Chang'an, Yang Biao's birthday.

As the third prince of the dynasty, he was also a famous family and famous scholar in the world. Yang Biao's birthday was naturally very lively. Early in the morning, Yang Xiu organized this banquet. Now there are many prominent families in Chang'an City, not only Guanzhong scholars, but also Yingchuan and Nanyang scholars gathered here, which is very lively.

As Yang Biao's son, Yang Xiu, after some experience, has now treated people with less sharpness and more calmness, and has received a lot of decent appearance. He is quite decent and praised by many people.

"It is worthy of being named the four heroes of Chang'an in the past. Although Dezu was still young, he already had a bit of the celebrity's style based on his demeanor."

"Who said no, I am worthy of being a noble son of a famous family? Hey, after Dezu resigned, Baling was replaced by an unknown minor official. I think His Majesty is now unavailable!"

"Shhh, stop the sound, talk about Your Majesty, be careful of the disaster."

"Hmph! My great man has never been guilty of saying anything, and what he said just now comes from the heart. The emperor believed in slander and used his lewd and clever learning to defile the saint's learning. It is not a blessing in the world. It will cause disaster sooner or later!"

"The Zhongchang Guard is here!" A clear voice sounded at the door, and the people who were talking before were speechless in an instant.

Although the Zhongchang Shi Wei Zhong, although there is no real power, everyone knows that this person is a close servant around His Majesty. Although the first political order after Liu Xie took power was the queen. The concubines and palace servants were not allowed to interfere in politics, Wei Zhong was naturally listed here. However, many times, as Liu Xie's microphone, in some informal occasions, even if Wei Zhong is not of a high status, he can still represent the emperor. Although he is not as powerful as the tenth servants back then, no one in Chang'an City dares to really show his face to Wei Zhong.

"Xiu has met the Zhongchang Shi." As the main person in charge of the banquet, Wei Zhong came here, and it goes without saying that it also represents the emperor. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect. He stepped forward quickly, bowed slightly to Wei Zhong, and said with a smile.

"Mr. Yang is out of here. This time, when His Majesty heard that Mr. resigned and returned to the court, he asked more than once what was the reason." Wei Zhong's eyes swept across the scholars. Instead of being neither humble nor arrogant, he stayed by Liu Xie for the longest time. Although he always regarded himself as a slave in front of Liu Xie, he usually helped Liu Xie pass messages and represented Liu Xie, and he had some majesty. Unless the three masters and cavalry and other top figures in the court, ordinary officials, even famous scholars, were not qualified to bend him down.

"My father is old and has bad luck. He cultivates himself as a son and should accompany him, but he has failed His Majesty's kindness of knowing his majesty." Yang Xiu said with a smile.

"Your Majesty also heard that the Taifu was not feeling well. He ordered people to travel thousands of miles to find two old ginseng from Kunlun. It happened to be the birthday of the Taifu. He specially ordered the palace to send it to the Taifu to take care of the Taifu." Wei Zhong waved his hand, and his subordinate guard came up with a tray, took a brocade box from it, and handed it to Yang Xiudao.

"Your Majesty is worried, Xiu thanks Your Majesty for your love on behalf of your father." Yang Xiu quickly bowed and took it, handed it to the servant beside him, and smiled at Wei Zhong and said, "The Central General Assistant will wait a moment, and the banquet will be held later. It just so happened that you and I haven't seen each other for many years. Drink a glass of water and wine before leaving."

"I still have official duties in my palace, so I won't stay much, let alone..." Wei Zhong glanced at the guests in the hall and smiled: "A eunuch in my palace will inevitably disturb the elegant delight of all the great men. Your Majesty also has a pair of doors. Your Majesty personally wrote to celebrate the birthday of the Grand Tutor. Your Majesty said that although he did not enter the grand ceremony, he would like to celebrate the joy of the people and asked me to give it to you."

When Yang Xiu heard this, he raised his eyebrows. Is it true that the emperor wants to use a pair of people to warn his father?

While they were just worried, they saw two guards holding a pair of Men Ying in, making them with high-quality sandalwood, with fine carvings, and they were made by master craftsmen of the Ministry of Works. When a group of scholars heard this, they couldn't help but look at Men Ying curiously. What they thought was probably similar to Yang Xiu, thinking that Liu Xie was going to use this pair of Men Ying to attack the game. They couldn't help but look over with excitement.

"Blessings are as good as the flowing water in the East China Sea, and longevity is as good as the pine trees in the South Mountains." Some people couldn't help but recite it.

It is indeed not a good place, but a very ordinary door. There are all well-educated people here. Such door is naturally not seen by them and they are a little confused for a moment. This meaning is easy to understand. It is just a sentence that wishes you a blessing for a long time. Although it is novel, it is nothing. But what does the meaning of sending such a door to your Majesty?

They sent old ginseng and blessings again. No matter how you look at it, they were just ordinary congratulations, but everyone knew that the palace in Chang'an had been surrounded by scholars for two months. It would be a lie to say that the emperor was not angry at all. At first, when Wei Zhong arrived, these scholars were ready to give a long speech and prepare to welcome the emperor's questioning. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhong came, and he did not attack as they imagined.

This attitude made a group of scholars feel anxious. What does the emperor mean?

"The things have been delivered, so I won't disturb you all the good deeds." Wei Zhong smiled and bowed slightly to Yang Xiu.

"Let's go slowly." Yang Xiu nodded, gave a greeting, and watched Wei Zhong and his group leave.

"This... Dezu, the emperor sent someone to send these, what is the intention?" An old man frowned and looked at the two gifts, puzzled.

"Your Majesty's thoughts, how can we speculate?" Yang Xiu smiled slightly: "But you need to tell your father about this matter. Now, Xiu will lose his companion first."

"Well, it's time to ask the Grand Tutor for advice." The old man quickly gave way and said.

Yang Xiu ordered people to hang the plaque on the door. After all, it was given by the emperor. No matter what, it was a kind intention and could not be neglected.

At this moment, Yang Xiu greeted others all the way, but his feet kept walking quickly into the back hall.

In the study, Yang Biao sat on his rattan chair, frowned, looked at a list on the table in front of him, and pondered without saying a word.

"You mean, these people are all from the martial arts lecture hall?" After a long time, Yang Biao looked at the list placed on the table, and his tone was quite dull.

"Not bad." The person opposite him was Sima Fang, the current Jingzhao Yin, nodded and said when he heard this: "Shortly after Dezu and others resigned, these people were quickly assigned to the court."

"What are the political achievements?" Yang Biao narrowed his eyes. When the new official took office, he was at this time. There was almost no need to ask more questions. Local tyrants may not believe these new officials. It is inevitable that they will be slandered and secretly disobeyed people.

He looked at Yang Biao with a wry smile, and Sima Fang said, "The Tingwei and the Secret Guards joined forces to go out. The local tyrants did not even have time to attack, so they punished several tyrants without hesitation. These people are also quite capable. Now, under the governance of these people, there is no chaos in the counties, and even the official voice is quite good. I secretly sent people to investigate afterwards, and only then did I find that these people are all from the martial arts lecture hall."

"What about Nanyang?" Yang Biao took a fierce breath and frowned.

After the reign of Liu Xie in Guanzhong, the power of the Tingwei and Hu Benwei has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Such a result will be achieved. Although it is unexpected, it is also somewhat prepared. However, Nanyang is different. The power of the aristocratic families there is even more than that of Chang'an. In addition, it is a newly established place, so it is impossible to be as peaceful as Guanzhong.

"Something turmoil happened." At this point, Sima Fang sighed: "But it was not too big, and it was stopped soon."

"Why is this!" Yang Biao said in confusion.

"One, Xiahou Lan's cruel official was vicious and killed more than 30 heads in succession last month. One of them was Kang Ping, the head of the Kang family in Yuyang. More than 30 heads fell to the ground. In addition, several families led by the Cen family seemed to have chosen to support Your Majesty, so... Nanyang is not in chaos!"

Yang Biao couldn't help but feel silent when he heard this. Even the Nanyang place was suppressed. There was no need to ask about the remaining Xiliang, Hetao and Luoyang places. The aristocratic families in these places were not strong and could not resist the power of the Tingwei and the Hu Benwei.

After a long time, Yang Biao sighed: "Your Majesty first established the Hu Ben Guard, but later he directly appointed the Tingwei without any discussion. He thought he was already smart. Now, he realized that these two parts were clearly specifically targeting my aristocratic family. The martial arts lecture hall, haha... It was just to deal with today's situation, called the place to cultivate military generals, but it was a place where Your Majesty secretly dealt with us. If he had known today, he would not have been tolerant at the beginning!"

Sima Fang nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that Yuan Chang has said it more than once, but we have never believed it. Now it seems that Yuan Chang is still far-sighted."

Yang Biao couldn't help but feel silent when he heard this, and the study room was in a state of depression.

"Father!" Yang Xiu's voice sounded outside the door, breaking the dullness in the room.

"Come in." Yang Biao exhaled and looked at the outsider.

Yang Xiu pushed the door open and entered.

Yang Biao forced a smile and said, "My son is not in the front hall to entertain guests, but what's wrong with coming here?"

"Your Majesty just sent Wei Zhong to come." Yang Xiu bowed.

"Oh?" Yang Biao's face looked happy: "Why did it come from?"

"Congratulations on my father's birthday." Yang Xiu said with a strange expression: "I sent two old ginseng to nourish my father's body, and there was also a pair of doors."

"Men Ying?" Yang Biao and Sima Fang looked at each other and hurriedly said, "Let's say it's from me."

"Here." Yang Xiu nodded and said the content on Men Ying.

"Uh~" After hearing this, the two looked at each other.

"What is the deep meaning of Your Majesty's words?" Sima Fang looked at Yang Biao in confusion.

"Just just for congratulations." Yang Biao smiled bitterly and looked at Yang Xiu: "Let's go to entertain guests, and I'll go later for my father."

Yang Xiu did not leave after hearing this, and a look of hesitation flashed across his face.

"What else does my son have?" Yang Biao couldn't help frowning when he saw this.

"It was the friends who were staying in Baling who had sent some news before." Yang Xiu bowed.

"What's the news?"

"Some small vendors have recently opened bookstores in Jingzhao and even in the entire Guanzhong county. The scale is not large, and there are only forty or fifty copies for sale a day, but there are quite a lot of them. And there are more and more small shops like this recently."
