Chapter 1765: Unraveling the Mystery (February Monthly Ticket Plus 2)
Yang Heshu couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. He leaned back and relaxed, nodded and said with a smile: "Then ask me, and I will tell you everything I know."
Bai Shan and Man Bao exchanged a glance, and Bai Shan asked, "Is Xu Yu your family's spy?"
Yang Heshu shook his head, glanced at Tang He, and said, "If my guess is correct, she must have been specially trained by my great-uncle and sent to the palace. There must have been quite a few people who entered the palace around the same time as her. The Fifth Prince was only two or three years old at the time. He was preparing for his future."
Bai Erlang, who had been completely confused and had given up asking questions, widened his eyes. He understood what was said and couldn't help but blurt out, "Is the Fifth Prince going to fight for the throne?"
Yang Heshu couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head and saying, "He's only two or three years old, how could he know what fighting for the throne is? That was just something his grandfather prepared for him, just in case. We can't just wait until he really has the ability or the desire to do so in the future to prepare people, right?"
It has been said that each family will send personnel to the palace for the future.
They can afford this kind of effort, and they just need to wait and see what opportunities will come their way in the future. It would be best if they can succeed naturally.
Before Bai Erlang could figure it out, Bai Shan's mind was already racing. Thinking back to what Yang Heshu and Tang He had just said, he said, "The Fifth Prince doesn't have that intention. So Yang Rong is trying to force the Fifth Prince to fight?"
Yang Heshu did not answer this question and remained silent. After all, this was a crime punishable by the extermination of the entire clan.
But the silence spoke volumes.
Manbao and Baishan frowned together and asked, "What does Lord Yang mean?"
This time Yang Heshu replied, "My father has no intention of getting involved."
Bai Erlang breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying, "It's okay, it's okay."
Everyone turned to look at him, and Manbao said angrily, "Shut up!"
Bai Shanze directly picked up a plate of grilled meat on the table and stuffed it into his hands, "Eat quickly."
Bai Erlang held the plate with a depressed look on his face.
He has no intention of participating, rather than opposing, that is, he is letting it go.
Yang Heshu didn't shy away from this point, saying, "He thought he could attack if he advanced and withdraw immediately if he retreated, but he didn't expect that he and Yang Rong were so deeply involved that it would be difficult to break away at this point."
He looked at Tang He and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, some of the spies you found in the palace this time were planted by my father, right?"
Tang He didn't nod, but he didn't shake his head either. He couldn't leak the secret, so he didn't say anything.
Yang Heshu turned to Bai Shan and Zhou Man and nodded. "It's difficult for Xu Yu to contact those people, and even harder to find them. I'm more inclined to believe that they were able to find them because Yang Rong's spies betrayed the people my father or grandfather had planted there."
Tang He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then secretly gave him a look of approval. Mrs. Tang was so angry that she reached out and twisted his thigh.
Lord Tang hissed, but didn't dare to shout out in public.
Manbao suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are those spies so stubborn that they won't confess anything?"
Yang Heshu took a sip of tea. Tang He looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him. He could only mumble, "Not really..."
"Even if they confess, not many know who their masters are," Yang Heshu said directly, without making things difficult for him. "For example, Xu Yu doesn't know who she's working for. But that doesn't mean the Dali Temple can't do anything to them. Even if they lack some confessions and evidence, as long as the case is there, they can bring charges against them."
"For example, Yu Shui is Yang Rong's housekeeper. As long as it's confirmed that Yu Shui was behind this, even if Xu Yu takes all the blame on himself and makes up an excuse that he just wanted to harm the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, the Dali Temple won't believe him and will still hold Yang Rong accountable."
That just makes sense.
Yu Shui is the housekeeper of his house. It’s not like they can say he has nothing to do with it. If even a fool doesn’t believe it, who else can they fool?
So they had to find a prime culprit for the emperor.
As the aunt of the Yang Mansion in Shuile Street, Yang Guifei could naturally order Yu Shui to do things for her. She was the most suitable person to take the blame.
Yang Heshu said to the two of them, "If you want to see the Fifth Prince, you can tell him directly that my father and Yang Rong are too deeply involved. If Yang Rong is questioned, my father might be implicated by him, so he persuaded them to admit the matter."
Bai Shan was very curious, "Why is Brother Yang unwilling to save Lord Yang?"
Yang Heshu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm saving him. I'm like a hero cutting off his own arm. Even though I lost one, I saved the rest. I can then regroup. If he does this, not only will he get stuck in a quagmire, he'll also drag the entire Yang family into the abyss."
If this situation had happened last year, when the Crown Prince had no children, was still as irritable, self-destructive and ignored state affairs, he would have considered giving the Crown Prince and Prince Gong a hand, letting them both suffer losses before pushing the Fifth Prince to the throne.
But this year, the Crown Prince not only had a child, but his temperament also slowly returned to its past. He regained the support of the court officials, and the Emperor and Empress both loved and trusted him. The Fifth Prince's chances were already slim, not to mention that the Fifth Prince himself didn't have the intention, so he lost even that slim chance.
Yang Heshu hated forcing others to do things. Since the Fifth Prince had no such intention, he was very unhappy that Yang Rong was deliberately trying to drag the Fifth Prince into this.
There were many things he was not comfortable saying to Zhou Man and others. He couldn't even tell his wife and friends around him, because that was the most despicable intention in everyone's heart.
The various families, especially the Cui family, disliked the Crown Prince. His methods were as ruthless as those of the current emperor. No matter how friendly and tolerant they appeared, they could not change the Crown Prince's decisiveness and arrogance, which was the same as the Emperor's.
He could see that for at least the next twenty years, the Crown Prince, like His Majesty, would re-promote official education, expand the imperial examination system, and further tighten the system of selecting officials based on rank. The clan records had already been revised once, and no one knew whether they would be revised again after the Crown Prince ascended the throne. The Cui clan had already been demoted from first to third rank. There were many cases of aristocratic families encroaching on fertile land in various places, and His Majesty had turned a blind eye to this. But when the Crown Prince ascended the throne, he would definitely use this matter to establish his authority...
If even he could see the future, his uncles and aunts, their close friends and relatives, would surely have seen it as well.
Obviously, they wanted a king who could rule the world with them.
However, except for the one about revising the clan annals, the other things the emperor and the prince wanted to do were also what Yang Heshu wanted to do.
So in his opinion, his political views were consistent with those of the Emperor and the Crown Prince, but not with those of his father...
Yang Heshu sighed, turned his head to look at the sky outside the window and said, "Do you have anything else you want to ask? If not, get up and go over. It should be just in time now."
"Yes!" Manbao raised his hand and asked seriously, "If the Fifth Prince doesn't take the blame, what will the Dali Temple ultimately say about Yang Rong, and what about those families who sent spies into the palace?"
Yang Heshu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe some of your land will be confiscated, Yang Rong. You might even be exiled."
Yang Heshu: I could have achieved the feat of following the dragon, but it seems that it was ruined by someone.
It's the last few hours of June. It's a waste to save the monthly ticket until tomorrow. Let's take a look at Yang Meiren, who is beautiful but has lost the merit of following the dragon. Vote for her to comfort her.
Manbao: Good night
