Chapter 114: Yang Tinghe's arrangement

Beijing, in the leopard room.

Zhengde hasn't been out of the leopard room for a month.

In the past month, there have been many big prisons in the entire Beizhili, although this time it was Jinyiwei who did it. But it was Yang Tinghe who really pushed it.

Zhengde looked at Yang Tinghe in front of him and couldn't help sighing, and said, "Mr. Yang, do you really want this?" ”

Previously, Zhengde called Mr. Yang Tinghe without a name, because of the habit of Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi called the cabinet scholars in this way. But at this moment, Zhengde is a little sincere.

During this period of time, Yang Tinghe has experienced more than Zhu Houhuang, from the Shilin leaders, who have been promoted, to the traitors who flattered the emperor, from the Shoufu Lord who was revered by everyone, to the rebellious ministers and thieves. Yang Tinghe only had half a year.

In the past six months, Yang Tinghe tried his best to promote the clearing of acres of land and liquidate people. From the time he put forward this suggestion, resistance from all sides was overwhelming, from the center to the locality, from the court to the countryside, and even Yang Tinghe's old father wrote from home to persuade Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe wanted to give up countless times, but when he thought of the grace of the first emperor, and although Zhengde was stubborn, he also trusted himself very much. Yang Tinghe insisted on biting the pressure, he had nothing else to ask for, and he didn't want to do anything big, he just wanted to be able to leave a clear Ming to future generations when he was in the phase and when he was resigned. Don't think about the rest.

During this period of time, Yang Tinghe's originally gray hair had all turned black, and there was not a single white one. Before he implemented it, although he also thought that there was a lot of resistance, otherwise didn't the successive generations of Shoufu think about this matter? Why didn't they do it, but he never expected the resistance to be so great.

Zhengde asked nothing else, but a large number of officials and gentry who were grabbed by Yang Ting and his pigtails. At this moment, they are all pressed in the Jinyiwei prison, although Zhengde is messing around, but he still understands which is more important, so many people, all of them ask for the guilt, Zhengde is a little hesitant.

Yang Tinghe said: "If this is not the case, Qingzhang Tianmu, please count the people, and it will not be implemented." ”

Zhengde said: "I'm not afraid of anything, anyway, I've got enough infamy, one more is not more, and one less is not less, but what about Mr. The rumors outside--- "Zhengde sighed and didn't say anything anymore. Yes, Yang Tinghe has long been said to be unaware of what it looks like, if it weren't for Yang Tinghe still being in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, there are a large number of disciples below to support him, and there is Zhengde support above, these public opinions would not hurt Yang Tinghe for a while. But it's not that there is no harm to Yang Tinghe, on the contrary, it's not that there is no harm, but that the damage is very great.

Yang Tinghe can become the first assistant of the cabinet, although it is a promotion of Zhengde, he is an old minister of Zhengde, so he naturally has to be promoted. But there is another reason that Yang Tinghe has a good reputation among Shilin, and the support of Shilin is also a necessary condition for Yang Tinghe to ascend to the position of chief assistant of the cabinet.

Zhengde has long heard that he doesn't know how many officials are preparing for Yang Tinghe's crime and impeaching Yang Tinghe. Once the charges are confirmed, even if Zhengde supports Yang Tinghe, I am afraid that Yang Tinghe will have to go to the same place. Even the emperor is not happy.

"Your Majesty." Yang Tinghe said: "The minister received the kindness of the first emperor and His Majesty's father and son, and he should be broken to repay him. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about the ministers, but there is one thing, and I ask Your Majesty for your permission. ”

"Mr. Yang, please speak." Zhengde said.

Yang Tinghe said: "His Royal Highness King Yongwang wrote to ask His Royal Highness to send King Yong's long history, and the minister wants to make the dog the long history of King Yong. ”

Zhengde was taken aback one by one and said, "Why is Mr. Yang here? ”

The palace officials have always been looked down upon, and Zhu Houhuang may be better here. But what kind of person is Yang Shen, he is the champion. Although the champion may not be able to enter the cabinet and become a university scholar. But as long as you don't know the world very well, it's not too difficult to get to the name of a scholar, not to mention that Yang Tinghe has also been the first assistant of the cabinet, everyone doesn't think that after Yang Tinghe retires, Yang Shen can be added to the cabinet. But there is Yang Tinghe's aftermath. Yang Shen is far more likely to become a Cabinet Scholar than the other champions.

With such a bright future, how can you look at the position of a small feudal country. In the eyes of Zhengde, this small feudal state is just a reckless Zhizhou, a little worse than the average Zhizhou, because there is also a Taishang Emperor on it.

Yang Tinghe lowered his head slightly, not letting Zhengde see his somewhat tired eyes, and said: "The minister is a little selfish, let the dog avoid the limelight outside, and also watch King Yong, so that King Yong does not have any bad intentions." ”

Zhengde thought of the turmoil outside, and he also had a terrible headache, and said: "Since Aiqing thinks so, I will agree to you." ”

Zhengde and Yang Tinghe discussed other matters. After an hour or two, Yang Tinghe returned home.

As soon as Yang Tinghe returned home, he called Yang Shen over and said, "I asked for an errand for you, King Yong's long history." ”

This is not the first time that Yang Shen has been the long history of Yongwang, but the current long history of Yongwang is completely different from the previous long history of Yongwang. The original long history of King Yong was just a false title. And although the current Yongwang Changshi is still a chicken rib compared to the official position in the capital, on the whole, he has become a powerful magistrate.

However, Yang Shen usually didn't look at this official position, but at this moment he nodded silently and said, "The child knows." ”

Yang Tinghe asked, "Don't you ask me why I did this?" ”

Yang Shen said: "My father doesn't want to learn from Yao. I don't want to repeat the tragedy of Han Jiaxing and Yao's annihilation. ”

Yang Tinghe couldn't help but smile, not only happy that he had such a smart son who didn't need to mention anything, but also felt sad that he had cut off his son's future with his own hands, and said, "My son? You can resent your father. ”

"No complaints, father." Yang Shen said: "Are children greedy for wealth and fame? Far from resenting his father, the child is happy for his father, and even though what his father is doing today is ridiculed by the world, the people of later generations will surely call him the prime minister of the salvation time. ”

"It's just for the things before and after, what to do after death. I don't think about the name behind me, I just want to have a clear conscience in this life. However, if you can start and finish well as a father, with the friendship between the old man and His Majesty, you will naturally be able to fall back from Yongguo, and if something unbearable happens, your relationship with King Yong is enough to protect the family. ”

Yang Shen's nose was sour, and he said, "The child understands." ”

Yang Tinghe's father's letter is to say something, Yang Tinghe presided over the matter, it can be said that he has a grudge against the people of the world, once the emperor no longer protects Yang Tinghe, even if Yang Tinghe does not die and has no place to be buried, he will be exiled far away. There may not be a day of return in this life. The political career is completely over, and by the way, it is not only Yang Tinghe's political career that ends, but also the political career of the Yang family.

"But there are a few things I want to warn you about. Shen'er, you have been smart since you were a child, you don't need me to mention it, you know everything. But smart people think too much, no matter what happens in the future, you are a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and you must not instigate King Yong to do things that are not subordinate. You know? Yang Tinghe said. The words are full of eloquence.

Yang Shen knew what Yang Tinghe meant, even if Yang Tinghe opened a knife in the future, he should not rebel against the court because of this matter.

Yang Shen said: "The child knows. It's just that the child here is not in Beijing, and he asks his father to take care of his body, don't force anything to do, don't do anything, and retreat bravely from the rapids. ”

Yang Tinghe sighed and said, "Do you want you to teach me to do things for my father?" Yang Tinghe sneered and said: "The last thing to teach is one thing, as long as you start, don't look back." No matter how hard it is, you have to go on, because there is no turning back in the world. Okay, you go and clean up, King Yong is in a hurry, and there is a military general on the road to meet you, called Qi Jingtong. I've read the information, and I can be regarded as a general, I don't know where King Yong got the news. ”

Yang Shen said: "In this case, the child will retire. ”
