Yang Heshu's voice was a little cold, with some authority, "Since the eighth uncle is also for the good of the family, then he should think more long-term."
"Wealth and power in the world have always been inseparable from money and power. We are inseparable from both, and money can come from thousands of ways, but power only exists in one place." He said: "Last time three Fang Xing made a mistake, and most of our Yang family's business in Jiangnan belongs to His Majesty, so why should we fight with him for such a small amount of money now?"
He knew that since Sanfang's accident, the family had handed over all the Jiangnan affairs to Yang Balang.
With his support, Yang and Shu's behavior and safety in Jiangnan are more secure.
He said: "Perhaps other families are happy to see us like this."
Although facing the emperor now, the various families have united, but they are not of one mind, and there are many grievances and enmities among them, not to mention the conflicting interests between them.
The purpose of Yang Heshu is obvious. Is Yang going to charge for these temporarily cooperating competitors, or even enemies
Yang Balang fell silent.
Yang Heshu lowered his eyes, and put aside all the official documents that he had processed, "Eight Uncle might as well wait a bit, and wait to see what each family does."
He said softly: "Although the things in the hands of His Royal Highness are very important, it is not impossible for each family to get out, but they have to give up some people and things. Salt tax is related to the country, and Jiangnan is a granary for the Jin Dynasty. The princes will not watch him make trouble."
Yang Balang changed his mind, raised his head and looked at him seriously, "Changbo, where are you from?"
Yang Heshu smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Ba, I am a courtier of the Jin Dynasty, the eldest son of the Yang family, and Yang Heshu."
Yang Balang seemed to have realized something, got up after a while and said: "I hope you remember what you said today."
Yang Heshu looked at him deeply, "I know what you are thinking. There are many people in the clan who are dissatisfied with me, but I have never forgotten my identity. I am the son of the Yang family and the eldest son cultivated by the clan. Everyone in the clan is My relatives, will I watch them go to die?"
Yang Balang thinks so too, Yang Heshu has been excellent since he was a child, his excellence lies not only in knowledge, but also in character, he can't do the thing of burying his clansmen for his official career.
Yang Balang heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became much more sincere. He said with a smile: "It's Uncle Ba who thinks too much, don't be as knowledgeable as Uncle Ba. Walk around, this business can't be finished, let's go to eat first , I brought a jug of good wine when I came, and we opened it tonight."
Yang Heshu smiled slightly and agreed.
He also needs Yang Balang to pass on some news.
Yang Heshu watched the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River from the sidelines, and they all knew that their alliance was not very strong, and the people in it naturally knew that except themselves, no one else was very trustworthy.
So the arrangement in the capital continued, and they began to reserve their own hands.
The governor of Yanzhou is dead, and no one knows how many people are recorded in his book, and what kind of people they are.
But no matter who is there, whether the capital can work or not, they have done their best, and the next step is to obey the destiny.
If it doesn't work, those people who are always in contact with the governor of Yanzhou can only give up.
And if you give up on them, you have to clear the tail.
So recently, all families and clans are restraining their children, and began to quietly clean up the tail. Not only can Yang Heshu and the court find out, but also the alliance can't catch it.
Well, at the same time, it's best to get hold of them, maybe it will be useful in the future, even if you can't get something from them, it's good to die as a fellow daoist if you have to.
In addition to revealing some information from Yang Balang, Yang Heshu also spent a lot of money to quietly approach those people's staff, either directly or from the outside to influence and provoke.
After working so hard for half a month, as the news of the crown prince's entry into the capital came, fewer and fewer people came to assassinate him. Up to now, no one has come to kill him for three consecutive days.
Yang Heshu breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and said to Wan Tian: "We will reward the guards who have made great contributions this time, and those who died in battle will treat their families generously."
"Yes." Wan Tian paused and said: "Master, Mr. Balang also asked me how many guards we brought here this time, and how many people were injured or injured this time. Not too happy."
"You go and report the number of our casualties now, as for the number of people we brought, there is no need to say." Yang Heshu said lightly: "Always let the family know that the other families don't care much about their friendship with the Yang family. My eldest son is merciful."
Sure enough, Yang Balang was very unhappy when he heard about the recent number of casualties.
That's right, I'm very upset that Yang Heshu is acting for the emperor and standing in their opposite family, but it doesn't mean that other families can bully their eldest son of the Yang family like this.
Yang Balang thought about it, maybe Yang Heshu was right, it would not be wise to confront the imperial court head-on at this time, the roots of their Yang family were not in the south of the Yangtze River at all, and a lot of things were taken away by the emperor before, so it is better to take this opportunity to leave.
It's a pity that it's not easy to come in, and it's even harder to leave.
However, the other families didn't know about the things that the emperor took from the Yang family when the Sanfang had an accident before, because they were still operating as usual and there were old family members of the Yang family, so the other families still regarded them as members of the Yang family.
If it is sent to the emperor...
Yang Balang just thought about it and shook his head, no, quitting is quitting, if he betrayed the covenant, I am afraid that he will provoke many enemies in the future...
Only then did Yang Balang feel that it was not easy to be the patriarch and the eldest son, and there were too many things to consider.
At this time, the crown prince was also whispering to his father, "Father, we don't need to think so much. With this booklet here, we just send troops to surround and capture everyone."
A few days ago, the prince brought two thousand soldiers to the capital, but he didn't let them enter the city, but stayed outside the city. Before the censor who came to ask questions could speak, he took Tang He and others into the city up.
After arguing for a long time, the people who wanted to ask the prince if he really wanted to rebel saw him and brought these few people into the city without fear of the forbidden army they brought, so they knew that the prince had no intention of rebelling.
So everyone surrounded the prince into the palace, but he hadn't spoken to the emperor yet. The two officials who kept writing letters a few days ago that the prince was rebelling committed suicide at home.
Yin Li acted quickly, but he only saved one person, and he was thrown directly into the dungeon after his chin was lowered, so the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were silent for a moment, and they didn't talk about it at all, as if they were arguing back and forth between the two possibilities some time ago They were not the same ones who made the whole court almost turn upside down.
Today, that lord is finally willing to speak. Although not many people are recruited, but with the booklet in the prince's hand, it is still possible to question some people.
But the emperor threw the booklet aside and said: "It's a person's name, they can completely abandon the car and save the handsome."
"Zhulian!"
"It's just corruption, it doesn't matter if you implicate your family, but you still want to implicate your clan?" The emperor said: "Do you want to become a tyrant in advance?"
The prince blushed and said, "Is it okay to frame the prince?"
"Those who framed you, so far only one family has confessed, and so many families cannot be implicated."
The crown prince stared, "Then the minister was framed for nothing?"
The emperor said indifferently: "The most important purpose of your being framed is not to force Jiangnan to rebel, to give them time to act, and to keep Yang and Shu."
Only then did the prince come back to his senses, "It turns out that Tang He was doing favoritism."
