After hearing Yang Hu's words, Xia Houwei finally got the answer to the doubts he had always had in his heart.

He couldn't help but sit up straight and solemnly, and asked again:

"In other words, you Taiyang Clan really don't like the general? Could it be that you like the Taifu?"

The current representative of the Taiyang family is Yangdan, who is also the uncle of Uncle Yang.

In addition, Uncle Yang is not very old, so naturally he cannot represent the Taiyang family.

But Uncle Yang will definitely be a rare talent in the Yang family in the future.

His final choice at least revealed part of Yang's true views.

If we say that Uncle Yang refused the prefecture's conquest of remote areas in the past two years, he was still building momentum.

Well, now that we have reached the age of becoming an official, and the general is personally conquering the country, he should agree anyway.

If not, if you go higher up, you will be called by the emperor.

The question is, how old is the emperor now?

It can be said that the general's conquest of remote areas was actually the highest-level conquest of remote areas in the Wei Dynasty.

Who would have thought that Uncle Yang still refused.

According to the family's multi-party betting style, Yang Hu's approach is very unreasonable.

In addition, although what Yang Hu just said was a paraphrase of what his aunt said, it may not necessarily be the internal view of the Yang family, at least part of it.

After excluding all possibilities, there is only one conclusion: Yang really does not think highly of the general.

If it were another family, it wouldn't matter. If you really believe in the Yang family's vision, the worst case scenario would be the same as the Yang family, just let the younger generations wait and see.

But the Xiahou family is different.

Because Xiahou Taichu is the cousin of the general, he is really planning to go to Xuchang to serve the general.

The Yang family's choice is really bad news for the current Xiahou family.

Actually, Xiahou Taichu was originally the Taifu's in-law, but... alas!

Xia Houwei's thoughts turned over and over again, and his face began to become cloudy and uncertain.

Yang Hu saw his expression and knew that the other party might be thinking too much, so he quickly waved his hand and clarified:

"The major events in the clan cannot be known by Hu. What Hu says is just his opinion."

He really didn't know.

Because now, he is not qualified to participate in the decision-making within the Yang clan.

Precisely because he could not represent the Yang family, he went in and out of his uncle's house without any worries.

Xia Houwei fell silent.

After a while he sighed:

"Think of me, the Xiahou family. It has been more than four hundred years since the time of Taipu Gong (that is, Xiahou Ying of the Western Han Dynasty). I never thought that I would end up like this. I am in a dilemma, and I am trapped in both front and rear."

Yang Hu was quite close to Xia Houwei, otherwise he would not have married Xiahou Ba's daughter with Xia Houwei's help.

Seeing that Xia Houwei, who had always been bold and forthright at this time, was actually a bit heroic and short of breath, Yang Hu couldn't bear it and consoled him:

"Lao Tzu once said: Misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and blessing lies on the back of misfortune. Blessings and misfortunes in the world depend on each other. The misfortune of the past may not be the blessing of today, and the blessing of today may not be the misfortune of the future. "

"Whether it's a blessing or a curse only depends on human ears. Why should my fourth uncle be embarrassed by temporary difficulties?"

"Huh?" After hearing what he said, Xia Houwei always felt that there was something in it. He looked at Yang Hu and said, "Uncle, there are no outsiders here. You might as well speak more clearly."

Now that he had spoken out, Yang Hu didn't want to be secretive, but still gave Xia Houwei a warning:

"My fourth uncle, Hu is still young. What you say below are just Hu's selfish thoughts. If there is any conflict, please don't blame me."

Xia Houwei smiled and said:

"You yourself said that you are the half-son of the second brother. In my heart, you are already one of my own, so why should I worry? But please just say it."

Yang Hu pondered for a moment, as if he was trying to find words, and then said:

"Although my aunt is a girl, her knowledge has always been extraordinary. You regard her as your mother. Since she has such an evaluation of the general, you must not worry about it."

"Therefore, Hu repeatedly refused to conquer remote areas and came to Luoyang just to see if the Taifu could be the pillar of the Wei Dynasty."

When Xia Houwei heard this, his heart suddenly became cold:

really!

Compared to the general, Uncle Yang seems to be more optimistic about the Taifu?

Thinking this, Xia Houwei asked:

"My uncle has been in Luoyang for a long time. What might he have seen?"

"As my aunt said, the Taifu is a veteran minister of the four dynasties and an auxiliary minister of the two dynasties. There is no one in the great Wei court whose reputation is as great as that of the Taifu."

Yang Hu chose his words carefully, "In addition, what the general has done since the death of the late emperor has made many important officials in the court think that the general is far inferior to the Taifu."

Xia Houwei was silent.

As an in-law of the Cao family, the Xiahou family was naturally close to the general.

But what the general has done in the past two years is indeed disappointing.

"If there is only the Wei Dynasty in the world," Yang Hu said, he raised his head and glanced at Xia Houwei, "from Hu's point of view, it would be better to choose a Taifu than a general."

Although he had expected the other party's choice, Xia Houwei still couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed when he heard the other party say it himself.

Although Yang Hu cannot represent the Taiyang family, it can be seen more or less that the Guandong family is probably...

Just when he thought of this, Xia Houwei suddenly came back to his senses: "Hmm? Yeah!"

I saw that he was a little embarrassed and almost couldn't help but want to stand up: "Uncle, what do you mean by this!"

Yang Hu did not answer immediately, but looked around and talked about another unrelated topic:

"As far as Hu knows, when General Zhendong (i.e. Xiahou Mao, who was transferred to Qingxu by Cao Rui as General Zhendong after the Battle of Longyou) suppressed Qingxu, he sold wool materials and brocade forgings from Shu in Guandong. . ”

"A few days ago, the tribe sent someone to visit General Zhendong. They said that the woolen materials from previous years were worn out and they wanted to buy a new batch..."

Hearing this, Xia Houwei couldn't bear it anymore and got up suddenly.

But I saw that his body was trembling slightly, his face was full of anger, his teeth were chattering, but the emotions he was full of could not be expressed.

The rumor that caravan exchanges between Luoyang and Guanzhong have resumed is actually not hearsay.

Because Xiahou Wei knew that the person who sent the caravan to Guanzhong had his elder brother Xiahou Mao.

The caravans sent out by these families must be doing business, but if they can really explore the route in advance, it is probably just a matter of convenience.

They are all big families that have been together for hundreds of years, and who doesn’t know who the other is?

Xia Houwei opened his mouth, but in the end no sound came out because he didn't know what to say.

After a long time, he closed his eyes, sat back in pain, and murmured:

"Da Wei, why did you become like this?"

Although these families do not represent all the Guandong aristocratic families, they at least mean that some people are thinking of changing!

After all, the aristocratic family is the most fickle.

People's hearts have been scattered!

Seeing Xia Houwei's appearance, Yang Hu sighed and pointed out a fact that many people were unwilling to face:

"Uncle Fourth, this is because the world has changed! Today's world is no longer the way it was when Emperor Wu was around."

In fact, even if strong enemies are suppressing the territory, as long as the monarchs and ministers of the Wei Dynasty are united, even with the current foundation of the Wei Dynasty, there may not be no hope.

If you don’t believe me, take a look at the Kingdom of Shu?

At that time, there was only one state in the country, but two generations of monarchs and ministers were still able to work hard. How many people's hearts were united by the phrase "reviving the Han Dynasty and returning it to the old capital"?

It is a pity that at this time, Cao himself seems to have not yet thought about managing the Wei Dynasty well.

In times of crisis, a young leader is appointed, and when the country is unstable, he has to rely on his parents.

How much confidence can such a great Wei bring to the world?

It's not that there are no loyal ministers in the Wei Dynasty now. On the contrary, there are still many people in the Wei Dynasty. I hope that the Taifu can stand up and stabilize the overall situation.

However, you cannot expect everyone to continue to be loyal ministers to Wei without any hesitation.

Xia Houwei opened his eyes and looked straight at Yang Hu:

"So, you Yang family didn't actually think about siding with the Taifu?"

Yang Hu smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"Fourth Uncle, I have said that these words are just Hu's selfish thoughts. As for what the clan thinks, Hu cannot know."

Xia Houwei pressed forward step by step: "So personally, do you think you are not optimistic about Wei?"

"My fourth uncle, Hu has not yet become an official. Is it important whether he thinks highly of the Wei Dynasty? Instead of thinking about these unimportant things, it is better to find a way to take good care of my uncle."
