Yang Yi returned to Cining Palace, sat on the chair, thoughtfully, and looked at the water pavilion in front of him.

"Yi'er, do you have something on your mind?"

Yang Guizhi came out and looked at his thoughtful niece, frowning slightly.

"You're drinking again!"

"Auntie, your complexion looks much better."

Yang Yi was noncommittal and snorted.

I have to say that although my aunt is over the age of six, she has a keen sense of observation and is not comparable to ordinary people.

Drinking by themselves, Zhou Xiuniang and Cuizhu knew about it, but they just didn't say anything. What does it mean?

"If you have nothing to do, the wind and waves are calm, and you are naturally calm."

Yang Guizhi sat down, she looked at Yang Yi, and let the latter sneer.

"Auntie, don't look at people like this, it makes me feel weird."

"You've been hanging out outside for more than half a year, and you've spent a lot, right?"

"Auntie, you know that."

Yang Yi was a little embarrassed.

She was short of money, and she borrowed more than Ge Hong, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"Ge Shangshu came to me once, and I will help you repay the 3,000 yuan you borrowed. There is also the two thousand yuan you took in the Wu Mansion, and you don't have to pay it back. ”

Yang Yi has gone out to borrow money, and the dowry on hand must have been spent.

"Thank you, auntie."

Yang Yi said, a little embarrassed, and his heart was much more relaxed.

In the past, Wei Jinyu and Zhenzhidao were in Lin'an City, eating, drinking and having fun, and these two gentlemen paid for it, and the others looked at their aunt Yang Guizhi's face and flattered them. Now he owes Ge Hong 3,000 yuan, and he is chasing him to the palace.

The Yang family, have you lost ground? How did it get to be the way it is?

"Yi'er, what do you tell Cuizhu to do?"

"Auntie, do you know that?"

Yang Yi looked at his aunt in surprise.

What just happened, I was caught by my aunt. It seems that in the palace, my aunt has a lot of ears and eyes.

"I've been here all my life, what I don't know?"

Yang Guizhi looked at Yang Yi, and unconsciously his face turned pale.

"Cuizhu used to be my maidservant, but she is now the emperor's woman, you have to pay attention to proportion, don't call her and go. Cuizhu is sensible and doesn't care about you. She is your aid in the palace, you have to treat her well, don't treat her as a subordinate. You know? ”

"Got it, aunt!"

Despite his reluctance, Yang Yi nodded.

Cuizhu is just her aunt's maid, and she also knew Zhao Hong first, but Cuizhu became the emperor's concubine first.

"Also, Cuizhu's family is poor, there are many brothers and sisters, and she has to subsidize the family, so don't be embarrassed for her. I'll give you some money, and you can give all the accounts outside. ”

"Then I'll thank my aunt!"

A smile immediately appeared on Yang Yi's face, and after a while, his brows furrowed, as if he was worried.

"The emperor brought back a Xixia princess from Shukou, and he was very interested in that Taizhou beauty. Are you worried about this? ”

Observing words and feelings, Yang Guizhi keenly captured the changes in her niece's mood.

Li Wei is a princess of Western Xia, and was brought back to Lin'an City by Zhao Hong, and it is known to all dynasties. This matter has also been introduced to the palace, and she has also seen Li Weiming a few times, and she is graceful, and she can indeed be a harem concubine.

As for Jia Bijin, it is thrilling and soft, the emperor is a man, and it is strange that he is not moved.

"Yes and no. I just feel annoyed. ”

Yang Yiyan couldn't help but say a word, and the sorrow on his face couldn't be hidden.

There are more and more women around Zhao Hong, including the princess Li Weiming of Western Xia, Jia Bijin, the daughter of Xungui, and Cuizhu sent by her aunt. She felt that she was dispensable, and she didn't seem to be so valued by Zhao Hong.

is like Cuizhu, who followed Zhao Hong, and slept only a few times, with good rules and regulations, and a boring life.

Is this what she wants?

"I only see the new people laughing, but I don't see the old people worrying. Zhao Hong is a king, how can there be only one or two women around him. You've been married yourself, and you're not young, don't you count it yourself? ”

Yang Yi couldn't help but be stunned and avoided Yang Guizhi's gaze.

"It's not that my aunt said you, you are not as young as Li Weiming, take advantage of Zhao Hong's good treatment of you, take advantage of your good body, hurry up to enter the palace, and have a few more children with Zhao Hong. Mothers are more expensive than children, and Zhou Xiuniang is an example. ”

"I can choose to leave, I don't have to follow him."

Yang Yi paused for a moment, still making the last hard mouth.

I and Zhao Hong are in love, how can I say it from Yang Guizhi's mouth, I am like a prostitute waiting for a price, I have to please a man.

"Of course you can leave. You ask yourself, you spend all day drinking, eating and wearing, except for the Great Song Emperor, who can satisfy you? To be honest, you are pampered, just eat, drink and have fun, nothing else, do you have a choice? ”

Yang Guizhi's words gave Yang Yi a headache.

"Auntie, the concubine in the palace, give so much money every month. I entered the palace, can I spend all day drinking? ”

Zhao Hong asked the palace to be thrifty, and it was strictly forbidden to be extravagant, Zhou Xiuniang's food and clothing were simple, and the rest of the concubines would not be above Zhou Xiuniang.

However, Yang Guizhi's words woke up the dreamer.

Zhao Hong treats him well, but she may overestimate her status in Zhao Hong's mind.

"100 a month, eating and drinking without spending money, you are not enough? Moreover, there are rewards in the palace. Aunt wants to remind you, either leave Zhao Hong, or let him welcome you into the palace as soon as possible. In any case, you have to change your bad habits, or you will regret it sooner or later! ”

Yang Guizhi solemnly told his niece.

Yang Yi was silent, obviously resisting in his heart, Yang Guizhi's tone changed, and he returned to political affairs.

"The emperor and the Western Xia family, although he brought back the princess of the Western Xia, if he wants to use troops against the Tatars, I'm afraid it will not be so easy."

Implementing the New Deal, establishing the Jinling Lecture Hall, training and dispatching generals, and casting firearms, everything Zhao Hong did was to cope with future wars.

From now on, it is to fight with the Tatar army.

"Bold! Do they dare to obstruct the emperor's use of troops? ”

Yang Yi was shocked again.

Those ministers in the court who can only be in the wind and snow, do they dare to disagree with the emperor's use of troops?

"Zhao Hongcheng's mansion is extremely deep, and he does things without leakage. However, the ministers in the court are not vegetarians. Their pots and jars are all in the southeast, and they won't get anything if they win, and once they lose, they will lose the most. Do they want to fight, you think? ”

In the Great Song Dynasty, most of the ministers were lords and factions, enjoying glory and wealth. Zhao Hong wants to fight the Tatars, who are in full swing, and I'm afraid that few people will agree.

"I see!"

Yang Yi suddenly realized, and said a stupid sentence in his mouth.

"It's best that the emperor can't send troops, and when the time comes, the Western Xia will be wiped out by the Tatars, and see how many days that Western Xia princess can be arrogant?"

Yang Guizhi looked at the gloating Yang Yi in surprise, secretly surprised.

Speaking of jealousy, the women of the Yang family do not have a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Follow Zhao Hong well, don't be jealous, and don't toss around. Auntie, a hundred years later, the glory and wealth of the Yang family depend on you! ”

Yang Guizhi admonished Yang Yi, and his words were serious.

It's rare that the emperor likes Yang Yi now, and if he doesn't seize this opportunity, the Yang family will have no future.

"The emperor used all the upstarts, the Zhou family, Xu Liang, Tian Yi, and those martial artists in Jinling who spoke of martial arts, no one in the Yang family was in the court, and the power was not even comparable to Xue Ji Xuanxuan. If the Yang family wants to gain power, I'm afraid it will be difficult! ”

Yang Yi shook his head and said sincerely.

Once upon a time, Yang Jiaxuan was extremely powerful, cooking oil with fire, and even Shi Miyuan, the minister of power, was afraid of three points, not to mention those big and small officials in the court.

Now, who in the world doesn't know that since the palace was successful, the Yang family has lost power.

Yang Guizhi's heart was lost, silent, and looked at the distance in a trance.

The Yang family has no outstanding talents, and there is no one in the court. The fate of the Yang family seems to be doomed.
