Three days.

What can I do in three days? After reading a book called "The Analects of Confucius", I copied a book called "Diamond Sutra", and asked three or five friends to go out for a walk and have tea. Maybe three days will pass like this.

However, during the three days when Jiang Xia held Zhu Houguan hostage and was surrounded by Jinyiwei in Qingyi Tower, the entire capital suddenly became full of wind and rain, and various rumors were flying all over the sky.

"The emperor has passed away, and some ministers in the court want to support the puppets to ascend the throne and become the emperor behind the scenes."

"The emperor was placed under house arrest by ministers in the court and was forced to write a decree to pass the throne. The throne was not passed on to the crown prince and transferred to the children of other branches of the Zhu family."

"The capital is already covered with heavy troops, and the battle to seize the throne is about to begin!"

"Investigate! Send someone to investigate immediately! Be sure to find out who is creating rumors randomly." In the Yang Mansion, Yang Tinghe ordered Qian Ning with a dark face.

Qian Ning responded and then stepped down.

In the end, Yang Tinghe was the only one left in the study. Yang Tinghe shook his head and said to himself: "It's really amazing. I didn't expect that he would use such a move. The whole thing was made big. Isn't he really afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be broken?"

Yang Tinghe suddenly remembered a letter Jiang Xia gave him, and the envelope said that he would take it apart three days later. Yang Tinghe also resisted his curiosity and had never taken it apart.

Now three days have passed, Yang Tinghe took out the letter paper from it after opening the envelope.

The book said: "It is said that cats have nine lives and cannot die no matter how hard it is, so it wants to try whether it has the tenth life, so it committed suicide. So whether it can control its curiosity is the key to whether a person can succeed, right? The above is nonsense.

I only want to tell Lord Yang that I have sent someone to deliver the letter out of the capital. Whether it is Jiang Bin of Xuanfu or the general of the Nine-sided side, I believe they have received news of the emperor's death.

If you feel that you have really controlled the overall situation, then you can just help the person you want to support ascend the throne. If you don’t have confidence in stabilizing the overall situation in the world, please consider my next proposal.

How can we share the world equally?"

Seeing the last sentence, Yang Tinghe's eyes lit up.

Sometimes people are like this. Once they fall into a dead end and cannot get out, they will only think about how to destroy the wall that blocks their own way, and will not see that there is a smooth road behind them.

What a smart person Yang Tinghe is, how could he not know what Jiang Xia meant? The moment he saw this sentence, Yang Tinghe immediately began to calculate the feasibility and benefits of Jiang Xia's proposal.

Finally, Yang Tinghe made an amazing discovery that it seemed that Jiang Xia’s proposal was the best solution at the moment.

First of all, the general environment is that Zhu Houcan has been restrained by Jiang Xia, and Yang Tinghe cannot prove that Zhu Houzhao has really died, so he cannot help others ascend the throne as soon as possible.

Then rumors inside and outside the capital were flying everywhere, and people were in panic, and all forces may also begin to get ready to move. Once they drag on it, the development of the situation will definitely exceed control.

Secondly, the prince is only five years old now, which is easier to control than Zhu Houguan. With the power he has now, as long as the prince ascends the throne without taking power for the time being, he can continue to control the government as a minister of life.

By then, I will use the power in my hands to develop slowly. When the time is ripe, I will no longer have the shackles of today.

Yang Tinghe thought for a while and finally got up and walked out of the study room. Uncle Xiang, the old butler waiting for Yang Tinghe at the entrance of the study room, immediately asked: "Master, are you going out?"

"Prepare the carriage and take me to Qingyi Tower immediately." Yang Tinghe said.

"Yes!" Uncle Xiang responded and immediately stepped back and prepared.

Yang Tinghe came to outside the Qingyi Tower in a carriage, and Qian Ning happened to be there. Seeing Yang Tinghe get out of the carriage, Qian Ning quickly walked up and saluted Yang Tinghe: "See sir."

Yang Tinghe nodded and said, "Let's go, come in with me."

"Ah? Inside?" Qian Ning was startled and quickly advised: "Sir, Jiang Xia has many masters, and his subordinates have low martial arts skills, I'm afraid."

"Don't I know that your martial arts are low? I'm not afraid of not knowing martial arts. What are you afraid of?" After saying that, Yang Tinghe shook his sleeves and walked straight towards Qingyi Tower.

In the Qingyi Tower, in order to prevent the Jinyi Guard from rushing in suddenly, people were sent to guard and watch at all entrances.

The person who was on guard today was Zhang Meng. He stood behind the gate with his big butt sticking out and watching, muttering, "Here's here! Someone is here!"

Xiao Sha and the others thought that the Jinyiwei had rushed in. When they were eating, they immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks and picked up their respective weapons. Only Jiang Xia was still calm: "Who is here?"

Zhang Meng said at this moment: "A little old man who looks like a human and seven-pointed like a ghost, thin and vulgar, destined to be unable to get hard on the bed. There is also a person who looks like a dog from a distance and still looks like a dog from a close distance. He is wearing a gold-style and dog-skinned dog skin."

"Cough cough." Zhong Bin's face turned pale and he coughed.

Jiang Xia smiled helplessly and shook her head, then said to Zhang Meng: "Okay, stop making trouble, open the door and let them in."

"Open?" Zhang Meng turned around and looked at Jiang Xia, "Let them come in?"

After seeing Jiang Xia nodding again, Zhang Meng opened the door.

Yang Tinghe walked in front and entered Qingyi Tower, and Qian Ning followed behind him. He kept pressing the knife handle with his right hand, and seemed very nervous.

Jiang Xia stood up, nodded to Yang Tinghe, and then pointed upstairs: "Please."

Yang Tinghe looked back at Qian Ning and said, "You're here to wait for me." After that, Yang Tinghe followed Jiang Xia upstairs, and finally the two entered a room and closed the door.

Zhang Meng watched the two enter the room and said to himself: "If I tell others that a big man and an old man did not call the girl when they arrived at the brothel, they entered the room and closed the door. What would others think after hearing this?"

After saying that, Zhang Meng turned to look at everyone, "Huh? What are your expressions?"

In the room, Jiang Xia and Yang Tinghe sat next to the Eight Immortals Table.

Yang Tinghe first spoke: "Tell me, talk about your equal division of the world."

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "It's very simple. Now that the emperor has passed away, the crown prince is young. If you force the children of other royal clans to ascend the throne, but do not choose the crown prince, the result is obvious. According to your current arrangement, you may succeed at the beginning and the capital will be temporarily controlled by you.

But the world will soon be divided, and those generals, kings and princes with heavy troops will inevitably become independent. They will finally find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, use the excuse to support the orthodox, and then rush the army into the capital. I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to resist, so your idea of ​​establishing others is simply unrealistic."

Yang Tinghe snorted from his nostrils and said, "That seems unrealistic at the moment. If you had not interfered with it at the beginning, I would have successfully announced the death of the emperor, and then I would have given the throne to the world, and asked Zhu Houguan to write an imperial edict, and the throne would be returned to the crown prince in a hundred years. In such a legitimate manner, who in the world would still be dissatisfied?"

"Zhu Houcong will return the throne to the crown prince after he has returned to heaven for a hundred years?" Jiang Xia's eyes became a little cold, "Didn't you mean that in your original plan, as long as Zhu Houcong takes the throne firmly, you will kill the crown prince?"

Yang Tinghe looked at Jiang Xia without hiding it and said bluntly: "Since ancient times, great things have to be done without paying attention to the details. If His Royal Highness still exists, the ending will be as you said, and will be used by the villain. In the end, the battle will be in chaos, and the lives will be ruined, and the people will suffer."

"A little guy? I don't know who is a little guy?" Jiang Xia said sarcastically.

Yang Tinghe frowned slightly and asked, "How? Will the negotiation continue?"

Jiang Xia looked at Yang Tinghe in silence, finally breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the anger in his heart and said, "The current situation is what I said. You have no other choice except to help the prince ascend the throne.

Now that the prince is young, he will definitely not be able to take power immediately after ascending the throne, so he needs several life-care ministers. My plan is to have four life-care ministers, and you and I will occupy one."

"Who are you going to hand over the remaining two positions to?" Yang Tinghe asked.

"The former chief minister of the cabinet who has retired and returned home, the Grand Tutor Li Dongyang. In addition, there is the newly promoted Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Prince's Young Guardian Yang Yiqing."

After hearing this, Yang Tinghe nodded slightly, and seemed to have no intention of objection. "Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing are definitely qualified to be this life-care minister, but do you think I am a stupid person? Li Dongyang is your master, and Yang Yiqing is an old friend of you again.

They became ministers of life, so I can still gain a foothold in the court in the future? So I have to add two more ministers of life."

Jiang Xia had long expected that Yang Tinghe would not easily be deceived or regress in this matter. Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Let's talk about it first, which two people are they."

Yang Tinghe said: "Secretary of the Ministry of War, Wang Qiong, Left Censor of the Censorate, Xia Yuanming."

"Xia Yuanming?" Jiang Xia couldn't help but speak out in surprise.

At this time, the person Yang Tinghe proposed must be from his faction. Jiang Xia expected that Yang Tinghe would propose Wang Qiong, but he never expected that Yang Tinghe would propose Xia Yuanming.

Xia Yuanming is the left censor of the Censorate, and he will definitely be the minister of life in terms of qualifications and official positions. However, he himself is Li Dongyang's best friend, and his grandson Xia Fengchu is also Jiang Xia's friend.

Jiang Xia never expected that Xia Yuanming would be Yang Tinghe's person.

Yang Tinghe glanced at Jiang Xia and said, "How? If you agree to my conditions, I will immediately start preparing to arrange for His Royal Highness to ascend the throne."

Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."

"Very good. From now on, I hope Lord Jiang will cooperate more. This is the first time I have seen a minister who is just over thirty years old."
