Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 589 The cold frost and winter snow fall on the branches, the wind and the cold do not bow

Faced with Zhu Yi's questioning, Yang Jie did not panic, but a smile appeared on his face.

Because he knew in his heart that the young man in front of him was already moved.

As long as there is demand, there is weakness!

This is the truth that Yang Jie has personally practiced countless times since he has lived for more than 20 years.

Obviously, for the young prince of Chengguo's mansion, what he wants is to inherit the title.

Arching his hands again, Yang Jie raised his second finger, shook it lightly, and said.

"Just now Yang said that if the Duke of Chengguo wants to restore his title, he only needs to grasp two things. The first one is someone to help him, and the second one is the most critical one, which needs the approval of the government and the public!"

Seeing Zhu Yi's puzzled frown, Yang Jie explained.

"Yang is not talented. Although he has never been involved in the imperial court, he can still get a glimpse of the secrets by watching from the outside. I wonder what kind of person he is today in the heart of the young man?"

This question is a bit sensitive. To put it bluntly, if this sentence alone is spread, Yang Jie will not be able to escape the accusation of criticizing the emperor.

Of course, this kind of thing is very difficult to confirm, and this is Cheng Guogong's mansion, so it is not so taboo.

However, even so, Zhu Yi was still very cautious.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, glanced behind him unobtrusively, put down the teacup, his face had become a little cold, said.

"What exactly is Yang Shizi trying to say, don't play tricks!"

Yang Jie was clearly prepared for Zhu Yi's reaction.

Given the current situation in Chengguo's mansion, Zhu Yi is obviously unwilling to cause trouble for herself. However, as someone from the Supreme Emperor's side, it is obviously not realistic to ask him to speak well for the emperor.

Therefore, Yang Jie only pondered for a while, and then said.

"Since it's hard for the young man to say, let Yang say it."

"From Yang's point of view, if you are not an emperor today, you must be a sage!"

In a word, it was so loud, it was rare, Zhu Yi saw a trace of admiration in Yang Jie's eyes, his face remained calm, but he couldn't help turning his body sideways, and asked.

"how you said that?"

Yang Jie exhaled lightly, the admiration in his eyes did not go away, said.

"I've read history books, and I've read Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu a few times. Although they have achieved great achievements, they all have selfishness. But today, the Shang is cautious about being independent and self-disciplined. Although he used the factory guards, he never acted ulteriorly and selfishly, and put the government and the society first, such a virtue is beyond the reach of a sage and gentleman!"

Once again, Zhu Yi had the feeling that she didn't know how many times she faced Yang Jie...

This kid, isn't he playing him?
Otherwise, how could he praise the emperor so strongly in front of the emperor's party?

Picking up the teacup again, she took a sip, glanced at the attendant who was still standing with her head down, standing behind her without any reaction, and Zhu Yi felt that she should behave in a manner appropriate to her status.

So, he put down the teacup, his face became ugly, and he snorted softly. At the same time, the teacup fell on the table, making a slight sound of porcelain colliding.

Although he didn't say anything, the contempt and dissatisfaction were clearly revealed.

Yang Jie blinked, but there was no special reaction, he just changed the topic and said.

"Yang knows that it is not appropriate to say these things in the Duke of Cheng's mansion, but please be patient for the time being, because if it is not for the emperor, the title of the Duke of Cheng's mansion will not be easy to get back."

Zhu Yi frowned, apparently waiting for Yang Jie's next words, but a trace of impatience could already be seen on her face.

Yang Jie pretended not to see it, and continued.

"I don't know if my little father-in-law has ever heard a saying that a gentleman can be bullied?"

"What do you mean?"

Having said that, Zhu Yi already roughly guessed what Yang Jie was going to say next.

Sure enough, Yang Jie continued.

"Since the Son of Heaven is a sage and virtuous gentleman, he will not mess up the affairs of the court because of his personal affairs. This is something that has been proved by several times of turmoil in the court. It is still the same sentence. The old man made aggressive advances in Yao'er Ridge, and he was punished if he committed a crime, that's the way it is, it wasn't his old man's deliberate suppression."

"What's more, even if today's son is dissatisfied with the actions of Duke Cheng's mansion, as long as the young man's deeds have contributed to the country, and there are people who help him with all his strength, His Majesty will act fairly and return the title of Duke Cheng's mansion. What a problem."

Zhu Yi understood that Yang Jie's intention was not only to bring down Ning Yuanhou with him, but more importantly, he wanted to use the power of the two princes to help the emperor peacefully resolve Xungui's opposition to the rectification army. Tun's rebound.

Only in this way can it be called meritorious service to the country.

So, in a sense, Yang Jie was persuading him to...betray?
These words made the eloquent Young Master Zhu not know how to answer for a moment, so he could only remain silent.

However, Yang Jie thought that he was worried about the risk of doing so, so he continued to persuade.

"Don't worry, my lord. The Marquis of Changping's Mansion will take care of the issue of Marquis Ningyuan. You only need to help in the dark. What you are worried about is that this vague letter is certainly not enough to bring down Marquis Ningyuan. However, If it is used to make the emperor want to kill him, it is completely enough."

"As long as this can be achieved, it is only a matter of time before Ningyuanhou's Mansion falls."

"As for the future, Yang believes that the young man knows how to persuade the people you need to persuade."

At this point, Zhu Yi finally fully understood Yang Jie's plan.

Although I don't know why, but facing the dangerous situation that the Yang family is facing now, Yang Jie obviously advocates to follow the emperor all the way to the dark.

He has a clear understanding of his own situation.

Therefore, he understood that the Son of Heaven did not deliberately target the Yang family, but that the Yang family had been on the border for many years and was deeply involved in the invasion and occupation of the military settlements, so the Son of Heaven had to use the Yang family to sacrifice the flag.

Logically speaking, in this situation, most people would think of fierce resistance, but what Yang Jie thought of was to find a scapegoat!

Obviously, Hou Renli Ningyuan was found by Yang Jie, the unlucky one who died instead of the Yang family.

Moreover, Yang Jie not only found a partner, but also considered all aspects in advance.

As he said, this ambiguous evidence is not enough to bring down a high-ranking Houfu, but it is enough to make the emperor feel murderous towards Ren Li.

Others don't know, but Zhu Yi does.

Although it is said that a certain Minister of the Ministry of War contradicts the emperor every day, and is grounded and fined every time he moves, but in fact, the emperor is very protective of him.

Last year's confinement allowed him to avoid the turmoil of the Zhennan King case, and this time the border patrol allowed him to avoid the dispute over the East Palace's exit from the cabinet.

Even now, the Ministry of War had no choice but to start offending people, but the emperor still pressed him to prepare a way out.

Although this kind of love is not obvious, no one can easily deny it.

Therefore, once the Son of Heaven gets the news, the defeat of Ningyuan Hou Mansion will be a matter of time.

Again, Yang Jie didn't intend to bring down the Ningyuan Hou's Mansion with such a letter, and even if he got a confession in the end, it was impossible to use a single certificate to collapse an authoritative Hou's Mansion.

However, it is entirely possible to use this evidence, or use the evidence he has not yet produced, to convince the emperor that the mastermind behind this matter is Ren Li.

In this way, if the Yang family is willing to be the vanguard, I am afraid that the emperor will not hesitate to give the Yang family this opportunity to redeem their sins.

With the acquiescence of the emperor, coupled with the secret cooperation of Zhu Yi and the British government, under the enemy's back and forth, no matter how capable Ren Li is, he may not escape.

After all, it is the general trend to rectify the military colony this time, and the Yang family is willing to take the lead against Ren Li, and the Ministry of War will inevitably follow. Anyway, for them, it doesn't matter who gets the knife.

As for Ren Li, under normal circumstances, he would naturally be able to fight.

However, if there are two more allies with malicious intentions, it will be uncertain.

In particular, when Ren Li was a newly promoted honorary minister, and most of his influence came from the old forces of the British government, this risk would soar infinitely.

As for after...

As Yang Jie said, Zhu Yi naturally knew what to do.

As long as Ren Li was brought down with enough care and without showing any traces, then after the downfall of Ren Li, the Supreme Emperor, who was eager to stabilize his power, must rely on the power of the two government offices.

And the prerequisite for doing so is to help Duke Cheng's mansion be rehabilitated first.

As for how to restore the title, Yang Jie also made it very clear.

It's nothing more than an exchange of benefits.

The nobles spit out the blood of the soldiers who drank in the army, in exchange for the return of the duke's mansion, the Ministry of War has achieved its goal, and it should be stopped in time.

In this big chess game, the Son of Heaven reorganized the military settlements without harming the court. Although the nobles lost a lot of benefits, they got back a mansion that could be used as a magic needle for the sea.

At that time, the Duke of Cheng's government will take back the title, and the government of the United Kingdom will successfully regain the dominance. With the prestige and financial resources of the two governments, it will not be difficult to compensate and settle the dissatisfied nobles.

As for the Taishanghuang, he "helped" Chengguo's mansion get back the title after losing a gift, which would definitely make Chengguo's mansion truly "die loyal".

As for the Marquis of Changping, after charging into battle, as long as the attitude of admitting mistakes is positive enough, neither the emperor nor the Ministry of War will chase after the poor and fight fiercely.

After all, what they want is to rectify the military settlements, not to destroy the Changping Marquis Mansion.

Everyone has their own gains, and what needs to be sacrificed is just a gift, so why not do it?

Seeing that Zhu Yi was still hesitating, Yang Jie frowned slightly, took a step forward, and said.

"My lord, the situation is changing rapidly. I missed this opportunity, and I don't know when I want to wait for the chance to be reinstated. I don't know when and what month it will be. For this big show, Yang has already set the stage. The Yang family will bear the risk. My lord. The master only needs to pull the curtain behind his back, and he can restore the lintel of his father and grandparents. Could it be said that with such an opportunity, the young master still hesitates to move forward?"

So, Zhu Yi finally came to his senses, looking at the too young face in front of him, he couldn't help but speak.

"Those who don't plan for eternity are not enough for a moment, and those who don't plan for the overall situation are not enough for a region. Yang Shizi, you really live up to your name. You are a hero of the Yang family. If you can be a general, you must be a handsome talent!"

This compliment is sincere.

Zhu Yi suddenly felt a deep sense of regret.

The young man in front of him is full of wisdom and courage. He is so thoughtful that he can predict every step in advance, but he also has the courage and courage to give it a go.

If his body and bones were better, even if his martial arts were not strong enough, he would definitely be a rising star in the army.

Unfortunately……

Yang Jie's face darkened, as if he had been stung, but in just a short moment, he regained his calm, said.

"Thank you for your praise, young master, if you dare to ask him, would you like to give it a try?"

As soon as Zhu Yi said the words, she felt something was wrong.

Although he did it from the bottom of his heart, I'm afraid he really hit Yang Jie's sore spot.

As a family of generals and the eldest son, he was unable to inherit the heroic appearance of his father and grandfather, galloping on the battlefield.

It would be fine if he is really mediocre, but on the contrary, he is extremely intelligent and strategic.

It can only be said that God tricks people, whoever puts this kind of thing on, I'm afraid they will not be reconciled...

"Yang Shizi, I just said it from the bottom of my heart, and I have no other intentions."

After thinking about it, Zhu Yi also got up and bowed, stood opposite Yang Jie, and said in a deep voice.

"It's a blessing for the Yang family to have you. Don't worry, Yang Shizi. Regardless of the final result this time, I, Zhu Yi, have made friends with you as a friend. As for what you said today..."

At the end, Zhu Yi still didn't give an accurate answer, he hesitated for a while, and then he opened his mouth to speak.

"It's a very important matter. Forgive me for being unable to make a decision at the moment. What's more, this matter is not only related to Cheng Guogong's mansion. Can you give Yang Shizi an answer after the New Year's Eve?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Jie was certainly a little disappointed, but he also knew that some things should not be too anxious.

In the final analysis, the Marquis of Changping is at a disadvantage now, so waiting and patience are necessary.

Fortunately, the matter is not urgent enough to wait a few days.

So Yang Jie nodded and said.

"That's right, don't worry, my lord. No matter what the outcome is, Yang will keep his mouth shut about today's matter. Two days later will be the first day. At that time, the Marquis of Changping will have a New Year's card, and Yang will stay in the mansion and wait for the little one." Grandpa's reply!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Jie didn't hesitate, and left with hands in hand.

Zhu Yi stood at the entrance of the flower hall, and after a long while, she suddenly asked.

"Qingfeng, do you think this Young Master Yang has seen anything?"

"Go back to my little father-in-law, I don't know."

Behind Zhu Yi, the entourage who had lowered his head from the beginning, lowered his head and spoke respectfully.

It's the same as saying nothing, but Zhu Yi didn't care, and continued to ask.

"Then tell me, should I agree to what he said?"

The voice behind him sounded again, still respectful.

"Go back to my little father-in-law, I don't know."

Zhu Yi turned around, took a deep look at the follower, waved her hand lightly, and said.

"It's not interesting, you back off..."

So, the entourage bowed and retreated back. However, just as his figure was about to disappear, Zhu Yi's voice sounded again, calm but firm, he said.

"By the way, I just said that Zhu Yi made Yang Shizi a friend, that is, made him a friend!"

The retreating figure froze slightly, then bowed again and disappeared behind the screen.

Zhu Yi was the only one left in the flower hall, but he didn't move. He just looked in the direction Yang Jie was leaving and remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, he sighed softly, turned around and went back to the backyard.

At the corner of the wall, under the sunlight, a single white plum fell into the mud, which is really conspicuous in the muddy land.

Cold frost and winter snow falling on the branches, facing the wind and riding the cold without bowing your head.

The cold plum has survived the coldest winter, but it will gradually wither in the warm early spring...

　Everyone, see you next year~
