Chapter 1284 The Yang family and the Xin family
Hearing that it was not Xia Houmao's own idea to flee Luoyang and come to Chang'an with his family.
Feng Da Sima nodded secretly.
This is the Xia Houmao in my impression.
With Xia Houmao's intelligence, it is absolutely impossible to come up with this step.
However, it is rare for him to listen to other people's opinions and make such a determination.
Feng Da Sima’s eyes fell on Yang Hu again, and at the same time, he gently tapped the table with his fingers:
“I didn’t expect Uncle Yang to be able to persuade General Xiahou to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. His vision and courage are rare in the world!”
Although Feng Da Sima's tone sounded admirable, Yang Hu still felt a little on pins and needles, and even sweated slightly on his forehead:
"Well, I dare not hide it from Da Sima. Although Hu suggested this matter, it was not Hu's idea."
"Oh?" Feng Da Sima's face finally showed a hint of surprise, and he looked at Yang Hu seriously.
Although he didn't speak, he sat up straight and seemed to be waiting for Yang Hu to continue speaking.
Yang Hu is quite famous in the east. Although he is a bit younger, it is normal for evildoers to appear in troubled times.
It's not like Feng Da Sima has never encountered monsters - such as Du Yu - it wouldn't be too surprising if Yang Hu falls into this category.
In the eyes of others, Feng Da Sima is the number one evildoer among evildoers, and is known as the King of Ghosts.
What Feng Guiwang didn't expect was that Yang Hu actually said that someone else had the idea.
At this time, Yang Hu's face looked slightly embarrassed:
"Actually, my aunt mentioned this matter casually when I was chatting with Hu about the future of my uncle's family. Hu thought about it again and again and felt that it made sense, so I decided to talk to my uncle about it."
"Uncle's...aunt?"
Feng Da Sima frowned subconsciously, who is Uncle Yang's aunt?
Trying to recall the information about Yang Hu.
The Taiyang family is one of the prominent families in Shandong and has inextricable marriage relationships with the Central Plains families. Naturally, it is also a key investigation target of the Han Dynasty.
If I remember correctly, Yang Hu's father, Yang Di, married Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Wenji's sister, Cai Zhenji.
In other words, Cai Wenji is Yang Hu's aunt.
Yang Di died early, so Yang Shuzi lost his father at an early age.
I was raised by my uncle Yangdan. I treat my uncle as my father and I am very respectful.
Hmm, so to speak, the aunt mentioned by Uncle Yang is most likely Yang Dan's wife.
With this memory clue, Feng Da Sima quickly remembered another married family of the Yang family - the Xin family.
Yang Dan, the uncle who raised Yang Hu, was married to the Xin family of Yingchuan, a wealthy family in the Central Plains.
Looking at Yang Hu, Feng Dashima asked one more question in order to avoid misunderstanding:
“The aunt my uncle mentioned is the Yangxin family?”
“Exactly.”
Um?
Um!
Feng Da Sima's eyes suddenly became sharp.
No other person, because the Xin family of Yingchuan came from the Xin family of Longxi.
Although the Xin family in Longxi is just a gimmick now.
After all, the Qianghu Rebellion in Liangzhou was almost a continuous bloodletting on the arteries of the Later Han Dynasty.
The entire Liangzhou has been in turmoil for a hundred years.
Coupled with the suppression of the Yongliang Group by the Kanto political group in the middle and late Later Han Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, no matter how developed the wealthy families in Liangzhou are, they can still only be called wealthy families and are not yet qualified to be compared with the aristocratic families in Guandong.
The Li family in Longxi is where most Li surnames come from. Isn’t it awesome?
Isn’t it still the same hard work that you have been doing for so many years?
If he hadn't taken the initiative to hug Mr. Feng's lap and stabbed his fellow Shu clan members in the back to prove their Taoist aspirations, Li Jian might still be lamenting whether the Li family's ancestral graves were buried properly.
The Xin family in Longxi fared even worse than the Li family in Longxi.
But I can’t stand the foresight of others.
Shortly after the founding of the Later Han Dynasty, the Xin family in Longxi moved part of the clan to Yangdi, Yingchuan.
During the Dong Zhuo chaos, the Xin family of Yingchuan first supported Yuan Shao, then took refuge with Cao Cao, and finally supported Cao Pi in the dispute over the heir establishment.
After being crowned the crown prince, Cao Pi was so proud that he hugged the neck of Xin Pi, the representative figure of the Xin family, and cried with joy.
This shows Cao Pi's trust in Xin Pi.
After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and ascended the throne, the Xin family of Yingchuan also became a prominent family.
Yang Hu’s aunt, the Yang Xin family (that is, Xin Xianying, a famous and talented daughter in history), you can say that she is the Yingchuan Xin family.
But if someone says that he is from the Xin family in Longxi, there is nothing wrong with him. After all, his ancestral home is Longxi.
Especially at this sensitive moment, Yang Xin and Yang Hu discussed the Xiahou family's way out.
Then Yang Hu not only relayed it to Xiahou Mao, but also persuaded Xiahou Mao. Yang Hu himself even escorted Xiahou Ba's wife to Chang'an.
Given the urinary nature of a wealthy family, if you want to say that all of this is unintentional or coincidental, you are questioning the intelligence of King Feng Gui.
Of course, King Feng Gui’s heart was filled with ups and downs, but his face remained calm and he nodded in approval:
“My uncle’s aunt, although she is a woman, can have such insight, she is like a woman, no less than a man!”
Yang Hu quickly thanked:
"My aunt once said that Da Sima's literary and military talents are rare in the world. She spoke highly of Da Sima. If she knew that she could be praised by Da Sima like this, she would be extremely happy."
“Oh?” Feng Dasima couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, there are female fans of his own far away in Pseudo-Wei.
And judging from the suggestion that Xiahou Mao flee to the west, it seems that she is still a woman with extraordinary knowledge.
This made Feng Da Sima a little more interested, but he saw him leaning forward slightly:
“From what I have seen in your uncle’s words and deeds, I have a lot of respect for your aunt. Listening to what your uncle said, her knowledge and vision are not as good as those of a man.”
"Since he can give Zilin advice on joining the Han Dynasty, he must have some opinions on the situation of the Han Dynasty and even the world?"
After all, who would dare to give such a suggestion to Xiahou without deep enough insights and assurance?
What?
You said that she only told Yang Hu in private and didn't expect that her nephew would be so loud and went to mention this matter to Xia Houmao?
Yang Hu is so famous at such a young age. Who would believe it if there is no support from the Yang family behind him?
The so-called repeated refusal to serve in official positions is just a means to build a reputation.
As a descendant of the Yang clan who was promoted with such great force, he now personally escorted Xiahou Ba's family members to Chang'an.
Feng Da Sima believed that Yang Hu was by no means the kind of incompetent person who spoke unabashedly and had no ambition.
At the same time, he did not believe that the Yang family and the Xin family had no knowledge of Yang Hu's actions.
So Feng Da Sima asked this kind of question, which seemed a bit strange on the surface - actually asking a woman's opinion on the situation.
But Yang Hu knew that Da Sima was testing the attitude of the Yang family and even the Xin family.
I saw him hesitate for a moment, and then he said:
“When you were a child, you heard something about your aunt.”
“Oh?” Feng Dashima became even more interested and asked, “What is it?”
After a pause, he continued:
"The prince is the one who represents the monarch, the ancestral temple and the country. The emperor cannot live without mourning, and the lord cannot live without fear. How can he be happy when it is appropriate to mourn? How can it last? Wei Qi is not prosperous!"
When Feng Da Sima heard Yang Hu’s words, he couldn’t help but give a high-five with a look of admiration on his face:
“I never expected that there would be such a wonderful woman in the world!”
Feng Dashima, who has a historical rearview mirror, naturally knows that Wei's national destiny is really short-lived.
But a woman actually concluded that "Wei Qi is not prosperous" based on Cao Pi's performance when he was first established as crown prince, which is indeed very powerful.
Feng Da Sima looked at Yang Hu again and asked meaningfully:
"Is it possible that my uncle also knows that Wei's national destiny will not last long, so he repeatedly refuses to invade Wei?"
Facing Feng Da Sima’s somewhat aggressive questions, Yang Hu only felt the pressure doubled.
If he had confidence in the state of Wei, he would naturally not be afraid of asking questions like this.
only…
Yang Hu knew very well that, not to mention himself, even the family behind him probably didn’t have much confidence in Wei.
Otherwise, why would he take such a big risk and make this trip?
I am afraid that Feng Da Sima is also well aware of this.
That's why it's so aggressive.
Alas, now the Wei Dynasty is in danger of splitting, and the state of Wu has shrunk to the south. Only the state of Han has strong national strength and sufficient military and food supplies.
Although I am very reluctant to admit it, the general trend of the world has indeed tilted towards Han.
“As Da Sima said, although my aunt is a woman, her knowledge and vision are not as good as those of a man.”
“Hu also knows that he dare not compare himself with his aunt, not to mention that he is young and has little knowledge. How can he dare to comment on his aunt’s words easily?”
Hearing this, Feng Da Sima burst into laughter.
This Uncle Yang has been emphasizing that he is young, not knowledgeable, has little knowledge, and does not answer questions directly.
But what he said inside and outside, he was always close to his uncle Yang Xin.
If you say it right, you will naturally make yourself happy.
If he accidentally made a mistake, it would be impossible for the dignified Feng Da Sima to blame a woman who was far away in Wei and had never met him before.
"Well, since my uncle is not willing to answer this question, then I will ask other questions."
Feng Da Sima did not force it. He understood Yang Hu's concerns.
After all, this is the first time the two of them have met.
Moreover, this time, Yang Hu came to express his gratitude, not to seek refuge.
If you rush to criticize the Wei State now and sing praises to the Han to show your loyalty, it will only make people look down on you.
When Yang Hu heard what Da Sima said, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Excuse me, Da Sima."
“In the current pseudo-Wei Dynasty, Sima Zhongda is in the north and Cao Zhaobo is in the south. I think who of the two is better?”
“Back to Da Sima, Hu’s aunt once said...”
Feng Da Sima, who was all smiles, could not help but twitching his mouth when he heard the first half of Yang Hu's sentence.
Where does this Yang Xin family come from so many opinions?
"My aunt once said: The affairs of the world cannot be known. The Taifu and the general were both entrusted by the late emperor to give instructions for future affairs. However, what they did was very different."
“The Taifu treats people as if they are his own, seeks talents as if they are not enough, praises the current customs, and maintains the same etiquette; a general does not do this.”
“He monopolizes power, acts arrogantly and extravagantly, is disloyal to the royal family, and is not upright to humanity. Therefore, the talents of a great general are not those of a Taifu.”
Feng Dashima asked again:
“In other words, my uncle’s aunt thinks more of Sima Zhongda but not Cao Zhaobo?”
Yang Hu hesitated again, and after a while, he said with some confusion:
"Sima Ziyuan, the son of Sima Zhongda, once intended to depose his stepmother Wu in order to marry Sister Hu. However, my aunt told my mother that Sima Ziyuan once married Xiahou's daughter, and Xiahou's daughter died unexpectedly."
"Now that I am seeking the daughter of the Yang family, I want to depose the Sima Wu family. This shows that she is a cruel and heartless person and is not a good match. Therefore, my mother rejected her because my sister is weak."
Now the division of Wei State has almost reached a fever pitch.
Sima Yi and Cao Shuang tried their best to win over the powerful families in Guandong.
The Wu family that Sima Shi married was originally the daughter of Wu Zhi.
Wu Zhi, together with Sima Yi, Chen Qun, and Zhu Shuo, are called Cao Pi's "four friends".
Obviously, when Sima Yi asked Sima Shi to marry the Wu family, he mainly focused on the character of "caring about old relationships".
To put it bluntly, I just want to win over the old ministers of Cao Wei.
Now in order to win over the powerful families, he is even willing to destroy his own character. Although his son is the scapegoat, it also shows the fierceness of the struggle in Wei.
Just among the big families in Guandong, which one is vegetarian?
Obviously, the Yang family and the Xin family are not optimistic about Sima Yi or Cao Shuang, but are optimistic about the enemy country.
At least I have the idea of investing in Dahan in advance.
Very in line with the urinary nature of a wealthy family.
This made Feng Dashima couldn't help laughing again:
“Although I have already said it before, I still can’t help but mention it again: My uncle’s vision for this aunt is extremely accurate!”
"If it weren't for her to stop her, your sister would have married someone who was not a good person at all. Looking at the Sima Master today, it is still a question of how much time he will have to live!"
Although Feng Da Sima's words were quite wild and wanton, Yang Hu showed an expression of approval and even some fear:
“What Da Sima said is absolutely true. If my sister had married her in the first place, I’m afraid you would have regretted it now!”
"This is exactly what your aunt said, the affairs of the world cannot be known."
Fengda Sima smiled and said, "Since my uncle has repeatedly refused to serve as an official in the puppet Wei Dynasty, and your sister has refused to marry Sima Shi, and she is not optimistic about Cao Shuang, what are your plans for the future? Do you intend to stay in the Han Dynasty?"
Yang Hu stood up quickly:
"Thank you so much, Grand Sima, for your kindness. Hu is here to **** my aunt, and to deliver a message to Longxi as entrusted by my aunt."
"Hu will have to return to Mount Tai then to report to his aunt. I'm afraid he won't be able to stay with the big man for a long time."
Feng Dashima nodded, not too disappointed.
Still, if the sheep is loyal on the spot, it will not only seem too anxious, but also drag down the Yang family behind him, and it will not be able to sell a good price.
As a big family in Shandong, how could the Yang family lower their status so easily and be shameless until the last moment?
Feng Da Sima is not in a hurry.
However, he still gave a kind reminder:
“After my uncle returns, he must be careful not to be hated by others.”
"The great Sima is worried that he is no more than a commoner with no official position. He travels between two places for the sake of relatives and filial piety, not for selfish desires. Even if there are laws and regulations, human relations must not be ignored."
Sima Feng nodded slightly and said no more.
The Yang family and the Xin family, if they can't even save Yang Hu, then they really can't be called aristocratic families.
Not to mention the current situation in Wei State, both the Sima family and Cao Shuang are only thinking about how to win over the major families at this time, so how can they possibly offend them?
What’s more, as Yang Hu said, he did this out of filial piety.
With Sima Yi's scheming, it is absolutely impossible for him to argue with Yang Hu for the sake of filial piety.
Isn't this giving away leverage to the opponent in vain?
Thinking about it this way, Yang Hu's trip to Chang'an may seem like a risk, but in fact he must have considered the pros and cons.
Feng Da Sima took a deep look at Yang Hu, and then turned his gaze to Xia Houmao, who was sitting there, listening silently, and never spoke.
