Taizhou Weinan County Ya.

In the backyard of the county government is the residence of the officials, and in one of the courtyards there are three tiled houses, and the people in the bedrooms have just gotten up.

"Yang Lang, get up so early and pack up, are you going to go out?" A young woman in her twenties asked, lying sleepily on the couch and looking at her husband's back.

"Lady, I received a letter from Brother Chang'an last night, and I have two things to go."

This person's name is Yang Shu, the character is Chengzhi, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-five years old, and he is currently the captain of Weinan County.

His wife's name is Wei Dongzhen, and she is the daughter of Wei Jugui in Jingzhao Webster.

Wei Xiangui is the imperial history of the Mu Dynasty, once served as Jingzhao Shaoyin, 26 years ago to envoy Nanzhao, the official end of the Shouzhou Assassin History.

This person has been dead for many years, and Wei Dong is really his youngest daughter.

"Why do you have to leave so early and sleep for a while?" Wei Dong is really coquettish, she has a good relationship with Yang Shui, her husband does not have a concubine, she is the only one in the family, the two are like glue, and gave birth to two sons, Yang Jian and Yang Ju.

If it was usual, Yang Shui would definitely say a few gentle words, but at this time, he was a little irritable, he put on his shoes, and suddenly asked: "Lady, what is the relationship between you and the Wei Wei (que) family, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites?" One will say it's a cousin, and the other will say it's a cousin? ”

Wei Dongzhen half sat up, stroked the long hair that was scattered on his face, and said, "Yang Lang, why are you asking this?" Wei Wei is a cousin in the second room, but he is older than me, his father died early, and his mother surrendered to me and asked me to call him cousin. ”

Yang Shui said: "I'm going to Chang'an, the eldest brother wrote that Ma Xianggong might have an accident, I heard that Wei Wei is well-informed, I will visit to know more about the inside story." ”

"Then you just have to look for it, Wei Wei is very enthusiastic and will definitely help. Your big brother will be fine, right? ”

"The eldest brother was promoted by Ma Xianggong, and I, the Weinan Lieutenant, were also recommended by Ma Xianggong.

Yang Shui's eldest brother is called Yang Fa, and he is too often Shaoqing.

After Ma Zhi and Ma Yuanzhen recognized the same sect, they began to stand on their own feet and wanted to be independent from the Niu Party, he was not fledgling, only Yang Fa had a confidant, and Yang Shui entered the prime minister's field of vision through the relationship of the eldest brother.

"Didn't you say before that you and your eldest brother were not born to the same mother, and there are some births?"

Yang Shu smiled and said to his wife: "That's a joke, now which family is not the first clan, the brothers are a little estranged is their own family's business, and they still have to support each other outside." ”

His mother was Mrs. Changsun and gave birth to him and Yang Yan.

Yang Fa is the eldest and the second Yang fake, both from the eldest lady Yuan, who is the same family as Yuan.

Yang Shui died of his father when he was seven years old, and his eldest brother Yang Fa has always been in charge of him, and the feelings in this are really indescribable.

As he spoke, he packed up, said goodbye to his wife, and took a family with him and went on the road.

Weinan County originally belonged to Jingzhao Prefecture, and later Huazhou was added on the edge of Huashan, and soon changed its name to Taizhou, Weinan has been going back and forth between Jingzhao Mansion and Taizhou, and it was changed to Taizhou more than 20 years ago.

It is one hundred and twenty miles away from Chang'an, and it can be reached in one day by fast horse.

Yang Shutian set off before dawn, passed three official posts on the way to change horses and rest, and finally arrived at Yang Fa's mansion in Chang'an City at dusk.

Menzi recognized it as San Lang Jun, so he let them go in directly.

When he arrived at the study, Yang Shui saw the eldest brother writing on the table.

"The weak feather is timid and flies alone, and the eaves are fortunate to rely on.

The title ring only reports virtue, and He Xia knows how to return.

Red is resting and contending, and Dan is self-conscious.

Never climbed the phoenix foot, life and death love brilliance. ”

He read it softly.

Yang Fa didn't raise his head until he put away his pen and said, "It's San Lang who is here, sit down." ”

"Big brother!" Yang Shui didn't dare to slack off, and found a seat to sit after saluting.

"This is Big Brother's new poem?"

"Yes, the poems that should be used for the occasion will go to the Ma Xianggong Mansion for a while, and you can't go empty-handed and write them out as gifts. What new works does the third brother have recently? ”

Yang Fa felt a sigh in his heart, no wonder the last two sentences were so numb, it turned out that they were deliberately for sycophancy, he saw the brush on the table where the ink had not dried, and said:

"I use this pen as the title, improvise a poem, and ask the eldest brother to evaluate: although the bandit has something in his pocket, he can't drill it. Once in power, the crown will be crowned with three ends. ”

"My brother really has a furrow in his chest, and he will be a long journey one day!" Yang Fa laughed when he heard this.

"Big brother praised it, I heard that Ma Xianggong is a little dangerous this time?"

"Yes, when I go to his mansion in a while, the prime minister may recommend you to be the manager of Jixian School and change to supervise the imperial history. How are you going to respond? ”

Yang Shu smiled and said: "If the Xianggong is out of town, I'm afraid the eldest brother will also be released." If I had been recommended by him at this time, would I have killed myself? ”

Yang Fa nodded and said: "My family's benefactor is Du Yi Xianggong, it is really not appropriate to follow Ma Zhi anymore, because my brother can't get on the wrong boat, it's too late for you to turn back now." ”

"Since the eldest brother also thinks so, if Ma Xianggong asks for a while, I should reply that my brother is advancing and retreating together, and before the second brother Yang fakes the township test, I will study hard at home without leaving home. Now that the second brother is just working as a staff member in the Jiedu Embassy, I can't bear to do the imperial history first. If Xianggong must promote me, wait until I consult the second brother. ”

Yang Shui had a literary name when he was young, known as a prodigy, when he was indeed the second brother Yang Fake and the first, he has not been admitted to the Jinshi, this matter is very famous, the brothers are harmonious, so it is called filial piety by the people of the time.

Yang closed the case and laughed loudly: "Good, good!" In this way, Ma Xianggong will definitely praise it, and San Lang is really my family! ”

……

Anrenfang Du Mu Mansion.

Cui's is arranging the banquet in the evening, and tonight the banquet is the three brothers Pei Li, the secretary of the Dali Temple, Pei Xiu, the waiter of the household department, and Pei Li, the imperial historian.

After Du Mu's family moved to Anrenfang, they had not held a housewarming banquet, and tonight could be regarded as a make-up event.

At this time, the husband had not yet gone to the office, and the manpower at home was still relatively tight.

Fortunately, this banquet was only for relatives and friends, and the scale was not large, and she could still cope with it.

Soon in the afternoon, Pei Yan's wife and concubine and children arrived in the mansion first.

The Cao brothers went to play with the children, and Cui accompanied the eldest Pei Yan's wife, Du Shi, and the concubine to talk together.

Soon after, the wife and concubines of the third Pei Li also came, and Du Mu's mansion was even more lively.

In the evening, Du Mu and Pei Yan came back together.

The eldest Pei Yan is Du Mu's brother-in-law, Du Mu first met his sister and two nephews Pei Yanhan and Pei Yanlu, both of whom are relatively old, and I am afraid that they will soon take the tribute exam.

Then there is the family of the third Pei Li, including his second son Pei Che.

This little boy is more beautiful, and looks like a girl.

Pei Xiu's wife and children are in Tanzhou, attending the puja of his third son, Fahai, and have not yet returned.

Several families exchanged pleasantries for a while, and adults and children sat separately around the two tables.

The family style of these families is very good, they pay attention to food and don't speak, sleep silently, and no one speaks when eating.

Soon after dinner, the women took the children to the back to play, and Du Mu let the Pei brothers into the study.

Hongrui took the tea and withdrew.

"Makiyuki, I heard that you've been asking for release on the table lately, but I wonder how this is working?" The eldest Pei Yan asked as he drank tea.

Du Mu sighed and said: "It's hard to say, brother-in-law, I have connected two times, but the prime ministers have not agreed, and I don't know if Cui Xuan is making an obstacle." ”

The third Pei Li said with a smile: "Cui Taishuo is now the leader of my Niu Party, elegant and elegant, not inferior to Gongjin (Zhou Yu) back then, I guess I won't make things difficult for you because of Zhou Qi, I'm afraid there is indeed no suitable position." ”

"But Hangzhou is too vacant, I don't dare to fight, I just want to ask Huzhou, but I can't get it. How could Choi Hyun not have the heart to make things difficult? ”

Pei Xiu shook his head and sighed and said: "Cui Taishuo quietly told me about this matter, and it is still a disaster left by the events of the year!" ”

Du Mu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it a matter of the previous dynasty?" ”

"That's right, you still burned all the articles praising the merits of the Wu Sect!" Pei Xiu said again.

Du Mu said dejectedly: "Some articles have been circulated, what's the use of burning them?" ”

"That's better than nothing!"

"Let me think about it again......" Du Mu was still hesitating, he was a little reluctant to write his article.

The boss Pei Yan also understood at this time, and said: "Muzhi, I said back then, don't be a human being, don't be a human being, and now you are no one inside and out!" ”

"The first emperor was tyrannical, and we were the first to bear the brunt, and the younger brother just said some words of praise for self-preservation, and I was not the only one who did this at that time...... Du Mu said stupidly.

"But you are famous all over the world, and the article "Hangzhou New South Pavilion" written a few months ago praised Wuzong for destroying the Buddha, and the emperor was naturally unhappy when he knew it!" Pei Li also interjected.

"This is really not a current situation! Only Zhou Qi, a stunned young man, dares to transfer you back, it seems that it is not the prime minister who makes things difficult for you, but refuses to offend the emperor for you! As a brother-in-law, Pei Yan spoke even more politely.

The three brothers of the Pei family were very dissatisfied with Wuzong, so they did not say 'first emperor', but directly called him the temple number.

"I see, the new Hangzhou Assassin Li 19 built a pavilion and asked me to write an article, I didn't think the problem was here!" Du Muton said.

Li Nineteen's name is Li Bo, the word Zilie, ranked nineteenth in the clan, sixty years old this year, from the Li family of Zhao County, and is also a poet with a great reputation.

Du Mu walked to the corner of the study and stopped.

There are bookshelves here, and the ancestors of the Du family were famous for their large collection of books, but now they have only slightly restored their old view.

He pulled out his manuscript from a grid, walked back to the table and spread it out to read it carefully, sighed, and went out to ask Zuo Kui to take out the charcoal basin that was only used in winter, light it and throw the manuscript in!

"Even so, there is still a copy of this article Li Bo, I'm afraid it ......" Du Mu said.

"As long as you take the initiative to burn the text, we will spread it, and Your Majesty will naturally know when the time comes."

Du Mu also understood that the article itself is not important, this is actually a matter of attitude.

It's all in the Great Middle Dynasty, the emperor is usurping the throne, you still dare to sing praises for the emperor of the previous dynasty, what do you want to do!
