Chapter 621: Great Generals
Yang Ze really had the idea of taking the generals in one pot, but he thought about it and felt that the risk was too great, even if he clicked all the generals, but among the eight Praetorian Guards, he could only master one, and if the remaining seven were to fight with him, it was estimated that only one of the Right Shenwu Army would not be able to resist it no matter what, not to mention that even if it was the Right Shenwu Army, he might not be willing to listen to him completely.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yang Ze planned to slowly figure it out, anyway, he has the official position of a lieutenant, Li Yan may not dare to attack him immediately after he first ascended the dragon throne, he definitely has time to settle the generals, he can't end it in one pot, then break it one by one, anyway, he must grasp the military power.
But now that he heard that only one of the generals came, he thought about it a little and understood that this was because the generals were afraid of him, so he wanted to come to see him in batches.
However, this also proves one point, that is, the generals have lost confidence in Li Yan, are convinced that the emperor can no longer protect them, and are even more worried that if they die, no one will avenge them, otherwise, these generals will not do this!
Yang Ze said loudly: "This king personally went out to greet him, please wait a while, and wait for this king to be fully dressed." He spoke loudly, in order to let the general of the Right Yulin Army outside hear.
Sure enough, the general of the Right Yulin Army outside heard Yang Ze's words and thought: "Fortunately, this Captain Yang is still full of respect for me, it seems that he doesn't want to serve us in a pot, but wants to win us over, then I will rest assured, and wait to see how Yang Ze wants to win us over and what benefits he promises to us, if the benefits are more, then call him a captain, what's the matter." ”
People, once they have the idea of compromise, their sharpness will wear off, and they will no longer be aggressive, and the general of the Right Yulin Army is honestly waiting outside, waiting for Yang Ze to come out to see him.
Yang Ze tidied up his clothes well, and tried to make a look like he wanted to see a guest, and then walked out of the guard room quickly, he saw the general of the right Yulin Army, and immediately sped up his pace, and arched his hand: "Yang Ze has seen the general, we rarely met before, but Yang still remembers the demeanor of the general, and when I saw it today, it is still the same style!" ”
His words were too colloquial, and he lost the subtlety of the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and it sounded like an out-and-out flattery, he was a lieutenant, the top boss of the general of the Right Yulin Army, and he couldn't flatter a subordinate, but these straightforward words made the general of the Right Yulin Army surprised and delighted, and the heart that was still hanging was put down in an instant.
The generals are all from martial arts, even if they can read and write, but they can be with the big head soldiers all day long, even if they want to Sven, it is impossible for Sven to go anywhere, if Yang Zewen comes to a set of greeting gifts, he may not be able to listen to it, but Yang Ze came so bluntly, he was surprised and delighted.
The general of the right Yulin Army hesitated slightly, and decided to salute as a subordinate, no matter what, since Yang Ze did not turn his face, then he could not be rude, according to the court's etiquette, he must kneel down to Yang Ze to salute, even if he is familiar in the future, there is no need to kneel, but this time to meet, it is necessary to kneel, and it is not ashamed for subordinates to kneel when they see Shangguan.
On one knee, the general of the right Yulin Army knelt down for Yang Ze and said, "The last general has seen Captain Yang......"
Before he could kneel down and be honest, Yang Ze helped him up and said, "The general can't be like this, we can't do this between us, you are older than Yang, and you are Yang's respected elder, let alone so, Yang can't stand the general's gift." ”
The general of the Right Yulin Army also got up, thinking: "It seems that he really wants to win us over, if I knew this, I wouldn't come alone, wouldn't it be better for everyone to come together to see Yang Ze." ”
But he thought about it again, since it is a co-optation, not a suppression, then it is not very beneficial for him to come to see him together, how good is this, he comes to see him alone, Yang Ze wants to win him over, and he also needs to be co-opted, and have a good relationship with Mrs. Yang, so that he can keep his family safe for decades in the future, this Mrs. Yang should be in power for decades, so young.
Yang Ze took the hand of the general of the right Yulin Army and entered the guard room together, he said: "The palace is now guarding the spirit of the former emperor, and the original princess Chengqian ascended the throne as the new empress, but she wants to give the Zen throne to the king of Zhenxi, but now the Zen throne ceremony is too late to be held, and the palace is relatively busy, so Yang is waiting here to meet with the generals." ”
The general of the right Yulin Army nodded slightly, he knew all this news, and now that Yang Ze said it, it was just a proof.
"By the way, why is there only one general, and the other generals?" After Yang Ze finished asking this, without waiting for the general of the Right Yulin Army to make up a reason, he said again: "Well, I think it's still arranging things in their respective camps, so it's too late to come!" ”
The general of the right Yulin army was a little embarrassed, but since Yang Ze had found a good reason for the other generals, he didn't have much to explain.
Yang Ze said again: "Yesterday, the new empress ascended the throne, the great feudal ministers, the general, your family members have also been entitled, the official edict has not yet been made, today it is estimated that it is almost the same, does the general know about this?" ”
The general of the right Yulin Army was born in a wealthy family, and he has the title of the duke of the country, and he is one of the top nobles of the Dafang Empire, and the other generals are almost the same, it is almost impossible to promote them to the title, and they can't be like Yang Ze, and they can't just make a prince out, even if they are the county kings.
Therefore, they can only give their second son a knighthood, the second son of the general of the right Yulin Army, was given a baron, although it is the lowest title, but it is also a title, and the second son cannot have any title.
The general of the right Yulin army said: "I have heard of this, but the last general does not believe that this is true, the dog has no merit to the country, and he is knighted in vain, which really makes the last general feel uneasy." ”
"What's unsettling about this, Yang has also been crowned king!" Yang Ze said with a smile, he and the general of the Right Yulin Army sat down separately, and said: "Grace comes out from above, the reward of the imperial court has its own emperor's decision, and we as courtiers only need to accept it." ”
The general of the right Yulin Army nodded and said, "The thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and the Tai Lieutenant is very right." "In his heart, he wants to knight his second son, this is rain and dew, not thunder, wait a while to see the empress, but I have to thank you, but I don't know if the empress will admit this account after the empress ascends the throne, whether he will admit this account, and it is still between the two words!
The two were silent for a moment, Yang Ze seemed to be thinking about things, and the general of the right Yulin Army is Captain Yang If you don't squeak, then I won't squeak either, just don't squeak together.
Yang Ze frowned, as if he was very embarrassed, and said: "Yang has found a thing, I don't know whether to say it or not, this matter involves the prince, the privacy of the royal family, we are not good to discuss as courtiers, but it is related to the national system, so ...... Alas, what a dilemma for me! ”
The general of the Right Yulin Army thought to himself: "Since it is related to the privacy of the royal family, then you better not say it." But since you've opened your mouth like this, if I shut you up, I guess you won't be able to really shut up, so you still have to speak, and I still have to listen! ”
"I don't know what is related to the national body, and I hope that the Taiwei will make it clear, and we will all find a way to solve the matter together!" The general of the right Yulin Army said.
Yang Ze said: "Last night, Yang was ordered by the emperor to go outside the city to pick up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the palace, but His Royal Highness the Prince burned down the manor and wanted to escape from the tunnel. ”
The general of the Right Yulin Army thought to himself: "His Royal Highness the Prince? Ah, it's that Li Chongjiu, that waste thing, he can even be a prince. Well, the emperor only has such a son as him, if he is not the prince, there is really no one to be the prince, but it's a pity that the country, with such a product to be the prince, and to be the new emperor in the future, maybe Yang Ze can really be a powerful minister for decades in the future! ”
Yang Ze said again: "This may be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince misunderstood, thinking that I was here to kill him, but I am a loyal minister of the emperor, since I am going to pick him up, why should he be afraid to escape, this is really incomprehensible to me!" ”
The general of the right Yulin army said: "It may be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't get the news in advance, I don't know if it was the Captain you went to pick him up." ”
"Well, there is a possibility, or he got the news of the empress's accession to the throne, thinking that the empress was going to kill his own brother, lest he would compete for the throne, and it was really rare that he didn't trust his own sister to this extent."
Yang Ze shook his head and said, with an incredible expression on his face, he was actually belittling Li Chongjiu, saying that Li Chongjiu didn't talk about family affection, since family affection was not talked about, if he became an emperor in the future, the love of monarchs and ministers would definitely not be talked about.
The general of the right Yulin army didn't dare to answer this time, so he could only pretend to look elsewhere, looking like he didn't hear what Yang Ze said.
Yang Ze said again: "And when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fled, he didn't bring his female dependents, but only took a dozen or so guards, all of whom were personal guards......"
He paused, and said in an accentuated tone: "It's a personal guard, each guard is very majestic, and he has a thick beard, and he has the appearance of a great husband!" ”
The general of the Right Yulin Army turned his head sharply and looked at Yang Ze, in fact, Yang Ze had already said it very clearly, and the hint was enough, how could he not understand the reason.
Yang Ze said again: "The crown princess should be the queen of the famous family, Yang has not had much time in Beijing, and he has never seen the princess, this time the princess was buried in the fire, Yang is powerless to rescue, this ...... I really feel ashamed, but the reason is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally set the fire, just to burn the people in Zhuangzi, so no matter how much Yang wants to save it, it is impossible to save it. ”
The general of the Right Yulin Army had a gloomy face and said, "What about those guards?" Hmph, personal guards! ”
Yang Ze said: "In order to prevent the scandal from spreading, I killed them all." Oh, there is one who didn't kill, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be crazy, and if he has to keep that guard, I have to let him go, so as not to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince angry and sick, but this kind of thing, I think I still have to make it clear to the monarchs of the court, it is about the national body, it is about the national body! ”
The general of the right Yulin army said: "The strange things in this dynasty are really one after another!" He sighed heavily, looking down on Li Chongjiu even more.
Li Chongjiu lives outside the city and never shows his water, which is related to his desire to save his life under the high pressure of the eldest princess, so he looks like a turtle with a shrunken head, which originally made the ministers of the court look down on him, and because Li Chongjiu is always sick, the ministers did not take him seriously and never cared, and the generals were even more so.
It's not a good thing to take it seriously, but now I heard that Li Chongjiu likes men's style, of course, it's not a big deal to like men's style, there are more people who don't like red makeup these days, playing with little scholars, in the eyes of scholars, it is still a thing full of elegance, in ancient emperors, many emperors and kings also like beautiful men, the way of Longyang has been since ancient times, it's not a big deal.
However, Li Chongjiu likes men, not fancy men, but bearded men, so what does this mean? Does Li Chongjiu hate to be born as a daughter? He likes to think of himself as a girl? He's old, it's definitely not okay to pretend to be a girl, that is, to pretend to be a young woman?
Of course, if you like to pretend to be a girl or a young woman, it's someone else's own business, and no one can care, but for the prince of a country, that's not good, Li Chongjiu wants to be the prince, and he will be the emperor in the future, everyone can still bear the sissy, anyway, even a woman can bear it as the emperor, and what can't the sissy bear, but the key is that Li Chongjiu plays like this, there will be no descendants, so isn't the throne of the Dafang Empire going to be extinct?
The general of the Right Yulin Army was already an anxious man, and he hurriedly said: "This, how can this make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do this?" ”
"This, he is His Royal Highness the Prince, he said that it can be so, then it can be so, and besides, it is his own business, and no one else can take care of it!" Seeing that the effect was achieved, Yang Ze pretended to have a helpless expression.
The general of the right Yulin army said: "But he is the prince, the Son of Heaven has no family affairs, and it is a matter of the country, how can he say so, that's it!" He snorted to his feet, thinking of throwing something, but there was nothing in the guardhouse that would make him fall.
At this time, someone from outside came to report that two more generals had come to ask to see them, the general of the Zuo Shenwu Army and the general of the Zuo Shenwei Army.
Yang Ze hurriedly got up and said, "This king personally came out to greet him!" ”
The general of the right Yulin army also said: "The last general also went out, and he had something to say to the two of them." ”
The two of them walked out of the guard room together, and saw two generals standing outside, the faces of these two generals were obviously anxious, but when they saw the general of the Right Yulin Army behind Yang Ze, the anxious look immediately disappeared, and at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief.
Another salute, let the two into the guard room, Yang Ze was about to say what he had just said, repeatedly, but the general of the Right Yulin Army couldn't bear it, and rushed to say it, the two generals of the Zuo Shenwu Army and the Left Shenwei Army, after listening to it, were all dumbfounded, especially the general of the Zuo Shenwu Army, his eyes were even more wide, and the anger on his face was irrepressible.
Yang Ze thought to himself: "Why is this person so angry? What does Li Chongjiu like, it doesn't seem to have much to do with everyone, is there any need to be so angry? ”
But the other two generals all looked at the general of the Zuo Shenwu Army sympathetically, it seemed that if the general of the Zuo Shenwu Army was not so angry, it would be abnormal! R1152
