After everyone left, Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Yang Youcai: "I said you can't do this kind of thing, Jinyiwei is not used to do this kind of thing." ”

"Your Highness, why don't you tell them this, it depends on how easy it is for me to bully, right? If I don't do it for them, what will happen to you, Your Highness, you know, if you offend Your Highness, you are just cutting off your head, offending them, our Yang family is the object of hatred of adults in this life, not only I can't get out, but my son can't come out. ”

"The Jinyi Guards are the personal guards of the royal family, how can you listen to them?"

"Then Your Highness will make a promise to me, no matter how much they impeach Jinyi Wei in the future, how about turning a blind eye?"

"Absolute power leads to absolute corruption."

"Isn't that good, although the knife is in your hands, Your Highness, but the reason for the killing is in their hands, Your Highness, you will not be idle and cut off my head, if they impeach me day and night, do I want this little life? The lesser of the two powers, this is what your Highness taught me. ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "I can tell you, now is the world of the Qing Dynasty, you go to Jiangnan to find a woman to enter the palace, you have to let the government be a thief and cut off your head." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, we naturally have our own solutions. But if Your Highness is unwilling to choose a concubine, then marry Miss Mao first, as long as you can block their mouths, time can always drag on. ”

Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "If you don't marry, even if you find a woman from Jiangnan, I only say that I am ugly, and I will not accept a concubine, what can you do with me?" "Cheng Xiaolian doesn't like women, but if even marrying a wife and having children have to be mixed with ministers, what is the difference between it and an arranged marriage? What did you end up with an arranged marriage? As for the bloodline of the Ming Dynasty, whoever loves to pass it on will pass it on.

Yang Youcai smiled bitterly and walked out of the camp tent and came to Qin Yue's camp tent, Yuan Zonghao and they happened to be here to discuss things, and it was very strange to see him coming: "Why is Lord Yang here?" ”

"I want to discuss something with you."

"What Lord Yang said." Although Yang Youcai's official position is not big, after all, he is the commander of Jinyiwei, and this official position has always been a nightmare for officials in the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and of course there are shadows now.

"Do you want Your Highness to pass on the lineage?"

"Of course."

"Let's put aside the matter of choosing a concubine for the time being, His Royal Highness is a young man, and he naturally doesn't want to be restrained, if everyone is pressed, what if His Highness doesn't marry anyone in anger?"

Qin Yue frowned: "Isn't Your Highness already seventeen years old?" ”

"I'm seventeen."

"Where is there anyone at this age who doesn't want women, let alone others, just a few of us, at this age, I can't wait to live in women, right?"

Yang Youcai and the others laughed, as if thinking of the unbearable years of their youth.

Qin Yue continued: "Your Highness's age should have been singing every night, but he didn't even accept a concubine, do you think this is normal?" ”

Everyone's faces became strange, His Highness doesn't really like men, right?

Yang Youcai hurriedly said: "No, no, you think wrong, His Highness likes a woman, but that woman is not here now, so His Highness is unwilling to marry another woman?" ”

Qin Yue nodded his snacks, and his face became very serious: "But as a member of the Zhu family, he has no qualifications for infatuation, and his mission is to continue the bloodline." Now it's not the world of the Ming Dynasty, when Emperor Zhengde didn't have a son, he could still choose the son of King Xingxian to succeed to the throne, if His Royal Highness didn't have a son, who should we find? ”

Yang Youcai coughed: "Lord Qin, everyone understands what you said, but is Your Highness willing to do it?" If he doesn't want to, even if you put all the women in the world in front of him, and he doesn't move, what can we do? ”

Qu Songjin coughed: "Your Highness is not Liu Xia Hui, how can a woman be indifferent in front of her?" ”

Confucius shook his head: "You think too simply, if you provoke His Highness, will we stand on the opposite side of him again, and then will he have to trust those eunuchs again and use eunuchs to suppress us?" ”

Qin Yue's face stiffened, what Confucius said was indeed reasonable, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty liked eunuchs a lot, sometimes they may not really like those people, but because the minister's way of doing things was too tough, the emperor was put on the wall and couldn't come to the stage, and some emperors turned to look for eunuchs who liked to please them, and it was much more difficult to fight down a eunuch in power.

Thinking of this, Qin Yue nodded: "What Master Kong said is right, anything can be discussed, although His Highness does not have a eunuch by his side now, but sooner or later there will be, we can't bury this thorn in advance, otherwise it will always be trouble in the future, doesn't Your Highness just like that woman, Yang Youcai, you hurry up and get the person back, he likes it for a while, maybe he doesn't like it after meeting, can't we people protect His Highness?" ”

Yang Youcai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't want the emperor to be unhappy with these ministers, he was the one who was caught in the middle and was difficult to be, and the emperor had to deal with these ministers through his hands, but after getting along these days, he was not willing to do anything to these people.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly went back to report the results to Cheng Xiaolian, Qin Yue and the others put this matter aside for the time being, and began to arrange the matter of the two-day march.

Now marching in the mountains, as long as you avoid the troops in the city, there is no big deal, and Wu Sangui has brought out all the main forces, and the rest of the people can barely defend, if you want to take the initiative to attack, it is not very realistic, as long as you don't provoke the fragile nerves of the defenders in the city, there is no big problem.

Their route was quickly arranged, going to Dali Mansion, to Lancangwei, and then to Yanjingwei, and then they could enter the territory of Sichuan.

Only Dali Mansion is a problem here, and other places can go around a long way, but the east of Dali Mansion is all mountains, if you get into it, you are afraid that you will not be able to get out in a few months, and the range of a few hundred miles to the west is Kunming, which is Wu Sangui's lair, so the west can not be too close, you can only stick to the edge of Dali Mansion, but the people of Dali Mansion will be willing to let them go?

Yang Youcai's Jinyiwei was on the way to the army's march, and then Sichuan sent a large number of Jinyiwei, and now in difficult times, he didn't expect to be able to fully hear the intelligence of all provinces, just to ensure that the army was not attacked by sneak.

But everyone began to raise their hearts, and now they were next to Wu Sangui's tiger whiskers, and if Wu Sangui withdrew with the army, no one would be able to escape, so they could only bet that Wu Sangui would not be as knowledgeable as them.
