Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 643 What to do, No. 1

Regarding Yang Hong's guilt, Zhu Qiyu did not speak directly, but pondered for a moment, turned to Yu Qian who was at the side, and asked.

"The Ministry of War is in charge of the rectification of the army. Yu Qing thinks, how should I deal with the Marquis of Changping?"

Hearing this sentence, for some reason, the bosses below were inexplicably relieved.

It's not because of Yang Hong, but even they didn't realize it. In fact, just now, the Emperor Lei Ting sent Ren Li to prison, which made everyone fearful.

This fear did not come from the emperor's determination, but from the emperor's sudden change.

In this world, there is actually only one thing that scares people the most, and that is the unknown!
They are not afraid that the emperor will control the overall situation, and they are not afraid of the emperor's cruel methods, but they are afraid that they know nothing about the emperor, and that all their previous understanding of the emperor is wrong.

This fear of the unknown is the scariest thing!

Fortunately, what the emperor said just now made the boss finally regain some familiarity.

However, Yu Qian was obviously not included among these people. After hearing the emperor's question, he stepped forward steadily and cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty, in accordance with the regulations drawn up by the Ministry of War, during the process of clearing the land, those who voluntarily and truthfully report the number of acres can be given a lighter punishment depending on the situation. Those who voluntarily donate the hidden acres and those who sincerely repent, if they have not committed a major crime, can be exempted from punishment as appropriate. "

"I don't know what is the specific situation of the crime of occupying the army and privately reclaiming the people's land that the Marquis of Changping said, but since the Marquis of Changping is willing to cooperate with the court and take the initiative to make up for the acres of land, I think that he can be exempted from punishment as appropriate to show His Majesty's magnanimity and holiness. .”

These remarks were quite satisfactory, and did not surprise the courtiers.

In fact, since the emperor asked Yu Qian, it meant that he wanted to let the Yang family go.

After all, Yu Qian had cryptically interceded for Yang Xin just before he spoke.

At this moment, Yang Hong has an attitude of accepting punishment and accepting punishment. No matter whether it is emotional or reasonable, it is impossible for Yu Qian to pursue the punishment too much.

Of course, another important reason is that Ren Li has already been arrested and sent to prison.

Although he was not arrested because of the military settlement, he was so fiercely opposed to the imperial court's rectification of the military settlement on the front foot, and then entered the imperial prison. For the Ministry of War, it has already had a deterrent effect.

Therefore, Yang Hong can naturally escape.

Sure enough, after Yu Qian's voice fell, the emperor nodded slightly and said.

"The imperial court's rectification of the army is firstly to restore the law of the ancestors and clarify the legal principles; secondly, it is to enforce the discipline of the army and protect the frontier army with abundant combat power; thirdly, it is to relieve the urgent financial situation of the imperial court. .”

"Purging the rules and regulations, and severely punishing those who dared to occupy the army, is also to punish the past and the future, and correct the people who come later. If you stick to this, it will chill the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals, which is not what I want."

"Although the Marquis of Changping committed crimes, he spent his whole life as a soldier and fought for the country. After the civil war, he stuck to the Xuanfu and made contributions to the country. Although the merits and demerits cannot be offset, the legal principles are nothing more than human feelings."

"Department of punishment?"

Hearing that he was called again, Old Shangshu Jin stepped forward in pain and joy, and said.

"The minister is here."

"The case of the Marquis of Changping's occupation of the military settlement is also handled by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs in conjunction with the Ministry of War. The laws of the country are above all, and no desecration is allowed. The Ministry of Criminal Justice should investigate this case in a fair and thorough manner."

"The family of the Yang family has made hairpin tassels from generation to generation. They have made great achievements in hundreds of battles in the country, and their lintel titles must not be damaged because of this. Other than that, the others should be punished, and the Ministry of Punishment should follow the law."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the minister obeys the order. The Ministry of Punishment will do its best to try the case impartially."

Old Shangshu Jin nodded and said yes, making it clear.

The emperor already understood what he said, he should be punished, he should be punished, there is no need to worry about it, but the bottom line is to retain the title of Marquis of Changping.

Of course, under this premise, if no serious crime was committed, the lives of the Yang family should not be in serious danger.

It's just that after this battle, the Yang family is bound to bleed severely, and it's not certain that the official careers of Yang Xin, Yang Neng and others will also be affected.

But, no matter what, the two most important things, the title and life, are preserved!
For the honorable family, money and property are of course important. These are not only the heritage of a family, but also essential for dealing with people.

However, no matter how important these things are, they are nothing compared to titles.

As long as the title is still there, then, as time goes by, there will always be a chance for a comeback.

Don't you see, a certain duke of the Feng Kingdom has been obsessed with being a little transparent all his life, and when he is 70 years old, has he somehow become a duke?
What's more, after this battle, no one would dare to underestimate Yang Hong even if the Marquis of Changping was so poor.

This veteran of many battles has proved by facts that not only can he fight on the battlefield, but he also has the strength to be brave and fearless in the court.

Anyone who wants to embarrass the Marquis of Changping must first consider whether he has the same weight as the Marquis of Ningyuan!
Therefore, for the Yang family this time, the court meeting was truly a blessing in disguise, and a blessing in disguise.

After this incident, although for a short period of time, the Yang Mansion might be silent, but in the long run, it really began to establish the foundation of the aristocratic family.

At the same time, Dan Chi finally got the emperor's promise, and Yang Hong never said anything about the seriousness of his sins.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live."

As a result, the courtiers had a new understanding of the Marquis of Changping.

This old guy is not only shameless, but also shameless!
However, the more such a person, the more he should not be messed with.

Silently decided in his heart, after this matter is over, he must establish a good relationship with the Yang family, and the elders heard the voice of the emperor from above the imperial steps again.

"The affairs of the Marquis of Changping and the Marquis of Ningyuan are in charge of the three divisions. Today's court discussion is still about the rectification of the army. The regulations issued by the Ministry of War, do you feel that there is still something that needs to be discussed and revised?"

In the final analysis, whether it is the matter of Yang Hong or Ren Li, it is essentially a confrontation around the rectification of the army.

The matter between the two of them came to an end, so the last thing left, of course, is the core, the regulations of the Ministry of War for rectifying the military settlements.

However, the matter has come to this point, the situation has long been clear, and only the last step is left.

Yu Qian, as Minister of the Ministry of War, presided over the drafting of the rules and regulations, so it was inconvenient for him to speak, but he never returned to the class, but still stood in the middle of Danji.

So, it was almost the same as the scene at the beginning of the court discussion. Wenchen Liezhong, Chen Yi, Wang Wen, Jin Lian, Wang Ao, Yu Shiyue and others stepped forward, came behind Yu Qian, and cupped their hands.

"Your Majesty has clearly learned that the regulations drafted by the Ministry of War are very sound. Even if there are inadequacies, they can be adjusted during implementation. The ministers have no objections. Your Majesty please make a decision."

At the same time, on the side of the noble military minister, Feng Guogong Li Xian finally exerted his own strength.

I saw his old man stepping forward and said.

"Your Majesty, I have no objection. The imperial court's rectification of the army is a matter of benefit to the country and the people. Although I am old, I am willing to do my best."

"Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty. Over the years, although Duke Feng's mansion is in the capital, he has also purchased a lot of land on the border. When these land were purchased, they were private land, but later it was found out that they were daring people. Sell ​​it privately."

"Every time I think about this matter, I feel ashamed. Now that the imperial court wants to rectify the army, I am willing to return all the land on the border of Fengguo Duke's mansion, regardless of the source, to the imperial court and use it as military land for ransom. The crime of negligence."
