Chapter 857: Cai Wenji's Request

After careful discussion with Guo Jia and Pang Tong, he still felt that if he looked at the future situation, he still agreed to deploy it secretly, no matter whether it was successful or not, he should be prepared first, and there was no need to be so hasty if necessary.

After the two left, Wang Xu felt a little headache, and then strolled to the Imperial Garden, but he didn't expect to meet Cai Yan and Diao Chan playing the piano and dancing.

"Wen Ji, Cicada! You ......"

He was about to pass as he spoke, but he suddenly stopped at the sound of the harp.

From the sound of the piano, Wang Xu felt a kind of sadness that was so thick that it could not be dissolved, and the meaning of Diao Chan's dance was more of a kind of longing and sacrifice, after quietly observing for a long time, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, who is this Diao Chan and Cai Yan commemorating?

After a while, after the two finished dancing, Wang Xu strode over, laughed and asked, "Who are Wen Ji and Cicada missing?" ”

When the two heard this, they looked back in amazement, and then bowed with a smile.

"Husband!"

"That's it!" Wang Xu waved his hand, strode between the two, and took them into his arms at the same time. "What are you two sad about here alone?"

Diao Chan smiled shyly and quietly moved the position of Wang Xu's big hand.

"Husband, today is the death day of Wen Ji's sister's father, and we went to worship together this morning and returned, so we are a little sad!"

"Wen Ji's father's death day?" Wang Xu was stunned and looked at Cai Yan in amazement: "Cai Gong has passed away?" When was this? How did I not know? At the beginning of the year before last, when Wang Yun and Huangfu Song passed away one after another, I saw at the funeral that he was in good health. Why haven't I seen you for two years? And he died! ”

"Alas!" Cai Yan sighed. The expression was sad: "My father suddenly suffered from a strange disease at the end of the year before last, and he couldn't cure it, and Doctor Hua said that it was an old disease of more than 20 years, and if it was found in the early stage, it could still be cured, but now it has penetrated into the bone marrow, and there is no cure, and the concubine begged them to do their best, but it was only delayed for a few months." Gone this time last year! ”

"I hadn't gone out at the end of the year before last, so why didn't I know anything about it? Why didn't anyone tell me that Cai Gong was terminally ill? Wang Xu asked confusedly.

"At that time, the army was about to go out, and the husband was busy with the conquest, and the concubine was worried that this matter was unlucky, so she didn't dare to tell it, and the father also meant this at that time, so everyone hid it, and when the father died, he happened to hear Zhuge Minister say that the war in Xiliang was tense, so he still didn't inform the husband!"

"Alas! I didn't expect that I couldn't even see the last side of Cai Gong! Wang Xu was a little regretful and sad. Shaking his head helplessly.

"But why didn't you inform me when you went to worship today?"

"The husband has been working all night in the Qinzheng Palace these days to deal with affairs, and the concubine thinks that it is just a memorial service. There is no need to delay the husband, just a few concubines will go with Sister Xu Shu! Cai Wenji replied softly.

"Wen Ji, you also think too much, no matter how busy you are, I should also go to the memorial! When you go again in the future, as long as I am here, remember to inform me. ”

"The concubine knows, thank you husband!"

Cai Yan said happily, leaning on Wang Xu's arms stupidly.

After a moment, she suddenly remembered something and straightened up.

"By the way, the concubines have something to ask for!"

"What do you want or not, I've been fighting outside for more than a year, why did you just come back and you returned to that appearance, how many times have you said it, you don't have so much etiquette when you're at home, you and I are not monarchs and ministers in this Yongning Palace, just family!"

"Hmmm! Wen Ji obeys! Cai Yan smiled.

"Alas!" Wang Xu glanced at her with a little resentment and hugged Cai Yan tighter.

"Tell me, what's the matter!"

Cai Yan replied gently: "Actually, it is also a private matter, my father has been honest all his life, and the rewards and property earned are also donated to the development of Chu State Xuecao, so he did not leave much money after his death, and my sister's family has been very poor for so many years, and there are many sheep families, and my sister-in-law's income is not enough to support the entire sheep family. ”

"The husband also knows that the Taishan goat family has great kindness to my father and me, in the early years, my father was persecuted by eunuchs, wandering the world, all relying on the secret help of the sheep family, and my sister is now also a sheep family, Wen Ji really can't bear it in her heart, Yang Fa, Yang Cheng, Yang Huiyu, Yang Hu several children can't eat a good meal, especially Yang Dry, now only five years old, now I want to ask my husband, allow Wen Ji to fund them with some of her own unused property every month!"

When Wang Xu heard this, he immediately waved his hand: "Why do I think it's a big thing, this kind of small thing, you just go to Wenya?" What kind of property do you use? Now that the country of Chu is rich, there is no shortage in the palace, and your elegant sister controls the largest civilian workshop in the country of Chu, what she lacks most is money, and she will not be stingy! Besides, if you want to support them, why do you need to ask me for this kind of thing, you can make your own decisions! ”

"Wen Ji doesn't dare to make decisions without permission, the property in the palace is all her husband's, Wen Ji's use is acceptable, how can she give it to others without authorization, this is beyond the monarch's power, and if the harem sisters are like this, wouldn't there be a large group of corrupt relatives! Wen Ji is also grateful for the grace of the sheep family and sisterhood, and when several children grow up and start a career, they will eventually rely on their own strength. Cai Yan said stubbornly.

"Bunhime ......"

Wang Xu was speechless, he really didn't know how to say it, he only had one thought in his heart, Cai Wenji was really a natural match for the emperor.

After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and suddenly realized a very important question.

"The Goat? Back then, Yang Xu returned to his hometown with his deceitful death, didn't your sister go back to Taishan County with the Yang family? How could it be in the state of Chu? ”

"In the early years, the war in the Central Plains spread more and more widely, the Yang clan fell apart, each went to other directions, Yang continued to keep this room and fell into hardship, but he was unwilling to take refuge in the Cai family with the help of the past kindness, so my sister had no choice but to write a letter to the Yang family to ask for help, and my father immediately took the initiative to send someone to pick it up, and it has been more than ten years since he took the family to pick it up!"

Cai Yan said, and couldn't help sighing: "It's all because of the war, otherwise why would the Yang family fall into such a field today, they are old now." Small, small. Sick of the disease. The family's savings and property have long been destroyed in the war, and my father has been doing well with his full support earlier, but now that my father has died, his whole family, plus the old servants and family members who have followed him for many years, have as many as nearly 100 people, all of whom rely on his sister-in-law and his brother. ”

"Why didn't you say that before?" Wang Xu frowned and asked.

"The entanglement between the Cai family and the Yang family is a private matter. How can you let your husband bother? ”

Wang Xu smiled, he hadn't been able to react earlier, but during the conversation just now, he had already thought of a lot of things, and asked tentatively at the moment: "Wen Ji, listen to your tone, your sister and son-in-law also seem to be taking Yulu for a living, I don't know what they are doing now?" ”

"They are all teachers of the Xiangyang Wenwu Academy!"

Cai Yan explained seriously: "Although the husband vigorously promotes education, Mr. Teaching has a very high status among the people, and he is also good. But the three brothers of the Yang family could not feed nearly 100 people after all, and the Yang family had a big business in the past. There are many loyal old servants and family members, and they can't leave them alone! ”

Wang Xu instantly understood, the teaching gentlemen of the civil and military academies in various parts of the Chu State are not low, but it is an ordinary family, a family of more than 100 people relies on only three teaching gentlemen, it is definitely not enough, after thinking for a while, he was even more vaguely aware of some deeper problems, and immediately said quietly: "It turns out that this is the case, but the Yang family has produced great talents in recent generations, when Yang continued to be an official, Yang Mi and Yang Wei have been quite famous in the court, and now it is the time to employ people, why don't they engage in military and political affairs?" As long as you move around more, with the reputation accumulated by the sheep family, someone will definitely recommend it, and no matter how bad it is, you can participate in the assessment! ”

"This ......" Cai Yan hesitated.

"Wen Ji, you know me, to be honest!" Wang Xu smiled and encouraged.

Cai Yan looked at his expression, knowing that he might have been guessed, so he could only helplessly confide the truth at the moment.

"Husband, in fact, since the Yang family came to the Chu State, they have always been low-key, my father said that they were afraid of bringing disaster to the Cai family, and said that if they used the Cai family to take the throne, they were afraid that the Cai family would be calculated in the palace, especially after Wen Ji gave birth to Zheng'er, they were even more cautious! In fact, the concubine also said to her father that in the palace of her husband, the sisterhood is deep, and they eat and live together, which is not like the inner courtyard of the deep palace, but my father doesn't believe it, and always says that my mind is too simple! ”

After listening to this, Wang Xu sighed: "Yes! If you change to the emperor's family, after giving birth to a child with your identity, you are indeed in a place of suspicion, they are all experienced in the world, even if you say it, they will not believe it, and the more you say, the more they think you are simple, the more worried, and they dare not do great things! But if this continues, the talent will be buried! ”

Wang Xu smiled indifferently, patted Cai Yan and Diao Chan's fragrant shoulders with both hands, and then took a step.

"You go back and rest first, and I will go back to the Yongning Hall to accompany you tonight. In addition, I will send someone to summon the three brothers of the Yang family to the Qinzheng Hall later, and I will meet them! ”

As he spoke, he had drifted away.

"Also, bring my four nephews together, especially Yang Huiyu and Yang Hu, I want to meet these children!"

In fact, since Wang Xu realized what Cai Yan's sister represented and what the Yang family meant, he already had a rough idea in his mind.

How prominent was the Yang family at this time in history?

Yang secret, the eldest son of Yang Xu, Cao Wei Jingzhao Taishou.

Yang Shu, Yang continued to neutron, Cao Wei was too guarded by the party.

Yang Tan, Xin Bi's son-in-law, Xin Xianying's husband, was too often an official to the Wei State. Of course, now that he came to Chu due to historical changes, he will definitely not have the opportunity to marry Xin Xianying, a strange woman.

As for their next generation, it is even more incredible, almost all of them are famous ministers in the late Wei and early Jin dynasties, among which Yang Ku and Yang Huiyu are the most, Yang Huiyu is the wife of Sima Shi, and later was posthumously named Queen Jing by Sima Yan, who is famous for her virtuous and virtuous virtues.

Yang Ku is a person who really has both ability and political integrity, a famous general in the late Wei and early Jin dynasties, and a person who is really included in the list of famous generals in history.

It's just that in memory, Yang Ku and Yang Huiyu should seem to be born a few years later, but the life trajectory of the Yang family has changed in the past ten years, and because of Cai Yong, life has stabilized earlier, so the birth of Yang Ku and Yang Huiyu seems to be reasonable.

He didn't know about it earlier, but now he learned from Cai Yan's mouth that how could he give up this group of talents from the Yang family! (To be continued......)
