The situation is now very clear. Yang Jie must have other plans in Wala.

However, with the lessons learned from the past, no matter what he plans, it will be extremely difficult.

Moreover, it is also more cunning and ruthless than Tuotuobuhua.

Therefore, once this decree is issued, it is really uncertain whether Yang Jie's life can be saved.

At this time, the emperor pondered and spoke again.

"There are no other people here. Marquis Yang doesn't have to hold back. Just tell me directly. I still say the same thing. Yang Jie has done enough for the Ming Dynasty. I can think of other ways to do the rest."

"The Yang family has been loyal to the country for generations. If Marquis Yang makes a decision, I can issue another decree and send a delegation to the grassland in the name of the Ming Dynasty. I will also order him to be released immediately."

"Now that Wala's strength has not been restored, and chaos has arisen in the grassland, although Yang Jie has offended Ye Xian, he is only an envoy after all. It is difficult to use it to threaten the Ming Dynasty, and he cannot pose a great threat to Ye Xian.

"

"In order not to offend Ming Dynasty, I dare not not let him go even if I think about it!"

After hearing the emperor's words, Yang Hong's expression was complicated.

Thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from God.

Although the emperor's tone was gentle, Yang Hong knew very well that there was a price to pay for the choice the emperor gave him.

Yang Jie's return now means that the imperial court will have to clean up the remaining mess.

This is of course not impossible, as the Emperor said, the Ming Dynasty is so big that it cannot cope with the current situation.

However, once the entire court is involved, the attitude of the civil and military officials must be considered.

As the instigator, even if the emperor is protecting him, the pressure Yang Jie faces will not be small.

It is even possible that from now on, the Yang family will be completely marginalized in the court, and this is the best choice the emperor can give to the Yang family. At least, based on past achievements, the Yang family can keep the honor of the Marquis Mansion.

, Yang Jie can also keep his life safe.

However, if you decide to take the risk.

Well, first of all, Yang Jie's life is difficult to guarantee, and secondly, there are dangers and ever-changing situations on the grassland, so he may not be able to succeed.

Once it fails, the pressure will also come to the Yang family.

Advance? Or retreat?

This is related to Yang Jie's life and the Yang family's future status in the court.

Because of this, the emperor let him choose.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Hong frowned, but he did not hesitate, but cupped his hands.

"I know that Your Majesty is very considerate, but the Yang family has been guarding the border for generations, for the sake of peace on the border and stability of the country."

"My son is in Wala now. Although there are dangers everywhere, since he has made a plan in his mind, he should be confident."

"With His Majesty and all the civil and military officials in the imperial court, it is natural that the chaos on the grassland can be properly resolved. However, the price paid must not be small."

"In this case, how can a child's life be worth comparing with the interests of the country?"

"I ask Your Majesty to order me to cut off my son with my camera. If I don't kill him, I will do it first. I swear not to return to the capital!"

Yang Hong said these words categorically, but Zhu Qiyu looked hesitant and said.

"Yang Hou, Wala and Tatar are different. Now that Yang Jie's plan has been discovered, it will be more difficult to succeed. You don't have to..."

"His Majesty!"

Sensing the emperor's conflicting mood, Yang Hong's tone became even firmer.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Hong's mood became a little low and he said.

"I'm not just saying something, nor am I forced to do it because of the so-called righteousness."

"When my son left the capital and went to Yibei, he once said something to his nephew Yang Xin when he left Xuanfu. Later, Yang Xin relayed this sentence to me through a letter from home. I still remember this sentence freshly.

.”

As he spoke, Yang Hong raised his head, with pride on his old face, and said.

"Xiao'er said that he is also a descendant of the Yang family!"

"The Yang family has defended the country's borders for generations. They have fought bloody battles for generations, wrapped their bodies in horse leather, and died on the battlefield. This is the destination of the Yang family, and it is a supreme honor."

"Jie'er was born weak and unable to practice martial arts, but his loyalty to the emperor and the country was never inferior to anyone's."

"Now that he has the opportunity to serve the country and restore peace to the Ming Dynasty's border for a hundred years, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will definitely be willing to sacrifice his life for it."

"As Jie'er's father, I feel that it is a blessing for our family to have such a son. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to grant Jie'er's request and let him complete his mission as a descendant of the Yang family!"

Seeing Yang Hong's determined look, Zhu Qiyu sighed, and at the end, he nodded slightly.

"In that case, I'm sure."

Yang Hong breathed a sigh of relief, but did not get up, but continued to speak.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have another unkind request. I hope Your Majesty will grant it!"

…………

After a long time, Yang Hong walked out of the palace, walking very slowly step by step, but with his back as straight as a green pine.

The bleak autumn wind swirled the withered yellow leaves in the sky, but it could not move the people standing in the wind.

Zhu Qiyu stood at the door of the palace, looking at this veteran who had fought bloody battles for many years with a complicated expression.

On the other side, Yu Shiyue, who was called back, looked worriedly at the edict he had just written in his hand, hesitated again and again, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, for such a big matter, do you really not need to wait for the morning meeting to discuss it before issuing an order?"

"No need!"

Seeing Yang Hong's back gradually disappearing, Zhu Qiyu turned around, looked far away, and said calmly.
