Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 1008
The north wind blew past, and the sky began to snow sporadically.

Standing on the tower, Jin Lian looked at Yang Jie with a hint of disbelief.

If his speculation is true, then this young man Yang Jie is too scary.

You must know that among so many Vala nobles, it is possible to accurately find a person like Ala Zhiyuan who has long been opposed to him. If he hadn't colluded with him in advance, he would be simply a monster.

Yang Jie obviously knew what Jin Lian was thinking, and shook his head with a wry smile, saying.

"Your Excellency, the Governor, thinks highly of the officials. Although I said that I have made a lot of preparations before rushing to the grassland, after all, the officials are only new to the grasslands. There are many Oala nobles, and they are cruel and cunning. How could the officer guess it?"

Jin Lian was taken aback for a moment, and then he himself laughed at himself.

It should be said that the incidents created by Yang Jie's grassland and his party were so unimaginable that even Jin Lian began to feel that his actions were a little miraculous.

"It's true that I think Mr. Yang is too good. Yes, first of all, although his actions are becoming more and more brutal, this brutal method is precisely to establish his authority and prevent rebels from appearing."

"Therefore, within Wala, anyone who shows signs of dissatisfaction must have been killed by him, and those who can survive must be well hidden, and they will be suspicious before they are provoked."

"However, this makes me more and more curious. Behind the civil strife in Wala, how did Lord Yang plan his strategy? Or, Lord Yang will not tell me that the civil strife in Wala has nothing to do with Lord Yang, right?"

Yang Jie was teased, and looked a little shy, and cupped his hands.

"Your Excellency Governor, it is clear that there are indeed subordinate officials who have contributed to this matter."

"Then tell me..."

Jin Lian glanced at Yang Hong and said with a smile.

If he and Yang Hong were just chatting just now, then after Yang Hong asked Yang Jie to come over, Jin Lian roughly understood Yang Hong's intentions.

This time Yang Jie rushed to the grassland, and he did a lot of things that cannot be put on the table, that is to say, it is impossible to express his merits to him.

Otherwise, it would not be impossible to worship a general and become a marquis based on his achievements in cooperating vertically and horizontally and disturbing the situation in the grassland.

But, not to mention Yang Jie's going out this time, many things are his own ideas, not out of holy will, even if it is just talking about his methods, most of them are provocations, which cannot be brought to the table .

Especially now that all the ministries have come to ask for an explanation, if they admit it, then the relationship between Daming and the various ministries will deteriorate rapidly, and it is not a good thing for Yang Jie himself.

In addition to these, there are some more detailed details. Guang Jinlian knows that there is such a big thing as forging imperial edicts hidden.

Although the emperor faintly hinted that he didn't care about it, but if he wanted to give credit, all the details of the trip to the grassland would have to be questioned by the court officials. But I can't tell.

Therefore, it is impossible to teach gong. On the surface, Yang Jie went to the grassland to inquire about news, or in his own words, to investigate the smuggling businessman.

However, such a great achievement, of course, cannot be wasted. Although it is impossible to put it in the court, it does not mean that it cannot be known.

Now there is a lot of rumors about Yang Jie Grassland and his party in the court. Although no one dares to guess his forgery of the imperial decree, it is precisely because of this that he spreads his miraculous skills even more.

Some say that he has a brilliant tongue, travels among all parties, and speaks eloquently to persuade all parties with one mouth. Some say that he paid a lot of money to buy off the nobles of various ministries, and some say that he has been sick and weak for many years. In fact, he has excellent martial arts skills, and he did it himself.

In short, all kinds of theories are clamoring, but there is only one thing that remains unchanged, that is, the situation in the grassland is indeed inseparable from Yang Jie.

Although Jin Lian was not in the capital, he could guess that the emperor's acquiescence was behind these rumors.

As for the intention, it was naturally to pave the way for the reuse of Yang Jie.

In the final analysis, Yang Jie is young after all, has no qualifications, and has no credit. If he rashly steps into the court and is promoted, it will inevitably cause discussions.

Therefore, he needs these credits to support him. For ordinary ministers, those disturbing rumors are enough.

However, for many important ministers in the court, these rumors alone cannot convince them.

To make them acquiesce in Yang Jie's promotion, more and more detailed inside information is needed.

These words can only be said in private, but they have to be said.

Therefore, it is necessary to have an important minister with sufficient status in the court and no direct interest relationship with the Yang family to selectively pass on these inside information.

Jin Lian... just right!
There is no one else around right now, so Yang Jie can boldly tell part of the truth, and Jin Lian can also listen with confidence.

As for what to do next, Jin Lian will naturally have a sense of proportion.

So Yang Jie continued.

"My lord governor, I really didn't know that the Ara Zhiyuan had objections. Even, I was very surprised by his attack this time. The official thought that the most likely one should be Wala Pingzhang Angke, but he never expected that the one who made the move in the end would be Ala Zhiyuan."

Hearing this, Yang Xin asked with a frown.

"Since I don't know, is it really a coincidence this time?"

"of course not!"

Yang Jie shook his head, his eyes turned to the distance, it seemed to be somewhere faintly, and he said leisurely.

"Brother, just like what Governor Jin said just now, with the means after the battle of Shawo, there must be someone in Wala who is dissatisfied with him, but this person or these people must be hiding very deeply, otherwise, You can't escape Yexian's butcher's knife."

"If you want to stir up civil strife in Oala, the most important thing is to find these people, but the problem is that my understanding of Oirat is only on paper. Although I came to Oirat later, it is almost impossible to know such inside information. possible."

"So, I went to Bodu!"

"Bodu?"

Yang Xin repeated a sentence, but still didn't understand what it meant.

At this time, Yang Hong on the side seemed to understand something, and said softly.

"Yes, there are many nobles in Oala, and the situation is intricate, so it is difficult for us to detect the troubles in it, but someone will always know."

Yang Jie nodded and said.

"Father is right. Before I left, I visited Dingxiang Marquis Guo Zongbing in Datong. He had dealt with Bodu many times. According to Guo Zongbing, Bodu was deeply loved by Yexian. trust."

"At the same time, he has a wide network of contacts in Wala, he is good at dancing, and many nobles have a close relationship with him. More importantly, this person is deeply scheming and cautious in his actions."

"The most important thing is...he is afraid of death!"

"fear death?"

Jin Lian frowned, a little puzzled.

So, Yang Jie explained.

"Yes, according to Mr. Guo, this person is very afraid of death."

"During the first battle of Oara, he was in charge of leading an army to garrison outside Datong City. Later, Yanghekou was breached, and Guo Zongbing led an army to attack the army led by Bodu. If the opponent fights with all his strength, he will be able to fight for more. However, at that time, Bodu had no fighting intentions and retreated steadily, and was wounded by a small soldier and fled back to the grassland."

"When I visited Mr. Guo in Datong, he always felt a little strange when he told me about it. Although swords and swords had no eyes on the battlefield, with the combat power of Bodu, being hacked by an ordinary soldier was quite strange. It is unusual, therefore, Guo Zongbing speculated at the time that Bo was afraid of retreating here and would be blamed first, so he deliberately injured himself to find a reason to escape."

"The leader of Tangtang, the younger brother of Ye Xian, saw the first signs of defeat, so he made such a plan to escape, naturally because he was afraid of death!"

"Of course, even so, after this battle, Bodu still aroused Yexian's vigilance. This is what happened when the mission arrived in Wala and saw it outside the old camp."

"I see……"

Jin Lian twitched his beard and nodded. He had also read the military newspapers of the Datong War, but no matter how detailed the military newspapers were, it was impossible for them to be so detailed.

Only a person like Guo Deng who has personally experienced the war can describe the details in detail.

As far as this is concerned, the reason why Yang Jie was able to work together on the grassland was not unreasonable. At least if he was replaced, he would ask Guo Deng about his understanding of Bodu, but he would never ask in such detail.

After all, Jin Lian is a transparent person. After hearing Yang Jie's explanation, he had already vaguely guessed something. After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said.

"Bodu is good at dancing, so he must have much more understanding and information about the nobles of Oaradang than we do. In other words, Bodu will at least be aware of whoever is dissatisfied in the center of Oaradang."

"However, if there is no evidence for this kind of thing, Bo will not talk nonsense, especially after the first battle in Shawo, he is sensitive and suspicious, and his methods are tyrannical. Attacking other nobles first, it is easy to think that he is killing people with a knife and has other intentions."

"So, as long as Bodu can be pushed into a desperate situation, then he will naturally find a way to kill Ye first, in order to save himself!"

After knowing the situation that Yang Jie has mastered, deduction according to this idea, in fact, the means used are not difficult to guess.

While talking, Jin Lian turned his gaze back to Yang Jie and said.

"If I'm not wrong, Mr. Yang must have done something before he left Oara, to provoke the relationship between Bodu and Yexian, right?"

Judging from the military newspaper from Wala, after Yang Jie left, Bodu was also imprisoned first. Jin Lian would not believe it if there was no Yang Jie's handwriting behind it.

Yang Jie hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly and said.

"That's true. When I first came to the Turghute Department, I made two preparations. If Bodu had objected to it, he could just repeat the old tricks. But the facts have proved that Bodu is even more cunning. He handed over the subordinate directly to him and dealt with it first."

"So, the lower official had to change his strategy and try to provoke the relationship between the two."

"Then how do you do it?"

Jin Lian continued to ask.

Asked about this matter, Yang Jie seemed to hesitate a bit, pondered for a moment, then he cupped his hands.

"Your Excellency, speaking of this matter, it's not in accordance with the rules. Therefore, the subordinate officials must first apologize to the Governor."

Seeing this situation, Jin Lian was a little speechless.

Don't you guys do too many unruly things?

Although there is no evidence, it is almost inseparable. I have done all the forgery of imperial edicts. What else could be more unruly?

After a few words of slander in his heart, Jin Lian still had a warm smile on his face, and said.

"Let's say first, as long as it's not a big treason, I will intercede for you before His Majesty."

Therefore, Yang Jie opened his mouth to speak.

"To tell you the truth, my lord, when I went to the grassland this time, as a cover, the lower official did bring a large amount of supplies into the grassland."

"These materials were originally used to bribe Agadorji, but the officials took it upon themselves to sell these materials to several small tribes that had done business with the caravan."

Jin Lian looked at Yang Jie with a puzzled expression.

What kind of unruly thing is this?
When Yang Jie entered the grassland this time, he was using the identity of a smuggler as a cover, so it was normal to carry some supplies for trading.

As for the specific use, since it is on the grassland, it is natural to adapt to the situation, everything depends on Yang Jie, that's all, as for asking Yang Jie to plead guilty in advance?
Seeing this situation, Yang Jie continued.

"The officials did not exchange these materials for other materials of equivalent value. Instead, they borrowed two hundred cavalry from each of these tribes. In the end, they formed a cavalry team of about a thousand people."

"what?"

Jin Lian frowned suddenly, looking at Yang Jie's eyes, he also became a little surprised.

However, it only took a moment for him to react, no wonder Yang Jie was so cautious.

It is one thing to do business with foreigners, but it is another thing to buy foreign troops. If it is placed in the Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as a felony of raising private soldiers.

Even on the grassland, Yang Jie's actions could easily lead to some unnecessary associations, making people feel that he was colluding with foreigners.

After pondering for a moment, Jin Lian asked directly.

"Where are these people now?"

"It has been dismissed!"

Yang Jie shook his head and said.

"I exchanged the supplies I brought with several small tribes, and asked them to lend their manpower to escort me for a month. I got some obsolete weapons in my hands, and disguised these people as cavalry from the Tumed Department."

"Later, there was a civil strife in Tatar, and all the ministries were looking for me. I used this cavalry to escape to the Turghut tribe in Bodu."

"At that time, I dismissed the cavalry and let them go back to their own tribes."

After saying this, Jin Lian's brows were still furrowed, but he didn't continue to ask questions. After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said.

"You continue to say..."

Seeing this situation, Yang Jie did not continue to entangle in this matter, but turned back to the topic, said.

"At that time, I was handed over to Yexian by Bodu. In order to protect myself, I claimed that Bodu invited me here, intending to use my strength to kill Yexian."

"Of course Yexian didn't believe it, but I told him that I brought a thousand-man cavalry from Tumed's department, and they had already hid in order to delay time."

"I was fooled first, locked me up, and then sent someone to investigate."

"In the end, I couldn't find anything, because I borrowed these people from various ministries, and they were dismissed before arriving at the Torghut Ministry, so naturally, I couldn't find any trace of them."

"However, when I fled from Tatar, many people had seen this cavalry. In addition, I left some weapons on purpose to confuse Yexian. Therefore, I thought logically that I really never The Tumed Department has received an elite cavalry force."

"And now, this elite cavalry is nowhere to be seen, and it may threaten Ye Xian's life at any moment, but unfortunately, I have already been arrested, so..."

At this point, Yang Jie stopped and did not continue.

So, Jin Lian twisted his beard and thought for a moment, squinted his eyes, and said logically.

"So, from Yexian's point of view, this cavalry is very likely to be swallowed up by Bodu!"
