The Yang family has great influence among the border army.

How could Yang Hong be able to bear the title of "King Yang" if the entire border army was not sincerely convinced?

However, the more this is the case, the more caution is needed.

Yang Hong should be regarded as a relatively rare general with both civil and military skills. He is not only proficient in military strategy, but also in the righteousness of saints and the classics and history.

Because of this, although he was a military commander, he never despised civil servants. Instead, he was willing to let his legitimate son Yang Jie stay in the capital to study the classics.

Therefore, Yang Hong certainly knew in his heart how dangerous the road Yang Neng was talking about was.

As a military commander, the most fearful thing is to shock the master with great achievements.

What is high merit?

Is it the so-called credit itself? No, it is the influence brought by this credit.

With your outstanding military exploits, you will surely be highly respected in the army. You will respond to every call. If you support the great leader and hold the world in check, you will definitely speak your mind in the court.

Power and position born of merit are the source of the shock.

The Yang family has a single horse on the battlefield and has made many achievements in battles, but it will not shock the master with its high achievements.

However, if this military exploit is transformed into a force that can threaten the imperial court, it will be difficult to wash away the suspicion of being the master.

By then, the Yang family may be able to survive the current crisis, but the road ahead will inevitably be thorny.

Yang Hong didn't believe that his nephew, who was known for his scheming, would not have thought of this.

Hu Laowei was still there, feeling his uncle's stern gaze, Yang Neng seemed to have returned to the military camp for a moment, subconsciously straightened his back and said.

"Uncle, you often teach us that a righteous mind leads to a righteous body. The only way to use military force is to be dignified and upright. To win by righteousness and harmony, we must make dangerous moves when the odds are against us."

"My nephew understands that this move will definitely make the imperial court dissatisfied, and the Yang family will be in trouble for this in the future. However, uncle, please think about it, if you can't pass this hurdle..."

"Does the Yang family still have a future?"

The sound stopped and the room became quiet.

The snow falling outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the snow was getting thicker and thicker. The winter bamboos that were supposed to stand in the cold were bent down under the heavy snow.

Some branches seemed to be overwhelmed, and accompanied by creaking sounds, large chunks of snow and broken branches fell to the ground together, making a rustling sound.

The candlelight danced in the room. Yang Hong was silent for a long time, with a complicated look on his face, and said.

"Neng'er, do you know that drinking poison to quench thirst requires an antidote? You gave the Yang family a glass of poison wine to quench their thirst. Where is the antidote?"

At this point, if Yang Hong still can't see that Yang Neng came prepared, then he will have raised this nephew in vain.

Yang Neng simply spoke out two words and said:

"Nangong!"

These two simple words immediately made Yang Hong clenched his fists.

"what you up to?"

Yang Neng stood up and cupped his hands.

"Uncle, don't worry. The Yang family is a glorious family, and my nephew will never dare to let it be destroyed by himself. However, although the Supreme Emperor now lives in the Nangong, he still has his honorable position."

"So, according to my nephew, the future of the Yang family depends on Nangong."

Yang Hong frowned, but his expression softened slightly and he asked.

"What on earth do you mean?"

"Uncle, although there seems to be harmony between the monarch and his ministers in the DPRK, in fact, the emperor already holds great power."

"So, if he wants to take action against my Yang family, we will have no choice but to be at the mercy of others. But, has uncle ever thought about why the emperor chose my Yang family?"

Under the flickering candlelight, Yang Neng turned his face sideways, half of his body was hidden in the shadow, and his expression looked a little gloomy.

Although his tone was a question, he obviously had no intention of waiting for Yang Hong's answer and asked himself.

"It's precisely because the Yang family has been regarded as the emperor's people since they entered Beijing!"

As he spoke, a trace of ridicule and resentment flashed across Yang Neng's face and he said.

"When it comes to invading military camps, which one of the nobles from all over the capital did not do it? Which one of those nobles and nobles who refused to do so drank less of the blood of the soldiers?"

"While our Yang family was fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, they were sitting in the capital with exquisite delicacies, singing and dancing beauties, and fighting for power based on the merits of their ancestors."

"The fields we took away were all subsidized to the brothers in the army, but what about them? A hundred acres of fertile land can't compare to a banquet for them."

"So, why is it the Yang family?"

It can be seen that Yang Neng has been holding these words in his heart for a long time.

You know, originally he was stationed well at the border, but as a result, an order was issued to transfer him back to Beijing, saying that he would be assigned to the Beijing camp to take charge of military affairs.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the city gate, Yang Hong took him back to his mansion and knelt in front of the ancestral hall for three days.

Later, his brother Yang Jun, whom he had always been close to, was imprisoned, and he himself was banned from the mansion. From Yang Hong and Yang Jie's words and letters to Yang Xin, he learned about the difficulties facing the Changping Marquis Mansion.

At that time, Yang Neng felt dissatisfied!

Yes, the Yang family was indeed at fault regarding the military settlement.

But can you blame the Yang family?

The customs on the border are such that if the Yang family were to act independently, they would appear out of place and be ostracized.

In the capital, being suppressed may just mean being ignored.

However, being ostracized at the border often means being isolated and helpless on the battlefield.

This is a matter of life and death, how can we be careless?

What's more, most of the fields taken away by the Yang family were distributed to the generals and soldiers below, encouraging them to fight bravely against the enemy.

If not, why would the name "King Yang" come about that made Wala frightened by the news?

To put it another way, the Yang family may be at fault or even guilty.

But after all, he had served the country well. In order to show his loyalty, the entire Changping Houfu lived in seclusion after arriving in the capital and obeyed the emperor's orders.

But in the end, it turned out to be a sharpening stone for others?

Simply ridiculous!

The saying that birds of a feather flock together and people flock together, although it is absolute, is not unreasonable.

Among the four sons of the Yang family, only Yang Neng and Yang Jun have the best relationship, not because of anything else, but because both of them have a sense of arrogance hidden in their bones.

It's just that Yang Jun's arrogance is exposed, he acts recklessly, drinks and whips horses. He never thinks about the consequences when he does things, because he doesn't have to think about them.

The Yang family is the pillar of the country. Even if there is any trouble, it is just a matter of face and it will be over.

This is Yang Jun's pride and he makes no secret of it.

Yang Neng's pride, on the other hand, is restrained.

Different from Yang Jun's unscrupulousness, Yang Neng's arrogance is deep in his bones.

The Yang family's numerous military exploits and heroic spirit made him feel from the bottom of his heart that the Yang family was the Optimus Prime of the imperial court.

Without the Yang family, the border would not have been stable and peaceful for so long.

Therefore, no matter what happens, Yang Neng will cover it up for Yang Jun. The biggest reason is that these things are not a big deal in his eyes.

The 'little mistakes' that Yang Jun made were nothing compared to the numerous achievements of the Yang family.

Therefore, when he returned to the capital with great joy and felt that he should be reused by the imperial court, he learned that the Yang family was in danger of being destroyed. Yang Neng's first feeling was...

Why?!

Why did the Yang family, a loyal family, have to be caught for this one fault? Why did the loyal uncle have to be the first to be pulled out to sacrifice the flag? Why were they not killed by the bandits on the battlefield?

When he arrived in the capital, he had to swallow his anger.

Yang Neng was dissatisfied, but he had no choice.

The strategizing on the battlefield was of no use in the capital.

In fact, as early as when he knew that his uncle planned to enter the palace to surrender to the emperor, Yang Neng felt that doing so would be too aggrieved.

Not to mention, my family's repeated concessions did not receive the slightest mercy from the emperor.

Although, Yang Neng acted very relaxed in front of Yang Hong.

However, only he himself knew how disgusting the "business-like" expressions of the officials from the Criminal Department were when he went to visit Yang Jun.

"Uncle, if you keep forbearing for a long time, you will only be bullied. The Yang family remains standing on the border because of its reputation with real swords and real guns."

"Although the court is not a battlefield, if everyone knows that the Yang family is a hard stone that cannot be chewed, how can they be the first to point a sword at it?"

The more Yang Neng spoke, the more excited he became. He clenched his fists unconsciously and hammered the couch, saying.

Seeing Yang Neng like this, Yang Hong also sighed and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.

After a while, he said.

"I know that you have every strategy on the battlefield and you are arrogant, but Neng'er, this is the capital, not a place where martial arts can solve problems. You..."
