Chapter 359: The loser of the three-way game dies
According to Wu Cong's analysis, Yang Ping'an is still valuable to Yang Rui at present, and it has not really threatened Yang Rui's stability of the throne. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Therefore, Yang Ping'an was recalled to Beijing this time, and Yang Rui really planned to marry him and Snow White.
At present, rumors are floating in people's hearts, and the exposure of Yang Ping'an's identity is indeed not a good thing for Yang Rui, especially after a hundred years, the influence of the Mandate of Heaven can still be so great, which is beyond his expectations and beyond Wu Cong's imagination.
It can be said that it is Yang Ping'an's identity as the Mandate of Heaven that makes more and more people in Southern Zhou accept the Heavenly Policy. Yang Rui originally wanted to use Yang Cao's identity to cause civil strife in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, but who would have thought that Yang Cao would dare to throw out Yang Ping'an's true identity?
You must know that the existence of the Mandate of Heaven is not only threatened by Yang Rui, but Yang Cao is no exception, because they all claim to be the true Son of Heaven and want to dominate the mountains and rivers. But the Destiny of Heaven is commanded by Heaven...... Since ancient times, only emperors have been appointed to heaven!
Yang Cao's move to burn all the jade and stones, the impact on themselves is not big for the time being, because they are Tian Cewei, and some people still know the origin of Tian Cewei back then, and under the deliberate arrangement of Tian Cewei, the rumors soon spread.
Yang Cao also took advantage of this to make the subjects of the Southern Zhou Dynasty accept her status as the lord of the Heavenly Policy, and she is currently considering whether to restore the surname Wu.
But Yang Rui's situation is very bad. Although no one in the court dared to discuss this matter, he knew that the Chinese military minister of the court was muttering about this matter in his heart. Even if these people will not blatantly support Yang Ping'an, most of them will sit back and wait for him and Yang Ping'an to decide their own preferences after separating the winners and losers.
Originally, no matter who the emperor is, they are the life of the courtiers, so why destroy the power that has been obtained for the so-called work of the dragon?
From this level, Yang Rui really wanted to kill Yang Ping'an immediately. In fact, when he learned that the rumors of the Mandate of Heaven had appeared and could not control it, he immediately recruited Xiao Taishi and Gao Lishi to his side, intending to order the Dragon Shadow Guard to come out and kill Yang Ping'an.
Scourge must be strangled in the cradle!
However, Taishi Xiao's words made him temporarily dispel this idea.
In Taishi Xiao's opinion, this generation of Mandate of Heaven, that is, Yang Ping'an, is much worse than the Mandate of Heaven of the previous generation.
Emperor Wu's Mandate of Heaven established the Tiance Mansion, gathered his talents, commanded the soldiers and horses to quell the civil strife, recuperated, and then swept through the Eight Desolations and Liuhe, and established the Tang Dynasty Immortal Dynasty. Regardless of the economy, people's livelihood, military strength, culture, and financial resources, they have reached the peak of eternity.
This was followed by the increasing prestige of his own and the increasing number of soldiers and horses who were effectively loyal to him, posing a great threat to the imperial court, and he himself had the ambition to usurp the throne.
Fortunately, the Holy Monarch Yang Guangqi took precautions and had already taken precautions against this day. Before the Mandate of Heaven was fully full-fledged, he took the lead in making a move, and snatched a hundred years of national luck from the hands of the Mandate of Heaven, making the Tang Dynasty continue to this day.
Back then, if the Mandate of Heaven had been allowed to strike first, no one dared to guarantee what the outcome would be, because the Mandate of Heaven at that time was too powerful. There must be soldiers, there must be generals, money and money, and prestige and prestige.
But the Mandate of Heaven in this life, that is, Yang Ping'an, although he also showed some prominence in the war, was too far behind in comparison.
If nothing else, just that he does not have the Tiance Mansion in the hands of the previous generation of Heavenly Mandate Masters, only the shameless trio, etc., it determines that he will not be able to rebel in the short term.
Of course, this is not the reason why Xiao Taishi organized Yang Rui to kill Yang Ping'an, the main reason is that Southern Zhou is too strong. The Northern Tang Dynasty was not afraid of the Southern Zhou, but it was also unwilling to fight to the death with the Southern Zhou Dynasty and consume the national strength in vain.
The territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, and the territory exceeds that of any previous dynasty, but the problem of too large a territory has also arisen. Due to the Mandate of Heaven a hundred years ago, the Mandate of Heaven fought in the east and the west, and the southern and northern expeditions, opening up territory for the Tang Dynasty, the territory was almost doubled, but it also bought a lot of hidden dangers.
If the central government is strong, remote places will not dare to cause chaos, and hidden dangers will disappear, but the central government will be weak......
Taishi Xiao and Yang Rui both firmly believe that the Southern Zhou will die, but the Northern Tang will also pay a great price. When the time comes, in remote places, the descendants of the royal family who were destroyed back then will definitely take advantage of the situation to cut off the alleged king, and the Tang Dynasty will fall into an even more chaotic situation.
Therefore, Xiao Taishi proposed not to touch Yang Ping'an for the time being, but to continue to squeeze Yang Ping'an's surplus value - to use the means of the Mandate of Heaven to pacify the Southern Zhou Dynasty and reduce the price to be paid by the Northern Tang Dynasty as much as possible.
Of course, the rumors that Yang Ping'an is the Mandate of Heaven cannot be ignored. In addition to intensifying efforts to prevent the people from discussing this matter, another point is to make a show and make a show to the people of the world to prove that Yang Ping'an is not the Mandate of Heaven.
The best way is to let Yang Ping'an get married, become a Tang Dynasty concubine, and block the mouths of Youyou.
Yang Rui was a little hesitant about this. The Mandate of Heaven back then was also a concubine, and it was Yang Guang who married two princesses, which can be described as a glory of being above 10,000 people under one person.
But the result?
Taishi Xiao was able to become the first powerful minister of the Northern Tang Dynasty, not only by virtue of his status as the national ruler, but also with real talent and learning. He made this suggestion for the sake of Yang Rui.
First of all, since Yang Ping'an came into their sight and was determined to be the Mandate of Heaven, Yang Rui ordered someone to conduct a detailed understanding and analysis of him, excavate his own weaknesses, and succeeded.
He has three big and one small four hostages in his hands, and being able to force Yang Ping'an to go south to Jiangnan to assassinate Yang Shuo's father and son is the best proof. As long as he can continue to control these four hostages, if Yang Ping'an wants to rebel, he will be constrained.
This was also determined by Taishi Xiao to be the biggest reason why Yang Ping'an was not as good as the previous generation of Heavenly Mandates.
The second is the scruple about Yang Ping'an. No matter how weak Yang Ping'an is, it is also the Mandate of Heaven, who knows if he has any other means? He didn't want the previous generation of Destiny to be sharp, but it also made it impossible for people to see his hidden strength, and this had to be tried.
You need to know that when Yang Rui decided to eradicate him, the hostages in his hands were useless. Once Yang Ping'an still has the strength to hide, don't kill too many people, as long as the palace is bloodied, then the world will really fall into the hands of Southern Zhou.
first block the mouths of Youyou, then appease Yang Ping'an and force him to attack Southern Zhou, and then probe Yang Ping'an's hidden strength in case of emergency.
Do all this well, that is, wait. Either wait for Yang Ping'an to pacify Nanzhou before killing, or as soon as he finds out that he has actually rebelled, then immediately kill him.
Listening to his analysis, Yang Rui was very pleased. After thinking about it, he finally agreed to Taishi Xiao's proposal.
Gao Lishi was very unimpressed by this, not because he thought that Xiao Taishi's proposal was problematic, but because Yang Rui did not ask his opinion.
In the past, even if it was Taishi Xiao's proposal, Yang Rui would ask him for his opinion in private, but this time he didn't. For Gao Lishi, it is one thing to adopt his own opinion Yang Rui or not, and it is another thing to ask or not, the latter represents an attitude, an attitude of trust by the emperor.
He is in charge of the Dragon Guard, and Xiao Taishi is in charge of the Shadow Guard, although the two have deep grievances, they are Yang Rui's right-hand man. Now seeing his opponent stepping on his head, how can Colliers be happy?
However, the matter of the Mandate of Heaven is very important, and even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, he does not dare to show it, so he can only unwillingly transfer manpower to cooperate with Taishi Xiao.
Yang Cao didn't know about these things, in order to make the rumor look like it, the manpower that Tiance Wei had placed in the palace was almost lost, and he didn't dare to make any more moves.
However, after all, Wu Cong took Wu Zetian as his life goal, and through his understanding of the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Tang Dynasty, he worked out most of it. In particular, she also wanted to know how much of Yang Ping'an's ability as a Destiny had not been revealed, so she was not in a hurry to send people to infiltrate Luoyang.
In the face of Dong'er and Xie Aman's bitter pleading, and even Xie Aman's kneel and pray, she could only say that she didn't want to save Yang Ping'an, but that Yang Ping'an didn't want to go back to Nanzhou at all now, "just because of those damn women"!
She asked Xie Aman to stay in the palace to accompany her daughter first, and after waiting for a while, she mobilized the elite of Weizhong to sneak into Luoyang under her leadership, and when necessary, she helped Yang Ping'an.
Yang Rui and Wu Cong's arrangement, Yang Ping'an didn't know anything, he was thinking about his own method, and he already had a general idea, a framework.
In later life, he experienced too many things that the plan could not keep up with the changes, and cultivated the habit that the plan is just a framework and follows the changes at any time. Now is the time to demonstrate the remarkable value of this habit. It's too risky, but it's the most effective way to do it.
Silently returned to the Horse Mansion, watching the guards guarding the door respectfully welcome him into the mansion, Yang Ping'an smiled: Anyway, I am also the Destiny of Heaven, God always takes care of me, right?
He didn't have much of an impression of what it was like in the Horse Mansion. He didn't live in the Horse Mansion for too long, but he could see that before he came back, someone in the mansion had been cleaned very carefully, but it was not very popular, and he didn't see a few people along the way.
Led by a little maid, he came to his bedroom door. He inquired about Zhenniang's whereabouts, but the little maid said that she had just been sent yesterday and did not know where Zhenniang was.
Thinking about it, Zhen Niang is also holding her own weight, how can Yang Rui let herself see it easily?
All the way, after returning to the mansion, he first had to bathe and change clothes, and after a night's rest, he would enter the palace tomorrow to meet Yang Rui.
The maid quickly brought the bath bucket, poured hot water, sprinkled flowers, prepared clean clothes, and then waited for him to bathe.
After all, he is a colt, and naturally someone must serve him when he bathes, and he must be a woman, a young woman, a beautiful woman.
However, Yang Ping'an didn't like this, and drove out the eight maids who were waiting for him to bathe, and he still had to think about his plan.
Only the framework, the plan that is ready for change, is very demanding for the person, he must consider as many possible variables as possible, and be prepared in advance, so that he will not have time to react when the change occurs.
Soaking in the hot water, he closed his eyes and pondered, completely unaware of the silent opening of the door, and a pair of bright red embroidery shows walked in. Tiptoe behind him little by little, and slowly stretched out his hurried jade hand......
