Chapter 869: Yang Zhen's Choice (Part II)
After looking at his brother with some apprehension for a long time, Yang Chen took a deep breath and asked solemnly, "Then you, have you ever thought about the consequences of making such a decision?" β
"The consequences? It's nothing more than standing on the opposite side of those self-proclaimed orthodox officials, I, the commander of the brocade guard, am not on the same path as them, am I afraid that they won't succeed? Yang Zhen pursed his lips with some disdain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Indeed, if the two sides are hostile, as the leader of Jinyiwei, he will not be afraid of these guys at all, as long as the Son of Heaven has always trusted him, he will be undefeated. On the contrary, those officials have to weigh it, and Jinyiwei has too many means to deal with them.
Yang Chen shook his head and said: "Erlang, you understand wrong, I don't mean the trouble that may be brought to you because of this, I know, you are not a person who is afraid of trouble, they can't scare you, I mean, the impact on the world and history, have you thought about the consequences?" β
For a long time, although Yang Zhen, as a traveler, has changed a lot of historical trends, he has only done it passively, or has completed the change unconsciously. But now, he wants to take the initiative to change the established course of history, which will obviously put more pressure on people.
I don't want Yang Zhen's answer to be as sure as before: "I thought about it, but I don't think it will be worse than the original." Didn't you tell me, big brother, that is, because of this national dispute, the monarch and the minister lost harmony, and when today's son became a real loner, and finally even thirty years did not have an early dynasty, and did not see the foreign ministers, which made the Ming Dynasty completely slide into the irretrievable abyss.
"There is also Zhu Changluo, who was elected by those courtiers, who died less than a month after ascending the throne, and this caused a series of changes, making the court more turbulent, and his two sons are not Ming Jun at all, this series of mistakes led to the final demise of the Ming Dynasty.
"In that case, why don't I try to make a change? In my opinion, this choice is no worse than the previous one in any way, don't you think? Speaking of this, Yang Zhen stared at his brother with burning eyes, waiting for his response.
After being stunned for a while, Yang Chen had to admit that he was a little moved by his brother. Indeed, if you think about it carefully, the future of the Ming Dynasty cannot be more unfavorable than the original course. Since it has been shown that this path is a dead end, why do you have to go one path to the dark instead of trying to take another path, as a prophetic traverser?
Perhaps, this road is still full of thorns, but if you don't try, how do you know if it can save the Ming Dynasty?
The more he thought about it, the more Yang Chen felt that this was reasonable, and finally said with a wry smile: "I originally wanted to persuade you, but you persuaded you in turn." β
"It seems that big brother, you agree with me?"
"This is really worth a try, but it is also quite difficult, the attitude of the officials in the DPRK and China is almost the same, with what you and I can do, it can't change much."
"It's man-made. And big brother, don't forget, it's not our two brothers who really insist on this the most, but today. As long as we work well with him, it may not be too difficult to turn this situation around. Yang Zhen saw that his brother had already made a move, so he hurriedly said as if cheering: "What's more, there is still time, as long as it drags on for a while, I believe that there will always be smart people who will make the right choice." β
"Well, it's all as you say. I hope that this time, I can really fulfill the will of the Son of Heaven! Yang Chen nodded solemnly and made his position clear.
"However, the top priority is to solve His Majesty's urgent need first, and let the officials temporarily stop the current continuous speech. And this, too, needs someone to stand up. Yang Zhen said again.
Yang Chen didn't volunteer this time, because he knew very well that this was a very offensive thing. Once someone really plays the Son of Heaven according to Yang Zhen's intentions, with the age of the emperor's eldest son, and the queen has not yet come out to make a fuss, maybe some people will approve, but more people will think that this person is flattering the Son of Heaven, and will definitely regard it as an alternative, even treacherous, and then this person's reputation in the court will be completely over, and he will even be snubbed and suppressed by others.
As an official in the DPRK, personal connections have always been the top priority, otherwise it is easy to be swallowed up by the undercurrent. Yang Chen had tasted this taste before, and he didn't want to come back a second time. Even if this would be of great benefit - the Son of Heaven would regard you as a confidant - unless it was a character like Yang Zhen, it would be difficult to protect himself.
But Yang Zhen, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, naturally couldn't do this kind of trick, so this matter could only be handed over to a certain court official.
Yang Zhen immediately understood his brother's thoughts, so naturally he would not make such a request, so he said: "Big brother, don't worry, I can still find a suitable person in this matter." "Indeed, now his Yang Dudu's subordinates are not all martial artists who can only fight and kill, and some civil officials who have little power are also secretly taking refuge in the court, which gives him a certain right to speak in the court.
"That's good......" Yang Chen smiled a little reluctantly, as if relaxed and embarrassed.
However, Yang Zhen didn't feel any unhappiness because of this, is this also human nature, it's not that there is no other way to choose, who will take this step? In fact, he didn't want his brother to do such a charge. After only a brief sweep in his mind, he already has the right candidate - Zhang Runsheng!
At noon the next day, Zhang Runsheng, who was sitting in the courtyard, received an invitation, and when he saw that it was Yang Zhen who asked him to come to the house at night, the spirit of the forty-year-old imperial historian was lifted.
This Zhang Yushi's officialdom career was indeed quite bumpy, and it was not until he was in his thirties that he barely passed the top three Tongjinshi. Then after ten years of ups and downs, he finally had a place in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. However, whether it is fame or ability, compared with those sharp-edged colleagues in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he seems so inconspicuous, if he continues like this, he will only waste his life like this, and finally retire with an official position of six or seven grades, and end up with a clean breeze and nothing.
But Zhang Runsheng really doesn't want his life to pass so plainly, and his only advantage is his hometown - he is from Huguang.
But now after all, it is different from the past, and the cabinet is no longer the powerful Huguang Jiangling man. Fortunately, he knew that the power of another Huguang person was not small - Yang Zhen! Although Jinyiwei and Wenchen have always been incompatible, once it is known that he has defected to Jinyiwei, he will inevitably be excluded by others, but the situation is like this, will he Zhang Yushi still worry about this?
Therefore, since last year, Zhang Runsheng has intended to befriend Yang Zhen. For such a fellow villager who took refuge in him, Yang Zhen did not refuse. It's a pity that for most of the past six months, Yang Zhen has not been able to get him to do anything, which makes Zhang Yushi a little overwhelmed.
And today, Yang Zhen suddenly asked him to come over to talk about things, obviously to use himself, which made Zhang Runsheng naturally have some hope, and felt that his opportunity might have come.
So after getting off duty, Zhang Yushi didn't go home, he just ate something in the restaurant outside, and seeing that it was dark, he hurried to Yang's Mansion to ask for a meeting.
Yang Zhen didn't expect this person to come so quickly, so he had to put down the dishes and chopsticks and invite someone to the study to talk.
Seeing Yang Zhen's solemn appearance, Zhang Runsheng's expression became more nervous: "I don't know what Yang Dudu ordered when he called the lower officials to come." β
"I invite you to come today, there is indeed a tricky matter that you need to do Zhang Yushi." As he spoke, Yang Zhen paused and stared at the other party again: "And once this thing is done, your situation will be a little bad." Of course, I will take care of you, and I will never let anything happen to you, and I will definitely not be able to treat you badly after the fact. β
Hearing him say that the matter was so serious, Zhang Runsheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously, but then, he still looked up at Yang Zhen: "Since it is your order from Yang Dudu, I, Zhang Runsheng, will definitely not refuse!" No matter how difficult it is, I will do my best to do it well, so please let me know. β
"Good!" Yang Zhen smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "You should know that the officials of the DPRK and China have been persuading His Majesty to establish a prince as soon as possible, right?" β
"This, Xia Guan naturally knows...... "I was going to do this, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be my turn to do this kind of thing...... Zhang Runsheng added in his heart with some sadness.
"What I want you to do is related to this matter, but instead of persuading Your Majesty to establish a prince, on the contrary, let Your Majesty suspend this matter." Yang Zhen said, then put the prepared rhetoric on the table and gently pushed it over: "I have already thought of the reasons, you just need to consider the wording and write a note." β
"Ah......" Zhang Runsheng was obviously taken aback, and his body shook even more.
As an official of the imperial court, even if he is isolated again, he also knows that this is the consensus of almost everyone, and once he openly disagrees with everyone at this time, his fate will naturally be very unbearable.
Looking at his embarrassed and uneasy appearance, Yang Zhen didn't make a sound, just leaned on the back of the chair there, slowly drinking tea, just waiting for the other party to weigh it himself.
And after being surprised, Zhang Runsheng quickly calmed down again, and had a certain understanding - obviously, this is a test of whether he can gain Yang Zhen's trust, for this reason, can he take this risk?
By the way, there is also the Son of Heaven, since this recital is to be given to the Son of Heaven, then Your Majesty will definitely know about it, this ......
"I don't have any place in the court, and I'm not bad for this. Then bet on this, it's a big deal to go back to your hometown early! After some thought, he finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Immediately, Zhang Runsheng looked at Yang Zhen, and arched his hand vigorously and said: "Since the lower official is a minister, he should share his worries for His Majesty, so leave this matter to me!" There was something heroic in his expression......
