Chapter 306 Fooling the Emperor [2]
Zhang Guoji heard such a shocking news, he was frightened, got up and walked around anxiously, since the emperor drove him out of Beijing, he guessed that the queen had fallen out of favor, but he didn't expect the matter to be so serious.
Empress Zhang is his daughter, he understands that Empress Zhang has a good temperament, and he never tells them about the affairs of the palace!
This is good, the emperor wants to abolish his daughter and appoint someone else as the queen, how should his daughter deal with herself then? How should the Zhang family deal with themselves?
Zhang Guoji hung his feet and sighed: "How can the emperor not miss the old love so much? ”
"Guozhang, the matter has come to this point, it is better to hurry up and think of countermeasures, if the emperor really decrees to abolish the queen's mother, then it will be difficult to recover!" Yang Xiaoyu seemed to remind Zhang Guoji kindly, but in fact, he was secretly happy in his heart.
Zhang Guoji was in a panic, how could he have any ideas, and said urgently: "Lord Yang, Zhang really has no good plan, what can you do to save the queen?" ”
"The emperor, if the emperor wants to abolish the queen, he must make a clear decree to the world, and the attitude of the officials is particularly important, if they support the queen, the emperor will want to abolish the queen, and it will be difficult to issue the holy decree, if the officials support the emperor, it will be difficult to say!" Yang Xiaoyu said worriedly.
"The two adults in the cabinet, Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe, are both veterans of the Three Dynasties, they should be able to say a fair word for the queen!" Zhang Guoji said in a low voice.
"The emperor wants to abolish the queen, because the daughter of Donglin official Fang Dazhen is favored by the emperor, the national lord can think about it, the daughter of Donglin official may ascend to the throne of the queen of Feng, so will Ye Xianggao, the minister of Donglin, support the queen?" Yang Xiaoyu shook his head and said.
Zhang Guoji somewhat understood, it turned out that someone was favored by the emperor, and the emperor wanted to abolish it!
If the daughter of a civilian family is not afraid, but if it is the daughter of a Donglin official, it will not be good.
Above the court, half of the power and speech officials are in the hands of Donglin officials. If they support the emperor's abolition, there is really no room for recovery.
"What can Mr. Yang do, although he is willing to fully cooperate!"
Zhang Guoji is not stupid, Yang Xiaoyu is the grandson of Fang Congzhe, the leader of Zhejiang Qi and Chu, and his words represent Fang Congzhe's meaning to a certain extent, and Fang Congzhe has always been at odds with the Donglin party and government headed by Ye Xianggao. The two forces are fighting openly and secretly in the court, this time the emperor wants to abolish the queen, if the Donglin Party supports the emperor, then Zhejiang Qichu and other officials will support the queen, so he has nothing to worry about.
Yang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "The national lord can leave a person who can enter the palace to see the queen's mother, so that we will have something to pass on to the mother." It's also a little more convenient! ”
"Didn't Lord Yang lead the guards? Can't even you see the queen? Zhang Guozhang asked suspiciously.
"Although Yang is leading the guards, the emperor lives in the palace, and Yang is escorted, so it is difficult to go back to the palace to see the queen, and Yang is a foreign minister, if he enters the inner palace to see the queen, he may make the emperor suspicious. Then things will be even more unfavorable to the mother! Yang Xiaoyu explained.
Zhang Guoji nodded suddenly and asked, "Then who is the most appropriate person for Zhang to leave to see the queen?" ”
"The person who entered the palace to see the queen's mother. It must be Niangniang's mother's family, and it can't be a man, otherwise, if the people in the palace see it, they will say that the abbot is plotting against him. Looking down, the abbot can leave his wife or miss! Yang Xiaoyu said softly.
Zhang Guoji thought about it for a while, his daughter Zhang Yan has a good temperament, and she has never been on good terms with his two-room concubine, only she has a good relationship with his second daughter.
"How does Lord Yang look at the little girl?" Zhang Guoji asked in a deep voice.
That's what Yang Xiaoyu was waiting for. He wants to use Queen Zhang to play a game of chess, and the most indispensable person among them is Zhang Yan's sister Zhang Qiong!
"Yes, if Miss Zhang enters the palace to see the queen, things will be much easier," Yang Xiaoyu nodded and said.
Zhang Guoji also felt that it was a good way for his daughter to stay, so that he could know the queen's situation in the palace, and try to find out what to do, after all, in his opinion, Yang Xiaoyu was an outsider and could not be trusted.
"In this way, Zhang went to call the little girl and asked her to go back to Beijing with Lord Yang!" Zhang Guoji turned to Yang Xiaoyu and said when he went out.
Yang Xiaoyu nodded slightly, after seeing Zhang Guoji leave, the corners of his mouth raised a touch of mockery, Zhang Guoji read his head badly, no wonder the world often says nerds, it turns out that it refers to people like Zhang Guoji.
I waited a long time.
Zhang Guoji turned around and came back and told Yang Xiaoyu that his daughter was packing her things, and when she was done, she could go to Beijing with Yang Xiaoyu and ask Yang Xiaoyu to take care of her daughter on her behalf.
Yang Xiaoyu agreed with all his mouth.
Subsequently, Zhang Guoji asked some trivial things in the palace, and after his daughter cleaned up, he sent Yang Xiaoyu and others out of the inn. /
Zhang Qiong was wearing a pale white dress, and only one maid was by her side.
Zhang Guoji prepared a carriage for his daughter, and told her to listen to Yang Xiaoyu's instructions in everything, and secretly instructed her daughter to write to him about the affairs in the palace at any time.
Zhang Qiong knew that the matter was urgent, and according to Zhang Guoji's words, she got into the carriage late at night, and Yang Xiaoyu led people to protect her and came to the capital.
Along!
Yang Xiaoyu rode his horse and did not do anything wrong to Zhang Qiong, he seemed to have forgotten what happened in the Hanguang Temple in Xishan.
The next morning, the sun rose and the gates were wide open.
Yang Xiaoyu rode his horse to the city gate, took out the token of the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, and asked the soldiers defending the city to immediately let their group go.
The sergeant was accustomed to the tokens of the yamen of all parties in the capital, especially the most tokens of the military department, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei, so he didn't even ask a few words, and let Yang Xiaoyu and his party enter the city.
Yang Xiaoyu took the carriage of the guards to escort Zhang Qiong to a remote courtyard in the south of the city, although this courtyard was not luxurious, but it was not inhabited by ordinary people.
Zhang Qiong knew that her identity was inconvenient for people to know, and she had no resistance to Yang Xiaoyu's arrangement, she took the maid around the courtyard, she felt okay, and immediately thanked Yang Xiaoyu with a smile.
Yang Xiaoyu told Zhang Qiong not to go out on the street during this time, and not to associate with people, so he left ten guards to protect Zhang Qiong, and he took the other two guards to the mansion and returned.
Just returned to Fuchu.
Chen Yingren stepped forward to report that he saw a man in black at the secret passage that Yang Xiaoyu said last night, this man in black was very skilled in martial arts, injured several guards, and escaped in the dark.
Yang Xiaoyu was shocked, only he and Princess Le'an knew about the secret passage, could it be that anyone else knew about it?
Yang Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, and felt that the matter of the secret passage was not so simple, a man in black appeared near the secret passage, what did he want to do? Or what are his intentions?
Yang Xiaoyu doesn't know anything about this!
"Send additional men to guard the secret passage, and once you find a suspicious person, arrest him immediately!" Yang Xiaoyu ordered in a cold voice.
"Young master, there are only more than 100 guards we brought from Jiangnan, and now they are all scattered outside, and if we send people out, there will be no guards in the house to protect them!" Chen Yingren said embarrassedly.
Yang Xiaoyu turned around and walked to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a handwritten letter, ordering Xu Xianchun, the Fusi of Beizhen, to transfer a cavalry from a hundred households to guard the gate for him.
Then he gave the order to go down, the guards in the palace guarded the inside, and the brocade guards rode outside.
As he had more and more things to do, and there were fewer and fewer people available, Yang Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, wrote a letter, and sent someone to send it back to Jiangnan quickly.
Yang Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, and then ordered someone to pass on his words to Hu Cheng and Huang Changhe, and asked them to send the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to take strict precautions, and after late at night, no one was allowed to walk around on the street, of course, not limited to the officials of the court, but only to the common people and those who were of three religions and nine ranks.
After arranging some trivial matters, Yang Xiaoyu put his mind on how to get power.
Previously, he ostensibly promised Ke Yinyue, but in fact he had other plans.
Now the carpenter emperor accompanies Fang Weiyi every day, how can he manage the affairs of the court, this bad news for the courtiers is a good news for him.
In his hands he held the Beizhen Fu Division and the Guard Division, these two institutions accounted for half of the Jinyi Guard system, and the remaining half were the hidden piles sent by the Jinyi Guards and Jinyi Wei to patrol the city, most of these hidden piles were scattered in the north, and were in charge of one of the Jinyi Guard's fellow intellectuals.
There is only one experience division left, which is under the jurisdiction of Tian Ergeng, the commander of Jinyiwei.
Yang Xiaoyu knew very well that if he wanted to succeed, he must first completely control the Jinyi Guard, so that tens of thousands of Jinyi guards in the capital would obey his orders. (To be continued......)
