Chapter Twenty-Six: Something Else
Chapter 26 has another meaning
Yang Yuanqing was unable to leave the imperial city, and as soon as he walked to the end gate, he heard someone behind him shouting to him, "General Yang, General Yang stays!" ”
As soon as Yang Yuanqing turned around, he saw two eunuchs galloping on horseback, he grabbed the reins, and the two eunuchs galloped over, panting and saying: "General Yang, go back with us, the Holy Lord wants to summon you!" ”
Yang Yuanqing nodded, turned the horse's head to walk with them, and he asked the two of them with a smile: "Two fathers-in-law, how is the saint in his mood?" ”
"Sheng Shang has already drunk two bowls of bird's nest porridge, and he should be in a good mood. ,”
Yang Yuanqing knew it in his heart, which showed that Yang Guang was also pretending to leave angrily just now, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the Guanlong nobles again.
Sometimes Yang Yuanqing was also a little suspicious that Yang Guang wanted to reactivate the Guanlong nobles, but judging from today's situation, Yang Guang's main line of attacking the Guanlong nobles has not changed, but it is more hidden.
Will Yang Guang take this opportunity to purge the Yuan family in an all-round way?
.....
At this time, in the imperial study, Yang Guang was also thinking about this issue, the children of the Yuan family were all over the court and the army, should he use this opportunity to eliminate all the children of the Yuan family?
Yang Guang was very hesitant in his heart, if the Yuan family was really uprooted, then the Dugu family would be the biggest, and the Guanlong nobles would lose the opportunity for internal fighting, on the contrary, if the Yuan family could be retained and this opportunity to create a grudge between the Yuan family and the Dugu family, then the Guanlong nobles would be decomposed into two factions, thus forming a trend of infighting, which was more beneficial than uprooting the Yuan family.
Thinking of this, Yang Guang made a decision, this time only for Yuanshou and not for the Yuan family.
He sat down and put pen to paper and approved a '敇' on the resignation report that Yuan Shou had just handed over, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter was over.
At this time, a report from the eunuch came from outside the imperial study, "Your Majesty, General Yang is here." ”
"Announce him in!"
The relaxed smile on Yang Guang's face disappeared, and he returned to the coldness when he left the Xuanzheng Palace, this Yang Yuanqing's trick today was beyond his expectations, giving him a feeling that he couldn't control it, he didn't like this feeling, he felt that it was necessary to take Yang Yuanqing's heart again, don't let him go so early. Templars,
At this time, Yang Yuanqing walked in and gave a deep salute, "Minister Yang Yuanqing see Your Majesty!" ”
Yang Guang rummaged through a drawer for a long time, found a notebook, and handed it to Yang Yuanqing, "Take a look first!" ”
A eunuch transferred the fold to Yang Yuanqing, he flipped through it, and was secretly shocked in his heart, this is the fifth day of the first month of the second year of the Great Cause, Yuwen wrote a book of folds, which displayed the Dugu family's grain shop in the capital in detail, pointing out that the Dugu family controlled the grain in the capital.
Yang Guang looked at Yang Yuanqing with a smile, his eyes seemed to tell Yang Yuanqing that everything could not be hidden from him, Yang Yuanqing sighed and lowered his head deeply, "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the minister is ashamed." ”
Yang Guang showed a smug smile on his face, Yang Yuanqing admitted that he was inferior, which made him feel a little more comfortable, "But when did the Yuan family take over the grain shop, I don't know, tell me?" ”
Yang Yuanqing thought for a while and said: "The last time the minister was ordered to enter Beijing to stabilize the situation, he found out that it was the Dugu family who controlled the grain in the capital, and the minister came to the door to order the Dugu family to reduce the price of grain. ”
"Humph! When they realized the danger, they transferred the danger to others, and the Dugu family had a lot of means! ”
Yang Guang sneered, and casually threw Yuwenshu's fold into the waste paper tube, the Yuan family handed over the store, this fold was meaningless, originally he wanted to use this handle to deal with the Dugu family at a critical time in the future, but Yang Yuanqing used it first today.
"Alright! I won't mention it. ”
Yang Guang changed the topic and a smile appeared on his face, "Yuanqing, today I just found out that you are not only powerful in force, but also have a good mind, and you are very good at seizing opportunities, and now that the world is peaceful, it seems a pity to let you go to the frontier." ”
Yang Yuanqing's heart jumped, Yang Guang didn't want him to be a magistrate!
Yang Guang glanced at him, as if he understood his thoughts, shook his head and said: "I don't want you to be a magistrate, that can't give full play to your strengths, I have set up a scholar's department since last year, and I have taken ten subjects, and there have indeed been many outstanding children, such as Zhang Zhizhi, Hou Junsu, Fang Xuanling, Wen Yanbo, etc., but most of them are children from the north, so I decided to hold a four-branch examination in Jiangdu, specifically for the southern counties, all school students, regardless of whether they are high or low, can participate in the examination, Yuanqing, how about it, are you interested in being the main exam?" ”
Yang Yuanqing hurriedly waved his hand, "Wouldn't it be a mistake to let the minister do the main exam." ()”
Yang Guang pondered for a while, he also felt that it was inappropriate to let Yang Yuanqing be the main exam, so he nodded, "Jiangdu Imperial Examination I let Xiao Ju be in charge, you can go and inspect Cao Yun for me!" ”
Yang Yuanqing couldn't figure out Yang Guang's thoughts, he always felt that Yang Guang was very casual, and for a while he let himself be the main exam, and then arranged to inspect Caoyun, all of which were casual, like an excuse, and his intuition told him that Yang Guang seemed to have other arrangements.
He bowed and saluted, "I am willing to share your Majesty's worries!" ”
Sure enough, as soon as Yang Guang waved his hand, he ordered the eunuchs in the study to retreat, and then he said lightly: "Yuanqing, do you remember what I said in the morning today?" ”
Yang Yuanqing nodded, he knew that Yang Guang was referring to the Grand Canal, "Your Majesty is talking about Jianghuai officialdom." ”
Yang Guang took out two notebooks and handed them to Yang Yuanqing, "You can take a look at this again." ”
Yang Yuanqing looked at it, one is the twist and turn of the imperial history Wei Deyu, and the other is the twist and turn of the Sili doctor Xue Daoheng, the content is all about the Jianghuai officialdom, Yang Guang said coldly: "These two people are now in Jiangdu, but the content of the fold they sent is completely different, Wei Deyu's twist and turn told me that Pengcheng County Taishou Zhang Xin set up cards in the canal to collect taxes privately, and there are more officials doing other illegal things, but Xue Daoheng's twist and turn said that the Jianghuai officialdom is clear, and impeached Wei Deyu for extorting money from officials, I really don't know which one to believe, so, You went up to inspect Caoyun in name, but in reality you ..... Do you understand? ”
Only then did Yang Yuanqing understand that Yang Guang's true purpose was to let himself go to investigate the Jianghuai officialdom, which was an errand that offended people, Yang Yuanqing hesitated for a moment and said: "It's just that the minister has no supervisory position, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress the Jiangnan officialdom." ”
"This I naturally understand, I will add you the title of Imperial Doctor, give you the sword of Shang Fang Tianzi, and allow you to cut first and then play!"
........
Yang Yuanqing returned home with a heavy heart, for some reason, he always felt that Yang Guang's appointment was very strange and a little unreasonable, if he felt that Xue Daoheng or Wei Deyu was not credible, he could completely let other imperial doctors go to investigate the case, such as Pei Yun or Zhang Heng, who were both experienced and shrewd, and let him, an inexperienced person, go to investigate the officialdom, it seemed a bit useless, what kind of medicine was sold in Yang Guang's gourd?
As soon as she walked into the house, his wife Minqiu hurriedly ran over, "Husband, go to the guest room, grandfather has been waiting for you for almost half an hour." ”
Yang Yuanqing was stunned, is Pei Ju waiting for himself? He didn't care about going on a business trip, so he walked quickly to the guest room.
In the guest room, Pei Ju was holding his hands behind his back, staring carefully at a word on the wall, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, at this time, Yang Yuanqing walked in quickly, and saluted Pei Ju: "Yuanqing see grandfather!" ”
Pei Ju pointed to the writing on the wall and asked, "Where did you get this writing from?" ”
Yang Yuanqing never paid attention to the words on the wall, so he smiled: "It should be the text panel that Princess Leping gave me." ”
"Her Royal Highness the princess gave you a banner, can you just hang it here?"
"This ..... It seems to have been hung by my men, and it was hung when I first moved. ”
"Your subordinate should really be beaten up, he actually hung such a precious thing here casually, and your wife should also be scolded, I taught her in vain."
Yang Yuanqing was stunned, he also looked carefully, the text was quite long, there were nearly a thousand words, but he didn't see the seal, I don't know who wrote it, the words were written very chic, at this time, Pei Minqiu came in with tea, and when she heard her grandfather, she also hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, she knew the goods better than Yang Yuanqing, and after looking at it for a long time, she suddenly covered her mouth with both hands, Pei Ju sneered: "Do you see whose calligraphy this is?" ”
"Could this be Wang Xizhi's "Seventeen Posts"?" Pei Minqiu hesitated.
"It's not just "Seventeen Posts", this is the real work, you actually hang here so casually, should you scold?"
At this time, Yang Yuanqing had an urge to hold down Yang Balang and beat him hard, these calligraphy and paintings were hung by him, Pei Ju was angry, he pulled over the table, climbed directly onto the table, took off the word panel, carefully rolled it up slowly, and said angrily to Yang Yuanqing and his wife who were stunned: "As a punishment for you, I will confiscate this word!" ”
Yang Yuanqing couldn't hold back any longer, laughed, Pei Ju glared at him fiercely, and finally couldn't help laughing: "What other good calligraphy and paintings, why don't you take me to see it?" ”
Yang Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said, "Grandfather, I gave you this calligraphy and painting, but I have something important to discuss with you now." ”
Pei Ju snorted, "Do you want to discuss with me now?" But he didn't tell me about the Yuan family's grain store, so we wasted our energy fighting in vain, and finally played us a game. ”
Yang Yuan said apologetically: "I only thought about the grain store last night, it's late, and I don't have time to tell my grandfather, I'm sorry." ”
Although Pei Ju was a little dissatisfied, but it was also very good to kill Yuanshou, his anger eased slightly, and he sat down and said, "Say it!" What did the Holy One tell you to do? ”
Yang Yuanqing motioned for Minqiu to sit down as well, and then said, "It's the matter of Pengcheng County's Taishou Zhang Xin's unauthorized collection of taxes as mentioned by the Holy Lord in the pilgrimage this morning." ”
Pei Ju was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Could it be.... Does the Holy Lord want you to check the Jianghuai officialdom? ”
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "In the name of inspecting Caoyun, in fact, let me go to check the Jianghuai officialdom, I always feel that there is something wrong here, and things don't seem to be so simple." ”
"Of course it's not that simple!"
Pei Ju sneered, "Do you know who this Zhang Xin is?" ”
Yang Yuanqing thought about it, and he suddenly blurted out, "Could it be that this person has something to do with Zhang Jin?" ”
