Yang Heshu's voice was slightly colder and more powerful, "Since the Eighth Uncle is also doing it for the good of the family, we should think more long-term."
"Wealth and glory in the world have always been inseparable from money and power. We are indispensable for both. Money can come from thousands of ways, but power can only be found in one place." He said: "Three times last time.
The real estate agent made a mistake, and most of our Yang family's business in Jiangnan belongs to His Majesty. Why should we have such a quarrel with him and the princes in the court for such a small amount of money?"
He knew that since the incident in Sanfang, the family had entrusted Yang Balang to take charge of all matters in Jiangnan.
With his support, Yang Heshu's behavior and safety in Jiangnan are more secure.
He said: "Maybe others are happy to see us like this."
Although all the families are now united in the face of the emperor, they are not of the same mind, and many of them have grudges and enmities, not to mention competing interests.
Yang Heshu's purpose is obvious. Will Yang fight for these temporarily cooperating competitors or even enemies?
Yang Balang fell silent.
Yang Heshu lowered his eyes and put aside all the official documents he had processed, "Uncle Eighth, why not wait a moment and see what each family does."
He said softly: "Although the things in the hands of His Royal Highness are very important, each family is not unable to escape. It just has to give up some people and give up some things. The salt tax is related to the country, and Jiangnan is a granary of the Jin Dynasty. The imperial court
The princes will not watch him cause chaos."
Yang Balang's thoughts changed and he raised his head and looked at him seriously, "Chang Bo, where are you from?"
Yang Heshu smiled slightly and said: "Eighth Uncle, I am a minister of the Jin Dynasty, the eldest son of the Yang family, and I am also Yang Heshu."
Yang Balang seemed to realize something. After a while, he stood up and said, "I hope you remember what you said today."
Yang Heshu looked at him with a deep look, "I know what you are thinking. Many people in the clan are dissatisfied with me, but I have never forgotten my identity. I am the son of the Yang family and the eldest son trained by the family. Everyone in the clan is the same.
My relatives, am I going to watch them die?"
Yang Balang thought the same thing. Yang Heshu had been excellent since he was a child. His excellence lay not only in his knowledge but also in his character. He would not be able to do anything that would jeopardize his clan members for his career.
Yang Balang breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became more sincere. He said with a smile: "Uncle Eight is overthinking it. Don't be as knowledgeable as Uncle Eight. Let's go, let's go, we can't finish this official business. Let's go eat first."
, I brought a jar of good wine with me when I came, and we opened it tonight."
Yang Heshu smiled slightly and agreed.
He also needed Yang Balang to pass on some news.
Yang Heshu looked at the aristocratic families in Jiangnan and knew that their alliance was not very strong, and the people in it naturally knew that except for themselves, no one else was very trustworthy.
So after the arrangements in the capital were settled, they each began to have backup plans.
The governor of Yanzhou is dead, and no one knows how many people were recorded in his book or who they were.
But no matter who is there, whether it can be effective in the capital, they have done their best, and then it is up to fate.
If it fails, those who are always in contact with the Yanzhou governor will have no choice but to give up.
And if you give up on them, you have to clean up the tail.
So recently, all the families and tribes have been restraining their children and started to quietly clear up their tails. Not only can Yang Heshu and the court not find out, but also the alliance can't get hold of them.
Well, at the same time, it's best to seize their handle, maybe it will be useful in the future. Even if you can't get something from them, it's better to die as a Taoist friend than to die as a poor Taoist if you have to.
In addition to revealing some information from Yang Balang, Yang Heshu also spent a lot of money to quietly get close to those people's aides, either directly or from the side, influencing them.
After working so hard for half a month, as the news of the prince's arrival in Beijing came, fewer and fewer people came to assassinate him. Up to now, no one has come to kill him for three consecutive days.
Yang Heshu breathed a sigh of relief quietly and said to Wan Tian: "Reward the guards who have made meritorious service this time. Those who died in battle will be treated kindly to their families."
"Yes." Wan Tian paused and then said: "Master Lang, Mr. Hachiro also asked me today how many guards we brought this time and how many people were injured this time. I was a little confused. Mr. Hachiro looked at me.
Not very happy."
"You should go and report the number of our casualties now. As for how many people we brought, there is no need to say." Yang Heshu said calmly: "We must let the clan know that other clans do not care much about their friendship with the Yang family.
I, the sect, will show mercy."
Sure enough, Yang Balang became very unhappy after hearing the recent number of casualties.
Yes, the clan was not happy that Yang Heshu was working for the emperor and was on the opposite side of them, but that didn't mean that other families could bully their eldest son of the Yang family in this way.
Yang Balang thought about it, and maybe Yang Heshu was right. It was not wise to confront the imperial court head-on at this time. The Yang family's roots were not in Jiangnan, and a lot of things had been taken away by the emperor before, so it was better to take this opportunity to leave.
Unfortunately, it's not easy when you come in, and it's even harder to leave.
However, there was an incident in the third house before, and the other families did not know about the things the emperor took from the Yang family. Because they were still operating as usual, and there were old people of the Yang family, the other families still regarded them as Yang family members.
If it is given to the emperor...
Yang Balang just thought about it and shook his head, no, quitting means quitting. If he betrays the covenant, I'm afraid he will attract many enemies in the future...
Only then did Yang Balang feel that it was not easy to be the clan leader and eldest son. There were too many things to consider.
At this time, the prince was also whispering to his father, "Father, we don't need to think so much. With this booklet here, we can just send troops to surround them all and capture them all."
The prince arrived at the capital with two thousand soldiers and horses a few days ago, but he did not let them enter the city. Instead, they stayed outside the city. Before the censor who came to hold him accountable could speak, he took Tang He and others into the city.
Already.
After quarreling for a long time, the noisy people who came to question the prince whether he really wanted to rebel saw that he brought a few people with him and entered the city. They were not afraid of the forbidden troops they brought, so they knew that the prince had no intention of rebellion.
So everyone gathered around the prince to enter the palace, but before he could speak to the emperor, two officials who had been writing letters to the prince in the past few days, believing that the prince was revolting, committed suicide at home.
Yin Li acted quickly, but he was only able to save one person. He was directly removed from the jaw and thrown into the sky prison. As a result, the civil and military officials in the court immediately became silent and stopped talking about the matter at all. It was as if they were arguing back and forth between two possibilities some time ago.
, they are not the same people who made the whole court about to collapse.
Today, the gentleman is finally willing to speak. Although not many people have been recruited, he can still accuse some people with the book in the prince's hand.
However, the emperor threw the book aside and said: "There are personal names on it. They can abandon the car to save the commander."
"Implicated!"
"It's just corruption. It doesn't matter if it implicates your family. Do you still want to implicate your clan members?" The emperor asked: "Are you going to become a tyrant in advance?"
The prince blushed and said, "Is it okay to frame the prince?"
"Only one family has been confessed to frame you, and it cannot implicate so many families."
The prince stared, "Is that why I was framed for nothing?"
The emperor said calmly: "The most important purpose of your being framed is not to force Jiangnan to rebel, to give them time to act, and to save Yang Heshu."
The prince then came back to his senses and said, "It turns out that Tang He was showing favoritism."
