Chapter Eighty-Eight: Wine and Food
Empress Dowager Yang, Yang Liang and Yang Shi, as well as Li Ren, are discussing how to deal with Li Zong's Zhao Yun now. Empress Dowager Yang listened for a long time and said: "Nephew, even if you let Li Zong personally admit that he is not a descendant of the Zhao family, how many people can believe it?" Won't others say that you forced Liberalism to admit it? ”
Yang Shi also turned the corner now and suddenly said: "Yes, you can make Zhao Yun admit it, but who can guarantee that others won't say anything?" is saying that Zhao Yun is a descendant of the Zhao family admitted by her aunt, if her old man regrets it now, what will others think of our Yang family? ”
Li Ren has long sneered at the so-called Empress Dowager Yang and their Yang family, but now if the Empress Dowager Yang can no longer suppress these roots and seedlings of the Zhao family, I am afraid that things will definitely not be good in the future. Hearing Yang Shi say this, Li Ren also thought for a while and asked: "Where, nephew, may I ask my uncle, now that we have invaded the capital, how can we make most people satisfied and stop making trouble for us?" ”
"This~~??" Yang Shi was also confused by the question now, and suddenly he could only look at the Empress Dowager Yang and his younger brother.
Seeing that they were all written by themselves, Li Ren smiled and said, "Since my uncle and aunt have no ideas, how about I talk about it again?" ”
Empress Dowager Yang looked at Yang Shi and saw her nephew nodding, she immediately said to Liren with a pleasant face: "Okay, nephew, since you have a way, then let's say it, as long as it doesn't harm our Yang family." ”
Li Ren sneered in his heart, but he still looked harmless to humans and animals on his face and said, "Auntie, two uncles." As you all know, this man was born with wealth, and only the description in the book of the saint speaks of man as that ideal state. Now we want to block the people's most simple thing, as long as the new emperor takes office to give more new and good policies that can be the masters of the peasants. As long as these people have no hatred for us, they will not be rallied against us by those who have a heart. Now we can issue new policies to reduce the burden on the merchants without harming the interests of those in power. ”
Speaking of which, Liren looked at Yang Shi and saw him staring at him with wide eyes. Rihito smiled at him and said, "As long as we take these two steps well, basically half of the world is already stable." ”
"Which other half?" Yang Shi closed his mouth at this time and asked in surprise.
He also said, "The other half are the people and the scholars of the various families, which you call the people of the Confucian forest. These people are the source of officials in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and they are all inextricably linked to these important ministers of the court. To keep them silent, as long as the new emperor ascends the throne again, the Confucian scholars below can shut up their speech, and maybe even speak for the new emperor. The only way to keep them shut up is to let those old ministers of the three dynasties speak for us, such as transferring Wei Liaoweng and others, who have been avenging Zhao Hong, back to Beijing, and let them face the opposition officials in the court. And then there are the relatives of the emperor, as long as the reward is increased, there will definitely be a large number of people who will fall to us. ”
Speaking of this, Li Ren finally laughed heartily and said: "As long as they shut up, we can forge the secret decree of the first emperor, saying that it was originally to let Zhao Hong ascend the throne, but I didn't expect Shi Miyuan to collude with various important officials to let Zhao Yun usurp the throne." At that time, the Empress Dowager Yang was forced by Shi Miyuan's threat to admit Zhao Yun, ~~" Liren Club stopped talking here.
Yang Shi suddenly shouted: "Wonderful, at this time, it can be said that Li Zhixiao has always been a secret agent sent by the Empress Dowager by Shi Miyuan's side, and Liren is the Empress Dowager personally designated to protect Zhao Hong's orphans." This time, Li Zhixiao and Liren attacked the capital at the behest of the Empress Dowager, and now they are seizing the puppet emperor to annihilate Shi Miyuan in order to return the orthodoxy of the Zhao family. Wonderful~! Wonderful~! Wonderful~! Yang Shi said three times in a row, then looked at the Empress Dowager Yang and said with a smile: "Auntie." Do you understand now? ”
"Haha, the mourning family already knows, so you don't need to explain it anymore." Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Yang took a closer look at Liren's face, "Nephew, I didn't expect that our Yang family actually had a genius like you, and your grandfather and my father's heavenly spirit should also be blinded~~." After speaking, Empress Dowager Yang seemed to be sincere and left tears.
Everything has been according to plan, and under the handwritten edict of Emperor Zhao Yun, the entire Great Song Dynasty was in an uproar. When the new emperor Zhao Dan ascended the throne, the vassal kings of various places gathered in the capital with their own soldiers, and it seemed that the capital would usher in a period of unrest.
At this time, Jia Yidao, who was at the Xiangyang border, also knew the rumor, and he immediately thought of his sister Jia Guifei, she was the most popular concubine around Lizong, and the fall of Lizong this time was likely to involve her. However, in the edict that Jia Yidao received later, he didn't see a word about Jia Guifei in the imperial court at all, as if she had never appeared.
This abnormal state lasted for more than ten days, and finally when Jia Nidao couldn't stand it anymore, an army of 10,000 people came to hand over to Jia Nidao on the order of the new emperor, and brought a letter that said it was Yang Guogong's own handwriting. Shi Miyuan thought about it countless times in his heart, but he never thought that there was any Yang Guogong in the Great Song Dynasty. The handover general didn't say much, but let him understand everything after reading the letter.
Jia Rudao came to his Chinese army tent suspiciously, and after slowly opening the letter, he suddenly realized: "It's actually him!" After reading the letter, he did not hesitate any longer, and ignored the persuasion of the generals at all, immediately handed over the power in his hand to the generals who came, and hurriedly marched to the capital with his personal guards.
More than ten days is not short, but it is not long, but Jia Rudao feels like two or three years have passed in his heart. When he finally came to the outside of the capital and saw the prosperity of the capital, he couldn't believe that this was Tokyo Lin'an. Because his original home was Lin'an, although Lin'an was already very prosperous at that time, he often saw people begging for food and fleeing. But now not a single passerby has an unconscious smile on his face, and there are no more people fleeing or begging for food on the streets. He also knew in his family letter that when the Suzaku Army and the rebel troops occupied Lin'an, almost half of the entire Lin'an was destroyed, but now no matter where you go, you can't see the traces of the war.
With the guidance of his guards, he finally returned home to see his wife and concubine. I saw that my wives and concubines didn't have much sadness, but they often laughed from time to time.
Finally, it was dark, and Jia Rudao, who had been socializing for a day, had only now found temporary peace, he was looking at the bright moon in the sky in his garden, thinking about the abnormal situation in the capital. At this time, a person said after his voice: "Hehe, it seems that Brother Dao is really good Yaxing, and he also came to this garden in the middle of the night to admire the moon, but why is he not accompanied by his sister-in-law?" Could it be that Brother Dao has a new love and abandons his sister-in-law, but you are not such a person. Hehe. ”
When this person said this, Jia Rudao suddenly felt a chill in his spine, and immediately pulled out the sword in the pavilion, turned to face the darkness and shouted, "Who? Who's where is it, and I'm not going to show up quickly! ”
"Hahaha, it seems that Brother Dao is worthy of being a soldier who has been in the army for a few days, and his vigilance is high. Haha, it seems that Brother Dao hasn't put away your sword, don't you really know the old man? A figure about the same height as himself gradually appeared in the candlelight, and at this moment, Jia Rudao saw the person clearly. He immediately dropped his face and said, "Why are you, why didn't my family come to report it." ”
"Haha, it seems that Brother Dao is okay if you don't come?" This person hugged his fist at him, took care of himself to the opposite side where Jia Yidao was sitting just now, picked up the wine jug on the table, and poured himself a glass. He took a sip and said, "Well, good wine, hehe, good wine." I really can't imagine that Brother Dao actually likes Shaoxing's daughter Hong. ”
Jia Rudao was no longer afraid when he saw this person clearly, and after walking to the person and sitting down, he asked, "Ask you, how did you get in." Why didn't my family come and report to me? ”
"Oh! It seems that Brother Dao is asking this, hehe, I'm sorry, when I came, I originally wanted to let the family report it, but seeing that your house is already sleeping with the lights out, I'm sorry to disturb me too much. But when I walked to the back of your house, I suddenly saw the lights in the garden, so I jumped in to take a look. Hehe, I didn't expect that Brother Dao was actually holding the lantern and admiring the moon. It's really Yaxing. As he spoke, he made a gesture of climbing over the wall.
Jia Rudao suddenly shook his head, sighed and said, "You, your current identity is the prince of the country, how to do the matter of the gentleman on the beam." Could it be that when a prince comes to my house in the middle of the night, I don't open the door to greet him? Speaking of this, Jia Yidao looked at this person with even more disdain.
This person is also very thick-skinned, he laughed and said: "What kind of prince, isn't it just a title, you want you to take it." Isn't it just climbing over the courtyard wall? What's there. ”
"I don't want it, I just can't get it." Jia Rudao suddenly rolled his eyes.
"Hehe, forget it, now that there is such a good wine, how about you and I get drunk." The man suddenly diverted the subject, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Jia Rudao saw this person, and the question in his heart was like asking clearly. But this person in front of him didn't give himself a chance at all, and when he asked again. The man said, "Hey, you are a member of the court, don't you have a good cook at home?" Now that you have no food or drink, don't you feel bored? ”
He was so anxious that he immediately swallowed the question he was about to ask, rolled his eyes and said: "You said that you are a person, what time is it now, you still have to eat, and the chef is afraid that he has already gone back." ”
"Forget it, I won't tell you, you wait, I'll come when I go." After the man finished speaking, he immediately got up and disappeared into the night.
