both looked at each other.

No mother would ever forget the appearance of the child when it was born. Although Sanniang was very puzzled, she was still very excited when Fu Chuan talked to her about Erlang's childhood, and she said happily: "He was beautiful when he was young, and his mother-in-law knew about it." , a child who is very clean, the midwife said that she has never seen such a clean child, the lanugo grows very well, it is smooth and slippery..."

Erlang couldn't stand it anymore, he wanted to interrupt this unmanly conversation, but he was afraid of Fu Chuan and dared not say a word.

Fu Chuan reminds Sanniang of Erlang's childhood.Erlang was naughty and cute when he was a child. When the Zhou family was not in trouble, they could eat enough. Erlang liked to eat candy, which is a rare commodity. Sanniang refused to buy more. It was Mrs. Chen who opened a private house for her two grandchildren. Buy candy to eat.Erlang would steal Dalang's candy, pretend that his own candy was gone, and pester Mrs. Chen to buy it again...

"He, I don't know who he is following. He is sweet-tongued and cunning. He knows he is playing tricks, but he is reluctant to expose him." Sanniang recalled the past of her youngest son, her eyes were filled with kindness and tenderness.

Later, an accident happened, Mrs. Chen was paralyzed on the bed, Dalang became a "fool", and spent all his family property seeking medical treatment. Sanniang supported the family alone. Erlang grew up quickly, helping and caring for his mother in various ways. .Sanniang cried when she said it.

Erlang was even more unaccustomed: "Little Master, A Niang, it's just...almost okay?"

Seeing Sanniang wiping his tears, Fu Chuan asked her: "You raise a real person. He is your child. He will obey you and honor you all his life. You gave birth to him and raised him once. Don't you love him?" Is it only as an object to pass incense? Is incense more important than the rest of his life? Are you willing to let him be depressed all his life, just to leave a descendant for your husband? "

Both Erlang and Xiao Jin were shocked by Fu Chuan's words.

Between monarch and minister, father and son, there is no relationship but obligation.It is also the most basic responsibility for a man to marry a wife and have children for the family to reproduce.A man like Erlang and Xiao Jin who dated a man for a lifetime and would never marry a wife and have children was a mistake and a sin.

Even they themselves think so.

Erlang is nothing more than because his mother and grandmother can't control him, the two masters are open-minded and should not object, Xiao Jin is relying on Erlang's power and status, and his parents and family dare not object, so he came to the showdown in such a grandiose manner.

——They don't think they are right, they just happen to have the conditions and confidence to make mistakes.

Who knows that in Fu Chuan's theory, the two of them are not wrong at all.Not only are they right, but if their relatives force them to separate and "take the right path", it is truly unkind and heartless.

Sanniang was asked for a long time without saying a word, and the tears that had been wiped away fell even more urgently.

Erlang is the flesh that fell from her body, how could she not love her child?Fu Chuan led her to recall what happened to Erlang in the past, and when she was emotionally surging, she felt more and more distressed about her youngest son.It's just that she has softened her heart, it's not easy to open this hole.

Because Erlang inherited her husband's incense.She doesn't care about her husband's incense, what about Mrs. Chen?

Mrs. Chen sighed, and said: "Let him be happy. There are always evil winds in dramas that beat mandarin ducks. You and I are old and old. Don't be a bad person who will be hated by your children and grandchildren. My surname is Chen, your surname is Yang, Zhou The family's incense, and the children of the Zhou family don't care about it, so what's the rush for you and me outsiders?"

Sanniang just waited for old lady Chen to speak, and wiped her tears when she heard the words, and went to salute old lady Chen: "On behalf of my son, I would like to thank my mother-in-law for her kindness. Erlang, why don't you come and kowtow to Eminem?"

Erlang gave Fu Chuan a thumbs up quietly, and went with Xiao Jin to kowtow to Old Madam Chen and Sanniang, and even changed their names in a mess.

——Xiao Jin began to call himself after Erlang, but after being opposed by Sanniang, he changed his name to follow himself, and now he followed Erlang again.

Over there, the mother and mother screamed for a while, and the old lady Chen took off the bracelets and held Xiao Jin's hand. Then she suddenly realized that with such a thick arm, my grandson brought home a man!So I didn't know what to do with the bracelet in my hand.

Sanniang quickly put the bracelet on her wrist.

Mrs. Chen picked another piece of jade pendant, put it in Xiao Jin's hand, and said: "This is a birthday present from Mr. Da when the old lady celebrates her [-]th birthday. Remarriage will be refunded to the old woman."

Erlang and Sanniang couldn't laugh or cry.

Xiao Jin glanced at Erlang, Erlang nodded, and then he accepted the jade pendant, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, grandma. My son and Zhou Lang have an appointment to marry each other, and they will not remarry."

Suddenly they recognized their relatives in a friendly way, and Erlang brought Xiao Jin to pay respects to Qinghe and Fu Chuan.

Erlang and Xiao Jin were very happy. No one thought that this matter could be resolved so satisfactorily.When he came to kowtow to Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan, Erlang's face was full of excitement, and Xiao Jin also relaxed a lot-knowing that he is welcomed, it feels much better than being rejected.

Unexpectedly, they were stopped by Fu Chuan before they bowed down: "Wait a minute, I have to ask you something."

Not to mention that Erlang is deeply convinced by Fu Chuan, Xiao Jin is only seeing him for the first time, and he has already been convinced by his two words.

Asking Erlang whether he is bullying others proves that Fufu's family is noble and upright, and asking Sanniang whether he prefers incense or Jiaoer shows his kindness. Such an elder is in charge of the house, and the family seems to have the magic needle of Dinghai, is it true? There is no need to worry about the future direction at all.

Fu Chuan wanted to ask questions, but both Erlang and Xiao Jin believed that this matter must be important, and listened carefully.

Fu Chuan pondered for a moment, then asked slowly: "You little friend, do you know that you and Lang Zexin used to be old friends?"

Sanniang covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and Old Madam Chen also looked solemn.

Anyone with eyes can tell that Xiao Jin and Lang Ze Xin are seven points alike, especially the pair of eyebrows and eyes. When he looks at him so suddenly, he almost thinks he is seeing Lang Ze Xin's son.Erlang has a good relationship with Langze Xin. Langze Xin died more than ten years ago. He brought back a young man who looked exactly like Lang Zexin. Wouldn't it make people suspicious when he said that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with someone?

Erlang pursed his lips, but did not speak.

It was Xiao Jin who came forward and explained: "Little master, my mother's surname is Lang, and her daughter's name is Zeping. Lang Zexin is the uncle of the disciple. The friendship between Zhou Lang and his uncle is not a secret at home. The disciple knows him because of his good looks. Like an uncle. This matter has never been concealed. Zhou Lang treats his disciples with sincerity, neither bullying, intimidation, nor bullying, and disciples love him very much."

After speaking, Xiao Jin gave another deep salute, bowed and said: "Thank you, little master, for your kindness and concern, and this disciple is very grateful."

Usually parents will protect their weaknesses, like Fu Chuan, neither Erlang is allowed to bully others, nor Erlang is allowed to deceive Xiao Jin, using Xiao Jin as a substitute to play with feelings, of course it can be called "public heart".With the fact that Fu Chuan helped persuade Sanniang earlier, Xiao Jin would not misunderstand that Fu Chuan deliberately pointed out that this matter was to separate him and Erlang.

Here Xiao Jin saluted and stood up, and Erlang said aggrievedly: "Little master, in your heart, how bad am I?!"

Xiao Jin silently looked at him with a hint of surprise in his eyes.Zhou Lang, who has always been calm and domineering, loves acting like a baby in front of the master?

Xie Qinghe is the real short-suffering madman, Erlang just complained, Xie Qinghe sat up and said: "It's all said and done, let's start the meal. Dalang has not returned from the free clinic in Shanyin, so there are only a few people in the family."

Erlang stepped forward to help Xie Qinghe put on his shoes very habitually, Xiao Jin glanced at Fu Chuan's place, and San Niang was helping Fu Chuan to stay on the bed.

So, Xiao Jin went to Mrs. Chen's side and supported Mrs. Chen.

After that day, Xiao Jin's little book Tong Xibao played for three days and three nights, and said to everyone: "Our young master helped Mrs. Chen all the way. Do you know Mrs. Chen? It's the Mrs. Chen who scares children to cry! Old Mrs. Chen who killed you for disobedience! Hey! Our young master is so brave!"

Xiao Jin: "..."

I also have a piece of jade pendant given by Mrs. Chen, telling it out will scare you to death!

■

Time passes day by day.

The queen's first son was born smoothly, and he was registered in the East Palace at the age of 16.

Since then, Xie Qinghe has had no peace.The emperor went out of the palace in low clothes several times to the Fu mansion, stalking his Suzi with shame, asking Suzi to nurse him for a while, and to go into the palace to teach the prince how to paint.Xie Qinghe was so angry that he threw his teacup: "I have not taught you enough, I have to teach your son?!"

The emperor had already grown a beard, but he still looked innocent while sitting in front of Xie Qinghe: "Su Zi, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, teach him well."

Xie Qinghe threw out the booklet he had copied: "Learn according to the textbook."

"That won't work. Su Zi teaches by example, and the lingering fragrance on the cheeks is the essence. I don't want a book, I want to invite the best master in the world for the prince. Su Zi, you can do it well. If you can't invite Su Zi, how can the empress do it?" Let go of being kind to me?" The emperor refused to leave.

Xie Qinghe impatiently wanted to chase him away, the emperor said pitifully: "Actually, I have also obtained the true biography of Su Zi. If I can spare time to teach the prince myself, I think it will not be too far away. But now I am also dealing with a lot of opportunities... If I If you pay more attention to the crown prince, the government will have to pay more attention to the prime minister..."

Xie Qinghe was stunned by his shamelessness, and said after a while: "Believe it or not, Prime Minister Fu will go to the book tomorrow to resign?"

The emperor froze for a moment.

Suddenly realizing that what Xie Qinghe said was true, he quickly changed his words: "No, no, no, I will definitely not push all the government affairs to Prime Minister Fu. I am young, strong and healthy, and I can take care of both the government and the East Palace... Hahahaha The time is not right It's early, I'm going back to the palace first... See you, Su Zi, Su Zi doesn't need to see you off, I hahahahaha..." He ran out of the door in a flash, and fled with the palace guard.

Xie Qinghe seriously considered retirement.

At dusk, Fu Chuan's carriage stopped at the door, and his attendants escorted him to the courtyard.

After so many years, Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan still do not have servants in the small courtyard, only when eating, drinking or sweeping, there are servants coming in and out.Fu Chuan walked in alone, it was still dark today, and he didn't lift up the lamp, so he approached Xie Qinghe for a kiss before entering the door: "Brother."

Xie Qinghe hugged him back and kissed him back. After the two kissed deeply, Fu Chuan went to take off his cloak and change his clothes, chattering about today's affairs.

After Fu Chuan invited him to be the prime minister, the first master took charge of one government affairs and another military affairs. After both sides were cleared up, he began to assist Wanfang.It is not easy to be a good prime minister. The emperor's so-called daily affairs are all given to him by Fu Chuan after chewing them over. The emperor is tired enough, and Fu Chuan will only work harder.

Xie Qinghe originally wanted to talk to him about retirement, but Fu Chuan was full of energy every day, and he would still be filled with righteous indignation when talking about major events.

For Fu Chuan, being able to care for the living and benefit the people in a suitable position is one of his favorite things.

Xie Qinghe listened to Fu Chuan while washing, while talking about this and that in other counties, there was a disaster here, who was called to relieve the disaster, there was a commotion there, who was called to investigate the situation, and strange cases were reported layer by layer, saying that the following would be punished Injustice, where is there any selfishness that breaks the law and needs to be corrected...

It was completely dark.

Xie Qinghe slowly turned on the lights in the house, and seeing the dim light of the candle, he was suddenly moved.

Isn't it his original idea to make lovers get married, make the virtuous live in the temple, make the emperor wise and the people happy?

Fu Chuan wiped his wet long hair, Xie Qinghe put down the lit desk lamp and said, "Today the emperor is here again."

"Are you here to invite senior brother to study in the palace again?" Fu Chuan laughed, "The day before yesterday, when the court was over, the emperor asked Er Qi to stop me and invite me to the harem for tea. The queen really cooked a lot of tea. The dishes on the table are said to be a bribe to me, asking me to persuade the big brother."

Fu Chuan did not come home the day before yesterday.Shanyang was hit by a disaster, so Fu Chuan sat in Shangshu Province all night, and came home only after making arrangements today.

Xie Qinghe combed his hands, and Fu Chuan's drenched long hair became dry. He put his arms around Fu Chuan from behind and said, "No need to persuade. I will go to the academy tomorrow to see our little prince."

Fu Chuan was completely unaware that Xie Qinghe had changed his mind, and said with a smile: "It's not too small. Character is precious and very organized."

Xie Qinghe nodded: "Yes."

Fu Chuan sighed again: "Everything is fine now. Heyang party members are not troublesome, the court officials are clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the riders are unable to go south. It is our practice... So many years have passed, not to mention blooming everywhere, even Not many stand out."

Xie Qinghe comforted: "It's just a trial, success or failure will have results, and the goal will be achieved."

Xie Qinghe observed it in the early years. He wanted to promote the cultivation method with extremely low talent threshold, and he failed if he wanted to start from the bottom.

For the less talented outer disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, the few cultivation methods he created were life-saving straws and a step up to the sky. Seeing the outer disciples break through one by one and their cultivation base advance by leaps and bounds, it gave Xie Qinghe an illusion, as if By lowering the threshold of talent, it can be universally applicable to the public.

As a matter of fact, cultivation is not only a talent that is firmly stuck in the throat of mortals, but also a kind of neglected effort, that is hard work and self-discipline.

Whether it is Xie Qinghe, Fu Chuan, or the outer disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, almost everyone has put in ten times and a hundred times their efforts, always thinking about self-cultivation and perfection.Under such extremely assiduous practice conditions, only by lowering the threshold of talent can there be a possibility of breakthrough in foundation building.

In fact, people with such an extremely difficult and self-disciplined character, even if they are at the bottom, will always have a way out.

For so many years, there have been very few foundation-building cultivators in the field. Occasionally, there are geniuses who have worked hard but fortunately to cultivate famous tricks, and are immediately recruited by the imperial court or the Hanjiang Sword Sect. Fu Chuan personally dealt with seven or eight monks who died of corruption and arrogance.

All in all, spiritual practice is an extremely noble and delicate thing, extremely picky about talent, extremely picky about character, and has to be restrained since childhood.

Indispensable.

Xie Qinghe's promotion plan failed completely.

However, failure in the enchanted world is cheaper than failure in the real world, right?
