Chapter 396 Water and Fire Yang Family
Yang Mansion is lively and festive, yesterday Yang Yuanqing was named the governor of Youzhou, and today Yang Yuanqing's relatives who have been separated for many years are reunited, Yang Mansion is like a festival, in order to celebrate this kind of festivity, Yang Yuanqing specially ordered, Yang Mansion people guard, each person will be rewarded with 100 hangings, everyone in Yang Mansion is smiling, which is encouraging. ()
Although they have been separated for thirteen years, the aunt's appearance has basically not changed, but there are a few more wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, she is still so delicate, her smile is still gentle, and her words make Yang Yuanqing feel a trace of motherly care.
"Is my aunt still in Hengshan now?"
"Now it's not in Hengshan, a small number of us are in Hengshan, and most of us have moved to Danyang County, thanks to the manor you gave us, the orphans of our Nanhua Palace have a place to live and a source of food."
Shen Qiuniang's tone was full of gratitude, and she smiled: "This year's harvest is good, everyone is discussing to come to Beijing to see you, and send some melons and fruits that we planted with our own hands, I think that I have not seen my Yuanqing child for many years, so I will send it, and the old lady wants to see her great-granddaughter, and she insists on coming with me." ”
Shen Wuhua next to her has officially become a nun, the Dharma name Guanyin, she is a monk, dressed in a wide bhikshuni robe, holding a string of prayer beads in her hand, her face is solemn and kind, and she is holding Yang Yuanqing's two daughters in her arms.
Hearing Shen Qiuniang talk about herself, Shen Wuhua also smiled: "Although I am old, I didn't trouble you along the way, when your arm hurts, I still take care of you." ”
Yang Yuanqing suddenly remembered that his aunt had been injured, and hurriedly asked with concern, "Isn't my aunt's arm okay yet?" ”
"When the roots fall in the early years, it will ache faintly in winter, but it is good for you to give me this pair of bracelets, and I feel warmth on my wrist when I wear it."
Shen Qiuniang wore a pair of warm jade bracelets on her wrists, which Yang Yuanqing bought from Xiao Mo and gave to her aunt, which has always been her most precious thing, and she is reluctant to sell it no matter how short of money.
She saw that Yang Yuanqing's face was full of concern, and hurriedly smiled: "Don't worry, I usually pay attention to keeping warm, and I haven't hurt for several years, but this time we took a boat to Jingzhou, and the wind on the river was too strong, so the old problem was a little attacked, and it was good to go ashore." ()”
Shen Qiuniang was holding Yang Yuanqing's son who was less than one year old in her arms, she looked at Minqiu and the others in the room, and said to Yang Yuanqing seriously: "Yuanqing, if you are doing well, my aunt will be very happy, but there is one sentence that my aunt must say." ”
"Auntie has something to say."
Shen Qiuniang sighed and said to Pei Minqiu: "Actually, I should have said to Minqiu, although Yuanqing is the Yang family, but in fact he is very estranged from the Yang family, he has been like this since he was a child, his father did not treat him as a son, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an orphan, my biggest hope is that Yuanqing can have a family of his own, and his descendants will be prosperous, you only have one son now, it is really too little, Minqiu, do you understand what I mean?" ”
Pei Minqiu nodded silently, "Auntie, I understand what you mean, I will try my best to do a good job." ”
Shen Qiuniang smiled: "Okay, I'll just say this, and nothing else will be wordy." ”
At this time, the housekeeper's wife said at the door: "Master, madam, the dinner is ready." ”
Yang Yuanqing got up and said with a smile: "The dinner is ready, let's eat." ”
"Let's eat!" The two little girls rushed out first.
Yang Yuanqing hugged his aunt and grandmother, and everyone talked and laughed, and walked towards the dining hall together.
........
Yang Yuanqing's mansion was immersed in laughter, but the Yang Mansion of Shangshanfang was shrouded in a gloomy cloud, Yang Xuangan was removed from the post of Shangshu and Taiwei, and deposed to the Taishou of Dongping County, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Yang family, which was even more serious than the dismissal of Yang Yue in the third year of the Great Cause.
This means that the Yang family has lost its status as a high-ranking family, from the most dazzling first-class family of the Great Sui Dynasty to a second-rate family, except for the glory that has passed away with the wind, the Yang family can no longer show off other capital.
For a whole day, Yang Xuangan locked himself in his room, his mood was extremely low, at this time his heart was full of hatred for the Zheng family, it was this hatred that made his little sense of regret for his wife disappear, he believed that the Zheng family's blow to the Yang family must have been tacitly approved by his wife.
At this time, Yang Xuangan was thinking more about his big things, and there was no Shang",
Yang Xuangan was pacing back and forth anxiously in the room with his hands behind his back, did he really want to give up? Give up the great cause left to him by his father, give up his dream for many years, and live a life like this? He was not reconciled! But he had nothing.
Yang Xuan looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and the entanglement in his heart made him so angry that he almost shouted out.
At this moment, a report from the housekeeper came from outside the door, "Master, the prince of Pushan County asks to see you!" ”
Yang Xuangan's spirits perked up, and he turned around and said, "Please, please come to my study!" ”
From the morning to now, there have been several groups of guests visiting, Yang Xuangan has not seen anyone, but Li Mi's arrival has made him like an extremely arid land to get spring rain, and his decadent spirit has been lifted up at once.
After a while, Li Mi walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Congratulations!" ”
Yang Xuan was stunned, Li Mi congratulated himself, how happy? He was confused, but it was not good to ask directly, so he smiled bitterly and asked Li Mi to sit down, and ordered the maid to serve tea.
The maid served tea and retreated, and only Li Mi and Yang Xuangan were left in the room, and Yang Xuangan asked: "Brother Xian congratulates me, how can I be happy?" ”
Li Mi smiled slightly, "Is Ming Gong very frustrated when he is demoted?" ”
Yang Xuan sighed and said, "Didn't the virtuous brother notice the depression of the Yang Mansion when he entered the mansion? Can you see who in the Yang family has a smiling face? ”
"This is Ming Gong only sees its disadvantages but not its benefits, but in my opinion, Ming Gong was demoted to Taishou except for a little loss in face, there is no other loss, on the contrary, Ming Gong will be a big deal for Taishou, so I want to congratulate."
Yang Xuangan's eyes gradually lit up, and he suddenly understood what Li Mi meant, he had already decided to oppose Sui, did he still care about any promotions and deprecations? For the uprising, Taishou can be much more advantageous than Shangshu.
After all, Yang Xuangan has been an official for more than 20 years and has rich experience, he just drilled the tip of the horns today, coupled with the huge psychological loss of being demoted, he couldn't see the situation clearly for a while, so that he has been in a state of sinking, and Li Mi's words were like a wind blowing through his heart, so that the fog in his heart was blown away, and his mind suddenly became clear.
Yang Xuangan pondered for a moment and then asked: "What I'm worried about now is that I have lost my position as Shangshu, once I get into trouble, how many people will follow?" ”
Li Mi laughed, "With Su Wei's high status, how many people will support him if he gets into trouble?" ”
A word woke up the people in the mountains, Yang Xuangan finally suddenly realized, if he got into trouble, others would look at his father Yang Su, not him Yang Xuangan, the last big stone in his heart went, his heart suddenly became light, and he hurriedly said: "Then how should I act, please ask the virtuous brother for advice." ”
Li Mi was already confident, and said with a smile: "I have three strategies to help Ming Gong achieve great things!" ”
"Please!"
"The first strategy is called Taoguang obscure, Ming Gong can indulge in wine and confuse Jinshang, and he can't be noticed by Jinshang's slightest ambition; The second strategy is called Ming Xiu plank road, secretly crossing Chen Cang, Ming Gong is the Taishou of Dongping County, you can use the excuse to quell the bandits in the territory, expand the county soldiers, and at the same time secretly recruit troops and buy horses, such as Dongping County's Ju Yeze is the best place to raise troops, and you can even send children to pretend to rebel and rebel bandits, accumulate strength, and now the world is full of bandits, and it is extremely normal for two branches to appear in Dongping County. ”
When Li Mi said this, Yang Xuangan was amazed, "Clever! ”
Let his disciples pretend to be bandits, one can be his Taishou identity can be disguised and taken care of, and the other is that he can secretly accumulate strength, this plan is extremely clever, he smiled: "I only then understand why it is easier to be a Taishou than Shangshu to start things, the virtuous brother really has insight, so what about the third strategy?" ”
"The third strategy is Beilian Yuanqing, Yuanqing is the governor of Youzhou, if such an important force can be grasped, then the world is at your fingertips."
The third strategy made Yang Xuangan fall into deep thought, and after a long time, he sighed, "Yuanqing won't help me!" ”
Li Mi shook his head and smiled: "It's not a question of whether he can help or not, if Ming Gong gets into trouble, he has no way out, will the emperor let him take charge of the military again?" Whether he wants it or not, he can only follow the incident, so Ming Gong can not only consider his own conditions, but also consider for Yuanqing, and he must wait for the conditions of both parties to be ripe before he can start an incident, and he must not be hasty. ”
"I see!"
Yang Xuangan nodded slowly, and he asked again: "I went to Dongping County, is the virtuous brother still staying in the capital?" ”
"Of course I'll follow, not only that, but I'm also going to secretly pull a rebel army to help Ming Gong!"
..........
At the same time that Li Mi went to visit Yang Xuangan, a carriage also stopped in front of the gate of Yuanshou Mansion in Guandefang, Yuan Hongji got out of the carriage and hurriedly walked up the steps, Yuan Min had been waiting in front of the gate for a long time.
"Has everyone else arrived?"
"It's all here, just wait for the fourth uncle, please come with me!"
Yuan Min took Yuan Hongsi to his father's study, Yuan Hongsi is about fifty years old this year, looks dignified, six feet two, burly and tall, he is currently the provincial Nayan, the prince and the young master, is an important minister of the court, and is also the representative of the Yuan family in the court.
Yuan Hongsi is the former governor of Youzhou, he has been an official in Youzhou, he has stayed in the position of the governor of Youzhou for nearly seven years, and has cultivated a large number of henchmen in Youzhou.
Today, the saint officially decreed that Yang Yuanqing was appointed as the governor of Youzhou, which really made Yuan Hongsi worried, and as soon as it was dark, he came to Yuanshou to discuss.
In Yuanshou's study, the eldest son Yuan Shangwu, the second son Yuan Shangjun, as well as Yuanshou's brother Yuan Tan, and another clan brother Yuan Wendu, have all arrived, waiting for Yuan Honghei's arrival.
Yuan Wendu is also quite reused by Yang Guang, after Yang Yuanqing resigned from the imperial doctor, he took over, but Yuan Wendu is low-key, not much to say, today's meeting is extremely important, so he also came to participate.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
Yuan Hongji walked into the room quickly, bringing a gust of wind, Yuan Shou smiled and waved his hand, "I'm waiting for you, sit down!" Min'a also sat down. ”
The Yuan family is divided into dozens of rooms, and there are nearly 1,000 people, and the people who came to the Yuanshou study room for a meeting today are the most trusted confidants of Yuanshou.
Yuan Shou's face was solemn, and he said to everyone: "Let everyone come to the meeting today, which is to formally discuss with everyone, how should our Yuan family prepare, and how can we recapture the country that should belong to our Tuoba clan?" ”
