Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 567
A lot of people just thought it was a little subtle and strange at first, but now after seeing this imperial decree and looking back, it suddenly feels that it is so true.

"Of course we can't find any problems with Yang Yan's background, because there is indeed a person like Yang Yan." Lin Yan held the yellowed imperial decree in his hand with a complicated expression, and his eyes fell on the few hundred words without moving back and forth.

That Mrs. Yang has a clean family background and comes from a scholarly family.After getting married, they had a son, but her husband died not long after.She raised the child by herself, and the child was competitive enough to become the only champion in Gusu City who won the triple award in the past hundred years.Although he happened to be in troubled times by chance, and his ambition was not rewarded immediately, but when the new dynasty was established, after years of layout, he jumped up and became the favorite minister of the emperor and the upstart of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Such a person seems to have no problem.Not only is there no problem, but the path that Yang Yan has embarked on is probably the path that children from ordinary families in this world most hope to embark on. It can be said to be an example for the poor and educated children in the world.

"The cleverness of this matter lies in the identification of Yang Yan's identity," Jiang Shaoyan said, looking at the yellowed imperial edict with a complicated expression, "With Mrs. Yang's identification, there will be no problem with his identity. "

Because it was none other than Mrs. Yang herself who led the decree and identified Yang Yan's identity with her own hands.

The few hundred words in the imperial decree are enough for them to guess what happened that year.

Everyone has selfishness, since Emperor Wen's whimsy a hundred years ago, this matter has been impossible.Not only is it impossible, but the greatest selfishness comes from the selected children themselves.

Why can't my children inherit the throne?With selfishness together, the collapse of the Dajing imperial family, which was about to collapse, collapsed even faster.

There is no other reason, the aloof "Son of Heaven" himself is the chief culprit that contributed to the collapse of Dajing.

Probably this is the so-called "rebellion" led by His Majesty!

"So the tyrant showed abnormalities when he was young, and Emperor Ren is not without suspicion of deliberately conniving." Ji Chongyan said this, but he was very calm and calm. Good time to pick."

In the final analysis, these intricate layouts are nothing more than the selfishness of all parties.

Emperor Ren pushed the foundation of Dajing's shaking with his own hands.

"So, how was Mrs. Yang selected?" Lin Yan held the yellowed imperial decree and said, "She is a commoner girl and has nothing to do with the imperial court. Why is she so loyal?"

"It's because it has nothing to do with the court, that's why I completely put aside the idea of ​​party disputes in the court, and only listen to the emperor's orders." Ji Chongyan said lightly, "Those who don't understand are the best to control."

Of course, not everyone who doesn't understand can be selected as a candidate. Mrs. Yang was selected for her own reasons.

"Actually, from the teachings of the Yang family to the female family members, it can be seen that the scholarly family that Mrs. Yang came from is such a scholarly family." Jiang Shaoyan thought of the strange rules of the Yang family, and at this moment she realized more and more what those rules were. How did it come about, "What she calls reading is that she doesn't leave the door, and doesn't step in the second door. What she teaches is the dogma that imprisons women."

Therefore, the female family members of the Yang family always show their faces to others, and never show their faces to the outside world, because Mrs. Yang thinks this is an act of "immorality".

Of course, the female family members of the Yang family are only superficially obedient, only Mrs. Yang thinks so in her bones.

Jiang Shaoyan said lightly, "For a person like Mrs. Yang, she has been taught to obey her husband when she is married, and to obey her son when her husband dies. Her husband, the scholar surnamed Yang, was weak and in poor health since he was a child. He passed away in a few years, and the child inherited his father's physique and passed away early. As far as Mrs. Yang is concerned, she probably doesn't know why she lives anymore, and she needs something to support her life."

Parents and teachers of heaven and earth, obviously, the king's order is the greatest support for the rest of her life to her.

Emperor Ren was always restrained in front of those civil and military officials, and his skills and means seemed mediocre. This does not mean that he was really mediocre. If it is true, it should be that the children cultivated by those centuries-old clans are more capable than him.

But in front of Mrs. Yang, Emperor Ren's power and determination are enough to deal with it.The Mrs. Yang that he had carefully selected would not only give Yang Yan an unmistakable background, but also take Yang Yan seriously, even if she had to pay her own life.

Thinking of what Xiu'er said about Mrs. Yang's subtle and weird attitude towards Yang Yan, it seems that everything can be explained now.

It is more respectful to say it is loving, but it is not a mother and child, but it is actually a "monarch and minister".

With the emergence of this identity, Yang Yan who is now far away in Gusu City...

"I don't believe that a person who has been taught by everyone since he was a child to 'become a king' would be willing to live under others and be a courtier." Ji Chongyan said, "I have been told by my ears since I was a child, and I know in my bones that I am a king, how can I be worthy of being a man?" Minister? Even an incompetent person will have resentment in his heart, let alone someone like Yang Yan?"

Whether Yang Yan is a hypocrite or a villain, his behavior can be criticized, but his methods are nothing to say, he is by no means mediocre.

A capable person must prefer to do it himself and find a way to achieve his goal rather than resentment in his heart.

So, if Yang Yan is the person behind it...

"He can't be busy now." Ji Chongyan said.

Not only can there be nothing, Yang Yan is trying to find something, they should also secretly help him.

It is obviously better for the forces of the previous dynasty to go to the chessboard first.

This is the reason why they went to Xin Zhuang Haoran to let him "protect" Yang Yan.

But "protection" belongs to protection, they still need to figure out what Yang Yan is doing.

"With Zhuang Haoran's methods, he won't even get this wrong. Yang Yan is definitely looking for something," Jiang Shaoyan said, looking at Ji Chongyan, "What do you think he is looking for?"

Ji Chongyan said: "If I were him, I've been planning for many years, and what I'm looking for is a secret that can shake the foundation of Da Zhou."

Just like when Emperor Ren indulged the tyrant to go crazy, there was a problem with the foundation, and it was only when the giant tree of Da Zhou was shaken.

So, what everyone is looking for is the same.

It is idiotic to want to seize the throne by relying on a previous imperial decree. The sword points at the position of the emperor and wants to shake it. The process is actually similar.

"He's looking for the big mistake that His Majesty hid." Ji Chongyan said, "And seeing that his purpose is so clear, maybe he already knows what it is."

As Ji Chongyan said, he looked down at the crutch in Lin Yan's hand: "Maybe we can find the answer from this thing!"

What is the function of the special imprint totem?Does Dajing's tyrant know Yang Yan's true identity?Even if the tyrant doesn't know, do those Dajing old officials who shackled Emperor Ren know?Your Majesty used the hands of the tyrant to achieve what he wanted. Would the tyrant or those veteran ministers of Dajing absolutely trust His Majesty who was in control of the Dajing soldiers and horses at that time?Can you find a way to leave something behind?
Those people standing on the Golden Throne Hall are the most intelligent and scheming group of people in the world. Would they really allow the tyrant to make such a mistake?

Ji Chongyan thought it was impossible.

When Dajing was overthrown, what would those old ministers who were loyal to Dajing do?
At that time, Yang Yan was the blood of the Dajing royal family, and he was just showing off. He could afford such abilities. Is it possible for those ministers to leave their last hope to Yang Yan?

Ji Chongyan thinks it is very possible.

It is reasonable for Yang Yan to know the reason.

So, is the purpose of this crutch just to hide Yang Yan's biggest secret?
This secret is of course important, but Mrs. Yang may be confused, but Yang Yan should not be confused.This secret is the icing on the cake. It would be God's will to reveal this secret when he was approaching the city, and it would be Dajing who deserved to die!But if it weren't for the time when the soldiers were approaching the city, it would be useless to reveal this secret, and he would still be a traitor who wanted to plot rebellion.

This secret is important, but not that important.What's more, the imprint totem on this crutch is so special, and the master craftsman who made it died at the time of Emperor Ren.

So, could His Majesty's mistakes be caused by Emperor Ren?Or was it a big mistake that the emperor at that time forced His Majesty to make?
With His Majesty's temperament, it may not be impossible to do such a thing.

After all, His Majesty recognizes in his bones that "those who achieve great things do not care about small things".

"I understand." Lin Yan stroked the imprint on the crutch, was silent for a moment, and said, "Three days! Within three days, I will not tell you the whole truth, but I will definitely give you a direction. "

Being able to give such a firm answer... Ji Chongyan raised his eyebrows: "Do you have any clues?"

Lin Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Asu has a brother-in-law who is still alive, and has been investigating the Ye family's frame-up all these years, and there are indeed some clues."

Whether it is the Ye family or the Zhang family, in the eyes of the world, these famous medical families and great merchants in the Central Plains are just an insignificant pawn on the chessboard of power and strategy for the world.

But Chess wanted to find out the truth about the destruction of his family, but sometimes he discovered the great secret by mistake.

It was past half hour when I came out of the tavern.

Although Chang'an City was still lively, it was actually nightfall.

Stretching out his hand to close the bamboo hat on the girl, Ji Chongyan looked down at the girl: "I'll take you back."

Today she went out with him, neither Xiangli nor Xiaowu.

The girl nodded before speaking.

One person and one rider galloped past her quickly, and the dust splashed was blown head-on, causing a burst of abuse from the side of the road.

The man on the horse didn't even bother to pay attention to these scolding people, he just ignored it and ran forward quickly.

Ji Chongyan pulled her aside long before that person rode forward, blocking most of the dust, and when the dust cleared, he looked at the girl, but saw the girl watching the person's leaving back, revealing Suspicious: "That's..."

"Longxi General Li." Ji Chongyan glanced at the direction in which the rider was leaving, with a calm expression, "It should be that his son disappeared with his five thousand private soldiers."

The disappearance of the son is a major event, and the disappearance of five thousand private soldiers is also a major event.No wonder General Li ran all the way like this, allowing others to abuse him without saying a word.

Jiang Shaoyan also knew something about the Li family in Longxi. Hearing this, she couldn't help but said: "You said... For him, which is more important, the disappearance of his son or the disappearance of five thousand private soldiers?"

Of course, she knew how Li Xuan and the five thousand private soldiers "disappeared", but she couldn't help being curious.

"In fact, it's all important." Ji Chongyan said, "Although he said that he has more than one son, if he really only has one son, he would be more jealous than kind to the eldest son. Li Xuan's disappearance is not a good thing for him."

"However, the trouble of the disappearance of five thousand private soldiers is imminent, so General Li, who has no private soldiers in his hands, is going back to grab soldiers and horses with his son." Ji Chongyan said.

The civil strife of the Longxi Army is about to begin.

……

"What about you?" The girl stood still and looked up at him, "Li Xuanjing is very useful. The small but elite soldiers around him are suitable for surprise attacks. Although this is equally important on the battlefield, it can be Who are you going to hand over the most important position of the chief general?"

Ji Chongyan looked at the girl who was looking at him, the girl's eyes were bright and there was a hint of a smile, as if she had already guessed the answer.

The descendants of the Zhao family's blood seem to be born with great talent for leading troops in battle.

His Majesty is like this, General Zhao is like this, so is he.

From that day, the moment he pointed to the Dazhou map and clicked on the mountains and rivers, she knew that the person in front of her had been waiting for that day.

"But it's not the time yet," Ji Chongyan said, "We'll wait until Yang Yan officially sits on the chess game."

Speaking of Yang Yan sitting on the chess game, the girl stopped suddenly and asked Ji Chongyan: "Do you think Yang Yan will return to Chang'an?"

The soldiers and horses searched the stockade was not done in private, since Zhuang Haoran can pass the news of this matter to her, know that others will not pass it to His Majesty.

With His Majesty's scheming, wouldn't he have doubts about Yang Sheng?

Yang Yan is unlikely to make such a mistake, unless...

"There are two possibilities." Ji Chongyan said, "First, those soldiers and horses have already been replaced by his people. Except for Zhuang Haoran, these people will not reveal what they have done. As for Zhuang Haoran, he It's Wang San's person... If Wang San really knows about these things, he won't say much."

Originally, Yang Yan was a courtier, and it was right for the courtiers to fight among factions, but if Yang Yan changed his identity and might become the king, then he would no longer be an opponent to Wang San, and he would definitely not say a word, and would even betray him on purpose. it is good.

If not, where did the aristocratic clans that survived the changing dynasties come from?What kind of people Wang San and these people are, Yang Yan will not be unclear.

It's just that Yang Yan didn't think of Zhuang Haoran, oh no, in Yang Yan's eyes, he was just a pawn. This pawn named Zhuang Haoran was not so obedient. Instead, he told them about the matter, so that they would accidentally know about it. .

Of course, this is only the first case, and there is a second case.

"If the soldiers and horses are not replaced by his people, then he doesn't care, and he doesn't care that His Majesty knows this." Ji Chongyan said, looking in the direction of the imperial city, "After all, he stayed here in Chang'an, so As far as he is concerned, he can give up at any time."

Whether it's Mrs. Yang Wei, Miss Yang Yang Weixian or Yang Xianzhi from the palace, these people are not important to Yang Yan and can be discarded at any time.Therefore, it is useless to threaten Yang Yan with these people.

"If that's the case, he's almost ready, and he can overturn the chessboard and become a chess master at any time." Ji Chongyan said, "All we have to do is give him a push, give him a boost, and let him go to the table as soon as possible. "

He and Ayan are married, although Ayan doesn't mind wandering with him, but he doesn't want the two of them to spend a long time in wandering.

Some things are not guaranteed to be good if you take it slowly. Right now, the opportunity is in front of you. Naturally, you should seize it, start it as soon as possible, and end it as soon as possible.

Everything he has now comes from the Duke's Mansion, from the so-called "His Majesty's love". Although these are all things he was born with, but marrying Ayan, he still wants to have his own things.
