Yang Jian took a facekerchief from the side, soaked it in the warm soup, put it around his neck, then leaned back and half-lyed, closing his eyes.
"Why else? Ye Lansheng and Ma Xuanlin wanted to embarrass him, so he chose to use merchant methods to directly cut off each other's financial path. Haha, are you trying to make Ye Lansheng and Ma Xuanlin drink from the northwest wind?"
Yang Xiu Sheng was not that sensitive to these twists and turns, and he couldn't think it through in a short time, so he asked: "Isn't the Spirit King afraid of revenge? Isn't it irrational to do this at such a critical period?"
In Yang Xiusheng's view, Ye Lansheng is now the head of the civil service, and it is easy to imagine how much power he holds. Yang Shu was a little out of his mind to offend such a high-ranking figure at this juncture of the royal family's "big exam". Anyway, Yang Xiu Sheng's first reaction was to disagree.
But the emperor smiled happily. Yang Xiu Sheng didn't understand it for the time being, but he saw it clearly and explained: "Yang Shu is trying to clear his name."
"Registration?"
"That's right. Ye Lansheng asked Ma Xuanlin to tamper with the Song family, a big businessman under Yang Shu. The method was to frame him. However, it is not known yet that the framer was not Ye Lansheng but someone else. Yang Shu's confrontation with Ye Lansheng was to prove it. He has the ability to protect those who follow him, and he is also showing his strength, proving that he is not afraid of the dignified left prime minister and the Minister of Punishment.
I'm confident, there are two of them. One is that I gave him the power to tighten money and food supplies before. With this great power in hand, it was impossible for the local government to stand up to him, which in turn weakened Ye Lansheng's influence on the local establishment. After all, following Ye Lansheng may not necessarily bring direct benefits, but offending Yang Shu will definitely lead to immediate suffering. It is a good choice between the two.
Therefore, Yang Shu did not hesitate to slap Ye Lansheng and Ma Xuanlin back with his backhand. This was because he was sure that with his power, no one in the local area would dare to openly oppose him in the short term. This can be regarded as rising at the right time, and it is very courageous and courageous.
On the other hand, it's a little more complicated. But Yang Shu must have made a lot of preparations to figure it out so quickly. He has indeed grown a lot over the years without us paying attention.
Uncle, do you want to hear it? "
Yang Xiu Sheng has been with the emperor for such a long time, and today this is the first time he heard the emperor praise someone so straightforwardly. Moreover, he was praised for his "courage" and "courage".
Yang Xiusheng had also participated in the battle for the throne, and he knew that courage and courage were two extremely important qualities for a person to be an emperor. Now that the emperor is praising Ling Wang Shu like this, does it mean that Ling Wang Shu has directly won the emperor's favor like a dark horse?
As a result, Yang Xiu Sheng even had to rearrange the order of the seven princes in his mind. Now he naturally wanted to hear what the emperor had to say about this "dark horse".
"Appreciate further details."
The emperor continued to close his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "The second reason actually lies with Ye Lansheng himself. There was a previous meeting where Ye Lansheng stood up and wanted me to take back the order to delegate the power of tightening money and food to Yang Shu. , uncle, do you still remember this?"
"Remember." Yang Xiusheng was now personally guarding the emperor, so he would naturally go to court and remember what the emperor said.
"I felt very strange at the time. I deliberately stayed there for several days just to give feedback to the people below. Logically speaking, Ye Lansheng couldn't have guessed my plan, but he still jumped out to object. And what's interesting is that The Ministry of Finance, who was supposed to take the lead, remained silent. So I called Bai Changqing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, to hear what he meant. The result was very interesting. Bai Changqing actually went against Ye Lansheng.
Bai Changqing has always followed Ye Lansheng closely, how could he suddenly go against the grain? So I asked someone to check on these two people and found two very interesting things. One is that Bai Changqing seems to have been deliberately avoiding Ye Lansheng from before. He would rather be labeled as a "henpecked" than get too close to Ye Lansheng. His intention to draw a line is obvious.
Another interesting thing is that I was not the only one who investigated Chang Qing, but there was also a group of people who were later identified by my people as actually being the personnel of my youngest son Yang Shu.
Haha, this shows that Yang Shu has actually suspected Bai Changqing's abnormal behavior for a long time. After digging deeper, I discovered that Bai Changqing was so unusual in wanting to draw a clear line with Ye Lansheng because he was actually afraid. "
Yang Xiusheng became more and more confused as he listened. He shook his head and said, "Afraid? Why is Bai Changqing afraid of Ye Lansheng? Could it be that he is worried that Ye Lansheng will cause trouble and burn him?"
"That's right. I'm just worried about causing a fire and burning myself. And this fire will indeed burn Ye Lansheng, the left prime minister, without leaving a whole body." Although Yang Jian was half lying in the warm soup and described himself as leisurely, he fell out of his mouth as soon as he said this. It was as cold as ice.
"Ye Lansheng? What kind of anger can he make?"
"Ye Lansheng secretly contacted a group of civil servants in the hope that the imminent power of tightening money and food grains would remain in the Ministry of Household Affairs and be controlled by Bai Changqing. As the left prime minister in charge of civil servants, he could indirectly hold this power in his hands."
"Does he want to regain his right to speak?"
"That's right. But if it's just like this, Bai Changqing won't be afraid. Moreover, the victory of Jianchuan was happening in the south at that time, and the morale was high. Even with the power of tightening money and food, it was not enough to let the civilian officials ride on the head of the army again. Besides, Yang Yansi was hidden by us. After the rise, the Ministry of War is now actually supported by me. Unless the war is over, the prestige of the military will not be inferior to that of the civilian officials.
So Ye Lansheng came up with an idea to remove the firepower. It was this idea that frightened Bai Changqing so much that he didn't dare to speak or accept it, so he could only avoid Ye Lansheng. "
Yang Xiu Sheng frowned. He heard the undisguised murderous intention in the emperor's words and asked curiously: "What does he want to do?"
"Ye Lansheng plans to rely on the power of tightening money and food to tighten the supply of the border army, and choose a chance to give the border army a window of opportunity in its long supply line, so as to drag the border army down or into the quagmire. At that time, Zuo Yuliang can only Being able to return to the defense of Zhuohuo Pass will declare the complete failure of the military strategy in the south. Then the civil servants can regain their momentum and use the excuse of "peace talks" to force the army and me, the emperor."
"Ye Lansheng is seeking death!" Yang Xiusheng was dumbfounded. He did not expect that the dignified prime minister of the country and the head of the civil service could be so selfish. He simply regarded the lives of the border soldiers as child's play and the safety of the country. It's just a child's play, and his evil is even worse than that of the evil monks.
The emperor continued to close his eyes. He had been angry for a long time and was now very calm. He continued with a smile: "Ye Lansheng probably wanted to take over the power of tightening money and food supplies first and then force Bai Changqing to submit, but he didn't expect Bai Changqing to directly push him back and turn around to join Yang Shu. Ye Lansheng was probably angry, so he was ready to beat Yang Shu. Yang Shu, but in the end he was slapped back by Yang Shu..."
"So, when the Spirit King attacked Ye Lansheng and Ma Xuanlin, he was sure that they wouldn't be able to dance for a few days?"
