Looking at Li Xuan's leaving figure, under the flickering candlelight, Liu Rengui's face showed a look of contemplation.
Although the Tianyin Sect's affairs are caused by scabies, the excessive involvement of the clan is ultimately another hidden danger.
However, the Queen of Heaven is very scheming, and she doesn't know what she is planning through these things. Under the struggle between the two parties, the consequences are unpredictable.
"Ah Weng!" A soft voice suddenly sounded behind Liu Rengui.
Liu Rengui turned around, and Liu Jinyu, who was wearing a turquoise skirt, walked out from behind the bookshelf at some point, looked in the direction where Li Xuan disappeared, and asked consciously: "Aweng, is it really unintentional that he moved next door?"
"Maybe!" Liu Rengui looked at his pretty little girl with a hint of complexity in his eyes: "Yu'er, what do you think of the Prince of Nanchang?"
Liu Rengui knew best that although his granddaughter looked gentle and well-behaved, she was actually gifted. She could read people's hearts between the lines, handle government affairs in a systematic and methodical manner, and be wise and decisive. She was even more sensitive than him in some special matters. Prime Minister.
Apart from being a little unsophisticated in handling, he is definitely qualified even if he is released as a provincial governor.
Liu Rengui felt free to let her handle many things.
After all, he was already in his mid-seventies, his energy was low, and his opponent was definitely difficult to fight against.
Liu Jinyu's small nose twitched unnaturally, and she said thoughtfully: "Although this King of Nanchang looks gentle and elegant, with a sincere expression, he actually has hidden ambitions."
"Haha, my son has seen it thoroughly!" Liu Rengui suddenly laughed, very heartily, and then warned: "Actually, not only him, but also Aweng and I also have ambitions, so we must control and guide them in advance. , this is what you should do as an elder!"
"What Aweng said is true." Liu Jinyu bowed slightly, but her calm face did not reveal what she was really thinking.
"Go and do your work, Aweng has something to talk to your father about!" Liu Rengui waved his hand to Liu Jinyu.
Liu Jinyu bowed slightly, turned around, walked behind the desk, sat down, and began to review the official documents on the desk.
Seeing this scene, Liu Rengui suddenly felt that everything seemed familiar, his face sank slightly, and he turned and left the library.
The guards around the study hall were all brought by Liu Rengui from the Baekje battlefield, and they were absolutely loyal to him. There was no need for outsiders to see the scene before him.
Walking in the back garden, there was no one in the garden. The other guards in the mansion were on guard further away.
The moonlight was clear, Liu Rengui stood by the lotus pond, looking at the slightly floating lotus pods, his eyes thoughtful.
At this time, a burst of footsteps sounded behind him: "Aye, you called me!"
"Yeah!" Liu Rengui nodded, called Liu Yuanlang to come forward, pointed at the lotus pod in front of him and said, "Look, that lotus pod is growing in this clear pond. In a few days, the lotus will unfold and be infinitely beautiful. But one day, the lotus will gradually wither. The more beautiful the lotus is, the faster it will wither, and it will even be broken by someone!"
Liu Yuanlang was stunned for a moment, and his face instantly became solemn: "Aye is talking about Yu'er?".z.br>
Liu Rengui paused, nodded, put his hand on the stone corridor, and said with a gloomy face: "I still remember that Zhu'er made a joke on the first day of the year. Fortunately, Yu'er did not enter the palace, otherwise, I am afraid she would be the next queen. !」
Liu Yuanlang's face suddenly darkened. Zhu'er was his eldest brother's younger son. He was three years younger than his daughter Yu'er, but he had already entered school.
Although what he said in Yuanri was unintentional, it was somewhat taboo, so after Liu Rengui heard it, he severely punished Zhuer to kneel for half a night.
Since then, similar words in the family have completely disappeared.
Today, his father mentioned his old words again and mentioned his daughter Yu'er. Liu Yuanlang immediately understood the meaning of his father's words.
"Father, the Xu family is unlucky and will die soon, which will also affect Yu'er's marriage. She has started to prepare recently..."
Liu Rengui waved his hand lightly, stopped his son's words, and said softly: "The early death of the Xu family is not a bad thing. Think about it, if Yu'er marries into the Xu family, with her temperament and ability, she has to stay in the Xu family. stir
Everything is turned upside down! "
"Aye, that's not the case. Yu'er has a docile temperament and will definitely honor her parents-in-law!" Liu Yuanlang waved his hands repeatedly.
"It's true that she has a gentle temperament, but she is also the most annoying. She has a lot of abilities, and the big family has always had a lot of troubles. I am really worried that after she marries into a wealthy family...either she will take care of the whole family; or she will take care of the whole family; , which turned the whole family upside down!" When Liu Rengui said this, the corner of his mouth twitched unnaturally.
There are examples first!
"I don't want Yu'er to suffer the consequences of marrying into a wealthy family. So, why not choose one or two sages among the Gongsheng students who take the Jinshi examination at the beginning of next year, observe their family backgrounds, and then..."
The Jinshi Department of the Tang Dynasty was opened once a year, and more than ten or twenty people were selected as Jinshi, sometimes even less.
"Shut up, then, what next!" Liu Rengui turned around and scolded without hesitation: "The imperial examination is a major issue in the court, and even the prime minister cannot interfere easily. You...have you chosen a husband for Yu'er? "
"I don't dare, how dare you decide on Yu'er's marriage privately without your permission!" Liu Yuanlang knelt down immediately, his face extremely frightened!
"It's best this way," Liu Rengui's murderous aura subsided in an instant. He looked deeply at his son Liu Yuanlang and said softly, "If I let my father know that you did it without authorization... Even though my father doesn't do things like choosing people, But it’s still very easy to destroy someone.”
"I understand, sir, don't worry!" Liu Yuanlang was prostrate on the ground, unable to see clearly the expression on his face.
"Get up!" Liu Rengui waved his hand, turned to look at the lotus pond on one side, and said softly: "Father, I know what you think. My family does not try to cling to wealthy families, but among the poor noble families, we choose a sage and cultivate it carefully. , can also become a good son-in-law, but you have to think clearly, most of the people who have been Jinshi in our dynasty are older, only a few are in their prime, and there are even fewer people who are not engaged, so those who can be Jinshi at this time , all of them are from aristocratic families, there are no exceptions..."
Liu Rengui showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said in a sharp tone: "There are many exceptions in the official career of exceptions... But these are no big deal. If you wait for your brothers to be successful, it doesn't matter if you lend a hand to your father, but you wait for your brothers to be stupid. , there are many greedy and lax people, if you get involved, you will die, and you don’t have a few years left as a father!”
"Aye!" Liu Yuanlang just stood up and almost knelt down again in panic.
Liu Rengui directly grabbed him with one hand and said coldly: "The political situation in the DPRK is strange now. If you and your brothers can stay at home with peace of mind and have no delusions, it is not a bad idea for Yu'er to choose a child from a poor family. She can live with peace of mind for more than ten years, and then Just like a father, it’s okay to take it step by step!”
"Aye!" Liu Yuanlang immediately looked at his father in great surprise: "Why is it like this, Aye, why is it like this!"
Liu Rengui sighed deeply: "If Yu'er were here, she would not ask this question!"
Liu Yuanlang lowered his head in shame, not knowing how to respond.
"It's normal for you to have something on your mind. As a father, I don't know who you have met. But if you are about the same age as Yu'er and are a tribute student in this year, even if your father does nothing, it is difficult for him to get ahead." Liu Rengui He gave the prophecy without hesitation.
It's not that he hasn't thought about accidents, but if there really was someone with that kind of talent, he would have known about it long ago!
"Aye!" Liu Yuanlang's expression changed slightly. Liu Jinyu was his daughter. As a father, it was natural for Liu Yuanlang to worry about his daughter's marriage.
It's just that the daughter often helps her father with government affairs, so her father must give the nod to her daughter's marriage.
"Father, do you miss the King of Nanchang?" Liu Yuanlang blurted out a sentence without knowing what he was thinking of.
"No!" Liu Rengui shook his head and sighed, "My father is interested in Song Zhiwen."
"Song Zhiwen, the Jinshi of Yihai Branch!" Liu Yuanlang's face was full of astonishment, but then he said with joy in his heart: "Although the Song family has an ordinary family background, his father Song Lingwen is a brave guard general and a bachelor of Dongtai Xiangzheng. Song Zhiwen has just turned nineteen, and his mother died early... No, Aye, Song Zhiwen was engaged two months ago!"
"Yes, my father did like him at first. After he passed the Jinshi examination, he also intended to get married. However, after taking a look, my father
He concluded that the person was unworthy and did not mention the matter at all! Liu Rengui showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
He had indeed met Song Zhiwen in private, but his words and deeds were mostly flirtatious.
"As for the King of Nanchang, he is the only son. The Ouyang family of Prince Peng's house is Taoist and gentle in nature. The King of Nanchang is resourceful and good at making decisions. In the future, he can also be the governor of a state, especially the border state...Bianzhou is the best!"
