All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 402: Imperial Mind

In this way, even if King You was killed, if he was vindicated and rehabilitated, and his reputation was damaged, people in the world would no longer think that King You was better.

King You is already dead, even if he has some stigma attached to him, can he still crawl out of the grave to argue?

Madam Yu frowned, but she didn't like the courtiers' tricks: "However, if Shizi Yin is victorious, the emperor's prestige will be enhanced, and Prince You's grievances will be rehabilitated more logically, how clever Shizi Yin is, he must be able to understand human nature. , I understand this very well, so I ask for peace."

Before, Mrs. Yu thought that this Prince Yin was a scorpion with hidden scales, but now she seems to be underestimating it.

Zhou Linghuai lowered his head and drank tea, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his narrow eyes.

From the time Ye Hanyuan beat the drum of Dengwen, he had guessed that the grievances of the father and the king were not so easy to clear up. Not to mention this, the courtiers are very involved, and they will not sit and watch, even the dog emperor himself, there are quite a few With scruples, how could it be possible to disregard his own reputation for the sake of a dead imperial brother?

Therefore, in his initial plan, there was no so-called "rehabilitation" of grievances.

After Ye Hanyuan entered Beijing, he beat the Dengwen drum to expose the charge of Marquis Changxing to the world, and with the evidence brought into the capital, Marquis Changxing couldn't help it, so when Ye Hanyuan entered the hall, he directly assassinated the Dog Emperor.

At that time, Li Qiguang of Shandong, in the name of "the ignorant ruler is in power and harms the loyal and the good", holds high the anti-flag of "requesting orders for the people", and rebels.

It's that simple, hit the nail on the head.

Even so, he did not regret changing the original plan.

Some things, going around in circles can always achieve the goal.

But for some people, since they have decided to protect them, they must protect them thoroughly without any hesitation.

Yu Zongshen's words changed again: "The case of King You has caused the emperor to lose trust in the courtiers. Now that King You's vindication is imminent, the emperor is faced with a big problem, that is, once the vindication of King You is successful, should the Prince of Yin inherit the throne of King You and succeed him. King You's legacy, in charge of Youzhou's 300,000 soldiers and horses, and in charge of Youzhou's wars, the emperor wanted to use Yin Shizi, but Yin Shizi was weak, crippled, and sick, so he couldn't rest assured, so he simply asked him to go to Shandong to pacify the chaos and give it a try Yin Shizi's ability."

Mrs. Yu was tired and panicked: "Even if Shizi Yin was defeated, a young man with a weak age, crippled leg, and a sickness would not be enough to damage the majesty of the Zhou Dynasty. The emperor fulfilled Shizi Yin's benevolence, righteousness, and loyalty. The heart of filial piety can get a good reputation, and secondly, he will use Yin Shizi to test the military situation in Shandong, and then send more experienced generals to quell the rebellion, and he will be more confident."

This is the emperor's mind, and behind the seemingly absurd, there is always a chilling calculation hidden.

The emperor sent Yu Linwei to protect the son of Yin, obviously still valued the relationship with this nephew, but the so-called family bloodline always involved various calculations, but it was even more terrifying.

Yu Zong nodded cautiously: "Yin Shizi, he has also calculated his heart, and wants to gain the emperor's trust and regain control of Youzhou's 300,000 army by virtue of his efforts to pacify the chaos."

Although the emperor's mind is deep, it is not as good as Yin Huaixi's son, who can push the boat along the river, and it is unfathomable.

Therefore, all this was calculated by Yin Huaixi.

Ever since Ye Hanyuan beat the Dengwen drum, the situation in the courtroom was under Yin Huaixi's control.

Mrs. Yu naturally also thought of this: "In history, there are not a few young people who have great ambitions. He is so ambitious, and the only one who tries to seal the king's army with a broken body is Yin Huaixi," she turned. Looking at Zhou Linghuai, Zhou Linghuai and Yin Huaixi are teenage friends: "Do you think Yin Huaixi will have a chance to quell the rebellion here?"

At present, due to the case of King You, "people's anger" is everywhere, and Li Qiguang is even more logical to launch a rebellion under the guise of "requesting the people for his life".

Whoever did not invite Chu in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, once the imperial court's suppression of the rebellion was defeated, Li Qiguang made a big noise, and sat firmly in Shandong, there would be a steady stream of anti-Chou forces to join Li Qiguang, and the "people's anger" in various places would intensify, and the world would be in chaos.

It is precisely because of this understanding that no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to invite troops to quell the rebellion.

There is no certainty of victory, and it is just a loss of a family's head.

"Ten percent!" Zhou Linghuai put down the teacup and said casually.

Not only Mrs. Yu, but also Yu Zongshen looked surprised and asked, "The situation in Shandong is complicated, and it has always been a serious concern for the court. Now Li Qiguang has formed a trend with the clan, which shows his prestige in the clan and in the local area."

Zhou Linghuai said in a low voice: "At most three months, Yin Huaixi will return to the dynasty with a great victory."

Madam Yu and Yu Zongshen were speechless at the same time.

Not only is there a 100% certainty, but it will only take three months to quell the rebellion in Shandong. Did they underestimate Yin Huaixi, or did Zhou Linghuai raise Yin Huaixi?

There seems to be no reason for this, but it is very scary to think about it.

Zhou Linghuai pointed it out: "Yin Shizi's purpose is very clear. First, it is logical to vindicate the grievances of King You; second, to gain the emperor's trust and take charge of the military power in Youzhou, both of which are inseparable from the suppression of rebellion in Shandong."

As soon as these words came out, Madam Yu and Yu Zongshen couldn't help but look shocked.

One has lived most of his life and is mature, and the other is the second assistant in the cabinet, in charge of power. Neither of them is simple, how can they not understand this?

Zhou Linghuai was clearly a vague reminder.

Since Ye Hanyuan beat the Dengwen drum, the overall situation of the court has been under Yin Huaixi's calculation, and even the overall situation of Shandong is under Yin Huaixi's control.

In this way, Yin Huaixi is more than a terrible one?

After seeing the world, Mrs. Yu quickly calmed down and asked, "Can Yin Huaixi regain control of Youzhou?"

Yin Huaixi is indeed very calculating and scheming, but Youzhou is a complex area, it is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is only two thousand miles away from Jingzhao. It is the strongest line of defense in the Great Zhou Dynasty, capable of deterring vassal kings internally and resisting foreign enemies externally. Can the emperor really trust Youzhou to hand over to a weak-year-old, crippled leg, and sickly young boy to guard?

Even if Yin Huaixi quelled the Shandong rebellion and proved his ability, there are many variables in this matter.

After all, your heart is unpredictable.

The Manchu civil and military would not be able to pass this level.

Zhou Linghuai chuckled: "Yin Huaixi, Mr. Xianyun brought it into the palace."

Mrs. Yu sucked in a breath of cold air, her pupils froze and did not move: "So it turns out that Shandong has done a good job in pacifying the chaos, and coupled with the recommendation of a person of great virtue, it can be guaranteed. This Prince Yin, really," she said sharply. After a long pause, he sighed, "It's a no-brainer!"
