Up to now, Yang Dan no longer hides anything, and is open and honest.

The active officials in the court, such as Zhang Yi and others, are all former students of Sanyang.

The Ming Dynasty founded the country with martial arts, and the civil servant group was suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang in the Hongwu Dynasty. In the Jianwen Dynasty, it just raised its head, but it was difficult. Zhu Di's style of doing things completely imitated his father, which was even more breathless.

It was not until the Renxuan Dynasty that the civil service group really began to grow and develop under the leadership of the cabinet Sanyang.

Among the three Yangs, Yang Shiqi was the head. However, in the eighth year of Zhengtong, something happened, which directly made this old official of the Five Dynasties lose his security at the end of the festival.

Yang Shiqi's son, Yang Ji, relying on his father as the chief assistant of the cabinet, ran amok in Taihe County, Ji'an Prefecture, his hometown, bullied men and women, and even killed people.

Although the matter was very serious, Yang Shiqi, as the chief assistant of the cabinet, wanted to suppress the matter, but it was only a matter of one sentence.

The problem is that there is a victimized victim who bypassed the local officials, rushed all the way from his hometown to the capital, and brought the case to the emperor!

Now, the matter was completely revealed. Yang Ji was arrested by Jin Yiwei and taken to the capital. The evidence was overwhelming. Yang Shiqi had no choice but to watch his son be beheaded for public display.

Discipline was lax, and he, the chief minister of the cabinet, was ashamed to continue his work. Since then, he has returned to his hometown, worried about illness, and went to reunite with his son in less than a year.

After Yang Shiqi fell, there were another Er Yang, as well as his disciples and old officials, who were still active in the court.

In terms of seniority, Yang Dan is the son of Yang Pu, and Yang Tai is the grandson of Yang Rong. One of them is in the capital and the other is in Jiangnan. As long as they secretly unite the former gentry and respond to the response of the officials, the matter will be half done.

The other half lies in military power. Civil officials control the government, but they cannot control the army.

At this time, a small episode suddenly appeared. The two supervisory censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate discovered the clue and prepared to report it.

Therefore, Yang Dan had a plan and conspired with the left deputy Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to let the two supervisors go down to investigate Yang Hong's deficit!

Because Wu Heng, the right servant of the Ministry of War, has already found out that when Yang Hong was the commander-in-chief of Datong, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, and after he entered the court and became the servant, he didn't know how many deficits he had under his hands.

In this way, Yang Hong's hand can be used to remove dissidents and drag him into the water, which kills two birds with one stone.

The more Zhang Yi listened, the more he frowned, his face was so dark that ink could seep out.

He never expected that these people would conspire to rebel under the emperor's nose. What's even more exasperating is that the emperor was quite cooperative and ran away with a few Jinyiwei.

Confucius said: I was fine when I went, but I can't come back!
"Who knows about this? Does Mr. Cao, the cabinet, know?"

Zhang Yi asked the last question, because he had to know how serious the situation was.

Yang Dan shook his head and said, "Cao Shoufu doesn't know."

"I don't know, or did you fail to instigate rebellion?"

"Didn't tell him at all!"

"Why?"

"He's from the north, and we don't have the same heart. What's more, he is already the chief minister of the cabinet."

The implication is that even if the prince ascends the throne, Cao Nai cannot go any further.

But Zhang Yi is different, he is now the second assistant, he can become the first assistant, and he is an extremely human minister.

Yang Dan's words have another meaning. The officials in the imperial court are divided into factions. From Dali, there are two factions, the North and the South.

The Southern faction can be divided into many smaller factions such as the Zhejiang faction, the Huaixi faction, and the Huguang faction. However, when these people deal with the Northern faction, they will immediately unite.

The most notable example is that in the first imperial examination of the Hongwu Dynasty, all the Jinshi on the list came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to set up an Enke North Field alone, and re-selected [-] northern students.

Above the court, the northern and southern factions have been at odds with each other, and the southern faction has always dominated the northern faction, so naturally they will not treat Cao Nai.

At this time, Zhang Yi had already understood the ins and outs of the matter. The planners were led by the Jiangsu-Zhejiang faction, former disciples and former officials of the Sanyang team. Since the New Deal, the lives of the common people have changed a lot, which has led to the gradual loss of the sense of superiority of these scholars.

Back then, the emperor had killed people in order to open the sea.

Tens of thousands of people were implicated, but in the end they were counterattacked by these people.

In the face of huge profits, no one is willing to back down.

Not even if you are the emperor!
From the conversation tonight, he also got another extremely important piece of information, that is, the death of the first emperor seemed to be related to this incident.

At that time, he was just a small editor and didn't know the inside story.

If what Yang Dan said is true, they can join hands to kill the former emperor, and naturally they can also kill the current emperor.

Zhang Yi closed his eyes silently. If he changed the new emperor in this way, all the ministers would be united, and his own words would be the imperial decree, which would be more effective than the emperor's words.

At this moment, he suddenly understood Hu Weiyong's thoughts.

In the face of great power, who can resist the temptation?
After waiting for a long time, Yang Dan saw that he was still hesitating, so he said: "Brother Zhang, why are you bothering? Today's people are unkind, they extort money from the gentry and common people, and even suppress us officials to death. Ask yourself, we are worth it." Do you sacrifice your life for this man?"

Zhang Yi sighed, and said, "You are a coup d'état, if you make a mistake, you will be lost forever!"

After hearing this, Yang Dan smiled, and said: "In the cabinet, Cao Nai is in Mobei, and Yu Qian is farther away, leading troops in the bitter cold region of the extreme north. Peng Qing has already sailed to the West, and only brother Zhang is left, and there is another man behind him." Hundreds of officials and Jiangnan gentry sit in town, so why worry about big things not being done?"

"Launching a coup in the capital, is it just a show for you to be the top three battalions?"

"Three battalions?"

Yang Dan smiled even more, and said: "Just forge a few reports, saying that the Nanyang guards were attacked by the enemy and suffered heavy losses, and then the Ministry of War will issue an order, and the Shenji Battalion and the Fifth Army Battalion will leave tomorrow!"

After Zhang Yi heard this, his face became even more gloomy. In the absence of Yu Qian, the minister of the Ministry of War, the left and right servants can control everything. No matter whether it is forging a report or issuing a transfer order, no one will question it.

He raised his eyes and asked, "The Three Thousand Battalion is training in Shanxi, and they can return to Beijing at any time!"

Yang Dan replied: "The Three Thousand Battalion is in Mobei, but we already have a countermeasure!"

"What did you say?"

Zhang Yi turned pale with shock. Didn't the Three Thousand Battalion go to Shanxi for training? When did they go to Mobei?
"You don't know yet, do you?"

Yang Dan smiled contemptuously, and said: "Before the emperor left, the three thousand battalions were broken into pieces, and they went to Mobei first."

Zhang Yi was terrified, the [-] Battalion had gone to Mobei, the news even he didn't know, but Yang Dan knew it all.

Doesn't it mean that the emperor's every move is under their control?
