"Thank you...you'er..."

Leaning on the bed, Yin Hongzhi looked at Li You with a glad expression and said thank you from the bottom of his heart.

Li You smiled and waved his hand and said, "I don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, my uncle will thank my father for his kindness... and my uncle has a certain value for his use."

"Haha..." Yin Hongzhi laughed: "You understand what Your Majesty wants me to guard Dengzhou!"

"What..." Yin Cheng frowned slightly: "Didn't Your Majesty save his father from his death penalty because of his past kindness?"

"The kindness of the past...but, kindness is just one of them, and your Majesty will not be so simple to use people." Yin Hongzhi looked at Li You and Yin Cheng and said, "Not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, he did something incredible: He included his younger brother Li Yuanji's princess Yang in the harem. As the emperor, this was simply ridiculous, and for a moment, the ministers were upset.

But Your Majesty still insisted on his own and enthroned the Yang family!

He ignored the criticism of the ministers! So, is Your Majesty really a debauchery monarch? Since he is greedy for beauty, why don’t he marry Zheng Guanyin, who is the same as the beauty of heaven?

In fact, we can understand the profound meaning behind His Majesty's decision by looking at the situation that His Majesty was facing at that time and the internal and external environment of the Tang Dynasty.

First of all, His Majesty's throne was robbed by swords and guns in his hands, and it was not legal in its original state! Since Li Jiancheng was appointed as the crown prince in the first year of Wude, he has made great achievements in politics, economy, military and administration. There are many ministers who are centered on Li Jiancheng, especially the old ministers in the East Palace of the Crown Prince's Mansion, many of whom are important officials who are in power in the court and the opposition.

Furthermore, the guards, generals, and county chiefs led by various places only recognize Li Jiancheng as the prince. Now that His Majesty suddenly took office, can everyone be convinced?

More importantly, the Li family relied on the support of the Guanlong nobles and the aristocratic families. Without their full support, there would be no Li Tang world. The connections they had were strongly feared even the emperor.

From the perspective of the external environment, in the Tang Dynasty in the ninth year of Wude, nomadic people were eyeing each other and border alarms were frequent. The Tang Dynasty had been fighting for years and was empty in national strength, and it was impossible to take action to consolidate border defense.

Therefore, quickly stabilizing the government, strengthening centralization, and consolidating the "hard-won" throne became the most urgent thing for Your Majesty. Then it was natural for him to bring Yang into the palace!

The Yang family of Hongnong began with the prime minister of Emperor Zhao of Han. The son-in-law of Sima Qian, Yang Chang, lived in Hongnong for generations. Yang Chang's great-grandson was the Taiwei of the Eastern Han Dynasty, his son Yang Bing, Sun Yang Ci, and great-grandson Yang Biao were all Taiweis. They have been prosperous for hundreds of years and have a huge influence between the court and the country.

Yang Jian, important officials Yang Su, Yang Lin and others of the Sui Dynasty were all branches of the Yang family. Li Shimin took Yang into the harem, which was essentially a political transaction. The Yang family gained an extremely honorable and favored position in the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty obtained a powerful foreign aid from aristocratic families!

So no matter how you look at the marriage to Yang, it is a cost-effective "buy". Even if Your Majesty knows that doing so will cause criticism, he doesn't care about so much for the sake of stability!"

"But Zheng Guanyin is also the daughter of Zheng Jibo, the governor of Tanzhou of the Sui Dynasty. She was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, a prominent clan of the Northern Dynasties. She also has great influence and huge strength in the court and the country. Can she also get the support of Zheng if she marrys Zheng Guanyin?" Yin Cheng asked.

"The father dared not marry... During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, all the five sons born to Li Jiancheng and Zheng Guanyin were killed by the father. It can be said that no one left behind, and the roots were cut off, and they were done cleanly, and all the consequences were eliminated!

Zheng Guanyin and Li Shimin had both hatred for killing their husbands and hatred for killing their sons. No matter what, she could not commit herself to her father. Even if the father forced her to marry her, could he sleep peacefully?

How could Zheng Guanyin not fight to the death? In this way, not only will Zheng not be able to use it for his father, but he will even turn against him! His father must have considered this!”

"That's right!" After Li You finished speaking, Yin Hongzhi nodded repeatedly: "You'er is really mature. The reason why Your Majesty dares to marry Yang is because Yang and Li Yuanji have no children. From this point of view, the relationship between Yang and Li Yuanji is not harmonious, and they have been married for several years without any results, which has already shown many things. Therefore, when Li Yuanji was killed, Yang did not feel much sad.

The marriage between Yang and Li Yuanji was originally a political marriage, but now it is also a political marriage to marry Your Majesty. What is the difference? Since Yang does not have too deep hatred with Your Majesty, then Your Majesty will not have too much psychological burden if you marry her.

Just like me now... Your Majesty knows that I have no power to resist. More importantly, I still have some residual value, but one of the most important ones is that Your Majesty wants to use me to sell a favor to You'er.

After all, I am still You'er's uncle. You'er values ​​family affection. Your Majesty has seen this weakness, so Your Majesty did not kill me, but used me instead. Actually, I want to thank You. If you don't have you now, then I will die this time, and our Yin family will definitely be ruined."

"This is the reason for the family alliance..." Yin Cheng looked at Li You and Yin Hongzhi.

Yin Hongzhi smiled and nodded: "Cheng'er, you are too young... By the way..." Yin Hongzhi looked at Li You and said: "You'er, I know you want to keep Cheng'er by your side, but Cheng'er is still too young, so this time I went to Dengzhou to take Cheng'er away, and the Yin family will all leave Chang'an. If they stay, they will leave you with trouble."

"But... Dengzhou is very hard..." Li You reminded.

"It's better than being dead, and I will submit a report tomorrow and go directly to Dengzhou." Yin Hongzhi said with a smile.

"But father, your injuries..." Yin Cheng was worried.

"There is no problem with injury, I can't die... It's better to leave early. We stay in Chang'an for one more day, and it's more dangerous. It doesn't matter if we die, but if we hurt You'er, I really deserve to die."

Yin Hongzhi looked at Li You with some regrets and said, "Our uncle and nephew have just resolved the estrangement, but they have to be separated by thousands of miles. However, I believe that one day, my uncle will bring you the greatest help. This time, my uncle may not be able to see your mother.

You conveyed your mother to your uncle, saying that his uncle would come back, and that by that time, the younger brother would definitely go to his sister to admit his mistake. I'm sorry...!" After saying that, Yin Hongzhi's eyes turned red.

Li You also sighed slightly, then nodded and said, "Uncle, Mother has never blamed you. She just felt sorry for you. No matter what you did or where you walked, you are the only brother of Mother's mother and her closest brother."

Yin Hongzhi nodded with tears in his smile: "The person I am most sorry for in my life is my sister. Fortunately, I am glad that You'er was not led by me. My sister has a support, which is the most fortunate thing I am now."

The Yin Concubine in this space is very lucky because of Li You's time travel, but the Yin Concubine in another space has no good luck. In 638 AD, Li Shimin appointed Li You as the King of Qi, appointed Governor of Qi Qing, and other military affairs of the five prefectures, as well as the governor of Qizhou, and ordered Li You to live in his fiefdom.

Because Yin Fei was worried that the young Li You would not be able to live independently, she asked her younger brother to accompany her son to live in the fiefdom and asked her younger brother to assist and take good care of Li You.

However, what Yin Fei did not expect was that his good brother actually instigated his son to rebel. When Li Shimin learned that Li You was trying to rebel, he did not immediately punish Li You, but said: "As long as he stayed in the fiefdom peacefully, I will not take the initiative to punish him." Yin Fei learned that Li Shimin did not punish Li You.

He hurriedly wrote a book and sent someone to his son, with the purpose of persuading his son not to act rashly, nor to have the intention of rebellion. However, his son, who was far away in Qizhou, did not listen to his mother's advice at all, but believed his uncle's words very much. In 640 AD, after Li You returned to Beijing, he claimed that he was sick and did not return to his fiefdom.

In 643 AD, Li You followed his uncle's instigation and was arrested for treason. Li Shimin demoted Li You to a commoner for "rebellion" and sentenced to death. Yin Fei was demoted to a concubine because of Li You's involvement, and even the palace maids and eunuchs could bully her at will.

Wherever she is there, everyone will choose to isolate her, or even insult and beat her. In order not to be insulted and beaten, Yin Fei chose Lone Ding as her companion until she died.

"By the way...Uncle, I'm not very at ease with the safety of your trip to Dengzhou, so I have prepared twenty people for you, and I hope you don't dislike it."

"Guard..." Yin Hongzhi waved his hand and said, "Uncle appreciated You'er's kindness, but the guard is still not needed... These people should be left to You'er, you should know that this capital is much more dangerous than Dengzhou."

"Haha..." Li You nodded with a smile: "It is true that the capital is not very stable, but I can't keep those guards. Why not, my uncle should take a look at the guards first..."

After saying that, Li You clapped his hands, and then twenty men walked in. The person who led the lead was about two meters tall. After seeing Yin Hongzhi, the big guy actually started crying directly, and then knelt down to Yin Hongzhi and said, "Master... Yin Beast is incompetent..."

It turned out that these twenty people were Yin Hongzhi's former black armored guards, that is, Yin Hongzhi's personal guards. Seeing this group of people, Yin Hongzhi shed tears again: "Why are you... getting up, all of them are getting up. It's not that you are incompetent, but that I'm sorry for you, I'm hurting you...!"

Tears of regret fell from Yin Hongzhi's eyes. In fact, after Yin Hongzhi was arrested, what they were most worried about was these black armored guards. These black armored guards were all Yin Hongzhi's loyalty. Now they were all arrested for rebellion, and they must be dead. These are all people under 30 years old. They were all dedicated to losing their lives for themselves, which made Yin Hongzhi feel the most guilty.

Now seeing that there are still surviving people, Yin Hongzhi could no longer control his emotions and started crying loudly. When Yin Hongzhi cried, the other black armored guards could not control their emotions and started crying with them.

The crying of a group of tough guys is the most sad thing in the world.
