Chapter 402: Governing the Book and Attending Censor You Yuan
Yang Xuangan, the Minister of Rites, did not have the power to cover the sky in Liyang.
In order to ensure the safety of food and grass transportation, the Holy Lord arranged for Yang Xuangan to sit in Li Yang, and arranged for the deputy chief of the Censorate Zhishushi Yu Yuan to stay in Li Yang to supervise Yang Xuangan and supervise all levels of officials who supervise food and grass.
You Yuan came from the You family in Renxian County. The You family in Renxian County is also a high-ranking clan in Hebei. More than a hundred years ago, the You family produced three world-famous talents You Ya, You Minggen and You Zhao, known as the Three You You in Renxian County. Later, the descendants of the You family also emerged in many talents. Among them, You Minggen's grandson You Yuan was the second largest figure in the Censorate of the dynasty, and was the family's pillar, and he also had a great weight in the Hebei aristocratic group.
The Holy Lord placed such a "rightly rooted" deputy chief of the Shandong Censorate in Liyang to supervise Yang Xuangan. The purpose of this can be imagined. You Yuan lived up to the entrusted by the Holy Lord and did his duty to supervise the supervision work. Especially since the Eastern Expedition in April, he has led a group of his subordinates to patrol the Yongji Canal between the two sides, using his reputation and connections to do his best to ensure the safety of Yongji Canal. In recent times, he has joined forces with local armed forces on both sides of Yongji Canal to work with Cui Hongsheng, the ambassador of Hebei to suppress the thieves, and achieved great results in the battlefield of suppressing the rebellion.
However, the crisis in Tongji Canal is getting worse, and the situation in Henan continues to deteriorate. The alliance of traits that flowed from southwestern Shandong to the Central Plains is becoming more and more rampant. He even made a move to cross the Hebei region and plunder Yongji Canal. Yang Xuangan, the Minister of Rites, ordered the local armed forces of Ji County and its surrounding counties to strengthen the defensive power of Liyang Cang and Yongji Canal. But how could Hebei people be willing to obey orders and work hard for the people of Guanlong? In addition, the Qinghe thief Zhang Jin said that Taihang thieves Deren, Yang Gongqing and others were all hidden in the surrounding areas of Liyang. Once they saw that the situation in Liyang was tense and took advantage of the situation, it would inevitably endanger the safety of Yongji Canal. After hearing the news, You Yuan immediately bid farewell to Cui Hongsheng and rushed to Liyang to help Yang Xuangan overcome the difficulties.
Cui Hongsheng tried his best to dissuade you and begged You Yuan to stay and help him continue to suppress the thieves. But the reality is that Gao Shida, Dou Jiande, Ge Qian, Gao Kaidao and other thieves who invaded Yongjiqu all fled, and there were no thieves to suppress them. However, Li Yang was full of dangers. Of course, You Yuan was going to Li Yang, and Cui Hongsheng could not persuade him at all. In desperation, Cui Hongsheng had to use the excuse of "rumor" to reveal some "abnormal" situations in Li Yang's side to You Yuan, implying that something might happen to Li Yang.
What is You Yuan? His job is to supervise all officials. During the Eastern Expedition, he supervises and suppresses Yang Xuangan. According to the arrangement of the Holy Lord, he should always be stationed in Li Yang and stare at Yang Xuangan at all times. However, he did not follow the arrangement of the Holy Lord and did not follow Yang Xuangan indifferently. Instead, he traveled as far as he could. He seemed to deliberately avoid Yang Xuangan and was unwilling to have conflicts with Yang Xuangan. Is this true? Of course not, the reason why You Yuan left Li Yang and stayed away from Yang Xuangan was to better monitor Yang Xuangan, in order to better complete the trust of the Holy Lord, to seize Yang Xuangan's fatal handle, and then use the power of the Holy Lord to give Yang Xuangan a fatal blow. For You Yuan, if he could destroy Yang Xuangan and his political power, it would not only severely attack the Guanlong people, but also help Shandong people win the favor of the Holy Lord and the reformists, and win more political benefits.
You Yuan knew the "rumor" in Cui Hongsheng's mouth, and he had evidence to prove that the rumors were true. Yang Xuangan was indeed suspected of "indiscretion". He had already reported to the Holy Lord secretly. If nothing unexpected happens, the Holy Lord will soon issue an order to transfer or even arrest Yang Xuangan, so he must rush back to Li Yang to "stabilize" Yang Xuangan, and must preside over the overall situation of Li Yang after "taking" Yang Xuangan. Destroying Yang Xuangan is only part of the "heavy trust" of the Holy Lord. What the Holy Lord needs is Li Yang Cang and Yongji.
The safety of the canal is that food and supplies can be transported continuously to the Liaodong battlefield, which is the victory of the second Eastern Expedition, so You Yuan had no choice. Even if Li Yang was in a dragon's den, even if Li Yang was in a sea of swords and fire, he would "rush" in without hesitation. You Yuan couldn't wait to go to Li Yang, but to avoid arousing Yang Xuangan's vigilance, he needed an appropriate excuse. Fortunately, there was an excuse to "delive it to the door". Just imagine who can stop You Yuan from rushing to Li Yang at this moment?
Cui Hongsheng sent You Yuan away with a "farewell" mood. If Li Fengyun's prediction was accurate, Yang Xuangan would soon raise troops to rebel. You Yuan went to Liyang to seek death. However, considering You Yuan's respectful status among the nobles of Hebei and his lofty reputation among the people of Shandong, Yang Xuangan would not be so stupid as to cut down You Yuan's head and sacrifice flags. Because killing You Yuan would inevitably arouse the anger of Shandong people, and breaking with Shandong people would have harm to Yang Xuangan without any benefit. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Yang Xuangan would have to find ways to win the support of Shandong people and use all means to "pull" You Yuan into the water. You Yuan was controlled by Yang Xuangan, and he could not help but unable to "water". After Yang Xuangan's defeat, he could not prove his innocence at all. Since he could not prove it, it was Yang Xuangan's accomplice, and it would be difficult to die.
When You Yuan arrived in Liyang, he found that the situation was severe, and the situation was far worse than he thought. He was not against Yang Xuangan alone, but a group of conspiring to rebels. In addition to Wu Ben Lang General Wang Zhongbo, Ji Jun Zanwu Zhao Huaiyi and other military and political officials who were preparing for mutiny in Liyang, there were also many local officials in the East Capital, Xijing and even the palaces were members of this rebellion group. This was terrible, so terrible that it made You Yuan desperate. What happened next made him realize that he was too confident and ended up in a desperate situation.
What happened next was that Yang Xuangan took the initiative to come to You Yuan and took the initiative to "show off" him, very honest. What is the task entrusted to you by the Holy Lord, why did you leave Liyang, who did you install people around me, what message did they convey to you, why you suddenly came back, I know everything, I knew very well, I thought you wouldn't come back, and I still had some regrets, but now that you are back, it would be an unexpected surprise for me.
I believe you know very well why we are the people of our group of people who overthrow the tyrant by force. In fact, you Shandong people have the same idea, but you don’t have the strength or the courage to do this. Now I will give you a chance to rebuild a glorious opportunity. We join forces, Guanlong people, Heluo people, and Shandong people form alliances and cooperate to overthrow the tyrants, and give a bright world in Middle Earth, so that all the people in the world can live and work in peace and contentment, and enjoy the prosperity and peace brought by the unification of Middle Earth.
At this moment, You Yuan was moved and hesitated, but then he thought of Yuchi Jiong, Wang Qian, Sima Yingnan, and Yang Liang, the King of Han who was defeated by the Holy Lord.
Historical captains Chi Jiong, Wang Qian, Sima Xiaonan and Han Wang Yang Liang all launched military coups, and they all had a great advantage at the beginning of the coup, but they all failed very quickly, and they failed very quickly, with a mountain of defeat and a huge defeat. What is even more incredible is that Shandong people stood on the side of the coup twice and participated in the coup twice, but they lost both times, lost miserably and suffered heavy losses, and they were in a slump, and the Shandong people unstoppable decline.
There is such a bloody historical lesson | You Yuan is of course very cautious. Before making a decision, you must not only see the facts clearly, but also see whether the decision is beneficial to Shandong people.
Is Yang Xuangan, the leader of this mutiny, better than those of the coups in the previous two times? The answer is no. Is Yang Xuangan supported by people from Shandong? The answer is no. Some Shandong people may support Yang Xuangan, but at least so far, as far as You Yuan knows, neither the Cui family in Hebei and the Li family in Zhaojun did not support Yang Xuangan, and the You family in Renxian did not support Yang Xuangan. The local nobles and wealthy people who were vassing these four wealthy families naturally would not support Yang Xuangan. From this calculation, there are definitely not many Shandong people who support him. On the contrary, there are many Shandong people who support the Holy Lord.
Why do most Shandong people support the Holy Lord? In addition to the historical lesson, the most realistic thing is that the Holy Lord and hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops are in Liaodong, which is close to Hebei. If Shandong people support Yang Xuangan, the war in this coup will be ignited in Hebei first. Hebei people are the first to be hit. Under the attack of the expeditionary troops, corpses will definitely be everywhere and all casualties will be killed or injured. What are the benefits of death and death before they get the person. Who would do such a loss-making business?
You Yuan immediately strengthened his position, but in order to find out the truth, he hesitated and consciously wrote Yang Xuangan's words.
Yang Xuangan knew it well, but he didn't care, but secretly was secretly happy. If you could pull You Yuan over, it would be a great help, and the chances of winning the mutiny would be greatly increased. In order to do your best to win over You Yuan, Yang Xuangan was willing to tell the truth. The more You Yuan knew, the more unfavorable it would be for him. In the future, he would not be able to clear his life into the Yellow River. Once You Yuan had no way out, he would give him great confidence, and it would be possible to pull him over. Of course, You Yuan might rather die than follow. If Yang Xuangan could understand this, after all, You Yuan was involved in too much interests, and he could not afford to lose, and You family in Renxian could not lose.
Hebei people cannot bear it, but even this is beneficial to Yang Xuangan. Because You Yuan is in a difficult situation and life and death are hanging on the front line, Hebei people will be in a dilemma. In this way, Hebei people will be difficult to make a decision when Yang Xuangan raises his troops. He has no choice but to sway and ride a fence, and Cui Hongsheng will not rush to the front of suppressing the rebellion. This gives Yang Xuangan more time to attack Dongdu. What Yang Xuangan lacks most now is time. Only when he has enough time to take Dongdu, the situation will change and will be beneficial to him. Hebei people will continue to sway and ride a fence, which will continue to benefit Yang Xuangan.
Yang Xuangan spoke in a lingering manner, and said with a lot of exaggeration and fiction. In short, his mutiny alliance has strong strength and the prospects for mutiny are very beautiful. Although the process must be tortuous, victory will eventually come. You Yuan was still listening with relish at first, but his face became more and more serious, his brows became deeper and deeper, and then he wanted to speak, but he stopped talking several times. Due to Yang Xuangan's endless talk and full of interest, he could not even get stuck. Later, he couldn't help it. You Yuan resolutely interrupted Yang Xuangan's words and asked bluntly, who inherited the imperial throne? Who will be the new emperor?
The key to whether this war is defeated or not is the succession of the imperial throne. If the heir is chosen, the new emperor has won the recognition of most political forces, then the mutiny is basically half successful. This is what You Yuan is most concerned about and interested in. However, Yang Xuangan talked for a long time but did not mention the issue of the imperial throne. You Yuan couldn't help but complain, not knowing whether Yang Xuangan deliberately concealed it or had other plans. If you don't tell me the way to solve the key problems and core problems, it would be useless if you could talk about other things in a scattered way, because I don't see hope for the success of the mutiny.
Yang Xuangan hesitated. He knew that You Yuan would not let go of the issue of the inheritance of the imperial throne, but this problem is now his fatal injury. He can bet on a big gamble, but others may not be willing to bet. This is the crux of the problem, so he is at a loss now and can only avoid talking, but if he doesn't talk, what can you use to convince You Yuan?
In You Yuan's opinion, Yang Xuangan's hesitation seemed troublesome. Obviously, Yang Xuangan did not deliberately conceal it, but did not solve this core problem. You Yuan couldn't help but have the urge to curse. If you haven't solved such a core problem, what rebellion would you do? You are also a great man of a generation, at the top of power, and have a perfect political game. You won't make such a childish mistake, right?
You Yuan's face became more gloomy, his eyes became more sinister, and his momentum was aggressive. If you have no chance of winning, then I would definitely not be happy. You are sincere in killing me and want to bury Shandong people. Since that's the case, I'm sorry, let's fight to the death. You must know that it doesn't matter if I die in the current situation, but if I die at your hands, the relationship will be great. The entire Shandong aristocratic group will stand firm and attack them in groups. Even some Shandong people who originally supported you will be disappointed and abandon you. By then, you will lose your power, betray your relatives and die in an instant.
Yang Xuangan read the crisis from You Yuan's eyes. After weighing the gains and losses, he resolutely decided to deceive the whole thing. As long as you convince You Yuan to pull the Hebei people into the water first, the truth will be revealed, and the Hebei people are in a difficult position to get off, and there is only one road that will go black.
Yang Xuangan gave the answer, Yang You, the King of Dian.
You Yuan sneered. If you say King Yue, I still believe that after all, you can still talk to Shandong people and have a foundation for cooperation. But if it is King Dai, what will you talk to Guanlong people? Will you be willing to make wedding dresses for Guanlong people?
Yang Xuangan was so calm that he said that I had Yuan Hongsi and the Northwest Army.
You Yuan was angry. Since you have Yuan Hongsi and the Northwest Army, since you have pinched the throat of the Guanlong people, why should you raise troops immediately? Why don’t you wait until July and wait until the Expeditionary Army reaches the city of Pyongyang? You deliberately deceive me, you have no alliance with the Guanlong people. The Northwest Army is a disciple of Guanlong and the Northwest Army of Guanlong people. Yuan Hongsi cannot control the Northwest Army at all. He hopes that Yuan Hongsi can use the Northwest Army to threaten the Guanlong people, purely
It is your wishful thinking, it is your self-deception. Now you don’t have the support of Guanlong people, nor the support of Shandong people. What’s more terrifying is that you don’t even have a choice of heirs of the imperial throne. What’s more terrifying is that you don’t even have a choice of heirs of the Imperial Order. What’s going to compete with the Holy Lord? Your power and prestige are not as good as that of King Yang Liang of Han, and your strength cannot be compared with those of the Yuchi Jiong, Wang Qian and Sima Yingnan back then. When they have the advantage, they all failed. Why do you create miracles?
This time it was Yang Xuangan's turn to look gloomy and became angry. He failed to convince You Yuan and was humiliated by You Yuan. This is unreasonable
