Go and have a headache.

There is no way. If you want to seize the throne unconventionally, you have to be a little ruthless.

The court began to gradually become chaotic. You Hongyin secretly arranged and instigated, and everything went as he planned.

Yang Jian finally discovered that the government affairs did not seem to be as handy as when he ascended the throne. It seemed that after being an emperor for more than 20 years, he suddenly could not be an emperor. Is there a problem with the lack of energy in middle age? He began to doubt.

After Wei Qian discovered the emperor's inability to handle the government affairs, he began to gradually take power himself.

Unfortunately, the cabinet has this right, because the cabinet has the power to submit memorials. Although the emperor has eunuchs to check every day, the memorials selected are not comprehensive. When Wei Qian began to deliberately ignore certain things and no longer report them as in the past, Yang Jian knew nothing at all. Only Wei Qian, who has been fully involved, knows the priorities of these government affairs. The other few people can only be regarded as understanding a little. The new cabinet elder Cao Qing is inexperienced in this regard. Only Wang Tianzhao understands what Wei Qian is doing.

But Wang Tianzhao said nothing.

Wang Tianzhao did become the Prime Minister, but he joined forces with Wei Qian. Although You Hongyin didn't know what kind of deal they made in private, it was nothing more than those conditions, such as supporting the eldest prince.

You Hongyin didn't mind their alliance, and even hoped that there would be so many of them, so that he could better disrupt the situation.

"Xiao Yinzi." You Hongyin called out. Xiao Yinzi was just standing behind him with his hands in his sleeves. When he heard the call, he stepped forward to massage his own prince. His technique has become better and better recently, and You Hongyin often fell asleep while being massaged.

After returning to the palace from the Ministry of Justice, he still needed to deal with some things, some of which were about the Zhan Yin Chamber of Commerce, and some were about the growing intelligence organization in his hands. Just these things made You Hongyin start to not look forward to his future career as an emperor at all.

Since the Zhan Yin Chamber of Commerce collected a large amount of money and returned, You Hongyin finally developed the intelligence organization in his hands from the harem to the outside, combining it with the relationship network and coverage of the Zhan Yin Chamber of Commerce.

You Hongyin felt that the forces that dealt with things that were not in the light, such as the secret guards, should still be retained. The wise rulers who won the hearts of the people and ruled the country for thousands of years only existed in the romantic feelings of literati and the absurd stories of operas. The rule was never bright and just. From the perspective of state governance, it was very correct to seek the welfare of the people. Only when ordinary people stopped making trouble, the world would be peaceful. It was indeed bright and righteous, but the means of state governance never distinguished between good and evil, right and wrong, and only focused on maximizing benefits.

Therefore, it was very normal to retain a certain amount of secret forces in one's hands and be responsible for work such as espionage. As long as this force did not exceed the authority and did not get out of control, it would be the best tool and life-saving talisman.

You Hongyin did not think that it was wrong for Yingzong to withdraw the fireworks. In that situation, it was necessary to withdraw them. He just felt that it was not wise for Yingzong and his current father to not find a way to rebuild another fireworks.

Now he has the Exhibition Silver Chamber of Commerce and the unnamed intelligence organization in his hands. He is much more alert and can use many methods, instead of relying solely on court officials. This is to put his success or failure in the hands of others, and at the same time test the credit and character of those literati.

Tsk, too unreliable.

"Your Highness, I have two pieces of news here, do you want to listen to them?" You Hongyin was half asleep when he suddenly heard Xiao Yinzi's words.

"Go ahead."

"The news came from Concubine Zhuang, and the Queen agreed, but she also said that she would not do anything dangerous." Xiao Yinzi said.

"The trump card should be used at the critical point. I didn't think of what she would do. What about the other news."

"Concubine Zhuang said that His Majesty plans to choose a prince consort for you."

"It's normal. He has been unlucky recently. I'm afraid he will pick someone to change the water." You Hongyin didn't pay attention to the marriage, and immediately thought of the current situation in the court and understood Yang Jian's plan.

"Don't you have someone you want to marry?" Xiao Yinzi asked curiously.

"Well, not yet. If there is one in the future, I will remember to take her into the palace." You Hongyin said immediately: "No, I'm a little tired. I have to lie down. Please massage me again."

Xiao Yinzi said: "I asked you to practice more on weekdays, but you are too lazy and don't want to move."

"You are so long-winded. I just don't have the time." He really didn't want to move.

Xiao Yinzi didn't answer, and massaged for a while. Sure enough, he fell asleep soon.

Huan'er happened to bring in midnight snacks. Xiao Yinzi waved her hand and the two went out quietly together.

Xier was waiting outside, and made a handover with Huan'er to prepare for the night watch. Then, seeing that Xiao Yinzi still didn't return to the room, she said: "Eunuch Yin, is there anything?"

Xiao Yinzi asked in confusion: "Xier, are there any concubines in the bamboo garden of the prince?"

He had never paid attention to this matter.

Xier blinked and said, "Empress Zhuang did arrange a few maids, but His Highness didn't like them."

Xiao Yinzi thought for a while and said, "When the future prince's wife marries in, you should be careful in your daily life."

Xier smiled, as if she was afraid of disturbing the sleeping people in the house, and said, "Don't worry, Eunuch Yin, I didn't really come to the palace to be a maid."

You Hongyin didn't wait for his father to discuss the selection of the prince's wife, but waited for another thing, which made You Hongyin change his original plan to slowly eat away at the court and began to make second-hand preparations in the military system.

Military power and imperial power are inseparable.

As Yang Jian increasingly felt the chaos in the court, he began to pay close attention to military affairs and frequently summoned military commanders from various garrison offices in Kyoto. In the past, it was as difficult for these low-level generals who guarded the capital to meet the emperor as it was to ascend to heaven. Recently, Queen Wenren's father, General Wenrenang, reported a small victory and killed more than 300 Xiongnu in the steppe. The emperor used the excuse to express gratitude for the hard work of the soldiers and summoned the outstanding low-ranking generals from the Jingwei Guards. And he gave some rewards without being stingy at all.

Yang Jian's intention was simply to gather the morale of the army, gain the loyalty of the generals, and consolidate the military power in his hands.

But the way he handled it was wrong.

It can even be said that it is completely wrong.

Chapter 139 Stunning Mountains and Rivers (15)

The best attacks the heart.

The real way to win over people is not to meet once and reward them with some money and jewels arrogantly. Those who are complimented by the emperor, receive a few rewards, and become a confidant will not be too loyal to death. In You Hongyin's view, this kind of money buying method with a wide net has limited effect. Most of the low-level generals are hereditary military families, and their positions are obtained by their ancestors and their own lives bit by bit. , they have their own way of military survival.

And the purpose of this kind of praise that everyone knows is too naked. It only cares about the capital guards who protect the capital. What about the local guards? What about the border guards? It would be unwise to choose one and discard the other.

In fact, the role of low-level generals in the high-level struggles of the imperial court does not have a big impact, because they have superiors above them, and what maintains the army is not only loyalty to the country and the people, but also trust in the generals, the need for survival supplies, and even There's some herd mentality involved. Those high-level generals are the focus of winning over. Each of them is worth spending a lot of effort. Maybe one of them can change the entire situation. Unfortunately, Yang Jian probably felt that the loyalty of the high-ranking generals was already in his hands, and there was no need to waste time on them, but he did not understand that any relationship in the world, even family relationships, requires hard work to maintain and manage.

Yang Jian had never used gentle methods to win over people. For him, he was the legitimate son from the moment he was born. He had a natural advantage. His mother, his maternal family, and his wife's family protected him along the way. He also had the support of countless forces who took the initiative to join him. The road to seizing the heir was a bloody one, but it didn't take much effort.

He just needs to be himself, behave in a moderate manner, be neither arrogant nor impetuous, be courteous to the virtuous, and not be greedy for beauty. To win over? No need, others are crowding in to join him. Political literacy? No need, of course someone will help him make suggestions. Perhaps it was precisely because he naturally gathered a large number of forces around him without doing anything. Even though Emperor Ying was in poor health and was about to die, he still wanted to completely break his natural alliance and support his second brother to rise to power. So in the end, I can't blame him.

But Yang Jian's experience in seizing the throne was not without gain. He learned two things in the process. ◆This◆work◆work◆is provided◆by◆si◆Rabbit◆.com

One is checks and balances. Only when the officials and nobles do not stick together will his throne be as stable as Mount Tai. Only when the prince's natural power is insufficient will he not be endangered. Therefore, he grasped the affairs of the central and central parties without mercy. He did not allow the queen to give birth to a legitimate son, strictly limited the scope of the prince's internship to avoid attracting officials, and when choosing wives for them, he always chose nobles with no real power. Official woman.

The second is health and longevity. His father, Emperor Ying, originally did a good job as emperor. Although his sons had good experience in various ministries, no one dared to blatantly take sides until news of his good father's poor health spread. Back then, a group of people quickly gathered around him and his brothers.

Therefore, Yang Jian is not too greedy for beauty. In addition to government affairs, he focuses more on health care. The palace also has one or two Taoist priests who are proficient in this area. Of course, he considers himself a qualified and successful monarch. Yang Jian did not take any elixirs, but relied on Taoist breathing methods to nourish his body and mind and live a long life.

Yang Jian's approach was inappropriate, and Du Baigui naturally warned him, but the emperor did not adopt the advice of this usually less than stellar elder.

When You Hongyin saw Yang Jian doing such a thing, he decided to speed up his actions. Although he said that he didn't mind starting over, he didn't really want to completely destroy Huang Country, so before Yang Jian was completely hopeless, he still Get the throne as soon as possible.

In the capital guard, You Hongyin must obtain a part of the military power and be able to suppress the situation in the chaos before proceeding.

Therefore, Yang Fan, a loyal royalist, must instigate rebellion. At least he must be separated from Yang Jian. He must not help Yang Jian at the critical moment. Zhao Zhenhu, the admiral who controls the Twelve Guards of Kyoto, must be on his side. Of course, these are not enough. It is best to find a second insurance just in case.

Among the Beijing Guards, there are three other high-ranking generals with real power like Zhao Zhenhu, but no one can stand on his side now. You Hongyin didn't want to apply the method used to deal with Huang Zhi and Zhao Zhenhu to these three people. Then send people to lurk around the three generals to indirectly influence their judgment. This method will work on Huang Zhi and Zhao Zhenhu, but will definitely fail on the remaining three.

We can only find another way. However, as long as people are human, they will have desires, and if there are desires, there will be flaws. Those who like money and power will use money and power to buy them, and those who satisfy their own nobility will use emotion and reason to move them, and they will always be able to find flaws that can be exploited. You Hongyin never doubted this.

You Hongyin called Xi'er: "Help me investigate the three of them carefully. In addition, you can start executing the plan I had made before."

Huixianghou Mansion.

Yang Fanzheng was alone in a small pavilion by the lake. There were several side dishes on the stone table in the pavilion, and a pot of wine was warming up. He drank and meditated.

Suddenly, a servant came in a hurry and said, "Master, Master Du is here to visit."

Yang Fan said: "Invite people here. Add a pair of wine glasses, bowls and chopsticks."

Along the way, Du Baigui and Yang Fan greeted each other, then sat down at the end, looked at the wine glass in front of him, took a sip, and let out a long sigh.

"What do you mean when you sigh, sir?" Yang Fan said.

Du Baigui glanced at Yang Fan and said, "Why do you have to pretend to be stupid? What your Majesty has done recently is really inappropriate. Why don't you dissuade him?"

Yang Fan said: "I know that Mr. Du's visit is definitely not as simple as reminiscing about old times and having a drink." He paused and said: "It's not that I don't dissuade you, but that it's useless. I've already handed over my private documents before. But it’s just a stone sinking into the sea.”

Du Baigui said: "Why would your Majesty do this? But there is a traitor at work." Yang Fan is in charge of the palace guard, and he should be well-informed about the affairs in the palace, so Du Baigui still has this question.

Yang Fan shook his head:
