Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2290 Du Huaigong's Sorrow
When the wine enters the heart of sorrow, the sorrow is even more sorrowful.

Du Huaigong's drinking ability is not very good, and he had been pretending to be cowardly when he was trying to drink just now, but now he was poked at the sad point, but it was one cup after another, and he couldn't stop at all...

Gao Zhenxing looked unhappy, and said with a sneer, "It seems like you are so lucky, but you want to sigh here and there, and let us live?"

Du Huaigong smiled wryly and said, "I'm lucky? Hehe, well, everyone in the world thinks so."

As a descendant of the Jingzhao Du family, he is a leader in appearance and knowledge, young and promising, and married the daughter of Li Ji, the head of the prime minister and the No. 1 British Duke in the army, as his wife. Everything is solid, and given time, ranking in the court seems to be inevitable.

however……

Du Huaigong was full of bitterness, suffocating, and he was drunk. He squinted his eyes and said: "But who knows how much pressure I bear and how much torture I have suffered?"

Fang Jun was obsessed and remained silent, drinking slowly, but thinking in his heart, seeing this boy revealing his true feelings, it is true that life is difficult and everything is not going well, could it be that the father-in-law's family put too much pressure on him?

He knew Li Yulong, Li Ji's daughter, since childhood. Before Li Yulong married Du Huaigong, she used to play with him all day long, so he knew that the little girl looked weak and delicate, but in fact she was hard-hearted.Also born in the British government, only the heroes of the world can be seen in the eyes, and it is not unusual to have some obsessions of "seeking your husband to become a dragon".

Li Ji seems to be indifferent and doesn't care about anything, but in fact he is proud and arrogant. There are few Chinese and Chinese martial arts in his eyes, and he thinks he is superior to others.

Under such circumstances, the requirements for Du Huaigong's son-in-law must be very high.

And Du Huaigong is just a playboy with no ambitions...

When a person does not have any overwhelming ambitions, but has to face the huge resource support of his family and Yue family, and struggles in the officialdom, the confusion and boredom in his heart are simply indescribable.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

A person who has never dreamed of a crown, but insists on putting the crown on his head, and let that heavy responsibility be imposed on him, that feeling of wanting to hold on but not being able to, wanting to escape but not daring to escape... …

Fang Jun expressed his sympathy.

Everyone has their own unique personality, some are ambitious, some are ambitious, and some are willing to be mediocre and go with the flow.

You can't say who is right and who is wrong.

It is the greatest happiness for a person to choose his favorite way to live; but if he imposes other people's will on others and expects others to live in the way he expected, that is the greatest tragedy.

Obviously, Du Huaigong is currently in such a situation...

He only wants to be a salted fish, eat and drink without worrying about traveling in the mountains and rivers, and have no ambitions to roam freely, but the family does not allow him to be so mediocre, and needs him to grow up to protect the family from wind and rain; the Yue family also does not allow him Such sinking, this is simply "willing to fall"...

Du Huaigong was a little excited, knocked on the table, and said in a low voice with red eyes: "They want me to ascend the imperial court to pay respects to their ministers, and want me to be a wolf and a vassal, but I know how much I am, I can't do it." Come on! Commanding thousands of troops and expanding territories, it was just a dream I had when I was a child, I couldn’t bear it! But now my family is forcing me, Yue’s family is forcing me, and my wife is also forcing me! Have you ever You know? My wife said that if I can't make meritorious deeds and stand out, I won't even be allowed to set foot in the bedroom..."

Speaking of this, he threw the wine cup in his hand violently, and fell to the ground with a "bang", panting: "But even if I have no ambition, I am still a man! Guan Zhongerlang's face is covered I lost everything..."

As he spoke, his grievances turned into tears, and this guy actually started to sob and cry...

Fang Jun: "..."

Gao Zhenxing: "..."

motherfucker!

Gao Zhenxing said angrily: "Can you still be a little promising? A man who stands seven feet tall and stands upright, crying and crying!"

Although Fang Jun looked down on such useless people the most, he still had some sympathy in his heart, and persuaded him: "There is no need to force yourself, just take one step at a time. I heard that the British Duke wants to recruit you into the army a few days ago. Why don't you agree? The army is all subordinates of the British government. When they arrive in that army, they will be taken care of. Wouldn't it be fun to do it?"

It's okay not to mention this, but when he mentioned this matter, Du Huaigong immediately beat his chest and cried loudly, as if his own father had died...

Fang Jun was speechless, isn't this person too useless?
You are not impatient to make meritorious deeds, but your father-in-law has paved the way for you. You just need to go on honestly. When the Eastern Expedition wins, you will be rewarded for your merits. As the son-in-law of the British Duke Li Ji, what can your Majesty do? You have to take a high look, and if you get a meritorious service, it is enough to seal your wife and son.

But this person treats it like a poisonous beast, avoiding it and fearing that it won't catch up...

Not promising.

Gao Zhen said with a sigh of relief: "Hao Erlang's blood is stained on the battlefield, and his body is shrouded in horse leather without changing his face. You are the shame of our generation!"

He is usually very "reckless", and it is the most shameful to see such a spineless appearance.

Du Huaigong was really drunk, and wanted to get rid of all his grievances, but when Gao Zhenxing said this, his temper was aroused, sobbing and crying, he said loudly: "You know what a fart! You only see Going to England has paved the way for me, and it seems that as long as I go to the army, I can get a piece of merit, but you never thought that if I go to the army, I will become a chicken and duck on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered?"

Gao Zhenxing laughed angrily, and scolded: "You are so quiet! If such words are spread, the British Duke will not beat you to death? It is an anecdote in the world, what is the British Duke doing to take your life? What's more? Even if it is true, how could he kill his son-in-law without regard to his own reputation? It's just nonsense!"

Du Huaigong wiped away his tears and retorted: "I am in the army, so I must abide by military discipline. If I make a mistake, I will accept the punishment of military discipline! You also said just now that the British Duke is a member of the army, and his subordinates are all over the country. The military, no matter where it is, is it difficult to accuse me at will? The military law is ruthless, and then I looked at my head. Not only will others not say that the British Duke is cruel and tyrannical, but they will praise him for being just and strict, and for killing relatives..."

Gao Zhenxing: "..."

Fang Jun: "..."

This sounds like pure nonsense, but after careful consideration, it seems reasonable...

But the premise is that Li Ji really wants to kill this son-in-law!

Would Li Ji have that thought?

Fang Jun thinks it's really hard to say...

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Ji enjoyed high honor both before and after his life. Three generations of emperors respected him and trusted him. Tang Suzong even called him one of the top ten famous generals in history together with Li Jing. Only Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty can match his achievements.

Outstanding ability, judging the situation, knowing people and being good at tasks are Li Ji's greatest characteristics. It is precisely because of these characteristics that he can achieve the glory of his life.

What's more important is that this person is extremely strict in running the army and will never indulge his personal feelings in vain.

How can Li Ji not know what kind of character and ability Du Huaigong has?Even if it was his own son-in-law, according to Fang Jun's understanding of him, he would not recruit Du Huaigong into the army, pave the way for his future with his own hands, and wait to receive meritorious service.

If it is true that there is indeed a matter of recruiting Du Huaigong into the army, maybe there is another plan...

But would Li Ji treat his son-in-law like this?

If you don't like it, just kill it and replace it with another one?
It doesn't seem to be Li Ji's style...

Then there may be only one truth left.

Fang Jun secretly sighed, although this Du Huaigong is not an outstanding person, he has a lazy temperament and talent, but he also has some intelligence. He may not be enough to create a future, but he is more than enough to be solid and conservative.

It's just that this is a family matter of the British government, even though the Fang family and the Li family are family friends, they can't meddle in their affairs.

But it's not in his character to sit back and watch Du Huaigong die unexpectedly...

After thinking for a while, he said: "Although joining the army is good, you can easily gain meritorious service, but there are risks in the end. In the battlefield, there is no eye for swords and guns, and no one can tell what will happen. Brother Du, why don't you just go to the Ministry of Officials to ask for an official position and ask for it to be released?" What about the state capital? Serving as an official, benefiting one party, and making some achievements may also make the British government look at you differently."

Du Huaigong kept drinking, crying while drinking, his nose burst into tears, his eyes opened suddenly, he dropped the wine cup, squatted down and hugged Fang Jun's thigh: "Erlang, save me!"
