Chapter 42 What a reward?
Chapter 42 What is the reward?
In the imperial study, Yang Yuanqing stood in front of Yang Guang with his hands down, did not speak, Yang Guang reviewed the recital, looked up at him from time to time, smiled, and did not say anything, and finally Yang Yuanqing sighed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, those martial arts candidates sit-in demonstration were instigated by the minister, and they injured Yuwen Zhiji in Liren City, which was also arranged by the minister." ”
Yang Guang finally stopped writing, nodded to Yang Yuanqing and said, "I guessed that you did it, you are okay, admit it yourself, you are very bold!" How dare you incite martial arts candidates to make trouble? ”
Yang Yuanqing has been carefully understanding the holy will that his grandfather taught him, should he admit that the troubles of the martial arts scholars were his arrangement, and before making a correct judgment, he should not be stupid to admit it, because it will cause the emperor to be angry and sweep away all his achievements in the court today.
Yang Yuanqing's judgment is how much Yang Guang attaches importance to this matter, if Yang Guang attaches great importance to it, it means that the martial arts candidates are very serious about making trouble, and he can't admit it anyway, on the contrary, if Yang Guang doesn't care about this matter, then admitting it will not lose points, but give Yang Guang an honest impression.
He stood outside the imperial study and waited for the announcement, and from the beginning to the end, Yang Guang did not summon the prison "door" guards to ask about the demonstration of the martial arts candidates (the latest chapter of Wudong Qiankun 81zw), indicating that he did not take this matter to heart, and the demonstration of the martial arts candidates did not pose any psychological threat to him.
This is based on this judgment, and Yang Yuanqing admitted that he instigated the demonstration of the martial arts candidates.
He hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, in order to collect evidence of fraud, the minister has been in contact with them for the past few days, and the minister found that they are very angry, and many people still want to storm the military department, so the minister persuaded them that they can express their dissatisfaction in a peaceful way, and the minister advised them not to bring weapons, nor to use violence, and to sit quietly, so they followed the minister's advice, hoping not to disturb Your Majesty." ”
"It's alright! I was surprised that these warriors didn't bring weapons to make trouble, which didn't suit their temper, and I thought that someone must arrange it behind this, and it was probably you, I can ignore this matter, but I will never allow a second time. ”
"Don't dare, there will never be a second time."
Yang Guang really doesn't care about this matter, as long as he doesn't bring weapons, these martial artists are no different from scholars, and hundreds of 'guards' can eliminate them, Yang Guang smiled, this matter is over, he groaned, and asked: "Yuanqing, you have more contact with these martial artists, listen to their meaning, do you want to take the martial arts retest?" ”
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "Your Majesty, they don't want to retake the exam, they think in their bones that it is unfair to take the exam ten more times, he only wants to see the cheaters severely punished, so that they at least think that the saint is fair in their hearts, and the cheaters are the ones below who do it." ”
Yang Guang's purpose in launching this martial examination was to test the imperial examination, but the result of the martial examination made him very disappointed, he also realized that he was a little "" too hasty, and now he is in a hurry to launch the imperial examination, which will lead to opposition from the top to the bottom of the "door" valve, he has not been on the throne for a long time, the throne is not stable, he must first carry out some peripheral reforms, before he can gradually touch the core personnel rights of the imperial examination.
Yang Guang thought of the fraud from top to bottom in this martial arts, and only nine people were admitted fairly, he hated it in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "I have also decided, this martial arts exercise will be canceled, and none of the candidates in the examination will be hired, so that those who 'spend' money to sell officials will have nothing to lose." ”
Yang Yuanqing sighed secretly in his heart, it can be seen from this incident that Yang Guang's paranoia, in fact, he can keep the first list and cancel the second list, at least he can appease the officials above the fifth grade, and then severely punish the examiners of the military department, and give civilian candidates a "handover" generation, so that they can have the best of both worlds, but Yang Guang doesn't care about 3721, and cancels them all, so why bother holding the imperial examination in the first place?
He didn't dare to persuade or persuade, at this time he just wanted to get the reward that belonged to him.
Yang Guang seemed to understand his thoughts, so he smiled and said: "Although you encountered this matter by chance, you are very righteous, dare to 'stand up', not afraid of offending the powerful, although you are a newborn calf and are not afraid of tigers, but your behavior is commendable and you should be rewarded, every time I wanted to reward you before, I was stopped by your grandfather, now that you have left the Yang family, you don't have any worries, you tell me, what do you want me to seal you, as long as you mention it reasonably, I will consider it." ”
Yang Yuanqing had already thought of his words, he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister was humiliated by the clansmen in the Yang family, all of them said that the minister was a brave and unscrupulous martial artist, and the minister wanted to prove that the latest chapter 81zw of martial arts Qiankun showed them that the minister can not only stabilize the country for the Great Sui Anbang, but also govern the place for His Majesty, the minister can not only be martial, but also civil, and the minister is willing to guard the border for His Majesty, and I also hope that His Majesty can give the minister a chance to govern the place." ”
Yang Guang couldn't help laughing, pointed at Yang Yuanqing and said: "You stinky boy, you went around in a big circle, and you dragged the clansmen in, and said a bunch of beautiful words, you just tell me that you want to serve as the county magistrate of Dali County, isn't it?" ”
Yang Yuanqing scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't agree." ”
Yang Guang really likes this young man, he saved his "life" in Renshou Palace, persuaded himself to set up his eldest son as his heir at the birthday banquet, and moved the capital to martial arts, he can help himself, and he is very fateful to himself, and more importantly, he can't see the hypocrisy and sophistication of ordinary officials in Yang Yuanqing, this is a frank and hot-blooded, vigorous young man, since he has decided to let him replace Changsun Sheng, then he should be given more opportunities.
Thinking of this, Yang Guang smiled slightly: "Yuanqing, what you said is right, if it was in the past, I really wouldn't dare to let you govern the place, but this martial arts incident made me see that you have bravery, courage, and more importantly, you are loyal to me, which can be of great use, and I can accept your request!" ”
The smile on Yang Guang's face disappeared, he walked to the map with his hand, stared at Fengzhou on the map and pondered for a long time, then looked at Yang Yuanqing, and finally he said slowly: "Yang Yuanqing takes the order!" ”
"The minister is here!"
"I have appointed you as the county magistrate of Dali County, Fengzhou and the supervisor of Fengzhou 'Jiao' City, so that you can 'deal with' the Turks."
........
"Yuanqing, what kind of official is the supervisor of Fengzhou's 'Jiao' City?" On the way to Liren City, Niuniu asked curiously.
Next to him, Yang Wei said with envy: "Niu Niu, the 'Jiao' city supervisor is the official office in charge of border trade in the Sui Dynasty, there are four in total, one in Hexi, one in Lingwu, one in Mayi, one in Youzhou, and the Fengzhou 'Jiao' city supervisor in Yuanqing is actually responsible for the entire Lingwu Dao's trade with the Turks. ”
Niuniu's red and tender little mouth pouted slightly, she didn't like to hear people say this about Yuanqing, "Fat Saburo, what kind of 'Jiao' city supervisor you go to be may make a net worth of millions, but don't think that everyone will be like you, damaging the public's 'fat' and 'private'." ”
Yang Yuanqing smiled and said nothing, Yang Wei said a little wrong, it is not a million net worth, it should be a net worth of 10 million, but he is embarrassed to say it, for fear of ruining his image in Niuniu's heart.
The three of them soon came to the "Bo" Mansion in Liren City, at the "door" of the old store of Samujian, Yang Yuanqing saw a familiar back at a glance, thin and tall, like a bamboo pole, Yang Yuanqing turned over and dismounted, couldn't bear the "agitation" in his heart, beckoned to him and shouted in Sogdian: "Lao Kang!" ”
It was Kang Bas standing at the door of the store, he heard Yang Yuanqing, his eyes suddenly lit up, he laughed and opened his arms to greet him, and the two hugged tightly.
Yang Yuanqing looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are well blessed by the Lord God, and I smell a very strong sense of wealth." ”
Combas smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't get rich, but I saw my wife and daughter, and the Lord God blessed me, and she didn't remarry." ”
The two had been talking in Sogdian, Yang Wei scratched his scalp when he heard it, and he glanced at Niuniu, "Niuniu, what is Yuanqing talking about?" ”
Niuniu also looked suspicious, she shook her head, "I don't know, he may be talking nonsense." ”
At this time, Kang Bas saw Yang Wei and Niu Niu behind Yang Yuanqing, Yang Wei's "meat" tower-like height made him dare not look up, but Niu Niu's water spirit and handsomeness attracted his attention, "General, these two are ....."
Yang Yuanqing glanced back at the two of them and introduced him with a smile, "That tall and fat man grew up fighting with me since childhood, and he is my brother, named Yang Wei, that 'female' child, I told you, you should know." ”
Kang Bas suddenly, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute Yang Wei slightly, but gave a heavier etiquette to Niu Niu, pressed his hand on his chest, and bowed deeply, "I heard General Yang talk about you five years ago, you are his sister, and you are also his most cherished swan." ”
Niuniu told him that five years ago, she immediately remembered what Yuanqing had told her, so she asked Yang Yuanqing with a smile, "Yuanqing, is this what you said about Dali City's partner?" Lao Kang. ”
"That's him!"
Yang Yuanqing stepped forward with a smile and said to Yang Wei: "You can call him Brother Kang, his name is Kangbas, he is a native of Kangguo, and now he is a businessman in the capital." ”
Yang Wei hurriedly returned the salute, "Brother Kang!" ”
"You're welcome!"
Kang Bas smiled and gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Yang has a good figure, if this is in my hometown Kangguo, how many people are rushing to ask for a 'daughter' son-in-law." ”
Yang Wei is because he is too tall and fat, and he is a concubine, the blind date has been a failure, his figure is his biggest heartache, he is actually popular in Kangguo, he can't help but smile, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Thank you Brother Kang, I will definitely go to Brother Kang's hometown to have a look." ”
Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but secretly praise Kangbas's ability to speak, and people came and went on both sides of him, so he pulled Kangbasa aside and asked him, "Where is your store?" ”
Kang Bas shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I have already transferred the store to others, I heard that the capital is going to be moved, I am going to open a store in Luoyang, but the new capital of Luoyang is still under construction, and I will do some passing business during this time." ”
He was worried that Yang Yuanqing did not understand the meaning of buying and selling on the road, so he explained to him: "It is to collect the goods of Sogdian individual merchants, and I will sit on the ground and find people in the capital to sell them, and I will not make much money." ”
Yang Yuanqing originally wanted to find Cornell, but since he met Kangbas, he had a reliable person.
"Lao Kang, I'll entrust you with something."
Combas smiled, "General, just say, I'll do it for you." ”
Yang Yuanqing nodded, Kang Bas never let him down, so he hugged his shoulders and laughed in a low voice: "I want to go to Yingzhou first, about ten days back and forth, during this time, you help me buy a batch of goods, all of them want tea, and then help me hire a Luo Luo team, and when I come back, I will go back to Dali City directly." ”
Combas pondered for a moment, "The camel caravans are ready-made, and now it is winter, and several Sogdian camel caravans are waiting for the 'spring' in the capital, so I don't know how much tea to buy, whether it is good tea or ordinary tea?" ”
Yang Yuanqing quickly calculated the remaining money in his hand, "I now have three thousand horses of silk in my hand, and four hundred taels of gold, all of which are bought into tea. ”
Combass was taken aback, "That's a lot to buy!" ”
"So I want to trouble you, work a little harder for me, and you will have a chance to make money in the future."
Yang Yuanqing smiled at him in a low voice: "I have concurrently served as the supervisor of Fengzhou 'Jiao' City, how about it, do you want to go to Dali City with me this time." ”
Kangbas's eyes suddenly lit up, of course he knew what it meant to 'handover' the city supervisor, he rubbed his hands in excitement, "Anyway, I'm fine, I'll go to Dali City with you, and I'll buy a batch of goods, this time I want to make a good fortune for the Turks." ”
"Just waiting for your words."
Yang Yuanqing patted him on the shoulder, and pointed at Yang Wei with a smile: "My clan brother will stay to help you, if there is any trouble in the capital, he can come forward to help you solve it." ”
"Don't worry! I'll take care of the tea for you. ”
Kang Bas nodded heavily, and asked again, "General, when are you going to leave Beijing for Yingzhou?" ”
Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, and went to say goodbye to Yang Lihua tonight, and there should be nothing to do with his grandfather's side, as for the procedures on the part of the ministry, I will talk about it when I come back from Yingzhou.
He looked up at the sky, it was "overcast" and heavy, as if it was going to snow, so he smiled slightly, "Tomorrow!" I'll leave for Yingzhou early tomorrow morning. ”
