Chapter 982 Firm and Not Firm
Before Zhang Cong came to see Yang Shen, he never thought that he would run into a wall so thoroughly.

He can completely understand Yang Shen's disbelief in his words, but how did Yang Shen's blind trust in Zhu Hao come from?Could it be that with Yang Shen's intelligence and intelligence, he couldn't even see that there was a problem with Zhu Hao's identity?

"Yongxiu, even if you and I have different positions, you shouldn't be so out of touch. After all, I'm here to help you." Zhang Cong said.

Yang Shen sneered endlessly: "Are you helping me? Dare to say what is going on right now without your participation?"

Zhang Cong said: "I haven't been in the court for a long time, so I can't influence His Majesty's opinion, but there is one person who repeatedly speaks in front of Your Majesty, which is more harmful to the court."

Yang Shen continued to sneer: "You don't want to say it's respect again, do you?"

Zhang Cong was choked a little bit unbearably.

"Brother Xiu really treats him as one of his own? You never thought about being betrayed by him?"

Zhang Cong is now determined to tell Yang Shen about Zhu Hao and ask Yang Shen to publicize it, which will ruin Zhu Hao's reputation in the traditional civil service.

This was the only way he could think of to restrict Tang Yin and Zhu Hao.

In fact, he himself knew that he had acted too hastily, but now he is a Hanlin scholar, and today Zhu Si supported Zhu Hao and ridiculed Xi Shu in front of them, which made Zhang Cong feel a huge crisis.

If the trouble is not good, Zhu Hao is likely to make a stumbling block, causing Zhang Cong, Gui E and others to be sent out of the capital, and it will be too late to make a move.

Yang Shen said: "Don't open your mouth!"

No matter what Zhang Cong said, Yang Shen just didn't listen to his criticism of Zhu Hao.

Zhang Cong thought about it, Zhu Jingdao, what drug did this kid give them?Why did everyone trust him so much?Or is it that my credibility is too low and they don't believe me?Wouldn't the effect be better if it was a different person?Who should I replace?
Just when Zhang Cong wanted to go to Huang Zan and ask Huang Zan to step Zhu Hao into the ditch, Yang Shen on the other side was already sitting on the chair prepared for him, closed his eyes, and ignored Zhang Cong.

Yang Shen's character is obviously beyond Zhang Cong's grasp.

Zhu Hao knew very well that Yang Shen is a master who "does not scatter eagles when he sees no rabbits". If you don't give him benefits, why should you let him listen to you?

From Yang Shen's point of view, you, Zhang Cong, are a villain who relies on his skills to gain a position. He only knows how to pander and make trouble behind his back. It's true, Zhu Hao really eats inside and out... But the problem is, Zhu Hao has already told him.

When we met last time, Yang Shen was very angry at Zhu Hao's erratic position, and was even very angry that Zhu Hao wanted to stand by the emperor.

But the key point is that Zhu Hao helped him obtain the position of Bachelor of Attendant of the Imperial Academy, and also preserved his reputation as a backbone of the Guardian School, which means that he obtained the Bachelor of Attendant without violating his own position. Moreover, through his teacher-student relationship with Tang Yin, Zhu Hao kept bringing in some "inside information".

Are these things comparable to Zhang Cong?

Even if you, Zhang Cong, think you are good, you are still a treacherous villain.

And no matter how bad Zhu Hao was, he was still a gentleman.

From Yang Shen's point of view, even if Zhu Hao is really the opposite person, I can deal with him, not as a comrade in arms, but also as a friend, and you, Zhang Cong, are you a fart?

"Yongxiu, why are you so obsessed with obsession? Do you know how many things Zhu Jingdao has done behind the scenes to endanger the court?" Zhang Cong was also anxious.

Who the hell are you going to reason with?
I came to report Zhu Hao, but no one believed me?
Yang Shen opened his eyes, glanced at him and said, "Zhang Bingyong, do you know why I don't believe you?"

Zhang Cong breathed heavily and said, "Please enlighten me."

Yang Shendao: "Because I can feel that even if you came to tip off the news, your purpose is obviously not for justice, but with an insidious malice. And Zhu Jingdao, no matter what his position is, at least he is upright."

"He is aboveboard? You..."

Zhang Cong almost jumped up on the spot.

Are you, Yang Shen, blind or blind?That kid has been hiding in your camp as a second-five boy, you actually think he is a decent person, and I am an evil villain?
Even if you think I'm trying to gain a position, you shouldn't have such a rigid prejudice against me, right?

Yang Shen closed his eyes again, and didn't explain the unnecessary words to Zhang Cong.

Yang Shen was dissatisfied with Zhu Hao's position, but he didn't think that Zhu Hao was the opponent's "instigator". Have you ever seen the instigator reveal his plan to the opponent in advance?
Zhu Hao had clearly reminded the emperor when the edict of the ceremony would be issued, and also explained the situation at the gate of the palace... He had also brought warnings several times before, so that the guards could prepare in advance.

From this point of view, why did Yang Shen classify Zhu Hao as an enemy?

Yang Shen can only feel that even if Zhu Hao is not his undercover agent, he is inclined towards the entire civil servant group in his heart, otherwise why does he have to tip off the news again and again?

Coupled with the fact that Zhu Hao helped him obtain the position of Bachelor of Attendance, and his friendship with Zhu Hao for so many years... Even if Yang Shen is nothing, it is impossible for him to choose to trust Zhang Cong and give up Zhu Hao, because Zhu Hao knows him Yang Shen's secret was not revealed to the outside world, and Yang Shen didn't want to admit that he misjudged the wrong person from the beginning.

Could it be that I, Yang Dacai, don't want to lose face?

"Do it yourself!"

In the end, Zhang Cong could only throw down a sentence viciously, then turned around and left.

……

……

"I'm furious!"

After Zhang Cong walked out of the imperial prison, he went outside, taking a breath, and at the same time, the resentment in his heart couldn't be added.

Now he wanted to beat Yang Shen violently, but also wanted to tear Zhu Haoda to pieces. With his penny-pinching personality, he didn't want to see this scene.

I have worked so hard to be the leader of the Shangyi School, and I have faced so many people as enemies, and the people of the world regard me as the number one traitorous official. As a result, when you are asking for rewards, you, Zhu Hao, took away the fruits of victory with a single word. Not to mention, you helped Tang Yin pick one, and in the end you only gave me the rotten fruit left over from picking one.

What's more, the emperor trusts you in every possible way, and only has you in his eyes and can't tolerate others...

Now even your opponent Yang Shen has a kind of blind trust in you! ?
This kid...does he know magic tricks?

"Bachelor Zhang."

When Luo An came to Zhang Cong's side, he didn't understand why Zhang Cong was so angry.

You are here to persuade those people to turn back, but everyone knows that this is impossible. No matter what pettiness these people have in mind when they are captured, at least they have to face. Could it be possible to change their original intentions by being coerced and lured?If this is the case, how will they mess around in the court in the future?
It's clear that persuasion is useless, you know the result, and you still look like this when you come out of prison?

Are you deliberately putting on a posture of being incompatible with them in front of us people?

Zhang Cong said: "Commissioner Luo Zhen, who should I see next?"

Luo An clasped his fists and saluted: "Listen to Xueshi Zhang."

The emperor asked you to lobby, so you have the final say on who you see?Why are you still asking me?

"Bing Keyou gave Xia Yan in the matter, please lead the way!" Zhang Cong thought for a while.

Among the arrested people, those with a firm stand don’t need to meet. Only Xia Yan and Lou Zhide may be the breakthrough point. Although the words of these two people have no weight, they will listen to me if they can’t hold back. It's a little dangerous to say what I said, what if they reveal that I said it?

At the very least, you should make some indirect remarks, and don't want to be both right and wrong like Zhu Hao!
……

……

As Zhang Cong thought, Xia Yan was really in a hurry.

I am just a speaker who was coerced to participate in Zuoshunmen's kneeling admonishment. Even though I had clear opinions on matters such as dealing with powerful people and doing evil, I have never made radical remarks on the issue of Dali. How could I be the one who was arrested? Woolen cloth?

You Jinyiwei arrested the wrong person, right?

When Xia Yan saw Zhang Cong, it was like grabbing straws.

Originally arrogant Xia Yan really looked down on Zhang Cong, who had risen rapidly within a few years of entering the court, but judging from the current status of both parties... Zhang Cong is already a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and Xia Yan is too much higher than him. Xia Yan didn't want to end up being assigned by the emperor because of the great ceremony, he really regarded Zhang Cong as the person who came to save him now.

"I met Xueshi Zhang."

Xia Yan saluted Zhang Cong respectfully.

When Zhang Cong saw this posture, he immediately felt that he had already gained face, and he was no longer a street mouse that everyone shouted and beaten.

Zhang Cong retreated from Jin Yiwei again, and talked to Xia Yan alone.

This time Zhang Cong went directly into the cell and sat down, while Xia Yan stood aside respectfully, which showed the difference between Xia Yan and Yang Shen.

"Wei Xian and others said earlier that they received your invitation after they arrived in the capital, and you even talked to them about some things alone..."

Another important reason why Zhang Cong was willing to come to see Xia Yan was that Huo Tao and others said that when they arrived in the capital, Xia Yan was among the people willing to entertain them.

This is enough to show that Xia Yan's position is not so firm, otherwise it would be impossible for a civil servant of the traditional school to associate with someone from the Yili school.

Xia Yan said: "It's just for business discussion, or personal friendship..."

Zhang Cong nodded and said, "Then what do you think of today's ceremony?"

This question is very acute.

I, Xia Yan, went to Zuoshunmen, no matter how unsteady I am, I can't change my position at this time, otherwise there will really be no room for me in this court.

But in front of Zhang Cong, he couldn't finish his words. If he gritted his teeth and insisted on going back, then he might really leave the capital and be sent to another place, and it would be difficult for him to turn around in the future.

Xia Yandao: "Etiquette and law should be discussed again. It can't be done overnight. As for the joints, I currently believe that the protection of etiquette should be the main thing, and the ancestral system should not be violated. But your majesty is dedicated to filial piety..."

After walking around for a long time, it means that I didn't say anything.

But it was such seemingly firm but ambiguous words that made Zhang Cong feel that this Xia Yan was actually the same kind of person as himself.

Then opportunists.

The so-called position is not really how firm and unshakable it is, but just serving the purpose.

"Okay, then tell me in detail."

Zhang Cong became interested instead.
