Capital, Yang Mansion.
The Yang Mansion is very lively these days... Yang Sichang is banqueting guests continuously, as if he is afraid that others will not know that Yang Shanlu is his son!
The guests he banned were all high-ranking officials and powerful people, such as those who came to the banquet, the lowest were the capital Yin, and more were the ministers, even the ministers of rituals, and the ministers of industry.
Most of these people are his political allies, and now, Yang Sichang banqueting guests is to build the road for Yangshanlu. Of course, if in the past, the protagonist of the trend would definitely be his eldest son Yang Shansong, but now... Haha !
Of course, even though Yang Shanlu has won such a great victory, he is very humble and polite. He not only holds the gift of the younger generation at the banquet, but also presents a gift to these potential allies... That is the effective fertilizer.
Because Yang Shanlu knows very well that in addition to political interests, so-called political allies can unite more closely if they have consistent economic interests.
Of course, you still need to be cautious about taking out and planting things. For example, the Hundred Flower Dew as a cash cow can never be used as a gift, but as a newly invented fertilizer, it is very appropriate.
After all, these high-ranking officials and dignitaries, almost everyone are big landlords, and they have thousands of acres or even tens of thousands of acres of land under their names, and the effect of fertilizer on the land is very suitable for them.
Of course, these high-ranking officials basically don’t touch Yang Chunshui with their ten fingers. They don’t know what fertilizer is, so when Yang Shanlu first said it, they were a bit disapproving, but looking at Yang Sichang’s face, they didn’t show it. Come out.
However, after Yang Shanlu gave a detailed introduction to the effects of fertilizing rice powder, and said that after using it, the output of grains and rice can be at least doubled, these people are all very pleasantly surprised... This is great! What is the most valuable in such a year of disasters? That's food! But now, this gift is very heavy.
Moreover, Yang Shanlu made it clear that now each family is giving away one thousand catties, and if needed in the future, they can still supply them for a long time, and only charge the cost price.
As a result, these senior officials of various ministries became very enthusiastic about Yang Shanlu, and formally accepted him into this circle.
When Yang Shanlu saw this, he was also very satisfied. Hehe, if he took out some fertilizer, he could exchange for the support of political resources, but it was quite cost-effective.
Even with Yang Shanlu's hand, even Yang Sichang was a little surprised, knowing that he didn't know what Yang Shanlu had made! But now... This hand is very beautiful! Obviously this means that he does not rely solely on the shadow of his father's generation.
In this way, the atmosphere was more harmonious. When everyone was pushing the cups and cups, suddenly the butler Yang Fu hurried in.
"Uh..." Yang Sichang's face suddenly sank. This old slave has been in the Yang Mansion for 60 years. Why is he so unruly today!
Unexpectedly, Yang Fu first accused him of a crime, and then said in a hurry: "Master, you are ready to go! A father-in-law in the palace came to declare the decree."
"What?" Yang Sichang suddenly showed a hint of joy on his face, hehe, this is the rhythm to be restarted.
Yang Shanlu is even more aware that this is what happened in history. After this meeting, he will be appointed as the Minister of War and the Governor of the whole country.
Many high-ranking officials, including those present here, all congratulated him together: "Hehe Wenwei (brother Wenwei), congratulations! With your talents, this time must be of great use! The next level is just around the corner!"
"Haha, the same joy and joy." Since they are all political allies, Yang Sichang didn't hide it. After saying that he was unaccompanied, he made another round of jokes and went down to prepare.
This time it was the eunuch in the palace who came to declare the decree. It was not the formal imperial decree, but the emperor’s verbal decree, but even so, out of respect for the emperor, Yang Sichang still let people put on incense offerings.
After doing this, the eunuch who announced the decree has entered the Yang mansion, but when Yang Sichang saw the person, he was taken aback... Generally, the eunuch in the palace came to announce the decree, but today, it was Cao Huachun!
The eunuch's palm seal!
When Cao Huachun saw his different color, he smiled at Yang Sichang and motioned to him to talk later. Then Cao Huachun stopped in front of the rockery in the courtyard and stood facing south, saying: "There is a purpose!"
Yang Sichang knelt down after hearing this.
"Shengshang's Oral: I heard that Yang Aiqing has arrived in the capital, so I'll enter the palace immediately to see you drive. You can't make mistakes!"
"Zunzhi!" Yang Sichang hurriedly bowed his head.
After the decree was completed, Cao Huachun put on a smiling face, and said affectionately to Yang Sichang: "Hehe, congratulations to Master Yang. This time, I was summoned by the emperor to Beijing. Obviously, it will be a big use. Sajia is free today, just right. Come and take a trip."
Cao Huachun is not Yang Sichang's political ally, but the relationship is still good. A clever person like Cao Huachun, seeing Chongzhen recruiting him into the palace this time, he must be promoted and reused, so he first came to the relationship.
As for Yang Sichang, he was even more exquisite. When he saw this, he smiled and handed an ingot of silver ingots before asking, "Why did the emperor suddenly be summoned by the emperor only a few days after he arrived in the capital?"
"Master Yang still knows something--" Cao Huachun just smiled: "The emperor is very happy today. Governor Chen Xinjia sent a good news! Not only was the decapitation of more than a thousand slaves! Even the old slaves were killed I heard that it was done by a place called Zhenluwei!
Tsk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk I've asked others about it, but it's just some guard troops who usually grow land, but now, tut tut... Even the disabled person like the miscellaneous family is happy to hear it! "
"is it?"
But Yang Sichang was even more happy when he heard it. It turns out that the good news has already arrived in the capital! In this case, when I face the saint later, I can do a good job of writing the article.
After sending away Cao Huachun, Yang Sichang put on court clothes and was ready to enter the palace to see him.
However, before entering the palace, he deliberately told Yang Shanlu to let him live for a few more days, and then he decided according to the situation when he came back.
Then Yang Sichang, accompanied by other eunuchs, rushed to the Forbidden City. The place where Emperor Chongzhen summoned him this time was in the Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, which was also the place where Chongzhen met close ministers.
When Yang Sichang arrived, the eunuch who served him immediately indicated that he could be seen. When Yang Sichang entered the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, he saw Chongzhen's confidant eunuch Wang Chengen standing in the room. In the middle, Emperor Chongzhen was looking at him with a smile on his face, obviously in a good mood.
"Weichen Yang Sichang has seen your Majesty, long live my emperor!" After Yang Sichang came in, he knelt down respectfully and kowtow, and then he lay down on the square brick floor respectfully, waiting for the emperor's question.
"Aiqing, please." Chongzhen said happily, and he was also looking at Yang Sichang as he spoke.
It has been two years since Yang Sichang last time with Ding You, but now it seems that Yang Sichang is still extremely healthy, with a black beard, a divine eye, and a look that can be useful. Chongzhen is even more satisfied after seeing it.
"Come on, give Yang Aiqing a seat!"
Immediately an eunuch on duty moved a brocade over there, and smiled at Yang Sichang and said, "Sir, please sit down."
Unexpectedly, Yang Sichang did not sit down according to his words, but knelt down again in the tunnel: "Weichen dare not sit! Because weichen has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"What? The crime of deceiving the emperor?" Chongzhen was taken aback, thinking that this Yang Aiqing had always been cautious and aware of things, so how could the crime of deceiving the emperor come from
Chongzhen hurriedly asked, "Yang Aiqing, then quickly tell me, how is the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Yang Sichang knocked his head again, and then said: "Weichen is guilty of deceiving the emperor. Because of the difficulties of the country, he asked his son to join the army. Before, he didn't dare to speak because he had no results. After the gain, a good news was delivered to the capital, so I dared to tell the monarch."
"What? Say so..." Chongzhen's mouth opened wide in surprise.
"That's right—" Yang Sichang said: "The unfilial son of the Weichen is the defender Yang Shanlu, who was sent by the Weichen to join the army a few years ago."
"Haha! Good you are Yang Aiqing! You can hide my suffering!"
After the Emperor Chongzhen listened, he laughed! And after thinking about it carefully, I am more satisfied with Yang Sichang... This is a great loyal minister. After a famous sect like him, he would not let his son go to the imperial examination, and be a civil official safely and securely, but sent to a dangerous one. Go to the frontier fortress!
Moreover, Chongzhen was already in the emperor's heart to Yang Shanlu, and he also found out the Yulan Announcement sent by the Ministry of War, so he remembered very clearly that Yang Shanlu was just a small armor commander in the army at the beginning!
And this is even more rare! As a minister of war, Yang Sichang didn't use power for personal gain. Instead, he let his son start from a leader and work hard step by step. Such a clean and honest service, such a division of worries for the country! It's really a role model for people and ministers.
So after sorting out the whole thing, Chongzhen was even Longyan Dayue, personally walked out of the dragon chair, and helped Yang Sichang up and said: "Yang Aiqing, you gave me a big surprise! This is also what I am today. I have heard the best news! I summon you back, and I won you Fang Xuanling, and I won another Yang family general! Your father and son are one man and one martial artist, and there is no worries in the world."
But Yang Sichang was secretly delighted when he heard it. It seems that the words just now were amazing, that's right!
With such a good start, Emperor Chongzhen personally let him sit on the brocade couch, and then the monarchs and officials began to talk freely.
And since Yang Sichang is the left servant of the Ministry of War, Emperor Chongzhen just asked: "Ai Qing, you happen to be in charge of the Ministry of War and are familiar with military awards. According to your opinion, what official position should be given to our Yang family
"Return to the emperor." Yang Sichang said respectfully: "It is reasonable to establish such a military merit, and it is all right to be a guerrilla general, but according to my unfilial son, he said he only wanted to be a defense."
"Oh, why is this?" Chongzhen wondered: "Why is he not willing to be a guerrilla general? I also hope that the bigger the official, the better, so as to protect my family and the country!"
"Going back to the emperor, the unscrupulous son of my family said that being a courtier only knows to fight the enemy bravely, not to make a fortune for promotion! And he also said that he did not want to be a great official because he would die like this , But to serve the country!"
"Good, good! Aiqing really taught her son well, and cultivated a Qi Shaobao for the country!" Chongzhen was very moved after hearing this.
Just after he tasted the taste, he was pleasantly surprised: "Yang Aiqing, according to what you said, after you returned to the capital, your father and son have already met?"
"That's right." Yang Sichang said respectfully: "Weichen was also happy after learning that the bad son had made some contributions, so he had been summoned to the capital, and he was at Weichen's house at this time."
"What? Then don't hesitate to call my Qi Shaobao into the palace!" Chongzhen was very pleasantly surprised when he heard it... It is said that since the last beheading of the 300th level, he wanted to see this Qi Shaobao! And now, they have already'self-invested in the net', so what are you waiting for!
So Chongzhen immediately ordered Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch who was standing next to him, and said: "Hurry up and send someone to Yang Aiqing's family to pass on the decree! In addition, I will order the Royal Kitchen to prepare some good dishes. At noon, I will give a banquet from the Royal Garden and have a drink with the two Aiqings!"
"According to the order." Wang Chengen, who stood by the side, took the order, and at the same time was very emotional... It seems that the father and son are already unstoppable and are about to rise! Look at this grace, tut tut...
But when Yang Sichang heard that he still wanted the Royal Garden to give a banquet, he was even more happy, or did he and his son give a banquet at the same time? Such grace is rare in the world...
However, the more this happened, the more Yang Sichang sat well, without the slightest arrogance. He is the kind of old official, who has a deep understanding of life.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw him, he was also satisfied, and then, between the two chatting, a small eunuch had already sent out and hurriedly went to Yang Mansion to deliver the decree.
And when the little eunuch who delivered the decree came to the Yang Mansion, even the concierge who was guarding the door was shocked. He actually received the decree twice in a day? This is the first time this is a breakthrough.
As for Yang Shanlu, he was staying in a specially arranged upper room at this time, recalling some of the things to be done when he entered Beijing, which is the so-called three times a day.
After receiving the decree from the little eunuch, he didn't dare to neglect. After preparing for a while, he was going to enter the palace, and this was also the famous emperor he was going to see in history.
It’s just that, when I saw that Yang Shanlu was going to face saint, the two women who had been sour for the past few days were even more jealous...
The emperor summoned the lord (father), that's all, but now? Even the abandoned son who was swept out of the house will be called into the palace
It’s just the so-called good time and place. Now Yang Shanlu is not at their mercy at the beginning, so he can only watch it eagerly. Yang Shanlu went to the palace’s special eight-carriage sedan chair, and a team of Jinyiwei guards. Under his escort, he went arrogantly.
At this time, Yang Shanlu was even more excited. After working hard for so long, he could finally meet the most powerful person of this era! I finally stepped into this circle! Be able to exert one's influence! So this opportunity must be seized!
But when the group of people came to the Forbidden City, looking at the towering buildings in front of them, Yang Shanlu suddenly stopped moving inexplicably...
The little eunuch who accompanied him was still puzzled, thinking that Yang Shanlu was afraid of the face saint, and just smiled and said: "As long as you don't do anything wrong, the emperor is still very kind, not as mysterious as it is said outside!"
In fact, how did he know that Yang Shanlu was seeing the scenery and feelings... As a later generation, he visited the Forbidden City more than once, but when he returned to 300 years ago, he saw this great building representing Chinese civilization again At that time, my heart was surging...
He seemed to see the entire Forbidden City plunged into a sea of flames when the peasant army attacked the Forbidden City. He seemed to see the little Tarzi sitting in the Forbidden City with a monkey crown after the Qing soldiers entered the Central Plains...
He seemed to see that the Chinese nation has been in misery for three hundred years since then!
So Yang Shanlu, who fell into this historical freeze, swears secretly in his heart, I do not hate Manchu, but I hate the Qing Dynasty! Hate the Eight Banners of Manchuria! Hate all the sinners who plunged the Chinese nation into the abyss of suffering!
As long as I, Yang Shanlu, will never let this tragedy happen again! Dog Tartars full of crimes, you never want to trample on our great Chinese civilization!
ps Haha, in response to the strong request of a few brothers, a chapter of nearly five thousand words is here! And the second chapter is a big chapter... (End of this chapter)
