Chapter 472 Choice
Author: There are dragons in Nanshan
Now that the matter has come, Yang Dan no longer hides it and is open and honest.
All active officials in the court, such as Zhang Yi and others, were former officials of San Yang.
The Ming Dynasty founded the country with martial arts. The civil servant group was suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang in the Hongwu Dynasty. When he arrived at the Jianwen Dynasty, he had just looked up and had a crisis. Zhu Di's style of doing things completely imitated his father, which made people breathless.
It was not until the Renxuan dynasty that the civil servant group truly began to grow and grow under the leadership of the cabinet San Yang.
Among the three Yangs, Yang Shiqi was the leader. However, in the eighth year of Zhengtong, something happened that directly made the old minister of the five dynasties lose his integrity in his later years.
Yang Shiqi's son Yang Ji relied on his father as the chief minister of the cabinet. He was domineering in Taihe County, Ji'an Prefecture, bullying men and women, and causing death.
Although the matter is serious, as the chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Shiqi wanted to suppress the matter, but it was just a matter of one sentence.
The problem is that a victim actually bypassed the local officials and rushed all the way from his hometown into the capital, causing the case to the emperor!
Now, the matter was completely exposed. Yang Ji was captured by the Jinyiwei and entered the capital. The evidence was as strong as a mountain. Yang Shiqi had no choice but to watch his son beheaded and displayed to the public.
He was not strict in discipline, so he, the chief minister of the cabinet, had no shame to continue working. From then on, he returned home. He was worried about being sick and went to reunite with his son in less than a year.
After Yang Shiqi's death, there were two other Yangs, as well as his disciples and former officials, who were still active in the court.
In terms of qualifications, Yang Dan is the son of Yang Pu, and Yang Tai is the grandson of Yang Rong. One of them is in the capital and the other is in the south of the Yangtze River. Just secretly unite the gentry of the previous dynasty and then respond to the response of all officials, and the matter is halfway.
The other half is military power, and civil officials control the government affairs, but they cannot control the army.
At this time, a small episode suddenly appeared. Two censors of the Censorate discovered the clues and were about to write a letter to report.
So, Yang Dan had a plan and conspired with the left deputy chief censor of the Censorate to ask the two Censors to go down to investigate Yang Hong's deficit!
Because Wu Heng, the Right Attendant of the Ministry of War, had already found out that when Yang Hong was appointed as the general of Datong, the general of Xuanfu, and after entering the court and becoming the minister of the minister, he had no idea how many deficits there were under his command, and he checked them one by one.
This way, it is possible to use Yang Hong's hands to remove dissidents and drag him into the water, killing two birds with one stone.
The more Zhang Yi continued to listen, his brows became tighter and his face was so dark that ink could seep out.
He never expected that these people would conspire to rebel under the emperor's nose. What's even more annoying is that the emperor cooperated quite well and took a few Jinyiwei and ran away.
Confucius said: I was fine when I left, I can’t come back!
"Who knows this? Does Mr. Cao in the cabinet know?"
Zhang Yi asked the last question because he had to know how serious the matter was.
Yang Dan shook his head and said, "Shoushou Cao doesn't know."
"Do you don't know, or do you fail to make a counter-attack?"
"I didn't tell him at all!"
“Why?”
"He is from the north and is not the same as us, not to mention that he is already the chief minister of the cabinet."
The implication is that even if the prince ascended the throne, Cao Nai could not go further.
But Zhang Yi is different. He is now the secondary assistant and can become the chief assistant and the highest official.
Yang Dan's words also have another meaning. The officials in the court are divided into factions, and from a large perspective, they are two factions in the north and south.
