Chapter 062: Redemption
What makes Xian abdicate is pure bullshit, Yang Zhi does not agree with Qin Kongyun's words. The emperor's father's practices are just another version of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's treatment of the Hou Zhou Chai family. At most, it can only be said that the late Guozhang is quite interesting, otherwise let alone the son and daughter of the marquis and the queen, whether the life of the family can be saved, I am afraid it is a little suspenseful.
Although it is still an exchange of interests for Li, the Li family has one family, one queen and three marquis, and the Xia emperors of the two dynasties have been favored and favored, and their power can be described as deep roots. Uncle Guo's unlucky son is a live split, two of the three murderers are the sons of a general with heavy troops, and one is also a budding general of the forbidden army. Yang Zhi saw through the essence of this matter at a glance: it was originally a big thing, but because a gentleman who had taken his luck to the extreme, he inadvertently provoked a "little widow" who should never be provoked, and it turned into a major event between the two powerful groups of the military and his relatives.
Shen Yu was silent when he saw that Yang Zhi was stunned, and said timidly: "Xianggong, this matter started because of me, you must think of a way to save their ......." What are you thinking? ”
In the past, the root cause of Yang Zhi's tranquil mood was largely because he had always put himself in the position of a spectator, and the fame, fortune and power of this world did not attract him much. The signature lazy smile that seems to be indifferent to everything has confused many people. But is he really just a spectator? Can he still be a spectator with peace of mind?
Qin Kongyun had only seen the cunning in his ruthlessness on the night when the caravan resisted the robbery. And at this moment, Yang Zhi's face was gloomy and his eyes were terrifying, and Qin Kongyun couldn't help but feel a little numb on his scalp: this uncle's temper is sometimes as good as an old lady who eats fasting and recites Buddha, and sometimes he is so bold that he is terrifying,...... He didn't want to rob the prison, did he?
He persuaded him: "They are all good brothers and men with great righteousness, and they must be saved." This matter is not in a hurry for a while, so it is better to wait for the eldest brother to come back and then discuss it in the long run. ”
Yang Zhifa muttered like a dream: "What is a brother? A brother is the one who can block bullets for you without hesitation when life and death are at stake. ”
Blocking bullets? …… What is Bullet? Qin Kongyun and Shen Yu glanced at each other in confusion, Shen Yu grabbed his arm and said nervously: "Xianggong, Xianggong!" What happened to you? ”
"Oh, not really." Yang Zhi came back to his senses from the conjecture of his previous life, as if he was telling Shen Yu and Qin Kongyun, and seemed to be talking to himself: "I'm thinking, if the three of them don't stand up for you, what would the result of this matter be?" If Feiyang and Geng Chao were not involved, what would the emperor do with Shenzhong? I wondered, if I really die this time, will my family have to rely on my brothers to protect me for the rest of my life? I'm thinking, this time it's An Guihou, which marquis or grandfather or prince will it be next time? ”
A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I also know that some things are in a hurry. It's okay, I've always been very patient. ”
Yang Zhi's questions were not difficult to answer, and he didn't want the two of them to answer. But the sad question that came out of his mouth made the two of them involuntarily feel a chill from behind their spines. The three of them were thinking about their own thoughts, and they were speechless for a while.
After a while, the guards came to report: Master Xu Wenhan, a scholar of Jixian Palace, is here. Qin Kongyun said strangely: "This is the end of the hour, why did the emperor disperse so early today?" ”
I saw that Xu Wenhan was dressed in a strict three-grade senior crown belt, and unexpectedly saw Yang Zhi without half excitement, and retired from many guards in the courtyard, and said expressionlessly: "There is a holy oracle!" Flying Tiger General, first-class loyal military prince Yang Zhi received the order. ”
Qin Kongyun and Shen Yu hurriedly made a gesture to kneel, Yang Zhi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't even bother to get up: "Okay, okay." There are no outsiders here, Lord Xu, are you tired? Isn't it the end of the decree that I can see? ”
Xu Wenhan didn't hear it, and stood solemnly and said loudly: "The emperor's message: Yang Zhi, it's good to be back." I'm happy, and I'm not happy. ”
“…… That's it? Got it. Yang Zhi smiled bitterly: "Me too." Big brother, don't come to harm? Why did you rob Grandpa Ma's job today? ”
"The king has a life, and the minister does not dare to resign. Now that there are many guards in the house, it's not a bad thing to be careful. Xu Wenhan patted Yang Zhi's shoulders again and again with moist eyes and said, "The emperor is right, it's good that you're back!" I knew you wouldn't die so easily! ”
Qin Kongyun sighed: "On the day Geng Chao returned to Beijing, the eldest brother said that as long as he did not see the body of the third brother with his own eyes, he would never believe that the third brother was dead. It's a pity that everyone thought it was the eldest brother's sad words at the time, but no one cared. ”
Xu Wenhan is a well-educated person, and the joy and anger of "a gentleman carefree" are invisible, and he is not as excited as Qin Kongyun to meet Yang Zhi. The first sentence after taking his seat was: "Last month, the Fang army reported that civil strife broke out in the Turks due to the assassination of the Khan and the King of Zuo Xian on the same night, and the King of Right Xian and the King of Tu Evil both established themselves as Khans to fight each other. Third brother, did you kill the Turkic Khan and King Zuoxian? ”
Yang Zhi said frankly: "The Khan of Tuodu did die under my sword, but Zarhan, the king of Zuoxian, was killed by a group of dead soldiers of Northern Yan, the daughter of the king of Beiyanding, the lord of Pingning. ”
Qin Kongyun and Shen Yu were shocked, and Xu Wenhan said with relief: "It's not far from what I expected. I wasn't completely sure that I could save Geng Chao's life, and the third brother came back at the right time. Now that you have this great credit, it should be enough to exchange Geng Chao for immortality. ”
Yang Zhi nodded and said, "I am just thinking about this matter, but the details have not been sorted out yet. ”
Qin Kongyun pondered for a moment, and said worriedly: "General Wei's military exploits are brilliant, and with the respect of today's prince and father-in-law, he is only awarded the title of second-class duke. The third brother Juelu has reached the peak of the people and ministers in front of him, and now he has made such immortal achievements, is it possible that the emperor will still crown you as the first king with a different surname in Great Xia? Besides, there is no evidence for the assassination of Tudu Khan, how can the emperor believe it? The high merit of the people and even the rewards of the people is not a good thing since ancient times! ”
Xu Wenhan said with a smile: "In the troubled times, there are many opportunities for meritorious service in the southern and northern wars to expand the territory, and the emperor must of course leave room for the reward of Juelu. General Wei is close to knowing the year of the Mandate of Heaven, and when Zhishi is free, his first-class duke will not be able to run. But Juelu is not irreducible, the emperor's consideration of the rewards of the dead and the living, and the belief or disbelief of the third brother's great merit, are very knowledgeable. ”
Yang Zhi and Xu Wenhan looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and said with a mocking smile: "Of course, the emperor will be extraordinarily generous to the dead, and my empty general and any first-class loyal military duke can't be taken seriously." Even if I were a dead man, the Emperor would never have been able to posthumously bestow him a knighthood during his lifetime. Otherwise, if the emperor's brother is full one day and has nothing to do and remembers me something, will he let him crown me emperor? The emperor is not a stupid person, even if he has the idea of setting me up as a benchmark for military generals who fool the common people, this cheap face will be left to his children and grandchildren to do. ”
"It is precisely because I came back alive that the emperor has encountered such a bad thing that makes him feel a headache, so he will say that he is very happy and unhappy, so the eldest brother said that it was to change Geng Chao's immortality, not to ensure Geng Chao's immortality."
Xu Wenhan said: "The question now is how to change it? There is no room for error in this matter, and it is necessary to be very cautious. ”
