Among the people who appeared at Prince Qin's Mansion today, half were people who had already taken refuge in Yang Ming, and the other half were people who saw the momentum and planned to take refuge in Yang Ming.
It can also be said that anyone who enters the door of Prince Qin's Mansion today is supporting Yang Ming's rise to power.
But there were too many people, and some things were really inconvenient to discuss, and Yang Ming didn't want to discuss with so many elders in private for too long, lest his father think he was forming a clique.
So at noon, everyone dispersed. Gao Xi, Pei Ju and others wanted to stay and discuss secret matters with Yang Ming, but Yang Ming did not agree.
It's not appropriate today, at least let's talk about it after today.
After all, there were so many carriages gathered outside the palace, and they were all high-ranking officials. Yang Ming didn't want to be too public. The Yushitai must have reported the matter to his father, so he had to go to the palace this afternoon.
On the way into the palace, Yang Ming was in a very bad mood because Li Yuan was released and went to Jinyang.
Pei Shuying also told him the whole process. The second brother killed his son. In order to make up for it, Yang Guang made Jiancheng Xiangcheng the governor. As for Li Yuan's trip to Jinyang, Pei Ju guessed that the second brother had fallen into Li Yuan's trap and borrowed Yang Guang's help.
The money is used to achieve the purpose of spreading it out, so as to facilitate the change of identity and to enter the center in the future.
Yang Ming was speechless. He never expected that Li Yuan would go to Jinyang in this way.
Second brother, second child, what the hell did you do?
Yang Ming also felt that Pei Ju's analysis was correct. Li Yuan was anxious to leave because he was not willing to be just a general of the Imperial Guard. He wanted to enter the central organization and participate in state affairs.
The province of family affairs, the province of ministers, and the province of internal history are basically the ultimate goal of a wealthy family. They will never think of rebelling and becoming emperor now, because the right time, place, and people are not available.
Among them, the Shangshu Province has the greatest power, and the responsibilities it is responsible for are also the top priority of the dynasty, so Li Yuan most likely wants to join the Shangshu Province.
So what Yang Ming has to do is to find a way to get Li Yuan back as soon as possible. You can enter Shangshu Province, no problem, but you can't go to Jinyang.
It is completely reasonable for him to help Li Yuan return to Beijing to take up a post. After all, I married your daughter.
After entering the palace, Yang Ming first went to Yong'an Palace to pay his respects to his mother.
Empress Xiao would definitely not hide anything from her son, so she told everything about instigating Yang Xian to deal with Wang Yu.
Yang Ming nodded and said: "Second brother's attack is a bit harsh, but he will kill me. As long as I can make my mother feel like this, I will do anything."
He had to follow Queen Xiao's wishes. As a son, he couldn't say that Wang Yu shouldn't be killed, right? Queen Xiao didn't like to hear such words.
Empress Xiao said helplessly: "Jie'er acted so erratically that he implicated Li Yuan's son. Until now, he has not found out that Li Xuandao. As your younger brother, do him a favor so that he will not fall into the trap of Li Yuan."
In my hands, I may blackmail your second brother from now on."
Yang Ming nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mom, I will find a way to find this person."
In fact, Yang Ming felt that Empress Xiao could rest assured that Li Yuan would never dare to blackmail him again, otherwise Yang Guang would be the first to kill him.
And this Li Xuandao must be in the hands of Li Yuan right now. Li Yuan is holding this person because he is worried that Yang Jian will retaliate against him. After all, this time Yang Jian suffered a heavy bleeding, more than two million guan.
Yang Guang learned about Yang Ming's visit to Yong'an Palace from his chamberlain, so he sent Gao Ye over and called Yang Ming away.
In the study, Yang Guang was looking down at the memorials accumulated over the past year by the provincial governors of the capital.
There is a reason why people stopped going to court for three days, because Yang Guang first wanted to know what he knew.
After Yang Ming came in, Yang Guang pointed to a seat aside, motioned for his son to sit down, and stopped talking.
Yang Ming didn't speak either, and the father and son just remained silent.
Until Yang Guang got tired of watching and asked Takano to bring him two cups of tea.
"What do you think about the incident at Goldman Sachs?" Yang Guang took a sip of tea, raised his head and asked.
Yang Ming also didn't expect that his father's first words were actually about Goldman Sachs, so he thought about it and said:
"Gao Shengdao privately granted acres of land and opened official warehouses privately, but he was forced by the situation and had no choice. I thought that a few words of admonishment would be enough."
Yang Guang smiled and said: "Everything needs a reason. If you want to excuse Goldman Sachs, you must have a reasonable reason."
Yang Ming nodded and said: "First of all, Bohai County is the place where the bandit leader Gao Yingnian was executed. It is also the place where our army and the rebels won the decisive battle. After several battles, the local losses were not small. Gao Sheng Road is the place where Bohai
It is the prefect's duty to pacify the place. Although he violated the law, the effect was good, and Bohai was indeed pacified by him. As for supporting the rebels, it was an unfounded slander, so I thought he should not be punished."
"What you said are all high-sounding words," Yang Guang couldn't help but laugh: "These words are used to say to others, but not to me. Think about it again."
What? Isn’t my reason enough? After thinking for a while, Yang Ming still shook his head helplessly:
"I can't think of any other reason."
Yang Guang smiled and said: "You can imagine it, but you don't want to say it, or you don't think it should be the reason."
As he spoke, Yang Guang rubbed his sore eyes and said, "Just because Gao Shengdao is Gao Xi's son, this is the most real reason."
Yang Ming frowned and said, "My son, I definitely never thought about it that way."
"Then you must think like this from now on," Yang Guang took out a memorial, threw it to his son from a distance, and said, "Read it for yourself first."
This memorial is a lawsuit against Gao Shengdao. It was filed by local officials arranged by the Yushitai. However, it only talks about Gao Shengdao's private grant of land and private opening of official warehouses. There is no mention of Gao Shengdao and the thieves.
It has something to do with the year when the first person is tallest.
However, when the Ministry of Punishment arrested people, it was clearly recorded that Goldman Sachs had some connections with the rebels.
How is this going?
Yang Ming looked at his father in astonishment.
Yang Guang smiled and said: "I added it to him for colluding with the rebels. Do you know why?"
Yang Ming was shocked: "Father is planning to kill Gao Shengdao."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Stupid!" Yang Guang said with a smile: "I want to kill him, do I need to do this?"
That's true. Yang Ming asked doubtfully: "What does the father mean?"
Yang Guang said slowly: "Remember, you have to leave yourself a choice in everything you do. I added this to him so that I can kill him anytime, anywhere. It is also this, I can kill Gao Xi anytime, anywhere."
"This is a sword hanging over Gao Xi's head. When it falls, it's up to me alone."
Damn, are the feelings for Gao Xi? Yang Ming asked curiously: "So, my father is planning to let Gao Shengdao go this time?"
Yang Guang still shook his head: "I won't let him go, but you can let him go."
Yang Ming still doesn't understand. What you said is a bit too profound.
Seeing his son's confused look, Yang Guang explained:
"Gao Xi is of no use to me anymore. He won't really serve me, but he seems to value you, so I'll leave this person to you. If I want to kill his son, you can help me excuse him.
Can I owe you a favor?"
Yang Ming suddenly realized that there was no need to go to such trouble, right? Gao Xi should be sincere to him now.
Yang Guang seemed to see his son's thoughts and continued:
"Don't trust anyone. Remember, after you enter the East Palace, you will be alone. Your blood relatives will not expect you to be well. Do you still expect others to wish you well?"
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "My son has learned a lesson."
"You still have a lot to learn," Yang Guang suddenly emphasized: "Don't think that with so many people surrounding you and supporting you, you will be arrogant. These people can praise you today and deal with you tomorrow. How can they
What you have to do is to make these people behave honestly and behave themselves."
Yang Ming let out a long breath and nodded. His father was teaching him a lesson.
"Back to the topic," Yang Guang continued: "If Gao Shengdao is not Gao Xi's son, do you think he should be killed?"
"For love, you shouldn't kill, but for law, you must kill," Yang Ming said.
Yang Guang frowned and said: "If we talk about reason, why do we need laws?"
Yang Ming said in confusion: "What Gao Shengdao did has appeased the people and won their hearts and minds. This is reasonable and the people's hearts and minds should always be taken into consideration, right?"
"Don't worry about people's hearts. People's hearts can be guided," Yang Guang said:
"That's why I gave him a reason to kill him both emotionally and rationally, that is, for colluding with the rebels. You must do the same thing in the future. When you employ people, you must first hang a sword over their heads.
It can be called shackles, and it would be terrible for a person to lose his shackles."
Understand, this is why many officials will take the initiative to expose their shortcomings, because the emperor dare not use people without shortcomings.
The emperor is plotting against his ministers, and the ministers are plotting against the emperor.
Yang Su was greedy for money and lustful, and he did it for the emperor to see; he was aloof, widowed, and unkind, and he did it for the emperor to see.
Then people who seem to have no shortcomings will be eliminated.
Yang Guang continued: "The first rule of employing people is whether you can control them. Some people can't be controlled at the moment. It doesn't matter. Kick them out and let them reflect. If they are still not sober when they come back, let them get out. If
If you learn well, it is worth using. This is the reason for Yang Susuwei's ups and downs. It is also the reason why Gao Xi is still alive and standing in the court."
"My son has learned a lesson," Yang Ming has really learned a lesson. Emperor's power is definitely not as simple as he imagined. If you don't want to be an emperor, you really don't know how difficult it is to be an emperor.
Let alone being a wise king, it is not easy to be a faint king.
Yang Guang picked up a memorial, opened it and read:
"If you don't want to become the King of Fangling, you'd better remember what I told you today and think about it carefully. Okay, go to your mother's place for dinner tonight and tell her that I won't go there tonight.
Already."
I understand, you used Yang Yong to imply to me that it is like a sword hanging over my head, which means that if I don't listen to you, you can destroy me at any time.
Damn it, the emperor is really alone. You only have two sons together, so you are planning on it.
Yang Ming stood up and said: "I will never forget my father's teachings. I will retire."
