People all over the world know that Yang Zhi and Xu Wenhan, Qin Kongyun, and Wei Feiyang are brothers with different surnames who married Jin Lan, and he and Xu Wenhan naturally don't have any scruples about their interactions with Qin Kongyun. These days are like the beginning of Yang Zhi's move to Chang'an, as long as Xu Wenhan has official business in the court every day, he will come to Yang's mansion with Qin Kongyun. Yang Zhi usually doesn't go out of the inner courtyard for half a step in the morning, changing the way to make the two ladies happy, and in the afternoon, he drinks with Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun brothers around the fireplace.

In this strange and grand chess game, Yang Zhi deliberately ignored an important person who should never be ignored: Qin Gong, who could not be sick.

Qin Gong has always lived in a simple house and rarely shows up, Yang Zhi and Xu Wenhan are not surprised, and Qin Kongyun usually never takes the initiative to mention his father. According to the old fox, Yang Zhi was the person in this world who knew the Qin Clan's terrifying strength best. The emperor is said to have fallen ill on the way out of Luzhou, and his illness, Qin Gong, who was far away in Chang'an, was also sick, and the two old guys who had cooperated for many years seemed to have made an appointment. Is it really that coincidental?

The reason why Yang Zhi was so calm and determined, in addition to expecting that King Ning and King Kang would definitely take action, another reason was that he didn't believe that Duke Qin was sick at all!

The news that the emperor was sick and seriously ill on the way to the class had spread all over Chang'an, all because of the rumors that the crown prince was trying to kill the emperor and usurp the throne, and it was also spread openly or secretly inside and outside the court and the opposition like a crazy plague. What is the truth and what the future will be, no one dares to say that they have a spectrum in their hearts. The famous Flying Tiger Marquis suddenly appeared in the capital at this time with the imperial gold medal in hand, but it was absolutely true. This alone is enough to arouse a rich association of unbridled people. Who would dare to say that this is just a coincidence? Who would dare to doubt the identity of him as an agent of the emperor?

People are determined, Yang Zhi is like a god in the eyes of the small people, an omnipotent hero, the embodiment of justice, and an important minister of the town and country appointed by the emperor. Most of the people who can enter the court and mix in the officialdom are not bad IQs, just like the "Reuters" in the officialdom in the previous life, they are still unfazed on the surface. Privately, 10,000 versions have been deduced.

From the princes and nobles, including the queen, to all the civil and military officials with ranks, no matter which camp they belong to, Yang Zhi's two views are surprisingly consistent: First, this person has always been known for his strength. Resourcefulness does not lose courage at all. In addition, with Chen Wenyuan and Wang Yunong's personal evidence, the identity of the emperor's genuine agent is beyond doubt. What kind of attitude he is means what kind of attitude the emperor is. Whoever he is on will be the winner! The second is that in this sensitive and extraordinary period, even if you offend the king of heaven, it doesn't matter. You just can't offend this plague god!

In Yang Zhi's secret discussion with Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun, one of the important topics was to establish his pivotal position in this chess game as soon as possible. And this gave birth to another by-product that made him smile, which was also unexpected.

Yang Zhi's reputation for "unprovoked" is outside, and the gold content of the royal gold medal is even more abundant. In the past few days, it is not only the small people who have come to Yang Mansion to give New Year's gifts.

The empress bore the brunt of the large rewards given to the two young ladies of the Yang Mansion, followed by the four princes of the Donggong Prince's Mansion, King Ning, King Kang, and King Yue, and the princes and nobles headed by King Fu, and the Chinese military ministers of the dynasty headed by Wei Su and Wang Yunong. To Yang Zhi's surprise, the three marquis of the Li family, who had always regarded him as a mortal enemy who did not share the sky. actually did not hesitate to put down his body to join in this excitement, which shows that the queen and Wei Su have good intentions.

Many gift-givers have different thoughts, and there are only a handful of people who have personal friendship with Yang Zhi. The hearts of several heavyweights are clearly revealed, and they don't expect him to fall to their side because of this, at least they want to show favor and not offend, so that this uncle can remain neutral and not help each other at a critical time. There are many people who intend to take this opportunity to watch the direction of the wind and explore the signs, and those who follow the tide to take a look at the scene also account for a considerable part.

Yang Zhi originally planned to knock on a "New Year's bamboo bar" in Penglai, but he was disturbed by the prince's bad work, and he had regrets in his spare time. I didn't expect that the east side is not bright and the west side is bright, how can there be a reason not to collect special fees and laugh at them?

The fly in the ointment is. Although many rewards and gifts are all of great value, such as gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare medicines, and silk and satin, it is also troublesome to count, evaluate, and classify the collection. Yang Zhida felt comfortable, but couldn't help but curse in his heart: If I had known this would have been the case. Lao Tzu posted a notice at the gate, with eight big characters on it, "Refuse gifts, only accept cash tickets", isn't it that everyone saves trouble and wants a lot of lunch?

The Yang father and son have always been enthusiastic about holding money, and they have long been famous in Chang'an officialdom. The old man Yang Yan's father and son are clearly marked with the price to charge the entrance fee, and it is not a day or two. Yang Zhi put An Guihou to the point of madness. I still haven't forgotten to recover the 100,000 taels of "compensation" viciously. On the day of the wedding, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty accepted all the congratulatory gifts as ordered, and there was not even a word of fake politeness on the scene. After arriving in Shandong and "mingling" with several groups of pirates, the ferocious old spicy spicy land scraping has already spread in Chang'an, which has amazed countless old oilmen in the officialdom.

People with good intentions conclude that although the Yang family was a small businessman with a small industry in Xinyang, it can be regarded as a solid family at best. It has only been more than a year since he moved to Chang'an and entered the emperor's sight, and I am afraid that he can already claim to have a huge amount of money.

People are so rich that you don't have a temper, and you can't even stand the fashionable "huge amount of property of unknown origin" in your previous life, even if you want to sue, you can't find a reason. He doesn't steal, he doesn't rob, he doesn't exploit and harm the people, and he doesn't have officials or positions, and he can't talk about being greedy and taking bribes.

You can turn your back and scold them for being rich and gentle, or you can go back and close the door to greet him for the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the old Yang family, but no one dares to fart in front of them, which does not hinder the wealth of others at all. You have to send what you should send, and I'm afraid that people won't give you this face and refuse to accept it. If everyone sends it except you, God knows when this plague god will remember you? Scolding and scolding, money is something outside the body, on the eve of this mountain rain coming and cloudy, it is better to be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years!

In the final analysis, no matter whether it is the gods and Buddhas or the city gods, they just want to capture an attitude. But there is no attitude is Yang Zhi's attitude: rewards and gifts do not refuse, but no one is seen. If you want to, leave your things and leave, and if you don't want to, take your things and get out of here! Even Zhao Qi, the king of Yue, and Zhao Ying, the lord of Yangcheng County, who came on behalf of Geng's mansion, did not make an exception to give them face.

As for Yang Zhi's form of making a fortune quickly, the old man Yang Yan and the young lady Shen Yu have long been surprised. The two of them are almost numb to the concept of how much money they have, and it doesn't matter if they have it.

But Zhao Yan is different.

She is intelligent by nature. Growing up in the Imperial Palace, she has been exposed to it since she was a child, the intentional guidance of the emperor's father in every way, and the careful nurturing and teaching of her mother Concubine Mei, so that she has developed the habit of being good at thinking about state affairs since she was a child. made her a beautiful, virtuous, and strategic princess of Daxia. In good conscience, Geng Chao was so obsessed with her at the beginning, not entirely because the toad wanted to eat swan meat and delusionally wanted to climb the golden branch.

Although Zhao Yan didn't have the opportunity to hear the gossip flying all over the sky outside, the emperor still heard about it when he fell ill on the way to the class. The situation in the palace and the subtle changes of his mother and younger brother, as well as Yang Zhi's performance after his sudden appearance in Chang'an, the Hou Mansion has been unusually lively recently, and if you think about it for many reasons, it is not difficult to vaguely guess the current situation.

Shen Yu is far less heart-conscious than Zhao Yan, and he doesn't have the heart to pay attention to any major events in the world during the New Year. On the evening of this day, Zhao Yan didn't take much effort to break Shen Yu away, and solemnly expressed her hidden worries to Yang Zhi: "Husband, my father's delay in the teacher's trip due to the dragon's body is really strange. At the moment, Fuzhong is such a scene. You don't see any customers, and you don't judge gifts. Although you have a gold medal in your hand, your father did not grant you the right to act in the affairs of the state. It is said that if something is abnormal, it is a demon, and many princes and nobles and civil and military ministers are so stammering with you, don't you think it is abnormal? ”

Yang Zhi was noncommittal to her question, and only asked with an absent-minded smile: "Finished?" ”

“…… Also, when Sister Xiaoying came yesterday, she was going to see you, and I was afraid that she would annoy you, so I forcibly dragged her for a long time. Xiao Ying only said that there was a letter from Geng Chao, and asked her to hand it over to you in person. But he didn't want to reveal a word about what he said in the letter. The saint has clouds: the gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative. Geng Chao is a general of the forbidden army, and his husband has a bloody friendship with him, and he has a relationship with him on weekdays. That's not unusual. At this time, it seems that there is something wrong with secretly colluding with him in private. Husband, please remember that your father treats you well, and I hope you don't let this Great Xia country fall into a situation where you can't recover...... ”

"Enough! The sage also said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented! ”

Yang Zhi was extremely disgusted by the absurd rhetoric of instigating unconditional dogs with people as "the emperor's grace" and "thunder and rain and dew, all of which are jun'en", and waved his hand to interrupt Zhao Yan. frowned: "No one in this world owes anyone, I don't owe anyone anything!" I am neither a gentleman nor a villain. What should not be done and how to do it, I don't need to be taught by others. Everything you said is your speculation, why do you say that the emperor is strangely ill? is also a member of the Great Xia royal family, and the county lord of Yangcheng can still run errands and carry a letter, but look at your precious brother! Usually a brother-in-law is sweeter than honey, and I just want to stay here and not leave, but this time it seems that I will be infected with the plague, and I will slip away when I show up! The prince of the dignified prison country is still like this, not to mention whether people will recognize me as a son-in-law in the future, it is difficult to say! ”

Zhao Yan deliberately avoided the words of the prince's murder of his father and usurpation, although he couldn't erase the love of father and daughter and brother and sister to take care of the royal face, and he was also afraid that there was no conclusive evidence in front of him in this matter. She heard this meaning from Yang Zhi's words, and also heard his resentment against King Yue's single-minded trickery.

Zhao Yan has been reprimanded by Yang Zhi once in her life, and no one else has ever given her a look. stubbornly raised his head and tried his best to persuade calmly: "Husband, since I have entered the door of your Yang family, I will be a member of your Yang family forever." Please be assured that I have absolutely no outside thoughts. As the saying goes, a virtuous wife and a husband have few misfortunes, although I know that it will displease you, but I still have to say it. ”

"Xiao Wu is only twelve years old after all, he is still a child, you don't blame him. My father once said before the imperial expedition that the worries of Great Xia were not in Southern Chu, nor in Northern Yan, but within the Xiao Wall. As long as there is no situation in the future where brothers will fight each other, the people of Daxia will be in peace with each other. If Great Xia falls apart, it is conceivable that my Yang family will not have peace. I have no intention of interfering with what my husband does, but you must know the righteousness and subtleties in this matter. ”

Yang Zhi didn't like Zhao Yan to mix in it, it was a good intention. Now that the emperor has no news, Concubine Mei and Zhao Qi's mother and son are bent on staying out of the matter, and it is inevitable that there will be a little complaint when they mention this, which is also true. Seeing that Zhao Yan's eyes were red, she couldn't help but hold back her tears from falling, and she couldn't help but feel unbearable.

took her cold and trembling little hand, took her into his arms and chuckled: "What I just said was too serious, I'm sorry." I didn't mean to hide it, but I didn't want you and Yu'er to worry. The situation is so delicate that I don't know where to start. I knew exactly what I was doing, everything I said, everything I did, I had a reason. All in all, you can believe that I will never disappoint you. ”

Zhao Yan said what she had been worried about for many days, and her husband coaxed her softly, and her heart was a lot happier when she landed. got into Yang Zhi's arms and said angrily: "Wrongdoer, you are fierce and coaxing, so you don't torture people!" ”

Yang Zhi sighed: "Although King Yue is a child, his current identity is first and foremost the prince of the prison country, and there are some things that he can't avoid no matter what. I don't want to make it difficult for others, but others don't necessarily treat him as a child. When it's convenient for you, bring him a message for me! Just ask him where he's from. ”

Zhao Yan saw that his face was unhappy, and the question brought to Zhao Qi was also very heavy, so she only nodded thoughtfully and agreed, and no longer spoke.

After a few days of such excitement and excitement, it was the 28th day of the lunar month in a blink of an eye. Every household is preparing for the New Year, and there are few people in the streets and alleys of Chang'an. As the saying goes, Huazi has a Chinese New Year's Eve, and on this day, Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun were very knowledgeable and did not enter the gate of Yang Mansion.

At dusk, Yang Zhizheng was bored walking around the mansion, and a little guy who was wearing the uniform of a servant of the Yang Mansion but felt a little raw rubbed beside him and muttered something in a low voice. Yang Zhi's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and he stopped the little servant and said, "I'm going to go to the treasury to ask for some things to come out, and tomorrow I will reward the guards and subordinates in the house, and you can go with me to help." ”

The little guy lowered his head to the side, and respectfully stretched out his hand to signal, "Yes." Master Hou, please go this way. ”

What the little guy muttered just now was the incision agreed between Yang Zhi and Qin Kongyun, and on the palm of his hand was the unique mark of the Qin clan!

Yang Zhi walked ahead carelessly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the little guy was pretending to be afraid of the cold and rubbing his hands vigorously, obviously to erase the mark on his palm. The entire Yang Mansion has been carefully gathered, and it has already become an almost transparent glass box, and Yang Zhi can't help but secretly admire the Qin Clan's meticulous actions and well-trained subordinates.

The master and servant walked one after the other to the secluded corner, and there was no stagnation at the feet of the little servant, and he said in a low voice: "Master Hou, there is news from the emperor!" ”
