Lin Xuan's official ability is so great, in addition to his own outstanding ability, and he is simple in the emperor's heart, it is also because he always pursues a survival criterion - never go against the emperor - ~ follow ~ dream ~ small ~ say ~ щww ~ mеng ~ lā

It is precisely because of this that he feels that the Duke of Xingguo is far inferior to the Marquis of Bo Wanghou in this regard, but after thinking about it, he has no possibility of being the emperor, so he will judge it like this.

"The Duke of Xingguo is the eldest son of His Majesty, and the wedding should not be taken lightly, three books and six ceremonies, not to mention that it will take a year or two to prepare, who knows what has changed? I'll just give him a little guidance. Since he has decided to go to Jiangnan again, although the criminal prince is talented and intelligent, in the face of such a situation, he is beyond the reach of the whip. Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, or decided to use the most helpless "drag" word trick, seeing that there was a trace of tears in his wife's eyes, he shook his head, both painful and resentful, * with an unspeakable melancholy, "Although King Liang Jun is good, he has nothing to do with our Qin Niang, let alone King Han Jun." ”

Although Gao Ying had long known that this would be the result, when she heard Lin Xuan say this, tears flowed down her eyes.

Knowing this, she should have set a marriage for her daughter, but although Jiangnan is good, it is not as good as Chang'an, and all the talents in the world are at the feet of the Son of Heaven. As a parent, where would you not want the best for your children?

Lin Xuan stared at her and sighed imperceptibly.

In addition to the power of their family, there is also a very important point why Su Wo, the prince of the criminal state, chose their family, that is, Gao Ying's cunzi - even in a high-ranking family, the mother and daughter are closer. But when it comes time to sacrifice their daughters to protect the family, these women, even if they are housewives, may not be able to speak at such a critical moment. After all, the daughter is not the support of the second half of her life, the son is!

Only the royal princess, the county lord, the county lord, the woman with the title of the clan, and the special case of Gao Ying, the husband will not only respect her emotionally and facefully, but also take care of her will out of interest considerations.

When Lin Xuan and Gao Ying's hearts were on fire, Bowang Hou Yang Fan was standing under the porch, leaning together with the hanging birdcage, and laughing and teasing the parrot inside: "Praise the master again?" Come on, say a few words? The more you talk, the more you will be rewarded! ”

"Bastard! Bastard! ”

"It's the other way around, a parrot, how dare you scold the master bastard?"

"You!" Mrs. Yang was about to pinch Yang Fan when she saw Yang Fan rolling up her sleeves, she was angry and funny, "It's staying here well, why do you want to provoke it?" ”

Yang Fan looked indifferent, and looked like a child: "Isn't it good luck to meet a kind-hearted owner?" If it were another house, something as pampered and proud as it would have been thrown away somewhere long ago. How can you stay under the porch and enjoy the beautiful scenery? ”

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Yang looked grim, pulled him to the study, and saw that there was no one else, so she reprimanded with a straight face: "You are really getting more and more unpresentable, how can you say that one?" ”

She has always had a low self-esteem in front of this son, feeling that her status is low, and she gave him up again, and she didn't want to appear in front of the other party, so as not to hinder her son's bright future. Who expected that the righteous princess was benevolent, and after Yang Fan's memory, he explained his life experience clearly. I don't know what kind of mental struggle Yang Fan went through, so he decided to secretly recognize this mother and approached Mrs. Yang with a hippie smile. Even so, Mrs. Yang, who is warm in her heart, has always kept a distance from Yang Fan. Only in the affairs of Qin Wan's family will Yang Fan be trained like a grandson.

Yang Fan naturally knew that in his biological mother's heart, there was nothing bad about the saint. Even with the children of the saint, they are all dragons and phoenixes, especially Xing Guogong, who is Yang Fan's half-brother. Even if the two have different surnames now, they should be brothers, friends and brothers, and they should be harmonious. Yang Fan pointed at Sang and scolded Huai like this, and used the parrot to satirize the practice of the Duke of the Nation, of course Mrs. Yang couldn't look past it, and she was afraid that he would come out of her mouth.

It was precisely because he knew that his biological mother was the only person who would care about him that Yang Fan dared to say this, and when he heard this, he smiled and hugged Mrs. Yang's arm: "Auntie, don't be angry, I'm not used to seeing someone who thinks he is clever and caught!" In fact, if it weren't for the fox and the tiger, how could this thing be done? ”

When he said this, he also pointed to the "above", which is self-evident.

Mrs. Yang had no choice but to sigh.

She doesn't know the knot in her son's heart, but what can a person like her say? After thinking about it, I could only persuade in a rambling manner: "You are too rich now, although I am not happy, but I am also a little worried." I only hope that you can start a family as soon as possible, extend your children and grandchildren, and don't talk and do things so out-of-the-box. ”

Speaking of this, although Mrs. Yang was a little worried, she was very relieved: "Now that Her Royal Highness Princess Dayi has gone, only a saint can decide your marriage." The sage's day is full of opportunities, and the society of the country is so important. You can't be too impatient to get into any thoughts. ”

Yang Fan already felt that he hadn't played enough, where would he want to get married? But in order to appease his mother, he still smiled and said, "You are right, the saint has always been considerate to us courtiers. This year's spring cold time is long, and the charcoal of all departments is not enough, and His Majesty has come out of the palace from the share, who does not praise the benevolence of the saint? Not to mention the four realms, and even the exile officials of the entire Great Xia, they all wanted to kowtow to the saint a few more times. ”

Although the saint only gave the exiled officials of the four realms a fortune, who doesn't know, this is only temporary. One day, the entire Great Xia exile officials will be able to get a salary?

If you really have a way, you can just ask for an official body, but you won't be a foreign official. It's hard work, and there is no money, just want to be familiar with the doorway, get familiar with Shangfeng, and have a waiting day in the future.

In the class of "scholars," the life of these people is the most difficult -- they have to maintain the dignity of their official stature, and they also have to give gifts to the upper peaks at all times, and they cannot miss the personal contacts between colleagues and neighbors, but they have no money to spare at home. The land in Chang'an is expensive, the shops are also expensive, and the harvest is not as good as the one sent, so one or two servants have to be hired to maintain face. Therefore, there is a joke that these foreign officials take winter clothes in summer and summer clothes in winter, so that they can barely exchange some money and turn over one or two.

The life of the exiled officials was so difficult, and the sage gave them such a fortune, even if it was only half of the income from the nine-grade officials, that is, fifteen stone rice per year, one hundred and forty wen per month, and thirty food, it was still a lot of income, and they could live a good life for a family of five.

Although Princess Dayi raised two sons, Suwo and Yang Fan, Suwo, Princess Dayi, has always been respected, but Yang Fan, who is nominally a son, is actually not much different from his grandson. Yang Fan has always been clever and obedient, although his behavior is perverse, but his mind is good. Princess Dayi taught him many things in private, one of which was to speculate on the sage's thoughts, so Yang Fan understood that the saint's worries were first, his status was unstable, and second, his family and country were not rich.

In the three years of the saint's ascension to the throne, the tax was reduced twice, for what? It is true to make the people well, but it is also to silence the scholars, so that they cannot attack the saints at this point; Again and again, the palace maids were released, and the number of people in the palace was reduced, in addition to clearing the spies, it was also to let these people go out and say something good for themselves, after all, there are still a few palace people who have been created, and most of them are still white-headed, how can they not be happy to go out? Now what is the reason for the convection of foreign officials and graces? The exile officials are the largest and lowest level of the entire bureaucratic group. But from the local to the center, if you want to do things, you don't have these officials, okay?

Every emperor wants to be favored and get a good reputation, but not everyone has the ability to fight several battles, and the treasury can still be replenished, so they can send money down. What's more, the sage had already ordered people to make a register for the exiled officials, and the previous rumors had always said that the sage wanted to cut off the officials and clear these people, and many places had falsely reported the number of people. The saint will calculate, since you didn't sign up, then I won't send it, can you not let those people regret their intestines?

The saint wants to be on par with Emperor Shizu and be the emperor who has been praised and never met through the ages. Looking at the saint's actions again, it is not at all like he will be fooled by the people below, and he remembers everything clearly. In this kind of extremely unequal power, you may not be smart in the situation, play with others?

Every time Yang Fan thought of this, he only snorted coldly.

Suvo treated him affectionately, but in fact he looked down on him in every way. It's no wonder that the concubine and the concubine are out! The one who came out of the country was faced with such a situation and thought that he was being treated poorly; It was he who came out of the house, soared and gained unimaginable glory. But he was originally taught by the righteous princess, where will he be deceived? You look down on me, and I look down on you!

Mrs. Yang knew that he had his own ideas in his heart, so she didn't say much, just looked at the brocade clothes and exquisite accessories on his body, and couldn't help frowning: "The saint has been filial piety for three years, and you should also be more restrained." Even if you are filial, don't wear too bright clothes, learn more about the criminal state, green shirts and cloth robes, gentle and elegant, isn't it good? Sage Chongjian, don't be too public. ”

It's okay for others to be red and willow green, and there is no way to get to the saint left and right, but the saint is still very worried about Yang Fan, and he will ask him once in a while, summon him to the palace, and take the school coursework, but he is not granted. Mrs. Yang was afraid that her son would be so virtuous when she met her, which would make the saint troublesome. Who expected Yang Fan to hear this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Just him? The way he learned to do it was exactly what the saint didn't like the most! You have been in the silk village for so many years, who knows, his 'coarse linen clothes' are more expensive and rare than mine? The saint admires simplicity and goodness, but not everyone is allowed to wear linen and filial piety, and the treatment they should have is still there. Just don't toss around, waste indiscriminately, pluck the feathers of the white bird to make clothes, like pearls will cause countless pearl divers to die, a dish should be matched with seven or eight chickens. ”

The emperor only has a few dishes in a meal, and his clothes are washed and faded and he has to wear them, which is not called simplicity, but shabby. The reason why Qin Wan admires simplicity is just to set an example and stop the increasingly exaggerated and exaggerated wind of comparison, not to change his way to treat himself.
