Yang Yansi was a little confused, when did he become the smartest person in the Yang family?

The wisdom of the ancients, he never dared to underestimate.

He didn't think he was necessarily smarter than the ancients.

He believes that the reason why he is perceived as smart is not because of wisdom, but because of knowledge.

"Seventh brother, I'll go back to practice martial arts first. On the third day of the lunar month, I am waiting for you in the martial arts ring outside the palace of the Eight Sages. ”

After being comforted, Yang Yanzhao regained his confidence, stood up and hugged his fists, and strode out of the chamber.

Yang Yanping also stood up, "Seventh brother, I should go back too." Before I left Beijing, I went to instruct the sixth brother in martial arts. ”

"Big brother, wait a minute, I have something to talk to you about."

Yang Yansi woke up from his daze and raised his hand to stop Yang Yanping.

Yang Yanping raised his eyebrows, puzzled, "What's the matter?" ”

Yang Yansi asked Yang Yanping to sit down again.

"Big brother, this time I went out to Beijing to suppress bandits, if it is not necessary, can you kill less evil and try to capture alive."

Yang Yanping was stunned for a moment, glared at his eyes, and scolded, "Chaotic ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished." You actually intercede for those rebels and thieves? ”

Yang Yansi shook his head and smiled.

"Big brother, among the bandits, not all of them are the most heinous people. Many people used to be ordinary people, they were either forced by life, or oppressed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and had to seek a way to survive before they chose to fall into the grass. ”

Yang Yansi put his heart in his heart and said: "Take Yizhou as an example, Yizhou has been in drought for three years, and the people have no harvest. The imperial court distributed the disaster relief silver, and all of them were divided among corrupt officials and corrupt officials. The people were hungry and cold, and they were fed by their children. Some people have been forced to fall into the grass.

These people are not big traitors. They are just seeking a way out for themselves.

In the face of these people, big brother, do you really bear to be a killer? ”

Yang Yanping was silent.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "If you can't bear it, you have to kill, the military order is like a mountain." ”

When Yang Yanping said this, his heart was extremely uncalm.

In fact, in his heart, those corrupt officials are the ones who deserve to be killed.

It's a pity that he is only a military general, and he can't control the heads of civil officials, and he can't do anything about those corrupt officials.

All he could do was carry out military orders.

Yang Yansi stared at Yang Yanping for a long time and smiled indifferently.

"In my impression, Big Brother is not such a cold-blooded person."

Yang Yanping shook his head, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out.

"The court sent me out to suppress bandits, and they asked me to go out and kill people. If I relented and let them go, he would come back and the court would blame him......"

Yang Yansi flicked the charcoal in the brazier, making the charcoal burn more vigorously.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Yansi frowned and asked, "Big brother is afraid that the court will blame you and your status will not be guaranteed?" ”

Yang Yanping shook his head and sighed: "The left and right are just a five-grade military attaché, deprived of their powers, with the title on their bodies, your brother and I can live a more nourishing life." ”

Yang Yansi pondered for a moment and said, "Are you worried about implicating your family?" ”

"With all due respect, big brother, I'm afraid you're thinking a little too much."

Yang Yanping raised his eyebrows, stunned, "How can you say this?" ”

Yang Yansi chuckled and said: "The war against bandits is different, but the war on the border is different. If corrupt officials and corrupt officials are not eliminated, the resurgence of bandits is inevitable. The hundred officials in the court all understand this matter in their hearts, and they will definitely not embarrass you. Even if they are embarrassed and have a younger brother in the court, they can say a thing or two for the eldest brother.

Besides, the younger brother has already thought of a way to get the best of both worlds for the eldest brother. ”

"Oh?" Yang Yanping was puzzled, "What way?" ”

Yang Yansi smiled, "The bandits captured alive by the eldest brother can be handed over to the younger brother to deal with." Brother can assure you that these people will not fall into the grass. ”

When Yang Yanping heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.

"The seventh brother wants to trade slaves?!"

There was a hint of anger in Yang Yanping's voice.

Yang Yansi's heart jumped, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "Big brother thinks badly, younger brother, I will never do such a thing that damages yin morality." ”

Yang Yanping didn't seem to believe Yang Yansi's words, and asked with a gloomy face.

"Then why do you want so many people?"

Yang Yansi smiled brightly and lied: "Your younger brother and sister have been addicted to business recently, and they have contracted several mines and need a lot of manpower to mine. ”

Yang Yanping squinted at Yang Yansi, "It turns out that this is your purpose." Just now you pleaded for the bandits, I thought you were very kind, but it turned out to be driven by profit.

Seventh brother, when did you get the smell of Shangjia's copper? ”

"I've been with Lin'er for a long time, and I've been infected a little bit."

Yang Yansi silently said sorry to Cao Lin in his heart, and then happily took Cao Lin again.

Yang Yanping learned of Yang Yansi's 'selfishness', put away his gloomy expression, and looked like an old god.

"Seventh brother! I'm afraid I'll have to ask my father for advice on this matter......"

Yang Yansi jumped to his feet in fright, and hurriedly stopped, "Don't." It's not that you don't understand your father's temper, and with your father's clear temperament, after knowing this, ten out of ten will not agree. ”

Yang Yanping nodded, "I have followed my father to fight for many years, and I naturally understand my father's temperament...... It's just that if I don't tell my father about this, my brother always feels uncomfortable. ”

Yang Yansi rolled his eyes, "Big brother, do you want your brother to give you hush money?" ”

Yang Yanping shook his head indifferently and chuckled: "Hush money? Is this still the case for a family? The seventh brother, who is not a pedantic person, knows the benefits of money. You do business to make money, no matter how much you earn, it is our Yang family who will profit in the end.

Moreover, your means of accumulating wealth are also above board, and you have not embezzled or accepted bribes, nor have you done anything that hurts nature and reason.

Therefore, for your accumulation of wealth, raise your hands in favor of your brother. ”

Yang Yansi was puzzled, "What ......does the eldest brother mean?"

Yang Yanping put away the smile on his face and told Yang Yansi categorically, "The reason why Brother Wei is using your father to pinch you is to tell you that you can help you if you accumulate wealth, but you will never allow slave trafficking." If your brother finds out that you are selling slaves, don't blame your brother for being unsympathetic. ”

Yang Yansi was stunned.

"Why does Big Brother hate the slave trade so much?"

"Hey~"

Yang Yanping sighed, "Seventh brother, you haven't been to Yanmen Pass, and you haven't been to Liao. Therefore, you don't know what kind of life we Song people live in the Liao Kingdom outside Yanmen Pass. ”

Recalling the scene of the Song people outside Yanmen Pass, Yang Yanping clenched his hands into fists and made a gurgling sound.

"Life is like grass mustard, life is not as good as cattle and sheep......"

Yang Yanping's eyes were gradually reddening.

"Brother Wei once followed Dad Qi to attack Zhejin Mansion in Liao, and the Song people in it were kept in captivity in batches. Among these people, there are Song people in Yanyun's homeland, and there are also Song people who have been trafficked in the past by black-hearted people. ”

Yang Yanping gritted his teeth and said, "That's a living person, not a beast." How can it be kept in captivity! How dare you keep it in captivity! ”
