Chapter 218 Early Ming Dynasty 3 Yang

In an elegant courtyard in the outer city of the imperial capital, three young scholars of great talent and noble bearing were discussing the current situation in the world.

Three cups of tea were steaming, and a scholar took a sip from one of them.

The leader said, "According to the current situation, I am the most suitable person to join the Second Prince Tang Chengge. You two should think about how to enter the court."

The other two scholars said, "I agree with what Shiqi said. Brother Shiqi was the Minister of War in his previous life."

The leading scholar smiled and said, "Mianren, you are joking. Now that we have come to this world, the past is gone."

That’s right, they are the three people known as the “Three Yangs” during the Ming Dynasty: Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu.

He, Yang Rong and Yang Pu assisted in the administration at the same time and were called "Three Yangs". Yang Shiqi was the Southern Yang. He died at the age of 75. After his death, he was given the titles of Grand Master, Zuo Zhuguo, etc. and the posthumous title of Wen Ding.

Chu Mo originally planned to leave secret agents beside each prince when he left, but the invasion of the ancient barbarians and the late-night summons disrupted Chu Mo's plan.

According to Lin Ziwu's investigation, the Second Prince will go out drinking with the officers in the barracks today. Chu Mo plans to let Yang Shiqi "meet" him by chance and join the Second Prince's army. However, before dawn, Chu Mo followed Lin Mingwei and left the imperial capital.

There was nothing I could do but leave the three of them here together and let them make their own decisions based on the situation.

So after some discussion among the three of them, they used the money left by Chu Mo to purchase this courtyard. Yang Shiqi joined the second prince as planned, while Yang Rong and Yang Pu lived here, waiting for the opportunity to serve as officials in the court.

Yang Shiqi looked up at the sun and said to Yang Rong and Yang Pu, "Mianren, Hongji, it's time for me to leave. I look forward to the reunion of the three Yangs."

Yang Rong and Yang Pu stood up at the same time, clasped their fists and said, "Brother Shiqi, take care of yourself. I hope your trip goes well."

Yang Shiqi did not act too pretentiously. He left the courtyard and headed straight for the inner city.

In the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace, Tang Tiansheng was also settling scores. In front of all the civil and military officials, he threw a pile of documents onto the hall.

The next second, Tang Tiansheng's cold voice rang out in the hall: "Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Jiang Qi, don't you have anything you want to tell me? I have been waiting for your explanation these days."

I saw a figure in the hall kneeling on the ground with a deathly pale face.

Tang Tiansheng pointed at the document on the hall and said, "Everyone here should have heard about the sea monster attack a few days ago. It was written by this person."

"This man bribed officials and colluded with the sea monster to sabotage the Ascension Plan and came to the imperial capital to cause trouble. He conspired with two scholars from the Hanlin Academy to let the sea monster attack the royal family. How dare you think of such an idea? You really don't deserve to die."

"I didn't settle accounts with you at that time because I was concerned about the reputation of the court. I was afraid that if the students knew about this, they would no longer be willing to work for me. You all here, do you really think that your little actions in secret can escape my eyes? Let me tell you, I have recorded everything you have done."

After saying this, Tang Tiansheng glanced at everyone with murderous intent on his face, carrying a huge aura of intimidation.

All the civil and military officials lowered their heads and stood respectfully, and no one dared to look him in the eye.

They knew that although the emperor openly punished his colleagues who had undermined the Ascension Plan, he also took the opportunity to warn all civil and military officials.

After beating everyone up, Tang Tiansheng looked at the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel who was kowtowing like crazy, and then said word by word: "Anying, have your men close the net. All officials involved in this case, no matter where they are, should be arrested and brought to the imperial capital. They will be beheaded together in ten days."

The next second, a voice sounded: "Yes, I obey your command."

The civil and military officials only heard the voice but never saw the person, and they were all terrified. They once again recalled the years when they were dominated by fear at the hands of the Shadow Guards.

Tang Tiansheng said, "Everyone, let's stop here for today. I hope that similar things won't happen again. If it happens again, I will investigate it thoroughly and show no mercy to anyone who did it."

Saiyanba, fifty miles away from Hanyang Pass, is where the 500,000-strong ancient barbarian army stayed. From afar, one could see endless military tents set up on Saiyanba, where densely packed soldiers were training.

At this time, in the central army tent of Guman, Yelu Xiong was summoning all the generals to discuss.

Seeing everyone gathered, Yelu Xiong found that Guliduo was missing and couldn't help feeling sad. This deputy general who had accompanied him in the battle from the beginning has now become a corpse.

Suppressing his inner sorrow, Yelu Xiong glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the enemy has made sufficient preparations this time. My deputy general Guliduo died for the country. I, Yelu Xiong, will avenge this hatred in my lifetime. Who among you knows who the man with the double swords is?"

At this time, a soldier in the rear said: "Commander, as the commander guarding Hanyang Pass, I have fought with the Anxi General Zhao Pu more than a dozen times. I know all eight of his lieutenant generals, but this person is not one of them. I guess he must have come with the enemy commander."

Yelu Xiong said solemnly, "You, send someone to investigate. Also, the veteran who injured Tan Yuanji in the end, they are not simple people. Investigate together. The more detailed the information, the better."

The general was very happy, so he hurriedly walked out of the central military tent and began to contact the spies inside Hanyang Pass.

Afterwards, Yelu Xiong ordered again: "Tan Yuanji, go back and heal your wounds as soon as possible. Yelu Ning and Yelu Yuan will lead the soldiers to set up a trap one mile outside the military camp to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp late at night."

"Also, the two of you must lead a team of soldiers to ambush outside. If anyone attacks the camp, you must rush out immediately. Then we can catch the turtle in the jar."

Upon hearing this, Yelu Ning and Yelu Yuan turned around and walked out of the tent without any doubt to complete the task assigned by the commander.
