Chapter 372: Turning the tables against the wind

It must be slowed down first, and the final step must be taken out by the emperor himself. If the emperor doesn't want to take this step yet, and they press hard, then they may end up with the opposite result.

With his mind set, Gao Gong finally opened his eyes, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that there are still many doubts in this case, and it is really not appropriate to draw conclusions immediately."

Yang Jian was slightly surprised when he heard this, he looked up at Gao Gong, and shouted out a title that he hadn't mentioned for several years, "What do you think the lonely public should do?" ”

Gao Gong was slightly proud in his heart, he really guessed the emperor's thoughts, and the emperor did not mean to defeat Yang Guang.

After organizing his thoughts, Gao Gong said: "The minister thinks that it is not appropriate to draw conclusions for the time being, and it is better to give more time to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai to try and investigate this case." A Yu Xiaoren only shows that the King of Jin is suspicious, and it does not mean that the King of Jin is guilty, and more evidence should be searched before conclusions can be drawn. However, out of the protection of the Jin king, the minister thought that the Jin king should avoid suspicion for now, and until there was no further investigation to prove that the Jin king had nothing to do with the assassination, the Jin king should stay in Beijing for the time being. ”

"Is that so?" Yang Jian seriously thought about this method of disposal. This can be regarded as an expedient method, giving Yang Jian some buffer time, so that he can think more carefully and not make a result in a hurry. The more Yang Jian thought about it, the more he felt that this disposal method was good, this was not the final disposal result, but just a temporary expedient measure. Regardless of the results of the investigation in the future, Yang Jian should have enough time to consider the whole situation during this time.

After Yang Su listened to Gao Gong's words, his face became very difficult to look at. At first glance, Gao Gong's plan seemed to be beneficial to Yang Guang, but it was not. On the surface. For the time being, Yang Guang will not be convicted directly, and Yang Guang is only a suspect in the assassination case for the time being. Once the investigation is clear in the future, it will naturally give him an explanation. But Yang Su knew. This is just the surface, Gao Gong is worthy of being the prime minister who has been in charge of the court for more than ten years, and as soon as he made a move, he directly put Yang Guang to death. On the surface, Yang Guang's results are good, but in fact? Now the result of the investigation by the imperial court is just that Yu Xiaoren is the real person involved in the case, although the King of Jin is very suspicious, but there is not enough evidence. And now Gao Ying's words temporarily uncertain Yang Guang's guilt are tantamount to letting Yang Guang carry this suspicion all the time. What's even worse is that. Gao Gong also took this opportunity to let Yang Guang avoid suspicion.

The so-called avoidance of suspicion sounds good, but in fact, it is equivalent to putting Yang Guang under house arrest and depriving him of the power of his real position.

In particular, there is no clear time limit for avoiding suspicion, but it is said that it will wait until it is found out that the assassination case has nothing to do with Yang Guang.

As for when the results of this case will be found, who can be sure now? Just looking at these assassins and Yu Xiaoren who have surfaced now can give everyone a headache, and this is by no means an easy case to investigate. And the case was inconclusive for a day. Then Yang Guang is suspected for a day, and he has to stay in the palace of Jingshi for a day, although he is not convicted on the surface, but this is worse than the result of the conviction. It is really determined that Yang Guang is the person behind the assassination case now. Maybe the emperor won't do that.

Ruthless and steady!

Gao Gong made a move, and it was really extraordinary, he didn't think about convicting Yang Guang immediately. But the construction he proposed made Yang Guang convicted.

A prince who is suspected of assassinating the emperor's grandson on his back. A prince who can only stay in the palace of the king of Beijing to avoid suspicion cannot return to the governor's mansion of Yangzhou Domain. During this period of avoiding suspicion, it was naturally not suitable to serve as the commander of the Northern Expedition. And Yang Guang has such a basin on his head from now on, and his prestige and prestige will inevitably be hit hard.

Yang Su sweats on the back of his clothes, this Gao Gong is really ruthless. But he still has no way to refute it, he can't say that King Jin is not guilty, red mouth and white teeth have no evidence, what's the point of saying this?

Yang Jian was a little moved, and felt that this method was good.

Yang Guang's side is temporarily cold, put it aside first, no matter whether Yang Guang is the real murderer or not, he can have time to make comprehensive considerations and arrangements. If he still wants to insist on abolishing Yong Liguang, then he needs time to clear Yang Jian of this suspicion. If he wants to sin against Yang Guang here, then he also needs time to arrange the follow-up matters in advance. Whether it is Yang Yong or Yang Guang, they are not just ordinary princes, they are representatives of important forces in the DPRK and China, and they must be prepared before they can move anyone, otherwise, it may bring great turmoil.

It is just right to let Yang Guang stay in Beijing for the time being. At this time, Yang Jian was not at ease to let Yang Guang return to Yangzhou, and he was even more worried about letting him continue to command hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Expedition at this time.

"The war in the north is about to begin, how can we change the commander at this time?" Yang Su is still making a final effort. If Gao Gong's Jianyì gets the emperor's consent, then the King of Jin will really not die this time and will shed his skin. Especially in this Northern Expedition, how much effort did the Jin Wang party take to reach the current situation, if it was vetoed by Gao Ying's words because of the immediate matter, this blow would be too great.

Gao Gong was full of indifference and disdain in the face of Yang Su's anxiety, "This is the protection of King Jin, and it is also responsible for His Majesty." Now that the King of Jin is suspected of assassinating Taisun, how can he command hundreds of thousands of Northern Expeditionary troops at this time? Under such circumstances, how could hundreds of thousands of soldiers and more than 100 generals believe in King Jin? Not to mention, the Marshal of the East Road is His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun, this battle has not yet started, and there is already such a relationship between the Generalissimo and the Marshal of the East Road, can you rest assured? This war is related to the fate of the country and the DPRK, and the whole country is praying for victory, and we dare not have any carelessness. In case there is a spread pool, Yue Gong can think about the consequences, who can bear the consequences, and who can bear such consequences? ”

Yang Su was silent.

Out of the current situation, the emperor must have a different opinion on the King of Jin, at this time, the emperor will lightly hand over the command of the entire Northern Expedition to the King of Jin? Will hundreds of thousands of horses be handed over to the Jin king's commander? If Taisun really sent someone to assassinate the king of Jin, then the emperor handed over all the soldiers of the whole country to the king of Jin, who can guarantee that the king of Jin will not make something bigger by then.

There is no need for any conclusive evidence, as long as there is a little suspicion, the emperor will never let the king of Jin lead the northern expedition at this time.

"The King of Jin has been out of town for many years, working for the country, this time let him recuperate in Beijing for a while, as for the Northern Expedition, another commander will be elected." Yang Jian thought about it for a while, but in the end, he couldn't let Yang Guang continue to lead the Northern Expedition.

Although it is a taboo for soldiers to change their commanders in battle, it is better than hundreds of thousands of horses getting out of control.

"Who can be handsome?" Yang Jian asked.

Yang Guang is actually a very suitable commander of the army, such a scale of war, according to the practice since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, must be sent to the clan to take command, and even sometimes need the emperor to lead the army in person, until the last resort, it is impossible to let the foreign ministers lead the army. Yang Jian has always been extremely strict with his subordinates, and he will never relax this principle. However, he is not very interested in the royal expedition, his strength is not in the command of the army, and it is a big war of this scale, even if it is just a name, he does not want to. First, he is not familiar with military affairs, secondly, he is also old, and secondly, as the emperor, he needs to sit in the center and control the overall situation.

"Please ask Your Majesty to drive the expedition in person, lead the three armies, and destroy the Turks in the north!" Yang Su said. It is better to let the emperor go on the expedition than to let other princes go on the expedition, especially not to let the crown prince take this opportunity to lead the northern expedition.

However, his mention was directly rejected by Yang Jian, Yang Jian is not the kind of person who is happy with great achievements.

Yang Su rushed to play again before Gao Gong spoke: "The minister thinks that the imperial grandson can be in command and command the Northern Expedition." ”

Yang Jian was a little surprised that Yang Su actually recommended Yang Lin as handsome, but after thinking about it for a while, he also felt that this was also a good mention. Yang Lin was previously appointed as the marshal of the Eastern Road, and he participated a lot in the preliminary preparations for the Northern Expedition. Moreover, Yang Lin is the emperor's grandson, and his status in the court is also extremely high, so of course there is no problem in commanding the generals. However, Yang Lin also has some shortcomings, first of all, he is too young and lacks qualifications. After all, this is a war of hundreds of thousands of people, and Yang Jian does not dare to put all his hopes on Yi Feng.

Sure enough, Liu Shu quickly got Gao Gong's signal and immediately went out to oppose it.

The reason is just as Yang Jian thought, the imperial grandson is too young and has no qualifications at all, and I am afraid that the generals will not accept it.

"When King Wei commanded the Northern Expedition, he was only the same age as the emperor's grandson now, but he achieved excellent results in the two Northern Expeditions. Besides, the emperor's grandson is the commander, and he is only in charge, and he does not need to really make decisions and commands in person. As long as the imperial grandson is named handsome, His Majesty can choose a few experienced and stable generals to tutor the grandson. Yang Su retorted. In large-scale wars, it is indeed customary for clan relatives to be in command, but this is only to avoid letting courtiers with foreign surnames be commanders, and it is also a kind of supervision of the generals who command the army. In most cases, these marshals are indeed just in charge. Just like the many major battles of the Sui Dynasty, the Battle of Pingchen, Yang Guang was in command, but in fact, the real commander of the Pingchen army was Changshi Gao Gong, among which the marching marshal Yang Jun commanded the Pingchen army all the way, but the real commander was his wife's uncle. and last year's Yang Liang Eastern Expedition, which was also commanded by Gao Gong, as well as several Northern Expeditions of Weiwang Yang Shuang, who was not a real commander. Every time these princes took command, in fact, the imperial court sent important civil servants or military generals, who served as deputy positions, and actually commanded and mobilized the army. These princes with the name of handsome are more just holding the handsome seal and issuing orders when needed. Therefore, Yang Su recommended the grandson as handsome, in fact, the qualifications are not very important, the important thing is that he is the emperor's grandson, and this is enough.

Yang Jian was a little hesitant. (To be continued......)
