Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2877 The future is uncertain

Facing his father's question, Linghu Xiuji opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know how to express it. Thousands of words and deep resentment could only be turned into a long sigh.

Linghu Defen was even more amazed, so he put down the ancient slips in his hand, looked Linghu Xiuji up and down, furrowed his snow-white eyebrows deeply, and asked, "What happened to make him look so dejected?" ?”

Linghu Xiuji rubbed his face and had no choice but to tell what happened in the official office today.

As soon as the words fell, Linghu Defen raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "You bastard! How many times have I been told by my father to keep a distance from those guys in Guanlong, and don't put your heart to your heart and let you be urged like you used to? How can it be ignored?"

Very annoyed.

Linghu Xiuji looked dejected, and said depressedly: "Father doesn't care about family affairs now, he just concentrates on studying behind closed doors. He is in a good mood and energetic. My son sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart. But our family is big after all. I don't know How many descendants of the direct descendants and partial branches want to eat and make a living, how can they all learn from their father to be so idle? The son also has no choice but to watch the clansmen worry about making a living all day, running around but getting nothing, and the family is gradually sink down..."

Linghu Defen was stunned for a moment, his anger suddenly dissipated without a trace.

Ever since he was scratched by Wu Meiniang, his face was full of peach blossoms, and he suddenly woke up. Since then, he has stayed behind closed doors and concentrated on studying knowledge. In a short period of time, he has become more diligent, but he has ignored the wishes of the whole family.

Living in the world, how many people can really ignore world affairs and claim to be noble?In the end, you still have to struggle and sink in the quagmire, fight for power and profit with sophistication, and try your best to survive and live better.

There's nothing wrong with that.

It is not wrong for the son to want to take refuge under the command of Changsun Wuji in order to obtain better benefits for the whole family, to be protected by him and to be protected by him.

However, the fault is that the Guan Long of today is no longer the Guan Long of the past...

Linghu Defen sighed quietly, and said softly: "Being a father failed to make it clear to you. Being a father does not prevent you from competing in the officialdom. After all, our Linghu family has a prosperous family and a deep shadow. Dou can also do something. It's just that Guan Long's hearts have long been scattered, and each family has its own plans. It will no longer be the situation of sincere unity in the past. Even the eldest grandson Wuji, do you think he is really for Guan Long's future? And struggling to deal with it? He is only for the future of his family, and the reason why he is tightly tied to Guan Long is just to use everyone's strength to help him achieve his hope."

Linghu Xiuji would not have listened to these words in the past.

Between people and between families, there is mutual benefit and mutual use. How can there really be any unbreakable alliance?

However, now he is deeply aware that not only can each family cooperate on the surface and stab the knife behind the scenes for the sake of interests, but even when interests conflict, they will throw each other out as a scapegoat without any hesitation.

Just like what my father said, Guanlong's unity is only a layer of skin, and the inside has already fallen apart, a mess...

If you continue to place extravagant hopes on the Guanlong Group, then sooner or later, you will be eaten up and wiped out, leaving no bones left.

However, this awakening came a bit late...

Linghu Defen could naturally see the depression, frustration, frustration, remorse and other emotions revealed by his son, so he comforted him with gentle words: "Don't care about the humiliation you have suffered today, most people in the world are forgetful, and in a few days there will be no more people I mentioned this matter. Even if you mention it, if you can achieve your own strength and improve on the basis of today, others will only lament your strength and forget the humiliation you have suffered. Han Xin still suffered Shame, but when he commanded thousands of troops to encircle and suppress the overlord Dingding Han in the next battle, who would dare to mention the old things? Up to now, the "humiliation under the crotch" not only does not mean half humiliation, but has become A spirit that encourages people to forge ahead, as a father, I should encourage you together."

It doesn't matter if you are humiliated today, the key is whether you can become stronger in the future.

As long as you are strong enough in the future, not only will the humiliation of today not be criticized by others, but it will become a good story, which will be regarded by many people as a model of knowing shame and then being brave, embellishing it and promoting it.

Some people have never suffered humiliation or suffering in their lives, but they have lived in a dull and unexamined way all their lives. Comparing the two, wouldn't it be more meaningful to live a vigorous life?
Linghu Xiuji was slightly excited.

He was so ashamed and indignant that he was humiliated in public by Fang Jun just now in the yamen of the official department, and he was almost ashamed to see others. Now, after listening to his father's enlightenment, his heart suddenly loosened, and his whole body also glowed with a gleam.

After all, after being humiliated by others, knowing the shame and then being brave, my father personally experienced it and has rich experience...

Seeing his son's expression relaxed, Linghu Defen breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Linghu family has a great fortune and prosperous descendants, most of the descendants of the descendants are dudes, and only the eldest son of the descendants is somewhat talented. , naturally rewarded with high hopes.

I'm really afraid that after being humiliated, he will be devastated and give up on himself.

The eldest grandson's family, which was once famous for a while, was not just because the descendants were unworthy and there was no qualified successor, so the eldest grandson Wuji had to take risks repeatedly, trying to accumulate enough meritorious deeds while he was alive so as to be able to nurture his descendants, so he was deeply loved Your Majesty is suspicious and caught in such a dangerous situation?
Linghu Defen is now living in a secluded mansion and writing books, and he feels more and more that he has seen through the dangers of the world. Sometimes such great feats cannot be calculated. This is the so-called "it depends on people to make things happen". It takes some luck to make one's meritorious deeds unrivaled and the family's blessings to last forever.

What's more, "children and grandchildren have their own blessings", the older generation is conscientious and diligent, and the country that has been conquered may be completely defeated by the children and grandchildren overnight, such as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty...

"Many of my children have joined the army. In this Eastern Expedition, all of them joined the army. They must have won a lot of military merits. However, the situation in Guanlong is now in danger. For the core figures of such a family, it is difficult to go further by relying on the merits of the official department. In this case, you might as well keep a low profile and spend some time in the official department. Act as the pawn of Changsun Wuji. If you charge forward for him, he can sell you as soon as he changes hands... After the Eastern Expedition, there will inevitably be a wave of huge changes in the court. At that time, where to go, and then make plans. Late."

Linghu Defen stroked his beard and pointed to his son in a deep voice.

Linghu Xiuji nodded to accept the teaching: "The son will obey his father's order and will no longer be a running dog of the grandson's family."

He understood the meaning of his father's words, and he had already expressed his desire to completely break up with the Guanlong Group, which made him feel sad in his heart.

Once upon a time, the extremely powerful Guanlong Group prospered and destroyed a country, supporting more than a few emperors, but now it has fallen to such a point.

People of my generation grew up listening to the glorious and glorious past of those families, and they were very proud of being born in such a family alliance, which fueled their dandyism.The many inherent advantages make them have more resources among their peers, so they naturally refuse to bend down and bow their heads to endure hardships. Once the Guanlong Group collapses completely, these people will not have the protection of the family behind them, nor will they stand out. How can he compete with the aristocratic families in Shandong and the gentry in Jiangnan with profound heritage?
It is conceivable that the future of the Guanlong nobles must be difficult. Although it is not a dead end, it is not much better.

For a while, the mood that had just improved was once again covered with a layer of haze...

*****
The Ministry of Civil Affairs originated from the pre-Qin "Zhouzhuang", which records that this position is "Land Official Da Situ"; It is an important center, and its status is only under the official department known as "the first department in the world".

As the new year approaches, it is the busiest time of the year for the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Household registration filing and wealth auditing are the most important things one by one, and there must be no negligence in the slightest.Especially in the spring of next year, His Majesty is about to take the imperial conquest, and the audit of the world's money and food is extremely important. The desks of the doctors and principals of various ministries are piled up with various account books and files like hills, and the "crackling" of abacus beads is in one piece.

In the midst of the bustle and bustle, a piece of news came from the official office not far away, which made the huge civil department instantly quiet.

Everyone subconsciously stopped what they were doing, and raised their heads in disbelief...
