Xuanyangfang Yang Guozhong's mansion door is brightly lit and crowded, the horse-drawn carriage of gifts will be jammed with the whole street, and the New Year is approaching with an endless stream of officials from all over Beijing who come to give gifts, whether they want to or not, they dare not have the slightest neglect for this popular prime minister in the court, and there may be no benefit to giving gifts, but if they are not sent, the disadvantages will immediately fall on the top of their heads.

Just yesterday, an official was thrown out by the doorman for giving too light gifts, and was impeached by the imperial history before the evening.

It doesn't matter if the tribute given to the emperor can be lighter, but the congratulatory gift given to Yang Guozhong cannot be missing, and if there is no money, you can go to the capital to borrow it, and then use the money in the official treasury to make up for it after returning to the place. Anyway, the wool is out of the sheep, and there is no need to pay for it yourself, and it can still leave a good influence in Yang Guozhong's heart, why not?

The officials who gave gifts knew that Yang Guozhong was very busy these days, counting the money until his hands cramped, so he naturally didn't have time to receive these little people, and he should do what he should do when he gave the gifts.

Yang Guozhong sat in the study, holding a long gift slip in his hand, his eyes were full of hatred!

Yang Guozhong's original name was Yang Zhao, a native of Yongle, Puzhou, the nephew of Zhang Yizhi, and the brother of Yang Guifei. Born in the river house of Hongnong Yang's family, he was depressed in his early years, he was dissolute/debauched when he was young, he was addicted to alcohol and gambling, and was despised by his relatives, and went to Xichuan to serve in the army at the age of thirty. Engaged in Tuntian work, excellent results, although Zhang You was disgusted by the moderation, he was still awarded the Xindu County Lieutenant. After the expiration of his term, Yang Guozhong became even poorer, so he had to rely on the Shu Dahao Xian Yu Zhongtong, and later served as the lieutenant of Fufeng County.

In the fourth year of Tianbao, Yang Guozhong's younger sister Yang Yuhuan was registered as a concubine, and her three sisters were increasingly favored. Jiannan Jiedu made Zhang Qiu and Qiong discord with Prime Minister Li Linfu, so he asked Xian Yu Zhongtong to go to Chang'an, wanting to make friends with the Yang family as aid. Xian Yu Zhongtong recommended Yang Guozhong, Zhang Qiu and Qiong saw that Yang Guozhong was tall and eloquent, so he recruited him as an official, let him go to Chang'an to pay tribute, and gave him millions worth of Shu goods.

After arriving in Chang'an, Yang Zhao gave the local specialties to the Yang sisters one by one and said that it was a gift from Zhang Qiu and Qiong. As a result, the Yang sisters often spoke for Yang Zhao and Zhang Qiu and Qiong in front of Xuanzong, and introduced Yang Zhao to Xuanzong, who appointed him to join the army for Jinwu Bing Cao.

From then on, Yang Zhao could enter and leave the forbidden center casually with the worship officer. After Yang Yuhuan was favored, he soared until he was promoted to prime minister, and now he holds more than 40 positions, and his power is above 10,000 people under the government and the opposition.

But Yang Guozhong saw the long gift list today, but there was never a trace of a smile on his face, because he saw the glass mirror in Yang Yuhuan's hand when he entered the palace today.

As the first assistant of the court, there was such an auspicious gift in the New Year's tribute of the state and county, but he knew nothing, which made Yang Guozhong's face gloomy.

"Damn it for 10,000 years!"

Yang Guozhong angrily threw the gift slip in his hand on the ground, "I don't know how to lift!" ”

At this time, his wife Pei Rou walked into the study, picked up the gift list from the ground, and glanced greedily at the gift list.

"Why is Lang Jun angry, but someone impeached Lang Jun in front of the saint?"

The seven major families in Guanzhong: Jingzhao Wei's family, Hedong Pei's family, Lanling Xiao family, Jingzhao Du family, Hongnong Yang family, Hedong Liu family, Hedong Xue family, the seven families and the seven clans and five surnames of Kanto are constantly in conflict, to put it bluntly, it is a dispute over the redistribution of power. The seven clans and five surnames were frantically suppressed and excluded during the period when Wu Zetian was a cool official, and the seven major families in Guanzhong took the opportunity to rise and squeezed out the right to speak in the court.

Not long ago, the spokesmen of the Fan Yang Lu clan in the court, Yushi Lu Lin and Boling Cui Lian, suddenly made a difficult attack, impeaching Yang Guozhong for taking power and disorderly government, accepting bribes from officials, and blocking the ...... of the Holy Hearing, and the relationship between Yang Guozhong and An Lushan became increasingly tense, obviously under the instruction of An Lushan.

"I'm!"

In history, the Yang family is still the second princess and the second county lord, and Yang Yan married Princess Wanchun, the daughter of Xuanzong; Yang Qi married Princess Taihua, the daughter of Xuanzong, and married Princess Wanchun; Yang Xuan married the daughter of the clan Yanhe and the county lord; Yang Jian married the daughter of the clan Chengrong County Lord, and he was deeply favored.

"Lang Jun, don't be angry, you might as well tell the slave family if you have anything!"

As soon as Yang Guozhong wanted to open his mouth, he saw Yang Yuyao, the wife of the country, walking in angrily, without the slightest taboo, and said: "Yang Lang is still not the first assistant of the court, and he has not heard any rumors of such a big thing, and he is embarrassed to say that he is the minister of the first assistant!" ”

Yang Guozhong's face became iron-blue, Pei Rou on the side already knew that there was an ambiguity between her husband and Yang Yuyao, the two families lived in Xuanyangfang, and even the backyard was connected together, Yang Yuyao went in and out of the two families as if no one was there, and she didn't even put herself in her eyes, and now she was sarcastically laughing at Yang Guozhong in front of herself, so where did Pei Rou's face go.

"Mrs. Qiuguo, you make it clear, what does it mean that Yang Lang can't be the minister of the first assistant!"

Yang Yuyao shook her plump body, the beads on her head swayed, and the clothes on her body were gorgeous and bright, full of beautiful jade pearls, full of nouveau riche dress.

The scandal about Yang Yuyao and Li Longji has long been spread in Chang'an City, not only in captivity at home with a lot of faces, but also with her husband Yang Guozhong ambiguous relationship, private life can no longer be described as inappropriate, every time you see a handsome minister, you have to pull it into the boudoir, these things have become the talk of tea and dinner in Chang'an City.

"Mrs. Yang doesn't know yet! Just now, the concubine Niangniang recruited her sisters into the palace to watch the auspicious rui, but you know where this auspicious rui came from, Yang Lang didn't hear a little wind about such a big thing, do you say that someone still puts Yang Lang in their eyes? ”

Yang Yuyao told the matter again, Yang Yuhuan naturally wanted to show off everywhere after getting the glass treasure mirror, the first thing that came to mind was Mrs. Yu Guo, Mrs. Han and Yang Guozhong, as a result, several people saw the light in the eyes of the glass treasure mirror, and they couldn't wait to grab it and take it for themselves, naturally it was not good to share the treasure with Yang Yuhuan, and Mrs. Yu Guo began to count Yang Guozhong, and Yang Guozhong's teeth itched.

Pei Rou heard that the glass treasure mirror forgot to talk to Yang Yuyao for a while, and turned her head and said: "There is still a glass treasure mirror in the world that can show the shadow of a person, this matter must be investigated, otherwise how will people in the world know about Yang Lang!" ”

Yang Guozhong saw Li Longji's will two days ago, and thought that it was a personnel change before preparing to transfer Li Huang to the capital, as for Zhen Qian, who suddenly appeared, he was busy with other things at that time and didn't think much about it, it may be that Li Longji rewarded the son of a certain minister on the Yuan Day on a whim, this kind of thing is not uncommon for Li Longji to reward Li Longji in his old age, and this matter will not affect his status, so he naturally will not care.

But after the matter of the glass treasure mirror, I inquired with the people in the palace and found out that someone in the state and county had contributed to the auspicious glass treasure mirror, which made Yang Yuhuan ecstatic before he added Zhen Qian as the county man of Luquan County, and the officials of Luquan County who had made meritorious contributions were also promoted to the next level.

"Humph! I still want to be promoted...... Dream! ”

Yang Guozhong had already decided to knock on the ignorant Feng Wannian and Zhen Qian, although he didn't dare to go against Li Longji's will, but there was a big deal about how to operate it.

For example, Zhen Qian's sealing of the county man in Luquan County can be delayed for a period of time, and then for example, Zhen Qian is given a real position, saying that he will choose a county seat in Hebei Province, but Hebei Province is too big, and the county seat is not only divided into upper county, middle county and lower county, but also far and near bitter cold, like Yingzhou, Pingzhou, and Danzhou, how can the county seat in the area be compared with the county seat in South Hebei Province, not to mention eating wind and sand all day long, and from time to time there are Hu people intruding and playing an autumn wind, and there is no life guarantee, so that where the bird does not lay eggs, who goes and who dies!

Of course, a similar method can also be used to deal with Feng Wannian, first his position as the governor of Hengzhou will be suspended, and Feng Wannian will not take office in Hengzhou, things must always be done, and other officials will naturally share the responsibilities of Changshi, and when Feng Wannian takes office again, there will inevitably be contradictions because of the transfer of power, and it will not be too late for Yang Guozhong to make another move.

"Don't worry about this matter, Mrs. Qiuguo, I have my own way to deal with it!"

Yang Yuyao didn't come today to rectify anyone, thinking about how to get a glass mirror for herself, "I don't care who Yang Lang wants to rectify, I want a glass mirror that is exactly the same as the concubine Niangniang, you can do it!" ”

Yang Yuyao's arrogance and ruthlessness are well-known in Chang'an City, every time she goes out to play, she hugs in front of the car and horse canopy, and she never hides what she sees when she sees it, if Yang Guozhong pushes back and forth, Yang Yuyao will blow the pillow wind next to Li Longji, "I heard that there is only this one piece under the glass treasure mirror, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Mrs. Yu Guo to get her wish!" ”

"I don't care, there is nothing unique in the world, since there are one and there are two, I don't care what method you use, anyway, you have to help me find an identical glass mirror, otherwise you can look at it!"

Yang Yuyao dropped a cruel word, regardless of Pei Rou's face turning blue with anger, she actually reprimanded Yang Guozhong in front of herself, who is the hostess of this house!

"Are you a man or not?" Pei Rou finally couldn't help it, Pei Rou couldn't say anything in front of Yang Yuyao, but Yang Yuyao went out with her front foot, and Pei Rou jumped up with her back foot.

Don't look at Yang Guozhong bowing down like a pug in front of Yang Yuyao, when Yang Yuyao leaves, the fire in Yang Guozhong's heart can no longer be suppressed, "Stinky mother-in-law...... You know what! How did the Yang family's wealth come about, what are you yelling at here, you have the ability to yell at Yang Yuyao! ”

"Good! I don't know what you think is ugly between you, my mother and you are fighting! ”

Saying that, Pei Rou pounced, grabbed and bit at Yang Guozhong, Yang Guozhong screamed and fled the door, and Pei Rou behind him scolded: "You are a dead man, you don't have the ability to come back......!" ”
