Chapter 30: The Feast

"Being an official?" Yang Xuan was puzzled.

"Yes." Cao Ying smiled and said: "After the prince went, the emperor regretted it and posthumously presented the emperor's title, but who was that anger directed at?" ”

"The Prince's side." Cao Ying asked herself, "Sir...... The old man should be called Ah Lang, so as not to have a skewer with Yi Niang in the future. Ah Lang has always been wronged by Jiuquan, and Yang Luo killed too many good hands in Jingtai and the palace at the beginning, and he couldn't forgive. Unless the emperor pardons him. ”

"Can you?" For Yang Xuan, Yang Luo is more like his relative.

And the old gentleman who died to honor the emperor regardless of his descendants is more like a stranger.

Cao Ying shook her head, "It's difficult." Unless...... Lang Jun is a high-ranking official. Does Lang Jun know what high-ranking officials can do? ”

Yang Xuan squinted and was silent.

This Lang Jun is not stupid!

Cao Ying has always been worried about Yang Xuan, who came from the countryside, and is secretly happy in her heart at this moment, "High-ranking officials can work together, even the emperor can't underestimate him, and sometimes he has to compromise." At that time, it will naturally be able to mediate the matter. ”

"Do you want to be a high-ranking official like the left minister?"

"Yes."

"How young is that? Is it possible that Yang Luo will live to that time? ”

Outside the kitchen, Yi Niang, who was holding a wooden basin, glanced at this side worriedly.

Cao Ying sighed: "After the Emperor ascended the throne back then, all the people around the emperor who were filial to the emperor were suppressed, and I was fortunate to have dispersed a long time ago, but even so, we couldn't go out, and we had to be careful about the follow-up cleaning." So Yi Niang escaped into the Taoist temple, the old man escaped into the countryside, and Yang Luo fled to the Southern Zhou Dynasty...... Lang Jun, we need to protect ourselves. ”

"What do you mean?" Yang Xuan heard something.

"We don't care about this group of down-and-out people, but what will happen to our children and grandchildren in the future?" Cao Ying sighed, tears seemed to flicker in her eyes, "The old man fled to the countryside in order not to affect his children and grandchildren, but a while ago came the news that the old man's children and grandchildren could not study. ”

"This ......" Yang Xuan thought of Yan Cheng, his descendants would be retaliated against by the five surnames of the family, so Zhao Sanfu has been staring at this matter recently.

"We can't be officials, we can't influence the government, and the only hope is Lang Jun."

Cao Ying's tears slid down.

"You want me to go on the eunuch journey?"

"Yes." Cao Ying said gently: "The students of Guozijian can be officials when they come out, and Lang Jun can go in, this is the will of heaven." ”

Yang Xuan pondered for a long time.

"I'm stupid ......"

Cao Ying seemed to have heard the biggest joke, "Lang Jun is stupid and may get acquainted with the Wang family?" Maybe go to the country to study? ”

Yang Xuan was a little embarrassed, "That's luck." ”

If it weren't for luck, he wouldn't have been able to get to know Wang, so he wouldn't have been able to enter the country to study.

Yi Niang walked behind him and said softly: "Lang Jun, your identity is doubtful, if you want to clear all this, you must either go to Southern Zhou or Northern Liao, or ...... Just forge a path! ”

Cao Ying stroked his beard, and at this moment he seemed to be shining with light, "Many times, luck is also a kind of strength." ”

"Let's eat."

Yi Niang went to bring out the stewed mutton, and the three of them had something on their minds, and they couldn't eat it.

"How will Lang Jun choose?"

After eating, Cao Ying and Yi Niang slowly paced in the courtyard.

"I don't know." Yi Niang sighed: "It's a little too hasty. ”

Cao Ying shook her head, "Something is wrong in Chang'an City. ”

"You noticed that, too?" Yi Niang's eyes were shining.

"Before the time of rotation, the sergeants guarding the gates were changed." Cao Ying's eyes showed a cold color for the first time, "There are also different voices within Jin Wuwei, and the five surnames of the family are reaching out everywhere. Why did the emperor change the sergeants guarding the city gates? ”

"There's only one possibility." Yi Niang sneered, "He's afraid of death!" ”

"Who can let him die?"

There was a little more schadenfreude in the eyes of the two.

"A family of five surnames, and vassals behind them."

Yi Niang lowered her head, "Do you think Lang Jun will refuse?" ”

Cao Ying shook her head, "Maybe." ”

"That'...... So what to do? The strong Yi Niang is as helpless as a girl at the moment.

Cao Ying stood with her hands in her hands and said lightly: "The old man has his own way, and I guarantee that Lang Jun agrees." ”

"What's the method?" Yi Niang clenched her fists, if this hypocrite dared to fool her, then wait for the blood to splash three feet!

Cao Ying said sincerely: "Although we have only been together for a long time, the old man can see that Lang Jun is ...... Affection. ”

Yi Niang nodded, "So what?" Do you dare to take advantage of Lang Jun's affection...... The old lady can castrate you alive! ”

Cao Ying's legs trembled slightly, "Your wisdom is not enough to discuss such a matter with the old man." ”

Yi Niang's hand grasped the hilt of the sword at her waist.

There was more evil in her charming eyes.

Cao Ying sighed, "I'll borrow your sword later." ”

"What are you going to do?" Yi Niang was puzzled.

Cao Ying rested his right hand on his neck, "You said, the old man rested the sword on his neck, and Lang Jun killed himself if he didn't agree to the old man, how about it?" ”

"You are really shameless, and you also took advantage of Lang Jun's affection."

Yi Niang smiled, "Pull harder." ”

In the room, Yang Xuan was wearing headphones.

"I don't believe what they say."

"If there is anyone in this world who can make me trust, it is Yang Luo at present."

"Yang Luo gave his ring to Yi Niang, which means that he knows what Yi Niang is going to do."

"Yang Luo originally wanted me to live in Xiaohe Village for the rest of my life, and even my wife was selected for me, the daughter of a scholar...... The scholar probably didn't want to, but his daughter wanted to be able to read and be able to run the house and teach the children to read...... Later, he gradually became a squire, which was probably arranged by Yang Luo, or my father, who I don't know who. ”

Yang Xuan was not used to touching the small headphones.

The green light is flashing.

"But I still came to Chang'an." Yang Xuan was a little distressed, "Yi Niang, they probably wanted to make a small group, with me as the leader, and then I worked hard to be an official all the way, and they assisted...... But what about after I became an official? If you want to reach the level of being able to mediate Yang Luo's affairs, let alone 20 years. ”

The green light stays on.

"I wanted to say no, and then leave Chang'an. But as long as I thought that Yang Luo was still in Nanzhou...... The people of Jingtai may not know when they will besiege him, and I will not be able to live at ease, and I will not be able to live in peace. ”

"I've thought a lot and thought of countless reasons for refusal, but there's only one reason to overturn them."

"Yang Luo spent fifteen years to take care of me, and he wasted himself for fifteen years...... Those were the best of years. He's still looking forward to it, and I know that he wants to see me safe and prosperous. ”

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Suzaku's voice came from the headphones.

"Yes!"

Yang Xuan scratched his head, "But after I made this decision, I actually felt very happy, even if the road ahead was difficult, but I felt at ease." ”

"Peace of mind." The green light flashed wildly, like a child who couldn't solve the problem and frantically beat his forehead.

Yang Xuan walked out.

He looked at Yi Niang and Cao Ying.

Said in a very calm tone.

"I promise you."

The two of them slowly knelt down under the big tree.

"I've seen Lang Jun."

Yang Xuan frowned, "Why do you want to kneel?" ”

Yi Niang said softly: "Hurry up." ”

The two got up, and Cao Ying said gently: "There must be a leader in this group of people, and it is natural to worship for the first time." ”

First ......

But how do I think you kneel very well?

Yang Xuan sighed in his heart, "There happened to be something." ”

He needed to test Cao Ying's abilities.

"Lang Jun, please speak."

"I'm studying in Guozijian now, and I have to go to Wannian County to hunt down and kill Nanzhou's secret spies. So, what's next? ”

Cao Ying barely thought about it, "Guozijian can't be lost, most of the students there have backgrounds. It's not necessary to make friends, after all, Lang Junming's background is relatively low, and the more you bow your head and make friends, the more those people look down on you. ”

+1 point.

Yang Xuan's head.

Lang Jun is becoming more and more like a leader.

Yi Niang on the side looked relieved.

Cao Ying looked at Yang Xuan gently, "The only thing Lang Jun can do in the Guozijian is to come out, by the way, how is Lang Jun's cultivation?" ”

"Okay." Yang Xuan didn't know what realm his cultivation was, but it wasn't bad.

Cao Ying nodded, "It's a little more sure of this." After the old man entered the city, he also inquired about the news, and learned that the emperor and the five surnames of the family seemed to be doing something. ”

"The current emperor is ruthless, in the later part of the reign of the empress, the current emperor led people into the palace and successfully pushed Li Yuan, that is, the current Emperor Taishang, to the throne. Two years later, he entered the palace again, and then Li Yuan abdicated as the emperor. Such an emperor does not have a family of five surnames in his eyes, and there is only power. ”

Cao Ying analyzed them one by one, "Since Li Yuan ascended the throne, he has been cleaning up the men and horses of Emperor Xuande and Emperor Wu, and the people who honor the emperor are also among them. The same is true of the current emperor after he ascends the throne. ”

"Once a son of heaven and a courtier." Yang Xuan said casually.

Cao Ying's eyes were shining, "Lang Jun summed it up well." ”

It's in the novel, Yang Xuan smiled.

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor has cooperated with the five surnames of the family most of the time, sometimes in secret. Although the emperor is the supreme, the five surnames of the family and the huge forces behind him make the emperor powerless. Therefore, the emperor's attitude towards the five surnames of the family is ...... Cooperation, confrontation, confrontation in cooperation. ”

Very clear explanation.

Yang Xuan bowed slightly.

Cao Ying said confidently: "The old man also knows that the emperor seems to be a little dissatisfied with Zuo Xiang, which is a hint. ”

Yang Xuan asked, "What hint?" ”

"The emperor has been on the throne for three years and has already gained a firm foothold, and now all he has to do is one thing...... Grab more power. It is difficult for him to shake the five surnames of a family, and the best opponent is Zuo Xiang. ”

"Zuo Xiang pulled the Wang family and the Guozijian as helpers, and there are some old things around him, but since the emperor has given a hint, the four surnames of the family are afraid that they will flock to the top, and Chang'an is about to get windy."

This is the big picture at the moment.

Yi Niang added: "The crown princess back then was the daughter of Zuo Xiang. ”

"Lang Jun is still an inconspicuous student now, and he just fishes in troubled waters." Cao Ying's eyes lit up, "Lang Jun, clearing out the Southern Zhou secret spy is an opportunity, and Lang Jun just accumulates meritorious deeds." ”

"Lang Jun is accumulating the foundation in Guozijian on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is accumulating merits in Wannian County, and when the time comes, he will be able to turn into a ...... Promotion. ”

"You all look forward to my meritorious service."

Yang Xuan seemed a little unhappy.

Cao Yinggang wanted to explain.

Yang Xuan said: "There is an opportunity right now. ”

Cao Ying's eyes lit up, "Lang Jun, please speak." ”

Yang Xuan said: "I have credit for the seizure of more than ten boxes of hidden treasures today. ”

Cao Ying's eyelids jumped, and she said cautiously: "Lang Jun, this merit ...... It's not small, but it's not big enough. ”

You clearly said that the credit is very small, don't you get it?

Yang Xuan said slowly: "But I thought about something wrong before, if I can prove that those belongings were deliberately put in, what credit?" ”

Cao Ying squinted, "If more secret spy movements can be found out in the future, there is no doubt that it will be a great achievement!" ”
