Chapter 655 Ultimatum

Early in the morning.

When the courtiers were preparing for the morning court, a piece of news spread among the ministers.

Two brothers, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, led people to grab the bank account last night, but they were stopped by Jin Yiwei on the spot, and they were taken and detained in the Imperial Prison. Even the slaves of the Zhang family were captured...

The ministers are still very familiar with the misdeeds of the Zhang brothers, but this time the matter seems to be very serious, and it is hard to say how different it is from the previous Xishan Weapon Fight. Threatening with the archers and the Shenji battalion, they surrendered without fighting.

"It seems that the matter is not simple..." Peng Ze, Minister of the Ministry of War, came to talk to Yang Tinghe about this matter, and he was worried that the case would be expanded.

Yang Tinghe did not make any statement.

The last time the Zhang brothers went to the Xishan Coal Mine to fight Jin Yiwei, Yang Tinghe would instigate him behind his back, in order to create conflicts between the Empress Dowager Zhang and the new emperor, so as to weaken both parties.

Now that the two sides are fighting again, Yang Tinghe secretly wants to sit on the sidelines and take advantage of the opportunity.

……

……

in the hall.

The discussion proceeded step by step, and no one mentioned anything about the Zhang family brothers.

Even the emperor seemed to have no intention of mentioning this matter.

Until the end, everyone forgot that there were still the Zhang family's living treasure brothers, no matter whether they participated in the impeachment or came forward to intercede, there was none.

The emperor returned to the Qianqing Palace.

Yang Tinghe is also preparing to go back home to rest... After all, he and Mao Ji were on duty last night. They are old and frail, so they have to go back to catch up on sleep.

Not far away, the eunuch Zhang Zuo, the supervisor of ceremonies, hurriedly followed along with two young eunuchs.

"Old Yang Ge, please stop."

Zhang Zuo looked respectful.

Yang Tinghe and Mao Ji were about to leave the palace, when they heard this, they stopped, turned around and bowed their hands to Zhang Zuo.

Just when the second cabinet minister thought that Zhang Zuo was here for the Zhang family brothers, Zhang Zuo said something that had nothing to do with it: "Your Majesty asked Mr. Yang Ge, but he didn't know about the matter of increasing the number of days to talk about officials. , do you have any clues?"

Yang Tinghe nodded slightly, wondering if Zhang Zuo would speak out of breath, and go around in circles to bring up the matter of the Zhang family brothers?

Mao Ji answered on his behalf: "It's already being arranged."

"That's good."

Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "There is one more thing, the empress dowager is too expensive to summon, she said that I would like you to wait outside the Renshou Palace, I don't know... Old Yang Ge..."

Yang Tinghe was full of slander, the emperor didn't talk to him about the Zhang family brothers, but the queen mother wanted to mention it?

Now the problem is a little troublesome.

Empress Dowager Zhang knew that her younger brother was taken by Jin Yiwei, so she didn't go to her stepson to discuss releasing him, why did she ask Yang Tinghe?
Now is not the time when the emperor just died, the Empress Dowager Zhang is a widow now, no matter how old Yang Tinghe is, he is still a man, how can there be any reason for a man to enter the harem to meet the empress dowager alone?What would the Defenders think?Do you still want your own reputation?
"Please lead the way..."

After thinking about it, Yang Tinghe decided to go and have a look.

Since you don't know what the situation is, then go find out what happened, maybe this matter has something to do with you!
……

……

In front of Renshou Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhang specially came out to meet with Yang Tinghe, which showed that the Empress Dowager would not meet with ministers outside the palace in the house, even if they met, it was as if they met by chance and asked about something casually.

...

Zhang Zuo and other eunuchs and court ladies all stayed away.

"Old Yang, have you heard about the two younger brothers of the Ai family?"

Empress Dowager Zhang came up and asked.

Yang Tinghe didn't dare to look at Empress Dowager Zhang's face, bowed and said, "I don't know what the Empress Dowager said?"

At this time Yang Tinghe pretended to be confused.

I'm not stupid, the matter of you mother and son, at most the emperor's two nominal uncles are involved, does it have anything to do with me as a foreign minister?
Empress Dowager Zhang said: "It's all because my younger brother is ignorant, so he has to toss and say yes.
I went to a place called the bank, and I didn't know whether to deposit or withdraw the money. In short, I had a misunderstanding with someone and was taken down by Jin Yiwei. The two of them were bailed out! "

bail out?
The word used...

Yang Tinghe realized that even the Empress Dowager Zhang knew that the two younger brothers were the ones at fault in this matter. They went out to rob and were arrested. It is a great privilege for the nobles of the title to do it.

Yang Tinghe asked puzzledly: "If this matter involves the prison, should the Empress Dowager directly ask His Majesty?"

Empress Dowager Zhang sighed: "The Ai family doesn't want to have any more disputes with the emperor because of this. There have been a lot of troubles before... I thought that my younger brother would be able to keep his own place and avoid a little trouble, but now... Ai family is thinking about it. , it is most appropriate for Mr. Yang Ge to come forward to help make peace."

Yang Tinghe really wanted to say, you are in a difficult situation!

The conflict between your mother and son, actually let me, an outsider, get involved in it?Are you still speaking so righteously?
Yang Tinghe asked: "If it's really the two uncles who committed the act of stealing people's wealth, what is the Queen Mother's plan?"

Today's Yang Tinghe seems to be very straightforward, saying some unpleasant things casually, without any concern about Queen Mother Zhang's face.

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Even if they are, then they can't stay in the Imperial Prison and let them suffer, right? They are under house arrest and are not allowed to go out for a step. How should they be punished... Ai's family is worried that they will really make mistakes, so they don't want to have a relationship with the emperor." Face it, so...you have to thank Elder Yang Ge.”

"But……"

Yang Tinghe was obviously unwilling to be the messenger.

Empress Dowager Zhang sighed: "About the matter of your brother-in-law, just ask His Majesty directly. The Ai family will let someone take you to the Qianqing Palace. After the discussion, you can come to see the Ai family. Now that the Ai family has no immediate relatives, just These two younger brothers..."

……

……

Seeing Queen Mother Zhang's sincere words, Yang Tinghe couldn't refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and go to Zhu Si.

It was originally a widow who took care of her son, but now her son is dead. According to folklore, this woman should have nothing to do with her husband's family, but she adopted a clan child with her husband's surname to inherit the family business. .

Yang Tinghe's respect for Empress Dowager Zhang is due to consideration for the stability of Daming, and the presence of Empress Dowager Zhang is a powerful threat to the new emperor, so the gang still has to help.

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Yang Tinghe waited for Zhang Zuo to send the message for a while, and then entered the room according to the order.

This time Zhang Zuo didn't avoid it, and stood behind Zhu Si.

Sitting in front of the case, Zhu Si asked calmly, "Is it the queen mother who asked Yang Ge to come here?"

...

Yang Tinghe thought to himself, isn't this nonsense?
You mother and son are very good at playing.

"Your Majesty, about the matter of Marquis Shouning and Marquis Jianchang..." Yang Tinghe was about to say something, but found that Zhu Si stretched out his hand, meaning to tell him not to continue.

Zhu Si said solemnly: "Actually, I got the news last night. I sent someone to inform my mother early this morning to tell her what was going on. But I said that my two uncles are too incompetent. In broad daylight, the sky is bright, and they are in the capital. Robbery in a place of goodness? Fortunately, I learned the news in advance and sent Jin Yiwei to stop their actions. If they succeed...how will the world think of me? What is the royal family's face?"

The emperor was very honest and told the whole situation.

Yang Tinghe was a little surprised that the little emperor admitted that he knew in advance that the Zhang family brothers were going to rob the bank?No wonder you were able to send people to the scene in time to catch the Zhang brothers.

Yang Tinghe thought to himself, this pair of living treasure brothers really have no brains, can people get the information in advance if they rob things?What an idiot who drills into it if he has a pocket!
Zhu Si shook his head and sighed: "They are all my uncles. Originally, the store didn't suffer much loss this time, so we can ignore it, but this matter concerns the court's integrity and the royal family's face. I really don't know how to punish them. Mr. Yang Ge, do you think they should be punished?" How can we punish them so that they will not dare to do anything wrong in the future?"

"This... the old minister has no idea."

Yang Tinghe evaded.

In the past, he would push forward with many things, but when it came to the Zhang brothers, Yang Tinghe avoided it if he could, and made jokes and pretended to be confused if he couldn't.

Zhu Sidao: "Yes, Xishan sent people directly to fight with weapons earlier, and both sides suffered casualties. The leader must have committed a heinous crime, right? Just because they are relatives of the emperor, they were spared the death penalty. They should have been severely punished. I don't think it's only been three years. Four months...just another incident like this happened. If they kill another person at the scene of the incident, shall I kill them or not?"

Yang Tinghe thought to himself, has it developed to consider the issue of killing or not?
This seems to be going a little too fast.

If you ask me, I will definitely tell you not to kill, but now it seems that what the brothers of the Zhang family have done has not reached the point where you said that they should be killed, and you have not asked my opinion, so I will not answer.

Zhu Sidao: "I know that my mother is very concerned about her two younger brothers. I can't hurt her old man's heart, but there are many things that I can't tolerate again and again. The court's strict laws are not specially set up for ordinary people. The same is true for princes and nobles. It is said that it is my uncle, even if it is me, I cannot kill people at will! Mr. Yang Ge, are you right?"

Yang Tinghe cupped his hands: "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true."

To Yang Tinghe, isn't this all nonsense?Also used to tell me?

"Okay, then go and tell the queen mother that I will punish them slightly this time, and lock them up for a few days to kill their anger. It won't be too embarrassing. After I figure out how to punish, Let him go... But if they commit the crime again next time, they will be punished according to the law, and I also ask Mr. Yang Ge to persuade the queen mother to tell the two of them not to do anything wrong again!"

Zhu Si can be regarded as giving face to Zhang Shi and Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe at least felt that, without saying a nutritious word, he roughly completed the mission of Queen Mother Zhang, and it was easy to go back to work.

The matter is very simple to solve, let's not take it as an example!
However, is it true that those two goods can be sold as an example?
This is not going to be an ultimatum, is it?
……

……

into the night.

In the imperial prison, the Zhang family brothers were locked in a room with two rooms inside and outside. There was only a small ventilation window, which was still blocked by iron bars, and the door was locked tightly.

The brothers were ashamed.

"Brother, it's all your fault! What kind of robbery did you do when you had nothing to do, and what happened now? You really can't do anything!"

Zhang Yanling complained on the side.

Zhang Heling said angrily: "It's all your fault! It's agreed that you stay outside to deal with the officers and soldiers."

Zhang Yanling instantly became angry: "Are those officers and soldiers? That's Jin Yiwei! They are well-trained and well-prepared, what should I use to deal with them? There must be someone in your house who informs, and they don't come to dissuade them when they know, just wait until you are arrested." , now the reputation of our two brothers...will be stinking on the streets!"
