Peach and Plum Spring Breeze and a Glass of Wine

Chapter 223 A Capable Minister in Governing the World (Asking for Monthly Votes)

"Can we take it seriously? Don't be so quick to hack someone to death!"

Shen Fa said with a headache: "You are not invincible yet!"

Yang Ge: "Then if I practice until I'm invincible, then I can hack him to death, right?"

Shen Fa: "You were not so reckless before..."

Yang Ge: "You were able to control me before, but can you still do it now?"

Shen Fa: "Just say what you want, don't settle old scores!"

Yang Ge: "Just say it or not!"

Shen Fa: "So when the two countries are at war, can the problem be solved by killing a lot of people?"

Yang Ge: "Isn't this simple? I will kill anyone who has a problem until no one has a problem. Then there will be no problem, right?"

Shen Fa scratched his head, feeling that what this guy said made sense, but he still felt that something was not right.

After a while, he finally said in a long and tired voice: "Let's consider this matter in the long run. Your position is very sensitive now, so it's better if you can move or not. At least with you at the road pavilion, the capital will be as stable as Mount Tai, and no monsters or monsters can get through... …”

Yang Ge: "This is indeed the truth, but why do you say it from your mouth and make me look like the watchdog of your court?"

Shen Fa glanced at him and said, "You bitch is just hypocritical!"

Yang Ge: "You keep scolding me!"

Shen Fa immediately changed the subject: "Your Japanese servant army has been distributed and transported to Liaodong more than a month ago. They will be broken up into four groups and distributed to the four towns of Liaodong, Jizhou, Xuanfu, and Datong. They are called auxiliary troops. , is actually a civilian man, used to repair the Great Wall and beacon towers in various places. According to your wishes, as long as it is not used to death, it will be used to death... I have already planned it, and there will be 10,000 servants secretly sent to Lu Mountain as soldiers. Go, their boat is small and easy to turn around, and it doesn’t hurt for outsiders to use it. I hope it can have some effect."

Yang Ge said with a sullen face: "I'm familiar with you. I'm going to sue you for slander because of your nonsense? What do you mean by my Japanese servant army? I don't even have half a copper relationship with Japan. Even if I do, I will only have hatred!"

Shen Fa said quickly: "Yes, yes, it was a slip of the tongue, okay?"

Yang Ge's expression softened a little: "This cannot be a one-time deal. We still have to find a way to create a mature mechanism to continuously bleed Japan and squeeze out all their youth!"

"Also, the generals of the four towns who command the servant army must also give their instructions. Firstly, they must not be merciful, and secondly, they must not let these Japanese bastards taint my Yanhuang bloodline. If they are able, they will be given to others. If they are not, all will be sent to Lei Heng's men in batches. I would rather consume them all than raise tigers to cause trouble!"

Shen Fa's eyes widened and he exclaimed in shock: "How much hatred do you have against Japan? You've already done this, and you're not ready to give up yet!"

Yang Ge's eyes widened even more than his own: "I'm telling you, if you mess with me about other things, I'll beat you up. If you dare to be vague with me about this matter, don't blame me for turning against me!" "

Shen Fa said speechlessly: "I just asked casually, why are you so anxious?"

Yang Ge: "Even you think so. Those border generals who command the army are not allowed to treat those servants as their ancestors?"

Shen Fa quickly replied: "Okay, okay, don't worry. I'll write to the generals of the four towns when I get back and tell them, and then I'll select capable people from the guards and go there. I'll look at them with the ledger and cross out every dead one." Head office, right?"

Yang Ge: "That's pretty much it... When all the servants arrive at the border, send a reliable person to Japan to replace Zhou Fu and transfer him to the border. He is a general and cannot be left to waste in Japan."

Shen Fa: "Do you think too highly of your brother? Can the deployment of soldiers and generals be something that my brother can just say?"

Yang Ge: "As long as you can do it, if not, I'll find someone who can!"

Shen Fa scratched his head hard and cursed in his mind: 'You are such a fucking living ancestor! The emperor is not as arrogant as you! ’

He couldn't do anything to this reckless man, so he could only reluctantly reply: "Okay, I'll try my best to take care of this matter. I'll give you an answer later if it's okay."

Yang Ge: "Don't look down on yourself so much. You are the commander of the embroidered uniform guard. Why don't you just reach out for such a trivial matter?"

These inexplicably familiar words made Shen Fa's balls ache.

He didn't want to talk about business with this guy anymore, so he asked instead: "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Yang Ge wanted to get rid of him, but looking at the half-dead look of this guy, he couldn't bear it and said, "Only bacon."

Shen Fa smiled brightly: "Just eat whatever you have, I won't be picky."

Yang Ge sighed and went to wash his hands: "Okay, I'll get it for you."

The two of them and the dog returned to the front yard.

Shen Fa went straight to the back room and dug out the teapot and brewed a large pot of hot tea for himself, just like at home. Then he took the teapot and happily went to lie down on the rocking chair under the grape trellis...

Yang Ge put on his apron and got into the kitchen to light a fire and cook... He said there was only bacon, but after walking around the kitchen twice, he ran to the backyard and killed a chicken to stew it.

As a result, the chicken soup in the casserole had just started to gush out steam, and the sound of snoring like thunder spread into the kitchen.

"Please drink this cup to the full, Eunuch Wei!"

In Fengyang Yang's house, inside the lotus pond pavilion, Yang Yinghao held up the wine glass with both hands and gestured to Wei Heng with a smile on his face.

Wei Heng also held up the wine glass with both hands with a smile on his face and signaled to Yang Yinghao: "I don't think Yang Youshi please... do it!"

"Dry!"

The two raised their heads and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Hahaha, Eunuch Wei is such a sweet-tempered man. I hate seeing each other so late, so late!"

Yang Yinghao put down the wine glass, laughed, picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for Wei Heng, then picked up the serving chopsticks and put a braised lion's head in Wei Heng's bowl: "This is Zhuo Jing's specialty dish, please give me a try, father-in-law."

"Yeah?"

Wei Heng picked up his chopsticks with a smile: "The Zajia family should taste it carefully... Mrs. Xian is so good at her craftsmanship!"

"Hahaha, it would be great if my father-in-law doesn't dislike it!"

Yang Tiansheng sat opposite Wei Heng, holding a bowl and taking big mouthfuls of food. He didn't know whether he was choking or couldn't stand the two old foxes in front of him, complimenting each other, making excuses, and rolling his eyes while eating.

Wei Heng put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief and looked at Yang Tiansheng with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Young Master Yang has become more and more heroic. The name of 'Master of the Fierce Sun Sword' is like thunder!"

Yang Tiansheng was forcibly summoned back from the front line of the battle with the Five Poison Sect by his own father. He was upset. Seeing that this dead eunuch dared to talk to him, he immediately said with a smile: "Where is it? Compared to my father-in-law back then." I'm still far from the majestic appearance when we beat our two brothers at Luting..."

The smile on Wei Heng's face froze on the spot: 'You brat, you don't want to pick up any of the pots, right? Can this be brought up? ’

Yang Tiansheng smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a thin line: 'Who told you to disturb the young master's cooking? ’

Although Yang Yinghao didn't know what was going on, he still saw the embarrassment on Wei Heng's face at a glance. He immediately glared at Yang Tiansheng, raised the wine glass and changed the subject: "Yang, give me another drink, father-in-law!"

Wei Heng felt like he was being pardoned and quickly raised his wine glass: "Don't dare to take it, don't take it... do it!"

After being defeated by Yang Tiansheng, Wei Heng immediately became honest and no longer dared to look for trouble with Yang Tiansheng. He concentrated on drinking and chatting with Yang Yinghao. After a while, the two became familiar with each other and called him brothers.

After three rounds of drinking, both Yang Yinghao and Wei Heng were already drunk, while Yang Tiansheng, who was concentrating on cooking, had eaten and drank enough to pick his teeth comfortably.

Wei Heng glanced at Yang Tiansheng out of the corner of his eye, put down his wine glass and patted his forehead lightly, pretending to be enlightened: "The cooking skills of my brothers and sisters are so good that the whole family almost forgot about the business... Brother Yang, regarding the recruitment matter, how could you please Has the professor come up with the charter?"

This time, the three departments of the inner court joined forces to fight against the outside world, and the division of labor was quite clear. Shen Fa, who was most familiar with the border situation, went north to investigate the situation in the northern grasslands. Wei Heng, backed by the Royal Horse Supervisor, went south to deal with Jianghu affairs, and the weakest Dongchang The new factory supervisor Liu Xian stayed in Beijing to watch the gate.

Yang Yinghao also put down his wine glass. After thinking for a while, he cupped his hands with a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Brother Wei. Although I have tried my best to mediate this matter in the church, there is still little progress. The church is unwilling to surrender to the court." There are really too many idle clouds and wild cranes. I still need some time to understand them rationally and move them emotionally..."

When Wei Heng heard the result, he didn't feel disappointed at all. He smiled and waved: "What's wrong with being disappointed? Good things come in hard times, but we two brothers can honestly say that since we want to join the imperial court, of course we have to choose someone. The best time to invest is when you can afford it. Isn't there an old saying that says, 'If you learn martial arts, your goods will lead to an emperor's family'?"

"Now the imperial court is in the midst of employing people. Your Majesty has always been lenient, and the virtuous father and son are not outsiders... Brother, do you understand that if you count for three hundred years, will there be a better opportunity than now?"

Yang Yinghao hesitated greatly: "This..."

What Wei Heng said is actually reasonable.

It is difficult to make bets in troubled times, and prices cannot be raised in prosperous times. In normal times, there are many different voices in the church, and no one can guarantee it. No one can guarantee that the court will not make old mistakes again after surrendering.

Now is indeed a good time!

"laugh."

A sneer interrupted Yang Yinghao's hesitation.

Both of them looked at Yang Tiansheng.

Yang Tiansheng held a toothpick in the corner of his mouth and smiled casually: "My father-in-law said that the current emperor is lenient, but how can I remember that someone said that the current emperor is vengeful, stingy, and petty?"

Wei Heng scratched his head and laughed: "Listen to this, Zajia... Why does he seem to be talking about himself?"

"Why?"

Yang Tiansheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Don't mention it, you really seem to be talking about himself!"

Yang Yinghao finally came to his senses and couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying in his heart: 'No wonder Erlang and the court were fighting back and forth, but they still kept cutting and reasoning...'

Now that Yang Tiansheng has spoken, he is no longer prepared to be a spectator and directly takes over the conversation: "We are all acquaintances, so don't go round and round and talk about something that everyone can listen to!"

Wei Heng stretched out his hand and said, "Young Master Yang, if you have any great opinions, please tell me. The Miscellaneous Family is all ears!"

Yang Tiansheng showed no signs of stage fright and spoke up: "To put it bluntly, the matter of recruitment is like fighting a wolf with a stick - you are afraid of both sides. You are afraid that our nature is hard to change and will relapse, and we are also afraid that you will put us in jail." Behind closed doors, you will be slaughtered like a dog!"

"This problem is difficult to solve. You can't prove to us that you won't settle the scores later, and we can't prove to you that after we submit to the imperial court, we can put our swords and guns in the treasury and release our horses to Nanshan."

"But I think both of us should show sincerity to solve this problem and try to take a step together!"

"Otherwise, even if we eat a hundred more meals, it won't have much effect..."

What he said was clear and convincing, and even Yang Yinghao looked at him with shock.

"well said!"

Wei Heng slapped the dining table, raised a thumbs up and said with a shaky smile: "This is the spirit a man should have! It is true that dragons do not live with snakes, and tigers do not travel with dogs. Young Master Yang's words are simply... It makes the Za family look on with admiration... I dare to ask Young Master Yang, how can we all take a step forward together?"

Yang Tiansheng waved his hand grandly: "The words that come out of my mouth reach your ears. If you feel something is wrong and leave the waterside pavilion, you can just pretend that I didn't say anything!"

Wei Heng stretched out his hand and said, "You don't have to worry at all, just tell me."

Yang Tiansheng: "I have just talked about the issues before you and my family, and you should also be aware of the issues within our Mingjiao sect. In this case, let us simply not talk about the entire Mingjiao's submission to the imperial court. Let’s talk about the part of the congregation that is willing to recruit and let them set an example for other brothers in the church who still have doubts. If your court can treat them well, I think there will naturally be more and more congregations who are willing to recruit. If your court can If I can’t even tolerate them, I want to come… there’s no need to talk anymore!”

"this……"

Wei Heng and Yang Yinghao looked at each other, and both saw the surprise and hesitation in the other's eyes.

To be fair, this is indeed a solution to the problem.

But the difficulty is no less than solving the problem of recruiting the entire Mingjiao. On the contrary, it may be even greater... After all, the key to recruiting the entire Mingjiao is whether the Mingjiao will agree to it. But when recruiting only some members of the Mingjiao, we not only have to ask whether the Mingjiao will agree. If you agree, you still have to ask the court if it will agree!

The imperial court also wants face!

"The Zajia family has no right to accept Mr. Yang's proposal. It must be reported to the court and handed over to the Gonggun princes in the court for discussion."

Wei Heng pondered for a long time, then raised his hands with a complicated expression and said, "But Mr. Yang's belief in solving problems, the Za family deeply admires him!"

This method does not require a lot of brains, but a lot of courage!

Yang Tiansheng nodded and said: "Nothing, it just so happens that we, father and son, also need time to deal with those old guys in the sect who are stubborn about the past!"

Yang Yinghao opened his mouth and closed it again.

After a while, Yang Yinghao personally escorted Wei Heng out. When he returned to the waterside pavilion, the leftovers on the table had been replaced by a pot of tea. Yang Tiansheng sat on this seat, smiled and picked up the teapot to pour him tea: "You tonight I drank a lot, so I’ll drink some tea to relieve my hangover.”

Yang Yinghao sat on the main seat, raised his head and drank the tea cup, then put down the tea cup and asked with hot breath: "What on earth do you think? I am not sure how to convince many elders in the sect, where are you from?" Are you sure?"

Yang Tiansheng once again picked up the teapot and poured tea for his old father: "To be honest, my son is actually not very sure..."

Yang Yinghao frowned: "How dare you say it if you're not sure?"

Yang Tiansheng put down the teapot and said seriously: "Dad, the road is made by people. There are people first and then there is the road."

Yang Yinghao understood what he heard, but instead of spreading his brows, he frowned even more tightly: "Don't you want to compete for the position of the next leader? What are you doing for this purpose? If you succeed, you will be considered You have fought for the position of leader, but it is only in name only. If you fail to achieve it, everyone in the church will regard you as a target... What are you trying to do?"

"Fighting for the position of leader..."

Yang Tiansheng smiled and shook his head slowly: "I just want to compete for a while. The leader is not the leader. To be honest... my son really doesn't take it to heart!"

"And what should I say about this... Yang Laoer always said that when people come to this world, they always want to make this world a better place because of themselves."

He pinched the tip of his little finger to signal to his old father, and said seriously: "It doesn't take much, even if it's just a little bit, it's not like I've come to this world in vain!"

"My son has traveled a lot in the past few years, met a lot of people, and experienced a lot of things..."

"My son thinks... Yang Laoer is right!"

"A person's life cannot be all about calculations and calculations. There must be two or three serious things that do not care about gains and losses, just for the sake of going well. There must be a little bit of dissatisfaction in this world because of me, Yang Tiansheng. Same!"

"Let's talk about our Mingjiao..."

"We have been working with the imperial court for many years, right?"

"From the Tang Dynasty to Zhao Wei, we killed many officers and soldiers, as well as many believers."

"The imperial court is in a state of chaos because of us, but why aren't we just on tenterhooks and hiding here and there?"

"Leave it alone, dad, you are considered a well-known figure in the world, right? When you go out and meet people, you say, 'I am Yang Yinghao, the Right Envoy of the Light of the Ming Cult.' Who dares not to clasp your fists and say goodbye three times for a long time?"

"But do you dare to go to Luoyang, stand on the street and shout, 'I am Yang Yinghao, the Right Envoy of the Ming Cult of Light'?"

"You don't even dare to go to the capital. You don't know how the brothers down there are living, right?"

"If we, the two of us, can allow these hundreds of thousands of religious brothers to have a bowl of contented food during their lifetimes, future generations will not have to run around and live in exile for that illusory great cause..."

"If we can save the imperial court from having to lose troops and generals and waste money and people for our Mingjiao, we can now concentrate on dealing with foreign barbarians and do great things!"

"It's considered a great virtue, right?"

"No matter what happens, isn't there still a way out in Japan?"

Yang Yinghao held the tea cup firmly and sipped the hot tea in small sips without saying a word.

What else could he say?

Did he want to give this little brat a thumbs up and say: ‘You are awesome, everything you said is damn right’?

You don’t want to lose face as a father!
