Chapter 722: Two Great Traps
Yang Tinghe's words really worked.
Zhu Si didn't fight anymore and silently accepted the result.
When the scattered courtiers came out of the Fengtian Palace, Lin Jun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, came over and exclaimed, "It's still the middle hall, what you say, Your Majesty must listen to it."
Yang Tinghe did not squeak at this.
Because Yang Tinghe was on duty that day, he had to go out of the palace to rest, and he would not go to the cabinet to be on duty later in the afternoon.
Mao Ji hurriedly followed, wanting to ask Yang Tinghe what he thought of what the emperor said in the court, so that he could help Yang Tinghe convey the meaning to Wenchen, so that everyone in the party could know it.
"Jiefu, you seem to be a little worried about this?" Mao Ji could see that Yang Tinghe did not have any joy because Zhu Si adopted his opinion.
Yang Tinghe said, "Your Majesty's previous words clearly wanted to tie me up with the Northwest Military Affairs and force me to come out and make a statement....... If others don't understand it, don't you understand it?"
After Yang Tinghe's statement, Mao Ji reacted.
Originally, Mao Ji thought that Yang Tinghe was a little troublesome because of a little dislike with the emperor, or because the emperor's attitude was tough that day.
Now I know that Yang Tinghe was worried that the emperor was using tricks to firmly bind him to the military and government of the northwest.
Mao Ji said: "Although the war situation in the northwest is tight now, there is no sign of deterioration, and Jiefu should not worry."
"If something really goes wrong, is it going to make me doomed?"
Yang Tinghe coldly threw out a sentence.
Mao Ji didn't know what to say.
From the beginning of the removal of Zang Feng and the replacement of Chen Jiuchou in the northwest, in fact, Yang Tinghe has been firmly bound to the military affairs of the northwest, and Mao Ji probably understands why Yang Tinghe knows that the little emperor is provoking him today, but he still comes forward to guarantee the military affairs of the northwest.
Not for anything else, just because Yang Tinghe knew that even if he didn't come out to speak, any deviation in the northwest would have something to do with him Yang Tinghe's advocacy.
Since you know that you can't hide, then you will be deeply bound, instead of thinking about escaping, otherwise you will not be a person inside and out.
........
..........
When Concubine Yang and Qibei were stunned late, they returned to the cabinet Hengli.
Yang Tinghe rested in the house that day, and did not communicate with the outside world, not wanting Mao Ji to bring a message to Yang Tinghe: "...... It is reported that the master of ceremonies, Zhang's father-in-law, had visited Liu Renzhong's mansion three days ago and made a private visit."
"What did you say?"
Yang Tinghe's emotions came up in an instant, and his anger bubbled out.
Mao Ji said: "It was the people in Liu Renzhong's mansion who said it to the outside world...... Today, Liu Renzhong entered the cabinet, and the people of Liu's Mansion boasted outside, so the letter came out."
Liu Chun was not the focus of the power struggle, and there were not many people who paid attention to him, Mao Ji said that it was the news from the servants of Liu Chun's mansion, but in fact, in Yang Tinghe's opinion, it is also possible that Mao Ji secretly sent someone to buy the people in Liu Chun's mansion and spy on some news.
It's tantamount to buying off the informant, and now the informant has sent back useful information.
Yang Tinghe's face was gloomy, and he said, "That means that in fact, Your Majesty's purpose from the beginning is to let Liu Renzhong enter the cabinet, not ......."
Again, I only said half the story.
In fact, if he didn't say it, Mao Ji could also see that the reason why Yang Tinghe made a compromise on Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet was to block Yang Yiqing's way back to the court.
Now it seems that he has fallen into the trap of the little emperor.
Counted again?!
Thinking of the little emperor in the court early this morning, he deliberately used words to provoke him, asking him to make a "guarantee" for the military affairs of the northwest, so as to block the fact that the little emperor wanted to take over the military affairs of the Xuanfu by the governor of the inner three passes.
All kinds of behaviors are aimed at him Yang Tinghe.
How could Yang Tinghe not be angry?
Mao Ji sighed, "Why don't you wait for Renzhong to arrive tomorrow and ask him alone?"
Yang Tinghe's face was full of gloom, now that the matter has been reported, it seems that it is not groundless, and if he thinks about the whole thing carefully, it seems to be small
The means used by the emperor were not clever, but he secretly sent someone to meet Yang Yiqing, and then let the people in Jingshi make a lot of noise, so that Yang Tinghe would lose ground, and he would actually compromise and agree to let Liu Chun enter the cabinet?
Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet seems to have nothing to do with the overall situation, and even if Liu Chun arrives in the cabinet, it will not affect his decision-making power.
But Liu Chun is not a person from Yang Ting and the faction, he is the object of the little emperor's strong advocacy to enter the cabinet, Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet has really slapped Yang Ting and the people of the faction in the face, making people see that it turns out that the people who followed you Yang Ting and the people before and after the saddle, such as Shi Xuan and Feng Xi, will not only not be able to get your help at a critical time, but will be thrown into the well by you? Would you rather let Liu Chun, who was elected by the little emperor, enter the cabinet than help the people of your own faction operate?
Who will work for you Yang Tinghe in the future?
"Why didn't I think of that?"
Yang Tinghe felt annoyed.
The little emperor's goal was not to let Yang Yiqing enter the cabinet at all, but to use the matter of electing Liu Chun to the cabinet to hit his reputation in Yang Ting and the court!
This kid's scheming!
It's just sinister and vicious!
Mao Ji said, "Jiefu, why are you like this? After all, Renzhong is also a Hanlin Bachelor, and he ...... I don't think I've done anything wrong, right?"
Although Mao Ji also saw that this incident had a great impact on Yang Tinghe's reputation, but taking care of his face, some things still couldn't be said directly, but he had to persuade Yang Tinghe to look away, how to say that Liu Chun was also expected by everyone, and he entered the cabinet in accordance with the rules of the imperial court.
Hanlin bachelor entered the cabinet, this is not in accordance with the rules?
Although Shi Ban has been a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, his status in the system of the Hanlin Academy is far inferior to Liu Chun.
Of course, Liu Chun does not belong to your Yang Tinghe faction, which is another matter.
But even if he is not from your faction, you can draw him closer to you, so that the impact on your reputation will be minimized? It can also be said to outsiders that it is precisely because you have already accepted Liu Chun in advance that you will agree to this matter? Don't your protégés think that they can still eat and drink spicy food if they follow you?
"Whew..."
Yang Tinghe exhaled a long breath.
He'd finally seen the point.
I thought that the little emperor had been controlled by him recently, but now I realized that the little emperor was in the camp step by step, and first made him take it lightly by showing weakness, but as a result, in the matter of the Northwest Military Administration and Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet, he fell into the trap twice in succession.
That can only show that the "masters" around the emperor have always been there.
In other words, the master is the emperor himself.
The means of this little emperor......
Yang Tinghe was quite jealous.
......
.........
Originally, Yang Tinghe also planned to ask Liu Chun alone after the court meeting the next day, and by the way, he would do the solicitation.
To make up for it afterwards and save some face, you still have to try.
As a result, it seems that the little emperor had expected this layer a long time ago, not only sent Zhang Zuo to communicate secretly with Liu Chun in advance, but also directly summoned Liu Chun alone after the discussion of this day, on the grounds that he wanted to discuss military affairs with Liu Chun, in front of all the ministers, he did not give Yang Ting and this Shoufu scholar face at all.
The emperor wants to find someone to discuss the military plane, not Yang Tinghe, nor Peng Ze, but Liu Chun, who has just entered the cabinet?
This signal is clearly sent to the outside world.
I trust Liu Chun very much.
"Don't think about it too much, Your Majesty may just talk to Liu Ge because he has just entered the cabinet." When the ministers dispersed at the end of the court meeting, Lin Jun and the others were still helping Yang Tinghe explain to those ministers who did not know what to do.
But this kind of rhetoric alone is not enough, Yang Tinghe was snubbed by the emperor, which is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see.
The emperor's move was tantamount to putting Yang Tinghe again.
Yang Tinghe even had to wonder if the so-called people in Liu Chun's mansion leaked the matter of Zhang Zuo's visit, and the little emperor deliberately found someone to leak it?
deliberately let him know about this matter and asked him to recruit Liu Chun, but as soon as the emperor turned his head, he told him that this is not good, Liu Chun is mine
Man, did you die of this heart early?
Yang Tinghe seemed to have nothing to do with Liu Chun's separate summons, but there was a yin fire gathering in his heart, making him unable to vent his inner emotions.
.........
.......
Yang Tinghe was still on duty that night.
After leaving the palace, the first thing he did was to go home, and on the way back, he asked his son Yang Shen to come back from the Hanlin Academy.
"Father, is there something urgent?"
Yang Shen looked dazed.
If you want to say that Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet has hit the self-confidence of Yang Ting and the people of the faction, Yang Shen is actually the first to bear the brunt.
But now Yang Shen has a feeling of being snubbed by his father, so that he has no enthusiasm to do things for his father now, so this feeling is not forced to express delivery.
Yang Tinghe said: "The matter in Nanjing is almost over, you should write to Nanjing as soon as possible, and let Mao Gong and Jingdao return to the court as soon as possible."
"Huh?"
Yang Shen asked with a puzzled expression, "Father, didn't you say that you want to let Mao Gong take the opportunity to meet with the Wei State Guild to discuss things?" Until now, he hadn't seen the Duke of Wei."
Yang Tinghe waved his hand and said, "There is no need for this."
Now Yang Tinghe feels that he no longer has the energy to take care of Nanjing's affairs, and it is the top priority to get things done in the northwest first.
In case something really happens in the northwest, then he Yang Tinghe has to carry a big black pot because of the removal of Zang Feng, and now he is in the court on the grounds that there will be no accident in the northwest, blocking the emperor's proposal to add Tang Yin's military power.
Now Yang Tinghe must first ensure that the northwest will not be allowed to lose.
"Father doesn't have to talk to his son about this matter alone, just notify him, after all, they are ordered to go to Nanjing, and his son will write a letter to him......... I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
Even though Yang Shen got his father's order, he was still bargaining.
Yang Tinghe could see that his son was discouraged.
Yang Tinghe sighed: "With cultivation, Master Shi told his father that he wanted to promote you to enter the service, and his father was also to let you have more experience, but he didn't let you go further, and now you are still the official rank when you entered the Hanlin Academy, you should also go further and realize your ambitions."
"Huh?"
Yang Shen's eyes suddenly had a brilliance.
It turns out that the father still remembers to promote his son?
I was the champion in the six-year examination of Zhengde, and I entered the Hanlin Academy to be a Hanlin revision, and it is still a revision, although I am not in the court for a long time in the middle, but you can't be too partial as a father.
Whining.
My father finally remembered me!
Wait a minute!
Why did Master Shi remind his father before his father remembered, didn't my father want to promote me to study or lecture in the past?
