Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 633 Last Stand?
Yang Hong has not gone to court for a long time.

Probably after the Supreme Emperor offered sacrifices to the Xuanfu, this veteran of many battles fell ill when he returned to the capital.

Later, the news that Yuqian was secretly investigating the military camps on the border slowly spread, and various rumors emerged from the ruling and opposition parties.

Some said that Yang Hong was guilty and did not dare to go to court, some said that Yang Hong was afraid of Yu Qian and waited to die in the mansion, and some said that Yang Hong was accumulating strength and waiting for a counterattack.

Regarding these rumors, Yang Hong ignored them at all, and even later, even the guests who visited the house disappeared, and handed them over to his son to take care of them.

As for the court meeting, they asked for leave again and again, and the number of times they came was only a handful.

Now, Yang Jun is in exile, Yang Neng is out of Beijing, and the memorial to the Ministry of War to rectify the army has been presented to the court. Is this Marquis of Changping finally unable to hold back?
As a rule, at the court meeting, the duke ranks at the head of the civil and military class, the second son-in-law, and the second uncle, from the first rank to the next, according to the rank, Wen Dong Wu Xi, and so on.

However, due to the special nature of titles, military merits are not awarded to those who are not members of the community, so basically, the first class on the civilian side is the ministers of the Seven Ministers, while the first class on the military minister's side is the honorable ministers.

Among the four princes in the capital, the British Duke is still young, the Duke of Cheng is in vain, and the Duke of Ding passed away the year before last, and his son has not yet taken the title. Therefore, the only one who really stands in the court is Li Xian, the Duke of Feng.

Therefore, under the premise that Li Xian had already been listed, Yang Hong, the Marquis of Changping, was already in the first class. As soon as he raised his voice, he attracted the attention of countless people.

Yang Hong's complexion looked not very good, maybe because he was really lingering and sick for a long time, or maybe it was because there were so many rumors during this period, and he was exhausted physically and mentally.

In short, this veteran who has fought many battles, looks a bit stooped at the moment, and he does not have the majesty when guarding the Xuanfu, nor the high-spirited spirit when he returned to Beijing to receive the title.

As the voice fell, Yang Hong, under the gaze of everyone, moved step by step, from the middle of the court to the center of Danchi step by step.

The wind and the clouds are moving, the banners are flying, under the yellow sky, the emperor Yuyin, who lives in the ninth layer, is paying attention, and the waves are calm.

"Yang Hong, Marquis of Changping, what's the matter?"

"I impeach Ningyuan Marquis Renli, corrupt without merit, pretend to be meritorious and lose the war, lose military land without authorization, form a party for personal gain, deceive the court, assassinate ministers, act boldly, disregard the grace of God, the crime is to be punished!"

Yang Hong bowed to the ground, his voice was old, but it sounded like metal and iron.

On the Danchi, Yang Hong held the melody in his hands and raised it high above the top. His back, which was slightly curved, suddenly straightened.

With just this simple action, everyone who watched him felt a chill in their hearts.

When a tiger descends from the mountain, it must choose someone to eat!

The servant walked down the imperial steps, took the playbook from Yang Hong, and brought it to the imperial court. However, the emperor did not open it, but asked calmly.

"Marquis Changping, today's court meeting is for the Ministry of War to rectify the army. You want to impeach Marquis Ningyuan Renli, but because he objected to it just now?"

It has to be said that the emperor's reaction was once again beyond everyone's expectations.

Yang Hong will make some moves in this court meeting, which is something that most of the ministers present can guess.

This time to rectify the army, there are various signs that the Changping Hou Mansion has already fallen into the center of the storm.

Whether it is trying to resist, or pleading guilty to seek mercy, the Yang family must not be silent.

Therefore, the courtiers were not surprised by Yang Hong's appearance.

What's more, although there was a lot of information about what Yang Hong just said, the courtiers were slightly prepared, and although it was still difficult to accept, it was expected after all.

His mind turned quickly, and he immediately understood that Yang Hong wanted to use Ren Li as a shield in exchange for the safety of his family.

This is not something difficult to think of. The ruling and opposition parties have long guessed about it, but no one is sure who the Yang family will pull out.

Now, of course it is determined.

Hou Renli of Ningyuan has military exploits, seniority, power, and enough weight. If he can be brought down, the Yang family might really be able to escape.

But what does Son of Heaven really mean?
Listening to this tone, are you dissatisfied with Yang Hong's impeachment of Ren Li?

The ministers were full of thoughts, but Yang Hong didn't show any panic. He met the eyes of everyone present and nodded slightly with a calm voice.

"Return to Your Majesty, yes!"

When the voice fell, even if it was at the court meeting, there was a censor who corrected the instrument, and the officials present couldn't help but set off a low voice of discussion.

Yang Hong, to admit it like that?
However, what happened next was even stranger.

As we all know, Lord Ren Hou is one of the best figures among today's military officials, whether it is power, military exploits, or status and prestige.

Not only has the position of marquis, but also is in charge of the military governor's mansion, and also has good friends with various nobles.

The courtiers still vividly remember the last time that Lord Ren and the British government beat the Dengwen drum together.

So under normal circumstances, in this situation, other nobles should have come forward to help Lord Ren.

But that's where the blame lies!
From the moment when Lord Ren Hou came forward to oppose the rectification of the army, to now that he was impeached by Yang Hong, there was no reaction from the honorable military ministers.

There was a moment of silence in the field again, and the emperor seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect Yang Hong to admit it so straightforwardly. He pressed his hand lightly on the memorabilia at hand, and the emperor asked.

"So, Marquis Changping means that you impeached Marquis Ningyuan because you attacked the courtiers for your own selfishness?"

There is no sadness or joy in such a tone, so people can't understand what it means.

Faced with the emperor's question, Yang Hong shook his head this time and said.

"Return to Your Majesty, those who criticize courtiers for their own selfishness are not ministers, but Marquis Renli of Ningyuan!"

As he spoke, the veteran seemed to have made up his mind, he raised his head slightly, his cloudy eyes flickered, and said.

"Your Majesty, I know that I am guilty. I have been in Xuanfu for many years. I have committed crimes such as occupying military land, privately reclaiming civilian land, and embezzling soldiers. This time the Ministry of War is rectifying the army, I have already written down what I have done for several years. I just wait for it to be presented to the imperial court today, and I am willing to be punished."

"However, I know that there are many people who are more involved than my ministers in the matter of the military settlement in the court. It is not uncommon for those who want to obstruct the court's affairs because of their own selfishness. Therefore, I risked my life to play today. The imperial court punishes the thieves!"

"I am willing to be dealt with by the court for my crimes. However, Hou Renli of Ningyuan has committed many crimes. There is no doubt that today the court is discussing to rectify the army. Ren Li has premeditated, not out of public interest, but to cover up crimes."

"The old minister, please Your Majesty, the prospective minister will confront the court and make the crime of this thief public to the public, so as to secure the hearts of the people!"

As he spoke, a new book of memorials suddenly appeared in Yang Hong's hand, and he held it high above his head, with a few words written on it.

"Chen Changping Hou Yang Hong Zou Xuan Mansion Over the Years The Mistakes Accumulated by the Army Tunnels From Chen Shu"!
As the servant walked down the imperial steps again and presented this memorandum to the imperial court, all the officials present looked at Yang Hong who was kneeling on the ground, and the same thought came to their minds by coincidence.

This Marquis of Changping, isn't he crazy?
