The Master of the Kingdom

Wang Cheng has always known the confusion and anger in his eldest son's heart.

Wang Xu has always received family supremacy and noble family education. With the decline of the Han emperor, these courtiers had already forgotten the etiquette of the emperor and his officials, and forgot the respect they should have for the emperor.

Now suddenly letting the Wang family be a good courtier, Wang Xu couldn't turn his mind naturally.

Wang Cheng also thought about talking to Wang Xu, but he changed his mind to think that his grandson is already an adult, and his son is now the actual head of the Wang family. It is not helpful for him to interfere too much. At least now, although Wang Xu is dissatisfied, he has not done anything extra. He hopes his son can figure it out for himself.

Wang Cheng was a little surprised when Wang Xu went to help Su Yi. But he thought that he would go to the heavenly master to solve his doubts, and his son would also go, it was nothing.

The last time I talked with the celestial master, he benefited a lot, and my son will do the same.

Things were as expected by Wang Cheng, but his son could actually drink the tea made by the heavenly master and hear the piano played by the heavenly master, which made him a little envious.

Wang Cheng murmured in his heart, if Master Su was older, he would fall behind, and openly seek Su Yi to drink tea and listen to him.

Tea, his rebellious son and ineffective grandson have also drunk; but it seems that only Mu Yan has heard of the piano.

When Wang Chenghaole was young, he used to stand outside the hermit's gate for two days to listen to a piano.

As he got older, the burden of the Wang family was also on his body, and Wang Cheng couldn't just rely on his own wishes.

Now that the burden is relieved, there is no fight for power or profit, only teaching the prince to teach his children and grandchildren, and even the children and grandchildren do not need him to teach more. Wang Cheng's early temperament has gradually recovered, and his repressed feelings and desires have gradually emerged. .

In short, there is a tendency to "evolve" from the old fox to the old urchin.

Only when he waited, he completely "released" himself.

For the time being, Wang Cheng suppressed the matter in his heart, and Wang Xu mentioned to him the poem "In the old days, when Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people".

"There is no family that is undefeated forever." Wang Cheng was not sad after hearing this, he said, "Even if it exists forever, that family may not be the original family anymore."

Wang Xu was also very open to this. He just wanted to ask his father who the "Xie family" might be. He didn't want to win over or something, he was just curious.

Wang Chengdao: "I’m not sure about this. Although the aristocratic family lasts for a century or even a thousand years, in fact everyone knows that it is only those one or two generations, or even one generation, that can do it, and then the aristocratic family arises. Its ancestors and so on, even Zong is not simple? Since the history is different, the emperor is different, maybe what happened to the generation that Xie family should have stood out."

Wang Xu said, "Father is very true. We only need to focus on the present."

The father and son discussed some other topics, and then after Wang Chengwan was gone, Wang Xu retreated.

At this time, his heart was clear, and there was no more haze.

Wang Xu thought, starting tomorrow, like Mu Heqing, go to work on time and ask for leave if you have something to do. Oh, I feel like I am getting old too, and I am not used to the life of commuting to and from get off work on time.

"When my son is more uplifting, I should change to a leisurely position." Not long after being promoted, Wang Xu, who suddenly had the intention to retire, sighed. The reason he sighed was simply because he couldn't be late and leave early as he wanted. Therefore, there seems to be a little unreliable hidden in the blood of the Wang family.

When Wang Cheng and Wang Xu were chatting, they didn't notice someone passing by the door.

It didn’t matter if I noticed, because the man wanted to report something to Wang Cheng. He walked to the door and listened to the doorkeeper saying that the two were discussing major issues. He told the servant what he wanted to report and left. .

It wasn't a big deal at all, but some trivial daily routines, but it happened that Wang Cheng just nodded.

So after Wang Cheng listened to it, he didn't care.

He didn't know that the man's ears were very strong, and even through the doors and windows, he still heard only a few words of their discussions. Although he left after only a while, the news he heard was enough to shake his heart for a long time.

This person is Xie Chun, the eldest brother of Xie Liang that Su Yi met when he was on the hunting ground, the official of the Wang family.

Xie Chun heard the words, just when Wang Xu described the "parallel world" of Su Yi's "parallel world" and the poem "Old Wang Xie".

Xie Chun and Wang Futao have a good relationship, and also have friendship with Wang Boyuan. Naturally, he has heard many things about Master Su, and the "parallel world" has also been heard.

It may be difficult to understand what was said in scientific theories, but the ancients were not ignorant of specific matters. There are also stories about "parallel worlds" in ancient folk legend novels, but they are mostly supplemented by seeing the future or going back to the past.

When Xie Chun heard that the Central Plains might be overwhelmed at this time, his heart was very depressed. Although it is not the world in which you exist, it is all Huaxia, how can it not be uncomfortable?

After he quickly reported his own affairs, he was about to leave when he heard the verse of "Old Wang Xietang Qianyan", almost lost his color, and finally kept his expression, pretending to leave calmly.

After returning, Xie Chun could not sleep.

Which one is the "Xie" in the "Wang Xie" of that different world? Is it possible... is it their home? Or is it possible for their family to become a "thank you" on par with the "king"?

Xie Chun had insomnia all night, and looked at his tired face in the mirror the next day. He suddenly felt very sad.

What's the matter with him in the other world? What to do with their family?

"Rather than indulge in fantasy..." Xie Chun was silent for a while, and then smiled lightly, "What else to say, haven't I already decided. I'm taking a break today, just taking advantage of going home and making a decision."

Xie Chun's remarks have some decisive meanings of "the hero is gone forever." I don't know what he said was going home, and I thought he was going to do something dangerous.

When Xie Chun returned home, I heard that both his father and younger brother were in the house.

Xie Liang has resigned from the official position of Sima's family.

Originally, Xie Liang actually wanted to follow Sima Hu. Although Simahu is a second-hand house, he is the leader of the Sima family in terms of personality and knowledge. And with the big tree of the Sima family, Sima Hu's future will not be bad. But while Xie Liang was still on the sidelines, the second house was collapsed by the big house, and the second house of the dignified Sima family was actually driven to live in a thatched cottage on the outskirts of the city.

The aristocratic family advocated metaphysics, but the Xie family inherited Confucianism. It was difficult for Xie Huan to integrate into the family, so he asked his eldest son Xie Chun to abandon Confucianism. After Xie Chunjing and Wang Futao took several times to meet up for talks, he became famous. However, Xie Liang is a child of the traditional Xie family. He is not very sensitive to metaphysics and is more like his father, so he is not valued in the Sima family.

Those who follow the aristocratic family are used to favoring high and low, Xie Liang's temperament is gentle, and he has been bullied many times, just like that on the hunting ground.

But if he was following Big Brother Sima Xiao, he wouldn't encounter this. Sima Xiao's behavior is still far worse than his elder brother.

Because of this, he consciously had no future in following the Sima family. When Xie Liang bluntly stated to the family that he would resign as an official of the Sima family and prepare for the imperial examination with ease, Xie Huan agreed.

However, Xie Huan said that Xie Liang's knowledge was not enough to compete with the scholars in the world, so he gave up the imperial examination, studied at home with peace of mind, and waited three years before competing in the examination room.

Xie Huan's two sons, the eldest son Xie Chun, abandoned Confucianism, and was highly appreciated by the royal family. His appearance and conversation have made him famous among the younger generations of the family.

For a family, this is double insurance.

Xie Chun took a deep breath, suppressed his anxiety, and walked to his father's study.

Xie Huan was reading in the room at the moment, not Lao Zhuang, but "The Analects".

Xie Huan has already memorized "The Analects" by heart, but every time he reads "The Analects", he has different feelings. The words of a saint are like an inexhaustible treasure house, and one's life may not be exhausted.

Xie Huan has always been incompatible with the aristocratic circle of the family. He has never shown his chest like most "persons". Xie Huan's clothes are always so neat, and his hair crown is always so upright. He strictly follows the Confucian etiquette to restrain himself, and is jokingly called "rotten wood".

He does not talk to people, asks God, does not worship Buddha, or sees alchemists. He speaks and practices in keeping one's body right, because he starts with himself.

Xie Chun is "rebellious". Others once seemed to be watching a good show, wanting to see the father and son become enemies. But Xie Huan acquiesced. Those people laughed again, and Xie Huan couldn't help himself, so he asked his son to correct it.

No matter what Xie Huan heard, he remained motionless and still lived his unchanging life.

"You are back." Xie Huan put down the book in his hand and said: "You are like this, do you have something to talk to your father?"

Xie Chun lifted his robe and knelt on the ground. At this time, he didn't have the appearance of the young man who was often seen in the family outside, and his expression was very serious, just like Xie Huan.

"The son is not filial." Xie Chun kowtow.

Xie Huan did not answer, but motioned to Xie Chun to continue.

After kowtow, Xie Chun said, "My son has already participated in the rural examination."

Xie Huan didn't seem surprised. He asked, "What's the ranking?"

Xie Chun said: "Eleventh."

Xie Huan said, "Do you want the imperial examination?"

Xie Chun kowtow again and said: "Yes."

Xie Huan said: "You don't want to be a celebrity?"

Xie Chun was silent for a while, then said for a while: "Yes."

Xie Huan picked up the "Analects of Confucius" and said casually while reading: "Then go. Based on your knowledge, you should be unfamiliar before you arrive at Jingkui. Now that you have decided, let's concentrate on preparing for the exam."

Xie Chun said: "My son wants to resign as an official of the Wang family..."

Xie Huan's gaze fell on the book, without looking up, "You can decide for yourself."

Xie Chun breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed away.

After Xie Chun left, Xie Huan sighed deeply. He put down the book and said, "Are you a great Confucian for many generations? Heavenly Master, Heavenly Master..."

Xie Huan rubbed his eyebrows and continued to read, but couldn't get in.

He also thought of the second son Qiu Hunting coming back, talking about the humiliation he suffered, the friendliness of the celestial master to him, and the evaluation of the Xie family.

Heirlooms of Confucianism, scholarly family, great Confucian for many generations...

Forget it, just walk all the way to the dark...Xie Huan smiled bitterly.
