Yang Ye has always been proud of his son. Hearing Wang Yansheng's admiring and even somewhat proud praise at this moment made him feel very happy.
However, after noticing Wang Yansheng's expression, he still showed an awkward but polite smile and said, "Brother, you are too strict with your nephews. I think they are all talented people. They just haven't had the opportunity before."
That’s all, now your majesty’s public encouragement will be of great use, and you will definitely inherit the mantle and shine on your family!”
Faced with Yang Ye's words of comfort, Wang Yansheng couldn't help but take another look at him, sighing secretly in his heart, this Yang Chonggui is a fed man who doesn't know how hungry a man is when he is hungry. I won't say more about his personal situation. He has been serving the nobles for decades.
Envy, jealousy and hatred.
The hall is full of descendants, and they are also full of talents, especially the two sons Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yanlang, who are particularly outstanding. One was selected by Emperor Liu as his consort and served as a senior officer in front of the palace, and the other also transformed from a rising star to a general in the army. Now,
Following the expansion of King Wei in Anxi.
He is indeed a low-key person, but when it comes to being a noble person, no one in the court can ignore him. But such a powerful family leader has always been trusted and favored by Emperor Liu without any signs of fear. It is really strange!
The fate of Yang Ye's family is legendary enough, but what's even more surprising is Emperor Liu's attitude! No matter how you look at it, the old emperor doesn't seem to be able to truly trust a person or a family without reservation.
Yang Ye's achievements and qualifications were sufficient, and the two of them also shared a loving relationship, but Wang Yansheng was still a senior in front of him, so he also had his own pride and did not express these lemon-smelling emotions too much.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Now I finally understand the reason for this sentence that Your Majesty often talks about!" After thinking about it, he sighed: "My generation has been through life and death, creating a foundation, but our children and grandchildren cannot enjoy it.
They would have to walk the thorny road all over again. If I had known that, why would I have done so hard in the first place?"
Seeing that Wang Yansheng couldn't control his mouth again, Yang Ye frowned slightly and said angrily: "Brother Guanglie, this statement is a bit extreme. Your Majesty has also worked hard. After all, he hopes that his descendants can achieve something, rather than just doing it all."
Just rely on the mediocre people in the palace!"
Mentioning this, Wang Yansheng became a little angry. He glanced at Yang Ye and said, "Brother Chonggui, let me say something unpleasant. Your two sons, Yanzhao and Yanlang, are outstanding heroes in the army. They have suffered a lot.
Your Majesty’s credit, their current achievements, don’t they rely on your merits, qualifications and reputation, Duke Yang? Without your Majesty’s favor and promotion, nephew Yan Zhao would have become the Duke of Yu, the capital of the palace, before he was forty years old.
?
What kind of position is this? You know better than I do. It is a humble and powerful position, and how many veterans and generals are controlled by it. Your Majesty intends to establish it as a new banner for the Han army!
The beam in the army, the stone of the country, may have been just an inspiration and expectation at the time, but now it is becoming a reality step by step! And there is Li Jilong, who is in a similar situation to your eldest son, and is also your majesty's son-in-law.
Compared with these two, how do those soldiers with ordinary backgrounds and those middle- and lower-level officers who have worked hard for promotion feel? If your Majesty wants fairness, what's the point of just suppressing us meritorious officials?"
Hearing what Wang Yansheng said, Yang Ye finally couldn't help it anymore and interrupted him with a scolding: "That's enough! Brother Guanglie, you talked too much today. When you are in trouble, you are in trouble. This is what you said!"
Yang Ye's sudden attack made Wang Yansheng stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and casually pulled down his beard that was stained with saliva, and smiled: "What I said, are you violating taboo again? When I am sober, I am like this
The attitude and temper of seventy years cannot be changed, and they will be carried into the coffin after all!"
As he said this, Wang Yansheng narrowed his eyes slightly and rushed towards Yang Ye with a bit of pressure, saying in a serious voice: "You are His Majesty's confidant, so your complaints today will not go to His Majesty!"
"Brother, are you suspicious of me?" Yang Ye was not timid at all and looked directly at Wang Yansheng with a hint of anger in his eyes.
Seeing his serious look, Wang Yansheng chuckled. He couldn't help but cough twice. He glanced at another white-haired old man who was following the two of them and said: "
Even if I go to Heaven to hear it, I am not afraid. I am not afraid of death anymore. What else do I have to fear? You can just pass it on so that Your Majesty can hear the thoughts of your ministers.
Look at us people, we don’t even dare to tell His Majesty what’s in our hearts. Isn’t this the sorrow of an old minister?”
"Okay, now that it's over, what's the use of making these unnecessary complaints anymore, enjoying your old age is the right way!" Yang Ye sighed, and helped Wang Yansheng again, but this time he used more force.
Feeling the strength coming from his arm, Wang Yansheng was silent for a moment and slowly drove towards the car. At the same time, he changed the subject of the conversation and asked another old man: "Uncle Hechuan, after listening to gossip for so long, you have nothing to say?"
The old man next to him is Hechuan Bokang Yanze, who is about the same age as Wang Yansheng. He is a wise general with both civil and military skills. He has achieved many honors during his decades of military service. Yang Ye won a great victory in the battle of Baicaokou in the battle of rectification, and outnumbered the enemy.
, the frontal defeat of the invading Liao army was achieved with the assistance of Kang Yanze.
Of course, compared to Wang Yansheng, he is indeed much inferior in all aspects, especially in terms of merit and qualifications. At this time, Kang Yanze walked slowly with his hands behind his back, facing Wang Yansheng's scrutinizing gaze, still looking calm and calm,
He chuckled and said: "I have been living idle for many years, just to enjoy my old age and have nothing else to ask for! Those useless dogs and grandsons of my family have no hope for them. No matter whether they are doing nothing or not, the wealth accumulated in these years is enough for them to live for three lifetimes.
, As for things after the third life, there is no need for an old man like me to worry about it!"
"Uncle Hechuan is very open-minded and takes things calmly!" In Wang Yansheng's view, Kang Yanze's performance was a bit pretentious: "Your father was already a high-ranking official in the imperial court in the previous dynasty. He came from a well-known family. Compared with me, who is at the bottom of the ranks,
Those who are killed are much better. With your rank and salary, if you don't make progress, you will have been reduced to a commoner after three or five generations. How can you calm down?"
In this regard, Kang Yanze was silent for a while, then Fang smiled and said: "At least, Your Majesty has shown us a clear path! I have already made some considerations. There are still some children in the Kang family who are content to stay in the country to study and engage in politics.
, those who are doing business, farming, and those who are restless, all rush outside and let them make trouble!"
Kang Yanze had no choice but to express his position like this. The Kang family's life has not been easy in recent years, mainly because they have been suppressed politically and excluded militarily.
The reason is also simple. He is a typical example of some of the "illegal nobles" mentioned by Emperor Liu. His second son Kang Mingzhao was convicted of embezzling military supplies and deducting military pay. He was sentenced by Ming Zhengdian. At that time, he was the deputy commander of the Inspection Department.
Naturally, Kang Yanze was inevitably implicated, and was deprived of all his titles, his career was ruined, and he became old after more than ten years of care.
"This is a good idea!" Before Wang Yansheng could speak, Yang Ye affirmed, looking very approving.
Wang Yansheng looked at the two people from left to right, thought a little, and sighed: "It seems that this is the best! I still have some old disciples, so I can only follow them out!"
"Go west or south?" Yang Ye asked curiously.
"Of course we are going west!" Wang Yansheng said coldly: "If we go south, wouldn't we have to serve under that guy Guo Liangping? Seeing how famous he is, how can we be controlled by him anymore?"
Obviously, Wang Yansheng is also one of those old nobles who look down on the navy and despise Guo Liangping. Seeing Wang Yansheng's arrogant look, a strange look flashed in Kang Yanze's eyes. He was not willing to invest his children in Anxi
The battlefield is a mill of flesh and blood, and no amount of lives is enough to fill it...
Of course, the greater possibility that Wang Yansheng chose the northwest is that he has accumulated some knowledge in the northwest, and that is where he can best exert his influence as a prince.
"It seems that the old man, who is sick and disabled, has to hold on for a while longer. Otherwise, if I pass away, my disciples will not have the confidence to fight with others!" Sure enough, Wang Yansheng sighed softly: "Your Majesty is so indulgent.
It turns the vast outside world into a colosseum..."
