Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 640 Marquis Ren Can Finally Talk

Finally, see you in the picture!
Although there had been rumors in the court, and although the courtiers had seen Yang Hong's performance today, they had already guessed in their hearts, but when Yang Hong first said that Yuqian might be assassinated in Xuanfu, all the courtiers were still in an uproar.

However, after Yang Hong really said Ren Li's name, the court became quiet instead.

The whistling wind was blowing, and it was particularly harsh on Dan Chi.

Sometimes silence is more powerful than noise!

As Yang Hong's voice fell, countless eyes undisguisedly shot at Ren Li next to Dan Chi, and there was a heavy pressure in the silence.

Assassinating important court officials is one of the bottom lines of the entire court.

Not only for civil servants, but also for honorable military officials, and even, for them, they value this matter even more.

After all, what Xungui values ​​is inheritance. If assassination is frequently used, the whole family will be difficult to stabilize, let alone a long-standing inheritance.

Therefore, after Yang Hong exposed this matter, Wen Chen looked at Ren Li with unkind eyes.

However, on the side of the honorable military minister, while being shocked, the atmosphere also gradually changed.

This change is silent, but it is easy to feel it.

Standing in the class of military officials, Jiao Jing looked around, as expected, the complexions of many of the honorable officials sank in unison.

Seeing this situation, Jiao Jing sighed in his heart, and realized that this court discussion might really depend on Ren Li himself.

The nobles are willing to join Ren Li in opposing the rectification of the military settlements, but there are some bottom lines that cannot be touched.

At the same time, he finally understood why Ren Li insisted on stopping the court discussion.

Or, to be more precise, the reason why Ren Li wanted to coerce so many honored ministers into attacking the court.

In fact, it is to prevent this matter from being revealed.

If the memorial to rectify the military colony fails to pass the court meeting, then this matter will naturally be buried.

Even if it was the worst result, it was still discovered, but there was this fierce collision in the court meeting.

Ren Li is no longer just Ren Li himself, but represents the entire Xungui Group.

With the power of many mansions, he can win more bargaining chips for himself.

It's a pity... there is no chance now!
These nobles would rather let the Ministry of War pass the memorial to rectify the army, and would not tolerate a person who violated the bottom line.

In other words, until Ren Li completely cleansed himself of his suspicions, it was impossible for him to receive any help and support from the ministers.

So, can Ren Li clear his suspicion?
Although the emperor had already said that he was not allowed to interrupt Yang Hong at will, after all, it was a confrontation between the two sides, and there was no reason to only listen to what one family said.

It is impossible not to give Ren Li a chance to refute when the matter has developed to this point.

Therefore, after Yang Hong finished speaking, the emperor turned to Ren Li and asked.

"Marquis Ningyuan, Marquis Changping said that you tried to send someone to assassinate Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War. What's your excuse for this matter?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Marquis Ren was naturally aware of his situation.

However, he was still able to hold on, stepped forward, and cupped his hands.

"Return to Your Majesty, I have nothing to defend, because this is a bunch of nonsense!"

Standing in the middle of Dan Chi, Ren Li turned around and looked at Yang Hong coldly, his eyes were full of anger, but his voice was still calm, said.

"Yang Hong, I don't know why you are so aggressive. You regard me as an enemy of life and death, and you use such crimes to plant and frame him. However, the emperor is wise and the eyes of all officials are shining. I will never let a villain like you proud."

Saying this is tantamount to tearing your face apart.

Before that, although Ren Li also confronted Yang Hong tit for tat, but because he didn't know Yang Hong's real thoughts, there was still some leeway after all.

However, when things developed to this point, no matter what Yang Hong's original thoughts were, the two of them were truly immortal.

That being the case, there is no need to look forward and backward when doing things.

In front of all the ministers, Ren Li snorted coldly and said.

"Marquis Changping, since you said you were instigated by this Marquis, what is the evidence?"

"The so-called witness statement and portrait?"

"It's ridiculous, let alone this Marquis, the so-called witnesses are all in the hands of your nephew Yang Xin from the beginning to the end. His testimony is somewhat credible, even if your nephew is true. Submit it, so what does that mean?"

"The Xuan Mansion is at the border, the captives are unpredictable, and their methods are endless. How difficult is it to buy one or two armies and not accept them at night?"

"What if the so-called witness is just a dead man who wants to use his life to stir up disputes in the court?"

"What's more, although the Marquis used to guard Gansu, he has already resigned and returned to the capital. Could it be said that these people are from the Gansu Army, so it can be proved that they were dispatched by the Marquis?
"Yu Shaobao's name is known all over the world. There are as many people who have seen him as the crucian carp crossing the river. How difficult is it to get a portrait? How can I prove that it was given by me?"

It has to be said that Ren Li is not easy to be with.

Especially in the face of such a matter of life and death, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Although there was nothing to refute what he said, but in a short period of time, several flaws were found, and the evidence presented by Yang Hong was shaky.

However, this is indeed because the chain of evidence presented by Yang Hong is not complete.

As Ren Li said, so far, the evidence Yang Hong has produced is nothing more than a statement from a witness.

No one can guarantee the authenticity of this confession. After all, this testimony comes from Yang Xin.

To be fair, if the Marquis of Changping had planned to frame Ren Li long ago in order to escape.

Well, it is not impossible that this testimony, and even that witness, were all concocted by Yang Xin.

It should be said that starting from this point, if Ren Lisi insisted on holding on, it is not impossible to turn Yang Hong to death.

but……

Among the civil servants, Chen Yi and other ministers looked at each other, and they all saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

If Ren Li just wanted to refute Yang Hong, he would be able to muddy the water by grabbing the previous one.

But why did he skip Yang Xin and emphasize the latter?
However, before they figured out the key point, Ren Li turned around again, bowed down to the imperial steps, and said.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that secretly murdering the imperial court officials is a serious crime of contempt for the imperial court, which is tantamount to treason. How would you dare to risk your life to do such a rebellious thing?"

"As Yu Shaobao said, the thieves on the border are ulterior motives, and from time to time there are secret operations that infiltrate the Ming Dynasty to create chaos. If such a serious crime can be imposed on a marquis because of the confession of a so-called witness, the court will definitely be in chaos."

"What's more, as an honorable minister of the imperial court, if you murder the court ministers just because of different political opinions, wouldn't you live up to His Majesty's grace and spread the word, and wouldn't it make the common people regard all the court officials as mere scumbags?"

"Your Majesty dares to swear with his life that the assassination that Marquis Changping said just now is a false accusation. Your Majesty, please don't be fooled by traitors!"
