Standing in front of Zhao Yueming, who had just come out of the palace, he was obviously in a good mood at the moment, and his face was much rosy.
He was so proud of himself that he had endured for many years and achieved such results in one go. Especially after this incident, no one could stop Jian Tiansi from returning to his former glory, so he couldn't help but be unhappy.
"You haven't gone back so late. Are you waiting for me?"
Seeing the person standing in front of him, Zhao Yueming knew exactly what he was doing.
Zhang Yuhang said calmly: "Sir, is this the deal you made behind your back?"
"Yes, the right prime minister is involved too much. We can't drag him into the water together. I have told you about this a long time ago. What are you still struggling with now?"
Zhao Yueming's expression did not change at all, but he could still feel a little impatient from his tone.
"What I want to know is, what have you been insisting on? Is it that you are talking about rebuilding the majesty of the Zhou Dynasty and reviving the Chao Gang, or is it simply restoring the former glory of Supervisor Tiansi? Please give me a clear explanation on this matter. Answer."
Zhang Yuhang's tone was sincere. He needed to know what he should do next. This answer was crucial.
"I'm very surprised that you asked such a question, because I don't have the answer." Zhao Yueming looked at the chopping board on the desk and said in a low voice: "I admire you very much. You have had such an experience. After knowing this, It's because after you redressed the grievances of the people in the southern border, you were happy to do so even if you knew you were being used by me.
Put yourself in your shoes, if I were you, I probably wouldn't do this. Even after knowing this, I wouldn't think about anything else. With your financial resources, as long as you are willing to spend money, find some People can deal with all those people secretly.
You are the son of Marquis Yongchang, and even if you have to pay a price afterwards, after all, everything happened for a reason, and with Marquis Yongchang as your guarantee, at worst, you can be exiled to another place and still be a rich man safely.
Even I might not consider the consequences and let myself be happy first, but you didn't..."
Zhang Yuhang just stood upright opposite him, his expression did not waver at all, and he opened his lips lightly and said: "I have thought about it too, but only after experiencing this kind of pain can I know better how to make life worse than death, and I will be more... Cherish everything I have now.”
Zhao Yueming sighed. This was not the answer he wanted to hear, but he continued: "Maybe you are right, but sometimes, we must know what we are doing and what we need. As for the means and even the purpose, it has nothing to do with it. It will all become nothing compared to it.”
After saying this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he said: "I heard Master Nie say that you believe in the world of great unity spoken by the so-called Confucian saints, and believe that it can be realized, right?" '
Zhang Yuhang said: "Yes, perhaps only those who have experienced true despair can better understand the meaning of that world, or the desire for happiness.
I may no longer be worthy of talking about happiness, but I still want to take a look and truly understand what that kind of world feels like. "
"Even if it costs you a price that you can't bear?"
Zhang Yuhang smiled and said: "Sir, I am equivalent to a person who has died once. There is no price that I cannot bear. As for that kind of world, it is not so much what I yearn for, but it is the one I weave for myself. A fantasy world."
After saying this, Zhang Yuhang bowed to Zhao Yueming and left. All that needed to be said had been said.
You already know what you need to know, and if you continue to talk about it, it will only create unnecessary barriers between them.
At this stage, he was not qualified to leave Zhao Yueming's protection.
However, the answer was already known to both of them.
Seeing Zhang Yuhang leave, Zhao Yueming just sighed deeply in his heart.
This young man is a good prospect, but his character has been basically shaped after these years of experience, which sometimes makes him a little troubled.
If he was just an ordinary person, he could of course be manipulated at will. His status as the concubine or son-in-law of the prince's family would not make him afraid, but this man invented strong liquor.
The influence of spirits has only recently begun to become prominent. King Kang is personally in charge, and His Majesty is the biggest beneficiary. Coupled with the participation of Mr. Xie, Zhang Yuhang has developed a unique network of relationships.
Even he didn't dare to take it lightly.
And now this person is still used by himself. Although he has his own ideas, he never goes against himself and has expressed his loyalty to himself many times.
But with the loyalty of his own thoughts, he sometimes feels really awkward when using it.
Two days later.
Tomorrow will be the time to interrogate the officials involved in the case in the southern border, but today, Xingyonghou Mansion welcomed a new guest.
Early in the morning, a carriage loaded with goods, escorted by four sturdy men, slowly stopped at the gate of Xingyong Houfu.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a graceful woman came down from the carriage mountain with a little boy about eleven or twelve years old.
The little boy is already about 1.4 meters tall. He is wearing Jiangnan silk grosgrain. He is very energetic and has an extraordinary temperament. At first glance, he looks like a kid from a rich family.
The woman was probably in her early thirties, and her face was very delicate. However, when she looked at the majestic palace, her eyes were full of contradictions and unconfidence.
"Mom, is this the Xingyong Hou Mansion that father said? Can I really become the master of this place in the future?"
The little boy jumped out of the carriage and looked at everything in the Hou Mansion carefully, as if he was inspecting his own territory, with unstoppable longing in his eyes.
When the woman heard this, she hurriedly grabbed the little boy and warned, "Huairen, why did I tell you? You can't say these words casually after entering the house. You have to behave well in front of the old lady. The details will wait for your father." You’ll decide after you come here, don’t make any mistakes, do you understand?”
Liu Huairen nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, isn't it just to please the elders? I am an expert on your son, haven't you seen how happy my father and grandmother are when they are coaxed by me?"
Seeing this, Xue Fang just reached out and rubbed her son's hair without saying anything more.
At this moment, an old man stepped out of the carriage beside him. Hearing this, he also walked over with a smile and said, "You don't have to be so deliberate. Huairen is now the most suitable person for our Liu family to inherit the title of Marquis Xingyong." Even if Mr. Liu Wang is not happy about this matter, it is still destined, so you don’t need to worry too much."
