Su Jin's words were deafening, Yan Shu had to re-acquaint himself with Su Jin, originally in Yan Shu's opinion, Su Jin was just an unruly teenager with some ability, he believed that after his own training, this wild horse would become a good horse under his hands.

But now it seems that Su Jin is by no means at the mercy of others, he has complete control over his own fate, and he is unwilling to compromise, any constraints that threaten the freedom creed he believes in, he will break through it desperately, even if it is a high-ranking official, even if it is Yan Biyun.

Yan Shu suddenly understood that this son was completely different from the group of people around him who were begging for mercy, and even his appearance and his heart were completely different from each other, this slender young man was actually as strong as iron and as strong as steel, subverting most of his assumptions; If you want to have a good relationship with Su Jin, the only way is not charity, oppression, interference and coercion, but respect.

Yan Shu's mood was very conflicted, he didn't know what kind of person Su Jin would become, but Su Jin, who had strong self-esteem, was obviously an alternative in the court; The various compromises, alliances, betrayals and dumps that are full of officialdom will also violate the bottom line in Su Jin's heart; If this is not tolerated, his fate will be unpredictable and unknown.

Looking at what Su Jin did, he seems to have a natural ability to survive in the officialdom, he is comfortable in these whirlpool contradictions, like an old fritter covered in grease, Yangzhou officials to manage the big case, it is clear that he united with the main local forces in Yangzhou to seize it in one fell swoop, and it is also a science to know who to unite and whom to win over whom; Su Jin can do this, which shows that his vision is accurate and his courage is inhuman.

In the end, Yan Shu reluctantly came to a conclusion to Su Jin, this person has a sleek appearance and a tough heart, and in the future, he will either be a traitor or a famous minister who complements each other, and before the conclusion is reached, he will either find an opportunity to get rid of him, or get along with him well and give him enough respect.

The answer is, of course, the latter, Yan Shu is absolutely impossible to attack Su Jin, even if it is his political enemy, Yan Shu has never killed anyone, it is this that makes Yan Shu smooth in the court and has a good reputation, which is also the reason why he has stood on the court for thirty years and stood tall despite the stormy waves.

What's more, Su Jin is Yan Biyun's sweetheart, Yan Biyun has almost died of illness for Su Jin, and it is impossible for him to attack Su Jin no matter what.

In just a moment, countless thoughts had flashed through Yan Shu's mind, and when he made a decision, he suddenly felt a sense of relief; It's like walking through thousands of mountains and rivers to find something that you really want in your heart, but in the end you choose to give up empty-handed, this kind of giving up is also a relief; Taking a step back and opening up the sky, Yan Shu has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he is an open-minded and intelligent person, how can he not know how to give up.

Since your own stable can't keep this wild horse on a leash, why not let it gallop in the open sea and sky.

"Su Jin." Yan Shu patted Su Jin's shoulder and sighed: "You can reveal your heart to the old man, the old man is very pleased, these words may be the first time you mention to someone, may be the deepest words in your heart, the old man is a person who reads the books of sages, and has always emulated the gentlemanly demeanor of the ancient sages, he doesn't want to embarrass people, the old man attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and also values faith and righteousness, when he reaches an age, do you think the old man has anything that he can't see?" ”

Su Jin looked at Yan Shu thoughtfully.

"There is really no such thing as gathering and scattering towards the clouds, how many can you look at each other at a hundred years old? Don't come to be unemotional, and think about it a thousand times. This is the old man's words three years ago, from which you should know how the old man's state of mind is, the reason why I have some restraints on you, in fact, is to treat you as a generation of nephews to cherish, if the old man does not appreciate you, how can he allow Biyun to associate with you, and how can he try to let you participate in such a major event, just want you to have a good future; It is true that the old man also borrowed your merits to go further, but since he is a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, how can he shirk and seek to protect his life; The court is not a pure land, the party is inevitable to fight against differences, if I Yan Shu want to be loyal, then I must do something, the power falls into the hands of traitors, the safety of my Yan clan does not matter, if the society is turbulent, it is against the way of the courtiers, it is for the disloyal people. ”

Su Jin understood Yan Shu's words, Yan Shu's meaning was to say, I am fighting for power and profit for myself, but more for the sake of the society and the country, in order to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, so I use some means.

"Under full understanding."

"It's good that you can understand, the old man won't force you, but tomorrow's move is related to the merits and demerits of food affairs, and if you give up your official position, you will be used by people with ulterior motives, or you will be deserved, or you will despise the imperial power, in short, the merits of food affairs will be obliterated, and the ladder to the phase that we have worked so hard to build may also collapse; In addition, your matter of the edict in Bagong Mountain has not yet been decided, Ouyang Xiu can't rely on it, once the wind direction reverses, maybe he will bite you back, and it will be difficult to do it then. ”

Su Jin nodded, Yan Shu's worries were not superfluous, on the way to Beijing, he had asked Ouyang Xiu many times about the results of his investigation in Shouzhou, but Ouyang Xiu kept silent, it was hard to guarantee what the hell this guy would think; However, if he really dares to fight back, he will shake out the matter of opening military rations for himself in one fell swoop, and make a mess; It's just that in this way, both himself and Ouyang Xiu will be unlucky, but it will benefit Lu Yijian and Du Yan, so they must not be said unless they have to.

"As for you saying that you want to ask me for something, the old man doesn't know what it is, but the old man promises you that after tomorrow morning, the old man will accompany you to see the emperor and plead for you on this matter; There is only one thing, this matter must not damage the court, otherwise the old man will never agree. ”

Su Jin arched his hand and said: "Lord Sansi, rest assured, this matter is definitely beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, it is a move for the benefit of the country and the people, Su Jin is not talented, how can he not understand this, or I will tell you about this matter now." ”

Yan Shu waved his hand and said: "The old man believes you, there is no need to say it, the night is already three watches, and tomorrow will be early, and the old man is also a little tired." ”

Su Jin hurriedly arched his hand and said, "In this case, I will leave now." ”

Yan Shu waved his hand weakly, picked up the teacup and said, "Send off, Yanguo, Yinfu, you send Su Jin for me." ”

Fu Bi and Yang Cha bowed down and agreed, and hugged Su Jin out of the hall one by one, and the servants hurriedly moved lanterns to illuminate it, leading Su Jin down the steps.

Su Jin looked back, but saw Yan Shu's figure sitting motionless on the side of the desk, not knowing what he was thinking; For a moment, Su Jin suddenly felt that he was a little too much, which made this old man, who was quite good to him, angry enough tonight, but this thought only flashed for a short time, and was immediately thrown out of the clouds by Su Jin.

After experiencing the difficulties and dangers in Yingtian, Yangzhou and Luzhou, Su Jin has long understood a truth, in this world, you must not entrust your fate to others, you think it is a very safe shortcut, but in fact, it is all a mirage, which can collapse in an instant.

Yan Shu has a saying that is very right, mastering destiny does not depend on luck, but on strength; Su Jin is extremely eager for tomorrow's early dynasty.

"To hell with the word indifferent fame and fortune, everything I Su Jin deserves, I have to come, no matter what way, if I don't make a lot of money tomorrow, I can't help myself for months of hard work and exhaustion." Su Jin thought silently.

……

The three of them silently walked out of the gate of the Yan Mansion, and the little pillar jumped out of the carriage and hurried to greet Su Jin, who stood under the steps in front of the Yan Mansion and said goodbye to Fu Bi Yang Cha.

Fu Bi arched his hand and said: "Brother Xian, you drank a few more glasses today, there are many inappropriate things in your words, which makes your father-in-law not very happy, after waking up tomorrow, you will still come to explain and explain, they are all a family, don't hurt the harmony." ”

Su Jin nodded and said: "I know, Brother Yanguo, I also offended the two of you, it is indeed a little inappropriate, I will be the east another day, please eat and drink to make amends." ”

Fu Bi smiled: "This is the sentence, don't say much, go back quickly." ”

Su Jin waved his hand, got into the carriage, Xiao Zhu'er raised his whip, and the carriage went south along the Tianshuijing Hutong and went straight to Bianshui.

Fu Bi and Yang Cha stood at the door and waved, Yang Cha suddenly said: "Brother Yanguo, this Su Jin is really a character, the first time I have seen someone dare to talk to his father-in-law like this, do you think his father-in-law will ......?"

Fu Bi smiled and said, "You ask me, who do I ask?" But there is one thing I can tell you, this Su Jin is that you and I are not as capable as him, you listen to what he said today, how have you and I ever thought about this? ”

Yang Cha said in a low voice: "Could it be that Brother Yanguo was moved by his words? That's our father-in-law. ”

Fu Bi smiled and said, "Which one do you like to do?" ”

Yang Cha thought for a while and said, "Little brother sees that each has its own benefits. ”

Fu Bi smiled: "You are sleek, at present, you and I can only be loyal dogs, it is not enough to be a wild horse, as for the future, let's see." ”

Yang Cha clicked his lips, did not pick up the stubble, and only followed Fu Bi's feet closely and followed the house.
