Yang Shangjing's carriage had just passed through Chongwen Gate, and he heard the sound of the gong opening the road from a distance, and saw the emperor's guard of honor coming this way, and the Jinyi guard of the brigade opened the way, followed by the fanzi of Dongchang, and the chariot was surrounded by impenetrable wind, and the street side did not care whether it was a pedestrian walking or a hawker doing business, all honestly let aside.

After all, the brocade guards in the flying fish costume have whips in their hands.

Yang Zhong, who was driving the carriage, thought for a while, and drove the car to the alley next to him, Yang Shangjing, who was sitting in the back seat, did not squeak, how to say that Uncle Zhong had also seen the old style of Emperor Yongle's ascension to heaven, there was no need to block the roadside at this time, and stretched his neck like those flat-headed people to "see the face of the sky".

Stopping the horse that was driving the car, Uncle Zhong turned his head to look at the honor guard who came from afar, and sighed: "In this court, I still need to be stable." ”

Yang Shangjing nodded, and also sighed: "The first assistant of the cabinet is new, although the Nanyang University scholar has enough qualifications, he is cautious, and it is difficult to support alone, the court must be floating people's hearts, at this moment Wang Zhen must be following His Majesty's side, this time the royal car to pay tribute to the first assistant, one is to stabilize people's hearts, and the other is to observe the movements of the court at close range, so as to take the next move." ”

When Uncle Zhong heard this, he looked back at Yang Shangjing in some surprise, he really couldn't imagine that the young young master of his own family would have such knowledge.

Yang Shangjing is right, in the entire Chinese politics, "stability overrides everything" and "once a son of heaven and a courtier" are a pair of irreconcilable contradictions, but they do exist.

If the new emperor wants to maintain the rule of a dynasty, he must not kill the ministers in the court when he gradually takes power; But in order to establish his authority and let the court implement his will, he also had to dismiss the old ministers of the previous dynasty and bring his old ministers to power, so this process is actually the time to test the political skills of the monarch.

"I hope I don't make any trouble." Uncle Zhong sighed, "It's just that now the emperor believes in Wang Zhen and lets him be in charge of the celebrant supervisor, don't be bewitched by slander and ruin the thousands of miles of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Yang Shangjing leaned on the car, and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Your Majesty was too young when he succeeded to the throne, there were no old ministers in the palace, let alone the team of the East Palace, all he could rely on was just a Wang Zhen who had been by his side since he was a child, and if he wanted to take back power from the hands of the Manchu Dynasty, who else could he rely on if he didn't rely on him?" I'm afraid that this incident will make Wang Zhen check something and cause a disaster for the party......"

Uncle Zhong looked up at the blue sky in March in Jingshi, and couldn't help sighing: "I hope so, if it is really Wang Zhen in power, I am afraid that the young master will be unstable in this center." ”

Yang Shangjing heard this, nodded, and fell into silence, as the head of the eunuchs, under the power structure of the Ming Dynasty, the contradictions between Wang Zhen and the cabinet and the foreign dynasty are almost irreconcilable, even if he does not cross over, he can also get such a conclusion from his ears and eyes, that is, the relationship between Wang Zhen and his grandfather must be extremely bad.

The father died and the son succeeded, this kind of relationship of grievance inheritance was extremely common in the feudal era, and Yang Shangjing was likely to become Wang Zhen's punching bag to vent his dissatisfaction, just because he was Yang Rong's grandson.

Seeing Yang Shangjing's expression, Uncle Zhong stopped talking, and as soon as the emperor's guard of honor passed, he immediately drove to his home.

Because of the problem of etiquette, this house is not the bachelor's mansion where Yang Rong lived before his death, but a small courtyard, but it is very luxuriously repaired, and the two maids who serve Yang Shangjing do not say that the country is beautiful and fragrant, but also the appearance of the flower and the moon.

Uncle Zhong sent Yang Shangjing back to the back house, and instructed the maid who came out to greet him: "Zhiqin, go and tell the kitchen to boil some bird's nest for the young master." ”

This maid called Zhiqin was slightly blessed, and then walked quickly and went to the kitchen, Uncle Zhong took Yang Shangjing into the bedroom, Yang Shangjing looked at the familiar and unfamiliar environment, and sighed: "Wait a minute, I will trouble Uncle Zhong to go to the Hanlin Academy to deliver a note, I am still a little unwell, I am afraid that I will not be able to go to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow to be on duty." ”

He didn't go to duty, of course, it wasn't a physical problem, in fact, it was because of memory problems, and now he inherited the memory of the original Yang Jian, but it was like flipping through a book, and when he arrived at a place like Hanlin Academy, he opened his mouth with a confused face...... It's easy to roll over.

"A little thing, the young master doesn't have to worry about it, just ask for a three-to-five day holiday, it's nothing." Yang Zhong smiled and waved his hand, looking disapproving, "Young master, it's better to rest, but you must not fall ill." ”

As he spoke, another maid named Mingqi walked in with tea, Uncle Zhong looked at it and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he got up and said goodbye: "The old servant will arrange for someone to go to the Hanlin Courtyard to deliver the note, and it won't be in the way." ”

Looking at Uncle Zhong's back, Yang Shangjing was a little confused, listening to the tone of Uncle Zhong's words, it was as if the Hanlin Academy was opened by his own family, and it didn't matter if he didn't go to work for a few days, this routine ...... It's a little wrong.

Then he remembered that his grandfather had been in charge of the Hanlin Academy for a period of time before his death, and even if there was a little contradiction within the Sanyang cabinet, it was still one on the whole, and the Hanlin Academy was also a place where eunuchs generally couldn't insert people, so now there must be some protégés of Yang Rong in his early years, and he, Yang Rong's second grandson, wants to rest for a few days...... It's really not a problem.

So, Yang Shangjing rested at home, sorting out his memories while looking for the content of this history of the Ming Dynasty in his original memory, trying to find a way to get rid of the turmoil in the court.

However, at noon the next day, Uncle Zhong walked into his study with a depressed face and handed him a note, he looked puzzled, and thought that he had not given approval for leave, but after looking at the note, he found that he was still too optimistic.

Because someone made a big news, just this morning, several wastes of the six departments took advantage of their own convenience to be closer to the center, and directly stuffed the fold into the General Administration Department, and the core of the content of the fold is "the country will not be the country", and then around this core, it is very quoted from the scriptures to say a few appalling examples, what refers to the deer as a horse, the disaster of the party, fully reflects their profound historical and cultural accomplishment, the whole article is described in eight words - flowers, brilliant writing.

However, this is useless, Wang Zhen's so-called eunuch is not even a complete man, so he doesn't know what is called "literati romance", so these letters were sent to the celebrant for less than half an hour, and these wastes were invited to Jinyiwei Prison to drink tea.

"It looks like yesterday's result...... It's not ideal. Yang Shangjing flipped through this note and sighed, even if he already knew the result in his heart, he was inevitably a little frustrated when it happened," Wang Zhen ...... It should have been the result he wanted. ”

When Uncle Zhong heard this, he also sighed, he had lived for more than sixty years, and he was almost the age of Gu Laixi, and he also felt powerless.
