Chapter 166: Court Discussion (2)
The so-called one person ascended to heaven, and since Yang Yuhuan was canonized as a concubine, the Yang Sect has been bathed in the vast imperial grace of Emperor Xuanzong.
Yang Yuhuan's adoptive father, Yang Xuanjian, had already been promoted from the position of Henan Prefecture Shicao to join the army in the army because of his adopted daughter in his early years, and he was suddenly promoted from a seventh-grade official to a fourth-grade official, which can be described as a big bargain! However, at this time, he had already passed away, and there was no need to be promoted again.
Yang Yuhuan's biological parents died early, and now their daughter has become a concubine, although they are in the tomb, they naturally have to posthumously give it to show their glory. Li Longji gave his father the secretary of the military department, and his mother was Mrs. Liangguo. Yang Yuhuan's father was only an official to Shuzhou Sihu before his death, at most a seven-grade official, and now the couple are enjoying the rank of the third grade underground, but unfortunately people and ghosts have different paths, but they have become the vanity of the family living in the world.
Yang Yuhuan also has an uncle Yang Xuanqi alive, who was the official order of Guanglu Temple at this time, and Li Longji promoted him to Guangluqing.
Yang Yuhuan's own brother Yang Quan, was appointed as a young eunuch in the palace, for the fourth rank, and his cousin Yang Qi, that is, the son of his uncle Yang Xuanqi, is now serving the imperial history, when Yang Yuhuan was canonized as a concubine on the second day, Li Longji ordered Yang Qi to marry Princess Taihua, the youngest daughter of Concubine Wu Hui, and Yang Qi became the commander of the concubine.
And Yang Guozhong, the prime minister who will be powerful in the future, should still be called Yang Zhao at this time, but he is just a soldier in Jin Wuwei who joined the army.
However, although Yang Zhao's official position is humble, he is extremely good at drilling camps, since entering Jin Wuwei, Yang Zhao has the right to freely enter and exit the interior, and after getting this convenience, Yang Zhao gave full play to his long-sleeved and good dancing communication ability.
In the palace, often in the name of greetings close to the concubine, carefully serve Xuanzong, to his liking, and at the same time maintain a good relationship with the chief of the inner Gao Lishi, in the court, then do everything possible to tie up the ministers, the ministers in the court saw that Yang Yuhuan was so favored, and naturally willing to deal with this bold uncle.
For this reason, although Yang Zhao's quality is not high now, his influence in the court is much greater than that of Yang Yuhuan's brothers.
In addition, he often goes in and out of the forbidden area, and has many more opportunities to see the face of heaven than ordinary people, and the impact on Emperor Xuanzong is naturally much greater than that of ordinary courtiers.
Therefore, in this struggle, Yang Zhao will become the key to the competition between the two sides!
The carriage traveled slowly, and it took nearly an hour to finally come to Yang Zhao's house.
"Master, Qian Xiaojing, the head of the Qian family in Jiangdong, is asking to see him outside the mansion!" Yang Zhao's housekeeper came in to report.
"Oh, Jiangdong Qian's?" Yang Zhao heard this, waved his hand and signaled the maid who was changing his clothes to step back, and said in surprise.
Shangyuan has just passed, although it is already spring, but the snow in Chang'an City does not have the slightest appearance of melting, the weather is still cold, the fire dragon under the floor of the house is burning vigorously, Yang Guozhong, who has lost his fur coat, although he is only wearing a silk gown, he will not feel cold.
Yang Zhao is more than seven feet long, with a slender figure, a three-inch short beard on his face with Chinese characters, and a pair of Danfeng eyes revealing bursts of essence.
"Is this Jiangdong Qian clan very big?" Yang Zhao said to the other person in the room.
"It's very big!" The person who answered was a middle-aged scribe in a navy blue Confucian shirt, whose surname was Tang Wenbo.
The name is good, but unfortunately this person's literary talent is really not brilliant, and he has participated in the imperial examination for many years, but he still has not gained the slightest. Just when Yang Zhao made his fortune, this person took the initiative to come to take refuge, Yang Zhao saw that this person had read, and there was no one around him who was literate and literate, so he accepted him as a staff member.
Later, Tang Wenbo also came up with a lot of ideas for Yang Zhao, and made a lot of contributions to Yang Zhao, so he won Yang Zhao's trust.
"How old?" Yang Zhao asked with a wink at Tang Wenbo.
Tang Wenbo knew that this was Yang Zhao's snobbery again, and he didn't mind, and then replied: "The Jiangdong Qian clan can be traced back to Qian Hao, the king of Wuyue, but now the Qian clan is the sixtieth ancestor. ”
Tang Wenbo shook his head lightly, slowly hanging the bookbag, enjoying Yang Zhao's adoring eyes, which was what he was most willing to do.
"That's more than five hundred years!"
Yang Zhao's arithmetic is still good!
Tang Wenbo bowed slightly.
"Then he came today to do Sazi?" Yang Zhao tilted his head and thought about it, and unconsciously said the Chinese dialect in Shuzhong.
Tang Wenbo didn't dare to talk nonsense this time, so he just said to Yang Zhao with a mysterious face: "The proprietor might as well go and take a look, maybe there will be some special gains!"
It's not easy for the soup staff! When you are old, you have to pretend to be a ghost, otherwise the rice bowl in your hand will be smashed!
Yang Zhao smiled and nodded at him with his hand and said, "Mr. still likes mysteries so much, let a certain family guess for a while!"
"Okay! Then a certain family will go to meet this Jiangdong Qian family!"
After speaking, Yang Zhao asked the servant maid to change into another set of gorgeous clothes for him and went to the living room to meet the guests......
Half an hour later, Yang Zhao returned.
As soon as he entered the door, Yang Zhao said to Tang Wenbo excitedly: "Mr. is really clever!"
When Tang Wenbo heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, but he still maintained that mysterious smile on his face, and said lightly to Yang Zhao: "The proprietor, I don't know why this person came?"
"Haha! Since Mr. already knows it in his heart, why bother selling it again?" Yang Zhao said with a smile.
"I know a good guy!" Tang Wenbo scolded secretly in his heart, but his face still had that unfathomable expression, and he said to Yang Zhao flatly: "It's just a subordinate person in the next place, and these things naturally have to be said by the proprietor himself!"
"Haha!" Tang Wenbo's words can be regarded as greatly satisfying Yang Zhao's vanity, after Yang Zhao heard it, he raised his head and laughed twice, and then said to Tang Wenbo: "Mr. guessed really well! This Qian Xiaojing's intention is the same as that of the previous Wang family!"
"It's all for Zou Run's excerpt!"
Tang Wenbo nodded, looking like he had expected it, and then said after thinking about it: "Then this Qian Xiaojing is for ......."
"That's right! This Qian Xiaojing is here for that Laoshizi City Division! However, his purpose is exactly the opposite of the Wang family's, he wants to ask me to suggest to the Holy Lord that there should be no City Division, and if you want to collect taxes, you should let the household department yamen collect it!" Yang Zhao didn't wait for Tang Wenbo to finish speaking, and explained the matter clearly.
This saves the Tang staff from thinking blindly!
"Sir, who do you say we should promise?" Yang Zhao asked at Tang Wenbo, and then said to himself: "It is said that the one from the Taiyuan royal family is just a junior, but the thousand-year-old family is always thicker than the foundation of more than five hundred years, isn't it?"
"But this surname Qian really deserves to be surnamed Qian! Sir, do you guess how much people gave as soon as they made a move?" Yang Zhao looked at Tang Wenbo with a smug face, but saw that Tang Wenbo just shook his head slightly, so he stretched out his right hand and gestured in front of Tang Wenbo: "It's a full 50,000 yuan! This is just a deposit! No matter what the final result is, there will be 150,000 yuan after the matter is completed!"
"Tut-tut, good guy! Just a few words can make 200,000 yuan for nothing, which is much more profitable than winning a full house!" Yang Zhao said with excitement on his face.
"Sir, which side do you say we should promise?" Yang Zhao saw that Tang Wenbo was still silent, so he asked again.
Tang Wenbo stretched out his hand and touched the few loose long hairs on his chin, made a look of holding a wisdom bead, and said quietly: "Owner, we should come down on both sides!"
"Huh?" Yang Zhao hurriedly asked in surprise, "How do you do this?"
Tang Wenbo was still not in a hurry, and insisted on making a full gesture of divine calculation, and finally slowly spoke: "We can't afford to offend the power of the Taiyuan Wang family in Chang'an, since the eldest son of the head of the Wang family is here in person, if we don't help him and offend the Wang family, it will be difficult for the proprietor to do it in Chang'an City in the future!"
"But that surname Qian is different! Most of the Jiangdong Qian clan's forces are in the south, thousands of miles apart! Even if he offends them, does the proprietor still need to be afraid of them as the uncle of the dynasty?"
Yang Zhao nodded again and again when he heard this, and then asked: "Didn't Mr. say that we both agreed? The 50,000 guan given by this surnamed Qian can be accepted, if this is returned, this ......?"
Tang Wenbo naturally knew Yang Zhao's virtue, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said with relief: "Don't worry, the proprietor! This money was given by him willingly, so how can we have any reason to return it." And I just said that I want to go down to both sides, that is, to sue the proprietor, we can promise both sides, but we only do things for the Wang family, as for this money family...... The money is received and done!"
"Huh......? Isn't this inappropriate? A certain family is about credibility!" Yang Zhao said with his eyes rolling wildly, duplicity.
"If you still talk about credibility, the world would have been the same a long time ago!" Tang Wenbo secretly said in his heart.
"Alas, okay! After all, we can't afford to offend this Wang family!" Yang Zhao made the decision to betray the Qian family with a sad face.
The next day, that is, on the seventeenth day of the first month, Yang Zhao entered the palace on the pretext of sending some local property to the noble concubine, and stayed for two full hours before coming out.
On the 18th day of the first month, the officials who had finished the Spring Festival and Shangyuan Festival holidays officially resumed their work, and according to the usual practice, there was also a big court meeting on this day, after all, no one had taken care of the government for so many days, and the officials also had to take this opportunity to understand the major events of the court, and the emperor would also have to do a New Year's mobilization or something.
Therefore, the court meeting has been held for a long time in previous years, but the officials have rested for more than half a month, so they will not feel tired, and they should warm up for the work of the next year!
But this festival is different because basically everyone knows what is going to happen!
After more than half a month, instead of being forgotten, the twist and turn of Zou Run, a member of the household department, became more and more intense, and everyone could clearly feel that a storm was coming......
