Chapter 171: Sublineal Weasel

The queen's jealousy of the royal gold medal is undoubtedly very representative of the entire prince group. The treacherous situation of the emperor's uncertain life and death made it entirely possible for the prince group to insist that the gold medal was forged by Yang Zhi in the future, so as to refuse to admit it. Even Zhou Ting, who was loyal to the emperor, was skeptical when he saw the gold medal at first glance. All this gave Yang Zhi a sense of urgency.

In every battle, Yang Zhi has the habit of giving full play to the role of the capital in his hands. A treasure like a royal gold medal representing the supreme imperial power must not be wasted at all. He must preempt the two sides to openly turn their faces, as soon as possible to show the unquestionable absolute authority of the imperial gold medal, and establish himself as the emperor's agent above Zhao Qi, the king of Yue, and the four ministers of the prison state. The royal gold medal is not only a legitimate symbol of imperial power, but also a sharp weapon to guide people's hearts with the help of the power of public opinion, as well as to deter the prince group and other forces. It is said that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, but can he still have other options today?

Yang Zhi believes that today's unclever show in front of the old man, the news that he holds the emperor's imperial gold medal will spread throughout Chang'an tomorrow. Not only does he need more information disseminators, but he also needs two heavyweight witnesses to confirm the legitimacy and authenticity of the gold medal's source, forcing the prince group and the rest of the forces to acquiesce in this fact that is not false.

Qin Gong could think of the importance of the gold medal and dared to carefully imitate the fake for Yang Zhi to use when he returned to Beijing, so he naturally didn't need to worry about the spread of folk news. Although Xu Wenhan entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister before he was established, he was only an up-and-coming upstart, and he had no foundation in the court. In addition, everyone knows that he is Yang Zhi's brother-in-law, and if he uses his mouth to publicize it, it seems that there is a suspicion of conspiracy in the eyes of the world. And the witnesses who really have a strong influence inside and outside the court are none other than the two highly respected parties, the former Privy Council Lieutenant Chen Wenyuan and the first auxiliary prime minister Wang Yunong.

The end of the year is approaching, and it is a great opportunity. Although Chen Wenyuan lived in Beijing for a long time due to old age, it was not long. Wei Su, who took over as the lieutenant, certainly has the reputation of being the first general in Great Xia, but in terms of seniority and prestige in the army, he is far inferior to Chen Wenyuan. These two pillar veteran ministers are one scholar and one martial artist, and they are loyal to the country without distractions. He is like the leader of the military generals and civil ministers in the DPRK and China. The two of them have gone through decades of ups and downs in the sea and become the best officials, and there are countless protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials under their respective doors. Every New Year's Day, how many people come to pay respects, I'm afraid even the two old men themselves are not sure. If they have the heart to advertise for Yang Zhi. The method is actually very simple: can't you just repeat it a few more times in the "unintentional" way of people during this time?

Yang Zhi secretly thought to himself about how to visit the two old ministers at night later. Thinking about it, since it is intended to be a show, it is extremely arrogant to do it. Isn't the place where the gold medal goes "like me coming in person"? simply blatantly declared that it was "ordered" to express condolences to show "the emperor's grace". I came to visit, and I looked up to you two old things. Even the entrance salute is saved. In the future, he will start a saliva lawsuit in front of the emperor, and he is not afraid that his emperor will not admit it!

quietly accompanied his family to dinner, and just said that he went out casually and went out alone. The careful Zhao Yan saw that Yang Zhi was a little absent-minded at the dining table, but when he asked before, he answered vaguely, so as not to dislike him, so he was very interested and didn't ask more, but there was a faint worry between his eyebrows.

It is definitely not too much to say that Chen Wenyuan and Wang Yunong are two old foxes who have cultivated well. As a courtier, it doesn't make much sense for a courtier to do their part, whether it is famous or profitable. There is no lack of the glory of Yang Zhi's "order" condolences. It can be said that Yang Zhi pouted his buttocks, and the two knew what kind of shit he was going to pull out: Wang Yunong was worried in the game, and Yang Zhi's almost ostentatious visit to show off the gold medal made him feel like he had been beaten with chicken blood. Chen Wenyuan already had a good impression of Yang Zhi, I heard that he was ordered to go out of Beijing to Shandong to inspect for a long time, and the emperor who drove the expedition was not even in one direction, and recently it was rumored that the emperor was sick on the way to the class.

So far, this big scene of mountain rain is only in the stage of pantomime. Although the two old guys were as clear as a mirror to Yang Zhi's intentions, it was impossible to promise him anything easily. However, both of them exaggerated their joy and gratitude to Yang Zhi's "condolences", and summoned everyone from the two mansions with great fanfare. Facing the gold medal mountain, shout long live and thank the "emperor". They didn't necessarily need this half-truth, and Yang Zhi didn't expect them to charge into battle, what he needed was an attitude and as many tongues as possible.

The tacit cooperation between the two old men made Yang Zhi's visit very smooth. The New Year's Day not only did not stop like a mule rushing to pull goods, but also disturbed the chickens and dogs in people's houses, making him feel tired and tired from the bottom of his heart. Three of the four important ministers of the prison state have been visited. Even the former Taiwei did not fall behind, so as not to fall into the favor of one over the other, he must not leave the Taiwei Mansion of Weisu alone. …… It seems that it is not a bad thing to put the Wei Mansion at the bottom, let's talk about it tomorrow!

When he returned home, Yang Zhi noticed that the candles were still flickering in Shen Yu and Zhao Yan's room. Although the two women have basically settled, Zhao Yan has brought indescribable embarrassment to this family that was originally "neither big nor small, neither up nor down". Yang Zhi was physically and mentally exhausted, and he felt that it was not suitable to accompany anyone, and he did not reach the perverted ideological realm of sleeping with two big-bellied mothers-in-law. I only called Ah Fu to explain and inform the two ladies that I was back, so that they could rest in peace earlier, and then yawned and went to sleep in the wing. I think I've been so tired these past few days, and I haven't dreamed all night.

Yang Zhiyu's feelings about Wei Su in public and private have always been contradictory, and his visit to Wei Fu naturally has a completely different meaning. Wei Su and Mrs. Wei have always been the elders whom he sincerely respects, and he still owes the Wei family a heavy favor. Yang Zhi believes that the personal relationship between Wei Su's father and son cannot be forgotten, there is no need to talk about state affairs, and in fact, there is no room for discussion. In order to extend the friendship with Wei Feiyang to the longest, in order to maintain the personal friendship with the Wei family for the longest time, and in order to show his enough respect for the Wei couple, Yang Zhi listed many reasons in his heart to rank in front ......of the word "temptation". He believed that his every move after his public appearance in Chang'an would not be able to hide from Wei Su's eyes, and perhaps Wei Su was also looking forward to his visit.

December 24, the twenty-fifth year of Wucheng in the summer calendar is a rare good weather in winter, the heavy snow has stopped for several days, Chang'an is covered in silver and enchanting sunny days, people's mood seems to be refreshing with the weather clearing, and the atmosphere of peace and festivity has become more and more intense.

Yang Zhi got up early in the morning, personally selected and prepared a generous gift, and after breakfast, he ordered a few guards and went straight to the Wei Mansion. The Flying Tiger Marquis has always been generous to the guards on duty in the mansion, and he never does anything in vain. Wei Su is frugal but not stingy with outsiders, this is a beautiful difference that is rewarded at both ends!

Sure enough, Wei Su, who received the doorman's gift, was not surprised by Yang Zhi's visit, and greeted him with Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Wei is simple by nature. Since his son and Yang Zhi got married, the two have been in close contact. The son has never left his side until he is sixteen years old, and the year is about to close, but the son of the general is leading the army to fight abroad, how can the mother not worry? The arrival of Yang Zhi is a great comfort to Mrs. Wei. As soon as he entered the door, he took his hand and asked long and short questions.

After the guests and hosts sat down to greet and serve tea, Mrs. Wei said with a loving face: "Virtuous nephew, I originally wanted to go to see Yu'er in the next two days, but I was afraid that it would disturb the reunion of the two of you and delay it, and I don't want you to come first today." I heard that you welcomed the princess through the door? You kid is good at everything, but you're a little bolder. Now that Yu'er and the princess have bodies, I have to take a look. ”

Mrs. Wei seems to be chattering, but in fact, her words have a deep meaning, which makes Yang Zhi feel warm. Yang Zhixue welcomed Zhao Yan into the door at night without reasonable and legal handover procedures, and in the eyes of outsiders, it was undoubtedly bold and rebellious. Ten ** is a curse and not a blessing. Others avoided it, but Mrs. Wei openly claimed that she wanted to visit, which is a kind of recognition, support and care that requires courage.

Wei Su frowned slightly, and said gently: "Madam, since this is the case, why don't you go to the Flying Tiger Marquis Mansion on my behalf today!" The so-called coming and not being rude, ashamed of being a virtuous nephew, why don't you go and prepare some light gifts now? ”

"Yes, yes! Virtuous nephew, my lord accompanies you to talk here. Forgive me for not being with me for the time being. Mrs. Wei agreed repeatedly.

Yang Zhi looked at this posture, and knew that Wei Su must be as reluctant to say a word to his wife as he was, and intended to break her away. Although Mrs. Wei's enthusiastic care made him feel a lot of emotion, she only thanked him and did not stop him.

Although Yang Zhi has a deep relationship with Wei's father and son. Today is the second official meeting with Wei Su, except for Wei Su summoned before the battle in Shuofang, the two have no contact. Wei Su, who is known as the first general in Great Xia, still looks like a rural farmer, with a calm smile, like a simple and friendly elder. Yang Zhi couldn't help but feel a little in a trance: Which one is the real Wei Su?

After seeing Mrs. Wei happily enter the back hall, Wei Su smiled calmly: "Virtuous nephew." You and I have been separated from each other for more than half a year since this spring, you are not only a bloody battle in the desert, but also a full name of both civil and military people all over the world, you are really a hero out of a young man! I have already said that you and Feiyang are brothers, they are really masters and apprentices, and it is a great fortune for my son to be able to become close friends with such characters as virtuous nephews! ”

Only then did Yang Zhi restrain his mind and respond respectfully: "The general's words are serious. The general has been defending the border for the country for many years, so that the Turks cannot cross the Great Wall for half a step, so that it can really be called a meritorious service. There is a way that the tiger father has no dog son, Feiyang is loyal to the liver, brave, wise and brave, only sixteen years old to worship the general to guard one side, it is really the general's godson has a way, how dare the little nephew be greedy for the merits of the sky? ”

Wei Su's gossipy homely opening remarks not only praised Yang Zhi but also pointed out his special relationship with his son, aiming to shorten the distance between him and Yang Zhi. Yang Zhi polished the top hat and then returned it, although it was a little numb, he still kept the distance between each other just right. How much of what the two said is true and how much is false?

Wei Su's smile froze slightly: "You and I are not outsiders, why should the virtuous nephew be so humble?" Everyone in the world says that the virtuous nephew is bold and wild, it seems that he has misunderstood you! ”

"The little nephew was originally born in a family of businessmen in the mountains, and he knew that Meng Lang would inevitably be perverse when he acted on weekdays, if someone really commented on me like that, he was not wrong. It's just that the boldness of the little nephew also depends on who and when, and how dare he make a mistake in front of the general? ”

In everything, there is no word for benefit, and for those who are important to worry first. Compared with plotting to seize the emperor's throne and sitting on a splendid country, Yang Zhi's life ideals are really not worth mentioning. This point has been verified when Jin meets the queen, Wei Su is a human being, not a god, can he be exempt from vulgarity? Yang Zhi thought very clearly on the way here, it was also a temptation, Wei Su should be more anxious than him. Then take defense as an attack, and listen to what Weisu will say first. It is just to respond with words, and make up your mind that you will never take the initiative to provoke the topic.

Wei Su was obviously not very accustomed to Yang Zhi's cunning and sophistication, and he was silent after answering politely, and the two were speechless for a while, and the seemingly friendly atmosphere was suddenly mixed with a little embarrassment.

After a moment of relative silence, Wei Su coughed lightly and asked kindly: "I heard that the virtuous nephew was ordered to go out of Beijing to inspect a few months ago, is this time to return to Beijing to pay the decree before the year?" The emperor was infected with the dragon's body on the way to the class, and the virtuous nephew had ever met Tianyan before returning to Beijing? Didn't you come here today? ”

Sure enough, as Yang Zhi expected, Wei Su didn't go around too much circle to get to the point. There is not a single word mentioning the royal gold medal, and every word refers to the gold medal. Your inspection in Beijing is "ordered", and visiting the two old ministers in the name of condolences is also "ordered", is it the exception to visit my door? If you don't go back sooner or later, why did you appear in the capital at this juncture? If you don't meet the emperor halfway, how can you "obey the order" in everything? If so, even if you hold the gold medal, you can't escape the crime of rebellion!

Although Yang Zhi knew that the two of them were ghosts, Wei Su's words made him sad and cold. The reason why he did not show off the gold medal under the banner of the order was because he felt that it was not necessary out of his sincere respect for the Wei couple. Asking himself to worship as a junior, at least fifty percent of them are sincere, but Wei Su has preconceived and characterized him as a malicious weasel!

In fact, even if Wei Su treats Yang Zhi as a weasel, he may not have wronged him. Yang Zhi thought about it like this, and finally regained a little psychological balance. Except for the Qin father and son, no one in Chang'an knew that he was painstakingly carving out his own kingdom off the coast of Shandong. He believes that in the eyes of the prince's group, his current position and situation should be very delicate. Not to mention having one more friend, even if he is stable and neutral, it is better than having one more strong enemy. Even the queen and the maid knew that they had written him a sky-high check in order to build a "united front", could it be that Wei Su had already classified him into the ranks of the enemy?

Wei Su's words contain traps, and Yang Zhi will be fooled if he responds truthfully. Although he was not afraid and didn't care, he still didn't go to answer: "The little nephew came to visit today with a little courtesy, and he had no other intentions." Madame treats me and Yu'er as her own children, and Feiyang treats me sincerely, not a brother is better than a brother, and I miss it for a moment. Now that the New Year is approaching, Feiyang is far away in Jinling and cannot reunite with his parents on his knees, and the little nephew is just talking about his heart, in order to do his filial piety on behalf of the fourth brother. Why did the general say this? ”

Yang Zhi's face had changed in his heart, but he habitually had a lazy smile. Lao Tzu Gu bowed to see that it was for the sake of Mrs. Wei and her brother-in-law, and there was nothing to do with you. It's shameful to start fooling you under the guise of brotherhood, and there's no way to do it, who told us that we weren't destined to get on the same boat?
