Now that the crown prince has fallen, the once-prominent descendants of the Li family have lost power. Although the Huang Guo family knew that the emperor intended to take the opportunity to suppress the old Haoqiang clan forces in Jincheng and Guanzhong, in this extraordinary period when the direction of the court situation was unclear and very sensitive, in addition to coming to pay a visit to Yang Zhi, a favored minister with a special status, they really couldn't find a second way to be trusted.

In Yang Zhi's eyes, the Huang Guo family is just the big ones sent to the door, and they are the two pieces of fat that have been placed on the chopping board. As for when to slaughter, how much to cut, and how to cut, he hasn't had the time to think about it.

The Xianyang Huang family and the Jincheng Guo family can be described as wealthy and powerful, so what? The emperor's light and clever decree made the two chaebols frightened and terrified. is as scheming as Qin Gong, and secretly hollowed out the entire Qin clan just to protect himself.

These cold realities touched Yang Zhi greatly: it is absolutely not enough to just gather the wealth of the rich and rival countries, and we must do our best to manage the one-third of an acre of land far away in the sea off Penglai, and firmly grasp the powerful fleet that is beginning to take shape! Even if one day in the future you have to openly turn against the emperor, you will not hesitate!

Ning Wang Zhao Dang and Kang Wang Zhao Dang were about to return to Beijing, and they took 10,000 steps back and said that Wei Feiyang really wanted to make waves, and there was no justified reason, so they asked him to go to work and return to Beijing to accompany his father to house arrest, sooner or later, it would only be a matter of ten days and half a month.

As long as the overall situation is certain, which son does the emperor want to choose as his successor, and it is my business? You can take your time. Lao Tzu still has so many things to do, it's time to let me out of Beijing, right? As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark. Entering the palace tomorrow, Emperor Lao'er, whatever you say, as long as you stay up until Wei Feiyang returns to Beijing to see him, then I will not be accompanied!

Yang Zhi's words choked Huang Jide and Guo Kai so much that they had nothing to say, but fortunately, they were not pushed and blocked by the tone, and they were straightforward and explicit enough. The two knew that it was useless to talk too much, so they exchanged glances tacitly, bowed to Yang Zhiyang's back, and whispered to the servants to move the two large boxes out of the Hou Mansion.

Yang Zhi left the two of them without face, and turned to leave. A wry smile inadvertently flashed across his face: I ran into two more people who pretended to be confused.

Huang and Guo, the two veteran warrior clans and powerful chaebols, have been based in Xianyang and Jincheng for a long time, and they have survived decades in the troubled times without falling, is it a fluke? The experience and scheming of the two families dealing with the emperor may not be much inferior to that of the old fox of Duke Qin. The two people who came to the door today are not weak corners at first glance. How could they not think of the truth in their own words? Stupidly carrying two boxes of gold and openly bribing him Yang Zhi, it was intended to be shown to the emperor. It is intended to show that the two families intend to spend money to buy their lives, and they are willing to be blackmailed by the emperor, and there is no dissent! More importantly, on this ground, he stayed in Chang'an and watched the wind. Waiting for an opportunity to find a new spokesperson to replace the crown prince to ensure the longevity of the two families.

For a long time, the emperor and the next generation of new monarchs have not been able to completely shake off their dependence on the powerful forces of the old warrior clans in Jincheng and Guanzhong, and it is certain that they will be weakened and suppressed, but it is impossible to uproot them and exterminate them all. As the saying goes, Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer. Therefore, the two wronged bamboo poles sent to the door must be very good, what do you want to do? What does the rest have to do with me?

Now the case of the prince's group usurpation has finally been revealed. The possibility of Wei Feiyang brazenly raising troops to rebel is also very small. The emperor once again took over the power, and the Great Xia was still under his iron-fisted rule, and the situation in the court would only become more stable in the next few years. Although Yang Zhi and the emperor had different thoughts, they had one need in common: time. After a month, they have been in Chang'an for a month, so they should be busy.

Since returning to Beijing from Penglai a few years ago, Yang Zhi has felt relieved and relieved in addition to the disgust and tiredness from the bottom of his heart.

Because the emperor dictated that he would enter the palace at the beginning of the afternoon the next day, Yang Zhi got up early the next day, and in the morning he accompanied the two pot-bellied wives to talk about homely words for a long time, and personally cooked a table of flowery pregnant women's meals.

Yang Zhi's actions are only occasional and he thinks they are normal. In this era when men are inferior to women and gentlemen are far away from cooking, not only did they bluff Shen Yu and Zhao Yan's vanity to be greatly satisfied, but also attracted women from all over the mansion to praise them secretly: If you marry, you have to marry a peerless man like Hou Ye!

Ah Fu, the chief servant of the Yang Mansion, secretly saw Zhu Ling'er's extremely envious and intoxicated expression, and couldn't help but be annoyed: Didn't you just cook a table of dishes for the two young ladies? How many men like the young master can there be in this world? If all the men in the world are like the young master. What kind of world is that?

Ah Fu secretly thought to himself, the young master burned out his brain since he was a child and suffered from madness, and he didn't want to accidentally fall into the pool in the backyard of Xinyang's old house and drown half to death, but he was miraculously healed. It seems that since then, the young master has been in business, fighting, killing, and composing poetry...... And cooking, there's nothing he won't do.

Ah Fu has been entangled in his heart for a long time: If I Ah Fu also concocted the same method. Can you become a god overnight like a young master? But if the time, place, and timing are slightly different, it will be crazy for a lifetime, and at worst, it will be a small life. Come to think of it, the risk factor is too big after all. Thanks to the blessing of the young master, now that the little life is really good, let's be content with fate!

In early spring and February, it is still a cold spring, but it has been sunny for several days. Yang Zhi was in a very good mood, bathing in the warm afternoon sunshine, and felt very comfortable with warmth all over his body. After accompanying the two ladies to lunch, he stretched out comfortably, and then told Ah Fu to bring the horse over and prepare to go out. Seeing Ah Fu's unyielding and confused look, he couldn't help but pat him on the back of the head and said with a smile: "Are you kid dreaming of spring?" Wait, in a few days I will choose a mother in the house to marry you!" ”

When Yang Zhi arrived outside the palace gate, it was the end of noon.

Nowadays, although most of the guards in the inner court have been replaced, the guards are tighter, and the guards on duty are more neat. For many guards, Yang Zhi can be said to be unknown to everyone, but they all do not squint, still standing tall like a javelin, and no one greets him. From this subtleties, it can be seen that Yan Fang, a young newly promoted general of the Inner Court, is indeed extraordinary. On the occasion of this eventful autumn, Yang Zhi didn't want to fall into the handle of "pampering and arrogance", so he bolted the horse slowly, and asked the guards on duty to go to the palace according to the rules, waiting for the emperor to summon him.

Before the tea time, I saw Ma Cheng and the others coming out with a smile on his face: "Master Hou, the emperor has been waiting for you for lunch for a long time!" ”

Yang Zhi habitually smiled lazily and playfully: The emperor summoned his courtiers and sent his personal attendants to greet him, which was enough to save face.

As usual, he gave Ma Cheng a "tea money" of two hundred taels of silver tickets: "Old Ma, I'm bothering you again." ”

After Yang Zhi followed Ma Cheng into the palace, he couldn't walk for a moment and found that it was neither leading to the imperial study, nor to the emperor's bedroom, let alone the main palace hall, but going around to the back door of the imperial garden, and obviously not going to the imperial garden. I couldn't help but stop and frown and asked, "Old Ma, didn't you say the day before yesterday that after the emperor returned to the palace, his daily life was in the imperial study?" Where are you taking me? ”

Ma Cheng coughed a few times, a pair of mung bean eyes wandered around, and replied without saying anything: "Master Hou, the Sprinkle family is just following the order to guide the way, and you will know when the time comes." Master Hou, please come here. ”

God mysterious! Could it be that the emperor has arranged a play to sing today? Do you still want to do anything with me? Yang Zhi was not embarrassed by Ma Cheng, smiled wryly and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go." ”

It is said that as soon as you enter the palace gate, you will be as deep as the sea, and you will follow Ma Cheng to walk around for a meal, the more you walk, the narrower the road becomes, the deeper the environment becomes, the mountains and rocks on both sides of the path are more and more complex, the trees are more and more dense, and the guards on duty are becoming more and more scarce, and Yang Zhi is also more and more secretly self-conscious.

Walking to a quiet corner, Ma Cheng stopped and lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The Sprinkle family can only lead the Hou Ye to this place." Lord Hou, since the founding of Great Xia, the first emperor and the emperor have summoned ministers here, and you are the fourth. Please forgive me for talking too much, I hope that the Hou Ye is calm today, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds! Remember! Remember! ”

Could it be that the emperor really wants to play some kind of moth today? As Ma Cheng, it is really rare to be reminded like this.

Yang Zhi's heart sank suddenly, pulled Ma Cheng's thin dry hand as cold as a chicken claw, shook it, and whispered as usual: "It's provincial." Thank you! It will be rewarded in the future. ”

Ma Cheng looked at Yang Zhi's tall figure like a leisurely stroll, sighed, and sighed to himself: "There are many people in the Sprinkle family!" I hope so. (To be continued.) )
