Chapter 61: The Storm Comes
The seizure of the heir and the seizure of the throne, which is a common thing in history, will not be less in any country, and there is almost no lack of blood. On the surface, it seems to be calm, but the blood flowing in the dark tide can almost merge into a river. Even if it is a famous monarch through the ages, he will never be soft when he kills his brothers and fathers, because if he can't sit on the throne, no one will ever know whether you are a bright monarch or a faint monarch.
Yang Yi felt that no matter whether Emperor Weizong was indecisive or pursued perfection, he did not set up a crown prince early, and he broke a hole in this embankment that had accumulated countless floods, and sooner or later it would collapse and then destroy the world.
The rushing flood is merciless, and it never thinks about how many good fishermen there are downstream, as long as it feels that something is an eyesore, it will be mercilessly washed away and drowned.
Yang Yi wants to be a fisherman, as long as he can spend his days fishing by the river. So before the storm came, he tried to climb ashore to escape the storm from the imperial power, but there were always people who would not allow him, and they always wanted to drag him into the water. At this time, Yang Yi not only wanted to show his outstanding water nature, but also needed to put down the fishing rod in his hand and show the courage to face the wind and rain. Under the rush of water, he is still very clear about the truth that if you don't advance, you will retreat.
Yang Yi didn't plan to report this matter to Dali Temple, so that he made himself appear very passive, and he had to make the other party unable to understand himself in order to grasp more initiative.
In addition, after a mental struggle that was not too motivating, Yang Yi still decided to let Yuan Liu go, even if Hong Zhiyi was chanting in his ear the truth of cutting grass to eradicate the roots.
There are no more than two reasons for letting Yuan Liu go, one is that after all, he is a guy in his own store, and he is used by the man in black without knowing it. Second, I have to thank this guy for having a poor old mother.
"Leave the imperial capital with your mother, and never let me see you again."
Yang Yi admits that he has some women's kindness, and everyone always has some knots that they can't get over.
However, this matter is not necessarily a bad thing, at least everyone knows that their master is not soft on the enemy, but he is kind to the people related to him, and inadvertently consolidates Yang Yi's position in everyone's hearts.
After dealing with everything, it was already dawn, Yang Yi and Hong Zhi said goodbye to everyone and went to the military department to report. The two of them who had not slept all night were not in good spirits, and it was rare that they did not pull Master Jia to "fight the master book", and Master Jia took this opportunity to hurriedly deal with all the documents that had accumulated in the past few days.
Yang Yi shook his hands and slept on the chair all morning. It wasn't until ten o'clock in the afternoon that he was woken up by Hong Zhi for lunch.
The Great Light Dynasty, like many ancient people, mostly practiced a two-meal system. A meal at sunrise, a meal at sunrise, a meal at a day, according to Yang Yi's estimate, it is probably a meal at 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning in the previous life, and a meal at 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon is considered a day.
However, Yang Yi believes that only three meals a day can meet people's daily sufficient nutrition and uniform calorie intake, so he insists that as long as it is related to him, he must implement a three-meal system.
"Where's Lao Jia?" Yang Yi asked Hong Zhidao while stuffing rice into his mouth.
"I've gone to the Ministry of Officials to get the review document, and I should be back soon."
Hong Zhi was right, before the two of them finished eating a bowl of rice, Master Jia rushed back.
Yang Yi beckoned: "Come to Lao Jia, eat first." ”
Master Jia put all the official documents in his arms into the inner hall, and then took out a basin of water and washed his hands, which is one of the strange provisions of Yang Yi's main regulations: you must wash your hands before eating, otherwise you are not allowed to serve on the table.
After washing his hands, Master Jia sat opposite Yang Yi with his buttocks, picked up the bowl and said, "I just learned a news from the Ministry of Officials, something happened last night. ”
"What's the matter?" Yang Yi asked.
Master Jia condensed: "Someone assassinated the prince. ”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Yi and Hong Zhi were both shocked, and they both looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes: "Could it be that last night's incident was leaked?" ”
But he heard Master Jia say: "The Third Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the Eighth Prince's Mansion have all been attacked by assassins. ”
Yang Yi was even more surprised, he didn't expect that the capital was so big last night, not only did someone attack him, but nearly half of the princes were attacked.
"Did you succeed?" Hong Zhi asked.
Master Jia put a few pickles in his mouth and said slowly: "The Eighth Prince Yang Jie was injured, but there is no danger, the assassin heard that he was not caught alive." ”
Yang Yi asked, "Is there a clue?" What did you find out? ”
Master Jia put down his chopsticks, turned around and looked at the door to make sure that there was no talent, and said softly: "I heard from the people in the Ministry that the eldest prince did it." ”
Yang Yi and Hong Zhi beside him looked at each other again, thinking that the assassination was just aimed at themselves, but they didn't expect it to be so big. The conspiracy of the people behind the scenes is very clear, and it is best to succeed, so that there will be one or even a few fewer opponents competing for the throne, and if you don't succeed, you will pour all the dirty water on the eldest prince Yang Ang.
Yang Yi thought for a while and said, "Lao Hong, don't stay here after you finish eating, go out to find out the news, that person will definitely have a backhand." ”
Hong Zhi nodded, simply didn't eat, put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out quickly.
Master Jia watched Hong Zhi leave, and then looked at Yang Yidao: "Alas... It seems that the capital is about to change in the next few days. ”
Master Jia is right, the sky of Diqing has changed. However, he didn't wait for a few days, and in the afternoon, Hong Zhi hurried back with a solemn face.
Hong Zhi walked quickly to Yang Yi, took a sip of the teapot on his table, took a sip, took a breath and said: "Jingzhao Mansion Yin was dismissed, and the city patrol guards on duty last night beheaded more than twenty" paused and condensed: "The third prince Yang Qi, the third prince Yang Qi, the fifth prince Yang Zong, and the sixth prince Yang Su looked for the emperor to cry, and Li Cen and other officials also asked the emperor to investigate this matter strictly. ”
"The emperor ordered the eldest prince Yang Ang not to leave the palace without a decree, which is equivalent to house arrest."
Yang Yi lay on the chair with his eyes closed and listened to Hong Zhi's speech, and his index finger tapped gently and rhythmically. Now it seems that the people behind the scenes have had a conspiracy from the very beginning, first using the fierce Di people to attack the driver to suppress the pillar Wang Yi of the eldest prince Yang Ang, and then using the assassination of the prince to frame him for further suppression.
Yang Yi didn't believe that the emperor didn't see the clues, but now Yang Ang has become the target of public criticism, and no one dares to protect him, and the emperor's house arrest is already the softest way to deal with it.
However, as things continue to ferment, the eldest prince Yang Ang can be safe and sound under the protection of the emperor, but there is no hope of competing for the throne again. In Yang Yi's view, this is what later generations called public opinion pressure. Whether you are innocent or not, a basin of footwater splashed on your body will be stained and difficult to wash.
If someone plants it, someone will naturally climb up, and judging from the current situation, the political opponent of the eldest prince Yang Ang, the third prince Yang Qi, is undoubtedly very accurate, at this time, as long as Yang Ang is stepped on with one foot, he will never be able to turn over.
"Your Highness... What are we going to do? Hong Zhi asked with a frown, he also knew very well that Yang Ang had been wronged.
PS: Send a chapter first, and there will be more in the evening.
