After Yang Shen left the Great Elder's residence, he walked towards the study. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, it was still early, and there were still two or three hours before dinner, so Yang Shen wanted to go to the study to routinely deal with today's affairs.

In the absence of major events, what Yang Shen can do every day is relatively fixed, in addition to practicing martial arts, it is to deal with various things of the Yang family, involving the army, the court, the caravan and all aspects within the family.

When he came to the study, he saw that the door had been opened, and it was obvious that there were already people inside. There were only two people in the entire Yang Mansion who could enter his study without his permission.

One of them was naturally the Great Elder, and his old man was still with Yang Shen just now, so now it could only be the other person inside.

His newlywed wife, Ye Lingbo and Yang Shen naturally gave her this right.

When he walked into the room, he saw Ye Lingbo sitting in front of the window reading a book, and when he saw him come in, he smiled softly at him.

This pure and beautiful smile made Yang Shen feel as if his heart was about to melt.

When I came to Ye Lingbo's side, I saw that she was reading a book related to the imperial examination.

Although the history of this world is different from Yang Shen's previous life, there are also saints who have shone like Confucius and Mencius for thousands of years, and although the works they left behind are completely different from the "Book of Songs" and "Analects", their thoughts are roughly the same, brilliant and brilliant through the ages. In addition, some of these ideas catered to the needs of successive rulers, so they were used as part of the imperial examinations.

What Ye Lingbo held in his hand was a book called "Si Xian", which had a supreme position in the literary world of this era, and the central idea was to be loyal to the monarch and love the people, especially emphasizing the divine authority of the monarch, and stipulating the three outlines and five constants.

In order to cater to the needs of the rulers, so that their doctrines can be carried forward, the principles in the book are very serious to the people's thoughts, emphasizing the dignity and the lowly, and prohibiting people from rebelling against the king, which has always been disliked by Yang Shen after being reborn.

Yang Shen was puzzled: "How could Ling Bo like to read this kind of book? With your wisdom, you should be able to realize that in order to serve the kings of the past dynasties, this book has set all kinds of restrictions on readers, and several of the three outlines and five constants are even more contrary to human nature. ”

Ye Lingbo said softly: "The husband is biased! Throughout the ages, as you say, there have been as many books that have catered to rulers as you say, so why are these only these books able to become the most respected classics of sages and sages throughout the ages? Their so-called flattery to the ruler is actually just the surface, and the truly knowledgeable person will never be confused by these things, and the husband should think about it! ”

Yang Shen smiled slightly, he actually didn't have much interest in this kind of thing, just because he saw Ye Lingbo watching "Sixian" and said a few words by the way, and he didn't have the idea of arguing with Ye Lingbo about it, the chicken nodded meter by meter, and said without feeling embarrassed, "What the good wife said is very true, but it is for her husband's shallow knowledge." ”

Ye Lingbo smiled when he heard this, and his beautiful eyes glared at him slightly: "No sincerity!" ”

Yang Shen shouted that he was wronged: "Why is the husband insincere?" He held one of Ye Lingbo's small hands and put it in his heart: "You touch it, your husband's heart is full of sincerity." ”

Ye Lingbo said angrily: "It's not in shape!" ”

After a while, she said softly, "Okay." Limbo still wants to read, obediently, do your own thing, be obedient, Limbo will reward you! ”

As she spoke, she gently kissed Yang Shen on the face with her cherry lips.

Yang Shen was a little helpless, his daughter-in-law was actually coaxing him as a child, but since Ye Lingbo had spoken, he had to stop bothering her.

He has always loved and respected this wife.

Yang Shen sat down at the desk full of all kinds of documents and began to pay attention to the matters that should be dealt with.

These documents have long been sorted out by different categories, the affairs related to the civilian, official and military generals of the Yang family are one category, the affairs related to the Yang family's commerce are one category, the Yang family's mines and land in various places are divided into one category, and the various news obtained by the Yang family through various channels is one category.

Yang Shen rummaged through all kinds of news, and after a while, he finally found what he was looking for, and he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on his face.

This is a message from a minor official of the Ministry of Rites, which says that the Tuhun envoy and the Ministry of Rites have discussed the time of departure from Beijing, and coincidentally, it is today.

Yang Shen held the fold in his hand, pondering deeply, he was thinking about where to choose to attack Lu Tianpu. Slowly, his expression changed to a smile with a cold and murderous intent.

He shouted faintly to the door: "Someone! ”

A guard walked in from outside the study, knelt down on one knee and said, "What does the head of the house command?" ”

Yang Shen said: "Invite Yang Jifeng, the commander of the Dark Guard, to the study." ”

The guard answered yes, then exited the room and went to do something for Yang Shen.

It was a cramped and dark room, and although the door was slightly open, there was not a single window in the whole room, so the light inevitably seemed dim. The dim light made the whole room feel eerie, and the furnishings in the room were very simple, a desk, a chair, and nothing else

There was a man in the chair who was flipping through the papers on the desk, and the face of the man could barely be seen in the dim light, he was about forty years old, and his face was a little sickly pale that had not seen sunlight for many years, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed at the moment, as if he was worried about something.

This middle-aged man has an uncomfortable cold aura on his body, even if he usually frowns, it will inevitably make people who see it have a chill in their hearts.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. The middle-aged man raised his head slightly and shouted, "Come in." ”

The guard walked into the room and bowed, "The little one has seen the adult." ”

The middle-aged man asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The guards were obviously very jealous of the middle-aged man, and their tone of voice was a little cautious: "My lord, the head of the family has something to look for you." ”

This guard came to find the commander of the dark department on the order of Yang Shen, obviously, this middle-aged man is Yang Jifeng. He is in a high position in the Yang family, because he has been dealing with all kinds of private affairs all the year round, and the blood of the Yang family is really stained with a lot of his hands, so most people in the Yang family are very afraid of him.

"Oh?" Yang Jifeng asked, "Has the head of the family said anything?" ”

The guard's head lowered: "The adults forgive their sins, but the little ones don't know." ”

Yang Jifeng didn't embarrass the guard, he stood up and said lightly: "Since that's the case, let's go." As he spoke, the guards naturally followed him.
