Fenghou

Yang Wenjie hesitated and said, "Father, I don't know if my son should say something or not?"

Yang Zaixing glanced at the second son, the enlightening words of the second son just now saved him from making a big mistake, and he began to look at the second son differently.

"you say!"

"Father, although this matter has been spread throughout the Taixue and the imperial court, the Son of Heaven has always been a man of great talent and boldness. He will not believe it just because of a few words of nonsense from the eldest brother. If he arrests his father and puts him in prison, it will chill the hearts of all the soldiers in the world. He will definitely continue to reuse his father, and use this gesture to prove to the soldiers of the three armies that he will not do things like "the cunning rabbit will die, and the running dog will cook". It's over."

Yang Zaixing couldn't believe that these words were spoken by the mediocre and incompetent second son, and he was completely impressed. He waved to the eldest son in disgust, "Get out and wake up, I'll deal with you later!"

Yang Wenyuan stood up and glanced at Yang Wenjie jealously. He began to wonder if his second brother was messing with him behind his back, trying to deprive his eldest son of his inheritance.

Seeing his brother's jealous eyes, Yang Wenjie sighed in his heart, it was his misfortune to have such a white-eyed brother.

Yang Zaixing asked again: "In your opinion, what should I do now as a father?"

"Father's most urgent task is to clarify the situation. What exactly did the eldest brother say? Is this the only thing?"

Yang Zaixing gritted his teeth and said, "That idiot, he probably wouldn't admit it even if he was killed?"

"The boy suggested that father ask the inner guard, what exactly did the elder brother say?"

"Ask the inner guard?"

Yang Zaixing hesitated, "I'm afraid the Son of Heaven will know immediately!"

Yang Wenjie sighed and said, "My son's intention is to let the emperor know that my father knows nothing about this matter."

Only then did Yang Zaixing suddenly realize that this step is very clever!He told the emperor through the mouth of the inner guard that he had no knowledge.

"and then?"

"Then my father went to plead guilty. In front of all court officials, he made a gesture of pleading guilty. The humbler his father's posture, the more face he would give to the emperor, and the matter would be settled."

"As long as the crisis can be resolved, I don't care about face. You are right, I will go to the inner guard!"

Yang Zaixing was really emotional and really blamed himself. He never thought that his unloved second son, who was taciturn since he was a child, would solve his worries and problems at the critical moment. This child's intelligence was completely buried by himself.

However, the eldest son whom he loved in every possible way since he was a child and who gave him unlimited expectations brought him a catastrophe.

Yang Zaixing found Zhong Huan, and in the guest hall, Zhong Huan looked puzzled: "According to the internal guard system, I can't disclose the investigation report to the person concerned, please forgive me, General!"

Yang Zaixing sighed and said: "That evil son of my family dared to do anything, he cried desperately when he beat him, he refused to admit anything, there is no way, in fact, the second son told me all the rebellious things he said, but I think I know, how many times did he say it, besides those rebellious words, what other stupid things did he say?"

Zhong Huan was silent for a moment and said: "I can only tell the general, he said it more than once, and besides, the general should not have any wrong thoughts about the people around your majesty."

"what!"

Yang Zaixing stood up in shock. He immediately understood that it must be the twin sisters. He said a few words of envy, but it was at home, and he was turned out by that beast.

Yang Zaixing stomped his feet in hatred, "This bastard is going to kill me!"

Zhong Huan hurriedly persuaded: "General, don't be afraid. Your Majesty has a broad mind and is a wise king who works hard. He will not anger the founding heroes just because of a few women. I can tell that His Majesty is just smiling, and he is not angry."

Yang Zaixing felt a little relieved, but he also knew that no matter what happened, he was going to ask the emperor for guilt.

After Yang Zaixing left, Zhong Huan immediately went to the palace to report the investigation to the emperor.

In the imperial study room, Zhong Huanhui reported: "The subordinates have investigated several manors of the Yang family, including secretly buying the internal stewards. They all said that there is no sign of recruiting Zhuang Ding or storing weapons, and there are no secret rooms in each manor. Then the humble job was to investigate Jingzhao Fuxue. Yang Wenyuan studied here from the age of 12 to 17. According to the professor of Fuxue, Yang Wenyuan has always been very arrogant in Fuxue. He always brought out his father to suppress his classmates, saying at every turn, If you dare to provoke me, I will ask my father to lead soldiers to kill you. More than one professor said this. Just no apology."

"These investigations are not exaggerated!"

"Everything Weichen said is true, there is no exaggeration."

Chen Qing nodded, "It seems that the tutoring of the Yang family has failed!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the eldest son of the Yang family failed in education, but the second and third sons are very good, especially the second son is in charge of the family business, very low-key, and never said that he is the son of Yang Zaixing. Last year, their manor was in dispute with the people. Water, he was beaten by grumpy villagers, and he finally ran to apologize, which is the opposite of his brother."

"Is his second son also a legitimate son?"

"The eldest son was born to Fa's wife, and the second son was born to a concubine. But after Fa's wife passed away, the concubine was raised up, so he is considered half a legitimate son."

At this time, Yang Tai stepped forward quickly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, General Yang is outside to plead guilty!"

Chen Qing was startled, and hurried out, only to see Yang Zaixing at the entrance of the main hall, naked to the waist, kneeling on the ground with a tree branch behind his back, pleading guilty.

"My humble minister, Yang Zaixing, is not strict in teaching his son, and I have come here to plead guilty to His Majesty!"

Chen Qing sighed, "Let me tell you!"

Chen Qing hurriedly stepped forward to support him, untied the branches on his back, took the coat from the guard and put it on him.

"You are my Xiangguo, you can't do this anymore, if you do this, I will be dismissed!"

Yang Zaixing was so moved that tears came out, he said with tears in his eyes, "My minister is too arrogant to indulge the child, and finally hurt himself!"

"Every family has a difficult scripture to recite, let's go! Go sit in the house."

Chen Qing brought Yang Zaixing to the imperial study room and asked his subordinates to serve tea. At this time, Zhong Huan had already left.

Chen Qingyu said earnestly: "We are all superiors. We must deal with problems calmly and rationally. We must not be unprincipled or overly demanding. As an adult, your eldest son has made a lot of inappropriate remarks in public, which has a very bad influence on him. It is impossible for you to have no influence. After all, the entire court is waiting to see how I will handle this matter.
But you said that because the child was ignorant and said a few arrogant words, I decided that you, Yang Zaixing, were going to rebel, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?I don't know if Yang Zaixing wants to rebel or not, and I still need your child to remind me? "

"Your Majesty, I really don't have any wrong thoughts!"

"I know, but your son's inappropriate remarks have caused a very bad influence, so I have to deal with it. To deal with this matter, I have grasped two principles. First, I don't target your son. Your son is not hurting you." I, but you, how to deal with your son is your family business, I will not interfere, but I hope you will not mutilate him, let alone kill him, otherwise I will not be able to get along with you in the future."

"Weichen didn't want to kill him, but just wanted him to face the wall and think for a year."

"I don't interfere with your family affairs, but your second son is good, he has a kind heart and is worth cultivating."

"Wei Chen understands!"

Chen Qing smiled and continued: "The second principle, you can no longer lead the army, this is the harm caused to you by your son's remarks, so I consider letting you be the Prime Minister, this is for your own good, so that you can avoid Being hurt by public opinion is like pulling out the firewood from the bottom of the pot, taking away the firewood below, and the boiling water above will naturally subside."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"

Chen Qing handed an envelope on the table to Yang Zaixing, "This is a hot spring manor in Lantian County. It's not big, only [-] acres. It's just a small mountain. There is a hot spring inside. It's very good for physical recuperation. Go and recuperate for a few days. , come back ten days later to serve as a privy envoy to participate in the internal affairs hall."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Zaixing left with a thousand thanks.

That night, Chen Qing issued an imperial edict to remove Yang Zaixing from all military positions such as Marshal of the Northern Capital, Commander of the Upper Army, and General of Hussars. Fu Yi Tong Sansi.

Yang Zaixing turned from the former leader of military generals to an out-and-out civilian prime minister.
