Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 637 Defeat
On the high imperial steps, Zhu Qiyu put his hand on Yang Neng's self-reporting letter, his eyes were calm.

As most people guessed, the reason why the situation of this court meeting has developed to the present situation is because of this letter in his hand.

Looking up at the direction of the Yang Mansion outside the palace gate, Zhu Qiyu suddenly wanted to meet the young man who is now in the Yang Mansion in person.

Such courage and daring to put them to death and then to be born again, is really very rare!

However, sometimes, when the water is full, it will overflow, and it is not a good thing to go too far.

Shaking his head, Zhu Qiyu withdrew his thoughts, and fell on the civil and military officials below who had their own thoughts.

Feeling the atmosphere full of gunpowder smoke on both sides, Zhu Qiyu didn't directly speak to deal with it, but tapped the self-report under his palm lightly, and said.

"The self-report submitted by Yang Neng only wrote one thing."

The yellow flag fluttered and fluttered in the wind.

Looking from the imperial steps, all the ministers present, whether civil or military, held their breath at this moment, staring at the letter on the emperor's case with piercing eyes.

However, if you look closely, you can still tell the difference between the two.

On the civil servant's side, apart from nervousness, there was more anticipation, but on the contrary, several people on Xungui's side, such as Ren Li, Jiao Jing, Zhang Wei, etc., all clenched their fists in their sleeves .

Now the first month has not yet passed, and it is still the time of cold spring, but the foreheads of these people are already faintly sweating.

In the silence where a pin drop could be heard, Zhu Qiyu continued to speak, his voice was cold with a hint of sternness.

"Yang Neng Zichen was invited to visit Ningyuan Hou's mansion before the New Year's Eve, and had a private conversation with Ningyuan Hou Renli for an hour.

"According to this autograph, at that time, Hou Renli of Ningyuan claimed that the Ministry of War had already obtained the evidence of the Yang family's invasion and occupation of military settlements on the border for many years, and planned to question the Yang family after the new year."

"In addition, Ren Li also said that as long as Yang Neng can persuade Yang Hong, he is willing to contact the relatives of various families in the capital, and at the same time encourage the generals in the army to unite on the court discussion and oppose the Ministry of War's memorial to rectify the army!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a slight commotion on Danchi.

First of all, on the side of the honorable military officials, many people lowered their heads with some guilt, and some even retreated and began to retreat quietly.

At the same time, there was a burst of discussion on the side of the civil servants, and Yu Qian and other important officials even looked at each other, seeing the excitement in each other's eyes in unison.

However, among the somewhat disorganized honorable military officials, the reaction of Ren Li, Jiao Jing and others was to loosen their clenched fists.

"Snapped!"

Above the imperial steps, the whip sounded again, and the officials immediately fell silent.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was still pressing his hand on the self-reporting letter, his eyes were lowered, and he fell on Yang Hong, who was at the center of the storm, and asked.

"Marquis Changping, I just mentioned it, but is it the truth?"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, everyone looked at Yang Hong, so they realized that the old Hou Ye who had attacked Ren Li without hesitation since the court meeting, looked a little hesitant for the first time. .

However, only for a moment, Yang Hong nodded and bowed his head.

"Your Majesty understands that this booklet is written by my nephew himself. Every word and every sentence mentioned above is the truth, and I dare not deceive the truth at all."

These words sound a bit awkward, but at this time, all the ministers present were not in the mood to pursue this little language problem.

Countless censors swarmed up, said.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Renli of Ningyuan disregarded the government, conspired to collude, and colluded with the inside and outside for his own selfishness. This crime is punishable. Your Majesty, please punish him severely!"

"My minister impeached Ningyuan Marquis Renli, entangled in private, obstructed the great government, talked sweetly, and acted like a traitor. This generation of thieves stands above the court, and they are really great thieves of the country."

"Your Majesty, please punish Hou Renli of Ning Yuan severely, so as to make an example to others!"

"The minister agrees..."

If we talk about just now, it was a collision between high-level officials.

Then, with the announcement of Yang Neng's self-declaration, the object of the conflict has been moved down to ordinary officials.

The civil servants gave full play to their advantages of being numerous and powerful, and one by one the green-robed censors came forward, and their righteous words were deafening.

Above Danchi, there was a turmoil of people, and the voice of impeachment and Ren Li was endless.

However, in the face of such strong pressure, Ren Li himself calmed down, showing no signs of nervousness.

Finally, the crisp sound of the imperial whip sounded again, and Dan Chi became quiet, and the Emperor Yuyin asked, saying.

"Ning Yuanhou, how do you refute Yang Neng's accusation?"

Thus, Ren Li finally raised his head, clasped his hands and spoke in a resounding voice, resolutely.

"Your Majesty, this so-called self-report is all nonsense and deliberately framed. I have never mentioned any memorials to Yang Neng to rectify the army, let alone..."

In the first half of the sentence, Marquis Ren spoke righteously, but only halfway through, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked at Yang Hong in disbelief, with deep anger in his eyes.

However, at this time, Emperor Yuyin has followed closely.

"What's more impossible?"

In a short moment, the sweat dripped from Ren Li's forehead, and his two gray eyebrows were tightly knit together, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Naturally, the other civil servants present would not let go of such a good opportunity, and Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu, spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Ningyuan Hou Renli for hesitation and negligence. Today's court meeting, Ningyuan Hou was mad and rebellious. He first stopped Changping Hou's report. Now His Majesty interrogates him personally, but he still stubbornly resists and deliberately refuses to answer. In fact, he despises the emperor. , Dishonored in front of the imperial court."

"If such behavior is not severely punished, the court's discipline will be difficult to restore, and the officials will be uneasy. Please learn from your majesty!"

So, following his own boss, countless censors waved their flags and shouted, adding insult to injury, and on top of Dan Chi, there was another burst of condemnation against Ren Li.

In desperation, the ceremonial officer above the imperial steps had no choice but to blow his whip again to manage to control the situation.

At the same time, the emperor's tone became visibly colder, and he suppressed it with a heavy aura.

"Ning Yuanhou, I asked you a question, why didn't you answer?"

Beads of sweat rolled down Ren Li's forehead and landed on the ground. He finally opened his mouth, but he still stuttered and couldn't say anything.

"Return to Your Majesty, minister... minister..."

At this moment, among the silent ministers in Danji, someone suddenly spoke and said.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what Ning Yuanhou and Yang Neng talked about in the mansion, but as far as I am concerned, I have never had the idea of ​​obstructing the implementation of the imperial court's great policies, and I will not secretly communicate with the ministers of the court, please Your Majesty. Mingjian."

Everyone followed the prestige and saw that the person who spoke was none other than Ning Yang Bo Chen Mao who had just stood up to support Ren Li.

At this moment, Chen Mao lowered his head and couldn't see clearly.

However, his tone was very firm, without the slightest hesitation...
