The extremely familiar pit people and complaining are the "heirlooms" of the old Yang family. As Wei Zhigao said, once this matter spreads, he is bound to become a joke that everyone will watch, and the emperor and the queen mother will lose face.

The emperor's "Shengming" is recognized by the whole world, and Wei Zhigao and Chang'an Mansion Yin are not stupid, and they already believe that the young man is Yang Xiao, the second young master of the Yang family. Xinyang and Chang'an are thousands of miles apart, no matter how you look at it, that young man doesn't look like a madman, can he pretend to be the second young master of the Yang family to send him to death? It's not that there is no way to deal with it, and it is to die and not recognize his identity. But God knows which one the kid will sing next? What would the emperor think?

What is puzzling is that it is not difficult for Yang Xiao to enter the palace to meet the emperor and the queen mother. There are many important ministers and nobles who have a close friendship with his son Yang Zhi in Chang'an, and they can find anyone to give the emperor a message, why do they have to toss so much?

As long as there is no water in Yin's mind in Chang'an Mansion, he will definitely not accept Yang Xiao's complaint. Neither will accept his complaint, and of course he doesn't dare to do anything with him, but it does not prevent him from immediately blocking the news, putting him under house arrest, and waiting for him to stabilize for the time being like an uncle.

Although the emperor is Yang Xiao's serious uncle, his interest in him is far more than just because of this. Zhao Qi clearly remembered that Yang Xiao was born on the ninth day of June in the twenty-sixth year of Wucheng in the Xia calendar, that is to say, he is about to turn eighteen.

At that time, Yang was committed to helping the Qin clan resist the three hundred dead soldiers sent by King Ning to rob and kill gold, fighting Geng Chao during the selection of generals of the forbidden army, fighting in the desert in blood, going to the Turkic court to assassinate the Tuodu Khan, and counterattacking to drive An Guihou crazy, which was almost at Yang Xiao's current age.

As the saying goes, Lao Tzu is a hero, I don't know if it's true? The cunning mind has already had the demeanor of his old man. I don't know what the rest of the ability is? Time flies, and it has been eleven years since the Yang family moved back to Xinyang. has been at peace with the emperor, Yang Xiao suddenly came to Chang'an. Was he sent by his father? And what? These are what Zhao Qi really cares about.

Yang Xiao is tall and strong, with handsome eyebrows, and his figure is somewhat similar to Yang Zhiyi. The lazy smile on his face that is harmless to humans and animals is quite fatherly.

As soon as he saw Zhao Qi, he knelt down and kowtowed, and said nondescriptly: "Nephew Yang Xiao, knock to see the emperor's uncle!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”

The emperor's uncle reminded Zhao Qi of the warm time when he was not canonized as the crown prince, and often went in and out of the Yang Mansion to tease Yang Meng and Yang Xiao. smiled disapprerovingly: "Xiao'er is here?" Get up and speak, and let me take a good look at you. - Throne! Give tea! ”

After Yang Xiao sat down. Not at all like many courtiers trembling in front of the emperor, and there seemed to be no concept of disrespect, staring at Zhao Qi for a moment, and said with a smile: "After the emperor's uncle grew a beard, he looked ...... than at that time It seems to be even more wise and martial! ”

Zhao Qi feigned anger and said: "I am only seven years younger than your father, and I have already passed the age of standing, why not grow a beard?" You child, you don't even have the slightest sincerity in your uncle's sycophancy! If you want to enter the palace to visit me and the Queen Mother, you can ask someone to talk. Am I still refusing to do it? General Wei and your father also have old friends, why did you dig a pit to harm him? I almost didn't get sick out of you! ”

Yang Xiao spread his hands and said, "But I didn't wronged them, did I?" The emperor is my uncle, the queen mother is my grandmother, and the jade pendant is indeed broken. What did I say wrong? Why can't you sue him? ”

"Tell the truth! You tricks. It's all leftovers from my childhood! ”

“…… To put it simply, in addition to my father's fate, I also want to spend some money. ”

Is it difficult to disobey the father's order? Zhao Qideng was in his heart: "Could it be that your father taught you to do this?" Fraudulently? Joke! Is your family short of money? Be careful with me! ”

Yang Xiao said aggrievedly: "Father confessed." When we reach the age of sixteen, we can choose according to our preferences. He will do whatever he wants, and he will never interfere. But he ordered us to do what we were supposed to do. Do not deceive under his banner. ”

"I figured out this method to go to the palace to visit my uncle and grandmother, can I rely on my own ability? There's no swindling, right? My family is not short of money, but I am short of money! Your Majesty, you don't know yet, do you? When my father came home from work, we had to earn our pocket money on our own. From washing dishes, sweeping the floor, making beds, folding quilts, washing clothes, learning to cook, to reading, practicing martial arts, and so on, everything is considered in silver. Well done, there is a prize. If you don't do it well, you will deduct money. ”

"I'm a bit lazy,...... Actually, it's not too lazy. It's been almost four months since I left home, and the little money I brought with me has almost been spent. If I don't make up my mind, how will you let me live in Chang'an in the future? I bought that jade pendant for four taels of silver in Dongshi, and I plan to pay at least twenty or thirty thousand taels on General Nawei! If you don't want to, you will expose it to the emperor's uncle. ”

Zhao Qi couldn't help but be angry and funny: "You went to the palace gate to report your home, and then went to the Chang'an Mansion to beat the drum to complain, isn't it a sign of your house to swagger and deceive?" If it weren't for that, do you think the Inner Court Guards Mansion and the Chang'an Mansion would really not dare to touch you? ”

As the so-called safety comes first, fools don't report their homes! Yang Xiao said unconvinced: "How can this be regarded as a swindler? What do you mean by my signboard? My father never said, let's go incognito? As the saying goes, there is reason to go all over the world, and the Inner Court Guard Mansion and the Chang'an Mansion must always be unreasonable, right? Why did they move me? ”

Zhao Qi couldn't help but be speechless for a while. When I met such a master, whether I was pretending to be crazy or stupid, I was a little drunk. Yang Xiao's words seem to have nothing to hide and be honest, but they can't be fully believed, and they haven't touched on the issues that Zhao Qi really wants to understand.

Zhao Qi carefully recalled that Yang Zhi's family had always had a rough idea of what they were doing. Diverting the subject, he asked further, "What is your father busy with now?" How are my mother and my aunts good? Listen to what you mean, when your brothers and sisters reach the age of adulthood, your father will no longer care, where are Meng'er, Yang Ling, Yang Long, and Yang Zhan? ”

Yang Xiao replied hesitantly: "Father, mother, and several aunts must be together, and I don't know what they are busy with." The eldest brother should have gone to Jinling. Did my sister go to Yizhou? The third brother seems to have donated a county in Lingnan where birds don't? The fourth brother is still young, of course, he stayed with his father. ”

Zhao Qi couldn't help but feel a little big. frowned and said, "I don't know? Should? It seems like? Are you talking to me? Do you know what the crime of deception is? ”

Yang Xiao said with a bitter face: "Where do I dare to lie to you!" As I said, I've been away from home for more than three months. I'm not an immortal who can pinch and calculate! ”

"Then you tell me, where have you been for more than three months?"

"Come to Chang'an!"

Zhao Qi almost choked on the tea in his mouth: "You walked from Xinyang to Chang'an for more than three months?!" Could it be that you crawled here? ”

"Yes! What's so strange about that? Anyway, I don't have anything important to do when I get to Chang'an, why should I be stupid and hurry? When you are tired, you will rest, if you are hungry, you will eat, if you think it is fun, you will live for a few days, if you are tired of riding, you will hire a car, and if you are tired of sitting in a car, you will hire a sedan chair. ”

In the words of his previous life, this is an uncle who has money and leisure, and travels on his own way! Zhao Qi has been paying attention to Yang Xiao's face, and it can basically be determined so far. This baby nephew is out of tune, not like he is pretending.

"Are you saying that you come to Chang'an, Meng'er goes to Jinling, Yang Ling goes to Yizhou, and Yang Long goes to Lingnan to be a county leader, all of which are your own wishes? Not your father's arrangement? Didn't send you any guards? Is your mother and aunts really so relieved of you? ”

Yang Xiao smiled: "Look at what you said! Is this still fake? My father said that the emperor's uncle is a good emperor with great talents, and now that the country of Great Xia is strong and the world is peaceful, our parents will not be able to protect us for a lifetime, so what is not to worry about? What's more, my father taught us some self-defense martial arts since we were young. It's just that my eldest brother and younger siblings are better learners than me. ”

"The eldest brother likes to fight, like to cross the ocean to grab money or do business, so he went to Jinling last year, saying that he wanted to be recruited to be a servant in the Yamen, the governor of customs. Ling'er was the most annoying, and the third aunt asked her to be a lady. I always like to wander around the world when I have nothing to do. Long'er thought that the county magistrate of Xinyang had done it too easily, so he chose a broken place where Han and barbarians lived together in Lingnan, and he didn't save so much silver for the big officials and fat shortages. Can't afford to donate. Zhan'er is not yet ten years old, and he is the most unreliable in our family. Obsessed with martial arts, he yells all day long to be the most powerful killer. ”

Zhao Qi recalled the fierce style of Yang Yan, the old man of the Yang family, when he was alive. The bits and pieces he got along with Yang Zhi when he was a child, and it is not surprising that Yang's family style is so exciting.

Teasingly asked, "What about you?" What do you like to do? Why come to Chang'an? ”

Yang Xiao said without concealment: "I like too many things!" I like to be lively, I like to gamble, in fact, I like to eat, drink and have fun. But playing around all day is neither like words, nor is it majestic enough, so I came to Chang'an just to find the emperor's uncle and the queen mother's grandmother to get me an official. In my father's words, I call it job hunting. ”

Zhao Qideng couldn't cry or laugh: "Your father is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and your mother is a beautiful and wise man, how did she teach you such a thing?" Originally, you had a knighthood as soon as you were born, but your father insisted on not wanting it. It's good now, you kid is a flat-headed commoner with no official and no title, and you will ask me for an official with one mouth! Do you think that the officials of Great Xia are things in the grocery stores on the street? Don't just throw it away, just want it? ”

Yang Xiao hurriedly distinguished: "Father is father, I am me." Uncle Emperor, I'm your nephew, I can't just watch me live in Chang'an by kidnapping, right? ”

"Cheating? Little bastard, you dare?! …… Official titles are important weapons of the country, and they should not be granted lightly. Didn't your father say that you should do your own thing? In a few days, I will personally say hello to Zuo Xiaowei's general Yan Fang, and go to the army to be a captain for the time being. ”

"You quit first! went to stay with the Queen Mother, so that she could talk to her old man. I will go to lunch with the Queen Mother later. ”

Yang Xiao was anxious when he heard this: "Don't! Is that a human job? Uncle Emperor, in fact, my requirements are really not high, as long as you give me a little more money and a more relaxed official! ”

Zhao Qi's face turned green: "Get out!" Give me how far and how far to roll! ”

Yang Xiao walked out of the imperial study, and a subtle smile flashed in his eyes: Dad is right, be a good child, but the emperor will stare at you to death and raise you like a pig. Hippie smiling scoundrel, although the emperor will still stare at you, he will never do anything to you! (To be continued.) )
