Chapter 66: Strange

Someone from Luoyang?

Zheng Yanqing was shocked when he heard this.

At this time, who would come to him from Luoyang? Since the Yang Guang’s imperial edict was issued, his Zheng family mansion in Gong County has become deserted.

No one can guess Yang Guang’s idea clearly.

He said that Yang Guang hated Zheng Yanqing? But he could even forgive Zheng Yanqing's charges for resisting the imperial edict; he said that he liked Zheng Yanqing? Such a great contribution would be gone if he defeated the merits and demerits. What is the mystery in this? How did the emperor consider it? It inevitably made many people suspicious. Many people are not optimistic about Zheng Yanqing's future... After all, Zheng Yanqing slapped Yang Guang in the face.

Therefore, no one would have contacted Zheng Yanqing at this time, or when Yang Guang's attitude was unclear.

Zheng Yanqing thought about it over and over again, but he couldn't think of who would come to visit.

If you are a familiar person, Chen Guang will definitely report it to you. Since Chen Guang has not reported it to you, I believe that the person who comes will not be too familiar with you.

"Go out and have a look!"

Zheng Yanqing and Shen Guang came from the backyard to the front hall.

I saw a man in his forties wearing gorgeous clothes, holding his hands in the hall.

There were many cars and horses parked in the yard, and countless powerful warriors followed. Zheng Yanqing stepped into the hall and bowed slightly: "I am Zheng Yanqing, I don't know what you are..."

"Oh, Mr. Zheng is polite.

I came to visit the young master on the order of my family. I would like to forgive me if I am chasing you."

Zheng Yanqing was stunned again, "I don't know your master..."

"My home master is Yang Zhuguo, the Minister of Rites of the current dynasty."

Zheng Yanqing shouted lightly and said with a shocked look: "Young Duke knows Yanqing? He is rude and rude. If you offend me just now, please don't be surprised."

The Minister of Rites, Yang Zhuguo, was Yang Xuangan.

Maybe the name Yang Xuangan will make people feel a little unfamiliar, so I am afraid that no one will be unfamiliar with him: Mr. Chu, Yang Su!

Although Yang Su's title of "Duke Chu" is not hereditary.

But if you are used to it, people will still call Yang Xuangan the young king. However, after Yang Su's death, Yang Xuangan was not proud of his life. Because Yang Guang was quite concerned about Yang Su, he had no good feelings for Yang Xuangan. Fortunately, when Yang Guang conquered Liaodong, there were many voices of opposition from civil and military officials in the court, but Yang Xuangan stood firmly on Yang Guang's side, which greatly changed Yang Guang's senses towards him.

It is precisely because of this that after Yang Guang withdrew his troops from Goguryeo, he appointed Yang Xuangan as the Minister of Rites.

When Yang Su was alive, his disciples and former officials were all over the court and the country. Yang Xuangan was often proud of this, thinking that he was a high-ranking sect and was full of famous scholars today. However, Zheng Yanqing and Yang Xuangan had no intersection. When he was a disciple of Changsun Sheng in Luoyang, Yang Guang was quite concerned about Yang Xuangan, so he left Yang Xuangan in Chang'an. When Yang Xuangan came to Luoyang, Zheng Yanqing had already been away from Luoyang. Therefore, Yang Xuangan only knew Zheng Yanqing's name because of his father, but the two had never had formal contact.

What does Yang Xuangan suddenly send someone?

The person who came was named Yang Mu, who was Yang Xuangan's retainer.

After Zheng Yanqing greeted him, the two of them sat down separately.

Yang Mu said: "When Duke Chu was alive, he thought of the name of Prince E. He said that Prince E. was a great wise man of the age. The owner of the family has admired him for a long time, but because of his busy official duties, he has never been able to drink and talk to Prince E., so he often thinks he regrets it."

Zheng Yanqing hurriedly gave in modesty, "This young man is in love with him, but Yan Qing really dares not take it."

Yang Mu smiled and said, "The young master is now unemployed, and the master of the family feels a pity. With his talent as a young master, he lives in this small land in Gong County, which is of no use to the country. Therefore, the master of the family sent a villain to come out to ask the young master to come out to assist. Originally, the master of the family wanted to come to the door in person, but because His Majesty was about to fight east and everything was busy, he could not get out for the time being. So he sent his servants to come, offer generous gifts, and accept them with a smile."

"Your Majesty, are you going to fight again?"

Zheng Yanqing was stunned and immediately reacted: Yang Guang and Zeng three-in-command Goguryeo, and it was only the first time he had conquered Liaodong before!

Something suddenly flashed through my mind, which made Zheng Yanqing's heart tremble.

Zheng Yanqing could not remember the process of the second conquest of Goguryeo. But there was one thing he still remembered. When Yang Guang and the second conquest of Goguryeo, Yang Xuangan seemed to be Yang Xuangan rebelling, so that the second conquest of Goguryeo had to stop halfway and ended up with a bad reputation.

Yang Xuangan...

I remembered it! No wonder this name sounds familiar.

But Yang Xuangan asked me to help?

Don't he know that I am ordered to live in seclusion now?

Zheng Yanqing was confused, but he quickly figured out the truth. Since Yang Xuangan could regard Yang Guang's edict as nothing, then he thought...

In an instant, Zheng Yanqing's thoughts were changing.

If you want to forcibly refuse, it may be inappropriate. If you don’t do it well, it will anger Yang Xuangan. As the Minister of Rites and General of the Zhu Kingdom, it is really easy for Yang Xuangan to kill Zheng Yanqing. Therefore, he could not agree, but he had to refuse politely.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yanqing showed gratitude.

"Since the young king knows the name of Yanqing, how can Yanqing refuse?

But... My family ancestor is now ill and I can't bear to ignore it. I wonder if Mr. Yang can tell me that once my family ancestor is healthy, Yan Qing will definitely visit him."

"Ling Zu, are you sick?"

"It's..." Zheng Yanqing sighed, "After Yanqing went to go to Goguryeo, his family ancestor was worried and couldn't sleep all day long. Later, Mr. Yang must have heard that a shameless person framed me, causing his family ancestor to be arrested by Qianniuwei, fearful and still cannot afford to rest assured."

This is an excellent excuse.

No matter how domineering you, Yang Xuangan, cannot stop me from fulfilling my filial piety.

Yang Mu couldn't help but frowned slightly, turned his head slightly, and glanced at the man behind him.

Behind him, a family member of the soapy clothes stood with his hands down. He was seven feet and seven inches tall, with black beards under his jaw, white teeth and red lips, and a majestic face. Although he was dressed as a retainer, he could not hide his extraordinary demeanor. Yang Mu's movements were not very big, but Zheng Yanqing kept observing his movements and clearly saw his actions. The man behind him suddenly entered Zheng Yanqing's sight.

Is this person a retainer?

"Of course, the owner of the family knows about this, but he doesn't know the elder's health... If the young master does not abandon me, there are some people who are good at medical skills among the people I accompany me. Why don't you ask him to investigate? Is it possible that there will be a great result?"

"If this is true, Yan Qing will be grateful."

Zheng Yanqing was so surprised when he was accompanying him.

He stood up and led Yang Mu to the backyard bedroom. Zheng Shi'an had just taken a nap and was in good spirits. While talking to Mao Xiaonian, Yang Mu brought someone to come in with Zheng Yanqing.

"Grandpa, I'll invite a famous doctor for you to treat you."

Zheng Shi'an was puzzled, "Yan Qing'er, I'm very good in my body, but I was frightened before and I was bedridden. It will be better after a while, so why do I need to hire a famous doctor?"

"Your health is getting better, and your grandson can rest assured soon."

A accompanying doctor stepped forward to take Zheng Shi'an's pulse.

Although Zheng Shian found it strange, he couldn't refuse Yan Qing's intentions.

After a while, the doctor finished the investigation and walked out of the room with Yang Mu and others.

He whispered a few words in Yang Mu's ear. Yang Mu nodded slightly, took Zheng Yanqing's hand and said, "Young Master, the body of the old man... I can only say, it's a pity! I should report this to the master of the family truthfully. When the old man is healthy, I hope the young master will not refuse."

Zheng Yanqing did not ask, and sent Yang Mu and his group to leave.

However, he accepted all the gifts Yang Mu sent.

On the way back, the retainer standing behind Yang Mu suddenly asked, "Yang Mu, Zheng Yanqing's grandfather, is he really seriously ill?"

Yang Mu said: "Reply to Mr. Li's words, the old man seemed to be energetic, but in fact he lost all his vitality.

It is estimated that it will take more than half a year. Zheng Yanqing did not deliberately shirk it. It seems that he is really unable to escape. I heard that he was adopted by the old man since childhood and the two depended on each other. Before, he was framed, and the old man was really guilty, not as if he was false."

Mr. Li frowned and said nothing, gently twisting his short beard under his jaw.

For some reason, the feeling this young master of goose always gives me is a bit strange.

Although I don’t know what is strange? But... I hope I’m just guessing it randomly. However, according to his performance, he doesn’t look like a strong man. He can be a “scholar and a lord who can burn to death to the unjust marquis” and dare to resist the orders, how could he look like this?

"Mr. Li, what did you find?"

"Not...so that's it. Send someone secretly and pay more attention to Zheng Yanqing again.

Although he promised to assist the young master, I always feel that it is a bit abnormal. Being more careful will never be a bad thing."

"So, the villain will make arrangements now!"

Zheng Yanqing didn't know that he had been paid attention to by others.

After seeing Yang Mu away, he took Shen Guang and others to count the gifts. This counting didn't matter, and Zheng Yanqing was shocked.

Because Yang Xuangan's gifts were extremely heavy, with a total value of nearly 30,000 guan.

What exactly is the concept of 30,000 jin?

Let me put it this way, the annual income of the Great Sui Dynasty during the Kaihuang period was only 17 million guan. The annual cost of an ordinary family of five was about ten guan. For example, the annual salary of Yu Kuluo was only 2,000 guan. 30,000 guan, which is equivalent to the annual salary of Yu Kuluo.

Zheng Yanqing was secretly shocked and was also secretly careful.

Could it be that Yang Xuangan had already turned against him at this time?

"Put it all away."

After Zheng Yanqing finished his order, he pulled Shen Guang aside: "You go to Luliu Temple immediately, present the gift list to your aunt, and ask her to deal with it at your discretion."

At this time, there are not many people he can trust.

The only thing that can be trusted is Pei Shuying in Green Willow Temple.

After the arrangement was made, Zheng Yanqing returned to Zheng Shi'an's bedroom. Mao Xiaonian had just wiped the face for Zheng Shi'an and was walking out with water.

After a year, Xiao Nian became more and more immersive.

The big watery eyes are always full of affection, and the graceful figure is concave and concave. A long green dress adds a bit of agility to her.
