Yang Hong heard that his recital had been approved, and hurriedly asked, "What does the emperor say?" ”

Yang Jie shook his head: "Father, let's go to the secret room." ”

Seeing that Yang Jie was so solemn, Yang Hong had to withdraw his attendants and enter the secret room together.

After making sure that what he said would not be leaked, Yang Jie lamented to Yang Hong: "Father, our Yang family is finished, it's all over." ”

Yang Hong asked curiously, "Why did my son say this?" ”

"Hey, father, take a look for yourself, the reply drawn up by His Majesty himself, strictly ordered that not a single soldier of the Xuanfu should leave the Xuanfu defense area.

If anyone leaves the country, the whole family is to be killed immediately.

If my father led his troops to leave Xuanfu, then, then ......"

Yang Jie really couldn't go on, Yang Hong couldn't wait, so he had to open the notebook and read it himself, only to see the bright red Zhu Criticism on it, and wrote: If Yang Hong still wants to be a minister of the Ming Dynasty, you will guard the Xuanfu and wait for the important ministers of the court to come to arrest and investigate. If Yang Hong dared to lead his troops out of the Xuanfu Defense Area, he would immediately destroy Manmen, and Yang Hong's father and son would be dragged to Xishi and executed by Ling Chi.

Yang Hong held the hand of the playbook and involuntarily began to tremble. After a while, he asked suspiciously: "I am the general who guards one side, and I am in charge of the 30,000 elite soldiers and the fortified city of Xuanfu." Now that the Warat army is pressing the border, why is the emperor like this, does he really dare to touch me, and he is not afraid of chaos on the border? ”

Yang Jie sighed when he heard this: "The emperor's methods are too poisonous, and we have no way to resist if we choose this time for a showdown." Now outside the city is the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Arak Zhiyuan, and our army will not be able to leave the city.

Even if we can really defeat Ah Ra and rush out of Xuanfu, where can we go? To the east is Juyong Pass, His Majesty has issued a strict order to Luo Tong of Juyong Pass, as long as a Xuanfu soldier crosses Juyong Pass, Luo Tong will come to see him.

To the south is Datong and Bauhinia Pass, and the first army has already arrived in Datong and will arrive at Bauhinia Pass in the near future. As we head south, we'll run into the army head-on.

So we are actually surrounded, and now Your Majesty is not afraid of our rebellion at all.

Even on the contrary, His Majesty very much wants us to rebel, so that we will have a good reputation and wipe us out completely. ”

Yang Hong asked, "Is there no way to get it back?" ”

Yang Jie replied angrily: "So far, what else can be done." At the beginning, the eldest brother took the lead in abandoning the city and fleeing, but he had to give his father such a bunch of bad ideas, instigating his father to have the dream of preserving his strength and supporting the army and self-respect.

Now it's good, the emperor is completely annoyed, and my father should have listened to my advice and led a large army out of the city to kill the enemy.

Even if only a hundred Tartar heads are cut off, it is also a saying that they will be handed over to Beijing.

It has been more than two months since the invasion of Warat, and not a single head has been handed over, what do you make the emperor think.

You are openly derelict in your duties, you refuse to pretend anymore, and no one can stand it if you are the emperor. ”

Yang Hong knew that his sister-in-law had always been resourceful, so he hurriedly asked: "It's useless for you to complain now, let's talk about how to save the situation." ”

"My father and eldest brother will definitely not survive."

Yang Jie only said this sentence, and then kept silent. The rest of the meaning is to let Yang Hong and Yang Jun apologize for their crimes, and exchange Yang Jie for his own life.

Of course, Yang Jie couldn't say it himself.

Yang Hong glanced at Yang Jie deeply, quite dissatisfied with this plan. Yang Hong has two sons, and he has always preferred Yang Jun born to a favorite concubine, and now Yang Jie wants himself and Yang Jun to apologize for their crimes and leave the way of life to Yang Jie, which is strange that Yang Hong can be happy.

Yang Jie also knew that his father was unwilling to sacrifice himself, let alone sacrifice his eldest brother, but Yang Jie didn't want to die with these two fools, so he came up with another idea:

"Father, Yu Shangshu, the current military department, has been the governor of Shanxi for nineteen years, and he has a good relationship with you. And the son has no job and can move around.

Otherwise, my son will go to Beijing to visit Yu Shangshu, ask him to show you the way out of his friendship with you for so many years, and say a few more good words for our Yang family in front of His Majesty. ”

Yang Hong nodded: "For today's plan, it can only be like this." ”

"Without further ado, the son will leave at once, and ask his father to take care."

After that, Yang Jie kowtowed, and hurriedly went back to pack his things. After a short time, he took two henchmen, quickly whipped his horse, went out of the city, and went straight to Juyong Pass.

Coincidentally, Yang Mingcheng was only a few hours old when he met Huang Pu's mission.

There were 1,000 Varat cavalry, who were ordered by Ara, to escort the mission. Seeing Yang Jie and his entourage galloping, they hurriedly came over to intercept and inspect.

In the end, Huang Pu was also alarmed and came to check in person.

Yang Jie saw Huang Pu coming from a distance, and hurriedly bowed: "Huang Youcheng, it's me, I'm Yang Jie, the son of Yang Zongbing." ”

Huang Pu had seen Yang Hong and Yang Jie's father and son in Xuanfu Horse Station before, so he naturally recognized him. Seeing that it was really Yang Jie, he hurriedly signaled the Wara cavalry to let him go.

Yang Jie walked up to Huang Pu and thanked him again and again.

Huang Pu smiled and asked, "Where is Yang Gongzi going?" ”

Yang Jie knew that Huang Pu was a close minister of the newly rising Son of Heaven, and he would deceive Huang Pu sooner or later. So he poured beans into a bamboo tube and told Huang Pu about the matter as it was.

After listening to this, Huang Pu didn't say anything, but just invited Yang Jie to go with the mission, and he had a good idea along the way.

Three days later, the mission arrived in the capital, and after Yang Jie thanked him repeatedly, he separated from Huang Pu and ran to Yuqian's mansion.

And Huang Pu ignored the fatigue of the journey and went straight to the palace of the king of Qi to give an account to the emperor.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu had just finished meeting the generals of Tiancewei in the West Flower Hall, and was crooked on the soft couch, chatting with He Yi, Ye Sheng, Yao Xian and others.

As soon as Huang Pu came in, he was about to salute, but Zhu Qiyu hurriedly stopped and put the person on the couch: "Aiqing has worked this trip, come, come to the couch and drink a cup of hot tea." ”

Huang Pu got on the couch, drank a cup of tea, and told what he had seen and heard on this trip.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and asked, "What did Boyan Timur say, are you willing to cooperate with me?" ”

Huang Pu shook his head: "Boyan Timur's heart is towards the Ming Dynasty and he is willing to accept the title of King Zhong, but he is obviously more inclined to the Emperor Taishang, and he wants to help the Emperor Taishang return to Beijing to restore the throne." ”

Zhu Qiyu didn't care, and asked Ye Sheng and Yao Xian with a smile: "Boyan Timur wants to help the emperor restore the throne, what do you think of the two Aiqing?" ”

Ye Sheng and Yao Xian glanced at each other, and neither of them wanted to speak first. Both of them are anti-Yang Hong, and both hate the Shanxi soldiers and officials for bullying the monarch and misleading the country, but both of them are sympathetic to the emperor's experience, and they also agree with Zhu Qizhen in their hearts.

But you can't directly say in front of the new monarch that you should ask the emperor to restore the throne. So the two were in a dilemma and were very entangled.

Zhu Qiyu sighed, shook his head helplessly, and selected seven Zhongshu people by drilling holes in the mountains: He Yi, Huang Pu, Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong, Ye Sheng, Yao Xian, and Lian Gang.

It's a pity that although these seven people are all talents, only He Yi, Huang Pu, and Lian Gang are willing to follow Xinjun clearly, and the remaining four are all biased towards the emperor.
