Yang Guodong opened the car curtain and took a look outside the car. The streets were all decorated with lights and colorful decorations, which reminded him of the scene when he was a young scholar celebrating the New Year in Zunyi City more than 30 years ago. At that time, he was still sowing seeds.

The talented boy from a branch of the Yang family was considered to be the first Jinshi in the Yang family in Bozhou. Therefore, he gained the attention of the head of the family, Yang Yinglong, and invited two old people from Chongqing to be his teachers.

After Yang Guodong won the imperial examination, Yang Yinglong sent someone to Beijing to buy a house for him and asked him to go to Beijing to prepare for the Spring Palace Competition in the 29th year of Wanli.

But no one expected that the twenty-eighth year of Wanli would be the year of the destruction of the Yang family in Bozhou. On the sixth day of June of that year, Yang Yinglong, the head of the Yang family in Bozhou, committed suicide in Hailongdun Fortress. All seven of Yang Yinglong's sons were also captured.

The Yang family's rule in Bozhou came to an end in 724 AD.

Four months before the fall of Hailongdun, Yang Yinglong, who had already noticed that the situation was not good, sent people to escort some of the talented young people of the Yang family, including Yang Guodong, who had emerged from the fifth server, to several nearby chieftains.

Take refuge on the ground.

Yang Guodong is one of these talented people of the Yang family. He even remembers the scene when he said goodbye to Yang Yinglong. At that time, Yang Yinglong was already quite desperate. In the 28th year of Wanli, the Ming army had just finished the Korean War, and Liu Jingeng, the chief general who attacked Bozhou,

He was a famous general who conquered Korea twice. The Bozhou Army was extremely afraid of him and had no confidence in winning. When they parted, they even told Yang Guodong in tears that they must study hard and strive to be admitted as Jinshi first, and then find ways to revitalize Bozhou Yang.

Shi.

It's a pity that Yang Guodong's talent and learning are limited, and he is a descendant of the Yang family in Bozhou, which is avoided by official figures (there are tens of thousands of Yang family descendants in Bozhou, so if Yang Yinglong is on the fifth server, there will be no further investigation), so he failed in all competitions in Beijing three times.

Then he returned. In the end he could only live under the Shuixi'an family and became a diner.

Speaking of which, I feel a little ashamed of Yang Yinglong’s spirit in heaven!

crackling

The sound of firecrackers dragged Yang Guodong out of his memories of the past.

Yang Guodong asked casually: "Where are the firecrackers set off? What's the happy event?"

The person who answered him was a member of the Guiyang Prefecture named Ma Shiqu, with a look of helplessness on his face, "It was the Long Live Lord who took in two concubines at once, one is a girl from Shizhu's Ma family, and the other is a girl from Zhongzhou's Qin family."

This Ma Shiqu is related to Ma Shiying, who is now the prefect of Datong. They are both members of the Wei Ma family in Guizhou. The ancestors of the Wei Ma family in Guizhou are the old brothers of Zhu Yuanzhang and a member of Yizhen in Huainan. He entered Yingtian from Long in the late Yuan Dynasty and later followed Fu Youde.

, Lan Yu conquered the southwest, and after his success, he was appointed as the commander of the Guizhou Guard. Ma Shiqu's generation has been rich for more than 200 years. The Ma family has also changed from a border guard to a family of civil servants, and now it is prominent in central Guizhou.

.It’s just that the ancestral fighting skills have been completely lost, otherwise there would be no need for Zhu Youjian to come all the way to Zunyi?

Yang Guodong and Ma Shiqu had known each other since they were young. They were both talented people in the Guizhou Scholars School, and they went to Beijing to take the exam together twice. Although neither of them was in high school, they became close friends. So Yang Guodong acted as an envoy for An Wei.

, when he went to Zunyi Mansion to seek peace with the young emperor, he approached Ma Shiqu, who had a wide network of connections.

Ma Shiqu happened to be living in Zunyi Mansion at this time (Zunyi is the residence of the military governors of the four provinces and is relatively safe. Many wealthy families from Guizhou have taken refuge here), so he personally went to Shuidong and personally brought his old friend Yang Guodong to Zunyi.

"What? Taking in the daughters of the Shizhu Ma family and the Zhongzhou Qin family?" Yang Guodong was stunned, "Isn't this against the rules? Can the Ministry of Rites agree?"

The emperor of the Zhu family is not free to accept concubines. Old men who want beautiful women have to take charge of the cabinet. They have to ask the cabinet to draw up an edict.

In this series of checkpoints, the daughters of two great warlords will never be selected to become concubines.

Ma Shiqu sighed: "What are the rules? If Long live the Lord likes it, then he will take it. The people in the Ministry of Etiquette probably don't know it yet, right? By the time they know it, it will be ready for you!"

"How could this be possible?" Yang Guodong shook his head repeatedly, "How could Long Live Lord circumvent the cabinet? The Ministry of Rites is not a concubine, it is sexual immorality!"

There is a procedure for taking in a concubine. If you bypass this procedure, it is illegal and it is sexual immorality!

Ma Shiqu snorted: "Isn't it rare that our Long Live Master bypassed the cabinet and cooked the rice? Brother, you probably don't know yet? The Long Live Master didn't want the Ma family for nothing. The daughter of the Qin family has already

We have made a decree to establish a military and civilian commander of Shuixi after the conquest of Shuixi, which will be hereditary by the Ma family. In addition, we will also set up a military and civilian commander of Shuidong, who will be hereditary by the Qin family. This decree is also a central decree!"

"What?" Yang Guodong was shocked. Such a big matter can be handled by bypassing the cabinet. Isn't this a fool?

And how could the Emperor of Ming Dynasty accept the daughter of the Lord of Shuixi and Shuidong as his concubine?

Is this a good precedent?

The masters of Shuixi and Shuidong can be the emperor's father-in-law, so why can't the border generals do the same? If this continues, will the day when relatives of relatives will rule in the Ming Dynasty be far away?

It seems that Ming Dynasty really has a faint king!

When Yang Guodong was thinking of this, the carriage had already stopped in front of a large house with a large front and lanterns and colorful lights everywhere. The door was full of military warriors wearing red hoods.

The emperor's palace has arrived!

Ma Shiqu and Yang Guodong got off the car at the entrance of the palace. Ma Shiqu showed it with a token, and no one was given a ticket. Instead, he was invited in by a military officer with a fierce look on his face.

The mansion is the former residence of the head of the Bozhou Yang family in Zunyi City. The interior is very spacious. Today seems to be a festive day for the emperor to accept his concubine, so the interior of the mansion is also decorated in red.

Ma Shiqu and Yang Guodong followed the officer to the gate of the courtyard where the lobby was located, and were stopped again by the warriors in front of the tent.

They have to be inspected here and then wait for the call.

Yang Guodong stretched his neck and looked inside, finding that it was filled with officials wearing red official uniforms.

Ma Shiqu whispered to Yang Guodong: "Long live your concubine this time, although you have bypassed the cabinet, but it is a big deal in Sichuan. Chieftains, commanders, and generals from all over the country have sent people here. I heard that the nine princes in Chengdu are also here."

Come, Zunyi has never been so lively since ancient times!"

Yang Guodong sighed and said to himself: The little emperor is really a stupid king who does all kinds of things!

Just as I was thinking about it, a voice already shouted: "Yang Guodong, the Yang family of Xuanbo Prefecture, comes to the palace!"

Yang Guodong frowned: How can you mention the Bozhou Yang family? They have been extinct for more than 30 years.

Yang Guodong of the Yang family in Bozhou sighed and stepped into the courtyard. After entering, he found something was wrong. All the officials in the courtyard were staring at him!

What are they looking at?

Yang Guodong felt a little scared when he was looked at by a bunch of big men, but he still went to the lobby and saluted a high and mighty man. Before he could explain his purpose, Zhu Youjian had already spoken.

"Yang Guodong, although you are a scholar, you are willing to serve in the army and fight against thieves for the country. It is very much in my heart!"

Why are you begging for thieves for the country? Yang Guodong said to himself: I have already written a memorial about my intention to come and submitted it. Didn’t this foolish king read it?

Zhu Youjian went on to say: "In recent days, I have also investigated your Bozhou Yang family's rebellion against the imperial court more than thirty years ago. I found that although Yang Yinglong was arrogant and rude, he did not do anything arrogant, and the Yang family members followed him.

There are not many people in Yang Yinglong's rebellion. It is really inappropriate to punish the Yang family for Yang Yinglong's fault alone, and the punishment is too heavy. So now I have decided to restore the Yang family's Bozhou and divide it into several Fusi in the south of Zunyi.

The Bozhou Military and Civilian Command and Envoy Department has been established, and you, Yang Guodong of the Yang family in Bozhou, will serve as the commander, and you will be hereditary and irreplaceable!"

What? Yang Guodong is petrified!
