Monument Yangmen

Chapter 50 Arrogance is a disease...

After breakfast, Yang Yansi went back to his room and sat alone by the window in a daze.

Holding a plate of dried fruit, She Saihua approached Yang Yansi and stroked his head.

"Why, unhappy, still angry with your father?"

Yang Yansi shook his head, a little irritable, "No, it's just that I'm a little confused."

She Saihua took a short seat, sat next to Yang Yansi, and said gently: "You have grown up too, so you should be able to understand your father's temper. He has such a temper, and no one can change it. You help Liu Lang to plan for an official position. A good thing. It's just that your father doesn't like this method."

Yang Yansi pinched a piece of dried fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. The dried fruit was a bit salty, so he frowned and spat it out.

"As long as our Yang family can be safe and sound, we will be prosperous forever. My child doesn't mind using any means."

Yang Yansi's words were straightforward, his tone was firm, and his determination was firm.

She Saihua was a little dazed, thinking that Yang Yansi was angry, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, don't talk nonsense, the Yang family is rich because your father and your brothers are fighting on the battlefield, and it's not your turn to come out."

"Besides, our Yang family is a clean family, and we can't tolerate those dirty tricks."

Yang Yansi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, he realized that maybe he was wrong.

He always felt that Yang Ye's lack of political acumen led to the tragic death of the Yang family members on the battlefield.Until hearing these two words from She Saihua, Yang Yansi felt that he might have made a wrong judgment.

Yang Ye may not have no political mind, but his political mind was suppressed by his loyalty, bravery and integrity.

Yang Ye, who has illustrious military exploits, doesn't bother to use small tricks, and doesn't bother to play some insidious tricks.

This is a kind of arrogance and a kind of arrogance.

People with this kind of arrogance will become great heroes who stand upright.

However, these big heroes don't seem to have much good end.

Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was killed by this kind of self-confident arrogance.

Perhaps, it was this arrogance that really led to the tragic death of the members of the Yang family on the battlefield.

Politics and tactics have always been full of intrigue and insidious means.

In the absence of an undefeated golden body, a righteous hero can't compete with a sinister and cunning villain.

……

With this in mind, Yang Yansi's belief in planning for the Yang family not only did not waver, but became firmer.

"Mother, the child has grown up, and the child has his own ideas."

Seeing the smile on Yang Yansi's face again, She Saihua seemed to have listened to her own words, and she rejoiced in her heart, and said angrily, "Stinky boy, even after 100 years, in Wei Niang's eyes, you are still a child."

Yang Yansi said with a hippie smile: "Yes, after 100 years, the child will still have to kneel in front of you and salute you."

"Spoof!" She Saihua nodded Yang Yansi's head, "Mother, I won't tell you anymore, I guess the imperial decree from the palace to seal your two elder brothers is about to arrive. Mother must go get ready."

The imperial decree from the palace had indeed arrived, and Yang Yansi wanted to use an excuse to avoid the fate of being a kowtow, but after all, he couldn't resist Yang Ye's majesty, and became a kowtow twice.

In the Song Dynasty, kneeling was rarely used, and it was generally only used when worshiping parents and teachers.Officially, it is only used when the emperor sacrifices to heaven and receives the imperial decree.

Yang Yanzhao got a new official position as a priest in Xitou, and the emperor gave him a set of shining golden armor.

Cao Wei also got the same set of armor.

The two wore armor and had long swords around their waists, showing off in front of Yang Yansi.

"Brother Qilang, am I handsome and energetic in this suit?" Cao Wei patted on the armor and leaned in front of Yang Yansi.

Yang Yansi pushed Cao Wei away, and said angrily, "It's all in tatters, there's nothing to show off."

Yang Yanzhao also came over, putting on airs, "I'm an eighth-rank enshrined official, so why don't you salute quickly when you see this official?"

Yang Yansi glanced at Yang Yanzhao.

"To put it nicely, it's called an enshrining officer. To put it bluntly, it's just two gatekeepers. There's nothing to show off."

Yang Yansi pulled up Shi Yuansun who was squatting next to him, and said, "According to the grade, the little stone is older than you by how many grades, why don't you salute him?"

Shi Yuansun was obviously unhappy, he shook his head and said, "Brother Qilang, this title of mine is just a false title, it's not just a fancy title."

Wang Shilong was also unhappy, "As long as our fathers are strong, the two of us will not have the chance to become officials. No matter how high the official position is, it is useless. The salary issued by the court is not as much as the monthly salary given by the family."

Yang Yansi understands Shi Yuansun and Wang Shilong's troubles, the family is too prominent, sometimes it is not a good thing.

Ever since Taizu released his military power with a cup of wine, the Shiwang family has rarely led troops to war, and the heirs of the two families basically live on the merits.

The four words 'Gaogaizhu' are terrible.

In the Song Dynasty, these four characters were life-threatening talismans, and whoever touched them would die.

When Taizu was still in power, Shi Yuansun's grandfather Wei Guogong Shi Shouxin, in order to avoid Taizu's embarrassment, changed from a well-known general to a money-hungry miser.

Taizu seemed happy to see the success, not only did not punish him, but also contributed to the flames.

Yang Yansi didn't want to see Shi Yuansun and Wang Shilong standing in front of him, so he also planned to contribute to the flames.

"Don't envy the two of them. As the saying goes, it's not bright in the east and bright in the west. If you can't be an official, then go to be a businessman. The birthday cake we made has already spread in Bianjing. Why don't we just Take the opportunity to open a few stores and earn some cash?"

Wang Shilong hesitated, "Brother Qilang, you made the birthday cake, it is impossible for our brothers to make money with what you made..."

Yang Yansi still appreciates the spirit of the ancients who do not ask whether they are thieves.

If this is placed in later generations, who will tell you these things, who will maintain such pure thoughts?
"It doesn't matter. I invest in technology and get [-]% of the shares. You pay for the store, and each of you gets [-]%. How about it?"

Shi Yuansun and Wang Shilong looked at each other and nodded together.

"Listen to you."

Cao Wei rushed forward and hurriedly said: "Count me in, count me in..."

No one here knows how attractive the cake is.This is a completely guaranteed business, and Cao Wei is not stupid, how could he miss it?

Yang Yanzhao also leaned forward, "Seventh brother, why don't you take money from the family to do this kind of profitable business yourself?"

Yang Yansi rolled his eyes and scolded: "What are you two getting involved in... I'd better go obediently and guard the gate for His Majesty."

Yang Yansi had his own reasons for doing this, he threw out the cake business in order to form a small interest alliance with the Shi family and the Wang family.

Although this small benefit cannot bind the Yang family and the Shiwang family together.But in the court, when necessary, the Shiwang family will also think of some affection and speak for the Yang family.

He knew very well in his heart that there were no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

"By the way, you four, prepare 2000 taels of silver each when you go back, and send them to me later."

"why?"

"Why? You are ashamed to ask. At the beginning, you agreed to the old eunuch Wang Jien. As long as you get the reward, you will give him a heavy gift. Otherwise, why do you think he cooperated with you so much in the Daqing Palace?"
