Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, from now on, even if the Young Master does not have a very important position in Nangong, it will be much easier for him to do things in the future."
Zhu Qiyu calmly listened to Shu Liang's narration before finally raising his head.
It should be said that the incident in Bodu was indeed unexpected by Zhu Qiyu. However, the so-called political skill lies in being able to adapt to changes and take advantage of the situation.
Taking the opportunity to attack and reduce Nangong's political influence is one thing, but this can be seen clearly.
As for the dark line, it’s Zhu Yi.
If Zhu Qiyu wanted to give him the title of Duke Chengguo, he could give it to him at any time.
However, how to give it is a big question.
It is easy to regain the title, but what happens after the restoration? Where should Zhu Yi go next?
Under the current situation of the court, with Zhu Yi's involvement in court affairs, it is no longer possible to stay alone.
When taking back the title of Duke Chengguo, he must ensure that he can help Zhu Yi and not become a knife in the hands of others.
All Zhu Yi is doing now is to become the sword-wielder on the side of the Supreme Emperor. Or even if it is not the sword of the entire noble family, at least the sword of the Duke of Chengguo will be in his own hands after this battle. hands.
"Now that the play is on, let's keep singing!"
Hearing the emperor's words, Shu Liang's eyes flashed with excitement, but he suppressed it immediately and said.
"Your Majesty, are you really going to let them do things in secret and ignore them?"
It has to be said that with the internal support of Mr. Zhu, there are almost no secrets in the plans of the Supreme Emperor, and they are clearly presented in front of Zhu Qiyu.
"They just rely on me to take care of the overall situation and don't want to break up with them. But since they want to embarrass themselves, why not go with their wishes?"
After taking a deep look at Shu Liang, Zhu Qiyu said calmly.
"yes."
…………
With the end of the spring hunting, the imperial court was in turmoil for a while, but calm soon returned.
After all, although Bodu's escape was not a trivial matter, the chaos on the grassland would not affect the Ming Dynasty for the time being.
A few days later, spring and scenery dawned.
Outside the city gate, a group of people stopped, and a man got off the carriage. He was wearing a moon-white robe, with bright eyebrows and starry eyes. He looked like the breeze and the moon, and he looked very noble.
However, it was already mid-spring, but he was still not thin. He was full of heroic spirit, but he could not hide the slight trace of illness on his face.
Changping Hou Mansion, Yang Jie!
Or, it should be called now, the envoy of Jinyiwei Town and the envoy of Youjun Town, Yang Jie!
In the end, Yang Hong was unable to turn down this job. However, in name, Yang Jie still rushed to Xuanfu to select officers and soldiers for the avant-garde of the government army.
However, compared with the other team that had set off early, his team had many more guards.
"Sir, if we don't start our journey, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the inn before evening?"
The sun had begun to set in the west. Yang Jie stood in front of the carriage, facing the city gate, never moving. The person who spoke was named Liu Hong. He was about sixty years old. If you didn't look at the front, he looked like a kind man. However, if you turn to the front of the old man, you can see that there is a hideous scar on his forehead. It is just a hair away and cuts across his right eye. It is very frightening to look at it.
This is a veteran. Although he comes from a poor background, he is actually a brave man. On the battlefield, he saved Yang Hong's life more than once.
Now that he is older, he followed Yang Hong back to Beijing. It was originally agreed that he would spend his old age in the Yang Mansion. Although he was not a member of the Yang family, whether it was Yang Jie, Yang Jun, Yang Neng and others, They all regard him as their elder.
This time out of Beijing, the journey was difficult and dangerous, and Yang Hong was worried about his son. After returning home, he hesitated again and again, and shamelessly invited this son out again.
"Uncle Liu, it's still early. I believe that those who are waiting will definitely wait."
"If you really can't catch up with the inn, then there's no harm in sleeping in the wild."
Yang Jie had always been polite and very polite to Liu Hong, but Liu Hong knew that apart from his inherent deficiencies, this second young master had a temperament very much like that of a general. No one could change his decision.
So, he stopped trying to persuade, just sighed, turned around and went down to find someone to prepare. If he couldn't catch up with the inn and needed to stay in the wild, then the surrounding defenses would have to change. Also, he would reveal himself even more. The young master is in poor health and needs to be extra careful...
However, when Liu Hong left, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the middle-aged man standing behind Yang Jie, who seemed to be an ordinary-looking, sword-wielding military captain.
This person is not simple!
Although he looked just like an ordinary Jin Yiwei, Liu Hong's intuition from hundreds of battles on the battlefield told Liu Hong that this person was an expert.
This intuition makes no sense, because although the man in front of him has a sinewy face, his muscles are flabby and his steps are sloppy. From anyone's perspective, he is just an ordinary person who is just messing around.
However, only a person like Liu Hong, who was rolled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, could feel that this person must have more than one life on his hands!
If he had been young, he might have been able to compete with this person, but now, he probably wouldn't be able to survive under his hands.
After sighing that there was indeed a hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the imperial guards, Liu Hong calmed down and prepared. This man was brought back by the old Marquis, which meant there was no problem.
As long as he is here, nothing will happen to the second young master...
The sun kept going down, and Liu Hong had already arranged everything. When he turned around, he found that Yang Jie was still standing where he was. The person he was waiting for had not arrived yet.
Although he didn't know who the second young master was waiting for, Liu Hong felt dissatisfied in his heart.
In the Yang family, both Yang Hong and others treat Liu Hong as an elder of the family. However, Liu Hong himself knows what is appropriate and never oversteps his bounds.
However, one thing is that he had a family in his early years. He had a wife and a son. The wife was virtuous and the son was smart and studious. However, he was later robbed by the bandits and disappeared. Since then, Liu Hong has never had a family again. , but vowed to kill all the bandits.
Although this was not appropriate, after Liu Hong arrived in the capital, he did vaguely see the shadow of the diligent child he had been in Yang Jie.
In fact, this is the reason why Liu Hong is willing to go to the border again this time. He truly treats Yang Jie as his own junior.
Seeing Yang Jie standing in front of the city gate for so long, supporting his sick body, it was normal for him to feel angry.
Just when Liu Hong was hesitating whether to go up and persuade him again, smoke and dust rose in the distance, and an aristocratic carriage came towards the city gate and finally stopped not far away.
Seeing this carriage, Yang Jie finally had a smile on his face.
"Young Master, you are finally here!"
This carriage is the carriage of Duke Chengguo.
The clouds were rolling in the distance. Zhu Yi got off the carriage and looked at Yang Jie in the distance with a somewhat complicated expression.
The two of them were dozens of steps apart, looking at each other from a distance. After a moment, Yang Jie stepped forward and came to Zhu Yi.
"Young Master, long time no see!"
"Yeah, long time no see!"
Zhu Yi looked at Yang Jie in front of her, her tone also full of sighs.
During the spring hunt a few days ago, Yang Jie did not go because of his poor health. However, even so, it was only a few months before Yang Jie took the initiative to enter the Duke's Mansion.
However, in just these few months, things have changed so much that it feels like a lifetime ago.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Yi said.
"I thought I shouldn't have come."
The words sounded a bit awkward, as if they were said incorrectly. However, Zhu Yi knew that he was not wrong.
Yang Jie set out for Xuan Mansion today, he knew it.
However, he did not come to see him off.
Because...it's inappropriate!
Today, the Duke of Chengguo is a loyal loyalist to the Supreme Emperor, both inside and outside the court, while the Marquis of Changping is favored by the emperor again and has been repeatedly entrusted with important tasks.
Their two families have different paths and should not be together.
Therefore, Zhu Yi had no plans to come.
However, just in the early morning, he received a message from the Yang Mansion, saying that Yang Jie invited him to meet at the city gate.
Zhu Yi hesitated for a long time, and finally chose this time, which was long overdue.
When he thought about it, Yang Jie must have already set off by this time, but he didn't expect...
"The agreement between Yang and the young master has not yet been completed, how can he break his promise?"
The young man opposite him was as tall as jade and as gentle as jade.
Zhu Yi breathed out softly and laughed as well. No wonder the person in front of him had no power to restrain a chicken, but he was still able to get around among the noble disciples.
Not to mention anything else, this warm and thoughtful feeling is really comfortable!
With his eyes flashing, Young Master Zhu pondered.
"The Yang family has fulfilled its promise. It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. Zhu is not an ignorant person. The agreement between you and me is just to do our best and we can't force the result."
Back then, Yang Jie took the initiative to come to the door and joined forces with Zhu Yi to use Ren Li to be imprisoned in exchange for the peace of the Changping Marquis Mansion. In exchange, Yang Hong would petition the court to rectify Zhu Yong's name in the battle at Yao'erling, and then regain his title for the Chengguo Duke's Mansion. .
This is a deal, but it is not fair to the Chengguo Government.
Because, under Zhu Yi's operation, the two princes joined forces and took away all Ren Li's support, achieving what the Changping Houfu wanted.
However, when it came time for the Changping Marquis Mansion to fulfill its contract, things did not go smoothly.
It is true that Yang Hong wrote a memorial and recounted the gains and losses of the Battle of Yaoerling. However, the content of his memorial was too broad and reached the level of characterization of the Battle of Tumu, so it was naturally rejected by the emperor.
Later in the Spring Hunt, although Yang Hong mentioned the matter again, in the end, the Chengguo Palace did not finally get the title back.
If this matter had been the previous Zhu Yi, I'm afraid he would have already gotten angry and wanted to seek an explanation from the Yang family.
However, now he is very calm.
Because of this situation, he had already expected that this transaction would require the Chengguo Palace to pay first and the Changping Marquis Palace to benefit first.
As for whether the other party will do their best in the future...
The knife hanging over the head has been removed, can we still expect others to have the determination to risk it all?
Of course, Zhu Yi himself had his own considerations when he initially agreed to this deal, that's all.
To put it bluntly, his real control has never been with the Yang family. Letting the Yang family come forward is just an opportunity to provoke this matter.
But now, the situation has changed again. Zhu Yi can naturally wait calmly whether this transaction can be successful or not.
However, seeing Zhu Yi's calm expression, Yang Jie frowned and said.
"Young Master, do you think that there was something wrong with the memorial that my father submitted and that he did not try his best?"
Zhu Yi didn't speak. He didn't want to be at odds with the Yang family, but there was no need to maintain a superficial relationship in a lowly manner.
Seeing this situation, Yang Jie sighed, shook his head and said.
"My father also has difficulties in this matter, and it is right for the young master to be angry."
"However, Yang wants to ask the young master to believe that the Yang family is by no means a treacherous family. Yang will definitely get the title of Duke Chengguo back for the young master."
"Then Zhu, I would like to thank Prince Yang in advance."
Zhu Yi cupped his hands, neither cold nor hot.
It should be said that during this period, Mr. Zhu's life was indeed not very good.
Because of the incident in Nangong, the dignified Eunuch Shu Liang, the admiral of Dongchang, was blocked by Eunuch Zhu, and then he started looking for trouble everywhere.
In just a few days, many shops in the Chengguo Palace were requisitioned by purchasing eunuchs from all over the country, and all kinds of gangsters appeared in farms and homes, causing trouble and causing trouble.
In addition, rumors spread vaguely from nowhere in the capital, saying that Duke Cheng's mansion would be demoted by the emperor in a short time. It was also said that Eunuch Shu of Dongchang had said that who would dare to support Cheng Guo? The Duke's Mansion is against Dongchang.
Under this situation, Zhu Yi was indeed worried about all kinds of things during this period. Although he was running around, he also received a lot of rejections.
He had heard Yang Jie's chest-beating words for help countless times, but the ones that really worked were very limited.
Seeing this situation, Yang Jie sighed and said.
"It's okay if the young master doesn't believe it. However, in any case, Yang has already said that if I go to the border fortress and get some credit, I will go to the book to ask for a title for Duke Chengguo when I return."
“A gentleman’s promise weighs more than a thousand catties!”
"Young Master, say goodbye!"
No amount of explanations are as useful as actions.
After saying what he wanted to say, Yang Jie cupped his hands and without much hesitation, turned around and got on the carriage.
Looking at the slowly moving team in the distance, Zhu Yi also stood in the distance for a long time without saying a word.
Yang Jie's last words obviously meant something. Perhaps his trip to Beijing was not just to select candidates for the Young Army?
As a result, Zhu Yi had an inexplicable thought in his mind. Maybe he really had his own plan and wanted to fulfill his original promise?
However, he soon shook his head slightly and laughed at himself.
Yes or no, what does it matter?
He had never thought of relying on the Yang family before, and he would never think about it in the future.
Even if Yang Jie wants to fulfill his promise, it will not be because of pure faith. Now that the young army is about to be established, he, Yang Jie, and Sun Yong will all become subordinate officials of the Prince's Mansion. It would be hard to believe if he said his actions had nothing to do with this matter.
But having said that, Yang Jie has Yang Jie's plans, and he also has his own considerations. Born in a noble family, who can't help himself?
Watching the team disappear from his sight, a different emotion arose in Zhu Yi's heart. He stood there until the sun began to set. He sighed softly and said.
"Go home!"
