I heard that it was not Xia Houmao's own idea to flee Luoyang and come to Chang'an with his family papers.
Feng Da Sima nodded secretly.
This is the Xia Houmao in my impression.
With Xia Houmao's intelligence, it was absolutely impossible for him to come up with this step.
However, it is rare for him to listen to other people's opinions and make such determination.
Feng Da Sima's eyes fell on Yang Hu again, and at the same time, he tapped the eucalyptus table gently with his fingers:
"I didn't expect that Uncle Yang, who was only too young to be a weakling, could actually persuade General Xiahou to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. This kind of vision and courage are rare in the world!"
Although Feng Da Sima's tone sounded full of admiration, Yang Hu still felt a little on pins and needles, and even sweated slightly on his forehead:
"Well, I dare not hide it from Da Sima. Although Hu suggested this matter, it was not Hu's idea."
"Oh?" Feng Da Sima's face finally showed a hint of surprise, and he looked at Yang Hu seriously.
Although he didn't speak, he sat up straight and seemed to be waiting for Yang Hu to continue speaking.
Yang Hu is quite famous in the east. Although he is a bit younger, it is normal for evildoers to appear in troubled times.
It's not like Feng Da Sima has never encountered monsters - such as Du Yu - it wouldn't be too surprising if Yang Hu falls into this category.
In the eyes of others, Feng Da Sima is the number one evildoer among evildoers, and is known as the King of Ghosts.
What Feng Guiwang didn't expect was that Yang Hu actually said that someone else had the idea.
At this time, Yang Hu's face looked slightly embarrassed:
"Actually, my aunt mentioned this matter casually when I was chatting with Hu about the future of my uncle's family. Hu thought about it again and again and felt that it made sense, so I decided to talk to my uncle about it."
"Uncle's... aunt?"
Feng Da Sima frowned subconsciously, who is Uncle Yang's aunt?
I tried hard to recall the information about Yang Hu.
The Taiyang family is one of the prominent families in Shandong and has inextricable marriage ties with the Central Plains family. Naturally, it is also the focus of the Han Dynasty's investigation.
If I remember correctly, Yang Hu's father, Yang Di, married Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Wenji's sister, Cai Zhenji.
In other words, Cai Wenji is Yang Hu's aunt.
Yang Di died early, so Uncle Yang lost his father when he was young.
I was raised by my uncle Yangdan. I treat my uncle as my father and I am very respectful.
Well, let's put it this way, the aunt mentioned by Uncle Yang is most likely Yang Dan's wife.
With this memory clue, Feng Dasima quickly remembered another family of the Yang family - the Xin family.
The uncle Yang Dan who raised Yang Hu was married to the Xin family of Yingchuan, a wealthy family in the Central Plains.
Looking at Yang Hu, Feng Dashima asked one more question in order to avoid misunderstanding:
"Can I ask if the aunt my uncle is talking about is Yang Xin?"
"Exactly."
Um?
Um!
Feng Da Sima's eyes suddenly became sharp.
There is no other reason, because the Xin family of Yingchuan is exactly from the Xin family of Longxi.
Although the Xin family in Longxi is just a gimmick now.
After all, the Qianghu Rebellion in Liangzhou was almost a continuous bloodletting on the arteries of the Later Han Dynasty.
The entire Liangzhou has been in turmoil for hundreds of years.
In addition, in the middle and late period of the Later Han Dynasty, the Guandong political group suppressed the Yongliang group.
Under such circumstances, no matter how developed the wealthy families in Liangzhou are, they can still only be called wealthy families and are not yet qualified to be compared with the aristocratic families in Guandong.
The Li family in Longxi is the origin of most Li surnames in the world. Isn't it awesome?
Aren't you still working hard for so many years?
If he hadn't taken the initiative to hug Mr. Feng's lap and backstab his fellow Shu clansmen to prove their Taoist aspirations, Li Jian might still be lamenting whether the Li family's ancestral graves were buried properly.
As for the Xin family in Longxi, their situation in Longxi was even worse than that of the Li family.
But I can’t stand people’s foresight.
Shortly after the founding of the Later Han Dynasty, the Xin family in Longxi moved some of their clansmen to Yangzhai in Yingchuan.
During Dong Zhuo's chaos, the Xin family of Yingchuan first supported Yuan Shao, then took refuge with Cao Cao, and finally supported Cao Pi in the dispute over the establishment of an heir.
After Cao Pi became the crown prince, he was so proud that he hugged the neck of Xin Pi, the representative of the Xin family, and cried with joy.
This shows Cao Pi's trust in Xin Pi.
After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and ascended the throne, the Xin family of Yingchuan also became a prominent family.
Yang Hu's uncle, the Yang Xin family (that is, Xin Xianying, a famous and talented daughter in history), you can say that she is the Yingchuan Xin family.
But if someone says that he is from the Xin family in Longxi, there is nothing wrong with him. After all, his ancestral home is in Longxi.
Especially at this sensitive moment, Yang Xin and Yang Hu talked about Xiahou's future.
Then Yang Hu not only relayed it to Xiahou Mao, but also persuaded Xiahou Mao. Yang Hu himself even escorted Xiahou Ba's wife to Chang'an.
Given the urinary temperament of a wealthy family, if you were to say that all of this was an unintentional act or a coincidence, you would be questioning the IQ of King Feng Gui.
Of course, King Feng Gui was filled with ups and downs in his heart, but his face remained calm and he nodded in approval:
"My uncle's aunt, although she is a woman, can have such insight. She is truly a woman and a woman!"
Yang Hu quickly thanked:
"My aunt once said that Great Sima's literary and military talents are rare in the world. She spoke highly of Great Sima. If she knew that she could be praised like this by Great Sima, she would be extremely happy."
"Oh?" Feng Dasima couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, I still have my own female fans far away in Pseudo-Wei.
And from the suggestion that Xiahou Mao flee to the west, it seems that she is a woman with extraordinary knowledge.
This made Feng Da Sima couldn't help but become more interested, but he saw him leaning forward slightly:
"I observe your uncle's words and deeds, and you have a lot of respect for your aunt. And listening to what your uncle said, her knowledge and vision are not as good as those of men."
"Since he can give Zilin advice to seek refuge with the Han Dynasty, he must have some opinions on the situation of the Han Dynasty and even the world?"
After all, without deep enough insight and assurance, who would dare to give such a suggestion to Xiahou?
What?
You said that she only told Yang Hu in private, and never expected that her nephew would be so loud and talk about it to Xia Houmao?
Yang Hu is so famous at such a young age. Who would believe it if there is no support from the Yang family behind him?
The so-called repeated refusal to serve is just a way to build a reputation.
As a disciple promoted by the Yang clan with such great force, he now personally escorted Xiahou Ba's family papers to Chang'an.
Feng Da Sima believed that Yang Hu was by no means the kind of incompetent person who spoke freely and had no ambition.
At the same time, he did not believe that the Yang family and the Xin family had no knowledge of Yang Hu's actions.
Therefore, it seemed a bit strange for Feng Da Sima to ask such a question - to actually ask a woman's opinion on the situation.
But Yang Hu knew that Da Sima was testing the attitude of the Yang family and even the Xin family.
I saw him hesitate for a moment, and then said:
"When Hu was a child, he once heard something about his aunt."
"Oh?" Feng Dasima became more interested and asked, "What is it?"
"In the early years of the Wei Kingdom's crown prince dispute, Emperor Wen...well, Cao Zihuan finally won and cried with joy. After hearing about this, my aunt once said something..."
After a pause, he continued:
"The prince is the one who represents the monarch, the ancestral temple and the country. The emperor cannot live without mourning, and the lord cannot live without fear. How can he be happy when it is appropriate to mourn? Wei Qi is not prosperous!"
When Feng Da Sima heard Yang Hu's words, he couldn't help but give a high-five with a look of admiration on his face:
"I never thought there would be such a wonderful woman in the world!"
Feng Da Sima, who had a historical rearview mirror, naturally knew that Wei's national destiny was really short-lived.
But for a woman to actually conclude that "Wei is not prosperous" based on Cao Pi's performance when he was first established as crown prince, it is indeed very powerful.
Feng Da Sima looked at Yang Hu again and asked meaningfully:
"Isn't it possible that my uncle also knows that Wei's national destiny will not last long, so he repeatedly refuses the false Wei's expedition?"
Facing Feng Da Sima's somewhat aggressive questions, Yang Hu only felt the pressure doubled.
If he had confidence in Wei Guo, he would naturally not be afraid of asking questions like this.
only……
Yang Hu knew very well that, not to mention himself, even the family behind him probably did not have much confidence in the Wei State.
Otherwise, why would he be allowed to take such a big risk and make this trip?
I'm afraid Feng Da Sima is also well aware of this.
That's why he's so aggressive.
Alas, now the Wei Dynasty is in danger of splitting. Wu has shrunk to the south. Only Han has strong national strength and sufficient military supplies.
Although I am very reluctant to admit it, the general trend of the world has indeed tilted towards the Han Dynasty.
"As Da Sima said, although my aunt is a woman, her knowledge and vision are not as good as those of a man."
"Hu also knows that he dare not compare with his aunt, not to mention that he is young and has little knowledge. How can he dare to comment on his aunt's words easily?"
Feng Da Sima burst out laughing when he heard this.
Uncle Yang has been emphasizing that he is young, not knowledgeable, has little experience, and does not answer questions directly.
But inside and outside his words, he was always close to his aunt Yang Xin.
If you say it right, you will naturally make yourself happy.
If he accidentally made a mistake, it would be impossible for the dignified Feng Da Sima to blame a woman who was far away in Wei and had never met him before.
"Forget it, since my uncle doesn't want to answer this question, then I'll ask other questions."
Feng Da Sima didn't force it, he understood Yang Hu's concerns.
After all, this is the first time the two of them have met.
Moreover, this time Yang Hu came to express his gratitude, not to seek refuge.
If we rush to criticize the Wei State now and sing praises to the Han to show our loyalty, it will only make people look down upon.
When Yang Hu heard what Da Sima said, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Excuse me, Da Sima."
"In today's pseudo-Wei Dynasty, Sima Zhongda is in the north and Cao Zhaobo is in the south. Who do you think is better?"
"Back to Da Sima, Hu's aunt once said..."
Feng Da Sima, who was smiling all over his face, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard the first half of Yang Hu's sentence.
Where does this Yangxin family come from so many opinions?
"My aunt once said: The affairs of the world cannot be known. The Taifu and the General were both entrusted by the late Emperor to give instructions for future affairs. However, what they did was very different."
"The Taifu employs people as if they are his own, seeks talents as if they are not enough, praises the current customs, and maintains the same etiquette; a general is not like that."
"He monopolizes power, acts arrogantly and extravagantly, is disloyal to the royal family, and is not upright to humanity. Therefore, the talents of a great general are not those of a Taifu."
Feng Dashima asked again:
"In other words, my uncle's aunt thinks more of Sima Zhongda but not Cao Zhaobo?"
Yang Hu hesitated again, and after a while, he said with some confusion:
"Sima Ziyuan, the son of Sima Zhongda, once intended to depose his stepmother Wu in order to marry Sister Hu. However, my aunt told my mother that Sima Ziyuan once married Xiahou's daughter, and Xiahou's daughter died unexpectedly."
"Today, the daughter of the Qiu Yang family actually wants to depose Sima Wu family. It can be seen that she is a cruel and heartless person and is not a good match. Therefore, my mother rejected her because she is weak."
Now the division of Wei State has almost reached a fever pitch.
Sima Yi and Cao Shuang tried their best to win over the powerful families in Guandong.
The Wu family that Master Sima married was originally the daughter of Wu Zhi.
Wu Zhi, Sima Yi, Chen Qun, and Zhu Shuo are called Cao Pi's "four friends".
Obviously, when Sima Yi asked Master Sima to marry the Wu family, he mainly focused on the character of "caring about old relationships".
To put it bluntly, he just wanted to win over Cao Wei's old ministers.
Now, in order to win over the wealthy family, he is even willing to destroy his character. Even though his son is being blamed, it also shows the fierceness of the struggle in Wei.
It’s just that among the big families in Guandong, which one is vegetarian?
It is obvious that the Yang family and the Xin family are not optimistic about Sima Yi or Cao Shuang, but are optimistic about the enemy country.
At least I have the idea of investing in Dahan in advance.
It is very consistent with the urinary characteristics of a wealthy family.
This made Feng Dashima couldn't help laughing again:
"Although I have already said it before, I still can't help but mention it again: Uncle, your aunt's vision is extremely accurate!"
"If it weren't for her to stop her, Sister Ru would have married someone else if she had no choice but to marry someone else. Looking at Master Sima today, how much time he will have to live is still a question!"
Although Feng Da Sima's words were quite wild and wanton, Yang Hu showed an expression of approval and even some fear:
"What Da Sima said is absolutely true. If Ajie had married her in the first place, I'm afraid Hu would have regretted it right now!"
"This is exactly what your aunt said, the affairs of the world cannot be known."
Feng Da Sima smiled and said, "My uncle has repeatedly refused to serve as an official in the puppet Wei Dynasty, your sister has refused to marry Master Sima, and he is not optimistic about Cao Shuang. What are your plans for the future? Do you intend to stay in the Han Dynasty?"
Yang Hu stood up quickly:
"Thank you for your kindness, Grand Sima. Hu came here this time, firstly to escort my maternal aunt, and secondly, as entrusted by my aunt, I went to Longxi to deliver a message."
"When the time comes, Hu will have to return to Mount Tai to report to his aunt. I'm afraid he won't be able to stay with the big man for long."
Feng Da Sima nodded, not too disappointed.
Again, if Yang Hu expresses his loyalty on the spot, not only will it appear too impatient, but it will also drag down the Yang family behind him and prevent him from selling it at a good price.
As a wealthy family in Shandong, how could the Yang family lower their status so easily and be shameless until the last moment?
Feng Da Sima is not in a hurry.
However, he still gave a kind reminder:
"After my uncle returns, he must be careful not to be hated by others."
"The great Sima is worried that he is no more than a commoner and has no official position. He travels between two places for the sake of relatives and filial piety, not for selfish desires. Even if there are laws and regulations, human relations must not be ignored."
Feng Da Sima nodded slightly and said no more.
If the Yang family and the Xin family can't even save Yang Hu, then they really can't be called aristocratic families.
Not to mention that with the current situation in Wei State, whether it is Sima or Cao Shuang, they are only thinking about how to win over the major families at this time, so how can they possibly offend them?
What's more, as Yang Hu said, he did this out of filial piety.
With Sima Yi's cunning and strategizing, it is absolutely impossible for him to argue with Yang Hu for the sake of filial piety.
Isn’t this giving away leverage to the opponent in vain?
Thinking about it this way, Yang Hu's trip to Chang'an may seem like a risk, but in fact he must have considered the pros and cons.
Feng Da Sima took a deep look at Yang Hu, and then turned his gaze to Xia Houmao, who was sitting there, listening silently, and never spoke.
