Chapter 229 Loyalty and Filial Piety Cannot Be Both(2/2)
Is this guy a Jinshi? Why does he look like a businessman in the market?
Only Zhang Zhou on the side clearly understood the fate of the Yang brothers.
Needless to say, Yang Tinghe was a illustrious hero of the Ming Dynasty, an uncrowned prime minister, and a representative figure of the Qing Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty in the future. Regardless of whether he had a bad relationship with Emperor Jiajing or not, and what his reputation was later, even if he was a powerful minister, his contribution to the Ming Dynasty cannot be denied.
.
As for Yang Tingyi...he is just a villain.
Historically, Yang Tingyi was supported by his elder brother. When Liu Jin gained power, he became an eunuch. Later, he had an affair with Qian Ning and Jiang Bin. Even so, in the late Zhengde years, he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War. However, he was accused of corruption and bribery, and at that time
Zhu Houcong, who had just ascended the throne, had checked and found out that it was indeed true. Due to Yang Tinghe Taotian's power at that time, he just asked Yang Tingyi to return to his hometown without worrying about it.
Although both brothers are officials, they have two different styles of doing things.
Yang Tinghe asked: "Eunuch Xiao, apart from asking you to send some things, does your Majesty have any other explanations?"
Yang Tinghe could see that if he just sent some condolences, why would the Lord of the East Factory come in person? Although he looked down on Zhang Zhou, but now that Zhang Zhou was a favorite among the courtiers in the palace, Zhang Zhou would not come to visit him easily.
of.
Others wanted to curry favor with Zhang Zhou, but he wanted to stay away from Zhang Zhou.
Xiao Jing said: "Can I have a private conversation with Shi Yang?"
"This..." Yang Tinghe looked at Yang Tingyi.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Brother Yang, shall we go out to talk?"
"Okay, okay." Yang Tingyi was naturally elated when he saw Zhang Zhou being so polite.
Save yourself from having to fawn over yourself.
After Zhang Tuesday walked away.
Xiao Jingcai said: "Master Yang, Your Majesty is also afraid that you will be resentful and thinks that this is His Majesty's intention to target you. In fact, this is not the case. Your Majesty listened to others' advice and learned that your Majesty's health... is not good. I hope you can go back.
I will serve you in front of my bed as soon as possible."
"What?" Yang Tinghe became nervous upon hearing this, "My mother..."
"Don't be anxious. Our family doesn't know the specific illness, and His Majesty has not sent anyone to your hometown to find out. After all... it's too far away..."
Yang Tinghe frowned when he heard this.
No one went to see me, but they actually said that my mother was seriously ill?
If there is really relevant news, shouldn't I be informed of the son first?
Xiao Jing said: "You go back for a visit. If something really happens, you can do your filial piety. It's good for your reputation as an official. If nothing happens, just go back and take a walk. When you come back, the position of Hanlin bachelor will be reserved for you. Yang Shi
It’s true that you shouldn’t worry about it.”
"yes."
Yang Tinghe was also a little confused.
In fact, he couldn't understand the emperor's intention of sending Xiao Jing here.
When the emperor suppressed him, he said he suppressed him. He also knew that he was from Liu Jian's faction. The emperor admired Wang Hao and wanted to promote Wang Hao, so he couldn't have any objection. Who said that Wang Hao was already a bachelor and he was just a lecturer?
But after the suppression was over, Xiao Jing was sent to say that all this was for your own good.
In his words, the emperor admired him very much and had the intention of drawing him back, which he couldn't understand.
Could this be regarded as giving him a stick first and then giving him a sweet date to eat, or asking him to suppress his desire first, deliberately giving him a blow to let him know which side to take?
"Eunuch Xiao, I dare to ask, how is my mother's condition?"
After all, Yang Tinghe was a filial son. He hadn't seen his mother in many years. Knowing that his mother might be ill, he was a little nervous.
Xiao Jing smiled and shook his head, meaning that he didn't know.
"Eunuch Xiao, can I ask who informed my mother of her illness?" Yang Tinghe was still very serious.
Now that he was going back to his hometown, he didn't want to be kept in the dark.
Xiao Jing deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Let's put it bluntly, your Majesty's illness was not reported to you by someone who had seen the specific situation, but by Mr. Zhang... Zhang Jinshi, who had just compiled a book for Hanlin, mentioned it to Your Majesty. He passed
After calculating the secrets and learning the situation, I am afraid that the old man will leave in a hurry and not be able to see you, so I want you two brothers to go back together..."
"What?"
Yang Tinghe thought it was a local official who reported the matter, but the emperor kindly asked him to return to his hometown to visit relatives.
But when he found out that this was just something Zhang Zhou mentioned to the emperor... he was not only surprised, but also filled with anger.
What about playing people?
You said my mother is sick, and my mother is sick? You calculated it with your fingers?
Why don't you go to heaven?
What's even worse is that the emperor asked my brother and I to go back to our hometown to visit relatives just because of this bastard's unreliable prophecy?
Did the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty still have royal laws and heavenly principles?
Xiao Jing said in surprise: "Does Shi Dao not believe Yang Shi Dao? In fact, our family was quite worried about Shi Dao Yang after hearing this. If Yang Shi Dao could go back to visit his mother when she was seriously ill, what a reputation of filial piety it would be.
, it can not only protect your reputation of loyalty and filial piety, but also make His Majesty feel at ease, we really can’t think of anything wrong with this.”
Yang Tinghe almost said angrily: "Eunuch Xiao, if it is true that the mother of the family is sick, there is nothing wrong with saying so, but..."
He didn't even know how to describe it.
Is the emperor just so partial to what he believes?
What did Zhang Zhou say and what did he believe?
"Haha." Xiao Jing smiled with some indifference, "That means that Minister Yang still doesn't believe it. But if you think about Minister Yang, Mr. Zhang has speculated on many things, and every one of them has been fulfilled one by one.
, do you mean to say that he just wants you to go back to support your parents, deliberately telling you something that does not exist, to toss you back and forth? Is serving your parents a good thing or a bad thing for Yang Shitiao?
Woolen cloth?"
Yang Tinghe turned his head to one side.
He also held back and did not say anything. He knew clearly what the purpose of that boy Zhang Zhou was.
Don't think that because that kid has no stake in this matter, he can't talk nonsense.
Wang Jizhi was his mentor. In order to help his mentor become a Hanlin scholar, what couldn't he do?
Xiao Jing sighed: "Shi Yang said he doesn't appreciate it, so that's it. Your Majesty's kindness is in vain."
"I have no doubts about Your Majesty's intentions." Yang Tinghe also quickly defended.
Do you suspect that the emperor is cheating on his ministers?
In the eyes of these orthodox civil servants, Emperor Hongzhi was considered a benevolent king and would not deliberately deceive his ministers. This can only be explained by the fact that the emperor was deceived.
In order to achieve his ulterior purpose, this boy Zhang Zhou deliberately deceived the emperor and drove me back to Sichuan so that I would not compete with Wang Jizhi for the position of Hanlin bachelor... I originally thought that this boy had done something that benefited the country and the people.
Even a close person can be considered kind, but now it seems...
He is full of evil and very evil.
Xiao Jing said: "It's fine if you don't doubt it. Then you shouldn't doubt Mr. Zhang. He has no enmity with you, so why bother you? I want to remind you that you must rush back before late April, otherwise... you will regret it too late."
!gone!"
Xiao Jing also has a temper.
You, Yang Tinghe, take yourself too seriously, don’t you?
As a minister, even if you really compete with Wang Hao, if the emperor doesn't want to use you, why should he negotiate with you?
It’s not your turn to be ranked based on seniority!
If Zhang Zhou wanted to recommend his own advisor, he would have done so long ago. We, the ceremonial supervisors and eunuchs, know very well that Zhang Zhou has not even said a word on this matter. As for you, you have to go back to your hometown to visit your relatives.
People have good intentions, but you don't appreciate it.
You really treat your kindness like a donkey's liver and lungs.
…
…
Send Zhang Zhou and Xiao Jing away.
Yang Tinghe was so angry that he almost wanted to hit the door frame with his fist.
Yang Tingyi smiled as if it had nothing to do with him and said: "Zhang Bingkuan is of the same age and has won the trust of His Majesty. He speaks highly of his brother and wants to ask you for advice."
"Do you believe this?" Yang Tinghe glared at his younger brother, "Stay away from him in the future. Whoever provokes such a near-sycophant will not be tolerated by the world. Are you ignoring your own opinions?"
"Well……"
Yang Tingyi was scolded so hard that she looked confused.
I'm still thinking in my mind, what's wrong with my brother?
Your Majesty sent someone to send you condolences, and this is your attitude? You deserve to be in the Hanlin Academy for many years!
