The "chance encounter" with King Kang Zhao Kang had no impact on Yang Zhi's life. Accompany the two wives who are about to give birth, and go to the Weifu every day, and the days are still like that.

In this rare peaceful and comfortable little day, the most talked about in the Hou Mansion are, of course, the two children in the wombs of Shen Yu and Zhao Yan.

The concept of "mothers are more expensive than sons" has been deeply rooted in this era, and Shen Yu and Zhao Yan have each asked Yang Zhi at least a hundred times in private: Do you want a son or a daughter?

For giving birth to boys and girls, Yang Zhizhen, who is a man in two lives, really doesn't matter. What's more, he knew that the decisive factor in giving birth to a boy or a girl was the father, not the mother. tirelessly gave the two stupid wives the same answer: Shenggu is happy to lose. As long as you are healthy and your limbs are sound, you can be an individual.

In addition to the two young ladies of the Yang Mansion, the most nervous is the old man Yang Yan.

Yang Yan has married a lot of wives and concubines in his life, but he only got Yang Zhi, the only seedling. Even so, because of his serious illness, he was stupid and almost ruined the Yang family's incense. When he was in Xinyang's hometown, because of the character problems of business, Yang Yan was not less ridiculed by others, and was even scolded in front of him many times. The word "retribution" has long been Yang Yan's most taboo word.

Now that the son not only has a great future, but also marries a four-room wife and concubine, and has two daughters-in-law who are pregnant and waiting to give birth, seeing that the Yang family is about to have a future, and the prosperity of the people is just around the corner, how can Yang Yan not be ecstatic?

Everyone in the Yang Mansion and the neighborhood knows that the old man of the Yang family likes to be the most lively on weekdays. Originally, out of a crazy love for wealth, when he talked about silver, he couldn't help but have a green light in his eyes. Later, due to his son's perverted ability to hold money and intentional indulgence, the old man already had a super immunity to silver. Or rather, it's numb.

With fox friends and dog friends of three religions and nine streams, shouting three drinks and four fighting cards to play birds and brag and show off. Originally, it was also his old man's favorite. And since the two daughters-in-law are pregnant, no matter who they are. As long as he speaks a little louder near the inner house, the old man will immediately turn his face and deny people!

The old man's original belief and respect for the God of Wealth Bodhisattva was far better than the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors on the shrine. Because the two daughters-in-law are pregnant, the thirteenth generation of the ancestors of the Yang family has also carried out a perfect counterattack on the God of Wealth Bodhisattva.

Among the people of the Hou Mansion and the neighbors, there are many people who are active. As long as you see the opportunity, list one or two "signs" in front of the old man that the Yang family will add two young masters. Yang Yanming knew that it was nonsense, and in order to ask for a lip service, he casually gave a reward of a few taels to dozens of taels of silver.

As the chief domestic servant of the Yang Mansion, Ah Fu, even if he is not angry, he can only secretly slander himself.

In Yang Mansion, like Ah Fu, a person who is a little anxious, there is also Liu Er. Liu Er was meritorious because of his escort, and the emperor personally promised him a background, and his master Yang Zhi was about to become the governor of customs. The future is not to worry at all. A year ago, he was an outlawed, unsightly killer, and with the hope he has now, he is already very satisfied. Liu Er was not worried about anything else, but worried about the stomach of his sister-in-law Zhu Ling'er.

In Liu Er's eyes. When Yang Zhi is not powerful, he is actually polite and extremely lenient on weekdays. However, there are three young ladies in the Yang Mansion. Shen Yu is the original match, and the status of the eldest lady of the Yang family is unshakable. Although Zhao Yan and Linglong are equal wives. But his status is precious, and he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Only the righteous sister Zhu Linger is a concubine. Born in the rivers and lakes, in addition to his figure and appearance, he only knows rough words. Although his martial arts skills are outstanding, in front of Yang Zhi, who is both civil and military, and scheming, it is really not worth mentioning.

At present, the two young ladies of the Hou Mansion are pregnant, and Mrs. Linglong is far away in Shandong, which is a good time for Zhu Linger to be favored. If you can take advantage of this God-given opportunity to give birth to a son and a half daughter for the Yang family, the lonely sister will have a solid support in her life.

During this period of time, Liu Er talked about this matter with Chang San, who was also Yang Zhi's personal guard, but Chang San was not worried about it: "Second brother, are you too worried?" You don't know how Master Hou treats people. When I stayed in the Hou Mansion, I was longer than you, although the Hou Ye was not lustful, and he never messed with flowers and grass, but he was definitely a young and strong normal man. The little sister has a lovely appearance and a good figure, and after Hou Ye accepted her as a concubine, she spent the night in her room most of the time. It's not as simple as an old hen laying eggs, and she can't be in a hurry. ”

If it is said that the "chance encounter" with King Kang Zhao Kang had no impact on Yang Zhi's life, it is not necessarily true. Two days after the meeting in Weihe, Concubine Kang condescended to visit the two young ladies in the Yang Mansion, and brought three carts full of gifts, food, clothing and flowers.

Yang Zhi was a little ignorant, and actually sighed regretfully in front of Concubine Kang: "Thank you for your care, Princess Lao has bothered." The slight fly in the ointment is that the loading and unloading of many things is too troublesome. If the princess comes to the humble house again next time, she might as well convert the gift into cash or silver tickets, wouldn't it be convenient for everyone to save trouble? ”

Afterwards, King Kang Zhao dared to look at the princess speechlessly, crying and laughing. And Xu Wenhan, who recently visited Yang's mansion, heard that he also laughed and scolded Yang Zhi for being too shameless.

Xu Wenhan's relationship with Wei Feiyang seems to be like Yang Zhi, and there are not too many taboos. On the morning of this day, Yang Zhigang accompanied Wei Feiyang to practice physical fitness subjects in the Wei Mansion, and before it was noon, Xu Wenhan came in the air.

After the three brothers served tea and sat down, Yang Zhi smiled and said: "Big brother, you are a heavy minister, how come you have been like me and Feiyang and other idlers during this time, doing nothing every day?" ”

Xu Wenhan said leisurely: "At the moment, there is no war around Great Xia, and the emperor has rarely summoned him. After I make a daily order, I will divide my ministry and routinely approve it to the relevant officials of each ministry to do it. Why stay in the office all the time? If I had to do everything myself, wouldn't I have to die of exhaustion? ”

Wei Feiyang and Yang Zhi looked at each other and smiled: "What the third brother said is right, the eldest brother must have expected it a long time ago, you, the important minister, are afraid that you will not be able to do it for long." ”

Xu Wenhan said bluntly without any scruples: "Before the new crown prince was canonized, the emperor had Chen Wenyuan and Wang Yunong, two old ministers, to press the battle, Zhou Ting in charge of the troops, and the two princes, King Ning and King Kang, were unemployed and awaited, and no one could make any waves. ”

"That's fine, the emperor knocked hard from the giant family in Guanzhong. The Qin clan can take a breath, and the second brother must not have to be so busy in recent years. The third brother was soon appointed Governor of Customs. It is also a place far away from right and wrong. The fourth brother is still young, and he studies and learns martial arts behind closed doors. Self-cultivation is unattainable. If the foolish brother does not intend to be tired of political affairs, can the emperor have an excuse to depose him? ”

Yang Zhi smiled: "It seems that you have premeditated!" Listening to what you mean, it seems that King Ning's entry into the cabinet is a foregone conclusion, and it is a certainty that King Kang will become the Yin of Chang'an Mansion? No wonder that after Tian Zude's old bastard was driven out of the imperial court, the position of the head of the Hanlin Academy has been vacant, and the dare is reserved for Jiang Bi! ”

Xu Wenhan said calmly: "Third brother, after I met the emperor with you in the Qin Mansion for the first time, I asserted. The emperor is fat and hardworking, and it may be difficult to live a long life. After the prince's rebellion, the emperor was struggling to support it because the throne was undecided. I dare to say that the emperor is also like a mirror in this festival, and he is already starting to pave the way back. It is imperative to study the two princes' acting government affairs. The Chinese military ministers of the dynasty, the old ones remained in office to stabilize the situation in the dynasty. The young were deposed, as a protector, and left for the new king. Both. All of them are far-reaching actions. ”

"Jiang Bi is in his prime, he is a great Confucian in the world, he is knowledgeable but not pedantic and rigid, and he deserves to be a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. In the future, he will not be listed as a Zaifu. The best place for the foolish brother is to go to the National History Museum of the Hanlin Academy to repair books. Concentrate on studying and studying, and do not get involved in court battles. This is also what the foolish brother wants! ”

took a sip of tea, stared at Yang Zhizheng and said, "It's you, the third brother." After going out of Beijing to take up a post, you need to be careful all the time, everywhere, and everything! Brother Fool once remembered that you didn't want to follow the story of Mengde and Zhongda. Of course. This is also one of the important reasons why the emperor appreciates you today. You have always seen things in the long term, and think about it, if it were not for the situation, what emperor could tolerate a courtier like you? ”

If it weren't for the friendship of heart-to-heart exchange, the scheming Xu Wenhan would definitely not say these words. These words can be called a great rebellion, and they are obviously beyond the scope of Wei Feiyang's educational concepts. Perhaps, Xu Wenhan deliberately said these words to Wei Feiyang?

Yang Zhi looked at Xu Wenhan deeply for a long time: This righteous brother has the world in mind and has great ambitions, which is indeed true. But it would be a big mistake to say that he was just a talented reader. This benevolent brother is a restless person at all! Waiting for the price to sell, choosing the opportunity to change, and having a strong sense of self-protection...... the ancient Chen Ping is just like this, right?

If it is said that the four brothers who swore at the beginning were loyal to Great Xia, but they have not pierced that layer of window paper so far, Wei Feiyang may still be struggling and swaying, Xu Wenhan, Qin Kongyun, and Yang Zhi are very difficult to rely on.

The three of them were silent for a moment, and Wei Feiyang suddenly smiled: "If King Kang is appointed as the Yin of Chang'an Mansion, the junior brother dares to say that there are not only wealthy and powerful people in Chang'an City, I'm afraid that even the life of the ruffian will not be too easy!" ”

"That's nature." Xu Wenhan nodded and agreed: "Now even the blind know that the two princes are fighting for the position of prince. Although King Ning entered the cabinet in the center, King Kang sought the emperor's old position when he was in the dragon dive, which was also quite equal. The two princes have their own teams, and they have been commanding the army for many years, and the reputation they have achieved in the rolling of people is by no means a soft-hearted person. and they are all eager to make contributions to please the emperor, it must be so. ”

Yang Zhi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Xiangyang and Suizhou, which are guarded by King Ning, are rich places, and King Kang's Youzhou and Jizhou are isolated from the land trade routes of Northern Yan to Great Xia and Southern Tang. In order to cultivate a prince he liked, the emperor did not hesitate to make a truce with the surrounding countries. Then the next step is to abolish the local government soldiers, send more officials to strengthen and maintain local rule, pay attention to the national economy and people's livelihood, and reduce taxes and taxes to buy people's hearts. ”

"The emperor's top priority is to seek security externally and stability internally. To do all this in three or five years, you need a lot of silver. Extorted the wealthy family in Guanzhong, forced the Qin family to enrich the treasury, and ordered me to set up a customs to collect commercial taxes, which was a drop in the bucket in a short period of time, and it was far from quenching the thirst. ”

Xu Wenhan frowned and asked, "Then ...... you mean?" ”

Yang Zhi said coldly: "If the two princes can't see this, no one will have a chance." The so-called family and country in the world, even the world belongs to your family, and in the future, when you sit on the throne, the whole world will be yours, and you are still like a miser, holding on to a few private wealth, such a narrow-minded fool is also worthy of being the emperor? Studying political performance? Ability? A person who is truly capable must have a big heart! ”

Without hesitation, he got up and said goodbye: "I'm going to Qin Mansion for a trip." Regardless of whether the second brother is not there, I will sell a message to Duke Qin and blackmail him for a few silver. ”

Xu Wenhan then got up and asked, "...... Message? What's the news? ”

Yang Zhi laughed and said: "Wuwei General Geng Jin is leading hundreds of thousands of troops to be stationed on the border between the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue, and Wu Yue has become a food in his mouth. The emperor was in dire need of money, and he didn't want the surrounding countries to see that he had no intention of using troops abroad. For Great Xia in recent years, the fastest way to get money is robbery. The fastest way to rob money is to rob the treasury of a rich and small country! Shock the nations, fill the treasury, kill two birds with one stone! ”

"As long as Wu Yue's treasury is transported to Chang'an, the emperor can play everything in an orderly manner. I said, why doesn't the emperor seem to be in such a hurry! What is this not a big business opportunity? You don't understand it. I believe that Qin Gong must understand! (To be continued......)
