The thick autumn mood dyes the forest and vegetation in the palace garden golden. Under the slightly dim autumn sun, the surrounding area is filled with brilliant colors. When you are there, you can't help but blend into this pleasing scenery.
.
Riding the rustling autumn wind, galloping on horseback, and shooting with a bow, was a rare entertainment enjoyment for Emperor Liu in this autumn. Of course, it was also because of the irreversible increase in fat and fat around his waist that he had to
Add some exercise.
Even though Emperor Liu consciously wanted to avoid it on weekdays, after being pampered for a long time, his body's functions were constantly deteriorating. In recent years, Emperor Liu had experienced this feeling of decay very deeply, feeling both helpless and depressed.
.
No, after riding the horse in Xiyuan for less than half an hour, he felt out of breath and exhausted. In this regard, Emperor Liu never forced himself or forced himself, and soon chose to dismount and walk.
, to relieve physical fatigue.
During horse racing and archery, the intense exercise and flowing sweat could still make Emperor Liu feel a bit of vitality, and he could even reminisce about the high-spirited and high-spirited military life he once had.
However, his body gradually cooled down, and the feeling of being burdened by a heavy weight and unable to cope with his strength suddenly came back. The most direct feedback from his body told him that it was really no better than before.
"I seem to be really old!" Looking at the wheat-yellow turf swaying in the autumn wind in front of him, Emperor Liu seemed to have infinite emotion in his voice: "Back then, I was able to march hundreds of miles with ease, but now I can't
It’s not working anymore. If I bump a little bit, I’ll feel weak!”
"Why did Your Majesty say this?" On one side, Yang Ye, who was accompanying him, heard the words and immediately made an expression of surprise. His surprised tone was full of compliments: "Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and Autumn, and the dragon is walking like a tiger. Just now, he is galloping forward.
It still retains its former glory, and I feel fascinated and intuitive that I can still follow His Majesty and fight for twenty years!"
"Haha!" Yang Ye's expression was upright, but after hearing his words, Emperor Liu couldn't help but feel happy. He pointed at him and said, "You Yang Chonggui! I don't know who you learned these flattering words from?"
The emperor's tone was pleasant, and Yang Ye couldn't help but feel relaxed, and said, "I just have something in my mind, and it's all based on my feelings!"
"You!" Emperor Liu's slightly raised corners of his mouth showed that he was in a good mood.
Yang Ye is not very clever in flattery. Compared with those ministers who have poems and books in their bellies and fluent tongues, his words seem a bit pale and nutritious. They are not even as good as the eunuch Yantuo who can scratch Emperor Liu's heart itch.
.
Yang Ye has an upright temperament and is full of righteousness. When facing his colleagues and subordinates, he often has a heroic and majestic face. Only in front of Emperor Liu will he pick up the troubles that he is not good at and is not very willing to please.
Happy behavior.
There is nothing that can be done about it. People always grow. In more than twenty years, Yang Ye has not only transformed into a meritorious and prestigious general. When Yang Ye reaches his current status, he is not just a general.
A military general who is also a political star..
A person who plays politics, even if he can stick to some of his principles and bottom lines, will inevitably be affected by the environment, adapt and change. In front of Emperor Liu, he restrained his edges and showed some cleverness and tact, and treated Yang
In terms of business, it doesn't seem that difficult.
Of course, Yang Ye is also full of confidence in Emperor Liu, and does not think that Emperor Liu will have any negative impression of him because of these flattering words, or will indulge in them. This is just a habit developed over more than 20 years.
They showed a consensus when facing the emperor.
During Emperor Liu's imperial journey, many outstanding talents and heroes of the era emerged, and there were also quite a few people whom Emperor Liu regarded as his confidants and whom he relied on as the Qiancheng.
But these people, as they become successful and famous, they either get sick or die, or retreat to the second line, or return to living and enjoying themselves. Of course, there are also some who are blamed and deposed.
Times have changed, things have been ups and downs, and so have people's circumstances. But among the trendsetters of the times, Yang Ye seems to be a special case. To this day, he is still the emperor's most trusted general, enjoying high titles, occupying important positions, and holding great power.
, and even became a central figure in the military power of the Han Dynasty.
After returning to the capital, he was rewarded for his merits and his title did not change. He was still a county prince, but his position was promoted to the pinnacle of Yang Ye's military and political career, and he was the commander of the army in front of him.
The passage of time did not seem to have any impact on Yang Ye. Emperor Liu's trust in him seemed to never deteriorate. It was like a jar of old wine that became more fragrant with age. He was always regarded as a stock and entrusted with important responsibilities.
This kind of honor and favor brought Yang Ye supreme glory, but it also came with pressure. This pressure, since the emperor trusted this already very heavy thing, also came from all kinds of looks and comments inside and outside.
Others have admiration and envy for Yang Ye, as well as jealousy and surprise. Many people are unable to figure out what is so special about Yang Ye.
In terms of talents, achievements, and character, he is not unique. If he is said to be loyal and diligent, no one will feel that he is not loyal enough to the emperor or not responsible enough to the court.
In the end, one can only lament the fate of life. In the final analysis, the Holy Heart is still unpredictable. The emperor's preferences and preferences can indeed determine the upper limit of a general and the rise and fall of a family. This is the country ruled by Emperor Liu.
The truest aspect of the times.
Some situations do seem to be special. In the past, those generals who had made great achievements, after returning to the court, while enjoying generous rewards and treatment, would be "cooled down" for a period of time, and then appointed according to the situation.
Over the years, the military system has undergone several changes, accompanied by the passing of heroes and the transfer of senior generals' positions, all of which reflect Emperor Liu's unspoken intentions.
No one is a fool, and it is difficult for a fool to become a high-level general of the Han Dynasty. But the special thing about Yang Ye is that Emperor Liu never seemed to worry that he would become arrogant due to his favor. The phrase "high achievements shake the master" does not seem to appear in Yang Ye.
Karma is average, even though his current power, prestige and status are already high enough.
Let’s look at the generals in the past. From far away there are Shi Hongzhao, Guo Wei, the famous Wei Gong and Ying Gong, and recently there are Rong Gong and An Gong who completed the Kaibao Northern Expedition. These changes in positions are enough to prove something.
The Han army has a complete system and strict hierarchy. If we only talk about military positions, there is no doubt that the commander of the imperial army of the three yamen stands at the top of the pyramid. Among the three yamen, the status of the palace commander has gradually become higher than that of the other two.
The Yaban class is truly the first of the three Yamen.
This is also caused by many factors. There may not be a clear distinction between high and low in terms of authority. However, the Dianqian Division included the most important army when Emperor Liu started his career. The Longqi Army is still the most important army under the Dianqian Division. At the same time,
The main areas responsible for garrisoning are also in the two capitals.
Unlike the Guards Department, which needs to take care of the perimeter of the capital's defense and undertake some border and local guarding tasks, the Inspection Department is more busy. Over time, even within the army, they will subconsciously feel that the specifications of the Front Department are higher.
High and above half level.
Emperor Liu's balancing method made it very smooth and flexible. In his eyes, the three yamen represented the three parts of the imperial army's military power, which checked and balanced each other, and it indeed played such a role.
However, the human heart is the most unpredictable. In different environments and atmospheres, even when faced with the same things, there will be gaps. And the difference in status between the Forbidden Army and the Forbidden Army has gradually become apparent as time goes by.
Of course, this does not mean that there is something wrong. The superiority and inferiority are also the internal reasons for the system structure to maintain stability. Emperor Liu did not impose any unnecessary means on this, and insisted on emphasizing that the three Yamen Imperial Guards had equal status and equal treatment.
.
No matter what, after Yang Ye became the commander-in-chief, he can also be said to have become the number one general of the Han Dynasty. Not only because of this position, when comparing the generals of the Han Dynasty, no one can compare with Yang Ye.
Regardless of age, merit, qualifications, or prestige, when combined, he is number one.
However, Emperor Liu's trust was naturally not unreserved, and this was impossible. He would occasionally doubt even himself, let alone others.
Sometimes, he can't help but have some suspicions. Li Chongju has made him deeply understand the complexity of the human heart.
In history, the legendary reputation of Yang Linggong is mixed with too many romantic colors, and it also embodies people's emotions of admiration, sigh, pity, or anger. And Yang Ye did not reach the height and status of the Han dynasty.
They were different, the powers they held were different, and their reputations and merits were even more different. Whether this would make a difference, Emperor Liu himself was unable to grasp.
Of course, Emperor Liu didn't care that much. What he needed to grasp was always himself. Before he felt uneasy in his heart, everything was still beautiful and bright, at least on the surface. What people saw might still be a relationship between a monarch and a minister.
A fitting story.
Yang Ye was naturally not insensitive to politics. In the Han Dynasty, as a commander-in-chief, he could not be a political idiot. Therefore, when serving Emperor Liu, he always maintained a low profile and modesty, and accompanied the emperor like a tiger.
I still understand, right now, I am smiling with you, the autumn wind is blowing, but it is like the spring breeze blowing on my face.
