Xu Yong discovered to his horror that he was actually the biggest victim. Others have the support of courtiers in the clan, but he does not. Others can look down on Shen Lun and apologize, but he can't.
In this case, wouldn't it be digging one's own grave and seeking death?
It's not scary for a group of people to be unlucky. What's scary is that everyone else has found a way out, and only you are left.
Xu Yong was a little hesitant, sitting behind a few cases at a loss.
At this time, Xu Yong's son, Xu Subaru, came in. His face was full of tears and he looked at his father: "I... my career is hopeless, right?"
Xu Yong felt a pain in his heart.
My son is nearly thirty years old. Just because he is alone in the court, he has not entered an official career until now.
According to the original plan, Xu Yong has endured for so many years and has been careful to make friends with important ministers. Even if it is his turn, it should be his turn. It's a pity... I ruined all of this with my own hands.
Xu Yong stood up slowly and said to Xu Subaru: "Who said your career is hopeless? Don't listen to people's nonsense."
Xu Subaru said: "I have met the families of those courtiers, and I have heard what they said. I know that it is no longer possible to ask them for recommendations."
Xu Yong forced a smile: "It doesn't matter. If the recommendation fails, you can still take the imperial examination. As long as the score is high enough, you can still become an official in the court."
Xu Subaru let out a long sigh: "Imperial examination, imperial examination... the textbooks are compiled by Shangjun Academy. And now that Shangjun Academy has opened classes again, how can outsiders compete with them? At least the next imperial examination, Shangjun Academy will People from the Imperial Academy have an advantage. Maybe after ten years, when people all over the world are familiar with the imperial examination, Shangjun Courtyard will not be so important."
Xu Yong said nothing.
Xu Subaru rubbed his eyes: "But life is short, how many decades are there?"
After saying this, he turned and left.
Xu Yong looked at Xu Subaru's back, feeling both distressed and angry: "This unfilial son."
Xu Subaru didn't say anything, but the meaning behind his words was asking Xu Yong to beg and apologize.
Xu Yong paced back and forth in the room, and finally gritted his teeth and planned to go to Shen Lun's house.
What is face? If the Xu family really fell because of this matter, then it would be a disservice to the ancestors.
When Xu Yong came to the gate of Shenlun Mansion, two or three courtiers happened to be passing nearby.
These courtiers had come to apologize a few days ago, with sincere smiles on their faces, but with embarrassment and humiliation in their hearts.
Every time this matter was brought up, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, feeling that they really shouldn't have talked too much in the first place. However, when they saw Xu Yong today, they immediately straightened their backs.
After all, their humiliation was nothing compared to Xu Yong. They just mocked Shen Lun a few words at the beginning, and they were able to make a big deal out of a big deal and turn it into a trivial matter.
But Xu Yong was different. Xu Yong was Shen Lun's best friend, and he broke off relations with Shen Lun in front of all the civil and military officials. This is the final word.
Now he's here to apologize? Does he still have the nerve to apologize?
Thinking of this, these courtiers actually stood nearby and refused to leave, obviously watching the excitement.
Xu Yong gritted his teeth, feeling even more embarrassed. Now he can finally understand what Shen Lun felt a few days ago.
But people are already here, no matter how embarrassing it is, just go ahead and do it. So Xu Yong didn't look at anyone. He lowered his head and arrived at the door of the house, then handed over the greeting card.
Unexpectedly, the gatekeeper looked at the greeting card and threw it directly into Xu Yong's arms: "Master Xu, my master said that you two have broken off our friendship. Since we have broken off our friendship, there is no need to have any contact with each other."
There was a chuckle from behind.
Xu Yong's face turned red and he said, "Please tell me that Xu Yong is visiting."
The gatekeeper was unmoved.
Xu Yong thought for a while, took out a piece of gold, and gave it to the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper finally looked a little better, turned around and left.
Half an hour later, Xu Yong's waist and knees were sore from waiting. Finally, the gatekeeper came back. He bowed his hand to Xu Yong and said, "My master said that he will go to Chudi today. From now on, we will be with Xianyang." The city has nothing to do with it anymore. There is no need to mention the grievances between the two of you, just be strangers from now on."
Xu Yong was stunned for a while and asked tentatively: "Does this mean you forgive me?"
The janitor chuckled.
The few courtiers who were watching the excitement said with a smile: "Brother Xu, if I really forgive you, why don't you invite you in and sit down?"
Xu Yong glanced at those people angrily, wishing he could punch them.
But he held back. I'm here to apologize today, and I can't make matters worse.
Xu Yong then said to the gatekeeper: "Brother Shen and I have known each other for many years. We just had some disputes for a while. How about you let me go in and see him and explain things to him face to face?"
The gatekeeper touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
Xu Yong found another piece of gold. After the gatekeeper answered the call, he went in with a smile.
This time, Xu Yong waited for an hour. Not only was his waist and knees weak, but the courtiers who were watching the excitement were also a little tired.
But there was still no movement inside.
When Xu Yongzheng was about to go in and take a look, suddenly three or two people came from a distance and wanted to go in arrogantly.
Xu Yong hurriedly stopped them and said, "Who are you? How can you break into Brother Shen's mansion without permission?"
Those few people looked at Xu Yong and said, "We are the craftsmen of Shangjun Villa. Lord Shen has sold the mansion to us."
Xu Yong was stunned.
At this time, Xu Yong's steward Xu Jia rushed over and said to Xu Yong: "Master, master. Master Shen Lun has left with his family and has arrived at the city gate. Many courtiers are seeing him off. Especially It was the courtier who once had a quarrel with him, and he was even more enthusiastic."
When Xu Yong heard this, there was a buzz in his head. He looked at the house in front of him and felt a little unbelievable: "When did he leave?"
Xu Jia said: "I have found out clearly that Master Shen Lun left the house early in the morning and delayed leaving the city until now because he was waiting for the young master to grow up."
Xu Yong was a little confused: "Shen Lun is not in the house? Then the gatekeeper just now..."
In an instant, Xu Yong figured everything out. The gatekeeper only stayed to watch the door and wait for the craftsmen of Shang Jun's courtyard to take over. How dare he make up lies and defraud him of two ingots of gold? No matter how unlucky he is, he is still a minister. How can this janitor, a servant, be so bold?
But when Xu Yong thought about it again, he understood the reason. They are about to follow Shen Lun to Chu Di, what else is there to be afraid of? What's more, the relationship between himself and Shen Lun has broken down like this. If he takes the opportunity to blackmail something, maybe Shen Lun will appreciate it.
Xu Jia urged from the side: "Master, do we want to catch up? Maybe we still have time to meet Master Shen Lun."
Xu Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What else is there to see? Even if you see it, it will just be humiliated in public."
Xu Jia said in a low voice: "Perhaps Master Shen only feels comfortable when his master is humiliated in public?"
Xu Yong was slightly stunned. In front of all the civil and military officials, he broke off relations with Shen Lun, which indeed caused him great shame and humiliation. Today, he apologized in person, which was equivalent to swallowing up the humiliation.
Retribution comes quickly.
Xu Yong pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "That's all, I'm just going to take a trip. If Xu Subaru, an unfilial son, cannot succeed in the future and lives up to my humiliation today, I will kill him myself."
Xu Yong took Xu Jia and hurried to the city gate. The few courtiers who had been watching the excitement also followed behind with smiles.
…………
Shen Lun sat in a carriage with the young master. This car is extremely tall, extremely spacious, and extremely strong. There were hundreds of battle-experienced soldiers guarding the front, rear, and left sides.
Surrounding these nearly a thousand soldiers were the servants of Gongzi Gao and the family members of Shen Lun. In addition to the family members, there are also a large number of guards...
It can be said that Shen Lun and Gongzi Gao took safety measures to the extreme.
Now Shen Lun is playing chess with Young Master Gao in the carriage.
Gongzi Gao is not very good at chess, and he is weak when playing chess. Fortunately, Shen Lun is willing to be humble and often let go at critical moments, which actually makes Gongzi Gao feel like there is a bright future and a bright future in the village. So he played with gusto.
At the end of the round, Gongzi Gao suddenly noticed that there were many more people outside the carriage.
He said a little worriedly: "Master, who are these idle people? Are they assassins?"
Shen Lun was a little helpless and said: "Young Master Wuyou, we haven't left Xianyang City yet. There will be no assassins. As for the people around us, they are the courtiers who came to see us off."
Young Master Gao looked outside and saw a few familiar faces. He said a little puzzled: "Our masters and disciples have never had any foundation in the court. Why are there so many people coming to see him off today?"
Shen Lun smiled slightly and said: "What these people value is not the face of our master and disciple, but the face of banished immortals."
Young Master Gao suddenly realized: "That's it."
In fact, he worshiped Li Shui as his uncle. Although he was willing to do so, he was still a little uncomfortable deep down in his heart because he had also heard a few of those mocking rumors.
But today, Young Master Gao discovered that just because he was the nephew of the banished immortal, there were so many people coming to please him. His heart began to beat loudly, and he said with some excitement: "Master is really smart. Making friends with the banished immortal is really a wonderful move."
Shen Lun naturally knew the truth. He just said something about banning the immortal, and the courtiers came in droves to apologize and please him. This is a person with great ability and great wisdom.
He looked at the courtiers outside and sighed slightly in his heart, thinking to himself: If you are not a good teacher, the real good thing is to banish an immortal. If I had made friends with the banished immortal as soon as possible, why would I have ended up living in Chu land?
Young Master Gao asked Shen Lun: "Master, the courtiers are seeing you off, should we get out of the driveway and say thank you?"
Shen Lun shook his head and said to Young Master Gao: "You have to remember that you are now the nephew of the banished immortal. You must not lower your status, belittle yourself, or lose the face of the banished immortal."
Young Master Gao nodded excitedly. He thought for a while and suddenly said: "Disciple, I understand. Everyone in the world says that the banished immortal is shameless and disrespectful of etiquette, but so many people are respectful to him. As for Zhao Gao, Wang Li and others, they usually treat others , which is quite polite, but when they were unlucky, no one stood up and spoke."
"It can be seen that in the court, being polite or rude is not important. The key is to have strength. When you have strength, it is okay to act recklessly."
Shen Lun nodded with deep approval: "I have studied tactics all my life, and it was only today that I suddenly realized that tactics are auxiliary, and strength is the foundation of success."
The two masters and apprentices were discussing when they suddenly heard the guard outside saying: "Master, Banished Immortal and General Li Xin are here to see us off."
Upon hearing this, Gongzi Gao and Shen Lun jumped out of the carriage, straightened their clothes, and went to see Li Shui.
Li Shui and Li Xin were standing in an open space from a distance, looking at Shen Lun with smiles.
When Shen Lun came to his side, Li Shui patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I said I wanted to help you vent your anger, have you felt it today?"
Shen Lun looked back and saw dozens of courtiers behind him, sweating profusely as they came to see him off. He couldn't help but burst into tears and said excitedly: "I feel it, I feel it. Banishing the Immortal is such a great kindness. I can't repay you as a low-ranking official. In this life, I can only banish the immortals and follow their lead."
The young master next to him, Gao Ye, bowed and said, "My little nephew only follows my uncle's lead."
Li Shui smiled with satisfaction.
Li Xin suddenly said with a smile beside him: "Huaiguzi and I are close friends, as close as brothers."
The young master was very smart and immediately saluted Li Xin: "My nephew meets my uncle."
Li Xin smiled with satisfaction.
Li Shui was a little helpless: Is it interesting to take advantage of this?
At this time, a person ran over from a distance. As he ran, this person shouted: "Brother Shen. Brother Shen, stay back."
Shen Lun looked back and his face slightly changed.
Li Shui asked: "Who is that person?"
Shen Lun said: "It's Xu Yong."
Li Shui frowned: "What a familiar name."
Li Xin said next to him: "He is the one who broke off relations with Shen Lun a few days ago at the gate of the Yizheng Hall in front of all the civil and military officials."
Li Shui suddenly changed his color and said, "What Xu Yong? He has broken off relations with Shen Lun. Why is he here today? This is obviously an assassin pretending to be a assassin. Catch him quickly."
After hearing this order, the craftsman next to him immediately ran toward Xu Yong like a wolf and a tiger with a big stick in his hand, shouting as he ran: "There are assassins, protect the young master."
Xu Yong was stunned, looked around, and found that these craftsmen were coming towards him. He immediately cursed secretly, turned around and ran away.
Young Master Gao's bodyguard was a little hesitant after hearing the shouts of the craftsmen. They felt that Xu Yong did not look like an assassin. But as soon as Xu Yong escaped, he seemed a little guilty.
So the guards simply swarmed up and tied Xu Yong up...
Xu Yong looked like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, lying on the ground unable to move.
There are more than a dozen colleagues here today, and countless people are here. This man is really embarrassed...
He turned his head hard and buried his face in the soil. He didn't want people to see his true face or know who he was. As for whether he is an assassin or not, he can naturally explain it clearly after everyone here has dispersed and found a secluded place.
Unfortunately, someone shouted: "We caught the wrong person, he is not an assassin, he is Master Xu Yong."
The person who shouted this was clearly the courtiers who followed him and watched the excitement along the way.
Xu Yong cried: Why do you all bully me? ntent
I was a magician in the Qin Dynasty
