Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 34 Not Soft Leg Shrimp

When Gu Shen heard his father's words, he immediately raised his head nervously. Could it be that his father meant that he didn't plan to let his son take the road of becoming an official?
The unwillingness and resentment in his heart were stimulated again at this moment, and Gu Shen clenched his fists under his sleeves, even biting the back of his teeth tightly; he couldn't help thinking, if the person kneeling here today The person is the eldest brother, and the grandson who made a mistake is Gu Yanchao. Would his good father still say such a thing?

Seeing the repressed anger on the second son's face, Gu Liang was slightly stunned, because in his impression, his son has always regarded fame as dirt, and what he likes most is walking around the streets with those friends, sleeping in flowers and willows, Because of his virtue, Gu Liang has dealt with him a lot these years.

But he didn't expect that he himself was an incomprehensible person, but he was looking forward to his son's success. It seemed that in his second son's heart, he didn't care as much about his desire for power as he usually showed.Over the years, he didn't notice that his son was such an ambitious person.

After all, after being in the officialdom for a long time, Gu Liang was surprised to see all kinds of demons dancing wildly, but he quickly restrained his expression, looked at his second son kneeling in front of him with a calm voice, and said, "I know you feel sorry for Yan Xuan. It has been really hard to study hard in the cold window for the past few years, but it is precisely because he only knows how to study and has no experience in the world, so his character has been raised to be so indecisive; if he was just born in an ordinary family, he would be so gentle. It is indeed a good thing; but as everyone knows, the way to be an official is not that simple, not to mention that our current emperor is not an easy master to serve. I don't know how long I can protect you. One day I will grow old and die, and the entire Gu family will still need your support. If you want the Gu family to continue to be honored and favored in the capital, you must be decisive and decisive. Yan Xuan can't do this a little."

Having said that, Gu Liang sighed and leaned back on the chair behind him, exhaustion appeared on his aged face, "But fortunately, there is still time to shape this child's character, so let him not It’s for his own good to be in a hurry to obtain fame, but to let him go out to practice first.”

Gu Shen raised his head and looked at Gu Liang, looking at his father who he respected the most and also kept the distance from him since he was a child, his eyes were piercing, "What does father mean to let Yan Xuan leave the capital?"

"That's right, my Gu family's ancestral home is in Changzhou. Although the Gu family's foundation in the capital has grown deep over the years, there are still other relatives in Changzhou; I want Yan Xuan to live in Changzhou for two years to sharpen and train him. Will, let him come back in two years, when he will bring us proud results."

Looking at the faint sense of pride on his father's face, Gu Shen only felt it was extremely dazzling. For the first time, he couldn't control his temper in front of his father, and sneered, "In my father's eyes, only Big Brother and Yan Chao are your pride. As long as you have them, why do you need us to add luster to the Gu family. "

Words filled with complaints immediately spread in the study, causing Gu Liang, who was sitting on the chair, to look at his son kneeling on the ground again in surprise.

Gu Jin was also surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Second brother, what do you mean by that? My father also proposed to let him go back to Changzhou for the sake of Yan Xuan. This is not to harm him, but for the long-term consideration; Both Yan Xuan and Yan Chao are father's grandsons, he always treats them equally, so how could he love Yan Chao alone?"

"Equal treatment? Big brother, aren't you afraid of sticking your tongue when you say such hypocritical words?" Gu Shen looked at his elder brother who always liked to pretend to be a big brother in front of him with faint red eyes. My true emotions, "If it really treats people equally, why did my father always like to hug Yanchao and never hug Yanxuan? If he treats everyone equally, why did his father invite a master to teach Yanchao martial arts, but he didn't like Yanxuan?" Cultivate it? Do you know what people outside say about our father and son? There is an incompetent father, and the son born is naturally stupid; brother, do you know how I feel when I hear such words? I admit that I am I am inferior to elder brother in every aspect, I am the laughing stock of the Gu family, but what does this have to do with my son? Why does he bear these sour words at such a young age?"

Gu Jin asked himself that he has always taken good care of his younger brother. Even when he ran into ridiculous things, he tried his best to cover up and help; In return, but also got a resentment.

This made Gu Jin freeze on the spot on the spot, looking helplessly at his second brother who was accusing him.

Gu Liang squinted his eyes and looked at his second son from the beginning to the end, especially when he heard him questioning his eldest son in a complaining tone, his hand on the chair handle immediately tightened; why didn't he notice it before? He realizes that his second son has long been dissatisfied with them, but has always naively thought that the second son likes to have fun and is not a person with great ambitions.

Now it seems that those cognitions in the past have all become jokes and lies. In fact, his second son is very ambitious, and even his ambition is much bigger than he imagined.

Looking at the eldest son who was asked in a daze, Gu Liang faintly saw anger, "Shen, is this how you talk to your elder brother?"

Hearing his father's angry voice, Gu Shen realized that he had lost his mind just now and questioned his elder brother in front of his father; with his father's sophistication and his elder brother's intelligence, would he pass these clues? Perceived the intentions he has been holding back all these years?

What would happen to him if they discovered his secret?
The panic rolled up in his heart made Gu Shen quickly bow his head and admit his mistake, showing the same cringe as in the past, "Father, it's my son who made a slip of the tongue, he shouldn't have spoken to elder brother like this."

Looking at the second son who put away his hostility in an instant, Gu Liang actually smelled danger from this son, and his slightly squinted eyes were filled with imperceptible vigilance and sternness, "I have never I don't know, it turns out that you have so much resentment towards your elder brother and me in your heart; do you feel that you are unfair? Do you think that all of us have treated you badly?"

"Son dare not!"

"Don't dare? Hmph! I think you are very brave!" Gu Liang got up angrily, stood up from the chair, walked around the desk, and stood in front of Gu Shen, "I thought it was because Jiang Qin was narrow-minded. I just had a deep grudge against your elder brother and sister-in-law. Now it seems that Jiang Qin's current appearance has something to do with you; if you didn't resent us in your heart, how could Jiang Qin dare to attack Jiaojiao again and again? That poisonous No matter how vicious the woman is, she is still just a woman, if she has no one to back her up, would she dare to do these ridiculous things again and again?"

Gu Shen was terrified, he couldn't believe that he just complained a few words, and his father saw through his thoughts at a glance, and exposed the dissatisfaction he had accumulated in his heart all these years on the spot.

Looking at his angry father, Gu Shen didn't dare to yell any more, he quickly turned his head and asked for help from his elder brother: "Brother, I was also obsessed with ghosts just now and that's why I said those words that I didn't care about, please believe me, I never dare I hate you big brother; Dad, don’t you know who your son is? I know that I am mediocre and that I am not good enough, so I have high hopes for Yanxuan. I also suddenly heard you say that you want to send Yanxuan back to Changzhou , That's why I lost my mind and said those inconsequential words, and please forgive my son's recklessness, father, and my son will never dare again in the future."

Gu Liang has been in the officialdom for many years, and has experienced the changes in the East Palace. Over the years, none of his classmates and friends who have been officials with him are as good as he is. It can be seen from this that Gu Liang's ability is absolutely extraordinary. Qiji; years of career in the officialdom have made his eyes sharpened, and he can almost see through the people who live around him, whether they are his colleagues in officials or his heirs, what kind of people they are.

In the past, he always thought that his second son was a mud that could not support the wall, but tonight, he felt that his judgment over the years had been wrong; what kind of person this second son is, I am afraid that after today , he can make a new judgment.

Looking at the second brother who was anxious to explain, Gu Jin couldn't bear it in his heart. After all, he was the younger brother who took care of him since he was a child. The last thing he wanted to see was the slightest grievance and sadness for his younger brother.

Therefore, Gu Jin barely thought about it, stepped forward to help Gu Shen up from the ground, and then pleaded with his father: "Father, Ah Shen probably didn't mean to offend me, just like he said, he was just too worried Yanxuan, this is a shameless statement, please calm down your anger, Daddy, and don't scare Ah Shen."

Hearing Gu Jin's pleading for himself, the resentment in Gu Shen's heart deepened, but he didn't dare to show it on his face; he knew very well that in his father's eyes, he was not as good as his elder brother, since this person is willing to go to the good people to save him , then he will give him this chance.

Gu Liang looked at the eldest son who helped the second son up, and saw that although the second son's face was full of regret and respect, but the corners of his eyes and the brows showed disdain and viciousness. Looking at such a second son, Gu Liang's heart already There is a bottom; at the same time, I can't help but sneer in my heart.

He never thought about it. He raised his son for more than thirty years. He thought it was a soft-legged shrimp, but he didn't expect it to be a jackal hiding in the dark. Tonight, he really opened his eyes and gained a lot.

"Okay, for the sake of your elder brother's pleading, I will forgive you this time, and next time you are not allowed to say such indiscriminate words to your elder brother."

Gu Shen hurriedly replied: "Yes, my son has remembered it, and I will never dare again in the future."

Looking at the second son who showed respect once again, Gu Liang clenched his hands behind his back and continued: "You really don't want to send Yan Xuan away?"

"No! My son listens to his father's arrangements. My son knows that you did this for the good of Yan Xuan. I didn't understand it just now, so I misunderstood my father and elder brother."

After saying that, Gu Shen saluted Gu Jin again, full of guilt: "Brother, please don't see me like me and get angry with me."

Gu Jin has always loved and pampered Gu Shen, so how could he be really angry with him.

"Ah Shen, elder brother is not angry, as long as you can understand father's painstaking efforts, that's fine."

In the study room, the tense atmosphere just now was quickly replaced by the scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other again. Looking at this scene, Gu Liang stroked his beard thoughtfully, and his examining eyes silently fell on Gu Liang. Shen's body.

His son is tricky...
