Empress Dowager Yu was so easy to talk to, which caught Uncle Yu off guard.
He had already prepared a long speech to tell Empress Dowager Yu how critical the situation is now. If the situation in Jiankang cannot be calmed down, it would not be a matter of the eldest brother's reputation.
Instead, Empress Dowager Yu and the entire Yu family would fall into a hell that would never be restored.
For example, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, He Jin, who was also the uncle of the country, was also powerful for the time being, but he was assassinated by the Ten Eunuchs when Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie was underage.
Everyone knows what fate did Empress Dowager He and Liu Xie encounter later.
Considering that half of the country has fallen into the hands of demons, the emperor's authority is much more fragile than Emperor Xian of Han at that time.
In order to gain power and establish authority, Yu Yuangui offended countless aristocratic families and royal families.
Now that the riots are about to begin, the most important thing is to quickly transfer troops to Beijing to stabilize order.
Otherwise, the entire Jiankang would fall into a bloody storm.
Of course, if the person who came to serve the king was an ambitious man like Dong Zhuo, the outcome might not be much better...
But when it comes to this stage, the emperor should consider how to step down with a decent amount, rather than forcing him to turn the tables.
Now the Yu family faces the same problem:
Given the complete imbalance of the situation and the power of the situation, after Yu Yuangui suddenly passed away and the gentry group rose up to resist, the emperor's position could basically be saved.
If he did nothing, the Yu family would be completely torn apart in the subsequent fierce political battle with the aristocratic clans.
But if troops are transferred to Beijing, will Dong Zhuo or Liu Bei come?
After Liu Bei accepted the abdication, he would probably still care about his family affection. Dong Zhuo came but wanted to stay in the dragon bed overnight and kill the queen mother!
After all, Cheng Jinyang is Princess Nankang's husband, and Yu is also a family member of his mother's family, so rather than saying that he is the cruel and unkind Dong Zhuo, he is more like Uncle Liu.
In addition to the many young ladies of aristocratic families in his harem, it proves that this person has a very good relationship with the gentry.
If this person could be helped, Yu would be able to retreat from the crisis of Yu Yuangui's death, avoiding the tragic ending of He, a foreign relative at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The relationship between Yu Yuangui was clearly explained to the Yu family's children before his death.
If Cheng Jinyang was not available, then in the face of the surging counterattack of the gentry, Yu Shuyu would immediately resign from his position as Jinyiwei, and immediately move up the river to Jingzhou, take over the position of commander-in-chief of the Longxiang Army left by Yu Yuangui, and then take the Yu family as soon as possible.
The children were placed in officer positions at all levels of the Longxiang Army.
The advantage of this is to turn the country into a family, turn Jingzhou into the territory of the Yu family, and turn the Longxiang army into the private army of the Yu family. In a short period of time, the gentry will be afraid of the rats and cannot take the opportunity to attack the Yu family.
As for the long-term impact, it can only be said that the harm outweighs the benefits and causes disaster.
In the past, the Wang family and the Sima family in Taiyuan were divided into half of the world, and Wang Chuzhong's rebellion almost destroyed most of the empire's national strength.
Such a bad lesson is here. The result of the Yu family's attempt to occupy Longxiang Army and Jingzhou is that it has dropped to the lowest point in the evaluation of Shiliu's clear discussion, and even became a traitor... Of course, death is a rapid or a chronic suicide, but in fact it is itself
There is no choice.
So now there is an existence like Cheng Jinyang. He is not only a son-in-law from the Yu family, but also a son-in-law from the five families. He is also an important official in Jingkou and the Northern Prefecture Army. A few days ago, he recovered Sichuan and Shu for the empire...
…
Strength, status, and political reputation are all the same.
As long as Cheng Jinyang comes forward to protect the Yu family of Yanling, there will be a lot of room for maneuver... No, with his strength and status, it is better to say that he can save the Yu family who was attacked by the crowd!
Otherwise, as the royal princess, could he still let Princess Nankang wear mourning clothes and mourning all over his body?
The above is Yu Yuangui's analysis of the entire political situation, and it is also the reason why Yu Shuqi intends to use it to convince Empress Dowager Yu.
However, before the conversation started, Empress Dowager Yu had already agreed to ask Cheng Jinyang for help, which caught Yu Shuyu off guard.
"Your Majesty?" Yu Shuyu decided to make it clearer, so as not to have unnecessary expectations and predictions about Cheng Jinyang. "This son-in-law and the gentry have a good relationship..."
"If this is the case, wouldn't it be right?" Empress Dowager Yu sighed and said, "If it were other towns who came to serve the king, they would have to suppress the rebellion for a while, what would it be possible?"
"Can the king help the gentry be heartbroken together? Or can they guard Jiankang forever?"
"Your Majesty..." Yu Shuyu was quite surprised. He didn't expect that the Empress Dowager could see the current situation so thoroughly, so he had to kneel down and apologize, "I... am incompetent, I am guilty."
"Get up, it's not your sin." Empress Dowager Yu waved her hand in confusion and said, "Time is a life, and it is not within human power. When the late emperor was alive, he sighed like a mayfly. No matter how hard he struggled, he was in the great power of heaven and earth.
It's still vulnerable."
"Think about it carefully, I remember that before the death of the late emperor, I asked my son to choose whether to inherit the Sima family's server."
Empress Dowager Yu said in a daze:
"At that time, the late emperor once said, 'If you don't sit in this position, your fate will be even more miserable', but my son doesn't understand... Now it seems that even if you sit on that throne forever, you will not be liberated,
How can it compare to the pain of losing power?"
"Since the late emperor had already expected it, I will not blame my brother anymore."
"He failed to save this country and the late emperor never expected him."
"Let Nankang marry Cheng Jinyang be the last move that the late emperor left to protect us, mother and son."
"You mean, the late emperor..." Uncle Yu said in surprise, and then quickly reacted.
As the commander of the Jinyiwei, of course, he had known for a long time that when the late emperor was alive, he had summoned Jinyang once and proposed to marry Princess Nankang to him.
But later, the late emperor did not mention this matter again, giving people the feeling that the late emperor had repented.
Now it seems that it has no intention.
If the late emperor had asked for marriage and forced Cheng Jinyang to officially become the son-in-law, which led to his missing with the eldest daughters of those aristocratic families, he would easily become jealous of the royal family.
On the contrary, Princess Nankang is now condescending to marry, but she is unable to get the title of a wife, which makes Cheng Jinyang feel guilty for her.
In addition, there are too many young ladies in Cheng Jinyang's harem, and there is a risk that the relatives of the gentry will not be eliminated.
It has become a natural thing to introduce another party that can check and balance the forces of the five surnames, such as the Yanling Yu family.
In this way, Cheng Jinyang will definitely protect the Yu family of Yanling!
Not only did it take into account Princess Nankang's face and emotions, but it also wanted to avoid the formation of a piece of iron plate for the power of relatives.
