Improper stepping stone for men

The news in the capital spread very fast, and the servants of the nobles' mansions would more or less share some gossip with each other. The servants of Ning Guogong's mansion soon knew about such a big event in the palace.

The master's promotion to King Ning was originally a big event worth celebrating, but because of the incident caused by the mistress, when Yang Yan returned to the mansion, no one dared to approach him to congratulate him and ask for the reward.

The butler even knelt at the gate early, and when he saw his figure, he tremblingly stepped forward to plead guilty, but he was evading responsibility both inside and out.

Since Jiang Ruxue fell into the water two years ago, she has changed her previous low-key demeanor. She dresses up all day, plays around and participates in banquets, and even has close relationships with some men. It is impossible to say that he is in charge of the entire Ningguo Mansion. You know, that's impossible.

It's just that Jiang Ruxue happened to find out that he secretly embezzled the property of the Ningguo government. For his own life, he could only be threatened by her, turned a blind eye to her affairs, and even often fought for her. cover.

It's ridiculous that the housekeeper racked his brains to clean himself up after Jiang Ruxue's incident, but he didn't know that what he did was also mentioned in the script.

As early as when Yang Yan just returned to Beijing, he had already found out all these things he did secretly. Apart from being discovered by Jiang Ruxue, he also did a lot of evil things in the name of the Duke's Mansion .

Of course, he would not let this kind of slave who betrayed the master easily. After enumerating his crimes, he was ordered to be sent to the government for investigation. With the crimes he committed, there must be no way out in this era.

After that, Yang Yan showed his iron and blood side and cleaned up the entire Duke's mansion. Those servants who ate the master's food and ate meat and blood on the master's body all got the retribution they deserved.

Several maidservants who helped Jiang Ruxue cover up were also sold out, charged with betraying the master, destined no good people to want them, and their fate can be imagined.

After experiencing such an experience, almost two-thirds of the people in the entire Duke's Mansion went away, and the rest were all honest and honest, and they never dared to be monsters throughout their lives.

Yang Yan didn't go to buy people anymore, but took in some subordinates in the army who were unfortunately injured and disabled and had nowhere to go, and arranged some competent jobs for them in the mansion, which was regarded as a way of life for them.

This move not only solved the manpower problem in the mansion, but also increased his prestige in the army, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The Sheng family didn't hear about such a big event from the neighbors until the second day after the incident. The first thing they thought was not that their son/brother/brother's official position was promoted, and their family would also rise with the tide, but that they felt sorry for him. Such a bad thing happened to me.

Mrs. Sheng even showed her street-swearing skills of an old farm lady, and scolded her third daughter-in-law, saying that she had no conscience and was as stupid as a pig. She was given a rich and peaceful life, but she even committed the scandal of stealing her husband and stealing a man.

Afterwards, he persuaded his son to marry a good wife. This girl from a wealthy family is thinking about something in her head. It is better to be a girl from the countryside. She will live a simple and down-to-earth life. It is better to choose a wife from her hometown next time.

On the spot, I picked up those pretty virtuous and good girls that I remembered in my mind, such as Aunt Zhang and her niece, Aunt Wang and her niece, Brother Li and his wife's sister... There are a lot of them.

Yang Yan was dumbfounded by the old lady, and quickly interrupted her: "Mother, what age are these girls you are talking about?"

He doesn't know about the others, but he remembers Aunt Zhang and his niece. My mother mentioned it when I said we were married. It has been six years, and I am afraid that everyone has given birth to their children. Fortunately, she brought it up again.

"They're all fifteen or sixteen years old," Mrs. Sheng didn't turn her head around for a moment. Seeing her son asking her, she thought he was moved, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, they are all worthy of you. If you think it's okay, why not?" It's time for us to go back and see each other."

"Mother, the fifteen or sixteen years old you mentioned refers to the time when you just moved out of your hometown?" Yang Yan stroked his forehead helplessly, "It's been five or six years. Those girls are still unmarried, right?"

Only then did Mrs. Sheng come to her senses, she patted her forehead hard and said "confused", but she soon cheered up again, and wanted to write a letter back to her hometown to ask her relatives to help her find out if there were any other good girls.

Yang Yan hurriedly stopped him, saying that he didn't want to get married for the time being, and now that the court was changing, it was a busy time, and he didn't have that much time to spare.

Although Mrs. Sheng doesn't understand these major national affairs, fortunately she is not stubborn, and she never points fingers at things she doesn't understand.

Hearing what her son said, she gave up this idea for the time being, and planned to wait for him to finish his business before making arrangements for him, but she didn't know that she thought that her son's remarriage was destined to be far away.

After the family affairs were settled, everything in court went smoothly, the plaque of Ningguo Duke's Mansion was quickly replaced, and the three characters of Ning Wang's Mansion were hung on it.

The ministers of the court came to congratulate him one after another, but Wu Xingwen and other subordinates who followed him didn't quite understand. They had all entered the palace. Why didn't they simply turn against the Fang family's status and become emperor themselves, instead of submitting to an idiot prince?

Although they didn't face the general in the palace on the spot, several people got angry with him after they left, and went back to their residences without saying hello. But he didn't even want to show his face.

What can Yang Yan do if his subordinates are angry with him?Of course, I personally went to the door to coax!

The first thing he found was Wu Xingwen, a military adviser. Don't look at him thinking about rebellion all day long. In fact, he was forced to protect himself by the suspicion of the old emperor for years, so he came up with this bad idea.

Yang Yan ordered the mansion to thank the guests behind closed doors, and brought good wine and good food. When he found Wu's house, he was playing with his youngest son again. The little guy still remembered the uncle who took his father away last time, and his little mouth suddenly pouted.

"See what uncle brought you here?" Seeing the little guy hugging his father tightly and looking at him defensively, Yang Yan was a little embarrassed, and quickly took out a very beautifully decorated small sword.

The little guy was a little moved, but in the end he chose his dear father, and gave him a disgusted look, his little eyes drifted over the little sword studded with gems, and he buried his head tightly in his father's arms.

"Old Wu..." Yang Yan looked pitifully at the man with a straight face.

"My lord doesn't enjoy the compliments from those high-ranking officials, so what's the point of coming to this humble place?" Wu Xingwen said with a sulky face, unmoved at all.

"It's not that you don't know me, and you're the most impatient with those human relationships." Yang Yan smiled helplessly and said, "Are you still angry with me? I'm also to blame for this matter, and I didn't discuss it with you in advance."

The boss put his posture so low, Wu Xingwen didn't take Joe again, walked over to take the small sword in his hand, stuffed it into the arms of his younger son, patted his little butt, and handed him to Hou Zai The nurse at the side said: "Go and play with your brother, and Daddy will accompany you later."

The little guy was a little unhappy, but he still nodded obediently, snorted to Yang Yan next to him, and was carried away by the nurse with his mouth pouted.

"The child is naughty, please forgive me." Wu Xingwen arched his hands perfunctorily, walked to the side of the stone bench and sat down, took a sip from his teacup.

Well, this is still angry!

Yang Yan was not annoyed, went to sit opposite him, opened a teacup by himself, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, tested the temperature and it was ok, poured it into his stomach in one gulp.

Hearing that there was no one around, he said bluntly: "I know what you think, instead of being afraid of the emperor's jealousy all day long, it's better to be the emperor yourself, but have you ever thought about whether Lao Wu?"

"It's easy to take down the imperial palace and the capital, but once the news gets out, the troops stationed around will definitely be ready to move. Everyone will think, I, Sheng Yangyan, can be the emperor by force, why shouldn't they?"

Seeing that Wu Xingwen opened his mouth to speak, he made a gesture to stop him, and continued: "Yes, I have the most soldiers in the entire Dalin Dynasty, and they are also the strongest. Those people are definitely not our opponents."

"But not everyone has a clear understanding of their own strength, and the bulging desire sometimes blinds a person's eyes, and some people even report the mentality of fighting for it."

"So once I replace Fang's family as emperor, war will be inevitable. Do you agree with this?"

He has said everything, what else can Wu Xingwen say?He could only nod with a sullen face, and at the same time understood his scruples in his heart.

He himself was born as a commoner, and he can best understand how much damage the war has caused to the common people. If the northern barbarians hadn't gone south to cause rebellion, he would not have been forcibly conscripted into the battlefield.

Although he himself was lucky enough to survive and became a military adviser, how many fellow villagers were buried in that land forever?

Moreover, those villages in the border towns that have experienced wars are not an exaggeration to say that they are ten rooms and nine empty. When he first joined the army, he once passed by the villages that were massacred. The horrible scene made him have nightmares for several nights, until I haven't forgotten it yet.

"Okay, I know what you mean." Wu Xingwen interrupted what he was about to say, and said sarcastically, "Your Prince Ning cares about the people and cares about the country and the people, but have you ever thought about the safety of yourself and your brothers? "

"The life of the common people is life, so our life is not life?" he said excitedly and stood up, "Big guy entrusts his life to you, I hope you can find a way out for us, but you see what you choose what?"

"I think Fang Jialong's bastard is worse than his thief father. Now he is holding you up and respecting you. When he is firmly seated on the throne, he will be the first to attack you. Believe it or not?"
