Yang Xuanzhang returned to the Yang Mansion with a heavy heart. Instead of looking for his eldest brother Xuangan, he went directly back to his yard.~~!-
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Xuanjian's wife, Mrs. Zhou, saw that her husband had a bad look on his face and couldn't help but asked worriedly.
"Leave me alone!"
Yang Xuanjiang walked into the study and slammed the door. He sat down in front of the desk, feeling extremely depressed. He was not worried about not being able to convince Yang Yuanqing, but because Yang Yuanqing's words stabbed him deeply. All the problems in the Yang family were at the root of the problem.
Of course, other aristocratic families also value direct descendants over concubines, but they will not suppress talents. If an outstanding descendant of a common family appears, they will train them carefully, just like his father trained Yang Yuanqing.
On major issues related to the rise and fall of a family, there is no distinction between direct descendants and concubines.
However, the Yang family's legitimate sons regard valuing direct descendants over concubines as a shield to protect their own interests. No matter the priority, no matter how big or small, they always use valuing direct descendants over concubines as a shield. Yang Wei served as a general at the border and became an eagle at a young age.
General Ji, such a promising young man, but the Yang family didn't even give him a small house. Is this really the law of a concubine? I'm afraid it's selfishness!
Yang Xuanjiang sighed, if this continues for a long time, the Yang family's defeat is inevitable, and with the emperor's suppression, it won't take three generations, it will be over in their generation.
At this time, footsteps came from the yard, followed by the elder brother's voice, "Has the Xuan Prize come back?"
"He is in the study, he seems to be in a bad mood!" His wife Zhou sighed.
Yang Xuanjiang stood up and opened the door, "Brother, come in!"
Yang Xuangan has been anxiously waiting for news about his second brother. He waited for no one to come, but heard from his family that he went back to his yard directly, which made Yang Xuangan feel a little dissatisfied.
"Did he refuse?" Yang Xuangan saw that his brother's expression was wrong, and he vaguely guessed the result.
"Brother, sit down and talk!"
The two brothers sat down. Yang Xuangan stared at his brother and asked in a deep voice: "What exactly is going on?"
Yang Xuanzhang took out the red envelope, pushed it back to his eldest brother, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, give this back to you."
"Is he dissatisfied with the lack of money?" Yang Xuangan asked coldly.
Yang Xuanzhang shook his head, "He didn't look at it at all. In fact, it's not a matter of money, but that our family can no longer accommodate him."
"What do you mean?"
"Brother, he is now General Zuo Xiaowei, Duke of Wuyuan County. On the way back, I also got news that he has been named Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, ranking above you. You said you want him to come back.
, what position can the Yang family give him? Is it possible for him to be the heir to the head of the family? "
When Yang Xuangan heard that Yuan Qing was actually awarded the title of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, ranking above him, a surge of anger suddenly arose in his heart. How could there be any reason for a son to have a higher official position than his father? Where should he put his face?
Yang Xuangan immediately said angrily: "What position does he want? I only need him to recognize his own Yang family children and come back on time to participate in family sacrifices. That is enough. Does he still want to become the head of the family? This is absolutely impossible!"
Yang Xuanzhang sighed and said: "Brother, let me tell you something! You know it's impossible."
"What's up?"
"In a few days, he will be twenty years old. In his weak years, he will worship his ancestors and pick up characters. This is also the reason why eldest brother wants him to come back, right?"
"Is that so? Does he want to choose the word himself?" Yang Xuangan asked angrily.
Yang Xuanzhang shook his head, "Just this morning, he came back to face the emperor, and the emperor had already given him the title 'Hu Qing'. Brother, you didn't expect that!"
With a 'Bang!' punch, Yang Xuangan hit the table hard, his eyes showing deep hatred, and a sentence burst out from between his teeth, "What exactly does he want!"
"He just wants to confiscate our Hongnong Yang family, exterminate our family, and exile them all to the frontier!" A hateful voice came from the door.
When the two brothers turned around, they saw the third son, Yang Xuanzang, walking in. Yang Xuanzang was the general of Yingyang Mansion in the capital. Among all Yang Su's sons, he was the smartest. Yang Su always praised him for being sensible and understanding the overall situation.
Yang Xuanzang closed the door, walked forward and sat down and said: "I have seen it a long time ago. His suppression of our Yang family is not as simple as being afraid of his father. My father has been dead for two years, and his relationships are as thin as paper. My father has already treated Yang in the court.
The family is cold, and except for the eldest brother, none of the other Yang family members have served as high-ranking officials. Why is he still so afraid and suppressing the Yang family? Don’t you think it’s a bit unreasonable?”
"Then what's the problem?"
Yang Xuangan also felt that what his brother said made sense. Yang Guang's harshness and suppression of the Yang family had always made him dissatisfied. He thought it was because Yang Guang was afraid of his father's influence. Yang Xuanzang's words made Xuangan suddenly realize that
Yang Guang indeed has ulterior motives.
Yang Xuanzang glanced at his two brothers and lowered his voice: "I think it was Yang Guang who wanted to confirm the genealogy and clarify the Yang royal family as the Hongnong Yang family, and we, the real Yang family, became his biggest obstacle, so
He then wanted to get rid of us, and his methods were very covert. First, he publicly suppressed the Yang family, so that his father's old officials would not dare to approach us. When the time was right, he would concoct a charge against his eldest brother, which was conspiracy or disobedience.
, just like the Zhang family, let our family be completely wiped out, and then the Hongnong Yang family will become a puppet in his hands, and he can tamper with the family tree however he wants."
Yang Xuangan was silent. Yang Xuanzang's words touched his heart. He had had this idea for a long time, but it was not clear. Now with his brother's analysis, Yang Guang's sinister intentions gradually surfaced.
The Royal Yang family wants to confirm their ancestry as the Hongnong Yang family, and their branch is indeed the biggest obstacle. Now the Royal Yang family is in a very embarrassing situation. The late emperor once announced that the Royal Yang family originated from Hongnong, but because of his father
The existence of this branch makes the imperial family Yang's return to the clan in name only. The late emperor Yang Jian was a little better, but the current emperor Yang Guang is dedicated to promoting Hanization, and the royal family's identity as a miscellaneous has become a laughing stock. Therefore, confirming the royal family's status as a Han family has become a
The top priority, it seems, is their presence that hinders Yang Guang's plan.
"In your opinion, how should we respond?" Yang Xuangan asked worriedly.
Yang Xuanzang stared at his brother and said slowly: "Brother, actually we have no choice but to wait to be destroyed by him, or we can only..."
Before Yang Xuanzang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Xuanxian, "If this is the case, we can resign and return to our hometown to become rich men. In this way, maybe he will let us go."
"Second brother, don't be stupid. Even if he returns to his hometown and becomes a rich man, he will still destroy us, even easier. Only silence is the best solution. He is an emperor and will never have any mercy.
.”
“But it’s unrealistic to start an incident!”
Yang Xuangan paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed. He understood what his third brother meant. If it was really because of the clan, then their only way to protect themselves was to rebel. But is this... possible? The Yang family has nothing.
, what to use to fight against the imperial power, it is undoubtedly to use an egg to hit a stone.
"Brother, we don't want to take action now, but we want to wait for the opportunity!"
"Opportunity?" Yang Xuanjiang sneered, "Where is the opportunity?"
"have!"
Yang Xuanzang said with certainty: "This time Yang Guang overthrew Yuan Shou and destroyed the Zhang family. Everyone in the Guanlong noble family is in danger. I dare say that many of them have disobedient intentions. If Yang Guang continues
If we suppress them, someone will inevitably be forced to rebel. If the Guanlong nobles respond to their call, our opportunity will come."
Yang Xuangan thought for a long time and then said to the two brothers: "Only the three of us brothers know what we said today. We must not tell the fourth person, not even the wife next to me. Do you remember?"
Xuan Jiao and Xuan Zong both nodded, and Xuan Jiao asked again: "What about Yuan Qing?"
Yang Xuan sighed and said: "As you said, Yang Guang has even picked up his 'character'. If I have anything else to say, let him go!"
Yang Xuangan returned to his yard with a heavy heart. His wife Zheng secretly hid behind the door and looked at her husband's face. When she saw her husband holding a red envelope, she couldn't help but smile with joy. Yang Yuanqing did not accept the Yang family's congratulations, which meant that he
Zheng was secretly relieved that he would not return to the Yang family. He knew very well that once Yang Yuanqing returned to the Yang family, it would seriously threaten her son's status. It would be best if he refused to come back.
Mrs. Zheng walked to the yard and asked her husband hypocritically: "Isn't that child Yuan Qing willing to come back?"
For some reason, Yang Xuangan was extremely disgusted with the Zheng family at this time. He was frozen three feet, not even a day of cold. Ninety percent of the conflicts between Yang Yuanqing and the Yang family were caused by his wife. For the benefit of her son, she did not hesitate to put her other wife to death.
One son drove away.
Yang Xuangan glanced at her coldly, "Yuan Qing refuses to come back, doesn't it just follow your wishes?"
Mrs. Zheng's eyebrows stood up, her eyes widened and she said, "What do you mean? What does it have to do with me if he doesn't come back? It seems to be my responsibility. Please speak clearly!"
Yang Xuangan ignored her and went directly into her study. Zheng was furious. Her husband dared to ignore her. It was so outrageous. She stepped forward and knocked on the door with her fist, "Open the door for me and speak clearly!"
After a while, Yang Xuangan's cold voice came from the study, "Get out!"
Ms. Zheng was stunned. They had been married for more than 20 years, and her husband had never told her to go away. Today he actually told her to go away. She took two steps back and suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go back to my parents' house. You
Don’t come and beg me!”
She turned around and packed her things angrily.
In the study, Yang Xuangan seemed unaware. He took out an iron box from a secret cabinet on the wall, placed it on the table, and opened it slowly and with great piety. Inside the box was a letter, which was left by his father.
As his last words, he took out the letter and opened it slowly. The familiar handwriting of his father Yang Su appeared on the letter.
"I have been determined to destroy the Yang family for a long time now. If I go first, the Yang family should hide its power and bide its time, not giving it the power, and waiting for the changes of the weather. If the world is in trouble, you can scatter all your family wealth and recruit soldiers from Shandong to plan for great things. Sui
The root lies in Guanlong. The people of Shandong are not attached to their hearts. They can respond to hundreds of calls. If you use the Qi army to map the Central Plains internally, Yuanqing raises troops to respond externally, and agrees internally and externally, you should seize the Sui family and conquer the world. Guanlong and Yang will be destroyed, and Hongnong Yang will be promoted.
, I can rest in peace even under the Nine Springs. You must remember that when the world is in chaos, the Guanlong clan will be the first to attack. You must not take the lead. Remember! Remember!"
