Chapter 631: Encouraging the Emperor to Be Disgusted with Government
When Yang Ze entered the side hall, he asked someone to move a seat, and he sat in the middle of the side hall, not for anything else, just to let the ministers see him, he knew that at this time there would be ministers who would come to show their loyalty and come to him, and he was very willing to be taken refuge, whether it was false or false, what he needed was a seemingly huge group to deter the opposition forces in the Gyeonggi region.
The coup d'Γ©tat in Chang'an City has just ended, and the results will not affect the Gyeonggi region for a while, but the officials in the Gyeonggi region should have already received the news, either on the way here, or they are about to start thinking about other things, and if there is a huge interest group around him at this time, then the officials in the Gyeonggi region will not dare to move much for the time being, and the situation will be relatively stable for a period of time.
And a seemingly incomparably huge group, there are too many characters in it, it will cause all kinds of contradictions, and after a period of time, it will make people who have a heart find out that in fact, he is just a paper tiger, and it is not very scary, as long as someone dares to shoot him, then his paper tiger is easy to be smashed, at least it seems that it can be easily smashed!
And this impression was left by Yang Ze to the vassal king of the Li family in other places, although the vassal king of the Li family was hit enough by Empress Dugu and was killed to pieces, but those who can survive and continue to be the vassal king in the fiefdom must be very remarkable figures.
Either she is very good at pretending to be a grandson, so that Empress Dugu thinks that it doesn't matter if such a person is killed or not, or she is so strong that Empress Dugu is afraid of three points, as long as such a person does not rebel and is obedient to Empress Dugu, then for Empress Dugu, who is only an emperor for one dynasty and cannot leave the throne to the Dugu family, such a vassal king of the Li family will be alive if she is alive, anyway, as soon as she dies, the country is still the Li family, but there are very few such vassal kings. And when Empress Dugu was alive, she was also very honest.
The vassal king of the Li family, who Empress Dugu didn't want to move, couldn't move Yang Ze if he didn't have a special charge, so if he wanted to kill such a vassal king, there would be no other reason than to force the vassal king to rebel, and at this time, Li Chongjiu would be used!
Stabilizing the situation in the central part of the country, and then showing weakness to the local vassal king, was Yang Ze's plan. When the layout is completed, Yang Ze will immediately start a war, sweep away the Li family's royal family, and the throne will be transferred from the Li family to the Yang family, and it will be able to pass on the throne from generation to generation, and it must not be like Empress Dugu, only one generation.
As soon as Yang Ze sat down in the hall, many ministers couldn't wait to come in, congratulating Yang Ze on being a concubine. The ministers were also very conscious, and they came in according to their ranks, and several people slapped their horses at Yang Ze in waves. After saying a few words, the next wave of people is replaced, which can be regarded as very efficient.
Yang Ze faced the people who came to pat him on the back, it was all a set of rhetoric. As soon as the ministers said a word of congratulations, he would say, "When the king becomes a horse, he will take up the post of captain of the horse." At that time, the authority was handed over to His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be the most powerful prince in the history of my Dafang Empire. β
The ministers who heard this were either very embarrassed, or immediately expressed their loyalty, saying that Yang Taiwei did not have to hand over his authority, and that the official position of Captain Yang had no real power, but as long as it was both, Yang Taiwei still had to be the main position of Taiwei, and the country needed Yang Taiwei, the prince could not do it, and he could not control the military power well, so he did not have to give him the power!
Yang Ze is naturally modest, and he clearly "hints", let's go and shoot His Royal Highness the Prince's ass, and then shoot mine, then my ass will be smashed!
His contrived posture is simply too obvious, the ministers are all extremely smart, and they can see Yang Ze's thoughts clearly at once, this Yang Taiwei will never hand over his authority, and he must consolidate his authority, but how to consolidate the law?
Since Taiwei Yang hinted so obviously, then everyone should think of a way for Lord Taiwei, otherwise why would people hint at everyone?
And the ministers also understand one thing, since everyone came in to shoot Yang Ze's ass, then don't go to shoot the prince, otherwise don't look at Yang Ze's mouth and say that you should go, go and congratulate His Royal Highness the prince, but if anyone really goes now, then it is estimated that Yang Taiwei will attack whom.
Therefore, even if you want to "congratulate" His Royal Highness the Prince, don't go now, wait a few days, go secretly, don't let people see it!
I can't wait for all the ministers to come in and pat themselves, but in just two quarters of an hour, the banquet will begin, of course there are not so many people sitting in the Taiji Hall, only important ministers like Yang Ze can enter, and ordinary ministers are seated in the small square in front of the Taiji Palace.
Because the palace has just experienced a coup d'Γ©tat, and the imperial kitchen has no preparations, it is said that the banquet will be opened, to be honest, it is still quite a test for the imperial chefs, but the imperial kitchen is the imperial kitchen, in a short period of time, hundreds of tables of banquets have been prepared, the wine is ready-made, as long as the dishes look sumptuous, the taste is good or not, and the heat is not there, then there is no need to care, anyway, the ministers are not for addiction at this time!
A banquet, there was no unpleasant thing to happen, Li Chongjiu listened to Wu Youren's words, very stopped, and even gave Yang Fa a glass of wine, no trouble at all, and Cai Cai did not look at Yang Ze during the banquet, on the contrary, it looked very solemn, it may be that the queen told her something, in short, she is very princessy, dignified and generous, at least on the surface!
After the banquet, the sky was already dark, the moon was on the branches, the banquet was over, Li Yan and the queen went back to the harem, they would not go to the Dugu Empress's bedroom to live, there was still the body of the Dugu Empress, and there was no way to live there, the palace was so big, you could live anywhere.
And Li Chongjiu went to the East Palace, he is the prince, of course he has to go to the East Palace, where Li Yan lived in the original place, it has been empty all these years, except for the little eunuch who is responsible for guarding the palace, there is no one else, Liang Dazhong assigned him more than a dozen small eunuchs, Li Chongjiu did not refuse, he only let the bearded strong man into the East Palace, gave this bearded strong man the name of the imperial guard, let him protect in the East Palace, Liang Dazhong did not object, anyway, he will send someone to be optimistic about Li Chongjiu, and Li Chongjiu, the only confidant.
Caicai is different from others, she insisted on going to the dormitory of Empress Dugu, and continued to guard the spirit of Empress Dugu, what others are unwilling to do, she will continue to do. Until the Dugu Empress is buried, she will be buried in the ground!
Yang Ze went to the Ministry of War, he didn't have a palace yet, it must be too late to cover it now, and he didn't want to occupy someone else's, so he simply went to the Ministry of War.
Yang Ze called several big generals over, and first straightened out the roster of generals of the Eighth Army of the Praetorian Guard. However, it didn't take a few days to straighten out the list, it was a dream, but fortunately, the Praetorian Guards were all Yang Ze's people, so there was no hurry.
The key is that within a month, Yang Ze will deal with the soldiers and horses of the prefectures and counties in the Gyeonggi region, although they are all some chicken-ribbed troops, but there are quite a few of them, and the soldiers and horses of the entire Gyeonggi Prefecture and counties are combined. There were also 20,000 people, most of whom were city gate guards, and these guards were under the orders of local state and county officials, and belonged to the local soldiers. Therefore, if Yang Ze wants to deal with these soldiers and horses, he must first get the magistrate, and this matter must be fast, within a month. It has to be done.
It was tidied up until the second half of the night, and it was too late, so Yang Ze let everyone disperse. He went to bed to rest, Mu Gen brought him foot washing water, and while serving Yang Ze to wash his feet, Mu Gen asked: "Master, you are going to be a concubine, do you want to bring the master and Mrs. to the capital?" β
Yang Ze had long had the idea of taking his parents to live in the capital for a long time, and his parents were also very willing, but some time ago, Yang Ze's official position was unstable, and he was born in the army, so he dispelled the idea of letting his parents live in Chang'an for a long time.
After thinking about it for a long time, only to finish washing his feet, Yang Ze still shook his head and said, "It's not proper, let's let my father and mother stay in my hometown for a little longer, and when things are arranged, when Caicai and I officially get married, let them enter Beijing." β
Mu Gen thought for a while and said, "Master, are you afraid that if you let the lord and lady enter Beijing, you will be harmed by Li Chongjiu's faction, or use the lord and lady to blackmail you?" β
Yang Ze said: "Yes, the eldest princess probably had this idea at the beginning, but now that Li Chongjiu has been replaced, he has nothing to be afraid of, but Wu Youren is not a particular person, he can do everything." β
After a pause, Yang Ze said again: "Didn't I tell you, in the future, you can't call Li Chongjiu's name anymore, but call him His Royal Highness the Prince, even in private, you have to call him His Royal Highness the Prince, understand?" β
Mu Gen hurriedly agreed, took the basin, and went out to pour the foot-washing water, but after pouring the foot-washing water, Mugen remembered, just now the master didn't let him call Li Chongjiu's name, but the master himself called Li Chongjiu! He shook his head, sleepy, and found a place to sleep.
After Yang Ze went to bed, he thought of Caicai, I don't know how this little girl is now, maybe she is also thinking about herself in the palace, right? It's a pity that the Dugu Empress died, according to the rules, she must keep filial piety for three years, and she can't talk about marriage or anything within three years.
But it doesn't matter, I will always find a reason, for example, Empress Dugu left a verbal edict to let him and Caicai get married as soon as possible, this kind of thing is on the lips, you can say whatever you want, but even if you are thick-skinned, Caicai is so sad, don't let her keep filial piety to Empress Dugu, I'm afraid it won't work.
We'll have to wait at least a year!
Before Yang Ze went to sleep, he sighed, he estimated that a year was almost the same, and he would make good use of this year's time to kill Li Chongjiu and those Li family vassal kings who would definitely not be obedient!
In the next few days, the government and government were in recovery, and the funeral of Empress Dugu was also carried out in an orderly manner under the operation of Wo Gao, although Wo Gao's character was not very good, but it was still very efficient, and the funeral of Empress Dugu was quite beautiful, at least Caicai was quite satisfied.
But if the Dugu Empress wants to be buried, it will take seven seven or forty-nine days, this can not be sloppy, the emperor is not an ordinary person, he must not be buried after the first seven days, and then burn the paper at three or seven o'clock, which is absolutely not possible.
In these seven seven forty-nine days, Li Yan was also unable to go to the court council, he should be too sad, kneeling in front of the spirit of the Dugu Empress every day, crying non-stop, crying until he fell into a coma, and then he didn't eat, didn't drink water, and had to persuade others to desperately persuade him before every meal, and then he was willing to eat so little, a royal funeral was held, if the emperor himself didn't lose ten pounds and eight pounds, it couldn't be called filial piety.
According to such unspoken rules of royal funerals, Li Yan can't go to the court to govern, but he is an idle person, so he doesn't go to the Taiji Hall to hold a court meeting, but only meets important ministers in his imperial study every day.
As for the matter of keeping the spirit for Empress Dugu, Li Yan generously handed it over to Caicai, and asked Caicai to do the important matter of the wake for the spirit, he trusts Caicai very much, his own daughter, who does he trust her!
Li Yan is very relaxed, just take a short time every day to see the minister, but even if it is a small time every day, after a few days he feels annoyed, he is not good at dealing with people, and the things brought by the ministers every day are very difficult to do, often so that he does not know what to do, at first he was a little patient, and the more he later, the more impatient he became, and finally one morning, he did not go to the imperial study, only sent a small eunuch to inform the minister who had been waiting here for a long time.
Among the ministers, there is naturally Yang Ze, strictly speaking, there are few ministers who can come to the imperial study, and those who can come are Yang Ze's people, especially Shangshu Ling Shen Deyin, who has not fallen again and again, and every time he presents the most difficult thing to Li Yan, which gives Li Yan the most headache, and the emperor is afraid of seeing Shen Deyin.
Yang Ze stood under a tree in the courtyard of the imperial study, and after listening to the words of the little eunuch, he did not leave immediately, but waited for Shen Deyin to come over.
Shen Deyin said: "Taiwei, it seems that the emperor will go to the imperial study less and less in the future, even if the court meeting is reopened in the future, he may not be very diligent!" β
He didn't speak loudly, but he didn't deliberately lower his voice, Yang Ze was standing under the tree, the branches and leaves of this tree were not thick, it was impossible to hide people, and the yard was big, so he was not afraid of the wall and ears.
Yang Ze smiled slightly and said: "The emperor is not a diligent person, you have forgotten that the first emperor abolished him because of something." β
Shen Deyin nodded, one of the reasons why Empress Dugu abolished Li Yan was that Li Yan was too lazy and refused to go to the court every day to govern, and now there is no Empress Dugu, with Li Yan's temper, if he wants him to come to the court every day to govern, then he is absolutely unwilling and unable to do it, after all, he is also an old man.
Yang Ze said: "In the past few days, it has been really difficult for you, I have found so many tricky things, if it weren't for the fact that things are too difficult to solve, it is estimated that the emperor will not be tired of politics so quickly." β
Shen Deyin hurriedly said: "This is what the lower officials should do." β
Of course, this is what Yang Ze gave him, in order to make the emperor "retreat in the face of difficulties", only if Li Yan is tired of politics, Yang Ze can control the government and do things!
Yang Ze said again: "Tomorrow, I will definitely think of inviting the emperor to come to the imperial study again, and explain your affairs, and we must do it well!" β
"Xiaguan saved!" Shen Deyin nodded in agreement, Yang Ze made a plan with him, and now it is about to start gradually unfolding.
Yang Ze looked up at the sky and said, "The weather is good today, I'll go and see the princess." β
Shen Deyin bent down and sent Yang Ze away, and when he raised his head, a smile appeared on his face, thinking: "It's better to be young, the most beautiful thing in this world is youth!" (To be continued......) R1292
