As soon as Zhu Changxun's edict was established, it immediately caused an uproar between the government and the opposition.

Before, the news that had been fed back from the court was that the ministers tried their best to support the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo as the crown prince, why did such a change suddenly occur? Could it be that so many officials in the DPRK and China changed their minds at the same time? Or is it that the imperial power of today's son is completely above everyone?

All kinds of specious news among the people are spreading everywhere, and officialdom seems to be much more cautious and reliable. I don't know who it is, whether it was intentional or unintentional, but after a few days, Yang Zhen resolutely stood on the side of the Son of Heaven at the court meeting, and used various words to refute the statement of all the courtiers has been completely spread.

While most of these claims are true, once they spread, they inevitably become exaggerated. The propagandist even added fuel to Yang Zhen's criticism of the ministers in the early dynasty, which made the listeners even more frightened.

Regarding the fact that he was able to suppress the ministers from refutating with a marquis and a governor of the brocade guard, and also helped the Son of Heaven establish the position of the crown prince, there were both dissatisfied and envious among the officials, and on the whole, the latter was obviously above the former.

Although on the surface, these officials are very upright and always say that they want to uphold discipline, in reality, they will inevitably have their own calculations in their hearts. All of them knew that they could help the Son of Heaven achieve their wishes at this time, and how much credit it was to establish the third son of the emperor, and they only dared not show it because of the opinions of their colleagues. Now Yang Zhen has not only done what they dare not do, but also done it, which naturally makes people both envious and jealous.

Many people feel that Yang Zhen's power in the court will continue to increase in the future, especially when the prince becomes an adult, and he will not treat this benefactor badly if he helps him this time, so they also began to contact Yang Zhen more, hoping to join his disciples.

Yang Zhen didn't react much to this, and he was also imminent about leaving these officials. He knew very well that as the governor of Jinyi Wei, he was destined to be a lonely minister, and if he also gathered with ordinary court officials to form a party, he was afraid that the Son of Heaven would be suspicious of him.

Don't look at Wanli has always been very trusting of himself, and after this incident, he is regarded as a real confidant, but as the so-called companion is like a tiger, with the growth of age and experience, Wanli's desire to control the imperial power will only become stronger and stronger.

Yang Zhen, who understood this, became extremely cautious, although he did not offend the officials who took the initiative to lean over, but he also kept a certain distance from them.

But that doesn't mean he can't get the benefits out of it. Because although he can't have too close contact with the officials, his brother Yang Chen can.

Sure enough, after discovering that they couldn't have much further relationship with Yang Zhen, these nimble-minded officials hurriedly changed direction and began to try to make friends with Yang Chen, a waiter who was about to sit on the throne of the Ministry of Industry.

God is pitiful, as the largest contractor in the world, the officials of the Ministry of Industry have never had much say in the court, and few people will take the initiative to attach themselves. And now, Yang Chen has actually won the refuge of many officials and has become a rising star in the DPRK.

In this regard, Yang Zhen is happy to see it. In fact, when it comes to the ability to govern the country, he knows that he is far inferior to his brother Yang Chen, and his identity is so special, so he naturally hopes for such a result.

Yang Zhen can avoid the kindness and kindness of other officials, but Yang Zhen can't avoid the thanks from another important person.

Soon after the crown prince's position was decided, a mysterious guest came to the Yang Mansion. His dress looked very ordinary, and he only brought two servants with him, but when he handed a post to the door, even Yang Zhen could only rush out to greet him in person, and brought people into the study for a secret conversation.

In the study room where there were only two people, Yang Zhen carefully looked at the handsome middle-aged man in his thirties for a long time, and then said, "Uncle Guo came on the orders of the noble concubine?" ”

"Yang Dudu is really knowledgeable, and I admire it." The visitor smiled flatteringly. This person is the elder brother of Zheng Guifei's family, Zheng Yulin. In fact, he is now also a Jinyi Wei Baihu, and he is still Yang Zhen's subordinate. Of course, neither of them would mention this stubble.

After a pause, Zheng Yulin said: "The noble concubine Niangniang has kept in mind the virtue of Yang Dudu to help you several times. This time, Yang Dudu tried his best to overcome public opinion and helped the Son of Heaven to set up the prince, and the concubine Niangniang was deeply impressed, so she ordered me to come and thank you. As he spoke, he took out a box from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen didn't shirk, reached out to take it, opened it, and found that there was a pair of jade beads inside, as well as a few thumb-thick East Pearls, which were also precious, and they were all rewards in the palace. But after a little silence, he excused himself with a grateful face: "The concubine Niangniang's thanks to Zai Xia has been received in my heart." But these are all rewarded by His Majesty, how dare you receive them? ”

"Hey, Yang Dudu, what you have done for the noble concubine and the prince is not worth these few little things. It's just a little bit of caution on the part of the mother. I heard that there are two sons in the Yang Du Governor's Mansion, and these two pieces of jade are the ones they wear. As for these beads, aren't Yang Dudu's two wives and daughters just right to use? ”

The other party has said this, Yang Zhen naturally can't make excuses again, so he can only thank him for accepting this thing. In fact, there is another layer of meaning in accepting this thing, which means that the two sides are really connected. In the future, if there are any people in the court who want to embarrass Zheng Guifei or the crown prince, Yang Zhen will have to stand up for their mother and son.

In fact, Yang Zhen is willing to serve this. After all, whether it is Concubine Zheng or the crown prince, they are people that Wanli loves and values very much, and it is also very beneficial for the future that he can befriend them. Not to mention that once the throne changes, the crown prince becomes the son of heaven, and having this relationship is beneficial to both himself and his descendants.

After that, the exchange was even smoother. Although Zheng Yulin's knowledge of everything is limited, under his deliberate low profile, the relationship between the two quickly went further and began to be called a certain brother.

This is also the side of Yang Zhen that is much more flexible than those court officials. If it were those courtiers, even if Zheng Yulin went to talk to them like this, these people would have to pretend, because in their opinion, a guy like Zheng Yulin who made his fortune by nepotism was not worth mentioning at all. Even befriending it will only tarnish your reputation.

But Yang Zhen has no worries about this. He is not a serious official, plus he doesn't have so many prejudices, and even because he used to mix on the street, he has a common topic with Zheng Yulin, the original gentleman.

So after a conversation, the guests and hosts were happy, and Zheng Yulin's attitude towards Yang Zhen changed from respect at the beginning to affection, and he finally found a real friend.

When he said goodbye and left, Zheng Yulin also made an appointment with Yang Zhen and asked him to come over to the house, and Yang Zhen also agreed.

"So, have you made up your mind to befriend the Zheng family?" Yang Chen asked after listening to his brother's words.

Yang Zhen nodded without concealment: "Not bad." I decided to help Zhu Changxun become the prince before. Now that the matter has been done, isn't it logical and in our best interest to befriend them? ”

"But have you thought about it, if such a thing is spread out, it will be related to your reputation...... I'm afraid that there will soon be some rumors that you have colluded with the Zheng family. ”

"So what?" Yang Zhen looked at his brother disapprovingly and asked, "Could it be that those gossips can still affect me?" To be honest, once the position of the crown prince is established, the Zheng family will soon become the target of many officials, who would dare to chew their tongues on this matter? ”

Such a domineering answer made Yang Chen not know how to answer for a while, so he could only smile bitterly: "You see it very openly......

"I've been through so much, and I've seen it for a long time. I can't let everyone say I'm good, and I can't care about people saying bad things about me behind my back. In that case, let's just pretend that nothing exists. Yang Zhen smiled indifferently.

Looking at his brother's calm appearance, Yang Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I thought that there would be more twists and turns in this matter, but I didn't expect it to be like this." This is a major event that changed the course of history! ”

"Why, big brother, it's been a few days, and you still can't believe this fact?" Yang Zhen asked with some surprise. No wonder Yang Chen hadn't seen him since that morning, obviously he was thinking about it.

Yang Chen nodded: "I thought that from now on, history will be completely different, and I feel uneasy." Although it is still a Wanli year, no one knows what will happen in the next few decades. Originally, he could still guess the course of history, but in this way, he completely lost his foresight, and he was naturally a little confused.

"So what?" Yang Zhen's answer was extremely broad: "Anyway, we know that the Ming Dynasty after this will only be much better than the original, which is enough." The external enemy is gone, and the biggest internal problem of disharmony between kings and ministers has been resolved, and as for those natural disasters and the resulting man-made disasters, we can face them as soon as possible. In this way, can't the Ming Dynasty be more powerful than the original history? ”

As soon as he woke up the person in his dream, Yang Chen nodded vigorously when he heard the words: "What you said is right, why should you care about everything that has been?" Even if we don't know the future, we can know that the future will be very different, and tomorrow will be better! ”

"Tomorrow, it will be even better!" Yang Zhen also nodded happily.
