The Southern Song Dynasty began with the apprenticeship of Huang Shang

451 Compassionate Heart
At this moment, a voice sounded at the palace gate.

I saw a middle-aged man in a strong suit, with a pair of narrow eyes, and a mustache at the corner of his mouth, standing at the gate of the palace and looking at this side.

Yang Chengye and Meng Xianer looked, they didn't know this person at all, and they didn't know why he knew his name.

The soldier also saw the person coming, and hurriedly saluted, "I've seen Mr. You!"

Hearing this, Yang Chengye also looked at You Jiugong, and secretly said, "When did Fu'er have such a number one person under his command?"

The surname is You, could it be You Jiugong?
You Jiugong's name suddenly appeared in Yang Chengye's mind.

You Jiugong, born in Jianyang, Jianning, with the word Mianzhi and the word Yucheng, was named Mr. Shouzhai.

You Jiugong used shade to make up for officials. He successively served as Lang Guan of the Ministry of War, Quanzhou Zhizhou, and Sinon Shaoqing. He once wrote about the disadvantages of border labor.

Later, he was promoted to be the deputy of the Privy Council, to know the Qingyuan Mansion, and to be the minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
You Jiugong lived a life of cleanliness, prudence and honesty, with no surplus money, and also wrote some popular poems. He died at the age of 81.

Yang Chengye clasped his fists and said, "May I ask you, are you Lord You Jiugong You?"

Hearing this, You Jiugong took a few steps forward, and when he saw Yang Chengye's appearance clearly, he was overjoyed.

"It's really Hero Yang!"

"That's right, I'm You Jiugong, but I don't dare to be an adult!"

You Jiugong looked at Yang Chengye excitedly, even a little embarrassed.

Yang Chengye smiled and said, "Master You recognize me?"

You Jiugong replied: "Hero Yang has made great achievements, is there anyone in the world who doesn't know you?"

"I've only seen the portrait of Hero Yang in General Shen's study, but I didn't expect the real person to be so wise and powerful!"

Yang Chengye, whom You Jiugong flattered, felt relieved for a while.

Meng Xian'er next to her covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly.

"Oh?"

Yang Chengye asked curiously, "Is there still a portrait of me in Baichuan's study?"

"Yes!"

You Jiugong nodded.

"General Shen said that although Hero Yang is his uncle, he has always regarded Hero Yang as his goal, and said that one day he will make Hero Yang look up to him!"

"only…………"

Yang Chengye frowned slightly, and asked, "Just what?"

You Jiugong coughed dryly, and said, "I see that Hero Yang is not very old, so how can he be General Shen's uncle?"

"I think they are almost brothers!"

Hearing this, Yang Chengye touched his cheek and murmured: "Am I that young?"

Yang Chengye looked at Meng Xian'er.

Meng Xian'er laughed so hard that tears almost flowed out.

Yang Chengye coughed dryly, and didn't want to argue with You Jiugong any more, so he asked, "Master You, I want to see Baichuan."

You Jiugong hurriedly said: "Of course, I will take Hero Yang to see General Shen."

You Jiugong said and made a gesture of invitation to Yang Chengye and Meng Xian'er.

At this time, the guard was already dumbstruck, staring at Yang Chengye in a daze.

Yang Chengye patted the guard on the shoulder, and Meng Xian'er followed You Jiugong into the palace.

Seeing the three of Yang Chengye drifting away, the guard suddenly excitedly said to the other guard: "Brother, did you see it? That's Yang Chengye, Hero Yang!"

"Oh my god, I actually saw Hero Yang, it's really smoke from the ancestral grave."

"No, I have to burn incense on my ancestral grave tomorrow and tell them."

After hearing what the guard said, the other guard's eyes lit up with excitement.

Yang Chengye had no idea that he had become a god in the eyes of others.

I don't know how I would feel if I knew it.

Xia Jing's palace is not as exquisite as the Lin'an Palace, but it looks very grand and magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, and the top of the palace is all glazed tiles, which looks beautiful, but it is obviously not as good as the Forbidden City of later generations.

Walking along the road, I didn't meet a guard, only some eunuchs and maids shuttled back and forth.

Through You Jiugong's introduction, Yang Chengye knew that these eunuchs and court ladies were all left by the Emperor Jin.

They were forced to enter the palace, and they no longer had any relatives. If they were sent away, they would have to wait for death.

That's why Shen Baichuan left them behind and disturbed the palace, which was regarded as giving them old age.

But Shen Baichuan never commanded them, they are all free, if they want to leave, no one will stop them.

Yang Chengye and Meng Xian'er were taken directly to the imperial study by You Jiugong.

At this time, the imperial study room was brightly lit, and a figure was busy on the table.

"General, please see me if you belong to the lower reaches of the Nine Skills!"

You Jiugong said respectfully outside the study room.

"Come in directly!"

Shen Baichuan's low voice came from the imperial study room.

"Squeak"

You Jiugong pushed open the door of the imperial study room, and entered with Yang Chengye and Meng Xian'er.

"General, Hero Yang is here!"

As soon as You Jiugong finished speaking, Shen Baichuan who was still lying on the table got up immediately.

When he saw Yang Chengye, he ran over excitedly.

"Third Uncle, you are here!"

"If you don't come again, I will lead soldiers to find you!"

Yang Chengye looked at the increasingly mature Shen Baichuan with a smile, and sighed: "That's right, when I grow up, I'm more and more like your father!"

Shen Baichuan nodded excitedly, and saluted Mengxian'er: "Fu'er has seen auntie!"

One of Shen Baichuan's aunts immediately made Mengxian'er's face full of clouds, and she didn't know how to respond.

"General, the subordinates will leave first!"

You Jiugong resigned tactfully, Shen Baichuan said with a smile, "Thank you, Jiugong!"

After You Jiugong withdrew, Shen Baichuan invited Yang Chengye and Meng Xian'er to the seats.

After a while, a court lady brought tea and snacks.

Shen Baichuan asked curiously: "I didn't tell you to serve tea?"

The maid saluted and said: "General Qi, Master You ordered just now."

Hearing this, Shen Baichuan shook his head and said, "This is You Jiu Gong!"

Yang Chengye could tell that Shen Baichuan trusted You Jiugong very much, otherwise he wouldn't have left him in the palace so late.

"Second Uncle, is everything going well?"

After the palace maid withdrew, Shen Baichuan asked Yang Chengye.

"It's okay, it's all settled."

Yang Chengye said: "Tell me about you, what are your plans for the future?"

Hearing Yang Chengye's question, Shen Baichuan frowned and said, "My nephew is worrying about Western Xia and Mongolia!"

Yang Chengye did not answer, but quietly waited for Shen Baichuan to continue.

Shen Baichuan smiled wryly and said: "Xixia, the Mongolian army is watching in the north, the countries of the Western Regions are threatening the frontier in the west, and our solid defense is in the southeast, so there is nothing to worry about."

"The only thing I worry about is the Mongolian army."

"The Temujin tribe has integrated the rest of the Mongolian tribes. They have a large population and their iron cavalry is unparalleled in the world. If one day they invade the south, I'm afraid..."

Yang Chengye smiled lightly and said, "Actually, the Mongolian army is not as scary as you said."

Shen Baichuan nodded and said: "I also understand this point. If we attack Mongolia now, I am sure to wipe them all out."

"But there are so many Mongols on the grassland, we can't kill them all, right? How is that different from a butcher?"

"hehe"

Yang Chengye said with a smile: "It seems that Fu'er still has a compassionate heart!"
