Faced with the murmurs from the government and the public, Xiang Xu went down to the court, closed the door to thank guests, and carefully read the "Hua Family Genealogy" that Wang Dan gave him several times, deduced it again and again, and finally set his sights on "Hua Gaobi" " on the name; and as he approached, he put a drop of wax oil on the name of "Hua Chen" as a mark.
Hua Gaobi is the grandson of Hua Yuan and the son of Hua Yue.
As we all know, Hua Chen has always been at odds with Hua Gao.
Although it is precisely because of Hua Yuan's re-election that Xiang Xu has ascended to the top position among the six ministers; however, with the current chaos, if everyone wants him to step down, I am afraid that the next person to be promoted will be this "Hua Yuan". Gaobi".
Everyone knows that Hua Yue is a "sick man". He can drag himself to death and stay alive. He is already grateful to the blessings of his ancestors for three generations!
Therefore, now, if there is a change of government, the first person to guard against is this kid.
Xiang Xu's feelings for Hua Yuan are very complicated: on the one hand, he is grateful for his cultivation and promotion; on the other hand, he is full of worries and uneasiness that he may be replaced at any time and his life's hard work will be in vain.
How to deal with the relationship between the Hua family and the Huan family, as well as the relationship between Hua and Huan, and the monarch of the Song Dynasty, were all things he had to carefully weigh and consider.
Before everything turned around, Xiang Xu could keep his composure very well. This style permeated the highest power circle of the Song Dynasty: whether it was the king of the Song Dynasty or the head of the six ministers, everyone seemed to be engaged in a " It’s an endurance race to see who can have the last laugh.
Power and wealth, who is the leader of this world?
It has been a “good question” that has fascinated the world since ancient times.
Those who chase them will spend their whole lives without getting tired or regretting.
While Xiang Xu was patient, suppressed his temper, and waited quietly, Wang Dan received the news of Hua Xi's death and had to sneak back to Song Dynasty.
Although Wang Dan's mother and Hua Xi's sister Hua Ying left him a last wish before she died of illness, no matter how difficult life was in the future, Wang Dan would never seek help from Uncle Hua Xi; but in Hua Xi's life, In addition to teaching him martial arts skills, he also played the role of the "big carrot" biological father. From the perspective of a "father" who truly taught him the principles of life, in his heart, he must do everything he can no matter what. Filial piety.
What's more, for him, "Yidianhong" has never "broken trust" with anyone.
He also came to give an explanation to Xiang Xu and promised to complete the matter of "weak China and civil strife" for him.
After Hua Xi was demoted, although Hua's family was prestigious, the funeral ceremony was indeed much lower than what it should have been when he was in power. Only a few stewards from relatives came to pay homage on his behalf.
Among them, there was Hua Wu, who was Hua Gaobi's steward.
Wang Dan hid himself on the high beams on the roof, silently watching the people coming and going below. He also got an impression of this "Hua Wu": honest, upright, seemingly loyal, and polite. At that time, even though he was doing it for someone else, he didn't care about his age, so he did all the etiquette and all the movements in place, including howling, chanting, walking, sitting and lying down, etc.!
"This person is good!"
Wang Dan had a very good impression of this person.
But he never imagined that a few days later, this man's life would be in his hands.
The thing is, no good thing comes alone, and no misfortune comes alone.
Hua Xi's body was still cold, and the nobles of the Song Dynasty seemed to have been "sent from heaven". Hua Yue, who had been ill for many years, also died the next night.
The Hua Clan Ancestral Hall suddenly became busy: to welcome two clan members into the garden at once, many things were not prepared. For a time, people from all over the Hua Clan had to provide more people to help.
It is also necessary to bring funds to enter the garden.
And the reconstruction of the recently destroyed bluestone road is another huge project.
That is Fahrenheit, and the family is rich!
A large number of labor workers worked together, working hard and slowly. Finally, the coffins of the two adults were safely brought into the garden one by one and buried safely.
Doctor Hua Chen has always disliked Hua Gaobi.
And the thickness of this funeral is even more distinct.
Huayue's scenery is infinite; but Huaxi's is bleak. Even for the spirit tablet on the case, Hua Xi didn't have a place to place it.
Hua Chen had a personal relationship with Xiang Xu.
After Xiang Xu carefully studied the "Fahrenheit family tree" three times, Xiang Xu decided to let Hua Chen take action and provoke internal strife in Fahrenheit first.
Xiang Xu did not show up personally in this matter, but chose Wang Dan as the candidate to come forward.
After all, Wang Dan is Hua Xi's nephew and can be considered a member of the Hua clan.
Although the relationship between them is not that close, he is still very good at "stirring up trouble".
Seeing that Uncle Huaxi was buried, Wang Dan should have just slipped away again, but he was a man who "keeps his word", so he came to Xiangxu's bedroom again at night and explained to him what happened last time and why he only Halfway through, something unexpected happened, causing the Huan family to lose so many lives in vain.
He always felt that he had to give an explanation before he could live up to his reputation as "a little bit popular".
When Xiang Xu saw Wang Dan again, he also secretly admired him. He was really a "responsible" and "starting and ending" person.
"Hey! It's late at night and it's dark. I can't burn the wax, and I can't even burn it. It's dirty and dirty everywhere, and I can't even read the handwriting clearly!"
So, Xiang Xu opened the "Fahrenheit Family Tree" and deliberately dropped the condensed wax oil on the names "Hua Chen" and "Hua Gaobi", and slowly picked it off - just this action, although there was nothing More words, Wang Dan already understood his mission.
"Xiang Zhengqing, I will give you a refreshing night, no need to burn candles for light at night!"
The next day, among the trusted officers of the Watson Mansion, the leader of the team summoned his "brother" from the countryside to take his place for a few days because of a sudden "unbearable stomachache."
This "elder brother" is smart and has great martial arts. What's even more rare is that he can also cook well and satisfy everyone in Washington.
And he quickly won Watson's trust.
On this day, the "elder brother" saw that Hua Chen was angry and scolded the housekeeper for sending Hua Yue a funeral that exceeded his plan:
"My family is only a mere doctor. The gift you gave me is beyond the standards of a noble minister. Why do you ask me to spend so much? Did you get my permission before receiving it? After all, you are the master of my house. ? It belongs to you, and it belongs to me? Let me tell you, do you have to behave like this? There are really no rules at all! You are doing it for me!"
Hua Chen's butler was silent at first, lying on the ground obediently, kowtowing and begging for mercy. After Hua Chen had finished cursing and ran out of new words, he defended himself in a low voice: "You are ignorant, this is a rule. , I’m in a hurry, and I’m asking others to tell me! I don’t mean to be overbearing, and I’d like to ask for a clear understanding!”
