At Zhong Yao's residence in Chang'an, Zhong Yao, who was supposed to practice calligraphy at this time every day, was receiving a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.
"I wonder what Zhong Shangshu is thinking about?" Yang Xiu lowered his head and fiddled with the teacup indifferently, making Zhong Yao completely confused about his thoughts.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." Zhong Yao shook his head. He had always kept a low profile in Chang'an, and he was a big fan of Cai Yong. He was the minister when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and he had no control over him when Wang Yun was in power.
, we can only let Zhong Yao continue to be his minister. When Li Que and Guo Bang come back, Zhong Yao will continue to be his minister.
In short, all the changes in Chang'an seemed to be unable to affect Zhong Yao. He should still eat, drink, write books, and read Cai Yong's copybooks, but now Yang Xiu asked him to help in the name of saving the emperor.
Zhong Yao wouldn't be that stupid. In his opinion, Yang Xiu was still too young.
"The time hasn't come yet, right?" Yang Xiu said with a smile. He was not dissatisfied with being rejected, and his expression was still cheerful. "Then please ask Zhong Shangshu for your help. When the time comes, Xiu will come to greet you again."
Zhong Yao couldn't help but pause while stroking the tea cup. He couldn't help but look at Yang Xiu with some surprise. He thought a lot and said slowly, "I'll ask Taiwei Yang to help me when the time comes."
"Then thank you Zhong Shangshu." Yang Xiu said with a smile, "I will definitely tell my father about this matter, and I also ask Zhong Shangshu to think twice before doing anything. My Yang family is now exhausted, and these things can be done at once
No more, I ask the minister to act with caution in the future."
Zhong Yao's eyes flickered, and he was a little unsure whether what Yang Xiu said was true. After a long time, he sighed. "Dezu is indeed a wise man whose reputation is known all over the world. The Yang family will never decline in this world."
Yang Xiu calmly accepted Zhong Yao's praise, "Now that the minister has understood it, I won't stay for a long time. The two thieves Li and Guo are too wary of my Yang family. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and me to communicate with each other in the future."
"This one time is enough. I think you, Yang Dezu, are also people who make decisions before taking action. You don't need any contact. I thought that when the opportunity comes, we will seize it." Zhong Yao said with a chuckle, and then
Yang Xiuyi's army was able to win the game.
"In that case, it's settled." Yang Xiu said calmly. There was no trace of anger or dissatisfaction, and he was very satisfied with Zhong Yao's proposal.
Watching Yang Xiu's carriage leave, Zhong Yao, who was standing at the door, looked slightly solemn. The Yang family actually still has so much residual strength. Should it be said that he underestimated this super wealthy family with five generations and three fathers?
Sitting in the car, Yang Xiu closed his eyes and slowly thought about everything today. Zhong Yao had been deceived by him. The Yang family had already lost most of its foundation in the Dong Zhuo Rebellion and the Li Guo Rebellion.
.
Even now, mutual accusations have begun within the Yang family. The direct lineage faction that originally proposed a top-down, political evasion of the emperor's position is now in pieces, and many Yang family members have turned to their in-law Yuan Shu.
Compared to the direct line faction who angrily criticized Dong Zhuo, Li Que, Guo Si and others who only knew about force but no politics, and had no regard for the rules of the game, Yang Xiu treated them calmly. He knew it all too well.
If there was no real hope of ousting the emperor, the Yang family would not fully support this proposal. Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo had no idea of playing politics at all, and even directly deposed the emperor, massacred ministers, and directly destroyed most of the Yang family's officialdom. Later, he heard that
Li Ru advised to recall the elites of the Qing Dynasty during the period of Party control. Dong Zhuo, who played a balanced game, was not an emperor, but better than an emperor.
Thinking back to the time when the Yang family and the Yuan family joined forces to drive out all the famous people from the Xun family, the Chen family, and the Cui family, the two parties tacitly agreed that the Yang family would evade the royal family from top to bottom.
The Yuan family’s decision to plunder political power from the bottom up.
As a result, the situation is now like this, and the Yuan family has been playing vigorously outside. Yuan Shu controls most of Yuzhou, Jiangbei, and several counties in Jingzhou. Yuan Shao holds Jizhou and merges the states to overwhelm Youzhou, with strong soldiers and horses. This makes him breathless now.
How embarrassing is the situation of the Yang family? Everyone is a wealthy family with four generations and three fathers. Why is the old Yang family so unlucky?
Now the Yang family has fully understood that if they do not escape from Chang'an, their previous plan will have no room for implementation. After leaving Chang'an, whether it is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, or Liu Bei, in their opinion, they must abide by the rules of the game.
After all, those people were nobles with status and status, not barbarians like Dong Zhuo, Li Que, and Guo Si!
For the Yang family, it is not scary to have harsh rules. What is scary is that there are no rules. People hold the power of life and death and can kill you at any time if you are not satisfied. This kind of feeling that everyone is a knife and you are a slave and I am a fish is really unbearable for the proud Yang family!
Now the Yang family had to try one last time - to take the little emperor out of Chang'an and go to the territory of a certain prince, and then use the rules of the game to ignore the little emperor, and then use this power to gradually annex the other party.
What Yang Xiu is doing now is to let Zhong Yao understand that their Yang family still has strength. Although it is not much, it is enough to help him, so that the Yang family can hide in Zhong Yao's trenches, so that Zhong Yao can attack him when necessary.
Being able to take care of the remaining strength of the Yang family, Yang Xiu didn't care much about who Zhong Yao was contacting. What he valued was Zhong Yao's opportunity to escape from Chang'an. In his opinion, as long as he took the little emperor to escape from Chang'an,
That can be said to be a trapped dragon ascending to heaven!
As for the fact that Zhong Yao threatened him with no connection, Yang Xiu didn't take it seriously by relying on the wisdom of both parties. It wasn't that he underestimated Zhong Yao, but that Yang Xiu was confident that his intelligence was not weaker than anyone else in the world.
, it is absolutely impossible for Zhong Yao to create waves in his hands.
Yang Xiu had no idea that due to the great loss of Yang family's strength, he had no way to know that Zhong Yao's next sect was Cao Cao. But thinking about it, even if Yang Xiu knew that his next sect was Cao Cao, he would only be glad that he was out of the sea of misery, and would not think about it.
Would living with Cao Cao really be better than living in Chang'an?
The aura of the fourth and third sons of the Yang family has made Yang Xiu intoxicated. This is glory but it is also a constraint. Yang Xiu is obviously so intelligent that he can see Zhong Yao's plan and the cracks gradually emerging between Li Que and others.
, I can guess what Zhong Yao wants to do, but he is restrained by this halo and cannot think about what will be different after escaping from Chang'an. What a glorious title the Fourth World and the Three Dukes are, but without power, how much will there be?
Surrounded by hungry wolves.
After watching Yang Xiu leave, Zhong Yao shook his head and walked back. He didn't think Cao Cao was a kind person, especially when the world was in chaos, anyone who could separate one side was not an economical lamp.
[Dezu, maybe your wisdom is indeed good, but your vision is too short-sighted. The long-term glory of the Yang family has made you ignore too many things. The rise of a family is always accompanied by the decline of its predecessors. After Chang'an, whether the Yang family will rise from the ashes or collapse depends on your choice. Cao Mengde will give you a chance, but he will never tolerate it again and again.] Zhong Yao compared Cao Cao's character with Yang Xiu's wisdom and couldn't help but sigh.
