Jianghu has you (43)

The old man in front of him was Yang Cishan. He looked the fourth master up and down and asked, "But that official lobbyist from the north?"

The fourth master took a look at this ordinary bamboo forest mountain residence, did not answer the question, and did not continue to circle around, but asked: "Has the old gentleman ever thought about the Yang family's future?"

Why hasn't Yang Cishan thought about it? Over the years, he has often wondered how he could lead to this situation.

But if you go back to the past and think about it, what can you do if the woman who was so favored back then was named and said to be your sister? Say no? That means you deny it. The most favored concubine can only be reprimanded twice.

In other words, maybe if you cry twice about your life experience, you will only be pitied more, and it will not matter much to others. But what about you? What about the Yang family? As long as you offend others, there are many people in this world who will make trouble. The Yang family back then

I'm afraid that even Kuaiji won't be able to get out, and the whole clan will perish!

Those who know the inside story are hiding everything because Empress Dowager Yang is on the throne and dare not say these forbidden words. But in the future, Empress Dowager Yang will completely lose power... The empress dowager who loses power will still be the empress dowager, and the official family will still be good

The Queen Mother was told to take care of herself until her old age, but what should the Yang family do? She became a thief who coveted wealth, deceived the officials, and deceived the world. Even if there are those who know the whole story, how can they be expected to plead grievances for the Yang family?

What's more, the Queen Mother is not young now. It is unknown whether an elderly person can put on and take off the shoes again after lying down.

If something happens to the Queen Mother, where will the Yang family go? Waiting to become the target of public criticism, and the whole family will be guilty?

No one wants to face this, but no one is helpless.

Yang Cishan shook his head: "I thought too much, so I became discouraged and huddled in the mountains... In the future, when I close my eyes, I will die or live, it all depends on God's will. This wealth back then was a fluke. If it were

If God wants the younger generations of the Yang family to repay this stolen glory, then they can only resign themselves to fate."

"If you really want to resign yourself to fate, the old gentleman will not see me alone." Sitting on the bamboo chair, the fourth master said: "Let's not go back and forth in circles. The Yang family's way of survival is right in front of us. It just depends on whether Mr. Yang dares to give it a try.

?”

Yang Cishan looked at the fourth master seriously: "Your Excellency, you still said that you are not from the North?"

"He is from the North, I don't deny that." Fourth Master smiled, "Don't worry, I won't ask the old gentleman to do anything treacherous, let alone put himself in danger."

Yang Cishan was not relieved by what the person in front of him said. Everyone who encourages people to do bad things would have some words that would make people die without paying for it. He didn't take it seriously and just asked: "What is it?"

The fourth master did not defend himself and said bluntly: "Due to various reasons, the Zhao royal family is now scattered all over the country and has become ordinary people. The royal family of the New Song Dynasty was also a member of the Zhao family. Whenever the officials thought of the displacement of their clan members, they couldn't bear it.

…”

"Your Excellency, you want me to work for the New Song Dynasty and move the Zhao royal family away?" Yang Cishan thought of this and was horrified. He couldn't help but stood up holding the bamboo table, "You are... this is drawing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron... shaking the foundation.

ah……"

The fourth master only said: "This is a well-meaning thing, but I can't bear the royal nobles to be scattered in the dust. How could the old gentleman be so serious? This is also based on everyone's wishes. If you really don't want to, then just give up."

Yang Cishan sighed: How could he call it quits? It was precisely because he saw the impact of this method on the Southern Song Dynasty that he knew that the New Song Dynasty was bound to succeed. Even if he didn't do it, the other party would still find it.

Others came to do this. It was said that they were voluntary, but how could those clans be unwilling? I think that today's officials and princes were just orphans who lost their fathers and grew up in the care of their uncle's family.

. They are indeed the descendants of Emperor Taizu, but this generation has long been in decline. It was a coincidence of fate, and it was precisely because they lost their father and had no one to rely on that they adopted them. But this is also because of their birth.

The government was not so confident, so the official attitude towards the clan was as cold as possible, and as cold as possible. The purpose was to prevent these people from developing ambitions and threatening the throne. Therefore, the days of these clans were somewhat

Their lives are not as good as those of ordinary people. They work hard every day, and many of the clan members’ families cannot even afford the money to support their education. If there is an opportunity now, and they can become masters in an instant, then why not?

If you go to another country, you are treason. If you go to the New Song Dynasty, what difference will it make in the eyes of the royal family? They are from the same family!

As for the identity of the official family of the New Song Dynasty, it was just a sentence to deny it in the past, but it is just a sentence to admit it now. When the royal family really moves north, who will be the orthodox Zhao royal family? I am afraid that not the official family in Lin'an City can do this on their own.

I'm just talking about myself. Of course it's whatever the royal family says, so that's it.

In the end, Lin'an became a thief.

Of the two officials, one was an emperor who had been in power for ten years and was suppressed by Shi Miyuan for ten years. The other was a prisoner, but he forcibly found a way out and single-handedly destroyed the Jin Kingdom and the Xixia Dynasty. Who is the emperor?

Is it the British master?

Yang Cishan made a decision in his heart, but then asked: "May I ask your Excellency, why is it this old man who did this?"

It is unreasonable to choose yourself alone.

If you really just want to accomplish such a thing, then businessmen traveling between the two places can do it by quietly sending a message. Even the New Song Dynasty court did not even need to send anyone to do the specific things. It was like

As I thought before, how could those clans refuse to agree to such a good thing?

Why do you have to do this yourself?

The Fourth Master chuckled: "You are the Queen Mother's brother."

The Queen Mother's brother...what happened?

Fourth Master said again: "If you have frequent contact with the clan, what will others think?"

What would you think?

Yang Cishan was suddenly shocked. Others would wonder: Is this the same as when Shi Miyuan chose an heir for the royal family? Now he is also choosing an heir for the royal family. The Southern Song Dynasty court has not had biological sons for several generations, so it has become a common practice to select people from the clan.

.

"But...but...but now that the official family is at its peak, just because there is no prince for a while, it doesn't mean that in the future..." As he said this, he was stunned. Seeing that the other party was holding tea and stopped talking, he became flustered.

It is not that he knew nothing about the news in the palace. How the noble concubine of the Jia family fell ill, others did not know the inside story, but the Yang family knew it. Because the official family had no children, and they were eager to have a son.

The Queen Mother once wanted to select Yang's daughter to be a concubine in the palace, in order to reproduce the children. But the official family refused, and she did not want to make the Yang family fall deeper into trouble, so the matter ended up being nothing. Concubine Jia gave birth to a princess.

Yes, that means there is no problem with childbirth. Then who is the problem? Why are the officials so anxious?

Thinking of this, his back was wet with sweat.

Once he comes into contact with the clan, this will be a political signal. All forces will take action upon hearing the news, and internal strife will continue within the court.

And these are just his thoughts. Whether they are true or not, he cannot guarantee now.

It's a pity that the whole court was still kept in the dark. The New Song Dynasty had already come into contact with its own level, but no one in the court heard about it.

One is ignorant, the other is trying his best to gain...that's all, maybe it's God's will.

He didn't ask any more questions. Since he had to take this road, he just closed his eyes and walked forward. It was better than sitting still and waiting for death.

He thought a lot and even suggested: "I have to go to the palace to see the Queen Mother..."

The fourth master understood what Yang Cishan meant. He was a cautious person. He wanted to contact the clan, but he did not want to put the Yang family in danger. He planned to enter the palace to persuade Queen Mother Yang to do this.

The matter of the emperor’s selection of heirs!

In this way, it was in line with Fourth Master's wishes. He also gave the other party reassurance: "I heard that the old gentleman's youngest son and eldest grandson are studying abroad... There are several academies in Beidi. If you are willing, just send them there."

Yang Cishan was determined in his heart, "Oh? I have already heard about the official studies in the north. It would be best if I could go and gain more knowledge. I don't know if I will go there..."

"Just go and relax. Once you enter the New Song Dynasty, someone will make arrangements, so don't worry." If Chaowen Pavilion can't even do this well, then it really should be disbanded.

That's all. Fourth Master stood up directly: "Then I'll say goodbye!"

Yang Cishan did not try to persuade him to stay, but sent him directly out of the bamboo building.

This time he looked at the group of people waiting outside. He saw that the person standing at the front of the group was actually a young man. The young man was handsome, standing there with a stern posture, his eyes were pure, and his expression was gentle.

There was a girl standing next to the back, with a bit of heroic spirit, and after that, there was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a short beard.

I saw that the young man only nodded slightly towards me, and then showed a childish smile towards the guest who was going out.

The young man was obviously respected among the group, but the middle-aged man following the young man was obviously not a domestic servant or general. Let alone a domestic servant or general, even if he was a subordinate, his back would not be so straight.

But such a person stood behind the young man without any overstep. He had a bold guess in his heart: Who is this young man?

If I remember correctly, there was only one prince in the New Song Dynasty, and that prince seemed to be of this age.

In addition to the prince, there is also a princess.

Look at the woman standing behind the boy, she seems to be about the right age.

He was lost in thought when he heard two calls of "Daddy".

The young man and the woman shouted "Daddy" to the guest!

He was stunned for a moment, wrong! There must be something wrong! You must be overthinking it! Impossible, impossible!

But this age, everything is right again.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that the group of people had walked away, turned a corner, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He quickly chased forward, only to see that the other party had already gotten into the carriage. An inconspicuous carriage came just like that.

, and then left again.

The great-nephew came from behind and asked, "Uncle, who is that person?"

who is it?

I'm afraid he is a great person!

The old man let out a long sigh and stooped down: The official family was still accompanying his concubine in the palace, but the official family of the New Song Dynasty had already gone to Lin'an to move around under the emperor. What will happen in the future? Do you still have to think about it?

?

But after all, he was a veteran of the Southern Song Dynasty. He burst into tears for a while, but looking at the helpless child beside him, he gritted his teeth and said: "Not everyone in this world can be a loyal and sincere minister."

I can't do it...but I try not to be a traitor!

I have never betrayed the Zhao royal family, so I can't be considered a traitor.

After returning to the inn, Long Er told her father, "We've called for surveillance."

The power of Chaowen Pavilion was still considerable in the Southern Song Dynasty.
