Chapter 77 Reunion (2)

.I hurriedly walked out of the royal palace with the eunuch. Because I heard Yuhuchun's news that the Jinghua Sect was going to be unfavorable to me before, I brought more guards. Along the way, I asked the eunuch with a look at who was attending this dinner. The eunuch quickly told me in detail, and he was indescribable to please me. Perhaps he knew that I was a hot person in the court today.

"Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, and Yang Pu and his son." I thought silently about the names of the people who attended the dinner. Suddenly, I seemed to have grasped something and thought to myself: "This combination is too strange!"

If the father wanted to invite three Yang clerks, he just needed to invite them to the banquet. But he invited Yang Pu's son again, and Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi did not have family companions, which made people feel very strange. However, although I was doubtful, I did not show any expression. I just said nothing to the eunuch along the way, which was considered as not missing the opportunity to "collude with an eunuch."

The eunuch probably felt flattered to me when he was close to me. He flattered me along the way and said everything in the palace. Even the father's favorite food and doing something, he accidentally told me.

When I arrived at the Royal Garden where my father held a banquet, the three Yang editors and the Young Master Yang had already sat in the seat. I looked at the Young Master Yang secretly and saw that he looked like a jade-like face and tall figure. He was really handsome and talented. Although he seemed to be a scholar, he was definitely a handsome man.

I usually do my duty in the court. Unless my father asks me, I rarely interrupt the big and small political affairs in the court. Therefore, I am not as good as the third brother and the fifth brother, and I have some teeth marks with these three Yang Xiu. They probably look at me very much in their eyes. Therefore, when I see me coming in, I immediately got up and saluted me.

Yang Pu specifically pointed to his son and introduced to me: "Your Highness King Rui. This is Xiao'an, a dog son." He paused slightly, and then quickly said to his son: "Come here and see Your Highness King Rui."

I humbly returned the tribute to the three Yang Xiushu. Seeing that the young master Yang was going to kneel down to salute me after hearing his father's words, I quickly helped him up and smiled and said, "Young Master Yang doesn't have to be too polite. If you want to say that being alone in front of the three editors is still a descendant. You are just a peer to the young master, so don't humiliate the orphan."

Yang Rong, Yang Pu and Yang Shiqi actually heard about Yingtian Academy when they were young, and I was also a student from Yingtian Academy, so I was really their backwards. At this time, I proposed to get closer to them.

When Sanyang heard my words, his eyes showed appreciation for me. Yang Pu smiled and said, "Your Highness is both kind and kind. The three of you were lucky to see the grand event of Your Highness winning three yuan in the Golden Palace. Now, I really admire you whenever I think of it!"

I held on to the hand of Mr. Yang and said with a smile: "How can I be considered a little bit of my talent? The reason why I won three yuan in a row back then was half of the luck and half of it was just favored by the emperor's grandfather. Compared to the three editors, it was really like the firefly sun and moon!"

My words were intentionally funny, and Sanyang felt relieved when he heard them. He laughed with me, and the atmosphere suddenly became very harmonious.

After a few polite words, Yang Rong suddenly mentioned the matter of moving the capital decided by his father today, and said, "I wonder what your Highness thinks about moving the capital today?"

I was stunned when I heard this, but I didn't expect that he would ask me about this. When he was hesitating, he couldn't help but look at the three of them. When I saw the expectations in their eyes, I felt a little moved. I pretended to be distressed and sighed: "To be honest, I will not hide it from the three editors. Yesterday, when my father was assassinated, I mentioned the issue of moving the capital to Gu. At that time, Gu felt that it was inappropriate and explained the benefits and interests of the father. I wanted to dispel his father's idea. It's a pity that his father was frightened when he was assassinated and could not listen to Gu's words!"

When I was talking, I thought about the situation in the hall today. The three Yangs were surprisingly not out to oppose the capital movement, but I felt that they opposed the capital movement, so I expressed their opinions in truth.

Sure enough, the three Yangs looked at each other and nodded. Yang Rong, the most experienced one, lowered his voice and said: "It seems that among all the princes, His Highness Rui is the most intelligent. The fact that moving the capital is more harmful than good!"

When I heard Yang Rong express his position so clearly, I knew that I was not wrong. They were indeed opposed to moving the capital. It was just that they knew in the court that their father had decided, so they didn't say it out.

Among the ministers, they were actually divided into many factions since the beginning, but after nearly two months of division and combination, they have gradually become a clear-cut new and old system. In fact, when it comes to these new and old systems, they are actually new and old ministers around the father. The new ministers are headed by these three Yang editors. Although most of them are officials from Zhu Changwen's court, they have always opposed the withdrawal of the vassal state. After the father ascended the throne, they all became supporters of the father. These people are not only in the court, but also in the local area. The old ministers are the aides and generals who have always been with the father, most of them are military generals.

As the conflict of interest between the two groups became increasingly serious, the situation of mutual conflict became very obvious. The father's move to the capital this time would obviously be beneficial to the people in the old group. After all, they all followed their father in Yanjing for many years, and that was their foundation. On the contrary, if the ministers of the new group suddenly changed an environment, they would have many inconveniences and disadvantages for them. Therefore, they probably did not agree to move the capital in public or private.

Although I understood the interests of this, I was unwilling to say anything at this time. I just waited for Yang Rong and the others to finish their words, because they could not just want to mention this matter in front of me.

"Now that the emperor has not appointed a crown prince, and we have encountered such a major event that can shake the foundation of the country, we have discussed privately that we are willing to advance and retreat with Your Highness!" Yang Rong was very quiet when he spoke, but the words he said made me feel like thunder was shaking the ground.

"They are—" I just thought for a moment and understood what they meant. Although they are ministers loyal to their father, they always have to plan for the future. As the saying goes, the emperor will only rely on the emperor first to avoid the fate of losing power in the future. Speaking of which, among the sons of the father, I have the highest talent and literary reputation. I was once a student of Song Lu, the leader of the Qingliu Shilin. Therefore, it was because Sanyang and the others chose me.

But for a moment, I couldn't tell whether what they said was sincere. I was worried that they had ulterior motives to borrow me to restrain the power of the third and fifth brothers, so I pretended not to know what they meant and said, "I am so grateful to me if I can be respected by several editors."

Seeing that my answer was so ambiguous, Sanyang probably saw the suspicion in my heart. The three of them looked at each other and the most polite Yang Shiqi said, "Your Highness, we have told you clearly. Among the emperor's princes, we privately think that King Rui is the most virtuous and inheriting the great cause of the emperor, so we are all willing to advance and retreat with you."

Speaking of this, it was very obvious. I glanced at San Yang, who was very solemn in color, and thought that it would take them for a long time to put their hearts on me. This could be seen from their tacit expressions in front of them. So I couldn't let them feel cold and said with a smile: "The three editors' thoughts, Gu already knows the feelings of the three editors, but this is not a place to talk about such things. Gu will naturally visit the three adults in the future."

When Sanyang heard me say this, he naturally understood what I meant. He immediately felt relieved and smiled slightly, and stopped talking about this.

Yan Xiao was just about to be happy, and his father arrived. As soon as he walked in, he saw Sanyang and I talking with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but ask, "What are Changluo and his beloved ministers saying? Let me smile."

Sanyang, and the Young Master Yang, I saluted my father and sat down again. I first answered my father's previous question: "My son is asking Mr. Yang about some interesting things when he listened to his studies. It turns out that he is a student of the famous Bailu Academy."

The father's eyes fell on Mr. Yang, and a hint of praise flashed strangely. Then he followed my words and asked Mr. Yang, "Xiao'an, do you have fame and fortune?"

When I heard my father call Mr. Yang by his name, I felt something strange in my heart. My father clearly treated Yang Xiaoan as his nephew. This was a bit unreasonable. Although I felt strange in my heart, the three Yangs were obviously not surprised. There was a hint of joy on the corners of their mouths, as if they had known that this would be the case.

Yang Xiaoan did have some demeanor. During the question of his father, he knelt down to his father calmly, and then replied: "After the emperor's words, I have passed the imperial examination two years ago and entered the imperial examination. It is the third place in Hunan. It is only because of the war before that the imperial court suspended the selection of scholars and has not been able to participate in the imperial examination."

Seeing Yang Xiaoan responding properly, the father nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Yang Pu: "My dear, you really gave birth to a good son!"
