It is human instinct to rank according to seniority, but there is a prerequisite. As a senior, you must have the ability to make others admire you.
Otherwise who will pay attention to you?
To put it further, there is a tradition of respecting elders among the grassland tribes in Bei Liao, but who are those respected elders?
Most people in the grassland tribe are illiterate, but anyone who is literate is a treasure in the tribe.
Most of these respected elders are literate.
Many times, people respect their ability, not their years.
I just gradually confused the concept and regarded time as my ability.
In terms of qualifications and seniority, the Yingchuan Yang family is second to none in the Central Plains.
Qualifications are one thing, and the heirloom knowledge that the Yingchuan Yang family is proud of is another thing. Why do the outside world respect them?
Without him, the Yingchuan Yang family has huge power!
Just think about a family that can last for thousands of years and you can imagine their terrifying network of connections.
This is the most frightening thing about the Yingchuan Yang family.
For example, if a family has five surnames, the family is the Yang family.
The five surnames were part of the Yang family's personal network in Yingchuan back then.
Only the Yang family of Yingchuan deserves respect... Even the emperor must respect him, who dares to disrespect him?
Countless years of being aloof and aloof have already made Yang treat the people of the world as stupid dogs. The gods say that you are a barbarian. Why are you not satisfied?
If Yang Xuan was here, Yang Songcheng would naturally not be so careless.
But Jiang Xing is just a steward of the club!
He didn't care at all.
"Ouch!"
The follower he sent arrogantly wanted to slap Jiang Xing, but was slapped back and his arm was broken off.
Yang Songcheng saw the forearm at an angle of 45 degrees and said dissatisfied: "It's becoming more and more unstable."
Behind him, someone said: "I'll go take care of him!"
Yang Songcheng shook his head, "At this moment, whatever you do is wrong, report it to the official!"
There was a heated discussion in Chang'an about Yang Xuan sending troops to the north. At this time, the subordinates of the state leader surrounded and assaulted the steward of the Beijiang Guild Hall. No matter whose side he was on, Yang Songcheng would be stabbed in the bone by the people.
Of course, he doesn't care!
There’s no need for that!
It is common sense that porcelain should not compete with rubble.
"Report to the official!"
someone shouted.
Then a group of Jinwu Guards sergeants came.
"Kneel down!"
As soon as the Jinwu Guards arrived, they got into a fighting formation, and the generals leading the team felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy... From time to time, they stole glances at the abbot.
This flattery is definitely a hit.
The abbot was very busy, nodded slightly, and left immediately.
Jiang Xing refused to kneel down, "I am the manager of the Beijiang Guild Hall, why should you arrest me?"
The general sneered and pointed at the man with a severed hand next to him, "The busy city hurts people."
"That was his first move!" Jiang Xing said slowly: "In addition, the father-in-law said that I am a barbarian from northern Xinjiang. I have to find justice with him on this matter."
Beijiang Guild Hall!
The general hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Where did it come from?"
Someone next to me said: "It's like a reverse journey, but it only caters to people from northern Xinjiang."
"It turns out to be a counter-travel shopkeeper, take it down!"
The general was delighted when he heard this and planned to go to Yang's house later to ask for instructions and report.
This is a trick...according to the Yang family's urine, it will probably bring him some benefits.
There are never too many benefits.
The next time I meet the abbot and take the initiative to say hello, the abbot may have forgotten who he is, but the people around me will remember him! When reminded, the abbot will have no choice but to nod back or respond in kind. After a few times,
Shangguan will guess whether he has a relationship with Yang.
In this way, the subsequent benefits will continue.
The head of state is naturally not an idiot. He knows about such tricks. But he doesn't care. He even hopes that these people can make a name for themselves, so that the outside world will think that he is a member of the Yang family. Finally, after some blending, the Yang family will
There will be one more general!
These are all methods of making connections. If you take a closer look, they are actually based on the evil intentions of others.
Everyone in the guild hall stopped working, and some even drew their swords.
"Everyone stop it!"
Jiang Xing stopped his men and narrowed his eyes at the general, "Are you sure you want to settle this matter?"
These words didn't seem right... The general thought about it and felt that it was a threat, so he sneered and said: "Crazy man, this is Chang'an, not Northern Xinjiang!"
Could it be possible that Yang Xuan could fly over from Northern Xinjiang and give me a good beating?
"Take it!"
Jiang Xing was taken down obediently and told his subordinates, "No need to worry about it!"
The men hurried back to the clubhouse and reported the incident to the other steward, Zhang Ba.
"Barbarians from Northern Xinjiang?"
Zhang Ba lives up to his name, he is tall and looks particularly majestic.
The people accompanying him said with a grimace, "They don't dare to kill people, for fear that the Duke will take advantage of this to cause trouble. However, they will inevitably suffer."
Give him a beating and tell the Yang family later, this is fate!
Zhang Ba banged his eucalyptus and sneered, "Don't worry, just wait and see. Lao Jiang's revenge will naturally be avenged."
…
"I haven't been able to sleep well these days."
In the palace, the emperor said to the abbot: "I was just a small county captain, but I didn't expect that he would become a big trouble. I was negligent."
The emperor can be said to be a proud man. Since he ascended the throne, he has never been heard to reflect on himself.
Therefore, Yang Songcheng's eyes narrowed, "But is there something wrong with Northern Xinjiang?"
Otherwise, it is impossible for the emperor to destroy his prestige.
The emperor nodded, "A secret spy came to report that Song Zhen was very respectful to Yang Xuan, as if he were a monarch and a minister."
Song Zhen was also a proud man, and his stay in northern Xinjiang had exceeded many people's expectations. This attitude of a monarch and a minister also made Yang Songcheng stunned.
"Song Zhen is not the kind of person who likes to bow his head."
The emperor nodded, "So I am thinking about what means Yang Ni used to completely pull him over. If this beast really has such means, it will be a big disaster in the future!"
A major disaster must be eliminated quickly!
Yang Songcheng thought about it carefully, "When Song Zhen was willing to go to Northern Xinjiang, he hoped that His Majesty could use him again. This is a person who is obsessed with officialdom. Your Majesty later did not..."
The emperor regarded Song Zhen as a chamber pot and threw it away after use.
No matter how good-tempered Lao Song is, he still has to fall out, right?
What the abbot meant was whether Song Zhen had angered the emperor and was completely loyal to Yang Xuan.
The emperor coughed dryly and said, "I have come to see you for one more thing. Shi Zhongtang from southern Xinjiang has written a memorial saying that Zhang Chumao was drunk all day long and ignored official duties."
But how did I get the news that Zhang Chumao was actively engaged in official matters and had not drank at all in the past six months?
Yang Songcheng knew this was the emperor's hint.
He smiled and said: "The northward march in Northern Xinjiang is very dangerous. I think we should wait and see."
When the battle report on Yang Xuan's advance to the north comes out, we will discuss this matter again.
The emperor nodded, "Yes!"
Yang Songcheng immediately resigned.
After walking out of the palace, the entourage outside said: "Guozhang, the steward of the guild hall was taken to Jinwu Guard and was severely beaten."
Yang Songcheng nodded casually.
"The general's name is Jiao Lin. He was originally..."
The entourage was very conscientious and they found out the identity of Jin Wuwei's general within a short time when the father-in-law entered the palace to meet the emperor.
"Um!"
The abbot suddenly stopped and said, "Pay attention to the news in Northern Xinjiang and report it in time. Is that Jiao Lin!"
"right!"
The abbot thought for a while and said, "Bei Xinjiang will be the great enemy of the Tang Dynasty from now on. It's time to make a gesture. Go and have a few words with Jiao Lin."
If Yang's people say a few words to Jiao Lin, this will send a signal.
——Those who dare to stand on the opposite side of Northern Xinjiang are Yang’s friends!
The people around him lowered their voices and said, "The father-in-law of the country is Zhou Zun!"
Yang Songcheng slowly turned sideways.
Zhou Zun stood outside the gate of the official residence on the side, smiled and cupped his hands, "Guo Zhang."
"Shilang Zhou!" Yang Songcheng cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Is this... the lower office?"
It's not time to go to the Yamen yet, but as the eldest son of Zhongshu, Zhou Zun can leave early if nothing happens, just find an excuse.
Zhou Zun ignored his question, "I heard that the state leader took over a steward of the Beijiang Guild Hall?"
"Zhou's information is quite good!"
Yang Songcheng ridiculed Zhou for staring at him.
Zhou Zun shook his head, "It's not that the Zhou family is well-informed, but that the steward is my son-in-law's representative in Chang'an. They are the ones who come forward in all interactions between Northern Xinjiang and Chang'an."
This is Northern Xinjiang, the representative of Yang Xuan.
You took it when you said you would!?
Yang Songcheng narrowed his eyes and said, "If you challenge me, take it, then take it!"
As soon as these words came out, the matter instantly broke away from the scope of a small conflict and became a conflict between the Yang family and the Zhou family, that is, between the Yang family and Yang Xuan.

I've got your man!
Where?
Zhou Zun smiled and said, "I hope you won't release it in a hurry."
If you can, keep people locked up!
If you release Yang Song, you will become my grandson!
Zhou Zun is so confident... Yang Songcheng said calmly: "There is a law to punish him."
Zhou Zun said: "Law, isn't that Yang's plaything?"
There is an official story about this. More than a hundred years ago, someone of the Yang family was arrested by the government. The head of the Yang family happened to be receiving friends and got very drunk. After hearing the steward's report, he waved his hand: "The law, that's not the law."
Yang’s plaything?”
Although Yang later tried his best to deny the rumor, the more he denied it, the more the outside world thought it was true.
The so-called cover-up means that it is true!
Yang Songcheng looked at him, "Do you think he can win this battle?"
Only in this way can Zhou Zun be so aggressive.
"I want to tell you that that person is my son-in-law." Zhou Zun said every word, "When the anger of Northern Xinjiang spreads to Chang'an, I hope you can still be so calm by then."
His son-in-law has now secured his position as the Lord of Northern Xinjiang, and has the support of the soldiers and civilians of Northern Xinjiang. He is no longer the fearful young man he was before, walking on thin ice.
Yang Songcheng may have just taken the steward casually, but he forgot one thing...
If there is a big victory in Northern Xinjiang and Yang Xuan takes advantage of the situation and looks at Chang'an, looking for an opening to demonstrate, this matter will be the best target.
Father of the country!
Take care of yourself!
Zhou Zun knew very well that his son-in-law's temperament seemed gentle, but in fact he was the most domineering one.
You respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot.
If you slap me, I will kick you!
Yang Songcheng said calmly: "I still have something to do."
Zhou Zun smiled and said, "I heard that Yang's wall is quite strong!"
In an instant, Yang Songcheng's eyes turned cold.
Last time, the Yang family gathered some young men to besiege the Zhou family, but they failed. When Yang Xuan came to Chang'an, the first thing he did was to knock down the Yang family's wall.
The majestic Yang family in Yingchuan naturally cannot live without a wall. Later, the Yang family rebuilt the wall. This time, the repair was extremely impregnable... Glutinous rice was added with lime and other materials as an adhesive, and stones were used to build the wall to ensure that it could not be broken through by ordinary means.
.
You have angered my son-in-law, be careful of the fence!
Yang Songcheng sneered, then mounted his horse and left.
After leaving the imperial city, the staff beside him said: "How about that steward..."
Yang Songcheng glanced at the staff, "Zhou Zun was just provoking. He wanted to anger me, and his purpose was nothing more than for Northern Xinjiang. He was a little uneasy... People from the Zhou family have been frequently asking about Lin Jun these days, especially him
Do you understand the three battles with the Shegu people?"
The staff nodded, "Once the battle is defeated, Chang'an can take advantage of the situation. But at that time, we and the emperor..."
Yang Songcheng narrowed his eyes, "The conflict between the Yang family and the emperor lies in power. The emperor wants to have all the power, but if the emperor has all the power, we are in danger. This is a long process, and we are not in a hurry.
Yang Xuan was just a farmer originally, and no one thought that he would become a serious problem for us. In this case, we will work together to eliminate this serious problem first, and then continue the fight with the emperor."
It is normal for the nobles of aristocratic families to fight with the emperor, just like a couple, fighting, breaking up, and getting back together, but in the end they still have to sleep together.
Fighting at the head of the bed, fighting at the end of the bed... Somehow, the staff thought of this folk proverb, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but curl up slightly.
A servant was waiting in front. After Yang Songcheng and others passed by, he rode his horse to the staff and said, "The steward of the guild hall was beaten in Jinwu Guard's prison, but he just laughed."
"Oh!" The staff member knew the father-in-law's thoughts and sneered: "Give him a good beating."
In fact, there is no need for the head of the state to take action for a small steward, but he needs to make a gesture and tell the emperor: We are all on the same side when it comes to going to northern Xinjiang.
One thing is politically correct, but locally it seems extremely stupid.
…
Jinwuwei is in charge of public security in Chang'an and arrests some people almost every day.
Among these people, those who committed crimes would be handed over to the local authorities later for trial. Those who committed crimes or committed petty thefts, Jinwu Guards did not bother to send them over and dealt with them on their own.
Just like a detention center in another world, the conditions in Jinwuwei's cells are not very good.
Jiang Xing had already received a severe beating and was sitting in the cell.
There were more than ten people in the cell, most of them were petty thieves or illegal.
Jiang Xing is tall and tall, sitting there like a hill.
"Big man, what did you do?" A tall criminal asked with his chin raised and his expression arrogant.
Jiang Xing is a newcomer, so he should be beaten with a beating as soon as he came in. The inmates were a little confused about the details, and they delayed testing him until now.
Jiang Xing looked outside the cell, thinking about many things in his mind, and said casually: "I have offended the father-in-law."
The prisoner was startled, then pointed at him and said with a smile: "Just wait and see, this bitch's bragging is endless. If you offended the father-in-law, would you still be alive? You would have been beaten three times a day."
Puff puff puff!
The sound of footsteps came.
These criminals were all veteran criminals. When they heard the majestic footsteps, they immediately squatted on the ground, as honest as quails.
Several jailers came over and stared at Jiang Xing.
"You bitch slave, how dare you offend the father of the country?"
"Pull it out."
Jiang Xing came out obediently, and the prisoners slowly looked at him.
