Chapter Ninety-Seven: Secret Conversations in the Temple (I)
After the banquet, Zhao Kuangyin rewarded the returning generals. For the Yang family, there is an earl and a marquis in a row!
The eldest son, Yang Yanping, swore to delay Yeluyan to the death, so that the follow-up reinforcements surrounded Yeluyan and his iron cavalry, surrounded and annihilated him, and laid the foundation for a great victory in the future! Named a second-class earl, promoted to the former general of the palace!
The seventh son, Yang Yansi, was brave and brave, beheaded the enemy's general Yeluyan, and killed hundreds of enemies at Hainan Pass, which was really the first achievement! Seal the Golden Gun Marquis! Promoted to former general!
The six sons of Yang Men plus the silk silk gold and silver rewarded by Yang Ye are worth tens of thousands of taels of gold!
Originally, with Yang Yan's merits, he could get at least one marquis, but his father Yang Ye persuaded him to persuade him on the grounds that his son was still young and debauched by nature, so he only gave Yang Yanzhao a guannei marquis, which was famous but not real.
Now, with the titles of Yang Yanzhao and Yang Ye, the Yang family has already produced three marquises! Among the families of Bianjing City, he suddenly reached the top!
If just three titles are not enough to make the entire family in Bianjing City panic. Zhao Kuangyin took the opportunity of the reward this time to divide the two continents of Suzhou and Hangzhou to Yang Ye, and changed his title to Marquis of the East China Sea!
As the name suggests, the coastal areas and sea areas of the entire East China Sea have now been handed over to Yang Ye except for Bohai County, which is under the jurisdiction of Yang Yanzhao.
You must know that six layers of the annual tax revenue of the Song Kingdom come from the sea! What's more serious is that the navy of the Song State is the only force on the Kyushu continent that can confront the navy of the Chu State head-on! Of course, what is said is only that under the same number, if the whole army is dispatched, the 500,000 navy of the Chu State can wipe out the Song navy in an instant!
Every year, the Song State invests more than six layers of military expenditure in the East China Sea camp, and the other infantry cavalry adds up to only four layers, which shows that the Song State attaches great importance to the navy.
The strength of the Chu navy lies in the foundation accumulated over the past four hundred years. And how did the Song Navy have a combat power comparable to that of the Chu Navy in five years? All this, only the top families of the Song Kingdom know the hidden secrets.
Twenty years ago, the current location of the Song State was subordinate to the land of the Chu State. It's just that more than 100 years ago, this land was given to a son by Emperor Chu at that time, and it has been hereditary to this day.
A hundred years have passed, and the owner of this fief has undergone three generations of changes, and his control has become weaker and weaker, and he has gradually been suppressed by the major local families.
Until the last generation of masters, Xiang Nan, did not even have the slightest desire for power. Dancing and writing all day long, or hunting, he never cares about the affairs of the entire fiefdom.
The major families of the fiefdom saw that the year had passed, and many of the fiefdom families had risen up and established themselves as kings. This made the minds of everyone in the family led by Zhao Hongyin, the head of the Zhao family at that time, come alive, and plot a long and difficult plan!
The helmsman of the Yang family at that time, that is, Yang Xin, the father of Yang Ye, was famous for his hobby of hunting, and even went hunting with Xiang Nan several times, which was the closest one to Xiang Nan among all the families.
The family also persuaded Yang Xin for a long time to make this spy!
After several years, the family created countless opportunities and coincidences, so that Yang Xin and Xiang Nan became friends with similar interests. Even, in order to support Yang Xin's family, Xiang Nan also handed over part of the shipbuilding tasks assigned by the dynasty to the Yang family.
For Xiang Nan's trust, the upright Yang felt guilty and decided to withdraw from the plan.
The shipbuilding technology that the helmsmen of the families had worked so hard to do was about to get their hands on it, so it would be so easy for Yang Xin to get rid of it, and use the three hundred and seventy-six clansmen of the Yang family as a threat to force Yang Xin.
At that time, Yang Ye, who was only 25 years old, joined the project on behalf of his father, and he took care of the shipbuilding affairs.
In the past 20 years, the shipbuilding industry of the Song Kingdom has been so developed because of the technology stolen by the Yang family. It is also because of this that since the official establishment of the Song State, the King of Song immediately named Yang Ye as the marshal of soldiers and horses. Even if Yang Ye saw that Yue Fei and his group came from behind and voluntarily resigned, King Song also gave Yang Ye a position of captain.
Taiwei, ranked as the third duke, although he has no military power, he has absolute power and can supervise any army up and down the Song State.
King Song's favor to the Yang family made those families very angry, but he didn't say much about it. They all knew that everything Yang Ye had was what he deserved.
However, no matter how much the Yang family pays, there should be a bottom line after all. And this time, Zhao Kuangyin's reward for Yang Ye has greatly exceeded the expectations of everyone in the family, and it can also be said to be the bottom line!
Most of the economic income of the Song State is in the East China Sea, and there are 100,000 navies training in the East China Sea, although the military power is not in the hands of Yang Ye, but he can intervene in the navy with his official position as a captain! In time... Everyone in the family can't imagine it! If Yang Ye is willing, he will be able to break away from the Song State and establish himself as the king!
A few days after the banquet, the heads of the families and the incumbent officials of the families played in parts, strongly demanding that the reward for Yang Ye be withdrawn.
For a few days, the mountains of twists and turns were like stones sinking into the sea, and there was no movement.
Later, a senior member of the court inquired about the green-clothed father-in-law who was close to King Song, and all these folds were piled up in the imperial study, and Zhao Kuangyin had not looked at them in the past few days.
After the news spread, the circle of all the families exploded, and they united the incumbent officials of various families to enter the palace to meet in person.
Outside the dormitory, hundreds of families waited from morning to noon......
But I saw the father-in-law in green walking slowly in front of everyone from the dormitory, glanced at everyone, sighed and said, "Lords, please go back..."
Wang Boyan, who was the leader, saw at a glance that the father-in-law in green wanted to speak and stopped, and asked, "The king can let the father-in-law take the words?" ”
Seeing that it was Wang Boyan who was asking, the father-in-law in green straightened his back and bent down slightly, bowed humbly, and replied, "The king said that he didn't think about this matter, but you didn't joke, and this matter is over..."
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, and they opened their mouths one after another, but they were interrupted by Wang Boliao.
"The old man understands what the king means." After Wang Boyan finished speaking expressionlessly, he turned around and shouted to everyone, "I'll wait for this to disperse first!" ”
"Elder Ge! This..."
Everyone looked at Wang Boyan in surprise, and if they hadn't estimated Wang Boyan's identity and status, they couldn't help but ask loudly. Wang Boyan is one of the initiators of this operation!
After seeing the father-in-law in green leave, Wang Boyan turned around, raised his hands to stop the people who were about to speak, and said, "Now that the king has made up his mind, it will be useless for us to wait here for ten days, so it is better to go home separately and wait for the opportunity to move." ”
This sentence was originally an unconstructive vernacular, but it came from Wang Boyan's mouth, but it made everyone bow their heads and ponder.
All the people present were sensible people, and after only thinking for a few breaths, they quickly made a decision, said their goodbyes, and left resolutely.
After Wang Boyan watched everyone disperse, he looked back and said, "Father-in-law, the old man is also gone!" ”
"Wang Ge old and walk slowly!"
Half an hour later, Yang Ye was ordered to secretly enter the palace to meet the king.
"Minister Yang Ye, meet the king!"
Zhao Kuangyin supported the position of his temple with one hand, sat lazily on the dragon chair, and said to Yang Ye, "Here are you and the lonely, no need to be polite!" Get up! ”
"King Xie!"
Hearing this, Yang Ye replied respectfully and stood up, looking at Zhao Kuangyin with a bitter face.
"Half a month later, Qing is going to the East China Sea, how are you doing in the near future?"
Yang Ye shook his head with a wry smile, looked at Zhao Kuangyin with a complaining face, and complained, "With the king's care, how can the minister be bad?" ”
"Still blaming Lonely?"
Yang Ye looked up at Zhao Kuangyin, pursed his lips, and finally fell silent.
"Expensive! You are Lone's most trusted person, so Lone entrusted this matter to you! ”
"My Great Song family is quite reasonable, and I will not do anything that harms the interests of my Great Song Dynasty. Why is the king like this? Yang Ye asked puzzled.
A trace of disdain flashed in Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, and he sneered, "It's reasonable? When the Great Song Dynasty was founded, the family was still united. Now that the Song Kingdom has settled down, these families have begun to be proud of their achievements and make private profits! Even, the Wang family, the Li family and other families intentionally or unintentionally hinted that the title of Lone Plus was hereditary and promoted to the world! ”
The entire Kyushu can be called a world clan, and only in the Chu State and the Qin State are the State of Qin. The families of these two countries have existed for hundreds of years and have a deep and terrifying heritage.
At present, these families of the Song Kingdom, with a history of only a hundred years, rely on the meritorious service of the founding of the country, and each of them asks to be promoted to the world.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his chest, and said in a deep voice, "These moths are whimsical all day long, and sooner or later they will destroy my great cause!" ”
Yang Ye in the audience obviously noticed that Zhao Kuangyin revealed a sense of anger when he said this, and his body couldn't help shaking and lowered his head slightly.
"Valuable, do you feel lonely and ungrateful to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
Zhao Kuangyin just glanced at it, and he could see the change in Yang Ye's mood in the audience. This is not because Zhao Kuangyin is penetrating, but Yang Ye was his childhood playmate, and the two grew up together and knew each other better than themselves.
The pupils between Yang Ye's eyes condensed slightly, and he sighed. As the head of the Yang family, he naturally knows the movements in the circle of the family, and Zhao Kuangyin is doing this for the sake of the future of the Song Kingdom! If the Song Kingdom wants to become strong, it must get rid of the stumbling block of the family!
"Don't dare!" Yang Ye lowered his head and said respectfully.
Zhao Kuangyin took a deep look at Yang Ye and said, "Don't you dare or don't want to say it?" ”
Suddenly, a trace of struggle appeared on Yang Ye's face, and when he was about to speak, Zhao Kuangyin interrupted him and said, "That's it, I won't be embarrassed by you." You know Lonely..."
You understand the lonely...
This sentence made Yang Ye tremble slightly, and he choked up and looked at Zhao Kuangyin with a tired face. I can't help but recall that more than 30 years ago, three teenagers stood by the river, seeing the ambitions of the common people.
"I, Zhao Kuangyin, will definitely save the common people in my lifetime! Give the people of Li a bright future! ”
"I, Zhao Kuangyi, am willing to do everything I can to help my eldest brother!"
"I'm Yang Ye! In the future, I will be a great general and a generalissimo! Spread my name all over the land of Kyushu! ”
"Chonggui, now that the people are so poor, why do you still want to be a general? Don't you think the war in Kyushu is not enough? ”
"Stupid! This world can be governed by your two mouths. If you want to govern the world, you must first seize the world, and to seize the world, you naturally have to rely on the weapons in your hands. ”
