Chapter 549 The Holy Emperor (2)(1/3)
July is on fire.
Even in the morning, Bianjing is starting to get muggy.
Therefore, Wen Yanbo moved to the villa next to Qionglin Garden outside the city early to cool off.
This villa was given collectively by the emperor in the first year of Zhiping, after the British Temple was restructured into the Yuan Dynasty, in order to reward the Jiayou chief ministers for their support and protection.
It is a pity that the colleagues who made the decision together to establish the throne have now passed away.
Han Qi died in the eighth year of Xining, and Fu Bi passed away in the sixth year of Yuanfeng.
Therefore, whenever Wen Yanbo returns to this villa next to Qionglin Garden, he always misses his old friend.
Just like now, he was staring at the copybook in front of him in a daze.
This calligraphy is Han Qi's authentic handwriting.
Han Qi's calligraphy follows the path of Yan Lugong (Yan Zhenqing), and he independently creates a unique calligraphy path.
Not only the lines are dense, but also the lines are dense, and the words are pressed and paused, which also shows the perseverance.
The most precious thing about this copybook is that it also contains inscriptions and postscripts from many old friends.
Among them, the handwriting of a person whose handwriting is tight on the inside and loose on the outside, with elegant brushwork, is the most conspicuous.
The signature signed by this person on the copybook shows his identity - it is the character "弼" written in cursive.
There is no doubt that it can only be Fu Bi.
Mr. Fu Zheng, a maverick in his life!
Fu Bi was different from everyone else. He did not give himself a nickname. Even if he became an official in his later years, he would not follow the crowd and call himself XX old man.
That's how he is, straight to the point.
Seeing the words is like seeing the face, looking at the calligraphy of old friends, Wen Yanbo couldn't help sighing.
The colleagues who launched the Qingli New Deal together with the intention of reforming the country and strengthening the country are now almost dead.
Even the political opponents in the Qingli era were killed.
Today, the only Qingli gentlemen still alive are him and Zhang Fangping.
But Zhang Fangping, that old man, doesn't care about his old feelings at all and insists on going against him!
oh……
After the failure of the Qingli New Deal, Zhang Fangping immediately jumped to the rebel side.
That’ll be fine!
Wen Yanbo was thinking about the past.
There were footsteps in the courtyard outside the wing.
"Sir!" Soon, the voice of his youngest son Wen Zongdao came from the door.
Wen Yanbo turned around and saw Wen Zongdao kneeling at the door to say hello.
"What's the matter?" Wen Yanbo asked.
"I heard a rumor about Bianjing City..." Wen Zongdao knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "It is said that the current officials are interested in buying up the pawnshop."
"I heard that Zen Master Zhixing from Daxiangguo Temple has already gone to Luoyang overnight."
"Oh!" Wen Yanbo nodded and looked at this silly son coldly: "So what?"
"Sir..." Wen Zongdao swallowed his saliva and bowed: "Aren't you going to go back to the court to beg for an audience with the officials?"
That's a cash register.
A cornucopia comparable to a treasure chest.
"Who called you here?" Wen Yanbo asked coldly, his tone becoming extremely unkind.
Wen Zongdao lay trembling.
As soon as Wen Yanbo saw Wen Zongdao's cowardice, he already knew: "It's your wife again!"
If it weren't for etiquette, Wen Yanbo would really want to force Wen Zongdao and his wife to divorce.
But there is no way!
There are seven laws of etiquette, but there are also three laws of not going away.
He, Wen Yanbo, was not brave enough to risk the disapproval of the world and force his wife to reconcile before his daughter-in-law touched Qi Chu.
He could only sigh, and then said: "You go down..."
He was really disappointed with Wen Zongdao.
It's just stupid. The key is that he is being led by a woman. He has no independent opinion and is driven by greed.
Wen Zongdao wanted to say something more, but his old father stopped him directly: "No need to say any more!"
Wen Jifu, Wen Yiqing, and Wen Yanbo might even make a few remarks, or even patiently break things down for them to analyze.
But he had lost all patience with Wen Zongdao.
I didn't want to waste any more words with him - the last time the emperor visited Wen's mansion, he had scolded Wen Zongdao and his wife.
How many days has it been?
The couple actually dared to come to him, talk about the country's affairs, and even wanted to encourage him to return to the court to fight for power!
Who is Wen Kuanfu?
A villain who is obsessed with profit? A traitor who is greedy for money? Or a businessman who is determined to spend every penny he has?
What do you think of the court again?
Is it from the Wen family?
"Go away!" Looking at Wen Zongdao, he still wanted to be sentimental and want to say some nonsense. Wen Yanbo became furious and raised a few sticks. He shouted with some anger: "You are a traitor, and you dare to discuss government affairs in front of me again."
, I will stick you to death!"
Wen Zongdao kowtowed in despair, apologized again, and left in a panic.
Wen Yanbo looked at this stupid son and shook his head.
"It can't go on like this!"
"If your father is not virtuous and your mother is immoral, why should your mother respect the world?"
In the Song Dynasty, the emperor's choice of empress Yuan had strict conditions.
Parents’ virtue, character, words and deeds are also important references.
So Wen Yanbo looked back at Han Qi's copybook.
His eyes scanned back and forth over the words Fu Bi signed.
"Brother Yan Guo!" Wen Yanbo sighed softly: "I finally know why brother wrote that note in the past."
Fu Bi seldom asked for help in his life.
But in his later years, he wrote a note in his own hand and gave it to an old friend in the capital, asking him to take care of his son, and also asking him to burn it after reading it.
As a result, the other party took care of me.
But instead of ‘burning it after reading it’, it was preserved.
The reason is - Fu Bi's handwriting is so good.
This matter was revealed in the third year of Yuanfeng's reign.
When Wen Yanbo learned about it, he laughed at Fu Bi a lot.
But now...
Wen Yanbo deeply understood Fu Bi's helplessness back then.
The son is useless, and the old father is helpless, so he can only give up his face.
I thought that as early as Wen Ji, Wen Yiqing was already at the bottom of the Wen family.
Unexpectedly, Wen Zongdao alone surpassed Wen Jifu and Wen Yiqing.
Wen Yanbo felt that if something bad happened to the Wen family in the future.
I'm afraid it will be ruined in the hands of this stupid son - Wen Jifu and Wen Yiqing. Although they are stupid, they can at least lie down and make friends.
Wen Zongdao?
It may be difficult to even win by lying down.
If this continues, I'm afraid even Thirteenth Niang will be implicated!
what to do?!
Wen Yanbo's old face was almost wrinkled.
Worried in his heart, Wen Yanbo leaned on crutches, and with the help of the servants, walked out of the wing and went outside to relax, and at the same time, he was thinking about ways to do it.
To be continued...
