Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 282
After Yu Tiao had left for a long time, Yu Liang was still sitting stiffly in the banquet with a cold and gloomy expression, and he remained silent for a long time, not only angry but also sad.There are so many criticisms about him in the capital nowadays, how could Yu Liang have not heard of them, but he can ignore the malicious slander of these villains.

However, today, it was his brother who denounced him in front of his face as a man who had lost everyone and his only husband. Every word was like a knife, piercing his heart, which made Yu Liang feel a kind of grief and indignation that he couldn't explain himself.Ask yourself, since he took power, every word, deed, and every move has put state affairs first, and he never has too many family plans in mind.He worked hard and gradually returned the power to the center, not for the sake of making himself more important, but for the Northern Expedition!
At that time, people said that he cut off dissidents and was devoted to power, but Yu Liang could still sneer at this.Generally speaking, if you want to do something, how can you blindly compromise and insist on harmony.He was briefed by the late emperor and entrusted with the national post, and he has always been displeased with Wang Taibao's practice of being in a prominent position but using his power to benevolent to the public to support his own reputation. This is not the attitude that rulers should have!

Jiangdong is in a corner, how can Wang Zuo live here for a long time.At that time, Emperor Yuan often hurt himself by living in other countries. The age of the first emperor was true, and the two generations of ancestors were all grass-roots. Now the power belongs to him.

Although Yu Tiao's words touched Yu Liang a lot, he is a person with a firm mind and a big ambition at the same time, so he has a clear conscience.After the anger gradually passed, his demeanor gradually returned to calm, and he signaled the servants to remove the messy cups and tables, and then said to Wen Qiao, "I'm so ridiculous."

Seeing that Yu Liang had regained his composure, Wen Qiao also breathed a sigh of relief.He had witnessed the estrangement between his brothers before, and he felt extremely embarrassed, so he didn't leave or stay.In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Wen Qiao agrees with Yu Tiao's words.Although he and Yu Liang are close friends, they don't agree with some of Yu Liang's actions from the bottom of their hearts.

His resume can be described as rich, he has traveled north and south, and has seen a lot.The chaotic situation in the world today is unprecedented chaos in ancient and modern times.The ministers of China and North Korea are not without talents, and they are still helpless in the face of such a situation.Today's Jiangdong is more cramped and embarrassing than China and North Korea, and the facts should not be overstated.

When he came across the river in his early years, he had an interview with Wang Dao first, and found that this gentleman was neither overly compassionate and depressed, nor overly agitated and ashamed. He had a clear understanding of the current situation, so he admired Wang Dao very much in his heart.Later, as the Wang family grew stronger, not only Wang Dun was the first to be in chaos, but Wang Dao also seemed to gradually lose his initial clear judgment in the chaotic situation, and Wen Qiao gradually drifted away from him.

In Wen Qiao's view, some of Zhongshu's actions lacked bravery.However, Wen Qiao himself does not have a clear strategy for what kind of attitude should be adopted in the current world, so he simply focuses on the present and avoids far-sightedness.

Yu Liang didn't know what was going on in Wen Qiao's mind. After he regained his composure, he pondered for a while before saying, "Today is a practice for Taizhen, so it's really inappropriate to talk too much about official affairs. But for Jingzhou, I really can't do it in my heart." Don't worry. In any case, I hope Taizhen can guard the upper reaches and not disturb the western land."

"I try my best."

Wen Qiao nodded slightly. The reason why Zhongshu said this was because Yu Tiao had told him before returning home that Taichung had decided to call Liyang back to the court.Previously, Wen Qiao had persuaded him a lot, and expressed his hope that he could lead troops to defend the capital to prevent any changes, but was rejected by Zhongshu.Witnessing his brother's estrangement earlier, it's even worse for Wen Qiao to make other comments in the current situation.

Right now, we can only trust Zhongshu's judgment. Liyang's long-term residence in Xifan is a problem, and sooner or later there will be chaos.

Because of the previous incident, Yu Liang also had little interest in talking, so he hurriedly ended the banquet and was about to return to Taichung immediately.Now he is so busy with many affairs in Taichung, if it is not for Wen Qiao, his best friend, he would have no time to take care of other idlers.As for Yu Tiao's matter, Yu Liang has no time to deal with it right now, and can only wait for the Liyang matter to be resolved before going back to deal with it.

Jingkou is bound to regroup, and no one can stop his pace.If Yu Tiao is still obsessed with obsession, Yu Liang also has an idea in his mind, and directly confines him at home and does not allow him to go out.

Wen Qiao and Yu Liang went together to send him into Taicheng, but he didn't go in, but went back to his apartment in the city instead.Tomorrow he will be ordered to leave the capital and return to the town, so he will take advantage of this to visit his old friends in the capital.

As soon as he returned to the apartment, the disciple sent dozens of invitations.The atmosphere in the capital is like this nowadays, Wen Qiao is in charge of Jiangzhou Fangzhen, and he has a close relationship with Zhongshu, so his behavior naturally attracts attention.

Sitting idle in the table and flipping through these invitations, Wen Qiao couldn't help frowning slightly.Now in Duzhong, almost everyone who has friendship with him or is qualified to discuss friendship has sent invitations, which shows that people's hearts are not stable.

Although there are many invitations, the time is limited. Wen Qiao can only choose some invitations that he thinks are more important to respond to.Among them were Shangshu Ling Bian, Taibao Wang Dao, etc. Wen Qiao also knew that most of these people still wanted him to come forward to persuade Zhongshu, but he was helpless.These people lived in the capital for a long time and could not affect Zhongshu's decision. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry, so how could he be persuaded.

After pondering for a while, Wen Qiao took up a pen and wrote back one by one.Wen Qiao was actually somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Taibao.The Wang family has all the reputation and qualifications, and the Taibao also has extraordinary vision. He was ordered to assist the government, so he should check and coordinate with Zhongshu.However, each other is confined to the family, and rarely communicates with each other. The Taibao even retreated silently, ignoring his responsibilities of assisting the government.

When all the invitations were processed, the student sent another exquisite and unusual invitation.Although Wen Qiao has not been in the capital for a long time, he is no stranger to the new things in the capital, and he can tell where the invitation came from just by looking at it.He couldn't help being a little curious, the Shen family had no shortage of news channels of his own, and he had very little friendship with his family, so what did you invite yourself to do at this time of year?
Opening the invitation and looking at it, Wen Qiao's face suddenly changed. He pushed away many invitations on the case, and while changing his shirt, he told the servants in a loud voice: "Get the car ready and go to Princess Danyang's mansion!"

The ox cart was galloping all the way. When Wen Qiao saw Wang Taibao's eldest son, Wang Changyu, standing under the courtyard gate when he was passing in front of the gate of Wang's house in Wuyi Lane, his heart moved and he ordered the driver to stop.

Wang Yue had already recognized Wen Qiao's car, and hurried forward to pay respects: "I am ordered by my father to wait here for Duke Wen for a long time."

Wen Qiao and the car smiled apologetically, and said: "Today, I really don't have the skills to spare, and I have to live up to the invitation of the Taibao. When I return to the capital in the future, I will go to court and plead guilty."

After finishing speaking, he asked his servant to hand over his letter to Wang Yue, and then the ox cart left in a hurry.

Wang Yue stood in front of the courtyard gate holding the letter, with a slightly astonished expression, watching Wen Qiao's car drive to Princess Danyang's mansion not far away, and then there was a bit of shame and helplessness on his face.He stopped in front of the court gate for a while before he suddenly sighed and returned home lazily.

Shen Zhezi had also been waiting for Wen Qiao behind the courtyard gate, and earlier even walked to the gate of Wang's house to exchange greetings with Wang Changyu, seeing Wen Qiao's car stopping in front of Wang's house for a while, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.It is inconvenient for families to live together in one place, and there is no room to hide many things.

He knew why Wen Qiao rejected the Wang family's invitation and came to his home. It had nothing to do with family status, but he would not explain the inside story to Wang Changyu in detail, just to let the old boy gradually feel a sense of frustration in front of him.There is no old grudge between him and Wang Changyu, this person's temperament is exactly the same as Wang Taibao's, he has almost no temper.

However, Wang Tian and Wang Jingyu, the second son of the Wang family, often mocked Shen Zhezi in public. Although Shen Zhezi did not meet him face to face, Shen Zhezi was quite ashamed and annoyed by the behavior of speaking ill of people behind his back. He planned to take some time to teach that boy a lesson. .

As soon as the car stopped, before Shen Zhezi could speak, Wen Qiao jumped out of the car and grabbed Shen Zhezi's wrist and said, "What Haiyan said is true? Cui Kongrui is really in your house?"

Seeing Wen Qiao's excited expression, Shen Zhezi didn't say anything else, and made a polite gesture: "Mr. Cui has been honored and raised in my family for a long time, and he recently visited the capital, just as Duke Wen returned to the capital..."

Wen Qiao couldn't wait for Shen Zhezi to continue talking, and had already started striding into the mansion.Seeing this, Shen Zhezi had no choice but to trot to catch up. It was not an honor for Wen Qiao to come to his house, and he didn't take himself as the master at all.

Cui Hui has been in the capital for many days and has been raised in the princess' mansion. He has no intention of looking for old people.In his own words, he was ashamed to see his old friend after the robbery.However, he did not object to Shen Zhezi's eager help to Zhang Luo. On the one hand, he could not repay the great kindness of the Shen family, and on the other hand, he was also happy to see this thoughtful young man succeed.

At this time, Cui Hui was sitting on the soft couch in the Nuan Pavilion, and the lady standing beside him was none other than Miss Su who was assigned to the tofu workshop by Shen Zhezi several years ago.Earlier, the princess dismissed all the Qianxi prostitutes from their marriages, and this lady Su was the only one left. After the tofu workshop matured, she would not be needed. After Shen Zhezi asked for her advice and agreed, she promised Cui Hui to take care of her daily life.

This Mrs. Su has learned a lot of elegant skills, she was wronged earlier, she cherished this rare opportunity even more, she took good care of Cui Hui, her complexion became plump day by day, and her sickness gradually faded.

Wen Qiao strode into the pavilion, his eyes fell on Cui Hui, but his expression was somewhat hesitant, and when Cui Hui saw Wen Qiao, his body trembled slightly, and then a rather complicated smile appeared on his face : "Taizhen walks fast, like Kuafu chasing the sun, walking like flying, still hasn't changed!"

Hearing this, Wen Qiao finally confirmed that the middle-aged man in front of him whose image had changed greatly from his memory was indeed Cui Hui. He tremblingly stepped forward, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the memory in his mind suddenly became vivid. It seems to have returned to the glorious years in the Northland more than ten years ago. A group of lonely and brave people created a situation among the ruins. Uncle Liu Kun held his hand and urged him earnestly: I want to make contributions to Heshuo and make Qing Yan famous in the south of the Yangtze River.

Now he has long been famous in Jiangdong, but the meritorious person is no longer alive.

　Sometimes I feel that people in the Tang Dynasty are very sinister, and although it is appropriate to comment on Yu Liang's wit and tricks, there is no lack of harshness among literati. . .
