Now, Yang Dan no longer conceals it, and is directly open and honest.

The officials who were active in the court, such as Zhang Yi and others, were all protégés of Sanyang.

The Ming Dynasty opened the country with martial arts, and the civil official group was suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang in the Hongwu Dynasty, and when it arrived in the Jianwen Dynasty, it just raised its head, but there was a difficulty, and Zhu Di's style of doing things completely imitated his father, which was even more breathless.

It was not until the Renxuan Dynasty that the civil official group really began to develop and grow under the leadership of the cabinet Sanyang.

Among the three Yangs, Yang Shiqi was the leader, but in the eighth year of orthodoxy, something happened that directly made this old minister of the Five Dynasties lose his night.

Yang Shiqi's son Yang Ji relied on his father to be the first assistant of the cabinet, and he was tyrannical in his hometown of Taihe County, Ji'an Prefecture, bullying men and women, and causing death.

Although the matter is very serious, Yang Shiqi, as the first assistant of the cabinet, wants to suppress the matter, but it is just a matter of one sentence.

The problem is that there is a victim of suffering who bypassed the local officials, fought all the way from his hometown to the capital, and stabbed the eucalyptus in front of the emperor!

At this moment, the matter was completely exposed, Yang Ji was arrested by Jinyiwei and entered the Beijing Division, the evidence was ironclad, and Yang Shiqi had no choice but to watch his son being beheaded for public display.

The discipline was not strict, and he, the head of the cabinet, had no face to work anymore, so he returned to his hometown, worried about illness, and went to reunite with his son in less than a year.

After the fall of Yang Shiqi, there were another two Yangs, as well as his protégés and former officials, who were still active in the court.

In terms of qualifications, Yang Dan is the son of Yang Pu, Yang Tai is the grandson of Yang Rong, one of the two is in Beijing, the other is in Jiangnan, just secretly unite the gentry of the former dynasty, and then echo the response of hundreds of officials, and the matter is half.

The other half lies in military power, and civilian officials control the government, but cannot control the army.

At this time, there was a sudden episode, and the two inspectors of the Imperial Court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate found the clue and prepared to report it.

So, Yang Dan had a plan and conspired with the left deputy of the Imperial Palace, and let the two superintendents go down to investigate Yang Hong's deficit!

Because Wu Heng, the right squire of the Ministry of War, has already found out that when Yang Hong was the chief military officer of Datong and the chief military officer of Xuanfu, and after he became a squire in the court, he did not know how many deficits there were under his hands.

In this way, he can not only get rid of dissidents with the help of Yang Hong's hands, but also drag him into the water, which is simply a double win.

The more Zhang Yi listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and his face was so black that ink could seep out.

He never expected that these people would plot a rebellion under the emperor's nose, and what was even more infuriating was that the emperor was quite cooperative, and ran away with a few brocade guards.

Zi said: It's good when you go, you can't come back!

"Who knows about this? Does Cabinet Cao Gong know? ”

Zhang Yi asked the last question because he had to know how serious the matter was.

Yang Dan shook his head and said, "Cao Shoufu doesn't know. ”

"Do you not know, or are you unsuccessful?"

"I didn't tell him at all!"

"Why?"

"He is from the north, and he is not of the same mind as me, not to mention, he is already the head of the cabinet."

The implication is that even if the crown prince ascends the throne, Cao Nai will not be able to go further.

And Zhang Yi is different, he is now the second assistant, and he can become the first assistant, a very human minister.

Yang Dan's words also have a meaning, the officials in the court are divided into factions, from the big side, there are two factions, the north and the south.

The southern faction can be divided into a number of small factions, such as the Zhejiang faction, the Huaixi faction, and the Huguang faction, but these people will immediately unite when dealing with the northern faction.

The most significant example is the first imperial examination of the Hongwu Dynasty, and all the Jinshi on the list are all from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to make a single Enke North Field and re-select 300 northern students.

In the court, the northern and southern factions have always been at odds with each other, and the southern faction has always pressed the northern faction, so naturally they will not wait to see Cao Nai.

At this time, Zhang Yi already knew the ins and outs of the matter, the planners were led by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang factions, the protégés of the former dynasty Sanyang team, they didn't want to see the imperial court open the sea to trade, and they didn't want their land to be taxed, especially since the New Deal, the lives of the people have changed a lot, which led to the gradual loss of the superiority of these scholars.

I think that at the beginning, in order to open the sea, the emperor once went on a killing spree.

Tens of thousands of people were implicated, however, in the end, they were counterattacked by these people.

In the face of huge profits, no one wants to back down.

Even if you are the emperor, you can't!

From tonight's conversation, he also received another extremely important information, that is, the death of the first emperor seems to be related to this matter.

At that time, he was just a minor editor and didn't know the inside story.

If what Yang Dan said is true, they can join forces to kill the first emperor, and naturally they can also kill the current emperor.

Zhang Yi silently closed his eyes, if the new monarch is changed in this way, the ministers will inevitably be united, and when the time comes, his words will be a holy decree, which will be more effective than the emperor's words.

At this moment, he suddenly understood Hu Weiyong's thoughts.

Who can resist temptation in the face of great power?

Yang Dan waited for a long time, and when he saw that he was still hesitant, he said, "Brother Zhang, why are you so troubled?" Today, when the son is unkind, he extorts tyranny from the gentry and the common people, and suppresses us and other officials to death, and they ask themselves, is it worth our lives for this person? ”

Zhang Yi sighed and said, "You are a coup d'état, if you make a slight mistake, you will never recover!" ”

Yang Dan listened, but smiled instead, and said: "In the cabinet, Cao Nai is in Mobei, Yu Qian is farther away, and he is in the bitter cold of the extreme north, Peng Qing has already gone to the West, only Brother Zhang is left, and there are hundreds of officials and Jiangnan gentry behind him, why worry about the big thing?" ”

"When you staged a coup d'état in Beijing, are you the three major battalions an ornament?"

"Three battalions?"

Yang Dan had an even bigger smile on his face, and said: "Just forge a few reports, saying that the Nanyang Zhuwei has been attacked by the enemy and suffered heavy losses, and then the military department will issue an order, and the Shenji Battalion and the Fifth Army Battalion will leave tomorrow!" ”

After Zhang Yi listened, his face became even more gloomy, and in the absence of Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the left and right servants could manipulate everything, whether it was forging a report or issuing an order, no one would question it.

He raised his eyes and asked, "The 3,000 battalions are training in Shanxi, and they can return to Beijing at any time!" ”

Yang Dan replied: "The three thousand battalions are in Mobei, but we already have a way to deal with it!" ”

"What did you say?"

Zhang Yi was shocked, didn't the 3,000 battalion go to Shanxi to practice, when did they go to Mobei?

"You don't know yet, do you?"

Yang Dan smiled contemptuously and said, "Long before the emperor left, the three thousand battalions were broken into pieces and went to Mobei first. ”

Zhang Yi was horrified in his heart, the three thousand battalions went to Mobei, and he didn't even know the news, Yang Dan knew it clearly.

Doesn't it mean that the emperor's every move is under their control?
