Chapter 372
We must slow down first, and the final step must be taken out by the emperor himself. If the emperor does not want to take this step and they are pressing tightly, then the opposite result may be achieved in the end.
After his mind was settled, Gao Feng finally opened his eyes and spoke.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks there are still many doubts in this case, so it is not appropriate to draw a conclusion immediately."
Yang Jian was slightly surprised when he heard this. He looked up at Gao Feng and shouted another title that had not been mentioned for several years, "Lonely Gong thought what should I do?"
Gao Bing was slightly proud in his heart. He guessed the emperor's thoughts correctly. The emperor had no intention of defeating Yang Guang.
After organizing the idea, Gao Feng said: "I think it is not appropriate to draw a conclusion for the time being. It is better to give more time to the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Censorate's Office to try and investigate the case. Yu Xiaoren only stated that King Jin is suspected and cannot be found guilty. He should also search for more evidence to draw a conclusion. However, for the protection of King Jin, I think King Jin should avoid suspicion at the moment. Before further investigation results prove that King Jin has nothing to do with the assassination case, King Jin should stay in the capital for the time being."
"Is that?" Yang Jian seriously thought about this method of disposal. This was a temporary solution, giving Yang Jian some buffering time so that he could think more carefully so that he would not make a result in a hurry. The more Yang Jian thought about it, the more he felt that this method of disposal was good. This was not the final result, but just a temporary temporary solution. No matter what the results of the investigation were found in the future, Yang Jian should have enough time to consider the whole process during this period.
After hearing Gao Yang's words, Yang Su's face turned very ugly. At first glance, Gao Yang's plan seemed to be beneficial to Yang Guang, but in fact it was not. On the surface, it was not the case. Yang Guang was just a suspect in the assassination case. Once the investigation was clear in the future, he would naturally give him an explanation. But Yang Su knew that this was just the surface. Gao Yang was worthy of being the prime minister who had been in charge of the court for more than ten years, and he directly punished Yang Guang to death as soon as he took action. On the surface, Yang Guang's result was good, but in fact? The result found by the court now was that Yu Xiaoren was the real person involved in the case. Although the King of Jin was very suspicious, there was not enough evidence. Now Gao Ying's words, he was not guilty of Yang Guang's crime for the time being, which was equivalent to Yang Guang's suspicion on his back. What's even more terrible is that Gao Yang took this opportunity to let Yang Guang avoid suspicion.
The so-called avoidance of suspicion sounds nice, but in fact it means that Yang Guang is under house arrest and depriving him of his actual power.
Especially this avoidance of suspicion does not have a clear time limit, but rather it is said that it will be found that the assassination case has nothing to do with Yang Guang.
As for when the case will be found, who can be sure now? Just looking at the assassins and Yu Xiaoren who have surfaced can make everyone suffer a headache. This is definitely not a case that can be investigated. If the case cannot be found in one day, then Yang Guang will be suspected for one day, and he will only stay in the palace of the capital for one day. Although there is no conviction on the surface, this is worse than the result of the conviction. If you really think that Yang Guang is the latter of the assassination case now, maybe the emperor will not deal with it like this.
Ruthless, accurate and stable!
Gao Yang took action, and it was indeed not unfamiliar. He had no idea of convicting Yang Guang immediately. However, the suggestions he made made Yang Guang convicted.
A prince who was suspected of assassinating the crown prince on his back, and a prince who could only stay in the capital's palace to avoid suspicion, could not return to the Yangzhou vassal state general administration. During this period of avoiding suspicion, he was naturally not suitable to serve as the commander of the Northern Expedition. From then on, Yang Guang was holding such a shit on his head, and his prestige and reputation would inevitably be greatly affected.
Yang Sushe wet her back with sweat. Gao Feng was really cruel. But he couldn't refute it yet. He couldn't say that King Jin was not guilty, and that he had no right to speak without any evidence. What's the point of saying this?
Yang Jian was a little moved and thought this method was good.
Yang Guang is temporarily dealt with it and put it aside first. Regardless of whether Yang Guang is the real murderer or not, he can give him time to make comprehensive considerations. If he still wants to insist on abolishing Yong and establishing Guang, then he needs time to clear Yang Jian of this suspicion. If he wants to punish Yang Guang here, then he also needs time to arrange the follow-up matters in advance. Whether it is Yang Yong or Yang Guang, they are not just ordinary princes. They are representatives of important forces in the court. They can move their whole body after one move. They must be prepared before anyone can be moved, otherwise, it may cause great turmoil.
It was just right to let Yang Guang stay in the capital for the time being. At this time, Yang Jian was not at ease to let Yang Guang return to Yangzhou, and he was even more at ease to let him continue to command the northern expedition at this time.
"The war in the north is about to begin, how can we change the commander at the last minute?" Yang Su was still making the final effort. If Gao Yang's suggestion was approved by the emperor, then the King of Jin would really be skinned even if he never died. Especially for the Northern Expedition, the King of Jin had put in a lot of effort to achieve the current situation. If the incident in front of him was rejected by Gao Ying's words, the blow would be too big.
Gao Bing faced Yang Su's anxiety, full of indifference and disdain, "This is the protection of King Jin and also the responsibility of His Majesty. Now King Jin is suspected of assassinating the Grandson. How can he command hundreds of thousands of Northern Expedition troops at this time? Under such circumstances, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and more than a hundred generals in charge believe King Jin? Not to mention, the Eastern Marshal is His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grand Prince. Before the battle started, the Grand Marshal and the Eastern Marshal are already in such a relationship. Can you rest assured? This battle is related to the fate of the country and the whole country is praying for victory. We dare not be careless. If there is a gap at that time, Yue Gong can think about the consequences. Who can bear such consequences and who can bear such consequences?"
Yang Su was silent.
After this incident, the emperor must have a different view of the King of Jin. At this time, the emperor will easily hand over the command of the entire Northern Expedition to the King of Jin? Will he hand over hundreds of thousands of people to the King of Jin? If the Taisun was really sent by the King of Jin to assassinate him, then the emperor handed over the entire country's troops to the Queen of Jin, who can guarantee that the King of Jin will not do anything bigger then?
There is no need for any conclusive evidence. With a little suspicion, the emperor will never let the King of Jin lead the army to the north at this time.
"The King of Jin has been out of town for many years and is working hard for the country. This time, let him rest in Beijing for a while. As for the Northern Expedition, another commander will be selected." Yang Jian thought for a while, but in the end he was unable to allow Yang Guang to continue to lead the Northern Expedition army.
Although changing commanders at the last stage is a taboo in military strategists, it is better than losing control of hundreds of thousands of people.
"Who can be the handsome guy?" Yang Jian asked.
Yang Guang was actually a very suitable commander of the army. According to the practice of this scale, according to the practice of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, he would definitely have to send a royal family to command the army. Sometimes he even needed the emperor to command the army personally. It would never be possible for foreign ministers to command the army unless it was absolutely necessary. Yang Jian has always been extremely cautious about his subordinates and would never relax this principle. However, he was not very interested in the command of the army personally. His strength was not in commanding the army and fighting. Moreover, for such a large war, even if it was just a name, he did not want to. First, he was not familiar with military affairs, and second, he was older, and as an emperor, he needed to be in charge of the center and take charge of the overall situation.
"I ask Your Majesty to personally lead the army to defeat the Turks in the north!" Yang Su heard. It is better to let the emperor go to war than to let other princes go to war, especially the prince cannot take this opportunity to lead the troops to fight in the north.
However, his proposal was rejected directly by Yang Jian, who was not the kind of person who was very fond of merit.
Yang Suzhe said again before Gao Feng spoke: "I think the emperor's grandson can be commanded by the Northern Expedition."
Yang Jian was a little surprised that Yang Su actually recommended Yang Lin as the general, but after thinking for a while, he also felt that this was a good suggestion. Yang Lin was previously appointed as the Eastern Road Marshal and had a lot of preparations for the early stage of the Northern Expedition. At this time, he could quickly take over the Northern Expedition Army. Moreover, Yang Lin was the crown prince and his status in the court was very high, so there was no problem in commanding the generals. However, Yang Lin was also somewhat deficient in the generals. First of all, he was too young and lacked qualifications. After all, this was a battle of hundreds of thousands of people, and Yang Jian did not dare to put all his hopes on Yi Feng.
Sure enough, Liu Shu quickly received Gao Feng's instructions and immediately stepped out to object.
The reason is just as Yang Jian thought, the crown prince was too young and had no qualifications at all, and the generals were afraid that they would not accept it.
"When King Wei led the army to the Northern Expedition, he was just the same as the Emperor's Grandson Ru this year, but he achieved excellent results in both commands. Besides, the Emperor's Grandson was the general, and he did not need to make real decisions and commands. He only needed the Emperor's Grandson to be the general, and his Majesty could choose a few experienced and steady generals to be the generals." Yang Su refuted. Large-scale wars are indeed usual for clan leaders, but this is just to avoid letting foreign ministers be the generals, and it is also a kind of supervision of the generals in command. In most cases, these generals were indeed just to take charge. Just like the many battles in the Sui Dynasty, the battle of sanctioning Chen, and Yang Guang took charge, but in fact, the Chen Da Da was the general.
The real commander of the army was the chief Gao Yang, among which the marshal Yang Jun commanded the Chen army all the way, but the real commander was his wife's uncle. As well as Yang Liang's Eastern Expedition last year, Gao Yang's commander, and several Northern Expeditions by King Yang Shuang of the Guards, they were not the real commander. Every time these princes took command, the court actually sent important civil officials or military generals to serve as deputy positions and actually commanded the mobilization of the army. These princes with the title of the commander are more of the commander's seal and issued orders according to the seal when needed. Therefore, Yang Su recommended the grandson as the commander. In fact, qualifications and other aspects are not very important. What is important is that he is the crown prince, and this is enough.
Yang Jian was a little hesitant. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
