Yang Qian, Duke of Zheng, was old and greedy for money, and was procrastinated in his work, and often had no principles to mess around. Therefore, neither Xiao Zhizhong, who was famous for his loyalty and integrity, nor Zong Chuke, who was famous for his insidiousness and treacherousness, liked this old guy.

Previously, Empress Wei was able to decisively approve the old guy's "Kai Bones". They didn't say it, but they were actually very happy. Other important characters in their faction were eager for Yang Qi to give up the position of Zhongshu Ling for everyone to be promoted according to their qualifications.

However, today Li Xian felt that the court had treated the old guy badly and wanted to give the Yang family more compensation. Xiao Zhizhong, Zong Chuke and others had no reason to stop him.

After all, the two are not young anymore. The more the compensation the court has given to the Yang family, the more benefits they will get when they retire and return home in the future. What's more, Li Xian did not want to recall Yang Sheng and continue to occupy the position of the Zhongshu Ling, squeezing the power space of the two and their faction.

So, Li Xian's wishes were implemented smoothly. The next day, Yang Qian received an imperial edict. In order to commend him for working for the country for half his life, Emperor Yingtian Shenlong and Empress Shuntian Yisheng specially gave him 1,000 taels of gold, 4,000 pieces of silk, and an additional fief of 500 acres.

In addition, the imperial edict also mentioned that his two grandsons who were officials outside had been transferred back to the capital, one was the young minister of Jingzhao Prefecture and the other was the Wai Lang, so that the grandchildren could meet day and night. The Yang family had already promised Tubo Zanpu's granddaughter, and also thought that he had withdrawn from the dowry because of his old age and allowed the Yang family to choose a son-in-law for this daughter. As for how the Tubo side would react after learning the news, no one took it seriously with the current military power of the Tang Dynasty.

"The old minister thanked the emperor for his kindness!" After hearing the imperial edict, Yang Zaisi insisted on kneeling down and thanking him for his kindness despite his old age and weak body. Then, he ordered his son Yang Ju, who had joined him to receive the imperial edict, to personally go to the backyard to pick up a white-hoofed black-headed black-headed black-headed black-headed black-headed black-headed king, who was responsible for reading the imperial edict.

Although Xue Sijian was an eunuch, she liked to play with swords and guns. I had heard that the Yang family of Hongnong was good at raising horses, but because their identity was far from that of the Secretary Yang Sheng, and they had never had the courage to ask for it. Today, when Yang Sheng was about to give him a white-hoofed blackbird to him, he was overjoyed. He bent his eyes and waved his hands repeatedly: "It's a broken evil, it's a broken evil. Yang Zhongshu? Our family is a slave? How can we be qualified to ride the descendants of the Six Horses of Zhaoling? When the governor Yang takes out the horse, our family will be satisfied when touched! I dare not accept such a generous gift from you!"

"General Xue doesn't have to be so polite? He has been given a hero since ancient times! What's more, this white-hoofed black man just rubs the name of one of the six horses? It's not the direct bloodline of the six horses. You are the confidant of the emperor. You have always been in and out of the forbidden palace. If you don't have a decent mount, wouldn't it be a loss of the emperor's face? Just took this horse? Walking on the streets of Chang'an in the future? It's more convenient!" Yang Qian accepted a bribe for a lifetime, but how could he not guess Xue Sijian's real idea? A few words made the other party unable to be polite to him anymore.

"Then, then I'm ashamed of me? I'm going to take it!" Xue Sijian narrowed his eyes and bowed happily.

He was Empress Wei’s confidant and had long passed the stage of being jealous of money. However, he could not refuse the temptation of the six horses of Zhaoling.

Although Yang Feng personally admitted that the so-called white-hoofed black is the name of one of the six horses, and it has no blood connection with the white-hoofed black that Emperor Taizong rode at that time. However, who doesn’t know that this is just a taboo statement. In fact, among the six horses of Zhaoling that year, at least three of the Yang family from Hongnong’s Yang family!

"This white-hoofed black is the descendant of the famous Dayuan horse and the iron-hoofed horse in Liaodong." Yang Sheng not only has good knowledge, but also knows it like a family. "Therefore, he has the advantages of Dayuan horses being good at sprinting and the great power of the Liao horse. The only disadvantage is to recognize the master. If he thinks that the master is either a hero or a hero, he will not let the other party ride it even if he starves to death."

"Ah" Xue Sijian heard the heat in his heart suddenly became half cold. The smile on his face also began to freeze.

Before he could think about whether he should ask Yang Ju to change himself to another mount. Yang Ju, the governor of the right camp of Wanqi, had personally led the Baituwu to the main hall where Yang's family received distinguished guests.

The horse was six and a half feet tall, with dark and shiny all over, with only four horse's hooves, as white as Hetian jade. The horse's temperament was indeed as proud as Yang Feng described, always raising his head high, looking around, like an emperor among beasts.

"All the beast, General Xue is a close minister of the emperor. You followed him, which is a fortune I cultivated in my previous life. Why don't you come forward to recognize your master quickly?" Yang Qian immediately sat up on the chair, dragged Xue Sijian's hand, and went to the door of the main hall in three steps, shouting sternly.

It's strange. As soon as the words were finished, the white-hoofed black roared and lowered his head. His two short ears gently swung towards the people in the hall, as cautious as a new wife when she met her parents-in-law.

"General Xue is indeed a hero. This white-hoofed black man will take the initiative to bow his head as soon as he sees it!" Yang Feng turned his head and laughed at Xue Sijian and exclaimed, "Since it has already bowed its head, General Xue, why not try it!"

"I, try now?" Xue Sijian was so happy that she was about to float up. She pointed her finger at her nose and murmured to ask. When she saw Yang Jing's appearance, she was not teasing herself. Although the white-hoofed black man was tall and majestic, she had no intention of slapping at her. She rubbed her hands and rushed down the steps, and couldn't wait to take the reins from Yang Ju.

As a result, as soon as the reins were met, his eyes were sucked on Baituwu. After watching for more than twenty breaths, he carefully stretched out his other hand to touch the neck of the war horse. When his fingers touched the neck of the horse, he quickly shrank back, which made the horse go crazy and made him kicked for nothing.

In this way, after stretching out his hand, he finally confirmed that Baituiuzi had the main idea. He trembled and stepped on the stirrups and climbed onto the saddle. He suddenly felt that he had become Luo Shixin in the world, and his heroic spirit arose from the bottom of his heart.

"General Xue, don't be polite. If you want to ride back to the palace, just leave now!" Yang Qian knew Xue Sijian's thoughts and bowed with a smile.

"No, I dare not, I dare not." Xue Sijian turned over and jumped off his mount, crossed his hands to Yang Sheng with the courtesy of a military general, "Thank you for giving him a famous horse to you. If you need Xue to serve in the future, even if you speak nonsense, Xue won't say much. Let's go back now and hand in the lord and the queen of the lord!"

"General Xue just go!" Yang Sheng leaned down and returned with a kindness. Then, he smiled and ordered his son, "What are you doing when you are standing there? Why don't you send General Xue out of the mansion for me? Open the main door and let General Xue ride out all the way!"

"I dare not, don't dare, I'm going out and riding again, and riding again when I go out!" Xue Sijian waved his hands with a smile. Then, he couldn't wait to hold the reins of the horse with one hand and stagger out. His legs were as soft as if he had drunk two kilograms of chrysanthemums.

According to my father's instructions, Yang Ju, the governor of Wanqi Camp, ordered people to open the main gate and send Xue Sijian and his followers out of the mansion. Then he watched the man jump onto his mount and left at lightning speed, and then returned to the main hall with a smile.

As soon as his feet crossed the threshold, he immediately smiled and gave his father a thumbs up, "Grandma, great! This Xue Sijian is the most acquaintance next to the Queen of Saints, and she is crazy about horses. From now on, he will definitely not forget the benefits of our family when he looks at Baituwu every day from now on!"

"If you can only see this layer, this white-hoofed black is completely wasted!" Yang Sheng, the former Secretary of the Central Committee, changed his happy appearance just now, glanced at his son and said worriedly.

"Ah!" Yang Ju's smile was stiff when he was hit, and he stood at a loss at the entrance of the main hall.

"Close the door!" Yang Sheng glanced at his son, feeling more and more disappointed. "Bunny appeared in the fox's nest. I was scolded for my life, but I raised you as a fool. It's really unhappy to retribution!"

"Yes, the master taught me a lesson, the child was just now!" Yang Ju didn't dare to make his father angry. She felt aggrieved and first praised him. Then she turned around and pulled up to the main hall door with her own hands.

In the main hall, it suddenly became a little dark, just like Yang Yan's mood at the moment. He sighed and drank tea for a while. After his mood calmed down, the old fox looked at his son who fell into clouds and whispered, "The emperor used to give kindness to the emperor, either sending officials to pass the order or Gao Yanfu personally took action. But today, Xue Sijian was replaced. Do you know why?"

"Xue Sijian is the confidant of the Queen of the Holy Emperor, and the Queen of the Emperor has repeatedly said that if he has a physical illness, the Queen of the Holy Emperor will come to the court for him." Yang Ju was definitely not a fool to be the governor of the place, and immediately gave the most direct answer.

However, after the words came to his voice, he was shocked, "Grandpa said that the Lord and the Queen of Saints have a rift, and the Queen of Saints began to take the initiative to seize power?"

"You are not stupid yet!" Yang Sheng was too lazy to say a kind thing to his son, and sneered and scolded him in a low voice, "The Holy Queen began to sign me as Duke of Zheng and allowed me to pray for bones, which was contrary to the will of the Lord. Now the Holy Queen and the Holy Queen suddenly gave us kindness. It must be that the Holy Queen knew about it and raised objections to the Queen's handling. The Holy Queen was still patient with the husband and wife's affection and could not bear to lose the Holy Queen's prestige, so he took the initiative to take a step back and did not recall my husband to the court again. However, the Holy Queen may not like the Holy Queen's decision to point fingers at her!"

"This, this, this..." Yang Ju could understand every word his father said, but he didn't know how to proceed.

The same kindness was given to the Yang family, and Gao Yanfu came to announce the edict, which meant that the kindness came from Emperor Yingtian Shenlong Li Xian and Xue Sijian came to announce the edict, but it meant that the kindness came from Empress Shuntian Yisheng Wei Wushuang! Although the emperor and the empress were husband and wife, if the emperor and the empress had a conflict, the Yang family would inevitably face the choice of taking the team!

"You write a memorial for me and thank the emperor and the queen." Seeing my son's at a loss, Yang Feng shook his head helplessly and ordered in a deep voice, "Don't send it directly to the palace. If you go there, you will hand it over from the court step by step. In addition, our Yang family has received such great kindness from the emperor and the queen, and you must do anything to repay you. You volunteer to go to Zhang Renyuan's tent to serve in order to fight against the Turks for the court. I am still strong, and having your son and daughter by my side is enough, and you will not be able to use you yet!"

"Yes, yes!" Yang Ju nodded repeatedly, then was shocked, "Grandpa, do you mean that I asked me to resign from the governor of the Wanqi Camp and serve in the Shuofang Army? Zhang Renyuan's account is full of talents, where is my place?"

This is not unreasonable to ask.

The governor of Wanqi Camp is only a fourth-rank military general, and his official position cannot be considered high. However, the governor of Wanqi Camp is responsible for the responsibility of defending the palace, with great power and extremely prominent status. Anyone sitting in this position, unless he is demoted by mistake, is released, at least one of the generals of the Sixteen Guards. Zhang Renyuan himself is the general, how could another general be his subordinate?

"There is no place for you in the Wanqi Camp!" Yang Sheng was so experienced. He immediately guessed that his son was reluctant to give up the great future represented by the Wanqi Camp. He raised his eyes and scolded him sternly, "Just with your little conscience, being the governor of the Wanqi Right Camp, sooner or later, you will lose your life in a mess! If you go to Zhang Renyuan, even if you can't be a third-rank general, you can at least be a fourth-rank chief minister and supervise the food and military supplies for him. As long as I haven't died for a day, you will be comfortable, and Zhang Renyuan has no worries."

The same fourth-rank official, Shuofang Army Chief, had a far better future than the governor of the Wanqi Right Camp. In order to please the emperor, Yang Ju, who could even send his daughter to Ying and marry Tubo, could he be willing to do it? However, under the power of his father Yang Sheng, he did not dare to force himself, so he had to agree with a grievance and aggrievedly, and then began to think about how to get Yang Sheng to take back his life.

"The most important thing for our dynasty is to expand territory. In the autumn battle against the Turks, Zhang Renyuan has been preparing for many years, and there is no reason to lose!" Seeing all his son's expressions, Yang Sheng sighed again and explained in a low voice, "You go to Zhang Renyuan's side, even if you are just a chief minister who manages food, we can be directly appointed as a marquis with this military achievements. In this way, we can guarantee that our Yang family will be rich for twenty years. But the premise is that you should not stand in a row in the midst of court disputes."

After a pause, he continued to add, "Don't think that once I die, you are at least a founding county duke, much higher than the founding marquis! How can you earn the toughness you earn by inheriting the titles Yu Yin of your father? Look at the Cheng family, the three generations of dukes, still fought hard to farm for the court in Guazhou and Sha Prefectures. And the children of the Qin family are more attentive than those of the other, and they will have to be given a few Jinshi in the future. Look at the Chu family, which was also a family that was a big one at that time. Now, the sons and nephews of the Chu family have to flatter and rest assured! "

"Well, Grandpa is right, I'll write the memorial now!" Yang Ju is also in his fifties. Although he is a little more utilitarian, he can still tell the difference. He sighed and nodded vigorously.

Yang Feng was still worried and continued to whisper, "Remember what I said just now, don't stand in a random way. Even after sweeping the Turkic temple, you'd better be the best. Take the initiative to volunteer to stay in the north of the desert for the court. Don't always think about the prosperity of the capital. If I'm gone one day, you might as well take the opportunity to stay mourning for three years and return to Hongnong's hometown."

"Grandpa said that the conflict between the Lord and the Queen of Saints will become more and more intense?" Yang Ju was shocked again when she heard it, bent down and asked her father seriously.

"The saint's character will not easily conflict with the saint queen. Even if there is a conflict, it should not involve outsiders." Yang Feng shook his head at first, then sighed, "However, the saint's physical condition is probably not much better than that of me. I am not worried that the conflict between the saint and the saint queen will become more and more intense. What I am worried about is behind the saint."

He quickly looked out the window, and his voice suddenly became extremely low, "The Holy Queen is used to saying the Nine Cauldrons. The Holy Queen can tolerate her everywhere. But one day the Holy Queen will disappear, but the Holy Queen does not know how to retreat bravely. How can the Tang Dynasty royal family and the civil and military officials in the court tolerate the appearance of a second Wu Zetian in the court?!"

"Ah" Yang Ju shivered and in an instant, sweating profusely.

He was transferred from the position of governor of Shanzhou and appointed as the governor of Wanqi Right Camp. He always felt that his future was bright. Until now, he suddenly realized that he had been on the edge of a cliff without realizing it.

The Wanqi Camp is an imperial guard, and it is natural to be loyal to the emperor and the empress. If the Li royal family clashes with the Wei family headed by the empress, the governors of the Wanqi Zuo and Right Camp will be the first target that needs to be won over or eliminated! With his foundation in the Wanqi Camp, it is probably more likely to be listed as the latter. It would be strange if he can save his head!

"Hide farther, it's best for you!" Seeing that his son finally got his head open, Yang Qi nodded, "The reason why I have been able to be a third-rank subordinate of the Secretariat when I was in power, I have been safe and sound until now. I rely on not doing evil. Nowadays, it is too difficult to be a loyal minister and a loyal minister. I guarantee that I will not be stained with the blood of innocent people. As long as I have the heart, I can still do it."

"Yes, Grandpa!" Yang Ju raised her hand and wiped her cold sweat, and agreed to be convinced.

Finally, a thoughtful thing happened, and a noticeable look of fatigue appeared on Yang Feng's face. However, he forced himself to drink a few sips of tea, and then continued to remind him, "Qingfeng already has a heart. This time, the emperor specially released her from the dowry team because of the relationship between me and me for many years. Don't make any suggestions and arrange his marriage randomly."

"Yes, Grandpa!" Yang Ju was still a little unconscious and nodded obediently. Then, he glared in surprise, "There is something that Qingfengxin belongs to? Why has she never told her mother? The emperor knows this! God, she is so brave that she has no edge!"

"Why didn't she tell her mother that you still have the face to ask?" Yang Feng raised his face again and whispered, "She told her mother that will you and your wife help her? I have said long ago that if you want wealth, you can earn with your ability! No matter how much you do, you will not let the emperor look up to you!"

"Yes, yes!" Yang Ju was scolded and blushed and raised her hand to sweat again. "What my grandfather taught me was that I was indeed blinded by lard at that time. Fortunately, the emperor was kind..."

"The Lord is really kind!" Yang Feng glared at his son again and shook his head gently, "But the main reason why he can put Qingfeng home is that Qingfeng has vision! The people she likes have made many great achievements, and the Lord has to help them."

"Who is it? Whose family's children and grandchildren?" Yang Ju was stunned again when she heard it, and then couldn't wait to ask, "Why don't I have any impression of it? If I had any impression of it, back then..."

"It's not someone's children and grandchildren, he came alone!" Yang Feng suddenly smiled, his old face full of appreciation, "In just a few years, a sky was created. I saw him for the first time and knew that he would not let the green water. I was still worried about how to help them. But I didn't expect that people didn't need me at all."

He looked at his confused son again, and he nodded proudly, "You are also a blessing. When I am here, you can rely on me. One day I am gone and you will encounter something difficult to decide, you can ask my grandson-in-law. He is so smart that he will never watch you suffer a loss!"
