The next day, Chusi went to court to report that Yang Anxuan, the governor of Yong and Yan, came to the capital to pay a pilgrimage. King Langya asked Honglu Temple to receive him well, and on February 1st, he went to the emperor again.
There were still a few days until February 1st. Cusi smiled and explained: "In these days, Governor Yang will be staying in Honglu Temple Posthouse. Governor Yang has been away from the capital for a few years. You might as well go around and see if there are any changes in the scenery of the capital. "In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Anxuan took a car to the Langya Palace in Dongcheng to meet Sima Dewen and presented him with a set of colored porcelain tea sets as a gift.
Sima Dewen played with this light red peach blossom tea set and couldn't put it down. He smiled and said: "There is also a light green bamboo tea set in Gu Mansion, which is exactly the same as this set." Yang Anxuan came to visit, and Sima Dewen summoned Chu Xiuzhi to accompany him. , Chu Xiuzhi was his brother-in-law, and he and Yang Anxuan were both attendants of the East Palace.
Chu Xiuzhi looked at the tea set with some envy and said, "It is rumored that this colored porcelain was produced by Yanshi. I don't know where Governor Yang got it." Yang Anxuan cupped his hands and said, "Brother Chu, just call me by my stupid name. This tea set I bought it from the Xiangyang West Market. I heard that the prince has good tea, so I specially offered it to you." Sima Dewen put down the tea set and said, "I have heard of the name of Xiangyang West Market. Yang Qing held three treasure auctions in the West Market and sold the tea. There are countless treasures. He pioneered Goulan singing, and every county in the world followed suit. There are even seven or eight Goulan places in the capital." Chu Xiuzhi once went to Goulan to listen to a play and sighed: "My lord, Goulan can not only be listened to. There are also many entertainments such as story telling, history telling, spin dance, drum lyrics, puppet show and many other entertainments. Compared with listening to music in a brothel, it is three points better." Sima Dewen picked up the tail and said leisurely and fascinated: "I really want to go. Let's take a look." Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "Why don't you go incognito, my lord? Yu Yuan will accompany you to protect you." Sima Dewen's eyes lit up and he smiled enthusiastically: "Yang Qing is a famous brave general in the world. With you protecting me, it's really great. You can go." Chu Xiuzhi did not want Yang Anxuan to deepen his relationship with King Langya, so he advised: "No, the white dragon fish suit may change. The prince has the responsibility of the court and must not take risks." Sima Dewen shook his head. Du Wei changed the subject and said: "When Qing and others were serving as attendants in the East Palace, Gu also learned archery from Yang Qing. Unfortunately, he was reprimanded by Wang Shaofu for shooting horses. Gu Yi deeply regretted it and stopped archery from then on. ." Yang Anxuan thought of the past, and felt a little pity for the prince who had a rough life experience, and said with a smile: "The prince is extremely talented. If he had continued to practice archery, his archery skills would have surpassed those of his ministers." Sima Dewen smiled and said, Said: "King Gu believes in Buddhism. Yang Qing held a sutra preaching ceremony in Xiangyang. Eminent monks from all over the world gathered together. Yang Qing might as well tell Gu about the grand occasion." When he heard that Master Dao'an of Tanxi Temple had made six golden Buddha statues, Sima De Wen Dao: "Last June, the Lion Kingdom sent a jade Buddha over four feet high and enshrined it in the Wa Coffin Temple. Yang Qing might as well go and worship when he has time. I also intend to build a six-foot-tall golden body to pray for the people of the world. "Cui Xiuzhi said: "Your Majesty has a kind heart, and Buddha will definitely protect you." After a few words of gossip, Yang Anxuan brought up the matter of the Yang family's promotion.
Sima Dewen gently shook his tail and said: "The Hongnong Yang family has been a famous family for many generations. It is a pity that the family status has declined due to the delay in crossing the river. However, Yang Qing has served the country and made many meritorious deeds. It is natural for him to improve his family status. I will do my best to help you with this matter." Yang Anxuan stood up and bowed in thanks.
Chu Xiuzhi said with a smile: "An Xuan can't rush this matter. I heard that there are many noble families who applied for promotion of family status and family genealogy this time. The Liu family of Pengcheng sent people to discuss with Xu Qing, the governor, the chariot and cavalry general, and Yu Zhang Jungong combined the family genealogy; the governor of Yuzhou, the Hou General, the Duke of Nanping, the governor of Jiangzhou, and the Duke of Ancheng all sent people to the Genealogy Department to inquire about the matter of promotion. I want to be promoted to a noble clan. Yu is good friends with Jia Ling, the genealogy chief. We were drinking together a few days ago and happened to hear him complain that this year would be particularly busy."
"The King of Genealogy Division ordered Jia Bizhi, whose father was Jia Shilang Jia Bizhi who wrote the "Genealogy of Eighteen Prefectures". Jia Bizhi was also proficient in the business of genealogy. His son succeeded his father, Ye Guan, and was awarded the genealogy commander. Jia Yuan, the son of Jia Bizhi, had a family His academic origins, deep research on genealogy, and the inheritance of three generations are also interesting." Sima Dewen introduced Yang Anxuan with a smile: "If Yang Qing wants to improve his family status, he can't help but pay a visit to Jia's house. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me, I know." Sima Dewen lowered his eyes, looked at the colored porcelain on the case, and said slowly: "It is not difficult for Yang Qing to improve his family status and pass the selection of the Genealogy Department, and the Ancestral Department and the Zuo Min Department will also Reporting to the Situ Mansion, Wang Situ's attitude is very important. I wonder if Yang Qing has any friendship with Wang Situ?" Situ Wang Mi, Langya Wang family, and Chenliu Xie family are both top-notch families, and they are also known as kings and horses sharing the world.
Although the Wang family has lost its former power, since Emperor Jin Yuan established the Kang Dynasty, the Wang family has been the leader in the court.
Ancestor Wang Dao had a close personal relationship with Emperor Yuan of Jin Dynasty, and he even contributed to his support. Later, he helped Emperor Yuan pacify Wang Dun's rebellion, which is why the saying of king and horse sharing the world came to be known.
After Wang Dao, the royal family's descendants filled the court. His sons Wang Yue, Wang Tian, Wang Qia, Wang Xie, Wang Shao, and Wang Hui; his nephews Wang Xizhi, Wang Biaozhi, and others either stood in the court or guarded the place, with authority. To the opposition.
Wang Xun, the son of Wang Qia, was an important minister of Emperor Xiaowu Sima Yao. When Sima Daozi and his son came to power, Wang Dan relied on Sima Yuanxian, and was later demoted to Guangzhou by Huan Xuan.
Wang Dan was born to Wang Hun. Wang Hun, Wang Xun and Wang Mi were cousins of the same generation. Their grandfathers were both Dao Wang.
Wang Mi was born to Wang Shao, the brother of Wang Xun's father Wang Xia, but because Wang Shao's brother Wang Xie had no children, Wang Mi was adopted as Wang Xie's son.
When Huanxuan was in power, Wang Mi was the regular servant of Sanqi, the supervisor of Zhongshu, and the leader of Situ. Liu Yu drove Huanxuan away. In consideration of Wang Mi's kindness at that time, he was granted the title of Recorder, Situ, and Yangzhou Governor. His authority was still greater than that of Huan Chu. .
The current head of the Wang family is Wang Hong, the eldest son of Wang Xun. Wang Hong is famous for his quietness and comfort. Huan Xuan called him into an official position in the name of keeping filial piety. Later, when Sima Daozi was arrested by Huan Xuan, the officials were afraid of Huan Xuan and did not dare to meet him. Only Wang Hong came to see him off, climbed on the car and cried, and was praised by the world.
After Liu Yu drove away Huanxuan, he summoned Wang Hong to join the army and was granted the title of fifth-class marquis of Huarong County. After the emperor returned to the capital, King Langya recruited him as the Grand Sima to serve as Zhonglang and General Ningyuan.
Yang Anxuan recalled the conflict he had with the Wang family's children in Hualin Garden. Wang Mi was just Liu Yu's mouthpiece. I'm afraid the promotion of the family's family status would not be smooth sailing.
Sima Dewen saw Yang Anxuan was silent and said with a smile: "Wang Situ likes to make friends with talents the most, so he will be happy to see Yang Qing." Chu Xiuzhi laughed at the side and said: "No, I heard that Liu Xuzhou was tied up by Diao Kui. He was saved by Wang Situ. Wang Situ had a keen eye for talents and called Liu Xuzhou a hero, which is why he has a good talk today." Sima Dewen said: "The emperor has not yet returned to the court. Liu Yuzhou once asked Wang Situ in the court, "Xi Shou" Where is it? Wang Situ was frightened and uneasy, so he ran away in fear. General Chaoqiu heard about it and sent a letter to Brother Wuling, sending people to chase him. When Wang Situ was welcomed back, he appointed as before, and worked overtime with twenty swordsmen. General Liu was kind. To repay a favor is to be kind to Wang Situ." Yang Anxuan understood the meaning of King Langya's words. In fact, Yang Anxuan knew that Wang Mi was Liu Yu's spokesperson without him reminding him. Sima Dewen specifically asked him to pay attention to Wang Situ's attitude. In fact, he secretly Tell Yang Anxuan that Liu Yu may be hostile to him.
I sighed softly in my heart. Suffering makes people grow. After the Huanxuan Rebellion, the impetuous young prince learned to talk in roundabout ways and make insinuations.
Yang Anxuan smiled and said, "I have heard about Corporal Wang Situ Lixian a long time ago, and I am coming to Beijing this time to pay him a visit." Seeing that Yang Anxuan did not express his position, Chu Xiuzhi coughed lightly and said, "Huan Xuan usurped the throne, and Duke Yu Zhang raised the flag of righteousness from Jingkou. He has done a great job in welcoming back the emperor, and everyone from the emperor down is very grateful to Gong Yuzhang. The emperor intends to keep Liu Yuzhang in power in the court, but unfortunately Liu Gongjian refuses to resign. However, the emperor will still send envoys to consult Liu Gong for important matters in the court. Regarding the promotion of family status, the court should ask Duke Liu." Yang Anxuan said: "Yu has met Duke Yu Zhang several times, and I deeply admire Liu Gong's bravery. If I get the chance, I would like to go to Jingkou to pay him a visit. Liu Gong." Sima Dewen heard that Yang Anxuan did not want to compete with Liu Yu, and said softly: "After the Queen Mother returned to Beijing, she also mentioned Yang Qing's kindness in saving her several times, and asked the emperor to thank Yang Qing. Yang Qing will stay. After dinner, Guhaosheng proposes a toast to you.
"Yin Huizhen told Yang Anxuan that it was Queen Mother He who gave her the idea to pretend to be ill and escape from the palace. Yang Anxuan was full of gratitude to the elderly Queen Mother and said respectfully: "I am very sad to hear that the Queen Mother passed away. "Sima Dewen saw the sad look on Yang Anxuan's face, and his sadness came from his heart, and he sighed: "The descendants of the orphans are disdainful, and let the Queen Mother hide in the world at an old age. How can she have the face to see the late emperor underground in the future. "After ordering people to prepare a banquet, Sima Dewen also invited Yin Youqi, Wang Hong and other officials from the Sima Mansion to accompany him. The guests and hosts enjoyed the feast while drinking and drinking.
It was already Xu time when they returned to Honglu Temple Posthouse. Zhang Feng and Zeng An were talking in the hall, waiting for Yang Anxuan to return.
Yang Anxuan went to Langya Palace to meet Sima Dewen, and Zhang Feng took Zeng An to his home in Changqianli.
After Yang Anxuan left the capital, the house in Changqianli was handed over to Yang Huai. At that time, Zhang Feng followed Yang Huai to practice martial arts. It is said that Yang Huai was his first teacher.
The two noodle restaurants in Jiankang City have now become four, all managed by the Xu family. The Ding and Shi families who had taken refuge with Yang Anxuan were sent to work elsewhere by Yang Li'an. Ding Shi and Shi Cao were in Xinxicheng. , Ding Mian took his family to Xiangyang, while Shi Qing followed Yang Li to Luoyang.
Yang Huai was very happy to see Zhang Feng. Although he was in Jiankang, he was always paying attention to the news of the Yang family. When he learned that Zhang Feng was now a fifth-rank Zhenwu general, he said with emotion: "You kid is going to follow Sanlang Jun." If you have good luck, you should repay it with a good life." Zhang Feng said with a smile: "Uncle Huai, you are very accustomed to living in Jiankang. Why don't you tell the lord to go back to Xiangyang, and your two sons will follow the servants in the army in a few years? You can also be a village commander and a Sima." Yang Huai shook his head and said, "Both boys are working in the noodle shop, so you don't need to worry about it." He glanced at Zeng An and did not continue. Zhang Feng understood and smiled. "This Mr. Zeng is the counselor of the government office. He is the student of my lord-in-law. He is from his own family." Yang Huai bowed his hand as a new greeting, and then said: "The boss works in the noodle shop. He is actually a secret guard, working for the lord. Inquire about the news in the capital. But the second child was spoiled by the servants and idled around all day. Last year, he married Aunt Xu’s daughter, and Aunt Xu sent the couple to manage a newly opened noodle shop in Beicheng.”
"Aunt Xu is in good health. The gifts brought by the servants with red paper on them are for her. Uncle Huai, don't be greedy." Zhang Feng said with a smile.
Yang Huai smiled and scolded: "You little monkey, you have become a general, and you are still as out of shape as you were in the early years. Since you came here, you have to have dinner before leaving. Aunt Xu should be back in half an hour, but she keeps talking about it." You kid." Half an hour later, Aunt Xu and Yang Huai's eldest son Yang Fan came back, and there was another excitement when they saw Zhang Feng.
Zeng An felt very warm in his heart as he watched a few people laughing and playing around. After chatting and joking for a while, Zhang Feng and Yang Fan went into the room to chat, while Aunt Xu prepared dinner. Zeng An was asked by Yang Huai to read in Yang Anxuan's study.
Zeng An found several articles written by Che Yin's professor Yang Anxuan, and Zeng An read them with great interest. Yang Fan informed Zhang Feng of the situation in Beijing in detail. When Yang Anxuan came back, Zhang Feng told Yang Anxuan everything.
After carefully asking about King Wuling's habits, Yang Anxuan became more confident about visiting him tomorrow.
