Chapter 42 The heart of not being a minister
Chapter 42: Refusal to ask for recommendation votes
Yang Xuanbao returned to Yang's mansion in a heavy mood. Instead of looking for his elder brother Xuangan, he went back to his yard directly.
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Xuanbao's wife Zhou asked worriedly when she saw her husband's expression was wrong.
"Don't worry about me!"
Yang Xuanzhao walked into the study and threw the door heavily. He sat down at the desk. He was extremely bored. He was not worried about not being able to convince Yang Yuanqing, but Yang Yuanqing's words were deeply stinging him. All the root of the Yang family's problems lies in the emphasis on legitimate and over illegitimate. Of course, other aristocratic families also value legitimate and over illegitimate, but they will not suppress talents. If an excellent child of a gang family appears, they will train them carefully. Just like his father trained Yang Yuanqing back then, there is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate on major issues related to the rise and fall of the family.
But the legitimate sons of the Yang family regard valuing the legitimate and vassal as a shield to protect their own interests. Regardless of priorities, no matter whether it is important or small, they always regard valuing the legitimate and vassal as an example. Yang Wei was a general in the border area and became a general at a young age. However, the Yang family did not even give him a small house to such a promising young man. Is it really a rule for legitimate and vassal? I'm afraid it's because of personal gain!
Yang Xuanzhao sighed. If this lasts for a long time, the collapse of the Yang family is inevitable. With the emperor's suppression, it will not take three generations, and it will be over in their generation.
At this time, footsteps came from the yard, followed by the elder brother's voice, "Is Xuan Bao back?"
"He is in the study and seems to be in a bad mood!" His wife, Zhou, sighed.
Yang Xuanzhao got up and opened the door, "Brother, come in!"
Yang Xuangan was anxiously waiting for news about his second brother, but he couldn't wait around, but heard from his family that he had returned to his yard directly, which made Yang Xuangan feel a little dissatisfied.
"Did he refuse?" Yang Xuan felt that his brother's face was wrong, so he vaguely guessed the result.
"Brother sit down and talk!"
The two brothers sat down, Yang Xuangan stared at the brothers and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
Yang Xuanzhuo took out the red envelope and pushed it back to the elder brother, and smiled bitterly: "Brother, I'll give it back to you."
"Does he think the money is too low?" Yang Xuangan asked coldly.
Yang Xuanbao shook his head, "He didn't see it at all. In fact, it was not a matter of money, but our family could no longer accommodate him."
"What do you mean?"
"Brother, he is now the General of Zuo Xiaowei and Duke of Wuyuan County. On the way back, I also received a news that he has been named Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, and is above you. What position can the Yang family give him when you come back? Is it possible?"
When Yang Xuangan heard that Yuan Qing was actually named Yin Qing Guanglu Doctor, and was above him, anger suddenly ignited from his heart. How could his son be more entrusted than his father? Where did he put his face?
Yang Xuangan immediately said angrily: "What position does he want? I just need him to admit his Yang family's children and come back on time to attend family sacrifices. This is enough. Does he still want to be the head of the family? This is absolutely impossible!"
Yang Xuanzhao sighed and said, "Brother, let me tell you something! You know it's impossible."
"What's up?"
"In a few days, he will be twenty years old. He should worship his ancestors when he is young. This is also the reason why my elder brother wants him to come back, right?"
"That's right, does he want to pick up the words by himself?" Yang Xuangan asked in annoyance.
Yang Xuanbao shook his head, "Just this morning, he came back to meet the saint. The emperor has given him the name "Huqing". Brother, you didn't expect it!"
With a punch, Yang Xuangan slammed hard on the table, his eyes shot out of his deep hatred, and a sentence burst out from his teeth, "What the hell does he want!"
"He just wanted to confiscate our Hongnong Yang family and exterminate our family and exile them all to the border!" A hateful voice came from the door.
When the two brothers turned around, they saw the third brother Yang Xuanzong walking in. Yang Xuanzong was the general of the capital's eagle Yang Mansion. Among all Yang Su's sons, he was the most intelligent. Yang Su always praised him for understanding the truth and understanding the overall situation.
Yang Xuanzong closed the door, walked up and sat down and said, "I have seen it long ago that he suppressed our Yang family because he was not as simple as fearing his father. His father has passed away for two years and is as fragile as paper. His old friends in the court have long been cold to the Yang family. Except for the eldest brother, no other Yang family's children have served as high-ranking officials and generals. Why do he still fear and suppress the Yang family so much? Don't you think it's a bit unreasonable?"
"Then what's the problem?"
Yang Xuangan also felt that the brothers were right. Yang Guang's meanness and suppression of the Yang family have always made him dissatisfied. He thought that Yang Guang was afraid of his father's influence. Yang Xuanzong's statement made Xuangan suddenly realize that Yang Guang did have ulterior motives.
Yang Xuanzong glanced at the two brothers and lowered his voice: "I think it was Yang Guang who wanted to confirm the genealogy and clearly define the Yang family as the Hongnong Yang family. Our real Yang family became his biggest obstacle, so he wanted to get rid of us. His methods were very hidden. First, he publicly suppressed the Yang family and prevented his father's old officials from approaching us. When the time was ripe, he would concoct a crime for the eldest brother, plotting against rebellion or being unjust, just like destroying the Zhang family, letting our group completely eliminate it. Then Hongnong Yang family became the puppet in his hand, and he would do whatever he wanted to change the genealogy."
Yang Xuangan was silent. Yang Xuanzong's words hit his mind. He had this idea for a long time, but it was not very clear. Now with the analysis of his brothers, Yang Guang's sinister intentions gradually surfaced.
The Yang family of the royal family wanted to confirm that the clan was the Hongnong Yang family. This branch was indeed the biggest obstacle. Now the Yang family of the royal family was in a very embarrassing situation. The late emperor once announced that the Yang family of the royal family originated from Hongnong, but because of the existence of his father, the Yang family of the royal family became a little better. However, the current emperor Yang Guang was determined to promote sinicization, and the mixed identity of the royal family became a laughing stock. Therefore, confirming the status of the royal family as a Han family has become a top priority. It seems that it is their existence that hindered Yang Guang's plan.
"In your opinion, how should we deal with it?" Yang Xuangan asked worriedly.
Yang Xuanzong stared at his brother and said slowly: "Brother, we have no way out in fact. We either wait for him to destroy it, or we can only...."
Before Yang Xuanzong could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yang Xuanzhuo, "If this is the case, we can resign and return to our hometown and be a rich man. In this way, he might let us go."
"Second brother, don't be stupid. Even if he returns to his hometown to be a rich man, he will destroy us, and it is even easier. Only silence is the best solution. He is an emperor and will never have any compassion."
"But... it's not realistic to cause trouble!"
Yang Xuangan paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, frowning in a ball. He understood what his third brother meant. If it was really because of the clan, then their only way to protect themselves was to rebel, but this.

Is it possible? The Yang family has nothing to do, so what to do to fight against the imperial power is undoubtedly a hit of a stone with eggs.
"Brother, we are not going to do things now, but we are waiting for opportunities!"
"Opportunity?" Yang Xuanzhao sneered, "Where is the chance?"
"have!"
Yang Xuanzong said affirmatively: "This time Yang Guang defeated Yuanshou and destroyed the Zhang family. Everyone of Guanlong nobles was in danger. I dare say that many of them had the intention of being unjust. If Yang Guang continued to suppress them, someone would inevitably be forced to rebel. When the Guanlong nobles responded, our opportunity would come."
Yang Xuangan pondered for a long time and said to the two brothers: "Only the three of us brothers know what we said today. We must not tell the fourth person, and we cannot even say the wife beside the pillow. Do you remember?"
Xuan Zhuan and Xuan Zong both nodded, and Xuan Zhuan asked again: "What should Yuan Qing do?"
Yang Xuan sighed and said, "As you said, Yang Guang even said his word ", so I have anything to say, let him go!"

Yang Xuan returned to his yard with a heavy mood. His wife Zheng secretly hid behind the door and looked at her husband's face. When she saw her husband holding a red envelope in her hand, she couldn't help but be happy. Yang Yuanqing did not accept the congratulations of the Yang family, which meant that he would not return to the Yang family, which made Zheng quietly relieved. He knew very well that once Yang Yuanqing returned to the Yang family, it would definitely seriously threaten her son's status. He refused to come back, which was the best.
Zheng walked into the yard and asked her husband hypocritically: "Does Yuanqing's child refuse to come back?"
For some reason, Yang Xuangan was extremely disgusted with the Zheng family at this time. The ice was three feet long, which was not a day long. Ninety percent of the conflict between Yang Yuanqing and the Yang family were caused by his wife. For the benefit of her son, she drove away her other son.
Yang Xuangan glanced at her coldly, "Will Yuan Qing refuse to come back just to fulfill your wish?"
Zheng's eyebrows were raised and his eyes widened, and he said, "What do you mean? What does it have to do with him if he doesn't come back? It seems to be my responsibility. Please make it clear!"
Yang Xuangan ignored her and went straight into his study. Zheng was furious. Her husband dared to ignore her. It was absolutely inappropriate. She stepped forward and knocked on the door with her fist, "Open the door for me and make it clear!"
After a while, Yang Xuangan's cold voice came from the study, "Get out!"
Zheng was stunned. They had been married for more than 20 years, and her husband had never asked her to get out. Today she actually asked her to get out. She took two steps back and suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll get back to my parents' home. Don't beg me!"
She turned around and went to pack up her things angrily.
In the study, Yang Xuangan seemed to have no idea. He took out an iron box from a secret cabinet on the wall and placed it on the table. He slowly opened it with great devout reverence. In the box was a letter, which was his father's last words. He took out the letter and slowly opened it. The familiar handwriting of his father Yang Su appeared on the letter.
"Now the emperor wants to destroy the Yang family for a long time. If I go first, the Yang family should keep a low profile and not give it a handle. Wait for the change of the weather. If the world is in chaos, you can disperse your family's wealth and recruit troops from Shandong to seek great things. The foundation of the Sui Dynasty is in Guanlong. The people of Shandong are not attached to each other. One call can respond to a hundred times. You use Qi army to plan the Central Plains inside, Yuan Qing raises troops outside, and agrees with the internal and external. You should take the Sui family's world. Guanlong Yang is destroyed and Hongnong Yang Xing is in peace. I can also keep my eyes open under the nine springs. You must remember that when the world is in chaos, the old Guanlong clan must attack first. You cannot stand up as the leader. Remember! Remember!"

In history, after Yang Su's death, the Yang family was repeatedly suppressed. It is very likely that in the Yang Su era, the Yang family had the intention of being unjust. Yang Guang saw that at the beginning of the fifth year of Daye, the Yang family had the intention of rebelling, but it was stopped because the time was not ripe.
