In May of the ninth year of Wude.
Outside Chang 'an City.
Yangxing Village.
The sixteen-year-old Yang Hao stood in the barren field, looking at the small piece of land in his house with a dull expression. He had not recovered from the reality of transmigration for a long time.
He was a history graduate student.
At night, he went out to the convenience store to buy a cup of instant noodles. On the way back, he suddenly fainted. When he woke up again, he had actually transmigrated back to the Great Tang.
"Fifth month of the ninth year of Wude…"
"The Black Tortoise Sect is about to change."
Yang Hao muttered to himself. According to the trajectory of history, after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Er would ascend the throne and then begin the Zhenguan reign.
"If only I could get involved."
Yang Hao crouched down and looked up at the sky, biting his nails as he thought about his future in the Great Tang.
If he had a system or something, it would be fine.
However, there was no such thing now. To be precise, it seemed that the system had not received the payment. When he woke up, he vaguely heard the words "triggering a special event will activate the ability" in his ear. He did not know if it was an illusion or if it was true.
Now, he was a native of Yangxing Village. His family had three acres of land and a father who could read and write. He had nothing else.
In ancient times, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants were very particular. Yang Hao felt that with his own ability, he had to get an official robe to wear. This was the responsibility of the knowledge he had learned back then!
But how?
This was a problem!
"This little Langjun."
Suddenly, a slightly aged voice with a hint of confusion said,""Why are you squatting on the ground with a frown? Is there something on your mind?"
Yang Hao raised his head.
An old man with a purple hairstyle and a slightly hunched back was looking at him curiously with three unconcealable wrinkles on his head.
"Aren't you also frowning?"
Yang Hao slowly stood up and nudged his chin at the old man's brows." Your brows are so thick that they can squeeze a fly to death. Looking at you, you must be worried about something, right?”
The old man sized up Yang Hao with interest and said,""I didn't expect you to know how to read physiognomy. Then tell me, what is this old man worrying about?”
Yang Hao looked at the old man and saw that the brocade he was wearing was extraordinary. He muttered,"You shouldn't be an ordinary citizen. From your clothes and behavior, at least your family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. You can only worry about your children.”
The old man's body trembled as he looked at him in shock.
"Am I right?" Yang Hao grinned.”
The old man pursed his lips and did not say anything for a long time. After a long time, he sighed and smiled bitterly.
"Langjun is right. I am indeed worried about my child. How long do you think I can live at this age? He had accumulated some family business over the years, so he had to leave it for his children.”
"But my three children are all extraordinary. The most powerful one is my second child. Not only is he well-versed in both martial arts and literature, but he is also extremely intelligent and capable.”
Yang Hao smiled. It seemed that this old man liked his second son very much, but he obviously felt that the eldest son should inherit the family business. If he handed it over to his second son, the family would probably not be at peace.
"Old man, come over and sit."
"I have an idea."
Yang Hao sat cross-legged on the ground and patted the area beside him as he said with a smile.
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but smile.
You have a way?
Do you know how big my family business is?
Although the old man was criticizing him in his heart, he did not look down on him. Instead, he lifted his robe and walked to Yang Hao's side to sit down. He smiled and said,"Then this old master will be all ears."
Yang Hao crossed his arms and thought about his words. Then, he looked up at the old man and said seriously,"In my opinion, you should let your second son inherit your family business.”
"Don't be in a hurry to retort. Let me finish.”
Yang Hao saw that the old man's brows were furrowed even more tightly. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. He waved his hand to stop him from saying anything and continued,
"It's hard to start a business, but it's even harder to keep it. Think about it, old man. If you hand over this business to your eldest son, he's not as capable as your second son.”
"Moreover, your second son is very capable. Isn't your eldest son worried that he will snatch the family business? You have three children. The eldest son has to inherit the business, and the second son is very capable. What position does your third son stand in?”
"You also know that since ancient times, the imperial court has only established elders and not sages. The rich men among the people think the same way. Therefore, when your third brother saw that his second brother was so capable, he probably felt jealous and followed the eldest brother.”
This kid…
The old man was stunned when he heard this. He had only spoken a few short sentences to him, but he could actually analyze it so clearly. Most importantly, many of what he said was too right!
"Let me tell you another story."
Yang Hao suddenly thought of the upcoming Black Tortoise Sect incident. He pondered for a few seconds and said,"Just listen to this story yourself. Don't spread it. Just treat it as a story.”
"This story is about the three princes of the current emperor.”
The old man was thinking with his head lowered. When he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Yang Hao with his pupils shrinking.
Yang Hao didn't notice his abnormality, and said in a calm tone,"
"Putting aside the current emperor, there are three factions in the court: the Crown Prince, the King of Qin, and the King of Qi. The reason I'm telling this story is that the current situation is similar to the predicament you're facing.”
"Anyone who pays attention to court matters can sense that the relationship between the Crown Prince and King Qi's faction and the Qin King's faction is like fire and water. With the Crown Prince and King Qi, there is no place for the Qin King to stand, and with the Qin King, there is no place for the Crown Prince and King Qi.”
The old man's expression changed slightly.
Yang Hao continued," Look at the current Emperor. He likes the King of Qin, but he wants the Crown Prince to inherit the world. This is no different from throwing soup to stop the boiling. He doesn't pay attention to this problem from the root.”
"It's better to remove the firewood than to use soup to stop the boiling. Although the carbuncle is painful, it's better to nourish the poison.”
Yang Hao sighed with emotion." The current trend is that only one of the Crown Prince and the King of Qin can remain. If the current Emperor still holds onto the idea that both exist, the final result will be that both will be lost. One side will die and the other will live. The one who is alive will resent the current Emperor's unfair handling of affairs, so it is called losing both.”
The old man's face turned pale, and his lips trembled. Was this what it meant to be a bystander? Why didn't he notice this before? Why had no one ever told him these things?
If only she had told him earlier.
Why would I worry about this matter today?
The old man's gaze towards Yang Hao changed completely. It became very serious and serious as he asked,""If you were His Majesty, what would you do?”
Yang Hao shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands."If it were me, I would definitely protect the King of Qin. The King of Qin has the ability to develop, so why not let him inherit the world? Moreover, the battle between the Crown Prince and the King of Qin would soon be decided.”
"What do you mean?" the old man asked in surprise.”
"The pot is steaming hot. No matter how tightly the lid is covered, there will be a time when it will vent. Moreover, if we don't remove the lid, who knows what's inside? Therefore, we will naturally see the result."
Yang Hao spoke with assurance," That's why I said that if I were the current emperor, there would still be a way to salvage the situation. Instead of letting the situation continue to develop in an irreversible direction, it would be better to take drastic measures and capture the Crown Prince, trap the King of Qi, and re-establish the King of Qin.”
"This way…"
"Everything is still under control."
Yang Hao laughed as he spoke.
What a pity.
He was not Li Yuan.
Otherwise, the upcoming Black Tortoise Sect incident might be resolved.
However, he did not notice that the old man sitting next to him had a thoughtful expression.
"It's getting late."
"This old man will return first.”
With that, the old man turned around and left.
Yang Hao continued to sit on the ground and looked up at the sky. It was still early. Why didn't he hear his deadbeat father calling him for dinner?
————
The old man walked out of the field and walked on the path with a heavy heart.
Da da--
Horses galloped.
The old man stopped and looked up.
A luxurious carriage was slowly approaching them like a moon surrounded by stars.
