Monument Yangmen

Chapter 523 Tiger Marquis Yang Yansi

This may be due to the conservative influence of Confucian culture at that time, but Yang Qi felt that it should be more of a kind of compassion.

Gunpowder was researched by Taoist priests during alchemy.

Well, it has been around since the Song Dynasty.

After nearly 1000 years of evolution, Yang Qi does not believe that no one has developed a more powerful explosive on the basis of gunpowder.

Even on the basis of gunpowder, research begins with more weapons.

Since the end of the Song Dynasty, many weapons have been developed with gunpowder. In the Ming Dynasty, there were even cannons.

At that time, there were already more advanced artillery abroad.

And in the Ming Dynasty, some people also saw and used it.

So why is it not cited and manufactured on a large scale?

Is it just because there are not enough copper mines, or there is no technology?
Why do you even think that you are a god and don't need to learn from others?
Yang Qi didn't think so.

The wisdom and tenacity of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor have been honed for thousands of years.

If you really want to understand the advanced artillery technology at that time, you must be able to find ways to do it.

So the fundamental reason why firearms are not widely used is compassion.

Compassion in your bones.

Let the descendants of Yan and Huang know what it means to be cruel and what it means to harm the peace of heaven.

It is precisely because of this situation that gunpowder and firearms were not used on a large scale in the feudal dynasty.

Of course, now it seems that this kind of mercy has harmed the descendants of Yan and Huang.

But in the long river of history, who can really say that the mercy of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor is wrong?
The emergence of gunpowder has accelerated globalization and also promoted the rapid development of science and technology.

So is it also secretly speeding up the pace of the earth's destruction?
Maybe at that time, looking back at history, we will find that the mercy of the descendants of Yan and Huang is the best way to continue the destiny of mankind?
Of course.

These are all a series of reveries that Yang Qi aroused under the inspiration of Lao Yang's words.

When Lao Yang snorted coldly, Yang Qi also recovered from his reverie.

"What are you thinking, kid? The old man called you twice, but you didn't agree. Do you think that if you take away the power of the Patriarch from the old man, you can ride on the old man's head?"

Lao Yang asked with a dark face.

Yang Qi said with a dry smile: "I dare not, you are my father."

"Humph!"

Lao Yang snorted coldly, stood up, and strode away.

As soon as Lao Yang left, Yang Qi fumbled for his chin, pursed his lips, and lost interest.

It was too easy to seize power from Lao Yang, so he couldn't believe it was true.

Yang Qi felt that Lao Yang must be feeling very uncomfortable now.

Now he should be able to understand the mood of Li Yuan in the Tang Dynasty when he was the Supreme Emperor.

However, considering Lao Yang's roughness, it is estimated that he does not have Li Yuan's ability to play the pipa.

Lao Yang can only flick cotton once.

Lao Yang was really panicked in his heart. As soon as he came out of the main hall and reached a corner of the backyard, he began to change his face.

Yang Hong followed behind Lao Yang, and comforted him in a low voice: "Master, are you feeling bad?"

Lao Yang snorted coldly, but didn't speak.

Yang Hong said with emotion: "Master, you have to open up a little bit. Qilang has the appearance of a hero. He is a hundred times stronger than us in the ability to make troubles and dare to make troubles. Now the power in his hands has surpassed you.

He has grown up now, and you can't use family law against him like a child.

But Qilang is only so old now, and his future achievements may surpass you by a lot.

Instead of sitting awkwardly in the position of Patriarch in the future, it's better to hand it over now and get quiet. "

Lao Yang immediately stared and scolded: "You mean, the fame and fortune of the old man's life is not as good as that kid's tossing around?"

Yang Hong looked up at the sky without saying a word.

Isn't it obvious?
People are stronger than you, tougher than you, and tougher than you.

"Hey~"

Old Yang Chang sighed and said, "Could it be that this old man is really old?"

In all fairness, Lao Yang, who is in his 50s, is indeed not considered old in modern times.

But in ancient times, he was indeed an old man.

Lao Yang sighed, and so did Yang Hong.

At Fuxing Pass, Yang Hong knew he was old when he saw the appearance of Yang Qi rushing outside the city.

In comparison, Shen Lun looked older.

Shen Lun's age was almost two rounds older than Lao Yang.

When Yang Qi saw Shen Lun, Shen Lun was sitting on the back of a cow with fluttering sleeves, bare feet, white hair, and fluttering beard, like a fairy walking out of a painting.

On the horns of the bull hang two volumes of books.

Behind the old ox, followed by a group of guards in gold armor. They held the king's order flag in their hands, held axes, copper hammers, long swords, etc., and stood bowed behind Shen Lun.

As soon as Yang Qi saw Shen Lun's outfit, he understood Shen Lun's intentions.

He pushed back the guards following him, stepped forward quickly, walked up to the bull Shen Lun was riding, bowed and said, "Disciple Yang Yansi, I have seen my teacher."

Shen Lun seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, but after hearing Yang Qi's shout, he was startled awake, and then squinted at Yang Qi.

"Yang Yansi, the old man asks you, do you still recognize the old man?"

Yang Qi bowed and said, "A teacher for one day, a father for life."

Shen Lun nodded, and said again: "Yang Yansi, are you still Song Chen?"

Yang Qi bowed and said, "Although I haven't received the salary from the imperial court for many months, I still have the right to know the state on behalf of the state bestowed by the imperial court."

Shen Lun nodded in satisfaction, stretched out his hand, and asked Yang Qi to help him get off the bull's back.

Serving Shen Lun was a young servant.

He helped Shen Lun put on his boots.

Yang Qi was obviously stunned, and Shen Lun said with emotion: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is a fixed number, no one can escape."

Yang Qi immediately understood the meaning of Shen Lun's words.

He sighed slightly.

Is Shen Lun's eunuch old servant dead already...

Shen Lun seemed to be very indifferent to life and death, he took the two volumes from the horn and handed them to Yang Qi.

"This is the last thing the teacher can give you."

Yang Qi tapped, shook his head and smiled wryly.

One is called "On Loyalty" and the other is called "Loyalty and Justice".

Yang Qi glanced at it, and found that the two books were very vulgar and not well-known.

It seems that Shen Lun picked it at random.

Shen Lun is reminding Yang Qi to be loyal.

Yang Qi also understood that Shen Lun was trying to persuade him as a mentor.

Yang Qi bowed and said: "The disciple will always remember the teacher's teaching."

"Very good."

After saying this sentence, Shen Lun suddenly bowed to Yang Qi and said, "I'm an official in the imperial court, Shen Lun, I've seen Tiger Marquis."

Yang Qi hurriedly stepped forward to help Shen Lun up, and said with a wry smile: "Master, what are you doing?"

Shen Lun gave the gift sternly, and said solemnly: "The ceremony cannot be discarded. The old man has already been dismissed from his title and the official position of participating in political affairs, and now he only has a idle position as an imperial servant.

In front of Huhou, he should salute himself.

Just now you and I were teachers and students, now you and I are the upper and lower officials. "

Yang Qi helped Shen Lun up, and said: "What kind of a prince is not a prince, and the student has no heart of disobedience, so he absolutely dare not confer himself a title. Where did you say that?"

Shen Lun cupped his hands in the direction of Bianjing, and said: "Your Majesty has issued an order to canonize you as Marquis of the Tiger. The imperial edict is in the hands of this old man, and this old man is here to read the imperial edict."

Yang Qi was stunned when he heard the words, shook his head and smiled and said, "I'm a civil servant, but the imperial court canonized me as Huhou. Isn't this a bit of a joke?"

Shen Lun said: "Everyone knows what you did in Fuxing Pass. It's only natural that you should be named a Tiger Marquis."

"That's it!"

Yang Qichang sighed, and said: "My disciple said that once a teacher is a teacher, he will be a father forever. Don't be polite to the disciple. Just call the disciple by his name."

Shen Lun nodded.

After Yang Qi received Shen Lun, he led Shen Lun's brigade and entered Daizhou City.

People in Daizhou City, who heard that people from the imperial court had come to canonize the Yang family, all stopped to watch.

When Shen Lun arrived at the Yang Mansion.

She Saihua has already brought someone to set up the incense table.

Lao Yang waited with his whole family.

After Yang Qi entered the list.

Shen Lun immediately read out the imperial edict to Lao Yang.

On the spot, Lao Yang refused the court's canonization of him as the contemporary Duke.

The scene was a little awkward for a while.

Shen Lun is also a person who has seen the world, and he has seen several hermits who refused to accept official positions.

Including himself, he has rejected Zhao Guangyi's imperial decree several times.

It's just that Lao Yang refused the canonization, which is not a good sign for Shen Lun.

Although the canonization of Lao Yang is higher than that of Yang Qi, the real highlight is still on Yang Qi.

Now Lao Yang has rejected the court's canonization.

If Yang Qi refused the canonization by the imperial court again, the scene would be really embarrassing.

The mission entrusted to Shen Lun by the emperor failed.

Shen Lun unfolded the imperial court's imperial decree to confer Yang Qi, and read it eloquently.

"...Yang Yansi was granted the title of Marquis of the Tiger, enjoying the honor of being the founding marquis...I was promoted to Yang Yansi, the prefect of Daizhou Quan Zhizhou, to be the military commander of the three prefectures of Daizhou, Fengzhou, and Shengzhou...this..."

Shen Lun held the imperial decree and looked at Yang Qi eagerly.

Lao Yang's gaze also fell firmly on Yang Qi.

Yang Qishang smiled and said: "Never mention anything about the Northern Jin Dynasty, but put Fengzhou and Shengzhou into the territory of the Song Dynasty... The imperial court is preparing to get rid of me in the future..."

"Don't lie..."

Shen Lun reminded Yang Qi in a low voice, but he was muttering in his heart.

Yang Qi saw through the trap in the imperial decree at a glance, so his hope of receiving the paper was slim.

Before leaving, Zhao Guangyi asked Shen Lun to try his best to get Yang Qi to accept the imperial decree.

Seeing Yang Qi staring at him with a half-smile, Shen Lun smiled dryly, and then said to Yang Qi in a low voice: "If you don't want to accept the order, I will have to die in your Yang residence. I didn't scare you..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Lao Yang was also coughing heavily, obviously reminding Yang Qi not to forget his promise.

Yang Qilang smiled and said: "I accept this imperial decree, and I also recognize this Huhou. If the imperial court wants to exterminate me in the future, then we have to see if he has a good set of teeth."

Yang Qi was willing to accept the decree, so Shen Lun hurriedly stuffed the decree into his hands, for fear that he would go back on his word.

As for Yang Qida's rebellious words, they were directly ignored by Shen Lun.

Since then, it has been confirmed that Yang Qi ruled Daizhou, Fengzhou, and Shengzhou in the northwest.

And the newly promoted official of the frontier, Yang Qi, Huhou of the Great Song Dynasty, only discovered it after receiving the order.

It seems that in the bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty, the title of Huhou is not very legal.

Yang Qi saw everything clearly, but didn't bother to worry about it.

As for Zhao Guangyi's calculations in the imperial decree.

Yang Qi is even more indifferent.

As long as Zhao Guangyi survives, the idea of ​​attacking the Zheyang family will not be extinguished.

Everything still depends on strength.

Big fists are the last word.

As long as Yang Qi works hard to make his fists hard and big.

Zhao Guangyi can only look at him.

And if the fist was not strong enough, even if Yang Qi was begging for mercy, Zhao Guangyi would strangle him to death without hesitation.

Yang Qi has already seen through the most essential things, so he is not afraid of any calculations.

Yang Qi took over the imperial decree, confirmed his identity as the Marquis of Hu, and also confirmed his right to rule over the three states of Daizhou, Fengzhou, and Shengzhou.

This is a gratifying thing.

Immediately, the Yang Mansion feasted on the guests and set up a flowing water table.

And the fact that Yang Qi became the Marquis of the Tiger was quickly spread by the good-natured people.
