"Scaring me?" Originally, the attention was still on the body of Hu Hu, who was leaving, but because Xu Youzhen's words were really aroused. "Tell you, Lord Xu, this official has been on the battlefield, and he can be regarded as crawling out of the pile of dead people, what kind of scene have I never seen, saying that he wants to scare me, hum! I'm afraid you don't have that kind of ability. ”

"Good, good." Xu Youzhen slapped her face after hearing this, with a look of appreciation. But then his face became a little more serious and said: "Yang Shan, do you know that there is no way in front of you, and you are already a dead end?" ”

"A dead end?" Yang Shan pretended not to understand, but in fact, he was shocked in his heart. Some things are just what he has thought about in his heart, and he has not yet been finally implemented, but how could this Xu Youzhen know, he is just a newly appointed secretary of the Criminal Department, although he is in a high position, he is still just a new courtier, and he shouldn't know so many secrets of Nanming.

Seeing that Yang Shan still didn't admit it and didn't want to face the facts, Xu Youzhen knew that it would not work without exposing some fierce information, so he immediately said with a righteous look: "Lord Yang, you are a seventeen-year-old being. After that, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, raised troops (1399) and launched the "Battle of Jingnan". In the first year of Yongle, it was changed to the prelude class of Honglu Temple. Honglu Temple is in charge of the celebration of the court, the preface is from the nine products, although the official position is small, but you can often see the emperor. Your "great demeanor, loud voice, work in stop", always for the Ming Chengzu Zhu Di attention, and later tired officials into the right temple of Honglu. After Akihito's accession to the throne, he was promoted to Honglu Temple. Soon after, he was promoted to the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and was also in charge of Honglu Temple, yes or no? ”

Listening to Xu Youzhen talking about her life past like a few treasures, Yang Shan was not so surprised, something like this, as long as you have a heart, you can naturally find it. So he nodded, "Yes, you're right, go on?" ”

"Okay." Seeing that Yang Shan would not enter the coffin and not cry, Xu Youzhen did not decide to stay, and continued: "In the battle of Tumubao, you were lucky, you were rescued by the loyal father, and then went to Nanjing with Yingzong, creating the situation of Nanming. In this way, you can be regarded as an old minister, and you can be regarded as an important minister, but when Yingzong established the Southern Ming Dynasty and rewarded the officials, you did not have any share, on the contrary, you are still the position of the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites. Do you know why? ”

Without waiting for Yang Shan to explain, Xu Youzhen had already given the answer for him, "Lord Yang, outsiders say that you are upright and eloquent. But in fact, you have your own bottom line for doing things. Because of this bottom line, you did not choose to enter the river as mud like most officials, but fell in love with the lotus, using the set of getting out of the mud without staining. It is precisely because you abide by your bottom line and refuse to do things that use power for profit that Yingzong will not choose you as a Shangshu. ”

A book must not only be able to do things, but also be able to do things. But you will only be the former, for the latter, because of your bottom line, you have offended a lot, if Yingzong really puts the Ministry of Rites into your hands, I am afraid that it will soon cause chaos, that is the most wrong thing. Not to mention, because of your unnecessary uprightness, you have offended Yingzong's close ministers Cao Jixiang, Menda and others. And then because of your talent, you threatened your top boss Liu Deshangshu. Hehe, a person who has been an official for so many years can erect enemies everywhere, and he has forced himself into a dead end, to be honest, it is really admirable. ”

Xu Youzhen's words seemed to have come to an end, but they had already shocked Yang Shanzhen.

To say that he has been an official for so many years, he has not thought about why he can't go further, and become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites from Zuo Shilang. But every time I was born partially, I almost succeeded. But that position was far away in the sky, and it seemed to be close at hand, so that when his hope rose again and again, he faced the blow of disappointment again and again.

Finally one day, Yang Shan figured it out, I am afraid that because of his bottom line, the practice of refusing to turn a blind eye in case of trouble is unpleasant, so he can't put the power in his own hands. But even if he realizes this, the so-called country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, how can Yang Shan easily change it.

It's just that this thing that took him many years to figure it out, and now that Xu Youzhen is so understated, how can he not be surprised?

And what surprised him even more was that the other party knew about the understanding between himself and Liu De, Cao Jixiang and Menda, such a thing can only be understood by others if they want to understand, and they are very familiar with themselves. Could it be that this Xu Youzhen had noticed herself a long time ago, and she had collected her own information in many ways?

After the look of surprise in his eyes lasted for a while, Yang Shan shook his head painfully, at this time, he was not thinking about how the other party knew these things, but what he was going to do next, was it really as the other party said, he had no way out?

"What? Why don't you speak? Seeing that Yang Shan's eyes were first surprised, and then revealed the attitude that everything didn't matter, Xu Youzhen had a premonition and asked Yang Shan.

"What do you want me to say? Didn't you say that I had no way out? Yang Shan shook his head, looking dejected. There is a darkness in my heart, I think I have paid my youth for Daming, I have paid most of my life, and I don't know how many times I have walked through the knife and fire, but in the end, it is still inevitable that a family will be ruined, so how can it not disappoint.

Yang Shan's look of disappointment completely fell into Xu Youzhen's eyes, and he knew that something could be said. All this went more smoothly than he imagined, I thought that Yang Shan would die for a while, and he would only pick the time to say the following words, but now that the other party has figured everything out, he is even disheartened, and now it is time for him to show his hole cards. "Lord Yang, there is indeed no way forward, but why don't you want to take a step back? The ancients, take a step back and open the sky! ”

"Take a step back?" For a while, Yang Shan was also a little confused by Xu Youzhen's words. But when he understood the general meaning of the other party, he shook his head again, "There is no way back, this time the mission cannot be completed, that is, I can return to Nanjing and Kyoto, and there is something available, those people will not let me go, Yingzong will not let me go, and even my family is afraid that it will be affected." ”

When talking about his family, Yang Shan's expression obviously showed a little more warmth, but it was just a flash.

"Yes, family! Who doesn't have a family? The reason why we work so hard is that in addition to hoping to leave a name in history, it is nothing more than to make our family's life better. But sometimes, even this small request is difficult to achieve, and sometimes we still call ourselves saint disciples, saying that we are in power, and everything is just a joke. It's just that... It's just that Lord Yang, your life is very good, and you are favored by others, so you still have a way back, so not only will you be fine, but your family will also be fine. Xu Youzhen took her family as the starting point, and suddenly turned her words to what she really wanted to express today.

I heard Xu Youzhen talk about his family before, which also made him involuntarily think of his dream when he was young, isn't it just for the sake of leaving a name in history and living a better life for his family?

Just as he was thinking about Fei Fei with these words, suddenly the voice changed, and it became something that someone took a fancy to him, which made his spirit slow down at this moment, that is, his thoughts seemed to have stopped, and he needed to digest the content of these words slowly.

It seemed that after a breath, and it seemed to be a dozen or dozens of breaths, Yang Shan suddenly raised his head, "Lord Xu, what did you just say?" ”

"I said that someone has taken a fancy to you, he will give you a way to live, and it may even be a good road in the future, but at the moment you really need to carry something, I don't know if you are willing." Xu Youzhen's eyes were like a regular, staring at Yang Shan tightly, waiting for his answer.

"Give me a way to live? What do I need to do? Yang Shan still didn't understand a little, but he probably knew that in addition to a dead end, he also had a way to choose, so that was enough.

"It's very simple to do, just need..."The so-called partition wall has ears, although there are only two of them left in the room, but when talking about the next thing, Xu Youzhen still took the way of "biting the ear", so it can be seen that the matter is very important.

Yang Shan listened with his ears pricked up at first, but after a while, his face changed greatly, and the whole body became excited. I don't know if this excitement is because of anger or happiness, in short, my face is a little red.

"Lord Yang doesn't need to be too excited, there is still time for you, it's just not much. Well, the handwritten letter your wife has written to you should be almost there, and you will be making your own decision when the time comes. Now it's better to take a good rest, with all due respect, no matter what a person wants to do, whether it is good or bad, he must first have a good body, hahaha. ”

Xu Youzhen left, leaving Yang Shan alone and sitting on the chair a little unreluctantly, at this moment he thought a lot, a lot...

Hu Hu had already left, I was afraid that he had already guessed what would happen, and it was not suitable for him to stay here for such a thing. And after leaving the post station, Hu Hu's whole person became a lot more silent, he already felt something, but it was not clear. So before making a final decision, he still needs to take a good look and listen.

Jianning House.

It took two years to leave, and when Yang Chendong returned here, he had already changed his identity and became the loyal and courageous father of the Ming Dynasty, I heard that both the Northern Emperor Zhu Qiyu and the Southern Emperor Zhu Qizhen were very optimistic about him and had a deep friendship with him.
