Chapter 203: A Good Show
In the past few days when Yang Ming was away, the court only discussed one thing, how to deal with Yang Liang.
Because it was related to the clan, Yang Xiong, the former one of the four nobles of the early Sui Dynasty and the spiritual leader of the clan, also returned.
Yang Xiong is 65 years old and has been at home for 12 years.
Because in the early years of the emperor, Yang Jian relied too much on Yang Xiong, which led to Yang Xiong's excessive authority, and Yang Jian was suspicious, so he cut his power step by step, and finally gave him one of the three princes, Sikong, and let him be idle at home.
Of course, Yang Guang also knew that Yang Xiong could not be given too high authority, so he was allowed to participate in the court meeting in the future, but he did not have any substantive position.
In the presence of his father, Yang Gongren suddenly became stubborn, and he would not be pressed by Yang Susuwei and others like before.
Yang Xiong's seniority is extremely high, the same generation as Gao Gong Suwei, a generation higher than Yang Su, because he is commonplace, so he stands in the first row of the right hand direction of Emperor Yang Guang, and Yang Su is side by side.
Yang Su is the first near the center of the main hall, and Yang Xiong is the side position inside.
The three dukes are also ranked, Taiwei is the first, Situ is the second, and Sikong is the third.
Yang Su is Situ, so he is in the first place, and the ones standing behind them are those Shangshu.
Yang Guang's left-hand direction, the crown prince Yang Zhao is the only one, in the first place, and Gao Gong is in the back because he is one of the three divisions.
If Yang Ming is here, he will be tied with Gao Gong, and he is the first, Gao Gong is on the side, and behind Gao Gong is the chief official of the Eleventh Temple.
In the past, when Yang Jian was in the court, there were not many officials who participated in the court meeting, and there were basically only a dozen or twenty.
But after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, all the ministers and scholars, and the chief officials of the eleven temples, Zuo Guan, all needed to be present, in addition, there were some more special, such as He Ruobi, Yu Wenshu, Guo Yan and other military elders.
The rest of the yamen officials need to listen to the announcement at the yamen's office, and as long as your name is called here, you have to go over and wait for inquiries.
The increase in the number of people at the court meeting also shows the importance that Yang Guang attaches to government affairs.
As for what to do with Yang Liang, the officials almost overwhelmingly believe that he should be executed.
On the side of the clan, Yang Xiong's attitude was more Mohu, after all, it was not appropriate to work against so many people on the first day he returned to the dynasty.
Moreover, the emperor's attitude was the most important, and Yang Xiong couldn't figure out what Yang Guang meant for a while, so he didn't dare to express his position at will.
The Yushitai side was the most ruthless, and Chen Xian, the middle of the imperial history, directly knocked his head full of blood on the main hall, and begged Yang Guang to execute Yang Liang immediately.
Not long after the death of the first emperor, he raised an anti-flag, endangering the society of the country, which is a great unfilial piety, and asked Yang Liang to be executed, and all of Yang Liang's family scrolls were exiled to Lingnan.
Chen Xian, according to Zhao Yichen's instructions, used Yang Yinjiang as the reason to provoke the relationship between Yang Zhao and Yang Ming, and afterwards, he took refuge in Yang Zhao and reported Zhao Yichen against the water.
Anyway, Yang Zhao likes this person, so he has been using it until now.
This person came out to come forward, everyone knew their minds, and behind it must be the instruction of the crown prince Yang Zhao.
Of course, Yang Guang also knew, but he didn't say anything, just sighed vigorously.
At the five-day court meeting, even how to deal with Yang Liang did not discuss a result.
On the sixth day, Yang Ming returned to the court.
At today's court meeting, the Yushitai side held on, and still thought that Yang Liang should be executed as soon as possible.
The imperial historian of the Yushitai is Zhang Heng, this person is the emperor's absolute confidant, so everyone naturally thinks that the emperor is more inclined to kill Yang Liang.
But Yang Ming knows that Yang Liang will not die.
Seeing that the situation was already one-sided, Yang Xiong did not stand up and express different opinions, even if the emperor had the intention to let the king of Han go, he had to kill him under the pressure of the ministers.
The point is that he can see that Yang Guang is a little hesitant.
So he stood up and said:
"The minister thinks that the king of Han is the flesh and blood of the two saints, and His Majesty's siblings, if he is executed, it is not conducive to His Majesty's name of benevolence and filial piety.
Yang Su on the side almost vomited blood angrily, and snorted coldly:
"What does King Ande mean, the old man is a traitor?"
Yang Xiong said: "Don't think too much about the Duke of Yue, the rebellion of the King of Han is an indisputable fact, the King of Han is the direct line of the clan, how to deal with it, only in Your Majesty." ”
The meaning of his words is very clear, the internal affairs of our clan, you are mixed with a fart?
Yang Zhiji, the king of Cai, is no longer General Zuo Yu Lin Wei at the moment, but has taken over as the general of Zuo Wuhou of Yuwenshu back then, and he also stood up to speak for Yang Liang.
After all, after the original change of Renshou Palace, after he got Yang Ming's prompt, he immediately broke into the palace and welcomed Yang Guang back, which was a great credit, so Yang Guang was still very good to him.
And Yang Ming knew better in his heart that his father would not execute Yang Liang, because he was about to clean up Yang Yong, and it was impossible to kill two flesh and blood brothers in such a short period of time.
Yang Yong and Yang Liang, choose one to kill, everyone knows how to choose.
So this time, Yang Ming also stood up:
"The name of the father's love, broadcast the world, women and children all know, although the king of Han is extremely evil, but he is the father and the emperor's brother, you can be lightly dismissed, the father is benevolent and filial, when the two saints do not bear to ascend the immortal soon, they will kill their own brother, you suggest killing Yang Liang, there is nothing to blame, but the father's flesh and blood, who knows?"
As soon as these words came out, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty all looked at Yang Ming, and everyone wondered.
Including Yang Xiong, he didn't expect such a strong teammate to pop up?
You must know that Yang Minggang returned to the DPRK with a great victory, and his words now carry a lot of weight in the DPRK.
The crown prince Yang Zhao also frowned, turned his back, and gave Yang Ming a look again and again.
Something even more surprising happened,
I only heard Yang Guang sigh, and said with a sad expression: "Brother Xian, I can't bear to speak, and I want to give in to the law and forgive me for death." ”
Final word.
The emperor's attitude is already very obvious, people are saying, I don't have many brothers, I can't bear it, this time I plan to violate the law and avoid Yang Liang from death.
Seeing this, Chen Xian of Yushitai directly cried and knelt on the ground, crying vigorously to complain of His Majesty's mercy.
This kid saw the ability of the wind to steer the rudder, and fought with Yang.
Although some people continued to ask for Yang Liang to be executed, the elders with the highest seniority were silent.
Yang Liang was lucky to escape.
At this time, Yang Yue saw this, took a deep breath, stood up, held an apricot yellow scroll in his hand, and said loudly:
"The minister has a matter, risking death."
Yang Guang was puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”
So, how did Yang Yue get the edict of the first emperor and the content of the edict, and he told it at the court meeting in 1510.
At this moment, Yang Xiong was completely confused.
He is a veteran elder, so he naturally figured out at once that the emperor did not kill Yang Liang, but wanted to keep and kill Yang Yong.
According to Yang Yue, the decree was received from Ronghua's wife, Cai, who had become a nun.
But the stakes were so important that Yang Yue didn't dare to take it out easily, but sent people to verify it in many ways, and only then did he confirm that it was the emperor's edict.
"The first emperor will not have this will, Aiqing is probably mistaken?" Yang Guang said with a shocked face.
Yang Youyi said in a positive manner: "There is Mrs. Ronghua who can testify, and the minister has also consulted King Cai and confirmed that it is written by the emperor himself." ”
Yang Zhiji, who had already communicated with Yang in advance, also hurriedly stood up and said:
"When the emperor was alive, he had instructed the ministers and Dou Gong, the edict (edict) of the edict, next to the words, one less horizontal, before His Majesty personally wrote, the minister confirmed, when it was the emperor's edict is not false."
This time Dou Qing was brought out again, so Yang Guang called Dou Qing and asked directly without talking about the edict:
"The Supreme agreed with Qing on the matter of the edict back then, can there be a special explanation?"
Dou Qing was completely unaware, and replied honestly:
"The edict is one less horizontal, the supreme claims that there is no hook in the word (I) month, and the treasure seal covers the letter seal of the Son of Heaven, which should be true."
The emperor's seal generally has six sides, namely the emperor's seal, the emperor's seal, the emperor's letter seal, the seal of the Son of Heaven, the seal of the Son of Heaven, and the letter seal of the Son of Heaven.
So Yang Yue unfolded the edict and let everyone see,
Sure enough, the edict on it was missing a horizontal line, and it was also covered with the letter seal of the Son of Heaven.
This thing is very fake, as long as you Yang Zhiji cooperate, I will get one out for you in a minute, not to mention that the six treasures are in Yang Guang's hands at the moment, he doesn't want to cover where to build?
There were people in the temple who understood, but no one dared to pierce it.
Gao Gong knew that it would be useless even if he stood up, so he quietly pushed Yang Ming's arm underneath, he wanted to see what Yang Ming meant.
Although Yang Ming gave him a look, Gao Gong didn't understand.
Since the edict was true, Yang Su and others stood up one after another and asked Yang Guang to obey the last orders of the emperor and execute the abolished prince Yong.
In fact, the voice of the court asking to kill Yang Yong has never been broken, since the death of Yang Jian, Yushitai will play almost every day that day, but Yang Guang has always ignored it.
Now Yang Yue has taken out the edict of the first emperor, which is tantamount to "forcing" Yang Guang, and Yang Yong must be executed.
Although Yang Jian is dead, the effect of the edict is still very large, and Yang Guang's disobedience is equivalent to disobeying the emperor's will, and he will have a reputation for unfilial piety.
For a time, more than a dozen ministers knelt down and asked Yang Guang to obey the order.
Yang Xiong was a little afraid to speak, because he dared to speak for Yang Liang, because he saw that the emperor had mercy on his subordinates, but this time, he knew that Yang Guang really wanted to kill Yang Yong.
"I don't want to give me the courage to die, so don't embarrass me," Yang Guang said with a sad expression.
His words are tantamount to putting the blame on those ministers, which means that I don't plan to kill, you have been forcing me.
The front foot also said that I am a brother in the end, and I can't bear to speak, but now the tone has changed immediately.
Yang Ming's heart at this moment was somewhat hesitant, it stands to reason that he didn't have to come forward to help Yang Yong intercede, after all, Yang Lihua had already accepted his fate.
If he doesn't help, Yang Lihua won't say anything about him anymore.
But after thinking about it, he still decided to stand up, but this time it was not towards Yang Guang, but the ministers who knelt on the ground and begged for their lives:
】
"Your Majesty attaches the most importance to flesh and blood, why are you forcing each other? All the princes are courtiers, but they can't bear to see His Majesty lose his brother? ”
Gao Gong was stunned...... This kid really can't guess, every time he acts unexpectedly, what does he want to do?
What does Yang Ming want to do? Clearly helping Yang Yong speak, he is actually helping Yang Guang shirk his responsibility.
Emperor Yang Guang liked Yang Ming's words very much, and couldn't help nodding and saying:
"What King Qin said is in line with my intentions, I want to forgive, and I ask Zhu Aiqing not to be pressed."
Next, it's Yang Yue's matter, this pot, he risked his life, and he had to carry it on his back.
After the court meeting, Yang Yue took people to the East Palace.
The edict was written by Yang Jian to Yang Shuang, Yang Shuang had passed away, so Yang Yue took the initiative to take the matter of Yang Yong's death.
This kid pointed at Yang Guang's nose at the court meeting and scolded Yang Guang for being unfilial and disobeying the emperor.
Things have come to this point, and those big bosses can't really let Yang Guang be infamous for being unfilial, so they have asked for their lives and abolished the prince.
Yang Yue also received twenty rods because of his great disrespect, so he went to the East Palace with a limp.
What a show.......
