Congratulations to Brother K's son on his ninth birthday!

Mrs. Xie ordered Mrs. Xie to settle down, only to realize that she had lost her temper just now, straightened her clothes, and left in a huff, not wanting to say anything. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

From Qinghe County to Jinling, you must first pass through the hills south of the Yangtze River, and then enter the official road of Pingchuan. The autumn colors along the way, the yellow leaves are dashing, the egrets are crossed, and Yang Erya, who has never been far away, couldn't help but get excited, revealing a few innocent expressions, and shouted to the eldest brother Yang Zongyan in the carriage in front, "Big brother, I didn't expect Jinling's official road to be so good-looking." ”

Yang Zongyan showed half of his head from the car, "The good-looking ones are still behind, enter Jinling, and keep the beautiful ones to make my sister breathtaking." ”

Soon, the brother and sister arrived in Jinling City.

Yang Yichen's carriage had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time, and after the three of them met, they headed towards the Mu Mansion together.

"I received a letter from you, saying that the emperor wanted to rehabilitate our Yang family, and the descendants of the Yang family were all present, so we all stopped what we were doing and hurried here. Is Dad okay? Is my mother okay? Yang Zongyan asked.

Yang Yichen said: "It's all good, and the Mu family is also reconciled, eat and play chess together every day, just wait for you to come." ”

Yang Erya asked curiously, "Is that old lady Mu fierce, okay?" ”

Yang Yichen smiled, "Sister, you'll know when you see it." ”

In Mufu, the fragrance of moon cakes wafts.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and it coincides with the family reunion, Mrs. Mu is very happy, and she has given gifts to her children and grandchildren.

The next day, the morning glow was brilliant and the sun rose in the east.

The palace in the early morning mist was awakened by the cheerful sound of drums. The eunuchs and palace ladies were busy.

Clusters of flowers, arranged in rows, columns, are very neat.

It turned out that the emperor ordered that Yang Kang's family would be summoned today, so the drums lined up to welcome him as a sign of respect.

Soon, the palace gate opened, and Mu Feng took Yang Kang, Xie Ling, and their children into the palace together.

Except for the Dragon Boat Festival and Yichen, who had already calmed down, because they had already seen it, Yang Zongyan, Yang Erya and Yang Meiya all looked around with curious eyes.

The steps of the main hall are very long and very high, and the Dragon Boat Festival walks on the cold stone steps, the pattern of the soles of the shoes rubs against the ground, and there is a tingling pain in the soles of the feet.

It seems that this is a carefully selected stone that has been sharpened.

The hundred officials were neatly dressed and lined up in two columns, waiting for them.

The emperor sat on the highest place, his face calm.

In the lower left corner of the emperor, there is a golden chair about the size of the dragon chair, and the person sitting on it is Xie Ce with a smile on his face.

Only Xie Ce dared to do this position.

Dragon Boat Festival lowered his gaze and followed Yang Kang into the main hall, the floor of the main hall was full of shining gold bricks.

She could feel that the hot eyes that shot all around her were full of surprise and inquiry, if the eyes could speak, then their voices must be: "It turns out that Yang Kang's family is still alive, it is really a sky with eyes." ”

"Minister Yang Kang, and the dog in the cheap to meet the emperor and His Royal Highness Jiuqing, I wish the emperor long live long live, His Royal Highness Jiuqing thousand years old, thousand years old." Yang Kang knelt down, and Xie Ling and the five children also knelt down and chanted long live and a thousand years old.

The emperor stretched out his hand: "Hurry up." Then he looked at the chief eunuch beside him, Grandpa Yu.

Yang Kang and his party then got up and listened to the order.

Gonggong Yu then announced that all the crimes of the Yang family that had been convicted before were invalid, restored Yang Kang's title, and rewarded him with a stone of gold and a cart of silk, repaired the original Yang Mansion, and gave a new adjacent mansion.

The stone in Yang Duanwu's heart finally fell.

Looking back at Xie Ling and the others, they all had relief on their faces.

Everyone has been waiting for this result for a long time, and now that it has really been realized, everyone feels relieved.

The officials also praised Yang Kang for his hard work, and a few of them were able to pat on the back, shouting loudly for the emperor and Xie Ce to be wise.

Disdain flashed in Xie Ce's eyes.

Then Yang Kang excused himself and said: "The minister is old, and he is no longer competent for the position of general, and the minister is used to living a civilian life. ”

When the emperor heard this, he glanced at Xie Ce and said with a smile: "Why should General Yang be modest, you are only in your early forties, and you are in the prime of life, and you are not yet old enough to return to your hometown." Besides, this is the title you deserve. ”

Yang Kang said: "The minister's ability is no longer competent, ask the emperor for permission, and then choose the meritocracy." ”

The emperor was dumbfounded and looked at Xie Ce.

Xie Ce got up and walked down the steps in person, "General Yang, let's think about it again, who in our Daming Dynasty doesn't know that General Yang is a Changsheng general, if you come back, it must be a matter of great happiness for the people." ”

Yang Kang said: "Thank you Your Royal Highness Jiuqing for your love, but Yang is no longer what it used to be, and I hope His Royal Highness will fulfill it." ”

Seeing that Yang Kang resolutely refused, Xie Ce's eyebrows furrowed.

If you want to do good things, you will do it to the end, this is Xie Ce's principle, besides, looking at the courtiers, they are just flattering vulgar people, which one can match Yang Kang.

Even in the northern country, there are such rumors that Yang Kang is a tiger, either use him or kill him, use him to help him fight the world, but if he is let go, it will be equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain and give himself a dead end.

Even those Tartars have such an opinion, not to mention Xie Ce, who is good at reading people.

But Yang Kang insisted on not accepting it, at first Xie Ce thought it was out of politeness, but now looking at Yang Kang's attitude, maybe it is not.

Perhaps, Yang Kang has really changed after the past ten years, and he has no interest in officialdom at all.

Ten years can completely change a person.

"Could it be that General Yang, when you come back, you hope to be rehabilitated, don't you hope to contribute to the country again?" Xie Ce still has a glimmer of hope.

Yang Kang shook his head, "With the assistance of His Royal Highness Jiuqing, the Da Ming Dynasty will definitely be safe and secure." Yang Kang is just a martial artist, he doesn't understand the national policy at all, and whether he is there or not will not affect anything. ”

It seems that no matter how much Yang Kang persuades, it is useless.

Xie Ce frowned, and suddenly saw Yang Yichen standing behind him, his shoulders were straight, his eyes were shining, if it weren't for the fact that he hadn't grown up yet, he was a little shorter than Yang Kang, a little whiter than Yang Kang, he and Yang Kang were simply carved out of the same mill.

It's so similar.

Whether it is from the appearance or from the temperament and demeanor, they all seem to be a person, no wonder they are father and son.

Xie Ce suddenly thought of a plan, "Since General Yang Kang is so modest, then, according to the system that the great general is hereditary, if General Yang Kang does not want to serve as a general, then it should be inherited by Yang Kang's son." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Zongyan immediately said: "I don't know martial arts, I can only dye cloth, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." ”

Xie Ce smiled: "Then, there is only Yang Yichen, the champion of the new department, Yang Yichen, it is none other than you." ”

Everyone turned their eyes on Yang Yichen in unison.

Being stared at like this, Yang Yichen didn't feel the slightest nervousness, just looked at Yang Kang.

Yang Kang said: "Yichen, you can decide your own life. ”

These words seemed to give Yang Yichen a lot of encouragement, Yang Yichen said: "I am willing to serve the country." ”

"Good, good." Mu Feng beside him couldn't help but applaud.

It turned out that Yang Kang resigned from the title just now, and Mu Feng really sweated for him, in case Xie Ce was really the same, wouldn't he waste such a good title?

Unexpectedly, Ri Yichen, who was only seventeen years old, agreed in one bite, and replied so calmly, just like a little Yang Kang. How can this not be a surprise.

Xie Ce said: "Then, the emperor can issue an edict to allow Yang Yichen to inherit Yang Kang's title." ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately announced: "From now on, Yang Yichen will succeed to the title of general." ”

Xie Ce shook his head, walked up to the emperor, and said softly, "Your Majesty, is this all right?" Forgot what I told you? ”

The emperor patted his head, thought about it, and hurriedly said, "I know, I will announce it immediately." ”

Xie Zer sat back in his seat.

The emperor made up his mind and announced: "The Governor of the Underworld has recovered Yang Kang's meritorious service, the official is still the secretary of the Criminal Department, Yang Duanwu has outstanding talent, and she is specially given a hundred acres of mulberry field, a weaving workshop, and the title of imperial businessman." ”

What the? The Dragon Boat Festival was dumbfounded.

She didn't have any credit, she actually gave her so many mulberry fields, and even the title of imperial merchant.

"Dragon Boat Festival girl, don't you want to thank you?" Mu Feng gave the Dragon Boat Festival a look.

The Dragon Boat Festival knelt down but said: "The people's girls can't stand it, the people's daughters have no merit, and they don't dare to be ashamed." ”

Xie Ce said: "This is a reward from the emperor, you will accept it if you give it to you, the emperor also sees that you have a special opinion on silkworms, so he gave you good land, hoping to promote you, so that your talents can be maximized." If you don't accept it, you're resisting. ”

The Dragon Boat Festival looked up at Xie Ce, and Xie Ce had an evil smile on his face. She understood, it wasn't what the emperor wanted to give her, it was Xie Ce's meaning.

Then she is even more unacceptable.

She didn't want to owe anything more.

However, it is not easy to excuse himself in public.

The early dynasty was over, and the Dragon Boat Festival followed Mu Feng and Yang Kang out of the palace with a heavy heart.

"Dragon Boat Festival, why are you unhappy? Didn't you always want a lot of mulberry fields? Yang Zongyan comforted the Dragon Boat Festival and said, "You don't have too much baggage, Xie Ce is willing to reward you, and you will accept it." It is good to compensate our Yang family for the past ten years of wandering, especially Daddy, since Daddy doesn't plan to be an official anymore, he always has to do something about it, this imperial businessman's hat, Daddy must like it. ”

The Dragon Boat Festival is a little relieved, yes, although Yang Kang doesn't want to be an official anymore, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to make progress, perhaps, being an imperial businessman is more suitable for him.

Yang Kang has indeed wasted the past ten years, and the Daming Dynasty gave him a hundred acres of mulberry fields, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

"Anyway, I think we still have to go and thank Xie Ce in person." Yang Yichen made a suggestion.

Yang Duanwu thought of Xie Ce's mother and said, "I'm going, Yichen, you go, and thank him for me." It's inconvenient for me to go. ”

So Yang Yichen and Mu Feng went to Xie Ce's palace. The others went back to Mu Mansion first.

After the Yang family was rehabilitated, the emperor also wrote inscriptions for the two former emperors who died, after all, he was the emperor, he could only sing praises and not slander, and what the emperor wrote was just a formality.

Then, Xie Ce personally dealt with the crimes of Xie Fat Elephant and several other uncles.

Xie Ce still remembered his uncle and nephew after all, and did not give them multiple punishments. but they demoted their officials and reduced them to commoners.

Since then, the Xie family has been demoted to commoners except for the long house.

The Xie family's power has become more concentrated, but it is also much smaller.

Shetze's house.

The chrysanthemums bloomed very gorgeously, Xie Ce had just sent away Mu Feng and Yang Yichen who had come to thank him, and Mrs. Xie was very angry and called Xie Ce into her garden.

"You actually made Yang Yichen a general, and gave Yang Duanwu the title of Imperial Merchant, do you know how much power you have added to the Yang family by doing this?" Mrs. Xie was very unhappy, "When your grandfather was here, he had been curbing the power of the Yang family, and now, with a few words, your grandfather's ten years of hard work have been wasted." ”

Xie Ce's face was indifferent: "In the eyes of your mother, what grandpa does is right." But I don't think so. ”

Mrs. Xie said to him: "Ce'er, you were not like this in the past, you used to admire your grandfather very much, and said that you should be like your grandfather when you grow up." Why have you even changed your temperament? ”

Xie Ce sneered: "It's not because my mother kissed you. "Yes, since he knew that Mrs. Xie had an affair with his mother, Xie Ce's entire outlook on life has changed.

"Mother knows that she is very wrong, you can't be considerate of mother, but you can't lead the wolf into the house and harm yourself." Mrs. Xie said, "How could the Yang family listen to you? If you nurture them, aren't you afraid that in the end, they will bite you in turn? Moreover, the hatred between you and the Yang family, where you want to reconcile, you can reconcile, when the time comes, they do something sorry for you, and they will talk about the hatred of the past, why do you bother to make so much trouble for yourself. Mrs. Xie said bitterly.

Xie Ce smiled indifferently: "Mother, you don't understand, you only know that the Yang family is a wolf, but you don't know that your son is a tiger." Now the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are just pigs and dogs, and their sons disdain to use them, but if the wolves use them well, they can help their sons much more than those pigs and dogs. ”

Mrs. Xie said, "A wolf is a wolf, don't expect a wolf to be loyal to you." ”

"That's because the people who raise wolves are not confident enough and not capable enough." Xie Ce said firmly, "Mother, you only see the surface, but you don't know that today's Daming Dynasty is full of dangers, if you don't raise a few wolves, you can rely on those pigs and dogs who can only flatter you, I'm afraid it will be useless." ”

Mrs. Xie was confused, "What kind of danger lurks, hasn't it always been the peace of the country and the people?" ”

Xie Ce smiled but did not answer.

Mrs. Xie said to him: "I think you promoted the people of the Yang family because of Yang Duanwu." How can you be so indistinguishable from public and private! ”

Xie Ce shook his head: "Mother, you are wrong, I like the Dragon Boat Festival, but I won't miss a big event for the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

"In that case, what did you think about if the mother wants you to marry Ruyan?" Mrs. Xie Heming didn't believe his son's words at all, and said when she saw the move. (To be continued.) )
