Lu Yunchang still failed to persuade his father in the end.He also knew that with his father's temperament, if he really made a decision, their family, including his mother, his sister and his son, would not be able to change his father's decision.Since he couldn't persuade him, he had to compromise and help his father pack his luggage to return to Beijing.Lu Yunchang's wife, Xiang Yun, looked at her husband's depressed appearance and proposed, "Or, let's go back to Shangjing with our father?"
”"What about the private school here?""
If our Lu family's house stays here, there will definitely be someone guarding it.When the time comes, hire another gentleman. ”"I'll think again."
Lu Yunchang's heart was also wavering.Compared with his father, who is known as the leader of the altar, his talent can only be regarded as mediocre, and he is not as good as his younger brother and lively sister who likes to roam the rivers and lakes.With his ability, he can only open a private school for enlightenment.A father's reputation is a father's reputation, and he categorically will not use his father's reputation to pave the way for himself.Then if he leaves this Fengshui County, he will have to start again.But he was not at ease when he let his parents and little sister leave.Because of his wife's proposal, Lu Yunchang tossed and turned for a long time, and finally made a decision.Early the next morning, he ran to his father, who was practicing the Five Birds Opera, "Dad, my son wants to go back to Shangjing with you." ”The old man Lu Qinfeng made a pause, and after slowly practicing the crane's movements, he put down his legs and looked at his eldest son, "I also said yesterday that I would pack my luggage for my father, why did I go this night and go with him?"
”Lu Yunchang felt that he couldn't say it directly, "Just, my son thought about it all night, and he still wanted to go back to Shangjing to have a look." ”"Then you don't care about your private school?
Also, when you return to Shangjing, have you figured out what to do?
”"My son is just a general learner, and this private school hires another gentleman to also teach, as for when he arrives in Shangjing, his son and Wan Niang have also saved some savings over the years, and they can open a bookstore to see when the time comes."
As for returning to Shangjing to open a private school, he didn't even think about it.The most important thing in Shangjing City is probably a private school."
It's good if you have a plan," Lu Qinfeng smiled a little in his eyes, "Then arrange your private school and go together." ”Lu Yunchang also has the temperament to implement the decision immediately, with his father's nod, after going to the private school to finish the book that day, he said that he was going to leave Fengshui County to go to Shangjing, and he would give everyone the decision to hire another gentleman.The children who were about to go home were stunned, "Didn't Mr. teach us?"
”Lu Yunchang had a gentle temperament when he was teaching, and the children liked him very much.As soon as I heard that Mr. was leaving, several children turned red on the spot.He comforted them one by one, and the children reluctantly returned home.Who knows when he turns his head and looks, "Geng Su, why haven't you left yet?"
”The person he called should not be a child, just a teenager.Geng Su is the oldest child in the private school, and he entered school late, but he studied very hard.He would sit quietly in his seat, and when he heard the gentleman call him, he stood up and raised his head, "Sir, can I go to Shangjing with you?"
”Lu Yunchang was a little silent for a while.He knew some of Geng Su's family situation.Geng Su's father had an accident on his way out for business, and he didn't return home for several years, and the family had already tacitly agreed that he was dead.His mother couldn't stand being widowed and eloped with a merchant.Fortunately, she still loves her son, and she eloped and did not take away the family's assets, Geng Su has been living with the old servant of the family for the past few years.It can also be said that there is no concern."
Why do you want to go to Sangkyung?""
Students want to go to bigger places."
Looking at the young man's immature but firm face, Lu Yunchang sighed lightly, "Then you can arrange your home in the next few days, pack your luggage, and on the day you leave, I will send someone to call you." ”"Thank you, sir."
After Lu Yunchang went back, he told his father about Geng Su."
My father remembers that little boy named Geng Su is also tenacious."
Fengshui County is not big, and the story of Geng Suniang's elopement with someone has been rumored for a long time, even if he doesn't go out much, he has heard it, and it is difficult for that young man to survive in so many rumors at a young age.Lu Qinfeng nodded at his eldest son, "Then take him with you." ”Geng's house is not far from Lu's house, Geng Su returned home, and when he had dinner with Uncle Geng, he said that he was going to go to Shangjing with his husband.Uncle Geng is an old servant of the Geng family, since the old man disappeared and the lady left, he has been dependent on the little young master for his life.After listening to the young master's decision, he only paused with his chopsticks and nodded, "Okay." ”Lu Yunchang found a husband who replaced him the next day, and after listening to a few lessons from Mr.
Xin, he put his mind at ease and officially handed over the children in the private school to the other party.chose a sunny day, and everyone in the Lu family set off quietly.When he arrived outside Fengshui County, he joined the Geng family's carriage and headed north.Chen lit a candle in the dark, startled by her husband, who was sitting behind the table.I couldn't help but sigh angrily, "Why don't you light the lights in the house?"
”Walking over and seeing her husband holding a letter in his hand, she glanced at the handwriting on the envelope, "Another letter from Shang Jing?"
I said, master, you can go back if you want to, what are you struggling with?
”Qi Shu'an glanced up at his old wife, and Nunu mouthed, "I once swore in the main hall that I would never step into Shangjing again."
If you go back, won't you be a slap in the face?
”Chen Shi rolled his eyes at him, "You still swear that you will never eat fat again, how many times have you broken this vow?"
”"This, can this be the same?""
It's not the same.Alright, I've packed all my luggage for you.Our house has also dragged the neighbors to take care of it, hurry out to eat, sleep well after eating, and we will leave tomorrow. ”Looking at the back of his wife's neat steps and leaving, Qi Shu'an moved his gaze to the envelope in his hand again, and a touch of firmness crossed his eyes.The fat has been eaten, what is the oath!
Early the next morning, the couple got into the carriage bound for Shangjing.Just when the three gentlemen invited by Wei Xi rushed to Shangjing from all over the north and south, the court was not calm.Zong Xu's return represents the breaking of the balance between the crown prince and the six princes that Emperor Mingde has struggled to maintain.Emperor Mingde did feel guilty about Zong Xu's son, but after the time of the past few years and his increasingly weak body, there was not much left.Not to mention that as soon as this son came back this time, he directly showed his fangs to his father with the intention of seizing the throne.His jealousy of Zong Xu has now surpassed that of the crown prince and the six princes.The crown prince and the six princes are mediocre, but Zong Xu is the opposite.Able to endure hardships, with precise eyes and outstanding ability.This son's talent was only jealous when he was young.Emperor Mingde wanted to suppress this son fiercely, but he repeatedly failed to suppress him, but made him gather many ministers to stand in line.Under this urgency and anger, his body became even weaker.When Emperor Mingde found out that the Yaoguo Mansion was also standing behind Zong Xu, it meant that the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War among the six departments were already Zong Xu's forces.And Su Qi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who has just been promoted, is also his person.Of the six yamen, Zongxu alone accounted for three.After reading the results of the investigation, Emperor Mingde's whole person was not good.Angry, the person was directly unconscious.The emperor is unconscious, and it stands to reason that the crown prince should be in power.But it was only after Zong Yu came to power for a while that he realized that he seemed to have unlimited scenery, but in fact, his power had almost been hollowed out.Zong Sheng was more knowledgeable than the prince, and when he found that he couldn't fight Zong Xu, he wisely handed over his power in the ministry.and Zong Min, who was originally a prince, chose to be a low-key person.And Emperor Mingde finally succeeded in revitalizing after the unremitting efforts of the doctors of the Tai Hospital.After waking up, he didn't care about his weakness, and went to court the next day.But as the days passed, he also realized that his power had already been emptied by the ambitious King Yue.Above this court, there is no longer even a need for himself, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.Finally realized this, and after the next dynasty, Emperor Mingde dragged his increasingly heavy body to summon the king of Yue.It's still the Imperial Study.Emperor Mingde sat behind the imperial case, watched the door of the imperial study open, and watched the more slender and upright figure with the light on his back walking towards him step by step.His mind went back to six years ago.At that time, he was also sitting in this position, and he just learned that among his children, there was also a Nine Emperor Prince who was born in the cold palace since he was a child, and he came to see him.The young man I saw that day was slender, and he had lived in a cold palace since he was a child, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not restrained in the face of him.And because of the face similar to the woman he loved, he was a little fond of this child at that time.Who knew that this favor has become a sharp knife against him today.Zong Xu walked to the imperial case, raised his eyebrows, and bowed his hand, "The son of the emperor to see his father." ”Emperor Mingde's eyes were bright and bright, and he pressed the corners of his lips and coughed for a while before waving his hand, "Flatten." ”Duzhong poured a cup of tea, looked at the father and son in front of him, and quietly retreated.Emperor Mingde looked at Zong Xu's face as calm as ever, and two thoughts were rolling wildly in his mind.One was clamoring for a change of palace guard to come in and kill the rebel.One is afraid of his son, Rao is that he doesn't want to admit it, but he is really afraid of this son.He closed his eyes, "I have sent you to see you, so I am not afraid that I will kill you?"
”"Father, the head of the palace is the son of the deputy general under the command of the Duke of Lao Yaoguo, if you give an order, he will also resist the order."
Emperor Mingde was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Okay, that's good." ”"When the retainer came to see his father, he actually had something to say to his father.""
What do you want to say?"
Zong Xu raised his head and met Emperor Mingde's eyes, "Please abdicate my father." ”
