After Ye Yichen returned to the palace, he didn't have time to see his daughter, so he went to the study room in the front yard. I don't know what he ordered, but the people below were busy all night.

Early the next morning, Zhengzheng had breakfast. He asked Chen Jiadao, who was standing aside, "Is there any important memorial today?"

Chen Jia's expression was not very good: "Today's memorial is not particularly important, it's just... too much!"

Orthodoxy didn't take it seriously and said, "Tell them to move up!"

Chen Jia clapped his hands, and two young and strong eunuchs carried a large box in. The box was full of memorials presented by the ministers.

Zhengtong finally understood why Chen Jia said that today's memorial was a bit "too much"! This was not an ordinary amount!

Zhengtong has been the emperor for so many years, but he has never seen anything like this. Just now, Chen Jia said that there were no important memorials, so Zhengtong didn't think much about it, and asked people to put the memorials on the imperial desk in several thick piles.

, Zhengtong frowned a little when he looked at it.

He is not a diligent emperor. In recent years, as he has gotten older and less energetic, he has become even less fond of reading. However, the prince has just been deposed and the court has been in turmoil. When the situation is turbulent, he no longer wants to read.

You must also read the excerpts.

I randomly picked out a book and read it. It was written by a sixth-grade director of the Ministry of Industry. It was a long and eloquent article, and it had only one meaning: the original prince has been abolished, and we suddenly have a master missing above our heads.

We are not used to it, please ask the emperor to appoint a new second master for us. We think the fourth emperor is good, or you can just make do with it and make him the prince.

In the eyes of the orthodox emperor, the sixth grade was just a petty official, and orthodox did not take it seriously. The orthodox emperor was also considering the matter of establishing a prince. The boss Ye Minshu was finished. In terms of merit, Ye Minyu should take over. This

There seems to be nothing to discuss.

Although Ye Minzhao has been very popular with him recently, after all, he is too young. Although he was asked to take charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he has not made great contributions to the country and the country. Unlike Ye Minyu, he not only performed outstandingly in the defense of Beijing, but also made outstanding achievements.

He has spared his troops, and he has led troops and fought in battles. In terms of merit, he is more suitable to be the crown prince than the deposed prince who fell.

Zhengtong didn't take this book seriously, so he put it aside, picked up another book and started reading it. When he opened it, he saw that this time it was for a small official from the Ministry of Revenue. The content was similar to the previous book.

Make Ye Minyu the crown prince.

The third book, the fourth book... I flipped through the orthodox books one by one, hundreds of excerpts, six ministries, nine ministers, governors, eighteen yamen, almost all the officials in the court, all talking about this thing

, all hoped to establish the crown prince of Zhao immediately. Some ministers also wrote very impassionedly. Not only did they praise Ye Minyu to the extreme, they even said in the end that if King Zhao could not become the crown prince, I am afraid that your majesty’s colorful empire would be ruined!

The more Zhengtong looked at it, the darker his face became. First he was angry, then angry, and finally turned into fear.

With trembling hands, he pointed at the table full of memorials and hissed: "I'm not dead yet for these rebellious officials and traitors! They are about to force me into the palace!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Chen Jia stepped forward and rubbed his chest and back. After working hard for a long time, Zhengtong finally managed to calm down.

Chen Jia could see it clearly from the side, and couldn't help but secretly light a candle for Ye Minyu. Originally, the boss was deposed, and the crown prince's position was his, but in the end, he didn't know if he was unconscious.

He was so upset that he actually joined together with hundreds of ministers to elect him as the crown prince.

You must know that the emperor himself wants to give it to you and someone else forcing the emperor to give it to you are completely different things!

Now that you have not yet obtained the position of crown prince, you have united with so many courtiers to force the emperor to make you the crown prince. Isn't this tantamount to rebellion?

However, these hundreds of documents were handed over at the same time, which could indeed put unparalleled pressure on the emperor, but it also proved that Ye Minyu was wooing the courtiers and forming cliques for personal gain.

Chen Jia has been serving Zhengzheng, and she understands the emperor's thoughts at this time best. Because of the betrayal of the prince and the queen, the emperor was already increasingly suspicious. Now seeing this situation, how could he not be angry, and how could he still successfully establish Zhao?

The king is the prince!

Of course Ye Minyu did not do this, and Ye Minyu was not that stupid. The mastermind behind this incident was Ye Yichen. The resignation of the prince is not a bad thing for Ye Yichen, but it is not in his interest for King Zhao to become the prince too quickly. It is best

It was the prince and the king of Zhao who kept each other in check and consumed each other. The snipe and the clam fought each other, and the fisherman benefited.

He single-handedly pushed for today's incident to happen. Hundreds of ministers submitted letters at the same time, creating the illusion of a raging crowd, making the emperor feel that his power and position were threatened, and alienating the relationship between father and son.

In fact, he didn't do anything, he just quietly leaked the contents of this memorial. Because everyone knew that the next successor must be Ye Minyu. No one wanted to fall behind others, and everyone wanted to sell out in front of the future new king.

If the offer was made, naturally everyone would write in droves and nominate Ye Minyu as the crown prince.

This is human nature!

The Zhengtong emperor was furious. There was a rumor among the chamberlains that Yang Peishi, the former chief minister of the cabinet, wanted to see him. Chen Jia was shocked when he heard this, but Zhengtong was quite happy.

When Yang Peishi was in power, he could feel the checks and balances and threats he posed to him. At that time, the country's affairs were not so much controlled by him as the emperor, but by Yang Peishi, the chief minister of the cabinet. As long as he wanted to

Whatever he did, he always found a way to convince the orthodox emperor to agree to his policies.

So when Yang Peishi left, he was a little happy, feeling that no one could restrict him in whatever he wanted to do in the future. But it turned out that was not the case at all. His degree of freedom was greater, but his workload was also doubled.

Increased. In the past, when Yang Peizhi was in power, he, the great steward of the empire, took care of all the cabinet and six ministries, and he, the emperor, could enjoy life leisurely.

However, he had a new chief minister, whose prestige, qualifications, and ability were not comparable to those of Yang Peishi. He had to consult Zhengtong for instructions on all matters big and small. The Zhengtong emperor was depressed to death. He was overwhelmed with so many things to worry about in a day.

He slowly remembered the benefits of Yang Peishi again, and also slowly remembered that Yang Peishi had been his teacher and taught him carefully.

All in all, distance produces beauty! When distance exists, beauty comes.

So when he heard that Yang Peishi had arrived, the emperor was very happy. He immediately ordered Chen Jia to go to Shenwumen to greet him in person.

Chen Jia could only pinch his nose. The two enemies met, not only did they not have the slightest smell of gunpowder, but they also seemed like old friends who had not seen each other for many years, and they talked happily.

One said: "You are still growing stronger and more elegant than before. It's really gratifying!"

One said: "Eunuch Chen, you are in charge of the palace, serving the emperor, and you are praised both at home and abroad. It is really hard work for you!"

The two of them were making excuses and flattering each other along the way. In fact, they wanted to strangle each other to death, but they had extremely sincere smiles on their faces.

Chen Jia led the old man to the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace. The emperor had already changed into a formal dragon robe and was waiting here. Dressing formally also showed respect for Yang Peishi, a veteran of the Three Dynasties.

The old man knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times before the emperor. The orthodox emperor personally stepped down from the throne and helped the old man up. He said very emotionally: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Yang Qing has a lot more gray hair, and you are getting older!" In this aspect, he is much more orthodox than Chen Jiacheng. The old man went to Shandong and slept in the open air all the way. He has indeed aged a lot.

The old man said humbly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty! Life is rare in the past seventy years. I am already seventy-two this year. Being able to live to this age is the result of many years of gratitude to the emperor!"

Zhengtong was very happy after hearing this, "My dear, please sit down, please take a seat!"

The young eunuch brought a chair in, and the old lady apologized and sat down. The young eunuch then brought some refreshments. Zhengzheng was concerned about the old lady's living situation for a few words, then got to the point and said very kindly: "I don't know, my dear, this time You came to see me, but if you encounter any difficulties or have any requests, just tell me and I will definitely help you solve them."

The weight of this sentence is not small.

The old man first thanked the emperor for his kindness, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have come to see you this time. Firstly, I haven't seen you for many days and want to see the holy face. Secondly, I have compiled a book called "The Great Master". "The Gains and Losses of Yong Wei's Government", I would like to take this opportunity to dedicate this book to the emperor."

Dayong was a dynasty before the Great Chu, which lasted for more than 300 years before it was declared overthrown. The entire court fell apart, and rebel armies were surging in various places. Taizu coincided with the meeting and established the present Great Chu step by step.

Yang Peishi said: "There are countless historical events in Dayong's three hundred years of history, many of which are worthy of our vigilance and learning. I have wanted to compile such a book for a long time, but I was busy with government affairs at the time and couldn't spare the time. Now that I have retired, I have finally finished compiling this book and asked the Emperor to read it!"

When he came, he had already handed the book to Chen Jia. Everything that entered the emperor's hands had to be inspected by Chen Jia, so Chen Jia handed the thick book to the orthodox emperor.

Zhengtong had long known that the old man wanted to compile a book, so he took it over and flipped it over curiously, saying: "Based on your knowledge and knowledge, this book must be good. When I have time, I will definitely read it through!" This was true sincerity. During this period, he felt more and more that the country was operating in an orderly and orderly manner when Yang Peishi was in power.

The topic naturally turned to some things about Dayong. The old man said: "Everyone in the world says that the most sage emperor of Dayong is the second generation emperor Yong Taizong, but the humble ministers disagree! Yong Taizong killed his brothers and forced him to kill his brothers. When my father abdicates the throne, his moral integrity will be greatly reduced."

Yong Taizu, the founding emperor of Dayong, made his eldest son the crown prince. His second son, later Yong Taizong, had been competing with the crown prince for many years, but was always at a disadvantage. History books say that the crown prince later set up an ambush at Guang'an Gate in an attempt to launch a coup to kill Yong. Taizong was shot to death by an arrow instead. Taizong also killed his younger brother who participated in the coup with his elder brother, forcing his father to give up the throne. The founding emperor became the Supreme Emperor, but he became the emperor. Later, he created a generation of great prosperity. Later generations had many praises for him.

The orthodox emperor of course knew about this period of history at that time. He laughed and said: "Prince Yong is violent and cruel, but he is a mediocre person. He is far less popular than Taizong! After the Guang'anmen incident, Taizong had no choice but to rise up and resist!" Chen Jia also followed.

Nod, that’s what the history books say.

The old man talked eloquently: "I have always found it strange that Prince Yong was originally the prince, and the world was destined to be his in the future. Why did he impatiently launch a mutiny and had to kill his younger brother? What's more, according to historical records, Yong

The prince's long-planned coup turned out to be unprepared and was

The younger brother was shot to death with an arrow! Yong Taizong, who hurriedly responded to the fight, not only escaped unscathed, but also killed the prince and the King of Qi who supported the prince. He also took this opportunity to kill all the dozen sons of the prince and the King of Qi.

Purity will forever eliminate future troubles. It is really intriguing to see who comes prepared!"

The orthodox emperor thought for a while and felt that there was something very fishy about this matter. "You mean, Emperor Taizong asked someone to tamper with the history books?"

"The emperor is indeed a wise man. I looked through the historical materials and found that Yong Taizong intervened in the compilation of history. There are many records in unofficial records. According to the official records, Yong Taizong was the president of the compilation organization of "Tai-zu Shilu". He was a post-95

Your Majesty the Emperor, I condescend you to be the CEO, the meaning is self-evident."

"Not only that, I also suspect that by intervening in the compilation of history, he deliberately exaggerated his importance in the founding process of the country in order to prove the legitimacy of his palace changes and seizing power! I have reviewed historical materials and have reason to believe that Prince Yong was the

In fact, he is not as mediocre and tyrannical as described in history books, and he is embarrassed by his great responsibilities. In fact, he is an outstanding heir to the throne who has the world's pattern in mind."

Hearing this, the orthodox emperor's heart moved slightly. Aren't the Prince Yong and Emperor Taizong of Yong back then a bit like today's Crown Prince and King Zhao?

Yang Peishi seemed to have not seen the face of the orthodox emperor, and continued: "I have always felt suspicious. Almost all the founding emperors in the past dynasties were talented and strategists. Why was this Yong Taizu alone so incompetent? Not only did he choose the wrong prince

, was forced to abdicate, and his light was even completely eclipsed by Taizong!"

Hearing this, Zhengtong's expression changed slightly. What Yang Peishi said couldn't be more reasonable. In fact, even Zhengtong has considered this issue before. The real history must be that Taizong distorted and tampered with history after he ascended the throne, exaggerating his own role.

, to prove their legitimacy.

He suddenly broke into a cold sweat. As soon as the prince was deposed, King Zhao dared to contact the ministers to force him to make him the prince. If he really agreed to his request, wouldn't it be possible that one day he would be forced like Yong Taizu?

Abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor in name only.

When the orthodox emperor thought of this, alarm bells started ringing in his heart!

The orthodox emperor looked at Yang Peishi solemnly and said, "If Aiqing had stood in the same position as before the palace incident, how would she have handled the dispute between her two sons?"

The old man twirled his beard and said with a smile: "This matter may be difficult or difficult, and it may be easy to say, but it just depends on the word 'balance'!"

Balance! This is the most important lesson that Yang Peishi taught him when he was the emperor's master!

After Yang Peishi finished speaking the most important words and chatted with the emperor for a while, he stood up and left. Chen Jia sent him out, muttering to himself that this old fox seemed to have never said a word about government affairs from beginning to end.

But in fact, every word has a hint, but no one can take advantage of him. He is too old and cunning.

Yang Peishi left, but Zhengtong fell into thinking for a long time.

He thought about it all afternoon in Nuan Pavilion and finally made up his mind. "Chen Jia, you come and draw up the decree!"

"The first decree: Immediately release the deposed prince Ye Minshu from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment! He will be imprisoned in the Yuqing Palace, and he will be guarded by..." The emperor thought for a while and finally decided: "The Prince of Lu, Ye Minzhao, will be responsible for guarding him!"

"Second decree: Cheng Daquan, the head of the household department, and seven other people formed a clique for personal gain. They will be imprisoned immediately and handed over to the ministry for discussion!" The seven people mentioned by Zhengtong were the ones who cheered the most in the incident of supporting King Zhao.

. Orthodoxy does not want to involve too many people and cause shock to the government and the public. Just these few

The officials are not very big, but the guys who shout the loudest are picked out to scare the monkeys. They are not necessarily the best friends of King Zhao. They originally wanted to flatter the future new king, but unexpectedly the flattery hit the horse's leg.

, not only did he not get any benefits, but he was thrown into jail.

"The third decree: Remove King Zhao Ye Minyu from all positions in the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, and order him to work in the Ministry of Personnel!" Removing Ye Minyu from all positions in the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army is to completely separate him from the military power.

Isolated, Zhengtong was afraid that he would raise an army and force the palace! Ye Minyu originally started his career in the military, and Zhengtong's decree shows that he was on guard against Ye Minyu.

On the surface, transferring him to the Ministry of Civil Affairs seemed to be to make up for the loss of his military power. In fact, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was originally one-third of an acre of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family, as the maternal family of King Zhao, had always been King Zhao.

A die-hard supporter, so in the end, Ye Minyu suffered a big loss!
