Want to use Yang Hao?
The officials of the Ming Dynasty in the Wenhua Palace were all a little dumbfounded when they heard that Zhu Youjian was going to summon Yang Hao.
This Yang Hao is a sinner who harmed the country! During the Wanli period, he was arrested and sentenced to death, but it was never executed. How can it be released and used again now? If such a person could make a comeback, would the Ming court still have discipline?
Zhang Weixian, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, hurriedly added: "Your Majesty, this Yang Hao is the guilty official who ruined the country and lost his army. The Liao Dynasty was ruined because of him!"
Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "I know what kind of guy he is...but after all, he is familiar with Liao affairs and Korean affairs, and he is also considered to know the military, so he can still use it. But General Rong can rest assured, I won’t make much use of him.”
In fact, letting Yang Hao become an official would be a "big use"... First of all, this is setting an example of reforming!
Sins like Yang Hao can be revived, let alone others?
Therefore, the guilty and traitorous officials must not lose confidence in life and actively buy indulgences. After atonement, they can continue to work for the Ming Dynasty!
Secondly, Zhu Youjian wanted Yang Hao to help him form the Guards Cavalry-Yang Hao was a civilian official who had led troops at the border for a long time. Although military talent is sparse, he is certainly knowledgeable. And he has a very good relationship with the Tieling Li family (Li Chengliang’s family). Now many of Li Chengliang's descendants are living in Beijing, and it is just in time to gather this group of people through Yang Hao.
We don’t expect these people to be able to fight, but we can use them to train and select the “emperor’s servants”!
The selection of the "emperor's servants" cannot be done carelessly. A "team of experts" must be formed, and Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji, and Huang Degong cannot leave. We still need them here in Beijing!
Therefore, the only ones who can go to Jiubian Army Town to select heroes are Yang Hao and a group of Li family members who are already cold.
In addition, Zhu Youjian also plans to select a group of young officers through the military examination to be responsible for commanding and training the Scout Guards.
And how to take the martial arts exam? You have to listen to the opinions of the old coach Yang Hao on who to choose... Xiong Tingbi has already been cut off, and Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Shi Kefa and others have not experienced it yet. Zhu Youjian really didn't have any useful commanders on hand, so he could only release Yang Hao for use.
The criminal Yang Hao has been imprisoned for eight years and was blackmailed for eight years by a group of Jinyi guards who guarded the prison. His crime was too serious, so there is no possibility of recovery, and besides Koreans, there seems to be no one else. The powerful still remember him. So in the prison, he became a big fat sheep that everyone loved, and everyone wanted to get a handful of wool!
It was quite hairy when I first came in, but now it's all bald. Almost all of his possessions were given to the guards of Jinyiwei.
But the problem is that his bones are still quite strong now, and he doesn't look like he's dying. The court seemed to have forgotten about him... He was sentenced to death, but he was not taken out to be killed, but was imprisoned endlessly! Where does this end?
After decades of hard work as an official, all the property acquired through corruption has been wiped out, so what a worry!
Sometimes he even thought that he might as well take him out and behead him tomorrow... to avoid being extorted by a bunch of jailers.
But it’s not up to him!
Emperor Tianqi didn't care much, and Wei Zhongxian had no grudges against him. He was not a member of the Donglin Party, and he had never impeached Eunuch Wei.
So he waited until Emperor Tianqi was dead, but did not wait for the big day of beheading. It seems that I can only wait slowly and die of old age. In this era, Yang Hao is actually very old. He was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli. He was only 20 years old when he was in high school. What a youthful success! Now 47 years have passed and he is 67 years old... he should be dying of old age.
Just when he thought he was going to die of old age in Jinyiwei's prison, a eunuch suddenly came to take him out.
"This father-in-law... is he nine thousand nine hundred years old and wants to see me?" Yang Hao has been in jail for a long time and doesn't know much about the news outside.
The person who came to mention him was the eunuch newly appointed by Zhu Youjian, named Cao Wenxue. As his name suggests, he looked gentle and gentle.
Hearing Old Man Yang's question, he replied with a smile: "He is not nine thousand nine hundred years old... He ate the courage of a bear and a leopard a few days ago and wanted to rebel! He was caught by the troops led by Long Live Lord and was caught on the spot. Just chop off the head! It was Master Long Live who did it himself!"
"Ah! There is such a thing?" Yang Hao couldn't believe it, "Long Live Lord is so cruel!
Seeing the surprised look on Old Man Yang's face, Eunuch Cao smiled and said: "Old man, don't be afraid. I don't mean to chop off your head when I announce you to the palace. Come with me quickly!"
"Okay..." Yang Hao nodded repeatedly and followed Cao Wenxue out. When he reached the door, he remembered to ask, "Eunuch, will I come back?"
"I don't know," Cao Wenxue shook his head and said with a smile, "Let's go back and tell the jailer that we will keep the cell for you."
"That's good, I've lived in this cell for eight years..." Yang Hao sighed again, "It's been eight years!"
After talking, he left with Cao Wenxue.
The Jinyiwei Prison was just outside the Forbidden City, so not long after leaving, Cao Wenxu led Yang Hao to the Donghua Gate. At this time, Yang Hao discovered that a large group of people had crowded outside Donghua Gate. They were all wearing plain clothes and carrying packages. Under the supervision of eunuchs and soldiers, everyone looked downcast.
How is this going?
When Lao Yangtou was wondering, someone had already recognized him. It seemed that it was Xu Xianchun, the leader of Jinyiwei, who recognized him.
"Look, isn't this Yang Fengyun? Why is he here too?"
"Then you still need to ask? He must be imprisoned in Xiyuan just like us..."
"Can't? How many years has he been out of the cold, and he can still be with us?"
"Why not? If Long Live Master says he can, he can be with us!"
It turns out that Yang Hao met the "60 Fat Sheep"! Of course it was not a chance encounter, but something arranged by Zhu Youjian... We must let the fat sheep see hope of reforming!
Even if you commit a crime like Yang Hao, you can make a new start! So there is still hope for them! As long as you buy more indulgences, you will have a chance to make a comeback!
The eunuch guarding Donghua Gate saw Yang Hao arriving and immediately let him in. Yang Hao followed them in a daze, and when they got outside the Wenhua Hall, they were not allowed in again.
The gate of the Wenhua Palace courtyard is open, and there is heavy security inside and outside the door.
"Old man, please wait a moment. Our family will report first."
Cao Wenxue's respectful attitude towards Yang Hao surprised a group of fat sheep who were being escorted here... What does this mean? Yang Hao is so lucky that he doesn't have to go to jail and can become an official?
"Xuan Yanghao comes to the palace!"
Following the eunuch's summons, Yang Hao, who had been in prison for eight years, stepped into the courtyard of Wenhua Hall in full view of everyone, and was then led to the main hall, where he met Zhu Youjian who was still wearing mourning clothes. .
"The guilty minister Yang Hao comes to see His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live..."
"Hingshen!" A young man's voice came from the front.
Yang Hao's legs and feet were still nimble, and he climbed up without much effort. He stood there and looked at the young emperor furtively.
On the way to the Forbidden City, he had already asked Cao Wenxue and found out that the Ming Dynasty had another emperor who could kill people!
Zhu Youjian was also looking at Yang Hao. After looking at him for a while, he said to him: "Can eight years in prison redeem the sin of Liaodong's defeat?"
"Can't..." Yang Hao shook his head quickly and knelt down again.
"Don't kneel, stand and speak." Zhu Youjian said again, "Yang Hao, tell me, why did Liao Town deteriorate so quickly after the Korean War?"
This is indeed a problem! Liao Zhen's performance in the Korean War was not bad! Why did it decay so quickly?
Yang Hao smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Your Majesty, I thought that Liao Town was weakened by the Korean War, and the Li family in Tieling gradually collapsed, so they couldn't fight anymore... To put it bluntly, it's actually The Battle of Korea destroyed Liao Town and wiped out all the Li family's belongings. After this battle, due to various reasons, there was no way to replenish the losses in Liao Town, let alone restore the Li family's strength..."
