Chapter 13: Fighting Openly and Secretly
Hearing this, Yang Yue pretended to be confused, and said: "Brother Three Emperors, the crown prince is powerful, and there is the close support of the Yuwen family and the He family, but now the younger brother has completely figured it out, if you want to be alone, you must stay out of the court disputes." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Since confirming his identity and understanding the constant disputes in the court, Yang Yue has made up his mind to restrain his thoughts and assist the emperor with peace of mind.
"Sixth brother, the court is a big dye vat, if you want to be alone, others may not let you get your way!" King Chu kindly reminded!
When Yang Yue was about to say something, Fan Hengwen hurriedly walked in and muttered a few words to Yang Yue.
Hearing this, Yang Yue got up and said to the King of Chu: "The crown prince and the royal brothers have arrived, the third emperor brothers, and the courtiers will go to greet them!" ”
The King of Chu looked displeased, got up reluctantly, and just talked about the key issue with Yang Yue, if he went further, perhaps, he could pull Yang Yue into his camp, unexpectedly, the prince and others appeared at an inopportune time to interrupt his plan.
The two strode out of the living room, only to see the crown prince Yang Hong, the king of Qi Yang Ming, and the king of Wu Yang Song, all entering the house with gifts, which made Yang Yue very surprised and flattered.
He returned from the frontier, and the seven princes in the court, except for Yang Qiong, the king of Qin, and Yang Xiao, the king of Shu, gathered in the Hou Mansion, which was unprecedented!
In order to prevent the ten major festivals of the border pass from becoming self-reliant and preventing the generals from disagreeing, the emperor has successively crowned the princes as kings for several years, rewarded them lavishly, weakened the military power of the border envoys and generals, and weakened the power of the family and the ministers.
Seven princes, except for the crown prince, five are kings, and three princes who are proficient in the art of war, Yang Qiong, the king of Qin, and Yang Xiao, the king of Shu, all hold heavy troops, or guard the capital, or fight outside.
The remaining three princes with outstanding literary talents, Yang Yan, King of Chu, Yang Ming, King of Qi, and Yang Song, King of Wu, are also important ministers in the court, and they are young and have formed a lot of strength in the court.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the crown prince and the four princes gathered in the Bohai Marquis Mansion, and it will not be long before it will soon spread throughout the capital, making Yang Yue a well-known figure in the capital.
"The crown prince, the fourth emperor brother, the fifth emperor brother, deigned to come, and the younger brother is grateful!" Yang Yue walked out of the living room, witnessed the three of them, and saluted the three of them with a smile.
The prince's demeanor was elegant, his breath was calm, and a natural smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "The sixth child doesn't need to be polite!" ”
After speaking, his attention was focused on the King of Chu, and he said with a smile: "The third child is also here, but he is a step too late for his brother!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that the prince was complaining to himself, however, the princes who knew the contradiction between the prince and the king of Chu knew that the prince was satirizing the king of Chu. The co-opting forces are too active.
The king of Chu was not surprised, and said with a smile: "The sixth brother has been guarding the frontier for three years, making contributions to the imperial court, and it is rare to return, I will not take the first step to visit, in case someone has a bad heart and is one step late, the sixth brother may be relegated back to the frontier." ”
The prince and the king of Chu and the king of Shu are not compatible, and everyone in the court knows that the Hou Mansion met each other, and soon revealed each other's old bottom mercilessly.
Witnessing the verbal confrontation between the two, Yang Ming, the king of Qi, was dressed in an ethereal white shirt, and said with a smile: "Big brother, third brother, the sixth brother has just returned, and it is rare for our brothers to get together, drink and have fun, and don't talk about government affairs." ”
"Life is geometric, when you sing about wine, the fourth brother has a good suggestion!" Wu Wang Yang Song is in line with the Tao.
These two people, Yang Ming, the king of Qi, has the style of a ranger, many people are stupid, and they are good at fighting, and Yang Song, the king of Wu, has the habit of being a literati, is vertical and horizontal, can speak well, and is good at diplomacy.
The prince glanced at Yang Yue, and said apologetically: "The sixth brother is back, our brothers are together, I will send someone to Hongyan Tower to set up a banquet, our brothers and others, get drunk and rest." ”
"The eldest brother is arrogant, but since it is a brother's reunion, why go to the restaurant, or sing and dance in his own garden!" The king of Chu is-for-tat, and it seems that he is acting exclusively with the crown prince.
At this time, King Qi and King Wu also suggested staying in the mansion to get together.
As the master, Yang Yue paid attention to the words and deeds of the four princes from beginning to end, watching the crown prince and the king of Chu face to heart, watching the king of Qi make peace, and the king of Wu was elegant, and he never had a word.
Before, he rarely had his own intersection with the princes, especially with the crown prince and the king of Chu, each with his own way, although he had never torn his face, the relationship was not very small.
As the saying goes, nothing will go to the Three Treasures Palace, today, when he returns, the princes enter the palace, no matter what his words and deeds mean, he will always remain neutral.
In order to entertain the crown prince and the princes, Yang Yue specially set up a banquet in the garden to entertain everyone.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, even if King Qi said before and didn't talk about political affairs, unfortunately, the princes who were stimulated by alcohol soon became careless.
Yang Hong, the crown prince sitting above, put down his wine glass and took the lead in speaking: "Sixth brother, if you defeat the Khitan and return to the dynasty, you will definitely be rewarded by your father this time, congratulations!" ”
When Yang Yue heard this, he raised his glass and said: "As a prince, it is the duty of my generation to expel Hu Lu, and I dare not ask for a reward from my father, but I want the border to be stable." ”
Yuwen clan went all out to support the prince Yang Hong, he was framed two years ago, directly related to Yuwen clan, and indirectly related to the prince, was framed yesterday, the truth is not yet clear, at this moment, he does not know Yang Hong's thoughts, only to restrain the edge.
Yang Hong chuckled, picked up his wine glass, and said loudly: "Anyway, the sixth brother has a credit to Sheji, borrowing flowers and offering Buddha to my brother, and I will give you a cup!" ”
Without waiting for Yang Yue to drink the warm wine, Yang Yan, the king of Chu, came out halfway, stared at the prince and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, the sixth brother's military talent is obvious to everyone, with him sitting in Youzhou, Khitan, Pinglu Jiedu and Hedong Jiedu envoy Han Xifan, don't dare to act rashly!"
For many years, the father has been trying to weaken the strength of the Jiedu Envoy, but the effect is not great, only before, after the seventh brother won the victory against Tuyuhun, he took the opportunity to destroy the Jiannan Jiedu Envoy! I think that if the court supports it, the seventh brother can, but the sixth brother may not be not!"
The king of Chu is known for his strategy and has a great view of the overall situation, among the princes, he is very close to the king of Shu, and the two are united, which is enough to confront the prince!
However, the king of Shu was deeply trusted by the emperor and was unruly, and the king of Chu knew that it was okay for the two to jointly deal with the prince.
If the King of Shu becomes more and more powerful in the court, the other party may not take him seriously, but instead kick him away directly and directly start a war with the prince, so he hopes to win over Yang Yue.
Yang Yue's military talent seems to be even greater than that of Yang Xiao, the king of Shu, in addition, he did not return for three years, and entered Beijing again, the situation in Chang'an City has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Yang Yue must find a tough backer to gain a foothold.
What's more, although Yang Yue and Yang Xiao are compatriots of the same mother, it is a pity that Yang Xiao is too arrogant, and Yang Yue's bad luck makes him not take Yang Yue in his eyes at all.
