Girl, there's something wrong with you

Queen Mother 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 was now. If the Jiankang situation could not be calmed down, it would not be a matter for the eldest brother's posthumous reputation.

But Queen Mother Yu and the entire Yu family will fall into an eternal hell.

For example, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, General He Jin, who was also the uncle of the country, also had power for a while, but was assassinated by the Shichangshi when Emperor Liu Bian was still a minor.

Without the support of relatives in power, everyone also knows what fate befell the Queen Mother He and the Young Emperor.

Considering that half of the country has fallen into the hands of demons, the emperor's authority is much more fragile than that of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

In order to gain power and establish prestige, Yu Yuangui offended countless aristocratic families and clans.

Now that riots are about to break out, the most important thing is to quickly mobilize troops to Beijing to stabilize order.

Otherwise, the entire Jiankang will fall into a bloody storm.

Of course, if the person who comes to King Qin is an ambitious person like Dong Zhuo, the end may not be much better...

But now that we have reached this stage, the emperor should consider how to step down gracefully instead of forcing a desperate comeback.

Today, the Yu family is facing the same problem:

In view of the complete imbalance of power in the situation, after the sudden death of Yu Yuangui and the rebellion of the gentry group, the emperor's position was basically unkempt.

If nothing is done, the Yu family will be completely torn apart in the fierce political battle with the gentry.

But if troops are sent to Beijing, will it be Dong Zhuo or Liu Bei?

After Liu Bei accepted the abdication, he would probably still care about his family ties. When Dong Zhuo came, he wanted to sleep on the dragon bed and poison the Queen Mother!

After all, Cheng Jinyang is the husband-in-law of the eldest princess of Nankang, and the Yu family is considered a family member to him, so he is more like Uncle Liu Huang than the cruel and ruthless Dong Zhuo.

Coupled with the bunch of eldest ladies from aristocratic families in his harem, it proves that this man also has an excellent relationship with the noble family.

If he could get help from this person, the Yu family would be able to survive the crisis of Yu Yuangui's death and avoid the tragic ending of his relative He in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The relationship between this and Yu Yuangui had been clearly explained to the Yu family's children before his death.

If there had been no Cheng Jinyang, then in the face of the surging counterattack of the nobles, Yu Shuxu would have immediately resigned from the post of Jin Yiwei, and immediately went up the river to Jingzhou to take over the position of commander-in-chief of the Longxiang Army left by Yu Yuangui, and then transfer the Yu family as soon as possible The disciples were placed in various officer positions in the Long Xiang Army.

The advantage of this is to turn the country into a home, turn Jingzhou into the territory of the Yu family, and turn Long Xiang's army into the Yu family's private army. In a short period of time, the nobles will be able to use the enemy as a weapon, and they will not be able to take the opportunity to attack the Yu family.

As for the long-term impact, we can only say that it does more harm than good and is a recipe for disaster.

In the past, the Wang family and the Sima family in Taiyuan were divided into half of the world. Wang Chuzhong's rebellion almost wiped out most of the empire's national power.

Such a bad lesson is here. Now that the Yu family wants to occupy the Longxiang Army and Jingzhou, the result will be that the evaluation of Shiliu Qingyi will drop to the lowest point, and even become a national traitor... Of course, quick death or slow suicide, in fact, itself There is no choice.

There is simply someone like Cheng Jinyang now. He is not only the son-in-law of the Yu family, but also the respected uncle of the Wu family. He is also an important minister in charge of the Beifu Army at Jie Zhenjingkou. He also regained Sichuan and Shu for the empire a few days ago... …

Strength, status, and political prestige are all the same.

As long as Cheng Jinyang comes forward to protect the Yanling Yu family, there will be a lot of room for maneuver... No, with his strength and status, it is better to say that he can 100% save the Yu family who is attacked by a group!

Otherwise, as the royal prince's consort, how could he still make the eldest princess of Nankang wear linen and wear filial piety, and keep her whole body in plain clothes?

The above is Yu Yuangui's analysis of the entire political situation, and it is also the reason Uncle Yu plans to use to persuade Queen Mother Yu.

However, before the conversation even started, Empress Dowager Yu had already agreed to seek help from Cheng Jinyang, which caught Yu Shuyu off guard.

"Your Majesty?" Uncle Yu decided to speak more clearly to avoid Empress Dowager Yu having unnecessary expectations and prejudgments about Cheng Jinyang, "This prince-in-law has a very good relationship with the noble family..."

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be just right?" Empress Dowager Yu sighed, "What if other towns came to Qinwang and suppressed the rebellion by force for a while?"

"Can King Qin bring the nobles back together? Or can he guard Jiankang forever?"

"Your Majesty..." Yu Shuyu was quite surprised. He didn't expect that the Queen Mother had such a thorough understanding of the current situation, so he had to kneel down and apologize and said, "I... am incompetent, and I am guilty."

"Get up, it's not your fault." Empress Dowager Yu waved her hands sadly and said, "Time is also destiny, and it is beyond human control. When the late emperor was still alive, he would sigh that he was like a mayfly. No matter how hard he struggled, he would not be able to defeat the mighty power of heaven and earth. It’s still vulnerable.”

"If you think about it carefully, I remember that before the late emperor passed away, he once asked my son to choose whether to inherit the Sima family's server."

Queen Mother 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 I don't understand... Now it seems that even if you sit on that throne forever, you will not be relieved. How can it compare to the pain of losing your position of power?”

"Since the late Emperor has already expected this, I will no longer blame my brother."

"He failed to save the country and the country, and the late emperor never counted on him."

"Letting Nankang marry Cheng Jinyang was the last back-up left by the late emperor to protect our mother and son."

"You mean, the late Emperor..." Yu Shuxu said in astonishment, and then quickly realized what he was doing.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, of course he had long known that the late emperor had summoned Cheng Jinyang once and proposed to marry the eldest princess of Nankang to him.

But later on, the late emperor never mentioned the matter again, giving people the feeling that the late emperor had gone back on his word.

Now it seems that it has ulterior motives.

If the late emperor had planned the marriage and forced Cheng Jinyang to officially become the consort, causing him to miss those eldest ladies from the aristocratic families, he would easily have resented the royal family.

On the contrary, now, the eldest princess of Nankang condescended to marry, but was not given the title of a head wife, which made Cheng Jinyang feel guilty towards her.

In addition, there are too many eldest ladies from aristocratic families in Cheng Jinyang's harem, which brings with it the risk that the relatives of the noble family will be left behind.

It became a matter of course to introduce another party that could check and balance the power of the five surname families, such as the Yanling Yu family.

In this way, Cheng Jinyang will definitely keep the Yanling Yu family!

Not only to take into account the face and emotions of the eldest princess of Nankang, but also to prevent the influence of the relatives from forming a monolith.

The late emperor's plan was so terrifying!
