Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 310: The position of Taiwei is touching

Zuoyue Academy is located outside the city to the west of Luoyang. It is said to be an academy, but it is actually a manor. It is surrounded by the outermost periphery. In the past, it was used as a defense fortification during military disasters, so the layout inside is quite exquisite. The house they were in was located in a private courtyard deep in the manor.

At this time, the courtyard was full of people, most of them were well-trained guards, but there were also scholars like Qi Zhi.

The old Mrs. Yang that Qi Zhi mentioned was Yang Ji, who ranked last among the three Yangs.

To say he is at the bottom, it depends on who he is compared with. Compared with the first two Yang, he is at the bottom, but compared to other family members, he is not the same.

Even now, Yang Ji is still known as General Anbei and Prince Taifu. With this status, even if he does nothing, he will cause uproar wherever he goes, not even Luoyang. exception.

However, it has been a while since he arrived in Luoyang at this time, and Luoyang has experienced many changes recently, especially the downfall and death of the King of the East China Sea, the reshuffle of many forces, and the impact of Yang Ji's arrival to some extent. The power is diluted.

Even so, when the old master came to Zuoyue Academy, everyone in the academy put all their energy, all eyes were focused, and they all had the same idea as Qizhi.

However, it is not easy to realize their wish.

Even Qi Zhi, who was Yang Mu's direct disciple, had to wait outside respectfully.

In the room in the courtyard, two people were sitting opposite each other.

One of them is quite old, with a straight waist. Although his beard is half white, his face can still be seen as sharp and angular. Combined with his energetic eyes, it gives people a sense of heroism and strength. This man is... It's Yang Ji.

Sitting opposite Yang Ji is a middle-aged man. He is relatively thin and has a respectful look. He is lowering his head and talking: "The current situation is like this. The King of Guanghan intends to serve as both Taiwei and Grand Sima. This There are many voices of opposition in the court. If I, the Yang family, use our connections to help my uncle smooth things over, it is not impossible to get the position of Taiwei."

"Taiwei..." Yang Ji closed his eyes slightly, bowed his head in thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "This seat is really very attractive, even if this old man hears about it, he can't help but be moved."

The Taiwei is in charge of five soldiers, and the Prime Minister is in charge of hundreds of subordinates.

Even people who don't know much about this official position have heard a lot about the authority of the prime minister. He is the head of hundreds of officials, and the Taiwei can often be ranked alongside him, which shows his ability.

Most of the three princes are named Taiwei. This officer can handle military matters. In the world of the dynasty, the master of military strategists can be said to be the Dinghai Shenzhen. Even if we don't talk about his abilities, just talk about the meaning of this position. One of the three princes, he is the pinnacle of human ministers. If you get it, it will go down in history and leave a name for future generations, which is enough to show how much this official attracts ordinary people.

Now, the King of Guanghan, who had won the position of Grand Master, concurrently held the post of Grand Sima, and was in charge of the Chancellor's Desk, was also eyeing this position.

Not to mention other things, just say that the position that the King of Guanghan currently holds concurrently can already be called the top match for a powerful official. Many powers of the Great Sima even exceed those of the Taiwei, and his authority in military affairs is even wider.

In fact, during the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, most of the two positions of Taiwei and Da Sima who were also in command of the army did not exist at the same time, but since the Three Kingdoms, the two positions have mostly existed side by side until now.

But even so, in the eyes of everyone, the Taiwei's reputation still surpassed that of Da Sima.

Yang Ji suddenly heard that it is possible to take up such an official position, and his breath became a lot faster, but finally he shook his head and said: "However, it will be harmful and not beneficial to obtain this position, and perhaps death is still the way!"

"How could it be?" Yang Mu raised his head, and then shook his head, "Now that the government is unclear, the King of Donghai is dead, and Hou Yin of Wuxiang, the other families have achieved considerable benefits, especially the Langya family. In addition to In addition to Wang Li, Director Wang has finally become an official, and there are rumors that he will either enter the minister's office or the imperial censor's office, or even be directly ranked as a minister. If our Yang family wants to grow in the north, it will be our biggest opponent. And the obstacles are the Wang family..."

"I know what you want to say," Yang Ji smiled slightly, stretched out his finger and pointed at the seat between the two of them, "You think that every family can gain something and fill one or two official vacancies, but my Yang family also has I won the position of Lieqing, but it has not yet been implemented, at most it will take a month before there will be a result."

Yang Mu was still a little unwilling, so he added: "But, after all, Tingwei is not a Taiwei!"

Yang Ji stopped smiling and said calmly: "But the powers of the Taiwei and the Grand Sima overlap a lot."

When Yang Mu heard this tone, his heart trembled.

Yang Ji said: "It's good to be a lieutenant, but don't be blinded by this position. If I get this position, my Yang family will be stable? It has always been a big family. Although it needs the support of official rank, the family Learning is also very important. In the past, my uncle was a great Confucian, and his reputation was passed down to the world, so that the family could prosper. Besides, I, the Yang family, had already made a plan to run the government step by step. After all, it was prosperous and then declined. , after the Xuanwu Dynasty, my brother retired one after another, just to avoid being jealous of the Emperor. At this time, it is a time of chaos, how can we take the initiative to step forward, besides..."

At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice: "The position of Taiwei is useless at this time. Because the military power is in the hands of Da Sima, the King of Guanghan will not divide it, but will be jealous of him. You should treat other people Family, why don’t you take this position? Are you really a person with no prestige in the family? No, it’s just pushing people along. How can I be fooled by them? If I really accept the offer, I will not get the power, but will become a thorn in the side of King Guanghan. What a thorn in the side. Unjustly accused? It is better to consolidate the foundation first. As long as the family does not move at all, the position of the three princes will come back sooner or later." Yang Mu nodded and did not speak for a long time, but finally asked: "Then uncle came to Luoyang this time, really just for leisure. About my son?”

"Naturally, this is the top priority." Yang Ji smiled again, and his eyes softened a lot, "Of course I must carefully select the husband-in-law of my granddaughter, and let the old man take care of it. After all, this child has a temper. If you are weak, you will be wronged if you are entrusted to someone other than someone else."

Yang Mu was a little helpless when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say anything, but he immediately said: "Uncle, my uncle has asked Brother Wei to visit several big families in the past few days. Is there anyone who caught his eye?"

Yang Ji shook his head and said, "I've never seen it."

Yang Mu couldn't help but mention: "How can uncle rest assured if he doesn't see it with his own eyes? These days, some children from the family have come to me. Many of them have extraordinary demeanor and their backgrounds have their own merits. If not, you choose How about a time to meet them in the academy?"

"You are lobbying for them." Yang Ji smiled, and when Yang Mu wanted to explain, he waved his hand to stop him, and then said: "Don't rush to defend, this is not a bad thing, just see him if you can." , I also want to meet this young generation of outstanding people, you can arrange the time."

Yang Mu nodded in agreement. For a family of their level, when choosing a uncle, they naturally value family background and local character, but they also value character and future, so they cannot afford to neglect it.

At the same time, this family marriage is also one of the important means to stabilize the status of the family, so the elders like them are inevitably interested in it, and the family candidates they choose are also well-educated.

In the past, the Yang family had married into political opponents, turning hostilities into friendship.

But from time to time, due to the ups and downs of the Xinhan Dynasty, the northern family is on the rise. Shandong is headed by the Wang family, while in Guanzhong, various clans are fighting, and the Yang family has a slight advantage. At this time, the conflict between them and the Wang family is not easy to resolve. , because this is not a political fight, but a fight for luck. Whoever can win will at least lay the foundation for the family's destiny for a century.

In this case, even if it is a marriage, they will not look for the Wang family, or a similar family, but will choose a smaller one, which is also convenient for the Yang family to leverage and control.

"Okay, let's stop talking about the business," Yang Ji changed the subject, "I came to the academy this time and saw that it is quite clean. I plan to stay for a few days. I hope you won't find it troublesome for me."

"Such a good thing is something we can only hope for!" Yang Mu said sincerely. He is the head of the mountain, and of course he also wants to run the academy. If Yang Ji can stay here, there will be many benefits. "Speaking of which, I have a few students. I have always admired your knowledge, but now you are outside, uncle, would you like to meet me and give me some advice?"

Yang Ji smiled and said: "You have said what you said, how can I refuse? Let them come in, I will also talk to them."

Yang Mu thanked him and ordered the servants around him to call a few disciples over.

As soon as this man went out, Qi Zhi and the two people outside the door knew about it and walked in first. The servant went to call the remaining students of Yang Mu over.

"I have met Mr. Wentong at the end of my life." Qi Zhi and his classmates first paid homage to Yang Ji and then met the teacher.

Yang Mu asked with some surprise: "Qi Zhi, why are you here? Aren't you feeling unwell these past few days and resting at home?"

"Reporting to the teacher, I was meditating at home, but I heard that Chen Zhi, the dream master, had just arrived recently and was staying in that town temporarily, so I couldn't help but go to visit him. After meeting him, I came over to report to the teacher. .”

Before Yang Mu said anything, Yang Jixian looked interested and asked, "Oh? But that dreaming young master Chen Zhi who killed the little prince and made the King of the Huns angry to death?"

"Exactly!" Qi Zhi hurriedly responded respectfully, without any hesitation.

"He came to the capital to be an official. He got the title of General Zhengbei and inherited the position of Taileling." Yang Jiyan laughed, "I am General Anbei and he is General Zhengbei. It is also fate. , your name is Qi Zhi, right? Tell me, how is this person?"

Qi Zhi quickly and fearfully recounted what he saw and heard, including the incident of Chen Zhi playing the piano in public. In order to impress Yang Ji, he also told Wang Bu's analysis. Of course, , here it all becomes his analysis and thoughts.

Sure enough, when Yang Ji heard this, he first pointed at Qi Zhi and said to Yang Mu: "You are not a simple student, you are thoughtful."

Yang Mu also looked at Qi Zhi with some surprise, but still nodded in thanks.

　Thanks to "Dianchian Lips Purple Blood", "brownspecter" and "163, 419, 18" for the reward!
