Chapter 1114 Pessimism does not connect

  Xia Houwei heard Yang Hu's words, and the doubts in his heart were finally answered.

  He couldn't help but sit up straight with a solemn expression, and asked again:

   "That is to say, you Taishan Yang family, are you really not optimistic about the general? Could it be that you are optimistic about the Tai Tuo?"

  The current representative of the Taishan Yang family is Yang Dan, who is the uncle of Uncle Yang.

   In addition, Uncle Yang is not very old, so naturally he cannot represent the Taishan Yang family.

  But Uncle Yang will definitely be a rare talent in the Yang family in the future.

  His final choice at least reveals part of Yang’s true views—scattering bets, family instinct.

  If it is said that Uncle Yang refused to levy the state capital in the past two years, he was still building momentum.

  Then now that he has reached the age of serving as an official, and when he meets a great general himself, he should agree to it anyway.

  If not, if you go further up, you will be recruited by the Son of Heaven.

  The question is, how old is the emperor now?

  It can be said that the general's conquest is actually the highest standard of Wei's conquest.

  Who would have thought that Uncle Yang still refused.

  According to the family's multi-party betting style, Yang Hu's approach is very unreasonable.

  In addition, what Yang Hu said just now, although it was a paraphrase of what his aunt said, may not necessarily be the internal opinion of the Yang family—at least a part of it.

   Excluding all possibilities, then there is only one conclusion: Yang is really not optimistic about the general.

   It’s okay to change to another family. If you really have to believe in Yang’s vision, at worst, you will be the same as Yang’s, and let the younger generation wait and see.

  But the Xiahou family is different.

  Because Xiahou Taichu is the great general's cousin, now he really plans to go to Xuchang to serve the great general.

  Yang's choice is really bad news for the current Xiahou family.

  Actually, Xiahou Taichu was originally the Taifu’s relative by marriage, but... oh!

  Xia Houwei's mind was full of thoughts, and his face became cloudy and uncertain.

   Seeing his expression, Yang Hu knew that the other party might be thinking too much, so he quickly waved his hand to clarify:

   "The major events in the clan cannot be known by Hu, and what Hu said is just the opinion of Hu alone."

  He really didn't know.

  Because the current him is not qualified to participate in the decision-making within the Yang clan.

   It is also because he cannot represent the Yang family, so he has no worries about going in and out of his uncle's house.

  Xia Houwei fell silent.

   It took him a long time to sigh:

   "Thinking of my Xiahou family, it has been more than four hundred years since the time of the grand servant (that is, Xiahouying in the Western Han Dynasty). I never thought about it, but it has fallen to this point. I am in a dilemma, and I am trapped before and after."

  Yang Hu is quite close to Xiahouwei, otherwise he would not have married Xiahouba's daughter back then with Xiahouwei's matchmaking.

  Seeing that Xia Houwei, who has always been bold at this time, is actually a little heroic, Yang Hu couldn't bear it, and comforted him:

"Lao Tzu once said: Misfortune is what blessings rely on, and blessings are what misfortunes are. The world's blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. The misfortunes of the past may not be the blessings of today, and the blessings of today may not be the misfortunes of the future. "

   "Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's only in people's ears. Why should the fourth uncle feel sorry for the temporary difficulties?"

   "Huh?" Xia Houwei felt that there was something in what he said, and he looked at Yang Hu, "Uncle, there are no outsiders here, you might as well make your words clearer."

  Now that the words have been spoken, Yang Hu didn't intend to hide it, but still gave Xia Houwei an advance amount:

   "Fourth uncle, you are still young, the following words are just your own thoughts, if there is a conflict, please don't blame the fourth uncle."

  Xia Houwei laughed and said:

   "You have also said that you are the second brother's son-in-law. In my heart, you are already part of my family, so why worry about it? But please say so."

  Yang Hu pondered for a moment, as if trying to gather words, and then said:

   "Although my aunt is of the generation of women, she has always had extraordinary knowledge, and I regard her as my mother. Since she has such an evaluation of the general, I must rest assured."

   "Gu Hu repeatedly refused to recruit secluded people, and came to Luoyang just to see if the Taifu could be a pillar of the Great Wei."

  Xia Houwei felt a chill in his heart when he heard it:

   Sure enough!

  Compared to the general, Uncle Yang seems to be more optimistic about Tai Tuo?

  Thinking about this, Xia Houwei asked:

   "Uncle has been in Luoyang for a long time, what might you see?"

   "As my aunt said, the Taifu is a veteran of the four dynasties, a minister of the two dynasties, and the court of the Great Wei Dynasty. There is no one as prestigious as the Taifu."

  Yang Hu chose his words carefully, "In addition, since the death of the first emperor, the general's actions have made many important officials in the court think that the general is far inferior to the grand master."

  Xia Houwei was silent.

  As the in-laws of the Cao family, the Xiahou family is naturally close to the general.

  But in the past two years, what the General has done has really disappointed people.

   "If there is only Great Wei in the world," Yang Hu said here, and looked up at Xia Houwei, "In Hu's view, it is naturally better to choose the Grand Tutor than the Great General."

  Although the other party's choice had been expected for a long time, Xia Houwei still couldn't help being slightly disappointed when he heard the other party's words at this time.

  Although Yanghu does not represent the Taishan Yang family, it can be seen more or less that the Kanto family, I am afraid...

  Just as he thought of this, Xia Houwei suddenly recalled: "Huh? Huh!"

  I saw that he was a little lost and almost couldn't help but want to stand up: "What do you mean by uncle!"

  Yang Hu didn't answer immediately, but talked about him from left to right, and talked about another irrelevant topic:

"As far as Hu knows, General Zhendong (that is, Xia Houmao, who was transferred to Qingxu by Cao Rui as General Zhendong after the Longyou War) was in charge of Qingxu. "

   "A few days ago, the clan sent people to visit General Zhendong, saying that the woolen materials from the past few years were worn out, and they wanted to buy a new batch..."

  Hearing this, Xia Houwei couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly got up.

  But seeing that his body was trembling slightly, his face was full of anger, his teeth were gritting loudly, but he couldn't express his emotions.

  The rumors that Luoyang and Guanzhong have resumed caravan exchanges are actually not gossip.

  Because Xia Houwei knew that the person who sent the caravan to Guanzhong had his brother Xia Houzhu.

  The caravans sent by these families must be bought and sold, but if they really want to be able to explore the way in advance, it is probably a matter of convenience.

   They are all big families with a history of hundreds of years. Who doesn't know who?

  Xia Houwei opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't make any sound, because he didn't know what to say.

   After a long time, he closed his eyes, sat back in pain, and murmured:

   "Da Wei, why did you become like this?"

  Although these families cannot represent all the Kanto families, at least it means that some people are thinking of changing!

   After all, the family is the most fickle.

   People's hearts are gone!

  Seeing Xia Houwei's appearance like this, Yang Hu sighed and pointed out a fact that many people are unwilling to face:

   "Fourth uncle, it's because the world has changed! Today's world is no longer what it was when Emperor Wu was here."

  In fact, even if a strong enemy is crushing the border, as long as the king and ministers of the Great Wei are united, even with the current foundation of the Great Wei, there may not be no hope.

   If you don’t believe me, take a look at the Kingdom of Shu?

   At that time, it was only a land of one state, and two generations of monarchs and ministers were still able to work hard. How many people were gathered by the sentence "Rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital"?

   It's a pity that Cao Wei has come to such a time, and the Cao family doesn't seem to have thought about governing the country of the Great Wei.

  The current situation is in crisis and the young master is established, and the country is unstable to support the anointed beam.

  How much confidence can such a great Wei bring to the world?

   It’s not that there are no loyal ministers in Wei now. On the contrary, there are still many people in Wei. I hope the Tai Tuo can stand up and stabilize the overall situation.

  However, you cannot expect everyone to continue to be loyal ministers to Wei without hesitation.

  Xia Houwei opened his eyes and looked straight at Yang Hu:

   "So, you Yang family didn't actually think that you would be on the side of Taifu?"

  Yang Hu smiled wryly and shook his head:

   "Fourth uncle, I've said it before. These words are just Hu's own thoughts. As for what the clan thinks, Hu can't know."

  Xia Houwei pressed on every step of the way: "So personally, do you not like Wei?"

   "Fourth uncle, Hu has not yet become an official, does it matter if he sees Wei Wei well? Instead of thinking about these unimportant things, it is better to find a way to take good care of my grandmother."

  Xia Houwei let out a long sigh: "I understand."

  Finally understand why Uncle Yang didn't become an official.

  Can the aristocratic family watch coldly the 200-year-old Han Dynasty suddenly fall, and it has only been a few years since the founding of the Great Wei?

   Still want to count on them to be the loyal ministers of Wei?

  Even Xia Houwei vaguely guessed what Yang Hu meant by interdependence of fortune and misfortune.

  My second brother may have voted for the Shu captive, and my younger sister gave birth to two daughters, and the eldest daughter married the Shu lord.

  The youngest daughter heard that Zhuge Liang had been a matchmaker during her lifetime and was going to marry Feng thief.

  If it were someone else’s family, not to mention the family whose minds changed, even the Yang family who was not prepared to participate in the battle between the Great Wei Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, I’m afraid they would wake up laughing secretly from their dreams.

  The east side is not bright and the west side is bright. Anyway, Shu Wei is fighting, no matter which country wins, there is no need to worry about the decline of the family.

   But the problem is-my brothers, but they have a feud with the Shu captives who killed their fathers!

  Just when Xia Houwei's face was cloudy and he couldn't control his sorrows and joys, Sima Shi, who was also in Luoyang City, was in a much worse mood than Xia Houwei on the day of the happy day.

the reason is simple.

  Because the welcome person outside the door shouted:

   "Xiahou Yulin Supervisor came to congratulate you!"

  The guests who were drinking for fun, when they heard the news, they stood up all of a sudden.

  The person sitting near the door simply skipped over the desk and walked out the door quickly, and at the same time exclaimed in surprise:

   "Is it true that Mr. Xia Houlang is here?"

  Sitting inside, the guests who didn't hear clearly, saw the commotion at the front door, and asked about it one after another.

   After hearing that it was Xia Houxuan who came in person, many people also stood up and looked towards the door.

   After a while, the crowd that had blocked the door tightly separated out of their own way.

  I saw a young man who looked as bright as the sun and the moon in his arms, slowly walking in.

  The crowd who had been actively divided into two sides, their faces flushed with excitement, talking to each other, whenever young men passed by, they couldn't help but stop their voices, even breathing as much as possible.

   Not for other reasons, just because this young man is too attractive.

   Temperament, mainly because the temperament is too attractive.

  He seems not to belong to this world.

   To use a word passed down from Western Shu, it is called banishing immortals. Yes, it is not enough to say that it is not "banished immortals".

  Wishing that "it is as serious as entering a corridor temple, people respect themselves instead of cultivating respect", and "it is like entering a ancestral temple but seeing ritual instruments".

  Where he is, people will involuntarily put away their frivolity and stand in awe.

  It seems that making loud noises is disrespectful to this person.

  And Sima Zhao, younger brother of the protagonist Sima Shi, is leading the young man into the mansion.

  Looking at the satisfied smile on Sima Zhao's face, it seemed that it was his great honor to be close to this young man.

  The originally bustling mansion gradually became quiet after the young man entered. Everyone stood up and paid attention to the man.

  Xia Houxuan walked up to Master Sima, bowed his hands and saluted:

   "Zi Yuan is overjoyed today, and Xuan specially came to congratulate him."

  Many people showed envy in their eyes.

  As today's protagonist, Sima Shi, also had a very happy smile on his face, and held Xia Houxuan's hand:

   "Tai Chu, I am really honored that you can come, come, come, please come with me!"

  He looked extremely happy, as if he was infected by emotion, even the small sarcoid in the corner of his eye became brighter red than usual.

  Seeing Xia Houxuan's figure disappear in the inner courtyard, all the guests in the vestibule couldn't help sighing.

   Only those who are regarded as the closest by Sima Ziyuan can enter, and they do not have this qualification yet.

  Master Sima led Xia Houxuan to the seat of honored guests, and personally accompanied him for three cups, and then he took his leave, claiming to go out to greet the guests again.

  After turning into an empty room, Sima Shi, who was originally smiling, immediately turned extremely gloomy.

   He gritted his teeth, but in the end he couldn't hold back his emotions. He clenched his fist and slammed it **** the table, roaring in a low voice:

   "Too much deceit!"

  It sounded like a wounded beast.

  But seeing his fierce eyes, he murmured fiercely:

   "Do you insist on picking this day to humiliate me?"

  In the eyes of others, it is extremely embarrassing to have Xia Houxuan come to congratulate him in person.

  But to Sima Shi, Xia Houxuan's move was tantamount to hitting the face.

  After all, the other party's younger sister was his ex-wife, and she was poisoned to death by herself, and at the same time declared that she died suddenly.

  This matter also caused me to follow my lord to meet Xia Houxuan, and was humiliated by the other party and rejected in public by the other party.

  For Sima Shi, he would rather never meet Xia Houxuan in this life.

  Recalling that when this person arrived, most of the guests stood up for him, Sima Shi didn't know what he thought of, his face turned from anger to gloomy, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

   At this moment, someone outside suddenly shouted:

   "Brother, brother?"

   With a "squeak", the door was opened, and Master Sima came out with a smile on his face, "Zi Shang, what's the matter?"

  Sima Zhao hurried over and said happily:

   "Brother, the news of Taichu's visit to congratulate has spread, and now there are many scholars outside the mansion, all for Taichu's sake!"

  Master Sima twitched his face when he heard it, and immediately revealed a look of surprise: "Really?"
