Chapter 607: Don't let me know if there is a replacement?

 In the Wuying Palace, Yu Qian saw the emperor's brows frowning slightly, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing this situation, Yu Qian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although there was no discussion in advance, judging from what happened in Beijing during this period, the candidate who will be sacrificed is actually very clear.

Changping Hou Mansion, Yang Family!

To be honest, Yu Qian admired Yang Hong very much, a veteran of many battles, and if possible, he did not want to use the Changping Marquis Mansion sacrificial flag.

However, I have to say that the Yang family is really suitable...

Unlike Fan Guang District, who rose rapidly in ten years, Yang Hong has been guarding the border since he inherited his father's job. It has been more than 40 years now.

The roots of the Yang family are at the border!

Therefore, if you want to investigate Juntun, the only one you can't bypass is the Yang family.

The situation that Yu Qian found out about the Xuan Mansion and his party was far beyond his imagination. If the Yang Wuhou Mansion was already unscrupulous, then what the Yang family did would only be worse.

Thanks to Yang Xin's lack of secret obstruction, Yu Qian's investigation was relatively smooth.

The Yang family has been on the border for more than 40 years and has been promoted step by step. In addition to their outstanding military exploits, their connections are also indispensable.

So, where do these connections come from?

Of course, from various interactions, the Yang family was involved in more than just their own family in the military camp.

From what Yu Qian found alone, the number of military villages occupied by the Yang family openly and covertly was at least 500 hectares, not counting privately cultivated land and commercial land.

Not all of these fields were taken away by the Yang family. In fact, less than one-third of them were left by the Yang family themselves.

Most of the rest were used to smoothen relationships and win over people's hearts, and some were even used to comfort the subordinates who died on the battlefield.

Yang Hong's current prestige in the military is inseparable from his ability to "give both kindness and power".

In other words, many of these invaded military villages were subsidized to the army in disguised form, and were even used for city defense.

This makes the soldiers led by the Yang family better than ordinary border troops in terms of military morale and combat effectiveness, which has become the cornerstone of Yang Hong's repeated military exploits.

After Yang Hong, his descendants Yang Xin, Yang Neng, and even Yang Jun also did the same.

Therefore, even if Yang Jun drinks alcohol, kills people, has a bad temper, and even escapes from battle, the ordinary sergeants below him are very supportive of him.

As for Yang Xin, who resembles Yang Hong, not to mention, the fact that he can compete with Tao Jin, the chief soldier, as deputy commander, shows his prestige in the army.

But all this was actually at the expense of the interests of the imperial court. The Yang family grabbed a lot of profits from the military villages, and then fed back on itself and achieved great success.

Although there were no big problems from the original intention to the means, even when the border army was corrupt, Yang Hong did this somewhat out of necessity.

However, this cannot conceal the fact that he indeed occupied a large number of military camps.

As long as you are willing to investigate these things, it is not difficult to obtain evidence.

However, the frontier troops had always done this before, so Yang Hong had been doing this either intentionally or forced to do so.

But now, these things have become his reminder.

If the emperor wants to rectify his army, he must kill chickens to scare monkeys.

This person should not only hold a high position in the government, but also not have too many connections.

Without the former, it will not be able to act as a deterrent, while without the latter, it will cause uproar in the DPRK and cause turmoil in the DPRK.

Both of these are not what the emperor wants.

Yang Hong has a prominent family, has numerous military exploits, and is in charge of the Beijing camp. He is considered to be the leading figure among the military officials. However, at the same time, after he entered the capital, he did not have too much involvement with his old relatives, so he perfectly met these two conditions.

At the same time, as we all know, although Yang Hong was not single-handedly promoted by the emperor, he was trusted by the emperor and entrusted with the power of the capital camp.

From the time Yang Hong took action, no matter who was found in the military camp later, it would be difficult to talk about the emperor's selfishness.

Therefore, there was almost no thought for this candidate.

However……

Looking at the emperor's troubled expression at this moment, Yu Qian thought, after all, the emperor still cares about love.

Although the Yang family is an extremely suitable candidate, their great contribution to the country and their loyalty to the emperor are also true.

Although there were signs before, when it came time to make this decision, the emperor probably felt uncomfortable in his heart.

After thinking about it, Yu Qian finally consoled him.

"Your Majesty, the military garrison is of great importance. If the situation cannot be opened up in the early stage, it will be difficult in the future. I know that your Majesty is kind-hearted, but for the sake of the court, I still ask your Majesty to be firm in your determination. If your Majesty is unwilling to take action personally, I am willing to do everything for you.

Vanguard."

Sure enough, after saying these words, the emperor's brows opened slightly, and he looked at Yu Qian with a little more approval and said.

"In this case, I will leave this matter to Mr. Yu. However, we need to be cautious when it comes to the Marquis Mansion. If I remember correctly, Yi Ming has been in Fengxiang Mansion for a year, right?"

The first half of this sentence was addressed to Yu Qian, and the second half was addressed to Cheng Jing.

Maybe others are unfamiliar with this name, but Cheng Jing is very familiar with it.

Like Yu Yan, Yi Ming was also an old minister of the Qiandi Palace, but he was sent to the local magistrate early.

So, Cheng Jing replied: "Your Majesty, exactly one year and half a month ago, Lord Yi returned to Beijing to report on his work to the Ministry of Personnel. The evaluation given by the Ministry of Personnel was above average."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "In this case, I will order Yi Ming to be transferred to the right of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the censor of Gandu to inspect Gansu. After the imperial court opens the seal in the next year, he will set off."

The prefect of Fengxiang is a fourth-rank official, and the right-hand censor of the Duchayuan is also a fourth-rank official, which is not a super promotion.

Of course, serving as the governor as the censor of Qiandu shows the advantages of Conglong's ministers.

However, this is nothing. What makes Yu Qian confused is...

"Gansu?"

It should be noted that although Yang Hong has traveled to many places over the years and has been stationed everywhere, the place where he started and the place where he operates is basically in the Xuanfu area. Even if he wants to investigate, he should send people to Xuanfu. Why?



As if he didn't hear Yu Qian's whisper, the emperor continued to speak calmly and said.

"Mr. Yu, please take a hard trip. After you go back today, compile all the information about the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and the Yangwu Marquis Mansion that you have found into a book, and hand it over to Yi Ming, so that he can set off immediately after the year.

Investigate the crimes committed by these two mansions in the military camp."

Hearing the names of these two mansions, Yu Qian was in a daze for a moment.

After a moment, Yu Qian reacted and asked.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to investigate Marquis Ningyuan first?"

Yu Qian can probably still get some clues about the affairs of Marquis Yangwu.

To be honest, among the noble families, the Marquis of Yangwu Mansion is not considered prominent, and there are no outstanding disciples serving as officials in the court, so its influence is mediocre.

Even in the case of the military garrison, since there were not many direct manpower in the frontier army, the degree of Yangwuhou Mansion's invasion of the garrison was not particularly severe.

Therefore, originally, the Yangwu Marquis Mansion would not be used as a warning to the monkeys, but since the emperor asked just now, he naturally had this intention.

Yu Qian guessed that he had something to do with the Prince Consort Xue Huan.

However, Marquis Ningyuan...
