In the crowd, Sun Xian looked at this scene and said to Lin Qian, his in-law next to him: "Do you still want to be loyal to the emperor now?"
I'm not that stupid... Lin Qian shook her head, "I am only loyal to myself."
Countless people were bowing their heads, and the two of them were somewhat conspicuous.
Before Helianyan's eyes turned around, Sun Xian lowered his head decisively, "Lower your head!"
So, in the entire long street, apart from Tian Xin and others, only Yang Xuan raised his head.
He looked calm and said, "I know."
Han Ji whispered: "I seem to have heard a cry, no courtesy!"
Everyone in the small group of Han rebels knew what he was thinking. He Lianyan rolled her eyes and said, "I think you are the most suitable person to enter the palace and serve personally."
"Are you going to attack Tian Xin and others on the road?"
Jielong asked.
He Lianyan shook his head. "Let them go back, and the emperor's punishment will be even more severe. Let's just watch the fun."
Tian Xin knew that his end would not be good, and the only way to save himself was to try his best...to demonstrate the imperial power.
Let the outside world see your hard work and fearlessness.
"This is the Northern Territory of the Tang Dynasty, and this is your Majesty's Northern Territory!"
He shouted filial piety.
Yang Xuan slowly walked over, supported Liu Qing and Song Zhen, and smiled at the officials and generals.
As for Guan He and Zeng Fan, they looked at Tian Xin in despair.
Tian Xin had promised beforehand that he would take their two families away regardless of whether things were done or not.
This is also the reason why they dare to come forward.
However, Tian Xin was shouting hysterically at this moment.
He is begging for death!
It doesn't matter if you die, don't take us with you!
Guan He glanced at Yang Xuan.
Yang Guogong ignored Tian Xin and walked over.
Turning around, facing the civil and military officials, he said:
"If you have something to do, do something; if you have nothing to do, just rest!"
The civil and military officials dispersed.
Yang Xuan turned around and said to the people: "What's so good about this? Just go and do what you have to do, the work in the fields waits for no one."
The people laughed loudly and then dispersed. Only a group of children were left, looking at Tian Xin and others curiously.
"Your Majesty! I have done my best!"
Tian Xin's cry seemed particularly lonely.
Yang Xuan came over.
"Do you know where Chang'an went wrong?"
Tian Xin raised his head, his eyes fierce.
He just wants a quick death!
Yang Xuan said: "In my eyes, you are just an ant, and I don't bother to kill you."
Tian Xin was desperate.
Yang Xuan said: "If you stay in Chang'an for a long time, you will feel that everything outside Chang'an is in the countryside.
When you see too many noble people, you will feel that everyone except the noble people is just ants, and a sense of superiority will arise spontaneously.
Both the emperor and you are accustomed to looking down at the people of the world with a condescending attitude. You and others take it for granted that the majesty of the emperor is a divine gift. Who dares to blaspheme the gods?
But you have forgotten one thing. Before there were emperors, the world was a tribe. The leader of the tribe was not based on how noble his bloodline was, but on whether the person led everyone to seek a better life.
Ability.
The nobles in the palace have forgotten all this and think they are so noble, but in the eyes of the people, the most noble thing is not the emperor, but the person who can lead them to seek a better life!"
Yang Xuan pointed to himself, "In Northern Xinjiang, that person is me!"
Not the emperor!
The world is really sick.
The emperor took it for granted that he could manipulate the country and the people of the world at will.
He regards the country as a doll and the people of the world as tools.
Yang Xuan shook his head, feeling that he was out of tune with Chang'an.
In this case, let Chang'an adapt to itself.
He walked back.
Han Ji followed and said softly: "My lord, you are mighty!"
"I would rather give up these so-called powers and just seek a peaceful and prosperous age!"
Han Ji glanced at him and felt that his words were sincere, "You have pulled Northern Xinjiang out of the abyss. I am very happy and congratulated."
"But there's still the north, there's the south, there's still the western border... The Tang Dynasty is sinking." Yang Xuan walked slowly.
"Only I can save the Tang Dynasty. This is my responsibility and my wish!"
He Lianyan came over to ask for instructions.
"How to deal with Zeng Fan and the other two?"
Yang Xuan waved his hand and said calmly: "There is no need to ask me about such things!"
He Lianyan bowed slightly and said, "Yes."
She turned back and said to He Lianrong: "Capture both Zeng Fan and put them in prison for torture and interrogation."
"Take your orders!"
The pleadings of Zeng Fan and the two came from behind, but Yang Xuan turned a deaf ear.
The process of saving Datang will not be too peaceful.
Yang Xuan had to have the courage to face the blood and the mental preparation to step on flesh and blood to reach the top.
"The road to kingship paved with blood!"
He shook his head slightly, "I don't know if I will regret it when I look back at my path when I reach that peak."
Ahead, Ning Yayun flicked her tail, "Today Liu Qing and others publicly expressed their loyalty to you. The emperor in Chang'an will definitely think that you are a hero. Zitai, are you ready?"
"What are you preparing for?" Yang Xuan asked.
Ning Yayun said: "The country is picturesque, are you ready?"
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Why do you need to prepare for such things?"
"I don't know where your courage comes from. Seeing you humiliating the emperor's envoys, seeing you calmly facing the loyalty of the soldiers and civilians of Northern Xinjiang, at that moment, I felt that the world would be turbulent. But you swore allegiance to the Tang Dynasty...
"
"Yes!" Yang Xuan said: "I will definitely be loyal to the Tang Dynasty in this life."
"What about Ah Liang?"
"Are you thinking that if I lay the foundation, A Liang will seize the country?"
"This is also a way!"
"No such thing!" Yang Xuan said: "A Liang will also be loyal to the Tang Dynasty."
"In that case, where did you get the appearance of a dragon and a snake?"
"Uh! Maybe you saw it wrong."
"Yeah?"
"It must be, how about you buy a pair of tortoise hats later? If you don't have the money, just say it and I'll pay for it!"
"I'm not short of money!" Lao Shuaiguo rubbed his eyes, "That shouldn't be the case!"
Yang Xuan entered the house with him.
"A Liang."
When Ah Liang saw Ning Yayun, it was like meeting another father. He was very friendly, which made Yang Xuan a little bit disgusted.
"Headmaster." A Liang enunciated the words very clearly now.
Ning Yayun said with a smile: "A Liang, do you want to go talk to the gods?"
Isn't it just to cultivate the atmosphere within metaphysics? You have to use some excuse to talk to the gods, and you are not afraid of being punished by the gods.
"good!"
A Liang happily agreed.
Yang Xuan agreed, because Zhou Ning was about to give birth, so it would be nice to let A Liang go to metaphysics to relax.
He entered the room.
Wu Luo is reporting accounts to Zhou Ning.
This is a helper!
Yang Guogong sat down, leaned on the eucalyptus table, picked up a book and flipped through it.
Zhou Ning had some spots on his face and asked: "How is it? You didn't do anything, did you?"
"Do you think I am such an impulsive person?" Yang Xuan asked.
Wu Luo stood up and left.
Zhou Ning watched her go out, "When you act in a sophisticated way, you often make me think that this is what the Lord of Northern Territory should be like, but sometimes you get impulsive and it catches people off guard. If someone angers you, no matter who it is, you dare to
Take action."
Yang is an example.
"A letter from home said that the Yang family's siege on the Zhou family was about to fail, and you arrived in Chang'an again. Many people were watching you, wondering how you would vent your anger on the Zhou family.
Most people said that you would scold Yang Songcheng and make him lose face in public. But what I didn't expect was that you burned down the door of the Yang family in Yingchuan, and even ordered your subordinates to attack the Yang family..."
In this era, there are rules for how to fight between noble families and between carnivores.
Yang Songcheng dared to attack the Zhou family, with the support of the emperor and many aristocratic families behind him.
Zhou Qin and his men succeeded in retaliating. Logically speaking, Yang Xuan, the son-in-law, should have stopped. At most, he would have scolded Yang Songcheng and secretly put a sack on a certain Yang clan member and beat him severely.
This is in line with everyone's expectations.
Who knew that Yang Xuan was an unruly man. He not only knocked down the walls of the Yang family, but also ordered the accompanying Xuanjia cavalry to attack the Yang family.
"Those are the rules!" Zhou Ning said the rules, but his face was shining with pride.
Her man fought for her!
"I didn't make the rules, so what do they have to do with me?"
Yang Xuan said lazily, "Chang'an bribed two civil and military officials under my command. When the decree was read out earlier, the two men suddenly knelt down and shouted loyalty to the emperor."
Zhou Ning was surprised, "This is to attack your prestige."
Yang Xuan held her hand and felt it was a little swollen, so he squeezed it gently, "The emperor thought that Song Zhen and others would not dare to go against his will. After all, they are orthodox!"
Zhou Ning couldn't help but be happy, "Isn't he trapping himself in a cocoon?"
"Song Gong took the lead in showing allegiance to me, and the chamberlain's face turned green."
"But don't underestimate the emperor."
"I have never underestimated him." Yang Guogong said confidently: "The last time I returned to Chang'an, he easily reorganized the guards in Chang'an and took control of most of them. This man's skills are indeed extraordinary."
"Yes!" Zhou Ning smoothed the hair beside his face for him, "Aweng is very capable, but once he fails, he will draw a wall as a prison and imprison himself in his home. This is not because he is afraid of Yang Songcheng, but more because he is afraid of the emperor.
"
Li Mi's skills were already outstanding during the Emperor Wu period.
The filial emperor was deposed, and his shadow was behind him.
The filial emperor was killed by poison, and his shadow was probably behind him.
Force Emperor Wu into the palace, force Li Yuan into the palace... and ascend the throne as emperor.
Looking at the annals of history, most of the emperors with such skills were heroes.
But Li Mi is a weirdo, he only loves power and does not love the country.
"The guards of Chang'an?"
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "I will go and meet you for a while."
He talked with his wife for a long time, and later helped her move around.
"Aye!"
The eldest young master has gone home.
The couple watched their son being carried in by Chen Wuniang, the swordsman crossed the threshold lightly, and the rich fell behind.
"Is it fun?" Zhou Ning asked.
“Fun!”
Ah Liang sat down and Hua Hong poured him a glass of water.
Ah Liang held the water cup, drank a few sips of water, raised his head suddenly, and made a sound, so naive.
"Aniang, where is my sister?"
Zhou Ning touched his belly and said, "Maybe he's his younger brother."
"Oh!" A Liang looked a little disappointed.
The little kid waved, "Swordsman, riches!"
The leopard walked to his side and lay down on his side, while Fugui was on the other side.
The leopard looked at the host and hostess indifferently, wagging its tail in a flattering manner.
Ah Liang leaned back against the swordsman, said words that his parents could not understand, and gradually fell asleep.
Yang Xuan and Zhou Ning looked at this scene with smiles and couldn't help but smile at each other.
The spring breeze outside was slightly cold, and a little green was trying to emerge on the branches; the maids walked carefully under the verandah, and when they saw Yi Niang standing under the eaves, they all saluted.
The days are like this, passing by in an imperceptible way.
Yang Xuan paid attention to his wife's childbirth, and left almost all political affairs to Liu Qing and Song Zhen.
But he has his own eyes and ears.
After dinner, Yang Xuan took A Liang for a walk in the yard.
He Lianyan followed beside him and smiled at Aliang, "Chang'an promised that after this incident, Zeng Fan can be admitted to the Sixth Division, at least as a doctor."
"Where's Guan He?"
"Guan He...Jiang Cunzhong is asking for forgiveness outside."
Yang Xuan hugged his son and said in a leisurely manner: "He doesn't dare to see me?"
"Guan He corrupts military pay."
"I implement a system of supervision in the military, why is no one reporting it?"
"They all benefited."
"A nest of eucalyptus?"
"yes."
"But it was noticed by the mirror."
He Lianyan lowered his head and said, "Jinyiwei has embarrassed you."
"You can't lose my face!" Yang Xuan said, "This matter has little to do with Jiang Cunzhong. He came to plead guilty. What did Nan He say?"
Compared with Jiang Cunzhong and others who frequently appear in the spotlight, Nan He is like a sweeping monk, and most people cannot feel his existence at all.
"I've met Mr. Lang."
Yang Xuan went to the front yard, where Nan He and Jiang Cunzhong were waiting.
"Seventeen people were involved in this matter, and they were all arrested."
"I pay more attention to how to avoid it next time!" Yang Xuan said.
Nan He glanced at Jiang Cunzhong, and Jiang Cunzhong said: "Guan He used to be a subordinate of a lower official."
The military has its own system, and it is very common to rely on the relationship between superiors and subordinates to expand one's network and sphere of influence.
"The lower official is guilty!"
Jiang Cunzhong knelt down.
Nan He knelt down and said, "This official made an oversight!"
He is Yang Xuan's representative in the army, and this matter was indeed overlooked.
"I said, I pay more attention to how to avoid the next time."
The eldest young master flattened his mouth and Yang Xuan coaxed him a few times.
Jiang Cunzhong said: "When I turned around, I became alienated from those people."
Nan He said: "Let ordinary sergeants be able to report reports beyond their rank. However, this should not be done too widely. Otherwise, the hierarchy in the army will be gone, the dignity of superior officers will be gone, and military orders will be difficult to implement during wartime."
"I know."
Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Even beggars are forming gangs, not to mention in the military and officialdom. It is normal to expand your network and relationships. But you must be measured and don't make it too big. By then, I will
We can only cut off that tail for them with a sword!"
At that time, the Duke will probably kill someone... Jiang Cunzhong and the others said with awe in their hearts, "Yes."
"One." Yang Xuan said.
The two hurriedly listened carefully for fear of missing a word.
"I will handle the payment of military pay level by level. Which level is missed? Which level has no shortcomings? If found out afterwards, we will be severely punished!"
"yes!"
"Secondly, military discipline is like a mountain. It is strictly necessary to investigate those who serve under your command and cover up the culpability of others..." Yang Xuan looked at the two of them, "My military discipline should not be a tool for personal favors. Whoever feels that he can
Try it, tell them, come and try my knife to see if it is still sharp!"
"yes!"
The backs of Jiang Cunzhong and the two of them were wet with sweat.
"Civil officials like to form cliques, and military generals like to form factions. As the saying goes, be proportionate!"
Yang Xuan said: "There must be parties within the party, and there must be factions within the factions. I have never overestimated the people's hearts, and I have never underestimated the consciousness of the civil and military forces in Northern Xinjiang. So, I just watched."
He nodded, turned around and went to the backyard with his son in his arms.
He Lianyan stood on the side and said with a smile: "You two, get up!"
Jiang Cunzhong glanced at He Lianyan and knew that the Duke said that he was just looking, and those eyes were those of the Jin Yiwei.
Ahead, Yang Xuan walked slowly with his son in his arms, "Does A Liang like Chang'an?"
