Yang Heshu's eyes became firmer, he raised his head and looked at the starry sky and said: "Nothing in this world is eternal. Some things cannot be broken or established. I will take the initiative to take over this matter, not only for the sake of the Jin Dynasty, but also for the sake of the clan."
He was raised by his family since he was a child, so how could he not have any feelings at all?
What he wanted was not only the interests of Jin Dynasty and his own future, but also the long-term future of his family.
At this time, Mr. Yang was also looking up at the starry sky. His son’s words before leaving echoed in his mind over and over again, “In this world, in addition to the starry sky, even the sea and mountains will move, and dynasties will change, not to mention our Yang.
The clan is just a clan."
Marquis Yang said: "Dynasties often change, but the family members are still here."
Yang Heshu shook his head, "Father, where did the aristocratic families come from before the Wei Dynasty? Where are the royal families of the Han Dynasty and the six royal families that went forward? Nothing in this world is eternal. You see, His Majesty takes the imperial examination every year
How many people are there who can become officials by relying on the imperial examination system?"
"But most of the people who pass the Jinshi examination are from our aristocratic families and noble families."
Yang Heshu looked at Mr. Yang quietly.
Marquis Yang had no choice but to admit defeat, "You are right. In recent years, most of the people employed by His Majesty are from the Han clan, and even the children of aristocratic families are mostly from other branches."
For example, Bai Shan, who is most valued by the emperor now, comes from a branch of the aristocratic family and is still a small aristocratic family.
The emperor seems to have fallen in love with the descendants of the Yongxiao family recently, and has promoted several people.
Yang Heshu said: "Does my father think there will be chaos in the Jin Dynasty in the next twenty years?"
Marquis Yang thought for a while and shook his head. There used to be some, but now they are gone.
Yang Heshu was finally a little satisfied, "As long as the prince is alive and healthy, the Jin Dynasty will be stable in the next twenty years. With your majesty's ambition and the prince's ambition, how long does father think Jiangnan can be independent from the outside world?"
"Jiangnan is not independent..."
"It's almost there," Yang Heshu said: "What's the difference between a blocked government order and independence? Now that you're in His Majesty's employ, it might be a little more stable. If we take back Jiangnan when it's in the hands of the prince, I'm afraid there will be a river of blood."
Marquis Yang snorted coldly, "How dare he! Don't forget how the previous dynasty fell!"
The previous dynasty was destroyed by the joint efforts of these noble families.
Yang Heshu had a headache, "Does father think the current situation can be the same as before?"
Marquis Yang was speechless.
Yang Heshu said: "Father, my surname is Yang, and I am still the young sect master. Do you think I will harm the Yang family?"
He said: "You have taught me since I was a child that fame, fortune, wealth and a clan are actually not worth mentioning compared to the clan. My son still thinks so now, but what I want to tell you is that fame, fortune, wealth and a clan are also not worth mentioning in front of the country.
Mention, not only will your Majesty and the courtiers not be lenient to us, but the people we are blocking will not be lenient to us either."
"The Yang family cannot defy heaven, and the nobles of aristocratic families cannot defy heaven."
Marquis Yang really wanted to say that they went against the grain thirty years ago, but...
"It is true that the previous dynasty was destroyed because the nobles of the aristocratic family took action. But if the late emperor had not been cruel and extravagant, resorted to militarism and the people's livelihood was difficult, how could the aristocratic family have provoked so many people to rebel against the late emperor?" Yang He wrote: "We are not extravagant people today.
His Royal Highness the Prince does not like pleasure. Although the people have various difficulties, they can generally live and work in peace and contentment. How many people can the aristocratic family attract if they raise their arms?"
Mr. Yang was silent.
Yang Heshu said: "The original road is no longer feasible, why not change to another road? Father, when talking about aristocratic families, Wang Cui is at the front, Guan Long is the royal family and descendants, and the Yang family is far behind. Now
If we have such a rare opportunity, we might as well break our arms and be reborn."
Marquis Yang stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, driving his son out of his mind, barely trying not to think 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
Get up kickingly.
Chang Sui heard the commotion and pushed the door open and asked, "Master Marquis, are you going to have a rest?"
"Don't sleep!" Mr. Yang didn't want to sleep at all. He simply walked out and walked around his garden.
Chang Sui couldn't quite understand his master's behavior. It was late at night, and although the garden was cool, there were a lot of bugs. Why would you visit a garden in the dark?
However, he still stepped forward with a lantern to light the way. Yang Houye clasped his hands behind his back and thought, why did his son want to break his arm and be reborn? It was all about Nirvana and rebirth.
After Jiangnan was conquered, the emperor would definitely take action against the Central Plains families and even the Guanlong nobles. It was impossible for a family to be completely dependent on the royal family. They should have their own character.
Marquis Yang naturally knew that his arms could not twist his thighs, but he did not want to lose his pride.
He stopped, pricked up his ears to listen, and asked Chang Sui: "I seem to hear the sound of reading, who is reading?"
Chang Sui also listened for a while and said hurriedly: "It should be the eldest grandma who is teaching the young master how to read."
Marquis Yang lowered his eyes and thought, and finally exhaled and said: "It's late at night, let's go back and rest."
But halfway through, he said again: "Ms. Cui is not in good health. Tomorrow you bring someone to tell her, let her take her children to live in Zhuangzi, and send more people to her... That's all, you ask her what she wants.
Whoever she wants to take with her, bring along all the people serving in Chang Bo’s room and study.”
Long-term follow-up.
Mr. Yang Hou said: "The child is still young now. She will educate her herself first. When she is older next year, I will find a good husband for her."
Marquis Yang returned to the main room, saw the light on, and turned to the study, "I'd better sleep in the study tonight."
But he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Chang Sui was his confidant and seemed to know what he was struggling with. He got up from his feet and poured him a glass of water, "Master, do you agree with what I said?"
Marquis Yang sighed, "Of course I know that the times are changing. The country, the aristocratic family and the imperial power will all change, but the Yang family can completely follow the river. When everyone changes, they should adapt to the changes of the times. Why bother to stand out like this?"
"But he can't afford to wait. He insists on pushing him to be the leader. I am his father, what can I do?" I can only agree.
Marquis Yang felt very uncomfortable, as anxious as if he was being roasted by fire, but he still suppressed his temper and said: "Send the message back to the clan and ask for more people to come over. You don't have to go to the city. Go directly to Zhuangzi to protect the Cui family."
Mother and son."
What he could do was protect the Cui family and their son when Yang Heshu fell into the whirlpool. As for more, Marquis Yang had already foreseen it. It would be okay if the matter was not serious, but if it were serious, he, as a clan leader, might not be able to be the leader of the clan.
Yang Heshu took a nap. When he woke up, the sky was already bright, 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, and seeing the young sect leader looking at the stars again, he couldn't help but sigh, "Aren't the stars all the same?"
Yang Heshu smiled and said: "The stars are also different. Although they are all bright, some stars are particularly bright. Stand in front of all the stars and lead them to shine."
