Chapter 394: The Yang Family's Secret Meeting

When Cao Rui and the others were full of emotions, Yangjiawu Fort was not calm-Uncle haha-

Don't look at the thin people of the Pei family in Luoyang, they think that the whole world is like this, and the reason why their family is like this is only because at the end of Yan and the beginning of summer, the side branch forcibly occupied the family business, and the first generation of Shangwan Marquis defected to Xia Taizu.

Shangwan Marquis has a son of Pei Jin, and Pei Jin only has one son-in-law and three concubines, two of whom are still silent, enjoying wealth and nobility, and they are not qualified to 'interfere' in the existence of family affairs. The number of grandchildren is slightly larger, but there are only five descendants who can represent the Luoyang Pei family.

Luoyang Pei's situation, not to mention unique, is also pitiful.

Hongnong Yang is more knowledgeable, whoever occupies Hongnong County, they will send one or two family members to contact, if there is no way, it is okay to send the 'daughter' to marry, anyway, the posture is always very high. But these did not prevent them from changing the 'door' court immediately after they changed their masters in Hongnong County, if you really want to talk about it, the other forces of the Yang family may have been lost, but in the family members, there was not much reduction.

It is naturally a good thing for the clan to be prosperous, but what follows is that the internal forces of the family are intertwined, just like a small court, and it is not much easier. For ordinary matters, the head of the family can also decide, and the major matters of life and death will naturally be discussed by the clan elders and the slightly more powerful brothers in the family.

Only at this time will Yang Yan be glad that he is already in the year of 'flower' Jia, and the person who can rely on him and sell the old and sell the old to him, and the weight is enough, there is no longer zĂ i.

He talked about all the things in recent days, and as expected, the Yang family in the secret room immediately exploded: "Why didn't the head of the family talk to us about such a big thing?" ”

"For today's plan, the only way to do this is to obey the imperial court, and quickly 'hand' over the first evil, so as to keep the family safe."

"Exactly, the imperial court has already opened up to us, if we don't know how to raise again, how can we provoke an army?"

Everyone has the heart of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and no matter how strong the power of a family is, they dare not openly confront the court. If the court is unreasonable, it is better to say, if there is peace today, the family rashly rebels, loses the "righteousness", and it will not be successful.

The imperial court's control over Jiangnan is not as strong as that of Kanto, and more than ten powerful families in Jiangnan have joined forces to rebel, but have they not been pacified? The death of the former prodigious family has undoubtedly sounded the alarm for many families. Now that the imperial court has put forward a strategy for a peaceful settlement, it is just a matter of sacrificing a few people, and most people will think, anyway, it is not me who sacrificed, and a few others died in exchange for peace, what is it? There are still some people who are active, and they can't wait to immediately deduct their hats to Yang Yan, let him, the head of the family, die, and cut off one of his arms.

The former kind of mind can only be regarded as mediocre, and the latter kind of mind can be called vicious, but the most positive is Yang Yan's younger brother Yang Sheng, I saw this old man with white hair and elegant face, but what he said was not like that: "The difficulties of the eldest brother, the younger brother also knows, you called us over, I'm afraid you have decided to go against the court, right?" ”

He seems to be humble and polite, sympathetic to his brother, but in fact, the anger in his heart has been churned to the extreme, obviously he is a brother-in-law, just because he was young and had a wide range of 'friends', and his relationship with Princess Dayi was also close, and he looked more flexible than his brother, so someone proposed him to be the head of the family.

The obvious plan of discord really separated the brotherhood, making his status in the family inferior to Yang Mian's cousin.

He has endured the overt or covert suppression for so many years, but he doesn't know anything about the Yang family's 'private' iron ore and coal mines. I also know that Yang Yan himself refuses to admit his guilt, Yang Mian is Yang Yan's hardcore, and of course he will not admit it if he can admit it. Further down, count him as the "heaviest" in the family, who is the most suitable scapegoat, needless to say?

It's just that the 'bastard' brother has suppressed him for many years, and now he wants to throw him out to eliminate the disaster, if he doesn't agree, he will take the whole family to die, and he can only let them die!

I have to say that although Yang Sheng thought of his brother too viciously, he crookedly beat Yang Yan and really planned to sacrifice this younger brother, but he was not without guilt, and he had already thought of a way to preserve, that is, to hide one of Yang Sheng's newly born great-grandsons, and after two or three months, his granddaughter-in-law gave birth to a son, which can be said to be a twin. The left and right are a family, and their appearance is somewhat similar, and the pair of real twins of Princess Dangli are not exactly the same!

originally played a good calculation and dragged his younger brother into the water with "righteousness", but who expected Yang Sheng to bet on his words first.

Yang Yan already felt that there was a traitor within the family, and there were several candidates in his heart, and Yang Sheng bore the brunt. Now seeing that the other party reacted so quickly, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Yang Sheng was like the person who secretly communicated with the court and wanted to win the position of the head of his family, so he secretly took a breath, pretending to be casual, and his tone was gentle: "Brother Wei has no such intention, but the court not only wants to punish the evil, but also chisel and make sure that we have iron ore in our hands." Not to mention how this matter was leaked, just talking about iron ore, our family does have it, but it is in Ping'an Township. ”

"Ping'an Township!"

"How so?"

"Where is it? What can I do? ”

As soon as the Yang people present heard the news, they suddenly changed their faces' Ping'an Township is located between a mountain and a forest, originally a swamp, which was regarded as an uncultivated place, so it was not recorded by the government. After I don't know what happened, the ground shook several times, and the swamp gradually turned into soft and 'fertile' land. After Hongnong Yang found out, he enclosed the land and secretly cultivated and planted it. Anyway, the power of the previous dynasty family was at its peak, and they were the top 'gate' valves, who would dare to provoke them? Even if they fall into the swamp, they will die some slaves and maids, and there will be no harm to them.

After so many years of cultivation and planting, Ping'an Township has long become a fertile soil, which can bring a lot of income to Hongnong Yang every year. Most of this income is attributed to the public middle school, and all the houses of Hongnong Yang have benefited a lot, and suddenly heard that the iron mine is there, and many people only feel as if their hearts have been slashed by a knife.

I also know that if the imperial court seems to see Ping'an Township, it must not simply "recover the iron ore". Although Hongnong Yang's family is wealthy, the land has been shrunk too much by the previous dynasty, and once he can't keep Ping'an Township, it is not simply a loss of a large amount of assets.

Now it is no longer an era when you can easily seal the official and lose the appearance with just one surname, and even pick and choose the official position, Hongnong Yang has no one to be a high-ranking official now, and all kinds of income are much less, not only to maintain the pomp and circumstance of the surname of the anointing, but also to run for the children of the clan, plus the family's usual extravagance, the expenditure is huge. If you lose Ping'an Township and don't cut your own 'spending' expenses, it is not empty talk to make ends meet!

Yang Yan also pondered for a long time, and under Yang Mian's constant beating of the side drum, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the imperial court's intentions were sinister: "If iron ore is found in one or two barren mountains, let's 'hand' it over to the imperial court, there are thousands of acres of fertile soil in Ping'an Township, and there are hundreds of slaves and maids working there alone." Let's lower our heads first, not only will we be despised by the family, but also by the court. At that time, if the imperial court insists on saying that these people are the dead soldiers we have raised, what should it do? There is an order in this dynasty that the number of people with the surname of Anointing Liang shall not exceed 100, and it is not allowed to 'privately' accept the displaced people, these are all real evidence of crime! ”

Yang Sheng saw that the more his brother talked, the more incitement 'sex', his brows tightened, and he said unhappily: "Brother is too alarmist, if the imperial court wants to treat our sins by accepting homeless people and accumulating 'private' songs, who in the world is not chilled?" The imperial court only ordered the Ji family to be punished, and it was a secret decree to us, which shows that we are still trustworthy to our Hongnong Yang family. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's studious name is known all over the world; Lord Chen Liu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are not brothers and sisters, but better than brothers and sisters; Princess Dayi raised the son of the county lord of Guangling again, who knows that this is not an opportunity for our Yang family to recover? ”

He said this truthfully and festively, and everyone listened to it very pleasantly, and nodded frequently.

Although the sage did not like Hongnong Yang, he did not say it on any occasion, and this kind of "tacit understanding" is the most difficult to break and the easiest to break. It is said that it is difficult because when the saint was alive, you basically had no problem with such invisible shackles, and people did not suppress you or target you, but they were so cold to you that it was enough to make you breathe in the 'chest' and not be able to go well;

The reason why Qin Ke was able to return to Beijing was due to the contribution of the lord of Chen Liu, Hongnong Yang is the mother of the lord of Chen Liu, and the lord of Chen Liujun was bullied by his husband's family, don't he want his mother to support him? Princess Dayi is lonely, obviously for the country and relatives, but because of her decades of experience in the Turks, she is suspected by the courtiers, and she is not a person inside and outside, don't you want Hongnong Yang to be her backing?

These people were 'confused' and 'confused' by the bright prospects outlined by Yang Sheng, and they completely forgot the most helpless years of Lord Chenliu, and they didn't see the Yang family give her a head;

You don't help us in the slightest, and you want us to talk to you? Dream!

Yang Yanben didn't agree much with the rebellion, but because his cousin was quite insightful and loyal to him, he only listened to it. As soon as the secret meeting opened, his younger brother and sister were in opposition to him everywhere, and he said that the court was good, which inevitably made him angry and ashamed. Alas, who made me a man, and he was a dog?

Thinking of this, he felt a little happy, as if he had a lot of backbone, and Yang Sheng, who had been fighting with him for decades, was a first-class eagle dog, and he should look down on each other.

"Second brother." Yang Yan looked at Yang Sheng, Yang Sheng instinctively felt that something was wrong, so he saw Yang Yan slap the table and said angrily, "Why did my Hongnong Yang clan have such an unscrupulous disciple as you, and for the sake of glory and wealth, he actually betrayed the whole clan!" Today, I will represent my ancestors and ancestors, and I will get rid of you brute first! ”
