On the official road to Luoyang, the carriage was slowly advancing.
Wang Su was sitting in the carriage, holding a classic in his hand, shaking his head and humming in a low voice.
His son was sitting opposite him, looking very tired.
He yawned, his face was full of sleepiness, and his energy was listless.
Seeing his son's unbearable appearance, Wang Su couldn't help but mocked: "When I was your age, I often rode horses and hunted with my friends, traveling hundreds of miles without getting tired. Look at your appearance, you have actually delayed me so much." time!!”
"I've told you on weekdays to stay away from your friends who take powder and drink alcohol, but you always don't listen. What now?"
"If I hadn't slowed down this time, I'm afraid you would have died on the way!"
Wang Kai didn't dare to say anything after being scolded by his old father.
Along the way, he was scolded to the point of confusion.
At this moment, he was just complaining, why couldn't he have been born a few years earlier?
Wang Kai had three brothers. The eldest brother died young due to taking drugs and drinking alcohol, leaving no heirs. The second brother Wang Xun served as the Yin of Henan and had jurisdiction over many counties in Henan. The third brother served as a guard order under Wei Wei. They mixed up very early. When you get ahead, you don't have to be by your father's side.
Wang Kai was the youngest and had no talents, so he could only serve his father and was taught and scolded by his father all day long.
Wang Su once again criticized these scribes today.
Wang Su looks down on today's young scholars very much.
"In martial arts, one cannot draw a bow and shoot an arrow. In literature, one cannot understand the classics. He takes powder and drinks all day long. He is ignorant and ignorant of the world's sufferings. This is what you are talking about!"
Wang Kai was probably used to his father's scolding, so he lowered his head and remained silent.
Amidst Wang Su's curses, the carriage finally arrived at the Sili area.
When the carriage came here, someone was already waiting for them.
The person who came to wait was Wang Xun, Wang Kai's second brother. Wang Xun and his younger brother Wang Kai didn't get along. The two brothers had completely opposite personalities.
Wang Xun is a man who can do things. Although he comes from a wealthy family, he is diligent and thrifty, honest and fair in his work. He has a reputation in the court and has become an important minister like Henan Yin early on. But Wang Kai spends all day taking powder and drinking. Extravagant, indulgent, and totally a playboy.
Wang Kai didn't like this brother, but when he saw him this time, Wang Kai became a little excited.
Finally, I no longer have to listen to my father’s nagging.
"Brother!!"
Wang Kai quickly jumped out of the carriage, walked quickly to Wang Xun's side, and bowed to see him.
"I knew my brother would come to greet me, why didn't my sister come?"
Wang Kai didn't notice at all. Wang Xun's face was a little serious and even a little restrained at the moment. He didn't answer his brother's question and looked at his father worriedly.
Wang Su got out of the car and immediately noticed the unnatural look on his son's face.
There were many soldiers standing behind his son at the moment, and the atmosphere didn't feel so friendly.
"Father!"
Wang Xun went to worship.
Wang Sun grunted and said, "It's busy farming time now. As a Henan Yin, why did you come here to greet me if you don't go to supervise the place?"
Wang Kai obviously didn't see the situation clearly. He said: "Father, my brother is a filial man and came here specially to greet me. Why are you still talking about him? He is not a farmer, so what will happen if he is under supervision?"
Wang Xun and Wang Su ignored him. Wang Xun lowered his head and said seriously: "My son is here to greet his father under the emperor's order."
Wang Kai looked unconcerned, but the corners of Wang Su's eyes twitched.
The emperor's edict? ?
Even if the son-in-law wants to issue an edict on behalf of the temple, should it be regarded as the edict of the Queen Mother?
How could it be the emperor's edict?
Did something big happen in Luoyang?
The Queen Mother was deposed?
Wang Su didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said, "Since it is His Majesty's order, then just follow it and go to Luoyang!"
"only!"
Wang Xun hurriedly started to prepare. Wang Su saw the soldiers following his son closely. At this moment, Wang Su felt an uproar in his heart.
As a die-hard ally of the Sima family, it is impossible for the Sima family to be so wary of their own family, even to the point of surveillance.
Something big must have happened in the court. Could it be that the officials took advantage of the son-in-law's departure from Luoyang to seize the temple?
Do they use the young emperor to control the government?
Wang Su thought about these things and got into the car again.
Wang Kai still sat opposite his father, but this time, Wang Su fell silent.
Looking at his silent father, Wang Kai was a little surprised.
Why did he stop talking when he arrived in Luoyang?
Wang Su didn't explain anything to his silly son. During the rest of the journey, Wang Su was very quiet.
When the carriage stopped, Wang Kai helped Wang Su get out of the carriage.
The moment he stepped out of the car, Wang Su almost screamed.
As soon as he got off the car, he saw a very sunny smile. That face was so familiar to Wang Su, and he would never forget it in his life! !
Cao Mao stood beside the carriage with a smile and looked at Wang Su kindly from afar.
It's you dirty thing again! !
Wang Su cursed in his heart. This time he dared to return to Luoyang, not only to teach Wang Xiang a lesson, but also because Master Sima was no longer here.
Wang Su was afraid of Sima Shi and didn't dare to arouse his fear, but Wang Su was not afraid of Sima Zhao, so he didn't believe it. Sima Shi was gone, how could you, a dirty guy, scare me?
But as soon as he got off the bus, Cao Mao gave him a big gift.
"Prince! Teacher! You are finally here!"
"Long time no see, are you okay?"
Cao Mao enthusiastically took Wang Su's hand. Wang Su took a deep breath and then showed a smiley face.
"I am fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"How dare I ask His Majesty to come to greet you in person?"
Cao Mao laughed, "You were my enlightenment teacher in the first place, so naturally you have to come to welcome me in person."
It would have been okay if Cao Mao didn't say it. But when he said this, Wang Su almost exploded with anger.
You still have the nerve to say that what Nai Gong taught you was directly used by you to make Wang Xiang famous. Do you still know that I am your teacher? ?
Wang Su's face was uncertain, but in the end he still suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Don't dare."
Cao Mao pulled Wang Su into the car and said to Wang Xun in the distance: "Your Majesty, you should continue to do your own business. Since I am here, you don't have to worry."
Wang Xun quickly saluted and said yes.
Wang Xun's respectful attitude made Wang Kai a little disdainful.
He is just a puppet emperor. I avoided him in the beginning because I was afraid of being feared by the general. Now that the general is my brother-in-law, why should I be afraid?
My brother has always been like this, completely without the character of a celebrity.
Wang Kai shouted: "Brother, it's rare for a family to get together, so don't leave. At least have a meal at my brother-in-law's house and then go back."
Wang Xun trembled and hurriedly reprimanded: "How dare you talk nonsense! Shut up!"
He looked at Cao Mao again, "Your Majesty, my brother is young and doesn't understand the truth. Please forgive me."
Wang Kai was a little unhappy and looked at Wang Su, "Father, brother..."
"Shut up!"
Wang Su scolded angrily.
Wang Su couldn't see this strange change. The son who served as Henan Yin was so respectful to the emperor that he was even a little scared. However, there were no confidants of his son-in-law around him. The few ministers were standing not far away with their heads lowered. .
Although Wang Su thought this was a bit ridiculous, he still saw the current situation.
This is definitely the emperor's personal rule.
If his son-in-law was still in charge, or if the ministers occupied the temple, it would be impossible for the emperor to come outside the city to pick up someone so openly.
The only explanation is that he is pro-government, so there are no restrictions.
Wang Su didn't understand how he did it, but he knew very well that his family was like a lamb to be slaughtered in front of the emperor, and they had no power to fight back.
Wang Kai was very aggrieved and stopped talking to them.
Cao Mao looked at Wang Kai and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
The traitor who fought against Shi Chong for wealth in history was probably the young man in front of him.
Speaking of the performance of these generations of the Wang family, it is a microcosm of the development of many aristocratic families today. Wang Lang is a person with good personal ethics and talents, Wang Su is a person with good talents, Wang Xun is a human being, and Wang Kai is not very human.
Sitting in the same car with the emperor, Wang Su lowered his head, but he was thinking about whether his daughter and grandson were safe.
"Teacher, you will definitely be very happy when you come to Luoyang this time."
"When you taught me Taixuan, I later became my teacher to Wang Taichang. When he heard what I learned, he was shocked and said that your knowledge and ideas were similar to his!"
"Teacher, when you first started studying, did you ask him for advice?"
When Cao Mao asked, Wang Su's face instantly turned red.
"Wang Xiang is a thief!! What knowledge does he have that I should learn from? He is just an evil thief who deceives the world and steals his reputation! He stole my knowledge!!"
Cao Mao's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said: "Don't say that. That prince is a famous person in the world, how could he do such a thing?"
"Hahaha~~~"
Wang Su laughed. He was so angry that he even forgot about his daughter and grandson. "Your Majesty, I came to Luoyang this time just to debate with this prince and see who stole it." Whose knowledge did you gain?"
"The stolen things are not yours after all. Once you have to compete, the secret will be revealed!"
Cao Mao frowned and said seriously: "These days, I often hear people saying that they steal knowledge and distort classics, but I never believe it. I never thought that such a thing really happens!"
"Please rest assured, if what you say is true, I will never let this type of person go!"
"I am also familiar with the classics. How can I let the classics become a means for traitors to make profits for themselves?"
"I will never allow such a thing to happen in Dawei!!"
Wang Su looked at the emperor in front of him again. At this moment, even this dirty thing became much more pleasing to the eye. Although he was still a dirty thing, he finally said a few human words.
How can we let those thieves be so presumptuous? !
