Monument Yangmen

Chapter 440

However, when Lao Yang came forward, not only was it useless to explain the matter clearly, but it caused even greater uproar.

When Song Qi and a group of censors saw Lao Yang, they swarmed up like rotten meat that flies saw, and they all slammed with righteous indignation, making Lao Yang dizzy.

Lao Yang is an upright person who plays lip service. He is the opponent of these civil servants who rely on lip service for a living.

Under the verbal criticism of Song Qi and a group of censors, Lao Yang was quickly defeated.

Lao Yang stayed behind closed doors, as if he was in peace.

However, Song Qi and the imperial censors did not intend to let go of the Yang family. They joined forces and played a book of ten thousand words to Zhao Guangyi.

In the Wanyan book, 36 crimes of the Yang family were listed in one breath, each of which was enough to warrant a death penalty for the Yang family.

Zhao Guangyi kept this memorial and did not publish it, as if he wanted to reconsider.

All of a sudden, civil officials from other places, as if they had received some instructions, wrote letters to impeach the Yang family.

All of a sudden, the Yang family became overwhelmed.

Lao Yang wandered around the mansion anxiously, but he was helpless.

Only now did Lao Yang know the benefits of Yang Qi's presence.

If Yang Qi hadn't been injured, with him sitting in the Yang residence, those clowns wouldn't dare to frame the Yang family so recklessly.

Unfortunately, Yang Qi is now unconscious.

Lao Yang sent someone to the Cao Mansion and invited Cao Bin.

As soon as Cao Bin arrived, Lao Yang invited Cao Bin to sit down, and after offering fragrant tea, he asked with a sad face: "My dear man, how did things turn out like this? I am always kind to others, and I have never had any problems with those civil servants." During the festival, why did they bully my Yang family like this?"

Holding fragrant tea, Cao Bin smiled wryly and said, "He is beating the dog in the water, and he is also taking revenge. Before that, my son-in-law took action and sent several princes into the mansion to be grounded. Now, I am watching that your Yang family is in trouble." , just took this opportunity to connect together and trample your Yang family underfoot."

Lao Yang said in astonishment: "What does the in-law mean to say that the matter against the Yang family this time was instigated by the princes?"

Cao Bin nodded helplessly, and said: "If you didn't use the princes to instigate behind your back, how could there be such a big commotion in the court?"

Lao Yang said angrily: "It's unreasonable. If they interfere in the government without authorization, aren't they afraid that His Majesty will commit crimes?"

Cao Bin rolled his eyes and said, "If Your Majesty wanted to convict, he would have done so long ago. Aren't they just like normal people now?"

Lao Yang slumped on the chair in a daze.

In his heart, he had already given up on His Majesty who sat high on the Dragon Throne.

Cao Bin sighed and said, "Now, you have two choices. The first is to do nothing and wait for my son-in-law to wake up; For the sake of my son-in-law, Mr. Xiang will help your Yang family."

After leaving this sentence, Cao Bin hurriedly left the Yang Mansion.

She Saihua quietly entered the main hall from the back hall, looked at the distraught Lao Yang, and said distressedly: "Chonggui, why don't I prepare some gifts, and you go to Zhao Xianggong's mansion?"

Lao Yang gradually came back to his senses, his eyes widened, and he said, "Bribing is something that a husband shouldn't do."

She Saihua smiled wryly and shook her head, "Then don't do anything, let Qilang decide everything after he recovers from his injury."

Yang Hong ran into the main hall at this time, bowed and said, "Master, madam, there is a letter from Sanshan Temple."

When Lao Yang and She Saihua heard the words, they waved immediately, "Hurry up and bring it here."

Lao Yang took the letter in Yang Hong's hand, opened the letter, and stared at the words on it. After carefully reading the contents of the letter, the husband and wife were stunned.

"This……"

"Really?"

The husband and wife stared at each other for a while.

She Saihua gritted her silver teeth slightly, and suddenly said: "I think the letter is right. The most important thing for a family is to be neat and tidy, and nothing else is important."

With a bitter face, Lao Yang sighed and said, "I'm not reconciled."

She Saihua stared and said: "So what if you are not reconciled, in this situation, is there any other way? Do you really have to wait until the day when you are questioned by His Majesty?"

Lao Yang lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Let me think about it again."

After Lao Yang finished speaking, he sat in the main hall without moving.

He sat in the main hall for a whole day.

It wasn't until She Saihua came over to urge him to eat for the third time that he sighed and said in a trembling voice, "What is the purpose of fighting for half a lifetime? Hehehe..."

Lao Yang looked a little crazy.

She Saihua approached him anxiously, and asked softly, "Chonggui, are you alright?"

Lao Yang shook his head, stood up, and sighed: "The old man has never been so sober."

Lao Yang walked to the desk on one side and ordered: "Help the old man sharpen the ink, the old man wants a few letters."

Lao Yang wrote four letters in one breath, and each letter marked the name of the recipient, and then he asked Yang Hong to hand over the letters to Cao Lin.

Since Lao Yang wrote these four letters and sent them through Cao Lin.

The whole person becomes very complicated.

He often sighs and sighs alone, with a look of resignation.

But those who are familiar with him have found that Lao Yang's steps are lighter than before, and his whole body is much more relaxed.

In the past, he always liked the stern-faced Lao Yang, now that he also chatted and laughed with the soldiers in the mansion.

Every time She Saihua saw the natural smile on Lao Yang's face, she was very happy in her heart.

The court's impeachment against the Yang family has never stopped.

But Lao Yang didn't seem to care about these things.

It seems that it is not the Yang family that is being impeached in the court, but someone else's family.

Song House.

Lu Meng is leading a group of censors to ask Song Qi for advice.

"Teacher, we have worked so hard to impeach the Yang family, but Yang Ye remains unmoved. Is there something else to rely on?"

Song Qi was talking forehand with Lu Meng, and he seemed to be more interested in the chess game than he was talking about the Yang family with Lu Meng.

It's just that Lu Mengzheng and a group of censors were waiting for him to reply, each of them had no intention of playing the game.

Song Qi didn't enjoy playing, so she could only throw down a black jade chess piece in her hand, and said with a smile: "What can I rely on? It's just a mystery. As long as we work harder and get the Yang family down, then It's a breeze."

Lu Mengzheng frowned and said: "What the teacher said is very true. The students are worried that the Yang family will take the opportunity to join the second prince's command. If the second prince is the guarantor, it will be very difficult for us to take down the Yang family."

Song Qi was stunned, and said in a low voice: "What you said is not unreasonable. In the court before, Yang Yansi offended almost all the princes, but it was useless to offend the second prince. The Yang family went to attach themselves to the second prince. It's really possible."

Lu Meng was frowning, and pondered: "If this is the case, what should we do?"

Song Qi shook her head and smiled, "What should we do then? Could it be that we still have a way out? Besides, even if there is a second prince covering the Yang family, so what? The first prince was stripped of his title of prince. The second son should inherit the position of crown prince. For the second prince, this is not only an opportunity, but also a cage.

As long as this opportunity exists, the second prince will not dare to do anything with great fanfare.Even living on thin ice.

Once there is an accident and someone catches his weakness, then the position of the heir apparent will be lost.

Compared with the position of the Yang family, the position of the crown prince is more important. Needless to say, the old man, you should also understand.

Therefore, the old man dares to conclude that even the Yang family took refuge in the Second Prince.

It is also impossible for the second prince to turn against us in order to protect the Yang family. "

Lu Mengzheng looked happy, and cupped his hands and said, "Mentor is wise. Hearing what my mentor said, the student suddenly understood. We can feel at ease with what our mentor said."

Lu Mengzheng paused for a moment, then said: "Teacher, our impeachment in the past few days is not painful or itchy for the Yang family, and it is of no use. If things go on like this, it may not be effective. I don't know if the teacher has any other brilliant ideas."

Song Qi chuckled and said, "Do you remember that Yang Yansi brought in [-] party troops during the Yanmen Pass battle?"

Lu Mengzheng's eyes brightened, "Master, do you want to make a fuss about this?"

Song Qi nodded and said: "That's right, what His Majesty hates the most is military generals monopolizing power, and even more afraid of colluding with foreign races. As long as we label the Yang family as colluding with foreign races and having evil intentions, then the Yang family should almost It's over."

Lu Mengzheng was overjoyed, he clapped his hands and said, "This is the ultimate move."

Song Qi smiled proudly: "That's natural. As a teacher, I often wait around His Majesty, so I naturally understand His Majesty's temperament. As long as you prescribe the medicine according to His Majesty's temperament, why not worry about a major event? You all go down and prepare. Let Yang Ye be proud for a few days first." Well, four days later, we will play together and give the Yang family a fatal blow."

Lu Mengzheng clasped his fists and said, "My mentor is wise."

Three days passed in a flash.

Morning three days later.

The civil servants, like proud roosters, held their heads high and swaggered, as if they wanted to tell everyone that they had a big job to do.

Seeing the disgusting appearance of the civil servants, the military generals felt extremely alarmed.

Zhao Pu just glanced at Song Qi and the censors, then closed his eyes and continued to doze off.

Old Yang came late.

When Lao Yang's sedan chair arrived in front of the Donghua Gate, the Donghua Gate had already opened.

Lao Yang stepped out of the sedan chair, and while walking towards the Donghua Gate, he wanted to chat with some colleagues.

But he found that people avoided him, just like avoiding a tiger.

Lao Yang gave a wry smile, hung alone behind all the officials, and entered the Chuigong Hall.

Today's Chui Gong Temple is very different.

It seems that to witness the fall of this outstanding general, Lao Yang, all the officials arrived in a particularly orderly manner.

In addition, several sons of Zhao Guangyi, as well as Zhao Defang, the eight sage kings, were also exceptionally recruited to court.

Zhao Guangyi was wearing a purple dragon robe, very majestic.

He sat on the dragon chair, and all the officials shouted long live.

"Everyone who loves you is flat, please sit down."

After Zhao Guangyi gave Zhao Pu and Zhao Defang their seats in accordance with the etiquette, the morning court officially began.

Lu Mengzheng took the lead, and bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I impeached Yang Ye, the Duke of Dai, for colluding with other races, with evil intentions."

With Lu Meng taking the lead, the censors came out to impeach Lao Yang.

Civil servants came out one by one, and wrote a lot of memorials one by one.

In their eyes, the Yang family has become an unspeakable criminal.

It seems that not killing is not enough for civilian indignation.

Song Qi, as the head of the envoy, summed up the guilt of the Yang family with one final word.

Not only did he count Lao Yang's crimes in detail, even the seven sons of the Yang family didn't let go, everyone was charged with some crimes.

Among them, Yang Si was the most accused.

Song Qi threatened that Yang Si was just pretending to die, but in fact, he had secretly voted for the Liao Kingdom.

All the princes have cheerful smiles on their faces.

Only the second prince is different from Zhao Defang.

The second prince kept frowning tightly.

Zhao Defang looked thoughtful.

However, from the beginning to the end, Lao Yang seemed to be a normal person, as if everything in the court had nothing to do with him.

Everyone secretly watched Lao Yang.

Lao Yang's performance exceeded everyone's expectations.

Zhao Guangyi felt that Lao Yang was abnormal, so he couldn't help asking, "Yang Ye, what do you have to say?"

Lao Yang was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "There is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime, the old minister is a fighter on the battlefield, and if he plays tricks, he is naturally no match for Song Xianggong and others.

Since ancient times, there have been countless loyal ministers who have been wronged to death, and there is no shortage of veteran ministers.

I just hope that the colleagues of the civil servants will be more gentle when dealing with other military generals in the future.

If there are foreign enemies coming, you have to rely on them to resist. "

Song Qi spat when she heard the words, and shouted: "Damn, you Yang Ye is a national thief, how dare you call yourself a loyal minister and good general?"

The civil servants stared at Lao Yang with the same hatred.

The generals looked at Lao Yang's back with complicated expressions.

What Lao Yang said, it can be said that they touched their hearts.

They also sympathized with Lao Yang, but none of them was willing to stand up and speak for Lao Yang.

Being scolded by Song Qi, Lao Yang not only didn't get angry, but grinned instead.

"Song Xianggong has really spared no effort to help the third prince open his eyes. Forget it, since the Yang family cannot be accommodated in this court, then the old man just leaves."

Lao Yang reached out his hand and took out a memorial from his sleeve, bowed and said: "Veteran Yang Ye, beg for bones."

The civil and military officials of Manchu Dynasty were astonished when they saw this scene.

Lao Yang gave up so quickly?
This monstrous wealth, if you don't want it, don't you want it?

Such exceptions are rare in ancient and modern times.

You know, as a noble family of generals, from the first generation, the wealth can continue to the fourth generation, the wealth of nearly a hundred years, if you don't want it, you don't want it?

Who would have thought?

Anyone in the court, in Lao Yang's position, would probably have to struggle hard before agreeing to compromise.

Zhao Pu opened his eyes suddenly, staring at Lao Yang firmly.

Zhao Guangyi asked in disbelief: "Yang Aiqing, what are you trying to do?"

Zhao Guangyi was taken aback, and he couldn't care less about the sentence in Yang Ye's words just now, "Song Xianggong is to help the third prince open his eyes".

The princes were also stunned.

Only the third prince, with a livid face, wanted to rush forward and strangle Lao Yang to death.
