Chapter 409: Sell a cute and make a date
readx;?? Emperors are also human beings, and they also have the softest part of their hearts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoZhao Qi and Zhao Yan were born to the same mother, and they both say that blood is thicker than water, and the relationship between the sisters and brothers goes without saying. In the final analysis, the marriage between Zhao Yan and Yang Zhi was designed by Zhao Qi back then.
Yang Xiao's rhetoric, Zhao Qi knew that at most a fifty percent credibility was already very good. But his son Yang Zhi has indeed performed many miraculous feats in Great Xia, and he is indeed unofficial and untitled on the surface, this kid is called by an uncle, what can you do with him? If it is due to Yang Zhi's instructions, doesn't it mean sending his son to Chang'an as a hostage?
Zhao Qi intended to let Yang Xiao go to the army to be a captain, and it was definitely not a casual remark. Really let him be abducted and deceived in Chang'an under the banner of the Yang family, do you think this kid can't do it? I feel dizzy just thinking about it. Let him go to the army, at least the entry and exit are not so free, at least someone will take care of it. In case something out of the ordinary, whether it is to wipe the ass or the external impact, it is only within a limited scope.
Today's Queen Mother is Concubine Mei back then. As early as the Wucheng period, Concubine Mei had the reputation of being gentle and virtuous in the palace. But the old man's intergenerational doting on his grandchildren has been the same since ancient times, and the queen mother is not exempt from vulgarity. Since the moment Yang Xiao saw the Queen Mother, he has not called the Queen Mother seriously, only called his grandmother. Yang Xiao's appearance is already very pleasing, his mouth is sweet and flickering, the queen mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and it is too easy to take it down with only these two things.
Zhao Qi went to the Empress Dowager's Palace* for lunch, and the Empress Dowager immediately became a lobbyist for Yang Xiao: "Emperor, you and Yan'er are sisters and brothers, and there is only one precious grandson like Xiao'er in the mourning family, since he doesn't want to go, how can you bear to let him go to the army to suffer?" ”
The queen mother complained, but Zhao Qi's determination was strengthened. glared at Yang Xiao fiercely, and persuaded with a smile: "Queen Mother." As the saying goes, a loving mother has many defeated children, and her sons are also for his good. Everyone knows that he is your grandson, my nephew. Yang Zhi and the son of the imperial sister, no one dares to treat him badly anywhere. The queen mother doesn't have to worry too much. ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she knew that Zhao Qi's decision could not be changed. took Yang Xiao's hand and sighed helplessly: "The mourning family is afraid of suffering this child." ”
is so shameless to sell cuteness and coax the old lady, in fact, Yang Xiao himself feels a little disgusting. But as long as the Queen Mother is happy, it is not only a large-amount ATM, but also a powerful talisman.
Giggled and said, "With the words of the emperor's uncle, I am relieved." The captain is the captain, but I really don't have any money...... ”
Zhao Qi snorted coldly: "Stinky boy." Shut up! The army has food and clothing provided by the imperial court, and there is a monthly salary to receive, what is the use of the money you want? ”
"Alright, alright! Good manners, don't freak out the kids! The Queen Mother hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "If it's just to beg for a bite to eat, why did Xiao'er come all the way to Chang'an to find your uncle?" Xiao'er, uncle doesn't give it, grandma gives! I'll give you 10,000 taels to use first, okay? It's not enough to ask my grandmother again. You are not allowed to do those things that are abducted and deceived! ”
Zhao Qi's mother was extremely filial, and she was helpless for a while. I thought to myself. Yang Xiao is begging for money everywhere, but it is a good thing. Although Yang Zhi has been in the field for many years, who doesn't know that the Yang family is powerful? What Yang Xiao said is true or false. It's always the face of his old Yang family!
After having lunch with the Queen Mother, she went back to the palace to rest for a while, and summoned Jin Zishan again.
Today's Jin Zishan is no longer the emperor's personal attendant, but the governor of the Longxiang Admiral's Mansion, in fact, Zhao Qi made the previous secret spy organization of the inner court public, and set up a separate spy agency similar to the Ming Dynasty factory guard.
briefly explained the situation of Yang Xiao's visit to Beijing, and asked, "Lao Jin, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Jin Zishan is always talented, and he has always been very cautious: "Your Majesty." Judging from the secret reports sent back by Xinyang over the years, Yang Xiao's words should be generally true. The two generations of the Yang family, father and son, have a lot of habits for their children and grandchildren. Yang Zhi's teaching for children focuses on encouraging self-reliance and self-improvement. But for reading, practicing martial arts, and other miscellaneous studies, he is based on personal preference and never reluctantly. This section is well known in Xinyang. ”
Zhao Qi said impatiently: "Everyone knows something, do I still need to ask you?" ”
Zhao Qi's worries, Jin Zishan has actually given the answer. The emperor was not satisfied, so he could only say clearly: "The servants think that the actions of Yang Meng, Yang Xiao, Yang Ling, Yang Long, Yang Zhan and other Yang children are not instructed by their father Yang Zhi. ”
"The emperor's general Yang Xiao was sent to the army, and General Zuo Xiaowei was diligent and cautious, and he would never deliberately take care of it. The army is not as good as the localities, and there is military discipline and control on weekdays, and it is extremely difficult to falsify it in the eyes of everyone. It is not easy for Yang Xiao to gain a firm foothold and not be excluded, and if he wants to be promoted, he must show his real skills to speak. If he wants to mess around, the emperor might as well let it go. ”
"Yang Meng went to the Yamen, the governor of Jinling Customs, and the situation was the same. Yang Ling is a daughter, so there is nothing to worry about. If Yang Long wants to be in charge of Yizhou in the future, he will not have to go to the wild land of Lingnan according to the Yang family's situation. ”
"The emperor allows the servants to say something that should not be said, if Yang Zhiru has the heart to let the sons become officials, there is no need to take these many detours. However, people's hearts are unpredictable and the world is unpredictable, and the minions will do their best to keep a close eye on the movements of the Yang brothers. ”
Zhao Qi thought for a moment and ordered: "Yang Xiao doesn't need to, I will order Yan Fang to slowly concoct him." Xinyang's side must not relax, Yang Meng and Yang Long will also be watched by me! ”
After Jin Zishan withdrew, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh in distraction.
The emperor was so suspicious of the Yang family, not only because the Yang family dominated one side, but also because he pushed others. How similar is Zhao Qi's growth process to Yang Zhi's educational philosophy for his children? Twenty years ago, and even fifteen years ago, it was a big joke for anyone to say that he would ascend to the throne of God. But the jokes of the year have created an unattainable myth.
When Yang Xiao first arrived in Chang'an, he disturbed the emperor's mind, but Yang Meng, who was far away in Jinling, was in a different situation.
In Zhao Qi's mind, only Yang Meng and Yang Xiao are the nephews who can really talk about a little affection. Yang Zhi's other three children, Yang Ling, Yang Long, Yang Zhan, and even the third wife of the Yang family, Linglong, have never met so far, and they don't know whether they are round or flat.
Yang Xiao claimed that his brother Yang Meng likes to fight, like to cross the ocean to grab money, and do business, which is true. The impression that Yang Meng left on Zhao Qi when he was a child was also relatively straightforward and honest. When I grew up, I put it in layman's terms. It's just a young man who looks well-limbed and simple-minded.
Jinling in March is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies and the spring flowers bloom.
Thanks to the excellent and powerful genetics, Yang Meng, who is only a few days older than his brother Yang Xiao, is a brother. was born taller and more handsome than Yang Xiao. This young master of the Yang family is doing something that can be called avant-garde in this era.
A luxurious and elegant mansion in the western suburbs of Jinling. The owner of the mansion, Mr. Chen, sipped new tea in the garden of the inner house, enjoying the bright spring sunshine and the warm breeze.
Yang Zhi's original intention of establishing the Yamen, the Governor of Customs, was to expand and expand his own power in exchange for the previous emperor's wealth. However, it also directly contributed to the legalization and standardization of overseas trade and trade, which was sneaky and chaotic at that time. Although the title is very low. And it is only symbolic, but in fact, it gives some powerful businessmen a certain political status. A series of measures at that time also gave birth to a large number of business tycoons.
The Chen family is one of the beneficiaries, and they are the wealthy businessmen who have ranked among the top in Jinling in recent years.
The servant came to report: "Master, master! There are guests visiting. ”
Master Chen said unhappily: "Who is visiting?" ”
"It's a young man dressed in the uniform of a customs governor's yamen officer, and his name is Yang Meng."
"The young officer of the Governor's Yamen?" Old Man Chen muttered: "Only the governor's yamen and a few officials in the branch office have broken hands with the old man, and the officials rarely have contact. But our Chen family business has always been very well-behaved, the tax has never been in arrears, and the dots of the four hours and eight festivals have never been short! ”
Hades is easy to see, and the little ghost is difficult to deal with, and Master Chen still has it. The Chen family is not short of a few small money: "The name Yang Meng, the old man has no impression. Aren't you here to fight the autumn wind? If it is not important, then send ten taels of silver to let him go. ”
The servant was embarrassed and said, "Master." The young man didn't look like a slick man who came to fight the autumn breeze, and he said that the stakes were very high, and he would definitely meet the master. ”
When it came to "the stakes are very high", Master Chen didn't dare to be careless: "Could it be that this person was sent by which official?" And invite him to the front hall to serve tea, and the old man will come later. ”
What a handsome offspring! When Master Chen saw Yang Meng for the first time, he couldn't help but praise it in his heart.
I saw that the young man bowed his hand without being humble or arrogant: "In Xia Yang Meng, I have seen Master Chen." ”
Master Chen asked himself if there was no need to be too humble in front of a young official, and asked straight to the point: "Is Brother Yang right?" No need to be polite. You may be seated! The little brother is in the Yamen of the Governor of Customs? Coming to the humble house today, I don't know what to teach? ”
Yang Meng said with a smile: "I am currently serving as a scribe in the Commercial Investigation Department of the Yamen of the Governor of Customs. Because I didn't want to stay in Jinling for too long, I took the liberty to visit today. There is really one thing to ask for cheekiness, and I hope that Master Chen will be fulfilled. ”
Master Chen tried hard to digest Yang Meng's words. Confused, he said: "Please forgive the old man for saying bluntly, the Chen family has never had any contact with your office, and I don't know my little brother." If you ask for each other and don't dare to do it, how can you talk about it? Listen to the meaning of the little brother, is it that he will be transferred to another place soon? If the matter involves an old man, you may be able to do your best. Please, little brother, let's talk about it first. ”
Those who can become rich are shrewd people. Master Chen's rhetoric can be described as polite and courteous, and the other party's intention is unknown, because he did not completely seal the door.
Yang Menghan said with a smile: "This matter is not difficult, as long as Master Chen agrees, it will definitely be fulfilled." When I was serving as a customs inspector last month, I was fortunate to meet Miss Chen, and later had several dealings with Miss Chen because of the inspection of the goods of your business. I think Miss Chen is quite eye-catching, and she is capable and has a good temperament. As far as I know, Miss Chen has not yet been married, so she dared to visit her and ask Mr. Chen for permission to associate with Miss Chen in the next day. ”
Master Chen was stunned and asked, "You mean...... Are you saying you're here to ask for a kiss today?! ”
Yang Meng shook his head and denied: "Definitely! Master Chen didn't need to be so surprised. There is a way to be a fair lady, a gentleman. My father had taught that if I don't see or see each other for life, it is like gambling, and it is extremely irresponsible for both men and women. You should start with each other and go on dates often to get to know each other better. ”
Master Chen was suddenly shocked and angry, almost crazy. Trying his best to maintain the last shred of reason, he gritted his teeth and asked: "Marriage has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Didn't your father teach you? If you can't get along, what will you do? If the old man doesn't allow it, what can you do? ”
Yang Meng's face did not change: "Meet first, then date, if the two are happy, then ask the media to ask for marriage." In the next thought, the teachings of the father are dealt with. If the relationship fails, it is natural that both parties can find another good match. If Master Chen doesn't allow it, he has to find another way. ”
"You?!" Old Man Chen was furious and said, "You...... You bastard! What do you think of my daughter? You're just a petty official, do you think you've threatened the old man? …… Get lost! Get out! (To be continued.) )
