Jinyi champion

Chapter 488
Lu Zhanqing stood behind the screen and didn't reply for a long time. Outside the door, Sun Sile hurriedly urged: "A few superiors, have you finished your question?"

Zhu Hao ignored it, and said calmly: "Go back and write out your own situation. It can be regarded as a private letter to your grandfather. Even if it is seized, the situation will not be worse than it is now, will it? After half an hour, I will send The man will fetch the letter."

"Ah."

Lu Zhanqing made a simple reply, obviously tempted.

Then Sun Sile and the others came back and saw that Lu Zhanqing was still standing behind the screen, the people in the Jiaofang Division were relieved, and quickly served the banquet again.

After everyone withdrew, Tang Yin said: "You want to involve Mr. Yang Ge?"

Zhu Haodao: "It's really a helpless move...Shang Shu Wang Qiong made great contributions in quelling King Ning's rebellion, so the crime can't be involved in adultery with King Ning, but Lu Wan is different. He is the biggest loser in the King Ning case. Official, his words must be convincing, right?"

Tang Yin shook his head and said: "But who would listen to the words of a criminal minister? Everyone would think that when he was dying, he wanted to frame, implicate others, and wantonly slander."

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "I don't know if it's slander, but Lu Wan is a former minister of the official department, and what he said is more credible than ordinary people. Your Majesty can use Lu Wan's 'blood book' in prison to deter him. This effect is enough !

"Yang Ge's father and son are in the court, and their eldest son Yang Shen will soon be promoted to a scholar of the Imperial Academy. What? Will the Yang family have the final say in this court in the future?"

From these words, Tang Yin immediately realized that there was more to Zhu Hao's plan.

Without knowing the inside story, he didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Song looked at Zhu Hao's gaze with a little more respect for an instant. Being able to talk about state affairs in a place like the Jiaofang Division and elevate things to such a high level... Lu Song asked himself that his vision could not be compared with Zhu Hao's.

……

……

Debauchery.

The two adjacent rooms in Jiaofang Division have a very different atmosphere. The "meat bureau" next door is completely vegetarian.

Even though Tang Yin was yearning for sensual things, Lu Song was not the calm Liu Xiahui, but there was always Zhu Hao, a half-grown boy, by his side, so they could only restrain themselves, listen to the little song, Accept Le Ling to come over and pour wine, and there will be no other entertainment.

Fresh and elegant!

It gave people a feeling that all three were first-time brothers and had never seen anything in the world. Even a girl in her twenties who arranged to pour wine for the three of them actually covered her mouth a little shy when she saw Zhu Hao smiling at her.

Zhu Hao really wanted to say, Auntie, how can you say that you are more than ten years older than me, do you think I'm good enough for you?
Because Zhu Hao mentioned official business, Tang Yin didn't ask whether Zhu Hao's helping Lu Wan involved the past that Lu Zhanqing and Zhu Hao almost got married.

The banquet ended hastily, and when Lu Song went to get the letter later, Zhu Hao and Tang Yin were waiting downstairs.

Lu Song took four Jinyi guards to the private house in Jiaofang Sihou Lane where the offender's family members lived, brought the letter back, and nodded to Zhu Hao.

It means that he has read the contents of the letter and there is no problem.

That same night, Zhu Hao and Tang Yin went to the temporary office on the west side of Jinyiwei, found Luo An, and asked someone to bring the letter to Lu Wan in prison, and then asked Lu Wan to write a blood letter in prison.

……

……

Early the next morning, something happened.

When Yang Tinghe entered the court to participate in the court meeting, when he took a sedan chair to the sedan chair room, there was a suspicious man sneaking around with a knife, but he was captured before he could make a move.

Even though no blood was shed in this incident, Yang Tinghe was really taken aback. After entering the palace, before the morning court began, the emperor sent the eunuch Zhang Zuo, the supervisor of ceremonies, to come to condolences, and at the same time sent a message to invite Yang Tinghe to the Qianqing Palace To see the new emperor.

Yang Tinghe suddenly felt that things were extraordinary.

In the Ming Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers met mostly in the court hall, and they rarely met in private. Even Emperor Hongzhi, who was known for his hard work in governing the country, had been in power for eighteen years. Being summoned alone shows that the emperor who has just ascended the throne is ready to learn from Xiaozong, the nominal father, in governing the country.

Yang Tinghe arrived outside Qianqing Palace.

After passing the word, Yang Tinghe entered and saw Zhu Si was preparing for the upcoming morning court.

The court meeting is still held in the Fengtian Hall. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, many court meetings have been held in the form of a large court, reflecting the new emperor's benevolence to the ministers.

"Mr. Yang Ge is here? You all step back, I have something to say to Mr. Yang Ge!"

Not only was he summoned, but he was summoned alone. After all the servants retired, only Zhang Zuo was left on the scene, and he was only standing in a corner of the hall, far away from him.

Zhu Sidao: "I heard that there were criminals who did harm to Mr. Yang Ge early this morning. Have they been caught?"

Yang Tinghe was startled, he had to ponder in his heart first, could this assassin be done by the new emperor?
But if you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be so. If the new emperor sent someone to assassinate him, why would the assassin shrink back?That's too inconsistent for an emperor to buy a dead man.

"It has been captured and handed over to the Shuntian Mansion for investigation."

Yang Ting agreed.

Zhu Si nodded: "We must find out who endangered the safety of Mr. Yang Ge, or Mr. Yang Ge cleaned up the bad government of the previous government and harmed the interests of many people. They want to take revenge... I am going to let the Beijing camp dispatch some Bailishi, protect Elder Yang Ge closely."

Yang Tinghe hurriedly saluted: "I don't dare to be an old minister."

"Oh, why not? Mr. Yang Ge has made great contributions to Daming, and I want to repay him." Zhu Si looked as if he valued Yang Tinghe's safety.

Yang Tinghe couldn't shirk it. He knew that the people who had been transferred might have the purpose of spying on him, but thinking that he was the supreme emperor, even if he wanted to spy, he didn't need to use such low-level and clumsy methods. Maybe he really wanted to protect his own safety?

In addition, Yang Tinghe was also shocked by the assassin in the morning, so he accepted it after a little refusal.

Zhu Si suddenly took out a memorial and said: "Early this morning, after I got up, Dongchang handed over such a thing. After reading it, I was very annoyed. The memorial was not drafted by the Secretary of General Administration to the cabinet, but was sent directly to me. At hand, I don’t know what they are going to do, and there are no rules at all. Take a look at Yang Ge!”

Yang Tinghe took the memorial, and when he opened it, he smelled a bloody smell.

After a closer look, it turned out that Lu Wan wrote a blood book in prison. In the book, he lamented that the return of the guards of Prince Ning's mansion was led by a traitor in the court, and he did not accept bribes, etc., and the so-called The communication evidence was all forged by Zhang Zhong, Jiang Bin and other traitors, and they were willing to confront Yun Yun in court.

Speaking of the latter, even Yang Tinghe was involved, saying that Yang Tinghe had sent his son Yang Shen to meet the envoys of King Ning, received a lot of money, and said he had evidence on hand.

After reading it, Yang Tinghe hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is Xiaoxiao's malicious and slanderous words, please don't take it lightly, Your Majesty."

Zhu Sidao: "Mr. Yang Ge, if I intend to accept this kind of slander, I will not show it to you, but some of what he said... If it is spread, I am afraid that it will affect the reputation of Mr. Yang Ge. Especially in the last few days. In other words, after he was imprisoned, someone had seen him in prison, implying that as long as Mr. Yang Ge was not involved in the case, his life could be saved, and he was said to be the son...Unexpectedly, he was sentenced in the court meeting. Capital crime, he was disheartened when he learned about it, so he went to the court to expose it..."

After hearing this, Yang Tinghe cursed in his heart.

Is Lu Wan stupid?

For his crime, of course he must be sentenced to death, but it can be argued again. Since he once made contributions to the rebellion of Liu Liu and Liu Qi, he was exempted from death. , how could you be so hasty and take the initiative to come out and expose?

This is not wanting to live!

Yang Tinghe's words were firm: "There is absolutely no such thing."

"I would like to believe Mr. Yang Ge, but I am afraid that people's words are terrible. In the memorandum, he said that he has made great achievements in suppressing the thieves, and he belongs to the list of eight opinions. He should save his life. I asked the people around me, and it seems that according to the law of Ming Dynasty, it is indeed the case. , should reduce death to exile and guard the border."

Zhu Si's words were very organized and targeted, and they were all taught by Zhu Hao.

The so-called "I asked people around me", Yang Tinghe has to think about it, who is so ignorant and dares to tear him down behind his back?

Who can you, a little emperor, meet?

Now that Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Zuo are your right-hand men, they probably won't mention the "Eight Suggestions", so your so-called "people around you" needless to say is Wei Bin, the admiral of the East Factory.

Reminiscent of Zhu Si’s previous statement that the memorial to Chen without going through the Secretary of General Political Affairs came from Dongchang, and now that Wei Bin is being criticized as a traitor and is in a state of desperation, Yang Tinghe can be sure that the person behind the scenes is not the Supervisor of Ceremonies Bingbi eunuch Wei Bin is none other than Wei Bin.

Yang Tinghe was very angry in his heart, but he still wanted to suppress his anger.

Zhu Sidao: "Mr. Yang Ge, what do you think?"

Yang Tinghe said: "Lu Wan communicated with King Ning and harmed the court. He should have died, but in view of his meritorious deeds, the crime may be mitigated...as His Majesty said."

Zhu Si nodded with satisfaction: "I heard that his mother was over [-] years old, but died of illness in prison. Why should the whole family be affected by one person's suffering? Why not decree that his family should be redeemed for the people, and then he will be exiled to the border. This is the case. Let's go... In the court, please ask old Yang Ge to make peace on his behalf. I don't want to kill the heroes of the previous dynasty in vain because I don't want to be the first to become a great treasure. side..."

Yang Tinghe finally understood the purpose of the emperor calling him to this private meeting.

It belongs to holding a small meeting before the court meeting to decide the direction of major events in the court. The monarch and ministers first reach an agreement before going to the court to speak, so that there will be no more direct conflicts in the court meeting, which makes people laugh.

Yang Tinghe had ten thousand reluctances in his heart, but he still respectfully saluted: "The old minister obeys the order."

"By the way, Mr. Yang Ge, I have also received the resignation letter from the Grand Master Liang. His words are sincere and he wants to go back to his hometown to spend the rest of his life. I want to discuss with you. Do you agree with the resignation of the Grand Master Liang?" Zhu Si asked inquire.

Liang Chu's resignation had been known to Yang Tinghe for a long time, and he had already made up his mind.

Liang Chu belonged to the existence in the cabinet that could directly challenge Yang Tinghe. Although Yang Tinghe regarded Liang Chu as "his own", he still had a grudge. After all, Liang Chu once served as the chief assistant on his behalf.

"The minister dare not speak rashly."

Yang Ting agreed.

Zhu Si nodded and said: "Then I agree."
