Shendou Continent

Chapter 143 Commenting on the government
Hu Wenyong asked the magistrate for leave, and invited Lin You to have a banquet at home, planning to accompany Lin You around Shaozhou next time.

In Hu's house, Lin You met Mrs. Hu. They were in Huaizhou at the beginning, and they each had their own interests. Lin You also knew Hu Wenyong's sweetheart.When we met for the first time, Mrs. Hu really looked like a lady, and she was a good match with Wen Yong.There is also a cute Lin'er next to him.

"Young master, this is my wife Fan and Gouzi."

"Don't come here to be so polite in the officialdom. My wife's full name is Fan Siwei?" Lin You interrupted Hu Wenyong's introduction, and said directly.

"Ah? How did the young master know?" Fan Siwei was slightly surprised when he heard Lin You's words.

"Brother Wen Yong spent a period of time with our brothers in Huaizhou. We were all witnesses when he was teasing Hongyan."

"Oh, so that's the case." Fan Si glanced at Hu Wenyong slightly, but smiled.

"You can be regarded as lovers who finally got married, congratulations!" Lin You looked at the two in front of him, and the more he looked at him, the more seductive he looked, "Here, baby, I will give you this sword. It will be Uncle Lin's greeting gift." , Lin You took out the Ziqing sword from the spirit bag and handed it to the child who was only a few years old.

"Young master, you can't do this. Your Ziqing sword is a keepsake given to you by your master when you were apprenticed to your master. It is very meaningful." Hu Wenyong obviously knew the history of this sword, and he took the sword again and prepared to hand it over as he spoke. Return it to Lin You.

"I don't have anything, only this sword can be used. I have a life-long friendship with you. It is worth giving the sword to your family Lin'er. I hope you don't want to refuse." After Lin You said, he pushed Hu Wenyong away. The sword handed over.

"Since the young master has said so, I will thank the young master on behalf of the dog."

"Thank you, Uncle Lin." The child also said childishly.

After not seeing each other for many years, Lin You and Hu Wenyong have endless words to talk about.But what surprised Lin You the most was Fan Siwei's identity.It turned out that she was the great-granddaughter of Fan Zhongting. Fan Zhongting was the cultural emperor teacher of Emperor Yongli, and he was also the backbone of the opposition to Emperor Changhua's accession to the throne.However, it can be imagined afterwards that Fan Zhongting was thrown into the sky prison, and soon died suddenly. All three sons were exiled and died in foreign countries.Only the young eldest grandson of the Fan family survived. The relatives and friends of the family were grateful for Fan's loyalty and often helped him. That Fan's grandson also endured a lot of suffering in the world before he grew up.Because of his family's taint, it is impossible to become an official. He has several generations of scholarly families from the Fan family, and he is not expected to be a fighter, so he was forced to do business and do some small business, which is barely enough to make ends meet.However, although the Fan family's children are down and out, everyone still has a strong character, so this Fan Siwei's tutor is not bad at all.

Lin You, who was drinking happily just now, heard about his wife's life experience, and the wine suddenly became stale.Looking at Fan Siwei again, tears were already rolling in his eyes. Obviously, their Fan family had endured too much, and the culprit of all this was naturally that thief in Changhua.But if her great-grandfather hadn't stood up for his family, Fan's family would not have ended up like this. There were quite a few cronies under Emperor Yongli's back then who turned and rebelled, and even more remained silent and pretended to be dead.

Thinking of this, Lin You slowly stood up, raised his glass with both hands, and bowed deeply to Fan Siwei.Seeing this, Hu Wenyong and his wife naturally hurriedly stopped them.

Lin You pushed Wen Yong's hand away, and said emotionally, "This wine is for my grandfather and uncle, and to you, Fan's loyalty and loyalty! I've done it." After finishing speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that they couldn't stop Hu Wenyong and Fan Shi, they simply filled up the wine and paid back to Lin You.

At the beginning of this meal, it was the feeling of reunion after a long absence, and later it was the feeling of the same fate at the end of the world. The ancestors had already closely linked their fate together.

After a long time, everyone's mood gradually calmed down.Slowly, the topic of everyone also turned to the court.When Hu Wenyong talked about the Changhua Dynasty, he commented that "the government is incompetent and people's minds have changed", Lin You's eyes lit up, staring at Hu Wenyong, and only uttered three words: "Tell me!"

Then, Hu Wenyong retreated to the left and right, and introduced all the chaos since Emperor Changhua ascended the throne: "First of all, foreign wars and laymen, southwest against Guangchu, and south against Nanling. The traitor, today, the old people of Emperor Yongli have been purged on a large scale, and many speculators have been used. These people hold power, and they have no benefit except flattery and harm to Zhongliang. Well, the tax burden is rising every year, and Qiantang Province is still doing well. In some other places, when minor natural disasters occur, the people are destitute and the number of refugees surges. This is rare in the history of the Ouyue Empire. The fourth is that the prince has no way... ..." Hu Wenyong commented on the government, complained about the current disadvantages, and was impassioned. The more he talked, the more he spoke, and the louder he spoke.Fortunately, they are all on their own, otherwise if some words spread, I'm afraid it will cause trouble.

But these words made Lin You's blood boil. He himself was at odds with Changhua father and son. In Quzhou, he saw the majestic Ouyue prince's deeds. Naturally, he hated him even more. Although the people suffered, but Changhua Father and son are unpopular, maybe his uncle still has hope.

Then, Hu Wenyong and Lin You talked about some forces in the next court.He mentioned a few of his fellow scholars, like Xu Jingbo, the grandson of Xu Wending, who was the first teacher of King Huai when he was young, and a native of Shaozhou, who secretly supported King Huai, and is currently in charge of the Ministry of Rites.He also mentioned several people who turned to King Huai, like Jia Yuheng, the former magistrate of Huaizhou, Wu Zhongyan, Chen Xiaolei and others, all of whom were ministers of the court.

Listening to Lin Yiyi, he always believed that relying purely on force would not last long, and that the combination of culture, education and iron fist martial arts was the real kingly way.Therefore, although he was a fighter, he was just like his uncle, who valued scholars and literati from the beginning.If possible in the future, he will still rely on their joint efforts.

Today, Hu Wenyong's introduction is very informative and shocking.It seems that the situation has really become favorable, but he obviously can't do it alone, his uncle is already planning, and he has to plan, whether it's for revenge or rebuilding the Qintai, a team is still needed.Of course, his strength still needs to be improved, and if he does not have a big pursuit of cultivation, it is possible to dominate a domain.But he has a special background, he has the hard work of a saint in his blood, he can't let himself fall, his life is destined to be extraordinary, and he has to keep working hard.

Although he drank a lot of wine, his mind has never been so clear, his eyes have become more determined, his chest has valleys and valleys, and he has the world in his heart. He has a mission and has more ideals.

Before he knew it, he grabbed the wine glass again and drank it decisively...
