Seven hundred and twentieth chapters two big traps
Yang Tinghe's words really worked.
Zhu Si did not argue anymore and silently accepted the result.
When the courtiers dispersed and left the Fengtian Hall, Lin Jun, the Minister of Punishment, came over and said with admiration: "You are still in the middle hall, and your Majesty must listen to what you say."
Yang Tinghe said nothing about this.
Because Yang Tinghe was on night duty that day, he had to go out of the palace to rest, and would not go to the cabinet for duty until later in the afternoon.
Mao Ji hurriedly followed over, wanting to ask Yang Tinghe what he thought of the emperor's words in the court, so that he could help Yang Tinghe convey his meaning to the civil servants, so that everyone in the party would know what he said.
"Jiefu, you seem a little worried about this matter?" Mao Ji could tell. Yang Tinghe was not happy because Zhu Si adopted his opinion.
Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty's previous words were clearly intended to tie me to the northwest military affairs and force me to come out and express my position... Others didn't understand, don't you understand?"
After Yang Tinghe said this, Mao Jicai reacted.
Originally, Mao Ji thought Yang Tinghe was in a mood because he had some rift with the emperor, or because the emperor had a tough attitude that day.
Only now do I know that what Yang Tinghe was worried about was that the emperor used a trick to tightly bind him to the military and political affairs of the northwest.
Mao Jidao: "Although the war situation in the northwest is tense now, there are no signs of deterioration. Jiefu should not be worried."
"Then if something really goes wrong, will I be damned?"
Yang Tinghe said coldly.
Mao Ji didn't know what to say.
Since Zang Feng was replaced by Chen Jiuchou in the northwest, Yang Tinghe has actually been firmly bound to the northwest military affairs. Mao Ji also probably understood why Yang Tinghe knew that the little emperor was provoking him, but still came forward to guarantee the northwest military affairs.
Not for anything else, just because Yang Tinghe knew that even if he didn't speak out, any deviation in the northwest would have to do with Yang Tinghe's ability to make decisions.
Since you know you can't escape, then bind yourself deeply instead of trying to escape, otherwise you won't be human inside and out.

Yang Feihe returned to the cabinet Hengli only after the dispute with Qibei was late.
Yang Tinghe was resting at his residence that day and did not communicate with the outside world. He did not want Mao Ji to bring a message to Yang Tinghe: "...it is said that Mr. Zhang, the chief minister of etiquette, visited Liu Renzhong's residence three days ago and paid a private visit.
"
"What did you say?"
Yang Tinghe's mood suddenly rose, and his anger was rising.
Mao Jidao: "It was people from Liu Renzhong's family who told the outside world... Liu Renzhong entered the cabinet today, and people from Liu's family were bragging about it, so the news came out."
Liu Chun was not originally the focus of the power struggle, and not many people paid attention to him. Mao Ji said that the news came from Liu Chun's servants, but in fact, in Yang Tinghe's view, it was also possible that Mao Ji secretly sent someone to bribe him.
I contacted people in Liu Chun's house to get some information.
It's like paying off the informant, and now the informant has sent back useful information.
Yang Tinghe looked grim and said: "In other words, your Majesty's intention from the beginning was to let Liu Renzhong join the cabinet, not..."
Again, only half of what was said.
In fact, even if he didn't say it, Mao Ji could see that the reason why Yang Tinghe compromised on Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet was to block Yang Yiqing's return to the court.
Now it seems that he has fallen right into the little emperor's trap.
Got plotted again?!
Reminiscent of the fact that the young emperor was in the court this morning and deliberately used words to provoke him, asking him to provide a "guarantee" for the military affairs in the northwest, so as to prevent the young emperor from asking the governor of Neisan Pass to take charge of the military affairs of the Xuanfu.
All kinds of actions were taken against him, Yang Tinghe.
How could Yang Tinghe not be furious?
Mao Ji sighed: "Why don't we wait until Renzhong arrives tomorrow and ask him alone?"
Yang Tinghe's face was full of gloom. Now that the incident had been spread, it seemed that it was not groundless. When he thought about the whole incident carefully, it seemed that
The method used by the emperor was not clever. He just secretly sent someone to meet with Yang Yiqing, which made people in the capital panic and made Yang Tinghe unable to advance or retreat. He actually compromised and agreed to let Liu Chun join the cabinet?
The matter of Liu Chun joining the cabinet seems to have nothing to do with the overall situation. Even if Liu Chun joins the cabinet, it will not affect his decision-making power of Yang Tinghe.
But Liu Chun was not a member of Yang Tinghe's faction. He was the one who the young emperor urged to join the cabinet. Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet was a slap in the face to everyone in Yang Tinghe's faction, making it obvious that the people who followed you, Yang Tinghe, An Qian and Ma Hou,
For example, Shi Yun and Feng Xi, instead of being able to get your help at critical moments, they will be tricked by you? Would you rather let Liu Chun, who was recommended by the young emperor, join the cabinet, rather than help people from your own faction operate?
Then who will work for you Yang Tinghe in the future?
"Why didn't I think of that?"
Yang Tinghe felt very annoyed.
The little emperor's goal was not to let Yang Yiqing join the cabinet at all, but to use the election of Liu Chun to the cabinet to damage Yang Tinghe's reputation in the court!
This kid’s scheme!
It’s simply sinister and vicious!
Mao Jidao: "Jiefu, why are you like this? Renzhong is also a Hanlin scholar after all. He... doesn't seem to have done anything inappropriate, right?"
Although Mao Ji also saw that this incident had a great impact on Yang Tinghe's reputation, he still couldn't say some things directly to save his face. Instead, he wanted to persuade Yang Tinghe to be more open-minded. After all, Liu Chun was also expected to join the cabinet.
It's in accordance with court rules.
Is it not in line with the rules for a Hanlin scholar to join the cabinet?
Although Grouper served as Minister of Civil Service, his status in the Hanlin Academy system was far inferior to that of Liu Chun.
Of course Liu Chun does not belong to your Yang Tinghe faction, that is another matter.
But even if he is not from your faction, you can draw him closer to you, so won’t the impact on your reputation be reduced to the lowest point? It can also be said to outsiders that it is precisely because you have recruited Liu Chun in advance that
Will you agree to this? Doesn’t your disciple Gujiu think that he can still be successful and prosperous by following you?
"call…"
Yang Tinghe took a long breath.
He finally saw some clues.
I thought that the little emperor had been controlled by him recently, but now I realized that the little emperor had taken every step and made him take it lightly by showing weakness. As a result, he fell into the trap twice in succession regarding the northwest military affairs and Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet.
trap.
That only shows that the "masters" around the emperor are always there.
In other words, the master is the emperor himself.
This little emperor's methods...
Yang Tinghe was quite afraid.
...
.........
Originally, Yang Tinghe had planned to ask Liu Chun alone after the court meeting the next day and do some recruiting work at the same time.
Afterwards, you still have to try to make amends and save some face.
It turns out that the little emperor had already expected this. Not only did he send Zhang Zuo to secretly communicate with Liu Chun beforehand, but he also summoned Liu Chun alone after the court meeting, on the grounds that he wanted to discuss major military matters with Liu Chun.
In front of all the ministers, he did not give any face to Yang Tinghe, the chief scholar.
When the emperor wanted to find someone to discuss military plans, he didn't look for Yang Tinghe or Peng Ze, but instead looked for Liu Chun, who had just joined the cabinet?
This signal is clearly released to the outside world.
I trust Liu Chun very much.
"Don't think too much, your majesty may just want to talk to Mr. Liu Ge alone because he has just joined the cabinet." When the court meeting ended and the ministers dispersed, Lin Jun and others were still helping Yang Tinghe explain to those ministers who did not understand.
But these words alone are not enough. Yang Tinghe was ignored by the emperor, which is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see.
The emperor's move was tantamount to teasing Yang Tinghe again.
Yang Tinghe even had to think about whether the so-called people in Liu Chun's house leaked the information about Zhang Zuo's visit, and the little emperor deliberately found someone to leak it?
He deliberately let him know about this and asked him to recruit Liu Chun. As a result, the emperor turned around and told him, this is not okay, Liu Chun is mine.
Man, do you want to die as soon as possible?
Yang Tinghe seemed to have no direct relationship with Liu Chun in this matter, but there was a dark fire gathering in his heart, preventing him from venting his inner emotions.
.........
.......
Yang Tinghe was still on duty that night.
After leaving the palace, the first thing he did was to go home. On the way back, someone brought his son Yang Shen back from the Hanlin Academy.
"Father, is there something urgent?"
Yang Shen looked confused.
If Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet affected the self-confidence of Yang Ting and the people in the faction, Yang Shen actually bore the brunt.
But now Yang Shen feels left out by his father, so much so that he has no motivation to do anything for his father, so this feeling is not enough for express delivery.
Yang Tinghe said: "The Nanjing incident is almost over. You should send a letter to Nanjing early and ask Maogong and Jingdao to return to the court as soon as possible."
"Um?"
Yang Shen asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Father, didn't you say that you want Maogong to take the opportunity to meet with Duke Wei to discuss matters? Until now, he has not met Duke Wei."
Yang Tinghe waved his hand and said, "This is no longer necessary."
Now Yang Tinghe felt that he no longer had the energy to take care of Nanjing affairs. Getting things done in the northwest first was the top priority.
If something happens in the northwest, Yang Tinghe will be blamed for replacing Zang Feng. Now he is blocking the emperor's proposal to increase Tang Yin's military power in court on the grounds that there will be no trouble in the northwest.
Now Yang Tinghe must first ensure that nothing is lost in the northwest.
"In fact, there is no need for my father to talk to my son alone about this matter. He can just inform me. After all, they are going to Nanjing on orders. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for my son to write a letter..."
Even though Yang Shen received his father's order, he still bargained.
Yang Tinghe could see that his son was frustrated.
Yang Tinghe sighed: "Yongxiu, Academician Shi told my father that I would recommend you to become a minister. My father also wanted you to gain more experience before, but did not allow you to go further. Until now, you have still entered the Hanlin Academy."
Now that you have reached the official rank, it’s time for you to take a step further and realize your ambitions.”
"Um?"
Yang Shen's eyes suddenly glowed.
It turns out that the father still remembers to promote his son?
I won the first prize in the imperial examination in the sixth year of Zhengde's reign. After entering the Hanlin Academy, I became a Hanlin compiler, and I am still a compiler now. Although I was away from the government for a long time, as a father, you can't be too partial.
Woo hoo.
Father finally remembered me!
etc!
Why did my father remember it only after Academician Shi reminded him? Didn't my father ever want to promote me to be a scholar or a lecturer in the past?
