Su Wei held Yang Ning's hand and walked slowly along the corridor of Ziwei Pavilion. The child's little hand, which had not yet grown up, gave him a sense of warmth and reminded him of his grandson. He had not held it like this for many years.
Holding the child's hand.
However, Su Wei was thinking more about the future of the Sui Dynasty at this time. Just an hour of communication gave him a hope. As the saying goes, you can see the big picture from childhood, and a person's character when he grows up will be reflected in him.
You can see it even as a child.
Yang Ning is completely different from his father Yang Yuanqing. He is not as strong, arbitrary, and ruthless as his father, but Yang Ning is gentle, more tolerant, more humble and polite. Such a child will be a benevolent king when he grows up.
Almost every civil servant longs for his monarch to be a benevolent monarch who can be lenient to his ministers and treat his subjects well so that his ministers will not be punished for their words and will not be humiliated by the imperial staff.
The same goes for Su Wei. Although he is old, he hopes that his descendants can also benefit from Yang Ning, and that the Su family can become a famous family like the Pei family.
Yang Ning was undoubtedly his hope. He had been teaching him carefully for almost an entire hour. He wished he could serve as a young teacher and spend the rest of his life teaching Yang Ning.
But he also understood that Yang Yuanqing could not agree. Su Wei once resented the Pei family for having such powerful power resources as the future queen and prince, but now he no longer resented it. He had seen that Yang Yuanqing would not tolerate the Pei family.
A single family.
The attack on the peripheral forces of the Fan Yang Lu family and the Boling Cui family is actually a sign that Yang Yuanqing will gradually weaken the influence of the family. Indeed, the first consideration of a famous family is not the interests of the court, but the interests of the family. This may be true in the early days of a dynasty.
I don't see any problems, but in the middle and late stages, these famous families will become the biggest threat to the imperial court.
The influence of the Shandong gentry will inevitably gradually decrease, which makes Su Wei very happy. The Su family is also considered a large Guanlong family and has produced many talents. Su Dingfang, for example, is actually a distant descendant of Su Wei, but he is only a little less civil servant.
A little weaker.
If the Su family can get the favor of the crown prince, then all his hard work will not be in vain. Full text...
"Your Majesty, when reading a memorial, you must first pay attention to the format, organization, and calligraphy. Although these are only external things, they can reveal the character of the person who wrote the memorial.
A memorial with a neat format, clear organization and beautiful calligraphy shows that the person writing the memorial is a very orderly person. It shows that his thinking is very clear and that he cares about his reputation.
Such a person will not have any major problems with his character, so it is said that you will see his character by his writing, and you will see his behavior by his words. This is the truth.
On the contrary, a memorial with confusing ideas and cluttered calligraphy means that the person writing it first shows that he is impetuous and cannot deal with things calmly."
Su Wei spoke very slowly and eloquently, and Yang Ning listened attentively. He did not interrupt a word from beginning to end, which made Su Wei feel very pleased. A good listener can also be a good listener.
's king.
At this time, they walked to the door of Yang Yuanqing's official residence. Su Wei felt a little disappointed. He would have to wait seven days next time. He rolled his eyes, maybe he could get Cui Hongyuan's quota.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of the old minister's explanation today?" Su Wei asked with a slight smile.
Yang Ning liked Su Wei's low profile very much. He was not as harsh as his master at all, kind and kind. His explanations were very interesting and made him understand a lot. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you Su Xiangguo for your careful guidance. I am a teacher in one day."
The kindness of this lifetime will be engraved in my heart."
"Haha! This is what it should be. I won't go in. You go see your father!"
Su Wei let go of his hand, nodded slightly, turned around and left. Yang Ning watched him go away, then knocked on the door and said, "Father, it's me, can you come in?"
"Come in!" Father's soft voice came from the room.
Yang Ning pushed the door open and entered the room. This was the first time he had entered his father's official room. He was a little timid, but also a little curious. Curiosity is a child's nature. After all, Yang Ning was only eight years old.
He secretly took a look at the room. Like the inner study room at home, it was also very simple with almost no furniture, but it was much larger than the inner study room at home.
Yang Yuanqing was reviewing the memorial. He was also very concerned about his son's gains. When he saw his son coming in, he put down his pen and said with a smile: "What did you learn from Su Xiangguo today? Did you gain anything?"
Yang Ning bowed deeply and said, "Return to my father, Su Xiangguo taught his children how to read memorials. It is popular and simple, and the children have benefited a lot."
"Yes!" Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Are you willing to study with Xiang Guo like this?"
"The child is very willing. Su Xiangguo taught me something that the master did not teach, how to see people and things, which gave the child a sense of enlightenment."
At this time, Yang Yuanqing remembered Du Ruhui's advice. When his son was half-understanding, bad indoctrination would only mislead his son. Su Wei was talented and capable, but he was afraid that he would have selfish motives.
However, Yang Yuanqing believed that Su Wei's selfish intention was just to establish a good relationship with his son, which was not misleading. On the contrary, Lu Yu and Cui Hongyuan would instill in his son the idea of choosing the best in aristocratic families.
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Tomorrow is Yang Neishi, and the day after tomorrow is Du Xiangguo. Old Cui Xiangguo is old, so don't bother him. Just go to Du Xiangguo. Lu Xiangguo is busy with business, so don't bother him. You can go to Su Xiangguo.
Do you understand?"
"I understand, kid!"
Yang Ning hesitated and then said: "If nothing happens to father, the child wants to go back to school."
"Go! You don't have to come here to ask for instructions. You can go directly to the school."
"Kid, remember, please leave first."
Yang Ning bowed and left. Yang Yuanqing looked at his son's back and walked away. He couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. Poor parents in the world, now he deeply understands how difficult it is to be a father.
........
Night gradually fell, people who had been busy all day went home, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually became less and less. Taiyuan City finally became quiet, but the Pei Mansion was shrouded in a sense of uneasiness and tension.
In Pei Ju's study, Pei Ju's face was ashen, and there was a kind of anger that could not be concealed in his eyes. He could not believe his ears. Pei Qingsong resigned from his post in the recording office and joined the army to serve as the governor of Nanyang County. This news almost made Pei Ju
Fainted.
Pei Qingsong knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said nothing. Although he longed to serve in a local area and it was his dream to serve as the governor of Nanyang County, he also knew that it was difficult to deal with the situation of the head of the family, and he could only accept the punishment.
Pei Ju pointed at him, his voice trembling with anger, "You...you bastard, you know how much our Pei family has paid to join the army for your record office. I even resigned from the position of Prime Minister, but you quit,
You...are you worthy of the family and worthy of me?"
"Grandpa, calm down, it's important to take care of yourself." Pei Jin advised in a low voice from the side.
"Oh my god! How come our Pei family has such stupid children."
Pei Ju covered his head and fell heavily on the cushion. He was going crazy. At this time, Pei Ju was completely stunned by the news.
He remembered that in order to obtain the position of joining the army in this reporter's office, he had resigned from the position of Prime Minister and completely given up his career in the court, just to seek an official career for his descendants and lay the foundation for the Pei family's future status in the court. Unexpectedly, his hard work would be
It was ruined in vain, ruined behind this ignorant child. At this moment, Pei Ju felt a sense of despair in his heart.
Next to him, Pei Jin was secretly happy. Pei Qingsong had always been his great enemy in the family. Now that Pei Qingsong had ruined his future, the stone that had been weighing on Pei Jin's heart was suddenly removed.
He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. This Pei Qingsong is indeed stupid. There are only two people in the world record office who have joined the army, and there are countless long history. They can't even tell which one is more important and which one is less important. What kind of officialdom is he still in? If it were him, he would have to do at least three
The way to become an official is to join the army, then go to a large county to be the governor, and then return to the court five years later. But this person... is really an idiot in officialdom.
Pei Jin felt contempt in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He only comforted his grandfather and said: "Perhaps His Highness the King of Chu wants to temper Qingsong. It is not necessarily a bad thing. Grandpa, don't be too angry. My grandson thinks that things are not that simple."
Changsun's persuasion made Pei Ju slowly calm down. In fact, he also realized that something was wrong. It was just that he was so angry that he did not carefully consider the causes and consequences. Once he calmed down, he came back to his senses. Could it be... Could this be...
Yang Yuanqing’s warning to himself?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was. He was about to ask in detail when the butler at the door reported, "Master, Lu Xiangguo is here to visit."
It was Lu Yu who came. Pei Ju quickly said to Pei Jin: "Go and invite Lu Xiangguo here for me."
Pei Jin hurried out, and Pei Ju said bitterly to Pei Qingsong: "This matter is irreversible, and I can't say anything to you anymore. You go! It's just that I misjudged the person."
Pei Qingsong did not dare to argue, and kowtowed with tears in his eyes, "Master, I promise, my grandson is leaving."
He stood up and slowly retreated. Pei Ju let out a long sigh. In one thought, he made a big mistake and caused endless troubles. He regretted it and made him feel a little hopeless.
The future of the Pei family was ruined from now on.
Not long after, Pei Jin took Lu Yu to his grandfather's study. Fan Yang's Lu family and Wenxi's Pei family had been married for more than a hundred years, and they supported each other. Lu Yu and Pei Ju were still in-laws. Pei Ju's second grandson Pei Zhu
, that is, Pei Minqiu's biological brother, and the wife he married was Lu Yu's daughter, so Lu Yu was one generation lower than Pei Ju in terms of generation.
There were still more than a hundred steps away from Pei Ju's study. When he saw Pei Qingsong leaving from another exit from a distance, Lu Yu asked Pei Jin in a low voice, "If I guessed correctly, your grandfather must be in a bad mood right now!"
Pei Jin nodded and sighed: "Qingsong resigned from the press office and joined the army, which was a big blow to my grandfather."
"Well! I'm just here to persuade him. Things are not as bad as he thinks."
When they arrived at the door of the study, Pei Jin reported: "Grandpa, Prime Minister Lu is here."
"Please come in!" Pei Ju's melancholy voice came from the room.
