Yang Zhi is already a high-ranking official and has great power. The glorious title of strong upstart is well deserved. In terms of net worth alone, if there are idlers who are full of food and have nothing to do to make a Great Summer Forbes rich list, Yang Zhi can definitely be among the top ten.

When wealth accumulates to a certain stage, some people look at material enjoyment more and more lightly, and Yang Zhi is one of them. The old father, wife and children who are far away in Chang'an lack nothing, they have everything for food, clothing and flowers, and all they lack is the regret and endless concern that they can't reunite with their families. Yang Zhi simply didn't bother to collect bits and pieces, and the only New Year's gift he brought back to Chang'an was a letter from his family and a few portraits drawn by himself.

In order to facilitate the recognition of the physical characteristics of the target characters and the special task environment, Yang Zhi received intensive training in sketching in his previous life. At that time, it was only practical, and the painting skills were not very clever. Yang Zhi spent half a night's effort, relying on the memory in his mind, and he was happy to paint many times, which can be said to be careless. In the end, the finished product, if you say that you are satisfied, even you feel reluctant.

Despite this, in this era when the painting style is heavy on freehand and pays attention to "unlikeness", Yang Zhi's realistic portraits, which he thinks are somewhat clumsy, are still very shocking and visually impactful. The old man Yang Yan, Shen Yu, Zhao Yan, Zhu Ling'er, and two sons Yang Meng and Yang Xiao have a share in the family. Especially the funny and gratifying face of the old man, and the naïve sleeping caterpillar of the two children like newborn kittens, can be called vivid and vivid. On the day the family letter and portrait were delivered, everyone in the Yang Mansion was overjoyed, and they rushed to see it, but they couldn't get enough of it.

"I can't imagine that the little rabbit cub has such a skill!" The old man Yang Yan's red and chubby face smiled a little sourly: "Ah Fu, pass on my words, and one person in the mansion will be counted as one." 100 taels of silver per person! …… Ford? Ford! You! Didn't the ears fight mosquitoes? What to rob? Can you afford to rob it? ”

The people of the Yang Mansion are the most admired, and there is nothing more admired than Zhu Ling'er. Since being accepted by Yang Zhi as a concubine. Although Yang Zhi has never looked down on her, she has always had low self-esteem. The attitude of many servants and maidservants in the palace is also significantly different from that of Shen Yu and Zhao Yan. The moment I saw my portrait, I almost didn't cry on the spot.

When there was a commotion in the house, he immediately took the portrait to Chang San, and said with tears in his eyes: "Third brother, come and see!" This is what Master Hou painted for me! What the hell...... Damn it, he didn't forget me, he treated me like them! ”

Chang San and Zhu Ling'er are like brothers and sisters, and said with mixed feelings: "Seventh sister, Hou Ye Shenlong is premature." We didn't look at the wrong person! You know what? The eldest lady also voted for the Hou Ye. ”

Compared with the Yang Mansion, the emperor lacked nothing, so Yang Zhi did not prepare any other New Year's gifts. Anyway, you don't have much interest in anything other than silver. Gave you four million taels, what else are you not satisfied with? This is the New Year, as for whether you give my wife and children a little reward, whatever you want!

It is true that Yang Zhi pays great attention to the art of struggle, but he is by no means a broad-minded person. In the prosperous era of Qingping, the principle of major events is stressed. It's all right to talk about style in small things. In troubled times, you can only believe in the law of the jungle: the fittest survive, and the strong are king.

The 10th day of the first month of December is approaching the end of the year. King Ning's Mansion welcomed a special visitor in the midst of heavy snowfall. The doorman reported that the visitor claimed to be respecting the order of the Governor of Customs, Yang Zhijun, and came to give gifts.

What made Zhao Dang very depressed was. Yang Zhi was originally just a friend who had nothing to do with each other, but inexplicably became a sworn enemy. Self-defeating is a fact. Thinking about the benefits, Yang Zhi may also have the intention of repairing. It was a reward of two hundred taels of silver. The suspicious person ordered the gift to be sent to the palace study.

The New Year's gift sent by Yang Zhi is very simple, just a wooden box with rough carving and a square foot. Retreating left and right, opening the package and seeing, Zhao Dang and Ding Shiquan were suddenly shocked: in the wooden box, there was a human head!

The skull has obviously been embalmed with special tasks, and it is a cold winter, after a long-distance transportation from Jinan to Chang'an, it is still a mustache as if it is alive!

Ding Shiquan almost wanted to gag, but he calmly held his breath and covered his nose to look at it carefully, then stepped aside, and said affirmatively: "Lord Wang, this is the head of that Meng Liangcai!" I've met him a few times, so I won't be mistaken. …… In addition to this head, Yang Zhike also has letters? ”

Whenever Ning Wangfu had major affairs or involved a huge amount of money, Ding Shiquan would mostly come forward to deal with it, and Zhao Dang naturally believed that Ding Shiquan would not be mistaken. But so what? Even if you don't know each other, Yang Zhi is still afraid that you won't find out?

"Having this head is enough to explain everything, what more letters do you need?!" Zhao Dang smiled cruelly: "What a Yang Zhi!" Your New Year's gift, this king has accepted it! ”

killed someone, raided the house, still refused to forgive, and gave the dog's head to the master as a New Year's gift. Yang Zhi slapped Zhao Dang hard, knocked out his teeth, and he could only swallow it in his stomach. Do you think Lao Tzu is so easy to mess with?

Ding Shiquan persuaded dejectedly: "Lord Wang, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, so let's think about it in the long run!" The emperor deliberately suppressed the matter, and it should have come to an end at this point. ”

Zhao Dangsenran said: "Not bad. Rest assured, this king has not been dizzy yet. His father sent Yang Zhiyuan to Chang'an, not only to levy tariffs to fill the treasury, but also to prevent him from interfering in the dispute over the storage position. The father is eloquent and strategic, and he dislikes the most weak people. This king's provocation of Yang Zhi this time is by no means without benefit. At least let my father know that this king not only has no collusion with Yang Zhi, but is not afraid of him! Finally let my father see the king's tricks and methods! -- This year's annual rules for civil and military courtiers are still the same, and Yang Zhifu must not be left out, remember to prepare a copy for each of his two little cubs. Go for it! ”

Ding Shiquan heard Zhao Dang say this, and felt a little relieved.

As the saying goes, if you cultivate literature and martial arts, you will have goods and the emperor's family. Ding Shiquan and Li Zuo are actually the same kind, thinking that they are talented and resourceful but depressed, and they take Fengzhi as their motto. Just like Yao Guangxiao, the chief strategist of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, the biggest ambition and the best skill of this kind of person in life is to instigate and help others to rebel. Once successful, do not seek wealth and nobility, only seek fame and go down in history, and then quietly retire.

The turmoil in Jinan was carefully planned by Ding Shiquan, and it was expected that a mountain was still a mountain high, which became a big failure, and he was most worried that Zhao Dang would be angry and discouraged. When you are ruthless, you can be ruthless enough, you can endure when you endure, and you are indomitable. Zhao Dang's words fully met the standards of the so-called male lord in Ding Shiquan's mind. Since the master is not discouraged when he suffers a heavy setback, then continue to do it!

Yang Zhi, who has arrived on Dangji Island, also ushered in a surprise that is not unexpected. The so-called Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and he wants to turn the clouds and rain with Linglong, but he can't: the seeds sown last time have already sprouted! (To be continued......)
