Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 615 Father and Son

The snow outside the window was falling one after another, and in the silent night, layers of chill accumulated.

The room was as warm as spring, Yang Jie straightened up, and there was a rare ripple in his eyes, which were always calm as water.

Although Yang Hong's sentence is a question, it is not a probing question, but a statement of facts.

He didn't ask Yang Jie if he heard what he heard, but asked how much he heard...

Looking at his father's old face, Yang Jie lowered his head and said without hesitation.

"It's not much, probably when the father asked the second brother, where is the antidote to drink poison to quench thirst, and the son just came over."

Yang Hong nodded lightly, he didn't ask why Yang Jie came so coincidentally, because he already had the answer in his heart.

Putting this page aside, Yang Hong raised his hand, signaling Yang Jie to sit opposite him, and then Fang asked.

"Now that you've heard it, why don't you tell me, how much truth do you think your second brother said?"

Yang Jie seemed to have heard something funny, shook his head and said.

"How reasonable is it?"

"The son's truth has already been told to his father, why do you need to ask again?"

"It's the son who wants to ask the father. How much does the father agree with what the second brother said just now?"

Facing Yang Jie's rhetorical question, Yang Hong fell silent with a complicated expression.

But it was only for a moment before he spoke.

"Your second brother is right in saying that the Yang family is not the Yang family of one person, but the Yang family of all Yang families, but..."

Yang Hong raised his head and looked at Yang Jie, with a little more solemnity between his brows, and said.

"If the eldest grandson of the Yang family can't decide the future of the Yang family, then the Yang family should fall apart."

Yang Hong said this sentence calmly, but it was loud!

Yang Jie was silent for a long time, then spoke.

"Thank you father."

The fire in the room was curling up, and the father and son sat opposite each other, neither saying anything.

I don't know how long it has passed, Yang Jie said.

"Father, the second brother can no longer stay in the capital."

Yang Hong didn't look surprised, nodded and said.

"Well, in recent days, the local people in the southeast have repeatedly caused rebellion. Marquis Liu Pu of Anyuan asked for a battle. This is the time when a competent general is needed. After the New Year's Eve, let your second brother serve under his tent and train hard for a few years."

After the words fell, Yang Jie raised his head, his eyes were a little more surprised.

It should be said that before he came in, he was sure to convince his father, but he didn't expect that his father would be so decisive that he even thought about Yang Neng's whereabouts.

In this way, his worry just now was actually superfluous.

Father, I never changed my mind from the beginning to the end...

At this time, Yang Jie couldn't help asking even if he could hold on.

"Father, why..."

After saying four words, Yang Jie didn't continue.

He didn't know how to ask.

During this period of time, Yang Jie has endured no less pressure than anyone else.

Undoubtedly, the matter of the military colonization is related to the foundation of the Yang family, and if one is not careful, it will be overthrown.

However, after receiving the news from Yang Xin, Yang Hong handed over the matter to Yang Jie to deal with it.

Yang Jie asked him to go to the palace to submit to the emperor, so he went, and asked him to use Yang Jun's story as a step, and he sent Yang Jun to prison.

Although he hesitated in the middle, he never changed his mind.

The emperor didn't accept the Yang family, and panic rose in Beijing, and everyone alienated Changping Hou's mansion.

Inside and outside the mansion, there were many rumors that Yang Jie, the eldest son, was afraid that his brother-in-law would seize the throne and take the opportunity to suppress him, but Yang Hong also turned a deaf ear to it.

Up to now, Yang Hong clearly understood why Yang Jie came so timely, but he still didn't point it out.

He was even willing to send Yang Neng away to support Yang Jie's decision.

You know, Liu Pu, Marquis of Anyuan, has guarded Guangxi for ten years, but the foundation of the Yang family is in the Xuanfu.

One south and one north, Yang Neng arrived in Guangxi, and it is no exaggeration to say that he started from scratch.

After placing such a big bet, father, aren't you afraid that you are wrong?

Yang Jie didn't ask, but Yang Hong obviously understood what he meant.

So, it seemed that only for a moment, Yang Jie felt that his father, who was so powerful on the battlefield and who was as green as a pine, had returned.

Yang Hong straightened his back, with a heroic smile on his face, said.

"I spent my whole life for my father. What I want is peace for my family and a peaceful border. Of course, the foundation of the Yang family is very important..."

"But, the Yang family, you can't go against the righteous way!"

While talking, Yang Hong looked into Yang Jie's eyes and said seriously.

"Xiaojie, what your second brother said about the military colonization is indeed reasonable. The atmosphere in the military is like this. If my father doesn't do it, someone will do it. They will do it even worse. They are even worse than the Yang family. They will subsidize the proceeds to the war Dead soldiers."

"So, your second brother has reasons to be dissatisfied, and also has reasons to be angry. Although the Yang family has gained fame and profits because of this, it is not without difficulties. This is the truth."

"But, among the people in this world, who makes mistakes without reason?"

"People may be able to make mistakes, but they can't justify their mistakes just because they have to."

"The ethos of the frontier army is like this. Countless people like my father may be pushing the boat with the water, or they may be forced to do so, but this is not right."

"The Yang family wants to protect themselves, but it cannot be at the cost of obstructing the court to bring order out of chaos."

"Xiaojie, do you...understand?"

Yang Jie didn't speak, he finally understood why his father kept giving in and compromising.

Because, this is the idea that my father made in his heart.

On the battlefield, his father has the consciousness of dying for the country and wrapping his corpse in horse leather. In the court situation, his old man also has the courage to sacrifice for the country.

It was never he who guided his father, but his father who guided him behind his back.

"father……"

For some reason, Yang Jie's voice was a little hoarse. He opened his mouth and called out, but he didn't know what to say.

However, there is no need for him to say anything.

Across the table, an old and powerful hand landed on his shoulder, Yang Hong said softly.

"Xiaojie, your eldest brother is both civil and military, but he is far away in Xuanfu. Your second brother is resourceful and decisive, but too arrogant. Your third brother is the best in martial arts, but he is impulsive and violent."

"The future of the Yang family depends on you to support it."

"This burden is not easy, and it is hard for you."

Yang Jie suddenly felt a soreness in his heart. The resentment towards his father for many years seemed to be poured out at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Jie tried his best to calm down, stood up, spoke solemnly, and said.

"Father, please rest assured that as long as the child is still alive, the Changping Marquis Mansion will be kept prosperous and the three elder brothers will be kept safe and peaceful."

A gratified smile appeared on Yang Hong's face, he nodded and said.

"Okay, Dad already knows that the blood of the Yang family must be Yingjie!"

He waved his hand to signal Yang Jie to sit down on the opposite side again. This time, before Yang Hong could speak, Yang Jie spoke softly.

"Father, actually, what the second brother said just now is correct in one thing."

"Oh?"

Yang Hong frowned, waiting for Yang Jie's next words.

So, he saw a sneer on Yang Jie's face, and said.

"The Yang family has indeed been silent for too long. Counting this time, the Ningyuan Hou's Mansion has made plans for my Yang family for the second time!"

While speaking, Yang Jie raised his head, looked directly into Yang Hong's gaze, and spoke seriously.

"Father, the Yang family should also show the court officials..."

"The Marquis of Changping, not just anyone, is qualified to fiddle with it!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Jie took out a New Year post from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Hong. The post was very simple, just an ordinary New Year post.

However, the inscription above is...

Duke Cheng's Mansion, Zhu Yi!
