Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. On the one hand, it is the national justice. I will devote my life to the development of the Tang Dynasty. I will fight my whole life to make the Tang Dynasty an unprecedentedly powerful dynasty. Falling into the tragic situation of all dynasties and struggling hard.
On the other side are his almost paralyzed father and mother who are tired of trying to make him stand out. How to choose is a desperate problem.
When the Langya Xu family increased the amount of funding to 200,000 yuan, everything seemed to have the answer.
Moreover, the other party did not ask Wang Xi to do anything, but just wanted to make a good relationship with them and restore the relationship between the two families.
But although Wang Xi is a stupid young man now, he is not a stupid young man. He knows very well why the Langya Xu family came to his door.
So if he accepts the other party's funding and marries the other party's daughter, will he still be His Highness's student, or the person who is determined to follow His Highness and fight for his whole life to realize His Highness's ideals?
The shining ideal seemed to be covered with a stain.
Wang Xi still made a decision. He decisively rejected Xu's people. Then he also made his own decision. He asked for leave from his superior. He wanted to go back to the countryside and convince his parents. He sold his family's property and came to Chang'an to buy a small courtyard.
His monthly money is enough to support his family, and he believes in his own strength and believes that he can earn more monthly money in the future, which is enough for his family to live a good life!
Moreover, Wang Xi is not prepared to get married too early. He wants to respond to His Highness's call. Marrying too early is not good for his health, especially for his future wife. He has decided that after he is crowned, his wife will be at least sixteen years old. Marry after the age of 30.
Therefore, he refused Xu's kindness. Although the other party did not ask him to do anything illegal or ask him to do anything against his conscience, he could not get over the hurdle in his heart.
It can be said that everything he has is given by His Highness, and Wang Xi can also see clearly that His Highness has been fighting against the powerful families from the beginning. Although the struggle seems to have been much less in the past two years, he is still fighting against the powerful families. Make a struggle.
Wang Xi couldn't tolerate himself eating His Highness's food and reading His Highness's books, but eventually fell into the arms of a powerful family.
Even if he could choose to be like Zheng Guogong and Wei Zheng, even if he married his daughter, he could still serve the country and the people with integrity.
But Wang Xi felt that he couldn't do it, because he thought he was not a saint. He felt that that would be unfair to the Langya Xu family. He couldn't eat and drink for others, but in the end he would attack them.
He, Wang Xi, can't do that, so he would rather not take it! In this way, he can have a clear conscience and treat every family fairly and justly. As long as they break the law, he, Wang Xi, can face them calmly!
I don’t believe I can avoid this impact, so I’d rather not take it! Does not participate!
After asking for leave, Wang Xi did not delay, but rushed home as soon as possible. He did not have money to buy horses, so he tried his best to save all the money. But now Datang is rich, and near Chang'an Several major official roads have been built into cement roads.
Although the road to their home is still a dirt road, these dirt roads have also been paved and smoothed by the villages and some merchants along the way, making them much easier to walk than before.
Moreover, with the economic development of the Tang Dynasty, there were many caravans coming and going from the surrounding towns. Wang Xi soon met an enthusiastic caravan and got on his carriage for free.
Wang Xi rushed home for two days, but when he arrived home happily, he got bad news as soon as he entered the village. When his father went out to sell things, he had a conflict with a gangster and had one of his legs broken. He might have collapsed on the bed.
Wang Xi was stunned when he got the news. He rushed home as soon as possible. When he returned home, he could see a lot of trauma on his father's body. A splint had been tied to his leg and he was still sleeping. .
The mother was secretly wiping away tears. Seeing Wang Xi coming back, the helpless people in the family seemed to have a backbone. Next to them, there was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties and was wearing brocade clothes. young people, and a few strange men.
"Mother, what is this?" Wang Xi asked with an ugly expression.
"This is your Uncle Xu Shi. If he hadn't come all the way to tell your father about Hehe's marriage, and he just happened to catch up with it and drive away those ruffians, you Aye, he..." said At this point my mother started crying again.
Wang Xi glanced at the middle-aged man, took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and bowed to him seriously and bowed. "Junior Wang Xi, thank you Uncle Shi for the rescue."
"Hey, dear nephew, I wish I could have come earlier. I never expected to encounter such a disaster. But don't worry, dear nephew, I have sent people to Chang'an to invite some famous doctors to treat my brother. Don't worry, brother Shi seems to be seriously injured, but not life-threatening. I've already called the best doctor in the county to come and have a look." The middle-aged man said seriously.
"Thank you, Uncle Shi." Wang Xi thanked him again. He looked at his father lying on the fire bed, and then at Mrs. Xu next to him. A trace of bitterness flashed through Wang Xi's heart.
Just as he was about to say something, another burst of noise suddenly came from outside the door.
Then, several men in uniforms of the security forces walked in. After they entered the house and saw the situation inside, they asked directly: "Who is Wang Xi, Wang Langjun?"
"It's me. Are these security forces and military guards responsible for my father's injury? Have you caught the perpetrator?" Wang Xi hurriedly said. The reason why he called the other party Wuwei was because Datang was responsible for it before. Those who maintain peace and order are called Wuhou.
After the reorganization of the Ministry of Public Security, members of the Ministry of Public Security were the Public Security Army, also known as the Public Security Wuhou Wei, or Wuwei for short.
"The patients here need to rest. Why don't we go outside the room and ask a few of them to come out as well." The captain of the Military Guard who took the lead said calmly.
Naturally, it made no sense for everyone, so they all walked out of the room and came outside the courtyard.
"Dare I ask, are you Xu Yin, the head of the Donghai Fang clan of the Xu clan in Langya?" Outside the courtyard, the leader of the Wuwei School Lieutenant asked again.
At this time, Wang Xicai discovered that there were quite a few Wuhouwei who came for security, there were twenty of them in total, and most of them stayed outside and waited.
"It's me." Xu Yin nodded and admitted with a smile.
"Take it!" The captain who took the lead waved his hand and said without saying a word.
Following the captain's words, several security forces behind him rushed out quickly, and without saying a word, they directly cooperated with other security forces to capture Xu Yin and all the housekeepers, servants, and nine people he brought with him.
