"Yes." Cao Ying smiled and said: "After the prince passed away, the emperor regretted it and gave him the title of emperor posthumously, but who was he directed at with his anger?"
"The people around the prince." Cao Ying asked and answered, "Sir... I'd better call you Alang, so as not to get involved with Yi Niang in the future. Alang has always been wronged, and Yang Lue killed too many good people in the mirror and palace.
, cannot be forgiven. Unless the emperor pardons him."
"Can you?" For Yang Xuan, Yang Lue was more like his relative.
And the old gentleman who sacrificed his life to honor the emperor regardless of his descendants was more like a stranger.
Cao Ying shook her head, "Hard. Unless... Lang Jun becomes a senior official. Does Lang Jun know what a senior official can do?"
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
This gentleman is not stupid!
Cao Ying had been worried about Yang Xuan's naivety, who came from the countryside. At this moment, she was secretly happy, "High-ranking officials can work together vertically and horizontally. Even the emperor cannot underestimate him, and sometimes he has to compromise. When that time comes, he will naturally be able to mediate the matter."
"You want to be a high-ranking official like the Prime Minister, right?"
"yes."
"How many years will that be? Is it possible that Yang Lue will live until that time?"
Outside the kitchen, Yi Niang, who was holding a wooden basin, glanced here worriedly.
Cao Ying sighed: "After the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, all those who were loyal to the Emperor were suppressed. Fortunately, we dispersed long ago. But even so, we could not serve as officials, and we had to be careful about subsequent purges. So Yi Niang escaped into a Taoist temple, and I
Escaped into the countryside, Yang Lue fled to the Southern Zhou Dynasty... Lang Jun, we need to protect ourselves."
"What do you mean?" Yang Xuan heard something.
"It doesn't matter that we are a poor people, but what will happen to our children and grandchildren in the future?" Cao Ying sighed, as if tears were shining in her eyes, "In order not to harm my children and grandchildren, I fled to the countryside, but there was news a while ago that I
My children and grandchildren cannot study."
"This..." Yang Xuan thought of Yan Cheng. His descendants might be retaliated by the whole family, so Zhao Sanfu has been keeping an eye on this matter recently.
"We cannot be officials and cannot influence the government. Our only hope is Langjun."
Cao Ying's tears fell down.
"You want me to pursue an official career?"
"Yes." Cao Ying said gently: "It is God's will that the students of the Imperial College can become officials when they come out, and the prince can enter."
Yang Xuan pondered for a long time.
"I'm stupid..."
Cao Ying seemed to have heard the biggest joke, "Is it possible that Mr. Lang is so stupid that he will get to know the Wang family? Maybe he will study in the Imperial College?"
Yang Xuan was a little embarrassed, "That's luck."
If it weren't for luck, he wouldn't have been able to get to know the Wang family, so he wouldn't have been able to study in the Imperial College.
Yi Niang walked up behind him and said softly: "Lang Jun, there is doubt about your identity. If you want to clear up all this, you must either flee to the Southern Zhou Dynasty or the Northern Liao Dynasty, or... just find a way out!"
Cao Ying stroked his beard, and at this moment his whole body seemed to be shining, "Many times, luck is also a kind of strength."
"Let's eat."
Yi Niang went to bring out the stewed mutton. All three of them had something on their minds and were not satisfied with the food.
"How will Mr. Lang decide?"
After eating, Cao Ying and Yiniang walked slowly in the yard.
"I don't know either." Yi Niang sighed: "It's a bit too hasty."
Cao Ying shook her head, "There is something wrong in Chang'an City."
"Have you noticed it too?" Yi Niang's eyes flashed.
"The sergeants guarding the city gate have been changed before it is time to rotate." Cao Ying's eyes showed a cold look for the first time, "There are also different voices within the Jinwu Guards, and the whole family is reaching out everywhere. Why does the emperor want to change the guards?
The sergeant at the city gate?"
"There is only one possibility." Yi Niang sneered, "He is afraid of death!"
"Who can let him die?"
There was more schadenfreude in the eyes of the two of them.
"Five surnames in a family, and the vassals behind them."
Yi Niang lowered her head, "Do you think Mr. Lang will refuse?"
Cao Ying shook her head, "Maybe."
"Then... what should we do?" The strong Yi Niang was as helpless as a girl at this moment.
Cao Ying stood with her hands behind her hands and said calmly: "I have my own way to ensure that Mr. Lang agrees."
"What method?" Yi Niang clenched her fists. If this hypocrite dares to deceive her, then just wait for blood to be splashed three feet away!
Cao Ying said sincerely: "Although we have only been together for half a day, I can see that my husband... is very affectionate."
Yi Niang nodded, "So what? You dare to take advantage of your husband's love... I can castrate you alive!"
Cao Ying's legs trembled slightly, "You are not smart enough to discuss such matters with me."
Yi Niang's hand grasped the hilt of the sword at her waist.
There was an evil look in her charming eyes.
Cao Ying sighed, "I'll lend you your sword later."
"What are you going to do?" Yi Niang was puzzled.
Cao Ying put her right hand into a palm on her neck, "What do you think, I put the sword on my neck, and Lang Jun killed himself if I didn't agree?"
"You are indeed shameless and took advantage of my husband's affection."
Yi Niang smiled happily and said, "Pull harder."
In the room, Yang Xuan was wearing headphones.
"I don't really believe what they said."
"If there is anyone in this world that I can trust, it is Yang Lue right now."
"Yang Lue gave his ring to Yi Niang, which shows that he knew what Yi Niang and the others were going to do."
"Yang Lue originally wanted me to live in Xiaohe Village for the rest of my life. He even chose a wife for me. The scholar's daughter... The scholar probably didn't succeed, but his daughter wanted to come here to be educated and sensible, able to run the family and teach the children to read. ...I will gradually become a country squire in the future. This is probably the arrangement of Yang Lue or my unknown father."
Yang Xuan touched the small earphones unaccustomedly.
The green light is flashing.
"But I still came to Chang'an." Yang Xuan was a little distressed, "Yiniang and the others probably want to form a small group with me as the leader. Then I will work hard to become an official and they will assist... But what will happen after I become an official? If you want to be able to mediate Yang Lue's affairs, it will take at least twenty years."
The green light stays on.
"I want to refuse and leave Chang'an. But as long as I think that Yang Lue is still in the Southern Zhou Dynasty... the people in Jingtai may besiege him and kill him for no sure time, I can't live freely and peacefully."
"I thought a lot and came up with countless reasons for rejection, but there was only one reason that overturned these reasons."
"Yang Lue spent fifteen years taking care of me, and he wasted fifteen years of himself... Those were the best years. He is still looking forward to it. I know that he definitely wants to see me safe and prosperous. "
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
Suzaku's voice came from the headphones.
"yes!"
Yang Xuan scratched his head, "But after I made this decision, I felt very happy. Even though the road ahead is extremely difficult, I feel at ease."
"Peace of mind." The green light flashed crazily, like a child who couldn't solve the problem and hit his forehead crazily.
Yang Xuan walked out.
He looked at Yiniang and Cao Ying.
Said in a very calm tone.
"I promise you."
The two people under the big tree slowly knelt down.
"I have met Mr. Lang."
Yang Xuan frowned, "Why are you kneeling?"
Yi Niang said softly: "Hurry up and answer."
When the two of them got up, Cao Ying said warmly: "There must be a leader among this group of people, so it's natural to worship him for the first time."
first……
But why do I think you kneel so well?
Yang Xuan sighed in his heart, "There happens to be something."
He needs to test Cao Ying's ability.
"Mr. Sir, please tell me."
"I am now studying in the Imperial College, and I have to go to Wannian County to hunt down the spies of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. So, what's the next step?"
Cao Ying almost didn't think about it, "The Imperial College can't be thrown away. Most of the students there have backgrounds. It's not necessary to make friends. After all, Lang Junming's family background is relatively low. The more you bow your head and make friends, the more those people will look down on you."
+1 point.
Yang Xuan nodded.
Lang Jun is becoming more and more leader-like.
Yi Niang beside her looked pleased.
Cao Ying looked at Yang Xuan gently, "The only thing Lang Jun can do in the Imperial College is to stand out. By the way, how is Lang Jun's cultivation?"
"It's not bad." Yang Xuan didn't know what level his cultivation level was, but it wasn't bad.
Cao Ying nodded, "This gives me greater confidence. After I entered the city, I also inquired about some information and learned that the emperor and the five surnames of his family seemed to be doing something."
"The current emperor is ruthless. During the late period of the empress' reign, the current emperor led people into the palace and successfully pushed Li Yuan, the current Supreme Emperor, to the throne. Two years later, he entered the palace again, and then Li Yuan
Abdicate and claim the title of Supreme Emperor. In the eyes of such an emperor, there is no family name, only power."
Cao Ying analyzed them one by one, "Since Li Yuan ascended the throne, he has been cleaning up the people of Emperor Xuande and Emperor Wu, including those who are filial to the emperor. The same is true after the current emperor ascended the throne."
"One emperor, one courtier." Yang Xuan said casually.
Cao Ying's eyes flashed, "Lang Jun summed it up well."
It was from a novel, Yang Xuan smiled.
"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor and the five surnames of the family have cooperated most of the time, and sometimes fought secretly. Although the emperor is the supreme, the five surnames of the family and the huge power behind them have made the emperor powerless. Therefore, the emperor's attitude towards the five surnames of the family has been
It’s...cooperation, confrontation, confrontation within cooperation.”
Very clear explanation.
Yang Xuan nodded slightly.
Cao Ying said confidently: "I also know that the emperor seems to be a little dissatisfied with the left prime minister. This is a hint."
Yang Xuan asked: "What hint?"
"The emperor has been on the throne for three years and has already established a firm foothold. Now all he has to do is to seize more power. With five surnames from one family joining forces, it will be difficult for him to shake him. The best opponents are the left prime minister and others."
"The Prime Minister Zuo has enlisted the help of the Wang family and the Imperial Academy, and he has some old friends around him. But since the emperor has given the hint, I am afraid that the whole family will swarm in, and Chang'an will have a storm."
This is the current background.
Yiniang added: "The princess at that time was the daughter of the left prime minister."
"Lang Jun is still an inconspicuous student now, just fishing in troubled waters." Cao Ying's eyes flashed, "Lang Jun, the suppression of Nanzhou's secret spies is an opportunity, and Lang Jun just accumulates merits."
"While Lang Jun is accumulating foundation in the Imperial College, he is also accumulating meritorious deeds in Wannian County. When the time comes, he can turn it into... a promotion."
"You all expect me to make meritorious deeds."
Yang Xuan seemed a little unhappy.
Cao Yingang wanted to explain.
Yang Xuan said: "There is an opportunity right now."
Cao Ying's eyes lit up, "Mr. Sir, please tell me."
Yang Xuan said: "I have taken credit for the seizure of more than ten boxes of treasure today."
Cao Ying's eyelids twitched and she said cautiously: "Lang Jun, this contribution... although it is not small, it is not big enough."
You clearly said that the credit is very small, why don’t you get it?
Yang Xuan said slowly: "But I recalled something wrong earlier. If I can prove that someone put those properties in intentionally, what credit will I get?"
Cao Ying narrowed her eyes, "If we can find out the movements of more secret spies in the future, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement!"
