Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 1000
In the flower hall, seeing Yang Jie's serious expression, Jin Lian couldn't help hesitating.

He glanced at Yang Hong next to him, then turned around, pondered for a moment, Jin Lian said.

"Yang Tongzhi, you just arrived in Xuanfu City today. First, you haven't seen Yang Hou for a long time. You must have a lot to say. Second, these people are obviously not nice. Yang Tongzhi just arrived in Xuanfu, and he doesn't know their situation. There is no need to do this. Are you in a hurry?"

The beginning of these words are all excuses, but the last sentence is the real point.

Now that the emotions of various ministries are unstable, Jin Lian is worried whether Yang Jie's direct appearance will intensify the conflict, and secondly, he wants to find out whether Yang Jie has other intentions when he comes here.

You know, although he said he was not in the capital, Jin Lian's political sense was still keen. The emperor sent Yang Jie over this time, in Jin Lian's opinion, it was not a good sign.

Therefore, out of prudent considerations, he still wanted to have a talk with Yang Jie first, and then go to see these envoys after unifying their opinions.

However, what he didn't expect was that these envoys were so excited that they all rushed over as soon as they heard the news.

Sensing Jin Lian's gaze just now, Yang Hong naturally knew what the other party meant, he hesitated for a moment, and he followed suit.

"That's right, Jie'er, you've had a hard time traveling today, even if you need to see each other, don't be in a hurry..."

This can be regarded as the tacit understanding formed between Yang Hong and Jin Lian during this period of time.

Regarding military affairs, Yang Hong was in charge. Under normal circumstances, Jin Lian did not intervene. However, in other matters, Jin Lian's opinions prevailed.

However, facing the resistance of the two, Yang Jie shook his head and said.

"Father, my lord governor, this matter is caused by me. His Majesty ordered me to come to assist in the negotiation this time, and it also gave me a chance to personally clean up the matter. I know what you are worried about, but these few days No one knows better than me the situation of this tribe, please rest assured, I am sure that I can stabilize them."

The sincerity of these words made Jin Lian a little embarrassed.

However, he and Yang Hong looked at each other, frowned and thought for a moment, finally, Jin Lian nodded and said.

"In that case, it's okay to see you."

However, there was still a bit of reluctance in this tone.

Seeing this situation, Yang Jie knew that this Jin Shangshu was still a little displeased with his rash behavior at the moment.

That's right, he was an assistant after all, but he had just arrived at the Xuan Mansion, and without prior communication, he had a disagreement with Jin Lian, the person who presided over the negotiation, which inevitably made people feel that he was a little out of place.

Now that Jin Lian backed down, I'm afraid that firstly, he felt that even if something happened in Xuanfu City, there was still room for redemption, and secondly, it was to save face for Yang Hong and the emperor. After all, Yang Jie was called by the emperor.

However, even though he knew what Jin Lian was thinking, Yang Jie didn't explain too much. For some things, there is always a difference between explaining beforehand and explaining afterwards.

So, after an agreement was reached, servants tidied up the flower hall very quickly, and Yang Jie also changed out of his daily Confucian shirt, and put on a light crimson military robe with tigers embroidered on it.

After everything was ready, Jin Lian and Yang Hong sat in the middle, and Yang Jie sat at the bottom. Then, outside the hall, a servant led several men dressed in Mongolian aristocratic costumes into the room.

As soon as these people entered the flower hall, their eyes were fixed on Yang Jie. However, their expressions were different, some with hatred, some with surprise, and even Jin Lian saw a trace of Yang Jie in the eyes of one of them. An imperceptible joy.

"I have seen the Governor!"

Although it was said that they were already outside Chen Bing's city, after all, this place was in Xuanfu city, and these envoys were still very polite.

Even though their expressions were a little more excited than usual because of Yang Jie's appearance, there was no conflict that Jin Lian was worried about.

"The envoys came here suddenly, but they changed their minds and planned to withdraw their troops, and reunite with me, Daming?"

Jin Lian pretended not to see these people staring at Yang Jie, and didn't even bother to stand up to greet him, so he asked directly.

To put it bluntly, Da Ming certainly doesn't want to go to war now, but even if it really goes to war, the current strength outside Xuanfu City is really not enough.

What's more, the attitude of the emperor was there, and he specially asked Yang Hong to bring an oral order. No matter what, Jin Lian could not lose his momentum.

For Jin Lian's attitude, the envoys were obviously used to it and didn't take it seriously.

Several people glanced at each other, and finally, the tallest man stepped forward and said.

"Respected Governor, our request has been made very clear before. The ministries of the grasslands have no intention of becoming an enemy of Ming Dynasty. However, I, Da Khan and Lord Jinong, were murdered by the traitor Yang Jie. Do not report."

"Previously, the governor said that Yang Jie's whereabouts were uncertain and he had not returned to Daming, so he delayed handing over. Now, he is standing in front of us, and I also ask the governor not to protect the traitor, and to provoke the war between the grassland and Daming. Sinners, leave it to me to take away."

The name of this person is Dabarakan, and he is the envoy of the Chahar tribe. As one of the large tribes under the control of Agadorji, the Chahar tribe has the greatest hostility towards Yang Jie.

After saying this, Yang Hong's expression on the side suddenly sank, and he looked at the envoys opposite him coldly, his eyes were chilling. However, in this situation, he was not the leader, so he didn't speak. Say more.

However, even so, his murderous aura also changed the expression on the other side.

At the same time, Jin Lian couldn't help frowning when he heard that the other party was so rude, and said coldly.

"Yang Jie is my court official of the Ming Dynasty. His majesty personally taught you from the third grade to command the same knowledge. He has an extraordinary status. You say that he killed you Tuotuobuhua and Agadorji, but you can't produce any evidence. How can I convince this official with one-sided words?"

In fact, this is why Jin Lian is unwilling to let Yang Jie meet these people at this time.

He knew very well that since this group of people came to Xuanfu Xingshi to question their crimes, they must have evidence in their hands.

It's just that the other party hasn't come up with this evidence for a long time. If there is no accident, they are just waiting for today.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Dabarragan immediately spoke and said.

"Your Excellency, of course I have evidence. However, Yang Jie refused to show up before. I am afraid that it will be difficult to corroborate the evidence when I present it, so I have not presented it. Now that Yang Jie is back, I Willing to confront him on the spot."

Hearing this, Jin Lian glanced at Yang Jie and saw that he was still calm, so he nodded and said.

"Since this is the case, you can explain everything clearly here. Don't worry, if it is really Yang Jie's fault, I will report it to His Majesty and will not cover it up."

Of course, it's just a confession, as for the final result, it's not up to him...

Jin Shangshu silently added a sentence in his heart.

However, these people obviously didn't know what Jin Lian's expression meant at the moment. After getting the 'promise', Dabarragan turned to Yang Jie who was aside, and said coldly.

"Master Yang, long time no see!"

Yang Jie sat opposite, with a smile on his face, as if the person opposite was not here to kill him, but an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he nodded slightly and said.

"Dabaragan, long time no see. Your spirit is much worse than when we met last time. The Wuyi Mountain tea I mentioned before happens to be still available in the General Military Mansion. It will be over later. I'll bring you some."

As soon as these words came out, even Jin Lian couldn't help but turned his gaze to Yang Jie, while the rest of the envoys looked at Dabarragan in a vaguely different way.

In contrast, Dabarara had a gloomy expression. He looked at Yang Jie and said.

"So, Master Yang admits that he has been to my Chahar Department?"

Seeing that the other party didn't show any face at all, Yang Jie seemed to be a little regretful, the smile on his face gradually faded, he leaned gently on the back of the chair, and said in a neutral manner.

"Yes, I have been."

"Then may I ask Master Yang, as an official of the Ming Dynasty, why did you travel thousands of miles to come to my Chahar Department?"

Dabarakan pressed on step by step, with a dignified tone.

On the other hand, Yang Jie raised his head slightly with a calm demeanor. There was a trace of teasing on Yang Jie's face, but his tone was very serious, saying.

"Speaking of this matter, I would like to ask the Chahar Department."

"Previously, all the tribes of the Er Prairie voluntarily paid tribute to our Ming dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor was kind and merciful. He felt that the grassland was bitter and cold, and the Mongolian tribes were short of food and clothing. Therefore, he specially decreed that he would open a mutual market with the five major tribes of Er, and ordered the Huangdian to do business with you. As soon as the trading market opens, countless herdsmen in the grassland will have a livelihood, and the nobles of various tribes can also enjoy the products of our Ming Dynasty, this is a blessing from heaven."

"However, the various ministries did not want to repay, but connived at the thieves and plundered our borders in private. What's more, they colluded with unscrupulous merchants, smuggled goods to the grassland, and violated the mutual market regulations. I went to the grassland this time for no other reason than to When investigating the border smuggling, I thought that the smuggling was caused by some small tribes that did not communicate with each other, but I never thought that in the end, the Chahar tribe was found."

"The Chahar Department received the grace of my Majesty, but they did not follow their promises in private and destroyed the mutual market. I don't know about this, Dabara is doing you, so there is nothing you want to explain?"

This upsetting tone made Dabarragan's eyes widen.

He never expected that Yang Jie would say such a thing.

You must know that the Chahar Department did maintain private transactions with some caravans, but most of them were found by those caravans themselves, so why talk about collusion?

What's more, this Yang Jie himself came with the caravan, so why did he come to track down the smuggling of the caravan?

This is simply a joke of the world!

Dabara froze on the spot, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

However, Jin Lian, who has rich court experience, will obviously not miss this opportunity. The so-called negotiation is endless wrangling and crooked affairs. Mr. Jin is very familiar with this. .

"I don't know that there are such things. Your envoy, do you know that my majesty has long had a decree to prohibit the smuggling of goods by the people. This is a felony. Since the Chahar department has surrendered to me, it should respect your majesty's decree. Why? Keep in touch with smugglers in secret and destroy the mutual market?"

Ah this...

Although he knew that the other party was making excuses, the feeling of oppression was completely different when he said it from Yang Jie's mouth and from Jin Lian's mouth.

Dabarakan frowned and was about to speak, but Yang Jie beside him said in a strange way.

"Your Excellency, the Governor is demanding. The Chahar tribe is one of the large tribes on the grassland. Don't say it was secretly smuggled. It is not uncommon to indulge the tribes under your command to harass the border."

"What's more, when I went to the grassland this time, I met many nobles from the Chahar tribe. Many of them felt that the opening of the Ming Dynasty's mutual market was because they were afraid of the power of the grassland and had to do it. How could they care about your majesty? What about the decrees that have been made?"

As soon as the words fell, a cold snort came.

Everyone looked up, but they saw that the voice was Yang Hong, who was wearing armor and had a gloomy face. This veteran stared at the group of people opposite him coldly, but he was speaking to Jin Lian. .

"Governor Jin, this Marquis has long said that those thieves are fearful of prestige and not virtuous. When the court wanted to open a mutual market, Ben Marquis once told His Majesty that it was impossible. However, all the officials in the court thought that the king was moral. It can be said that as long as the mutual market is opened, all the ministries of the grassland can be convinced of Daming, how is it now?"

"Not only did those generations not want to appreciate His Majesty's grace, but they regarded the imperial court's prohibition, the mutual market regulations as nothing, colluded with merchants, smuggled goods, and plundered the border on the occasion of private transactions. The third-rank imperial court officials, if you continue to indulge, I am afraid that the next step is to ask me to sacrifice the city and cede the land."

"Such ungrateful and ignorant people should have banned the trade, let them fend for themselves, smashed their lairs, and raised the prestige of our frontier army!"

What he said was chilling and full of murderous intent.

As a result, several messengers present seemed to feel that there was an invisible knife, as if it had been placed on their necks.

Yang Hong's words, if there is no personal resentment, I am afraid no one will believe them, but the problem is that even if it is mixed with personal emotions, Yang Hong's status is there, what matters is not why he As for the murderous intent, the important thing is that he holds the army of the Xuanfu in his hands, and with this ability, he can have the murderous intent.

None of the envoys thought that they had come to Xingshi to inquire about crimes, but in the blink of an eye, they became the objects of questioning and threats.

This role change was so fast that many people didn't realize it, but soon, their eyes turned to Dabarragan who was aside.

Although the several departments came together, it was only a short-term alliance. They are not clear about the internal situation of each department, and it is impossible to be clear about each other.

Therefore, at this time, even if they want to help the Chahar Ministry to argue, there is no way. Fortunately, after a short moment of stunned, Dabarragan quickly realized that the other party can no longer continue to control the right to speak up.

You know, before coming here this time, they all felt that Daming would not go to war easily, but with the arrival of Yang Hong, and Jin Lian's tough attitude during the negotiation process, coupled with the Xuanfu these days, it is true and false. It was rumored everywhere that the emperor of Ming Dynasty was secretly looking for an opportunity to launch a war. All these signs made them start to waver.

Under such circumstances, once the other party gets a real reason, they may really take the opportunity to start a war. They are not here to really want to fight...
