In the north, the Chongtian family.
After Zhou Tian's situation gradually stabilized, the Chongtian family also naturally launched the political arena in the Thai palace. The Taishi family has not made such a choice yet.
Both families are relatives of Zhou Tian, but unfortunately, the actual situations faced by the two families are not the same.
Chongming, Tai Shiyu, Mrs. Chongtian and Mrs. Taishi sat around a table and gathered a table of mahjong. On the table next to the mahjong table, there were various fruit snacks, and the maid on the side waited carefully. .
Tai Shiyu is still in a good mood now. Zhou Tian has made such a great achievement. The members of the Taishi family have also found their own suitable position under the gate of the Thai palace. It is not too high or too low, but Victory can develop in the long term, and after working hard to a certain extent, it can be seen by Zhou Tian. The future development direction is naturally beautiful and benign.
Sometimes it’s not enough for a person to work hard. If you don’t have personal connections, it’s not enough. Fortunately, people from the Taishi family can really do what they can do in the officialdom. Zhou Tian is a pupil. Nor is he a blind man.
On this basis, Tai Shiyu didn't quite understand the decision made by Chongming.
Curiously asked: "Your son, indeed, has gained a firm foothold in the Thai Palace, and he will be crowned the king in the future. It is also a certainty. It stands to reason that you, an old man, should give your son a good push. At the most critical moment, help your son to help and spread it out in the future. That is also a good talk, but why did you choose to retreat from the rapids at the peak of the year
Mrs. Tai Shi is also puzzled about this, but Mrs. Tai Shi is not so concerned about these things now. She has secretly investigated and found that Zhou Tian still loves Tai Shi Meng very much, and even to a certain extent, she loves Tai Shi Meng. , Beyond the love of Chongyue.
This person who was a mother-in-law completely let go of his hanging heart.
Speaking of this level, Zhongming has no intention of playing mahjong anymore. He knows that some things will be made public sooner or later.
With a bitter smile: "I know that in your heart, you have always been so worried about the fact that you don't have a son. You really want a son, but there is still a chance for this kind of thing. Maybe one day, Ling Ai is pregnant. ."
"But this son of mine is also a son who makes me feel bad about it."
Tai Shiyu was shocked, looking at Chongming with a confused expression, and said, "How do you say this? Chongri has become the absolute first person among the first kings. Speaking of the foundation of cultivation, even Zhou The sky is incomparable. Moreover, at a young age, they have already done things on the battlefield that many scheming old guys can't do. To have such a son, you should feel proud."
"Could it be that your son is not a filial son?"
"But I value the day, and I don't
Like an unfilial son. "
Suddenly, Tai Shiyu realized that he had lost his temper. In the super family, filial piety, affection, and caring for these things, in many cases, seemed too extravagant.
Since ancient times, the relationship between the prince and the emperor has not always been harmonious.
Zhongming said: "As you imagined, my son has already begun to rob me for power. This Chongtian family, until now, it is really not me who has the final say and is willing to follow me. , I have chosen to retreat from the rapids and leaned most of the family's resources to this part of the people."
"As for my son, he already has enough talent outside. Whether he will have the support of the Chongtian family is not that important."
"Led by Zhongyu, many veterans are on the side of Zhongri."
"To tell you the truth, I don't know if my son will return to his hometown or the North in the future."
Mrs. Chongtian also had some sadness in her heart. She was sad that she didn't handle the relationship between her stepmother and son with Chongri from the beginning, and she was also sad for her maiden family. They all died in the hands of Chongri. At that time, Chong Ri, a young man, had that determination and courage to do those bloody and cruel things.
There is no turning back. They don't know what Chongri's true thoughts are in his heart. Maybe Chongri is willing to let them know his true thoughts in his heart.
Tai Shiyu touched his forehead and said sadly: "Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite. I thought you had such a son who couldn't sleep happily at night."
"It turned out to be like this."
"But it doesn't matter. It is better to have a promising son than a non-promising son. Among super families, filial piety does not seem to be very common."
"Grabbing the class for power has always happened between father and son since ancient times."
"By the way, what do you think about being taken up by your own son?"
Chongming said helplessly: "To tell the truth, I was emptied by my son. I am also happy. At least Chongri has the ability to do such things, which proves that he has completely grown up."
"But what makes me uncomfortable is that my son actually looks down on me as an old man. I don't even know what his son's true thoughts are in his heart. He has not done too much to me, his filial piety on the surface. He also did it very well and was impeccable, but the more it was, the more uncomfortable my heart was. Sometimes I even doubted whether there was me as an old man in his heart, or me as an old man. What does it mean to him."
While talking, Zhongming was about to cry, but he tried his best to suppress his emotions. This kind of emotion is not sad, but it is mixed and unclear.
Tai Shiyu didn't know how to comfort his old brother, so he could only pour a cup of tea for Zhongming.
Chongming looked at Tai Shiyu without understanding and said: "You just said that every family has a hard-to-read scripture. Anyway, everything is very good in your family. The echelon building is perfect, and Ling Ai can’t tell. When will you give birth to a son."
"What the hell is hard to recite?"
Tai Shiyu originally didn't want to say this in front of Zhongming, but Zhongming had already put his heart on him, so he couldn't hide anything. If he continued to conceal it, it seemed that he was somewhat hypocritical.
We are all relatives, and it is better to keep the relationship between relatives as harmonious as possible.
Tai Shiyu said slowly: "I don't know how Zhou Tian treats you. Anyway, his attitude towards me and my wife is very weird. I can't say that I don't like us, but it doesn't seem to trust us extraordinarily. We keep a certain distance. Even in many cases, we still need to look at Zhou Tian’s face and guess what he thinks in his heart. Sometimes, if he guesses wrong, Zhou Tian won’t find us boring and winks. On the contrary, it will encourage us."
"Even, sometimes, I really don't know if Zhou Tian is playing power, or after a long time in that position, he has developed an unpredictable temperament."
"It’s actually not the same as your situation. You are at least very clear. Your son looks down on you, but my son-in-law, I really don’t know whether I can look down on me or look down on me. Here, I am often confused."
When Zhongming heard this, he fell into deep thought.
Speaking of it, it has been a long time since I went to the Thai Palace to visit Zhou Tian.
The relationship between the old man and his son-in-law is also quite subtle.
Zhongming said: "It's better to be stranded for a while. The Sunday of this period is in its prime, full of spirits, and many people are cold and warm. He may not realize it, maybe realize it, and there is no such leisure time to deal with these things. The war, Zhou Tian is already in a strong phase. During this time period, we can take care of as much as we need. Just don't cause trouble."
Tai Shiyu can only think in this direction now, saying: "His mother-in-law is sewing a brand new dragon robe for him recently."
"I don't know, will he like such a gift."
Zhongming comforted: "I'll like it, he doesn't like the gift from his mother-in-law, does he want to get mixed up!"
Several people on the mahjong table burst into laughter.
The dullness in my heart gradually disappeared a lot in the laughter like this. It is impossible to disappear completely.
But as much as it can disappear.
Power and feelings have been full of contradictions since ancient times.
I can only hope that conflicts like this will only become less and less.
