The Tang Dynasty, the first year of Zhenguan, that is, 627 A.D., the leap March, the synodic day, the solar eclipse.

In the historical classics of later generations, only a fluttering stroke was recorded in this astronomical spectacle that seemed ordinary to later generations. However, for the Hongnong Yang clan, who had long known about the possibility of a solar eclipse, this was a shocking event.

That night, Mrs. Yang, the head of the Hongnong Yang family, convened several leaders and held a secret family meeting to discuss the matter of Yang Minzhi, the sixth room of the Yang family.

Mrs. Yang told Yang Minzhi about the matter of Yang Minzhi from her birth to the prediction of the solar eclipse in leap March the day before yesterday. These people in charge are all old guys of Mrs. Yang's peers, and when they hear this, they are all like facing a great enemy.

"At that time, why didn't you make her a marryman?" someone suggested.

"After all, it's not cultivated from a young age. Moreover, Yang Wang's family is not a peaceful one, and the daughter he taught is certainly not a peaceful one. This kind of restless person, with strange powers, is always difficult to control. Mrs. Yang replied fluently.

"If it had been that day, and you had consulted with us, it would not have been today. No matter how talented she is, she is just a child after all. If we talk about the future of her father and brother and eldest sister, she will definitely cooperate with us. Moreover, the King of Han is a concubine and has great talents, so we don't need to provoke it, and the group of people of the eldest grandson Wuji will not let go of the King of Han. If she becomes the princess of Han and has special abilities, she will definitely help her husband, who is stronger than Yuan Shu. "One of the Yang people is in charge of the analysis.

The rest of the people thought so, and for a while, there were voices of complaints against the old lady.

"Yes, old lady does. It's Li Dai Taostiff again, if the East Window incident happens, he will be hit back by the enemy. Our Yang clan will deceive the king, and we will not be able to turn over completely. Someone pointed out sharply.

"Yes. Speaking of which, the old lady can't suppress the people in the sixth room with her own selfishness. After all, the one who can compete with you has long since turned to dust. The gray-haired gray-robed old man sitting in the corner said slowly.

Old Madam Yang was poked in pain, and shouted: "Presumptuous." I have always behaved and behaved, and in the spirit of respecting the Yang family, how could I have considered my selfishness?"

"The old lady didn't think about selfishness. That's the best. It's just that this Yang Minzhi is the best candidate, but the old lady ignores this fact. The gray-robed old man's voice was still calm.

Old Madam Yang looked displeased, snorted coldly, and asked rhetorically: "How is it the best?" Beautiful and elegant. Smart and demure. Etiquette and thoughtfulness. Minzhi was raised in the countryside, and she has been stupid for so many years. Moreover, the royal family does not like people who are touching immortals and provokes Buddha to enter the palace. ”

The old lady was wrong. I have heard that the queen's whole family believes in Buddhism, and her nickname is Guanyin. The old man in the gray robe seemed to have a hard time with Mrs. Yang, and refuted what the old lady said.

Everyone didn't speak, they just listened to the gray-robed old man and the old lady coming and going. Old Madam Yang was so blocked that she couldn't speak, so she was furious and shouted, "Yang Jinhe." You have the intention that you can't get along with me. ”

The gray-robed old man slowly stood up and chuckled, "So many years. What you have done, everyone has turned a blind eye, and now, when it comes to the fate of the Yang family, does the old sister-in-law still insist on going her own way?"

"What's the matter with me?" said Old Madam Yang panicked.

The gray-robed old man sneered and said, "Do you want me to say everything here?"

Old Madam Yang didn't speak, tried her best to steady, poured all her strength into the crutches, and stared at Yang Jinhe fiercely. After a long time, he said calmly: "Don't forget, the Guanwangfang is not the era of orphans and widows. ”

What else did the gray-robed old man have to say, but the bearded old man sitting on the second seat finally spoke: "Now is the time to twist into a rope, what are you two doing now?"

When Mrs. Yang heard this, she turned her face and sat down on the seat, ignoring Yang Jinhe. Yang Jinhe sat down in his seat.

Mrs. Yang re-cut to the topic, saying that she didn't choose Yang Minzhi because she couldn't control it.

"Uncontrollable? Didn't Fang just say that he was using his father, brother, eldest sister, and mother? How could this be uncontrollable?" Yang Jinhe retorted.

Old Madam Yang ignored it and said directly to the old man sitting in the second seat: "This girl is too shrewd, even if I talk to her, in the end, her words will be controlled by her unconsciously. She always gave people a sense of being out of control, a kind of horror. ”

"No, the old lady is wrong. This time, the speaker was Yang Gongren, who was idle at home, and he directly refuted his mother-in-law.

Old Madam Yang was stunned, she had long known that something was wrong with her son after he went to Luoshui Grange, and she also knew that her son was secretly guarding the Yang mother and daughter who looked quite similar to the dead moth. But he didn't expect his son to openly refute himself at this kind of family meeting that seemed to be thinking about the interests of the family, but in fact they had their own evil intentions.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Old Madam Yang sank her face.

Yang Gongren ignored it, but said directly: "The junior has seen that girl, she is smart, erudite, thoughtful, well versed in human feelings, and good at figuring out people's hearts. Because of the learning of immortals, they understand what people in the world do not understand. And she is a natural schemer, looking at the Yang family, there are very few people who can reach her level at her age. Even if you are here, if you compete with her, there may not be a few people who can win. I asked myself what I couldn't do. Therefore, her future is limitless, and if she is with the heroic Three Princes, the world may change dramatically. ”

The more Yang Gongren spoke, the more excited he became, like a fanatical dreamer, full of hope for the future.

"Presumptuous, I don't know how thick the sky is, do you know what you're talking about?" the old lady took the lead in scolding Yang Gongren. Then, he said slowly: "The chess pieces that cannot be controlled are waste chess." No matter how powerful she is, if she is separated from the Yang family, she will not be available. ”

"It's the juniors who are rude. But if we have the audacity to ask a rhetorical question: What is the point of this game if we can control the chess pieces but cannot play any role? What we want now is to win, to outperform the old aristocrats who are increasingly suppressing us, so whatever the chess pieces are, as long as they can pull them down, right?"

"You've lived for nothing, no wonder you've been kicked out of politics before. You don't know how terrible an uncontrollable pawn can be. At this point. I agree with the old lady. The old man sitting in the second seat spoke again, "The old man thought it was the old lady's selfishness before, but now I listen to you." I realized that the old lady was quite right. This woman is extraordinary, too uncontrollable, if she is sent to that position and joins forces with the three princes, in the future, she will overturn not only Guanlong upstarts, but also us. ”

Yang Gongren stopped talking, but he didn't think of this. His impassioned words. Under the Great Elder's questioning, it suddenly seemed like a huge joke.

Yang Gongren knew that he was no longer himself. has been up and down in officialdom for many years, shouldering his mother's expectations and the rise and fall of the Yang family. He was physically and mentally exhausted. He was disgraced due to the change in Xuanwumen, but he felt more relaxed and even had more time to think about the way to come and go. I also vaguely remember when I was young, I was full of spirits. Looking at the world, wolf smoke is everywhere. I want to change the world and make the people happy with my own strength.

But the later road seems to have gone crooked, specializing in Yu Eryu and self-deception, and intrigue.

However, when he saw Ah Zhi at Luoshui Grange, he suddenly remembered the current events of his youth. From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that this extraordinary girl would join forces with the three princes. For the first time, he even went against his mother's wishes and sent someone to protect the girl's safe arrival in Jinyuan County. For this. He also personally revealed the possible dangers of Ah Zhi to the third prince who concealed his identity, and let him maneuver through it. Protect her peacefully.

When he did these things, he really did not consider the interests of the Yang family. But to be honest, he didn't want to consider Yang's interests at all. Compared with the interests of the Yang family, he wants to see the world after this girl joins forces with the three princes. Or, in other words, he wants to see this girl and the third prince become the new masters of this world, even if he overthrows the Yang family, why not?

Yang Gongren knew that his thoughts were very rebellious, even if he was under Jiuquan in the future, he would have no face to face his ancestors. But he couldn't help but think that he thought that the world would be very tempting.

"Indeed, the girl is uncontrollable. Didn't the old sister-in-law do anything?" the second elder didn't speak until now. He has always been aware of the powerful methods of this concubine of the Xiao family. And in this kind of elders' meeting, there is no need to hide it. So, he asked straight to the point.

Old Madam Yang didn't seem surprised by such a question, and said directly: "I am doing something for the Guanwang lineage." ”

"What the result?" the second elder asked, but there was schadenfreude in his tone. Because he knew that if the old woman in front of him had already dealt with it, he would never let anyone know about it, so how could he hold a meeting to discuss it.

Old Madam Yang coughed twice, then glanced at Yang Gongren and said, "Someone is making a hindrance and protecting that girl." ”

These elders were all human spirits, and with the eyes of Old Madam Yang, she knew that she was talking about Yang Gongren.

Yang Gongren didn't expect his mother to be so ruthless, this was to kick him out of the Council of Elders. However, it's better to kick it out, and don't worry about the scarred Yang family.

"You're not too young, why are you going back to work like this?" the Great Elder asked puzzled. In his impression, Yang Gongren was sensitive and studious when he was young, quite talented, and was the leader of the Yang family's generation, so he was allowed to take charge of the Yang family in Guanwangfang and even the entire Hongnong Yang family. Later, the ups and downs of the two dynasties were also like fish in water. Although the change in Xuanwumen is implicated, he is idle at home, and it shouldn't be like this.

Yang Gongren didn't defend either, just chuckled lightly and said, "I'm afraid you don't know, long before the old lady Li Dai Taozhuang, the third prince met with that girl. The third prince concealed his identity and did not say it explicitly. But because I wanted to deal with this woman before, I came to visit me personally. The elders also know that although Concubine Yang Shu is fostered in the Guanwang Mansion, she has never had anything to do with the Yang family since she went to Taiyuan and married the current one. ”

When everyone heard this, they were shocked, and they all looked at the old lady, and the eldest elder frowned, straightened his white beard and asked, "Old sister-in-law, I'm afraid you're not doing this properly." ”

"How is it wrong? What about their acquaintance? The birthday sticker is nameless. The old lady snorted coldly.

"Won-sook is a few years older than Ah Zhi. Yang Gongren said.

"Shut up. The old lady shouted, "In a few years, who will be able to see it? ”

Yang Gongren ignored the old lady's anger, and only said: "It's true that Azhi's family was thrown into a remote county. But some of the lights can't be hidden. Today, her mother can't deal with her, let alone the future. ”

"You shut up and get out of here forever. Old Madam Yang pointed to the door. It means to get him out of the Elders.

Yang Gongren knew that leaving the Presbyterian Church was inevitable today, but he wanted to do one last thing for the girl here. Therefore, he still ignored his mother. The group of people continued: "According to the report of the people I sent, she studied under the Taoist immortals, and she is so skilled that she can be as light as a swallow at a young age. In addition, he sent a great favor to Dusk Cloud Villa, and got acquainted with the general who carried out the task of capturing Renyazi. Of course, you may not know. When I was in Luoshui Grange, the next patriarch of the Zhang clan in Hedong personally proposed to me, and the person mentioned was the girl. Hedong Zhang's. You should be familiar with it. I have given you all the information I have sent back earlier. The unique selection of patriarchs of the Zhang clan in Hedong, although they are not the first-class famous families in the world, their strength should not be underestimated, and their wealth is countless. ”

"This kind of thing—" The elders, who had thought it was not a big deal from the bottom of their hearts, couldn't help but sit upright. Start paying attention to it.

"Are you right?" asked the Grand Elder. He looked at the second elder who had always been very calm.

Yang Gongren replied: "Every sentence is true. It's just that the girl refused Zhang's marriage proposal, saying that her husband must choose by herself. The girl is eccentric, but she is good-natured and not a vicious person. ”

"Isn't it a vicious person, can you say a few words so that you have to deal with Mrs. Wang's family?" Old Madam Yang sneered.

Yang Gongren retorted unhurriedly: "That's my mother's desire to get rid of people." In the face of such a situation, everyone will become ruthless. ”

"Don't argue with your mother and son. Today's matter must be considered in the long run. The Second Elder finally spoke after pondering for a long time.

Subsequently, the major elders began to look at the information about the Yang family's six rooms. Take a closer look at Yang Minzhi. However, it is a pity that the six rooms of the Yang family are really simple. And Yang Minzhi has been very simple since she was born.

"After nine years of stupidity, he fell into the water and became smart, claiming that he had followed the immortal cultivation with two souls and five spirits. Hmph, in fact, why can't it be possessed by ghosts? Maybe this is not Yang Minzhi for a long time, but someone else. Mrs. Yang said.

Yang Gongren was quite disappointed in his mother at the moment, and sighed and said, "You also brought the Taoist priest to go, and you can't see any clues, right?"

Old Madam Yang was speechless, and several elders also looked at it. The old lady had nothing to say, she just waited for Yang Gongren fiercely.

Even so, the old sister-in-law sent their family to Jinyuan County, a poor rural area, to be a county magistrate. The family is over there, and if there is no recommendation from the imperial court, it will be difficult for them to leave Jinyuan County again. It can be regarded as a high sky, just send someone to watch the people who are in contact with their family, and report on time, and no other actions can be made. As for this side, since Yuan Shu's name has been reported, he can only make a mistake. Moreover, Concubine Yang Shu's mother and son didn't need any backstage support in the Qin Palace, but now that Li Shimin has ascended the throne as emperor, they must have a backstage in the court, even if they know the truth about this matter, they don't dare to say anything. The second elder summed up the meeting.

Everyone nodded, and when Mrs. Yang heard this, she also pushed the boat and said that the second elder is always thoughtful, but she was secretly sarcastic in her heart: It is also your business that there will be a moth in the future.

Yes, convening this meeting today, she said that to put it bluntly, she is passing the blame. It is also certain that Yang Gongren will definitely intercede for this girl because of the girl's aunt.

"Let's go today. The Great Elder waved his hand, and when he stood up, he said again: "In addition, each family also selects smart women to cultivate, this time the ladies of the world are elected, and no one in our Yang family has entered the harem, which is a bad signal." ”

"Today's one is guarding against the Yang family. Someone sighed.

The Great Elder frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Then support the distant relatives, and the Yang family can also be outside." ”

"Speaking of which, I heard that there are several daughters on the martial arts family's side, and they are quite beautiful. The samurai are also down, let's promote, maybe-" Someone proposed.

"His young daughter is only three years old, and I brought it the day before yesterday, but I have seen it, smart and beautiful, but she is still too young. Leaning on her, I don't know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. The rest of the daughters of Wushi Tong are not of the Yang bloodline, so it is difficult to guarantee that there are no two hearts. Let's take it leisurely here, if there are any vacancies, recommend one or two for the samurai. The Great Elder waved his hand and dispersed the meeting.

At this meeting, there were two people who were very satisfied, one was Yang Gongren, because he was temporarily protecting Yang Minzhi, and he was worthy of that one; the other person was naturally Mrs. Yang, who completely passed on the risk she took to others through such a seminar, and from then on, she could be a kind grandmother.

Because she has read countless people, she knows the weight of this girl very well. Now it can't be eliminated repeatedly, which means that the girl's life is very high, and at the same time, it can be seen from the news that this girl's ability is not simple, or there will be an infinite future.

In the face of such a person, if the robbery and killing fails, then she must be wooed when she is down, and give the other party convenience. She went from the concubine of the Xiao family to the side room of the Yang family's Guan Wang Room, and then to the mistress of the Yang Guan Wang Room, until now she has become the ruler of the Hongnong Yang family. This way will come up, and it has been undefeated. She will not only use cruel methods, but she can judge the situation and play the emotional card.

So, as soon as the meeting ended, Mrs. Yang personally selected a new ink, grinded it carefully, wrote a hairpin flower in a small letter, and ordered someone to send it to Jinyuan County in Shuzhong quickly. Along with this letter, Mrs. Yang carefully selected cloth and congratulatory gifts from the front of the family. (To be continued......)
