PS: The second more is to ask for tickets and collections.

"My sister is waiting for me, my brother has something to say in his heart. Why ...... the shame answered. Yang Zhi hummed a little song nonchalantly all the way, and was escorted back to the house by four Ouchi guards. Although the clothes are not neat, the claws on the face are like the marks, but it is obviously in a good mood.

During this period of time, the Inner Court Janissary Mansion temporarily dispatched personnel to guard the Chungmu Mansion and the Anguihou Mansion. Although the old man's true colors of a profiteer and a rich man have not changed, he is far more lovely than those princes and uncles who are sanctimonious and well-behaved. Yang Zhi usually has a very easy-going temperament and never embarrasses his subordinates and guards. The feeling of going to Yangfu on duty is like that of ordinary people, with a strong human touch, which is regarded as a relaxed and affordable fat difference.

Yang Zhi fought with An Guihou like a child, and the four guards couldn't help but feel funny when they saw that he was still so happy. One of the guards smiled flatteringly: "Grandpa, the song you hum is really good!" ”

"Really?" Yang Zhi said with a smile: "Brothers, it's rare to have leisure when they are on an errand in the big house, why don't you have a few drinks in my house and then go back to the palace to restore your life?" ”

Ordinary guards don't often have a little "gray income" like eunuchs with duties, and they are looking forward to working hard in Ouchi for a few years and being released to the army to have a future. The reputation of the uncle in front of him is in full swing, and it has been regarded as the golden sign of the entire Great Xia military. It was the honor of a lifetime to be able to drink with such a big man. If you can still get lucky enough to make friends with him, and want to let him out to be a captain or something, it's not a matter of his words?

The four guards were overjoyed, and kowtowed on the road and thanked him: "The villain thanked Grandpa!" ”

Yang Zhi returned to the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted for Ah Fu to bring wine, and rewarded each person with fifty taels of silver. The four of them were so excited that their faces flushed when they drank with Yang Zhi, and after each reported their names and thanked them, they went happily.

Shen Yu then asked for clothes for Yang Zhi to change, Zhang Luo asked his subordinates to fetch water to wash his face, and said angrily: "Didn't you say that you went to the court today?" Where did you go again? How did you make such a mess and be so happy? ”

Yang Zhi didn't care that there were servants and maids present, and he smacked Shen Yu's pretty face, and said with a grin: "Today, the court won a lottery, I'm afraid that my grandfather won't be able to do it for a few days!" ”

"Huh?" Shen Yu thought that he was stimulated by something, but seeing that he didn't look like a "recurrence of an old disease", he blushed and straightened his shirt for him, and persuaded softly: "Xianggong, being that grandfather is like a bodhisattva and makes people offer, but he is tired." If you don't do it, you don't do it, as long as you're okay. ”

Yang Zhi just wanted Shen Yu to stay away from those deceitful disputes, and he didn't bother to explain more to her. Called Ah Fu and explained: "You go to the kitchen to buy more vegetables." If I go and invite Mr. Xu and Mr. Qin Gongzi again, I will personally cook and invite them to drink today! ”

Ah Fu said curiously: "Young Master, it's been a long time since you have cooked by yourself. ”

"I'm happy, my hands are itchy! Oh, and you go and tell the lord that the entrance fee has doubled to 1,000 taels in the past three days. Hehe, there won't be that shop in this village! ”

Xu Wenhan was the only one who was invited, and Qin Kongyun was still nowhere to be seen. Yang Zhi asked at the right time, and Xu Wenhan sighed: "The emperor has asked the Qin family for money again, can he not be busy with the second brother?" ”

The current national strength of Great Xia is obviously inconsistent with the huge army of up to one million people to fight everywhere, and the problem of financial constraints will only exist for a long time.

Yang Zhi smiled bitterly: "In the spring war with the Turks, not only was the raiding army annihilated, but the Shuofang army also suffered tens of thousands of casualties. As soon as I started singing at the Golden Palace today, at least I lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the emperor, but it was also a good thing for the brothers who died in battle. It has been less than a year since 100,000 taels of gold were sent to Chang'an, and even if the Qin family is a cornucopia, it cannot fill the emperor's bottomless pit. ”

Xu Wenhan shook his head and said: "This time the emperor asked for money, not only for mercy on the dead soldiers. Heavy snow in winter, and the extreme heat this summer has made the weather very abnormal compared to previous years. According to my deduction, there may be heavy rains this autumn. Si Tianjian is in charge of his work, and the deduction should be more detailed. It has not been a day or two since the emperor planned to destroy the Tang Dynasty and occupy the rich land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This spring due to the Turkic constraints failed to achieve the wish, this autumn if there is a flood on the Yangtze River, it will be launched unexpectedly. ”

"The eldest brother is saying that the emperor asked the Qin family for money this time, in order to take advantage of the autumn flood to launch a war to destroy the Tang Dynasty? This time, even if you kill me, I won't go. By the way, how did today's emperor end up in the end? ”

Xu Wenhan replied: "In order to study and train the prince, the emperor used such important events that attracted the attention of the government and the opposition to gradually establish his iron-fisted authority, and gave the prince a three-day time limit to deal with it. There are many capable and wise people in the East Palace, and there should be no deviation, and Geng Chao and them will be released from prison within four or five days at most. Today's lawsuit is really exciting! You are so tight that you don't leave the slightest room for pressure, even I broke out a few cold sweats for you. Forcing the emperor to take the initiative to cut his post and demote him is naturally very different from your self-pleading. However, it also responds to what you said before, if you want to earn, you will make a lot of money. ”

"Asking for guilt? Why? When it comes to the crown prince, Yang Zhi naturally thinks of the transaction that entrusted Zhao Qi, the king of Yue, to be the middleman: "After this matter, it depends on whether the prince intends to purchase the immortal residence." What his state of mind is, buy it or not, you can know whether to buy it or not. ”

Xu Wenhan said puzzledly: "Third brother, you and I have been friends for a long time, but the foolish brother has never been able to understand your thoughts. Although you have won a great victory in the court today, you have also committed a great taboo among the people. Depending on your scheming, you should know that you don't have to be so risky. ”

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "My mind is actually not elusive at all. I remember that I told you a long time ago that I wanted to inherit the family business and become a rich man and enjoy life carefree. I used to want to mix it up, but I couldn't get through it. This humiliation of Shen Yu also made me understand that without a certain status and strength, it is impossible to live a peaceful life for a few days in the troubled times. But I don't like to be constrained by nature, so I have to fight for maximum freedom. ”

"I'm a lazy person and a layman. I'm not interested in being an official, and I'm not uncommon for fame and fortune. What the Emperor has in his hands has no appeal to me, but in his eyes it is of great value. I dare to say that the emperor didn't think about it, so he just killed me out of sight. But he may not be able to kill me, and if he provokes me to be his enemy, I am afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around. Second, in fact, I have repeatedly stated that there is no threat to him, so he is reluctant. I spent so much effort this time just to tell him: It is not impossible for me to work hard in the future, but it depends on whether the conditions are suitable or not, and whether I am happy or not. What do you think? Understandable, right? ”

Xu Wenhan suddenly smiled and said, "I see! Asking the emperor to confess is a peace of mind, and forcing the emperor to open his mouth means that he owes you a great favor. The emperor's technique of employing people has no effect on you, and if you want to use you in the future, I am afraid that you will have to take pains to think about the conditions first. As a courtier, the third brother can be called the first person in ancient and modern times! The question is, can the emperor read your mind? ”

"That's why I presented the secret note beforehand. What's more, if I have reached the Golden Temple several times and three times today, he will not fail to hear it. Yang Zhi sneered: "If he still can't understand it at this moment, then what else is the Bird Emperor?" In troubled times, it is the sea and the sky, where can you not go? He's not stupid enough to force me to move, is he? ”

"Third brother, you are not weak in your youth, and you will be long in the future!" Xu Wenhan was silent for a long time, and said expressionlessly: "The emperor is over fifty years old, fat and hardworking, powerful and worried, he must not be a long-lived person." The king of Yue is young and has no ambition to chase the deer, the prince and the other two kings have their own merits, the emperor may not have enough time to pave the way for the prince, and it is not yet known who will die in the future. ”

"I know that. But that's his old Zhao family's business, what does it have to do with me? Yang Zhi saw that he said half and half left, and urged: "If you have anything to say, you should say it directly!" ”

Xu Wenhan said with a cold look in his eyes: "There are some words that I have buried in my heart for a long time. The emperor may have the capacity to tolerate you, and it is difficult to say whether the successor will still treat you like this. Haven't you really thought that if you keep your head in obscurity now, and become a powerful minister like Meng Dezhongda in Daxia in the future, you will have no worries about moving in this life? ”

Ancient ministers such as Cao Cao and Sima Yi can be described as the best: they can be ministers today, and they can be kings tomorrow. The division between the monarch and the minister is just a thought, it depends on when you are happy or not!

At this time, the sky outside the house was dark and cloudy, and the branches and leaves were motionless, Yang Zhi got up and paced to the window and smiled faintly: "It's going to rain." ”
