Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 126

When Yang Hong heard that his memorial had been approved, he hurriedly asked, "What did the emperor say?"

Yang Jie shook his head: "Father, let's go to the secret room and talk."

Seeing that Yang Jie was so solemn, Yang Hong had no choice but to retreat from the attendants and enter the secret room together.

After making sure that what he said would not be leaked, Yang Jie lamented to Yang Hong: "Father, our Yang family is over, all over."

Yang Hong asked curiously, "Why did my son say that?"

"Hey, father, you can see for yourself, His Majesty personally drafted a reply, strictly ordering that no one in the Xuan Mansion should leave the defense area of ​​the Xuan Mansion.

If anyone leaves the country, kill the whole family immediately.

If father led his troops to leave the Xuan Mansion, then, then..."

Yang Jie couldn't go on talking. Yang Hong couldn't wait, so he had to open the memorial and read it himself. He saw the bright red Zhu Zhu on it, and wrote impressively: If Yang Hong still wants to be a minister of the Ming Dynasty, you will guard the Xuanfu and wait Important court officials came to apprehend and question him.If Yang Hong dared to lead his troops to leave the defense area of ​​Xuanfu, he would immediately kill the whole family, and Yang Hong and his son would be dragged to Xishi and executed Ling Chi.

Yang Hong held Zouben's hand and began to tremble involuntarily.After a long while, I asked suspiciously: "I am a general guarding one side, in charge of [-] elite soldiers and the strong city of Xuanfu. Now that the Oala army is pressing down on the border, why is the emperor like this? Does he really dare to move me? I am not afraid of the border Chaos?"

Yang Jie heard the words and sighed: "The emperor's methods are too poisonous. We have no way to resist if we choose this time for a showdown. Now there are [-] elite cavalry from the Ara Zhiyuan outside the city, and our army can't leave the city.

Even if we can really defeat Ah La and rush out of Xuan Mansion, where can we go?To the east is Juyongguan, His Majesty has issued a strict order to Luo Tong of Juyongguan, as long as a Xuanfu soldier crosses Juyongguan, Luotong will come to see him.

To the south is Datong and Zijingguan. Yexian's army has already reached Datong and will reach Zijingguan in a few days.If we go south, we will run into Yexian's army head-on.

So we are actually surrounded, and now His Majesty is not afraid of our rebellion at all.

Even on the contrary, His Majesty very much hopes that we will rebel, so as to have an excuse to wipe us out completely. "

Yang Hong asked: "Is there no way to recover?"

Yang Jie replied angrily: "Now that things have come to an end, there is nothing else we can do. Back then, it was fine for the elder brother to abandon the city first, but he insisted on giving his father such a bunch of bad ideas, encouraging his father to do things that preserve his strength and support him. A soldier's self-respecting dream.

It's good now, the emperor has been completely annoyed, my father should have followed my advice and led the army out of the city to kill the enemy.

Even if only a hundred Tartar heads were beheaded and handed over to Beijing, that would still be a theory.

It has been more than two months since the Oirat invasion, and one head has not been handed over. What do you make the emperor think?

You are so openly dereliction of duty that you don't even want to pretend, no one can stand whoever is the emperor. "

Knowing that his son-in-law has always been resourceful, Yang Hong quickly asked, "It's useless for you to complain now, let's talk about how to save the situation."

"Father and elder brother will definitely die."

Yang Jie only said this sentence, and then kept silent.The rest of the meaning is to let Yang Hong and Yang Jun commit suicide and apologize, in exchange for Yang Jie's own life.

Of course, it was impossible for Yang Jie to say this by himself.

Yang Hong took a deep look at Yang Jie, quite dissatisfied with this plan.Yang Hong has two sons in total, and he always prefers Yang Jun, who was born to his concubine. Now Yang Jie wants himself and Yang Jun to apologise, and leave the way of life to Yang Jie. It's no wonder that Yang Hong is happy.

Yang Jie also knew that his father was unwilling to sacrifice himself, let alone his eldest brother, but Yang Jie didn't want to die with these two idiots, so he came up with another idea:
"Father, Yu Shangshu, the current Minister of War, has served as the governor of Shanxi for 19 years, and has a good relationship with you. And my son has no job, so he can move around.

Or let your son go to Beijing to pay a visit to Shangshu, and ask him to show you a clear way in view of our friendship with you for so many years, and to speak a few good words for our Yang family in front of His Majesty. "

Yang Hong nodded: "For the current plan, this is the only way to go."

"It's not too late, the son will leave immediately, please take care of your father."

After finishing speaking, Yang Jie kowtowed and hurried back to pack his things.After a while, he took his two confidantes and hurried out of the city, heading straight for Juyongguan.

Coincidentally, Yang Jiejie met Huang Pu's mission in just a few hours in the city.

There are a thousand wah cavalry, ordered by Ara, to escort the mission.Seeing Yang Jie and his party riding horses and galloping, they hurried over to intercept and check.

In the end, Huang Pu was also alarmed and came to check in person.

Yang Jie saw Huang Pu approaching from afar, and quickly bowed his hands in salute: "Huang Youcheng, it's me, I am Yang Jie, the son of Yang Zongbing."

Huang Pu had met Yang Hong, Yang Jie and his son at the Xuanfu Horse Station before, so he naturally recognized them.Seeing that it was really Yang Jie, he quickly signaled the Wala cavalry to let him go.

Yang Jie walked up to Huang Pu and thanked him again and again.

Huang Pu asked with a smile, "Mr. Yang, where are you going?"

Yang Jie knew that Huang Pu was a newly-emerged close minister of the emperor, so he would reveal his secrets sooner or later if he lied to Huang Pu.So he poured beans into a bamboo tube and told Huang Pu exactly what happened.

After Huang Pu listened, he didn't say much, he just invited Yang Jie to go with the mission, so that he could take care of him along the way.

Three days later, the mission arrived in the capital. After Yang Jie thanked him again and again, he separated from Huang Pu and rushed to Qian's mansion.

Huang Pu, on the other hand, went straight to Qi Wangfu regardless of the exhaustion of the journey, and came to pay the emperor a business.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu had just received Tiance Guard's generals in the West Flower Hall, and was reclined on the soft couch, chatting with He Yi, Ye Sheng, Yao Xian and others.

As soon as Huang Pu came in, he wanted to salute, Zhu Qiyu quickly stopped, and let the person go to the couch: "Aiqing has worked hard this trip, come, quickly come to the couch and have a cup of hot tea."

Huang Pu got on the couch, drank a cup of tea, and then told what he had seen and heard during this trip.

Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile: "What did Boyan Timur say, are you willing to cooperate with me?"

Huang Pu shook his head: "Boyan Timur has a heart for Daming, and is willing to accept the title of King Zhong, but he is obviously more inclined to the Supreme Emperor, and he wants to help the Supreme Emperor return to Beijing and restore his status."

Zhu Qiyu didn't take it seriously, and asked Ye Sheng and Yao Xian with a smile: "Bo Yan Timur wants to help the Supreme Emperor restore his status, what do the two lovers think?"

Ye Sheng and Yao Xian looked at each other, neither of them willing to speak first.Both of them were against Yang Hong, and hated Shanxi soldiers and officials for deceiving the king and wronging the country, but both of them also sympathized with what happened to the Supreme Emperor, and they also agreed with Zhu Qizhen in their hearts.

But you can't directly say in front of the new emperor that you should ask the Supreme Emperor to return.So the two are in a dilemma, very entangled.

Zhu Qiyu sighed, shook his head helplessly, and drilled a hole in the mountain to select seven Zhongshu Scheeren: He Yi, Huang Pu, Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong, Ye Sheng, Yao Xian, and Lian Gang.

It's a pity that although these seven people are all first-class talents, only He Yi, Huang Pu, and Lian Gang are willing to clearly follow the new emperor, and the remaining four are all biased towards the Supreme Emperor.
