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 he doesn't lack anything, but in fact, he doesn't have any strong capital at all, if he is also a strong man with hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, whoever doesn't 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 and took great pains to change into the robe of the Flying Tiger Marquis, which was rarely worn once. 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. When I looked closely, it turned out to be my 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 had repeatedly made military exploits, was only in his twenties and enjoyed the treatment of taking a back seat in advance, and he was engaged in a glorious and depressing job in the military department: compiling 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".

It is a miracle that people know that you are one of the few generals under the prince's lineage, but the emperor didn't touch half of your hair. 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? ”

"What are you doing here?"

"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? Is it the abolition of the prince or 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 my 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 these years, there is no such thing as the emperor's "personal assistant", 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 there is neither a soldier nor an official under him. You say he's an idle marquis, he has a royal gold medal in his hand, whoever he wants to kill, no one has nowhere to shout grievances, he wants to manage things, and he can meddle in anything at any time. 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 have seen Lord 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 get up" Yang Zhi hurriedly dismounted and helped Yan Fang up, and said with an easy-going smile: "What is the errand today?" 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 don't say anything Yang Zhizhi 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 see the emperor only a handful of times, and the emperor was at a time when he was seeking stability in chaos, and there were many things that needed 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 Tongyu seemed to have evaporated, and there was still no one to be seen, and no chamberlain went out of the palace to spread the word.

Yang Zhi waited and gradually became a little impatient: What is the matter with the emperor? If you are free or not, see it or not, you sent someone to give a sentence, just leave me outside the palace gate and wait, I can't stay stunned, and it's definitely not appropriate to slap my 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 was stupid, just because he was afraid that he would be lifted too high and that he would get carried away and be difficult to control. 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 didn't know when the emperor wanted him to wait, Yang Zhi unloaded the saddle without hurry, put it on the jade steps in front of the palace gate, set up Erlang's legs and sat down, 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, whenever they waited for the summons, they all stood solemnly in their robes and crowns. 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, and they didn't dare to talk to each other.

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?

Having said that, Yang Zhi never expected that it was almost noon after two hours, and there was 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.

Emperor Shiyou felt that he had the chance to win, and Wei Feiyang was definitely not an opponent, so he didn'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 quickly find a way to go back, and Xiushu reminds Wei Feiyang not to sit still, and must prepare in advance, and another letter must be repaired to send Shandong Linglong urgently, and she is ordered to send a few patrol ships to the waters near the Southern Tang Dynasty to cruise, waiting for the opportunity to meet 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 I got on the horse and walked away, I heard someone behind me shouting with a male duck's throat: "Flying Tiger Marquis, please stay in the emperor's mouth."

Yang Zhi looked back, wasn't it the emperor's personal servant Ma Cheng?
