Chapter 147 Yang Fu's Family Letter

A family letter is a letter between family members.

This distance from Bianliang City to Liuzhou is not very close. Therefore, there are a lot of letters from home. Mrs. She wrote three letters herself, one for Yang Bamei, Yang Jiumei and Yang Paifeng; one for Mu Guiying and Yang Zongbao; and one for Yang Zongfeng and Yang Zongying. There are also letters from three mothers to their three sons. Of course, there is also a daughter-in-law in the letter from Lord Chai. Finally, it was written by Huang Fengxian and Jiang Cuiping to their husbands.

And when everyone read the letter in the hall, the little Yang Wenguang was still a little unhappy. Because there are so many letters that they are not given to him, he is a little smelly. This made several women in the hall laugh and cry. Finally, Mu Guiying took advantage of Yang Paifeng to coax Yang Wenguang and secretly returned to the room to write a letter to make her son smile. After coaxing Yang Wenguang, Mu Guicai calmed down to read the letter written by Mrs. She to her and Yang Zongbao.

Unexpectedly, after Mu Guiying finished reading the letter, his face was a little strange and she lowered her head and was thinking about something. Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei were being known about their son by Yang Zongfeng. When they excitedly pulled them to quarrel, they found Mu Guiying's strange color.

Just as Yang Bamei asked, Jiang De and He Qing came back. Seeing this, Mu Guiying did not wait for Yang Zongbao, so he told what Mrs. She mentioned in the letter. Therefore, even Yang Zongfeng, who couldn't close his mouth, calmed down.

In the evening, Yang Zongbao returned to the Shuai Mansion and found that the atmosphere in the house was very different. In normal times, Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei will definitely tease Yang Wenguang in the living room. Others will sit aside and chat, waiting for dinner. But at this time, except for Yang Paifeng and Yang Wenguang playing in the yard, the rest of the people sat quietly, as if they were thinking about something.

When I thought of the sunrise, I seemed to hear Bian Liangcheng coming home. Yang Zongfeng entrusted the task of notifying Yang Zongying to Jiang De and He Qing, and then returned to the Shuai Mansion. What happened to Tianbo Mansion? Thinking of this, Yang Zongbao looked at Mu Guiying, who was thinking about something and asked, "Guiying, is there something wrong with your family again?"

"It's not at home, it's facing the middle." Mu Guiying's expression was a little strange, and she said strangely, "There is good news, a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Uh, whatever." Yang Zongbao saw that Mu Guiying did not seem to be nervous at all, and his heart was relaxed. Yang Zongbao can be said to know Mu Guiying very well. Since Mu Guiying speaks so easily, it's not a big deal.

"Then let's talk about the good news first." Mu Guiying raised her eyebrows and said easily, "The emperor has agreed to install all the cottages on Guangnan West Road."

Really? That's really good news." Yang Zongbao, who had just sat down, stood up again in surprise by the news.

To be honest, Yang Zongbao is really not sure whether Zhao Heng agrees with the matter of Zhao'an. Therefore, as soon as he heard the news, Yang Zongbao's joy could come from the bottom of his heart. However, after all, he is also a grand marshal, and Yang Zongbao still has some self-control.

Seeing Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei looking at him with a smile, they seemed to be ready to see some jokes. Yang Zongbao coughed quickly, sat down slowly, and asked, "What's the bad news?"

"The bad news is that the people sent by officials to supervise this special army are Ding Pu." Mu Guiying looked at Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei with calm faces and said, "Moreover, the officials also sent a comforter, Qian Weiyan."

"Why are these two people?" Yang Zongbao frowned slightly and secretly looked at Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei.

By the saying, since Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei went south and came to Yang Zongbao's rebel army, the two sisters have not said anything to him. But Yang Zongbao can still feel that something must have happened to Tianbo Mansion in Bianliang City. It was not until Mu Guiying's arrival that Yang Zongbao knew that the Yang family and Ding had feuded because of Ding Pu. Moreover, this hatred is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no possibility of reconciliation at all.

As for Qian Weiyan, although Yang Zongbao has never been in contact with it, he has heard a lot from the Eight Princes. It is true that Qian Wei's performance is very literary, but his character is very disgraceful. This man is not only attracted to the person who is bigger than him, but also the wall grass that sees the wind and rudder.

In recent years, it is because Ding Pu, Ding Yu's son, has become Qian Weiyan's uncle. Qian Weiyan and Ding Yu are very close. It can be said that as long as Ding Yu has any proposal in the court, Qian Weiyan will definitely come out and agree with it first. The last time Mu Guiying confronted Ding Yu in the palace, Qian Weiyan did not stand up, because of his nature.

There was a war on Guangnan West Road this time, and the court sent comforters as a matter of course. But the power to appease the envoy is also not small, but Zhao Heng let Qian Weiyan take office, and Yang Zongbao didn't understand. Mu Guiying seemed to see Yang Zongbao's doubts and said, "Before I went south, although Qian Weiyan was only a scholar of Hanlin University, after that, the official family became a minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies because he wrote an article for Taishan Fengchan. After that, Ding didn't use any methods. Qian Weiyan is now the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

"No wonder that's it." Yang Zongbao nodded, but thought of Ding Pu and said, "So Ding Pu is also favored by officials?"

As soon as she said Ding Pu, Yang Jiumei was the first to curl her lips, and Yang Bamei, who became more and more indifferent, also frowned slightly, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes. Yang Zongfeng, Jiang De and He Qing were even more disdainful and almost spit on the ground.

Mu Guiying wanted to laugh when she saw this scene, but she was still a little melancholy. To be honest, Mu Guiying also disdains Ding Pu. After the conflict with Ding Pu, Mu Guiying specifically inquired about Ding Pu. To be honest, Ding Pu doesn't look like Ding's son at all except for his appearance.

Ding said that although he likes to flatter Zhao Heng and is treacherous, he is indeed a person with ability. From a small household judge to today's secret envoy, Ding said that if he didn't have any means, how could he reach such a height? But his son Ding Pu is a vain 'second generation of officials'.

It may also be the reason why Ding is called this father. Ding Pu is very arrogant. Otherwise, he would not laugh at the 'Yang family general' who despised the most respected people of the Song Dynasty in front of the guests in the restaurant. Moreover, since that incident, Ding Pu's character has still not been restrained. This made Ding Wei very angry, so he gave Ding Pu a small official position to restrain him.

"Ding Pu performed outstandingly through Ding's actions. In just half a month, he entered the Privy Council from the Military Department. After that, when the officials held the court meeting, they asked the ministers to discuss the recruitment of peace, and Ding said that Ding Pu was pushed out. Mu Guiying raised the thick letter in Yang's hand and smiled secretly. The eight princes and Kou prepared in detail. I should have waited for Qian Weiyan to arrive before reading the news that Yang Zongbao and others knew about the imperial edict. The Eighth Prince and Kou Zhun didn't know what they were thinking, so they were all written by Mrs. She in their family book.

After discussion by the ministers, all the cottages in Guangnan West Road became an army of their own. Wang Lanying served as the general of this army, and Ding Pu served as his deputy. On the surface, this counselor also means a staff officer. But for this special army, Ding Pu represents the court and restrains them. And if Wang Lanying wants to mobilize the army, she must go through the knowledge and record of Ding Pu. It can be said that Dingpu's position is very important.

Therefore, Yang Zongfeng, He Qing and Jiang De are very unconvinced about Zhao Heng's appointment of Ding Pu as this councilor. Even Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei think that Zhao Heng's appointment is too childlike. In case Dingpu's arrogance provokes those copycats, has a rebellious mentality, and then goes back to do copycats, and may even reverse Feng Tong, then everything Mu Guiying did before will become 'useless work'.

The more he thought about it, the deeper Yang Zongbao's face became. For Yang Zongbao, the people of Jiuzhai in Kyushu are one of the important forces to eliminate the southern country. It is because they are locals and familiar with the geography and weather of Guangnan West Road that they can make the rebel army suffer less. Moreover, these people are mixed with fish and dragons. Maybe one of them has the ability to sneak into Yizhou City to find out the news. If their help is lost, it is even more difficult for the rebel army to succeed in suppressing the rebellion.

"No, I want to ask the emperor for an order. It's not appropriate for Ding Pu to be a counselor." Yang Zongbao got up and wanted to go to the study to write a memorial. But as soon as he took a step, Mu Guiying stood in front of him and said andly, "You're anxious, I know, but you shouldn't be anxious. We now know this, which can be known from the family letter--"

With Mu Guiying's long voice, the people in the hall reacted, and this matter is really not urgent. After Ding Pu arrived here and made any mistakes, Yang Zongbao had to make an excuse to propose a replacement to Zhao Heng. Besides, the Eight Princes and Kou Zhun in Bianliang City are all comparable to Ding. Since Ding Pu has been appointed, it means that the two did not let Zhao Heng change his mind at all. Since the king of a country does not believe in Ding Pu, Yang Zongbao asked for an order before Ding Pu arrived in Liuzhou. What did Zhao Heng think?

"Is it really necessary for the emperor to change his mind?" Yang Zongbao also understood the truth, but he was extremely uncomfortable. It seems that at that moment, Yang Zong retained the idea of living in seclusion and living his own life like Yang Silang. But when he thought of Mrs. She, who had high expectations for him, Yang Zongbao immediately gave up that idea.

Mu Guiying didn't know that there were so many changes in Yang Zongbao's heart. After thinking about it, she said, "Well, I'll go to Tonggu Village again to say hello to the sister of the Wang family and let those owners be on guard against Ding Pu."

"Gui Ying, your stomach is almost seven months old. Don't run around. I'd better go there with Jiumei." Yang Bamei got up and walked to Mu Guiying. In her faint tone, there was a heartfelt care: "After hearing you say about Wang Lanying, Jiumei and I both want to see her. So, let's go for you this time..."
