Yang Heshu's eyes became firmer, he looked up at the starry sky and said: "Nothing is eternal in this world, and some things cannot be broken or established. I will take the initiative to take over this matter, not just for the sake of the Jin Dynasty, but also for the clan."
He was raised by his family since he was a child, so how could he have no feelings at all
What he wanted was not only the interests of Da Jin and his own future, but also the long-term future of the family.
At this time, Yang Houye was also looking up at the starry sky, and his son's words before he left rang in his mind over and over again, "In this world, apart from the starry sky, even the sea and mountains will move, and the dynasties will change, let alone our Yangzhou family." The Clan is just a clan."
Yang Houye said: "Dynasty changes often, and the family lives forever."
Yang Heshu shook his head, "Father, where did the aristocratic family come from before the Wei Dynasty? Where is the royal family in the Han Dynasty, and the six kings' families going forward? To select scholars, how many people are there who have become officials by virtue of the inspection system?"
"But most of the people who passed the Jinshi examination were our aristocratic families and noble families."
Yang Heshu looked at Lord Yang quietly.
Lord Yang had no choice but to admit defeat, "You're right, most of the people hired by His Majesty in the past few years are indeed from the Han clan, and even if there are children from aristocratic families, most of them come from side branches."
For example, Bai Shan, who is most valued by the emperor now, is from a side branch of a family, and he is still a small family.
Recently, the emperor seems to have taken a liking to the offspring of Yong Xiao's family, and has promoted several of them.
Yang Heshu said: "Father thinks there will be chaos in the Jin Dynasty in the next twenty years?"
Yang Houye thought for a while and shook his head. There were originally, but now they are gone.
Yang Heshu was finally satisfied, "As long as the crown prince is alive and healthy, the Great Jin Dynasty will be stable for the next twenty years. With His Majesty's ambition and the crown prince's ambition, how long does father think Jiangnan can remain independent?"
"Jiangnan is not independent..."
"It's about the same," Yang Heshu said, "What's the difference between being unreasonable and being independent? Now that His Majesty employs people, maybe it can be more stable. If Jiangnan is taken back after it is handed over to the Crown Prince, I'm afraid blood will flow like a river."
Lord Yang snorted coldly, "He dares! Don't forget how the previous dynasty died!"
The previous dynasty was lost by the joint efforts of these aristocratic families.
Yang Heshu felt a little headache, "Father, do you think the present can still be the same as the previous dynasty?"
Yang Houye was speechless.
Yang Heshu said: "Father, my surname is Yang, and I am still the Young Sovereign. Do you think I will harm the Yang family?"
He said: "You taught me since I was a child that fame, wealth and wealth are actually worthless compared to the eldest son, and my son still thinks so, but what I want to tell you is that fame, wealth and a clan are also worth nothing in front of the state. Not only will His Majesty and the courtiers be merciless, but the people we stand in the way will also be merciless to us."
"The Yang family can't defy the sky, and the nobles of the family can't defy the sky either."
Yang Houye really wanted to say that they were against the sky thirty years ago, but...
"The former dynasty will be destroyed because of the aristocratic family's actions, but if the last emperor hadn't been brutal and extravagant, militaristic, and the people's livelihood was difficult, would the aristocratic family have provoked so many people to rebel against the last emperor?" Yang He wrote: "Today, people are not extravagant, His Royal Highness is not fond of pleasure, although the common people have all kinds of difficulties, they can generally live and work in peace and contentment, how many people can the aristocratic family recruit?"
Lord Yang was silent.
Yang Heshu said: "The original road is no longer feasible, why not change to another road? Father, now speaking of aristocratic families, Wang Cui is at the top, Guan Long is the royal family and descendants, and the Yang family is far behind. It is a rare opportunity, we might as well be reborn with a broken arm."
Yang Houye stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, and drove his son out of his mind, barely thinking about him, he turned around irritably, sat behind the desk and wanted to read a book, but found that he couldn't read a word, so he kicked him again. Get up with a kick.
The long follower opened the door and came in when he heard the noise, "Master Hou, are you going to rest?"
"Don't sleep!" Yang Houye didn't want to sleep at all, he simply lifted his feet and walked outside, walking around his garden.
The long follower can't quite understand his master's behavior. Although the garden is cool at night, there are also many bugs. Why do you come to visit the garden in the dark
However, he still carried the lantern and stepped forward to light the way. Master Yang thought with his hands behind his back, how could his son want to be reborn with a broken arm? I really want to be reborn from Nirvana.
After Jiangnan was conquered, the emperor would definitely take action against the aristocratic families in the Central Plains, and even the nobles of Guanlong. It is impossible for a family to be completely attached to the royal family. They should have their own strength of character.
Yang Houye naturally knew that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, but he didn't want to lose his arrogance.
He stopped in his tracks, pricked up his ears to listen, and asked his follower, "I seem to hear the sound of reading, who is reading?"
The long follower also listened to it, and hurriedly said: "It should be the eldest grandma who is teaching the young master to read."
Lord Yang lowered his eyes to think, and finally exhaled: "It's late at night, let's go back and rest."
But he walked halfway and said: "Cui's health is not very good, tomorrow you take someone to tell her, let her take the child to live in Zhuangzi, and send her some more people... Forget it, you can ask her what she wants." Whoever you take, bring her all the waiters in Changbo's house and study."
Follow along.
Lord Yang said: "The child is still young, she will teach her first, and when she grows up next year, I will find a good husband for him."
Yang Houye returned to the main room, saw the light on, and turned around to the study, "I'll sleep in the study tonight."
But he was not sleepy at all.
Chang Sui was his confidant, and seemed to know what he was struggling with, so he got up from the pedals and poured him a glass of water, "Master, do you agree with what Master said?"
Marquis Yang sighed, "Of course I know that times are changing. The country, family and imperial power will all change, but the Yang family can completely follow the river. When everyone changes, they will follow the changes of the times. Why should they be so strong?"
"But he couldn't afford to wait, so he insisted on pushing him to be the leader. I am his father, so what can I do?" I could only agree.
Yang Houye felt very uncomfortable, as anxious as if he was being roasted by fire, but he still suppressed his temper and said: "Send a message to the Hui people, more people are needed to come here, don't go to the city, go directly to Zhuangzi, and protect the Cui family." Mother and child."
What he can do is to protect Cui's mother and son when Yang Heshu falls into the vortex. As for more, Yang Houye has already predicted that it's okay if things don't make a big fuss, but if it gets big, he might not be able to be the head of the clan.
Yang Heshu fell asleep, and when he woke up, the sky was already dim, but there were still many stars in the sky. He looked up at the starry sky, and saw the brightest morning star in the sky at a glance.
Wan Tian yawned quietly, seeing the young suzerain looking at the stars again, he couldn't help but sigh, "Aren't the stars all the same?"
Yang Heshu said with a smile: "The stars are also different. Although they are all bright, some stars are particularly bright. Standing in front of all the stars leads them to shine."
