Outside the gate of Yang's mansion, a carriage slowly stopped, Yang Daosi's old body appeared, and the coachman hurriedly stepped forward to help Yang Daosi get out of the carriage.

Outside the gate of Yang's Mansion, a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a good demeanor, excellent temperament, and extraordinary appearance, was standing there, and if he looked closely, this young man looked very similar to Yang Daosi.

Yang Daosi walked to the gate, looked at the young man, a smile rose on his face, and said gently: "Lu Wang, why are you standing at the door?" ”

This young man is called Yang Lu Wang, once Yang Daosi's youngest son, because his own brother has never had a child, when Yang Lu Wang was six years old, Yang Daosi passed it to Yang Daoan, some time ago, all the festivals made the envoys gather in Fengjing, Yang Daoan himself did not come, but sent his son Yang Lu Wang with a rich tribute, on behalf of himself, into the current emperor Zhao Zhi.

Yang Luwang bowed his hand and said very politely: "Wait for the uncle to come back and eat together." ”

"You kid, you have a heart."

Yang Daosi nodded with a smile, took Yang Luwang's hand, and walked into the mansion.

The arrival of Yang Luwang made Yang Daosi very happy, among the seven sons, his favorite was this young son, because Yang Luwang was so similar to his young self in terms of appearance and personality.

At that time, Yang Daoan was nearly forty years old, and he still had no children and no daughters, such a situation has affected the stability of Shuzhou, after all, a superior with no heirs, the power in his hands will inevitably not be continued, how can he make his subordinates surrender and be loyal with peace of mind?

In view of this, Yang Daosi asked Yang Daoan to choose one of his seven sons and pass it on to him as a son, Yang Luwang has been smart and lovely since he was a child, not only Yang Daosi loves it, but so does Yang Daoan, with Yang Daosi's arrangement, Yang Daoan directly chose Yang Luwang.

Yang Luwang was selected, Yang Daosi had hesitated, but in the end he still reluctantly cut his love, just because Yang Daoan at that time held the military and political power in Shuzhou, and Yang Daosi, who had just gained a firm foothold in the court, urgently needed his support to stabilize his rights and status.

Father and son eat at the same table.

Yang Daosi eats very slowly, and the amount of food is also very small, he has quit drinking a few years ago, but today he has a few rare drinks.

"Last time, there were a lot of people, and I didn't ask in detail, in the past few years, your life in Shuzhou is okay?"

Yang Daosi asked in a low voice, Yang Luwang has been coming to Fengjing for more than half a month, but the father and son are meeting for the second time, Yang Daosi is busy with government affairs, leaving early and returning late, and although Yang Luwang came to Fengjing, he did not live in Yang's house, but lived in his father-in-law's house.

Yang Luwang's father-in-law is called Zhou Zhiyou, this person is not a big official in the court, let alone a famous family, just a small six-grade household Langzhong.

Zhou Zhiyou is a well-informed and upright person, and he is also very honest as an official, in the early years when he was a county commander in Shuzhou, Yang Daoan's officers committed an accident, and got Yang Daoan's partiality and protection, several officials from the county government yamen went to the barracks to negotiate, but were seriously injured, Zhou Zhiyou was angry, and immediately went naked, with the official seal in his left hand and the pleadings in his right hand, and broke into the barracks alone, angrily reprimanded Yang Daoan, and said, If you don't hand over people, I will die in front of you.

After being scolded by Zhou Zhiyou, Yang Daoan felt admiration, was moved by his courage and daring actions, and finally did not embarrass him, accepted the pleadings, and handed over several officers who committed crimes to the local government for justice.

Subsequently, the two had many intersections, and finally became irreversible friends.

Yang Luwang smiled: "Uncle is worried, everything is fine over there." ”

Yang Luwang has been smart and studious since childhood, studied under Confucianism, with his ability and knowledge, through the imperial examination, it is not a difficult thing, but as Zhao Zhi sits on the throne, after the country is getting stronger, for Yang Daoan, there is obviously an estrangement, for its power in Shuzhou, restrictions and precautions, but also slowly strengthened, Guangyuan 12 years, Yang Daoan was deprived of local administrative rights, in charge of the military, subsequently, Zhao Zhi in Hanzhou and Songzhou, the two military powers, each set up a governor, tens of thousands of soldiers, ostensibly to guard against Tibet, in fact, It is also a very strong deterrent to Yang Daoan, with a series of actions by Zhao Zhi, the relationship between Yang Daoan and the imperial court suddenly became delicate, since the twelfth year of Guangyuan to the present, Yang Daoan has not entered Beijing for more than ten years.

He only has such a son, how dare Yang Daoan rest assured that Yang Luwang will go to Fengjing to become an official?

"When the child was born sensitive, dystocia was damaged, and the bones of the body have always been a little bad, but now it has improved?"

The last time Yang Daosi and Yang Luwang met, it was four years ago, Yang Luwang went to Fengjing that time, and his wife Zhou Zhi also followed, at that time, Zhou Zhi had just given birth to a daughter, and his body was a little bad, so it stands to reason that he should not go far away, but at that time, Zhou Zhi's mother was critically ill, and she had to come.

Yang Luwang said with a smile: "I have already recovered, and now her status in the family is much higher than mine, my father loves her very much, sometimes I quarrel with her, my father doesn't ask whether it is right or wrong, just scold me, I am now in front of Zhi'er, but I don't even dare to speak loudly." ”

When Yang Luwang said the word father, he deliberately looked at Yang Daosi's expression.

Yang Daosi smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed at Yang Luwang: "If Zhi'er knew that you were complaining to me behind her back, I am afraid she would not spare you." ”

Yang Luwang looked bitter, bowed his hand again and again, and pretended to beg for mercy.

Yang Daosi laughed heartily.

The two chatted about family life, and did not talk about anything about politics and officialdom, but they chatted very easily and happily.
