Changping Lane, the underworld. At that time, the prince's family was already the Minister of Duzhi, so the house here seemed small.
After Yin Youqi escorted Queen Mother He back to Beijing, King Wuling once offered a house as a reward for her service, but Yin You Qi declined.
Later, when the emperor returned, King Langya gave the house and money in the name of the emperor because of the death of Concubine Yin. However, Yin's friend Qi Jian resigned, and everyone praised him for his noble character and integrity.
The reason why Yang Anxuan did not go to the underworld immediately was because he was worried that Yin Huizhen's existence would be known to outsiders.
Yin Youqi accompanied the emperor to Xunyang and sent his family back to Xinye. Now he is serving as Shangshu in the capital and has no one to accompany him. His wife He and his fourth son Yin Meng returned to the capital.
Yin Zang welcomed Yang Anxuan into the mansion. It was inconvenient to greet him in front of others, so he smiled and said, "My father is waiting in the hall." Yang Anxuan asked, "I heard that brother Zang will write history books in the Ministry of Personnel after entering Beijing. Do you still want to take advantage of it?" "Xi Gong takes good care of Yu," he said. After entering the hall, he saw his Yin friends sitting upright with smiles. Yang Anxuan stepped forward quickly, bowed to the ground and said, "My son-in-law has met my father-in-law." There was no one in the room. Others, including Yin's friends, were not polite. They raised their hands and said, "My dear son-in-law, please excuse me and sit down aside." Yin Zun stood guard in front of the door and did not allow others to enter. In the room, his son-in-law spoke.
When Yin Huizhen gave birth to Yang Yi, Yin Youqi and his wife were far away in Jiankang City. Yin Youqi first asked about their daughter and grandson. Yang Anxuan said with shame, "I haven't seen Huizhen and Yi'er for half a year." , I feel deeply sorry for their mother and son." Yang Anxuan left Yinjiazhuang for Luoyang in April and fought with the Wei army in Xingyang. When he returned to Xiangyang in July, he stayed at Yinjiazhuang for five days, and then never went back.
Yin Youqi sighed softly: "Huizhen has a special status, and An Xuan also has difficulties. I don't blame you. As long as you treat their mother and son well in the future, Zhen'er's deep love for you will not be in vain." Yang Anxuan said: "Huizhen's matter My mother knows that she will send someone to send something to Huizhen and Yi'er after the new year." Yin friends were surprised and happy, and asked: "Your wife knows about Zhen'er." Yang Anxuan nodded and asked where his eldest brother and his concubine were. After Shi explained how he exposed this matter, the Yin friends let out a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay to expose this matter, but An Xuan, you must not let outsiders know, otherwise it will be extremely detrimental to you."
"My mother intends to take Huizhen and her son to live in Xiangyang." Yang Anxuan said. The Yin friends stroked their beards and pondered for a moment, then shook their heads and said: "This matter is not urgent. An Xuan, your foundation is not stable. If you reveal this matter, you will be despised by everyone in the world, and even Huizhen may not be able to show up with her true colors in the future." Yin's family is full of guilt for sending Yin Huizhen into the palace. As a father, of course he wants to see his daughter happy, but Yin Youqi knows that for the long-term plan of his daughter and grandson, it is not the time to return to Xiangyang to reunite with Yang Anxuan.
Yin Zong, who was guarding the door, heard his father's words and sighed secretly in his heart. The fifth sister had paid too much for the Yin family.
The room became quiet, and Yang Anxuan picked up the tea cup to hide his guilt. Even a time traveler couldn't do whatever he wanted.
Yin friends all opened their mouths to break the silence and said: "Today in the east hall, An Xuan convinced Yuan Zhan and proposed to improve the method of making Yang Jiali, so that the people of the world can benefit from it." Yang Anxuan said in a deep voice: "I have heard that because of the land of Sanwu It is a pity that Sun En was in chaos and ten houses were empty. Even the rich starved to death with their rich clothes and riches. If Yang Jiali's promotion can save a few people from dying, it will be enough." Yin friends said together: "An Xuan It is said that Yang Jiali has been promoted in Qin and Wei, and I will meet with King Shu Wuling and request that the ban be lifted and the people be allowed to imitate." Yang Anxuan said: "This Yuan Shangshu deliberately targeted the court. I don't know why?" Yin You Qi slowly said: "Yuan Zhan, the Yuan family of Chen County, is from the same clan as your mother's family in the Western Han Dynasty. However, since the death of Yuan Shao's brother in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Chenliu Yuan family has gradually overtaken Runan. After Yongjia's southern crossing, The Yuan family was highly valued and married into Wang Xie and other wealthy families. Yuan Zhan married Xie Xuan's daughter." Yang Anxuan frowned slightly, remembering that Xie Hun avoided seeing him when he went to the Xie family. It seems that the wealthy families in the capital did not like him, and the promotion of the Yang family was not easy.
"I would also like to ask my father-in-law to give my son-in-law some guidance on the people in the capital. Who should be friends with, who should pay attention to, and who can be helped?" Yang Anxuan said with cupped hands.
Yin Youqi smiled and said: "The Art of War says that if you know this and know the enemy, you will not be in danger in a hundred battles. Fighting in the court is no easier than fighting for supremacy on the battlefield. Listen to me slowly explain to you." Yang Anxuan sat up straight, leaned forward, and said he was listening. shape.
At the door of the house, Yin Zhan also leaned back and listened to his father's instructions.
"Above the court, King Langya and King Wuling are the most respected. King Langya mostly takes care of the emperor in the palace and does not interfere much in the affairs of the court." Yin Youqi paused for a moment and continued: "King Wuling is quite talented and manages the affairs of the court. It’s called Qingming.”
"Liu Yuzhang of Jingkou controlled the court through Wang Mi, Minister of Zuo Min, Yuan Zhan, Liu Muzhi, Xu Xianzhi, Zang Xi and others. King Wuling would send people to ask Jingkou for his opinion on important matters in the court. Most of the troops in Beijing were Liu Yuzhang. He was led by his cronies." Yang Anxuan was silent. Huanxuan's usurpation of the Jin Dynasty was only in name only. Liu Yu re-established the Jin Dynasty and actually became the person in charge of the court. Although he went to Jingkou, how could he really let the government escape his control.
Yin Youqi glanced at Yang Anxuan and said, "Wang Mi is a tactful man. Although he obeys Liu Yu's orders, he will not offend you. Yuan Zhan is still a gentleman, so there is no need to worry too much. Liu Muzhi and others, on the other hand, do not seem to have official positions. Although he is high, he really holds the right to speak in the court. Liu Yu obeys Liu Muzhi, and most of the major affairs in the court are secretly from his hands." Yang Anxuan nodded. In fact, there is no need for Yinyou Qi to point out. Yang Anxuan also attaches great importance to Liu Muzhi. History books Zhongke compared him to a figure like Xiao He, who was Liu Yu's number one adviser; as for Xu Xianzhi and others, they are all figures whose names have been recorded in history books, and they are all outstanding talents.
"In addition to Duke Yu Zhang, there is Nanping County Duke Liu Yi. He has good relations with Zhongshu Ling Xie Hun and other powerful noble families. There are also many people in the court who speak out for him." Yin You all took tea to moisten their throats.
Yang Anxuan asked: "Two days ago, I went to Xie Mansion to visit Xie Hun, but I was told that Xie Zhongshu ordered him to go to Tangyi for business. I don't know whether it was true or not." Yin friends laughed together and said, "An Xuan is a sensible person, why do you ask this? It is true to go to Tangyi, but it is also true to avoid seeing him. This Jiangzuo Yushu is probably still jealous of what happened in Hualin Garden back then.
"Although it is a joke, it has spread widely. Yin friend Qi Jiu in the capital certainly knows about it. But it can make the so-called
Xie Hun, who was "the most elegant Jiang Zuo", was jealous, and Yin Youyi was still very satisfied with Yang Anxuan, his son-in-law. Yang Anxuan smiled sarcastically and said: "Among the five ministers, except for my father-in-law, Xi Gongshu is biased towards Yu. Dong Shangshu has always had a relationship with Yu. As for Zuo Min Yuan Shangshu, judging from what happened today, I am afraid he is not kind to Yu." , Yin Zhongwen, the minister of the ancestral temple, doesn't know the details." Yin friends said together: "Xi Shangshu and I will speak for you in the court hall, but Xi Shangshu's nephew Xi Sengshi has a good relationship with Liu Yi, and the Xi family has not seen them. You have to be optimistic about you; Dong Shangshu is an upright man, and he will not favor you when dealing with matters or people; as for Yuan Zhan, he is Liu Yuzhang's confidant, and Yin Shangshu and Liu Nanping wrote poems to each other, and their friendship is not shallow."
"There are also important ministers in the court such as Kong Anguo, the minister's right servant, and Kong Jing, the minister. These uncles and nephews are in the same court, but they have different ideas. Kong Jing is the son of his brother Kong Anguo, who is a regular servant of Sanqi. Kong Anguo is more powerful than Kong Anguo. He is more than thirty years older, so the uncle Kong Anguo is younger than his nephew." Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "It's not surprising that the three-year-old grandpa has white hair. The Kong family in Shanyin is also a descendant of a saint." Yinyouqi laughed teasingly and said: "An Xuan married a daughter of the Kong family. Kong Yi, the Marquis of Tingting, is the same generation as Kong Yu, the father of Kong Anguo. Then Kong Jing will call you uncle when he sees you." The descendants of Confucius have a prosperous family. In addition to Qufu and Shanyin, there are also Xiabo, Changshan, Nanyang and other places, but Qufu is the main branch.
Since the Confucius family in Shanyin moved out in the Eastern Han Dynasty, many of them have served as high-ranking officials in the court, but they have surpassed those in Qufu.
Yang Anxuan felt from the few words of Kong Yi and Kong Xian that the relationship between the two families was not harmonious. Yang Anxuan smiled bitterly and said: "Father-in-law is joking." Yin Youqi joked and continued: "Kong Anguo was an upright and loyal man, and was trusted by King Wuling; while Kong Jing, the servant, had made friends with Liu Yuzhang when he was the Shanyin Order in Kuaiji. Well, after Liu Yuzhang drove Huan Xuan away, he made him the internal historian of Kuaiji, and later he was called to the capital as a servant, and he became the great official of Kuaiji."
"Danyang Yin Mengchang, together with Liu Yuzhang, raised the righteous flag to drive away Huan Xuan. He was of noble character, upright and loyal. In December last year, he was appointed as Shangshu Zuopushe by the emperor, and he and Kong Anguo were in charge of the government." Yang Anxuan, who read the book, was moved in his heart. He said this Liu Yu does not control the government with one hand, and the Sima family still has a certain say.
Yang Anxuan asked: "Sima Xiuzhi once served as the governor of Xiangcheng. This man is considered a useful talent among the royal family members. King Wuling appointed him as the rear general and internal history of Kuaiji, hoping to use him to support the royal family." Yin friend Qi Qing He sighed and said: "It's easier said than done. I heard that the imperial censor, Ruan Xin, impeached Sima Xiuzhi for playing with Yu Xiao's father and breaking the ban. I'm afraid he won't be able to serve as a general for long." The Sima family has now withered talents, except for King Langya and King Wuling. Apart from that, the only people who can use it are Sima Xiuzhi, Sima Rongqi, Sima Guofan, Sima Shufan and other brothers.
Last year, King Zhang Wu and Guiyang Prefect Sima Xiu rebelled against each other because his wife was Huan Zhen's sister. They were defeated and killed. The situation of the Sima family became more and more difficult.
Yang Anxuan thought of his father's friend Xu Miao, and asked: "What official position does Xu Miao, the minister of Zhongshu, live in now?" The netizens sighed: "Xu Shilang passed away in the second year of Long'an, and his younger brother Xu Guang is now a member of Wai Sanqi Chang. Shi, Zuo Lang, his eldest son Xu Huo is Secretary Lang and Shangshu Cangbu Lang. Hearing that Liu Yi, the governor of Yuzhou, wants to recruit him into the government, his second son Xu Hao is still the Sanqi Shilang." Yang Anxuan sighed, Xu Miao was born in a poor family. Although they were trusted by Emperor Xiaowu, they could not obtain high positions in the court, and their brothers and nephews could only grind their way up the ranks of the fourth and fifth ranks.
Otherwise, Xu Hao would have been the Minister of Sanqi more than ten years ago, and he still holds this position today. I remember the four words that the rigorous and upright old man gave me.
"Study diligently", he was lost when he led the army from Jingkou to rescue Luoyang. Yang Anxuan decided to go to Xu Mansion when he had time, meet Xu Hao, and see if he could be invited to Yongzhou.
Except for the father-in-law Yinyou Qi and Xi Hui, there was no one else to help him in the court. The Yang family's standard was too low back then, which resulted in marriages being out of character. The foundation was too shallow. This time, he must find a way to improve the Yang family's class.
Yang Anxuan turned the tea cup and thought, he has more than 100,000 troops, who in the world dares to ignore him. After two years, Qiaoshu was pacified, Nanyan was annexed, and the land of Hehuai was unified. By then, the ministers in the DPRK and China would join him one after another without having to win over him.
Yin Youqi said: "If An Xuan wants to compete with Duke Yuzhang and Duke Nanping in the court, he needs the help of King Langya and King Wuling. Although the royal family has declined, the righteousness is still there, and there are still ministers loyal to the royal family in the court. , there are still people in the noble families who are grateful for Sima's kindness." Yang Anxuan cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you father-in-law for your advice. I will try my best to improve the Yang family's rank." All the Yin friends nodded and said: "Yes, wait until the Yang family's family members are promoted to the top rank. Brothers and nephews in the clan can seek help through marriage." After dinner in the underworld, Yang Anxuan returned home and found that there were visitors at home, and Zeng Anzheng was chatting happily with the guests.
Seeing Yang Anxuan return, the two visitors stood up. The leader smiled and said: "Hongnong Gong, we haven't seen each other for several years, but you still recognize Tao." Yang Anxuan said happily: "Brother Tao, Brother Gan, why are you here? ." The visitors were Tao Ping and Gan Yue, Yang Anxuan's classmates at Guozixue. Yang Anxuan fought for them against Diao Yun in gambling. He later went to Jingkou to patrol the river camp, and Tao Ping had not paid back the gambling money he owed him. . Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "Brother Tao is here, but he wants to pay back the gambling money he owed to Yu?" Tao Ping smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Hongnong was joking." Yang Anxuan asked the two of them to sit down and said with a smile: "Brother Tao and Brother Gan, we are poor and humble friends, just call me Yu Anxuan." "Tao Ping and Gan Yue looked at each other with joy on their faces. They were a little uneasy when they arrived, fearing that Yang Anxuan would not miss their old relationship, but they were relieved when they saw that Yang Anxuan was very enthusiastic.
After chatting for a while, Gan Yue said: "We, my classmates from the Imperial College, are delighted to hear that An Xuan has come to Beijing for pilgrimage. I would like to invite you to go on a tour of the Qinhuai River. I wonder if you are willing to show your respect?" Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "The wind and moon in Qinhuai often fall into my dreams. Brother Gan invites you." How can we not go?" Tao Ping said happily: "I don't know An Xuan, but Xing Niang, whom you helped, came to Yiqiu Tower and asked Yu to come forward and invite An Xuan to listen to the music." Xing Niang, the one with eyes as big as apricots The girl actually became the proprietor of Yiqiu Tower. Yang Anxuan was a little surprised. He came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm invited by an old friend, so come and go."
