Chapter 565: The Yang Family's Choice
Liu Yu just regarded You Heng as a knife in his hand, and used it to cut off some officials or generals who Liu Yu thought should be killed inconveniently.
Trolls are used well, but like the white blood cells of the body, they are designed to kill some harmful germs.
After years of development, Liu Yu's peaceful days have been a little long. After some officials have been comfortable for too long, the inferiority in their hearts begins to slowly swell. Things that damage the public and private interests have all appeared little by little.
There are many officials who followed Liu Yu early in the morning, these people don't have much ability, and those who have the ability are already living in the temple, they feel that they are like this, and they have begun to rely on their hard work to follow Liu Yu for their own personal interests.
This wind cannot rise, and Liu Yu must curb it. But now that the princes of the south are good, and Yanzhou in the Central Plains is undecided, if they make a big move, I am afraid it will have a bad impact on Liu Yu's power and strength.
After thinking about it, Liu Yu felt that it was better to recruit You Heng and let this cynical genius be Liu Yu's dog, a dog that can bark and bite. If the situation is out of control in the end, then Liu Yu can only push You Heng out as a scapegoat. It may be a bit unfortunate to do this, but as courtiers, it is their responsibility to share the worries of the Lord. Hasn't it been like this for thousands of years? You Heng should know this, whether it is a famous eternal minister or Liu Yu who is finally used as a scapegoat, it depends on You Heng's own. Anyway, Liu Yu has nothing to lose.
When Liu Yu sent You Heng out of the palace, Yang Xiu also returned to his mansion.
When Yang Biao heard that Yang Xiu had come back safe and sound, he happily came out in person.
Yang Biao came out happily, but saw Yang Xiu with a heavy face.
"Dezu, what's wrong with you? Nothing. Yang Biao asked with concern.
Yang Xiu saw Yang Biao coming over, and said solemnly: "Father, I have an important matter to discuss with you alone. ”
Yang Biao's eyes shrank, he had never seen Yang Xiu have such an expression. Yang Biao seemed to have guessed something, nodded and said, "Go to the study!" ”
The father and son came to the study, and Yang Biao ordered no one to disturb, otherwise the family law would serve.
The subordinates of the Yang family quickly left the study, and they were not willing to be punished by the Yang family's family law. When the people saw the posture of their master and young master, there must be a secret matter to discuss, if they accidentally heard it, it was difficult to guarantee whether Yang Biao would kill people and kill them, and that one would die.
There was no one around, and Yang Xiu opened his mouth and said: "The child was invited to the palace by His Majesty today, and His Majesty asked a question, and the child did not dare to make his own decisions, so he wanted to discuss with his father." ”
"What did Your Majesty ask?" Yang Biao asked quietly.
"Your Majesty asks if the child is willing to swear allegiance to His Majesty on behalf of the Yang family." Yang Xiu said directly.
Yang Biao's face became solemn, as if he had guessed what Liu Yu meant.
"Did Your Majesty say anything else?" Yang Biao asked.
Yang Xiu was silent for a while and then said, "Your Majesty said that the Yang family is too big. My father is also getting older. ”
Yang Biao understood that Liu Yu had already begun to dislike the Yang family of the Fifth and Third Dukes. After so many years of development, the Yang family has its own power among all the princes in the world, and it can be said that no matter which prince dominates the world, it can ensure that the glory and wealth of the Yang family will always be maintained.
And Liu Yu didn't care much about this matter before, but now as long as Yanzhou is captured, then the entire north and the Central Plains will be under Liu Yu's control. At this time, it became inevitable that Liu Yu began to target the Yang family.
Yang Biao's thoughts coincided with Liu Yu's thoughts. The Yang family is such a big force, although it has always expressed its submission to Liu Yu, it has not taken much action to show its loyalty. Liu Yu has always had reservations about the family and did not give too much or too many rights.
Yang Biao finally said: "Dezu, what do you think of Liu Yu." ”
Yang Biao called Liu Yu's name, it seems that he really hasn't really been loyal to Liu Yu in his heart.
Yang Xiu naturally knew Yang Biao's thoughts, but this time after listening to Liu Yu's words in Luoyang Tower, he had changed his opinion of Liu Yu.
"Father, has you ever heard of killing to break the game?" Yang Xiu did not answer the rhetorical question.
"What is this?" Yang Biao really hadn't heard of it.
Yang Xiu met Liu Yu with You Heng drinking in Luoyang Building, and Liu Yu tested You Heng and said the method of "breaking the game by killing". Yang Xiu only said the main points, and some side details were ignored by him.
After Yang Biao listened, he felt Liu Yu's strong killing intent in his heart. Yang Biao also knows what Liu Yu means, you Yang Biao is already old and can no longer represent the Yang family, and your Yang family is not really loyal to Liu Yu wholeheartedly. Then now is the time for your Yang family to make the final decision.
"A companion is like a tiger." Yang Biao sighed.
"Father, what should the child do?" Yang Xiu asked.
What can be done? Yang Biao smiled bitterly. Do he, Yang Biao and the Yang family, still have the right to refuse? Since Liu Yu opened this mouth, it shows that he has made relevant preparations. Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish, Yang Biao understands this truth.
"Dezu, my father is old. In the future, the Yang family will be handed over to you. Yang Biao finally said a word, revealing a kind of sadness on his body.
"Father!" Yang Xiu felt Yang Biao's sadness, and his mood was not so good.
Yang Biao smiled and said, "My father is already a very good minister. There are not many people in the world who can reach the level of being a father. As a father, I also have to enjoy the blessings. ”
Yang Biao felt that it was better to hand over the rights of the Yang family to Yang Xiu and let his son lead the Yang family to continue to be brilliant.
"Go ahead, it will be the world of you young people from now on." Yang Biao waved his hand and said.
"The child understands." Yang Xiu agreed.
Yang Xiu left directly from the study, Yang Biao fell into deep thought alone, and finally he called the housekeeper and said, "Inform that person, just say that the old man will no longer care about their affairs, and don't contact the old man in the future." ”
The butler nodded yes.
Yang Biao walked to a corner, took out the books and parchment from a dark compartment, and threw them into the brazier.
Yang Biao stared at the brazier until everything in the brazier was burned.
Yang Xiu came to the palace again, and Liu Yu knew that Yang Xiu and the Yang family had already made a decision.
"Dezu, I knew you would come back." Liu Yu said with a smile.
"I am willing to serve Your Majesty!" Yang Xiu chose to kneel.
Liu Yu helped Yang Xiu up, and Yang Xiu's talent was only in Liu Yu's hands at this time.
As long as the Yang family supports him unconditionally, then the family in Liu Yu's territory should also restrain their claws.
