Chapter 617
Empress Dowager Yu was so talkative, but Uncle Yu was caught off guard.
He had already prepared a long speech, telling Empress Dowager Yu how critical the situation is now, and if the situation in Jiankang cannot be calmed down, it will not be a matter of fame after the elder brother.
But Empress Dowager Yu, and the entire Yu family, will be reduced to the eternal hell.
For example, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the great general He Jin, who was also the uncle of the country, also lost his power for a while, but was assassinated by the ten permanent servants when the emperor Liu Bian was still a minor.
Without the support of the relatives in power, everyone knows what happened to the Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor afterwards.
Considering that half of the country has fallen into the hands of demons, the emperor's authority is much weaker than that of Han Xiandi.
Yu Yuangui offended countless aristocratic families and clans in order to seize power and establish prestige in front of him.
Now that riots are about to break out, the most important thing is to quickly dispatch troops to Beijing to stabilize order.
Otherwise, the whole Jiankang will be caught in a bloody storm.
Of course, if the person who came to King Qin was an ambitious man like Dong Zhuo, the end may not be so good...
It's just that at this stage, the emperor should consider how to step down decently, instead of forcing how to come back from the jedi.
Today's Yu family is facing the same problem:
In view of the complete imbalance of power in the situation, after the sudden death of Yu Yuangui and the resistance of the gentry groups, the position of the emperor was basically lost.
If nothing is done, the Yu family will be completely torn apart in the fierce political struggle with the gentry.
But if troops are transferred to Beijing, will it be Dong Zhuo or Liu Bei?
After Liu Bei accepts the abdication, he will probably still care about the kinship of the same clan. When Dong Zhuo comes, he will stay overnight on the dragon bed and poison the queen mother!
After all, Cheng Jinyang is the husband-in-law of the eldest princess of Nankang, and the Yu family is also considered his natal family to him, so he is more like Uncle Liu Huang than the cruel and heartless Dong Zhuo.
Coupled with the fact that there are a bunch of young ladies from aristocratic families in his harem, it proves that this guy has an excellent relationship with the nobles.
If he could help him, the Yu family would be able to retreat bravely from the crisis of Yu Yuangui's death, and avoid the tragic ending of his relative He's in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Yu Yuangui had already explained the relationship with Yu's children before he died.
If there is no Cheng Jinyang, then in the face of the violent counterattack of the gentry, Uncle Yu will immediately resign from the post of Jinyiwei, and immediately go up the river to Jingzhou to take over the position of the commander-in-chief of the Longxiang Army left by Yu Yuangui, and then send the Yu clan to the army as soon as possible. The children were placed in the positions of officers at all levels of the Longxiang Army.
The advantage of this is to turn the country into a home, turn Jingzhou into the territory of the Yu family, and turn the Longxiang army into the private army of the Yu family.
As for the long-term impact, it can only be said that the harm outweighs the benefit, and the way to bring disaster.
In the past, the Wang family and the Sima family in Taiyuan divided the world in half, and Wang Chuzhong's rebellion almost wiped out most of the empire's national power.
Such a bad lesson from the past is here. Now the result of Yu's attempt to occupy Longxiang Army and Jingzhou by force is to drop to the lowest point in Shiliu Qingyi's evaluation, and even become a national thief... Of course, quick death or slow suicide, in fact, There is no choice.
It is simply that Cheng Jinyang exists now. He is not only the son-in-law of the Yu family, but also the valued son-in-law of the Wu family. …
Strength, status, and political prestige are all the same for a while.
As long as Cheng Jinyang came forward to protect the Yu clan in Yanling, there would be a lot of room for maneuver... No, with his strength and status, it would be better to say that he could 100% save the Yu clan who was being attacked by a mob!
Otherwise, as the consort of the royal family, could he still let the eldest princess of Nankang wear sackcloth and filial piety without being completely naked?
The above is Yu Yuangui's analysis of the entire political situation, and it is also the reason that Uncle Yu intends to use to persuade Queen Mother Yu.
However, before the conversation started, Empress Dowager Yu had already agreed to ask Cheng Jinyang for help, which caught Yu Shuyu by surprise.
"Your Majesty?" Uncle Yu decided to speak more clearly, lest Empress Dowager Yu have unnecessary expectations and prejudgments for Cheng Jinyang, "This son-in-law has a very good relationship with the nobles..."
"If this is the case, wouldn't it be just right?" Empress Dowager Yu said with a sigh, "If other towns came to King Qin, what would it be like to forcefully suppress the rebellion for a while?"
"King Qin can bring the gentry back together? Or can he guard Jiankang forever?"
"Your Majesty..." Yu Shuyu was quite surprised. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother could see the current situation so thoroughly, so he knelt down and pleaded guilty, "I... I am incompetent, I am guilty."
"Get up, it's not your fault." Empress Dowager Yu waved her hand wistfully, and said, "Time and destiny are beyond human power. When the late emperor was alive, he sighed that his body was like a mayfly. It’s still vulnerable.”
"Thinking about it carefully, I remember that before the late emperor passed away, he asked my son to choose whether to inherit the server of the Sima family."
Empress Dowager Yu said in a trance:
"At that time, the late emperor also said, 'If you don't sit on this seat, your fate will be even more tragic', but I don't understand... Now it seems that even if you can't get rid of sitting on the throne forever, How can it compare to the pain of losing a position of power?"
"Since the first emperor has already expected it, I will not blame my brother anymore."
"He failed to save this country, and the late emperor never counted on him."
"Letting Nankang marry Cheng Jinyang is the last backhand left by the late emperor to protect our mother and son."
"You mean, the first emperor..." Yu Shuyu said in astonishment, and then quickly realized.
As the commander of Jin Yiwei, he certainly knew that when the late emperor was alive, he had summoned Cheng Jinyang once, and proposed to marry the eldest princess of Nankang to him.
It was only later that the first emperor never mentioned this matter again, giving people a feeling that the first emperor had repented.
Now it seems that there are ulterior motives.
If at that time the late emperor had pointed out the marriage and forced Cheng Jinyang to formally become the son-in-law, causing him to miss out on those young ladies of the family, he would easily develop hatred towards the royal family.
On the contrary, now, Princess Nankang condescends to marry, but she is not allowed to be a real wife, which makes Cheng Jinyang feel guilty towards her.
Coupled with the fact that there are too many eldest ladies from aristocratic families in Cheng Jinyang's harem, there is a hidden danger that the family relatives of the gentry will not lose their tails.
It became a matter of course to introduce another party that could check and balance the power of the five surnames, such as the Yanling Yu family.
In this way, Cheng Jinyang will definitely keep the Yanling Yu clan!
Not only to take into account the face and emotions of Princess Nankang, but also to prevent the influence of foreign relatives from forming an iron plate.
The late emperor's plan is so terrifying!
