Chapter 165: She Taijun's foresight
After Yang Zongbao and Xie Jinwu went out. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei sat there drinking tea slowly, talking with She Taijun.
Of course, it is all common words, because everyone knows that if you talk about the affairs of the court casually at home, it is not a good thing if it reaches the ears of the emperor.
Although it is a common talk, time passes slowly without knowing it. After chatting for a while, Wang Qinruo saw She Taijun sitting there and taking a nap, and knew in his heart that how could this elderly person sit for a long time, so he stood up and said to She Taijun: "Old Taijun, today I can get a lot of forgiveness from your protΓ©gΓ© who is not angry, I am really grateful in the next place, and your old man will be tired after sitting for a long time. β
She Taijun nodded and said, "Okay, the old body will send the two adults." β
Ding Wei said: "Old lady, sit here when you are old!" Don't send it, we can't afford it. β
She Taijun had no choice but to say: "That's good, if you don't send it, you two adults will go slowly." β
Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei came out of the living room and came to the courtyard, and saw Xie Jinwu and Yang Zongbao sitting in a pavilion talking happily, so they waved at Xie Jinwu and said, "Jinwu, it's not too early, let's go back quickly!" We'll talk another day. β
Xie Jinwu had no choice but to stand up and bow his hand to Yang Zongbao and said, "General Yang, the two bosses are going back, Xie has to say goodbye, let's meet another day." β
Yang Zongbao also stood up and said, "Okay, I'll send three." β
Yang Zongbao kept sending Wang Qinruo, Ding Wei, and Xie Jinwu outside the gate, and arched his hand and said, "Three of you go slowly." β
The three of them greeted Yang Zongbao again, and then left Tianfu Yang Mansion.
Yang Zongbao stood there and watched Wang Qinruo, Ding Wei, and Xie Jinwu, and said to himself: "This is really not an acquaintance, but I didn't expect Xie Jinwu to be very interesting." Then he turned and walked into the courtyard.
Yang Zongbao came to the living room, and She Taijun asked, "Zongbao, are the guests all gone!" β
Yang Zongbao nodded and said, "Old grandmother, the guests are gone." β
She Taijun said: "Then you didn't send it to others?" β
Yang Zongbao smiled and said: "Old grandmother, how could I not give it away, if I do that, wouldn't it make people laugh at our Yang family for being too uneducated!" β
She Taijun said approvingly: "Zongbao, you are doing the right thing, this is not just a matter of whether people laugh at us or not, there is a big stake here!" β
Yang Zongbao said: "Old grandmother, is there anything else to say here!" β
She Taijun said treacherously: "There is not only a head in this, but also a big head." As he spoke, he took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Zongbao, do you know why grandma suppressed this matter like this?" β
Yang Zongbao shook his head and said, "Old grandmother, grandson Yudun, please teach me more." β
She Taijun smiled and said, "This is also a long-term plan for me, to pave the way for you in the future." β
Yang Zongbao was puzzled and said: "Old grandmother, how can this be said to pave the way for the future of the grandson!" β
She Taijun said in a heavy tone: "Zong Bao, you are still too young to understand the difficulties of this world. You said that our Yang family voted for the Great Song Dynasty since the time of Emperor Taizu, and it is easy to get to where it is today! How many people in our family have paid with their lives to earn such a big Tianbo Yang Mansion! β
Yang Zongbao said: "Old grandmother, what are you doing when you mention the past!" Don't make you sad again. β
She Taijun shook his head and said, "Alas, silly child, grandma's tears dried up more than ten years ago. The reason why I have to mention the past is to let you have a mind to be prepared for danger in times of peace. β
Yang Zongbao said: "Old grandmother, you can rest assured, my grandson is now seizing the time to practice the art of war and practicing martial arts every day, and he does not dare to relax for a moment, and is always ready to kill the enemy and serve the country." β
She Taijun said earnestly: "Zongbao, what grandma said about being prepared for danger in times of peace not only refers to resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, but most importantly, to prevent danger from the surroundings. β
Yang Zongbao said blankly: "Danger, what danger can there be around you, is there still a killer sent by the Liao State in this capital." β
She Taijun smiled bitterly: "That's not true. Zongbao, haven't you heard of such a sentence, the cow beats the country and the horse sits in the palace. Now it is not as popular as when there were foreign enemies who invaded us as military generals, and now it is a peaceful world, and it is such a literati who are in power. β
Yang Zongbao said disdainfully: "What's wrong with the literati, the literati rule the world, what else can our Yang family do!" β
She Taijun said: "Alas, I'm afraid that you have this kind of thought." Zong Bao, don't you feel that since Zhao Heng ascended the throne and became the emperor, our old Yang family has become more and more unable to smoke. In the eyes of Emperor Zhenzong, now our Yang family is in a dispensable position, but he can't do anything to us because of the face of the first emperor, if the emperor still treats our family like the first emperor, it is to borrow a hundred courage from Xie Jinwu, and he doesn't dare to come to Tianbo Yang Mansion to make a fuss, let alone smash our family's town house stone lion. If it was when the first emperor was alive, I would have gone to the emperor to sue the emperor for the grandmother who dared to do this. Alas! It's a pity, today is not as good as in the past, it is really a son of heaven and a courtier! β
Yang Zongbao said: "Old grandmother, then what is the purpose of you forgiving Xie Jinwu so easily!" β
She Taijun said: "What purpose?" It's not about paving a way for the future of you people. β
Yang Zongbao said suspiciously: "Pave the road, this is the road of the door." β
She Taijun said schemingly: "Zong Bao, I don't know if you have paid attention to the two adults who came just now. β
Yang Zongbao said: "Attention, that Lord Wang has a big meat bun on his neck, and that Lord Ding has a pair of crane eyes. β
She Taijun said: "This is just the appearance of the two of them, according to my old eyes, judging from the words and deeds of the two of them, these two are not willing to live under the people, and it may not be long before they become prime ministers!" Therefore, grandma, if I let go of Wang Qin's protΓ©gΓ© Xie Jinwu today, they will definitely be grateful to Dade, and then one day in the future, if you have any big or small affairs, they will also open up to you. β
Yang Zongbao shook his head and said, "Old grandmother, this is impossible!" β
She Taijun said: "What is impossible? β
Yang Zongbao said: "That's what you always said, how can this be the matter of them being prime ministers, then Kou Zhun sits firmly in the position of prime minister, and he is not old, so it can be Wang Qinruo's turn or Ding Gongyan." β
She Taijun said: "Zongbao, don't look at Kou Zhun who seems to be sitting firmly, but Lord Kou is too upright, and it is easy to break if he is too rigid, and it won't be long before this prime minister will be replaced." β
Yang Zongbao said disapprerovingly: "It's just that if you replace anyone, what can our Yang family do, do they even ignore the hard work of my grandfather, uncle, father, and uncle for the great Song Dynasty!" β
She Taijun said: "Alas, Zongbao, now that time has passed, there are not many people who still remember the glorious achievements of our Yang family." Now I'm afraid that person will slander in front of the emperor, and the general of the Qin State during the Warring States Period has a lot of credit, and didn't he die under the slander of Prime Minister Fan Ju later! This is a lesson from the past! So grandma, I hope you will walk around with Xie Jinwu more, and then get closer to Wang Qinruo and Ding Gongyan! Grandma is already old, she can't watch you for the rest of her life, you have to learn to find a protective umbrella by yourself. β
Yang Zongbao nodded solemnly and said, "Old grandmother, I understand!" β
She Taijun smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's good to understand, grandma is tired after sitting for a long time, so she has to go to sleep." β
Wang Qinruo, Ding Wei, and Xie Jinwu left Tianbo Yang Mansion and walked slowly along the street.
Ding Wei said to Wang Qinruo: "Lord Wang, this old lady She really deserves to be a heroine among women, and her speech and demeanor can be said to be all-encompassing, and she really has everyone's style." β
Wang Qinruo nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't!" This old Yang family is fortunate to have her there, and this has stood tall after three dynasties, which fully shows that She Lao Taijun is not just a master of the old book, but also a good way to govern the family, just take Jinwu as an example! If it had been an ordinary woman, she would have relied on her past merits to go to the court to complain. β
Ding Wei said: "Then what would be the result if Old Taijun She really had to run to the emperor to complain!" β
Wang Qinruo smiled bitterly: "What else, it must be a lose-lose situation." β
Ding Wei said: "Lord Wang, I can't understand this public statement, how can you lose both!" β
Wang Qinruo sighed and said: "Alas, to speak, you don't know that our Banzai Lord has long been unaccustomed to that old lady She, but because of the face of the first emperor and the Yang family's past merits, Jin Wu is giving Banzai an excuse, with his temperament, it is possible to cut off Jin Wu's name as the champion here, and even go to prison, and then he will order someone to demolish Tianbo Mansion, move the Yang family to another place, and take the opportunity to suppress those proud military generals." β
Ding Wei nodded and said, "Lord Wang, your analysis is reasonable, and it can be done according to the emperor's character." In fact, the emperor has long been dissatisfied with those military generals, thinking that they can only eat the old book, and few descendants can take it to the table, but it is that Kou Zhun protects the interests of those people everywhere in the court, and from time to time he says a few kind words for them in front of the emperor, so the emperor did not move them. Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Qinruo and said: "If Kou Laoxi loses his egg that day, and someone else sits in the position of prime minister, he will definitely encourage the emperor to cancel some of the treatment of that military general family." β
Wang Qinruo said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, if I didn't do that, those military generals are also for the Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan to make great contributions, isn't this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, it will be unpopular with the people." And those relatives and friends of the military general's family in the court are also intertwined, and the power is not to be looked down upon, if you don't get it right, you will be burned, if you Ding Gongyan is the prime minister, can you do that! β
Ding Wei shook his head and said: "I won't do that, if I do that, the prime minister's position will not be stable." β
