Chrysostom said
In the imperial study, Yang Xiong stared blankly at a hosta on the imperial case, this is the relic of Yu Chi Li'er, seeing things and thinking about people, he couldn't help but burst into tears, thinking of Li'er's tenderness like water, thinking of his wife's viciousness, he shouted in pain, "Li'er, I'm sorry for you!"
At this time, a eunuch reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the queen has come to ask for guilt!"
"Please?" Yang Xiong sneered, "What is her crime?
The eunuch didn't dare to retreat, how could he report to the queen, and after a while, Yang Xiong sighed, "Go and tell the queen that I am thinking about military affairs and have no time to see her." ”
"Yes!" the eunuch was about to go down, but Yang Xiong stopped him again, "Also, tell her again that I have forgiven her for that incident." ”
The eunuch went down, the queen also thanked her, the room was very quiet, Yang Xiong sat for a long time, and finally slowly wiped away the tears, and picked up a book, which was an eight-hundred-mile rapid play, which was just sent by the Turkic envoy Changsun Sheng.
Yang Xiong was slightly startled, he immediately forgot about his children's sadness and concentrated on reading.
At the beginning, Tianwu was first established, and its strength was insufficient, while the Turkic forces were strong, and they repeatedly invaded and occupied important places in the north, and the Tianwu Dynasty lost many victories.
In the second year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the Turkic 400,000 cavalry invaded, and entered the Great Wall Pass, the Tianwu Dynasty was defeated again and again, and the country was in danger on all sides, and the country was in danger.
From then on, Yang Xiong adopted the Turkic strategy of Changsun Sheng's 'distant friendship and close attack, separation from the strong and combining the weak', united the weak and small Turkic tribes, isolated the powerful wooden pole khan, and used the strategy of discord to provoke contradictions between the Turkic nobles, and finally plunged the Turks into a civil war, and finally split into the Eastern and Western Turks.
After nearly 20 years of recuperation, the north and south were reunified, the people were rich and the country was strong, and the Tianwu Dynasty had reached a period of strength.
In order to further divide, the year before last, Yang Xiong married his daughter Princess Anyi to the Turki Khan, and the eldest grandson Sheng persuaded the Turki Khan to move the tribe south to the old town of Dujin Mountain, making it a barrier for the imperial court.
Today, I don't know what the meaning of the 800-mile expedited sent by Changsun Sheng? Yang Xiong hurriedly read it, and said that the Tuli Khan had discovered that the Dulan Department was manufacturing siege equipment on a large scale, and it was very likely that he would attack Datong City.
At this moment, the eunuch came to report again, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Yang asks to see you." ”
Yang Su came just in time, Yang Xiong nodded, "Xuan He will meet you." ”
After a while, Yang Su hurriedly walked into the imperial study and knelt down to Yang Xiong, "Minister Yang Su pleads guilty to Your Majesty!"
Yang Su was very nervous in his heart, he had quietly asked the guards just now, his grandson had stolen into the West Inner Garden to hunt, which made him secretly surprised, although this was not a big crime, but Yuan Ba appeared in front of the saint with a bow and a knife, it was never a good thing, if the saint didn't care about it, it was fine, but if the saint didn't care about it, he couldn't tell it a little.
Yang Su secretly glanced at Yang Xiong, and saw that he was in deep thought, and his heart was even more uneasy.
At this time, Yang Xiong had already woken up from his contemplation, and he smiled, "What is Yang Aiqing's crime?
Yang Su stood up uneasily, Yang Xiong glanced at him again, remembering that Yuan Ba said that there were only five hangings of money a month, and in a remote place, there might be no problem, but this is the capital, how can three people survive on these five hangings.
Yang Xiong said lightly: "Yang Aiqing, I remember that I have rewarded you with a lot of wealth over the years, and I have rewarded you with more than 100 hectares of land alone, I am not mistaken!"
Sweat flowed down Yang Su's back, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is very kind to the minister, and the minister remembers it in his heart. ”
"Well, that's not my problem. ”
Yang Xiong smiled slightly: "That is, the rules of your mansion don't seem to be very reasonable!"
Yang Su wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, "Yes, the minister neglected the housekeeper, so that the family affairs disturbed His Majesty, and the minister is guilty." ”
"There is no crime in sin, it's just that I like Yuanba very much, brave, honest, and more filial, a ten-year-old boy still knows how to support his nursing mother and weak sister, so that I am really moved, and I am very similar to when I was young, I am very close to him, Yang Aiqing, this child I have taken a fancy to him, you train him well for me, I hope he can become the second Yang servant in the future, do you understand what I mean?"
Yang Su couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart, of course he understood that the meaning of the saint was to let Yuanba inherit his career, which was the opening of the golden mouth by the saint, which meant that their Yang family could continue to be favored.
"The minister will never fail the grace of the saint, and he will definitely cultivate the Yuanba into a talent. ”
Yang Xiong glanced at him meaningfully and smiled, "Okay! ”
Yang Xiong took Changsun Sheng's recital, "I want to discuss the Turkic matter with you again." ”
Yang Xiong instructed the eunuch again, "Go and invite Gao Xiangguo too!"
Yuanba first went to Liren City, sold the wild boar and pheasant, got fifteen hangs, the harvest was not bad, when he returned to Yangfu, it was already dusk.
Seeing the Shangyuan Festival, the Yang Mansion was also extremely busy in the past two days, and all the clansmen were busy arranging lanterns, and when they walked to the gate, they saw the fourth uncle Yang Jishan directing several family members to hang four big lanterns.
In recent years, because Yang Xuangan, Yang Xuanxian, Yang Xuanzong and other sons-in-law have all been officials outside, and Yang Jishan is the eldest in the family, he has gradually begun to be valued, especially Yang Su's stepwife He Ruoyunniang and Xuangan and other sons have a very stiff relationship, so He Ruoyunniang intends to reuse Yang Jishan, so that Yang Jishan gradually becomes the big housekeeper of Yang Mansion.
In the past, his family called him Shiro, but now they call him 'Fourth Master' to show his respectful status, Yang Jishan saw Yuanba from afar, but pretended not to see it.
Among all the juniors, he is only a little afraid of Yuanba, and he will not treat him preferentially, but he also does not dare to make things difficult for him, and he never ignores him.
Yuan Ba hated Yang Ji when he was a child, but as time went by, the hatred in his heart gradually faded, and he stepped forward to say hello with a smile, "Fourth uncle, do you want me to help?"
"No need, you go get busy!"
Yang Jishan replied lukewarmly, and then turned his head to pay attention to the hanging lantern, "Be careful, this lantern is precious, don't break it." ”
Yuanba was not angry, at this time, a fat and tall young man walked out of the door, dressed in a brocade robe, with a golden crown on his head, quite fat and majestic, he said to Yang Jishan in an urn voice: "Dad, give me five hanging money." ”
This young man is Yang Jishan's youngest son Yang Wei, who has been Yuanba's sworn enemy since he was a child, but since Yuanba learned martial arts, he basically has nothing to do with him, he heard that Yang Wei is also in Yangfu Lianwutang middle school martial arts, this kid is quite powerful, Yangfu martial artist is called Zhao Boming, and he is also a famous martial artist in the capital, praising Yang Wei for his talent, carefully building a foundation for him, teaching him to learn martial arts, five years later, Yang Wei has become a leader of the younger generation of Yangfu.
However, his temperament is difficult to change, he first claimed hegemony in private school, extorted money from other Yang children, in the past two years, his father's status has risen, he is even more arrogant, bullying the weak, he is especially favored by his grandmother He Ruoyun Niang, but whenever someone sues him, he will be suppressed by He Ruoyun Niang, making him more fearless.
Yang Jishan frowned, and said to his son unhappily: "Didn't you just give you twenty yuan a few days ago? ”
"Dad, I'm going to buy medicine, and there are still a few key medicines to practice the pill, and I don't have enough money. ”
"!"
Yang Jishan was even more angry, "Your master only sent three hundred pills of pills in the morning, saying that it is enough for you to use for a month, don't try to lie to me, go! I don't have any money for you." ”
Yang Wei stomped his feet with hatred, "If you don't give it, you won't give it, I asked my grandmother to go." ”
He walked down the steps angrily, Yang Jishan snorted and scolded him in the back: "You dare to ask your grandmother for money, I will break your legs!"
Yuan Ba had no interest in the father and son, and continued to walk, he could not enter through the gate, and had to go through the west gate to return home.
But after walking a few steps, he saw Yang Wei leaning against the wall of the mansion, his eyes squinting at him, as if he was waiting for him, and Yuan Ba ignored him and passed in front of him blindly.
"Stop!"
Yang Wei shouted at him, Yang Wei is extremely tall and fat, taller than Yuanba, five years ago Yuanba went to the family school, that is, he fought with the fifteen Yang children he led and was expelled by the family school, since then Yang Wei has rarely seen Yuanba.
Because Zhang Xutuo's teaching Yuanba to learn martial arts was extremely secretive, the Yang family was concealed, and even Yang Wei didn't know, but he had heard about Yuanba hunting and making money.
He stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop Yuan Ba, "I don't care about you bullying me when I was a child, but you have to take a sum of money to atone for your sins." ”
