Chapter 70: Planning for the Future
In the guest room, Wang Yue had already started drinking the fourth pot of tea. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Rao was waiting angrily on the side, with resentment on her face. Zhang Forget often treats her father slowly, which makes her very annoyed.
The horse sat sideways, nose and nose, and pretended to be mute.
Master Wang Yue's swordsmanship is ten times higher than him, and Zhang Wang's wisdom is ten times higher than him, these two people have their own reasons for how to do things, and it is not their turn for someone like himself to intervene. I am the life of coarse tea and light rice, and there is no need to the heart of the delicacies of the mountains and seas.
"Sir, my grandfather is a marquis!"
Xiao Yang Xiu ran in like a gust of wind, his hat was crooked, and he was immediately embarrassed when he saw that it was not Zhang Forget sitting in the room.
Wang Yue heard his words clearly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up and congratulated: "Lingzu Fenghou? This is really a great event, congratulations to the little boy. ”
Yang Xiu hurriedly returned the salute: "Thank you, sir." ”
Wang Yue kindly pulled him to sit down in front of the long case and asked, "What is the merit of Ling Zu to be made a marquis?"
Yang Xiu said happily: "The matter of my transcription of the formula and distribution to the people in Huayin has been reported to the imperial court by the local government, and the imperial court thinks that this is a good deed, benefiting the people, and giving me a credit to the Yang family." Yesterday, Zhang Wangjin offered his family property, and the Taiwei Mansion also came with five million money, demonstrating his heart to serve the king, and he made another contribution. The two merits were rewarded, and His Majesty made a special decree to make my grandfather a countryman. ”
When Wang Yue heard this, he was envious in his heart. These two things are said to be the credit of the Yang family, but it is better to say that it is the credit of Zhang Wang. The method of brewing vinegar was provided by Zhang Wang, and the donation of family property was also led by Zhang Wang, without the foreshadowing in front of Zhang Wang, there would be no credit for Yang's back.
Zhang Wangshi Shiran came in from outside the door and apologized to Wang Yue: "Let Brother Xian wait for a long time, forgive your sins." ”
Wang Yue waved his hand, and was about to speak, when he saw Yang Xiu jumping over excitedly: "Sir, sir, my grandfather has been made a marquis!" ”
Zhang Forget was not surprised at all, and asked him, "But the Marquis of Linjin?" ”
Yang Xiu's eyes widened in surprise: "As soon as His Majesty's will arrived at the Taiwei Mansion, I ran out to report the news, how could you know in advance?" ”
Zhang Forget smiled proudly: "I am familiar with the Book of Changes, I can pinch and calculate, I know five hundred years before, five hundred years later, which one can hide the things of the world from my ears and eyes?" ”
Yang Xiu saw that he was talking nonsense again, and knew that he couldn't ask what was going on, so he said happily: "Your Majesty sent two teams of small chamberlains to the Taiwei Mansion to deliver the decree, and the rewards such as silk and satin, wine and delicacies were enough to load several carts, and you don't know how lively that scene was." ”
Zhang Forgot pursed his lips, and said in his heart What is this, when your grandfather died in two months, that scene will be called lively.
According to historical records, Yang Ci died in October 185, the emperor wore mourning clothes, did not go to court for three days, gave the coffin and clothes of the East Garden, gave money 3 million, and 500 pieces of cloth. And issued an edict to mourn, and ordered Zuo Zhonglang to take Guo Yi as the envoy and posthumously present Yang Cihussar General Sikong Seal Ribbon. When it was time to be buried, Emperor Ling ordered the imperial Shi to send the funeral, and Lantai ordered Shi Shi to send Yulin knights and light chariot agents, and played propaganda before and after, and ordered the hussar general's subordinates and Sikong honor guards to be buried in the cemetery. The ministers and below all attended the funeral.
Throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty, the funeral was more grand than his, that is, Yingchuan Chen Yu.
Of course, this is a later story, and you can't talk to Yang Xiu at this time, otherwise you will definitely turn against each other.
Seeing Yang Xiu's eyes staring at him without blinking, waiting for him to praise a few words, Zhang Wangleng snorted and said, "What's so great about it, it's worth your happiness to be like this?" My father is also a marquis, have you seen me show off? ”
Yang Xiu shook his head: "How can this be the same?" The marquis is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, my grandfather is a country marquis, and your father is a pavilion marquis, so he is not there at all...... Ah! Why are you hitting me? ”
Zhang Forget finished knocking on his head and pointed out the door: "You get me out." ”
Yang Xiu walked out of the door and said unconvinced: "My grandfather's township marquis is capable of attacking the lord, and your father's pavilion marquis is a lord, and he can't pass it down, do you know?" ”
As Yang Xiu spoke, he glanced back at Zhang Wang, and saw that he had raised a clay pot, and was about to smash it, so he hurriedly hugged his head and ran away.
Although the way of saying goodbye was a little indecent, it finally made Zhang Forget depressed, and it was quite relieving to think about it.
Zhang Forget sat down in front of the long case and said to Wang Yue: "Since Your Majesty openly sold the official mantle, this marquis has become more and more worthless, is Brother Xian interested in asking for a knighthood?" ”
Wang Yue smiled bitterly when he heard this, he had been working hard for several years, and he didn't even get a half-official position, how dare he dare to be knighted.
Zhang Forget slowly took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Xian's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world. But he has been famous for a long time, and he still has no talent, but have you ever reflected on the reason? ”
Wang Yue sighed gloomily and said: "My brother is from a humble background, and he is not in the eyes of those high-ranking officials and nobles. ”
"From humble beginnings?" Zhang Forget sneered, "Wei Qing is a slave who herds sheep, but he is the official to the general of the Great Sima and the Marquis of Changping, his background is not humble?" Emperor Gaozu is a scoundrel in the countryside, but he swept the world and was ranked in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, his background is not humble? He Jin is a butcher who kills sheep, and now he is an official to Henan Yin, his background is not humble? ”
Wang Yue shook his head and said: "Two of the three of them are relatives, and one was born in troubled times, how can he be compared with me?" ”
Zhang Forget turned his head and glanced at Wang Rao, who was slim and picturesque, and said with a smile: "If Brother Xian wants to be a relative, it is not without a chance. ”
Wang Rao saw that he instigated his father to send him into the palace, and suddenly he was so angry that his apricot eyes were round, his silver teeth were clenched, and he couldn't wait to immediately pull out his sword and stab him to death with a sword.
Wang Yue's face changed, and he flatly refused: "My Wang Yue has no future, and he will never do anything to sell his daughter for glory." ”
Zhang Wangchong winked at Wang Rao, turned back to Wang Yue and said, "It is worthy of being my righteous brother, and his dignified style is exciting." If you are really willing to sell your daughter for glory, I will immediately cut off your robe and break off your righteousness, and you will never get along with each other in old age. What can't be sold to people who can even sell their families? ”
Wang Rao snorted coldly, and her face was a little better.
Wang Yue couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart, "You don't approve of what you say about him, purely to test my heart?
Zhang Forget pondered for a while, and said earnestly: "Brother Xian has ambitions but has never been able to display them, in fact, he has not found the right way. ”
Wang Yue knew that Zhang Forget would not be full of food and ridicule himself, and there might be a deep meaning in every sentence, so he seriously asked: "How can you say this, brother Xian?" ”
Zhang Wang said seriously: "If you want to be appreciated by others, the secret is actually only four words, and that is to do what you like." ”
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows: "Do what you like?" ”
"Yes, just do what you like." Zhang Forget gave an example, "King Wen's reuse of Jiang Ziya is a strategy that loves him. Prince Yan reused Jing Ke because he loved his martial arts, and Zhao Gao supported Hu Hai to take the throne, which was his obedience. You have a gorgeous swordsmanship, but you always have ambitions, which is why the people who entrusted it did not do what they liked. ”
Wang Yue tightened his brows and did not speak.
Zhang Forget continued: "The three princes and nine kings, all of them are literati doctors, and they love to write poems the most. Your Majesty and the Ten Standing Attendants, frolicking and having fun every day, drunk and dreaming of death, is there anyone who really values your excellent martial arts? No one really values your skills, so what's the use of your swordsmanship, no matter how good you are?"
Wang Yue was disheartened by what he said, and said gloomily: "However, I have nothing to boast about except for martial arts. ”
Zhang Forget smiled: "Who said that you have nothing to boast about except for martial arts?" You still have my good brother. With me helping you, why worry about big things? ”
It is rare for Wang Rao not to be disgusted by Zhang Wang's self-praise. She pitied her father very much, and hoped that her father would get ahead and no longer be insulted everywhere. If Zhang Forget can help his father fulfill his dream, he likes to brag about his little problem, and it is not unbearable. ”
Wang Yue saw that Zhang Forget clearly expressed his willingness to help him, and said excitedly: "Brother Xian is full of talent, there must be a way to teach me." ”
Zhang Forget smiled slightly, motioned for the horse to wrap up and guard the door, and motioned to Wang Rao on the side to pour tea for herself.
Wang Rao glared at him in annoyance, and took advantage of the gap between pouring tea for him to step on his feet.
Zhang Forget gasped, bared his teeth and said to Wang Yue: "Brother Xian gave birth to a good daughter, virtuous and virtuous, gentle and amiable, very lovable." ”
Wang Yue's martial arts have been perfected, how could he not notice what happened under his nose, he smiled bitterly, and said to Zhang Wang, who deliberately said the opposite: "The family is unfortunate, raising this arrogant daughter makes the virtuous brother laugh." As an elder, you don't have the same knowledge as her. ”
When Zhang Forget heard the word "elder", he regained a little face, no longer paid attention to Wang Rao, who was gritting his teeth on the side, and said directly to Wang Yue: "The so-called doing what he likes, fighting with the two is the same reason, find the weakness of the other party, and you can succeed with one blow." From the emperor to the peddler and pawn, there are those with good reputation, those with good profits, those with good power, and those who are lustful, as long as they do what they like, they will be invincible. ”
Wang Yue didn't speak, but he thought in his heart, I don't have these things myself, how can I give them to others?
Zhang Forget said with a smile: "Let's take the emperor as an example, what the emperor asks for is immortality, the second is eternal country, the third is gold and silver treasures, and the fourth is lustful dogs and horses." ”
Wang Yue's face was even more ugly, and he couldn't help any of the things that the emperor begged for. He was willing to fight on the battlefield and help the emperor build an iron bucket, but unfortunately he came from a humble background, and it was impossible for the emperor to let him take charge of the army.
Zhang Forget helped him analyze: "Brother Xian is a brave and passionate character, and it is impossible to accompany the king like the ten permanent servants, so this road will not work."
If you don't have enough status and status, the more you have, the more you will kill yourself. I'm a vivid example of how I wouldn't have been able to do my fate if I hadn't donated my family property one step earlier. Brother Xian came from a humble background, and he was not as good as me, so this path would not work.
It is the dream of every emperor to perpetuate the country, because only in this way can their vested interests not be harmed and they can enjoy wealth forever for generations to come. The virtuous brother came from a humble background, and he refused to follow the path of his relatives, and this road was also blocked. ”
When Wang Yue heard this, his heart was cold, you analyzed and analyzed, and blocked the road, so what should I do? Are you destined to do nothing in your life?
