When the officials of Changyi walked behind the high walls of Weiyang Palace, under the cover of the night that had not yet faded, Prime Minister Yang Chang also drove towards the General's Mansion in a carriage.

Yang Chang in the car didn't sleep all night, and his spirit was a little uncomfortable.

Although he had drunk the decoction before leaving, his face still glowed with an abnormal red glow.

The wheels of the Anche ran over the uneven roadway, making a "clang" noise, which was not pleasant.

Coupled with the coughing sound of the old man in the car, everything seemed noisy and dull.

The prime minister is the nominal head of the hundred officials, and the trip should naturally have the prime minister's car, which must be very grand.

But today, Yang Chang is light and simple, and he has some intentions to avoid people's ears.

Since it is to avoid people's eyes and ears, the things to be talked about must be a little untabled.

Finally suppressed a violent cough, and Yang Chang, who was panting unevenly, slowly closed his eyes and tried his best to calm down.

The development of the Yang family was not easy, and it was really fought with a knife and a gun.

Yang Xinai, the ancestor of the Yang family, was a fierce general in the early Han Dynasty, who served as the captain of Langzhong under the command of Emperor Gao, and in the last years of the Chu and Han dynasties, he killed the overlord Xiang Yu together with Wang Peng, Lu Matong, Lu Sheng, Yang Wu and others, so he was named the Marquis of Chiquan......

Yang Chang understands that he is already old, and he may not have much residual strength, so he has to get more chips for the Yang family.

And today, perhaps, such an opportunity.

……

It didn't take long for this inconspicuous car to stop in the backyard of the General's Mansion.

As soon as the car was stable, Yang Chang was helped out of the car by the servant.

He looked up and saw that the moon in the sky had hung on the eaves, as if it had been pulled down by the eaves foot.

At this time, there are already subordinates and miscellaneous servants walking around in the Great General's Mansion, and it is estimated that it will soon be busy.

Looking at this scene, Yang Chang couldn't help but feel a little jealous, the scale of the Prime Minister's Mansion was comparable to that of the Great General's Mansion, but it was much more deserted.

After Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaojing, the Prime Minister's Mansion became less and less important in Chang'an City.

"Yang Gong came early?" When Yang Chang was stunned, Huo Guang walked into the courtyard and said from afar.

"Eh, the tired general is far away." Yang Chang shook off the servant who was supporting him and walked over quickly, his face full of flattery.

"Yang Gong can personally lift the jade toes, and the cold house is already full of brilliance." Huo Guang said beautifully, but he put one hand behind his back and the other hand on his beautiful hair, showing calmness, "This official has already prepared tea in the flower hall, please Yang Gong move." ”

"Then the old man will bother." Yang Chang walked so fast in these few steps that he almost coughed again, but he desperately pressed down.

……

In the flower hall, Huo Guang and Yang Chang sat next to each other, and a pot of tea had been brewed.

Huo Guang poured tea for Yang Chang, Yang Chang was flattered, and hurriedly picked it up and tasted it, not forgetting to flatter.

The former sits up straight, the latter moves forward.

Status at a glance.

It's just that Huo Guang is fifty-four years old this year, and Yang Chang is sixty years old; Huo Guang is the big Sima, and Yang Chang is the prime minister.

No matter from the perspective of age or official position, Yang Chang should be more respected.

However, the status of man is not determined by these false names, but by the power in his hands.

Huo Guang has the right, but the prime minister has no power.

There is the current gap.

What's more, Yang Chang used to be the military commander in Huo Guang's mansion, because he was more cautious than Huo Guang, so he was promoted to prime minister step by step.

All the way up, it is inseparable from Huo Guang's "support".

In this way, Yang Chang's flattery and flattery will not be abrupt.

……

After drinking a few cups of tea, the sky outside the window was brighter again, and Huo Guang finally felt that he had entered the topic.

"Duke Yang, I invited you over today, because there is a matter for you to negotiate, this matter is not only an official matter of the imperial court, but also a private matter of my Huo family, it is not appropriate to say it in the Shangshu Bureau, so I invited you to the mansion."

Huo Guang's handwritten letter was delivered to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, and he didn't say what it was, but just asked Yang Changmao to come at the beginning of the day.

Although the words were unknown, Yang Chang had already vaguely guessed the reason why Huo Guang invited him to come.

"It's okay for the general to say it directly, the relationship between you and me can be said bluntly." In Yang Chang's words, he pulled his relationship with the general into a little bit.

"The county officials have been enthroned, although the words and deeds of the county officials are slightly invisible, and they have no experience in governing the country, but they have the legacy of Emperor Gao and Emperor Xiaowu, and they have the leadership of Yang and hundreds of officials, and they will definitely be able to become a generation of Ming monarchs."

"The general's words are serious, the old man is in his last years, and he has long been unable to do anything, and the general is the pillar of the Han Dynasty." Yang Chang said again and again.

"In short, you are the head of the hundred officials, and I am the middle father of the county official, so you should assist the county official well."

"The general is right, the old man must be exhausted."

Yang Chang was able to correct his position, which made Huo Guang very satisfied.

"The county official has already sat down in Weiyang Palace, so it is time to arrange the affairs of the harem, and today I will invite Yang Gong to invite Yang Gong to lead hundreds of officials at the small court meeting in a few days, and propose to the county official the matter of choosing a concubine."

Yang Chang was overjoyed, and sure enough, he guessed correctly.

"Has the general talked to the county magistrate about this?"

"Naturally, it has already been discussed, and the county officials don't have too many objections."

After choosing a concubine, it is an important matter in the Han Empire, not only about the county officials, but also about the court and the world.

Huo Guang himself mentioned the matter with the county officials in the Xuan room, but he only started a head in private, and he couldn't do anything; Next, someone has to bring it up at the small court meeting; After that, it will go through several deliberations of the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government to determine the candidates; In the end, it was the wedding of the county magistrate.

Yang Chang is the head of the hundred officials, so he is naturally the most suitable candidate to stand up in the court and propose to the county officials the matter of choosing a concubine.

"Since the general and the county official have already discussed, then this matter is just a formality in the court, and on that day, the old man will stand up and play the county official."

Huo Guang nodded, even more satisfied.

Yang Chang understood that Huo Guang still had something to say, so he simply continued to ask: "The queen's candidate, can the general think about it?" ”

After a few breaths of silence, Huo Guang's condescending eyes seemed to ease a little, and he said: "It was a business matter just now, and the next thing I want to talk about with Yang Gong is a private matter." ”

Yang Chang hurriedly sat down and put on a deaf look.

"The little girl Chengjun, she has reached the age of Jilu, she has not yet married, and she is very fond of her, and she is inevitably a little arrogant, but in the ......" Huo Guang said eloquently, and the words that followed were all beautiful words.

Yang Chang must have heard of Huo Guang, a little girl, and he didn't need Huo Guang to say it, he already understood the meaning, but while he listened, he nodded frequently, and seemed to be very concerned.

After Huo Guang finished speaking, Yang Chang touched his sparse beard and said: "Ling Yan has a good temperament, beautiful appearance, and has been taught by the general, the old man thinks ......."

Yang Chang deliberately paused for a moment before continuing: "The old man thinks that he is the best candidate for the queen. ”

Huo Guang rarely showed a smile and said: "Yang Gong praised it, so that I should not say anything more in the court about the canonization of the queen, everything depends on Yang Gong's help." ”

After saying that, Huo Guang immediately raised his hand to salute, and Yang Chang also hurriedly returned the salute.

"Where is the general, you and I are just for the big man."

Huo Guang poured another cup of tea for Yang Chang, his goal had been achieved, so he had to give the other party some sweetness.

"If I'm not mistaken, Yang Gong has two sons, the eldest son Zhong and the second son Yun?"

"The general has a good memory."

Huo Guang thought for a while and said: "In the future, the eldest son will inherit the title of Marquis of Yang Gong'anping, but the Yang family has worked hard, and the second son should also have a fiefdom......"

Yang Chang immediately heard Huo Guang's deep meaning, and was immediately ecstatic, and hurriedly said: "Yang Chang bows to General Xie." ”

……

Before the sky was completely dawn, the carriage that Yang Chang was riding quietly left the Great General's Mansion.

When the carriage disappeared at the end of the alleyway, a man who had been hiding in the darkness withdrew his gaze, pulled some horses from his crotch fiercely, and galloped towards the east of the city.
