Chapter 0044: Mysterious Old Man

After preparing the gifts and carefully preparing them, Yang Yi came to Shangguan inside and outside, accompanied by the loyal slave Yangda.

Like later generations, the Han family more than 2,000 years ago also had some unique powers of aristocracy.

For example, since the ninth year of Emperor Gao, the curfew in Chang'an City began to be implemented, and even the two palaces of Weiyang and Changle had to close the palace gates on time.

For another example, the more than 20 million people of the Han family strictly abided by the system of 'the people are seventeen and the first master, and the families are separated', and none of the meritorious lords and nobles have obeyed it.

——This point can be seen from the fact that Yang Yi divided his own household and set off a lot of wind in Chang'an.

This matter was even understood by some second generations of moths as a political gesture made by Yangcheng Yan for the sake of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!

After learning of this situation, even Yang Chengyan himself felt helpless.

But Yang Yi is happy to see it happen.

——In the final analysis, Shaofu's first job is still the personal butler of the Son of Heaven.

As a young minister, the first thing Yang Chengyan needs to have is not how good his professional ability is, but his absolute loyalty to the imperial family, especially to the emperor himself!

In this way, keeping a little distance from the hundred officials of the foreign dynasty and the meritorious marquis is a good thing for Yang Chengyan.

In addition to ignoring the curfew and the first edict, the Han aristocratic class also had a privilege that was visible to the naked eye.

This privilege, Yang Yi, who came to Shang Guan's inside and outside, had already seen it with his own eyes at this time.

"The Manhattan community of the beautiful country of the future is probably nothing more than ......"

As far as Yang Yi could see, at the street intersection inside and outside Shangguan, almost every thirty breaths, a team of more than ten armor soldiers would pass by!

Within a few dozen steps of the entrance of Shangguanli, there are more than a dozen fixed-point sentry posts, which are manned by soldiers of the Northern Army who are fully armored and holding halberds to protect the safety of Shangguanli at all times!

Even the streets in Shangguanli were spotlessly clean, and not even a stone could be seen.

Although such a strict security is also related to the arsenal built not far north of Shangguanli, it can still reflect what kind of prominent families live on this street.

"I don't know that a hundred years later, how many of these hundreds of meritorious marquis and nobles will survive today......"

Secretly let out a slightly sour sigh, Yang Yi stepped forward, checked his identity with the armor at the entrance of the alley, and stepped into Shang Guanli.

·

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but the Yang Servant is actually stronger again?"

Listening to the ridicule of the old man Huafa, Yang Yi couldn't help but smile shyly, and arched his hand back: "The old man torments the juniors; The younger generation is not as weak as the crown, and it can't really be called the word 'strong'. ”

"It's that the eldest is so old, but he still has a childish face and a tough body, and the younger generation is envious......"

Yang Yi's serious compliment suddenly caused the old man to laugh heartily, and while admiring it, he didn't forget to stroke his chin proudly.

Looking at the old man's appearance, Yang Yi couldn't help but smile softly, thinking about how to start the next topic.

The old man in front of him, in the Chang'an court of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, may not be so conspicuous.

But in his mind, the memories he gained from later generations reminded Yang Yi all the time: the person in front of him may be the only person he can trust unconditionally.

Even compared to Daddy Yang Chengyan, the old man in front of him is more trustworthy!

In the original historical trajectory, after Liu Ying's death, Lu Pheasant completely abandoned the character of the 'Queen Mother', and almost every move only cared about the interests of the old Lu family.

And when Lu Pheasant was trying to crown the children of Lu as kings and marquises, no one in the Chang'an court dared to stand up.

At that time, it was the old man in front of Yang Yi who stood up with righteous words, not only reprimanding Lu Pheasant for doing so, which violated the ancestral system of the Han family, but also supported Zhou Bo and Chen Ping, who supported Lu Pheasant all over Zhulu, and sprayed a dog blood!

Although in the end, the old man still failed to stop Lu Pheasant, and still made Lu Pheasant's children experience a happy time of 'per capita princes and generals', but the old man did not succumb to the power of the Lu family, and went directly to hang the seal, closed his door at home, and refused to wag his tail in front of the Lu family and beg for mercy!

It can be said that in the history of the death of Emperor Hui Liu Ying, the dictatorship of Empress Lü, and the dictatorship of the Lü family, the old man in front of him was the only one in the entire Han family who had eggs and the only one who defended the Liu family.

- An Guohou, Wang Ling!

Before Liu Bang died, Empress Lu asked at the sickbed: Prime Minister Xiao He is already old, after Xiao He dies, who should be the prime minister?

Liu Bang replied: Cao Shen can be a phase.

Lu Hou asked again: Cao Shen is not young, and it is estimated that he will not be able to be prime minister for a few years; After Cao Shen's death, who can take over Cao Shen?

The answer given by Liu Bang is the tomb of the Marquis of Anguo.

In a sense, it can even be said that in Liu Bang's heart, Wang Ling is the third person second only to Xiao He and Cao Shen among the 156 founding heroes of the Han Dynasty!

If it weren't for this, Liu Bang would not have designated Wang Ling before he died, and he would be the third prime minister of the Han family!

If this is the case, it can only be said that Wang Ling is a very talented and potential boss, but it does not mean that Yang Yi can trust this person.

But the broad vision of later generations allowed Yang Yi to get an accurate conclusion as early as in his previous life.

——If Xiao He, the first prime minister of the Han family, and Cao Shen, the second prime minister, are both 'smart people' who maintain relative neutrality between the Liu and Lu families, then the tomb of the Marquis of An Guo is the 'foolish loyal' of the old Liu family at the railway station!

And Yang Yi will help Liu Ying in the future, support Liu Ying to sit on the throne, and thus rule the world, what is most lacking is such a foolish loyal......

"Yang Shizhong said this, and the old man was tormented~"

Seeing the old Wang Ling laughing, he said with a smile: "The old man is only a sixtieth year, and he doesn't dare to be called the 'old man' in the yang servant." ”

"If Yang is not suspicious, he can be called it."

Feeling the undisguised closeness of Wang Ling, Yang Yi sighed with mixed feelings, and then bowed his hand again with sincere admiration.

"That being the case, it is better for the younger generation to be respectful than to obey the fate."

"Wang Weng?"

A slightly playful light call suddenly provoked Lao Wangling to laugh again, and looking at Yang Yi's gaze, it was full of love and recognition.

If outsiders enter this guest hall, those who don't know it will probably think that these old and young people are their own ancestors and grandchildren......

After a few friendly and harmonious teasing words and chatting with each other, Wang Ling's face quietly took on a trace of seriousness.

"Yang is here, I'm afraid I don't just talk to the old man?"

After teasing Yang Yi at the right time, Wang Ling put down the tea bowl in his hand and moved his upper body slightly sideways in Yang Yi's direction.

"But the matter of the emperor's mausoleum, the yang servant still hasn't understood it?"
