Chapter 1317 Visit (2)(2/2)
"I will never forget my late father's last wish. Although I can't see my uncle Mingwen in person, if I can talk about my uncle's affairs in front of my late father's tomb, I think I can remember my late father a little while under the yellow soil."
After saying this, he bowed deeply again.
At this point, Yang Hu no longer had any reason to refuse:
"Your Highness's heart of pure filial piety moves heaven and earth. How dare you disobey your orders?"
When Cao Zhi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed:
"Thank you uncle, please, please, please come inside!"
Following the King of Jibei, he stepped into the door, but saw that the front yard was overgrown with grass, dead branches and leaves covered the yard, and there was only a small path leading to the front.
Probably knowing that the scene in front of him was quite rude, the King of Jibei explained with some embarrassment:
"I haven't had any guests for a long time, and most of the people in my house are old, weak, sick and disabled. Alas, I'm not afraid of my uncle's jokes. I bear the title of King of Jibei for nothing. I'm afraid I can't even live an ordinary life like this."
No one else can compare to it.”
This is not easy to say.
To say it is comfortable, it is definitely uncomfortable.
After all, the clan system of the Wei Dynasty is there.
But if you want to live a good life, you can at least have enough food and clothing, which is much better than ordinary people.
"Clang!"
Something was kicked under my feet.
When he looked down, he saw that it was the jug that King Jibei had thrown away.
The body of the pot is slender. At first glance, the style is quite exquisite. The surface is smooth and white, so Yang Hu immediately recognized that this was a high-quality porcelain pot unique to the Han Dynasty.
Very expensive!
Look at the fallen grass and leaves in this courtyard, and then look at the precious porcelain pot lying quietly among the fallen grass and leaves, it even smells of wine.
As soon as you smell it, you know it’s a fine wine!
Yang Hu's eyes were calm.
Cao Zhigan laughed:
"Uncle, I don't know. In my house, many of my subordinates are Jia Shu. They don't know much about anything else. They are the only ones who know how to do dirty things like traders."
"In addition, before my father was alive, he sent servants to exchange greetings with Uncle Mingwen. Therefore, I have inherited my father's legacy and have some connections in the west. I can occasionally exchange for some fine wine..."
Yang Hu:……
Yang Hu didn't stay in the Prince's Mansion of Jibei for long. He just told the Prince of Jibei about his meeting with Mr. Feng.
The King of Jibei didn't ask any more questions. He only asked about Feng's appearance and his words and deeds when he handed the letter to Yang Hu.
But after coming out of Jibei Prince's Mansion, Yang Hu's originally worried mood not only did not dissipate, but became even heavier.
Before leaving, he looked back at the dilapidated Jibei Prince's Mansion, but in his mind, the wine pot in the courtyard and the various Han utensils and objects seen in the Jibei Prince's Mansion came to mind.
This dilapidated palace not only slapped the face of King Jibei, but also slapped the face of Wei Dynasty.
The direct grandson of Emperor Wu not only took great pride in food and clothing passed down from the Han Dynasty, he even called the leader of the Han Dynasty thieves "uncle" in a very affectionate tone.
It is truly the greatest irony in the world.
(Note: In the original history, Cao Zhi not only took the initiative to join the Sima clan, but also probably made suggestions for Sima Yan to usurp the Wei Dynasty:
After Sima Yan went to Yecheng to welcome Cao Huan, Duke of Changdao Township, on his ascension to the throne, Cao Zhi paid homage to Sima Yan at night. The two talked from dusk to dawn the next day. After their conversation, Sima Yan trusted and valued Cao Zhi very much.)
Logically speaking, for this kind of person, in the past, Yang Hu would have said too much to him.
But at this time, he could only let out a long and heavy sigh.
Not to mention the Prince of Jibei, all the people in the Wei Dynasty who had some channels, from top to bottom, were not eager for those unique things of the Han Dynasty?
As for communicating with the people of Han... What did I go to Chang'an for a few months ago?
If you are still like this, how can you have the face to criticize others?
Thinking of this, Yang Hu sighed again.
With such a mood, Yang Hu left Jibei Kingdom and returned to his home in Taishan County, feeling depressed all day long.
His sister Yang Huiyu was smart and talented. When she saw that her brother was depressed for many days and often sighed alone, she couldn't help but be concerned and asked why.
Yang Hu then told Yang Huiyu what he had encountered in detail, and then sighed:
"Sister, when I went to Chang'an, I couldn't carry out the family's orders; when I went to the Prince's Palace in Jibei, I didn't dare to tell His Highness his mistakes; I was worried about the long-term shortcomings of the Wei Dynasty, but I didn't know how to save it; I was worried about the future of the Yang family, but I didn't know how to protect it.
Therefore, my heart is filled with sorrow, alas!"
Who would have expected that after Yang Huiyu heard this, instead of comforting him, he scolded him:
"Our Taiyang family has been a big family for nine generations. Our ancestors have relied on their virtues and talents to grow their families. I have never heard of them relying on others."
"If you fail to go to Chang'an, you should reflect on the shortcomings of your moral character and talents, and work on it more, instead of feeling sorry for yourself like you are now."
"Looking at the world today, Han is strong and Wei is weak. The strong are kings and ministers, and they are getting stronger and stronger. The weak do not want to unite, but fight for power. Even though I am a woman, I know that it is difficult for Wei to survive!"
Whether it was Sima Shi or Cao Shuang, she was not optimistic about it. Otherwise, why would she reject Sima Shi's marriage proposal?
"If you want to have great ambitions, you should look at the world and follow the general trend of the world, instead of holding on to your shortcomings and going against the current."
Although the Yang family became prominent in the Later Han Dynasty, when Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty, didn't they still follow the natural times?
If Liu Han really wanted Sanxing, would he have changed the imperial examination system just because the children of aristocratic families were unwilling to work hard?
By then, the families that opposed the imperial examinations may have declined or even died out.
The Han Dynasty showed no mercy to the right-wing people.
It is foolish to protect a country that is not worth protecting.
If you want to revitalize your family, you should put your family first, not your own likes and dislikes.
"If you don't want to serve the Han Dynasty, then you should maintain the status quo, serve neither Wei nor Han, concentrate on learning, and pay less attention to worldly affairs."
"In this way, if there is a great turmoil in the future, wouldn't it be okay to live away from the world and use your knowledge and reputation as a way to protect yourself?"
"Think about Feng Mingwen, who is talented in literature and invincible in martial arts. Could it be that he is a villain who will seek revenge? Will he deliberately target our Yang clan because of your rejection?"
"The Road to Shu Is Difficult", "Childhood Sweethearts", "The Road to Han Dynasty"...
Either an immortal views the world, or his love is as deep as the sea, or his ambition is like a flying wing.
How can someone who can write these peerless articles be a villain?
