Bastards

After Cui Yu left, the old Prince Ying ran to the backyard and beat up Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao kept rolling, crawling, jumping and jumping, he couldn't help being wronged: "Why beat me, why didn't you beat Big Brother!"

"Has your conscience been eaten by a dog! Your elder brother is almost dead from injuries, and you still let me beat him? You even blocked the whip for him before and said that you feel sorry for him. It's all fake!"

The old man swung the small leather whip, making his moves even sharper.

"Oh——" Yang Zhao was swept by the tip of the whip, clutching his buttocks in pain, and jumped up the tree, "No, grandpa, what are we doing today! Your grandson is staying at home practicing kung fu, there is nowhere. Go, you didn't cause any trouble, where did you get so angry?"

The old man snorted: "You kid is capable, just sit at home and come back from trouble!"

Yang Zhao yelled, begging for mercy while jumping up, but the old man ignored him and beat him up as he should.

I'm not mad at him yet, let's see who they are recruiting!Good with Cui Yu, that kid is as smart as a fox, who can resist him!This bastard's grandson is still good with his brothers, and he is not afraid of being sold and will help count the money!You have the ability, if you have the ability, you can handle Cui Ying, and you marry a wife into the door yourself, so you don't need him, an old man, to plan for a rainy day and take great pains?

In the previous meeting, Cui Yu caught the weak point, retreated step by step, and was led by the nose. The old man has been all-powerful for so many years, how can he be suppressed like this?Naturally, I was a little unhappy in my heart, and of course I was going to beat up my grandson.

How can someone else's children be raised so well? Why is my own breed so stupid and cowardly? All my mind is used to avoid his beatings... Look at this vision, this agility, this speed, really, the younger generation Here, almost no one can compare!

But this is still a little too late, look, isn't that a flaw?

The old man was merciless with his whip, and he swept it severely again: "How many times have I said it, the bottom line is the bottom line, the bottom line is the bottom line, the bottom line is as stable as a mountain, and the trend will not fall, why can't I remember!"

Yang Zhao...Yang Zhao recognized it. If the old man wanted to play with him, he would just play. Anyway, all these years, this is how the old man taught their brothers kung fu.

Anyway, he couldn't dodge a beating, so Yang Zhao simply concentrated on avoiding the old man's whip while comprehending the old man's teachings...

The old man drilled his grandson for a while, and he was sweating all over himself. Only then did his depression disappear and he was satisfied.

Think about it, Cui Yu is a bit too smart, but in this Da'an dynasty, having such an outstanding and upright young man is a blessing, not a curse.Moreover, this kid has great eyesight and a good sense of proportion. He pokes at his weak point, but he doesn't force him to surrender or threaten him to surrender. Instead, he is more humble and polite, and respects him very much for this illustrious prince.

If the two armies are fighting against each other, this is not very good, but if it is to roam the court and the opposition, it is very appropriate to calm down the rule.

And... Wang Duo used the matter of the two children to jump so hard before, and the momentum disappeared in a blink of an eye. People's attitudes and evaluations have changed drastically, and it should be the credit of this child.

But today, Cui Mata didn't mention anything.It should be that I don't want to take credit for this.

As the kid himself said, he wanted the old man to see his abilities...

The old man picked up the pot of tea, pointed at the spout, drank the whole pot of tea, and sighed comfortably.

Forget it, he is old, in this world, after all, he is young!

……

"Our old man is not old, his heart is bright."

Yang Xuan and Cui Yu sat opposite each other in the tea room. After listening to Cui Yu's narration, he squinted at the teacup in his hand and commented on this sentence.

"That's right, I've made progress." Cui Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were smiling, and he looked at Yang Xuan with a very meaningful look, "It seems that he didn't slack off in the palace."

Yang Xuan hurried over, took Cui Yu's hand and kissed him, with a rascal look of 'Since I behaved so well, I must be rewarded and not refused'.

Cui Yu poked him on the forehead, looked away, couldn't help laughing.

Does the Yang family have this gene? One or two are like this!

In fact, just now, the old man let him go.

The old man has his own ideas in his heart, and his behavior seems to be crazy, but in fact he is very measured.He may not fully understand what Yang Xuan has done these years, but after Yang Xuan entered Luoyang, he has seen everything in his eyes, and he has the intention of defending it.

If he could look up to the prince, he would naturally look up to his generation of the prince's door-to-door guests, and he wouldn't care too much about the bravado of poking lungs and pipes in the face.In addition, with so many years of age difference, no matter how young he is, the old man has a lot of experience and knowledge, so he won't take it seriously.Anger was half-truth and half-false, and Ying was pushing the boat along with the current, only then did the great situation behind this come about.

If he feels that he has overwhelmed the old man, continue to oppress, force the old man to express his attitude, or simply threaten, it is the worst policy.The old man has been fighting for so many years, what haven't he seen?Have you experienced such tricks?If he could really be threatened, he wouldn't have the prestige he has today.

It's just that no matter how good the situation is, being oppressed by a young man must make me feel a little uncomfortable...

Cui Yu thought for a while, then patted Yang Xuan's face: "You are free, let someone beat you up twice."

Yang Xuan: ... "Why did I come to the door for a beating?"

Cui Yu smiled: "Because the old man likes to beat people."

"He likes to beat me up, so he wants to come and let him beat me up?" Yang Xuan's eyes widened, and she complained wronged, "You don't even care about me!"

Cui Yan looked at him with the white of his eyes: "Everyone wants to tell you clearly, and you don't even want to be wronged or beaten up to give people peace of mind?"

Yang Xuan held Cui Yu's hand, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and continued to pretend to be wronged: "Qingqing, you don't know that the old man did it...but it's really dark."

Cui Yu knew that this brat was deliberately playing tricks, so he ignored him, frowned slightly, with a solemn expression, and said earnestly: "You are a person who wants to do big things, how can you be so stingy?"

Playing wronged is trying to trick Cui Yu into giving some benefits, but Cui Yu can't let him misunderstand that he is stingy, he is really angry.Yang Xuan couldn't bear Cui Yu's pressure, and his expression immediately returned to seriousness: "Don't worry, I'm not such a waste, I promise to satisfy the old man!"

“这就对了么，”崔俣曲指弹了下杨暄额头，“俗话说老小孩，老小孩，老爷子是性格别扭，以这种方式表达对小辈的喜爱呢。我听说他揍人挺有Mendao, you just took the opportunity to learn from him, and get more things out of him... Aren't you still unable to beat him?"

Yang Xuan silently covered her chest, feeling as if she had been shot by an arrow.

So he moved on to the next topic.

"Qiu Wuwei was very strict. He only confessed to two strongholds that we didn't know about, some scattered information, and nothing else. He said he didn't know who the Lord was, and Shangfeng never showed up."

Cui Yu drank tea slowly, expressionless: "If you don't show up, how can you contact him and send him something? He has become a celebrity in front of the emperor, who else can control him like this?" Obviously, he was lying .

Yang Xuan had already noticed it, and her voice was sarcasm: "Think I'm easy to deceive. What did you say that Shangfeng only appeared with notes and orders, and the dragon never saw the end; he is so loyal because his life was saved... only He revealed a little bit of secrets, and there are loopholes in front and back, and he wants to fool me? I can understand as soon as I hear it, he knows a lot, and he may be the leader of his organization, one of the most critical and important people!"

"I guess he has something—something related to his life and interests, which is controlled by others and has to be so." Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked slightly angry, "No one around knows that I kidnapped him, no one knows He was hidden there, and his family is going to do the funeral, so it's good to be quiet for a while... Then I will continue to check, continue to waste with him, and see how long he can spend!"

Cui Mata rested his chin on his hand, turned the teacup, lowered his brows and eyes, and smiled slightly: "Well, it's also a way."

I don't know if it's because I've been too busy recently, with less gatherings and more separations, or the friendship between the two is getting stronger, but they just can't make it to that point. Cui Yu is always in Yang Xuan's mind.Seeing him at the side right now, with handsome features and elegant demeanor, every move seems to be seducing him...

He couldn't stand it.

"Qingqing..."

Cui Yu put his hand on his chest and pushed it away: "What about me? How does he know?"

Yang Xuan had no choice but to hug Cui Yu's hand and take a bite, chatting for comfort, and continued to talk about things: "He said that the other party just stuffed him with a letter in the downtown area, and the letter was about something related to you. The end of the letter said It was entrusted by his master... From the beginning to the end, he didn't know who the other party was."

"The truth?"

Yang Xuan nodded: "This one doesn't look fake."

Cui Yu was even more confused, who is it?Know his past?

"I got that letter." Yang Xuan touched Cui Yu's face, "The banquet in Yicheng back then had a large number of participants. The guests brought their family members plus people from various schools. Using the method of elimination, there were still three people. More than ten, I will pay attention to collecting and comparing handwriting later, and soon, we will know who this person is... Don't worry, huh?"

Cui Yu sighed: "I just think... this matter seems to be very important and must be investigated."

"Well, don't worry, I'm here."

Cui Yu didn't reject his big hand this time, and took advantage of the opportunity to gently rub against it.

The touch on his hand was so good that Yang Xuan didn't want to let go, so he simply hugged him into his arms and kissed him...

Outside, Cui Yu was very measured and didn't let Yang Xuan go too far. After kissing him, he pushed him away and straightened his clothes: "Is there anything else? I'll go back."

Yang Xuan looked aggrieved: "Qingqing..."

"So it's all right?"

"No, it's something!"

Yang Xuan quickly grabbed Cui Yu's hand, but Cui Yu didn't want to sit next to him this time, and instead sat opposite him: "Let's talk."

"The king of Yue wants to bully me!"

Cui Yu narrowed his eyes: "King Yue?" What the hell is going on?

"Before I rescued him at Wang's house, he probably felt disgusted and didn't want to accept my feelings. In the past two days, he started to release news, saying that the killer was after me...or, I arranged it."

Yang Xuan said pitifully, she kept stretching her hand towards Cui Yu, as if she was waiting for Cui Yu to take pity on him, and she would automatically hold him, and it was better to give him a hug to comfort him.

Cui Yu slapped his hand away and glared at him: "You're not finished yet!"

Yang Xuan understood at a glance, well, there is no show today, so stop playing.

He withdrew his hand regretfully, smacked his lips: "I can handle this matter, just talk to you casually."

Cui Yu's eyes flickered slightly, but he felt that... it could be used.

"Didn't you say before that the matter of the Wang family was written by your father? Let's do this..."

……

The prince Yang Xuan returned to court at the beginning of the court, because he was not familiar with Luoyang and government affairs, Emperor Taikang appointed him as Minister of Zongzheng Temple out of paternalism, and wanted the prince to get closer to relatives and familiarize himself with court affairs.

The prince thought so deeply, and was grateful, dedicated and busy, and fulfilled his duties.

A few days ago, King Yue was assassinated at the Wang family's birthday banquet, and the emperor personally sent Tong Xiu, an imperial guard, to take charge. How can Zongzheng Temple ignore it?

So Yang Xuan strongly intervened in this murder case.

But Zongzheng Temple has no right to investigate the case, so what should we do?Did you get to the Ministry of Criminal Justice?It is not the first time for the prince to sit in the punishment department. He is already familiar with all the procedures, and it is very smooth to play, and no one needs to be reminded.

Does the Minister of the Criminal Ministry dare to disagree?The prince didn't offend him either, he just reminded him: This is the case of the old Prince Ying, you really don't want to?

On the street when I came home, I ran into the old man of the Prince of England beating someone, Shangshu immediately agreed, and he didn't complain at all when he submitted the booklet to Emperor Taikang, saying that it was normal cooperation between departments, and he was very willing to cooperate, there was nothing wrong with it.

Do people under the Ministry of Criminal Affairs dare not cooperate?Pull out Wen Shuquan, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice who was promoted not long ago, and shake it around.

The doctor of the Ministry of punishment does not seem to be very big, but above him is the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and the next level up is the minister of the Ministry of punishment, who has great power in his hands.As a family member, Wen Shuquan took up this official position at a young age, and he is very likely to become the youngest servant in the sixth department. Who wants to offend?

Besides, this seemingly slender-looking Mr. Wen Run has already smoothed out the bottom of the punishment department, and there is no one who is disobedient.

With him watching, those who run up and down the criminal department are called diligent, and those who investigate cases are called swift, and there are new clues almost every day...

Of course, during this period, no one really got in the way.

For example, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, he is a member of the King of Yue, the case has already been settled by Shang Shu, he is not good at deciding to return it, and it is okay to make some troubles and embarrass Yang Xuan...

Yang Xuan didn't care at all, I'll block you if you come, if you don't have enough food, then go to the Prince of England.The old man has a purple gold whip bestowed by the late emperor himself, which even the current emperor dares to beat. Are you really so perfect as a criminal servant, with no shit in your crotch?

Officials in this world, if they go to investigate, they can find something wrong...

So someone stopped the old man's horse in the street to file a complaint, accusing the servant of murdering women, committing adultery and accepting bribes. If there is anything you can't think of, there is nothing this servant did not commit.

The old man hated dudes the most, and he also hated this kind of moth and corrupt officials. He usually only beat dudes, but he would not beat corrupt officials casually. He basically handed over to the emperor, and he just watched.But this time is different, this matter is related to his grandson, how could he be willing to be so obstructed by the minister of punishment?When his temper came up, he took the complaint, and did not report it to Emperor Taikang after checking the facts. He directly took the purple gold whip and whipped people half to death in the street.

The applause of the people almost turned the sky upside down.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment begged the King of Yue, and the King of Yue went to Emperor Taikang, and Emperor Taikang said... I can't help it, who told you to mess with this old man, even the emperor dare not mess with him casually, okay?

And the evidence is so solid!

Minister Shangshu stepped down just like that.

Wen Shuquan, the youngest servant of the Six Departments in history, took office immediately, and he lived up to people's expectations!

Yang Xuan said that she is very satisfied with the result.

But this is not the end, and there is another one who is too risky to die—the Minister of the Ministry of Rites jumped out.

Zongzheng Temple is responsible for the affairs of the royal family, and some of the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites overlap with it. You can take it on yourself, push it to the other party, or leave it alone. When the time comes to pursue accountability, we will see who is more capable.

This Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is also a member of the King of Yue. He has only been promoted for two years, and he especially wants to make meritorious service.He poked out the previous flaws, put it on Yang Xuan's head, and entangled him in the mud.

In fact, what happened earlier was not Yang Xuan's fault at all, he was still in Chang'an and hadn't been welcomed back!But who told him to be the person in charge now?His attitude was very correct, he really admitted the mistake, reported it to Emperor Taikang, and actively solved the problem.

It seems that the crown prince made a big mistake, and he no longer has the momentum of the past, but after that...

His Royal Highness is only busy with this matter, and doesn't care about the criminal case over there!

The case was brought up by the crown prince, who is the presiding officer. Now that he quits, it will naturally be dragged down.

The Prince of England was very angry, he had a grievance and a debtor, and when he got angry, he went directly to the Minister of Rites: I have carried guns for the country, and I have been injured for the people. After so many battles, I have never caused trouble for the court in these years, but this time my grandson got into trouble, and I wanted to deal with it quickly and there would be a result. It would be better for you officials to stop me one by one!

Well, don't bother looking for evidence everywhere, I know you kid, you dared to knock on the widow's door when you were ten years old, peep at the little girl taking a bath, don't say anything, just beat me up first!

The Prince of England has a reason for beating people. This beating, the Minister of Rites almost lost his breath, and he was ashamed to see others.

Emperor Taikang gave King Laiyue a fierce meal, and expressed his opinion in person early in the morning, that Prince Ying has made contributions to the country, and I and Da'an will never forget it!Whoever dares to bully the old man will hit him in the face!At the same time, the crown prince and the Ministry of Criminal Justice must handle the case well, and handle the case quickly, so as not to make the old man sad!

Within a few days, enduring the urge to clean up the prince, he sadly dismissed the Minister of Rites from his post.

There is room for manipulation here...

The post of Shangshu was vacant, and there was room for wrestling. Yang Xuan didn't have a suitable candidate around him, and he couldn't let someone from the King of Yue take the position. In the end, he must choose someone who is not reliable.

As for who to rely on after coming up... It all depends on one's own ability.

Taking advantage of this moment, Yang Xuan and Cui Yu quickly arranged for their own people.For example, Zhang Song, who was an official in the Ministry of Rites, has long remembered his merits. This time, he was promoted to two ranks in a row, and he was directly promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Others, the Ministry of Punishment also changed.

Even Yang Xuan, who is an official of the crown prince's east palace, managed to get it together with the help of the Shangfang sword, the 'Old Man'.

Why do you ask?Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very busy, and there is really no one to help him around. If we don't have all the subordinate officials, there is really no way to devote ourselves to the old man's business.

Before Yang Xuan was in the East Palace, Emperor Taikang said that you should choose your own officials.Seemingly magnanimous, he was given the right to choose, but in fact, the emperor did not speak, and the following could not be moved at all. Whoever you fancy, he himself, including his family members, disagreed.

This time, as soon as the word 'Old Man' was uttered, the people below started to move immediately, planning suitable candidates for the crown prince to choose, there was no way, who would dare to provoke the old man?It can only be considered that the prince is lucky this time!

The lucky prince Yang Xuan took care of the subordinate officials of the East Palace.There are people of my own who followed before, and there are also talents who have not yet been captured.If his family disagrees, he will walk around and say the word 'Old Man', no one will be afraid, no one will not cooperate...

For a while, the prince had a great sense of presence in the circle of courtiers.Although he is taking advantage of the old man, his skill and good luck are decent!

Yang Xuan met Cui Yu at night, hugged him and married him for a few times, and couldn't stop laughing, this time he took advantage of it!

But this method can only be used for such a wave, and after that, it will not work.One is that any external things are not as important as their own strength; the other is that the old man helps them, and they have to be worthy of the old man, and they cannot drag the old man into the pit of seizing the inheritance. After this incident, they need to keep a certain distance...

And then, it's serious drama!The prince said that everything is ready and ready to start at any time!

……

On this day, Prince Ying went out and met Wang Duo on the way. He didn't suppress the fire, and had a fight with the National People's Congress, very unhappy.

After the fight, he kicked open the door of the elder grandson Yang Xu's room. His eyes were wide open, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he roared like a lion: "You really have to be that kid Wang Ji?"

Yang Xu didn't say a word, and silently knelt in front of the ancestral tablet, took off his coat, and showed his back to the old man. He didn't say anything, but the meaning was obvious: You hit me, even if you kill me, I only want that person!

The old man kicked Yang Xu aside angrily: "Do you really think I dare not beat you to death!"

Yang Xu's health is very good, it's okay to be kicked like this, he quickly got up, and knocked his head at the old man's feet: "Your body is skinny, you are the parents, if you beat the grandson to death, the grandson has repaid the favor .”

If you don't listen to what you say, don't eat hard and soft, don't eat oil and salt, after fighting for so long, the old man... has nothing to do.

His gaze passed over the pot of pure white onion orchids on the window sill, he clenched his fists behind his back, his voice was hoarse, and he sighed: "You kneel here for a whole day and night, and I will accept you."

Yang Xu didn't seem to have reacted, he couldn't believe the surprise at all, and asked a little cautiously: "What grandpa said...is it true?"

The old man ignored him, turned around and left.

……

Early in the morning of the second day, the Prince of England carried the coffin and walked to the gate of the Wang family. The atmosphere was as sad as it was dignified.
