Chapter 55: Two Slaps

Yang Yihe, who was worried, walked out of the palace, and his mind was a little trance. The sunlight stretched his shadow on the ground, and with each step, his footsteps stepped on his own shadow, which made him involuntarily quicken his pace. Shangjing is not going to be peaceful! He lamented inwardly.

As the prime minister of the country, his most important job is to maintain the stability of the country, only stability can lead to development, and many years of auxiliary career have made him have a deep understanding of this. Stability, first and foremost, must come from the highest level. In the past few decades, although there will be pro-Qi or anti-Qi battles in the court from time to time, under the leadership of the emperor, the vast majority of people are still soberly aware that if they want to have long-term peace and stability in the Chu State, it is an inevitable choice to join Qin and Yue to resist Qi. There is no border between the Yue State and the Chu State, and they have a deeper understanding of the encroachment ambitions of the Qi State, so they have always befriended the Great Chu, although Qin and Chu have clashed every year, but they are limited to small-scale wars on the border, and the rulers of both sides also try their best to limit the war to a partial, fighting but not breaking, and fighting and peace.

And over the years, he has served as the left minister of Da Chu, and he has not lived up to the expectations of the emperor, a young playmate, who has been in good weather, the country is peaceful and peaceful, and his strength is thriving, and his national strength has long surpassed that of Qin Yue, becoming the second largest country after Qi.

But everything at the moment is most likely interrupted by this unexpected war. If it is just the defeat of a war, it is nothing, and the death of a great grandmaster is nothing, the great grandmaster is the ultimate force of the country but not the decisive force, but hidden behind this war, the two princes are the most worried about the battle for the throne.

Internal strife has always been more terrifying than external troubles, not to mention, this time the internal troubles are an endless duel between the two princes who control great power, Yang Yihe doesn't know, when the dust settles, what will become of the Chu Kingdom? Regardless of which one wins, it is conceivable that it will be the country itself that will suffer in the end.

As far as Yang Yihe is concerned, he is willing to calm down, and the instigators of this conspiracy are nothing more than wanting to provoke large-scale civil strife to take the opportunity to purge his enemies, and the purpose is obvious. According to Yang Yihe's temperament, standing still seemed to be the best choice, but the emperor was old and sick, and he couldn't last long, and this bloody way of provoking the battle obviously angered the emperor.

As the emperor said, even if it is a sick tiger, it is also a tiger, he was a dignified generation of martial arts masters, crisscrossing on the battlefield, fighting in the east and west, and stubbornly stabilized the crisis-ridden Chu State. The initiator of this conspiracy obviously touched his scales. The emperor, who originally wanted a smooth transition, seemed to be about to set off a huge purge.

For Yang Yihe, he is actually more inclined to the smooth succession of His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be enterprising enough, but Shoucheng is more than enough, the second prince is indeed heroic and extraordinary, but compared to the emperor, it is still too far behind, such a person who can not be compared with the emperor, but is ambitious and wants to make more dazzling feats than the emperor, it is very likely to bring the state of Chu into a catastrophe.

The state of Chu must clearly define its own positioning, although the national strength of the state of Chu is now second only to the state of Qi, but the second is always the most difficult to be, the boss is wary of you, and he has to clean up and beat you from time to time, and the latter also targets you, and from time to time he will come to make a small fuss. Moreover, this is second only to Qi is also relatively speaking, in fact, as far as the world is concerned, the three kingdoms of Chu, Qin, and Yue combined can barely compete with Qi State.

Full of sorrow, a melancholy face returned to his left prime minister's mansion, the emperor had already spoken, and he was not allowed to interfere, for fear that An Ruhai would use the topic to play and be imprisoned. Fortunately, An Ruhai, like himself, does not have a clear political inclination, and I hope he can maintain his current attitude as always, and not change because of this failure.

Above the court, there was an undercurrent, and all the spearheads seemed to be pointing at His Royal Highness the Prince. The second prince made a fuss in court, and he almost pointed out that he would scold His Royal Highness the prince for betraying the country.

This time, the loss was the second prince's hardcore supporters, the largest military force, and a full 60,000 border troops with strong combat effectiveness! Yang Yihe couldn't believe that a gentle and honest person like the prince could do such a thing. But can you guarantee it? Can't! His Majesty is just struggling for time, the second prince is aggressive, and the momentum of forcing the palace is surging, and he has gained the upper hand in the court. Even if the prince doesn't do it, how can it be said whether those strategists under his command will have crooked thoughts because of this?

Back in his study, Yang Yihe was still a little distracted. Whether to stand in line is a big problem, and it is even more difficult to stand in the wrong line. Especially people like themselves. Therefore, it is more prudent not to stand in line, even if the new emperor succeeds to the throne in the future, he will need to stabilize the situation for him for a period of time, and then let himself retire honorably and decently.

Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but suddenly brighten, yes, with my qualifications and merits, why should I stand in line?

"Father!" There was a knock on the door, and Yang Zhi's handsome face appeared at the door. For this son, Yang Yihe was originally very proud, he was born in a civil official, but this son has an extraordinary talent in martial arts, if he can become a master above the ninth level in the future, then in Da Chu, he can definitely stand alone. But this time the experience of going out made him very disappointed, especially after he interrogated the person who escorted him back in detail, he was even more angry.

Donkey outside light! The elegant Yang Yihe made an extremely indecent comment on his son. is usually busy with official duties, and only sees the bright side of his son, but ignores his most essential things. During this time, he kept his son at home and confined him, moving almost a room full of books, so that he had to read them one by one and write down his thoughts and gains after each one.

It was a big mistake to only care about letting him practice martial arts, but neglecting to let him study and cultivate.

"What's the matter?" He grimaced.

"The second prince sent someone to ask to see his father." Yang Zhi said cautiously.

"Nope!" Yang Yihe said categorically.

"Huh?" Yang Zhi was a little surprised.

"Didn't I hear me clearly? Not only is the second prince's person missing, but if His Royal Highness the crown prince sends someone here, he will also not see it. Yang Yihe shouted.

"Yes, father, I see." Yang Zhi was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head, during this time, his father was scolding lightly, and corporal punishment was severe, which made him really realize his father's power.

Seeing that Yang Zhi was still not leaving, Yang Yihe lowered his face and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Yang Zhi hesitated, "Father, I heard that the death battalion is still in Anyang City, but it is unharmed?" ”

There was a crisp snap, and Yang Zhijie was slapped firmly. This sudden slap made Yang Zhi dizzy and his head clouded.

"Do you know why I hit you?" Yang Yihe asked.

Yang Zhi shook his head very aggrievedly.

"This period of time has allowed you to study, but it seems that you still haven't made any progress? You still have a grudge against the death camp in your heart, and you still hate Qin Feng, right? Yang Yihe asked coldly.

"Didn't my father say that he was going to be angry for me?" Yang Zhi asked unconvinced: "Then Qin Feng made his son so ugly, shouldn't I hate him?" ”

"I said at the time that I was going to clean up that Qin Feng and be angry for you, because your grandmother and mother were there, and you actually took it seriously?" Yang Yihe sneered: "Just by what you did, people left you with a life, which gave me a big face, do you think that with you, you can come back alive after cutting off other people's military flags?" ”

Yang Yihe sighed: "For the sake of selfishness, I am really unhappy in my heart, but for the public, this death battalion has made many achievements for the country and the army over the years, even if this time, Zuo Lixing ordered them to travel as bait, do you know what the bait means, that is the meaning of sending death, but they did not hesitate and set off immediately, this is the soldier of Chu State." Only this time, they were able to get away with it, and it was really fate. Yang Zhi, if it weren't for this one, you would have died a long time ago, speaking of which, I really have to thank Qin Feng! ”

Yang Zhi bowed his head indignantly.

"You pack up, go out of Beijing today, return to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, follow your master to study for a few more years, this time you go out, I think you have also seen how high the sky is, how thick the ground is, without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect again." Yang Yihe said coldly.

"Father, it is an eventful time in Beijing right now, and my son wants to stay in Beijing to share his father's worries." Yang Zhi panicked when he heard this, and drove himself out of the capital and locked up in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, wouldn't it suffocate people?

"Confused!" Yang Yihe slapped his backhand again, and Yang Zhi's other face also turned red: "You can also interfere in the affairs of the capital, I am afraid that you will stay in the capital and be used by others, with your temperament, you will be sold, I am afraid that you will have to help the people." Go back, when everything is done, I will let you come back before you can come back. Did you hear me clearly? ”
