Yang Guang turned his head to the inner servants dozens of steps away and said in a deep voice: "Come to the people, spread my will, Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, is loyal to the country, and has worked hard, and recently he has presided over the construction of the Eastern Capital, and then set up special honors, since I ascended the throne, the rewards and punishments are clear, and Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, is specially transferred to the Duke of Chu, and above his official Shangshu Order, add Situ, reward millions, 50 slaves and maids, and shade his son Yang Jishan for the same ceremony." ”

The attendant who was holding the living note quickly wrote down this will, then saluted Yang Guang, and turned around to go to the Inner History Province to find the Inner History Decree.

Yang Guang suddenly raised his hand and said hurriedly: "Wait!" ”

The thin chamberlain was slightly stunned, although he had only served Yang Guang for less than a year, but he was used to seeing Yang Guang urging himself to pass the order after giving an edict, only hating his father and mother for giving birth to two legs, but he had never been called back by Yang Guang halfway.

So the chamberlain respectfully retreated, knelt on the ground, and listened to Yang Guang's next instructions.

Yang Guang's gloomy face, the corners of his mouth twitched, he glanced at the inner servant kneeling on the ground, groaned for a while, turned to Zhang Heng, and said, "General Zhang, I'm afraid I will trouble you to go through this matter." ”

Zhang Heng's heart sank suddenly, and he secretly screamed in his heart, and just wanted to laugh and excuse himself, but found that Yang Guang's cold eyes had three points of killing intent in him, and he was staring at himself, so from Zhang Heng's mouth, three words burst out with full anger: "Obey the order!" ”

An hour later, in the Yueguo Mansion in Luoyang City, the lights were bright, and a team of Xiaoguo knights were stationed outside the Yueguo Mansion, while Zhang Heng was wearing a three-grade purple python robe, dressed in court clothes, and holding a yellow edict in his right hand. Under the guidance of Yang Hong, he walked all the way to the middle hall of the Yue Guo Mansion.

Yang Su was dressed in dark red satin casual clothes. It is embroidered with gold thread. The pearls, shining golden under the illumination of lamps and candles, and the indescribable pearl luxury, also surrounded by several sons, greeted the main hall early, ready to receive the order.

The youngest Yang Jishan was also sixteen years old at this time, and he looked at his brothers with strict faces, and couldn't help muttering: "Come to announce the edict so late." Don't know what the Supreme wants to do? ”

Yang Wanshi shook his head helplessly: "Didn't you see the red demon star in the sky?" Just now, we all checked the book, saying that as soon as this red demon star comes out, there will be disasters in the world, and the Supreme must be in a hurry, and he wants to summon Ah Da to find a way. ”

Yang Xuanting snorted disdainfully: "I usually guard against Ah Da like a thief, but now that something really happens, I know that I came to find Ah Da overnight, Ah Da, according to the child, you still call yourself sick, don't get involved in this matter!" ”

Yang Xuanzong, the eldest, turned his head directly and scolded sharply: "How do you speak?" The country is in trouble. As an important minister, how can Ah Da ignore it? It's just a few of you. All of them also have official bodies, don't they blush when they say these things? ”

When Yang Xuangan was not there, Yang Xuanzong was the boss of the family, and he had the responsibility of disciplining and supervising his younger brothers.

Yang Su turned his head and shook his head: "You guys, you only know how to dance guns and sticks all day long, and tell you to study hard, all of them are reluctant, Ah Da is already old, can he still protect you for a lifetime?" Learn more from your second brother in the future and think about things with your brain! ”

Ji Shan, Wan Shi and Xuan Ting were all red with shame, and bowed their heads and said yes.

Yang Xuan took a step closer to Yang Su and whispered, "Ah Da, is it true that you were summoned to the palace to deal with it?" ”

Yang Su's expression became extremely stern: "If that's the case, it's a good thing, it shows that the Supreme is still inseparable from being a father, and he still needs to use a father, but I'm afraid of ......."

Before Yang Su's words fell, there was a sound of footsteps outside, Yang Hong led Zhang Heng, who was in court clothes, followed by two majestic guards in military uniforms, and came to the outside of the main hall.

A smile immediately bloomed on Yang Su's face, and he took the initiative to take a few steps forward, and smiled at Zhang Heng: "General Zhang, why are you here to pass the edict today." ”

Zhang Heng didn't have any expression on his face, and nodded at Yang Su, which was regarded as a return salute: "Yue Guogong, there is an urgent edict in the sage, saying that the Duke of Yue Guo is loyal to the country and has worked hard, and he can't just send an inner servant Huangmen to announce the edict to you. ”

After Yang Su heard this, a shadow floated in his heart, and his heart was also "Geden", and he sank quickly, he had seen this situation many times, Yang Jian sent important ministers to lead troops to the door every time he dismissed officials or even raided his home.

But Yang Su's face did not show any panic, years of ups and downs in officialdom and blood on the battlefield had already made him collapse in front of him without changing his color. Yang Su put away his smile, took two steps forward, stood in the center of the hall, gave up the top position to Zhang Heng, and said calmly: "Since this is the case, please also ask the angel to announce the edict!" ”

The sons also stood behind Yang Su, Zhang Hengqiang held back the excitement in his heart, coughed dryly, walked to the main seat in the hall, opened the edict unhurriedly, and said in a deep voice: "The Supreme has a decree, Shangshu Order, Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, receives the decree!" ”

Yang Su lifted his front placket and knelt down like a jade pillar pushing Jinshan, and behind him, several sons also knelt down one after another, listening to Zhang Heng's subdued voice read out the edict.

Compared with the few sentences dictated by Yang Guang at the beginning, this edict has been polished much more gorgeously by Xue Daoheng, a contemporary writer in the Ministry of Internal History, but when it comes to it, there is only one central meaning: Yang Su's merits are great, he is loyal to the country, rewards are necessary, and the position of the Duke of Chu cannot be shirked!

When Yang Su heard that "the title of the prince of Zijin is the Duke of Chu, hereditary replacement, and 3,000 households", his heart swelled, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood went directly to his throat, but fortunately he forcibly held back, Zhang Heng only saw his back move slightly, and then he was as before.

After Zhang Heng finished reading the edict, he put on a smiling face: "The Duke of Chu has worked hard and made great achievements, the Supreme One is a piece of loyalty to you, and the lower officials congratulate the Duke of Chu." Chu Guogong, take the order. ”

Yang Su's heart was spinning rapidly, when the Red Demon Star first appeared tonight, he had judged that there was a great mourning in the field anyway. And when I heard the news that Zhang Heng came to the door late at night. He anticipated a variety of outcomes.

This plan to remove the calamity of being named the Duke of Yingguo or the Duke of Chu is the worst outcome. Regardless of whether something strange really happened, he could only die, so that Yang Guang believed that he had blocked the disaster for the royal family, and only in this way could he keep the whole family safe.

Zhang Heng's voice sounded again, this time compared to the humility of the first time, there was a faint threat: "Duke Chu Guo, please accept the order and thank you." The Supreme is still waiting for the lower official to return to his life. ”

Yang Su sighed and said: "Minister Yang Su is grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

After Yang Su finished speaking, he held his knees and stood up with difficulty, a burst of Venus shining in front of him, he could barely stand, his sons had never seen a strong man, even Ah Da, who had no signs of illness just now, couldn't even stand firmly, and stayed in place all of a sudden. However, Yang Jishan, the youngest, always felt that something was wrong with Yang Su, and stepped forward to support the crumbling Yang Su. He shouted with concern: "Ah Da! ”

Yang Su came back to his senses and realized that Zhang Heng was still looking at him coldly, so he smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm old, I just got up from this kneeling, and my brain was a little dizzy, which made General Zhang laugh." ”

Zhang Heng sneered in his heart, he knew that Yang Su had understood what he meant just now, and now what he had to do was to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, in case Yang Su didn't want to sit still, and the net would be broken, his life would have to be explained here.

So Zhang Heng pretended to be concerned, stepped forward and held Yang Su's hand tightly, and by the way, he stuffed the edict into Yang Su's hand: "Duke Chu Guo, you must take care!" The Great Sui can't live without the Duke of Chu for a day! ”

Yang Su still stood in place, and said mechanically in his mouth: "There is General Lao Zhang, and I have to trouble General Zhang to return to the Holy Lord, and the old minister will thank you." ”

Zhang Heng smiled "hehe", nodded, and was about to speak, but bumped into the eyes of the sons of the Yang family standing behind Yang Su, and there was no joy on their faces, especially Yang Xuanzong's eyes were almost bursting with fire.

Zhang Heng was frightened, he knew that Yang Su's son was also a tiger general who had killed people on the battlefield, although Yang Xuangan, who was known as invincible in the world, was not there, but Yang Xuanzong, Yang Xuanting and others were also famous, all of them were strong men with tigers on their backs, and they were more like real battlefield generals than themselves, a civilian official with the name of a general.

So Zhang Heng hurriedly saluted Yang Su, left in a hurry, and when he walked through the threshold of the hall, he almost tripped because of his hurried movements, and finally held the door frame with his left hand so that he did not have a close contact with the ground.

Zhang Heng's footsteps disappeared in the distance, and Yang Xuanzong took a step forward, walked to Yang Su's side, and said in a low voice: "Ah Da, the Supreme issued an edict when there was a calamity, neither did he want you to enter the palace to discuss countermeasures, nor did he ask you what kind of celestial phenomenon this is, but for no reason you promoted your title to the Duke of Chu State, and you were an official and a reward, and even Ji Shan gave an official, I'm afraid it's not normal." ”

Yang Su had gradually recovered from the sudden huge blow just now, he glanced at Yang Xuanzong beside him, and saw that his eyes were full of concern, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Among Yang Su's many sons, except for the eldest son Yang Xuangan, who is both civil and military, that is, this Xuanzong is calm and magnanimous, obviously higher than the other brothers, looking at him like this, most of them should have guessed the meaning of this edict, but they didn't dare to find it out in front of all the brothers. “

Yang Su glanced back at the other sons, and turned back into the prime minister of the dynasty who was as imposing as Yue Yuan, and he said in a deep voice: "Go back, get up early tomorrow to study and practice martial arts, and my father will test your homework tomorrow." Accumulate goodness, especially you, don't think that there is anything great about giving an official, when is it the ability to go to the battlefield with real swords and guns to win an official with military merits, and the first one to check from you tomorrow. ”

Xuan Ting, Ji Shan and the others just saw some clues from Yang Su and Xuan Zong's abnormal expressions when they received the order, although they felt that something was still wrong in their hearts, but Yang Su's cold and sharp eyes pressed them so that they didn't dare to say a word, and they bowed one by one and retreated.

Yang Su glanced at Xuan, Yang Xuan comprehended, followed Yang Su out of the living room, walked to the study, and went directly into the secret room.

The candlelight in the secret room was as dark and flickering as ever, Yang Su sat on the Taishi chair above, with his hand on his chin, speechless for a long time, and he was in a state of deep groaning, and Yang Xuanzong didn't dare to disturb Ah Da's train of thought lightly when he saw him like this. Just standing in the hall. Waiting for Yang Su's opening.

Half a day. Yang Sucai slowly raised his head, and Yang Xuanzong was surprised to find that at this moment, Yang Su seemed to be ten years old, and his face, which was already full of wrinkles, was even more deep furrows at this time.

And the cheek, which had been ruddy and smooth until this afternoon, suddenly became wrinkled like dead bark. Without a trace of vitality and vitality, Yang Su went from a sixty-six-year-old man to a dying man at least eighty years old in this moment.

Yang Xuanzong was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall, his nose was sore, and two lines of tears unconsciously flowed down from the corners of his eyes: "Ah Da, what's wrong with you?" He didn't care about etiquette at this time, so he took two steps forward, knelt on the ground, hugged Yang Su's thigh and cried bitterly.

Yang Su raised his right hand and caressed Yang Xuanzong's head lovingly. These hands, which have been maintained like middle-aged people, have become old now. Everywhere he opened his skin, he stroked Yang Xuanzong and said: "Xuanzong, don't cry, my father has taught you to be strong since you were a child, and men don't talk about tears when they have tears." ”

And Yang Xuanzong heard Yang Su's old voice, and while shaking his head, he cried even more fiercely, tears flowing, making Yang Su's fine satin clothes inlaid with gold thread pearls wet a whole lot.

After Yang Xuanzong cried for a while, he wiped his tears, raised his head, looked at Yang Su with tears in his eyes, and choked up: "Ah Da, is it that Yang Guang wants to use a plan to move the disaster, and transfer it to our Yang family and your head?" ”

Yang Su was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Yang Xuanzong to actually read the book of astronomy and astronomy, knowing this evil plan, he smiled, took out a handkerchief, wiped the tears that were flowing down on Xuan Zong's face, and said: "Xuan Zong, you really impressed your father, and even knew this, you should really let Xuan Ting and Wan Shi learn more from you." ”

The thing that Yang Xuanzong was most worried about was finally confirmed from Yang Su's mouth, he grabbed Yang Su's hand at once, and said hurriedly: "Ah Da, the faint king has attacked us, can we just sit back and wait for death?!" I'm going to Songzhou to find my eldest brother now, our Yang family is not a bad breed, and we will die vigorously, and we will fight with the dog emperor! ”

Yang Xuanzong's voice did not fall, only to hear a "snap", Yang Su's already thin hands slapped him heavily on the face, and suddenly left five bright red fingerprints on his right cheek, and Yang Su was angry this time, and used his strength, and Yang Xuanzong was beaten so hard that his eyes were full of stars, and even his ears were roaring, but the nose and the corners of his mouth did not bleed directly like when he was beaten when he was a child.

Yang Xuanzong covered half of his face and said in astonishment: "Ah Da, is the child wrong?" The faint monarch already clearly wants your life, even if you only accept this duke of the Chu State, as long as you don't die, the faint monarch will not feel that you helped him block the disaster, and he still wants to put you to death, this truth can be seen by children, don't you understand?! ”

Yang Su's voice sounded slowly, with a trace of undoubted majesty in his calmness: "If I had rebelled for my father, I wouldn't have let Zhang Heng walk out of the gate of my Wang family alive just now." Xuan Zong, your talent is good now, but how do you do things is still so impulsive and not calm? ”

Yang Xuanzong gritted his teeth and said, "Calm down? Now it's the faint king who wants Ah Da's life, how can the child calm down! Now the army of Zuo Xiaowei on duty this year is in Luokou, and there are only 10,000 Xiaoguo in the city, as long as we recall the eldest brother and unite Tang Guogong and Li Mi, we will suddenly attack in this Luoyang City, and there may not be no chance! ”

Yang Su sighed: "Xuanzong, if you come like this, there really won't be any chance." First of all, Yang Guang made this will, he must have expected the possibility of our desperate fight, and he would make a deployment as soon as possible, now outside our house, there must be spies everywhere, even if a cat and a dog run out, they can't escape their eyes, and at this time, it is impossible for us to notify Xuan Gan. ”

Yang Xuanzong was a little unconvinced, thinking that there are so many excellent spies in our family, breaking through everywhere, and there will always be a few people going out, and it can be said that Ah Da is sick, and he wants his eldest brother to come back to visit.

But before he could speak, Yang Su's gentle voice came from his ears: "Second, even if you can find some reasons, such as being sick for your father, for example, your younger brother is injured and dying, and you want Xuangan to come back urgently, but after Xuangan comes back, what can you do?" ”

"He used to be able to mobilize the Xiaoguo cavalry because he had the Tiger Talisman in his hand, and without the Tiger Talisman, how many people would recognize him? How many of the Devil Guards will risk their own extermination to rebel with us? ”

Yang Xuanzong knew that Yang Su was telling the truth, but he replied unwillingly: "Then don't wait for the eldest brother, we will urgently contact Tang Guogong, and rely on the soldiers of our two families to take Xiyuan directly, and the child is willing to be the striker!" ”

Yang Su slapped the handrail heavily and said sharply: "Nonsense! ”

Glancing at his son, who was still full of anxiety and was about to cry again, Yang Su's heart softened, and he sighed: "Just these family members in our house, there are no war horses, no long weapons, no armor, only short knives and short swords, and they want to confront the Xiaoguo army armed to the teeth, that is purely looking for death, Xuanzong, you yourself have been on the battlefield a few times, don't you know the combat power of Xiaoguo?" ”

Yang Xuanzong was so anxious that two lines of tears flowed down again: "As a son, you can't just watch Ah Da kill Dujun like this, it's really not good, let's accept this edict first, and then think of a way after a while when the security is lax, isn't the eldest brother a hero who has been contacting all parties?" As long as someone starts an incident, we can at least be ordered to go out again, there will always be a way. ”

Yang Su's eyes suddenly soared, and he grabbed Yang Xuanzong's hand at once, staring at his eyes tightly, and a strong murderous aura emanated from his body, and even the candle flame in the hall suddenly shook violently: "Xuanzong, you tell the truth, who is suing you Xuangan for contacting the heroes and heroes of all parties, who is it!" ”

Yang Xuanzong was heartbroken this time, not afraid of Yang Su's momentum, his eyes didn't blink, and he said loudly: "Ada, the child is not stupid, the eldest brother has rarely stayed at home since he came back from worrying about his mother Ding the year before last, and as long as he is not there, the red whisk will also disappear at home, the child knows that the red whisk is the female director of our family's external intelligence, and the eldest brother has been out for more than a year, or he still follows the red whisk, this will definitely not be a tour of the mountains and rivers." ”

"Since Ah Da was alienated by the emperor a few years ago, we all know that when Yang Guang comes to power, our family will definitely have no good fruit to eat, because Ah Da and his eldest brother have participated in too many unsightly things for him, and they refused to marry back then. The Guan Long Hu generals in Daxing City are well guarded, but the local powerful clan is impossible for the royal family to completely control, if it is me, I will also go to the local area to make friends with heroes, and introduce foreign aid, once there is a change, the world will respond! ”

Yang Su let go of the hands that were holding Yang Xuanzong tightly, and sighed: "Xuanzong, you have always been meticulous, it's hard for you to think of this, I knew that my father should have let you go out to practice earlier." ”

Yang Xuanzong shook his head: "It's okay for the eldest brother to do this kind of thing alone, after all, he will take over our Hongnong Yang clan in the future." What the children need to do is to restrain and discipline several younger brothers at home to prevent them from going astray, and Ah Da always needs the children to serve him. ”

Yang Su sighed: "If the emperor's education of the children is half as good as ours, brotherhood, why is it like this." ”

Yang Xuanzong was silent for a moment and said, "Ah Da, is there really no other way to get rid of this matter?" If it doesn't work, we just flee to a foreign country with our family, this is also the way. ”

Yang Su's eyes were filled with tears: "Xuanzong, my father is old, and he can't run, and besides, such a big family, and he is in the Eastern Capital, how can he run to a foreign country?" Even if I fled to a foreign country, the ancestral graves of my Hongnong Yang family are all here, do you want to watch my ancestors let their ancestors dig up their graves and scatter ashes? This matter will not be left for the time being, and it is the father's own plan. ”

Yang Xuanzong was in a hurry, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Yang Su with a wave of his hand: "Xuanzong, there is no need to persuade again, what you just said today, for the sake of patriarchy, when you are in a hurry, talking nonsense, out of this secret room, you are not allowed to say more than half a word, and you must be tight-lipped to the brothers, at most, it is only said that the Supreme further elevates the father, gives the father a false position, and squeezes out of the actual decision-making circle." (To be continued......)
