The screams of the end of the Hanlin Academy, Shitian Zudesan, made the emperor very angry. All the way back to the imperial study with a gloomy face, he took a cup of ginseng soup and drank it all, and smashed his beloved Panlong Jade Cup with hatred!

Yang Zhi wanted to slip away as soon as possible, but he couldn't escape, so he still followed. I only heard the emperor scold viciously: "Tian Zude's old horseman is really hateful!" Popularity? Hmph, human heart! You know what? How many bird gases I have swallowed and how many grievances I have endured for these two words over the past few decades! Those sour Confucians are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains, and they only know that it is useless to talk about it! I take them like bodhisattvas and raise them like uncles, not only do I not know how to be grateful, but I am against them everywhere! I don't understand, what good did they get from that rebel? On weekdays, they are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but when the rebels tried to usurp the throne, were they all blind? I haven't done anything to him, but I've lost the hearts of the people and violated the hearts of the people! ”

Since ancient times, the powerful emperors, in order to win the hearts of the people, have all regarded Confucianism as a cover to support the façade. The emperor's full of complaints can be said to be a mystery in one sentence.

The emperor encountered a common problem that countless emperors had encountered, and Yang Zhiwan persuaded: "The so-called ignorant is not guilty, the prince has not yet been explicitly detained, and the trial has not yet been determined, and it is inevitable that people will feel abrupt if they fail to go to court today." It is not entirely unreasonable to participate in the Weichen Dynasty's violation of rules and ceremonies. Now that everything is under the control of the emperor, it is important for you to take care of the dragon body, so why do you have to be like them? Let's take today's little unpleasantness as a few mad dog barks! ”

The emperor sneered sharply: "Zhi'er, you are still a little tender after all. If it's really a mad dog's barking, then the old man is playing with me! I not only want to build momentum for the rebel son in the future, but also want to make a name for myself. Regardless of whether I accept it or not, he will sit in the name of loyalty! Just one of my fingers would make him famous, and wouldn't he just be able to grasp it? Seeking fame with ulterior motives is more hateful than greedy for profit! Hehe, I'm going to fulfill him this time. It's good to let those sour people have a longer memory, so that they don't have to follow behind to join in the fun! ”

He immediately instructed Ma Cheng to summon the pen and the servant to draft the decree: "Tian Zude, the head of the Hanlin Academy, is vainly disgraced, unconventional, and openly resists the decree. Roaring the court, the sin is unforgivable. Tian Zude dismissed himself for the people and never used it. His family was exiled to Shuofang, and handed over to the captured general Zeng Yingming to strictly control him! ”

Even Yang Zhi didn't expect that the emperor would be so "heavy" to Old Master Tian in a fit of rage. Tian Zude is almost old. It's better to dismiss his post for the people, and exile his family to Shuofang Biansai, the emperor is tantamount to making it clear that he wants his old life! …… Is that necessary? As for it?

"Don't worry, I know that old man is not a mad dog, and of course I am not." Seeing Yang Zhi's disapproving face, the emperor waved his hand and said, "I have a reason for doing this, and you will understand it in the future." I'm really tired, and you've been busy all night, so go home and rest! ”

Yang Zhi had no dealings with Qingliu officials in the DPRK and China, and did not have much affection for these self-proclaimed literati. As the saying goes, it's not in its place. I didn't seek his own politics, I didn't bother to think about it and didn't persuade anymore, so I retired.

Walking from the imperial study to the direction of the palace gate, the soldiers of the forbidden army who took over the palace ban treated him as if he were a god, and saluted and worshiped from a long distance. Yang Zhi felt lonely for no reason, and he only bowed his head slightly all the way. I wanted to go to the palace of Concubine Mei to see what the situation of Zhao Qi, the king of Yue, was now, but after all, I couldn't help it.

The post-crown prince era of the Great Xia Dynasty had finally arrived, and Yang Zhi should consider how to make the most of the terms of the deal with the emperor to usher in the era of the Yang clan. Seriously calculated, from December 13 last year, from Penglai, Shandong Province, to rush back to Beijing. It's been more than a month since it was full. In this month, how can there ever be a moment of true tranquility? Now he doesn't want to think about anything, he just wants to go back to Meimei to sleep and accompany his old man and his two wives to have a good meal.

Out of the palace, the horse traveled to see the Flying Tiger Marquis's mansion. It was nearly noon. was still more than ten zhang away from the Ci Mansion, and Ah Fu, the chief servant of the Yang Mansion, almost crawled over and greeted: "Young master, young master!" You're back! ”

Yang Zhi chirped: "What are you talking about? Where can I go if I don't come back? …… What are you crying about? What happened in the house? ”

Ah Fu's eyes were dark and his face was blue, and he couldn't tell whether it was snot or tears on his face, and he sneezed two loud sneezes in succession before he took the reins and replied with a bitter face: "Young Master." It's not that the villain dares to say you, since the first moment of last night, when Qin Gongzi came to visit, you and the old man and the two ladies didn't even say hello and he went out, and there was no news of him this time, and there was no one all night. Last night, a large group of sergeants suddenly came, and without saying a word, they surrounded the Hou Mansion in an airtight air, and all of them were withdrawn just after midnight this morning, and even the Ouchi guards who were on duty in the mansion also walked clean. Why don't you worry about your husband and two ladies? Before dawn, the lord drove me out to wait for you at the corner of the street, and the in-laws came again early in the morning. I've been standing on the street for three or four hours, cold and hungry, and I've finally got you back! ”

The old men Yang Yan, Shen Yu, and Zhao Yan were afraid that they hadn't closed their eyes all night, let alone the old man Shen Zitong. Yang Zhixin was apologetic, and scolded with a smile: "It's not that you haven't seen your young master's ability, what can I do?" I won't let you starve and freeze in vain, and I will reward you with a few hundred taels of silver when I go back, and I will cure any disease, okay? ”

Urging Ma hurriedly took a few steps into the door to see, Liu Er and Chang San stood at the door with solemn expressions, the old man, the old man, and the two wives were all sitting in the main hall with red and swollen eyes and anxious faces, and when they saw Yang Zhi, they all stood up. Without waiting for them to open their mouths to ask, Yang Zhiyi waved his hand and said, "The emperor won, and the crown prince lost." That's all it took last night, and I can't tell for a while. ”

Untied the strong bow and the single knife and threw it to Ah Fu casually, stretched his hands and feet, and walked to the inner courtyard wing: "I want to go back to the room and sleep, don't come to call me if you have nothing to do." ”

"The prince lost? The prince actually lost? …… It's over, it's over! Shen Zitong sat down as if struck by lightning, and when he saw that Yang Zhi ignored him, he bounced up again and asked, "Virtuous son-in-law, ...... now?" ”

Yang Zhi didn't look back and said, "Father-in-law, to be honest, I have a headache when I see you." No one can take care of the prince's affairs, and no matter how much you tell me, it won't help. The uncle made the first contribution to the battle to destroy the Tang Dynasty, and led the troops to stay outside Tongguan on the way to escort the division, and it was not too deep to fall in. I will do my best to keep him safe without your command. I advise you that it is best to stay at home honestly with closed doors during this time, and if you have to send a servant from Chang'an Mansion to guard the door for you, it will not be very good-looking. ”

If Tian Zude is the second unlucky guy who is mounted on the emperor's muzzle, then Shen Zitong is a stupid bird who doesn't even have a chance to hit the muzzle. was forced to resign in order to protect the prince, and this time he almost put his son into it, but in the end, he still ended up with a bamboo basket and a lot of water! Everything should be done according to one's ability, except to blame yourself for being too stupid, who else can you blame?

Yang Zhi slept until the end of the afternoon, and he didn't even eat lunch, and his family didn't dare to call him. got up, took a shower, changed clothes, and ate something indiscriminately, and then talked to the old man, Shen Yu, and Zhao Yan. Although he only gave a brief outline, the thrilling content still made the three of them stunned.

Shen Yu asked timidly, "Xianggong, brother...... Can you really make sure he's okay? ”

For the time being, it seems that the emperor has no intention of carrying out a large-scale purge. But no matter how tolerant he is, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to tolerate the heavy command of the army. Yang Zhi sighed: "The worst thing is also a merit!" If you're lucky, you might get some rewards, but you can't stay in the army. ”

Zhao Yan was stunned for a long time, and said excitedly: "Husband, I want to enter the palace to see my father!" ”

"I'm afraid it won't work these days." Yang Zhi shook his head and said, "At least wait until the emperor clears his mind and thinks about how to reorganize the situation." ”

Yang Yan was stunned all the time, and reminded him of the old words: "Zhi'er, the emperor has won, isn't there anything wrong with you?" Seeing that it is the warm season of spring, will you go to the emperor to take a leave of absence in a few days and accompany me back to my hometown to worship my ancestors? Alas! Chang'an, I don't want to stay for a day. ”

Yang Zhi knew that the old man had seen a lot in Chang'an, and he was tired of it. He smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, after you said this last time, I have been taking it to heart. Don't make a mess of it now, right? ”

The family gossiped without a match, and before they knew it, it was dusk and sunset. While speaking, Ah Fu came to say goodbye: "Young Master, Mr. Xu, Lord Wang, and Old Man Chen, the old lady, are here!" ”

Xu Wenhan will definitely come to visit, but Yang Zhi is expected, why did Wang Yunong and Chen Wenyuan also come? Yang Zhi hurriedly got up and greeted him outside the Hou Mansion.

Chen Wenyuan laughed and said: "Feihu Hou, the old man and Wang Xiang originally wanted to come to the mansion to disturb after the dispersal of the dynasty, Xu Xiangxin was careful, saying that you were tired and tired last night, and let you go back to the mansion to rest for half a day and come back." I don't want to have a happy event for you and the old man, the three of us came to your house to eat and drink! ”

Zhao Yan's stomach was already bulging, and the three of them were all important ministers in the court, and now her identity was unclear, and it was inevitable to be embarrassed to meet. Seeing Yang Zhi welcoming the three of them into the house from a distance, he just wanted to get up and go back to the room to avoid it for the time being, but was stopped by Xu Wenhan: "And please stay princess!" ”

Zhao Yan stopped in surprise and asked, "Xu Xiang...... Is this uncle calling me? ”

Xu Wenhan approached and smiled: "Exactly." ”

The three of them entered the front hall, and without waiting for the tea to sit down, Xu Wenhan said solemnly: "Please take the princess!" -- Princess Changxiu's imprudent womanhood caused me to be humiliated. From now on, she will take away the title of princess, be demoted to a concubine, and be expelled from the palace! Chin this! ”

Before Zhao Yan had time to kneel down to receive the order, she couldn't react for a while, and said blankly: "Degraded to a concubine and expelled from the palace?" Father, ...... this? ”

Wang Yunong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is a beloved daughter!" Could it be that the emperor can still recruit the Flying Tiger Marquis as a concubine?
