Zhu Youruan had a strange impression on Yang Tinghe. This vassal king who had not arrived in his thirties did not show too much unfathomable, but he gave people a sense of shrewdness.
Zhu Youruan was very kind to Yang Tinghe. After the two sat down, they exchanged greetings. Yang Tinghe said: "I am hereby the Queen Mother's order to welcome Your Highness to the capital. Your Highness, the capital is now in chaos. Why is Your Highness staying in Tongzhou? I am looking forward to it.
The officials and the people were disappointed?”
Zhu Youruan smiled and said, "I am tired, so I just take a break here. Besides, even if I enter the capital, it may not be of any importance. There are not many kings in the capital, and there are not many kings, and there are not many kings in the capital.
Lord Yang’s words are too heavy.”
Zhu Youruan spoke easily, and today he was wearing a very loose Taoist costume, which was quite a bit idle like a slacking cloud and Yehe.
However, what he said was different in Yang Tinghe's ears. One more is not more, one less is not less. How could a dignified regent be irrelevant?
unless……
Yang Tinghe understood that Zhu Youruan wanted to raise treatment with him.
Since he is the regent, can he still be treated as a vassal king? This is not true. The so-called "not righteous" means dissatisfaction. It is impossible to command the world under the name of a vassal king, and it is inevitable that he will be despised by others.
Since you are acting on behalf of the emperor, you must act on behalf of the emperor.
Yang Tinghe hurriedly said: "Your Highness is very important. You can control the national weapons on behalf of the emperor. The world's honor and disgrace are all related. Isn't it irrelevant? Does Your Highness have a misunderstanding?"
Zhu Youruan smiled, like a spring breeze.
As a vassal king, he is very easy-going, at least on the surface, but he will never be ruthless when it comes to fighting for his own interests. This is not a matter of friendship or a matter of face, but a matter of politics.
.
The most important thing for the so-called political issue is to first set up a archway, and then show your special identity, so that you can exercise your rights.
Zhu Youruan is not stupid. If he doesn’t get the treatment, he will not enter Beijing.
"So, I am no longer a vassal king? This is strange. I am not a vassal king, so what is it? There is a precedent for the regent clan in the Ming Dynasty, but the outcome is not very good.
Do you want me to follow the example of King Huang?”
King Hui was Emperor Daizong of Ming Dynasty. Because Emperor Yingzong was captured, he first regent and then became emperor. However, Emperor Yingzong then returned to the capital and seized the throne through a coup. In this way, the deposed emperor seemed a little embarrassed.
Among the Regents, there is only one example like King Hui. Yang Tinghe hurriedly said: "Your Highness is so serious. Your Majesty is not Emperor Yingzong, so your Highness is naturally not King Hui."
This is to tell Zhu Youruan that you cannot just copy it. You can't just reject all the regent just because there is a King of Songs.
Zhu Youruan frowned and said slowly: "Since I am not King Hui or the vassal king, I am even more confused. What is this king?"
The dignified King Anlu was very worried about his identity. Of course, his troubles were fake, because this was just a prelude. People like him always like to turn around and try first, and people should not misinterpret it.
You have to set up a archway at the same time, this is the art of speaking by a great nobleman.
But Yang Tinghe couldn't get around it anymore. He came with the order and had some serious work to do, so he said solemnly: "If your highness has any requests, you can raise it, and the officials will be the one who is in charge.
Try to comply with it."
Zhu Youruan smiled and said, "I'm afraid you can't make the decision."
Yang Tinghe looked serious and said, "The emperor is willing to fight for His Highness."
Speaking of this, Yang Tinghe finally revealed his thoughts. To put it bluntly, it was Yang Tinghe who belonged to him, Zhu Youruan.
Zhu Youruan smiled slightly and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I won't bend anymore. I ask you, can I have a place to stay after I enter the capital?"
Yang Tinghe was stunned for a moment, then said, "There is a place on the other side of Dong'anmen..."
Zhu Youruan shook his head and sneered, saying, "The vassal kings all live in the royal palace. Can I, the regent, still be able to live in a house near the Forbidden City?"
This sentence makes sense, but it doesn't make sense. One of the biggest problems is that Zhu Youruan is not the emperor, he is not the emperor, and there are so many concubines in the harem, so it is naturally not appropriate to let him live in the Forbidden City.
This makes it embarrassing. There is no special Regent's Mansion in the capital and the palace cannot be lived in, so where else can I live?
Zhu Youruan obviously had his own thoughts. He sighed and said, "There is a place that I think is good. Isn't the East Palace always deserted now? I'll just live in the East Palace, sir.
Immediately go and discuss with the Queen Mother and then order someone to clean the East Palace. How about it?"
The East Palace...
The Eastern Palace is more symbolic. Those who move in are the crown princesses. If Zhu Youruan moves in, is it equivalent to the crown prince?
Yang Tinghe hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly in his heart. He thought he had invited a Bodhisattva, but who knew he was a petty person. The former was easy to fool, while the latter would never let go without seeing the real money and silver.
However, the conditions proposed by Zhu Youruan are not unreasonable. People come from all over the world to regent. How could they live in an ordinary house? If you can't live in the Forbidden City, there is only the East Palace. Moreover, the Regent will ascend the throne sooner or later, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
OK.
In fact, if it were other times, Yang Tinghe would never compromise. It was not a matter of status, but it was also a political issue. On the surface, the fight for status is a matter of interest, but now he can only handle it: "
I will definitely send someone to explain this matter to the Queen Mother.”
Zhu Youruan smiled and said, "It's amazing, yes, there is another thing, I don't know what to do."
besides……
Yang Tinghe smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, but it's okay."
Zhu Youruan said: "Since you are going to enter the Eastern Palace, then in theory, you must first enter the palace to meet Empress Dowager Zhang. I am the regent, which door should I go to? If I go to the Meridian Gate, it seems that something is wrong. Is the regent a minister?
Is it? According to my king's opinion, it is more appropriate to go to the Daming Sect."
Daming Gate...
Yang Tinghe had a headache.
Not everyone can leave the Ming Gate. Generally, only the empress dowager, emperor, and empress are qualified to enter and exit. Only these people will open the door when they travel. Zhu Youruan made this request directly, and he really doesn't regard himself as a person.
What an outsider means.
Yang Tinghe had no choice but to say: "The officials will definitely argue with reason."
Zhu Youruan was satisfied. After the problem of status was solved, he frowned and began to get to the point.
"When I came along, I discovered a strange phenomenon."
"Please tell me."
Zhu Youruan said seriously: "It seems that someone is following along the way. Could it be that the factory guards inquire about my movements?"
Yang Tinghe became nervous and said, "What does Your Highness mean?"
Zhu Youruan sneered and said, "I heard that the factory guards are in the hands of Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong is the one who is left by His Majesty. I didn't want to say anything at first, but a servant dared to spy on me.
Is this a traitor?"
Yang Tinghe said: "If this is true, the court must deal with it seriously."
Zhu Youruan looked at Yang Tinghe with a smile. The meaning in his eyes was clearly: Old people should never fool me. The court can still control the affairs of the palace? What serious measures can be done to the factory guards?
Words of comfort.
Zhu Youruan said: "A slave does not have such courage. According to my opinion, there must be a treacherous person behind this slave. Lord Yang, to be honest, I always feel relieved when I go this time.
If someone wants to imitate Wang Mang and Cao Cao, wouldn’t this king die without a place to bury him?"
Yang Tinghe couldn't help but say, "To be honest, there are indeed people in the court that are extremely powerful and bold."
Zhu Youruan smiled: "Are you talking about the King of Chu?"
Yang Tinghe said: "The officials dare not say it."
"That's him." Zhu Youruan stretched and said relaxedly: "The King of Chu is a man who has great ambitions. Look at him, a vassal king, but he has not returned to his own vassal state yet. His intentions are
It's obvious. Therefore, this is why I haven't entered the capital for a long time."
Yang Tinghe was anxious. He invited you because he was in danger. What's the matter if you didn't enter here? Then what else should you do? If there was no King of Chu, it would be fine to let the cabinet settle the military and political affairs.
It's right.
But he couldn't say these words, thought for a while, and said, "Can your Highness have a solution?"
Zhu Youruan smiled and said, "There is one way, but it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Let's take Zhang Yong first. Can I promulgate the regent's order now?"
Yang Tinghe said: "Of course."
Zhu Youruan's face became serious and said coldly: "Then you will immediately bring my king's order to Beijing, let my eunuch, Hu Fang, go with you, let Hu Fang take over Zhang Yong, Zhang Yong, the emperor now
I disappeared, but he, the slave who was close to the emperor, was still enjoying himself in the palace. How could he do it? Send out of the capital and search for the emperor. Also, in order to prevent accidents, he immediately took my king's order and all the soldiers stationed in the capital area of the king to speed up.
When entering the city, all the gates of each city will be replaced by the army and horses from all over the country. As for the empress dowager, I need to explain and tell the empress dowager that this is because it prevents the unrest and collusion between the party when the emperor is away. Well, what I want to say
That’s all, what does Lord Yang think?”
His words made Yang Tinghe look at him with admiration. He dealt with Zhang Yong in order to hit someone and let the troops outside enter the capital, and threaten someone. Before the prince entered the capital, he knew the capital well and did
A corresponding countermeasure was introduced, which made Yang Tinghe look up to the prince who came from Anlu.
