There is no better son than a father.
Liu Xing seemed to have guessed Liu Quansheng's answer. Before Liu Quansheng could finish his words, he snorted coldly, threw his sleeves away from the window, and went into the house.
The two brothers looked at each other and walked in slowly side by side.
When we reached the atrium on the second floor, the whole room was filled with light smoke, steam was steaming, and the strong smell of medicine irritated the nasal cavity, which made Liu Quansheng, who had not been in this room for more than ten years, frown.
Liu Xing was sitting upright in the hall, and there was another person kneeling in the middle hall. The two brothers who were able to enter the room took a closer look. The person kneeling below was Liu Xing's second son, Liu Ruisheng.
"Okay! Okay! My three good sons are all here today. It's rare for a family to meet in this way!" Liu Xing hunched over with a gloomy face and said with a sneer, "Yesterday we met An old friend in Taihao City was having a private drinking party. When he was enjoying himself, he suddenly uttered a short poem from the market, saying: "The eldest son cultivates his nature and cultivates flowers, the second brother is aggressive and good, and the third brother is slovenly. If you ask, where is this? Two generations "The Imperial Master's Home', haha, what a home for two generations of Imperial Masters, it seems that the decline of my Liu family is inevitable!"
After saying this, Liu Desheng was dripping with cold sweat, and the lofty ambitions he had before entering the door disappeared. He knelt down on the ground like a docile lamb, not daring to raise his head.
Liu Quansheng remained unmoved.
Liu Quansheng, who had once narrowly escaped death in his official career, did not listen to these short-lived parents. He raised his eyebrows, widened his eyes, and said loudly, "In terms of etiquette, a father is kind, a son is filial, a brother is good, a brother is a brother, a husband is righteous, a wife is obedient, Chang Hui, You Shun, Jun Ren, Chen Loyalty, these ten are called human righteousness. My grandfather always flaunted this when he was still alive. This is the foundation and the key to the prosperity of the Liu family in the past. Now the second brother is beating Dongfang and massacres. Zhang Cun hired a murderer to kill his brother, not to mention that it is against the law, but just to say that the harm is not harmful to his wife and children, he has lost three points of the Liu family's face."
Liu Xing hated the internal fighting within the family. Hearing this, he suddenly showed a sullen expression. His wrinkled hands could not help but tremble, but he was speechless.
Liu Quansheng was still unmoved. He paused, picked up a wine pot in the room, and poured a sip of wine into his mouth. However, there was no drop of wine flowing down the pot. He smiled and continued, "In terms of momentum, , He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Since the Jiazi period, the Liu family has weathered many hardships and endured hardships, all because of the support and love of their elders, and the strong support of the heads of more than a hundred villages in the countryside, stingy husbands, and tourists, rather than the protection of one state or one herdsman. Not to mention that today’s families work together to win over powerful families, the actions of my Liu family in recent years are really going against the current.”
Liu Quansheng's double entendre, on the one hand, illustrates the instability of Liu Ruisheng's backing, and on the other hand, clarifies the foundation of the Liu family's century-old prosperity.
Liu Xing didn't understand Liu Quansheng's first meaning for a while. He overturned the teapot on the table, became furious, and suddenly said, "Guizi, did you come to Qingheju today to make your father angry to death?"
The air in the room instantly cooled down, and no matter how warm the earth dragon was, it could not dissolve the knot between the father and son.
Liu Quansheng hesitated for a long time, and finally called out his father. He said in a gentle voice, "Father, I believe that if you lose people's hearts, you will lose the land, the land, and the people. You must make a living before making profits. Throughout the ages, a landless country has never been seen to survive forever. I have never seen a home where no one can stay for a long time. For the Liu family, the people's hearts in Huaxing County are the foundation of my foundation. Father, these are my words. Where will the future of my Liu family go? Please Father decides!”
An unknown gust of wind broke open the small window and gently blew up the black cloth robe Liu Quansheng was wearing, just like the endless anger burning in Liu Xing's chest.
Liu Quansheng held his chest high and his head high, unafraid. He did not say what to do with the Liu family's affairs, nor how to deal with the people in the house. He just slowly took off the "Book of Pleading Against Rebels" and Turn around and leave quickly.
When he saw the "Book of Disciplining Thieves", Liu Xing became furious, slapped the case and shouted, "Treason, wait!"
Liu Quansheng remained unmoved and went his own way.
Liu Xing exerted force, and a force of energy came out of his hand. He slapped the table, and the teapot on the table rose up and hit Liu Quansheng in front of him. It shattered and splashed everywhere. The steaming tea blocked Liu Quansheng's path.
Seeing Liu Quansheng stop, Liu Xing said coldly, "Humph, Quan'er, do you really think my father is blind? My father has watched you grow up little by little. How could you not know what shit you three brothers pooped?" Let’s not talk about where the Liu family will go in the future. Please tell me, according to the temperament of your two brothers, who slaughtered all the people in Zhangjia Village?"
Liu Quansheng turned around and stood still, looking back with firm eyes and said coldly, "It's eldest brother!"
Liu Desheng, who was kneeling on the ground, felt his heart beat loudly, his face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt unsteadily. He exclaimed loudly, "Three, third brother. Don't spit on others."
Facing Liu Quansheng's betrayal, Liu Desheng lost his sense of control and cursed in his heart: This damn nerd is crazy!
"Everyone who achieves great things must be fierce in their methods, outmaneuver others, and good at breaking up, giving up, and leaving!" Liu Quansheng kicked away the residue of the teapot, turned and left, leaving a message in the room, "Because he is the eldest brother, so he is the eldest brother!"
Liu Quansheng's words briefly and clearly explained Liu Desheng's advantages, and finally concluded: Because it was Liu Desheng who massacred Zhangjia Village, with this ruthlessness, Liu Desheng is qualified to be the head of the family.
Inside the building, Liu Xing made no move to stop Liu Quansheng from leaving. The old man slowly picked up the 'Book of Defeating the Thieves' and placed it in the brazier without even looking at it.
The raging fire burned away the fierce sentiments of the people.
Afterwards, Liu Xing walked to the small window and looked at Liu Quansheng's slovenly figure walking away downstairs. He thought about it carefully and felt in his heart: My worry is not about the eldest son, but about the choice and balance of family interests. The choice of the temperament and temperament of the family heir. Oh, I didn't expect that Quan'er, whom I hadn't seen for more than ten years, could explain my double worries in one sentence. There is no better way to know a son than as a father, and to know a father, Quan is the only one who can live! Hey, if it hadn't been for the past, how would it be your two brothers' turn to be the head of the family?
"From now on, Ruisheng Inner Court will sit behind closed doors to reflect on his faults. He is not allowed to leave home without orders. Desheng is in charge of the family affairs. Except for expenses of more than a thousand gold and the appointment and dismissal of important personnel in the clan, there is no need to report to me. As a father, I will enjoy a few years of peace and happiness!"
When he said this, Liu Xing leaned against the two sons, his words were calm, and he looked at the retreating figure with deep meaning.
At this moment, Mr. Liu hopes so much that the straight and slovenly figure in the distance can change his mind and come to him. As long as he reluctantly says, "Dad, I was wrong," Liu Xing will immediately forgive his son. , and then handed over all the power of the family to his precious third son, withdrew from the temple and the world, and stopped caring about the world.
Unfortunately, one wrong move turned father and son into strangers.
...
The two sons of Liu Xing have been fighting secretly for many years, and today, it finally came to an end.
When Liu Xing said this, Liu Desheng clenched his fists, his eyes were shining, and he was filled with joy.
From beginning to end, Liu Ruisheng said nothing and showed no joy or sorrow on his face.
Outside the building, Liu Quansheng walked slowly, sighing in his heart: This time with Qingheju and his party, I helped the eldest brother suppress the second brother. Since the second brother is the distant nephew of the Jiang family in Taihao City, Quzhou, he has lost the qualification to be the heir of the family head this time, which will definitely cause a rift between the Jiang family in Quzhou and the Liu family in Lingyuan. The old Liu family's thigh in Taihao City will never be Even if the line is disconnected. And I indirectly supported my vicious and fickle elder brother, and I became his new thorn in his side. When I sent you a letter to denounce the rebels, I also missed my business operations in Lingyuan County over the years. His Majesty once commented on me that it was "difficult to resolve". Well, things in the world are inherently difficult to resolve, but household affairs are even more difficult to resolve! There is no god greater than the transformation of the Tao, and there is no greater blessing than the absence of disaster. The matter has come to this, and it is useless to think too much!
Liu Quansheng did not bring Liu Yi to see his grandfather, whom he had never met before, and only told him to wait at his uncle's house. Liu Yi felt bored, so he teased the fat racing red rabbit in the yard, playing with each other. What a joy.
The weather is getting colder, the chill is rising, and Liu Yi wants to return home.
Suddenly, Liu Yi saw his father's wine gourd on horseback, and remembered the wonderful scene of drinking wine under the moonlight in the east that day. He laughed in his heart: In the ice and snow, stealing a sip of wine evoked the bright moon, shining on me full of pride, how could it be possible? No!
After taking a sip, Liu Yi was waiting for the alcohol to hit his head and expressed his pride, but he found that the wine gourd was filled with water mixed with ice!
This time, he was even colder!
In the cold, Liu Yi seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand it anymore!
He only remembered the words his father often said: Even if the cold wind blows, never give up in life!
...
Later in the evening, Yang Guan leaned gently in Liu Desheng's arms, watching Liu Quansheng and his son drifting away, and whispered, "Husband, my third brother has a son who is quite wise and has the qualifications to succeed to the throne. We must pay attention to it!" "
Liu Desheng patted Yang Guanxiang on the shoulder, stroked his long hair, and suddenly realized, "Yes! My third brother actually has a son, and his son is so smart."
Then, in Liu Desheng's eyes, a fierce and sharp cold light suddenly shot towards the father and son who were drifting away.
My dear third brother, for the sake of a worry-free journey for my eldest brother, you, my precious son, cannot be kept!
Oh, by the way, you can't stay either.
