Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Oh? Hahaha... My family Erlang's ability to wake up is also due to Guo Jungong. If he hadn't made friends with you at the beginning, he might still be walking dogs and fighting cocks in Chang'an City, just like a dude. As for father and son Waiting for such a sweet dream, hahaha..."

After hearing this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help laughing loudly, waved his hands again and again and said humbly: "Don't dare to think about it, don't dare to think about it, as long as this child has no worries about food and clothing in the future, and will be rich and honored forever, I, as a father, can rest assured. How dare I send it to him?" Hope that father and son will serve the king at the same time? Duke Guo is really joking."

Fang Xuanling said so, but the true expression on his face still betrayed him. Guo Ye could see that Fang Xuanling still yearned for this.

That's right, raising a child to one hundred will cause 99 worries.Which parents don't want their son to become a dragon, which parents don't want their children to rise to the top in the future, have a bright future, and shine in the family?

Especially for traditional Confucian literati like Fang Xuanling, not only that, but even stronger.

Immediately, he smiled softly: "Master Fang is too self-effacing. Your eldest son is dutiful and kind, and your second son is smart and clever. They will all have a bright future in the future. Hehe, Mr. Fang can rest assured."

These words were really nice to hear, and Fang Xuanling really liked to hear them, and there was an unconcealable, lingering smile on his face, and he enjoyed it very much.

But in a daze, Fang Xuanling thought of the misfortune that happened early this morning, thought that the general trend of Tiance Mansion was over, and thought that after His Majesty Luanjia returned to Beijing, maybe Fang Xuanling's good days would come to an end.

Even if he didn't follow the trend this time, Fang Xuanling was at least from the Tiance Mansion's family, and his status among the officials of the Tiance Mansion's family was second only to Changsun Wuji.

Being implicated by this is definitely unavoidable.

When he thought of being assigned a cold bench by the emperor in a few days, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Now the two sons are both in their infancy and their wings are still fledgling. If he sits on the bench again, I am afraid that the future of the two sons will also be worrying.

Sigh... It's a matter of time and fate, I never thought that I would fall into a situation where my son's future would be affected.

As soon as he thought of this, he gradually faded the smile on his face, a sad look appeared on his face, and he sighed.

After Guo Ye saw this, he was slightly happy, and said silently, the fire is here!

Immediately, he moved up to Fang Xuanling, and said softly: "Master Fang, to be honest, today Guo's visit to the mansion is not only to reminisce about the past, but also to relieve Mr. Fang's hidden worries in the future. It is Guo Ye who repays your kindness of taking care of me back then, and it is also the fulfillment of the brotherhood between me and my beloved."

"Well?"

Fang Xuanling's complexion tightened, as if Guo Ye had peeped out his thoughts, a little flustered in his heart, and he was eager to cover up: "What does Mr. Guo mean by this? Mr. Fang didn't understand."

"Master Fang, let's open the skylight and speak honestly!"

Guo Ye said bluntly: "Lord Fang and the late Du Ruhui are known as Fang Conspiracy and Judgment. Some things should be seen farther than ordinary people. It should not be difficult for you to see that the matter of today's early court is obviously caused by His Majesty himself. Instructed me to wait. Moreover, His Majesty's tour of the south of the Yangtze River is also intentional. Mr. Fang, let me ask you, after today's morning battle, what do you think of Changsun Wuji's future?"

Fang Xuanling was obviously not surprised by what Guo Ye said, but he expected it, and said calmly: "Master Changsun? Now, what future does he have? After His Majesty returns to Beijing, can he Saving a life is already a blessing."

Guo Ye asked again: "Then what about the future of your Tiance Mansion?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "Master Changsun has lost power, Tang Jian is mediocre and ineffective, Yin Tianzong is dead, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and others seem to be in harmony with each other, and most officials of the Tiance Mansion have been implicated this time because they are vassals of the Supreme Emperor. Alas, the Tiance Mansion, which is in full swing, is now in decline, and it has become a thing of the past. Even if the remaining people can be saved in the future, the morale will be wiped out like sand."

Guo Ye let out a sigh, and said in his heart that his analysis was objective.

"Since that's the case, has Mr. Fang ever made any plans for his future?"

Guo Ye stared at Fang Xuanling's face, and asked straightforwardly: "If you also follow in the footsteps of Master Changsun, where will you leave my two brothers who are my beloved brothers? Master Fang should know in his heart that they are now fledgling. Feng, they need you as a father to help them. As the saying goes, a good wind can help me to the nine heavens by strength. If you are still there, it is the good wind of the two of them. If it loses power, not only It can't benefit their brothers, but it will drag them both down and hinder their brothers' future. Mr. Fang, you should have thought about all of this, right?"

"hiss……"

Fang Xuanling's face became stiff, and he took a sharp breath, looked at Guo Ye with some unkindness in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Guo Ye, what exactly do you want to say? Please speak bluntly..."

"Happy, if I hide it again, it seems that I am taking advantage of others."

Immediately, Guo Ye narrated the set of arguments discussed with Li Jing and Kong Yingda before...

"no!"

Fang Xuanling was furious, and shouted: "It's absolutely impossible, if I do this, where will the interests of the Guanlong family be placed?"

"The Guanlong family?"

Guo Ye sneered and said, "Lord Fang, with your eyesight, do you think His Majesty will tolerate the interests of your Guanlong clan continuing to flourish and endanger the imperial power in the end? Any hidden dangers that hinder the Great Tang and endanger the country, Your Majesty will never tolerate it. He can be ruthless even to the Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince, so how could he be soft-hearted to you?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head stubbornly and said: "But I can't ignore the interests of the Guanlong family for my own interests. How is this different from a treacherous villain?"

Guo Ye said: "Master Fang seems to have really lost his heart, and he can never find it again. Have you forgotten the original intention of becoming an official? Do you want to be like Changsun Wuji and others, disregarding the empire for your own self-interest? benefit?"

"No, I don't." Fang Xuanling shook his head like a rattle again, and hastily argued, "I am loyal and have never had selfishness."

"Wrong, since the day you and Changsun Wuji stood in the court for the benefit of the Guanlong family, you have gone on the wrong path."

Guo Ye sighed softly: "Lord Fang, I hope you will carefully consider Guo's opinion. The Guanlong family is a big tiger blocking the way of the empire, and His Majesty's determination to fight the tiger will not change. The Supreme Emperor, Prince Chengqian, King Lu, King Jing, King Daoxiao, and Changsun Wuji are lessons from the past. It is foreseeable that the Guanlong family will surely fall, and all fetters that hinder the advancement of the empire will be wiped away. When that day comes, if you continue to collude , you are old enough, but you have dragged down the two brothers you have always loved."

Speaking of this, Guo Ye looked at Fang Xuanling solemnly, and admonished him with an emphatic tone: "Master Fang, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about their brothers. Your Majesty has not yet returned Chang'an, you have plenty of time, I hope you can think it over and give me an answer as soon as possible."

After saying that, Guo Ye cupped his hands, walked to the door without saying a word, pushed the door open, left the study, and went straight home.

Putting one hand on the desk, Fang Xuanling murmured silently with a tangled expression: "Could it be that I was wrong in the first place? Follow the trend, follow the current situation, for the sake of the legacy, for the sake of the legacy..."

"Father!"

Fang Yizhi suddenly appeared at the door, and said in a respectful voice: "Father, the second brother sent someone from Liangcai County to send a letter. He mentioned in the letter that he encountered another difficult lawsuit in the past few days. Father, please support me."

"This kid..."

When Fang Xuanling heard this, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he lightly blamed him: "Now that we are all county magistrates, there are still cases that will not be judged. Yi Zhi, come in, and we will Tell me about this lawsuit and listen to me as a father."

"Here!"

Holding the letter in his hand, Fang Yi stepped into the study.

……

……

After a long time, Guo Ye returned to his home in Taipingfang.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Pingyang County Duke's Mansion, someone from the door hurriedly reported: "My lord, you are back. There is a guest in the flower hall who has been waiting for you for a long time. Madam said that she is pregnant, and she is a female relative, so it is inconvenient to meet you for you." guest, so that guest has been waiting for you in the flower hall."

Guo Ye stopped in his tracks and asked, "Do you know who this guest is from?"

The concierge nodded and said: "I seem to have known him before. If I remember correctly, I should be the eldest grandson, the third son, who was a guest at our house before."

The third grandson?

The eldest grandson Yumo?Hasn't there been any news from this kid so far?Which corner did it come from now?

With a bang, Guo Ye suddenly raised his foot and stepped inside, heading straight for the flower hall.

Chapter 1027 Too ridiculous!

Guo Ye galloped into the flower hall, and just as he crossed the threshold, he didn't even see the figure of the elder Sun Yumo clearly, so he hurriedly shouted: "Eldest Sun Yumo, you are willing to come back, huh?"

Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a straight figure in the flower hall, but he was dressed in fancy clothes like a Hu suit, and the boots on his feet looked like sheepskin boots from the Western Regions.
