Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 587 The truth of Yang Jie

In the flower hall, Zhu Yi didn't speak immediately, but put the envelope in her hand, tapped lightly on the table, her eyes fell on Yang Jie, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, he shook his head lightly, sighed in a complicated tone.

"The Yang family is indeed not simple. It has been accumulated for many years, heh..."

However, it was only for a short moment that Zhu Yi's face became serious. He put his hand on the envelope beside him, looked at Yang Jie, and asked.

"Since you know that I have a very close relationship with Ren Hou now, then you brought this thing to show your sincerity so that you can convince me...or, as you said, to convince the people behind me to Together with the Marquis of Changping, fight hard?"

Since the "bottom" has been exposed by others, there is no need to cover it up, otherwise it will just be underestimated for no reason.

What's more, after the emperor's "statement" last time, coupled with the marriage gift from the Empress Dowager Shangsheng, the current "stance" of Cheng Guogong's mansion is not a particularly big secret.

From this reasoning, it is easy to draw conclusions.

Perhaps Yang Jie's intention was to use the evidence in his hand to coerce Zhu Yi, or more directly, to coerce the Supreme Emperor's party to jointly resist the Shang Fang sword that was about to be swung by the Ministry of War.

It should be said that this is a very reasonable inference, and Yang Jie's various performances after entering the mansion are in line with this point.

He first repeatedly emphasized that the Ministry of War's plan to rectify the army would endanger the interests of the nobles. It was not aimed at the Changping Houfu family, but that the interests of both of them were the same.

With the basis of cooperation, there is the possibility of cooperation.

However, as an honorable minister promoted by the emperor, Yang Hong has maintained a boundary with Jingnan nobles since he entered Beijing, and even the Cheng'anhou Mansion, Yangwuhou Mansion, and Qingpingbo Mansion, which had friendship before, have gradually become estranged. .

Now, the hasty Uemoto wants to join forces, and both sides probably don't trust each other.

However, given the current situation facing the Marquis of Changping, there is no time at all for the two parties to build trust, so they can only go another way.

Blackmail!

While luring them for profit, they should also be threatened.

If the Marquis of Changping really wants to join forces, there is no doubt that they will be at a disadvantage if they take the initiative to come to the door.

At that time, no matter what conditions are raised here, the Changping Hou Mansion can only follow through.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a passive situation, Yang Jie presented this evidence.

This is to tie the two sides into one boat. If the Yang family's boat sinks, at least they have to find someone to be buried with them. If they don't want to die together, the only way is to cooperate.

Judging from the current situation, this is the greatest possibility.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there is another possibility, that is, Yang Jie has noticed something from some clues, so he wants to use Zhu Yi's hand to report this matter to the emperor, so as to get rid of the crisis that the Changping Hou Mansion is facing. Dilemma.

But intellectually, it's hard.

Zhu Yi's contacts with the palace were all done through the Dongchang by the attendants around him. If such secrets could be leaked, then Shu Liang, the admiral of the Dongchang, would not have to do it.

What's more, if the Marquis of Changping really planned to do this, then he didn't need to come to Zhu Yi, it would be much faster and more convenient for him to go directly to Dongchang, or to let Yang Hong enter the palace in person to present himself as the emperor.

Therefore, on this point, Zhu Yi is still sure, and he has even planned how to deal with Yang Jie next.

However, under Zhu Yi's gaze, Yang Jie shook his head slightly.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be faster for Yang to go directly to Ningyuanhou's mansion? Why bother to find the young master?"

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Zhu Yi to feel that Yang Jie is difficult to deal with.

No matter when, he always speaks in a calm and unhurried manner, so that it is impossible for people to see his real intention.

Eyes narrowed a dangerous slit, Zhu Yi squeezed the wrench in her hand, and asked calmly.

"Oh, so I guessed wrong?"

The atmosphere in the flower hall seemed a bit oppressive for no reason, but Yang Jie didn't seem to notice it, first nodded lightly, and after a while, shook his head again and said.

"Young master is right, but also wrong!"

Zhu Yi's expression did not fluctuate at all, but continued to ask calmly: "What's the explanation?"

This time, perhaps because it was at a crucial point, Yang Jie's expression became serious, and he said, which was rare.

"I came to the young man and took out this secret letter to show my sincerity and to persuade the young man, but I didn't want to join hands, but..."

"I would like to ask the young master to join me and pull Marquis Ningyuan off his horse!"

The voice is serious, but the words are as shocking as stone breaking.

Zhu Yi obviously did not expect such a result.

He was stunned for a moment, and immediately, his body relaxed slightly, as if he had heard something funny, he laughed loudly.

"Hahaha……"

In the originally silent flower hall, Zhu Yi's loud laughter echoed.

It wasn't until a moment later that Zhu Yi looked at Yang Jie who didn't feel anything wrong, and then she restrained her smile and said.

"Yang Shizi, I pretend I didn't hear what you said just now, please go back."

Yang Jie didn't move, he just sat in the distance, still looking at Zhu Yi calmly, and asked.

"Don't you want to hear, my little eunuch, why did I say something that made my little eunuch laugh?"

He said these words very seriously, but it seemed that Zhu Yi's laughter just now was very inappropriate.

Raising her hand and taking a sip of her tea, Zhu Yi looked at Yang Jie leisurely and asked back.

"I said I don't want to, so Yang Shizi didn't say it?"

Yang Jie was speechless for a moment, obviously he did not expect that Zhu Yi would still be in the mood to tease him at this moment.

Rarely, he was taken aback for a while, but he quickly came to his senses.

After thinking about it, Yang Jie also picked up the teacup and took a sip to sort out his slightly confused thoughts. After putting down the teacup, his face finally regained his calmness and seriousness, said.

"Young master may not know, but since I was a child, my mother taught me a truth, when a person cannot protect himself, he must learn to rely on the strength of others."

After all, Zhu Yi knew something about Yang Jie's experience.

Yang Hong has not been in the capital for many years, so Yang Jie grew up with his mother since he was a child, and his relationship is naturally extraordinary.

Now that the old lady of the Yang family has passed away, no matter what the relationship between Zhu Yi and Yang Jie is now, when mentioning ancestors, the necessary respect must be required, this is a matter of upbringing.

Therefore, when Yang Jie spoke, Zhu Yi subconsciously put away all casual expressions, and even straightened her body.

Although this movement is not big, it is not difficult to notice.

While Yang Jie was talking, he saw Zhu Yi on the opposite side adjust his posture, so, rare, Yang Jie's expression fluctuated slightly, and his words stopped for a while.

However, it was only a moment before Yang Jie continued to speak without haste.

"However, no matter how close you are, there is no reason to help you for no reason. So, very early on, I understood that if you want to use the power of others, you must bring benefits to others."

"So, as I said just now, I came this time not only to help the Changping Marquis, but also to help the young man."

Yang Jie said these words seriously, and Zhu Yi listened seriously.

However, after listening, Zhu Yi was a little disappointed, shook his head, and said.

"Yang Shizi, it's still the same sentence. Since you know that I have a deep friendship with Ren Hou, then what good will it do me if he falls? Instead of lobbying with me, you might as well think of other ways..."

As she spoke, Zhu Yi picked up the letter in her hand and said.

"I believe this thing is not the original, let alone the complete copy. I keep this, but I won't use it. If Yang Shizi really wants to use this to make a fuss, he shouldn't come to me!"

After all, Zhu Yi is about to bring tea to the guests.

However, this time, Yang Jie suddenly smiled.

It was different from the humble smile just now, but it looked like a smile on his face. This time, there was a hint of mockery in Yang Jie's smile.

So Zhu Yi stopped her movements and waited quietly for his explanation.

Yang Jie restrained his smile and sighed softly. He seemed to be wondering why Zhu Yi still didn't understand, since he had made it so clear.

After thinking about it, Yang Jie simply said directly.

"Young master, you want me to use this letter to threaten Marquis Ning Yuan?"

Zhu Yi didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it either.

However, the matter has come to this point, and there is no need for him to say anything.

Yang Jie shook his head and emphasized again, saying.

"My lord, you still don't understand that if you want to borrow the strength of others, you want to benefit them!"

"This letter will certainly make Marquis Ningyuan fearful and even throw a rat's weapon, but such a union must be fragile."

"The knife in your hand can make a tiger keep you at arm's length, but it's impossible to make a tiger bite someone for you, because this tiger still wants to bite you!"

Zhu Yi was silent, and unconsciously placed her right hand on the envelope on the table again.

Of course he could understand what Yang Jie said.

Ningyuan Hou's Mansion is a tiger!

As the most capable figure in the Supreme Emperor's party in the court, Ren Li is very important in terms of power and status.

It is impossible to make him bow his head simply by threatening.

What's more, this letter is not an ironclad evidence, but a slightly directional intelligence.

With a few vague words and some unknown data, it would be too naive to want the Ningyuan Hou Mansion to obey.

Of course, Zhu Yi believed that what he saw was far from all that Yang Jie had.

At the end of this letter, it ended with the arrest of a suspicious-looking person who wanted to abscond, but whether this person was alive or dead was not mentioned.

Xuan Mansion is the territory of the Yang family. If nothing else happens, this person should have fallen into the hands of Yang Xin.

However, even so, it may not really be able to shake Ningyuanhou's mansion.

It's a bit too much to say, if this is true, Ren Li even dared to move the important ministers sent by the emperor. If he was really pushed, would he care about a crumbling Yang family?

So, it's not a good idea.

but……

Shaking her head, Zhu Yi asked: "Well, let's regard this as a bad policy, then, is it a good policy for you to come to me? Since you said that borrowing someone's power to let the other party reap benefits, then, Ren Hou If it falls, what good will it do me?"

"First of all, we can make Cheng Guogong's mansion not to oppose His Majesty on the matter of military settlements!"

Yang Jie looked at Zhu Yi, and spoke seriously without blinking.

But this sentence changed Zhu Yi's face in an instant, but before he could speak, Yang Jie spoke again, saying.

"Little lord, I have lived in Beijing for so many years. I dare not say anything else, but I still have a bit of eyesight. It is true that Cheng Guogong's mansion is not favored by the emperor. It is also true that you are forced to turn your head and protect yourself. , but... you don't want to go against the emperor, I'm afraid it's true!"

These words, Yang Jie said with certainty, he was not asking, but stating.

Zhu Yi looked at the overly young face opposite, with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

However, Yang Jie still took his time, said.

"I don't know why the young man is so contradictory, or maybe, besides these, the young man has other reasons, but this is not important, Yang has no intention of spying on the young man's mind, nor does he have any intention of doing anything, I just wanted to say..."

"Young master is very wise to do this!"

As he spoke, a rare complexion appeared on Yang Jie's face, said.

"To tell you the truth, my father had thought about the roads mentioned by the young master just now, and even almost did it, but I stopped him."

After finishing speaking, Yang Jie paused, looked up at Zhu Yi seriously, and continued.

"Little Grandpa, I will give this sentence to you, and I will give it to you. Today, he is the most unpredictable person I have ever met. Therefore, never try to fight against this old man."

"I believe that the young man also agrees with this."

Zhu Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded lightly, and said.

"Your Majesty Yang, I admit that you are right, but the government of Chengguo now only wants to protect itself, and everything I do is for self-protection, so I really don't want to be targeted by the emperor, but ..."

While speaking, Zhu Yi also raised her head, looked at Yang Jie and said seriously.

"I also won't cause trouble by myself, so if Shizi Yang wants to do something, please come back."

To be honest, this is the first time that Zhu Yi has felt a chill down his back. Just now, he felt a strong feeling for a moment.

It seemed that Yang Jie had already seen through his details, but it was only a moment before he dispelled this thought.

Still the same sentence, if this matter can be leaked out, the East Factory should be replaced.

Seeing Yang Jie's indifferent expression, Zhu Yi was basically sure.

The son of the Marquis of Changping, with his insight into the fire, has already vaguely guessed something. Of course, he may only have a little guess, which is far from the truth, and it is impossible to have any evidence.

But even so, it is enough to prove that he is terrible.

Even Zhu Yi couldn't help thinking, what kind of environment can make a person's mind so meticulous and meticulous.

Speaking of which, this is the third time that Zhu Yi has issued an order to evict guests.

However, Yang Jie still had no intention of leaving. He clasped his right hand and rested it on the table, and asked back with the same serious expression.

"My lord, I believe what you said, but ask yourself, besides protecting yourself, haven't you ever thought about... Is this a good chance to get back the title of Duke?"
