Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 638 Hard-won opportunity

There was another slight commotion among Dan Chi, but this time the source came from among the honorable military officials.

The words of Ning Yang Bo Chen Mao were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing waves to stir up.

Ren Li knelt where he was, and suddenly looked up at Chen Mao, but the other party didn't give him any response.

So, he turned his body sideways, and his eyes fell on Zhang Wei and Jiao Jing, but they happened to meet each other and looked towards him.

The eyes of the three met in the air, Ren Li's body stiffened for a while, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden.

Lowering his head, Ren Li cupped his hands and gritted his teeth.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have never discussed with anyone privately the memorials of the Ministry of War to rectify the military settlements. Naturally, it is even more impossible to link up with nobles and agitate the frontier troops as Yang Nengshu said in order to obstruct court discussions."

"The minister's objection today is really out of public interest. As for the accusation made by the Marquis of Changping and his nephew Yang Neng, it is actually a false accusation. Your Majesty's holy candle illuminates and judges thousands of miles. You must not listen to slander."

After the words fell, many ministers present suddenly realized something in their hearts.

So, is this where the joint is?

From Yang Xin's family letter to Yang Neng's self-report, Yang Hong was trying to force Ren Li to admit one thing.

That is, the Marquis of Ningyuan knew about the memorial to rectify the military settlements, and he made preparations early on, and secretly connected with him to stop the court discussion.

Everyone thought that these two letters were ironclad evidence that Yang Hong had done to bring down Ning Yuanhou, but in fact, what Yang Hong wanted to achieve might just be...

"In this way, the Marquis Ren opposed the rectification of the military settlements, and he didn't communicate with anyone in advance, and he didn't use any other means except to speak out at today's court meeting, right?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yang Hong pressed on every step of the way without giving way.

Ren Li's face was already blackened, but by now, he had no other choice.

Yang Neng's self-declaration has already pushed him to a dead end.

Although the fact is indeed the case, he must not admit it!
Xungui, please oppose the rectification of the army, which is the turbulent discussion of the court and the popular will.

However, if it is confirmed that there are people behind this private collusion, it is to intimidate the court and take credit for pride.

Moreover, it just so happened that the last deputy censor with the surname Luo who did this was sentenced to be beheaded just now.

What's more...

Ren Li glanced at the restless ministers, and couldn't help but sighed again.

With this mess, even if he wanted to continue, other people probably wouldn't want to bear such guilt with him.

The reason why these honorable families followed him to oppose the rectification of the military settlements was to protect their own interests, not to lose their titles.

"Your Majesty understands that I don't know why Yang Neng made false statements to trap me, but what I said is the truth. Since it is a matter of court, I should express my views in the court proceedings openly and aboveboard, and there is no such thing as private collusion!"

When Ren Li's voice fell, I don't know if it was an illusion, but the military officials on the side all seemed to be relieved.

Immediately afterwards, a group of honorable officials stood up one after another and said.

"Your Majesty, what Marquis Ren said is very true. As ministers of the court, if you have different opinions, you should report it before the emperor, and you will never collude in private."

"That's right, Your Majesty, don't listen to slanderous rumors. The government affairs of the court have their own opinions. According to my ministers, it must be that the Marquis of Changping and the Marquis of Ningyuan have personal grievances. That's why the court is now arguing."

"Your Majesty, by now, the truth has become clear. The Marquis of Changping has no evidence to accuse important officials of the court. He should be punished. Your Majesty, please punish him!"

With Ren Li's statement, the other ministers, no matter what they think in their hearts, must immediately stand up and disregard the relationship.

However, amidst all the chatter, the direction of the wind changed slightly again.

Originally, each family was trying to get rid of themselves, but I don't know who started, but they started to get involved in the dispute between Yang Hong and Ren Li again.

So, Yang Hong, who had been standing still, his face darkened, and he said.

"Everyone, do you mean that this Marquis used the reputation and future of his two younger generations to slander Marquis Ren?"

"Personal grievances? What a big personal grievance, is it worth betting on it?"

Yang Hong is a veteran in the battlefield for many years. At this moment, his beard and hair are full, his eyes are full of anger, and his whole body is full of momentum. It doesn't look like he has been lingering on a sick bed for a long time.

Such power and influence immediately made a group of military officials shut up.

At the same time, on the civil servant's side, there was a low voice of discussion instead.

Compared with the military officials who roll on the battlefield and the honored officials who rely on the glory of their ancestors, the ministers who can be ranked in the court have always experienced some ups and downs in the world.

Therefore, for them, it is a habit to think more about everything.

It should be said that until now, the two pieces of evidence that Yang Hong has presented are indeed not sufficient.

Yang Xin's letter was a family letter, so it was not difficult to forge. Yang Neng's letter was genuine, but it could only prove that Ren Li had invited Yang Neng to visit the mansion, but what he was talking about specifically depended on Yang Neng's letter. The self-report letter cannot be used as ironclad evidence.

Therefore, in the face of this self-report, Ren Li can say without hesitation that it is a frame-up and a deliberate murder.

Civil and military ministers, although they have different positions, they also have right and wrong.

Under such circumstances, if the honorable military officials headed by Ren Li want to question Master Yang Hongxing, these civil servants may not necessarily stop them.

However, Yang Hong's words reminded them!

That's right, for no reason, is Yang Hong crazy, taking the fame and future of his two most valued juniors to frame Ren Li?
You know, even if the Changping Marquis Mansion falls, Yang Neng and Yang Xin can at least survive.

Especially Yang Neng, who had just been sent to guard Guangxi.

The imperial court did not have a rule of changing orders from day to day, unless the Yang family committed a catastrophe, otherwise, seizing the title and being imprisoned would be the best.

Why is it necessary for Yang Hong to use his two most valued juniors to frame these two pieces of evidence that can be easily denied with just a red mouth and white teeth?
Is this veteran of many battles at the end of the road, or is he dizzy?

I'm afraid, it's not!
Yang Hong is not a fool, he made such a big commotion, even as he said, he gambled on the reputation and future of the two juniors, with the purpose of bringing down Ren Li and keeping the Yang family.

If he can't do this, then everything he has done before is as ridiculous as a clown.

The significance of these two letters is to seal off Ren Li's retreat and break his connection with other honorable families.

In other words, at least at this court meeting, after these two letters are presented, other honorable families who want to support Ren Li will become restrained. charges.

It also means that what Yang Hong really has to face now is no longer the Wuchen Group headed by Ren Li, but an independent Ningyuan Hou Mansion!
This opportunity is not easy to find. Once this court meeting is over, this influence will disappear.

Therefore, if you really want to bring down Ren Li, you must do it all in one battle!
Perhaps, this is the reason why Yang Hong put on a posture of not fearing death and not dying from the very beginning.

He already has no way out!
So, what is the killer move hidden behind these two letters?

Amidst the murmured discussions, Chen Yi glanced at Yu Qian, and the two looked at each other, as if they thought of something at the same time.

So, Chen Yi stepped out of the line again, said.

"Your Majesty, the impeachment of the Marquis of Ningyuan by the Marquis of Changping is complicated. It is difficult to see the truth only by the two confronting each other. Therefore, I have the courage to ask your Majesty to publish the impeachment memorial written by the Marquis of Changping to help the civil and military officials to discern the truth!"
