In the past few days, Yang Daosi has been feeling a little uncomfortable, so he took a leave of absence and recuperated at home.

In the room, Yang Daosi sat there quietly, his eyes slightly closed, and next to him, Yang Luwang was holding a book, his voice was not small, and he was not in a hurry.

When Yang Daosi was a child, he was actually not outstanding, but he was a little naughty and mischievous, causing trouble everywhere, and his father was forced out with a stick and a book, so slowly, Yang Daosi also developed a habit, no matter how busy he was, he had to read books for at least one hour every day, and this habit was a lifelong habit.

But now, when he is older, Yang Daosi's energy is not as good as before, and his eyesight is not good, so when he reads now, he is read by people, he just sits there and listens quietly.

The door opened, and a man walked in.

Yang Luwang turned his head to look at it, feeling slightly surprised in his heart, uncle's habits, who in the house didn't know, who was so bold and dared to disturb at this time.

"Sixth uncle, you're here."

It turned out to be Yang Daolin, and he was the only one in this family who had no scruples.

Yang Daolin smiled and nodded: "Lu Wang, there is an hour, let's rest for a while." ”

Yang Luwang smiled, knowing that the two uncles had something to say, and it was inconvenient for him to be here.

"Uncle, after sitting for a long time, my body is also a little tired, I will go out for a walk."

Yang Daosi opened his eyes and said, "In the past few days, it has been difficult for you to accompany me, an old man. ”

Yang Luwang didn't say anything, bowed, turned to leave, and closed the door.

Yang Daosi glanced at Yang Daolin and said lightly: "Have you taken care of everything over there?" ”

Yang Daolin sat down and said: "It's all dealt with, the main generals I brought up have all entered Beijing with me, and the new Jiedu envoy will soon be able to grasp all the military power." ”

"Don't be reluctant, since you have decided to let go, let it go thoroughly, so that you can get enough compensation from the emperor."

Yang Daosi said softly: "The court has formed a final conclusion on your arrangement, and in a few days, a formal appointment will be issued, so you have a preparation in your heart!" ”

Yang Daolin was silent, he took the initiative to hand over the military power, the significance is extremely huge, and Zhao Zhi will never treat himself badly.

Yang Daolin looked at the eldest brother and said silently: "Big brother, I didn't come to you because of these things. ”

Some time ago, Yang Luwang entered Beijing on behalf of his father, at that time, Yang Daolin was also in Beijing, and then, Yang Luwang returned to Shu, Yang Daolin left on his hind feet, and after more than a month, Yang Daolin did everything and returned to the capital, but he saw Yang Luwang again, and got a shocking news that Yang Binglin was going to be transferred to the local official.

Yang Daosi was also silent, and after half a sound, he said slowly: "What do you want to say?" ”

Yang Daolin opened his mouth, there were some words, he didn't want to say it explicitly, but at this moment, after all, he still couldn't hold back: "Big brother, isn't it too risky for you to do this, if you are not careful, our Yang family may ....."

Yang Daosi looked at Yang Daolin fiercely, and said coldly: "My relationship with the third child, don't you know, without his support, how long can our Yang family's status in the court be maintained?" ”

Yang Daolin was silent again, the eldest Yang Daosi, the third Yang Daoan, and himself, since he was a child, among the brothers, he has the best relationship, but with the change of their respective status, the passing of the years, and the occurrence of many things, the feelings of the brothers have finally undergone some changes, especially in recent years, between Yang Daoan and Yang Daosi, there is obviously a distance and estrangement, the reason is very simple, Yang Daoan's power in Shuzhou is too great, the imperial court wants to suppress and restrict, Yang Daosi is the main decision-maker and executor, Some things have happened, so that the once close brothers, by now, have gradually drifted apart, Yang Daosi has given orders as the patriarch several times, but Yang Dao safely ignored them.

Yang Daolin gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother, if that's the case, why do you want me to hand over the military power?" With me, how dare the court act recklessly? ”

"Sixth, you still can't see through it!"

Yang Daosi sighed deeply and said: "If you still hold the military power, even without the support of the third child, our Yang family can indeed continue to maintain an absolute advantage in the court, but in that case, the power of our Yang family will be too great, and the emperor will never let it go." ”

Yang Daolin frowned and said, "Big brother, what do you want to say?" ”

Yang Daolin was a little puzzled, hasn't the Yang family always done this for so many years? I didn't see any action from the emperor.

"The emperor has been mild internally, even if there is a dispute, most of the time, he has compromised, but externally, he has a tough attitude and will never back down, Tubo has been defeated, the Mobei Hu tribe has been defeated, and the seven western states of Longyou have returned to the Great Jin, and now, the external threat has been basically lifted for the time being."

Speaking of this, Yang Daosi looked at Yang Daolin and said lightly: "Today's Great Jin, its military strength is the most powerful period since Wuzong, since there is no external threat, then where will the emperor's sword point next time?" ”

After listening to Yang Daosi's words, Yang Daolin's whole body shook violently, the exterior was stable, if Zhao Zhi wanted to do something and take action, then it was obvious that it was to act on the major feudal towns inside, so that there was only one voice and one absolute authority in the world, which was the dream of several generations of emperors since Wuzong.

It was only now that Yang Daolin finally understood the good intentions of the eldest brother, if he still held the military power, once Zhao Zhi decided to do it, the Yang family would definitely bear the brunt, and now with his own initiative to hand over power, it represents the Yang family taking the initiative to submit to softness, which is an attitude, a kind of surrender, so that the Yang family and Zhao Zhi, both sides have room to turn around.

Yang Daolin said: "Big brother, the emperor transferred Li Zhong to Beijing as the left minister, is it for this purpose? ”

Yang Daosi asked rhetorically: "Who do you think Li Zhong is more capable than Liu Ji?" ”

Yang Daolin had a wry smile on his face, knowing that the eldest brother didn't want to continue this topic, Liu Jie and Li Zhong, no one is strong or weak, this is not comparable, Liu Jie in the early years, just returned to Beijing from Longyou Jiedu to serve as the left minister, at that time, he was undoubtedly powerful, with his prestige in Longyou, his voice is probably tougher than the imperial court, but with the migration of time, personnel changes, this kind of strength, will slowly cool down, today's Li Zhong, just like the former Liu Jie, has been in charge of Anbei for so many years, and his prestige and reputation are prosperous, who can compare?

Yang Daolin finally asked, "Big brother, are you really ready to give up Yang Binglin?" ”

Yang Daosi shook his head: "Sixth, look at the problem, don't just look in one direction, Yang Lu Wang, even if he enters the political hall as a prime minister, he will definitely be the patriarch of my Yang clan?" ”

Yang Daolin nodded, finally understanding all the thoughts of the eldest brother.

"I'm afraid Yang Binglin won't be able to think about it."

Yang Daosi said silently: "If he can't even let go of this plan, what qualifications and abilities does he have to lead my Yang clan to the future?" ”
