readx;
Chu Nan has been traveling abroad for a long time, and he knows a rough idea of the situation of many forces outside the Great Liang, because of Fei Ying and Jiang Muxue, he can be said to know a lot about the northwest, even the most secret and legendary Snow Mountain Temple, he has also had close contact.

However, to really put it mildly, Chu Nan didn't know much about some of the secret things in the past of Daliang, because of the relationship with the Chu family and the court's deliberate suppression of public opinion, Chu Nan only vaguely knew the inside story of the rebellion twenty years ago through hearsay.
After all these years, Shen Shi has slowly become a taboo word in Daliang, and it is rarely mentioned, and now when he heard Yang Yu say it, Chu Nan was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses.
It was not that Yang Yu was well-informed and powerful, but that he was shocked by Shen Shi's identity as a grandmaster.
A generation of military gods or traitors, Shen Shi, turned out to be a grandmaster, and was killed by Emperor Liang!
Yang Yu also knew that he was concerned about the chaos, and he lost his sense of proportion for a while, and when he saw Chu Nan squinting his eyes and contemplation, he said a little impatiently: "It's here, get out of the car quickly, is it possible that my father will come to greet you in person?"
Chu Nan smiled bitterly, and didn't care about the flattering greetings of the Yang family, and asked softly, "Yu'er, is it true?"
Yang Yu lowered his head and led the way, and snorted coldly: "The news from the palace is true or false!"
Chu Nan nodded, where the power hub of the Great Liang Palace is located, there are many noble people in it, and it is naturally one of the places with the fastest and most credible surnames in the world, after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Grandmaster, you are dead............
Yang Yu was still annoyed by the loss of words he had just made, glared at Chu Nan fiercely, and said in a low voice: "It's also gossip that I overheard, I don't know if it's true or not." In short, you should be careful yourself, don't think that you can fight and jump, and if you have a nine-grade concubine, you will feel that you are powerful and there is no one in your eyes............"
Chu Nan heard a faint sourness in Yang Yu's words again, walked side by side with Yang Yu, and said with a chuckle: "What, are you jealous again?"
Yang Yu looked at the subordinate who hurriedly walked in front of him, he was a little annoyed in his heart, and looked at Chu Nan viciously and said, "What if you are jealous? What if you like you? I am willing, you don't care!"
Saying that, he simply stopped, looked at the people around, and said with a serious face: "Whether I like you or be jealous, it's all my own business, you don't have any burden, let alone any other thoughts, I'm not Yang Lin's idiot, I didn't want to tie myself to a man in this life, it's impossible between you and me............"
Chu Nan looked at Yang Yu with some surprise, I like you have nothing to do with you, it is amazing that such an advanced concept actually appeared in Yang Yu, but it involves himself, looking at Yang Yu saying this with a serious face, the little pride just now was so uneasy, it all disappeared, and he sighed and said: "Actually, I was a little proud just now, now why do I feel a little pitiful about myself............
Yang Yu looked a little excited, lowered his head and led the way in front, and said casually: "Then what do you want? The Yang family has already married your two daughters, if you marry again, will the Yang family be shameless? Even if the Yang family is willing, do you think the one in the palace will be willing...... Hmph......"
Chu Nan was stunned, and naturally he could taste the sadness and helplessness in it, as well as the full resentment.
Yang Yu has a special status in the Yang family, his nominal parents still have to respect themselves and be afraid of themselves, Yang Yu naturally can't experience the noisy and warm family relationship between children and parents, the real father has always refused to admit himself, and even does not plan to admit it in this life, but he has been unreasonable to interfere and even arrange his own life............ This kind of taste can make people crazy just thinking about it, and Yang Yu has been silently enduring it for more than ten years, and will continue to bear it silently until he dies.
Chu Nan seemed to know why Yang Yu was so keen to quarrel and fight with Yang Lin, maybe the heartless and stupid Yang Lin could make Yang Yu feel a little bit of family affection, gently patted Yang Yu's shoulder, and said with a chuckle: "Go and report to Lin'er, remember to come back and cover me in a while, I'll go and take a sneak peek at her............"
Yang Yu slapped Chu Nan's hand away fiercely, and said disdainfully: "I don't need anyone to pity me!"
After speaking, waving the whip in his hand, the frightened subordinates dodged one after another, holding their chins high, like a swan that has always been arrogant, and slowly walked away.
............................................................ Chu Nan waved his hand a little helplessly, and made up his mind to inquire about Shen Shi in the future, he knew a lot about the outside, and when he returned to Daliang, he didn't know anything about it, so he couldn't help but say something.
It's just that the object of this inquiry is to think about it, and there are definitely a lot of people who know the inside story accurately, but there will not be many people who dare to say it clearly, and there are few people who are willing to tell themselves.
There is a good candidate in front of him, but Chu Nan really doesn't dare to ask.
Yang Shouye looked a little tired, and his waist, which was straight at all times, was also a little loose today, and he didn't mean to get up when he saw Chu Nan coming in, so he pointed to the chair and said, "Sit casually, there is tea on the table, pour it yourself." ”
Chu Nan nodded lightly, since the gesture of the old man is naturally to show closeness and regard Chu Nan as a family.
Yang Shouye glanced at Chu Nan and said with a chuckle: "What's the matter, it's not good lately, right?"
Chu Nan smiled bitterly, there has been a lot of limelight recently, but there are more big and small troubles on his body, except for Dugu Qiu, most people are cautious to keep their distance, and before Emperor Liang did not indicate his attitude, he chose to wait and see rationally, and said with a smile: "More father-in-law cares, everything is fine, as long as Mei'er is less uneasy and nagging............
Yang Shouye nodded and laughed, sighed and said: "Mei'er, it's not good like this, just like her mother, don't care if you can worry about it, you have to ask about big and small things." However, women's families, with long hair and short knowledge, don't pay attention to it, just dry it............"
Chu Nan listened to what Yang Shouye said interestingly, and also nodded with a smile.
Yang Shouye wiped the corners of his chapped eyes with tea with his fingertips, looked at the weather outside and frowned and said: "The north, the winter is dry and cold, this is still the capital, in the northern frontier and the northwest, the cold is even more powerful and even outrageous, not to mention the war, even if you go out to ride a horse, you can't go out and ride a horse, and in the extreme cold, there are people who freeze to death in the bed............"
Chu Nan had been to the Northwest and Mobei, so he naturally knew how harsh the winters in those places were, nodded and sighed and said, "Northwest, a bitter cold place, worthy of the name." ”
Yang Shouye looked at Chu Nan playfully, and said with a chuckle: "What, have you been to the northwest?"
Chu Nan's face froze, and he instinctively narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yang Shouye quickly.
Sure enough, it was an old fox, and it was so easy to dig a pit for himself to enter.
Chu Nan replied vaguely: "The bitter cold in the northwest is well-known to everyone far and near............"
Yang Shouye smiled, didn't ask, gently lifted the topic, and snorted coldly: "It's freezing in the north, and this year's weather is extremely fierce............ The sour and rotten Xiucai in the court began to shout for moving the capital again, saying that the capital is far away from the dragon vein, and there is no danger to defend around, for the sake of the common people in the world and my dynasty for thousands of generations, the capital should be moved to the south, and it is best to use the Yangtze River natural danger as a barrier............"
Chu Nan smiled slightly.
The land of Daliang Longxing is in the north, and the foundation is also in the north, and the comfort and prosperity of the south are indeed covetous, but the south is full of gates, and it is too normal for the clan rules to be greater than the national law, and the influence of the royal family is not strong or complete.
It's just that now Daliang has a vast territory and a lot of power above the court, and it can't be said that someone is taking the opportunity to cut the foundation of royal rule, but maybe someone is taking advantage of this topic to expand influence and strive for interests.
Having said that, Chu Nan still couldn't say the words that the royal family was worried and afraid, his father-in-law was a hardcore confidant of the royal family known to the whole world, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is ambitious, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and a non-virtuous monarch does not dare to ............do it."
Yang Shouye smiled meaningfully, glanced at Chu Nan and looked out of the door, sighed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty's ambition has never changed...... It's a pity that I thought that I would take advantage of the empty time to take a breath after sweeping away the Hu people, and there would be foreign intrusions, and the plan that His Majesty was about to implement was forced to change again, but it was a pity that there were many mediocre talents in the court............"
Chu Nan pretended not to see Yang Shouye's eyes, his face changed unchanged, and he said lightly: "There are father-in-law, Master Su Daxue, and virtuous ministers like Prince Heng, and there are unparalleled soldiers in the world outside, and the people work together, although the world is big, how can Liang be afraid of it............"
Yang Shouye shook his head and glanced at Chu Nan deeply, a little disappointed.
This is not the answer I want, my meaning is obvious enough, and I can't even get this kid's trust and refuge, so when will I not swear allegiance to His Majesty at this time?
I really don't know if this kid is too stupid or too smart.
Chu Nan saw that Yang Shouye didn't speak, and he also fell silent.
Obviously, although it seems to be some boundless gossip, at most it is General Yang's complaints about his son-in-law, and it has nothing to do with what happened to Chu Nan recently.
However, Chu Nan knew that Yang Shouye was really testing himself for Emperor Liang, and he was also trying to win himself over, as long as he completely surrendered to the past at this time, it might not be difficult to get Emperor Liang's reuse, and he would also stand with his father-in-law completely.
In the future, before his own use value is consumed, he will have a far stronger and more reliable backer than the Chu family.
It's a pity that this is not what Chu Nan wants.
Yang Shouye also seemed to be aware of his gaffe, chuckled, nodded slightly, and didn't know whether he was expressing satisfaction or emotion, and sighed and said: "The matter between you and Lin'er has been delayed for a long time, and when the recent matter is over, marry Lin'er as soon as possible...... This is also what His Majesty meant, the Queen Mother will refer to the marriage, so as to block the gossip of outsiders............"
Chu Nan nodded and smiled, slightly relieved in his heart.
These words came out of the mouth of Yang Shouye, a confidant of the Son of Heaven, not only that the Yang family wanted to marry their daughter, but also represented the meaning of Emperor Liang.
Emperor Liang finally couldn't help it, and had begun to officially express his support for himself, and he also had to start a limited number of new appointments and reuses.
