Chapter IX: Conflict of Interests
Under the deliberate spread and relocation of Yang Jishan's wife Yue, the news that Yang Yuanqing obtained 1,000 acres of land in Jingyang soon spread throughout the Yang Mansion.
Everyone wants to get land and real estate, but because of the clan rules, his hope is just a dream, but everyone's heart is balanced, not widowed, uneven, when Yang Yuanqing obtained a thousand acres of land, and the most fertile land reached everyone's ears, even the most tolerant people could not bear it, this matter to a fuse, ignited everyone's dissatisfaction and anger against Yang Yuanqing.
This kind of dissatisfaction has been coming for a long time, a huge family, everyone has a si heart, everyone wants to get more benefits, everyone wants their children to get more opportunities, everyone is fighting for it, in this situation (Wu Dong Qiankun latest chapter 81zw), it is necessary to use a common recognition of the rules to restrain everyone's siyu, this is not only the Yang family, any big family must be like this, even including a country.
Under the constraints of this rule, everyone lives according to the rules, waits patiently, and obtains their own share with peace of mind, and the family is also very peaceful.
But when Yang Yuanqing, an outlier, broke into the family, it would make everyone feel uneasy, he had been away from the family for too long, and he had completely escaped from the family's distribution system, coupled with his identity that had been criticized since he was a child, even the concubine looked down on him.
He was away for five years, and everyone had forgotten about him, when he suddenly broke into the family. First of all, he was treated as a concubine. One person occupies a single courtyard with seven or eight houses, breaking the distribution rules of the family, which makes the vast majority of the family uncomfortable, and the concubine thinks it is unworthy, and the concubine thinks it is unfair.
It's like queuing up to buy tickets, everyone has been queuing all night, waiting in order, but at this time, suddenly a chā team member comes running, and chā is the first. And to buy the best and most tickets, so that those who have worked hard in line all night will inevitably be angry.
If this is the Luàn world, a person with extraordinary strength will gain more benefits. Everyone has nothing to criticize, but now is not, now is the peak of the Great Sui's national strength, and Yang Yuanqing's status as a border general is insignificant.
"What do you say about this?"
In the room, the three brothers Yang Jishan, Yang Wanshi, and Yang Renxing are urgently discussing countermeasures. He is responsible for managing the family grange, in fact, he found out about the Jingyang Grange in two months, but he has never dared to say it, he knows his father's preference for Yang Yuanqing, and he is afraid that he will be scolded by his father if he says it.
When he heard that his father went to Luoyang to take charge of the construction of the new capital and couldn't come back for a year and a half, he couldn't bear it anymore and secretly told his wife about it, and then spread it all over the province.
"It's better to make sure that is the case? I'm just hearsay, too. There is no evidence. Yang Jishan said tactfully.
"I've confirmed it clearly, I just asked Yang Xuanting, and he admitted that there is such a thing, it's true, and there will be no mistake."
It was Yang Wanshi who spoke, and he was the one who advocated the division of the land the most. Once his father died, the land under his father's name would fall into the hands of his eldest brother Yang Xuangan, and it would not be their turn to have a few brothers, so it was best to divide the land first when his father was alive, and Yang Yuanqing would get a thousand acres of land, he thought it was the best opportunity.
"This matter can't be stopped anyway, if my father is unfair, then our family is finished, and we must unite and denounce this matter together."
Yang Xingren's bang! He slammed his fist on the table and said hatefully: "The fifth brother is right, he is a grandson, isn't our child a grandson?" Why give him the best land, this matter must not be counted, we don't go to Xuangan, he can't solve it, let's go to the third uncle, let the third uncle administer justice. ”
"Is the third uncle here?"
"In! I just saw him come back. ”
"Why don't we call Xuan Ming, Xuan Qing and Xuan Jing together, and everyone will find the third uncle!"
The three brothers left the room, and everyone went separately to find someone.
........
In another room, an NV man roared at her husband, "Every SI can get Ueda, why don't we have it, although you are a concubine, but at least you are stronger than SI Sheng, you have to go, you have to go, even if it is not for me, you have to think about our five children, they will get married when they grow up, they want land, how do they live?" You are their father, he is going to fight for the land for them, it is your responsibility, you must go! ”
The man Huo Ran stood up, clenched his fists, and let out a long breath, "I'll just go!" ”
"Erlang, do you know where to go?"
"I know, I'll go find the third uncle!"
.......
In a nong hall, the younger brother pulled his brother's shirt, pressed him against the wall, stared into his eyes and said: "He is just a si, but he can get a thousand acres of gold without exchanging land, we are concubines, but we have nothing, I am not rare land, but I want dignity, I want the head of the family to give me an explanation, I want to go, you must also go, if you are cowardly, the rules of the Yang family will be destroyed, you say, to go?" ”
"But on the head of the family, have you thought about it, when he comes back, how can we do it?"
"This matter is not to blame the public, this is everyone's unanimous opinion, no matter how partial the head of the family is to him, he will not fight against the whole family for a sisheng, big brother, are you going?"
"You're right, this matter is not to be held accountable!"
The elder brother slowly clenched his fists, "If we don't insist, the rules will be broken, I'll go!" ”
"Go to the third uncle and let him make the decision for us!"
.........
Yang Yue has just returned to the house, and the three brothers of the Yang family, Yang Su, Yang Shen, and Yang Yue all live together, but the interior of the mansion is separated, and when Yang Su is not at home, Yang Yue will decide the affairs of this family.
At this time, Yang Yue was in a very annoyed mood, and when he went home, he locked himself in the study, and he didn't want to see anyone. He was thinking about how to give the saint a jiāo generation. He wanted to send someone to send a letter to everyone to ask for his opinion, but he couldn't afford to delay this matter, and tomorrow there will be a batch of more than forty copies of the holy decree sent to him, if he doesn't give the holy lord a jiāo generation tonight, then tomorrow he will definitely return the holy decree, that is the third time, but there are only three things, and the holy one will definitely not be able to spare him. But to clean up Yang Yuanqing, he doesn't know where to start?
Yang Yue locked himself in his room and thought about it, but he didn't know that something big had happened in the mansion today.
A commotion from outside woke Yang Yue from his contemplation. Immediately afterwards, a housekeeper reported to Mén, "Master, Xuan Jinggong and they gathered outside, saying that they have something important to see the master." ”
"What's the big deal?" Yang Yue asked impatiently.
"I don't know, there are more than 20 people! They are all males of each house. ”
Yang Yue was slightly stunned, more than 20 people came, and he was a little strange. He got up and walked to the front yard, where more than 20 people had gathered, including a few of his children.
"Xuan Ming, what's wrong?"
As soon as everyone turned around, they saw that Yang Yue had come out, and immediately quieted down, and Yang Xuanming, the head of Yang Yue, stepped forward and saluted: "Father, something has happened that makes people extremely angry, everyone is unhappy in their hearts, and they want to ask their father to uphold justice." ”
"What's the matter?"
"That's right. Yang Yuanqing of Xuangan, for some reason, the best grange in Jingyang was taken away by Yang Yuanqing and became his Si property, everyone felt very unfair and asked to investigate the matter. Let's give you an explanation. ”
Yang Yue was stunned for a moment, he didn't even know about this matter, and then his heart lit up, this is simply God helping him, he is worried that he can't find an excuse to clean up Yang Yuanqing, no, the excuse will be sent immediately, this is the will of God.
He swept his eyes and saw that Yang Xuanting, who was in charge of family affairs, was also there, so he immediately asked him: "Xuanting, is this matter serious?" ”
Yang Xuanting bowed and said: "It is indeed with this matter, two months ago, my father ordered me to transfer the grange in Jingyang to Yuanqing, what is the reason, but my father did not say." ”
Yang Yue hesitated, it turned out that the eldest brother gave it to him, which was a bit troublesome, he knew that the eldest brother must have done this for a reason, but the eldest brother is now in Luoyang, and there is no way to prove it for a while.
If he uses this matter to make a fuss, in case the eldest brother has any purpose, it will be self-defeating, but after thinking about it, he feels that he can also explain to the eldest brother, and if the crowd is angry, if it is not dealt with in time, it will make the family uneasy.
The key is that this matter involves Yang Yuanqing, Yang Yue remembered what the saint said to him, he was afraid in his heart, he finally had a heart, for the sake of his status in the imperial court, he decided to let go.
"So be it! Let's go to the middle hall for a meeting and discuss. ”
He said to Yang Xuanting again: "Go and find Yang Yuanqing, I will ask him personally." ”
"Third uncle, it seems that Yang Yuanqing has moved out, and the things in his room are gone."
"Moved out!"
Yang You's eyebrows were wrinkled, he didn't even move out himself, he was a grandson, and he dared to leave the family?
"Send someone to get him back, go quickly!"
Yang Xuanting had no choice but to send someone to find Yang Yuanqing, and Yang Yue said to Yang Xuanjing again: "Xuanjing, invite your father too, and there is also Xuangan, Jishan, you go and invite your eldest brother too." ”
After giving orders one by one, everyone went to the middle hall together.
.........
In Yang Xuangan's room, Yang Rong also returned, and at the behest of his mother, he brought new pressure to his father.
"Father, His Royal Highness King Qi asked me to tell my father that the hatred between him and Yang Yuanqing is irresolvable, but he doesn't want to transfer the hatred to his father."
"And what does he want me to do?" Yang Xuan asked coldly.
"I also asked King Qi, what should we do?"
"And what did he say?"
He said.... The father himself knew what to do. ”
"What are these words, I don't know in my heart!"
Yang Xuangan suddenly roared in annoyance, and Mrs. Zheng hurriedly persuaded: "Master, what are you angry with the child, the child has been angry enough on King Qi's side, and he will be angry with you when he comes back, hey!" ”
Mrs. Zheng quickly gave her son a look, and Yang Rong slowly retreated.
Yang Xuan felt annoyed in his heart, this kind of family infighting made his head as big as a fight, it stands to reason that he is the eldest son, this kind of family internal strife he should stand up, make a gesture, and mediate, but the problem is that the person concerned is his son, let him mediate, if he can't do it, he will take Yuan Qing away, and let him go to his father.
Yang Xuangan sat on the couch and closed his eyes and recuperated without saying a word, while Mrs. Zheng repeatedly persuaded him on the side.
"Master, it's not that I'm mean, I can ignore the land, but other things make me really dissatisfied, it's really my father who is too proud of Yuanqing, what do you see he did when he returned to Beijing for a few months? He Ruobi's family was killed because of him, offended those Guanlong nobles, offended King Qi, and now even the queen hates him, if he is personally offended, it will be fine, now the problem is that he is implicated in my son, what should I do about Jun'er's career? There is also Rong'er, he is working in the Qi Palace, you can imagine the pressure he is under, that Shu is a mourning star, and he must be severely punished, this time I will not allow you to protect him again, this time you must listen to me. ”
Yang Xuangan sighed for a while and said, "What do you want me to do?" After all, he is my son, and when my father comes back, how can I tell my father Jiāo? ”
"But how do you say to your clansmen? Now everyone is extremely dissatisfied with him, if you favor him, you will take over the position of the head of your father's family in the future, see how you manage such a family? Your prestige in the family is gone, sir, I am also from a large family, and I know that the family is much more important than him. ”
His wife's words hammered heavily in Yang Xuangan's heart, a family is indeed much more important than a concubine, he slowly lowered his head and stopped talking.
Mrs. Zheng glanced at her husband, she also knew that she couldn't put too much pressure on her husband, she had to give her husband a step, she had a plan in her heart.
"So be it! I don't want you to be embarrassed, you go to the other courtyard today to avoid it, go over there to rest, I will let a few more maids serve you, you don't care about Yuanqing's affairs, let the family settle accounts with him, I guess I just want to go back to the land, it's not a big problem, and when my father comes back, you can also say that you are busy with court affairs, I don't know about it. ”
Yang Xuangan has a small courtyard in Qujiangchi, the scenery is beautiful, it is their family's vacation place, Yang Xuangan was pressured by his wife, and he didn't want to offend the clansmen, thinking about it, he could only avoid this matter, he had to sigh, nodded and said: "Okay! Just listen to you, I'll go to another courtyard for a while, you just say that there is something in Honglu Temple, I'm busy with official business, remember, don't say that I know about this, I don't know anything about this. ”
As soon as the words fell, Yang Jishan's voice came from the mouth of the outer courtyard, "Big brother, there is a meeting in the middle hall, the third uncle invites you to go!" ”
Frightened, Yang Xuangan waved his hand again and again, and whispered to his wife: "You tell me, I'm already gone!" ”
Mrs. Zheng walked into the courtyard and smiled at Yang Jishan: "What a coincidence! Someone from Ganghonglu Temple said that something happened to the Turkic envoys, and your eldest brother rushed to deal with it, not long after leaving. ”
"That's it! Then forget it, bother the sister-in-law. ”
"It's okay, come and sit often in the future!"
Yang Jishan left, Yang Xuangan immediately packed up his things, got into a carriage and left Yang's mansion, heading towards Quchi Courtyard.
