Yu Qian saw that Yang Hong was still stubborn, so he had to tell the truth: "The emperor has already negotiated with your eldest son Yang Jie, as long as you and Yang Jun cut themselves, the emperor can crown Yang Jie as Yingyang Bo, and let your family's title continue to be passed on."

Brother Zongdao, listen to my advice, the emperor has made up his mind to kill, and it is impossible to stop no matter what.

Instead of irritating the emperor like this, it is better to leave a way for his son to live. And if you choose to be decent, the emperor can reduce your crime of treason to delay the military plane, abandon the land and lose the land, and the family property will be over, at least Yang Jie can live well. ”

Yang Hong didn't want to commit suicide, so he retorted loudly: "I didn't rebel, how can the emperor be charged with peace?" ”

Yu Qian couldn't listen to these words anymore: "You didn't rebel, what about the head?" Pose the head out for me. The imperial court appointed you as the chief soldier of Xuanfu, commanding 30,000 elite soldiers to guard the border towns.

As a result, both the emperor and the new monarch will command you not to move. For three whole months, you didn't cut off a head, but instead supported the army and respected yourself, treating the king's life as nothing, and the festival envoys of the Tang Dynasty were not as straightforward as you, this is not called rebellion, so how can it be called rebellion? ”

Yang Hong was about to say more, but Yu Qian waved his hand and interrupted: "I am now the governor of Shanxi, and I can mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Shanxi." Before coming, the emperor also gave Shang Fang a sword, and the pardon clearly stipulated that if the war required it, even the general soldiers could be killed on the spot.

If Brother Zongdao is like this endlessly, and he would rather die than fight, then I can only do business, and don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings when the time comes. ”

When Yang Hong heard this, he had to ask helplessly: "Then we are fighting now, is it too late?" ”

Yu Qian shook his head: "I don't know, now the entire Gyeonggi and Shanxi are held in Xinjun's hands, and they are playing around." In fact, the entire direction of the war has been designed, but only the emperor himself and a few henchmen know what will happen next. ”

Yang Hong saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he had to retreat and go back to find another way.

……

The next morning, Zhu Qiyu got up easily, for fear that something would happen, so he hurriedly ate and hid in the West Flower Hall.

Now it's not safe outside the house, and the backyard is not comfortable, so there is still a little room for the front yard. Zhu Qiyu entered the West Flower Hall, crooked on the soft couch, and then looked around, and saw that there were only Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong, Ye Sheng, and Yao Xian, so he had to call Ye Sheng over to chat.

If the current Zhu Qiyu is really helpless and boring, there is not a single cronie around him who can talk about confidential and important matters: He Yi and Huang Pu were sent to the city to counsel the military affairs, and Lian Gang was busy writing articles every day to promote the glorious deeds of the Emperor Taishang.

Other close military generals and nobles were also in the barracks, and even the eunuchs who were confidants were sent out to the city.

Looking at Ye Sheng in front of him again, his professional level is definitely enough, but he is unwilling to be loyal to the new monarch, and he thinks about his emperor every day, which is really helpless.

But Zhu Qiyu had to pull Ye Sheng to chat to pass the time.

As soon as Ye Sheng sat down on the couch, he heard Xinjun ask: "With Zhong, how many marquis have you been awarded during the reign of Emperor Taishang?" ”

Ye Sheng replied: "Your Majesty, during the orthodox years, Emperor Taishang was crowned a marquis, that is, Jiang Gui, Marquis of Dingxi.

In addition, Renzong was awarded one marquis, and Xuanzong was awarded two marquises. Since Taizu and Taizong, the next three generations of kings have been very cautious about the gifts of marquis, and they will not give marquis easily. ”

"Then what if after the end of this battle to defend the Jingshi, I want to make a great meritorious hero?"

As soon as Ye Sheng heard this, he boldly asked, "Dare to ask how many people Your Majesty wants to seal?" ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "The prince has two, and the marquis has at least five or six, as for the earl, it depends on the merit of the generals, and I don't know how many there are now." ”

Ye Sheng gasped after hearing this, Emperor Taishang reigned for fourteen years, and only after he was named a marquis, but not a duke. The first year of Jingtai has not yet begun, and the new monarch is going to seal so many high titles, isn't this to create a new noble group.

Because Ye Sheng is by the emperor's side every day, he can clearly feel that the speed at which the new monarch is grasping power is getting faster and faster: from the beginning of crying and mourning every day, there is no nobles to deal with, and now they have begun to form a group of meritorious heroes, in just two months, it is a world of difference.

Among them, the most hateful is Xu Heng, the Marquis of Xing'an, and it is from the beginning of this famous general who guards Shaanxi that he fully supports the new monarch, and the momentum of the new monarch has become unstoppable.

Zhu Qiyu saw that Ye Sheng was in shock, and he didn't answer, so he continued to ask: "Didn't Dingxi Marquis Jiang Gui just disappear this year, who is their family now, why haven't I seen anyone?" ”

Ye Sheng settled down, and then replied: "Your Majesty, no one from the Dingxi Hou family has yet attacked the lord." Jiang Yi, the son of the Marquis of Dingxi, was inconvenient to attack the lord because of his physical illness, so his family was still entangled, and some people tended to let Jiang Yi's son Jiang Wan take the title on behalf of his father. ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he sighed heavily, and the four commanders of the Ming Dynasty who had commanded an army of 100,000 troops: British Gong Zhang Fu, Dingxi Hou Jiang Gui, Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, and Ningyang Hou Chen Mao. Two have died in a year this year, and the remaining two are the hardcore of the emperor, and it is really difficult to do it as the emperor himself.

After being stunned for a long time, Zhu Qiyu had to order: "Wait for the Jiang family's notebook to come up, show it to me as soon as possible." In addition, is there any other family whose title has not yet been decided? ”

When Ye Sheng heard this, he refused to answer openly.

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a while and then understood, and he didn't dare to continue entanglement, so he quickly changed the topic.

The two chatted for a while, and the guards came to tell the ministers, and Zhu Qiyu was busy announcing it.

Since sending Wang Zhi and Yu Qian to Shanxi, Zhu Qiyu feels much less pressure.

Now the two officials are still in the book, and one of the officials is not in the capital, and Zhao Xin, the right waiter of the ministry, is already dying, no matter who he is, he has no spirit to fight against the new monarch anyway.

In the same situation in the Ministry of War, two Shangshu of the Ministry of War and a left attendant of the Ministry of War are leading troops outside, and the person in charge is Jiang Yuan, the right attendant of the Ministry of War. Jiang Yuan was promoted by Zhu Qiyu himself, and he was young, and he was the most addicted to officials, and he would not be idle enough to go against Xinjun and destroy his future.

Although Jiang Yuan is only three years younger than Yu Qian, he is almost thirty years old and has less qualifications, especially since he has never worked in the military department before, so he is not as interested in the military power of the Beijing camp as Yu Qian.

Look at Zhao Xin, look at Jiang Yuan, and then look at his cronies Chen Xun and Wang Wen, Zhu Qiyu feels that it is too much to be happy, and now he has made an edict, as long as it is not too outrageous and not too ridiculous, he can basically pass.

This is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as a dynasty with a degree of centralization second only to my Qing Dynasty, the emperor should be able to make a decision.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu asked Zhao Xin: "Jiang Aiqing, I said a while ago that I would recruit strong men in the capital and fight at night first. How's the bounty on the heads of the people who won't be collected at night, how are you doing? ”
