The evil young people are very energetic, but if they really want to do something, then forget it.

Cao Xiang's move is just to gather people's hearts and give these big dogs a clear signal: a court fight is about to begin, you rabbit cubs have a psychological preparation in advance, don't stand on the wrong side.

You must know that in the court disputes of the Han Empire, you can have no ability, you can also have no morality, and even, the people can say that you are a wolf, a dog, or a pig, but you are not a thing anyway......

That's okay too.

As an official, what matters is not political achievements or reputation, let alone worrying about the country and the people, and being the master of the people.

But.

Take sides.

Gongsun Hong was originally a cold man, and Qilu's hometown did not have any decent background and backer, all by his own strength, he forcibly pulled the Gongsun family into a big dog, I have to say that the old thief's combat ability is still very strong.

It's a pity that this person, once he reaches a certain position, he begins to make mistakes, and begins to let his fat ass decide his brain.

Gongsun Hong, who worshiped the prime minister, probably knew that his identity was embarrassing, so on the surface, he was very close to the world's scholars, and at the same time, he was not clear with the big dogs of the Han Empire, colluded with each other, and did a lot of bad things.

But in fact, the magnates of Chang'an City know that this Gongsun Hong is neither a scholar nor a so-called new magnate, but an out-and-out old magnate.

What does that mean?

In other words, those who have a good relationship with Gongsun Hong are not after the founding exploits of the Han Dynasty such as Cao Xiang, Fan Li, and Zhang Lian, nor are they 'nouveau riche' like Yang Chuan, but the world's families and poor families.

Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang have calculated an account, and in the more than ten years that Gongsun Hong has been prime minister, there are more than 50 people who have entered the court by relying on nepotism, among them, a figure like Zhu Maichen is one of them.

From the bottom of his heart, Yang Chuan has no ill feelings towards Hanmen.

Even, he once stubbornly believed that because of the embarrassing identity of the Han Empire, the Han Empire was in the 'middle class' of high and low, and should become an emerging force to change the Han Empire.

However, after several years of cold watching, Yang Chuan finally saw clearly.

Whether it is a powerful person or a poor family, once they gain power, Quan Teniang is a jackal, tiger and leopard, and almost in an instant, they can turn their faces and deny people, revealing their sharp and blood-stained fangs.

Moreover, once the Han Shi came to power, he was even more ferocious and greedy than the old big dogs, not only eating meat and drinking blood, but also quickly learning to knock on the bone and suck the marrow, which can be said to have become a disaster.

Yang Chuan is a cook, but now, he has to let himself be a butcher for a while......

……

"Fan Li, Zhang Lian and the others have all expressed their attitudes, and they will no longer have anything to do with Gongsun Hong," in a stone room in the Tingwei Mansion, Cao Xiang squatted at the head of the bed and reported the situation to Yang Chuan in a low voice, "In addition, the effect of Dongfang Shuo's side is not bad, and Gongsun Hong's reputation is now more smelly than that of you and me." ”

Yang Chuan lay flat on the bed, looking sickly, but his eyes were bright and bright, and he said expressionlessly: "These are all details, very important, but they can't be finalized." ”

Cao Xiang nodded: "Yes, if you want to bring down that old thief, you have to find a way to make a final decision, otherwise, he will bite back, even if you and I are a liege, we can't bear it." ”

"This scholar is poisonous."

Cao Xiang scolded a dirty word, suddenly remembered something, and asked in a low voice: "Yang Chuan, this is so good, why did you suddenly start pretending to be sick?" ”

Yang Chuan glanced at Cao Xiang: "Is it really sick!" ”

Cao Xiang said with a smile: "If you are really sick, you can still eat a leg of lamb and drink half a catty of ten grains?" ”

Yang Chuan scolded angrily: "You know a fart!" ”

Cao Xianghun didn't care, and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Yang Chuan waving his hand: "You just need to implement it according to the original plan, as for the rest of the things, try not to speak, and don't act indiscriminately, don't spoil the big thing." ”

Seeing that what Yang Chuan said was serious, Cao Xiang was also a little stunned, and couldn't help asking, "What happened?" ”

Yang Chuan groaned for a few breaths, and then said softly: "Something happened to the disease." ”

Cao Xiangmeng shuddered: "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Chuan paused and said, "The emperor nominally sent him and the great general Wei Qing to the south, but in fact, he was sent to the southwest before he arrived in the Jianghuai area. ”

Cao Xiang immediately understood: "In other words, the disease is now in the deep mountains and old forests in the southwest?" No, the Yulin Army is an elite iron cavalry, and it is not suitable for fighting in the southwest, what does my uncle mean? ”

Yang Chuan shook his head lightly: "I understand what the emperor means, the southwest land does not obey discipline, and many places are still in the wilderness, and it is indeed necessary to be conscripted and suppressed by a large army." ”

"Moreover, when I left Chang'an City when I was sick, I also made some back-up preparations and preparations, but I wouldn't suffer a big loss over there, after all, Zhuo Wang Sun in the land of Sichuan and Shu is now our own people."

"The problem lies with some people in the imperial court."

"The grain, grass, fine iron and other materials ordered by the great peasants to be requisitioned for the army were robbed halfway through, and the losses were heavy......

Cao Xiang's face gradually became gloomy, and he frowned and asked, "Didn't Gongsun Hong do it?" ”

Yang Chuan shook his head: "Although Gongsun Hong is the prime minister, he has also developed a group of dead soldiers in his hometown in Ludi, but he doesn't have the courage to rob the grain and grass of the Yulin army, and at the same time, there is no need for this." ”

Cao Xiang was silent.

Yang Chuan said that for this sake, there should be some clues and eyebrows for some things.

Sure enough, after two or three breaths, Yang Chuan said inexplicably: "In this game, let's let Gongsun Hong win." ”

Cao Xiang scolded a dirty word: "Cheap old thief!" ”

Yang Chuan chuckled lightly and said leisurely: "I was beaten by the emperor and pretended to be seriously ill because I suddenly figured out something; In many cases, winning or losing in the court is important, but the most important thing is to live.

Do you believe it or not, the day we bring down Gongsun Hong, is the day when the emperor begins to guard against and clean up my Yang Chuan?

There is one sentence that you said very right, that is, this person, once he becomes the emperor, he is no longer the original person, even if it is a father and son, it is possible, not to mention your nephew and my son-in-law.

Cao Xiang, remember my words, do our seafood business well, don't get involved in any other business, and give away all the extra 100,000 acres of fertile land under your name, and don't leave a handle for others.

In addition, your chicken, duck, goose, meat and egg business is all taken care of by others.

Before the plate is not bigger, the money, grain and land in our pockets must be dispersed and stored in many people's warehouses and cellars, which is the safest way......"

……

There are still seven or eight days left before the beginning of spring.

The water of the Qujiang River began to turn slightly green, and the Weishui, which had been refreshing for a winter, began to become turbid, and large pieces of ice flowed down the river, forming crystal clear ice walls in some very narrow river channels, and the turbid river overflowed, flowing crosswise on the vast land on both banks.

Yang Chuan quietly moved out of the Tingwei Mansion and returned to his Zhuangzi to 'recuperate'.

He doesn't care if he leaves, anyway, the open and secret battles between the old thieves in the court are like this Weishui, and they will be muddy for a long time if they are not refreshing for a month or two, but the struggle between him and Prime Minister Sun Hong is more or less disappointing.

What is the saying?

The thunder is loud and the rain is small, and this is the case.

At the beginning, how arrogant Yang Chuan was, at this moment, how disappointing it was for him to leave Chang'an City quietly, and many people in Chang'an City who had good things even began to scold their mothers: "What about the three sessions that were promised?" ”

"What about the dragon that said that the dragon fights and loses both?"

"What's the matter, Changning Hou sounds amazing, but in fact, it's just like that, being assassinated by someone?"

This kind of remark is not only widely circulated among the people, but even those big dogs in Chang'an City are secretly relieved: fortunately, it didn't get it, otherwise, I don't know how many people would suffer again.

At the same time, Weiyang Palace's reaction was also expected by Yang Chuan.

Yang Chuan did not face Gongsun Hong head-on, but quietly left Beijing after a 'serious illness', and even casually explained to Er Kuan about the investigation of the 'Gongmen Assassination Case', and it seemed that he had no intention of fighting, which made Liu Che very disappointed.

I heard that after Yang Chuan left Beijing, Liu Che's mood became very bad, he broke several pieces of glass and porcelain, and found an excuse to break his leg and cut off his head.

It is said that the white-skinned and white-haired head hung in the place where Yang Chuan was assassinated, and the cold wind blew a few nights before the beginning of spring, turning it into a terrible ice bump.

In addition, after hearing that Liu Che killed Da Changqiu of Changle Palace, he still didn't get rid of his hatred, and passed down a secret order to kill half of the prisoners in the dungeon of Tingwei Mansion......

After Yang Chuan heard about these things, he smiled indifferently and didn't say anything.

The emperor has high hopes for him, a young talent, and always wants to develop and make use of it, so that Yang Chuan can act as a stunned young man, biting indiscriminately among the old thieves in the court, which is nothing more than wanting to borrow a knife to kill people and give the Han court a 'reshuffle' in the twilight.

It's a beautiful thought.

Liu Che knew how deep the water was in the court, and Yang Chuan was even clearer......

"Yang Chuan, you admit that you lost?"

On the night when Yang Chuan moved back to Zhuyuantou Village, Princess Pingyang came overnight.

She was accompanied by Princess Nangong, Princess Longshu and Zhuo's family, as soon as she entered the door, Princess Pingyang reprimanded with some annoyance: "Two or three years ago, your cautious and cautious palace still liked it very much, which shows that you Yang Chuan is a person who can do great things, and it is worth cultivating in this palace."

But Yang Chuan.

This time, why don't you take advantage of the victory to chase and kill Gongsun Hong in one fell swoop?

You have to understand one thing, the battle between the court and the court, either you die or I live, there is never a third way for you to choose, you are my son of Pingyang, the prince's teacher, and the great peasant order of the imperial court, how can you give up the opportunity to kill the enemy so hastily? ”

Princess Longxi is also an extremely strong woman, and then echoed: "The eldest sister is right, since Gongsun Hong became the prime minister, he has been extremely deferential on the surface, and he has never provoked us royal relatives once, and even, even if some people have violated the law, he has turned a blind eye and never pursued it."

However, in his bones, he is not a person from the same road.

You are now a big farmer, and you don't know too little about the affairs of the court, you can count with your fingers, just in the more than ten years that Gongsun Hong has been the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, how many people from poor families have been recommended to be officials?

Also, the old thief even purchased no less than 200,000 acres of fertile land in the name of others in the land of Qilu, which is simply trying to rebel......"

Yang Chuan, who was lying on the hospital bed pretending to be sick, suddenly spoke: "Second aunt, are your body bones better?" ”

Princess Nangong nodded slightly, and said with a warm smile: "Fortunately, after drinking beef soup for a while, plus the few therapeutic dishes you matched for my second aunt, my body and bones can be regarded as recovering most of them."

By the way, how much have you healed from your injuries?

Let me say, Liu Yu is becoming more and more disagreeable now, how can he beat people to death with ruthless hands?

This time, if it weren't for Yang Chuan's quick body and his son's quick body and avoiding the vital point in time, he could really kick the dead with his foot, and my son would be relieved to recuperate.

Others laugh at you Yang Chuan for being a coward and a bear, but the second aunt thinks that you have made a wonderful move......

As soon as Princess Nangong spoke, even Princess Pingyang couldn't say anything, and the three sisters talked about common things for a while, and then they had to go to rest separately.

Yang Chuan finally spoke.

"Mother, second aunt, third aunt, Aunt Zhuo, please stay."

Yang Chuan sat up from the embroidered couch slowly, washed briefly under the service of the two little women, Zhiniang and Naren Tuoya, and drank two sips of tea handed over by Liu Man, and then slowly spoke: "My heart is seriously damaged, and a small life was almost lost in the Tingwei Mansion, so I suddenly looked at many things. ”

"Spring will begin in a few days."

Yang Chuan thought about it sideways, and said very calmly: "I promised Liu Man, Zhiniang and Naren Tuoya that they would get married as soon as the spring of the new year begins, and it just so happens that my mother, second aunt, and third aunt are all here, by the way, and Aunt Zhuo is also there, you still have to think about how to give me a decent wedding; As for those bad things in the court, I don't want to deal with them for a while now. ”

When Princess Pingyang heard this, they had to sit down again.

The three little women who were serving on the side had different faces, and the weaver looked at Yang Chuan in a daze, the joy in her eyes was very well concealed, and she bit her lip lightly and said nothing; Naren Tuoya looked at Yang Chuan, looked at Zhiniang and Liu Man, and muttered with some dissatisfaction: "That's right, on the grassland, cattle, sheep and livestock generally come into heat some time before the beginning of spring." ”

Liu Man's reaction was the most intense, after hearing Yang Chuan's words, the whole person became abnormal, she was about to hand Yang Chuan a bowl of tea, but she herself actually dried up a few mouthfuls of "tons and tons", and asked a little stammering: "Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun, are you telling the truth?" ”

Yang Chuan nodded, and said with a straight face: "You will go back to Chang'an City early tomorrow morning, remember, don't go back to Changmen Garden." ”

Liu Man's face immediately pulled his crotch down, and hugged Yang Chuan's arm for a while: "Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun, I don't want to go back to Chang'an City or Changmen Garden, please, let me live in our Zhuangzi, wait for you to marry me." ”

Yang Chuan: "If you want the emperor to cut off my head, follow your ideas." ”

Liu Man shut up directly.

If she enters the Yang family like this, Liu Che will definitely not say anything, but the consequences will be difficult to predict......

"By the way, second aunt, I still have something to ask for," Yang Chuan turned his head to look at Princess Nangong, and said very seriously: "Zhiniang and Naren Tuoya will live on your side first, waiting for me to marry them." ”

Princess Nangong nodded and grinned: "If you want me to say, it's better to let the three girls live on my side, anyway, Liu Yu doesn't dare to do anything to me." ”

Yang Chuan shook his head: "No, Liu Man will go back to Weiyang Palace, and Zhiniang and Naren Tuoya will go to Tai Academy with you." ”

"Also, tomorrow, let Zhang Tang, Dongfang Shuo, and Sima Qian go to Chang'an City to purchase a batch of things for the wedding, and marry the princess and the county lord, you have to pay attention to it, and you can't let people see jokes......"

……

Early the next morning, after sending Princess Pingyang and others away, Yang Chuan stood by the Weishui for a long, long time, until the sun shadow was westward, and then slowly returned to Zhuangzi.

"Childe, it's time to eat," the cousin's father walked in, bowed down and said, "According to Childe's instructions, I slaughtered a few lambs, and I will eat clear soup and mutton today." ”

Yang Chuan glanced up at the blue sky and the silly eagles in the depths of the sky, shook his head slightly, and said, "No, I won't eat clear soup mutton today." ”

"Send a message to Shuofang County and our restaurant, and say it's time to open the table."

"Today, let's eat dumplings ......"
