Chapter 6 Chapter Six Linzhou Father and Son
The travel-worn Ke Zhen'e stepped into the festival hall and saw Yang Hao still crouching over his desk for review, with an extremely focused expression, so he stood aside and stood there waiting.
After a while, Yang Hao finished reading a document related to taxes and taxes submitted by Xiao Yan, wrote down his opinions on it, put it aside casually, looked up, and saw Ke Zhen'e.
Ke Zhen'e crossed his hands and said: "Taiwei, I have been ordered by a humble position to escort four generals Li An, Yang Xiaoyao, Yang Dabao, and Lu Yongyi back to Linzhou."
Yang Hao nodded and said, "Okay, how is General Yang's injury? I want to invite him to Luzhou to attend the Living Buddha Grand Meeting, and then to Xiazhou. Will General Yang be able to make the trip?"
Ke Zhen'e respectfully said: "I haven't seen General Yang, I heard... the arrow shot by General Yang was poisonous, the poison penetrated into the brain, the injury is serious, General Yang may not be able to make it, Linzhou Everyone is panicking and desolate right now."
Yang Hao was taken aback, and worried: "General Yang's injury is so serious?"
Ke Zhen'e said again: "Also, after the four generals were sent back to Linzhou, General Yang put them in prison directly. The young general of the Yang family said that there are a lot of Taiweis, but his father can't forgive such a situation. Subordinates, they must be severely punished, and give the Taiwei an explanation."
Yang Hao got up and took a few steps, then pondered: "Yang Chongxun is so serious...well, you have worked hard all the way, go down and rest first."
"yes!"
Ke Zhen'e bowed and retreated, Yang Hao looked around for a few times, and said to himself strangely: "The dog was still here just now, where did the effort go?" After thinking about it, he laughed dumbly and said: "She is still here. A half-grown child, how could he sit there bored and watch me review official documents..."
Yang Hao turned around with a smile, and bumped into the dog. Yang Hao jumped, and lost his voice: "You little girl, where did you hide just now? You walk like a cat without making any noise. .”
Ma Yi pursed his lips and smiled, pointed to the beam, and said, "I just took a nap on it, uncle finished his work?"
Yang Hao said: "Yes, Uncle has to deal with a lot of official business every day, it's boring for you to be with Uncle like this, isn't it?"
The dog shook his head and said: "No, Xiao Yi is very happy to be by Uncle's side. Anyway, I like to meditate when I have nothing to do. Uncle will talk to me when he is free. If he is not free, I will find a secluded place to sleep. Sleep, but don't look at me falling asleep, you can't hide any troubles from me, but seeing Uncle busy, Xiao Yi can't help anything, I really feel that I am useless."
Yang Hao pinched her pink face and said with a smile: "How can it be useless? When the uncle is bored, he also wants to talk to someone. But if you want to stay, you should go back to Huashan, in a few days I will send a car to pick up your mother, so you have to go and bid farewell to the master anyway. Otherwise, the old man Fuyaozi came to the door and said that I kidnapped his apprentice, I can't bear his fist."
Ma Yi giggled and nodded, basically, no matter what Yang Hao said, she just nodded, and she never expressed different opinions in front of him.
Ma Yi suffers from a strange disease, and he is usually fine, but he cannot be exposed to sunlight directly, so he has had little contact with others since he was a child, so he is not used to getting close to people, and he even taboos physical contact with people, but Yang Hao is an exception. Pinching her face, a little bit of intimacy, Gou'er felt very happy in her heart. The dependence on Yang Hao had already been deeply rooted in her heart. This feeling planted since childhood can't be easily erased.
Yang Hao said again: "When I get your mother here, I will arrange something for you. You are a very clever child. If you always stay so boring, you will be stupid. Um..., Yan Yan Now I'm in charge of 'Feiyu', I'll discuss it with her later, and set aside some people to take care of my safety. By the way, speaking of Yanyan... Yanyan and the others have recently been what the hell?"
Ma Yi blinked and said, "What are you talking about, uncle?"
Yang Haodao: "After Uncle set up the Mental Cultivation Hall, why did Yanyan go so diligently, there are also dolls, Miaomiao, not only..., even Dong'er has become a little weird, I asked her, She didn't say it. Even she kept it from me, which is really weird. "
Gou'er shook his head and said, "Uncle doesn't know, and Xiao Yi doesn't even know."
Yang Hao rolled his eyes and waved: "Come on, uncle will send you an errand right now."
Ma Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly came forward, Yang Hao whispered: "Dog, you sneak into the Yangxin Hall, and help the uncle to monitor them, and see what they say to Nvying when they go to the Yangxin Hall every day, You have to write it down word for word, and tell uncle to know later, okay?"
"Yeah!" Gou'er nodded emphatically, agreed excitedly, and left in a flash.
Yang Hao smiled, and said triumphantly: "These women don't know what the hell they are doing, but they still want to hide it from me, heh heh, I have a great internal spy like Gouer who only listens to my orders." Now, how long can you girls keep it from me?"
He chuckled triumphantly, then recalled the news that Ke Zhen'e had brought back, Yang Hao couldn't help but frowned slightly again: San Francisco sent troops, only Yang Chongxun suffered a disastrous defeat.If you are defeated, you will be defeated, and the army will be defeated like a mountain, fleeing in a panic all the way, even forgetting to inform the friendly army, which almost caused a big disaster.Now that our army has won a complete victory and the scenery is boundless, if I were Yang Chongxun, I would never come to the door at this time because I am ashamed and ashamed. What do I do?Is that flattery or apology?Hmm..., his injury may not be that serious, what is really serious is his heart disease.It seems that I have to go to Linzhou myself, and I have to resolve his knots...
Two days later, Zhe Yuxun arrived in Yinzhou, and Yang Hao greeted him personally. When he saw Zhe Yuxun, the two embraced joyfully. Zhe Yuxun let go of Yang Hao, glanced up and down, and laughed loudly: "Okay!" , okay, I was so happy to learn that you returned to Yinzhou safely, and rushed here without stopping, um...seeing that you have a lot of things all over your body, it really is a blessing, haha..." Yang Hao said with a smile: "Brother, during these days when my younger brother is away, the generals under my command are panic-stricken. It's all because of my elder brother who presides over the overall situation, so we can achieve such a great victory. My younger brother's fortune is great, all because of my elder brother's support." Zhe Yuxun quickly shook his head and said: "Where is it, this is due to your own luck, and it cannot be helped by others." The two chatted and laughed for a while, and entered the city together. Zhe Yuxun said again: "Old man, what are your plans now, are you going to attack Jingyou and Suizhou in one go, or rest and recuperate to maintain your roots? Eldest brother needs to know your Plan to prepare accordingly.” Yang Hao shook his head and said, "With all one's strength? How could the siege battle last for three days, five days, or ten and a half months? What's more, under repeated battles, our soldiers are not made of iron, so there is no one who is not tired. Then The reporter said that just recruiting so many surrendered soldiers, expanding such a large territory, and swallowing such a large piece of fat, one has to wait for it to be safely and safely turned into food in one's belly. Become a fat man, and still not be stuffed to death?" "Well, the third brother's big adventure is certainly a success, but the dangers involved are beyond description. I'm afraid that you will get carried away after the victory, thinking that you will be able to calm down the entire Western Region in an instant. How can you be so cautious? , I'm relieved." "Well, I plan to meet various Living Buddhas during the Luzhou Sutra Donation Conference, and then rush to Xiazhou. I want to invite the eldest brother Er Ke to go with me. The three of us stand together, so it's better than saying nothing." It’s useful. But the second brother has a heart attack because of the battle in Luotuoling, and he doesn’t know how serious his injury is. I plan to visit the second brother with my elder brother. If possible, I will invite the second brother to go with me. .If the condition is really serious, our own brother should also visit him." Zhe Yuxun smiled wryly and said, "Forget it, you don't have to go, I just came back after being rejected by him." Yang Hao was taken aback, and lost his voice: "Brother has already been there?" Zhe Yuxun said hesitantly: "Yes, I have been there. When I arrived at Yangjiacheng, the gates were closed tightly. Yang Zhongwen heard that old bastard didn't show up, and only asked his son to kowtow to me at the top of the city to apologize." It turned out that before Zhe Yuxun came to Yinzhou, he went to Linzhou City first, and when he arrived at the city, people sent a report. He thought that even if Yang Chongxun was really seriously ill, he should send his nephew to meet him. He didn't want to wait for a long time. Only then did a young player appear, in his early twenties, he was Yang Chongxun's only beloved son, Yang Guangyi. Yang Guangxuan bowed to Zhe Yuxun at the top of the city, and said loudly, "My nephew has seen Uncle Zhe." Zhe Yuxun wondered: "Boy, I didn't come to attack your Yang family city, so your father doesn't need to close the door, does he? Why doesn't that old guy come to see me? He's really sick?" Yang Guangxuan mourned: "Uncle, my father got an arrow in his left eye, and the arrow poison entered his body, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it won't last long." Zhe Yuxun previously thought that Yang Chongxun was looking for excuses because he was ashamed to see others, but Yang Chongxun could say that he was seriously ill, and his son never cursed his father for his short life. In this way, Yang Chongxun's injury is really serious It was very serious, and Zhe Yuxun couldn't help being shocked and said: "The injury is really so serious? You...you little bastard why are you crying? You are as useless as your father, quickly open the city gate and bring I'll go in and see him." Yang Guangxuan wept and said: "Uncle, my father said that San Francisco joined forces to resist the powerful enemy. My Yang family retreated alone, and I didn't know the friendly army. I almost ruined my uncle and uncle's wealth and life. My father was ashamed and ordered My nephew here kowtows to his uncle in apology on his behalf. In this life, my father will never have the face to see his uncle and uncle again." Zhe Yuxun was startled and angry when he heard this, and shouted: "What kind of nonsense is this? Could it be that he has shrunk in Yangjiacheng since then and never came out again?" Yang Guang said: "Uncle, my father said that after he passed away, he would let his nephew go to listen to his uncle and uncle's teachings. Now it is really shameless to see the old man again. Uncle Zhe, my father is seriously ill, and my nephew must take care of him." In front of you, please ask uncle to go back." Yang Guangzhang bowed three more times at the top of the city, then left crying, no matter how Zhe Yuxun called the door, he never turned back.Zhe Yuxun had no choice but to turn to Yinzhou disgruntled. Yang Hao couldn't help being silent after hearing this: "I originally wanted to go with my eldest brother, but now my eldest brother has been rejected, so I go... I'm afraid it's useless." He suddenly thought of someone, and said to Zhe Yuxun: "Brother, don't worry about it, I think of someone, he must be able to open the gate of Linzhou City." Zhe Yuxun wondered: "Who is it? You have more face than you and me?" Yang Hao smiled slightly, and said: "The little brother just wanted to tell the big brother about this, let's go, let's go back to the house first, and let's talk about it slowly after the banquet."
In Yang's Mansion of Linzhou, Yang Chongxun's wives and concubines gathered around him, weeping silently. Yang Chongxun waved his hands, and said weakly: "Go out, everyone go out. Er, come here, come to Wei's father." Yang Chongxun is different from his elder brother Yang Jiye. Yang Jiye had a bunch of sons but no daughters, but Yang Chongxun gave birth to many daughters and only one son.That's why he was loved as a treasure since he was a child. Zhe Yuxun's sons followed their father in many battles at a young age, and experienced many battles. However, although Yang Chongxun's only son Yang Guangyi also practiced literature and martial arts since he was a child, and devoted himself to teaching the art of war, But never let him go to the battlefield to hone. Yang Guangxun walked up to his father and sat down with tears in his eyes. Yang Chongxun's head was wrapped obliquely with a bandage, and the cheek and forehead on the side of the injured eye were blue and swollen. You can imagine how painful he was at the moment, but he tried his best to maintain Looking calm, he said in a low voice: "Son, a man does not shed tears lightly. Isn't your appearance a joke?" "Father..." Yang Guangjian called softly, tears streaming down his face. Yang Chongxun said: "Jian'er, help Dad...help Dad get up." Yang Guangxuan lifted him up as he said, and pulled the quilt over his back. Yang Chongxun sighed softly, and said, "Son, daddy closed the four doors tightly and refused to see you or uncle. Do you know why?" ?” Yang Guangtong said with tears in his eyes, "I don't know. My son just thinks that Uncle Zhe didn't mean to blame Daddy. Why did Daddy..." Yang Chongxun sighed: "Why are you so unreasonable, isn't it? Son, Dad did this for you." "For me?" Yang Guangyu wiped away his tears in surprise: "Father, I don't see Uncle Zhe, why is it for me?" Yang Chongxun sighed: "My son, speaking of it, this Linzhou was originally owned by the Zhe family. Back then, I and Zheyang's family didn't have any friendship. Otherwise, your grandfather wouldn't have occupied Linzhou. The Zhe family would not let it go. But all these years, the Zhe Yang family lived in peace and helped each other. Why? Because when your grandfather King Volcano was alive, our Yang family was so powerful that even the Zhe family would pay attention to it. Besides Zhe Yang, there were wolves around, and the Zhe family had to suffer from this dumbness. Otherwise, if the two tigers compete, the result will be that my Yang family cannot defend Linzhou, but his family will lose Fuzhou. After more than 20 years, Manshuo Daddy and your Uncle Zhe are now sworn brothers, even if we are not sworn brothers, for decades, we have resisted Li Guangrui in the west and Zhao Kuangyin in the east, like two mice in a bellows, relying on each other for life If he guards this family business carefully, it can be regarded as a lifelong friendship.But..., but we are not heroes of the green forest, after all, we are not heroes of the green forest..." Yang Guangyi was at a loss and didn't understand what he meant. Yang Chongxun couldn't help but sighed secretly when he saw it, and continued to explain: "Father means that the Zheyang and Yang families should have become enemies at the beginning but did not become enemies because the foreign enemy was strong and they had to join hands. Now We are as close as a family and not a family. If one day we have to make a choice, we must also think of our own country. This is the difference between a hero and a hero. over responsibility. But... Daddy is incompetent. Daddy is the weakest among the Northwest feudal clans. Now that Yang Hao has occupied Xia Prefecture and destroyed Li Guangrui, he is about to replace him and dominate the Western Regions.The Central Plains can tolerate Li Guangrui who is at odds with the Seventh Clan of Dangxiang, who is at odds with the two prefectures of Linfu, and who is against Tubo and Huihe. Yang Hao, who is quite kind, is absolutely intolerable to the Central Plains court. " He took a deep breath, pointed to the boiling water on the table, Yang Guang took it quickly, Yang Chongxun took a few sips, and said: "My son, when the Central Plains is free, we will attack the Western Regions. If you want to attack the Western Regions, Zelin The two prefectures are the first to bear the brunt. We are just allies. Today, my father fainted from an arrow, and the general under his command helped me to leave. How can I take care of you, Uncle Zhe and Uncle Yang? Similarly, when the army comes to the frontier in the future, if they have no time to take care of themselves, they will not take care of themselves. If you can see it, you are willing to go all out to help me in Linzhou, but you...you are young and have never experienced anything, so you can't afford this burden." Speaking of this, Yang Chongxun had a bitter expression on his face, and murmured: "Brother, the whole family was lost in the war against the Han. The Yang family... now you are the only seedling left, and now father does not dare to expect you to protect the ancestors!" Jiye, I only hope that you will be safe and sound, and continue the incense of my Yang family. But... If your father dies, you are young and have no military experience. Even if you want to protect yourself, I am afraid you will not be able to do it .” Yang Chongxun murmured: "Take refuge in the imperial court? Zhao Guangyi is not Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin died strangely, and Zhao Dezhao died strangely. It is hard to guarantee that it was not Zhao Guangyi who did it. He is so cruel to his family, how can he tolerate you? Even if these things It wasn't Zhao Guangyi who did it. For so many years, we have been too close to the Zhe family. The Zhe family's "following the wind" is pervasive. If you want to join the court, the sky is far away from the emperor. How can the court respond in time? The friendship in the past must be wiped out, you can't resist the attack of Fuzhou and Yinzhou." Yang Chongxun took a few breaths, and said again: "But continue to follow you, Uncle Zhe, Uncle Yang, and the others? You can't stand alone. Father thinks about it. If you want to keep you safe, the only way is to completely rely on one side. , Hand over... hand over this heavy responsibility." He smiled sadly, and said again: "If you must take refuge in one side, you must choose the stronger side, then there is no other choice except Yang Hao. Dad made him suffer a lot this time, Yinzhou Lost, his daughter is gone, even though he lost it in the end, but Yang Hao inevitably has a grudge, even if he doesn't mind, his family and his generals may not care too much." Yang Chongxun grabbed his son's hand, stared at him, and said solemnly: "Son, if father met your uncle Zhe before he died, who would know what the two of us have said? Father excused himself to be ashamed to see his old friend, and refused. I don't let you bring uncle into the city because I hope that Yang Hao will avoid suspicion. The reason why father doesn't see Yang Hao is because... because Linzhou is handed over from father or from you, it's a big deal identical." Hearing his father's words, Yang Guangxuan was clearly explaining the funeral, so he couldn't help crying. Yang Chongxun was very tired after talking for a long time. He leaned on the quilt, let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Li An, Yang Xiaoyao, Yang Dabao, Lu Yongyi, they are fathers. The most powerful general under his command is also the general with the most military power. If father is still alive, he can hold them down, but it's hard for you to say, so...you have to be locked up now. Before Linzhou is handed over to Yang Hao, you must not let them go, lest they have other opinions, but you cannot control them. Before Yang Hao sends troops to take over Linzhou, you must remember to let them go. Time made another idea, and they were veteran generals of my Yang family, and you are the young master who saved their lives from my sword. From now on... no matter what, they will always be grateful to you, understand what? " Yang Guangyi knelt down on the ground with a "boom", and cried loudly: "Father, I don't want to remember these things, I just want Daddy to live, Daddy..." Yang Chongxun's tears flowed down slowly, and he said sadly: "Silly boy, who can live without dying..." At this time, the gray-haired old butler Yang Ziyue hurried in, panting and said: "Second Young Master, Second Young Master, there is...someone in the city begging...seeking..." The old butler Yang Zi said that he was the stable boy who led the horse and fell into the stirrup for the volcano king Yang Gun. The second young master he was talking about was not Yang Guangyi, but Yang Chongxun.Yang Chongxun was brought up by him. Over the years, he has already gotten used to being called Second Young Master. Although he has become the head of the Yang family, he still does not change his old title. Yang Chongxun pulled up all his strength and said in a deep voice, "Didn't I give you an order already? This commander never dies for a day, and Linzhou is closed for a day." Yang Ziyue was sweating profusely, his face was flushed red, and he said in a stuttering manner: "Master, this old slave knows. But...but that person under the city...that person..." Yang Chongxun slowly opened his eyes and asked, "How about that man?" Yang Zi said with tears streaming down his face, he said in a trembling voice: "That man...that man is the young master, the young master... he is back..." After the old butler finished speaking, he fell to the ground and burst into tears, but the dying Yang Chongxun sat up abruptly, opened his swollen eyes with all his might, and shouted, "What did you say?"
Two days later, Zhe Yuxun arrived in Yinzhou, and Yang Hao greeted him personally. When he saw Zhe Yuxun, the two embraced joyfully. Zhe Yuxun let go of Yang Hao, glanced up and down, and laughed loudly: "Okay!" , okay, I was so happy to learn that you returned to Yinzhou safely, and rushed here without stopping, um...seeing that you have a lot of things all over your body, it really is a blessing, haha..."

Today, my father fainted from an arrow, and the general under his command helped me to leave. How can I take care of you, Uncle Zhe and Uncle Yang? Similarly, when the army comes to the frontier in the future, if they have no time to take care of themselves, they will not take care of themselves. If you can see it, you are willing to go all out to help me in Linzhou, but you...you are young and have never experienced anything, so you can't afford this burden." Speaking of this, Yang Chongxun had a bitter expression on his face, and murmured: "Brother, the whole family was lost in the war against the Han. The Yang family... now you are the only seedling left, and now father does not dare to expect you to protect the ancestors!" Jiye, I only hope that you will be safe and sound, and continue the incense of my Yang family. But... If your father dies, you are young and have no military experience. Even if you want to protect yourself, I am afraid you will not be able to do it .” Yang Chongxun murmured: "Take refuge in the imperial court? Zhao Guangyi is not Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin died strangely, and Zhao Dezhao died strangely. It is hard to guarantee that it was not Zhao Guangyi who did it. He is so cruel to his family, how can he tolerate you? Even if these things It wasn't Zhao Guangyi who did it. For so many years, we have been too close to the Zhe family. The Zhe family's "following the wind" is pervasive. If you want to join the court, the sky is far away from the emperor. How can the court respond in time? The friendship in the past must be wiped out, you can't resist the attack of Fuzhou and Yinzhou." Yang Chongxun took a few breaths, and said again: "But continue to follow you, Uncle Zhe, Uncle Yang, and the others? You can't stand alone. Father thinks about it. If you want to keep you safe, the only way is to completely rely on one side. , Hand over... hand over this heavy responsibility." He smiled sadly, and said again: "If you must take refuge in one side, you must choose the stronger side, then there is no other choice except Yang Hao. Dad made him suffer a lot this time, Yinzhou Lost, his daughter is gone, even though he lost it in the end, but Yang Hao inevitably has a grudge, even if he doesn't mind, his family and his generals may not care too much." Yang Chongxun grabbed his son's hand, stared at him, and said solemnly: "Son, if father met your uncle Zhe before he died, who would know what the two of us have said? Father excused himself to be ashamed to see his old friend, and refused. I don't let you bring uncle into the city because I hope that Yang Hao will avoid suspicion. The reason why father doesn't see Yang Hao is because... because Linzhou is handed over from father or from you, it's a big deal identical." Hearing his father's words, Yang Guangxuan was clearly explaining the funeral, so he couldn't help crying. Yang Chongxun was very tired after talking for a long time. He leaned on the quilt, let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Li An, Yang Xiaoyao, Yang Dabao, Lu Yongyi, they are fathers. The most powerful general under his command is also the general with the most military power. If father is still alive, he can hold them down, but it's hard for you to say, so...you have to be locked up now. Before Linzhou is handed over to Yang Hao, you must not let them go, lest they have other opinions, but you cannot control them. Before Yang Hao sends troops to take over Linzhou, you must remember to let them go. Time made another idea, and they were veteran generals of my Yang family, and you are the young master who saved their lives from my sword. From now on... no matter what, they will always be grateful to you, understand what? " Yang Guangyi knelt down on the ground with a "boom", and cried loudly: "Father, I don't want to remember these things, I just want Daddy to live, Daddy..." Yang Chongxun's tears flowed down slowly, and he said sadly: "Silly boy, who can live without dying..." At this time, the gray-haired old butler Yang Ziyue hurried in, panting and said: "Second Young Master, Second Young Master, there is...someone in the city begging...seeking..." The old butler Yang Zi said that he was the stable boy who led the horse and fell into the stirrup for the volcano king Yang Gun. The second young master he was talking about was not Yang Guangyi, but Yang Chongxun.Yang Chongxun was brought up by him. Over the years, he has already gotten used to being called Second Young Master. Although he has become the head of the Yang family, he still does not change his old title. Yang Chongxun pulled up all his strength and said in a deep voice, "Didn't I give you an order already? This commander never dies for a day, and Linzhou is closed for a day." Yang Ziyue was sweating profusely, his face was flushed red, and he said in a stuttering manner: "Master, this old slave knows. But...but that person under the city...that person..." Yang Chongxun slowly opened his eyes and asked, "How about that man?" Yang Zi said with tears streaming down his face, he said in a trembling voice: "That man...that man is the young master, the young master... he is back..." After the old butler finished speaking, he fell to the ground and burst into tears, but the dying Yang Chongxun sat up abruptly, opened his swollen eyes with all his might, and shouted, "What did you say?"
