Hope is like fire, disappointment is like smoke, life is often spent hastily in the process of lighting a fire and smoking at the same time.
Shangguan Kaijun ignited the fire of hope for himself. He originally hoped that Ye Shaofeng would add fuel to the fire and make it burn even brighter. But unfortunately, Ye Shaofeng's attitude now seems to be to add fuel to the fire. Let's smoke.
Shangguan Kaijun was a little disappointed, but it didn't show on his face. He still wanted to work hard for his own hope.
Lu Xun once said that hope does not matter whether it exists or not. This is just like the road on the earth. In fact, there is no road on the earth, but when there are more people walking, it becomes a road.
Even if Ye Shaofeng wants to add smoke to his fire, Shangguan Kaijun still firmly believes that as long as he keeps persuading, he will be able to rekindle the fire in Ye Shaofeng.
"Shaofeng, you are young and promising, and my daughter is also talented and beautiful. You two are definitely a perfect couple. There is no one who is more suitable than you. You don't need to delay anymore. I want it now." Just tell me if you are sincere to our Yunmeng family," Shangguan Kaijun used his trump card.
This kind of questioning usually does not end with just one question. After Ye Shaofeng returns, Shangguan Kaijun will immediately have something to say waiting for him. There will even be two or three sentences waiting for him. , leaving him no room to reply, it was like using a combination of punches to suffocate Ye Shaofeng.
Ye Shaofeng was still a little immature in front of Shangguan Kaijun, without thinking, and still followed his own routine and said: "Of course my feelings for Yunmeng are true, but..."
Sure enough, Shangguan Kaijun immediately interrupted Ye Shaofeng's words. The first half of the sentence was enough. He could not give Ye Shaofeng a chance to explain his reasons in the second half of the sentence. Shangguan Kaijun cut through the mess quickly and said: "Okay, what I want is what you said. If you say this, there will be no other words behind it. But, I know that it is difficult and difficult for you to be together. But don’t worry, I will help you solve this matter. If you can’t fight, I will apologize. With my old face, I can go to your Ye family to personally propose marriage for my daughter. That’s okay. Comrade Ye Jianwei of your Ye family, there’s no way he won’t give me face. I’m willing to do anything for my daughter.”
On the surface, Shangguan Kaijun was doing it for his daughter's happiness, but in fact, it was all for himself. Although the Shangguan family and the Ye family have been feuding for a long time, I have said before that in politics, there are no permanent friends, and there are no permanent friends. Eternal enemies, as long as they can reach an agreement on governance, no matter how many conflicts they have formed before, they can immediately turn their hostility into good friends and become perfect allies. If they have differences in political opinions, no matter how close they are, they are considered biological children. Father and son will also part ways and become enemies from now on.
This is officialdom, this is politics. There is no division between friends and enemies, there is only a balance of power. Everyone is pursuing this balance. As long as the balance is balanced, everything will be fine.
Ye Shaofeng wanted to say something else, but Shangguan Kaijun immediately said: "I am very pressed for time. I specially took this time today to talk to you about this matter. Now that this matter has been decided, you don't have to worry anymore. I will leave everything to you." I, okay, I'm going to work first. If you want to sit at home, just sit there. Anyway, it won't be long before this is half of your home. After saying that, Shangguan Kaijun left the study without any explanation.
Ye Shaofeng sat quietly in the study, his head in confusion, thinking about how his marriage to Shangguan Yunmeng was decided by Shangguan Kaijun. It would be okay if the Ye family disagreed, but once Ye Shaofeng If the family agrees, what should I do? Marrying Shangguan Yunmeng will hurt Chang Miaoke. Now that Chang Miaoke has her own child in her belly, she must not be harmed psychologically. If she doesn't get married, , which hurt Shangguan Yunmeng again, and then provoked a greater dispute between the Shangguan family and the Ye family. Ye Shaofeng fell into a dilemma, and his life once again reached a fork in the road.
When he came out of the Shangguan family compound, Ye Shaofeng did not send someone from his family to see him off. Instead, he walked to a main road outside, stopped a taxi, and asked him where he was going.
Ye Shaofeng was suddenly confused. The Ye family was his home, and the Shangguan family seemed to be his home. However, these two places not only did not give him any sense of home, they even made him a little disgusted and afraid.
In such a big city of Beijing, is there no place for him to live? After thinking about it, Ye Shaofeng simply went to find Wang Zheng.
Along the way, Ye Shaofeng was wondering why Shangguan Kaijun did what he did. After much thought, he finally figured it out.
Shangguan Kaijun's wife passed away. In fact, Shangguan Kaijun was also sad, but he absolutely couldn't show it. What he had to show had no impact on him at all, and he couldn't let others catch his weakness.
Once his wife dies, if Shangguan Yunmeng runs away from home, then Shangguan Kaijun will be alone in the family, and his status in the family will begin to waver. Don't forget that his eldest brother Shangguan Kaiyue has been supporting him for so many years. In fact, , No one wants to be a subject all his life, and everyone has the idea of being an overlord. Shangguan Kaiyue deliberately did not fight for his position, but he has been training his son Shangguan Yunqing. Now, Shangguan Yunqing has gradually grown up and entered the central government It’s just a matter of time. Once the time is right, if Shangguan Yunqing enters the central government and takes an important national position, then his status as Shangguan Kaijun will be in jeopardy. Shangguan Kaiyue’s lineage is full of descendants and has huge power. As long as Shangguan Yunqing Taking the position means overthrowing Shangguan Kaijun's position in the family.
Ye Shaofeng finally understood why Shangguan Yunqing asked Ye Shaofeng to kidnap Shangguan Yunmeng. In fact, on the surface, this was to help Ye Shaofeng and Shangguan Yunmeng, but in fact it was weakening Shangguan Kaijun's family power. It was to pass This matter put pressure on Shangguan Kaijun.
Everyone has ambitions, and everyone in the family has ulterior motives, and it is easy to dodge open guns and hidden arrows. It is only a matter of time for Shangguan Kaiyue and Shangguan Yunqing to launch a fierce attack on Shangguan Kai's army. Once the opponent attacks fiercely, , then Shangguan Kaijun's position in the family has been completely lost. Therefore, if the tone is squeezed out by others within the family, it is better to join forces with strong outsiders as soon as possible to strengthen its external strength. Once the Shangguan family and the Ye family reach an agreement If he marries and forms an alliance, who in the family can put pressure on him?
If there is an alliance with the Ye family, then Shangguan Kaijun's status in the family will not be weakened, but will become stronger. Even if he has to abdicate in the future, he can naturally give his position to himself. His daughter, or his cronies, will not fall into the hands of other bloodlines...
