Shu King's Mansion

"Your Highness, the Yang family must have come to find you." Cen Wenben didn't believe that something big happened. As the new head of the Hongnong Yang family, Yang Hongli, could come to find his son-in-law.

"Teacher, you know that since the Dou family left, there has been no suitable head of the Yang family. With Yang Gongren's trouble, otherwise how could Duke Zhuang get the position of the head of the family?

Now he urgently needs some achievements to gain a foothold, so he asked Xiao Wang to help him. Do you think he can help?"

Li Chengqian and Li Tai have a good father-in-law behind them who can help them, so why can't he do it? Besides, once Yang Hongli can control the entire Hongnong Yang family, his strength will definitely skyrocket three points.

Cen Wenben did not immediately answer Li Ke. He was weighing whether this risk was worth taking. The emperor was furious this time.

Otherwise, how could he be beaten to the end and traveled to Shaozhou? I heard that the Jiaofangsi was already preparing to accept the family members of the Yang Mansion.

He took a sip of Li Ke and handed over the tea: "Your Highness, it's not difficult to help them, but have you ever thought about it? The Yang family doesn't know how to restrain themselves. The big tree attracts wind. If this continues, it will affect us."

Cen Wenben originally disagreed with this marriage. A branch of the royal family in the former dynasty like the Yang family should naturally keep a certain distance as Li Ke, but due to Yang Fei's persistence, he had no choice.

Cen Wenben, your concerns Li Ke knew, and then quickly explained: "Duke Lu Zhuang is a humble and cautious person, not only is he highly appreciated by his father, but also has a good reputation in the court. He said that as long as he firmly sits in the position of the head of the Yang family, he must be cleansed."

Li Ke, the old Taishan Yang Hongli, was the nephew of Yang Su, the Minister of the Sui Dynasty. During the Wude period, Li Yuan made contributions to the Sui Dynasty and ordered Yang Hongli to inherit the title of Duke of Qinghe County and to be appointed as the crown prince and the clan.

However, because of his disagreement with the King of Qi, he was driven out of the Eastern Palace and surrendered to Li Shimin, who was still the King of Qin at that time. After the battle of Xuanwu Gate, he moved to the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat and Cen Wenben to work in Hongwen Hall. Later, because he was highly appreciated by the emperor, he was promoted to the chief of the Grand Governor's Office of Jingzhou and became a chief official.

Although he had been in contact for a long time, there was always something that Cen Wenben could not see through, which was also the reason why Cen Wenben was worried about him.

"Teacher, Changsun Wuji's daughter has entered the Eastern Palace. When he saw the princess, Changsun Wuji could let go. If you can't seize this opportunity, the plan you have made to distract their nephew and uncle will be in vain."

Seeing Cen Wenben not speaking, Li Ke poured him another cup and then said, "If you don't hurry up and help the enemy of the Eastern Palace, when the prince cleans up everyone, do you think he will be the first to clean up, are we?"

What Li Ke said was very reasonable. Judging from the previous attitude of the Eastern Palace towards the King of Wei, as long as Li Tai did not rebel, there would definitely be nothing. Let’s talk about the matter of Tonglu this time, and what happened, the prince still made the scene for him without regrets.

"Okay, old ministers can try it. It should be no big problem to protect the elderly, weak, women and children of Yang Gongren's lineage." ...

"Jingren, many people have pleaded for Yang Gongren in the past two days, asking me to pardon his family. Have you heard anything below?" After saying that, Li Shimin relaxed his muscles and looked at Cen Wenben with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I have heard something. You know that Yang Gongren was a Huangmen Minister when he was Emperor Wude. Many people have received his favors. This time he is really indifferent to the Tian family. However, if he dealt with his family like this, it will inevitably affect His Majesty's reputation."

Well, after hearing Cen Wenben's words, Li Shimin nodded, then waved to Cen Wenben again, signaling Cen Wenben to sit down: "What do you think I should do?"

"I think it's enough to deal with Yang Gongren and his sons. As for those women and children who were confiscated into the Jiaofangsi, they should be released to the Yang family. First, to demonstrate Your Majesty's kindness, and second, to plan his contribution to the assistance of Emperor Wude."

This Cen Wenben really has a delicate heart, which is great. If he only dealt with his whole family like this, wouldn’t he seem too narrow-minded?

"Okay, then let's draw an order. Yang Gongren's family was sent to Shaozhou, and all the women, children, young and old were returned to the Yang family, telling them to remember their identity, and the grace of the Tian family is worthwhile."

Cen Wenben certainly understood that over the years, the Yang family of Hongnong and many of the former Sui Dynasty had contact with the old and young masters of the former Sui Dynasty, and they violated the emperor's taboo. Otherwise, how could the emperor be so serious because of this little thing?

If all the family could be confiscated and exterminated, it would not be enough for Wei Zheng's head to chop a hundred times. Why have he never seen the emperor deal with him seriously? He should do whatever he should do.

"I hope you will handle it immediately after you go down. If the Yang family gets such a favor from Your Majesty, you will be grateful and loyal to the Lord." ...

At noon the next day, Yang Hongli's eldest son, Yang Hanyu, went to the Shu Palace to send a greeting to Li Ke, and brought a lot of gifts.

"How about it, uncle, have you received the imperial edict from the Secretariat?" Li Ke asked with a smile after he invited Yang Hanyu to the study room.

"Haha, I've received it a long time ago, but I have to thank Your Highness and Lord Cen for this. With this matter as a prelude, my father, the head of the Yang family, has finally settled down."

"That's good. I'm not wasting my efforts to help my father-in-law settle down in this position." While speaking, Li Ke also took the tea handed over by Yang Hanyu.

"The Yuan Dynasty is coming soon, and my father will also take his younger sister to Beijing to report his work. He will definitely come to the door in person at that time."

Although Li Ke is Yang Hongli's son-in-law in terms of generations, in terms of etiquette and strength, Li Ke is not something he, the head of the Yang family who just climbed up from the strata, cannot afford to offend him.

Seeing Yang Hanyu so humble, Li Ke couldn't help but waved his hand, Gu Zuoda dialect and said, "Hey, what's wrong with my father-in-law coming to Beijing, it's all my juniors who should come to visit me. How dare I work for him? Besides, we are all a family, why do we have to speak two dialects?"

"However, if my father-in-law wants to keep the head of the family for a long time, some of his tails still need to be cleaned up. You also know that the father is a nostalgic person. If you can pardon those women and children today, you can pardon Yang Gongren tomorrow. This is something that must be guarded against. Do you understand what I mean?"

Damn, yes, this Yang Gongren has always been incompatible with their family. Since the clan intends to elect his father, he has been fighting against them everywhere. If it weren't for bribing the hearts of the clan, who would have saved them?

Besides, the old guy has been in the court for so many years. If the emperor's anger is gone after a while and someone is doing his best to make things happen for him, then he will not be able to continue to get along with me when he comes back.

Thinking of this, Yang Hanyu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, your highness, I will find a way to make them disappear." After saying that, he cried with Li Ke.
