On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the Guozi School opened. Dr. Che Yin of Guozi gave a lecture on "The Analects of Confucius", "Learn erudition and be determined, ask questions carefully and think deeply, and benevolence lies in it."

Yang Anxuan sat in the lecture hall, knowing that Master Che was taking the opportunity to enlighten him, telling him to study hard and achieve benevolence.

It's just that in troubled times, when the people are in danger, how can be benevolent and virtuous? Only by using fast horses and long branches to quell the smoke, and when the world is at peace and have the power of the world in hand, can benevolence be practiced.

There was a wry smile on Yang Anxuan's lips, trying to be a powerful minister. He probably had the same idea as Heng Sima on this point. If the road is different, I am afraid that I will disappoint the driver.

After Che Yin left, many classmates came to Yin Dun to exchange greetings, ask for advice, maintain friendship, and treat guests to dinner.

As expected, there are no secrets in the capital. It seems that the news that Yin's friend Qi was promoted and Yin Huizhen entered the East Palace has spread, and the Yin family has become a new rich.

Seeing Yin Dun smiling and chatting with everyone, and fearing that he might not be able to get away for a while, Yang Anxuan stopped waiting and went back to his residence.

It wasn't until Xu Chu Yin Dun was surrounded by people back to his residence. Yang Anxuan heard the noisy people next door and gradually left after a while.

Yang Anxuan's ears and eyes were sharp, and he heard snoring coming from Yindun House. He must have fallen asleep drunk.

Just as he was about to get up and go take a look, the snoring stopped, and Yin Dun appeared in front of the door a moment later.

Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "Brother Yin is pretending to be asleep to catch the guests. I made tea and drank some to relieve the hangover."

Yin Dun sat down at the banquet and said with a wry smile: "You finally understand what it feels like for everyone to toast you in the Yin Family Fort."

After Yang Anxuan of Yinjiabao wrote "Farewell", everyone toasted and made friends, and Yang Anxuan had to pretend to be drunk.

The two looked at each other, clasped their hands and laughed.

Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Yin Dun said in a cold voice: "Human relationships are cold and warm, and the world is hot and cold. When I first came to Guozi School, these people were the same ones who ridiculed the fools. Now that they know that my Yin family is about to rise, they come to welcome me regardless of their face. It’s really hilarious.”

"Brother Yin can talk and laugh with them. This skill of nourishing qi is truly inherited from Uncle Yin." Yang Anxuan said with a smile.

Yin Dun put down the teacup, looked at Yang Anxuan seriously and said: "Anxuan, since we met, you and I have been good friends and have talked about everything. Today, these people are asking for nothing more than my father's official position and Huizhen's identity. I know that An Xuan doesn't like to be vain and submissive with these people, so I didn't call you."

Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "Since we are close friends, there is no need to talk too much. Let's have tea instead of wine. Brother Yin invites you."

The two raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp, looking at each other and smiling, showing their affection for each other.

Yin Dun sighed: "We have known each other for more than two years. An Xuan has been very helpful to Yu and the Yin family."

Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "Brother Yin, there is no need to be polite between you and me. The Yin and Yang families help each other, so there is no need to distinguish between each other."

Yin Dun looked at Yang Anxuan with a sharp look and said: "Brother Yu has always had a wish to become brothers with different surnames with An Xuan. Yu knew that An Xuan was a talented person in Kunpeng, so he didn't dare to talk about it, so he borrowed wine to indulge in it today. I propose it, and I hope An Xuan will fulfill it."

Yang Anxuan stretched out his hand and said, "That's why I don't dare to invite you."

…………

The twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month is an auspicious day for everything.

The incense table was placed in the hall of the Yin family. Yang Anxuan and Yin Dun both changed into new clothes. They were young and high-spirited in green shirts.

Yin Youqi took a special leave and watched the ceremony at home. Yang Shangbao brought Yang Yu from Tangyi to watch the ceremony.

The two of them knelt before the incense table and swore to become brothers. The elder Yin Dun was the elder brother. They bowed to Yin Youqi and Yang Shangbao respectively.

In Yang Shangbao's view, Yin Youqi is about to be promoted to serve as the Minister of Huangmen and the crown prince's right guard. These two official positions are held by the emperor's close associates, not to mention that there is a daughter from the Yin family who will become the crown prince's concubine. The Yin family's rise is just around the corner. .

The Yin family was trusted by the emperor, so the parenting authority had a greater say in determining the grade of Yin Zhongzheng this year. Yang Shangbao quietly adjusted the upper limit of the fifth grade in his heart.

The Yin friends looked at Yang Anxuan who was saluting, and said happily: "Anxuan, you and Dun'er have become brothers, and they will be like my sons from now on. The family does not talk to each other, and often comes to sit at home, and my uncle also wants to talk to him.

You talk more. "

In the backyard, Yin Huizhen shouted "Brother Xuan" to "A New Song with a Glass of Wine" hanging on the wall.

…………

In the Jiankang Palace in the imperial city, the second layer of the palace wall is the important place for the imperial court. Shangshu Province, also known as Tai Pavilion, is located on the east side, with a door leading to the south.

The highest official of the Shangshu Province, Sima Daozi, is concurrently appointed by Sima Daozi, the king of Kuaiji. The real directors are Shangshu Zuopushe Wang Xun and Youpushe Xie Yan. There are five departments under the official department, the temple department, Duzhi, Zuomin and Wubing. The minister is in charge of all affairs in the world.

Dong Huai, the minister of the Ministry of War, came in a hurry to see Du Han, the minister of the Ministry of War, holding the official document.

Du Hanzheng was sipping tea unhurriedly. He had a banquet in his mansion last night and invited Lady Yingchun Tower to sing "Butterfly Lovers". It was a three-day trip.

Qiyun's melancholy singing voice seemed to be echoing in my ears, "The peach blossoms on the mountain are as red as fire, and a pair of butterflies are flying over again." Du Han was singing in his mind while shaking his head, very intoxicated.

Since the song "Butterfly Lovers" was spread in the palace, various prostitutes have found ways to ask for the script from Zhao Ya, the prefect of Wei County. If the prostitutes on the Qinhuai River can't sing "Butterfly Lovers", they will inevitably be looked down upon, even in Jingkou , Jiangling also began to sing "Butterfly Lovers".

The minister Dong Huaicheng came in like a storm. Du Han frowned, put down his tea cup, and scolded softly: "Servant Dong, why are you panicking? But Yan and Qin Xing's troops are going south?"

Dong Huai presented the official document in his hand and said: "Du Shangshu and the raiding general Yang Siping reported that Murong Chui, the Lord of Yan, summoned Murong Long, King of Gaoyang, to lead the capital to the capital (Zhongshan City). The morale of the Yan State was greatly boosted, and the Lord of Yan announced the Northern Expedition. .In February, the Lord of Yan ordered General Pinggui to recruit soldiers and horses from Jizhou. Pinggui led the three counties of Boling, Wuyi and Changle to rebel and guard Lukou."

Du Han reached out to take the official document, opened it and read it carefully, and said with a smile: "The chaos in the Yan country is a good thing for our court. The Yan Dynasty is fighting, and our court can just sit back and watch it hurt both sides."

…………

In Lukou City (now Raoyang County, Hebei Province), flags were flying, and soldiers in leather armor patrolled the city walls with guns.

In the second year of Wei Jing (238), Sima Yi conquered Gongsun Yuan, dug the Hutuo River northward into the Sushui River to transport grain, and built a city at the mouth of the canal. Because Hutuo had the name of Lutuo, it was called Lukou. Lukou is located at the heart of water transportation and is an important military town.

In August of the eleventh year of Taiyuan (386), Murong Chui, who had just proclaimed himself emperor, led his army southward and captured Qing, Yan, Xu and other prefectures and counties that had been recovered by the Eastern Jin Dynasty after the Feishui War. Lukou City was owned by the Yan State.

In the Prefect's Mansion, General Zhengdong, dressed in military uniform, sat in the middle.

On the left, his nephew Pingxi, the governor of Jizhou, is trying to persuade him, "...the leader of the country has great talents and great strategies. Although Shenhebei was defeated, there are still hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers in the country. Once the army comes to attack, how will my uncle respond?"

Ping Gui said nonchalantly: "My good nephew was overly concerned. Shen Hebei was defeated miserably, the whole country was shocked, and the vitality of the court was greatly damaged. The king was only thinking about the shame of Xu Shenhebei, and focused on fighting the substitute soldiers. How could he care about stupidity? There are three types of stupidity. The county has more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and your second uncle is responding in western Liaoning with 20,000 soldiers and horses, enough for a battle."

Pingxi sighed and said: "Uncle, the king has great faith in you and allows you to take charge of one side. How can you betray your promise and rebel? If your name is not correct, your words will not be true, and how can the people support you?"

Pinggui smiled and said: "Why do the mere ants care? None of them dare to speak in front of swords and guns. I think back then, the king also took advantage of Qin's defeat and rose up. Today's things are just like yesterday. The king is old. Maybe my uncle will do the same in the future." Become the master of a country.”

Pingxi shook his head, his uncle had become possessed and no longer tried to persuade him.

A soldier ran out of the hall, knelt down on one knee in front of the case, and said with cupped hands: "General, the Lord has sent Zhendong General Yu Song with 20,000 troops to come and wipe out. Please make a decision, general."

"Hahahahaha", Pinggui laughed wildly with pride and said: "Yu Song is just a wine bag and rice bag. He wants to come here to compete with a certain person and discipline him. He will never come back. When someone comes, sound the horn to gather the generals."

…………

On February 19th, during the official performance appraisal, the former prince's concubine Yinyou Qi Shiliang Qingju and Huaizhong fulfilled his responsibilities, was designated as a superior, and was promoted to the rank of Minister of Huangmen and the prince's right guard.

On February 23, Yang Anxuan received letters from Meng Jinguan, one of which was written by his second brother Yang Anyuan. In the letter, Yang Anyuan briefly talked about the situation in the military, and then thanked Yang Anxuan for taking care of his sister Yang Li.

Yang Anxuan put down the letter and smiled. The words in the letter became gentler. It seemed that the second brother had given up on competing with him for the head of the family, and instead wanted to support his own troops like his uncle and third uncle and become the help of the head of the family.

This is what Yang Anxuan likes to see. Instead of putting all the eggs in one basket, the Yang family will spread its branches. No matter which branch is strong, it will be the prosperity of the Yang family.

Open Zhao Tian's letter and read it carefully. In the letter, Zhao Tian described the results achieved by following Yang Anxuan's "climbing, crawling, fighting" military training method. The Pioneer Battalion has recruited seventy-eight people and so on.

Zhao Tian was the first to follow his own tribe, and such a person should not be treated lightly. Yin Ji, Kuai En and others all sent greetings to themselves in their letters.

The noodle shop in Tangyi was doing well, and my father sent a messenger to deliver the revised rules. The rules were well thought out and could be implemented.

You don’t have to worry about the stewards and helpers in the noodle shop, but the people who make fermented noodles and spicy oil must be trustworthy. Once Li'er trains more people, he can open a store in Jiankang.

Yang Huai and Mrs. Xu in his own house are trustworthy, but there must be someone to take care of the family. As for the Ding and Shi families, they are quite diligent, but their time together is still short. They need to take a closer look and cannot be entrusted with important tasks rashly.

Jiankang is the capital city, and the flow of people is much larger than that of Tangyi. Yang Anxuan plans to open four noodle restaurants in Jiankang, and tasks such as making noodles and making spicy oil will be left to his close associates.

Yang Anxuan took stock of the people he could trust. Zhao Tian's wife, Tian, ​​and Zhang Feng's mother, Sun, were trustworthy. When the time came to recruit them, they would also need an old person from the clan to take care of the accounts.

Of the six guards assigned to him by his father, three of them are relatively mature. Given a little more time, they may be entrusted with important tasks. There are also the family members of Chen Hua and others who may be considered if there is insufficient manpower.

Thinking of opening a noodle shop and having to find a store, decorate it, etc., Yang Anxuan felt overwhelmed. He couldn't do everything by himself, so he simply asked the clan stewards to take care of it, and he just took the time to supervise.

In early March, the Yuan family came to Jiankang with Qiu'er, accompanied by four stewards sent from the clan.

The four stewards are all named Yang, Yang Dong, Yang Feng, Yang Qian, and Yang Rong. In terms of seniority, they are Yang Anxuan's uncles and brothers.

Yang Anxuan arranged for them to live in the house first, and asked them to find a shop. After the shop opened, they could live in the shop.

Back in the study, Yang Qiu chirped and told Yang Anxuan how much money she had saved in two months. She was allocated more than 3,000 yuan, and the small money box could not fit in it. She asked her mother to go to the gold market to exchange for small gold ingots.

Mrs. Yuan told Yang Anxuan that on February 25, Mr. He gave birth to a son, and the clan had discussed preparing to send people to send congratulatory gifts. If it were not for the long distance and inconvenience, Ms. Yuan would have really wanted to go and hug her grandson.

The clan sent congratulatory gifts to show their acceptance of the He family. This child was counted as the eldest grandson of Yang Quanqi.

Thinking of her sister-in-law and Lin'er, He gave birth to a son and her position was stable. With her shrewdness, her sister-in-law and niece might not have a good time.

Yang Anxuan sighed secretly. He was beyond his reach. Even though he was as close as a brother, he couldn't help with household matters.

Frowning slightly, Yang Anxuan said: "As an uncle, Yu, I also want to express my gratitude. Let's go to the market tomorrow and buy him a jade pendant."

Yang Qiu rushed to the side and said: "Qiu'er is an aunt, and she also wants to give a gift to my nephew. Third brother, what do you think I should give you?"

He tilted his little head and muttered: "My nephew is still young. He can't lift dolls, eat sweets, and can't play jigsaw puzzles..."

Yang Anxuan smiled and said, "Just give your nephew a piece of Yansheng money."

"No, no," Yang Qiu'er shook his head like a rattle and said slyly: "Yisheng's money won't be given until the Chinese New Year. My nephew hasn't kowtowed to Qiu'er yet. Qiu'er thought of it and gave it to his nephew the rattle. "

Rattles, three coins each, Yang Anxuan and Yuan were both amused by the little money fans and laughed.
