Chapter 353: Father and Son Suspicion

(Thanks to 18991899 for your support, thank you.) )

Zhao Wang Yang Lin was canonized as the grandson by the Son of Heaven, and the prince and grandson stood side by side, which can be said to have shocked the attention of the officials and people of Beijing. The peddlers and pawns of the Jingshi were in groups of three or five in the alleys and alleys beside the streets, their eyebrows dancing and discussing this matter happily, boasting to each other about the secrets. The civil and military officials and nobles in Beijing were even more surprised that after King Zhao was canonized as the grandson and opened the mansion to be placed under the official subordination, the Son of Heaven did not remove the Taisun from the posts of the general manager of Youzhou and the marshal of the Eastern Road of the Northern Expedition. Except for being canonized as the grandson, Yang Lin's other official positions remain completely unchanged.

This made the officials in Beijing more and more confused, what does the Son of Heaven mean? It was like child's play, and he directly canonized King Zhao as the grandson, selected six Fu for the grandson, built the Taisun Mansion, and set up two squares, three temples, and eight generals, but he did not remove the grandson from his previous positions, and did not let the grandson stay in Beijing, and still had to go out of Beijing to guard the place. This everywhere reveals a sense of irrationality, since ancient times, how can there be a prince who has left Beijing to sit in a local official? If the grandson is allowed to continue to serve as the marshal of the Eastern Route of the Northern Expedition, it will be said in the past, but why does the position of the governor of Youzhou remain unchanged?

For this unexpected result, Yi Feng was very pleasantly surprised.

Becoming the grandson of the prince was what he wanted, but he was even more unwilling to be left in the capital from now on. In that case, the gains outweigh the losses. Today's court meeting can be said to be full of surprises, and the emperor almost thundered quickly, and gave the matter of canonizing the grandson. Immediately afterwards, he did not play according to the routine at all, and still let him continue to serve as the general manager of Youzhou and the marshal of the East Road.

At the end of the court meeting, the emperor left the left and right servants of Shangshu Province, as well as Nayan Suwei of Menxia Province, and Yang Zhao, the history of Neishi Province, and the crown prince Yang Yong was also left. The rest, such as King Yang Guang of Jin, King Yang Liang of Han, King Yang Liang of Zhao, and Yang Lin were not left behind. Yang Lin has not yet undergone a formal canonization ceremony. Therefore, he is not a grandson at the moment. Of the five people left by the emperor, four were the chief officials of the three provinces. is the prime minister of the day, and the other is the prince. It can be said that these five people are the five people with the highest official positions below the nominal emperor level in the imperial court.

At this time, the emperor left these five people, but did not leave the king of Jin and the king of Han and others, it is obvious that this is the emperor's arrangement to discuss with them to canonize the grandson. Although Gao Gong has been kicked out of the decision-making level before, after all, he still has the title of prime minister on his head, and in such an important ceremony as the canonization of the grandson, he must lead the hundred officials according to the etiquette system. What satisfied Yang Jian was that Gao Gong was very cooperative with the canonization of the grandson. From beginning to end, there was no objection, and there was nothing uncooperative about the emperor who had just kicked him out of the court, and now asked him to lead the ceremony of canonizing the grandson.

As for Yi Feng, since he wanted to keep the prime ministers to discuss the ceremony of appointing him as the grandson, the emperor did not let him stay.

However, many civil and military people who stepped out of the Daxing Hall had different interpretations in their hearts. In the eyes of many people, the emperor made the eldest son of the crown prince the grandson as the grandson at this time, and the prince and grandson stood side by side. It is to use this ceremony to declare to the world that Yang Yong's position as the crown prince is still stable, and to dispel many rumors about the instability of the crown prince's throne. Some people who think more deeply think that the emperor's hand today. In fact, he went to King Jin. In the Wang Shiji case just now, the prince's party was hit strictly, and the three Shangzhu countries were defeated at once. There is also a prime minister who also withdrew from the court because of this, which is obviously an attack launched by the Jin Wang Party. The power of the Jin King is getting stronger and stronger. Especially now that he is also the marshal of the Northern Expedition, commanding more than 100 commanders of the 500,000 army of the Great Sui. The prince became weaker and weaker. Even some important ministers think further, the king of Jin now commands almost more than half of the elite soldiers of the Great Sui, if he succeeds in the northern expedition, his prestige at that time will reach a higher peak, at that time, I am afraid that not only the prince will not be able to confront the king of Jin at that time, I am afraid that even the son of heaven will be afraid of the king of Jin.

The emperor is fifty-nine years old this year, and among the emperors of all dynasties, this age is not young, and even very old, after all, the life span of emperors and emperors of previous dynasties is much shorter than that of ordinary people. But the more this is the case, the more the emperor is afraid that he will not be able to let go of the power in his hands. When you are an emperor, who doesn't want to live with Tianqi, immortal blessings forever, and live long live. Therefore, they became more and more concerned about their rights, and even began to be suspicious of the minister, and even their sons and brothers. Gao Gong's withdrawal from the center, the death of Yu Qingze, Wang Shiji and others, isn't it because the emperor's suspicion is stronger? It is recognized that the crown prince is mediocre today, so the prince is not a threat to the emperor. And the emperor's brothers, who died in the early years, died in battle, and the rest were killed by the emperor, there are only a few cousins left, these clans are not much of a threat to the emperor, but even they are mostly guarded against, and they have no real power. It has long been rumored that the Son of Heaven and his wife are dissatisfied with the mediocrity of the crown prince Yang Yong, and have plans to abolish the reserve and replace the prince. Judging from the current Chaozhong shape shì, anyone with a discerning eye can see that once the crown prince Yang Yong is really deposed, the most likely successor to the throne of the prince is Yang Guang, the king of Jin.

During this time, there was suddenly no remarks about the emperor's dissatisfaction with the crown prince, and everyone could guess that the emperor was going to fight the war in the north wholeheartedly. But then there were the three major cases of Yan Rong, Concubine Cui and Wang Shiji, of which Yan Rong's case was directed at King Jin, and Wang Shiji's case was directed at the prince. After these rounds of dazzling cases, Asakagata shì began to become even more confusing.

And now the emperor suddenly set up King Zhao as the grandson, and now, many sharp-minded people immediately have a feeling of sudden enlightenment. It's too obvious, the emperor set up his grandson, and he was obviously going to King Jin. Although it is not that the emperor has the intention of doing anything to the King of Jin now, it is to undoubtedly reveal the emperor's defense against the King of Jin. The emperor still trusts the King of Jin at the moment, and will still let him continue to lead the Northern Expedition, but when the emperor completely crippled the prince's party after Wang Shiji's case, he set up a grandson, which is for the future arrangement after the victory of the King of Jin's Northern Expedition.

The purpose of one qiē is to continue to effectively control the king of Jin in the future, and prevent the king of Jin from threatening the emperor's power by virtue of his achievements in the Northern Expedition.

Lao Tzu guards against his son, this is a very realistic thing. Especially in the royal family, anything is possible for the sake of the throne. Not to mention that the prince rebelled against his father, even the rebellion of the prince is not unprecedented. The crown prince of Liu Che, the famous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history, also rebelled, and the biggest reason for Prince Liu Che's rebellion was because of Liu Che's suspicion of his son. In the end, in order to save his life, he had to rebel.

Now Yang Jian began to become suspicious, getting older. The stronger the suspicion. For his son who has no ability, he is naturally not suspicious. But for the capable and prestigious son, he no longer fully believes in it. Yang Jian hopes that his heir is a capable one, but he is worried that the capable prince will not be able to wait for the succession, which is a bit contradictory for Yang Jian.

The crown prince Yang Yong entered the palace and asked King Zhao to be appointed as the grandson, which gave Yang Jian an inspiration.

You can't let King Jin be the crown prince so early, otherwise you will threaten your throne. But the crown prince Yang Yong is too mediocre and incompetent, and he can't fight against King Jin at all. Even with his help, it wouldn't work. It is better to canonize King Zhao, who now has a good reputation in the court and the opposition, as the emperor's grandson, in order to temporarily suppress King Jin. When the time comes, the king of Jin will praise the hundred officials, and all the people will support it. threaten yourself.

However, from the bottom of his heart, Yang Jian actually still felt that King Jin was the most suitable heir, but he felt that he could live for a long time, and he still wanted to continue to reign over the world. Because of this, Yang Jian didn't care much about the opinions of the ministers at the court meeting, and walked directly out of the motions, and announced Yang Lin as the grandson of the Sacred Heart alone. But after the establishment of the grandson, although Yang Jian set up a subordinate official for Yang Lin to set up the Taisun Mansion, he did not let Yang Lin stay in Beijing at all. Still sitting in the clouds. This actually revealed Yang Jian's true intentions at this time, the establishment of the Taisun was just to prevent the balance of the King of Jin, not to really establish him as the prince.

Yang Jian usurped the throne from his nephew back then, so he didn't fully believe in even his own son in his heart.

Walk out of the Daxing Palace. Yang Guang's steps were very heavy, and he didn't know if others could see the emperor's original intention of establishing the emperor's grandson. But he himself has seen it. He never thought that the emperor had not yet changed the prince. But they have already begun to guard against him. He's the emperor's son-in-law, it's not fair.

Yi Feng and Yang Guang were close to each other in the hall. When I came out, I walked one after the other.

"Pretty unexpected, wasn't it?" Yang Guang smiled a little ugly.

"But that doesn't change anything."

Yi Feng knew that Yang Guang's attitude towards him had changed drastically at the moment, but he knew that he and Yang Guang still had to maintain a relationship for now, at least Yang Yong would not die, and his grandson would not have much practical meaning. At present, the strongest strength in the DPRK and China is still Yang Guang. He wanted to see Yang Guang's reaction and see if Yang Guang could still believe him. But Yang Guang's mentality quickly adjusted, and his expression and words did not reveal any valuable information at all.

The emperor appointed Yi Feng as the grandson at the request of the crown prince, which had a great impact on the trust between Yi Feng and Yang Guang. But neither of them showed it right away, they were waiting, the cooperation between the two would be of great help to each other, and neither wanted to break this relationship rashly, unless the other party did the actual sabotage. Yi Feng was made the grandson, and although everyone was suspicious of each other, it had not yet reached the level of immediate rupture.

Yi Feng walked on the corridor with a calm face, and gave Yang Guang a dose of reassuring pills, "The prince killed my biological mother, and King Jin is my biological father, I won't be unclear about who my heart is towards." ”

"If I become emperor one day, I will make you the crown prince." Yang Guang didn't want to split with Yi Feng, and when he saw that Yi Feng showed his loyalty to him, he immediately made his biggest promise unequivocally, and one day he became the emperor, and he would make Yi Feng the crown prince.

"With my background, even if King Jin has this intention, I will never accept it. If in the future, when the Nine Kings of Jin are supreme, they can give me a piece of land outside the frontier, and they will be satisfied, and they will not dare to have other extravagant dreams. ”

Yi Feng did not accept Yang Guang's promise, because he knew in his heart that what Yang Guang was saying now was not sincere at all. Whether Yang Yong will become the emperor in the future, or Yang Guang will become the emperor in the future, with his complicated life experience, it will never be the time when they will be made the crown prince. Now that we have this understanding, it is better to simply express it so that they can feel at ease.

Yang Guang smiled, this was the first time he had laughed since he left the hall.

Although Yi Feng can't really make him fully believe it now, it makes him feel a lot better after all.

At that moment, he smiled and said: "When I was in the palace just now, I was still thinking that you are the grandson, but I am afraid that if you have to stay in Beijing from now on, the marshal of the East Road will have to be replaced." In this way, I don't know who to hand over this east road to, but now that Your Majesty has let you continue to go out of the town of Youzhou, it has reduced my big trouble. I'm quite relieved to have you on the east road. ”

Youzhou Governor's Mansion 32 states under the jurisdiction of 10 generals, after the Yanrong case of purge, now the new governor here is the emperor for Yi Feng's new team, if Yi Feng stays in Beijing, then the candidate for this governor will inevitably have a fierce battle. The case of Yan Rong is actually a comprehensive elimination of Yang Guang's forces in Youyan, if Yi Feng really stays in Beijing, then the new chief manager will never be a member of the Jin Dynasty, and it is very likely that someone from the princeling will be in charge. For Yang Guang, it is better to let Yi Feng be the general manager, it is like directly becoming an opponent to control the zhì region.

Perhaps out of compensation for Yang Guang, on the afternoon of the day when Yi Feng was announced as the grandson, an edict from the emperor came out of the palace, announcing that Yang Zhao, the king of Henan, would be the king of Han, and he would be reappointed as the chief governor of Qinzhou and the Zhu State by the internal history order. After Yang Zhao left Qinzhou, the position of prime minister of his internal Shi Ling, as Yi Feng had heard before, was taken over by the emperor's son-in-law, the husband of Princess Lanling, Shangshu of the Ministry of War. However, the important post of the secretary of the Ministry of War was given to Su Xiaoci, who had served as the prince's left guard, and was now the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the young master of the Taisun, and the vacant post of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry was taken over by Yu Wenkai, the chief eunuch of the craftsman.

As a result, the Great Sui now has six governors, Yangjing, Yiqin, and Youyou, the six governors are all headed by the prince, the four princes and two emperors, and they command all the thirty-six governorships of the Great Sui, as well as more than 100 states and counties, and hundreds of thousands of horses. The territory under the jurisdiction of the six governors occupies more than one-third of the Great Sui, and is located on six sides, and the imperial court of the Ping Domain. Although the Grand Governor's Mansion where the six princes sit is not a fiefdom, they are like princes on the horse, in charge of the army, in charge of the people, and in charge of the military and civil affairs.

With these six clan princes sitting in all directions, Yang Jian felt that he could sit back and relax, and the Great Sui would inevitably be able to consolidate the country forever and inherit it for eternity.
