Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 794 Your Majesty is Right

While the candle was flickering, Yang Hong and Fan Guang got up to leave, but Yu Shiyue stayed behind.

After sending the two away, Yu Qian and Yu Shiyue sat down again. At this time, Yu Cifu, who had not spoken from the beginning to the end, asked.

"Ting Yi, you want to send that child from the Yang family and Sun Yong to supplement the vanguard of the government army, just go, why bother..."

Why should Yang Hong and Fan Guang be specially invited over here?

"Brother Yu was wrong. It's not me who wants them, but the emperor who wants to send them there."

Yu Qian shook his head, his brows were slightly frowned, and he seemed to be a little confused.

"I think Yang Hou will not fail to understand this, so today I invited Yang Hou and Fan Dudu to come here, in fact, to see their attitude on this matter, but just now..."

"The tasks entrusted by His Majesty must naturally be done with all one's heart. Being able to serve the court is also a blessing for the child, but Yu Shaobao should also know that the child is naturally weak and sick, and it is difficult to travel to the border. Being a parent, if you have Maybe, I always hope that the child will suffer less."

These are Yang Hong's original words. Although the words are not clear, the meaning of polite refusal is already very obvious.

Yu Shiyue is also an astute person, after hearing the second half of Yu Qian's sentence, he immediately figured out the joints in it, so he asked.

"Is it because, on the high platform today, Marquis Yang spoke up for Duke Cheng?"

Yu Qian nodded and said.

"Accordingly, since His Majesty appointed Yang Jie as Jinyiwei's governor, and now he is also in charge of the small army camp, he should trust the Yang family very much, and I shouldn't be suspicious."

"However, what the Marquis of Changping did today is indeed a little surprising, so I have to test it out. After all, the matter of rectifying the army..."

At this point, Yu Shaobao sighed, took a sip from his teacup, but did not continue.

However, Yu Shiyue understood what he meant.

At the beginning, when Yu Qian found out the crime of Xuanfu's occupation of the military settlement, the Yang family was the first to bear the brunt. The emperor had to deal with the Changping Houfu in pain to show the court's determination to rectify the military settlement.

At that time, the entire Yang family was in turmoil. Yang Jun was imprisoned, Yang Neng was grounded, Yang Hong himself was lingering in the sick bed, and was deprived of the power of the Beijing camp, just like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Although in the end, Yang Hong fought back desperately, and used a desperate fight to pull Ningyuan Hou Renli into the water, and saved him from disaster, allowing the Yang family to pass the test safely.

But in the end, there was a knot in the middle.

Originally, Yu Qian didn't think about this place, but in recent days, the actions of the Yang family really made him a little confused.

The memorabilia written by Yang Hong earlier was rumored in the court, and there was a friend like Yu Shiyue in the cabinet, so Yu Qian naturally knew what was written in the memorandum.

Therefore, he also took it for granted that right after Yang Hong submitted the memorial, the emperor summoned Yang Hong and his son, and then bestowed a reward on Yang Jie and asked him to be the envoy of Jinyiwei.

Afterwards, this memorial was silently suppressed. It was hard for Yu Qian not to think that Yang Jie's award was for the emperor to stop Yang Hong from entanglement with the original matter.

But now at the Spring Hunting Ground, Yang Hong mentioned this matter again, as if he wanted to justify Zhu Yong's name, and he looked like he would not give up until he achieved his goal, which made Yu Qian even more surprised.

The most critical point is, why did Yang Hong do this?
If it is said to be compensation, then the emperor first gave Yang Jie the Jinyiwei Zhenfu envoy, and now he is also in charge of the small army camp, which can be described as extremely honorable.

Not to mention, what happened back then was caused by the Yang family themselves, if it wasn't for their misbehavior in the Xuan Mansion, the emperor would not be able to turn his attention to the Yang family if he wanted to rectify the army.

After listening to Yu Qian's words, Yu Shiyue also murmured and said.

"Speaking of which, Changping Hou's actions just now are really strange."

There is no doubt that the emperor let Yang Jie and Sun Yong into the small barracks, just to make Zhu Yi empty.

This is naturally the intention of asking the Ministry of War to supplement the vanguard of the government army.

Although Yu Qian often confronts the emperor, sometimes Yu Shiyue has to admit that Yu Qian can figure out the emperor's thoughts very well, but this stubborn temper sometimes pretends not to know and refuses to follow suit. Just do it.

Therefore, letting Yang Jie and Sun Yong be responsible for going to the border to select candidates should also be the emperor's intention.

From this perspective, this is actually a grace.

Yang Hong has guarded the Xuan Mansion for many years, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is his base camp. It can be said that most of the current officers and soldiers in the Xuan Mansion are trained by Yang Hong.

Let Yang Jie go to the Xuan Mansion to select the officers and soldiers to serve as the vanguard of the army. Apart from being innocent and loyal to the court, he must also choose someone who is handy for the Yang family.

In this way, Yang Jie can quickly gain a firm foothold among the forbidden army.

You must know that the most lacking of newly promoted nobles like Yang Hong and Fan Guang is actually contacts in the Beijing camp and the imperial army.

The honorable family has been passed down for several generations. Which generation has a large number of children who have entered the army. Although not many can stay in the end, they are basically transferred out. The intricate personal connections, this is the background.

Of course, with the imperial system in place, the government and ministries check and balance each other, and such things as arbitrarily mobilizing the army, even the most complicated personal connections can't do it, but big things can't be done, such as supporting each other and doing things conveniently. OK.

On the other hand, the Yang family, although they have a title, can guard the frontier fortress for a long time. In Beijing, only a young man like Yang Jie guards them. All the connections and influences they manage are outside. Once they return to Beijing, they will become deaf and blind.

We must know that it is not easy to welcome and send people to the boundary of the capital.

It is as strong as Cheng Guogong's mansion, which has been passed down for several generations. Once it fell, not only hit the wall everywhere, but even the property shop was seized by others, and there was no place to reason.

Although the new nobles of the Yang family can't fall to this level, it is still difficult to support a huge marquis's mansion, to handle all kinds of affairs, to welcome and send people everywhere, without any connections. Very well done.

If it is said that he lives by guarding his own title and not being afraid of other people's shabby jokes, that's fine.

But if you want to develop in the capital, gain a firm foothold and maintain the dignity of the Hou Mansion.

Then, one can either grind one's qualifications slowly and accumulate over time, or one can only seek refuge in an established family, just like Hou Renli of Ningyuan.

However, to gain power, you have to be driven by others. Lord Ren Hou has done a lot of battles, but now...

So in fact, sending Yang Jie to Beijing this time is a good opportunity.

The so-called King of Hades is easy to see, and little ghosts are hard to deal with. In the noble circles in the capital, everyone is holding hereditary iron coupons, and everyone is a King of Hades, big or small.

What's different is that they have little ghosts under their hands, but the new nobles of the Yang family don't.

In the past, although Yang Hong was in charge of the Beijing camp, the time was too short. Moreover, the status of the Beijing camp was special, and Yang Hong did not dare to develop his cronies too much. Otherwise, it would be no joke to be ginseng. .

However, this time, even if it is all together to supplement the vanguard of the government army, if it falls to Xuanfu, at least two to 3000 people must be selected.

Even if half of these people were transferred to the capital, they would be of great benefit to the Yang family.

But it was such an opportunity, but Yang Hong declined it!
Yu Shiyue and Yu Qian sat opposite each other, and they were silent for a moment. They both thought of something at the same time, but no one revealed it.

After a while, Yu Shiyue sighed, Fang said.

"Ting Yi, do you think it is possible that the Yang family also wants to rely on Duke Cheng's mansion?"

Connecting all these things, it is easy to find that Yang Hong's actions are inseparable from Cheng Guogong's mansion.

From the very beginning, to the delayed refusal to select the young army, all of them are inseparable from Cheng Guo's government.

So, this is the greatest possibility!

"It's possible, but maybe not..."

Regarding this point, Yu Qian seemed to be a little uncertain, and he was a little contradictory in his words.

"Judging from the current indications, the Marquis of Changping is indeed maintaining Cheng Guogong's mansion. It is also possible that he wants to cling to him, or more precisely, he wants to send charcoal in a timely manner and seek to join forces. It is also unknown."

"After all, Duke Cheng's mansion has deep roots. If the Yang family can help Cheng Guo's mansion again, Zhu Yi will definitely reciprocate it. Naturally, the Yang family can gain a firm foothold in the capital."

"However, if this is the case, Yang Hong can also use the Young Army Camp to trade with Zhu Yi, as long as he can gain Zhu Yi's trust. His current attitude is more like..."

Yu Qian obviously hesitated to say this, so Yu Shiyue spoke up.

"Alone?"

Yu Qian nodded, frowning, and did not continue.

Yu Shiyue didn't continue talking, so the tent fell silent.

After a while, Yu Shiyue seemed to think of something, his eyes flashed, and he asked suddenly.

"Ting Yi, try to figure out the position of people's hearts, isn't this like you?"

Friends for many years, how can he not understand Yu Qian's temperament.

Upholding integrity for the public and wholeheartedly for the country are the most appropriate descriptions for modesty.

Normally, although Yu Qian was in the middle of the court, he was not keen on standing in line, and even faintly rejected it.

To be honest, with his personality, he should have stayed in the position of assistant minister for many years, and only when the edges and corners were almost worn out would he have a chance to be qualified for the position of Qiqing.

But God gave him a chance to skip this step and soar, that was also his fate.

At the level of Qiqing, they are a faction themselves, and only others cling to them, and there is no time for them to stand in line.

Naturally, Yu Qian also didn't have to engage in any sort of siding and camping.

On weekdays, although the two met each other, in fact, even if Yu Shiyue wanted to ask Yu Qian about the complicated struggles in the cabinet, he would not ask, because he knew that it would be useless to ask.

As long as he speaks, he will definitely receive Yu Shaobao's ideological education of "speaking rightly, doing right things, and walking the right way".

But this time, they actually discussed for such a long time, how the Yang family wants to stand in the court, it is not a big surprise...

Hearing this, Yu Qian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly and said.

"In court, how could it be possible not to talk about your position?"

This is a good point, but obviously unable to convince Yu Cifu, he took a sip of his tea and asked again.

"Then what is it that made Ting Yiyi start to announce this matter?"

There was silence again in the tent.

The answer, in fact, they all vaguely understood in their hearts.

This kind of topic can only be discussed a little bit after the relationship between the two of them for many years.

Otherwise, in the officialdom, if you ask such a question rashly, you will offend others.

After a long time, Yu Qian looked at the flickering candle with complicated eyes, and sighed softly, not knowing whether he was speaking to Yu Shiyue or talking to himself, said.

"Young army, young army..."

Although there are only a few simple words, the meanings contained in them are very complicated.

Yu Shiyue then understood that what he guessed was consistent with what Yu Qian was worried about.

After pondering for a while, Yu Cifu's tone was also a bit complicated, said.

"The young army was originally set up to teach martial arts in the East Palace. Now, it is indeed too early..."

That's all I can say.

Even if there are only the two of them in this place, even if they have been friends for many years, it would be taboo to talk about it further.

But even if they don't say it, there are some things that both of them know.

Young army Young army, no matter how small the number is, they all occupy the word army!
The avant-garde infantry battalion of the government army has an establishment of 2000 people, which is naturally not worth mentioning compared to the entire Forbidden Army.

However, it has special attributes that other upper straight guards do not have.

That is to say, in addition to obeying the edict of the emperor, the young army camp also obeyed the order of the prince.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. The Eastern Palace is actually a miniature version of the imperial court, which was set up for the prince to learn how to handle state affairs.

The status of the Young Army Battalion is equivalent to that of the Forbidden Army of the court. Although it belongs to the Shangzhiwei, the crown prince also has the right to mobilize it.

But the crux of the problem is that the prince is too young now.

Even if it is necessary to teach martial arts, the current prince can't use it.

But under such circumstances, the Supreme Emperor insisted on preparing a young army for the East Palace, which meant that people dared not think about it.

At this point, Yu Shiyue also understood why Yu Qian, who had always disliked party disputes, became uncharacteristically today and began to seriously think about the position of the Changping Marquis Mansion.

Because Yang Hong's position represents Yang Jie's position.

There is already a Zhu Yi in the Young Army Camp. If Yang Jie's position is also vacillating, then this force may become a hidden risk.

This is what Yu Qian said, in the court, many times, it is impossible not to talk about your position, it is related to the major affairs of the society, you must talk about it!
But obviously, today's results are not satisfactory.

After a long silence, Yu Qian's face was a little heavy, he still looked at the flickering candle, and said softly.

"Brother Yu, Your Majesty is right."

"It seems that in the past few days, it was indeed Yu, who was too naive..."

When he said these words, there was a rare flash of self-mockery on Yu Qian's face.

Yu Shiyue didn't ask what Yu Qian was saying that the emperor was right.

He knew very well in his heart that with the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Yu Qian, there must be many unknown relationships between them.

No matter how good the relationship is, it is an official principle not to inquire about what should not be inquired about.

However, seeing Yu Qian's slightly lonely look, Yu Shiyue pondered for a moment, and said.

"Ting Yi, His Majesty must have made arrangements for the matter of the court."

"Since His Majesty has agreed to the establishment of the young army, it should be fine. You and I should do our best..."
