Chapter 404: Who's Afraid of Whom

But whatever I fancies, it's mine. This is a seemingly absurd bandit logic that has been in vogue for thousands of years.

The emperor beats your idea, it is called thunder and rain and dew, and it is Jun's grace. If you are unwilling, or on the contrary, want to fight the emperor's idea, it is called ill-intentioned and vainly trying to rebel. How? Not convinced? The vast majority of people can only carry stones on their backs to fight the sky.

Yang Zhi and Duke Qin had reached a consensus many years ago that if they wanted to reason with the emperor, they needed to have enough capital. The Qin clan served as an ATM for the two generations of emperors of Great Xia, father and son, for decades, and in the end, even family reunion became a luxury. This is enough to show that if you have the slightest illusion about the emperor, it is not only ridiculous, it is simply stupid.

Yang Zhi originally didn't plan to turn his face with Zhao Qi, at least on the surface, he did it well, but now he just wanted to reason with him. Don't you like to test other people's bottom lines? I'll try it for you this time? It's a good feeling to have everything under control, but once you get it too cool, it's probably not necessarily so pleasant.

Early in the morning of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Jin Zishan came to summon Yang Zhi to the palace for an audience. After announcing the emperor's dictation, he said with a smile: "The Sprinkle family is here to say hello to Yang Hou!" After today, it is time for the Manchu civil and military to change their name to Yang Gong. ”

Yang Zhi knew that Jin Zishan was kind or tactfully reminded, and there was no malice, but his mood was really not good, and he sneered: "Yang Gong? I'm still Mother Yang! ”

Jin Zishan looked at Yang Zhijing's high-spirited back and shook his head with a wry smile.

Dealing with the emperor can be called a technical job. In addition to playing scheming, you also have to fight for acting. As soon as he entered the imperial study, the emperor was certainly enthusiastic, and Yang Zhi was also full of spring breeze.

Jin Zishan watched coldly, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: None of these two masters is a fuel-efficient lamp. No one is easy to mess with. I hope you don't go too far!

There was no suspense in the greetings of the meeting, and the theme was still the great achievement of destroying Chu, the emperor's slightly exaggerated commendation, and Yang Zhichat's self-humility.

After giving the seat and serving tea, Zhao Qi asked kindly: "Yang Qing, are the old fathers, wives and children at home okay?" It's been years since you brought your family back home. I miss them. ”

Yang Zhi chuckled: "It should be okay?" In fact, Weichen misses them more than the emperor. ”

"Should" is okay? Zhao Qi patted his head and said suddenly: "Yes, yes!" Yang Qing led the army outside, and he also did not return home for several years. I have indeed forgotten about this stubble! ”

Yang Zhi took the opportunity to present the four pieces together: "Weichen was ordered to lead the army to attack Chu, and he made meritorious contributions by luck and fulfilled his mission." Now I am sincere to return home, and I implore the emperor to fulfill it! ”

Zhao Qi took the concerto, flipped it over casually and put it aside, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. smiled: "Yang Qing is still the same character as before, but he is bent on saving trouble!" It is normal for people to miss their small family, and I also feel the same way. But this time is different, I'm afraid I'll have to keep Yang Qing in Chang'an for a little longer. ”

Yang Zhi sneered in his heart, but his face was impassive: "The emperor has every opportunity, and Weichen's move is not just to save trouble, but for the sake of the emperor." Even if the emperor doesn't give grace to stay. Weichen also planned to live in Chang'an for ten days and half a month before leaving. ”

"Ten days and half a month?!" Zhao Qi's face sank, and he smiled forcefully: "Yang Qing built this miracle feat." If I hadn't rewarded me generously, wouldn't I have been criticized by the world for being a mean and ungrateful king? Or even slander or secretly hide the bow? Yesterday, I personally led the civil and military suburbs of the Manchu Dynasty to welcome Yang Qing back to the court, and tomorrow I will reward Yang Qing for the queen, all of which are important ceremonies of the country, could it be that Yang Qing looks down on him like this? ”

Picked up Yang's resignation and said, "Yang Qing, your first resignation, please resign from the post of General Chu." The handover of military power is temporarily replaced by Ye Chuang, which is reasonable. But the other three resignations are presented without saying anything, but they are all official words, and you don't even know how I will reward them, and you don't even mention them. Isn't that outrageous? I remember that day you said that it is my business to give or not, and it is your business to receive it or not. But where do you put me in such a word? Are you also a little too anxious? ”

Yang Zhi replied without hesitation: "Weichen took into account the emperor's face, so he decided to stay in Chang'an for ten days and half a month. If not, Weichen only needs to send someone to send the resignation, why bother to come to Chang'an thousands of miles away? Weichen thought that when it came to being anxious, it should be that the emperor was more anxious. ”

Yang Zhi's words are only half-truths. became a god because of the destruction of Chu, but he could retire because of his success, resign from all officials and become holy. Whether you become a god or become a saint, if you don't get official recognition, it usually ends in tragedy. Yue Fei is awesome enough, right? But is he wronged? The so-called Wu Mu and Zhongwu are all posthumous, and the king of E is also posthumous. What kind of chasing and chasing is fake, and strive to live well in the present, that is true. Wasn't Yang Zhi also posthumously awarded the title of Loyal Martial Duke by the first emperor? That didn't delay the dead ghost child of An Guihou's family at all, and stopped the sedan chair on the street to tease Shen Yu!

What's wrong with the absence of the official? In the future, even if he sees a dog and a chicken of the Yang family, who must not weigh it carefully?

But to Zhao Qi's ears, it was full of unpleasant feelings. Dare you step down and come to Chang'an, or give me a big face, right? …… Do you still think I am the emperor?

Zhao Qi has been in charge of the politics of Daxia for more than five years from being canonized as the crown prince to ascending the throne.

In order to calm the anger rising in his heart, he took a sip of tea and asked two nonsense words: "Oh? Yang Qing really thought that I was in a hurry? ”

This summons, Zhao Qi did not make Jin Zishan retreat and avoid it. When the two of them came to this point, Jin Zishan couldn't help but secretly complain, knowing that the conversation might fall apart, and turned his face to each other. Coughing lightly, he bowed to Yang and asked, "Yang Hou, the tea is cold, do you need to change it?" ”

"Brother Jin has a heart. No. Yang Zhi called him "Brother Jin" in front of the emperor, showing his respect for Jin Zishan. The sentence "has a heart" can be regarded as a good understanding of his good intentions, but today's fact is not something that can be mixed with by an eunuch.

A pun on the words: "People haven't left yet, how can the tea be cold?" I have been drinking cold tea and cold water for more than ten years, and I am used to it. I'm not old yet, and I'm sure I'll be able to take a hot sip one day. I have an elder who treats him as an uncle, and when he sees that he is about to enter the earth, he wants to drink a sip of hot tea in his lifetime, but I am afraid it will be difficult! ”

No matter how good Zhao Qi's cultivation is, he can't bear the sound of Yang Zhi's words with a gun and a stick. Dengshi's face turned cold: "Yang Qing, what do you mean by this?" Make it clear to me! ”

What do I mean, don't you know? Xu Wenhan's wife, Tian, to a certain extent, died from the "Yang Party" in the eyes of the emperor. Yang Zhi deliberately provoked the conversation, but before the emperor first turned his face, he would never be easily fooled and let Zhao Qi sit in the name of forming a party.

said with an innocent face: "Weichen just felt it, if this causes the emperor to dislike it, it is also an unintentional mistake, and I hope the emperor will forgive the sin." ”

He stood up and said: "The emperor's authority is getting heavier, and the ministers are terrified. The emperor's state affairs are huge, and it is inconvenient for the ministers to sit and disturb each other for a long time, so he retired and waited for his will. ”

Zhao Qi said in a stiff tone: "Yang Qing wants to leave now?" What if I have to keep you? ”

Yang Zhixiao asked, "Dare to ask the emperor what else he commands?" Wechen listened attentively. ”

Zhao Qi couldn't help but be speechless for a while, sent the tea that had already been cooled to his mouth and blew it, and said expressionlessly: "Yang Qing only plans to stay in Chang'an for ten days and half a month, and I am really reluctant." Yang Qing can live in Chang'an for a year and a half for the time being! ”

Yang Zhi said without blinking: "Okay! Weichen just wants to appreciate what kind of scenery the emperor's reward and sealing are! Anyway, there is nothing else to worry about in Chang'an, I want to see everywhere, I want to go for a walk everywhere. Before resigning from the official position, he had nothing to do, walked around with many ministers in the court, went to the army to learn martial arts with many soldiers, talked about poetry and literature with literati, and went to the streets and shops to stroll, which was really unwanted. When you are tired of living, it is not too late to return to Xinyang! ”

Yang Zhi's answer made Zhao Qiwei angry, and he was speechless for an instant. In the words of a previous life, do you think you are experiencing life at the grassroots level? Don't you think your name is loud enough? Do you think Chang'an is your backyard, come and go whenever you want? Who are you trying to disgust when you stay in Chang'an like this? The devil is willing to keep you!

Zhao Qi is familiar with the extremely challenging job of the emperor, and his heart is naturally good. Sometimes it is inevitable to take it for granted that everyone should obey my will unconditionally, and that is a matter of course.

Zhao Qi didn't realize that Yang Zhi had completely abandoned his illusions and regarded him as an opponent, and he didn't seem to care much about the deterioration of the relationship between the two and escalating to an enemy.

Yang Zhihao's contempt was extremely hateful in Zhao Qi's mind for a while. Snorted coldly: "Since Yang Qing mentioned the Qin Clan, he should know what I mean by what I said!" ”

If you have something to say, you may be able to discuss it calmly. Blindly pretending to be forced with the emperor's shelf? If you're not tired, if you have the ability, continue to pretend.

Yang Zhi continued to challenge Zhao Qi's patience: "The emperor heard it wrong, right? I don't know which ear the emperor heard Wei Chen mention the Qin family? Please forgive Weichen for being stupid, Weichen is not a roundworm in the emperor's stomach, and he does not dare to speculate on the emperor's intentions. ”

Yang Zhishui's response as if it was soaked in cowhide made it difficult for Zhao Qi to pretend to be calm anymore: "You?!" …… Have you come here today to talk to me? ”

Yang Zhi said disapprenosingly: "Why did the emperor say this? Weichen is just an audience by order, why did he make the emperor unhappy? The scoundrels on the street want to bully people for no reason, and they all know that no matter how good or bad, they have to find an excuse. Look at the emperor's posture, wouldn't he even want to save a barely justifiable excuse? ”

Yang Zhi's implication was that he almost pointed at Zhao Qi's nose and scolded him for not even being as good as a scoundrel on the street. I'm not afraid that you will be angry, but I am afraid that I will not be angry with you.

What is the that swears is categorically not "mean and unkind", "the bird hides the bow", who is bluffing? Small! Aren't you? Dig the pit yourself, you can drive it or jump into it yourself! The so-called high merit covers the master and is proud of his achievements, which has nothing to do with my half a dime. There could have been, but there really wasn't.

If you want to have a seizure, you will have it first, and if you want to turn your face, you will also turn your face first. Lao Tzu won't even give you the opportunity to buckle the big hat, just let the horse come! Who's afraid of whom? (To be continued.) )
