Chapter 9 Mysterious Worries
Piao Tian Wenxue �
Yang Xuangan watched the convoy gradually move away, and his heart was filled with an inexplicable loss. He had a son who could make him proud, but was forced away by his cowardice and shortsightedness.
He looked back at his uncle. At some point, Yang Yue had left. Yang Xuangan walked to his brother Xuan Bao and patted him on the shoulder, "Come to my study!"
Yang Su's death was not long, and the affairs of Yang's mansion were temporarily decided by Yang Su's two brothers Yang Shen and Yang Jie. The power of the Yang family has not been transferred to the eldest son Yang Xuangan.
In the study, Yang Xuan sighed and said to his brother: "I wonder if I have a chance to let Yuan Qing return to me?"
The elder brother's statement was as expected by Yang Xuanzhao. He couldn't help but secretly despise his elder brother. If His Royal Highness and Princess Leping appeared at the same time to support Yuan Qing, would he be so disappointed?
However, it is better for the brother to see this than he is stubborn. Yang Xuanzhuo also sighed slightly: "Actually, this time my father's death is the best opportunity for the Yang family to repair their relationship with Yuanqing, but the Yang family still did not seize this opportunity. Now that we want to bring Yuanqing back to the Yang family immediately, there are certain difficulties in terms of feelings and face. I think we must make a long-term plan. As long as our Yang family is sincere, the Yuanqing meeting will be back, but the first step must be that our Yang family takes the lead."
Yang Xuangan lowered his head and said nothing. Xuanzhuo understood that if he wanted to pull Yuan Qing back, the first thing he wanted to do was to hold a family meeting and abolish all punishments against Yuan Qing. However, this step was a huge difficulty. Otherwise, his father would not have passed away with regret and abolished the punishment for Yuan Qing. It would inevitably cause great trouble with changes in the interests of the family's houses. Especially when his father just passed away, any sensitive action would cause turmoil within the family. Yang Xuangan had to take this sensitive issue into consideration.
In fact, although Yang Yuanqing's anger at the tribe just now hurt Yang Xuangan, when he calmed down, he had to admit that Yuan Qing's anger talked about the root of the Yang family's illness, and no one followed suit.
This time, in order to win back his father's title, the Yang family decided to stop the burial and protest. Now it seems that the decision made by everyone indignation was a bit stupid. Yang Xuangan also knew that he was kicked out of the election of Cao Qigui by the Emperor. In fact, the Yang family had angered the Emperor. Because of the small loss, it can be said that the loss is not worth it.
Yang Xuandang was deeply worried about this matter. He knew that kicking him out of the election of Cao Qigui was just the first step for the emperor. His father's body was not cold. The emperor gave the Yang family a face, but he would definitely have a second step afterwards. The third step would be more cruel every time. Seeing that the emperor had dealt with the Dugu family, he knew that he was a person who was not missing the old love.
This can be seen from Yu Shiji's attitude. As soon as his father passed away, the Yang family's status plummeted. Yu Shiji no longer gave him any face. More importantly, Yu Shiji was able to guess the will of the holy, and his attitude also showed the priest's hatred for the Yang family from one aspect.
If His Highness the Crown Prince or Princess Leping is willing to plead for them, perhaps the emperor will spare the Yang family and no longer pursue them. But they have no face, but Yuan Qing can do it. It is this discovery that made Yang Xuangan feel full of annoyance.
"Third brother, what should I do?"
Yang Xuanzhuo is a wise and sensible person. When his father passed away, he specifically instructed him to take Yuan Qing back to the Yang family. He has been considering this issue in the past two years and his thinking is clear. Although he knows that this matter is difficult, at least he knows what to do?
Since the elder brother had already let go, of course he had to open a breakthrough from the elder brother and complete his father's instructions to him step by step. Yang Xuanzhuo was about to speak, but suddenly he found that the elder brother's book Tong Mingxin was standing next to the bookcase. From his perspective, his vision was just blocked by the bookcase, so Yang Xuanzhuo had never seen it.
He waved his hand and said angrily: "Get back!"
When Yang Xuangan turned around, he also saw Shutong and said softly: "You go down! You don't have anything to do here for the time being."
Raising a small book boy has been a habit of many powerful people since ancient times. This kind of trend has lasted forever. Most of these small book boys are smart and clever. They grind ink and paper, pour tea and pound their legs. They are very good at pleaseing the owner. They usually follow closely. Even in a wide carriage, they will sit aside. Therefore, it is very normal for Yang Xuangan to have a small book boy next to Yang Xuangan. This is nine years old this year. He is the illegitimate son of a maid and servant of the Yang family. He is not tall, has clear eyes and beautiful eyebrows and fair skin. He has been with Yang Xuangan for two years and is deeply favored by Yang Xuangan. Mrs. Zheng just asks her husband to raise a book boy, so this Mingxin is almost inseparable from Yang Xuangan.
Mingxin bowed very well and stepped down. Yang Xuangan smiled, "It's just a child, you continue talking."
Yang Xuanzhuo was a little worried about his eldest brother's wife, Mrs. Zheng. Yuan Qing returned to the Yang family. She must be a huge obstacle. But the eldest brother was still a little scared. He was helpless and had to continue: "The first step is to get the support of the family members. You can convince them one by one. First, I can start with our brothers. I will convince him on Xuan Zong. Like Ji Shan, it is not a big problem for thousands of years, especially Ji Shan. His son Yang Wei has always followed Yuan Qing. I heard from my wife that Ji Shan has never said a bad word about Yuan Qing in the past two years."
A sentence reminded Yang Xuangan that his father put Wei'er next to Yuan Qing, because he thought that Wei'er could become a key piece for Yuan Qing to return to the Yang family. Now he has to admire his father's long-term vision. Who would have thought that Yuan Qing and Wei'er had fought since childhood, but when they grew up, they became the closest brother. He still remembered the situation when Ji Shan dragged Wei'er to complain to him.
"Weier is back this time, right?"
"I'm back, I saw him yesterday."
Yang Xuangan nodded, "I want to have a good talk with him!"
Yang Xuangan smiled at his brother again and said, "You continue to say, what is the second step?"
"The second step is my sister-in-law."
In the past two years, the Yang family gradually lost power, while the Zheng family gradually gained power. Zheng Yi's third son Zheng Yuan won the title of his father, Duke Pei, and was named the Imperial Priest, in charge of the education of the Great Sui Dynasty. This is a position with quite real power. Compared with the neglect in front of the Yang family, the traffic in front of the Zheng family gradually became lively.
My parents' family will always be the backstage and power of a woman. The Zheng family has gained power to make Mrs. Zheng's waist straighter and speak harder. In fact, what a woman thinks about is her husband and children, and Mrs. Zheng is no exception. The marriage between her two sons and her daughter's sweet girl is always her most worried about.
The girl has grown up and needs to start considering her marriage. This is not urgent. What she is worried about is the future of her two sons. She hopes that the eldest son can be transferred back to the capital to be an official by her side and achieve better development. Compared with the eldest son, the future of the second son Ronger is the most heartbreaking for her. She is a man in his twenties who is still fighting for dogs and horses, not doing his job, and is mixed with a group of playboys.
It has been more than a year since my daughter-in-law got married and she had no movement at all. Mrs. Zheng initially thought that her daughter-in-law could not have children. Later, she asked her daughter-in-law and found out that her son had sex with her wife on the wedding night, and she never got married again. The daughter-in-law cried to her that her son had always been obsessed with famous brothels, which made Mrs. Zheng both hated and angry, but could not do anything about it.
In the final analysis, she thought that her son had no official position and had no position, so she felt so depressed. She began to put pressure on her husband, ordering her husband to transfer his eldest son back to Beijing within this year and get a job for his second son.
In the morning, Mrs. Zheng heard that Yu Shiji came to praise her father-in-law for the second time, and believed that her husband must have told him about his two sons' service. As soon as her husband returned to the study, Mrs. Zheng couldn't wait to go out.
As soon as she walked to the gate of the yard, she happened to see her husband's little book Tong Mingxin running towards her. She knew that Mingxin must have something important to report to her.
Of course, Mrs. Zheng also knew very well that raising a book boy was a disgusting thing for her husband, but the court was so in this way that she could not interfere too much. However, she soon discovered the great role of this book boy. With this book boy, she could know her husband's words and deeds. Under her coercion and temptation, the little book boy Mingxin quickly became her eyes and ears.
"lady!"
Mingxin ran over panting and said, "The master just talked about Yang Yuanqing with the third master."
Mrs. Zheng stipulated three matters that must be reported immediately and eight things that can be reported later. Ming Xin also knew that his life was in the hands of Mrs. Zheng, so he had always loyally monitored Yang Xuangan's words and deeds for Mrs. Zheng.
The three major matters that Mrs. Zheng must report immediately to Mingxin are: the relationship between her husband and the woman outside; the matters involving her mother's family; and the matters of Yang Yuanqing.
Today, Brother Yang Xuangan talked about Yang Yuanqing's incident, and Mingxin immediately came to report to Mrs. Zheng.
"What did they say?" Mrs. Zheng's face immediately sank. Her husband didn't talk about the future of his two sons' official positions, but mentioned the illegitimate son, which made her extremely dissatisfied.
This is a kind of jealousy in people. If Yang Jun and Yang Rong get along well, they are proud in the officialdom, and their careers are as bright as a success, and Yang Yuanqing gets in a down-and-out situation, then her husband will not care too much about Yang Yuanqing when he mentioned Yang Yuanqing, because she has psychological advantages.
But her son was not satisfied with his career, but Yang Yuanqing was in a prosperous state. The general manager, the count, the Kaifu Yi and the three departments were famous all over the world. Each of them made her extremely jealous. The more famous Yang Yuanqing became, the more incompetent her son seemed. This huge psychological gap made her feel hostile to Yang Yuanqing.
"Go to the room and tell me in detail what they said?"
Mrs. Zheng took Mingxin into the yard. At this time, the second son Yang Rong flashed out from behind a big tree. Yang Rong came to ask her mother for money. She saw Mingxin saying something to her mother from afar and vaguely mentioned Yang Yuanqing's name. He felt aroused in his heart and remembered what Xiahou Yan had ordered him. Xiahou Yan was quite interested in Yang Yuanqing.
Yang Rong was determined to please Xiahou Yan, so he accelerated his pace and followed into the yard.
In the carriage, Yang Zhao was sitting on the wall of the carriage without disturbing Yang Yuanqing's contemplation. It can be seen that Yang Yuanqing was still immersed in his grief for his grandfather.
Yang Zhao was also thinking about his own affairs. Yesterday, the emperor went to plead for his father. The emperor agreed to stay in Luoyang for another month. He had too many things to do this month. The most important thing was that he wanted to consolidate his position as the prince. After a few years of silence, his brother Yang made a strong comeback and was aggressive. But at this time, an old doctor found out that the reason for his obesity was actually a disease, a disease that was difficult to cure, which meant that he would not live for a few years.
His condition has been leaked, which has led to more and more important officials supporting King Qi. It is obvious that if he dies, his father will only be the King of Qi, and he will be the position of crown prince.
Moreover, the special emphasis of the father's favor to the King of Qi over the past year also shows this. It is not what the emperor said, the prodigal son turned back, but the father was already considering the adoption of power in the Eastern Palace after his death.
Yang Zhao also had despair and sad for a long time, but now he has been freed from his life and death. If his death is unavoidable, then he must leave something for his three sons.
Yang Zhao's three sons, the eldest son Yang, was named King of Yan, the second son Yang Tong, was named King of Yue, and the third son Yang You were named King of Dai. The three sons were all his hopes and a continuation of his bloodline. If King Qi ascended the throne, they would inevitably be killed by King Qi.
After thinking deeply for a long time, Yang Zhao decided to leave the position of crown prince to his eldest son. Even if he died, he would let his father make the crown prince, rather than make the King of Qi the heir.
For half a year, he has been looking for support, but Yang Zhao did not dare to contact the court officials too much, for fear of arousing suspicion from his father. In the past six months, he has not come into contact with many people. The emperor's aunt Yang Lihua expressed his support to him. Because Wei was the princess's mother's home, he also strongly supported him, while Pei Jie implicitly expressed his support to him to a certain extent. For example, the Guanlong nobles, he did not dare to contact him.
Early this morning, he received a message from the emperor and went to Yang Yuanqing to support Yang Yuanqing. Only then did he realize that Yang Yuanqing was back. Yang Yuanqing was promoted to Fengzhou General Manager at a young age. In time, he would be reduced to an important military official. This is his confidant he would win over no matter what.
At this time, Yang Yuanqing had gradually recovered from the sadness of worshiping his grandfather. Seeing that Yang Zhao was frowning, he asked with a smile: "Your Highness is worried all the way, do you have any worries?"
"Nothing? A random thought."
Yang Zhao didn't want to tell Yang Yuanqing about his condition yet. He smiled and asked, "Yuanqing, where are you living now?"
"Bizhi lives in Fengdu, in a Sogdian friend's shop."
"Then you can move to my capital, Beppu! The house is big and it's been closed."
Generally, the prince should live in the East Palace and his daily life and travel are very strict, but Yang Zhao lives in the East Palace in Chang'an, Xijing. There is no palace in Xinyang in Luoyang. He can only live in Beppu, the capital like a prince, without enjoying the treatment of the prince at all. Yang Yuanqing has heard of this in Wuyuan County.
He shook his head and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness. I'm just going to sacrifice to my grandfather's tomb tomorrow. I will return to the border the day after tomorrow. I will only stay for two nights at most. I don't want to move again, for fear of trouble."
"All right!"
Since Yang Yuanqing was leaving the day after tomorrow, Yang Zhao didn't force himself. He smiled and said, "Then you come to my mansion tomorrow night and I will set up a family dinner. We will talk about the past, so you won't be allowed to postpone it."
Yang Yuanqing thought about it and it happened to be nothing tomorrow night, so he nodded and agreed, "I will definitely come tomorrow."
