Chapter 161: Two Emperors Reign Together (Second Watch)

"I'm here to show the way? You believe in Ben Hou like this? Yang Chendong is already familiar with his current identity, and he can't leave his mouth when he speaks.

In this regard, Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang did not have the slightest displeasure, on the contrary, they both nodded solemnly, with serious expressions.

"Hey, that's the case, then Ben Hou will say a few words." As he spoke, Yang Chendong returned to the first chair and sat down.

"Okay, just ask the Hou Ye to say a few words, no matter what your decision is, our Emperor Daizong will carefully consider and thank you." Jin Ying hurriedly expressed his determination, and at the same time brought out the identity of Daizong, which meant something.

Cao Jixiang was naturally not to be left behind, and immediately said: "Yes, please give an idea." Emperor Yingzong was saved by you, and I think the emperor will definitely agree and be grateful for your decision. ”

The two of them were on par, and each of them lifted out the emperor behind them, that is, reminding Yang Chendong that Yang Chendong's words would be flat with a bowl of water.

Regarding the little tricks used by the two, Yang Chendong just smiled and didn't break it. Sitting back in the chair, he first took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and then said slowly: "Daizong means that Fengyingzong is the emperor, right?" ”

"Yes." Jin Ying nodded in response.

"Presumably, this Yingzong will not accept it, he will only become the emperor in his early twenties, presumably no one will want to change it." When Yang Chendong said this, he asked Cao Jixiang.

"That is, Yingzong is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and there are many things that can be done, how can he become the emperor." Cao Jixiang also nodded incessantly, praising the correctness of Yang Chendong's words.

"Okay, I know what you mean, obviously the title of the emperor is inappropriate, if you have to do this, it is likely that you will meet each other, and at that time, it will only be my Ming Dynasty's vitality that will be lost, and the dead will be Ming warriors. But don't forget, the Wara army is coming to the Beijing Division, once the Juyong Pass is broken, the Beijing Division is equivalent to the door is wide open, at this moment, the interior is categorically unstable, otherwise, it is really the pain of the relatives, and the enemies are fast, right? ”

"Yes, yes." Regarding Yang Chendong's analysis of the situation, Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang both nodded again and again, expressing their agreement.

"Hmm. Even if you can't fight, if you can't fight, then there is only one way to negotiate peace, then it's better like this, Emperor Daizong shouldn't say anything too emperorly, this must not work. Yang Chendong was very satisfied with the cooperation between the two, which saved him a lot of tongue.

"That's it, Hou Ye is wise." Cao Jixiang heard from these words that Yang Chendong meant to Zhu Qizhen, so he hurriedly said yes. This made Jin Ying on the side a little unhappy. What's wrong? Just promoted you to a loyal and courageous marquis, did you not even speak to the Daizong at all?

It's just that before Jin Ying could disagree, Yang Chendong had already looked at him and said, "It's impossible for Daizong to give way to Emperor Yingzong, who lost to the enemy on a big battlefield, right?" ”

Yang Chendong said that Yingzong was the defeated emperor, which caused Jin Ying to be very happy, and immediately agreed and said, "Yes, yes, or Hou Ye has sharp eyes and can see everything." ”

"Huh." For this not clever sycophant, Yang Chendong just smiled and didn't care, but continued to say: "Then the matter is already very clear, everyone has their own reasons, and they are all the emperor's ninety-five status, then I am afraid that only one Jingshi will not be able to meet the needs of the two, why not jump out of sight, why do you have to stick to one place?" Daming is not a big city in Beijing. ”

"Ahh I don't know what Hou Ye means? Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't understand what Yang Chendong meant by this.

"Hehe, it's not Ben Hou's meaning, it's the two of you who asked me for advice, so I had to come up with an idea. Of course, this idea may not be clever, if the two fathers-in-law think it is inappropriate, it can be regarded as Ben Hou did not say it. Yang Chendong smiled, with a look of indifference on his lips. In fact, this result was indeed expected by him, and even when Yingzong set out on the expedition, he made preparations in this regard.

Yang Chendong came up with an idea on the spot, and he didn't want to carry the black pot yet. Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang are both human spirits, how could they not understand the meaning of these words? At that moment, the two of them nodded again and again: "Yes, we asked Lord Hou for ideas, and everything and the result have nothing to do with you." ”

"Very well, even if that is the case, I will say more. Even if there can only be one emperor in Jingshi, why can't Yingzong give up here? For example, go to Nanjing, the capital of China, where the climate is pleasant, and the prosperity is not worse than that of Beijing. Under the gaze of the two, Yang Chendong finally said the ultimate goal of his plan, dividing a Ming into two.

"To Nanjing?" Cao Jixiang's eyes widened, as if this result was completely unexpected by him, and it was something he hadn't thought about before.

Not only Cao Jixiang, but also Jin Ying was silent at this moment. The same result was somewhat unexpected. Originally, I thought that as long as Yang Chendong was wooed, I would be able to know Yingzong's whereabouts, and then send a large army to "take him" back to Beijing and put him under house arrest as Emperor Taishang. But now it seems that Yang Chendong will not betray Yingzong. Not only that, but there is also the idea of continuing to let Yingzong be the emperor, but fortunately, he is not allowed to return to Jingshi, which can be regarded as speaking to Daizong.

The method Yang Chendong proposed, as for whether they want to do it or not, it is not for him to decide. But he believed that after weighing all the situation, his idea would be the most perfect way.

Cao Jixiang was silent, he weighed the feasibility of this method in his heart.

Daizong was called the emperor in Beijing, and now he can be said to be in power, if Yingzong comes back at this time, it is very likely that he will be caught, and then he will be put under house arrest in the name of a Taishang Emperor until he dies.

If this is the case, as a person who has taken refuge in Yingzong, the end is conceivable. Even if you are so uncertain, it is better to go to Nanjing to be the emperor. With Yingzong being the emperor for so many years, it should be possible to accumulate a strong force soon, and at that time, there is a choice between whether to continue to entrench in Nanjing, the capital of China, or to return to Beijing.

Thinking about it like this, Yang Chendong's idea cannot be said to be wrong.

On the other side, Jin Ying was also considering Yang Chendong's proposal.

It is true that Daizong is now the emperor, and it is also true that he controls Jingshi. But after all, when he came to power, he was not so justifiable, and his reign was so short, who knows what those important ministers in the capital thought of. If they turn to support Yingzong, wouldn't it be that the status of the Daizong is not guaranteed, and if so, what role do they play, and where will they go?

Having said that, even if Daizong wins, he must be scarred, even his vitality is greatly damaged, what strength is there to resist the Warat army? If you are defeated by the alien race in the end, it will not end well. It would be better to let Yingzong be the emperor in Nanjing, and as long as he develops well, he will not worry about the day when the country will not be reunified. Daizong also had a longer time to prepare everything, and he could also follow and seek more benefits from it.

The two had different thoughts, but in the end the decision was the same.

"Okay, I agree, my father will also try his best to persuade Yingzong, but there are still some conditions, such as Kuang Ye and other important ministers' families are still in Jingshi, and you need to let them go, and if there are other ministers who voluntarily follow Yingzong, you must not stop it, everything depends on their own choice." After some deep thought, Cao Jixiang made a temporary decision.

The reason why it is said to be a temporary decision is because Cao Jixiang cannot represent Yingzong at all, he can only act as a lobbyist.

Jin Ying also made a decision, and thought that Cao Jixiang's request was reasonable, but said that he had to go back to ask Emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu for specific matters in order to give a final result.

In front of Yang Chendong, the two exchanged views on some general issues, and did not discuss more details, because they both knew that things that were too detailed would eventually lead to more detailed consultations between the two sides. Including the territories under the respective jurisdiction of the two emperors, and so on.

Yang Chendong is just responsible for rubbing the two of them, as for whether it will succeed or not, and what things will be done after it becomes something, he will not interfere again. Doing this, there is already a suspicion of overstepping his authority, he doesn't want to interfere in everything, and finally be hated by others.

Although Jin Ying did not know Yingzong's whereabouts from Yang Chendong's mouth, he could be regarded as retaining Daizong's throne and returned satisfied. Leaving Cao Jixiang alone in the side hall, he wanted to see Yingzong so that he could do these things.

"Ben Hou will arrange someone to lead you to find Yingzong, and you can do the rest by yourself. By the way, remember to bring Queen Qian with you when you leave, I think she will cooperate with you to do something. Looking at Cao Jixiang, who looked longing, Yang Chendong got up and left the side hall after throwing down this sentence. That's it, he can finally rest for a few days.

Of course, some people may ask, why did Yang Chendong actually control Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, but he gave up such an opportunity to coerce the Son of Heaven to Cao Jixiang?

This is exactly what makes Yang Chendong smart.

Mingzong is on the throne, Yingzong is naturally weak, and with the balancing role played by Yang Chendong in the middle, it can be seen that no matter who wants to own the Ming Dynasty alone in the future, it will be a very difficult thing.

Even if Yingzong is no longer a one-of-a-kind emperor, why did Yang Chendong catch him in his hands and become the target of public criticism? Get an emperor by your side, ask for instructions from time to time, and even kneel, where is there such joy and comfort as becoming an independent third party now?
