The many performances of Xu Wenhan, Qin Kongyun, Yang Zhi and others before and after the prince's rebellion made the emperor clearly see their strength that no force on any side dared to underestimate. Coupled with a Wei Feiyang who dared to secretly argue with himself, how could the emperor not be heartwarmed? How can you sleep? But what can you do with them?

The emperor is not a saint, and Yang Zhi is certainly not either.

People are not afraid of being used, but they are afraid that they will be used by others, and they have no value. The emperor did not need to use Yang Zhi for everything, and Yang Zhi did not have any decisive influence on the emperor's throne. Not having is not the same as not being able to, not being now, not being able to mean that there will be no in the future.

In this era of supreme imperial power, even the emperor's fart is a holy decree that cannot be violated. Xu Wenhan is thoughtful and familiar with the court, how could he casually "forget" the message?

Because the emperor is not confused, Xu Wenhan also sees it very thoroughly: as long as the emperor's bitter plan to kill people without seeing blood in Weisu is released, for Yang Zhi's current situation, whether or not to meet the emperor is of little significance.

For the emperor it was different. Ning Wang Zhao Dang and Kang Wang Zhao Dang are about to return to Beijing in the near future, and it is time for the ministers to rack their brains and figure out whose team they should stand on. summoned Yang Zhi, on the one hand, for the two precious sons who wanted to get into the wrong, and also for the ministers. Now this Great Xia is my Great Xia, whoever dares to fight any crooked ideas, then they must first weigh the weight of this powerful monster around me. On the other hand, you can also take the opportunity to knock Yang Zhi and warn him not to be pampered and arrogant and get carried away. Although this summons was destined to have no substance, it was necessary for the emperor.

The emperor was obviously very unhappy in his heart, and Yang Zhi was also a little depressed, and said disdainfully to break the mystery: "What's so good to see?" The emperor just wanted to remind me and let me know what my surname was. Who is Lao Tzu? Do turnips still use to water? ”

Qin Kongyun was afraid that Yang Zhi would have extraneous branches due to his bad mood, so he smiled and persuaded: "There is no harm in going to the palace for a while, I want to see the emperor and I can't see it easily!" Third brother, now that the princess's belly is so big, you should go to say hello to the emperor's father-in-law and Concubine Mei on behalf of the princess! ”

Xu Wenhan did not have a relaxed look between his eyebrows: "What the second brother said is good, it will not hurt anyone for the emperor to summon the third brother tomorrow." What's the harm in taking a trip? There is only one section, and the two virtuous brothers still need to remember: Feiyang has not returned to Beijing for a day, and we must not be careless for a day. Second brother, be sure to instruct the Qin clan not to slack off in Jinling's manpower. Pay close attention to the movements of Feiyang, and still report to Chang'an every day! ”

"When the third brother meets the emperor tomorrow, it is best not to mention the word Feiyang. Even if the emperor takes the initiative to ask, you have to push it clean in words. Also, you and the princess are already in the same boat. Then it will be a long time, and Concubine Mei will not go to the palace for the time being. ”

Qin Kongyun sneered: "Naturally, I won't relax over there in Jinling. …… The third brother met Concubine Mei by the way, but it was just human nature, and the eldest brother was too careful, right? Besides, the third brother ate outside the palace gate for half a day today, if the emperor asks him why he asked to see him tomorrow, wouldn't he be speechless? ”

"The important thing is not to say something to the emperor, but whether to go or not." Yang Zhi said coldly: "I understand what the eldest brother means, and I agree." - Second brother, you must know that King Yue has not yet reached the age of building a mansion and opening a government, and he still lives in the same palace as Concubine Mei. At this time, I went to see Concubine Mei. It's like asking to see that little bastard. Don't look at that kid's young age, in fact, his heart is three points better than a ghost. At this moment, even if I wanted to see him, maybe he wouldn't be happy! Don't forget, although the crown prince has fallen, King Yue, like King Ning and King Kang, is the son of the emperor! I really don't care if I go to see Concubine Mei or not, but it will definitely make many people feel upset. That being the case, more is better than less. Everyone is worry-free! ”

After the three of them finished discussing, it was already dusk and twilight, and it was almost time for dinner. Yang Zhi still went out early in the morning, and Xu Wenhan was also busy. The two ignored Qin Kongyun's insistence on retaining them, and dispersed.

On the way back to his home, Yang Zhi unconsciously pulled out his horse and detoured slowly in the direction of Weifu. As soon as I walked to the corner of the street, I saw four heavily armed guards of the inner court with javelin-like pestles outside the gate of the General's Mansion from a distance. It is conceivable that the entire Wei Mansion has been stared at inside and outside, and I am afraid that even a fly will not be able to fly out. No matter how magnificent the Wei Mansion is. Isn't a five-star prison a prison? Poor General Wei! His heart is dead, and his body is still in captivity.

An indescribable tiredness welled up in his heart, and after looking at it from afar, he turned his horse's head and went straight back to the house, and it was already the time for the palm lamp to be dark.

In a corner of the Hou Mansion, two carriages and thick velvet sedan chairs were parked, and five or six men dressed in servant clothes were huddled together, rubbing their hands and stomping their feet to keep warm, while whispering something.

As long as the silver in your pocket is hard and too much to spend, if you want to enjoy the "honor" of playing birds, fighting cards, gambling money, and eating and drinking at the same table with Mrs. Yang in the Flying Tiger Marquis Mansion, the old man has always been a three-class person who does not refuse. At a cursory glance, there is nothing unusual about the carriage and horses in front of the door, and Yang Zhi doesn't care about it.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Zhi couldn't help but be suspicious. Because Ah Fu walked forward with a smile on his face, he had obviously been waiting for a long time. The so-called big eyes eat big mouths, now Ah Fu has seen more princes and generals, if he has enough benefits to make his heart tremble, how can he work so hard?

"Young Master, you're back! You've worked hard, you've worked hard! Oh, don't you know, there are two distinguished guests who have been waiting for you at the house for a long time....... ”

"Less nonsense! Who are the people here? ”

“…… The villain didn't recognize it either, and had never seen it before. only said that one surnamed Huang and the other surnamed Guo, they have come to see each other since the first moment of Shen in the afternoon, and they have been waiting until now. It's really hard for those two gentlemen...... ”

As soon as Yang Zhi heard that his surname was Huang and Guo, he immediately realized what was going on. angrily scolded: "Shut the fuck up for me!" Death to the side! ”

When he entered the door, he looked up and saw that his father's virtue was not much better than Ah Fu. The front hall was lit with candles, and the old man Yang Yan rarely received visitors in the front hall in a serious manner, but at this moment, he sat in the hall with a red face, chatting and laughing with two strange visitors. On the floor of the front hall, there are two eye-catching large black lacquer boxes. Judging from the old man's high reception specifications, what else could it be besides two boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry?

After Yang Yan moved to Chang'an with his son's family, he had seen more of the world, and he loved his son in his heart. Seeing Yang Zhi enter the door, he hurriedly greeted: "Zhi'er, this Mr. Huang and Guo Gongzi have been waiting for you in the mansion for a long time!" It's good that you're back. It's good to be back! You talk, you talk slowly! Mr. Huang, Guo Gongzi, the old man is missing! ”

Although Yang Yan is greedy for money. The mind is still alive. The son went out early in the morning and did not return until this time, and his face was not happy. Not to mention greeting the two visitors, I didn't even look at them, knowing that this windfall was not so easy to take. So it's okay to grease the soles of your feet.

Among the two strange visitors were a middle-aged man in his early 40s with a long beard in a white leather robe, and a young man with a bronzed face in a dark robe. Qi Qi got up and bowed to Yang Yan: "I'm really ashamed to disturb Old Lady Yang!" Thank you for your kindness! ”

Only then did he clasp his fists to Yang Zhi and salute: "The villain Huang Jide is the younger brother of Huang Jixian, a prisoner of Xianyang." The villain Guo Kai, the prisoner of Jincheng Guo Peinai is the father. The villain has seen Master Hou! Take the liberty to come to the door and ask for forgiveness! ”

Yang Zhi glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but praise secretly. The two were not in a hurry, neither humble nor arrogant, and between the words, they not only introduced their identities, but also pointed out why they came from. The two of them are ordinary, ordinary in appearance, but extremely clean and capable. There is no nouveau riche style. It has the style of an elite child of a large family.

Yang Zhi didn't say anything false and polite to greet them to sit down, and only nodded slightly in return. opened a black lacquer box at random, and the entire front hall of the Hou Mansion was full of light: it was actually a box full of gold bars, and two large boxes of gold should be no less than 10,000 taels! It is no wonder that Xianyang and Jincheng are known as chaebols comparable to the Qin family!

"Master Hou, some vulgar things are just a small gift for my two families, which is unbearable to the eye, which makes Master Hou smile ......."

Door-to-door gifts? Yang Zhi couldn't help sneering again and again: You want to use gold to smash me, right? If a few tens of thousands of taels of gold can settle your, is the emperor still the emperor? Is Lao Tzu still Yang Zhi? Carrying two large boxes of gold to swagger through the market, who do you want to show it? …… Can't you use your brains a little more and you won't fucking turn them into silver tickets?

A blank wave of his hand. intercepted the words of the two and made it clear: "Why did the two deign to visit, everyone knows it, and there is no need to say more." With all due respect, you really think so highly of me Yang. Although I was wrongly loved by the emperor. But he has no office or power, and has never participated in politics or interfered in politics. Now that the case of the crown prince has not yet been concluded, even though I am willing to be entrusted by the two of you, I will intercede for you and Huang Guo in front of the emperor. I also had to touch the head on my neck first to see if it was still solid. I can only appreciate your generous gifts, and I dare not accept them. It's not that Yang is arrogant, I dare to say that looking at the entire Chang'an City right now, no one will have the guts to accept half of your copper plate! ”

Yang Zhi didn't mean to bluff them, it sounded like the whole story was true. The two looked at each other, and their previously hopeful gazes suddenly dimmed.

There is also the art of ripping bamboo, and it also depends on the timing. Two rich and unjust bosses were sent to the door, how could they be easily let go?

Yang Zhi smiled secretly in his heart, and changed his words: "Today's emperor is lenient and sage, and the grievances are the most clear. Your Huang Guo family lives in Xianyang and Jincheng, and they have made great contributions to Daxia over the years. Think about it, there are usually no eggs under the nest, and the matter involves rebellion, why did the emperor only order the arrest of Huang Jixian and Guo Pei? Hundreds of people from your two families can be safe and sound? In order to avoid causing trouble, you should live patiently in Chang'an for a while, it is best not to move around, and wait for the emperor's will to deal with the crown prince with peace of mind. ”

"You two can rest assured, helping your two families get out of trouble is beneficial and disadvantageous to Yang. As long as the timing is right, I will do my best in front of the emperor. ”

Pressing people into the water until they almost suffocated to death, and then raised their heads to let him catch his breath, this kind of trick to capture and indulge is Yang Zhi's forte. It is expected that the two of them will be able to see through it, and they can only call in vain. To be a bitch and to set up a torii? Behind your back, you can scold as much as you like! As long as you are not afraid of being heard.

Huang Guo and the two immediately glanced at each other when they heard this, bowed together and said, "Master Hou is quick to talk, and the villain is taught!" The Huang and Guo families will definitely be grateful for Hou Ye's deep kindness like mountains and seas! Everything depends on Hou Ye! ”

Yang Zhi kicked two mouthfuls of black lacquer boxes: "Since the words have been explained, those two don't want to harm me, these two boxes of things must be hard for you to move back." ”

frowned again, and nodded a few words to the two of them: "This thing can't be eaten by hunger, can't be clothed by cold, somehow so many people like it?" It's stupid! It's so heavy to survive, why don't you have to worry about moving around? Even if you want to spend it, it's a hassle. Which bank can redeem this amount of cash? ”

These words are almost just a naked declaration that "only cash tickets are collected, not gold and jewelry".

Before Huang Guo and the others had time to scold him for being shameless, Yang Zhi went to the inner hall without looking back: "Send off guests!" (To be continued.) )
