Chapter 30: A Precursor to Troubled Times

Yang Shen and the Great Elder walked together in the imperial city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Kaikai was a little puzzled: "Shen'er, the Tuhun people want to marry Princess Qianqiu, which is beneficial and harmless to my Yang family." After they say that after the minister marries the princess, he will have to stop for a few years, and my Yang family's sons and daughters and elite soldiers can also die less on the battlefield, so that both the emperor and my Yang family are happy, why bother with the emperor for this matter? “

Yang Shen smiled and said: "Third grandfather, if it is not that the grandson has nothing to do, you should have read the relevant documents sent to you by my Yang family's secret guards about the Tuhun people's desire to marry, and the nephew they asked for to marry felt very inappropriate." ”

Yang Kaikai couldn't understand: 'Those things are everywhere in my Central Plains, what's wrong?' “

It was impossible for Yang Shen to tell her that the Tang Dynasty in his other world was the most powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty after the Tang Dynasty because Princess Wencheng was made by Princess Wencheng and Tubo, so he had to start from scratch and explain in detail to Yang that these dowry materials could cause the changes in the life of the Tuhun people and the development of their strength.

After listening to this, Yang Kaikai suddenly felt empowered, not only did he not feel a little unhappy because he was not as thoughtful as his grandchildren, but he was relieved: "Shen'er, you have such a vision, it is really a blessing for thousands of children of my Yang family." The old man was worried that you were too young to be insightful and difficult to be qualified for the position of head of the family, but now it seems that the old man is too worried. ”

Yang Shen secretly screamed ashamed in his heart, if it weren't for the experience of another world, he would not have been able to have this kind of foresight anyway.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Virtuous nephew, please stay." ”

Yang Shen and the others turned around, but saw a middle-aged fat man with a big belly and a round face running towards them at a trot, with some beads of sweat on his forehead, it was obvious that he had been running for a long time. With this fat man's size, it's really hard for him.

He ran to the two of them, bowed down respectfully towards Yang Kai, and his tone was very respectful: "Boy Ziye is safe, I have seen Yang Lao." ”

This fat man who claimed to be Ye An'an was born in the Ye family of Xianzhou, and was the brother of the head of the family, Ye Jingtao, and Ye Lingbo's uncle.

He is one of the Cabinet Auxiliary Ministers, and the original body of Yang Shen has known him many years ago.

The capital is so big, and there are very few important people in each family who don't know each other.

The reason why he was very respectful to Yang Kaikai was because Yang Kaifang was the elder of the Yang family for three generations, assisting the three heads of the family, shrewd and capable, and prestigious. Especially after the death of Yang Shen's father, he was in charge of the overall situation of the Yang family for the past two years. Not only did the Yang family not panic and decline because the new head of the family was young, but because he dared to unite with the Ye family and other families that had never dealt with the Yang family, he had a further situation.

Many of the rulers of the gate valve family saw his clever methods, and they did not dare to be careless about him at all, and they all admired him very much.

This old man is always smiling when talking to people, and his amiable appearance is very deceptive, and it is always easy for people to let down their guard, and it is possible to fall into his way unconsciously, so he is called "smiling tiger" in private.

Yang Kai stretched out his hand to support Ye An'an: "Virtuous nephew, Ling Bo married into my Yang family, you are the wife of my Yang family, you and I are not outsiders, so there is no need to be polite." ”

Yang Shen saluted Ye An'an: "The little nephew has seen his uncle, and he thanked his uncle for his help." ”

Yang Shen knew that if it weren't for Ye An'an's secret signal, it would be impossible for the civil officials of the Ye family to stand up and support him, and they would not be able to create such a big momentum, forcing Li Shimin to be embarrassed and angry, and directly ordered the cabinet to vote without the consent of the courtiers.

If this kind of move is done too much, it will deal a big blow to Li Shimin's prestige.

Ye An'an smiled: "You and I have a friendship of in-laws, and we should help each other." “

Yang Shen seemed to think so, nodded and said, "What my uncle said is very true. “

Yang Shen knew that this reason was actually just an excuse.

If the Taizu Taizong of the Li family was alive and the Li dynasty was still stable in Mount Tai, not to mention marrying a daughter of the head of the family, it would be impossible for the Ye family to do something like today to openly unite with the Yang family against the emperor.

The Li family has enjoyed the country for 300 years, and the times have changed a lot.

In this world, it is not peaceful.

The continuous annexation of land by the family lords, and the increasing greed of officials and generals without a bottom line, have made this dynasty almost unsustainable.

No one knows this better than the families who hold the power of the country.

Whether it is agreeing to the Yang family's request for marriage, or helping Yang Shen in the court today, they are all taking precautions, building a good relationship with the Yang family in advance, and preparing for the big changes that may come in the future.

Although the Ye family is rich and rivals the country and has great power in the court, due to the deep fear of the emperors of the past dynasties for the family of the head of this thousand-year-old family, the Ye family has never openly controlled the military power, even if they secretly use various means, the soldiers and horses they have are still extremely limited.

And the Yang family has deep strength in the military, except for the Shence Legion and the Shenwu Legion, which are two of the four main legions of the Great Chu State, which are in the hands of the Li family, and they also have a righteous name, which makes them faintly able to suppress the Yang family in the military, and the rest of the Changsun family or the Wen family, their strength in the army cannot be compared with the Yang family.

What's more, the Wen family, as the third largest force in the military, has always been friendly with the Yang family.

This made the Yang family their most suitable ally in troubled times.

As for not planning to attach himself to the royal family, it is because the Li family has decayed to the point of incurability.

But as long as there is still a glimmer of hope in the Great Chu Kingdom, the family and the gate valve will not give it up easily, but will choose to continue to cling to this big tree to suck blood.

The Ye family needs the Yang family to protect their property and population from loss, and if the Yang family wants to compete in the world, it is inseparable from the wealth and connections of the Ye family, the nominal head of the family.

Especially in terms of talents, although the Yang family has never given up cultivating in secret because of a feud with the Li family of the royal family for three hundred years, the foundation of the Yang family is in the army after all, and the talents in governance have always been incomparable with the Ye family.

With the memories of the two lives as a reference, and after figuring out these, Yang Shen had a clear understanding of the reason why the Ye family was helping each other in the court today.

Suddenly, Ye An'an's face was full of seriousness, and he said solemnly to Yang Shen: "Virtuous nephew, you and Ling Bo have been married for two days, let's take her back to the Ye family tomorrow, your father-in-law has something to discuss with you." ”

Then he respectfully said to Yang Kai: "This matter is very important, and I invite you to come with the old man." “

Although Yang Kaikai didn't understand what made Ye An'an value it so much, after all, there was nothing important in the Chu State in the near future except for the police in northern Xinjiang. But the police in northern Xinjiang have their own emperors and Wen family who control the windward army stationed in northern Xinjiang, and they don't have much to do with them, but he still nodded and agreed.

Yang Kaikai obviously didn't know that if the Eagle people continued to increase their troops, Yang Shen would have the possibility of going to the battlefield.

After finishing the business, the atmosphere naturally relaxed, the three of them talked and laughed, left the palace, and went back to the Yang family and the Ye family along the White Tiger Avenue.
