Changying was afraid that she wouldn't be able to survive and wanted to dissuade her, but Ling Yuan persuaded her first and said, "It's okay to keep her busy, haven't you seen that she has been in much better spirits recently?" ”

Changying observed for two days, and saw that what he said was true, and her aunt was busy and really forgot all her worries, so she just left.

It just so happened that she was also very busy, Yang Su always pulled her to the Jin Wangfu every once in a while in order to be perfect, and she also had to be on an errand, and the days passed like a shuttle.

A year ago, the Ministry of Rites came to hire again, and Yang Su moved to the house on the fifth day of the first month, and it was not until the New Year that everything was carried out in an orderly manner, so he could breathe.

Of course, Yang Su is not idle, even busier than Changying, because in addition to being busy with the wedding, he also has official business, and the construction of the Ministry of Industry that was prepared a year ago is already underway, and the most noteworthy thing is Caoyun's side.

Ling Yuan paid attention to the Caoyun Governor's Mansion for three months, and had already indirectly contacted Governor Chen Zhijiang twice, and there had already been a spot in the Navy Battalion and the Governor's Mansion.

It can be said that there is basically no change, but it is worth noting that Chen Zhijiang has contacted the Gu family much more times in the past month than before, and he is no longer close to the East Palace.

"And when Chen Zhijiang went to Beijing to report on his work, he also made a special trip to visit the Hou Mansion of Dongting, and the filial piety he dedicated to the Hou Mansion was a pair of large Dongzhu, a pair of bloodstones, and 30,000 taels of silver."

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Yang Su invited Ling Yuan into the mansion, and Ling Yuan said so.

Yang Su twisted the spotted finger on his hand, thoughtful: "This is strange, Chen Zhijiang was installed by the East Palace at the beginning of the effort to squeeze out Fan Xin, why is he wagging his tail at the Gu family now?" ”

"If you ask like that, then there is one more thing that you may find even more strange."

Ling Yuan leaned against the back of the chair, holding the special Longjing tea in the palace, and said: "Not only is Chen Zhijiang's ambiguous attitude towards the Gu family, but Yang Ji has rarely seen Gu Lian recently, or in other words, even if Gu Lian has entered the East Palace, it is Gu Lian himself who asks to see him, not Yang Ji who wants to find him."

"Specifically, this time starts after the incident with Concubine Wu."

Yang Su maintained a knee-bracing posture and looked at him with bated breath for a long time: "Are you saying that the rift between Yang Ji and the Gu family is already getting bigger?" ”

"Chen Zhijiang has already fallen to the Gu family, then there is no doubt about it." Ling Yuan said, "But I'm still investigating the specific reason." ”

Yang Su stared.

After a moment, he said: "Cao Yun Si is the biggest bargaining chip in the Gu family's hands, as long as Cao Yun Si takes it, the Gu family's vitality will be hurt." It is precisely because of this that the Gu family will never give up the Cao Yun Division. ”

Ling Yuan teased his eyes: "What do you want?" ”

"Actually, there are two strategies to get things done." Yang Su said: "First, it is soft, accept Song Xiao's suggestion, resume sea transportation, and overhead transportation." ”

"Where are the conditions for the resumption of maritime transport at the moment?" Ling Yuan objected, "If it works, how could the bell dissuade Song Xiao in the first place?" ”

It's too much to implicate, and naturally it won't work.

"Then come hard." Yang Su continued, "At present, it is imminent for the court to consolidate the imperial power, the Gu family has controlled the government for many years, and there are many crimes, we can directly collect the evidence of the Gu family's crimes and arrest them in court."

"But in this case, the Gu Jiayu Party will inevitably join forces with the Cao Yun Division to control the river as a threat.

"The robbery of the river is equivalent to choking the throat of the imperial court, and the goods in the south cannot come up, which directly affects the Jingshi.

"If the elites in Beijing cut off their livelihoods, it is very likely to backfire, and those officials who were originally neutral may turn against us and become the help of the Gu family. Even the emperor is afraid that he will have to compromise in the end. ”

Regardless of which side of the Gu family and Yang Ji falls, they will all be finished. And the Gu family fell first and did more with half the effort, leaving Yang Ji is actually not a problem, everyone understands this truth, but if this road is so easy to walk, there is no need to wait until the situation is still deadlocked today.

Ling Yuan was silent.

Yang Su continued: "The key to whether or not it can be done is actually that the governor's mansion of the five armies is not in unison. ”

Ling Yuan glanced at him, but did not refute.

The emperor's will was as big as the sky, but in order to govern a minister, he mobilized the national army to rush to the canal - the entire section of the river was thousands of miles long, and it was not easy to transfer troops.

It's even more difficult to control it.

Once it is strong, it is likely that the war will break out from the south to the north, and there will be more than 70,000 soldiers in the sailor battalion, and with the convenience of the terrain, they can fight to the death if they resist.

Although this is cool, it will inevitably affect many Li people on both sides of the river.

But if it hurts the people, first of all, the emperor's reputation will not have much face, and because the Gu family has made many achievements in the imperial court for several generations, and the prince and the Gu family have become one, so the Gu family will be attacked like this, and the emperor will inevitably fall into the infamy of violence and indiscriminate killing.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the emperor, who had always been very worried, to make an order.

Secondly, even if an order is issued, the lords and nobles still have to think about their own positions and dissuade them. You must know that Yang Ji is the crown prince after all, if it is like Gu Zhe who won the crown and begged to be blackmailed, the emperor fell behind again and compromised the Gu family, what will everyone do at that time?

The Gu family has to make a few inches of progress, and afterwards they have to propose a few to kill the family to calm their anger, will the emperor hand over or not?

In the final analysis, it was because the emperor was not bold enough, even if the governor's mansion of the five armies was dedicated to the country and the king, he could not afford to risk this heart.

So Yang Su's words actually hit the nail on the head.

"Have you thought about it? I'm different. Yang Su looked over, "If these people from your five military camps can work together, I won't say much, as long as your Ling family, Feng family, and Rong family can help me, I have the determination to not give up until I reach my goal, and the emperor can do it, this matter may not be without a chance of winning." ”

Ling Yuan's brows furrowed.

Yang Su is indeed different from the emperor.

The emperor is the king of a country, he has many constraints, and he personally went to deal with the Gu family, and there is no room to turn around. The key is that he has been suppressed by the Gu family for many years, and the nobles do not have so much confidence in him.

On the other hand, Yang Su's performance along the way has been remarkable, and Changying's high-profile refuge in the school field has also driven many people's minds.

He is the governor of the Yamen of the Five Cities, and he is justified in impeaching the courtiers as a courtier, and the emperor above the court is not so passive, and can even cover it for him.

As long as the generals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are willing to obey Yang Su's dispatch to achieve the goal of taking down Gu Zhe and clear the big trouble, then even if he commits the crime of transferring troops privately, the emperor will not be able to turn back.

In short, compared with the emperor himself, even if Yang Su is risky, he still has a lot of chances of winning.

"I'm fine, but it's hard for others to say." Ling Yuan pondered deeply and said, "Except for Shaoqing in the Feng family, I'm just afraid that Uncle Feng and Brother Shaoyin won't be able to talk. But Shaoqing is still on an errand under the bell and can't play much of a role.

"The Rong family's side - I'm afraid that it will be even more choking, Xiuxiu has taken back the bell with the child in her belly, I have the impression that Rong Yin has never been so embarrassed, she is already good, how can she come to help you?

"If you look for him, I think it's better to start from Fu Rong's side."
