Yang Chen's hearty performance at the early court meeting not only instantly reversed the extremely unfavorable situation for Yang Zhen, but also raised him to a new height, not to mention Li Fuzhuo or other officials in the court, even Zhang Xueyan, who hated Yang Zhen to the bone and wanted to take the opportunity to be ashamed, did not dare to say a word about Yang Zhen's in the end.

Although they carried the banner of morality and benevolence to slander Yang Zhen's actions in every way, compared with the tragic situation encountered by the people of the Ming Dynasty, these are really nothing. After all, they are officials of the Ming Dynasty, how can they dare to say anything to repay their grievances with virtue when they know how inhumane the Tartars are and how many innocent people they have killed?

Not to mention that it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to adopt their suggestions, once the matter spreads, I am afraid that they will be regarded as traitors by the people of the world, and they will inevitably provoke the condemnation of countless people, which is not their original intention of doing all this.

Officials sometimes don't care much about what the people say, but they still attach great importance to their reputation and reputation among the people. If this incident is really suspected of being suspicious of their intentions towards the Tartars, I am afraid that the positions of these officials will not be stable.

Everything is based on protecting one's own interests, following this, the previous menacing statement, shouting and shouting to kill Yang Zhen disappeared in a blink of an eye, as if it had never happened. And Yang Chen, who was not valued in the past, had a great reputation in the officialdom, and he had the momentum to overpower his headquarters Shangshu, that is, the emperor, and he was also impressed by him in the next few days, and his attitude was much closer.

As a result, those officials who were only secretly taking refuge and did not dare to express their position came to the fore one after another, and took this opportunity to participate in the impeachment of Yang Zhen, and really participated in many unlucky officials.

In this regard, a group of officials led by Zhang Xueyan were naturally very angry, and even plotted to fight back again. But at this moment, another news came back, and they immediately died down again.

Yang Zhen actually took the risk in person as a messenger and led people into the grassland desert, vowing to eradicate the disaster for the Ming Dynasty and vowed to seek justice for the people who suffered and died tragically!

When this fact became known to all the officials and people in the capital, Yang Zhen's reputation reached an unprecedented high.

If it weren't for the country, who would be willing to take such a big risk? He is the imperial court's envoy, the right and left hand trusted by the Son of Heaven, as long as he stays in the Great Equal, the people he sends into the grassland will bring him credit and prestige, and no one will take the greatest credit from him.

And now, he actually risked his own danger to kill the grassland, to fight against those ferocious and barbaric Tartars, to kill the enemy for the Ming Dynasty, such a move for the country, who dares to say that he is not a great loyal minister? Who would dare to say that he had ulterior motives?

The Son of Heaven even took the opportunity to greatly commend Yang Zhen, and for a while, both officialdom and people were full of praise for him, and no other noise could be heard. As for the anti-Yang faction led by Zhang Xueyan, they could only hold their tails and be human beings at this time, and they did not dare to have any more opposition or dissatisfaction.

However, as for Yang Chen, who has a close relationship with Yang Zhen, or Luo Yueying and Zhang Jingyun, they would rather him be impeached than risk him to fight with the Mongolian people. It's a pity that they in Beijing can't dissuade them from changing all this.

"Erlang, why are you taking such a risk? Do you know that my sister and I are worried about you......" In the backyard of the Yang Mansion, Luo Yueying, who was holding a pair of children, sighed very worriedly, her eyebrows full of worry.

"Second brother, you don't have to come, as long as you send these brothers into the desert, it will be enough to make the Tartars suffer enough." Nibbling on the leg of lamb in his hand, Cai Yingyang said to Yang Zhen with some puzzlement.

It was a month after they entered the grasslands. Under Yang Zhen's instruction and command, their 2,000 elites did not break into pieces like other people, and their troops advanced in separate ways. They didn't even bother to look for the small tribes scattered across the steppe, and only when such tribes appeared in their path would they be completely wiped out.

What's even more incomprehensible to his subordinates is that Yang Zhen also gave the order to walk day and night, all the way to the center of the grassland, depending on the situation, obviously going towards what goal.

After more than a month of rushing, everyone finally couldn't bear it anymore, so they asked Cai Yingyang to come to Yang Zhen to listen to the news.

After glancing at Cai Yingyang, and then sweeping the surrounding henchmen in the brocade guards, Yang Zhen unconsciously showed a smile: "You finally can't help it?" Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you, but I'm doing this for two purposes. โ€

"But what?" Some other people didn't care about the possibility of being punished by Yang Zhen, so they hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"One of them, of course, is to deal with the Tartars. What do you think I'm doing this for after the year? Yang Zhen also took a golden roasted leg of lamb and ate it in a big gulp, and fat kept dripping from his mouth.

"In order to weaken the strength of the Tartars, so as to ensure the security of my Ming border?"

"Avenge the people and soldiers who died in my Ming Dynasty?"

"Fight back for their sudden offense against my Xuanfu and Datong that day?" Everyone gave their own judgments word by word.

Yang Zhen nodded lightly while eating the meat, then shook his head again, took a leather bag and took a sip of wine, and then wiped his mouth and said, "What you say makes sense, but it is not my ultimate goal." โ€

"What is your ultimate goal, Governor?" Everyone asked in surprise.

Yang Zhen was not in a hurry to give an answer, but glanced at them and said, "You should know all the changes that have happened on the grassland in recent years, right?" It turned out to be a plate of loose sand, looking at the Tartar who no longer had much threat to my Ming Dynasty, suddenly changed his appearance, and actually gathered a lot of strength, we can't underestimate this.

"Especially this time, they were able to raise troops to attack Xuanfu and Datong one after another in such a winter, which shows how united they are, which is completely unimaginable in the past. And all this is because of the rise of the tribe called the Gai Beggar, and I don't want another Genghis Khan on the steppe. โ€

Only then did everyone understand how far-reaching the matter Yang Zhen was considering, and they all nodded: "What the Governor said is very true, we really can't take this matter lightly, and we must extinguish it before they are really strong." โ€

"But the second brother...... What does this have to do with your own deep drenching into the desert? Cai Yingyang was still struggling with this, so he quickly asked again. This is also a question in the hearts of other people, so many people have their eyes on Yang Zhen's face, waiting for him to give an explanation.

If it was in the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division in Beijing, or in the Datong Daming City, these brocade guards would not dare to say so, after all, the gap between them and Yang Zhen was too big, how could they dare to be so presumptuous? But now in the grassland desert, everyone's relationship has become much closer, more like comrades-in-arms than superiors and subordinates with strong barriers.

Yang Zhen didn't think it was wrong about this, what he wanted was such a feeling of unity, so he smiled and said, "Do you remember how I used to train you in the capital?" โ€

Hearing him suddenly mention this matter, everyone was shocked, even though it was the height of summer, many people still had some chills on their backs.

In the past few years, in addition to ordinary drills, Yang Zhen has also deliberately selected an elite team of Jinyi guards and led them to do harsh training that made other elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty daunting. What they have learned is the ability of assassination and raiding, especially night fighting, which is their best skill. But all this was practiced by these nearly 2,000 brocade guards for countless days and nights, and just thinking about the hard work at that time made people's hearts chill.

"Actually, I had a plan for this a few years ago, I want to make Jinyiwei truly a sword for my Ming Dynasty, not only to deal with those officials in the DPRK and China, but also to kill foreign enemies!" Yang Zhen said, and there was a cold glow in his eyes that made people dare not look at each other.

After a pause, he continued: "The people sent out to kill the tribes on the steppe before were just a bait. I believe that in this case, the Gai Beggars will not be able to withstand the pressure and send many men to find our people, and this is when they are at their weakest! โ€

The people around him had already understood his intentions, but what Yang Zhen really wanted to deal with was the Gai Qi Tribe, a big tribe that united the Mongolian people!

Yang Zhen swept everyone again: "And you, although you usually perform well, but after all, you lack something, I'm still not at ease." This time, I need to fight to get rid of my henchmen in the Ming court, so I naturally need to come in person. โ€

"Governor, we will do our best to uproot that beggar department!" Everyone hurriedly said.

Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "Very good." So next, we still have to be careful not to alarm the other tribes in the steppe, only in this way can we give the enemy a fatal blow when we finally attack! โ€

"Subordinates obey!"

"By the way, second brother, you said that you came here for two purposes, but what about the other one?" Cai Yingyang quickly asked again.

Yang Zhen smiled hesitantly: "This second reason is by the way." Those guys in the DPRK and China will inevitably be dissatisfied with my decision this time, and may even take the opportunity to disadvantage me. Although I have other arrangements, I still can't guarantee it, so I can only make them dare not say anything to me. Now that I'm in danger, both the government and the opposition will see me as a hero, so those guys naturally have to keep their mouths shut. โ€

Everyone nodded suddenly, but at the same time, there was a sigh in their hearts, Jinyiwei's reputation is really not good, even if he is the governor of his own family, he still has to consider a lot of things......
