Yang family.

In the study room, Yang Daosi was half leaning on a soft chair, reading quietly.

Yang Chengjiu opened the door and walked in. He came to Yang Daosi's side and chuckled: "Father, today's hunting is quite lively outside."

Yang Daosi said quietly: "Everyone is gone. It's rare to find such tranquility in the capital."

"That's what father said."

Yang Chengjiu whispered something and stopped talking. He stood there quietly. Yang Daosi continued to read. After reading for a while, he put down the book in his hand and tried to sit up.

Yang Chengjiu quickly helped his father sit up and whispered: "Father, Yang Zuo, and Yang An wrote letters and they were quite dissatisfied."

Yang Daosi sneered and said: "Why, Yang Binglin started to get emotional when his path was not working?"

Yang Zuo and Yang An were both descendants of the Yang family and were of the same generation as Yang Chengjiu, but their backgrounds were much higher than that of Yang Chengjiu. They were the direct sons of Yang Daozheng, the second brother of Yang Daosi, and Yang Daosi and Yang Daozheng had the same father and mother.

's biological brother.

Yang Zuo is now the defense envoy of Yizhou, and Yang An is the governor of Lingzhou. They are very close to Yang Binglin. Two years ago, when Yang Binglin was quite powerful in the family, Yang Zuo and Yang An hoped that through Yang Binglin,

To go further, Yang Binglin actively worked to achieve this, but in the end, it was vetoed by Yang Daosi.

As Yang Binglin was transferred to a local post, the official positions of Yang Zuo and Yang An had not changed in the past two years. As a result, they gradually became somewhat dissatisfied with Yang Daosi.

"Father, Yang Zuo and Yang An have been officials in the same place for five or six years, but they have never been promoted. Some of their thoughts are understandable."

Yang Chengjiu had a relatively gentle personality and did not want to see the relationship between people of the same clan deteriorate, so he gave words of persuasion.

Yang Daosi didn't say anything, but stretched out his hand: "Where are their letters?"

Yang Chengjiu quickly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yang Daosi.

There was only one letter between the two of them. The letter was written by Yang An. He exaggerated the local achievements of himself and Yang Zuo, and also mentioned the deputy envoy of Wenzhou Jiedu, the governor Xue Qicheng. It seemed casual, but in fact it showed that

What? When Yang An was appointed governor of Lingzhou, Xue Qicheng was just a lieutenant general under him. Now six years later, he is still where he is, but Xue Qicheng has been promoted one after another, and has become the deputy envoy of Wenzhou Jiedu concurrently as Wenzhou.

The governor of the state has already surpassed himself. The entire letter seems to be written in a normal way, just reporting on the recent work situation, but the words in the words are full of complaints and dissatisfaction.

After Yang Daosi read it, he looked normal, put down the letter, picked up the pen, and wrote on it.

"One and one are two, two and two are four, four and four are eight, eight and eight are sixteen, and nine and nine are nineteen."

Yang Chengjiu looked at his father's writing on the letter, and couldn't help but show confusion on his face. Why did his father suddenly write this?

After finishing writing, Yang Daosi took the letter to Yang Chengjiu and said quietly: "What do you think is the problem?"

Yang Chengjiu looked at his father and said softly: "This...last question seems to have been calculated wrong?"

Yang Daosi sneered and said: "Everything was right in the beginning. You don't care at all, but you only see the last mistake. It's the same as a human being. If you treat him well ten times, maybe he will forget it. If he doesn't go well once, he will be obliterated.

After all, don’t you know what kind of character Yang Zuo and Yang An are? They didn’t even pass the imperial examination. If they didn’t have their father’s influence and support from their family, they wouldn’t even be a seventh-grade official.

You don’t have any qualifications, so what qualifications do you have to be dissatisfied with?”

Yang Chengjiu's whole body trembled slightly, and he said with sincere conviction: "What the father said is absolutely true, the child understands."

Yang Daosi said quietly: "Return the letter to Yang An. If you can understand it, continue to be his official. If you can't understand it, then resign and go back to your hometown to recuperate."

"Yes, father."

Yang Chengjiu bowed and said.

Yang Daosi shook his head and sighed: "I am the right prime minister, and your third uncle is in Jiannan, holding 50,000 elite Shu soldiers. I am the sword, and he is the shield. With these two things, the Yang family cannot fall."

, if you pass it, you will bring disaster upon yourself."

After listening to his father's words, Yang Chengjiu suddenly understood that although Zhao Zhi had reorganized the political affairs hall, as long as his father was still in the position of right minister, the Yang family's dominant position in the court would definitely continue.

In Jiannan today, the Yang family already has Yang Dao'an, commanding an elite army of 50,000 people. If Yang Zuo and Yang An, who are also in Jiannan, are promoted to Jiedu envoys, then the Yang family's power in Jiannan will be reduced.

It's just a little too big.

Yang Binglin mobilized his family's power several times in an attempt to promote Yang Zuo and Yang An to the post of military envoy. However, there was considerable resistance and the ministers had some serious differences in their opinions. However, with the power of the Yang family in the court, Yang Binglin tried his best to promote this move.

Things were still developing in a strong direction. Over time, the promotions of Yang Zuo and Yang An were finally completed. Despite this, Zhao Zhi and Yang Daosi at that time always remained silent.

He did not express any personal opinions. At that time, Yang Chengjiu was quite puzzled by this.

Recalling what Yang Daosi had just said, at this moment, Yang Chengjiu suddenly thought that not long after the Battle of Longyou, Zhao Zhi reorganized the Zhengshitang and immediately transferred Li Zhong back to Beijing to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War and Left Chancellor of the Zhengshitang. After that,

Yang Binglin mentioned the matter of Yang Zuo and Yang An again. At that time, Zhao Zhi and Yang Daosi still did not say anything, but Li Zhong responded accordingly and made a suggestion to transfer 100,000 elites from Anbei back.

Fengjing, exchanged with the Central Forbidden Army.

After Li Zhong made this suggestion, the whole court was shocked.

Later, Yang Binglin was transferred to a local official, and there was no further news about the promotion of Yang Zuo and Yang An. Similarly, Li Zhong's suggestion was also rejected by Zhao Zhi. At that time, Yang Chengjiu was a local official.

I knew these things, but didn't know the deep meaning. Now that I think about it carefully, Yang Chengjiu couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart. If the Yang family was still strong at that time and forced Yang Zuo and Yang An to be promoted, then... 100,000

The Anbei elite were transferred back to Fengjing, and the Yang family...

Yang Daosi glanced at Yang Chengjiu who was deep in thought, shook his head and said nothing.

What Yang Chengjiu thought of for a long time was actually just the surface. For a while, Yang Binglin jumped up and down and dominated the entire family. Yang Daosi always remained silent and allowed Yang Binglin to do what he did. It seemed that he was getting older and had more and more control over the family.

The weaker, this reason exists, but it is only a very small part of it. Yang Daosi has been the right minister for decades. His prestige is so high that even Zhao Zhi is extremely afraid of him. Even if he is old, he is by no means a mere one.
