Chapter 158: Yang Rong leaves Beijing

It was Yang Rong's carriage.

Only then did Zhu Qizhen remember that Yang Rong had returned to his hometown on leave.

Speaking of this incident, Zhu Qizhen still felt a little guilty about Yang Rong.

Zhu Qizhen decided that several old ministers in the cabinet could take leave and return to their hometowns, and it stands to reason that the first one to take leave was Yang Shiqi. After all, many times in officialdom, it is about respect and humility and rules.

Yang Rong said that he was a second assistant, and he should not go past the first assistant.

It's just that Yang Rong is angry in his heart.

Naturally, Zhu Qizhen was close to the ministers. Alienated Yang Rong.

It's different from Yang Shiqi.

Yang Shiqi doesn't seem to have any tricks, but his greatest ability and capital is the control of the imperial court, no matter what, the court is Yang Shiqi's people. However, Yang Shiqi was able to calm the field, make the upper and lower levels well-placed, and the politics were clear, and most of the officials were qualified.

But Yang Rong is different.

Yang Rong has always been able to compete with Yang Shiqi because of Yang Rong's right to speak in military strategy.

If you make a comparison.

Yang Shiqi is Xiao He, and Yang Rong is Zhang Liang.

Of course, it is not that Yang Shiqi and Xiao He, Yang Rong and Zhang Liang have high abilities, but the similarity of the type pattern.

The first thing Yang Rong did was when Emperor Taizong crossed the river, broke through Nanjing, and was about to enter Beijing, Yang Rong stopped Taizong and said: "First worship the filial piety tomb, or ascend the throne first?" ”

This sentence reminded Taizong that Taizong first worshiped the filial piety tomb, and then entered Nanjing to gain the initiative to fight for righteousness.

It can be seen that Yang Rong's character.

Now that Zhu Qizhen is close to the ministers militarily, he is naturally alienated from Yang Rong.

Especially in martial arts matters.

The martial arts proposed by Wang Ji was originally intended to be under the military department, but under Zhu Qizhen's demon reform, martial arts was subordinate to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

It doesn't matter if it's just a martial art.

The important thing is that only after graduating from martial arts can you inherit the hereditary official position.

That is to say, the right to evaluate the posts of all the generals of the guard posts in the Ministry of War was transferred from the Ministry of War to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. This is also a major blow to the military department.

Yang Rong also wanted to see Zhu Qizhen state his interests.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen is already afraid of the minister's mouth.

Just before, before Zhu Qizhen met Yang Shiqi, he was determined in his heart to make the Great Hontang the pinnacle of the military education system and the cradle of the Ming generals.

But with Yang Shiqi's words, the main hall became the Ming aristocratic school. And not a military school anymore.

Now that Zhu Qizhen had already thought about it, the main hall took a step back. Martial arts can't be retreated here.

Otherwise, how to win over the nobles, not stabilize the upper nobles, if he reforms the guards below, who will help him stabilize the situation.

This is not possible for Wenchen.

It's really Zhu Qizhen who feels that he has figured it out and is unshakable.

Only then did he avoid seeing Yang Rong.

It's just that Yang Rong doesn't think so.

Yang Rong seemed to be a little disheartened and asked for leave.

Zhu Qizhen inevitably speculated in his heart whether this Yang Rong was a threat to me, so although he kept it for a while, he finally approved it, but he didn't have a strict time.

In other words, if Yang Rong wants to stay, he can naturally stay.

It's just that Yang Rong's speed is too fast, he approved it yesterday and will leave the city today. It looks like a few carriages, not like a hike, but a homecoming.

Zhu Qizhen immediately said to Wang Zhen: "Go and ask, but Dongyang Xiangguo's frame, and then ask, Dongyang Xiangguo is returning to his hometown?" ”

"Yes." Wang Zhen said immediately.

Although the three Yangs were called together, the people of the time still separated them, Yang Shiqi was Xiyang, Yang Rong was Dongyang, and Yang Pu was Nanyang.

Xiangguo, on the other hand, was the honorific title of a scholar in the Ming Dynasty at that time.

The Ming Dynasty used ancient names, such as calling the military department Shangshu the Great Sima. The official department is the official of heaven.

But after a while, Wang Zhen came back and said: "I have inquired clearly, Dongyang Xiangguo, I ordered to pack my luggage yesterday, and I have already got a post ticket from the military department and is ready to return to my hometown." ”

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, not everyone could use it. After all, there is a note from the Ministry of War. Finally, it has to be written off. But this system was completely useless at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The burden on the post station is also getting heavier.

Zhu Qizhen was silent for a while, and said, "Go and invite Dongyang Xiangguo to come here for a while." ”

Wang Zhen immediately went to arrange.

It's just that the conversation between Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen was also listened to by the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager asked through the curtain: "But what happened, Yang Rong wants to return to his hometown, why don't I know?" ”

After the earthquake, the Empress Dowager faded out of politics.

At first, I also inquired about the handling of Zhu Qizhen, and later King Xiang entered Beijing. The Empress Dowager is bent on this son who has not been seen for many years and may never see again in the future.

I pay less attention to things outside.

So this matter, the Empress Dowager does not know yet.

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said this matter as it was, admitting his mistake and saying: "This matter, my grandson did it wrong, and my grandson thought it was -------."

The Empress Dowager smiled lightly and said, "Do you think Yang Rong is threatening you?" In fact, you guessed half right and half wrong, Yang Rong is testing you at most, if you really want to threaten you, why not resign? ”

"However, your handling is not very good, you can't really let the old minister not come down."

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he immediately understood one thing, he just thought that he didn't think about Yang Rong, and now Yang Rong is probably embarrassed to get into the sheath.

After all, Yang Rong, a veteran of the four dynasties, asked him to take the initiative to admit his mistakes to the emperor, and he couldn't let go of the shelf. If you find it difficult to stay in Beijing, let's go back to your hometown first.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Niangniang, what should my grandson do? ”

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "You can do it." This palace is old, this world is yours, do whatever you want. ”

"Just remember that this world is not only yours, but also the ancestors and ancestors, before doing things, think about it one more layer."

Zhu Qizhen suddenly felt at a loss in his heart, as if the support behind him had been emptied.

This is what human nature is.

There are some things that you feel like a hindrance when you're there. But after the loss, I know what is valuable.

Although the Empress Dowager has repeatedly said that she will hand over the government to him, Zhu Qizhen will not believe all of it, at most half of it. Many times, when Zhu Qizhen took the initiative to report, the Empress Dowager would still express some opinions.

And Zhu Qizhen is also very knowledgeable.

No matter what he thinks, as long as the Empress Dowager speaks, he will do what the Empress Dowager says.

This is the first time, when the matter comes to the Empress Dowager's side, the Empress Dowager doesn't care, not to mention that this matter is also quite important in Zhu Qizhen's opinion.

About the stay between the five bigwigs of the cabinet.

He thought that the Empress Dowager would reprimand him, after all, the five members of the cabinet are very important to the current court structure, and the departure of any one person is an act that makes the government and the opposition unbalanced.

It's just that I never thought that the Queen Mother really didn't care.

Just when Zhu Qizhen was thinking about this matter, Yang Rong also came.

Wang Zhen personally went to invite it.

Yang Rong naturally knew Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen led Yang Rong to Zhuqi Town, and immediately there were brocade guards in civilian clothes, surrounding the surroundings tightly, and there was no way to leak through, and there was also a lot of traffic passing not far away, but they didn't know that this was only a few dozen steps away, and it was where the emperor was.

When Yang Rong saw Zhu Qizhen, he had already prepared in his heart, and immediately saluted and said, "The old minister greets Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Mr. doesn't need to be polite, this is outside the palace." ”

Yang Rong said: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, there is no distinction between inside and outside the palace. Immediately, Yang Rong's voice became louder, and he said: "Your Majesty bears the weight of the country's society, such a white dragon fish suit, once it is lost, where will the world be placed?" ”

"Your Majesty, please return to the palace immediately."

"Mian Ren," Before Zhu Qizhen could speak, the Empress Dowager spoke, saying: "Today's matter, it is my fault, it was I who went out of the city to send King Xiang, and the emperor is helpless, Mian Ren does not need to blame him." ”

Yang Rong listened to the words of the Empress Dowager, and a trace of joy flashed in the corners of his eyes. said: "The ministers obey the decree of the Empress Dowager." ”

As the Empress Dowager said, Yang Rong's heart of fame is much heavier than Yang Shiqi's. Yang Shiqi was a little disheartened because of his unfilial son.

But Yang Rong didn't.

Yang Rong didn't have the idea of leaving the court, but the emperor had already approved it, and he couldn't rely on it. If you leave early, you might be able to spend the New Year at home.
