From the perspective of later generations, Yang Yiqing is not an idealist, but a realist.

Yang Yiqing has never been confined to the Confucian style of righteous men and gentlemen. He was more ruthless than anyone else when it was time to strike. It's time for intrigues, he's more treacherous and terrifying than anyone else.

In the study of King Anhua.

Chang Feng, Zhang Yong, and Yang Yiqing sat in front of the bookcase.

Chang Feng said: "Among the three of us, Mr. Yang is a master of calligraphy and is good at copying. The matter of Zhu Jin. A pen is a knife. Mr. Yang was also invited to do the work. ”

After speaking, Chang Feng opened a box. There are more than 20 letters in the box. These are the notes on file of the General Administration. Each letter came from Liu Jin and his party backbone.

Chang Feng said: "Please ask Mr. Yang to imitate the handwriting of these people and forge the letter they wrote to the King of Anhua in collusion and rebellion." ”

After speaking, Chang Feng handed more than 20 letters to Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing reached out to pick it up, Chang Feng seemed to regret it, he shrank back and pulled out Zhang Cai's letter.

Yang Yiqing asked: "Do you want to let Zhang Cai go?" ”

Chang Feng said: "Zhang Cai is the most virtuous person among Liu Jin's henchmen. Many evil things Liu Jin did were corrected by him at the risk of death. Just let him go. ”

After speaking, Chang Feng handed all the music to Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong looked at the recital.

Yang Yiqing was puzzled: "Among the Eight Tigers, apart from Liu Jin, only Gu Dayong is in your planting list?" ”

Chang Feng bowed slightly: "Wei Bin, Qiu Ju, Ma Yongcheng and others are also on our planting list." The emperor would never agree with Liu Jin's rebellion. ”

Yang Yiqing asked, "Why?" ”

Chang Feng said: "The eunuch is the emperor's tool to suppress civil officials. Let's say that seven of the eight tigers 'participated in the rebellion'. The emperor will not overturn a boatload of people with a single rod. Liu Jin, who was on the boat, was able to follow to save his life. ”

"So, I mean, eight tigers keep six tigers. In the future, the Six Tigers will be headed by Gonggong Zhang, an upright and virtuous eunuch. ”

"The dictatorship of eunuchs is hateful, but the dictatorship of civil officials is also undesirable. Only by letting the internal and external dynasties check and balance each other is the best policy. ”

Yang Yiqing bowed slightly: "Well, I understand." ”

Zhang Yong was also a little puzzled: "Why is Zhang Cai's name in the list but not Qian Ning and Shi Wenyi's names?" Both of them have betrayed you. ”

Chang Feng said: "No. Zhang Cai really betrayed me. Qian Ning and Shi Wenyi belong to the trend at most. Liu Jinquan leans towards the government and the opposition, if they don't cling to it, they will die. ”

"Besides, there is still the face of the rich husband and Shi Wenzhong."

Yang Yiqing said: "Okay." I'll forge it first, oh no, copy the rebellion letter of Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, and Liu Ji. Let's go to King Anhua. ”

Chang Feng and Zhang Yong went out of the study. I came to the room where King Anhua was being held.

Qiu Yue is very careful. In order to prevent the king from committing suicide, there are no tables and chairs in the room. A quilt was attached to the wall to prevent King Anhua from hitting the wall.

He also put an improved version of the "horse cage cover" on King Anhua's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

Chang Feng was shocked when he saw this: "Ahhh Although His Royal Highness rebelled, he was still in the blood of Taizu after all. How could Qiu Yue insult His Highness like this? ”

After speaking, Chang Feng took off the horse cage cover from King Anhua's mouth.

King Anhua asked, "Who are you?" ”

Chang Feng said: "Chang Feng in the Lower East Factory." This is Zhang Dugong of Dongchang. ”

King Anhua smiled: "Zhengde Xiao'er really values me!" I sent the butcher of the former Jinyi Guard to escort me into Beijing. ”

Chang Feng said: "Yes, the emperor ordered me to serve His Highness into Beijing." I will take good care of Your Highness along the way. ”

King Anhua sneered: "Since ancient times, the king has been defeated. Isn't entering Beijing just a Ling Chi execution? I don't regret it! ”

"During the Hongwu Dynasty, everyone was a small sect. King Yan and King Qing are both kings of Yisai. Why can the Yan Wang family seize the great sect through rebellion and sit on the world. Qingwang and his family can only stay in the northwest where birds don't, eating sand and drinking wind? ”

Chang Feng stretched out his thumb: "Your Highness dares to do it, and you are a real hero!" ”

King Anhua said, "No." I'm not a hero. Qiu Yue is the real hero! I tried my best to raise an army of 60,000 thieves, but in the end I was defeated by him and a hundred servants. ”

"Qiu Yue, a famous general! It's just a trumpet's Huo Qu's disease. ”

Obviously, the king of Anhua respected his opponent very much and lost convincingly.

Chang Feng said: "According to the rules, I have to interrogate His Highness." ”

King Anhua said: "Please." ”

Chang Feng asked, "Why did Your Highness rebel?" ”

King Anhua said: "One is not used to seeing the Yan King and the family sitting on the world. Second, because the traitorous eunuch Liu Jin has a heavenly constitution in his mouth and controls the court. Messed up the ancestral system that eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics as determined by Taizu. It's bad for me Zhu Mingjiangshan. ”

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "That's not right." ”

King Anhua asked, "What's wrong?" ”

At this moment, Chang Feng and the others suddenly heard the woman's screams and the man's lewd laughter.

Chang Feng said: "Qiu Yue's gang of house slaves can fight, but they can't control the thing in the crotch. The rebellion has arrived, and they have also forcibly humiliated the royal ladies. It's just a pack of lawless wild asses. ”

"Your Highness, as far as I know, you are a man of love and righteousness. With Concubine Lin and Concubine Xu, the love is as deep as the sea. ”

"Your Highness knows the shame of Jingkang, what happened to the princess of the Song family when she fell into the hands of the Jinren?"

King Anhua frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

Chang Feng talked eloquently: "The Jin people built a Huanyi Courtyard, which is actually a military women's branch. The women of the clan were sent to the Huanyi Courtyard as prostitutes. Even Zhao Gou's mother, Empress Dowager Wei, was among them. ”

"The Jin people also sent historians into the Huanyi Courtyard and deliberately wrote the process of receiving guests from the forty-year-old Empress Dowager Wei into the history books to insult the Great Song Dynasty."

"In the history of Jin, Empress Dowager Wei received one hundred and five guests a day. Played alive by the Jin people to death. ”

King Anhua roared hysterically: "Why do you say this? ”

Chang Feng said: "According to the Ming law, the vassal king will be executed by Ling Chi if he rebels. Ah, of course, if the rebellion succeeds, that's another matter. ”

"The ladies of the vassal king's mansion are all punished as slaves and prostitutes. The imperial court is afraid that the women of His Royal Highness will be punished as slaves by the soldiers of the border army. ”

"Those wolf-like border soldiers have been on the fortress for a long time, and you should know them better than me. They're just a bunch of lepros. ”

"Concubine Lin, Concubine Xu, and more than 30 concubines and servants, what will happen to the three county lords in the future may be as tragic as the women of the Song family after Jingkang's shame."

King Anhua is not stupid, Chang Feng's words have already understood: "You want to make a deal with me?" ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Yes." Cheap is the stepsister of Empress Dowager Zhang and the stepmother of Empress Xia. She still has a bit of face in front of the emperor. ”

"I can ask her to ask the emperor to protect the ladies of the Anhua Palace. But you have to promise me one condition. ”

King Anhua said: "Don't take off your pants and fart." Say, what conditions? ”

Chang Feng said: "It's not that Liu Jin forced His Highness to rebel. It's that Liu Jin and His Royal Highness should join forces inside and outside and rebel together! ”

King Anhua was stunned: "You want to use me to frame Liu Jin?" ”

Chang Feng said: "Don't say dark words in front of the Ming. Exactly. Isn't it also your Royal Highness's wish to get rid of Liu Jin?"

"You are certain to die. Why don't you pull the person you want to kill as a cushion before you die? By the way, it can also protect the ladies of the palace. Why not? ”

King Anhua was silent. After the tea, he spoke: "Okay." As you said. Liu Jin and I should be together inside and out. ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Your Highness is worthy of the blood of Taizu, and he really knows the current affairs." Next, I will teach you the details of your collusion with Liu Jin to rebel. ”

"Please remember. When entering the Beijing Zongren Mansion and the Three Law Divisions will interrogate you, please confess as I said. ”

Two quarters of an hour later, Chang Feng and Zhang Yong walked out of the room where King Anhua was being held.

Zhang Yong sighed: "My Chang Shuai Master." Your methods are too filthy. He even took the daughters of the royal palace to blackmail the king of Anhua. ”

Chang Feng sighed: "Alas. Jin Yiwei did dirty things, and he did dirty methods, and I can't wash them in my life. ”

"Let's go to the study. Look at how Yang Laoshuai's letter is forged. ”

At this moment, Qiu Yue walked over: "Master Chang Shuai, Gonggong Zhang, have you finished trying King Anhua?" ”

Chang Feng said: "I said Qiu Shuai, you have to restrain your servants." Their movement of insulting the ladies of the palace is too big! Privately divided the money of King Anhua, and insulted other people's women, is it too much? ”

"You immediately transfer them out of the palace. This side of the palace is guarded by the Yansui soldiers we brought. ”

Qiu Yue looked apologetic: "Yes, yes, yes." This group of donkeys beats it. Blame me, the attack on the palace that night was extremely dangerous, and I almost died in my life. ”

"In order to boost morale, I promised them to conquer the palace, and the money and women were free to take it."

Chang Feng said: "Anhua is such a big city, there should be a green building, right?" This kind of thing can cost some money. It doesn't cost much. I suppose all your servants are now rich men with a few thousand taels in their pockets. ”

Qiu Yue hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." Come on, let the more than 100 donkeys of our family get out of the palace and go to Yichun Tower and Shuiyun Tower. ”

After giving the order, Qiu Yue asked Chang Feng again: "Oh yes, Chang Ye, I remember that you have a son." What official position is incumbent? ”

Chang Feng replied: "The current Shuntian Mansion Yin, what's wrong?" ”

Qiu Yue asked: "What's your last name?" ”

Chang Feng scolded with a smile: "Nonsense." Of course, my son's surname is Chang, otherwise he can still have the surname Qiu? The name is broken, and the slave who swears to break the slave. What is this, you ask? ”

Qiu Yue smiled: "Hehe, you don't care about it." A stone and a skin, a woman and a woman? Broken slave, broken slave, what a name! You two are busy, I'll go first. ”

Chang Feng and Zhang Yong entered the study and found Yang Yiqing.

In just two quarters of an hour, Yang Yiqing had already written six letters of rebellion. Not only is the handwriting vividly copied, but even the words and tone echo the character of the person who was framed.

Chang Feng carefully read a few letters and exclaimed, "My good man." Yang Laoshuai is really condescending to be a sword and pen general banner who is in charge of planting stolen letters. ”

Yang Yiqing said: "I'm ashamed." If you want to bring down the traitor, you have to be more traitorous than the traitor. I also had to do it as a last resort. ”

"Speaking of Jinyiwei, if you can successfully bring down Liu Jin this time, there is a chance that your Chang Shuai will be in charge of Jinyiwei again."

"Please treat the officials with compassion. Don't let Jinyiwei once again become a Yama temple that frames loyalty and kills people. ”

Chang Feng nodded: "This is nature." ”

Yang Yiqing used a letter to make 20 letters.

After the three of them finished lunch in the study, Qiu Yue came to them with a long list of meritorious contributions.

Qiu Yue presented the list: "Hehe, Yang Laoshuai, please forward this list to the imperial court." ”

Yang Yiqing saw at a glance that the list of meritorious services was boring. But he didn't say it, but said, "Okay." I submitted the original order. ”

He has been leading troops in the northwest for a long time, and he understands a truth: if you don't give these border generals some benefits, why should people fight for your life?

In particular, after winning a battle, it is a customary rule that there are private individuals in the list of meritorious service.

It's better to turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. If the battle is won, the court will not study it in detail.

Yang Yiqing easily gave the list of meritorious contributions to Chang Feng.

Chang Feng glanced at it and asked, "Who is this Qiu Luan?" With your surname, is it your own family? ”

Qiu Yue replied: "It's my eldest grandson." ”

Chang Feng frowned: "There are all the bottom files of the top generals above the fourth grade in the East Factory." I even looked through it before I went on the expedition. I remember that you only have sons, and you have not yet had a grandchild. ”

Qiu Yue smiled: "It's just a full moon." ”

Chang Feng was speechless: "It's really yours." The grandsons who have just completed the moon are crammed into the list. But. You deserve it. ”

Chang Feng continued to look at the list, and found Chang Ponu's name on the seventh page of the list.

Chang Feng frowned: "Why did you write my son as well." He, the Yin of Shuntianfu, is thousands of miles away, how can he make meritorious contributions to the counterinsurgency? ”

Qiu Yue pretended to say: "Ah, this is a long story. Chang Fu Yin is my old boss, your son. Just exchange messages with me if you're fine. ”

"Last year, he wrote me a letter saying that the king of Anhua was ambitious, and asked me to be careful. That's when I took precautions against King Anhua. In advance, I ordered someone to probe the high and thick walls of the Anhua Palace, and estimated where it was easy to break through."

"So, I was able to successfully attack the Anhua Mansion at night and capture the rebel king alive, thanks to Ling Lang."

"Isn't it very reasonable for his name to appear on the list of meritorious service?"

Chang Feng couldn't cry or laugh: "You kid is simply."

Yang Yiqing said: "The old enemy has good intentions, but you are disrespectful." ”

Chang Feng thought: Everyone in the world regards Po Nu and Huang Yuan as Liu Jin's henchmen. Liu Jin "participated" in the rebellion of King Anhua. If they can appear on the list of those who have contributed to counterinsurgency, it will help to clean themselves up.

Thinking of this, Chang Feng smiled and said, "Hehe, then I'm welcome." On behalf of the dog, I thank the handsome man. Oh yes, I also have a brother-in-law named Huang Yuan. The yellow of the, the yuan of Shouyuan. The current left waiter of the Ministry of Rites"

Qiu Yue patted his brain: "Hey, look at my stupid donkey brain, what kind of memory!" Why did you forget Huang Butang? ”

"Huang Butang is my old boss's brother-in-law, isn't it reasonable to have frequent correspondence with me?"

"In his letter, he reminded me that the king of Anhua has a heart of snakes and scorpions, and has always tried to do wrong. He told me to be prepared. If it weren't for his reminder, how could I have secretly trained my servants in martial arts, and how could I have succeeded in attacking the Anhua Mansion at night? ”

"Huang Butang is also a great hero of the counterinsurgency!"

Qiu Yue, the old man, is not only good at fighting, but also very good at being a man. The upper road is very.

Chang Feng added: "Chang Ponu and Huang Yuan also told you that their commitment to Liu Jin was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and they broke into the eunuch party to investigate the evidence of Liu Jin's collusion with King Anhua. Right? ”

Qiu Yue was cold: "King Anhua colluded with Liu Jin to rebel? Ah, yes, yes, yes! What Chang Shuai Ye said is really right! That's the thing! My slave nephew and brother Huang Yuan are lurking beside Liu Jin to investigate the secret stake of King Anhua's conspiracy! ”

Qiu Yue, the first hero of the counterinsurgency, testified. Chang Ponu and Huang Yuan cleared themselves, and it was easier to draw a clear line with Liu Jin.

Zhang Yong couldn't hold back on the side, and laughed: "Old enemy, if you want to talk about war, I pride myself on being on par with you." If you want to be a man, you are a hundred times stronger than me! ”

Qiu Yue's guy is a standard side general, and he can't afford to be early: "Grandpa Zhang has a good reputation." Ah by the way, when Yang Laoshuai entered the city, he said, this time I may be an uncle? ”

Yang Yiqing immediately understood: "Don't worry." I will jointly suggest to the emperor with Gonggong Zhang that you be your uncle! Leading 100 people to quell the rebellion of tens of thousands of vassal kings, and building such a miraculous feat should be shared. ”

Qiu Yue clapped his hands: "Wow! Good! I'm going to be knighted! ”

As soon as Chang Feng heard this, he almost subconsciously rounded his arm, slapped Qiu Yue's two big pockets, and scolded him again: "Beast, what did you seal." ”

But for a moment, Chang Feng dispelled this thought. The Chang family's forced family history should not be imposed on the face of Qiu Yue.

This is the benefit of winning the war. Whoever makes meritorious service will make meritorious service, and whoever participates in the rebellion will participate in the rebellion. You can also reach out to the court to ask for official positions and titles. If you make a lot of money from the enemy and play with the rebels' daughters, you will turn a blind eye to it.
