Jiajing Chengming

Chapter 85: Everything is good here

Yang Shen already knew that his father was going to give up the fight for the gift.

and so.

When Zhang Lun and other civil servants who were in charge of courtesy said that they came to see Yang Tinghe for the purpose of great courtesy.

Yang Shen was somewhat embarrassed and could only stammer:

"Father, father is not in a position to see guests right now, please go back."

"Why doesn't the Master want to see us?"

The person in charge, Ke Weixiong, asked at this time.

original.

The ritual-protecting civil servants who came to ask for an audience with Yang Tinghe included not only Zhang Lun and others who refused to attend the ceremony to welcome the Virgin Mary, but also Ke Weixiong and other ritual-protecting civil servants who sympathized with Zhang Lun's situation and were unwilling to see the ceremony changed.

Yang Shen said: "It's inconvenient to see you, not that I don't want to see you!"

"Why is it inconvenient?"

“Could it be that the Grand Master is also unwilling to fight for the filial temple and for the proper rites?!”

The person in charge, Ke Weixiong, continued to ask questions at this time.

Because Ke Weixiong asked this, Zhang Lun also said: "Now, the world can only rely on the Taifu. If the Taifu doesn't stand up, I don't know who can save the world!"

Zhang Lun even started to cry after he said this.

He cried because he thought about being demoted to Penghu, and he also cried because the grand ceremony had not been completed and Xiaozong had to be the emperor's father.

"We must see the Master today!"

“Otherwise, we can only sit back and watch the gentleman die tragically on the sea frontier, and the great etiquette cannot correct it!”

Covey Bear shook his sleeves vigorously and raised his arms to shout:
"Let's rush in! Go find the Master, room by room."

After Ke Weixiong shouted, he pushed Yang Shen aside and rushed towards the inner courtyard of Yang's house.

Editor Ye Dong and other civil servants who came with Ke Weixiong were also excited and followed.

Zhang Lun and others were deeply moved by Ke Weixiong's efforts for them, and they also gritted their teeth and said:

"A real man stands between heaven and earth. Death is the end of death. But if he can do something for the country before he dies, then his life will not be in vain!"

After Zhang Lun said this, he also rushed over and ran the fastest.

"follow me!"

"I know which room Master Yang is recuperating in!"

Yang Shen was very angry when he saw this.

"you!"

"How can you be so rude!"

Yang Shen couldn't help but scold loudly.

"Sir, the Jinyiwei are here!"

"The Royal Guards are here!"

And this time.

A servant of the Yang family came running over and reported to Yang Shen in extreme panic.

"what?!"

Yang Shen couldn't help but be stunned.

"quick!"

"quick!"

A large group of Jinyiwei had already rushed into Yang's residence and surrounded them from the corridors on both sides, and then stopped Ke Weixiong, Zhang Lun and other civil servants at the parapet of the third entrance of Yang's residence.

These Jinyiwei immediately drew their swords.

Covey Bear and the others couldn't help but take a step back and stop together.

The leader was Deputy Captain Wang An.

Wang An looked at Ke Weixiong and the others and said, "We are here to protect Master Yang. If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill you without mercy!"

"Protect?"

Yang Shen, who followed, was quite surprised.

Zhang Lun and others were also surprised.

At this time.

Covey Bear said with a disappointed look on his face: "I understand!"

"What do you unserstand?"

Yang Shen asked.

His face was very ugly.

"Is there anyone like you, breaking into someone else's private residence?"

Yang Shen continued to question.

"I understand why the Grand Master is unwilling to see us, why he is reluctant to come out and take charge of the situation, and why he wants to sit back and watch the ceremony become what it is now!"

Covey Bear shouted back.

then.

Ke Weixiong sneered and said, "All this must be because the Grand Tutor had long since betrayed the world. For the sake of his own high position and generous salary, he had long since chosen to cater to Your Majesty, and lost his ambition to make the king a benevolent monarch and restore the rule of filial piety."

"I'm afraid."

"Now your majesty dares to set such a great gift."

"Zhang Cong, a newly promoted noble, dares to discuss state affairs."

"Liang Shunde simply did not act in a grand ceremony, and did not dare to offend the emperor."

"It's all because his Grand Tutor Yang had already lost his temper."

"Otherwise, why would he not dare to clear the land? He wanted to recuperate. He did not dare to fight for the treasury. He also wanted to recuperate. Now that the discussion of the grand ceremony has come to this, he has been living in seclusion. Even his son was probably ordered by him not to fight. That's why we didn't see him in Wudinghou Mansion in the past, and we haven't seen him go to the Hanlin Academy even today."

Covey Bear said this in a deep voice.

"What a traitor who appears loyal!"

Zhang Lun thought it made sense.

Plus.

He really wanted Yang Tinghe to help him and stop him from going to Penghu, so he said this in his disappointment.

then.

Zhang Lun sneered and said, "We are so naive that we have been kept in the dark. In fact, they have long abandoned the country and the temple, and only care about their own glory and wealth."

"otherwise."

"We won't let Zhang Cong and his ilk find such a big handle on me in the will."

"Many people say that the cabinet at the time was not thoughtful enough. After all, even the wisest people can make mistakes."

"But now I think this statement is far-fetched!"

"Can this really be explained by just saying you didn't think carefully enough?!" Zhang Lun asked sternly.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

Xing Huan couldn't help but purse his lips and said with tears in his eyes: "Sure enough, the wise will eventually become unwise! The so-called famous family is nothing but a private scheme for the family."

"Not as good as Liang Shunde."

"Although Liang Shunde did not fight for the great gift, at least he made Your Majesty withdraw the eunuchs who were stationed in the garrison and the eunuchs who were assigned to guard the garrison, and he also really cleared the fields and settled more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians. Chen Jin and others who deserved to be killed were also killed."

"Yang Xindu did cut redundant staff, but it was a half-hearted move. Those who were just there to get paid for nothing were not cut, but those who were actually doing the work were cut quite a lot, so much so that thieves were rampant in the capital for a time!"

After Ke Weixiong continued, he said, "Let's go! Instead of asking for help from the powerful, it is better to report directly to the king."

"go!"

"We are not afraid of the swords of the Imperial Guards, but we are very disappointed in your father and you!"

Zhang Lun also said this and looked at Yang Shen.

then.

These people all left Yang's house.

Yang Shen said nothing and even felt a little ashamed.

Because he knew that his father was just as these people said he was, and he could understand that these people were disappointed in his father and him. After all, he himself was also very disappointed in his father.

After Ke Weixiong, Zhang Lun and other civil servants and Jinyiwei left Yang's house, Yang Shen came to see Yang Tinghe.

"Father!"

Yang Shen called out gloomily.

Yang Tinghe also looked unhappy.

"madness!"

Yang Tinghe cursed Yang Shen in a deep voice.

Yang Shen took a deep breath and bowed heavily: "Please teach me, father!"

"Who told you not to let them see me?"

Yang Tinghe asked.

Yang Shen said: "My son is also afraid of embarrassing his father."

"What's so difficult for me?!"

"you say!"

Yang Tinghe said sternly.

"They are just a bunch of dogs that your father and I raised. If I beat them now, they will still come back to wag their tails if I throw them one or two buns in the future."

"You didn't let him see us. Have you ever thought about yourself, your own reputation?!"

Yang Tinghe continued to speak harshly.

Obviously really angry.

Yang Shen also felt that his father was angry with him, not with those who criticized him outside.

This made him even more confused.

Yang Shen asked, "If there is anything wrong with my son, my father should tell me clearly."

"If you want to be in power in the future, you have to build momentum for yourself now, and you have to step on others to climb up."

"As a father, I don't need to climb the ladder. As long as I return to the court, I can immediately rely on the emperor to exercise power. Naturally, I don't care what the world thinks of me, unless your majesty wants to kill me! But that is not important to you."

"You should bring them to see me, and even criticize me in front of them, so that you can win the hearts of scholars."

Yang Tinghe said.

Yang Shen was greatly surprised: "But this is unfilial."

"The words of the saints are to be spoken, not used!"

Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice.

Yang Shen couldn't help but look up.

"If you want to be in power in the future, you must accept that anyone in this world can sacrifice for your ambitions!"

"Not only can the emperor sacrifice his personal feelings!"

"Including your own private affairs!"

"Since the emperor is asked to disown his parents for the sake of the world, you must first be impartial!"

"Besides, it's better for you to step on my head than to let Zhang Cong and Liang Shunde step on my head to make progress!"

When Yang Tinghe said this, he pointed at Yang Shen and said, "What can I say about you? Although you are the top scholar, you are really ignorant of worldly affairs. Why don't you learn from your fourth uncle? He betrayed his father without hesitation."

"Father, aren't you asking your son to abandon his conscience?"

Yang Shen asked in surprise.

Snapped!
The cup of tea in Yang Tinghe's hand flew out again.

"When did you start learning from Wang Yangming?!"

"Governing a country does not rely on conscience, but on preserving the laws of nature and eliminating human desires!"

"For justice, anyone can sacrifice!"

Yang Tinghe said this with a serious look on his face.

Yang Shen was slightly startled when he heard what Yang Tinghe said. Then, fearing that Yang Tinghe would get angry with him again, he quickly knelt down and said, "Father is right. I will remember it."

"How can I redeem my son now?"

Yang Shen asked.

Yang Tinghe glanced at Yang Shen, closed his eyes, and said calmly: "Send a congratulatory letter in my name."

"Submit a congratulatory letter?"

"What kind of congratulatory message?"

Yang Shen asked.

Yang Tinghe said: "Of course it is the grand gift that must be given! In order to return to the court, I have to give in and give up fighting for the grand gift first!"

"Then!"

"Remember, the next words are the key."

"You should tell them about this congratulatory letter for your father, and tell your friends in the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial College, and the Imperial Academy."

Yang Shen was stunned again.

Am I that bad?

Isn't this a mean act?

Yang Tinghe himself laughed first.

"This is how you can be in me and I can be in you."

"Even if Your Majesty really wants to reform, you must be careful about what you do!"

"The best thing in the world is here."
