Chapter 497: Emperor Collapse III

"I don't dare." Yang Tinghe goodbye.

Zhengde said: "Don't dare, is this not daring? ”

"The ministers are the livelihood of the world, they dare not be selfish, King Yong is reckless, he works hard, he likes the art of Han Shen, he is disgusted with the study of the Holy Dao, and he is discouraged by playthings. Since Yang Tinghe has made up his mind, he will not leave the slightest room for reversal. Yang Tinghe, who had maintained a relationship with Zhengde for more than ten years, had completely broken up today.

The more Zhengde listened, the more angry he felt, because he clearly felt that Yang Tinghe was talking about himself.

Zhengde was bent on pacifying Mongolia and expanding its territory. Isn't it the ruthless military force that Yang Tinghe said? Zhengde went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and the people on both sides of the canal were tired of transshipment, isn't it the heavy labor and labor that Yang Tinghe said? Xi Han Shen's technique, Han Shen's technique, is Han Feizi, Shen Bu's Legalist academics, the so-called imperial mental arts, in fact, are also scholars and a faction of learning, how can Zhengde not comprehend. Then there is the loss of playthings. It is also Zhengzhong, Zhengde, good hunting, good beauty, good alcoholism, etc., these are not the so-called playthings and losers.

Many times, Zhengde actually knows Wenchen's private evaluation of himself. But no one has ever dared to say it in front of Zhengde, and Zhengde was speechless for a while, and it took a while to say: "I just want to establish King Yong as the prince." ”

In fact, Zhengde did not immediately establish King Yong as the crown prince. After all, Zhengde felt that he could live for many years, and he was not in a hurry, and when King Yong was opening up the situation in Nanyang, King Yong probably didn't want to come back. Zhengde just wants to reach a tacit understanding with Yang Tinghe today, just in case of emergency. But Yang Tinghe's opposition made Zhengde furious, so he said such angry words.

Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty, if you want to establish King Yong as the crown prince, please first contact the ministers to thank the world." Yang Tinghe knelt straight, closed his eyes, and looked like he was waiting to die.

In Zhengde's view, it is simply hateful, this is forcing the palace.

Zhengde is definitely not a king who is stingy with killing, Zhengde also kills people with his own hands on the battlefield, if killing can solve the problem, Zhengde will let Yang Tinghe be in a different place now.

But some people can kill, some people can't, Zhengde is still very clear, at least Yang Tinghe is the one who can't be killed.

The civil official was originally opposed to him, he co-opted Yang Tinghe to deal with the civil official, he knew that Yang Tinghe and him were not completely of the same mind, but Yang Tinghe was his master after all, an old minister in the palace, willing to think about him, and committed to resolving the contradiction between him and the civil official group. Maintain the normal operation of Daming. And Zhengde is easy to kill Yang Tinghe, but where to find someone who can replace Yang Tinghe and lead the hundred officials?

At this time, Zhengde felt that Wang Qiong's illness was really not the right time.

Although Zhengde trusts Yang Tinghe, if you want to say that there is no check and balance on Yang Tinghe, even Yang Tinghe himself does not believe that Wang Qiong is close to Jinyi Weidongchang in the eyes of ordinary scholars, and is the lackey of the eunuch. But Zhengde felt that Wang Qiong was his person. Although Wang Qiong is not a cabinet scholar, he commanded the military department and gave Zhengde a lot of help in many military operations.

Since Yang Tinghe is no longer reliable, Zhengde immediately remembered that the candidate to replace Yang Tinghe was Wang Qiong.

It's a pity that Wang Qiong is sick.

"You, get out." Zhengde is helpless against Yang Tinghe, at least now there is nothing to do. He was short of energy during his illness, and he still needed Yang Tinghe to rule the world. could only shout angrily and scold Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe kowtowed, and An An retired and left.

Zhengde secretly said in his heart: "I want to change horses." ”

He will never allow a cabinet chief assistant who is not on the same page as himself, absolutely not. It's just that Zhengde also knows that he doesn't have much influence on civil officials, and he can fool the low-level officials. changed to Yang Tinghe, who came up may not be more obedient than Yang Tinghe, Yang Tinghe at least has a little incense with himself.

Officials with qualifications, prestige, ability, and the same heart as themselves, Zhengde feels that it is quite difficult to find, so if he wants to change horses, he can only think in the long run.

Since then, Zhengde has never summoned Yang Tinghe again.

Yang Tinghe also silently prepared to resign and return to his hometown.

Yang Shen sensitively felt Yang Tinghe's depression, and one day, Yang Shen asked: "Father, what can be wrong with the government recently?" ”

"Nope." Yang Tinghe said.

Yang Shen said: "Who is the father?" ”

"My son, I have troubled you for my father." Yang Tinghe thought about it and knew that this matter would spread sooner or later. So I told Yang Shen about the matter.

When Yang Shen heard this, he frowned, he knew that his father was not easy to handle.

Yang Tinghe is not a person, he is the representative of the civilian-official group in front of the emperor. Yang Tinghe opposes the succession of King Yong, if you think that it is only Yang Tinghe who opposes it, it is wrong, but everyone opposes it, Yang Tinghe, as the leader of the civil officials, if he does not take the lead in opposition, I am afraid that the evening festival will not be guaranteed. Therefore, Yang Tinghe can't shrink his head at this time.

How could Yang Tinghe not know what happened to him after he broke with Zhengde? So he prepared in advance to return to his hometown.

However, Yang Tinghe himself feels that he has no regrets, he has been the first assistant of the cabinet, and he has reached the peak of his life, and now he is retiring, it is nothing. But I only feel sorry for Yang Shen, Yang Shen is the champion and has a good future, just because he is the first assistant of the cabinet, he has almost no way to enter the cabinet, and he must be a cabinet scholar is a minister of the Son of Heaven, how can he inherit from father to son. Only after his own people have gone to tea and cooled can Yang Shen have a chance to enter the cabinet.

But now, he has hated His Majesty. I'm afraid that Your Majesty hates the house and the Wu. Emperor Zhengde wants to promote a civil official, it may be a little difficult, the Ming Dynasty has its own law, and the emperor is not free. But if you want to denigrate an official, it's very simple. Therefore, Yang Shen's future may not be good in the future.

Yang Shen listened to what Yang Tinghe said, and his heart was full of sorrow. I was restless for a while.

Yang Shen is in his prime and wants to show his strength, but he doesn't want to encounter this thing? His future was greatly hindered, so Yang Shen had to think carefully about whether there was a way out. Yang Tinghe didn't want to confront Zhengde and waited for Zhengde's fate. But Yang Shen didn't want to do this, he thought about it for a long time, and said: "Father, since my father doesn't want King Yong to succeed to the throne, why don't you write a book to impeach King Yong, cut King Yong's domain, and show your attitude to the world?" ”

Yang Tinghe said: "My father has already offended His Majesty, why should I offend King Yong?" His Majesty intends to let King Yong enter the succession, and I am afraid that the hundred officials will not be able to stop it. Offended the two emperors, how can my Yang family live? ”

After Yang Tinghe came back, he thought about it carefully, and felt that it was useless for him to oppose the entry of King Yong into the unification, because Zhengde was never a weak one, Zhengde wanted to march north, but the hundred officials did not agree, Zhengde wanted to tour the south, and the hundred officials did not agree, and Zhengde stayed in the south and did not return, and the hundred officials did not agree. But Zhengde did it one by one, which shows that as long as Zhengde thinks about it, the opinions of hundreds of officials are not important at all.

"Father's words are wrong," Yang Shen said: "The day before yesterday, my father had offended King Yong, and he was taboo at both ends of the rat's tail. Since he has offended, he has been offended, and the child has had a relationship with King Yong, so do you know what kind of person King Yong is? ”

"Oh?" Yang Tinghe asked, "What kind of person is King Yong?" ”

Yang Shen said: "As long as it is useful to King Yong." King Yong will naturally ignore his past suspicions. The child has some relationship with King Yong, after King Yong succeeded to the throne, he had to serve the child, and King Yong would not accept it, especially the more difficult it was for the father to cause King Yong's succession, the more important the child would be in the future. ”

Yang Tinghe is also a political veteran, thought about it, and immediately said clearly: "Okay, for the father will also pave the way for the child." ”

Why do you say that people can't stand if they are not ruthless? Sometimes they deal with you, not because they hate you, but because they are good people, and the so-called gentleman can deceive him. Yang Shen devised a two-pronged approach for himself. King Yong succeeded to the throne, because the dynasty was opposed, King Yong had to win over the courtiers, and Yang Shen, who had been with him for a long time, was the last candidate. If King Yong does not succeed to the throne, Yang Tinghe, as the first person to oppose King Yong's succession, how can he not be favored by the new emperor?

It's really properly foolproof.
