Chapter 34 The Reader

Recommended: Witch Doctor Awakening.

"Old minister...... Got it, tomorrow...... The old minister will go to court. ”

Yang Tiandong still spoke, his tone sounded very indifferent, but when he said this, it was as if he had spit out his last remaining strength, and there was no trace of light in his withered yellow eyes.

"Thank you, Elder." Mu Zhixun immediately showed joy on his face, and even gave Yang Tiandong a look regardless of the identity between the monarch and the minister.

Since Yang Tiandong had agreed, there was no need for Mu Zhixun to stay any longer, just as he turned to leave, Yang Tiandong suddenly called out to him, "...... Your Majesty. ”

"Is there anything else going on?" Mu Zhixun turned his head.

"Old minister...... There is one thing to ask for. Yang Tiandong sat up with his arms supporting his body, and his flushed face was full of obsession.

Mu Zhixun hurriedly walked back and sat on the side again, he looked at Yang Tiandong with concern on his face, "Pavilion Elder and speak slowly. ”

"Su Su, quickly salute Your Majesty." Yang Tiandong raised his right hand with difficulty and pointed to the woman on the side.

Although the woman was a little surprised, she immediately knelt in front of Mu Zhixun after hearing the sound, she put her hands in front of her forehead and slowly kowtowed: "The courtier Yang Susu has seen Your Majesty. ”

"Ge Lao...... What does that mean? Mu Zhixun was a little puzzled, because when he came in just now, this woman had already knelt down to him, why did she kneel and bow again?

"Your Majesty, she is the granddaughter of the minister, she grew up by the minister's side since she was a child, and now she is a peach and plum...... But he hasn't been married yet, cough ...... Ahem, the minister thought...... I want His Majesty to give her a home. Yang Tiandong's begging expression looked embarrassed and embarrassed.

From ancient times to the present, getting along with the royal family is generally a royal marriage proposal or draft, and few courtiers take the initiative to marry the royal family, especially the woman.

But Yang Tiandong said these words directly today, his sincere tone was almost pleading, and his cloudy eyes flashed with a grandfather's infinite love for his granddaughter.

"Ah Weng ......" Yang Tiandong's words made Yang Susu burst into tears, and she could hear that Ah Weng was ...... Tuogu.

In fact, Mu Zhixun noticed this woman from the moment he entered the door, and his gentle and dignified appearance made him always want to look at her from time to time.

At this moment, he could scrutinize this woman.

The top of her head is combed with a simple hanging bun, which is incompatible with the Lingyun bun and flying bun that are popular among women in Beijing nowadays, but the simplicity reveals a dignified and gentle style that ordinary women do not have, her clear eyes and neat eyebrows appear stable and intelligent, and the slender nose bridge makes people feel down-to-earth and reliable.

Then Yang Tiandong told Mu Zhixun about his granddaughter.

Yang Susu has been smart since she was a child, quiet and gentle, Han Mo diction, can do without learning, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, proficient in everything, sensible, self-motivated, diligent and studious, she is much better than her father, uncles and peers.

"It's a pity...... It's a daughter. Since she was a child, every time Yang Tiandong praised her talents, she often couldn't help but sigh like this.

Speaking of Yang Tiandong, he has been different from others since he was a child, he was literate at the age of three, he wrote at the age of four, and at the age of six, he was already able to understand the righteousness of the Six Classics, and the name of the prodigy was unknown to everyone in his hometown of Tengzhou in the south.

In that era, fifty or sixty years old was still taking the Xiucai test children everywhere, but he was admitted to the Xiucai at the age of twelve, at the age of fifteen, at the age of twenty, he had already entered the Shi and the first, and became the youngest Daning official in the Taizong Dynasty, with good intelligence and ability, his career was smooth sailing, when the Zhaozong Dynasty he entered the highest authority in Daning - the cabinet, after Emperor Ning that is, Jingzong ascended the throne, he was promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet, and now he has been sitting in this position for thirty-one years, which can be described as a very human minister, Have students all over the world.

However, his sons are more and more angry than one another, and what makes him most angry is his eldest son Yang Jikai, that is, Yang Susu's father, Yang Tiandong is bent on letting his son take over his burden one day, at least he can have a place in the court of Daning.

But Yang Jikai is a wild crane who naturally likes to travel through mountains and rivers and recite poems.

One is full of hope for Jackie Chan, the other is yearning for freedom, the contradiction between father and son continues to intensify, and finally, in the second year of Yang Susu's birth, Yang Jikai and Yang Tiandong completely collapsed, and the helpless Yang Jikai left his wife and children and left Beijing angrily.

It is still unknown where he is, whether he is dead or alive.

Since Yang Jikai left, Yang Susu's mother was depressed due to excessive longing, and soon died, poor Yang Susu had no parents when he was still in infancy, so he grew up beside his grandfather Yang Tiandong since he was a child, which is also the reason why their grandfather and grandson have such a deep relationship.

Perhaps only Yang Tiandong himself knows how many tears he has secretly shed for this granddaughter over the years.

After Yang Tiandong finished talking about the misfortune of his family over the years, his tears were almost gone.

Now that Yang Tiandong already knows that his life is short, if he entrusts her to those uncles who are mercenary and have no long things, he will definitely not be at ease.

For the most beloved granddaughter in my life...... He Yang Tiandong was willing to offend the world.

"Hurry up." Mu Zhixun helped Yang Susu up, and said to Yang Tiandong on the side in a serious voice, "The elder of the pavilion just rest assured that he is recuperating, and Su Su's business is ...... Don't bother with Lao Ge. ”

"Your Majesty......" Yang Tiandong wanted to speak and stopped, his heart ...... Ann.

Yang Tiandong knows...... The best reward is tomorrow's early pilgrimage.

Then, Mu Zhixun left, and when he came to the door of the house, he still glanced back at Yang Susu as if he was nothing, but there was no sadness or joy on his face.

"Aong...... Susu don't leave Ah Weng...... Su Su wants to serve Ah Weng for the rest of his life. Yang Susu couldn't hold back any longer, she lay in front of Yang Tiandong and cried heartbreakingly.

"Silly boy, the girl's family is going to marry after all." Yang Tiandong, who was angry, looked at his little granddaughter with pity, "Ah Weng has been the first assistant for half his life...... is also a very good minister, but a courtier is a courtier after all, even if you are old...... I still have to be scolded by the scholars of the world because of His Majesty's words. ”

"Isn't it reasonable for Your Majesty to posthumously crown his biological mother as the Queen Mother? Why is it that if you support him, you will be opposed by the people of the world? Yang Susu complained dissatisfiedly.

"The rights and wrongs of the royal family cannot be viewed with ordinary reason, only those who have been set up as queens or concubines before are eligible to enter the queen mother, this is a rule and a face, and it has nothing to do with whether she is the biological mother of His Majesty today, not to mention that she is still a palace maid who was beaten into the cold palace by the first emperor, and this is to trap the first emperor in injustice." Yang Tiandong shook his head, and turned to look at Yang Susu hopefully, "But you are different, you are from a famous family, you are the granddaughter of Shoufu, after entering the palace, you will naturally have a title, and with a title, you are a member of the royal family, then you will become a master, not like Ah Weng, after all, you are still a slave." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Awn! Yang Susu was still crying, she cried for Ah Weng's worthlessness, she cried for her own misfortune.

"Don't worry, Ah Weng has helped Your Majesty so much, Your Majesty will not treat you badly." Yang Tiandong, who was on the sickbed, stroked the top of Yang Susu's head, looking at this granddaughter who was most like him, he smiled with relief, "My daughter's house is my daughter's house...... After all, it's still much better than those bastards. ”

The next morning, the Imperial Forest Army on duty between Chongyang Gate and Xiaohe Hall were all stunned, Yang Tiandong, who had been in the Dynasty for nearly half a year, went to the court again, unlike in the past, today he only wore court clothes and did not wear a crown, and a white silk was tied on the top of his head.

His trembling steps and death-threatening expression were intimidating.

"I've seen Elder Ge."

"Good old man."

"How is the old man in good health? Pavilion Elderly? ”

"Ge Lao, this is ......"

No matter how his colleagues around him called him, he didn't seem to hear or see, and just walked towards the Xiaohe Palace.

In the vermilion hall, Mu Zhice sat on the dragon chair, he looked at Yang Tiandong who moved into the hall step by step from the palace gate, and his eyes changed from the initial confusion to the later understanding.

"Minister Yang Tiandong begs His Majesty to posthumously establish the Tang clan as the Empress Dowager of Daning!" Yang Tiandong walked to the center of the main hall and knelt heavily there, his deep and powerful voice resounded through the hall, and his strength did not resemble that of an old man who was dead in his old age and seriously ill.

Then he slowly raised his head again, and said: "The monarch's father is above, and the ministers should relieve their worries for the monarch's father, the filial piety of the monarch's father is the first filial piety in the world, as a courtier, he assists the monarch to help the good and curb the fear of filial piety, and now His Majesty is filial, how can the ministers stop it in every possible way......"

Yang Tiandong's words made some ministers stunned, and they didn't know why Elder Yang Ge, who had always been the most particular about etiquette, would say today's seemingly high-sounding but actually lost the most basic dignity of a scholar.

In the eyes of those colleagues, he was slandering the Lord!

However, after all, Yang Tiandong has been a role model for the world for so many years, and his prestige in the court is naturally self-evident, and for a while, the insistence of many ministers present began to waver.

"Is there only one in the world who can understand my sorrow?" Mu Zhixun's eyes were red, and there was a hint of threat in his questioning words.

Seeing that the ministers began to hesitate, Mu Zhixun immediately asked, "Then who else disagrees with the elder's request?!" ”

Sure enough, the united front between the ministers yesterday had been broken by Yang Tiandong, and none of the hesitant ministers responded.

"The minister disagrees!" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu glanced at Yang Tiandong, who was kneeling on the ground, with a resentful face, and said righteously: "The minister is still yesterday's opinion, and it is inconsistent with the etiquette law to make the Tang clan the queen mother. ”

Seeing this, Mu Zhixun snorted coldly, "Okay...... Does anyone else disagree? ”

As soon as the words fell, the ministers knelt down a few officials of the Ministry of Rites sporadically, and their frightened and unconfident expressions were like yesterday's indifferent and indifferent judgments.

"It seems that you are bent on making peace with me...... It is against the filial piety of this world. Mu Zhixun said coldly.

Although he invited Yang Tiandong in advance, he had already expected that there would definitely be a few thorns who insisted on opposing it, but this situation would not be difficult for him, since they could no longer represent everyone's position at this time, it would be much easier for them to deal with.

"Imperial City Envoy!" Mu Zhixun said sharply.

The captains of the two teams of Imperial City Divisions rushed into the main hall when they heard the sound.

"The minister is here." Zheng Guan asked the people of the Imperial City Division to wait outside the palace in advance.

"Drag these chaotic ministers outside the Chongyang Gate and beat them hard until they agree!" The change in the whole situation brought about by Yang Tiandong's addition made Mu Zhixun lose the patience of yesterday at all, just one word "fight".

As soon as the words fell, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and the others were directly dragged out of the main hall by the people of the Imperial City Division.

After that, things were simpler, and in the wails and heavy blows that came from time to time, the matter of establishing Tang as the queen mother was successfully determined.

Today's Mu Zhixun is naturally pleased, because he finally justified his mother's name, this seems to be a contest between the monarch and the ministers on the surface, but it is actually a contest between the imperial power and the system, and finally ended with the victory of the imperial power, those Confucian protΓ©gΓ©s who are depressed and helpless are as if they wilted, but Mu Zhixun really didn't lose anything? Not necessarily.

In fact, he lost something else, which is something called "human heart".

Yang Tiandong's eyes were blank, and only after a while, the aura and majesty he had just now dissipated, and his godless eyes and staggering steps looked like a walking corpse.

"Hey, what's wrong with Elder Ge today......"

"I can't imagine that Elder Ge would say such a thing, it's ridiculous!"

"It seems that people will get confused when they get old......"

"Hey, it's the adults who are miserable in the Ministry of Rites."

The nameless wind raised the dust of Nangong, and also raised the old hair between Yang Tiandong's sideburns, his blurry eyes looked desolate and helpless, and in the whispers and dissatisfaction of the ministers around him, he moved towards Chongyang Gate step by step without saying a word.

At this time, several adults lying on the wooden bench had been beaten to a blur of flesh and blood, and most of them had passed out, and the Ministry of Rites, who was still a little sober, saw Yang Tiandong walking by, and he immediately scolded: "Yang Tiandong! You've been reading poetry for decades! You are not worthy to be a reader...... You don't deserve to be a reader! ”

After hearing this sentence of the Ministry of Rites, Yang Tiandong stopped, and he suddenly let out a wild laugh when he stopped in front of Chongyang Gate, the bloody laughter sounded very scary, it was a very uncommon laugh, a kind of laughter that every time he laughed, Yangshou would decrease.

Literate at the age of three, Tongwen at the age of six, Xiucai at the age of twelve, Jinshi and the first at the age of twenty, ranked first in the first assistant for thirty years, and had a smooth career in sixty years. Is it for the common people in the world, or for the sake of the country, or for their own reputation? Yang Tiandong couldn't answer.

Because he knows...... He didn't get anything.

When Nian Prospect Zong died, the entire people of Yunjing gave him a funeral, but when Yang Tiandong was sick in bed, except for Mu Zhixun, only those who wanted to befriend him came to visit him.

As for the country of Daning, it is still the country of the Mu family, and it has nothing to do with his Yang family.

And this only remaining reputation, the adult has just said, he ...... Not worthy of being a reader!

A crow landed on the vermilion wall, the cry was very uncomfortable, and the blue-gray stone bricks were splashed with turbid blood, which Yang Tiandong spat out.

That day, Yang Tiandong failed to get out of the Chongyang Gate of Nangong.

On that day, Nangong died two first-class officials, one was Yang Tiandong, the other was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, one did not close his eyes until he died, and the other did not say a word of begging for mercy until he died.
