Chapter 215
The Yang family of Hongnong, whose ancestor was Yang Chang, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, lived in Huayin for generations. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, they have been a famous family in the world.

After Yang Chang's great-great-grandson "Kanxi Confucius" Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen's sons Yang Bing, Sun Yangci, and great-grandson Yang Biao were re-elected as Taiwei. The Yuan family in Runan was the leader of the world's aristocratic family, and became one of the most powerful aristocratic families in the world.

But this is far from all the glory of the Yang family. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the three Yangs of the Western Jin Dynasty who had been in power, and then Yang Bo and Yang Chun brothers in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and even in the hands of Yang Jian and Yang Su. Leap into the royal family, prominent for a while.

Although the current Sui Dynasty has perished, the Yang family has not returned to dust with the former Sui Dynasty, and the glory of the Yang family is still being written.

Now the elder of Hongnong Yang clan, the eldest son of Guande Wang Yangxiong, the son of the former Sui imperial family, and Yang Gongren, the Duke of Guanguo, was highly valued by the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan during the Wude period. Jin, quite prestigious in the court.

Yang Gongren's second brother, Yang Xu, is the official governor of Yunzhou, and the younger brother Yang Shidao, the official worshiper of Honglu Temple, is a senior official of the third rank in the court. Counting people, and this is just Hongnong Yang's view of the king's house, the prosperity of Hongnong Yang's family can be seen from this.

On the way to Huayin, Li Ke was afraid that the itinerary would change again, so he ordered Wang Xuance, Ma Zhou, and Qin Huaidao to lead the team, while Li Ke himself took Xi Junmai and Cen Changqian to Huayin Yang. Going to the mansion, with Qin Huaidao, the unscrupulous little eunuch, on his side, he can deal with those local officials in every way.

The Hongnong Yang family can be said to be the leading family in the world, and it is even ahead of Fanchuan Weidu in Guanzhong.

The family reputation of the Yang family is already like this. Li Ke originally thought that the gate of the Yang family must also be magnificent.

But when Li Ke really stood outside the gate of Yang's Mansion and looked at the main entrance of Yang's Mansion, he found that the main gate of Yang's Mansion was only about one foot wide, dark red, the most common fir door, and the plaque hanging in front of the door was also the most common. There is no extra pendant with half a word, just an old wooden plaque that looks very old, with two simple words "Yang's Mansion" written on it!
The main entrance of Yang's Mansion is incomparable with Li Ke's grand and magnificent Chu Palace, but Li Ke looked at the simple front door but did not dare to underestimate it in the slightest.

The Hongnong Yang family, a famous family through the ages, even if it is a thatched cottage in front of Li Ke, how dare he be slightly contemptuous.

"I am Cen Changqian, a writer from the Chu Palace. Please inform the master of your residence that His Royal Highness, the third prince of the Tang Dynasty, the King of Chu will pay a visit as scheduled." Outside the gate of Yang's Mansion, Cen Changqian handed the invitation card from the Chu Palace to the Zhikemen of Yang's Mansion, and cupped his hands.

Li Ke, the King of Chu, was coming, and this was known by members of the Yang family for a long time. He heard what Cen Changqian said, took the name card from Cen Changqian, ordered someone to open the door of the house, and said to Li Ke: "His Royal Highness and the two adults follow the younger ones." When you enter the mansion, wait for a while, and the master will arrive later."

"Thank you." Li Ke said his thanks, and followed the disciples of the Yang family into the mansion.

Although the Yang family is noble, but Li Ke is the current prince, even though he is here on behalf of his mother Concubine Yang, the whole Yang family dare not neglect in the slightest. As soon as Li Kefang entered the mansion, someone rushed to the mansion to tell the truth. .

Li Ke sat in the side hall for receiving guests for only a short while, then one year over sixty, an old man with gray beard and hair, but still in good spirits entered the side hall.

"Veteran Yang Gongren pays homage to Your Highness." Yang Gongren entered and bowed to Li Ke.

Although Yang Gongren became an official, he worshiped Li Shimin as a special advancer.

The so-called special promotion, the ranks of scattered officials, the official worship is the second rank, and only the special advancement is bestowed with merit and virtue, the rank is third, and the courtesy is like a prime minister.Therefore, although Yang Gongren resigned from office, he still has an official status and needs to meet with courtiers.

Yang Gongren is old, and Li Ke has the heart of wooing him, how could he ask Yang Gongren to pay a respectful visit.

Seeing this, Li Ke quickly stepped forward, helped Yang Gongren who was about to bow down, and said to Yang Gongren, "Don't be too polite, old man, please get up quickly."

Yang Gongren got up, looked at Li Ke, and smiled at Li Ke: "When the old minister saw His Highness, His Highness was still a child. When we meet now, His Highness is already a handsome young man."

In the ninth year of Wude, when Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, Yang Gongren resigned as the prime minister, was dismissed as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and was re-appointed as the governor of Yongzhou. He was the nominal chief official of most of Guanzhong.

However, Li Kewude went north as a hostage in nine years, Yang Gongren served in Zhenguan for three years, and Li Ke returned to Beijing in Zhenguan four years. Therefore, since Li Ke went north, Yang Gongren still saw Li Ke for the first time in the past seven years.

Li Ke said: "The old man is the elder of Li Ke's mother clan. He should have come to see him early, but the court affairs have been postponed until now. I hope the old man will not blame him."

Yang Gongren heard the words and hurriedly said: "Your Highness is serious. Your Highness has several positions. I am very grateful that you can take the opportunity of going south to see me, an old man who is unemployed."

Li Ke said with a smile: "The old duke is self-effacing. Although the old duke has retired, the old duke is the leader of the court. Now that the state affairs are busy, my father often mentions the old duke in front of Li Ke. I'm afraid my father Sooner or later, the old man will be summoned to discuss state affairs."

What Li Ke said was mostly flattery. After all, who could tell the truth from the fake, so could it be possible to ask Li Shimin?
Since Yang Gongren became an official in the third year of Zhenguan, although he has lived in Huayin for a long time and rarely showed up in Chang'an, his attention to the court has not diminished in the slightest.

Since Li Ke returned to Beijing in the fourth year of Zhenguan, he has never stopped paying attention to the third prince.He knew everything about Li Ke well. In his opinion, although Li Ke was young, he was not simple at all. When dealing with such a little fox, Yang Gongren would never be careless in the slightest.

Yang Gongren knew Li Ke's intentions when he came here, and he also knew what Li Ke meant, but he deliberately avoided the topic and said: "Thanks to your majesty's love, the old minister is now alone, and he is also an old man. asked."

Li Ke said: "The old man was valued by the emperors of the two dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, and he was cited as his arm. Don't you hear the saying that 'the old man is standing on the ground, and his ambition is a thousand miles', the old man has the ability to help the world and the people. Tang's loss, the world's loss, the common people's loss?"

Yang Gongren shook his head, and continued: "I'm already old, and I don't have the ambition of King Cao Wei, so I don't dare to ask more about the affairs of the court, but it is enough to have peace in my old age."

Yang Gongren's words were smooth and powerful, and Li Ke deliberately turned the topic to court affairs, but Yang Gongren refused to answer his words, which really made Li Ke a little helpless.

But since Yang Gongren refused to answer Li Ke's words, Li Ke had no choice but to talk to him.

Li Ke asked: "The old man is old and has retired to Huayin. Maybe he has no intention of intervening in the affairs of the court, but the old man will not ignore the affairs of the Yang family."

　I recently wrote about the Hongnong Yang family. These chapters are not very easy to write. In order to avoid being seen as a joke by experts, I would like to say that I searched for information on the Internet today. I searched for Yang’s family tree for more than two hours. The college entrance examination was not so good back then. Rigorous, it is not easy.
