As expected, Yang Tingyi was acquitted, and was carried by Jin Yiwei in a carriage back to Yang Tingyi's residence in the capital.
After Yang Shen heard about this, he hurriedly went to see Yang Tingyi and asked his uncle about his situation in Fusi, Beizhen. He then took him to his own home to meet his father Yang Tinghe.
Inside the Yang family room.
"...They didn't make things difficult for me. They just locked me in a room and provided me with three meals a day. The only disadvantage was that I couldn't go out all day. I was full of anxiety. I didn't know if I would have a chance to come out to meet my brother."
After Yang Tingyi saw Yang Tinghe, she almost cried with excitement.
Yang Tinghe looked at his younger brother carefully, his dissatisfaction was palpable. He probably wanted to say, why did he do it in the first place if he had known it would happen today?
Do you know that you are making things difficult for me because of an incompetent guy like you?
"Why are you so cowardly? Show your past courage and don't embarrass me, the Yang family! Do you want to let the juniors see your ugly appearance?"
Yang Tinghe scolded his younger brother.
Although Yang Shen is not in the room at the moment, he is still waiting outside the room. If his brother is really excited to cry or continues to complain, the son outside will hear it.
Yang Tingyi's tone was full of complaints: "Brother, you have to let me return to the court, otherwise... I wouldn't be in such a situation!"
Yang Tinghe couldn't help but get angry after hearing this.
You are responsible for all the corruption and perversion of the law. First you relied on Liu Jin, and then you took refuge in the court lady Qian Ren. You are in an important position but do not serve the public. You only think about how to make money. Now it is obvious that because of my face, Jin Yiwei is not in trouble.
You, when you came back, you first blamed me for letting you go out, which led to what happened to you today?
Dog bites Lu Dongbin!
"So, you are not going to accept the errand of Admiral Yizhou Shanchang?"
Yang Tinghe asked with a cold expression.
Yang Tingyi sighed softly: "As a younger brother, I don't dare to embarrass you, brother. Although Jinyiwei will not pursue this matter, I am afraid that evidence has been obtained. Even if I am under strict supervision, I still know that there are people who continue to go to Jinyiwei to report and expose.
.I would like to thank my brother for his protection in advance... From now on, my brother will never ask about court affairs again!"
Yang Tinghe wanted to scold his brother for being cowardly and incompetent.
You are so frightened by the little emperor that you don't even dare to become an official? Fortunately, I am still thinking hard about getting you to return to the court and continue to help me fight against the little emperor.
"Go back and rest!"
Yang Tinghe waved his hand, his tone a little impatient.
Yang Tingyi bowed and saluted: "Brother, I came to see you this time to ask for my resignation. I will leave for Sichuan in the near future and will not leave Shu again. If I have anything to say to my family...brother, please tell me as soon as possible."
Yang Tinghe was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He didn't bother to talk to his brother and just drove him away.
…
…
Yang Tingyi went home to recuperate from his injuries, but he was heartbroken because Yang Tingyi felt that he had been harmed by his elder brother's power, and became a victim of the struggle between the emperor and the civil servant faction.
Yang Shen sent his uncle out of the palace for his father. When he came back, he asked, "I wonder if my uncle still agrees to return to the court to serve?"
"What else did he come back for?"
Yang Tinghe was quite annoyed, "If I had known that he was so incompetent, I would not have made any arrangements for him to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Really... How could my Yang family produce such an unworthy person?"
The eldest brother is a father, and Yang Tinghe's words are full of derogatory remarks about Yang Tingyi.
Yang Shen said: "Father, are the accusations made by the court against my uncle just based on rumors? Or are they true?"
"What do you think?"
Yang Tinghe stared at his son.
You really don’t want to open any pot.
Yang Shen said helplessly: "Earlier, I thought that my uncle was upright and upright, and the criticisms against him from outside were all based on lies. But after listening to the rumors outside these days, I realized that his reputation was so bad. It seems that my father has been bad from the beginning.
He should not be used again, this is clearly a discredit to my father and the Yang family."
Yang Tinghe had just taught his brother a lesson, but now his son said some weird words in front of him, and he suddenly became angry.
With a frown, Yang Tinghe scolded: "The affairs in this court are not black and white. Yong Xiu, do you think things are so one-sided?"
Yang Shen didn't answer.
Yang Shen is indeed not like Yang Tinghe, who can serve his own purpose and doesn't even care about his younger brother Yang Tingyi's personal stains.
To put it bluntly, Yang Shen still has some idealism at this age and cannot do everything in line with political interests.
Still want face.
But when it comes to Yang Tinghe's job, face or anything else doesn't matter anymore, just achieve the goal.
When it comes to saving face, it seems that Yang Tingyi is very similar to his nephew.
Yang Tingyi was obviously very greedy for power, but after being pardoned by the emperor, he still felt that it was shameless to stay in the court, so he simply ignored Yang Tinghe's arrangements and returned to his hometown to live a stable life. Anyway, there was a lot of corruption in the past few years, which is enough to ensure that his descendants will survive for a long time.
Live a worry-free life.
"In the past few years, you have not been serving in the court, or you have many things you don't understand... It is also because my father has not been able to help you fight for it before. You have been a Jinshi for a long time, but you have been outside the court for a long time, and you have a serious lack of experience in governance.
, you will have to learn more from others in Hanyuan from now on... You are tired of being a father, so please step aside!"
Yang Tinghe didn't know how to educate his son.
Think about it.
Maybe it was because he wanted his son to avoid "disaster". When he knew that the court was controlled by a foolhardy emperor and a bunch of sycophants, he asked Yang Shen to stay away from court disputes and return to Shu to avoid disaster. So last year, Yang Shen
After returning to the DPRK, many political thinking could not keep up with his pace.
Yang Tinghe had some "regrets", but who knew that Emperor Zhengde would suddenly die in his prime? Who knew that now he would have to fight secretly with the adopted emperor from Xiaozong as the chief minister?
Now Yang Tinghe feels a kind of frustration of "no one around him".
Although there are many talented people in his party, after all, those people are separated from him. The only ones he can count on are his younger brother and son who were born in Jinshi, but they are of no use at this time.
…
…
Yang Tinghe obviously sacrificed something for his younger brother Yang Tingyi.
The biggest concession lies in the easing of prison matters, no longer being too harsh on officials who are close to Wang Qiong, Ning Wang, Jiang Bin, etc., and not using them as a sharp edge in partisan struggles.
However, although the loss caused by this sacrifice is long-term, it is not intuitive. The most realistic sacrifice is actually having to agree to promote the knighthood of Cui Yuan, Jiang Lun and Shao Xi.
Mid May.
Cui Yuan was officially granted the title of Marquis of Jingshan, Jiang Lun was granted the title of Yutian Bo, and Shao Xi was granted the title of Changhua Bo.
After the imperial edict was issued, Jiang Lun instantly felt like he had stood up. He wanted to tell everyone he met that he was the earl of the Ming Dynasty, and he was considered an official member of the foreign relatives party.
Because Tang Yin brought a group of craftsmen to Xishan, Jiang Lun failed to find a best friend to share his inner joy. He wanted to drag Lu Song out for a drink, but Lu Song refused because Lu Song was also very busy recently.
Jiang Lun went to invite Zhu Hao, but Zhu Hao refused.
In the end, he couldn't find anyone, so Jiang Lun went to "celebrate" with the Zhang brothers.
Although the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were usually arrogant and domineering, they took special care of Jiang Lun. Zhu Hao did not understand this. It might be because of his intervention that Jiang Lun had an affair with the Zhang brothers before he was knighted.
After many contacts, the relationship between the two relatives was extremely harmonious.
You must know that in history, after Jiang Lun was granted the title of Yutian Bo, he had a fierce conflict with the Zhang family, and the two sides engaged in a large-scale fire merger.
Because Jiang Lun was the only younger brother of Empress Dowager Jiang, although he was adopted, the old lady took special care of this younger brother. On top of the land she had been granted by the Queen Mother, she added an additional 600 hectares of land... The land granted to her at one time was more than 1,000 hectares.
One thousand three hundred hectares.
In terms of salary, it is more than double that of Shao Xi.
With these fields, Jiang Lun finally no longer had to worry about doing business for himself, he could just be his landlord.
Most of the fields granted by the imperial court were allocated from the original Huangzhuang. The retention of the Huangzhuang fields actually provided Zhu Si with a basis for winning people's hearts. This was probably the best legacy left to Zhu Houzhao by Zhu Houzhao.
…
…
Jiang Lun was granted the title of Uncle Yutian, and for a while he couldn't help Zhu Hao. He was busy taking over his own mansion, completing the decoration and adding servants.
Zhu Si came to see Zhu Hao that day because he actually wanted to have a "tryst" with Gong Yeling.
As far as Zhu Hao knows, Zhu Si already has a "relationship" with Gong Yeling. However, because he has not yet got married, he cannot openly bring Gong Yeling to the palace from the private sector.
Finally, he found an excuse to pick up Gong Yeling. From then on, he would "double stay and live in both places", and Gong Yeling would also have his own
of status.
For Gong Yeling... this is actually a kind of relief.
Anyway, I never had the chance to get married before, but now I don’t have to get married. I was directly taken into the palace by the emperor. At the age of twenty-five, I want to be a concubine to the little emperor who is nearly ten years younger than me!?
Life is finally complete!
"Zhu Hao, this is the memorial that the new Minister of Punishment gave me on his way to Beijing... Look, are all the things he said humanly?"
Zhu Si came to see Zhu Hao, of course, not to "thank the matchmaker", but for business.
The memorial that Zhu Si threw to Zhu Hao came from Shang Linjun of the Ministry of Justice, who was forcibly promoted to the position by the civil service group. After passing through Jining, this person sent a copy of the memorial to Zhu Si and actually used a large gift to discuss the matter.
"...There are inevitable feelings in the world, and there are inexorable rites. Children are required to serve their parents for three years, regardless of whether they are high or low. If a son becomes an heir, and a daughter becomes a wife, then the birth date will be limited. As for the heir's income, it will be given as a gift.
After all the titles were transferred, those who came behind were unable to catch up, and those who were born were controlled by rituals. Therefore, Sima Guang said that from the Qin and Han Dynasties, from the side branches to inherit the great system, and to praise and respect those who were born, they all ridiculed the time and made future generations laugh. How could your majesty bear it?
Attack it?"
What Lin Jun means is that everything you get was passed down to you by Emperor Xiaozong. If you respect your biological father and mother, you will be laughed at! How can you bear to do this?
Zhu Si was furious when Zhu Hao was carefully watching Lin Jun's performance. Of course, he was angry in front of Zhu Hao on purpose: "I finally know why you said he is a member of the Yang family. I also feel that this person is stubborn and will be a disaster sooner or later."
, Zhu Hao, how about you help me find a way to get him away! I have never seen such a shameless person!"
"Why are you so angry? I enabled him, but he actually laughed at me!? Is there such a shameless person in the world?" Zhu Si was still angry.
Zhu Hao put down Lin Jun's memorial and said helplessly: "Let him go. If you replace this person, wouldn't you replace him with someone who is not a toy? It is precisely because he has resentment in his heart.
I felt that Your Majesty had ruined his noble ambition, so I started to persuade him with words. If His Majesty couldn't stand it, when he gets to the capital... I'm afraid it will get worse!"
