Chapter 1400 Zhu Wenyu is determined to win over Li Yang
What?
As soon as the Fourth King Zhu Wentao said these words, the whole audience was shocked. Everyone looked in disbelief, even the Emperor Zhu Wenyu was no exception.
Yu Huai's loyalty is obvious to all. He has been in charge of the Forbidden Army for thirty years and has worked conscientiously without making any mistakes. He has always followed the emperor's lead.
Impeach him for forming a party for personal gain, bending the law for personal gain, and intending to commit rebellion?
"Fourth, what are you doing?"
"Fourth brother, do you have any basis for just talking nonsense here?"
"Everyone knows who Yu Huai is. Is it interesting for you to slander others?"
The second prince, the fifth prince, and the eighth prince all criticized and questioned him. They had a good relationship with Yu Huai and were quite unhappy. Although the other ministers did not say anything, they certainly showed disbelief and laughed.
"Of course I have a basis! You stand up to defend him. This is a manifestation of his forming a clique for personal gain!"
Zhu Wentao said coldly, with a noncommittal tone.
"Stop talking nonsense. According to your logic, we who serve as officials in the court can't make friends?"
The second prince rolled his eyes at him angrily.
"Fourth brother, you are indeed far-fetched!"
The fifth prince also felt a little bit dumbfounded.
"What kind of evidence do you have? Tell me if you have any. If you don't have any, it's just conjecture. Don't waste everyone's time. Are you kidding me?"
The Eighth Prince also said unhappily.
Zhu Wentao's face turned red and he felt a little embarrassed.
He also knew that it was far-fetched, but he had promised Concubine Xi, so he would naturally try his best, and he would have to pull it off no matter what.
"Four Kings, I, Yu, have not offended you. You must speak clearly today, otherwise I will never agree!"
Yu Huai said angrily.
He was drinking with the four kings a few days ago. The eldest and younger brothers of the four kings were very friendly. But in just a few days, their faces have changed?
He was impeached inexplicably and listed extremely serious crimes. How could he not be angry?
"Yu Aiqing, calm down!"
Emperor Zhu Wenyu first comforted him, then looked at Zhu Wentao and said, "Wen Tao, please speak more clearly. Do you have any real evidence?"
"No."
Zhu Wentao replied directly.
Zhu Wenyu: "..." This fourth child, what is going on today? Maybe he took the wrong medicine. He still trusts Yu Huai very much. Yu Huai is his confidant and confidant.
He has made numerous meritorious deeds and escorted many people, especially when the Eighteen Martial Lords of the Qiankun Continent assassinated him three years ago. It was Yu Huai who stood in front of him regardless of his own safety. It was precisely because of Yu Huai's fight to the death that he delayed the time for others to dare to come and support him.
He gained time. It can be said that if it weren't for Yu Huai, he would have died long ago.
"Although I have no evidence, Yu Huai is the commander of the imperial army, and the imperial army is responsible for the security of the imperial city. If Yu Huai has different intentions, the consequences will be disastrous. I have found some clues, so of course I have to mention it."
"My brother is not looking for trouble for nothing. He is always looking for trouble. He is full of good friends and has the ability and suspicion to form cliques for personal gain. This is a fact. There is a factual basis for saying that he bends the law for personal gain. A few days ago, his son rescued a woman in order to please him.
Li Yang, and Yu Huai really protected me and suppressed the matter and covered it up!"
"As far as I know, many of his subordinates know about this matter, but none of them reported it to the emperor. This means that these people in the Forbidden Army do not have the emperor in their hearts, only Yu Huai! Yu Huai is very good at winning over people and soldiers.
What does he want to do by winning over the people and the army? Isn’t it suspected of treason?”
Zhu Wentao talked endlessly and his words were very sharp and to the point.
Emperor Zhu Wenyu couldn't help but change his expression, and felt a little thump in his heart. It wasn't that he really thought that Yu Huai had the intention to rebel, but that Yu Huai really wanted to be on guard.
"Your Majesty, my rebellious son made a mistake, and I have confessed to you. I am just a son, and it is human nature for me to protect him. As for saying that I win over the military's morale, this is really untenable. I am a son.
How can an army commander command an army if he does not maintain his authority?"
Yu Huai broke into a cold sweat and said quickly, "I am loyal and loyal, and I hope the emperor will learn from it!"
"Yu Aiqing, don't be nervous."
Zhu Wenyu smiled lightly and said, "Although the Four Kings think a little too much, their intentions are good. Don't annoy him. Let's leave it alone. This matter ends here!"
"yes!"
Yu Huai bowed and exited, followed by the other officials.
Zhu Wenyu stood alone in the main hall, with his hands behind his back, and murmured, "This Yu Huai is not very reliable. He can't be promoted, but if Yu Huai can't do it, who else can?"
He thought about it for a day and found no choice.
In the evening, he went to Xihua Palace to visit Concubine Xi.
"My lord, what happened to you today? Is there something on your mind?"
Yang Huanhuan poured wine for him and said with concern.
"I'm very worried about the affairs of the imperial court. Wang Zhangxuan and Hu Yidao's relationship has improved now. I want to promote someone to check both of them, but there is no candidate."
Zhu Wenyu sighed, "My first thought was to promote Yu Huai and assign some local troops to his command, but Yu Huai has already served as the admiral of the nine sects and the commander of the forbidden army. If he gains wings, it will be difficult to control him!
"
"Yu Huai is indeed not suitable. Hey, I suddenly remembered someone. Do you think Li Yang can do it?"
Yang Huanhuan pretended to be casual.
"who?
My dear, it’s a joke!”
Zhu Wenyu wasn't angry either. He couldn't help but laugh, as if he had heard a big joke.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand the important affairs of the imperial court, but I know that if Li Yang enters the imperial court and has no party members or friends, he will not be able to form a party for personal gain within at least five years!"
"Li Yang controls the Shanhe Army. The Shanhe Army has 2.3 million soldiers and horses. His power is no weaker than that of the Wang and Hu families. It is most suitable to use him as a clamp. You don't even need to allocate troops and horses to him."
"In addition, Li Yang has stayed in my palace, and I know him somewhat. This person is very emotional. As long as you win over him a little and play the emotional card, he will be loyal to you!"
Yang Huanhuan said calmly, speaking neither urgently nor slowly.
"This..." Zhu Wenyu was a little moved, so he had to admit that what Xi Guifei said was reasonable. Li Yang did have the strength to restrain Wang and Hu, but Li Yang could really win him over and serve him wholeheartedly.
?
After all, Li Yang has a criminal record! "If the emperor doesn't trust him, it's easy to separate him from his Shanhe Army. Li Yang will stay in the court as king, and the Shanhe Army will continue to garrison Qingyang City.
Nothing is lost.”
Yang Huanhuan continued.
When Zhu Wenyu heard this, he finally nodded and glanced at the eunuch Zhang Hua next to him.
"You go to Nanshan Villa tomorrow and invite Li Yang to come over for a banquet. Oh no, you go over now and inform him so that he can feel at ease."
Zhu Wenyu ordered, and after thinking for a while, he added: "Choose a few treasures from the warehouse and bring them over as gifts!"
When Yang Huanhuan heard this, she lowered her head to eat the food and put the smile on her face for a moment. The matter was probably done. Li Yang, the brat, was about to escape from danger. Everything was planned by her. She had long known about the impeachment of the four kings.
He can't help Yu Huai, but the Emperor is suspicious by nature and will definitely be wary of Yu Huai!
