Li Cangxing's heart sank suddenly, and his two sword eyebrows rose: "Mr. Yang, do you know me very well?" Why do you say that about me! ”

Yang Shen smiled slightly, picked up the teacup again, and took a sip gently: "Cangxing, last time we were in the Mirror Lake Hut, although we didn't meet, but you and I can be regarded as having a conversation, you should know that I know your details very well." You deceived and drove Ziguang when you were in Wudang, and later made a love affair with Mu Lanxiang and then deceived Lu Bing's father and daughter, even if you learned such a world-wide martial arts, you still can't escape the fate of being a chess piece, if it weren't for the Southern Shaolin Conference a while ago, I'm afraid that you are still playing as a monkey for Feng Wu now, am I wrong? Oh, by the way, when you come back to Yunnan, you are using Lu Bing again. Tut-tut, Cangxing, your fate is really sad, I feel distressed when I see it. ”

Li Cangxing said coldly: "Yang Shen, are we very familiar? Only my elders and my close people can call me Cangxing, what are you, taking advantage of me like this? ”

Yang Shen smiled and shook his head: "No, Cangxing, you misunderstood, I don't call you by your full name, it's not that I want to rely on the old and sell the old, but I really don't know, should I call you Zhu Cangxing or His Royal Highness King Gui, or call you Li Daxia?" ”

Li Cangxing's eyes flashed with coldness: "Do you think I'm the same as you, Xihan's identity as the prince?" You people, one by one, are keen on power, don't think about whether others are as good as you. ”

Yang Shen sighed: "I'll call you Heavenly Wolf, this should be the most suitable." Sky wolf, you must know that what people cannot change in this life is their own origin and bloodline. No matter how much you deny it, you are the prince of the Ming clan. Although the emperor does not recognize you, he does not even know your save. But what flows in your body is the dragon blood of Emperor Hongwu, if not, how can you control ancient divine weapons like the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Mo Evil Sword so easily?! I think you're cheap and good. ”

Li Cangxing's sword eyebrows raised: "Mr. Yang, I know that you are the number one talent in the world, and you have the advantage of your tongue, and no one in the world is your opponent, and I came back to you today to find you, and I didn't want to fight this kind of boring verbal battle with you." Rather, I want to know from you what I want to know. I don't want to do it a second time to you during the day today, Mr. Yang is a smart person, and it is better to solve this matter smoothly. ”

A smile appeared on Yang Shen's face: "Heavenly Wolf, what do you want to know?" ”

Li Cangxing's eyes were blazing: "Today I have enough time and patience, I want to hear you say a lot of things, you had better steal Taizu's tips from your father when he taught Lin Fengxian, no." It's best to start with the incident when your father found a killer to assassinate my mother, and talk about the things you have done over the years, especially the relationship with the master of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect. Explain it to me one by one! ”

Yang Shen nodded: "It's okay, these things are stuffy in my heart." It's been almost forty years, but I can't talk to anyone. It just so happens that there is a listener like you today. Sky wolf, these things are closely related to your life, and I just take this opportunity to let you know how pitiful you are living in this life. ”

"I'll start with your father's mother and concubine, I think you should also know, your father is Emperor Zhengde, and your mother is the Mongolian princess Doyan Nala, it was absolutely impossible for the two to be together, but by mistake, the Mongolian princess put on makeup and entered the customs to spy on the military, and your father was a playboy emperor who didn't like to stay in the inner hall, and he also ran out alone and got acquainted with this Mongolian princess, and then they fell in love at first sight and were together, but your father is bent on going his own way, not only did not send your mother back to Mongolia, but also built a leopard room for her, and he didn't stay in the palace to deal with state affairs, and accompanied your mother in the leopard room every day. ”

Li Cangxing said sharply: "My parents are happy with each other and love each other sincerely, and you are not allowed to slander them." ”

Yang Shen's expression became terrifying, and he waved his hand excitedly: "No, your parents are not ordinary people, especially your father, if he wants to pursue love, don't be the emperor, at least give way to someone else who can afford Zhu Mingxia, marry the princess of the enemy country, and have children, how can Emperor Hongwu, who expelled the Tartars, be willing!" ”

Li Cangxing sneered: "It's clear that you officials have bad intentions and don't eat the ancients, even Emperor Hongwu has also married a Mongolian concubine, why can't you go to my father's emperor?" ”

Yang Shen shook his head: "If it's just an ordinary concubine, it's naturally nothing, but your father wants to make your mother the queen of the main family, and under the bitter advice of the ministers, he actually threw down the government and ran to the leopard room alone." Sky wolf, you say this should also be a mutual affection? Your mother didn't give birth to you in the palace, to put it mildly, whether Emperor Zhengde is your father or not, we can't guarantee it. In case of a wild seed that can get my Ming dynasty, how can we, the courtiers, go to see Emperor Hongwu and my ancestors after the death of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Li Cangxing stood up suddenly, pointed his sword at Yang Shen, and said angrily: "The surname is Yang, who do you say is a wild seed!" Do you have what it takes to say it again? ”

Yang Shen's face did not change, and he said without flinching: "I didn't say you, you don't have to substitute yourself like this, but your mother is a princess of an enemy country and a child of unknown origin, as a courtier, shouldn't you strongly oppose your ascension to the throne?" Who dares to guarantee that you are the authentic Zhu Ming bloodline! ”

Li Cangxing calmed down the boiling blood in his chest, sat back in his chair, and lowered the tone of his voice a little: "My mother doesn't like this queen position, I know that she just wants to stay with my father, but that's it, you are still struggling with each other, hurting the killer, what are your intentions!" Do you dare to say that you are a loyal minister?! ”

Yang Shen replied without hesitation: "Of course we are loyal ministers, but we are loyal to the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors and the ancestors, not Emperor Zhengde alone, he himself does not abide by the ancestral system, he wants to marry your mother as the queen, and also make you the prince, then it is no wonder that we are loyal ministers, so my father sent a large number of righteous people to the leopard room to assassinate your mother and son, but it is a pity that the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes." I actually went on a business trip and let you go to Wudang Mountain. has lived to this day, and it can be regarded as a creation and a man. God bless me. ”

Li Cangxing said coldly: "I won't settle accounts with you for these things first, you will not end well if you do this kind of thing, my father and emperor will end up depressed, but your newly selected Emperor Jiajing is definitely not at the mercy of your father and son. ”

Yang Shen's face flushed slightly. sighed: "I also blame my father for being too loyal, I deeply feel that Emperor Zhengde was stubborn and unsuccessful since he was a child, and he was even more lawless when he grew up with power, so he wanted to find a smart and virtuous clan vassal king to inherit the throne." Emperor Jiajing has a great reputation among the princes of the clan, so my father also agreed to him joining the throne, but I didn't expect that as soon as he ascended the throne, he would engage in this big ceremony incident, and it would be a tug of war for several years. Taking the opportunity to expel all the officials of our father and son from the court and take sole power, we still underestimate his ability. ”

Li Cangxing sneered: "Being cocooned and self-bound, this sentence is the most suitable to describe you." But what I want to ask you is that Yan Song was the culprit who betrayed your father and son back then, why can you and Yan Song still maintain a cooperative relationship? ”

The corners of Yang Shen's mouth hooked disdainfully. A grim look flashed in his eyes: "Yan Song? Hmph, from start to finish. It's just a dog raised by our Yang family, do you think he really has the ability to cover the sky with one hand? Do you think his strict party can really run rampant in the world? Dream on. No, our Yang family is secretly planning a qiē for him. With his little ability, he would have rushed back to his hometown for Xia Yan! ”

Li Cangxing's heart moved: "What does this mean?" Does Yan Song still have to rely on your father and son who have been demoted to control the situation? ”

Yang Shen sneered: "Heavenly wolf, you are still a martial artist, and you don't know about officialdom, on the surface, when the head of the court is in power, under one person, above ten thousand, but this qiē is rootless water, as long as the emperor is unhappy, he can immediately degrade his official and seize his power, in the end he still has nothing, so the wise cabinet chiefs of the past generations have all begun to form relationships before entering the cabinet, like the same year as the Jinshi, the same fellow villagers who entered Beijing to take the exam together, their own teachers, their own protégés, are all natural relationships and allies, the more you know these people, the more allies you have in the officialdom, and over time, when these allies and henchmen of yours can control more than half of the courtiers, then the emperor can't help you! It was precisely because of this deep darkness that my father was able to become the elder of the Three Dynasties and control the government for decades! ”

Li Cangxing's eyes flashed, he shook his head, and said: "Mr. Yang, you are not ashamed again, if your father is really so powerful and can control the entire government, then it will not let the emperor directly dismiss all the four or five hundred officials of your party, drive them out of the capital, exile those who are exiled, and those who are confiscated into the army will be confiscated." Isn't it? ”

Yang Shen sighed, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes: "We have calculated everything, it was originally calculated clearly, from the central government to the cabinet, down to the officials of various ministries, most of them are our party, advancing and retreating together, there will be no problem, that is, Yan Song, at that time, my father was also dead set on the ground, back then, we officials, could force Emperor Zhengde to be unable to establish a queen, so we could only hide in the leopard room by ourselves, and even knew that we sent someone to assassinate your mother, and he couldn't retaliate at all, this is our strength, compared to today's Yan Song party, Only strong, not weak. Because after all, the Yan Party still has the Qing faction's ministers to contain it, and we were a dominant family back then, and we could even assume real power. ”

Li Cangxing thought for a moment and shook his head: "But you didn't calculate that Emperor Jiajing could actually reinstate those semi-retired officials in Nanjing to fill these vacant positions for you, right?" ”

A sad look flashed on Yang Shen's face, and he gritted his teeth: "Yes, that's it, thousands of calculations, this one is missed, although I have moved the capital since Jingjing, Nanjing is called the capital, but there are also six departments, according to the official position of the imperial court, except for the cabinet, all the official positions are set up exactly the same, but the officials in these positions are all the ones who have failed the political struggle, or are old and mediocre, and are ready to go home. And at that time, my father also had a few cronies in Nanjing, and the important positions were all our people, according to common sense, ordinary people just wanted to be ambitious, and it was impossible to toss any results! ”

Li Cangxing sneered: "But you just don't know that the head of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, the guy named Zhang Xuan, although he is pedantic and slow, has no ability to deal with actual government affairs, but he is a nerd who drills dead books and admits death, and what is even more terrifying is that this person can understand the direction of the wind and will do political speculation. The emperor is no longer alone, and you are not reasonable in this matter, and you quote scriptures to Zhang Xuan, and you are also incomplete, I am afraid that even you, Mr. Yang, who is talented and high, are unexpected. ”

Yang Shen's face shook lightly, and he said slowly: "Actually, I was also against my father's opinion back then, and persuaded him not to press the emperor in this matter, the little emperor wants to recognize who is his father and let his mother be the queen mother, that is his own business, in fact, he can't do without us at all in the major affairs of the court, and we have real power, especially personnel power, he doesn't even have a trustworthy eunuch, and Lu Bing, the brocade guard who came with him, sent us to the field again, which can be described as a lonely palm, that is, he has ambitions, It is impossible to establish his own team in ten years, and there is no need to have a bad relationship with him. ”

"But my father just didn't listen, saying that this kid is smart, if he doesn't give him a little bit of power when he is newly on the throne, let him know that we are powerful, everything depends on his temperament, I am afraid that he will become the second Zhengde Emperor!"

Li Cangxing nodded: "I already know about this matter, I don't want to hear more, in short, you father and son, as well as your gang, were finally uprooted and driven out of the court." But what is the relationship between Yan Song and you? Listen to you, he didn't betray you? ”

Yang Shen shook his head: "Yan Song was I asked him to take the initiative to go to the emperor to join the emperor, the situation at that time was clear, my father would undoubtedly be defeated, Emperor Jiajing's mother had entered the harem, as the queen mother, and his father also added the name of the imperial examination, the only thing that he didn't do was that his father's tablet did not enter the ancestral temple."
