Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 774 Depressed Young Master
It should be said that Yang Jie himself is smart enough, but he is young after all and has no real contact with government affairs, so he lacks experience.

At this moment, with a little dial from Yang Hong, he understood.

"Father means that His Majesty is afraid of me?"

This conclusion sounds a bit ridiculous, even when Yang Jie said it, it felt a bit unreal.

How could he, a mere scion from a family with no title or fame, who was frail and sickly, make the emperor jealous?
However, everything in front of me points to this, which is absurd but real.

"But why?"

"Because you are the son of my Yang Hong! The son of Changping Houfu!"

Yang Hong raised his eyes slightly, a trace of pride flashed across his face.

While talking, he pointed to the memorial in front of him and said.

"It's a deal between you and Zhu Yi to intercede for Duke Cheng's mansion, but, as you and my father and son guessed before, the Son of Heaven is actually dissatisfied with the status quo of being prosperous and weak!"

Mentioning this, Yang Jie is very clear.

In fact, at least half of the content of this memorial was proposed by him and persuaded Yang Hong to write it.

To put it bluntly, this memorial uses the Battle of Yaoerling as an excuse, and its core purpose is to regain the honorable family's lack of voice in the court due to the failure of civil engineering.

The reason why Yang Jie dared to do this was because he was sure that the emperor actually intended to change the current situation of the court.

It is not a good situation to use literature to control martial arts in front of Yin Jian of the former Song Dynasty. Yang Jie believes that the emperor is very clear about this.

However, due to the various consequences brought about by the civil war, this trend has actually appeared now. Therefore, Yang Jie published this memorial not only to fulfill his promise, to speak out for Xungui, but also to please the emperor.

It is also because of this that Yang Jie dared to talk about the relationship between civil and military affairs in Qianqing Palace, and even used the debate between Confucianism and Legalism to explain his point of view.

Yang Hong looked at his son in front of him, his expression was also very complicated, with pride, worry, and worry, he sighed and continued.

"Most of this memorial is written by you. Judging from today's situation, the emperor should have seen this."

"On the one hand, you have an accurate grasp of the court situation, and you are able to make the most of the situation. This is a strategy. Dare to stand out and balance civil and military affairs when civil servants are so powerful. This is courage. Above the court, a brave and resourceful young man, and Not too much, so the Son of Heaven has the intention of approving and reusing you."

"However, on the other hand, your understanding of the debate between Confucianism and Legalism makes the emperor feel that you will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. Although you are wise and brave, you lack the heart to uphold justice."

"Because of this, the emperor is very contradictory to you."

"He wants to reuse you, let you enter the court as an official and serve the country, but he is also afraid that your disposition will cause disaster."

Now, Yang Jie understood completely.

As Yang Hong said, his identity is different from others. He is Yang Hong's legitimate son and the future heir of the Changping Marquis Mansion.

One must know that the reason why Yang Jie dared to go to this memorial was not only because he had pinpointed the emperor's thoughts, but more importantly, he knew very well that the only person who could do this for the emperor was Changping Houfu!
Nowadays, it is hidden that the court is prosperous and the military is weak, and the ministers who are trusted by the emperor, whether it is Yu Qian, Wang Wen, Yu Shiyue, or Chen Yi, are all civil servants.

This level of identity is naturally determined, and it is impossible for them to contribute to the balance of civil and military.

As for the nobles, the emperor has been working hard for this. First, he pardoned Gu Xingzu and others, and then supported Li Xian, Fan Guang and a series of nobles.

However, the nobles have developed to the present, and the relationship is complicated. The honored ministers of the British government obviously want to get close to Nangong.

They are naturally willing to expand the noble power, but the emperor may not dare to hand over the expanded power to them.

As for Li Xian, Gu Xingzu and the others, they were more than successful, less aggressive, and had congenital defects. Although Fan Guang was in the limelight, he was not qualified enough and moved too fast, which was not a good thing for him.

In this way, in fact, only the Marquis of Changping is the most suitable.

In terms of seniority, Yang Hong has traveled to the border for decades and has made a lot of military exploits.

In terms of title, the honor of Marquis is second only to those crumbling mansions.

More importantly, after the confrontation with Ren Li, the whole court saw how powerful Yang Hong was.

Moreover, after that incident, the Marquis of Changping was relieved of a big burden and could go into battle lightly.

Under such circumstances, it is actually most appropriate for Yang Hong to come forward to balance civil and military affairs.

However, this goes back to the original question.

Yang Jie!

As the direct son of Yang Hong and the heir of the Changping Marquis Mansion, he is bound to inherit the political heritage of the Changping Marquis Mansion in the future and holds a pivotal position in the court.

Under such circumstances, Yang Jie is a brave and resourceful person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. How can the emperor rest assured of such a person?
Thinking of this, Yang Jie couldn't help sweating on his forehead.

He is indeed still too young, he only thinks about the immediate matter, only thinks about the future of the Marquis of Changping, but ignores his sensitivity to danger as an emperor.

However, it's not over yet.

Yang Hong paused slightly, and then spoke meaningfully.

"Jie'er, you are still young, this is probably what worries His Majesty the most!"

"But what you have to understand is that Your Majesty is a talent from heaven, a rare sage monarch, not every emperor can lift weights like His Majesty!"

If Yang Jie is already a mature man, then no matter what kind of temperament he is, the emperor will use him, because with the emperor in one day, he can suppress Yang Jie.

In other words, as Yang Jie said, the use of Confucianism and usage is in the mind of the emperor, and the emperor has a sense of when and what means to use.

But what about future emperors?
When Yang Jie enters the court, he is bound to become the favored minister of the Tian family, and in this case, he is likely to be an important minister in the future.

When the emperor is around, he will naturally not make mistakes, but if the successor is a mediocre emperor, then Yang Jie's methods can easily lead the whole country into the abyss.

Even Yang Hong himself has to admit that if Yang Jie has always been like this, then in the future, he may become a treacherous minister who only respects the imperial power and has no morals.

This kind of person, there is one in the court now, the famous eunuch Shu Liang, the admiral of Dongchang, is such a person!
In a sense, Yang Jie is very similar to him.

However, Shu Liang's status as an eunuch naturally restricted him, but Yang Jie was different. If he inherited the title, he would be like Shu Liang, trusted by the heavenly family, and be the emperor's eagle dog.

Then the court will be in turmoil.

Such a scene, is it what the emperor, who has been pursuing the stability of the court, wants to see?

Therefore, even if there is a slight possibility, the emperor will kill it!

This is probably the biggest reason why the Son of Heaven has the intention to kill.

"Father, then... what should we do now? Or, my son resigned as the governor?"

After all, Yang Jie is young, and knowing it is one thing, but in terms of stability in the face of danger, ten of them together may not be able to compare with a battle-hardened Yang Hong.

Seeing Yang Jie's flustered look, Yang Hong shook his head, raised his hand to comfort him, and said.

"You don't have to worry. Since you walked out of the Qianqing Palace safely today, it means that the emperor still trusts my Yang family. After all, you are still young, and your Majesty is still young. As long as you don't make mistakes in the future, you will naturally be able to restore the love in your majesty's heart." of the image."

With that said, Yang Hong pointed to the imperial decree at hand and said.

"Jinyiwei Town Fushi, this is not a high-ranking official position, but ordering you to assist Yu Shaobao in rectifying the army, this is an opportunity that can't be met."

"Don't look at Yu Shaobao's tough personality, he repeatedly contradicts His Majesty, and seems to often make His Majesty angry, but in fact, people like him are the ones His Majesty admires the most."

"Now, His Majesty's intention of letting you come to him is actually very simple. It is to let you learn from Yu Shaobao's upright spirit."

"Father can't teach you these things. You can only rely on you to understand slowly after you get to Yu Shaobao's side!"

"If you can learn one or two tenths of Shaobao's teachings, then your Majesty can rest assured that you can handle all the affairs of the court."

"Son understands, thank father for teaching."

Yang Jie also gradually calmed down at this moment, feeling a little relieved in his heart, but feeling the expectation in his father's words, he couldn't help but dim his eyes, and laughed at himself.

"Being able to serve the country and keep the Yang family safe and prosperous is naturally what my son wishes for. Unfortunately, with his body and bones, I am afraid that he may not be able to live long. Thinking about it this way, His Majesty is too worried."

In fact, the reason why Yang Jie was so eager to go to Shu, wanting to stabilize the position for the Yang family, was of course that he was inexperienced in court matters.

But, more importantly, he has no confidence in himself. Normally, his body is weaker than others, and he will get sick easily, and when he gets sick, he is much more serious than ordinary people.

When his mother was still there, he had invited many doctors, and they all said that it was a congenital deficiency that was difficult to make up for, and that he had to take good care of it at ordinary times, and maybe he could live an ordinary life.

But later, Mrs. Yang passed away, and Yang Jie was alone in Beijing, propping up a huge Yang Mansion, welcoming and sending off, socializing and entertaining, he couldn't be idle for a moment, busy busy, his body It got worse and worse.

Hearing this, Yang Hong's face also flashed a trace of guilt, but he was not too depressed, but patted Yang Jie's shoulder and said.

"Jie'er, you don't have to be so self-pitying. Although your body has a congenital defect and lack of energy and blood, it is not a serious illness."

"I have already asked the imperial doctor of the Taiyuan Hospital, as long as you take good care of it and take care not to get sick, you will be fine. Since His Majesty has made up his mind to use you, naturally he will not let you live forever. Before leaving the palace today, Your Majesty He also specifically said that he would send an imperial physician to take care of your body, the palace medicine storehouse is full of rare medicinal materials, if you take good care of it, you will be fine."

"I hope so..."

There was a bitter smile on the corner of Yang Jie's mouth, obviously he didn't want to continue talking about this matter, so he changed the subject.

"Father, today's matter is thanks to the help of Eunuch Huai'en. If he hadn't reminded him in time, I'm afraid His Majesty would really do something to his son. He should prepare a generous gift and thank you at Eunuch Huai's mansion some other day."

It seems that a big peng like Wynn has a house outside the palace, but Wynn usually serves in the palace and rarely comes out to live.

Regarding this point, Yang Hong naturally had no opinion. He nodded his head, which was regarded as his approval, so he didn't say any more.

Yang Hong and his son were not the only ones who could not fall asleep while the candlelight was flickering.

"...This matter is very important. If you are not careful, it will lead to civil and military conflicts. Now it is the critical moment to rectify the army. In a short time, His Royal Highness will go out to study in the cabinet again. The court is full of troubles. It is really inappropriate to start turmoil again, so , Your Majesty asked Yang Hou to take Zuo Shu back first..."

In the flower hall of Cheng Guogong's mansion, Zhu Yi heard the news brought by Shu Liang, and her face was full of tears.

I said brother Yang Jie, didn't we agree to overturn the verdict in the Battle of Yaoerling?Why are you talking so much?
According to Zhu Yi's original intention, he only needed Yang Hong to intercede on behalf of Cheng Guogong's mansion, explaining that the battle at Yao'erling was not purely Zhu Yong's fault, and the subsequent civil and engineering defeats were not solely due to the incident at Yao'erling. The defeat in the war, and more importantly, Wang Zhen's random decision-making ruined the army's life.

Taking this opportunity, he can incite public opinion in the court, and then implement the next plan, and finally achieve the goal of restoring the Duke of Chengguo.

But who would have thought that Yang Jie had more room for self-display. From Yaoerling to the civil engineering battle, he scolded Wang Zhen first, then San Yang, and even the Supreme Emperor.

I even want to take this opportunity to sound the clarion call for nobles to counterattack civil servants.

At this time, blow up *!
Duke Cheng's mansion wanted to restore his title, and pointed out that this group of civil servants would not trip him up. They were all offended, so how can they restore their title?

Yang Hong came forward to speak out for the Battle of Yaoerling, which was the first step in Cheng Guogong's restoration of the title. As a result, such a moth appeared in this first step. Zhu Yi was not mad at death, she was already considered extraordinary.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Yi looked at Shu Liang on the opposite side, seeing that he was still calm, her heart couldn't help but move again, said.

"Mr. Shu, it was Zhu who lost his temper just now. However, my father's stigma is hard to get rid of. I'm afraid the title of Duke Cheng's mansion will be indefinitely again. The court affairs of Duke Cheng's mansion are small, but it may delay His Majesty thing……"

Seeing Zhu Yi's oblique hints, Shu Liang smiled, but didn't point it out, just said.

"Young Lord, don't worry, what His Majesty wants to do has not been impossible. Since the old man has promised to restore Duke Cheng's mansion, naturally you have no jokes."

"It's just that, after all these twists and turns, I'm afraid the young man will have to work harder."

"To be honest with Mr. Shu, as long as the family can be kept safe, Zhu is willing to spend no matter how much effort, but I don't know how to do it specifically?"

Seeing that there was a door, Zhu Yi immediately lifted her spirits, and asked tentatively.

So, Shu Liang said: "Speaking of which, the young man would also like to thank your father-in-law, his memorial seems to be random, but in fact, it is the key to breaking the situation for you..."

Saying that, Shu Liang leaned over, lowered his voice, and said a few words to Zhu Yi, which immediately made the latter's eyes light up.

However, after serious thinking for a moment, Zhu Yi felt hesitant again and asked.

"Shu Gonggong, is it really possible to do this?"

Shu Liang sat up straight, and asked back: "It seems a little risky, but with His Majesty around, is the little prince afraid that he won't be able to make it?"

"Okay, then I'll go to the British government!"

The night was getting dark, and soon, a carriage came out of Cheng Guogong's mansion, and rushed to another mansion in the dark...
