generation hero

Yuan Tang was stunned by this question.

He knew that Feng Cong was very smart, and even though he dismissed the rivalry between the queen mother, the emperor, the Wang family and the Xiao family, and showed no interest in the court situation, he understood the pros and cons very well.

After all, he still didn't want to.

Yuan Tang sent Shen Jingxuan to the Kangxin Hall, the two waved goodbye, Yuan Tang returned along the original road, on the bamboo forest path, the wind in the forest carried the fragrance of bamboo leaves.

Back at Liuxiang Residence, Feng Cong was sitting on the wooden porch, waving to Yuantang.

Feng Cong pulled Yuantang into the room, found a box of light green plaster, and helped Yuantang apply it on his lips.

"What did Shen Jingxuan say?" Feng Cong asked.

Yuan Tang wanted to laugh again, Feng Cong obviously cared about Shen Jingxuan, these two were so fun.

"Say you can't help yourself up." Yuan Tang said truthfully, causing Feng Cong to give him a look of "That's right".

Feng Cong said: "He has been like this since he was a child, and he can't pull back nine cows."

Yuantang thought that Shen Jingxuan must have thought of you the same way.

"Third Brother said that his father had been Prince Wenxi's companion and admired him as a man." Yuan Tang said.

"That's right," Feng Cong nodded, "His father was almost kicked out of the house because he got too close to my grandfather."

"???" Yuan Tang didn't know that there was this hidden affair, neither Shen Jingxuan nor Feng Cong mentioned it.

"I heard from Uncle De that after Uncle Shen resigned, he did not return to the Shen family in Pengwu, but has been living in Shangyun." Understand clearly.

Feng Cong said: "I can't go back. Shen Shangshu has been an official for many years, and he is very astute. He knew very early on that my uncle would suspect him, so he made early preparations to make friends with the Wang family. After he resigned, he recommended Wang Xi as the minister. , to pave the way for the Shen family to retreat. When Shen Shangshu resigned from office, the Shen family was already suffering from rumors and rumors in the court. The same party. The emperor had just ascended the throne not long ago, and he was particularly jealous of people supporting my father, thinking that those people were questioning him, so he was even more displeased with the Shen family. Later, Uncle Shen could not bear the pressure of the Shen family and resigned. The Shen family wanted to avoid suspicion. , Uncle Shen’s family has not been allowed to return to Pengwu for many years. It was not until Uncle Shen became seriously ill and the old lady of the Shen family really missed her grandson that the Shen family accepted their family again.”

In the country of Xia, who was born in a heavy family, the interests of the family are often put first. The sources of contacts and prestige for official careers come from the family. The surname is not just a reputation for the clansman. At the same time, a person born with a surname is born with The more outstanding the imprint of this surname, the more it will be considered a representative of a family.

Yuan Tang felt it deeply when he was in Ji Yang.

If the emperor had really suspected the Shen family because of Shen Jingxuan's father, the entire Shen family would have been destroyed.

"So," Yuan Tang asked, "You don't want Third Brother Shen to be implicated?"

Feng Cong laughed lightly, with a bit of uninhibited laughter, and said: "It's best for a family like Shen Jingxuan to become an official in the court, and it's best not to care about the government. Whoever is in power has no real influence on the Shen family. You don't see Xiao Shanzhi calling the wind and rain in the court, but you are always afraid that the reputation of the Xiao family will not be as good as the Shen family."

But Shen Jingxuan is definitely not someone who can live a stable life by being a dignitary, Yuan Tang knows it, and Feng Cong knows it too.

The ointment used by Feng Cong has a grass-leaf flavor and is not cold. After it spreads, the hot feeling subsides a little.

"It's swollen." Feng Cong said.

Yuan Tang couldn't help touching the bronze mirror to look, it seemed that it was indeed swollen, and it was a little red, like rouge around his lips, it was ugly, just now he went out like this to see Shen Jingxuan off, thinking about it, his eyes are very hot But Shen Jingxuan didn't laugh at him.

"Don't move around." Feng Cong said, because Yuan Tang turned his head, and Feng Cong's fingertips brushed against Yuan Tang's lips, leaving a wet mark on it.

Feng Cong hurriedly bent his index finger to wipe it, his finger ran over Yuantang's lips back and forth, making it red again.

The wind moved the leaves, and the sunlight penetrating through the tung leaves also flickered, and the light fell on the human face, as if the human face was also shining.

Yuan Tang saw another ray of light shoot into Feng Cong's eyes, illuminating his eyes, but he couldn't see Feng Cong's eyes clearly, because Feng Cong's eyelids were drooping, and Yuan Tang could only see his long eyelashes. .

"You..." Feng Cong said, "You're so soft."

His finger wiped gently on Yuantang's lips again.

With a "boom", Yuan Tang heard the sound of his heart beating faster. Feng Cong helped him apply the medicine and the two separated. "It's finished, what are you doing there?"

Yuan Tang didn't know why he was standing still. When Feng Cong touched him just now, at the last touch, he actually felt a tingling sensation, and at the same time, a tremor-like feeling ran up his spine, as if a certain mechanism had been turned on instantly. However, Feng Cong didn't do anything to him, and Yuan Tang also knew that Feng Cong had no special meaning.

The ointment didn't seem to help at all, and Yuan Tang felt like he was getting hot again.

In the evening wind of midsummer, Yuan Tang's head was in a daze. Because of the strange feeling he had somehow felt in that moment in the morning, he hadn't talked to Feng Cong all day, and pretended to study military art in his room.

What went wrong, maybe, Yuan Tang thought, maybe it was just because he hadn't considered some personal needs for too long, whether it was psychological or...um.

After he came to this world, his life was too tense and fulfilling. He defended the city of Ju, took over a large family later, practiced martial arts, and then went to Beijing.

In addition to lack of time, there is another problem that is difficult to solve. Yuan Tang likes men.

In this era, there is also a saying of masculinity. With Yuan Tang's background and conditions, it is not too difficult to find a lover after the filial piety period. The difficulty is to find a partner to spend his life with him.

Men and men cannot carry on the family line. The world can accept arty, but it is difficult to accept things that are too much mundane besides elegance.

Yuan Tang doesn't care about other people's opinions, but he is a little worried about whether he can find someone who doesn't care as much as him.

Originally, he wasn't particularly anxious to find a boyfriend before the time-traveling, but after the time-traveling, there were too many things to take care of, so he just thought about it, and didn't seriously think about it.

Although he likes men, he doesn't fall in love with every man he sees. Like Shen Jingxuan and Feng Cong, Yuan Tang likes them very much. This kind of liking is just that of friends, and he has absolutely no thoughts beyond friendship.

This morning... Yuan Tang was also very surprised in the morning. Thinking about it, he did have a good impression of Feng Cong, but it wasn't that kind of affection. Why did it become so strange all of a sudden.

Maybe he is really lonely?Or maybe it's because the boy's body is in puberty, and he's more restless?

Yuan Tang sighed, lit the oil lamp and spread out the book of war. A suitable partner is hard to find, but it is imminent to make achievements, so we still have to work hard.

He threw away all distracting thoughts, and prepared to read it again carefully against King Huan's annotations.

The next day was the day when Yuan Tang was awarded the title of school lieutenant, because Yuan Tang lived in the palace and could not be awarded the title in the palace, so he went to the Ministry of Officials to pick up the documents.

Yuan Tang met Zhan Fang who came down from the carriage in the Ministry of Officials. The other party seemed to have no memory of who he was, and entered the official household with the officials of the Ministry of Officials without squinting.

Back at Liuxiang Residence, Yuan Tang touched Feng Cong's study again. He thought he had found the reason for his abnormal reaction, so he didn't feel embarrassed, and went to look for water in the study.

"It's too hot!" Yuan Tang wiped his sweat, took off his outer robe, and kept fanning the wind. The maid brought a plate of iced cold melon, and Yuan Tang gnawed until his tongue fell off.

Feng Cong stood behind a row of bookshelves and said, "The little general is back."

Yuan Tang said: "Don't call me a little general. I was only named a captain, not a general. I've said it all. In the past, everyone called me a mess."

Feng Cong closed the book and smiled: "It's so majestic to call the little general." He also took a piece of cold melon and put it in his mouth, chewing it calmly.

Yuan Tang said: "I met Zhan Fang in the Ministry of Officials, and the imperial court sent him to be the prefect of Dan County. I thought he would stay in the imperial court as an official."

Feng Cong's eyebrows twitched, and Yuan Tang understood: "Stopped by the Xiao family again? I don't think Zhan Fang is very happy, and he doesn't seem to want to be an official in Dan County."

Feng Cong said: "Zhan's background is only to be the prefect of Dan County, which is really low. Your Majesty is still guarding against the Zhan family and will not let him become a big official, but your majesty also relies on Zhan's old background in Caizhou. Control Caizhou, so I won’t use him.”

Yuan Tang understood a little bit that the emperor couldn't trust the two meritorious and powerful families like the Zhan family and the Shen family, but he couldn't completely suppress them.

"But in this way, wouldn't the Shen family and the Zhan family be able to become the queen mother's help?" Yuan Tang said.

Shen Jingxuan and Zhan Fang, one has no real power and the other is not in the court. Both of them are outstanding youths of the two families. Neither of them can play a role. Wouldn't the efforts of the Wang family unite the two families be in vain.

Feng Cong said: "It's still half a year before my uncle leaves town, it's just the beginning, who knows how the situation will be in half a year's time?"

Feng Cong patted Yuantang's forehead, and said, "Why do you care about these things? You haven't become an official yet, so thinking too much will delay your study."

Yuan Tang covered his head with tears in his eyes, and said, "I don't want to care about it either, but I don't know how long you'll have to think about it."

Feng Cong said a little depressed: "It's boring to keep you in Liuxiangju with me."

Yuan Tang said: "That's not what I meant. I was wondering if the queen mother wanted to use you to gather other people's support when she let you go out." some.

According to Shen Jingxuan, the empress dowager asked Feng Cong to think about his mistakes. On the one hand, Feng Cong pushed Feng Hongshen into the water in public. It would be difficult to convince the public without punishment. The emperor and empress could not hold back this tone; It's because the Queen Mother has nothing to do with Feng Cong for the time being. She hasn't given up the idea of ​​using Feng Cong to win people's hearts.

Feng Cong waved his hand and said, "You are unworthy to worry about this. I'll ask the Queen Mother to find you a teacher."

Yuan Tang was a little dumbfounded: "There is no one who invites a teacher for a companion. If you invite others, they will think it is for you. You are thinking about your mistakes. It is not good to invite a teacher to Liuxiangju."

It was rare for Feng Cong to show a distressed expression. Yuantang knew that Feng Cong must have listened to Shen Jingxuan's words of blaming him for hurting himself, and hurriedly said, "I don't need a teacher to teach me. Uncle De can accompany me to practice riding and archery. His Royal Highness Huan You gave me the Art of War and haven’t read it yet, so I’ll ask you if you don’t understand.”

Feng Cong said, "I don't necessarily know all of them."

"Knows more than I do."
