Chapter 203: Should I Reveal or Should I Hide

That's a tricky question!

Even Jiang Chengzi couldn't answer for a while.

She looked up at the people present. Li Ke frowned, and Zhang Jia also froze, but still didn't speak. As for Yao Ziqiu, he was still as quiet as a glass of water, without any waves. However, Yang Qingrang seemed to be thinking on his face.

Yang Shuyue looked embarrassed, and asked Chai Shao for advice very uncertainly: "This, I don't know what Your Majesty means." If you say that you are married from the Hongnong Yang family, but when the old lady asked me to take up the post of county Cheng before, she said that my Yang family's six rooms are divided. When her daughter got married, she didn't dare to bother the ancestral house. In this way, he should marry from the sixth room of the Yang family. It's justβ€”"

When Yang Shuyue said this, he stopped, as if he was considering the words.

"But what? Yang Xiancheng said it was okay. Chai Shao asked.

"I just thought that the eldest daughter, Ayu, was married to the current crown prince. If you marry from the sixth room of the Yang family, it will be too shabby. Yang Shuyue pondered for a moment and replied hesitantly.

When Yang Wang heard this, he immediately shouted anxiously: "Master, don't say that." Those who don't know still think that Ayu has not yet married, and you are begging for wealth and wealth. ”

"I, I didn't think much of it. Yang Shuyue's face became very uneasy, and he explained a little incoherently, "General Chai, I, in the next, don't mean that." It's just Your Majesty, this question is really difficult to answer. ”

"You don't have to worry about it. His Majesty asked this, and he had no other meaning. I just want to ask the two of them where they want to get married, and the royal family can make arrangements. Chai Shao immediately answered, and then comforted, "As far as Ling Lang and Ling Yan's talents and wealth are well deserved, Mrs. Yang should not worry." ”

"Not a worry. In fact, I don't know how this matter will be. If you are not careful, you always have to leave gossip. Yang Wang sighed.

Chai Shao also nodded and said, "I understand the two scruples. However, this matter is a matter of the children's family, so there is really no need to worry too much. ”

"Actually, there is a way to have it both ways. Jiang Chengzi remained silent for a long time, and decided to jump out to stir up the situation and expose the matter.

"Azhi Mo wants to talk nonsense. Yang Qingrang immediately reprimanded.

Jiang Chengzi pursed his lips and said, "How can I talk nonsense? It's that you guys are thinking too complicated. Isn't it just that the eldest sister is married? How can the ancestors forget? But since the Yang family's six rooms have been separated, it is natural to marry from our six rooms. Besides, as soon as this Gewu Academy was established, my father and brother took on the credit. Gewuyuan's various technologies that can allow the people of the world to live a prosperous life as a dowry, who can say that my Yang's six rooms are shabby and unworthy of the East Palace?"

". More and more unorthodox. Yang Shuyue scolded, and immediately said to Chai Shao, "Azhi is smart, but he just doesn't care about what he says." Alas, this matter is really nerve-wracking. ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. What Ah Zhi said is extremely true. The six rooms of the Yang family are from the Hongnong Yang family, even if they do not marry from the ancestral house of the Hongnong Yang family, they must first worship the ancestors of the Hongnong Yang family. After that, he married from the sixth room of the Yang family, which was very good, very good. Chai Shao admired it, and glanced at the girl in front of him, but he couldn't see any calculating ingredients, that pair was really clean and clear that was rare in the world, and it was simply innocent.

Originally, this question just now was to test the position of the Yang family's six rooms. Test whether they are willing to dissociate themselves from the Hongnong Yang family, who has been preparing to move in private, and concentrate on assisting the East Palace. Of course, he also knows that it is a terrible thing to abandon the protection of his family and mix in officialdom alone.

Even if the Yang family's six rooms have earth-shattering abilities, they may not dare to give up the family's protection, although the results of His Majesty's previous investigation showed that the Yang family's six rooms were really having a hard time in the ancestral house.

How many people dream of coming from a famous family, even if they are not from a famous family, they also think of a way to get involved with a famous family, proving that their status is not low, and there are people behind them.

Now, His Majesty has thrown a difficult problem in front of the Yang family's six rooms.

Chai Shao didn't believe that the Yang couple from a famous family didn't understand what Li Shimin's question meant. He knew that the couple must have understood the stakes, so he hesitated to speak.

This is the tricky question. But this girl doesn't know if she is a child, or she is quite scheming, and she can answer the tangled and thorny questions in just a few words.

Yes, the six rooms of the Yang family have been separated, and there is no need to go back to the ancestral house to marry a daughter as usual. But you can't forget your roots, you always have to go back to your ancestral house to worship your ancestors, and let your ancestral home send someone to marry.

Chai Shao suddenly felt that this question was so simple, and he and Li Shimin had laughed at it before that they would definitely be able to find out the position of the Yang family's six rooms. Is it too complicated for you, or is it easier for children to see things?

He looked at her eyes, and he really couldn't see the slightest calculation after reading countless people.

"This, our six rooms are at the mercy of His Majesty's arrangement-" Yang Shu stopped the more he wanted to speak.

Chai Shao also nodded and said, "Since Yang Xiancheng has expressed his position like this. Then I will convey His Majesty's intentions. Previously, His Majesty thought about it again and again, and also suggested that Miss Ruyu marry from the sixth room of the Yang family. ”

"But Jinyuan County is far away from Chang'an, and the delay on this road is too long, and it may not be peaceful on this road, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" asked Yao Ziqiu, who had been sitting silently.

Chai Shao said with a smile: "Second son Yao don't have to worry about this. The marriage of children is not in a hurry. Moreover, with the merits of the Yang family's six rooms, does the second prince think that Yang Xiancheng will continue to take office in this small town?"

"Ah, listening to General Chai's words, isn't Yang Xiancheng going to be promoted?" Yao Ziqiu asked in surprise.

Chai Shao didn't answer, but he said to Yang Shuyue: "Congratulations to Yang Xiancheng." His Majesty ordered to bring a holy decree, and after the New Year, the new Jinyuan County Governor will come to take office. After the handover of Yang County is completed, he must rush to Chang'an before February to serve as the right waiter of the Ministry of Works, and be responsible for the preparation of the Gewu Academy. ”

"I'm really going to be promoted! Congratulations to my uncle. Zhang Jia stood up and congratulated.

For a moment, the room was filled with congratulatory voices.

Chai Shao squinted slightly, and inadvertently looked at the smiling little girl on the side, who was completely an ordinary little girl.

Such a little girl is rumored to be amazing, right?

Chai Shao frowned slightly, thinking that before leaving, Li Shimin personally came to the mansion and said with a solemn expression. About the checks and balances of the emperor, about the relationship between father and son, and the possible influence of this daughter on the Tang Dynasty.

Or is he who has experienced the changes of Xuanwumen, a bit of a soldier, or is his rank too low?

Since he stepped into Shuzhong, he has always been cautious and tentative everywhere, and even his usual informal and chic style has changed. But under careful investigation step by step, he only felt that the legend of this woman in the outside world was really exaggerated. She's just a smart, innocent, little girl with extraordinary adventures.

If she is different from other little girls, it should be the natural beauty of being smart, intelligent and informal. It is an unforgettable girl, with the quiet beauty of the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River in March, and the bright sky full of stars, and sometimes I feel that it is the warm sunshine in March.

But to say that such a girl will endanger Datang is alarmist, right?

Perhaps, when His Majesty sees her, he will change his old opinion.

Chai Shao thought so, and he became more and more eager to see the year pass quickly, and when the sixth room of the Yang family arrived in Chang'an in the coming year, he would definitely lead her to see His Majesty in person.

Chai Shao's thoughts were flying, and he completely forgot about reading the holy decree. Waiting for Li Ke to ask politely: "Uncle, the promotion of officials has a lot to do with it, I don't know where the holy decree is?"

Chai Shao reacted at this time, laughed, and said: "I rarely be a messenger, I am really rusty, unfamiliar." ”

He laughed at himself as he read the decree.

Everyone knelt down, and after Yang Shuyue received the holy decree and enshrined it in the ancestral hall, he asked him many things.

For example, the position of the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry was not available before. This position was only set up in the Sui Dynasty, but there was only one squire in the Ministry of Industry. Now it's so divided.

Chai Shao explained that this was specially set up by His Majesty for the Gewu Academy, believing that although the Gewu Yuan is an independent institution, many things such as the establishment and operation of the Gewu Academy will involve the Ministry of Industry. Therefore, a waiter from the Ministry of Engineering was added to the Gewu Institute to manage the establishment of the Gewu Academy.

Another example is the examination and approval of the Gewu Academy.

Chai Shao also didn't know much about this, but said that His Majesty attached great importance to it, and the minister also supported it, and the Gewuyuan would definitely not be built as a grass platform.

Everyone was relieved, and Chai Shaocai said that now that the Tang Dynasty has been decided, the places are not peaceful, and this time the Qiang people's nest on Longyou Road has been uprooted, and the Turks are even more troubled. Therefore, for fear of the establishment of the Gewu Academy, the imperial court cannot be too extravagant and wasteful.

Jiang Chengzi secretly slandered himself, this Li Shimin is really a human spirit, and in the end, this abacus is still playing well, probably tasting the sweetness of raising funds proposed by the Gewu Academy before, and now he wants them to solve part of the funds on their own in the establishment of the Gewu Academy.

"We are mentally prepared for this. But please General Chai convey to Your Majesty that as long as the imperial court supports the establishment, we will definitely not cause trouble to the imperial court. Yang Shuyue replied.

Chai Shao shook his head and said, "Yang Xiancheng really misunderstood. His Majesty's intention is to say that the establishment of the Gewu Academy may not be as fast as imagined, after all, the imperial court is short of funds. Now none of you are outsiders, they are all measured. I'll get to the bottom of it. Last year, the Turks besieged Chang'an, although His Majesty wittily set the Weishui Alliance, but in the end it was a shame. The Turks also looted the granary treasury. ”

"This!" everyone was shocked.

Jiang Chengzi has long known from history that the Weishui Alliance is not an equal alliance, but the Turkic Jieli and the Turkic are cautious and timid and dare not encroach on Chang'an, afraid of the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks are a tribal combination and cannot work together, resulting in the lack of Turkic follow-up troops, so they had to retreat and sign the Weishui Alliance with Li Shimin.

On the surface, this Weishui alliance seems to be Li Shimin's wisdom, resisting the Turkic wolves with a small number of garrison troops, and using conspiracy to sign a peace treaty with the Turks. In fact, it was Li Shimin who had to secretly pay compensation for grain and pay for the so-called Turkic troops.

The truth of the humiliation is known only to the important ministers of the court. The people of the world only regard the majesty of the Son of Heaven, brave and wise, and they have no idea that the Taicang treasury of the Tang Dynasty has been emptied.

However, Jiang Chengzi was still shocked when he heard the news.

"The Turks took advantage of the fact that our army was fighting outside, and Chang'an mutinied and attacked suddenly, but it was actually sinister with sinister intentions. Sooner or later, we will have to settle their account, and we will have them to pay it back. Chai Shao said that later, the words became louder and louder.

Jiang Chengzi has been in the army for a long time, and when he heard what Chai Shao said, he couldn't help but boil his blood and said, "Yes, double it back." Not only their wealth, their territory, but also their people, and even their hearts. After that, they will all be subordinated to Datang. ”

She said generously, Yang Shu glanced at her more and said unhappily: "Ah Zhi, your daughter's family, don't talk about state affairs." Now, you are not only the ninth girl of my Yang family, but also the daughter of the Chai family. Your father-in-law and brother-in-law and your father's brother are all working in the imperial court, and you have to learn to think twice before you speak, and consider the consequences. ”

Jiang Chengzi muttered and muttered, "My stepmother is also a daughter's family, but women are not allowed to shave their eyebrows." Besides, what I said is the voice of the people of the Tang Dynasty, why can't I say it?"

"Are you still talking back?" Yang Wang reprimanded in a low voice.

"A-Niang, I'll tell you the truth. Think about it, take the current salt mine as an example, under the whole world, I have to have the Tang Dynasty. In the future, the things produced by our Gewu Academy will all be rare. The Tang Dynasty is rich, and all countries are coming to court, but they can't ask for it. Jiang Chengzi pursed his lips and said, "If I can't write in the future, I can still leap on the horse with a sword and gallop across the field." ”

"Hahaha, Azhi, that's how my daughter should be. When Chai Shao heard this, he laughed, and felt that if Xiuning was still alive, the daughter he gave birth to should be like this. He liked this girl more and more, so before the Yang couple opened their mouths to scold, they praised it first.

"My father-in-law has praised me. Jiang Chengzi said with a grin. I thought to myself, sure enough, I was much more comfortable with the soldiers.

"That's giving you face, and you don't know how to restrain yourself?" Yang Shuyue scolded.

Jiang Chengzi grimaced at his father, causing everyone to laugh. Chai Shao also smiled and asked, "Ah Zhi, I heard that you have martial arts?"

"Yes. Practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, protect oneself, and protect the weak. I think that I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, should practice martial arts. Jiang Chengzi replied.

Chai Shao nodded and said, "It's good that you have this idea." Moreover, my Chai clan, both men and women, also have to practice martial arts. I just saw the stake in your backyard, which is a little different from other places. I don't know if Ah Zhi has rules for practicing martial arts?"

"Because of my weak soul, I used to meditate with my teachers, eat and drink, and never learn martial arts. But sometimes I also watch my brothers and sisters practice martial arts, but the moves are biased towards self-cultivation, and they only learn the inner kung fu to strengthen the body. If it is against the enemy, it is not suitable. Therefore, these days, I am also blindly pondering the stakes, and sometimes I also practice with the eldest brother's teacher. Jiang Chengzi replied.

Chai Shao nodded, thinking slightly. Jiang Chengzi expected that this Chai Shao was afraid that he was going to test his kung fu.

However, what is the purpose of his kung fu when he tries to do it?

Jiang Chengzi was unpredictable for a while, so he hesitated if he was tempted, should he hide or reveal it? )
