Chapter 362: As You Wish
Yang Yun was called directly from the rented courtyard to Zhang's mansion.
If he is replaced by Li Linfu, he can turn a deaf ear, he is a relative of the emperor, what happened if he didn't go to your courtier's appointment? But after all, Yang Yun had a certain respect for a loyal minister like Zhang Jiuling, so he let it go.
Before coming to the door, he had expected that Zhang Jiuling was likely to be instigated, and he may have known that there was a warning from the heavens in the palace, so that Li Longji changed his mind and wanted to get rid of An Lushan and other border generals.
In Zhang's study, Yang Yun saw Zhang Jiuling.
Zhang Jiuling retired Zhang Zhengping, preparing to question Yang Yun alone about what happened in the palace.
"If Zhang Linggong has anything, it is advisable to say it directly." Yang Yun's attitude was not as modest as before, and he knew that he would definitely not get Zhang Jiuling's good face this time.
Zhang Jiuling really had a calm face, looked at Yang Yun for a while, and then asked: "I heard that in the palace, Your Majesty saw that someone would rebel, so Your Majesty will order that those crimes sent by Youzhou will be punished with capital punishment?" ”
He didn't make up his mind immediately, and wanted to ask Yang Yun to clarify the situation, indicating that he was not very sure, after all, the news was provided by someone sent by Zhang Shouqi, and it was not good for him to attack directly with this when no one confirmed it.
Yang Yun asked in surprise: "The affairs in the palace, how can the younger generation know about the humble position?" ”
Although this incident was done by Yang Yun, he was not in the palace at the time, and no one had any evidence that this matter had anything to do with him, even if it was Gao Lishi, who witnessed it, he was just suspicious, and now that he was questioned by Zhang Jiuling, of course Yang Yun would not admit it.
"What the hell is going on with the warning on that day?"
Zhang Jiuling seemed to expect to get Yang Yun's answer, and continued to ask.
Yang Yun asked again puzzled: "Zhang Linggong wants to ask, why did the Heavenly Secret reveal that these Hu people could cause trouble to the imperial court?" ”
Zhang Jiuling didn't speak, just stared at Yang Yun with blazing eyes, as if he wanted to find some flaws in his face.
Yang Yun shook his head and said, "Zhang Linggong has never been disdainful of Taoist prophecy, since he doesn't believe it, why bother asking?" The younger generation has one thing I want to ask Zhang Linggong, why did you have to let the imperial court strictly enforce the law and punish those border generals who committed crimes to death? ”
Yang Yun's interrogation was-for-tat.
If it weren't for your insistence, perhaps the emperor would have ordered these people to be released and let Zhang Shouqi punish them as appropriate, and there would not have been a scene where the emperor changed his mind and directly ordered him to be executed today.
Now that the heavenly opportunity coincides with your proposition, as a person with vested interests, you use this to question me, and you still think that the heavenly opportunity will shake the country's foundation, why is this?
Zhang Jiuling said with a cold face: "The old man just wants to maintain the law of the imperial court...... Those errant generals must be punished according to the crimes they committed, and their ineffective expedition led to a large number of casualties among our soldiers and soldiers, which damaged the prestige of the country. ”
At this time, Zhang Jiuling still showed an old-fashioned attitude, as if the entire imperial court should be controlled by his will, and he was the only one among the civil and military officials who could maintain political correctness.
Yang Yun smiled faintly and asked, "Does Zhang Linggong think that these people were punished only because they made mistakes, not because they were likely to threaten the future stability of the imperial court?" ”
One sentence made Zhang Jiuling speechless.
Previously, in order to wipe out all the Hu generals sent by Zhang Shouqi, Zhang Jiuling had more than once said in public in the court that they were not of our race and their hearts would be different, accusing these Hu generals of not serving the Tang Dynasty with all their hearts.
It is also said that these Hu generals were driven by the marshals of the border towns for the sake of profit, and if the court treated them badly in the future, they would definitely commit rebellion.
The words are still in his ears, how can he refute them?
Yang Yun didn't wait for Zhang Jiuling's answer, and continued to ask: "If today's opportunity is just to show that these people may commit chaos in the future, causing the overthrow of the Tang Dynasty, it can be seen that Zhang Linggong foresaw that it is very likely to become a reality in the future, which is just in response to Zhang Linggong's prophecy, so why does Zhang Linggong have such a big opinion on this?" ”
Zhang Jiuling is the prime minister in the end, and he has experienced many ups and downs in the sea, how can he be willing to accept the question of a junior like Yang Yun?
He shouted: "No matter what the old man said before, everything is based on reality and has a solid basis. If Your Majesty firmly believes in this kind of thing, what if there are scheming people who take advantage of this to endanger the court and frame Zhongliang? ”
Zhang Jiuling was angry, glared at Yang Yun angrily, and had the intention of teaching a lesson if he didn't agree.
Yang Yun shook his head: "The junior is just discussing the internal reason for this matter with Zhang Linggong, and it is not a heavenly opportunity concocted by the junior, Zhang Linggong doesn't have to question me because of this." ”
Zhang Jiuling couldn't help but be stunned.
From the very beginning, Yang Yun didn't admit that this matter was done by him, but just said that the heavenly machine met your Zhang Jiuling's expectations, and the emperor ordered these people to be killed, which is in line with what you said before, these generals are half-hearted, it is impossible to be truly loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and the hidden dangers must be eliminated as soon as possible.
As for how this heavenly opportunity came about, it was not within the scope of his discussion with Yang Yun.
Zhang Jiuling suddenly came to his senses, and felt strange in his heart, he felt that his thoughts had been led by the nose from the beginning, obviously asking Yang Yun, the national teacher of the dynasty, why did he frequently appear in the sky, and how did he finally turn into a discussion about whether those criminal generals should be killed?
"If Zhang Linggong feels that His Majesty's murder because of heavenly opportunities violates the justice and law of the imperial court, then he might as well enter the palace overnight and ask His Majesty to stop the execution of the edict."
Yang Yun's tone was stiff, and he added, "If Zhang Linggong feels that someone is playing tricks behind his back and deliberately disturbs the court with heavenly opportunities, I don't think that these people have the intention of harming the court, otherwise how to deal with the rebellious ministers and thieves that Zhang Linggong thinks should be killed, not loyal ministers and good generals...... Who does Zhang Linggong think will do it? ”
Zhang Jiuling was stunned again, and after thinking about Yang Yun's words, he suddenly felt that his situation was very delicate.
Back to that question, the heavenly machine appeared, and the emperor decided to kill Hu Jiang, who was the beneficiary?
Isn't it him Zhang Jiuling?
said that this incident was committed by Li Linfu and Niu Xianke and others, and no one would believe it, because it was not in line with the interests of the main battle faction in the DPRK and China at all, that is, even if someone was behind the ghost as he expected, this incident did not hurt the interests of the imperial court, but helped justice and justice.
"How should the matter of the prince be explained?" Zhang Jiuling immediately thought of Li Ying's death after being deposed, and he felt that Yang Yun's heavenly trick was to disturb the dynasty.
Yang Yun said: "The prince led the troops into the palace, no matter who instigated it behind his back, but there is no doubt that he has already given birth to a rebellion, right?" His Majesty also made the decision to depose the crown prince after careful consideration. Knowing that His Majesty is in danger and not reminding him, is this the act of a courtier? As for the final death of the prince, it is not within the prediction range of the younger generation! ”
This question made Zhang Jiuling difficult to answer.
Originally, as an old seniority in the court, it is understandable to catch a lesson from a junior like Yang Yun.
Now it's the other way around, it's Yang Yun questioning him, and he's been thinking about Yang Yun's words.
Yang Yun saluted: "Take a step back, if Zhang Linggong really feels that something is wrong, he should not bring the younger generation to discuss with you, you should immediately speak to Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty no longer believes in the so-called heavenly opportunity." If Zhang Linggong thinks that those Hu generals should not be killed, he can also dissuade His Majesty. ”
Yang Yun is clearly connotating Zhang Jiuling.
Zhang Jiuling was very angry, but he endured it, after all, he couldn't find a reason to refute Yang Yun's words.
At this moment, the door of the study opened, and Zhang Zheng appeared at the door.
"Father, there is a distinguished guest who wants to see you."
Zhang Zheng glanced at Yang Yun, obviously realizing that the Zhang family and his son-in-law were not all the way, and did not explain who asked to see him.
Zhang Jiuling felt that it was not easy to face Yang Yun, because he questioned many things in a bad name, and the guests at home at this time could be regarded as giving him a chance to go down the stairs.
"You go back first, the old man will come back to you if there is something." Zhang Jiuling went straight to the study, and when he arrived at the door, he instructed Zhang Zheng, "Send him out of the house." ”
……
……
Zhang Jiuling did not vent his negative emotions in front of Yang Yun, but instead provoked a stomach, which Yang Yun secretly laughed at.
As for who Zhang Jiuling went to see, Yang Yun speculated that it was someone from the palace, and it was likely to be related to Gao Lishi.
If it was an ordinary minister, it would be inappropriate to come to see Zhang Jiuling at this time, and Zhang Zheng would not rush in to report.
"Virtuous son-in-law, don't be surprised, my father has always been not interested in the art of Taoism, you are a famous Taoist scholar, how much ability you have, you can know it in your heart."
Zhang Zheng came out and explained for Zhang Jiuling.
Zhang Zheng knew very well that his father couldn't rub sand in his eyes, and he also knew that Zhang Jiuling had offended many people in the court.
Yang Yun also understands that Zhang Jiuling has an outstanding reputation and high ability in the DPRK, and even Li Longji is very recognized. But why was Zhang Jiuling pushed off after not being prime minister for a few years in the end? It is precisely because Zhang Jiuling is unable to meet Li Longji's expectations in many aspects in addition to his ability.
Of course, Yang Yun would not argue with Zhang Zheng, a cheap father-in-law, and after humbly being taught, he left Zhang's mansion and took a carriage to the other courtyard where the laboratory was located, and still did not return to his original home.
……
……
When they arrived at the place, Wu Yuan and Zhang Jingyan were meditating and practicing.
The steelmaking here has ended, and the Mi family has arranged a site for Yang Yun to make steel outside the city, and iron ore must be used to make steel.
The Tang Dynasty iron was controlled by the imperial court, and Yang Yun could not contract and mine the existing iron ore, and he could not let Li Longji know that he was making iron and steel, and iron ore became a key factor restricting the large-scale production of steel.
"In the past few days, I am going to leave Luoyang in the name of looking for alchemy materials and go to the nearby state capital to do some exploration."
Yang Yun was going to take Wu Yuan and a few little loli out of the city, nominally to find the heavenly treasures for alchemy, but in fact to carry out geological exploration.
A group of superpowered girls, coupled with his own abilities, is still easy to explore a few unexplored mines.
It is difficult to find large-scale mines with reserves of hundreds of millions of tons, so it should not be a big problem to find some nearby reserves with reserves of tens of thousands of tons.
"Are we going out of town?"
Wu Yuan seemed to have a different opinion on this, and looked at Yang Yun with a worried expression.
Yang Yun nodded and said: "Just go out for a walk, I haven't gone out to have a good look since I arrived in Luoyang, and people are about to get bored for a long time, so let An Lun and Yarou prepare when I go back tonight." ”
Zhang Jingyan wanted to speak and stopped, and finally asked, "Are we going to go far?" ”
Yang Yun was stunned for a moment, and then knew what they were worried about, these two apprentices probably thought they were going to run away!
