Chapter 140: Xiao Liang Lie Nv
w Su Wei held Yang Ning's hand and walked slowly on the long corridor of Ziwei Pavilion. The child's little hand that had not grown up gave him a sense of warmth, reminding him of his grandson. He had not held the child's hand like this for many years.
However, Su Wei was thinking more about the future of the Great Sui Dynasty. Just one hour of communication allowed him to see a kind of hope. As the saying goes, you can see the older one since childhood, and the character of a person when he grew up can be seen when he was a child.
Yang Ning is completely different from his father Yang Yuanqing. He is not as strong, arbitrary, and ruthless as his father. Yang Ning is gentle, more generous, more humble and polite. Such a child will be a benevolent when he grows up.
Almost every civil servant longs for his monarch to be a benevolent monarch, able to treat his subjects with mercy and kindness, so that his ministers will not be punished for words and will not be humiliated by the court.
The same is true for Su Wei. Although he has grown old, he hopes that his descendants can also receive the kindness of Yang Ning, and that the Su family can become a famous family like the Pei family.
Yang Ning was undoubtedly his hope. He taught him carefully for almost an entire hour. He wished he could take the position of young master and spend the rest of his life teaching Yang Ning.
But he also understood that Yang Yuanqing could not agree. Su Wei once hated the Pei family, who had such powerful power resources in the future, but now he was not jealous. He had already seen that Yang Yuanqing would not tolerate the Pei family dominance.
Striking the peripheral forces of the Lu family of Fanyang and Cui family of Boling is actually a sign of that Yang Yuanqing will gradually weaken the influence of the aristocratic families. Indeed, the first thing aristocratic families consider is not the interests of the court, but the interests of the family. This may not be possible in the early stages of a dynasty, but in the middle and late stages, these aristocratic families will become the biggest threat to the court.
The influence of the Shandong gentry will inevitably gradually decrease, which makes Su Wei feel very pleased. The Su family is also a major Guanlong clan and has produced many talents, such as Su Dingfang. In fact, they are also Su Wei's distant grandson, but they are a little weaker in civil servants.
If the Su family could receive the favor of the prince, then his efforts would not be in vain.
"The prince. When reading a memorial, you must first pay attention to the format, order, and calligraphy. Although this is just an external thing, you can see the character of the memorialist.
A melody with neat format, clear order and beautiful calligraphy means that the listener is a very orderly person, which means that his thinking is very clear, which means that he cares a lot about his reputation.
Such people will not have any major problems in character, so this is the reason why people see the words and the actions are seen.
On the contrary, a memorial with confusing ideas and chaotic calligraphy, such a memorialist first shows that he is restless and cannot handle things calmly."
Su Wei spoke very slowly and talked freely. Yang Ning also listened with all his attention, and never interrupted a word from beginning to end. This made Su Wei feel very pleased. A good listener could become a king who would accept advice.
At this time, they walked to Yang Yuanqing's official room. Su Wei felt a little disappointed. He had to wait for seven days next time. His eyes rolled. Maybe he could take Cui Hongyuan's place to come.
"What do you think the old minister will explain today?" Su Wei asked with a smile.
Yang Ning liked Su Wei's low attitude very much. He was not as strict and kind as his master, and his explanation was very meticulous, which made him understand a lot. He bowed deeply, "Thank you, Su Xiangguo for his careful advice, and the teacher for a day and a lifetime of kindness, I will remember it in my heart."
"Haha! This is what I should do. I won't go in. You go see my father!"
Su Wei let go of his hand, nodded slightly, turned around and left. Yang Ning kept watching him go away, and then knocked on the door, "Father, it's me, can you come in?"
"Come in!" My father's soft voice came from the room.
Yang Ning pushed the door and entered the room. This was also the first time he entered his father's official room. He was a little timid and curious. Curiosity is the nature of a child. After all, Yang Ning is only eight years old.
He secretly looked at the room. Like the inner study room in his home, it was also very simple and had almost no furniture, but it was much larger than the inner study room in his home.
Yang Yuanqing was reviewing the memorials, and he was also very concerned about his son's gains. When he saw his son come in, he put down his pen and smiled: "What did you learn from Su Xiangguo today? Have you gained anything?"
Yang Ning gave a deep gift, "Reported to his father, Su Xiangguo taught the child how to read the memorials, it was simple and simple, and the child gained a lot."
"Yeah!" Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Would you like to study with the Prime Minister like this?"
"The child is very willing. Su Xiangguo taught the master what he did not teach, and how to see people and things makes the child feel enlightened."
Yang Yuanqing remembered Du Ruhui's advice. When his son was half-understanding or not, his bad indoctrination would only mislead his son. Su Wei had talent and outstanding abilities, but he was afraid that he would have selfish intentions.
However, Yang Yuanqing believed that Su Wei's selfishness was just to establish a good relationship with his son, so he would not be misleading. Instead, Lu Yu and Cui Hongyuan would instill the idea of choosing the best in his son.
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Tomorrow is Yang Neishi Shi, the day after tomorrow is Prime Minister Du. Old Cui is old, don't bother him. Just look for Prime Minister Du. Prime Minister Lu is busy with affairs, don't bother him. You can find Prime Minister Su. Do you understand?"
"Boy understand!"
Yang Ning hesitated and said, "If my father has nothing to do, the child wants to go back to school."
"Go! You don't have to come over to ask for instructions in the future, you can go to the school directly."
"I remember, I'll take my leave first."
Yang Ning bowed and left. Yang Yuanqing looked at his son's back and walked away. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head. He felt sorry for his parents in the world. Now he deeply felt the difficulty of being a father.
...........
As night gradually fell, people who had been busy all day went home, and pedestrians on the street gradually became scarce. 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 turned pale, and anger that could not be concealed in his eyes. He could not believe his ears. Pei Qingsong resigned from his position as the military officer of the Record Office and served as the chief of Nanyang County. This news almost made Pei Ju faint.
Pei Qingsong knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said nothing. Although he was eager to go to the local area and becoming the chief minister of Nanyang County was his dream, he also knew that he was very sad to pass the head of the family and could only accept punishment.
Pei Ju pointed at him, his voice trembling with anger, "You...you bastard, do you know how much the price our Pei family paid for joining the army for your account room. I even resigned from the position of prime minister, but you quit. You...you are worthy of your family and me?"
"Grandfather calms down and it is important to take care of his health." Pei Jin whispered from the side.
"Oh my God! How come our Pei family has such stupid children?"
Pei Ju covered her head and fell heavily on the cushion. He was so angry that Pei Ju was completely out of mind by the news.
He remembered that in order to obtain the position of military service in this record room, he resigned from his position as prime minister and completely gave up his career in the court, just to seek a career for his juniors and lay the foundation for the Pei family's future court status. Unexpectedly, his efforts were ruined in vain and behind this ignorant child. At this moment, Pei Ju felt a sense of despair in his heart.
Pei Jin next to him was a little secretly happy. Pei Qingsong has always been his enemy in the family. Now Pei Qingsong has destroyed his future, causing the stones that have been pressing in Pei Jin's heart to be removed at once.
He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Pei Qingsong was indeed stupid. There were only two soldiers in the world's record room, but the chief officials didn't know how many of them were. They couldn't even tell which one was more important. What kind of officialdom he was still in. If he had to be a secretary for at least three years, then go to the prefect of the county, and return to the court in five years. This is the way to be an official, but this person... is really an idiot in the officialdom.
Pei Jin felt contempt in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he only comforted his grandfather: "Maybe this is His Highness of Chu who wants to hone Qingsong, which may not be a bad thing. Grandfather should not be too angry, grandson thinks things are not that simple."
Changsun's persuasion made Pei Ju calm down slowly. In fact, he realized that something was wrong. It was just that he was righteous and did not carefully consider the causes and consequences. Once he calmed down, he would feel a little reminiscent. Could it be... Could this be Yang Yuanqing's warning to him?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was. He was about to ask in detail. At this time, the butler at the door reported, "The head of the family, Lu Xiangguo is visiting."
It was Lu Yu who came, and Pei Ju hurriedly said to Pei Jin: "You go and invite Lu Prime Minister here for me."
Pei Jin quickly walked out, and Pei Ju then said hatefully to Pei Qingsong: "This matter is irreversible, and I can't say anything about you anymore. You go! It's just my fault for seeing the wrong person."
Pei Qingsong did not dare to argue and kowtowed with tears in his eyes, "The head of the family promised that the grandson would say goodbye."
He stood up and slowly retreated. Pei Ju sighed deeply. He did a big mistake in one thought, causing endless troubles, making him regret it, and making him feel a little disappointed, feeling that the future of the Pei family will be over from now on.
Soon, Pei Jin took Lu Yu to his grandfather's study. The Lu family of Fanyang and Wenxi Pei family had been married for more than a hundred years and supported each other. Lu Yu and Pei Ju are still relatives. Pei Ju's second-sun Pei Zhu, Pei Minqiu's 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 more than a hundred steps away from Pei Ju's study. Seeing Pei Qingsong leaving from another exit from a distance, Lu Yu asked Pei Jin in a low voice, "If I guess correctly, your grandfather must be in a bad mood now!"
Pei Jin nodded and sighed: "Qingsong resigned from the Records Office to join the army, which was a big blow to his grandfather."
"Well! I'm here to persuade him, things are not as bad as he thought."
They came to the entrance of the study, and Pei Jin reported: "Grandfather, Lu Xiangguo is here."
"Please come in!" Pei Ju's extremely melancholy voice came from the room.
.....Welcome to your support, which is my greatest motivation.m
