Chapter 29 Do it when you know you can't do it! Three years in a flash!

"Okay, I already have an idea!" Yang Cheng said.

"I wonder what my father is thinking?" Yang Long and many of the captains looked expectant, and they looked at Yang Cheng. Yang Cheng looked around the account with calm eyes, and then said, "Go back to Beijing to have a banquet!"

"What?" everyone exclaimed in unison, with a look of horror on their faces.

"Father, never, can't you? Didn't my father listen to what we said just now?" Yang Long said anxiously.

"Please think twice!" The captains all bent down and shouted.

"Why!"

Yang Chengchang sighed, and there seemed to be a few more wrinkles on his face. Yang Cheng said helplessly: "I don't know that it is very dangerous when I go to Xianyang. But as a general of the Qin Dynasty and the head of the Yang family, I have an order today. How can I not respond? Besides, the previous emperor did not go to filial piety at the funeral. I feel very sorry for the previous emperor. At the same time, the new emperor ascended the throne and did not see him. For the sake of emotion and reason, we should go to the Beijing banquet!"

For Yang Cheng, as long as he does not harm the interests of the Qin Dynasty, he can accept any order. Even if he knows that there is a fire pit ahead, he will jump in without hesitation. Perhaps, this is a pedantic person!

Next, everyone continued to beg Yang Cheng not to return to Beijing, but Yang Cheng did not listen at all and drove everyone away directly. Then he wrote a letter to Xiguan, and returned to Xianyang with two hundred cavalry the next day.

After receiving Yang Cheng's letter, Yang Hu just hesitated for a moment and brought a hundred cavalry back to Xianyang.

Once the Yang family three tigers returned to Xianyang, the Empress Dowager's party did not take action, but after winning the birthday banquet, Empress Dowager Min took action.

Since the Yang family controlled 100,000 Yang family troops, Empress Dowager Min did not dare to kill them directly, so she chose to imprison her. On the grounds that Yang Cheng did not attend the funeral of the late emperor, she punished Yang Cheng, Yang Long and Yang Hu at home to face the wall to think about their mistakes. At the same time, she ordered Wei Huai to lead 3,000 Imperial Guards to surround the Yang Mansion.

Secret imprisonment is just the first step. Empress Dowager Min's second step is to send his confidants to the southwest gates to take over defense and control the Yang family army in his own hands. The soldiers of the Yang family army were very resistant to this, but Empress Dowager Min held the lives of the three tigers of the Yang family, and no matter how much the soldiers of the Yang family resisted, they had to accept it.

Five of the six tiger generals of the Qin Dynasty have been lost, the only one is Wei Huai and the empress dowager. Now, Empress Dowager Min is truly controlling the military power of the entire Qin Dynasty, and the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to win the long term.

Three years have passed, July 8, the third year of Shengqin!

Three years have passed, Ying Chang is eight years old. During these three years, the loyal and good ministers in the court died and retired. No one dared to refute a word from Empress Dowager Min, the wind of corruption in the court whistled, and the Qin Dynasty became worse day by day.

Yang Cheng also died of depression a year ago. After Yang Cheng's death, Yang Long and Yang Hu's psychological defense line were instantly destroyed, and his temperament changed drastically. Every night, Xiao Ge drank wine and no longer cared about military and national affairs.

In the Qilin Hall, Ying Chang was wearing a black dragon robe, with his temples hanging down, and a golden hairpin on his head. He sat on the dragon chaise long and looked around his ministers. Behind the dragon chaise long, there was a translucent curtain. In the curtain, Empress Min sat upright inside, and ruled the affairs from behind!

"If you have something to say, you will leave the court without anything to do!" Li Sanfang, the chief supervisor of the palace standing next to Ying Chang, shouted loudly!

"I have something to do to report!"

Tang Zemin, the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works, walked out of the civil servants' queue with a crutch, holding a small bamboo board in his hand. This bamboo board is also called a wat board.

Ying Chang couldn't help feeling relieved when he saw Tang Zemin. The only ministers in the court today are Tang Zemin and Chang Zifei, the Minister of Personnel, are imperial parties. They have repeatedly sarcasticated Empress Dowager Min for being in charge of his rule behind the scenes and using imperial power without hesitation.

It is also a miracle that the two of them can survive to this day. This miracle was also obtained by their careful work. Except for going out once in court, they did not dare to go out at all, nor did they dare to talk to others casually. Doing so is because they were worried that Empress Dowager Min would catch the handle. Over the years, because of saying something that should not be said, there are many ministers who have been cut off their heads, and there are almost every three or four months in the court.

The newly added officials are both treacherous and loyal, but these loyalties will soon become treacherous. In fact, most people have the ambition to help the world and serve the country and bring honor to their ancestors when they enter the government. However, because the court atmosphere is dirty, they gradually lose their minds and go with the flow.

"Play!" Queen Mother Min's voice came from the curtains.

"Report to Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I am old and unable to do my best. I beg your Majesty to allow the old minister to retire and return home!" Tang Zemin bent down gently and bowed.

The Minister of Personnel Chang Zifei glared at him and looked at Tang Zemin with an incredible look on his face, as if he asked again, Old Tang, have you abandoned me like this? What about the promised fight together?

What Chang Zifei didn't know was that Tang Zemin's heart was dead because he could not see hope. People would do their best when they hoped. Tang Zemin's hope was Ying Chang. For three years, he did not see hope in Ying Chang, but only saw a timid Ying Chang.

If he is still young, he will be able to hold on for ten or eight years, but he is old and already sixty, and he has to hold on to a crutch when walking. He can't hold on anymore. It's time to take a rest...

"Is there one more missing?" Ying Chang was indifferent on the surface, but in fact he was in a state of uproar. There were only two loyal ministers left in the court, and now one less, his body suddenly became cold and the situation became more and more dangerous to him.

"oh?"

Queen Mother Min's eyes lit up inside the curtain, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She hated Tang Zemin and Chang Zifei for a day or two. If she hadn't been concerned that they were second-rank ministers, they were quite famous in the Qin Dynasty, and had never shown any mistakes, she would have killed them long ago.

"Since Tang Aiqing is old, the Ai family doesn't force themselves to stay, go!" Empress Dowager Min said indifferently.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Tang Zemin leaned down gently, looked up at Ying Chang deeply. Seeing Ying Chang's cowardly look, Tang Zemin's heart was full of helplessness and pain. He wanted to roar in the sky and scold God for being unfair. There is a saint king in the east, and when will the saint king in the west be?

"Forget it, I'm too impatient!"

Tang Zemin sighed secretly again, feeling that he should not place his hope on an eight-year-old child. He is still so young, what do you know? Maybe, this is all fate. Maybe after the rain, the Qin Dynasty will rise like the sun!

Wei Huai's mouth smeared a curve, looked at Tang Zemin, and then sneered: "Master Tang, be careful when you go all the way!"

Anyone with a discerning eye can hear this sentence full of threat.
