Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 635 A keen sense of smell

If it is said that the previous letter was from Yang Hong's family, that is not enough evidence.

Then the letter that Yang Hong just took out was sealed with the private seal of Ningyuan Houfu, even if Ren Li wanted to deny it, it would not be easy.

After all, some of the Criminal Ministry and Dali Temple are experts in authenticating seals and handwriting, and it is impossible to hide it.

However, Ren Li was not overly flustered.

You know, even though he was born as a general, he has been in the court for so many years. If he discusses something in private and will leave evidence, then he has been plotted against for many times.

In just a short moment, Ren Li's face returned to normal, and he said lightly.

"Why is Marquis Yang so anxious? So what if this letter was written by the old man?"

Since he couldn't deny it, he simply admitted it openly.

The reason why he wanted to deny Yang Xin's letter just now was because the content of their conversation was written in the letter.

But what can Yang Neng's letter prove?
In front of all civil and military officials, Ren Li looked up at Yang Hong, and said without hesitation.

"It is true that the Marquis once invited Yang Neng to visit the residence, but this is just an ordinary exchange."

"It's true that Ningyuanhou's Mansion and Changpinghou's Mansion don't have a deep friendship, but they belong to military officials after all. Your nephew Yang Nengsu has military exploits. He was summoned by His Majesty when he returned to Beijing this time. He is a leader of the new generation in the army."

"Out of admiration, this Marquis invited him over to the mansion for a talk. He wanted to make some friends and support the younger generation. What's the matter, did he offend Marquis Yang?"

At the end of the sentence, it was quite teasing.

After all, Ren Li is not a fool. The most taboo thing about such a big event is to leave things on paper.

Therefore, whether it was with Yang Xin or later with Yang Neng, either he went there or invited someone to come over, in short, it was just word of mouth, and it was impossible to really leave any evidence.

This is also the reason why he is still full of confidence.

But at the same time, he also had some doubts in his heart, what exactly did Yang Hong want to do?
From the very beginning, Yang Hong acted as if he would never die, saying that he was "deserving to be punished" and that he was "the great thief of the country".

However, after being entangled for so long, they just took two private letters that were speculative and couldn't prove anything?
Ren Li subconsciously felt something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what Yang Hong wanted to do, so he could only be more vigilant in his heart, and saw the tricks.

But obviously, Yang Hong was also prepared for Ren Li's reaction, so he asked.

"Since this is the case, can Marquis Ren explain what was discussed when he invited his nephew Yang Neng over to the house?"

At this moment, Ren Li's face finally changed, his heart was shocked, and a guess suddenly appeared.

However, this guess is too bold, but he is not sure.

But the matter had come to this, and the initiative was not in his hands. Looking at Yang Hong, who was obviously hostile, Ren Li pondered for a moment, frowned, and said.

"It's just to encourage the younger generation to serve the court wholeheartedly. Although Yang Hou's nephew made mistakes, he has made outstanding military achievements, is courageous and resourceful, and is a rare talent in the court. Now he is trusted by the court and sent to Ann. Serve under Yuanhou's tent."

"At that time, he was blamed by the court for being implicated by Yang Jun. As a senior, I couldn't bear to see his future ruined by his own family, so I just mentioned something."

When he said this, Ren Li looked serious, staring at Yang Hong opposite him, and remained motionless.

However, upon hearing this remark, all the ministers present were also at a loss.

Even if they don't have such keen political sense, the elders can instinctively sense that there is something in Ren Li's words.

However, what is hidden in the end, I am afraid that only Yang Hong can understand it.

Yang Hong naturally understood.

Standing on top of the altar, Yang Hong looked up at Ren Li, a sharpness flashed in his old eyes, he let out a breath, and said indifferently.

"The way of the Yang family, how to go, don't bother me!"

As he spoke, another envelope appeared in Yang Hong's hand.

This time, he didn't open it, but handed it directly to the servant, and brought it to the imperial court, then leaned over and said.

"Your Majesty, this is the letter of self-report that my nephew Yang Neng sent to His Majesty before he left the capital. It stated that Marquis Ren invited him to visit the mansion, not simply to encourage the younger generation, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Ren Li at the side darkened his face and shouted sharply.

"Yang Hong!"

"Ning Yuanhou, you are presumptuous!"

The former sentence was drunk by Ren Li, but the latter sentence sounded from the civil servant's side, and the target aimed at was Ren Li.

Everyone followed the prestige and saw Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu, stepping forward, his face sinking like water, and said.

"Your Majesty, I impeached Marquis Renli of Ning Yuan, for being disrespectful in front of the emperor, interfering with the performance, not looking at the emperor, and disturbing the hearing of the saints, please punish him strictly."

The atmosphere in front of Fengtian Gate suddenly became a little stagnant, and the eyes of countless courtiers all fell on Ren Li.

At the same time, they also vaguely sensed that the critical moment might be approaching.

You know, just now Yang Hong was not talking to Ren Li, but was reporting to the emperor.

In this case, the only one who can interrupt Yang Hong is the Son of Heaven. This is the right rule.

Ren Li has been in court for a long time, so it is impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.

But he still yelled!

This was definitely not a momentary gaffe of impatience. I'm afraid it was what Yang Hong was about to say next that really touched on something that made Ren Li have to speak up to stop him even if he was so disrespectful.

Following Chen Yi's departure, two more people came out of the rank of civil servants, and they were Yu Qian from the Ministry of War and Wang Wen from the Ministry of Officials.

At this moment, it is naturally impossible for them to have other attitudes.

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Ningyuan obstructed the right, and the king roared, there must be something inside, and it should be investigated carefully, and should not be ignored."

Wang Wen was even more direct, saying: "Your Majesty's report has his own custom. Ning Yuanhou has been in the court for a long time, so he should be familiar with the etiquette system. If this kind of behavior is not disrespectful to His Majesty, it must be a ghost in his heart. Please investigate carefully!"

As soon as these two came forward, Xunqi Wuchen finally couldn't sit still.

Jiao Jing was the first to react, took a step forward, and said.

"Your Majesty, I think that being a Marquis is just a momentary gaffe, an unintentional mistake, so there is no need to be too strict."

"Furthermore, the court discussed the matter of the military colonization today. Marquis Changping himself said that he would impeach Marquis Ningyuan. However, so far at the court meeting, he has only produced a few family letters and so-called self-reported letters. It is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the false, so as to attack the important officials of the court. , It is actually deliberately disrupting the court meeting."

"Your Majesty, please take the same responsibility for the two of them, and order them to return to the government for self-examination, so as to warn all officials, civil and military, not to disrupt the court meeting and misuse the government affairs of the court because of their own selfishness."

Immediately behind Jiao Jing was Ning Yangbo and Chen Mao.

Since the clan case last year, this Uncle Ningyang has been silent in the court for a long time, but this time, he followed Jiao Jing without hesitation, and reported.

"Your Majesty, my ministers seconded the proposal. Today's court discussion was originally about military settlements. However, due to the impeachment of Marquis Changping, it has been a waste of time to get to the point."

"No matter what disputes the two Marquises have, they should not lose their composure at the court meeting."

"Your Majesty, I ask you to order the two of you to return to the government for self-examination. The matter of impeachment can be investigated in detail by the Secretary before repeating it."
