Chapter 1726 An unexpected relief(2/2)
Xie Guangde immediately opened the letter and started reading it. After reading it, he was surprised: "How can you abandon your official position, your family, your relatives, and travel to remote areas?"
Xie Fu looked like he was hiding something, and Xie Guangde said in a deep voice: "What happened, don't hide it."
Xie Fu then sighed and said: "In this battle for the throne, the kingdom has changed hands, and my cousin is on the wrong team..." This kingdom has changed hands, and liquidating old ministers has been a common practice in all dynasties.
Seeing Xie Fu stop, Xie Guangde couldn't wait to ask: "What next?"
"Actually, my cousin is in exile. In order not to worry you, I wrote to tell you that he is going on a trip."
Xie Guangde said: "Fu'er, you are a second-rank official, you have to help your cousin."
Xie Fu sighed and said: "Grandpa, it is my best ability to save my cousin from death this time. To be honest, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, I will not be able to protect myself."
"Ah, this woman is so cruel!"
Xie Fu smiled bitterly: "If you can't win over Prince Qi without ruthlessness, how can you make an exception and become the queen! If she hadn't been fledgling and fearful of my power, she would have killed all my Xie family members long ago!"
Xie Guangde was shocked and said: "Fu'er, either... or..."
"Grandpa, what else?"
"Fu'er, if that's the case, why don't you just follow your queen, so as to save the whole family?"
Xie Fu was stunned: "How to follow the law?"
"Anyway, now she is the king and you are the minister. If she wants you to be her confidant, you should be her confidant. If she wants you to be her man, you should be her man. It is only natural for a minister to obey the king's orders."
Fu Xie was surprised that his grandfather, who always paid attention to moral integrity, would say these words: "Grandpa, you actually let me ignore the instructions of my ancestors and do something that damages the reputation of the Xie family."
Why did Xie Guangde reprimand him in turn: "Why are you so pedantic? When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Since you have become an official, you need to know how to adapt. When encountering waves, you need to know how to adapt. You can trim your sails when encountering waves and push your oars with the current. Only in this way can you last long in the officialdom. This person will die."
He is gone, his family is gone, and he is saddled with a family that has committed crimes and will be in disgrace for thousands of years. How can he have any reputation?"
Xie Fu thought to himself that it seemed that he no longer cared about moral integrity when it came to life and death.
Seeing that Fu Xie was silent, Xie Guangde continued to persuade: "Besides, you are not alone now, but you have a wife and children. Their fate is connected with you. How can you let He Qing and Xianting still have children with you?
Let's go die together. Although you uphold the so-called morality, you have committed unkindness, unrighteousness and unwiseness. Even the knowledgeable ancestors will scold you for being stubborn and ignorant."
For a moment, Xie Fu didn't recognize the grandpa in front of him. In terms of moral integrity, grandpa never gave in.
Xie Guangde sighed: "Don't look at me, grandpa is usually pedantic, but he is a good example in front of you two brothers. I am afraid that you two are still young and get lost halfway. In fact, what is the world like? Grandpa's heart is like a mirror, and he stands in the world.
No one can be completely himself if he has to move with the times and look up to the world."
Xie Fu said: "Grandpa, I always thought you were an old man who has never changed." Although this was rude, it was also kind.
Xie Guangde glared at him: "Oh what, how do you say it?"
"say what?"
"You obey the Queen."
Xie Fu smiled bitterly: "She is the queen, ten thousand people want to be her confidants, and ten thousand people want to be her men, why should it be my turn."
"It's not your turn, so you have to fight for it."
"My grandson is not that capable."
"I believe you have this ability, as long as you work hard."
"Grandpa, you look down upon your grandson."
Xie Guangde was angry: "I told you not to mess with women before, but you insisted on messing with women. Now I need you to use your expertise in this area, but you backed down. Are you going to piss me off?"
Xie Fu could only respond perfunctorily: "My grandson, just work hard."
Xie Guangde completely saw Xie Fu's perfunctory attitude: "This is a major matter that affects your family and life. You must be determined to die if you don't succeed. You must not deal with it carelessly. I think back then, your grandma was born in a noble family, and I, the Xie family in Yangzhou,
The family fell into disgrace, and I couldn’t even rank among the competitors. In the end, I didn’t stand out and win your grandma’s heart.”
Seeing his grandpa talking about old things with a splendid look, Xie Fu couldn't help but laugh and said: "I never thought grandpa was also a romantic man when he was young."
Xie Guangde proudly said: "Of course, I can make her happy every day. In less than half a month, she committed herself to me. It's ridiculous that those who want to marry me are still confident."
Xie Fu was surprised: "Grandpa, you are also like this..."
Xie Guangde covered Xie Fu's mouth to prevent him from continuing, and said coldly: "Don't mention old things anymore. I'm telling you this just to enlighten you. It's easy for yourself, but it's hard for your family. Do you need to abide by the precepts of our ancestors?"
Wrong, but sometimes you need to adapt. If you can't pass the psychological test, grandpa will teach you a way."
"Grandpa, tell me."
"For example, if you become the queen's man, you will be close to the king and hold great power. You will do more for the benefit of the people and the safety of the country. Isn't it also a way to display your ambition and promote the reputation of my family, Xie, as a master of helping the world? Isn't it better than being a benevolent doctor?
He who is moral but does nothing is much better."
"Grandpa, why didn't you tell me this earlier? You are hurting your grandson."
Xie Guangde sighed: "You look like this, how can I ask grandpa to tell you this? I hope you can be like a human being."
"I said why am I like this and can't control myself? It turns out that I have inherited your style, grandpa."
Xie Guangde glared at Xie Fu: "You have said so, then I will give you the next task. You need to get the dragon pa within a month."
"What Luang Phra?"
"They are the trousers worn by the emperor."
Xie Fu suddenly felt that his grandfather knew more than him.
Xie Guangde put down his cruel words: "If you can't do it, you don't deserve to be my grandson, Xie Guangde."
Xie Fu really doesn't know whether to say that grandpa is open-minded or... "My grandson will try his best."
The old guy pressed his palm heavily on Xie Fu's shoulder: "Can you?"
Xie Fu was forced to have no choice but to say: "Yes!"
Xie Guangde then laughed and said: "Let's give it a try. I still want to bury the whole body, but I don't want to be so old and have to be stabbed in the neck."
Xie Fuqing said: "That cousin."
