Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Desire of the Yuan Family
, Chapter 27 The Desire of the Yuan Family
Yuanshou seemed to be ten years old, just one morning, his whole spirit collapsed, in the morning, he was still full of energy to go to the court meeting, but he never thought that this was his farewell to officialdom.
In the study, Yuanshou leaned weakly on the soft mattress, staring blankly at a word on the wall, a large banner, on the snow-white paper, two simple and vigorous big characters, 'control anger', this is Yuanshou's motto, but these two words seem so pale at this time.
Yuan Shangwu was worried by his father's side, he was worried about his career, would he be affected by this incident?
Yuan Shangwu was not born to Yuan Shou's original partner, two of the three sons born to the original partner have died of illness, one has a problem with his head, and was imprisoned in the old mansion, and Yuan Shangwu became the eldest son.
He is only thirty years old this year, because of the case of his wife's fornication with King Qi, he was compensated and served as the general of the left prison guard, this is less than half a year, is it already over?
Yuan Shangwu bit his lip, he glanced at Zhang Jin, who was pacing with his hands behind his back in the room, and whispered: "Uncle Shi, I don't think this matter is a bit of a fuss, is it that the Yuan family's business is big, it will be regarded as a rebellion, this is a bit unreasonable!" That Yuwen Shu operated pig iron back then and controlled seventy percent of the capital, why wasn't he investigated and punished? ”
"Virtuous nephew, things are not as simple as you think, you can control the grain in Jiangdu, you can control the grain in Chang'an, you can control the grain in any place, but you can't control the grain in the capital, so the reason for Yang Yuanqing's impeachment is ill-intentioned, this is called the crime of punishing the heart, do you understand? If you control the grain in the capital, it will be regarded as an intention to rebel, this kind of thing can't be said explicitly, but everyone understands in their hearts, of course, the saint will not use this matter to punish the Yuan family, but he will inevitably use other things to make trouble, and it will be a stormy sweep that uproots the Yuan family, so your father must resign himself in order to save the Yuan family. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Jin sighed, "In the final analysis, we misjudged the situation and thought that he would balance the forces, but I didn't expect that he was still suppressing the Guanlong nobles and couldn't tolerate the unity of the Guanlong nobles. ”
Yuan Shangwu said hatefully: "How can the Guanlong nobles be united? It's all stabbing in the back and killing my father, and he Dugu Zhen became Xiangguo, is this the so-called unity? ”
The son mentioned the Dugu family, Yuanshou's dull gaze disappeared, two flames burned in his eyes, he stared at the banner of 'controlling anger', gritted his teeth and said: "I always thought that Yang Yuanqing was the first enemy of my Yuan family, but now I know that I was wrong, the Dugu family is the enemy of my Yuan family, Dugu Zhen, it is really a good scheming and ruthless means." ”
Zhang Jin hurriedly said: "Brother Yuan, you have to calm down, this matter may not be the will of the Dugu family, if you hate Dugu, you will really fulfill the will of the saint, we must focus on the overall situation." ”
"The big picture? I don't know where the big picture is? ”
Yuanshou said coldly: "Brother Putai, my Yuanshou is not a three-year-old child, I know very well the cause and effect, I can't just because someone else gave me a slap on the left cheek, I will meet the right cheek again, my Yuan family is not so cheap, Brother Putai, thank you today, you go!" I would like to say a few words to my son. ”
Zhang Jin had no choice but to leave.
As soon as Zhang Jin left, Yuan Shou immediately stood up and said to Yuan Shangwu: "Go find your second brother, gather in the third brother's room, I have something to say to you." ”
Yuanshou walked briskly towards the room of the third son, Yuanmin.
In the room, Won Min was lying on the bed and couldn't move, he was saved by his father yesterday afternoon, two thigh bones were broken, and he had to lie in bed for at least a year.
Yuan Min was laughing with the two maids in a low voice, when the footsteps sounded, Yuan Shou walked in, and the two maids were so frightened that they quickly stood up, Yuan Shou smiled and nodded, "You two have worked hard, I will have a reward, you go down first!" ”
The two maids bowed and retreated, and Yuan Shou sat in front of his son's bed and asked with a smile: "How is it, is it better?" ”
"Hmmm! It doesn't hurt anymore. ”
Yuan Min said with shame on his face: "The child is useless, he fell for Yang Yuanqing's treacherous tricks, and his father was affected!" ”
The matter of Yuan Shou's resignation spread all over the Yuan Mansion, and Yuan Min also knew, Yuan Shou smiled, "It has nothing to do with your business, in fact, we have already won your business, and we are defeated by the Dugu clan." ”
"Father, what are we going to do after that?"
Yuan Shou nodded, "Wait for your two brothers to come, and we'll talk together." ”
At this time, Yuan Shangwu and Yuan Shangjun walked in together, "Father! ”
"Sit down, y'all!"
Yuan Shou asked his three sons to sit down, he closed the door, and then said to them: "Judging from the current situation, our Yuan family has escaped this catastrophe. ”
Yuan Shou saw that his eldest son was about to interject, and he waved his hand to stop him, "I'm not allowed to interject when I speak!" ”
Yuan Shangwu was so frightened that he lowered his head and silenced, and Yuan Shou said again: "Although I lost my official, it doesn't matter, I resigned on my own initiative, and my reputation and title have been preserved, although I am not an official, but my Yuan Shou is still the leader of the Guanlong nobles." ”
Yuan Shou glanced at his three sons, and said slowly: "You have to remember your identity, you are the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the descendants of Emperor Xiaowen, and you are not the servants of the Yang family." ”
"Father controls the grain in the capital, does he really want to ......" Yuan Shangwu heard what his father meant.
Yuan Shou shook his head, "The matter of the grain shop was framed by the Dugu clan, I will remember this hatred, but after today's events, I have figured it out, if you want not to be treated as a dog, you have to find a way to be a man, his grandfather Yang Zhong back then, isn't it also the same as the dog of our Yuan family?" ”
"But father, the Yang family has already sat down."
"!"
Yuan Shou scolded his son angrily, "Jiangshan is not the Yang family alone, how did he Yang Jian get Jiangshan?" Without the support of my Yuan family and the support of the Guanlong nobles, would he Yang Jian be able to usurp the throne successfully? Yang Jian is okay, he knows that half of this country belongs to the Guanlong nobles, so he doesn't dare to touch our interests, and he doesn't dare to leave Guanzhong even if he moves the capital, but this Yang Guang is a bastard, he forgot his father's promise back then, he wants to destroy our Guanlong nobles, and he will inevitably reap the consequences. ”
Yuan Shou whispered to his three sons: "Now the army is still in the hands of our Guanlong nobles, once he gets carried away and wants to attack the army, it will be the coming of chaos in the world, and our opportunity will come, our Yuan family has strength, we must restore the glory of the Tuoba clan, you three brothers, one of them will be the lord of the world." ”
Yuan Shangwu's eyes lit up, he was the eldest son, and the lord of the world could only be him, and Yuan Min also had a trace of desire in his heart, he also wanted to be the lord of the world.
"Now all we need to do is keep a low profile and wait!"
........
Zhang Jin returned to his mansion and sat in the study, he was also uneasy, he had been paying attention to the affairs of the Yuan family for the past two days, and when the affairs of the Yuan family ebbed, he unexpectedly found that there was also a crisis around him.
This morning, when Emperor Yang Guang talked about the canal, he mentioned the name Zhang Xin of Pengcheng County, Zhang Xin was his brother, but he was not dealt with as harshly as Yang Guang said, he had just received a quick letter, but he was transferred out of Pengcheng County, demoted by one level, and transferred to Liang County Cheng.
Zhang Jin was a little confused now, he didn't know if this was an accident, or if Yang Guang was ready to do something to him, the king's heart was unpredictable, just as he didn't expect that Yang Guang would appoint Dugu Zhen as the head of the cabinet, just like the internal history of the order, an extremely clever move, successfully separated the Dugu clan and the Yuan clan, Yang Guang's methods are really elusive.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jin became a little uneasy, and he hurriedly said loudly: "Go and call the eldest grandson!" ”
Zhang Jin has five sons, except for the youngest son who joined the army as the left guard and stayed by his side, the other four sons are all officials outside, three eagle generals, and one is too guarded, and the eldest son is Zhang Yunyi.
After a while, the eldest grandson Zhang Qi walked in, bowed and saluted, "Is my grandfather looking for me?" ”
Zhang Qi is about twenty-three or four years old, and he is also a Qianniu in the palace, quite shrewd and capable, and his martial arts are also very strong, Zhang Jin smiled: "How long can you take leave?" ”
"Back to my grandfather, up to a month."
Zhang Jin nodded, "Okay, you can take a month off, go to Jiangdu, find your father, I have a letter to him." ”
Zhang Jin instructed his grandson, then got up and put on a robe, he was going to find his brother Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng is also a doctor of imperial history, and he is deeply trusted by Yang Guang, maybe he can know a little bit of the inside story.
......
In the evening, Yang Yuanqing's carriage drove into Xiuwenfang, he was going to Yang Lihua's mansion, Pei Minqiu had set the time to meet the queen, and the day after tomorrow, Yang Yuanqing was a little worried that Empress Xiao would embarrass his wife because of King Qi's affairs, so they specially went to find Yang Lihua.
In the carriage, Pei Minqiu's expression was gloomy, she kept her head down and kept silent, her husband had only been back for a few days, and he was going to leave in three days, which made her feel a little sad in her heart.
Yang Yuanqing hugged his wife and comforted her in a low voice, "This time it's just a business trip, not a war, I'll be back in a month or two at most, I can assure you that I will definitely come back for the New Year." ”
Pei Minqiu sighed secretly, although she was sad in her heart, she couldn't drag her husband back, this was official business after all.
She forced a smile and said: "I always feel a little sad in my heart, but you don't have to take it to heart, go to Jianghuai with peace of mind, and do things well." ”
At this time, Pei Minqiu thought of something again, and instructed him: "Also, if you want to go to see your aunt, it's best to go to Yingzhou first, visit your uncle, worship your mother, and leave a little money for your uncle. ”
Yang Yuanqing nodded silently, Pei Minqiu hesitated, although it was difficult to say, but she still had to say, "There is still dust, you can bring her back!" I think I can take her. ”
