Lin Ge Lao and Xie Xun were playing chess. Lin Ge Lao had three sons and two daughters. The eldest son and daughter were direct children, and the other children were concubines. Lin Ge Lao treated everyone equally and was well educated. All three sons were Jinshi in high school and entered the Imperial Academy. Brothers and friends
My younger brother Gong supports each other, and his eldest grandson Lin Heli is the reincarnation of the famous Wenquxing, and he is in the third yuan.
The eldest daughter married Xie Yuan, the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the concubine married to the Earl of Yongning. They had a happy marriage.
Both Mr. Lin Ge and his wife doted on their legitimate daughter, especially Xie Xun. Since Xie Xun returned to Beijing to recuperate from his injuries, he often asked him to stay for a while.
"Grandpa, we played a bit too impatiently today." Xie Xun held the black piece in his hand and landed it on the chessboard. It was already a siege. He looked at Mr. Lin Ge with a smile on his face, "I won."
"You kid plays chess with one pole in the east and one in the west. It looks like you have no rules, but in fact you have a plan. My grandfather was deceived by you." Mr. Lin Ge looked at his grandson lovingly and kindly, and then looked at the chessboard. He lost.
, no regrets in making a move, there is no remedy for this round.
Xie Xun chuckled and said, "Grandpa showed mercy."
Lin Gelao stood up and Xie Xun went to help him. He was nearly seventy years old and his movements were a little slow. No matter how shrewd and wise the old man was, he could not withstand the ruthlessness of time. Xie Xun accompanied him to sit in the rocking chair on the porch and burn charcoal on the stove.
Boiling water, there was a complete set of tea sets on the tea table. Xie Xun ironed the tea sets and made tea slowly. Lin Gelao looked at Xie Xun with loving eyes. His two most beloved grandchildren, Lin Heli and Xie Xun, were one by one.
Wu, it's all the flesh of his palm.
"In the past two years, the situation has gradually stabilized, but there has been another natural disaster. The military rations case was not supervised well by the Ministry of War, but it was very difficult to investigate, so it is still pending. I know that my grandfather also knows that you have worked hard for Ningzhou and want to be a soldier.
We want justice. But the situation in the DPRK is different from the situation in the war. The relationship between DPRK and China is intricate and affects the whole body. With Minister Lin gone, who can guarantee that the new Minister can do better?"
Although the Marquis of Zhenbei was far away in Ningzhou, he was still able to control the court situation single-handedly. First, he had Lin Ge Lao Cong to mediate from Zhou, and secondly, he had a group of loyal generals who would rather die to remonstrate. Lin Shangshu was withdrawn, and it was Anyuanhou who came to Xie Xun
Under the instructions, he used an excuse to launch an attack, and hit the target with one blow. Lin Shangshu's lineage was loyal to the imperial power, and the emperor was forced to break his wings.
"Grandpa, my grandson thinks that if you can't do well in your position, then change someone else." Xie Xun poured him a cup of tea, "If you can't do it again, then change someone else. There are so many people."
."
"You are just talking like a child." Lin Ge Lao Fengcha said with a chuckle, "The nepotism relationship in the Haoying family is complex. They form their own faction and protect each other. Lin Shangshu's mistake in the military ration case... it would be the same if it were anyone else. He
If the superiors cannot disobey the emperor's orders and the subordinates cannot raise military rations, what can he do?"
"Nine times out of ten the world's granaries are empty, because the Haoying family vacated the granaries. The common people suffered in natural disasters, but the powerful were sensual. The soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy in Ningzhou, and the powerful were living in the capital. Foreign enemies were watching, and they
Drunk life and dream death. Grandfather, Ningzhou is broken. Only the 20,000 forbidden troops in the imperial city and the 50,000 field troops cannot defend the capital."
Eighty percent of Yang's land, private granaries, are full of hamsters. Even so, he is unwilling to support Ningzhou. Grandfather, you have been loyal to the imperial power and safeguarded the interests of the family all your life. Have you seen Ningzhou's corpses littering the fields and rivers of blood?
?”
"In the third year of Chengqi's reign, I was transferred to the post of chief envoy to the south of the Yangtze River. It was the rainy season, the Yellow River burst its banks, and the plague was rampant. That year, all the towns in the south of the Yangtze River were empty, with corpses everywhere, and it was not uncommon for parents to eat their children. You know, it's not just the only one who cannibalize their children.
Rivers of blood flowed on the battlefield. My grandfather was loyal to the imperial power, because once there was a change, corpses would float thousands of miles away, and it was always the common people who suffered. My grandfather spent his whole life balancing the situation between aristocratic families and Qingliu. Every year in the court, a student from a poor Qingliu family would stand out and get a hairpin.
The serious illness of the Ying family is difficult to cure. It cannot be cured overnight, nor can it be cured by one person." Lin Ge said earnestly, "The Zhenbei Hou Mansion has great achievements in shaking the master, but is unwilling to delegate power. The emperor is afraid, and the family is excluded. The government pays attention to balance. Once the balance is imbalanced, it will
Cause trouble."
The autumn wind passed by in the courtyard, and the fragrance of osmanthus fell on the ground.
A sweet-scented osmanthus was blown by the wind and fell into the tea cup. Xie Xun said calmly, "My father won't let go because once he lets go, the family will fight for power regardless of the war in Ningzhou, and hundreds of thousands of troops on the border will be locked in a bitter battle.
My sister broke off her marriage and entered the palace, and has nothing to do with it. My mother and aunts are in Beijing as hostages. My father and brothers are all on the battlefield killing the enemy. There are more than a dozen people in my family in the Beihou Mansion in Zhenbei. Who is willing to live such a life?
People say that the Duke of Zhenbei has great achievements and ambitions, the royal family is afraid of him, and the aristocratic family is ostracizing him. Do we need all four of me, father and son, to die in battle to prove our loyalty?"
Lin Gelao sighed. He also understood the difficulties of Zhenbei Hou Mansion. He was unable to change the situation. This was a dilemma and a critical situation. "I hope the Northern Barbarians surrender and the Marquis disarms and returns home, so that the situation can be improved."
Xie Xun smiled and looked at the osmanthus flowers falling all over the ground, "Grandpa, how many people have fought in ancient times. Can my father really enjoy his old age in peace when he returns home?"
Mr. Lin Ge was stunned by the question. The situation was changing rapidly, the emperor's intentions were unpredictable, and how many of the world-famous generals had a happy ending? He looked at his grandson who was drinking tea calmly.
Xie Xun looked very much like Mrs. Hou, but his temper was like Xie Yuan's, unruly and unruly. He could see the shadow of his daughter when he was young in Xie Xun, and he could also see Xie Yuan's grace when he came to propose marriage. Time flies so fast
, decades passed in the blink of an eye, and he also stepped into the coffin with one foot.
When I betrothed my beloved eldest daughter to Xie Yuan, I never imagined that I would face the current predicament.
One son and one daughter gradually become antagonistic as the situation changes.
He worked hard to maintain the situation during his lifetime and did not want his children and grandchildren to fight against each other. But time is not forgiving, how long can he maintain it?
Every time Mr. Lin Ge thought of this, he felt sad.
"Grandpa, I have a question that has troubled me for many years." Xie Xun put down the tea cup. His hands were also very good. They were a pair of hands that were very suitable for writing and painting. The joints were clear and slender, and he had the handsomeness and strength of a young man. "The heroes compete for the throne."
, The winner is the king. If the world is in good order and the people support it, everyone will be happy. If the world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits, what will happen?"
"The king is concerned about the work of his ministers, so he serves the king with the way." Lin Ge, a veteran of the three dynasties, devoted himself to the prosperity of the Yuwen family. "If the king and his ministers each abide by their own way, the world can be governed. If the way of the king is stupid, don't let it go, and you will not be afraid of remonstrance to the death."
Xie Xun chuckled and said, "I know Xu but I think that if there are different positions in the world, those who are capable will occupy them, and those who are incompetent will avoid them, so the world will naturally have long-term peace and stability."
"I know, don't mention such treacherous and unethical words again." Lin Ge shouted, Xie Xun lowered his eyes and made a respectful gesture, "Grandpa, please calm down and just treat me as childish, ignorant and arrogant."
