Chapter 239: Behind Closed Doors
Yang Zhisheng said that the emperor is a master who pays attention to benefits, why shouldn't he? After all, the emperor is the emperor, and he personally knocked people on the bamboo pole in addition to every opportunity, and he couldn't wipe his face after all. The emperor was familiar with Yang Zhi's ability to hold money, and he also knew that he was not easy to fool. openly ordering Xu Wenhan to consult him is killing birds with one stone. Yang Zhi came forward to knock on the bamboo poles of the two old chaebols, which can be said to be convenient.
Inserting such a topic in the middle made the heavy mood of the three brothers a lot easier. However, what should be faced still has to be faced, and what should be solved must be solved. Xu Wenhan and Yang Zhi's purpose of "consulting by order" has been achieved, and Qin Kongyun has a little truth in his heart, and there are two big bosses behind them, the emperor and the Duke of Qin, who need to reply, so they naturally have no intention of staying for a long time.
How to be this middleman, Yang Zhi was not half sure in his heart. After the two said goodbye and left, they were still lazily lying on the couch, staring at the ceiling. Unexpected encounters on weekdays without losing the old spicy and decisive are Yang Zhi's strengths. But Xu Wenhan had bluntly reminded him that the emperor might not eat that set.
After thinking about it, Yang Zhi finally figured out a truth that made him a little frustrated: he seems to be extremely strong and lacks nothing, but in fact, he doesn't have any strong capital at all! If he is also a strongman with hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, whoever does not give face will wipe out whoever he wants, what about the emperor? What about Wei Feiyang? Do you still dare not listen to the greetings? The "combined fleet" in Shandong is far from being as good as the surname Yang, and it is still hovering in the stage of petty fights and petty fights to make a fortune. If you want to ensure that the whole family is auspicious and worry-free in this troubled era, there is a long way to go!
If you don't have a strong strength to back you up, it's hard to come up with any effective words. Yang Zhi thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind: the emperor is a shrewd and powerful supervillain, and too many flowery intestines may be self-defeating, so he will tell the truth straight to him. This Great Xia belongs to your old Zhao family, and it was nothing for me to do, but in the final analysis, it was for your good.
I always felt chaotic in my head, and I was absent-minded even when I was eating dinner, but I couldn't come up with any other tricks.
The next day, Yang Zhi got up early in the morning. Needlessly, he changed into a rare Flying Tiger Hou robe. hastily ate breakfast, and according to the appointment with Xu Wenhan yesterday, he prepared to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
As soon as he led the horse out, he met a person in front of the Hou Mansion. Take a closer look. It turned out to be a long-lost brother-in-law.
Shen Chong was born in the outer guard of the inner court under the abolished prince Zhao Heng, and he rose to prominence because of the bloody battle in the desert with the raid legion, and served as the vanguard of the first battle in the battle of the Tang Dynasty, which was originally quite valued by the emperor. If it weren't for the sincerity of his heart and his heart to follow the prince, he would become a famous general of the Great Xia generation in time. However. This second-class earl and squire of the military department, who has made many military exploits, was only in his twenties and enjoyed the treatment of retreating to the second line ahead of time, and engaged in a glorious and depressing job in the military department: compiling and revising the history of the Great Xia War. Even so, Yang Zhi already felt very lucky for him from the bottom of his heart.
Yang Zhi has never given this loyal and upright brother-in-law any good face since he returned from the desert. After returning to Beijing, I didn't even bother to see him. Yang Zhi reminded Shen Zheng several times and warned him not to participate in the political struggle for power and profit, which is really well-intentioned. And Shen Chong knew that Yang Zhi didn't like it, and still came to the door early this morning, obviously because the emperor ordered Xu Wenhan to "consult".
If you are a person, you will know that you are one of the few generals under the prince's lineage. The emperor didn't touch half of your hair, which is a miracle. At this time, I don't know how to clamp my tail, do you think your life is too comfortable?
“…… Brother-in-law, are you going out? ”
"Nonsense! What are you here for? ”
"This ...... This Yu'er's body is sinking day by day, let me come and see her. Shen Zhong avoided Yang Zhisen's cold gaze, mustered up the courage to bow his head and said, "Brother-in-law, you know, there are still many people who care about the prince. Now you are the only one who can speak in front of the emperor, so they asked me to ...... by the way. ”
"What prince? It's the Waste Prince! By the way? I'm afraid it's just by the way to look at Yu'er, right? I'm just an idle marquis with no official or position, and you think too highly of me. Zhao Heng can't die. Take care of yourself! Don't get in my way. Get out of the way! ”
Yang Zhi didn't even look at Shen Zheng anymore, and went straight to the palace. Before approaching the palace gate, I saw more than 100 heavily armed court guards and more than 10 eunuch attendants from a distance, coming out of the palace in a neat line.
In those years, there was no such thing as an emperor's "personal assistant". is because in the eyes of outsiders, Yang Zhi's current identity is very peculiar: you say that he is powerful, he has no official or rank, and he has neither a soldier nor an official under him. You say he's an idle marquis, and he has a royal gold medal in his hand. Whoever you want to kill, no one has anywhere to shout grievances, you can meddle in anything if you want to take care of things. From the top officials and ministers to the unknown inner court guards, no one is afraid of him.
Before Yang Zhi had time to take a closer look, he saw the leader trotting over all the way, and bowed down in front of his horse humbly: "Humble and strict, I've seen Master Hou!" ”
Although they only worked together in the middle of the night on the night of the emperor's return to the palace, Yan Fang's talent and steadiness left a good impression on Yang Zhi. Naturally, he secretly compared Yan Fang with Shen Zheng, who had a higher starting point than him, and felt more and more in his heart that this young man was not simple.
"How can Yang be worthy of such a great gift from General Yan? Hurry up, please! Yang Zhi hurriedly dismounted and helped Yan Fang up, and said with an easy-going smile: "What is today's errand?" Do you want to work for you, the general of the Inner Court Guard, to go out in person? ”
Yan Fang said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "It is the duty to serve the emperor loyally, and it is really humiliating for the Hou Ye to say this." Back to the Hou Ye, leaving the palace today is on official business. ”
Lao Tzu still doesn't know that you are on a business trip? You're not saying anything! Yang Zhi knew that he was cautious and old, and he didn't embarrass him, so he hugged his fists and saluted: "Then I won't delay the general." General, please! ”
Yan Fang was originally a lieutenant of the cavalry battalion directly under the command of Zhou Ting, the general of the forbidden army, and he could only be regarded as a middle-level officer on tiptoe. Although Yan Fang didn't just rely on luck, Yang Zhi had to admit that the young man's luck was really not ordinarily good.
Yan Fang's low-key prudence in the helicopter also reminded Yang Zhi that he was arrogant and domineering for no reason, and he was definitely full of food and caused unnecessary trouble for himself. He no longer got on the horse, led the horse and slowly walked to the palace gate, honestly followed the rules, and asked the guards on duty to ask to see him.
Yang Zhi took the initiative to meet the emperor only a handful of times. The emperor is at a time when he is seeking stability in chaos, and there are many things that need to be relied on by Yang Zhi. Originally, even if the emperor really had a good chance, he would definitely squeeze out time to summon him. Unexpectedly, after waiting for half an hour, the guards who went to pass the ceremony seemed to evaporate. There is still no one to be seen, and there is no chamberlain to go out of the palace to spread the word.
Yang Zhi waited and gradually became a little impatient: What is the matter with the emperor? Whether you are free or not, see or not, you send someone to give a word! Just left me outside the palace gate to wait, and I couldn't stay still. It's never appropriate to slap your ass and leave. If you really don't have time at this time, you can ask someone to take me to the side hall to wait, so that my people can at least have a place to sit and drink hot tea, right?
Yang Zhi has never been a willful person.
Thinking about it quietly, in the eyes of others, he has always been a big celebrity in front of the emperor "Holy Family Zhenglong", and yesterday the emperor had the words of "being ordered to consult" by the emperor, and it became more and more red and purple. Xu Wenhan often said that the emperor's mental tricks have always been very abnormal people, and as far as Yang Zhi's understanding goes, it is equivalent to saying that eleven out of ten emperors are a bit psychopathic. The emperor hung him outside the palace gate as if he were waiting stupidly. It's just that he is afraid that he will be lifted too high to get carried away and difficult to control, at best, he is still playing the little trick labeled as "emperor's mental art" to show that "the power of heaven is unpredictable". I think that in order to vent his anger to his sister-in-law, Wei Feiyang did not hesitate to break into the Anguihou Mansion and beat and smash it, am I a bird for him to eat this deflated?
It's early spring in early February, and it's still a cold season. The front of the palace gate is very empty, and there is not even a sheltered place, so ordinary people really can't stand it.
Luckily, the sun was shining and the weather was good. If it comes, it will be safe. I don't know when the emperor will let him wait. Yang Zhi unloaded the saddle without hurry, put it on the jade steps in front of the palace gate, sat on Erlang's legs, closed his eyes and basked in the sun.
No matter how the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were favored by the emperor, they waited for the summons. All of them are neatly dressed and solemn. Where can you dare to be so scoundrel and presumptuous like this uncle? Today's inner court guards are a mix of old and new, and two-thirds of them were originally sergeants of the forbidden army under Yan Fang. Both new and old, they are familiar with Yang Zhi's many glorious deeds. This uncle brazenly shot and killed Zhao Tianyang, the former general of the Inner Court Guard, and nailed him to death on the gate tower of the palace gate. Although the blood was dry, the hole of the arrow was still there. The arrow hole goes deep into the palace wall, and it is still shocking. The guards on duty inside and outside the palace gate wanted to laugh but didn't dare. I didn't dare to talk to each other, so I could only show my eyes one by one, and my expression was quite strange.
Yang Zhi knew very well what he was doing and why he came. The emperor still has such idleness to make a fuss, could it be that he is already strategizing? I'm just a kind person to mediate the fight, he is not in a hurry, why am I in a hurry?
That being said, Yang Zhi never expected that two hours had passed! It's almost noon, and there is still no movement in the palace. According to his stature and patience, even if he sat here all day, he would not get in the way, but he had no choice but to complain in his stomach that he had rebelled, and he couldn't help but secretly scold the emperor for having too much fun.
Yang Zhi never went out with a servant entourage on weekdays, and he really regretted it at this time: he knew that this was the case, and he should have brought Ah Fu out. At this moment, let Ah Fu go back to his house to call a carriage or a warm sedan chair, and then get a food box and bring some pastries, wine and food, this is not embarrassing and embarrassing, and the closed door will not be so difficult.
The emperor has a ** feeling that he has the chance to win, and Wei Feiyang is definitely not an opponent, so he doesn't want to let himself interfere in it. Since this is the case, it is no longer possible to act according to the plan originally agreed with Xu Wenhan. You must hurry up and find a way to go back, and Xiushu reminds Wei Feiyang not to sit still, and to prepare early! In addition, she had to repair a letter to send it to Shandong Linglong, ordering her to send a few large ships to cruise in the waters near the Southern Tang Dynasty, waiting for the opportunity to answer Wei Feiyang!
He got up, rubbed his hands, stomped his feet, and exaggerated a few loud "man-made" sneezes. I thought to myself, I waited here for a long time, and I had already given the emperor enough face, no matter how I said it, I had fulfilled my intentions. Emperor, you don't want to fucking see you, Lao Tzu won't play with you anymore!
Immediately he no longer hesitated, and lifted the saddle and put it on the horse's back. As soon as he was about to get on his horse and leave, he heard someone behind him shouting at the throat of a male duck: "Flying Tiger Marquis, please stay!" The emperor has a message! ”
Yang Zhi looked back, wasn't it the emperor's personal servant Ma Cheng? (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
