The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 345: Fraudulent Letters and Meritorious List

From the perspective of later generations, Yang Yiqing is not an idealist, but a realist.

Yang Yiqing never sticks to the Confucian ideal of a gentleman. When it was time to be ruthless, he was ruthless than anyone else. When it's time to engage in intrigue, he is more cunning and terrifying than anyone else.

In the study of King Anhua.

Chang Feng, Zhang Yong, and Yang Yiqing sat around the desk.

Chang Feng said: "Among the three of us, Mr. Yang is a master of calligraphy and good at copying. When it comes to punishing Jin, the pen is the sword. Please ask Mr. Yang to do it."

After speaking, Chang Feng opened a box. There are more than twenty memorials in the box. These are memorials archived by the General Affairs Department. Each letter comes from Liu Jin and his backbone of party members.

Chang Feng said: "Please ask Mr. Yang to imitate the handwriting of these people and forge letters of collusion and rebellion written by them to King Anhua."

After speaking, Chang Feng handed over twenty memorials to Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing reached out to take it, but Chang Feng seemed to regret it. He pulled back the memorial and took out Zhang Cai's letter.

Yang Yiqing asked: "Are you going to let Zhang Cai go?"

Chang Feng said: "Zhang Cai is the most virtuous person among Liu Jin's party members. He risked his life to correct many of the evil things Liu Jin did. Just let him go."

After speaking, Chang Feng handed all the memorials to Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong looked through the memorials.

Yang Yiqing was confused: "Among the Eight Tigers, apart from Liu Jin, only Gu Da is on your framed list?"

Chang Feng nodded slightly: "If Wei Bin, Qiu Ju, Ma Yongcheng and others are also on our framed list, then the emperor will never agree with Liu Jin's rebellion."

Yang Yiqing asked: "Why?"

Chang Feng said: "The eunuchs are the emperor's tool to suppress the civil servants. If we say that seven of the eight tigers are 'participating in rebellion', the emperor will not overturn a boat of people with one stroke. Liu Jin on the boat can follow and save his life. .”

"So, what I mean is that the Eight Tigers will keep the Six Tigers. From now on, the Six Tigers will be led by Eunuch Zhang, an upright and virtuous official."

"It is abominable to have the power of eunuchs alone, but it is also undesirable to have the power of civilian officials. Only by allowing internal and external dynasties to check and balance each other is the best policy."

Yang Yiqing nodded slightly: "Yes, I understand."

Zhang Yong is also a little confused: "Why is Zhang Cai's name included in the framed list but not Qian Ning's and Shi Wenyi's? They both betrayed you."

Chang Feng said: "No. Zhang Caicai really betrayed me. Qian Ning and Shi Wenyi are the most likely to follow the crowd. Liu Jin has power in the government and the public. If they don't follow, they will die."

"Besides, there is still money here to save the face of my husband and the old governor Shi Wenzhong."

Yang Yiqing said: "Okay. I will forge it first, oh no, imitate the treason letters of Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, and Liu Ji. You two go to find King Anhua."

Chang Feng and Zhang Yong came out of the study. Came to the room where King Anhua was imprisoned.

Qiu Yue was very attentive. To prevent King Hua from committing suicide, there were no tables or chairs in the room. A quilt was attached to the wall to prevent King Anhua from hitting the wall.

He also put an improved version of the "horse cage" on King Anhua's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

Chang Feng was shocked when he saw this: "Ah! Although His Highness has rebelled, he is still of Taizu's blood after all. How could Qiu Yue insult His Highness like this?"

After speaking, Chang Feng took off the horse cage from King Anhua's mouth.

King Anhua asked: "Who are you?"

Chang Feng said: "I am in Xiadongchang Changfeng. This is Governor Zhang of Dongchang."

King Anhua smiled and said: "Zhengde son really values ​​me! He sent Chang Butcher, the former Jinyi Guard, to escort me to Beijing."

Chang Feng said: "Yes, the emperor ordered me to serve His Highness when he enters the capital. I will take good care of His Highness along the way."

King Anhua sneered: "Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Isn't it just a case of execution after entering the capital? I don't regret it!"

"During the Hongwu Dynasty, everyone was a small sect. Both King Yan and King Qing were the kings of Sai. How could King Yan's line be able to seize the big sect through rebellion and dominate the world. But King Qing's line could only stay in Niaobula Are you going to eat sand and drink wind in the shitty northwest?"

Chang Feng raised his thumb: "Your Highness dares to do what he does, he is a true hero!"

King Anhua said: "No. I am not a hero. Qiu Yue is the real hero! I tried my best to raise an army of 60,000 people to defeat the thieves, but in the end I was defeated by him and a mere hundred servants."

"Qiu Yue, a famous general! He is simply Huo Qubing on a smaller scale."

Obviously King Anhua respected his opponent very much and was convinced of his defeat.

Chang Feng said: "According to the rules, I have to interrogate His Highness."

King Anhua said: "Please do it."

Chang Feng asked: "Why did Your Highness rebel?"

King Anhua said: "Firstly, I can't stand the fact that King Yan and his family dominate the world. Secondly, the treacherous eunuch Liu Jin talks about the Tianxian and controls the court. It disrupts the ancestral system that Taizu ordered that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. It destroys my country, Zhu Ming." "

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "That's not right."

King Anhua asked: "What's wrong?"

At this moment, Chang Feng and others suddenly heard the screams of women and the lewd laughter of men.

Chang Feng said: "Qiu Yue's gang of domestic slaves can fight, but they can't control what's in their crotch. Even the counter-rebellion imperial envoys have arrived, and they even humiliate the royal family members. They are simply a group of lawless wild donkeys."

"Your Highness, as far as I know you are a person who values ​​love and justice. Your love with Concubine Lin and Concubine Xu is as deep as the sea."

"Does Your Highness know what happened to the Song family's concubines and princesses after they fell into the hands of the Jin people after the Jingkang scandal?"

King Anhua frowned: "What do you mean?"

Chang Feng talked eloquently: "The Jin people built a Huanyiyuan, which was actually a military women's branch. They sent the clan girls to the Huanyiyuan to be prostitutes. Even Zhao Gou's mother, Queen Mother Wei, was among them."

"The Jin people also sent historians into Huanyiyuan and deliberately wrote the forty-year-old Empress Dowager Wei's reception process into the history books, insulting the Song Dynasty."

"In the history of the Jin Dynasty, Empress Dowager Wei received 105 guests a day. She was tortured to death by the Jin people."

King Anhua roared hysterically: "Why are you saying this?"

Chang Feng said: "According to the law, if the vassal king rebels, he will be executed in Lingchi. Ah, of course, if the rebellion is successful, it will be another matter."

"The female family members of the vassal princes are all punished as slaves and prostitutes. I am afraid that the imperial court will punish the women of your highness as slaves to the soldiers of the border army."

"You have been at the fortress for a long time, so you should know those wolf-like frontier soldiers better than I do. They are just a bunch of perverts."

"Concubine Lin, Concubine Xu, and more than thirty concubines and attendants. The future experience of the three princesses will probably be as miserable as the women of the Song Dynasty after the Jingkang Disgrace."

King Anhua is not stupid. He has already understood what Chang Feng said: "You want to make a deal with me?"

Chang Feng nodded: "Yes. She is the adopted sister of Empress Dowager Zhang and the adopted mother of Empress Xia. She still has some respect in front of the emperor."

"I can ask her to ask the emperor to protect the female family members of the Anhua Palace. But you have to agree to one condition."

King Anhua said: "Don't take off your pants and fart. Tell me, what are the conditions?"

Chang Feng said: "It's not that Liu Jin forced His Highness to rebel. It's that Liu Jin and His Highness cooperated inside and outside to conspire together!"

King Anhua was stunned: "You want to use me to frame Liu Jin?"

Chang Feng said: "Don't speak secretly in front of people. That's it. Isn't it also your highness's wish to get rid of Liu Jin?"

"You are bound to die. Why not take the person you want to kill as a backing before you die? By the way, you can also save the female family members of the palace. Why not?"

King Anhua remained silent. After drinking some tea, he spoke: "Okay. Just as you said, Liu Jin and I should be in harmony with each other." Chang Feng nodded: "Your Highness is worthy of being of the blood of Taizu, and he is indeed aware of current affairs. Next, I will teach you how to say it. It's you Details of colluding with Liu Jin to rebel."

"Please keep this in mind. When you go to the Jingzong Mansion and join the Sanfa Division to interrogate you, please confess as I said."

Two moments later, Chang Feng and Zhang Yong walked out of the room where King Anhua was imprisoned.

Zhang Yong sighed: "My Lord Chang, the way you act is too dirty. You actually used the royal family members to threaten King Anhua."

Chang Feng sighed: "Oh. What Jin Yiwei did is a dirty thing, and he used dirty methods. I can't clean it up in my life."

"Come on, let's go to the study room. Let's see how the forgery of Mr. Yang's letters turned out."

At this moment, Qiu Yue came over and said, "Master Chang, Eunuch Zhang, have you finished interrogating King Anhua?"

Chang Feng said: "Shuai Qiu, you have to restrain your servants. They are making too much noise to insult the women of the palace! They secretly shared King Anhua's money and then humiliated their women. It's too much." ?”

"Take them out of the palace immediately. The Yansui soldiers we brought will guard the palace."

Qiu Yue looked apologetic: "Yes, yes. These donkeys beat me. It's also my fault. The attack on the palace that night was extremely dangerous, and I almost escaped death."

"In order to boost their morale, I promised them to take down the palace and use the money and women as they please."

Chang Feng said: "A city as big as Anhua should have a brothel, right? You can spend some money on this kind of thing. It doesn't cost much. I guess all your servants now have thousands of taels in their pockets." of wealthy households.”

Qiu Yue said quickly: "Yes, yes. Come on, let our family of more than a hundred donkeys get out of the palace and go to Yichun Tower and Shuiyun Tower."

After giving the order, Qiu Yue asked Chang Feng again: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Chang, I remember you have a son. What official position is he currently in?"

Chang Feng replied: "What's wrong with the current Shuntian Prefecture Yin?"

Qiu Yue asked: "What's your last name?"

Chang Feng smiled and scolded: "Nonsense. Of course my son's surname is Chang, otherwise he can also be surnamed Qiu? His name is Po Nu, and he swears to destroy Japanese slaves. Why do you ask?"

Qiu Yue said with a smile: "Hey, don't worry about it. One stone, one skin, one girl, one girl? Po Nu, Po Nu, what a good name! You two will be busy, I will take the first step."

Chang Feng and Zhang Yong entered the study and found Yang Yiqing.

In just two moments, Yang Yiqing had already written six treason letters. Not only is the handwriting copied perfectly, but even the words and tone of voice echo the character of the person being framed.

Chang Feng read a few letters carefully and exclaimed: "What a good boy. Mr. Yang is really humiliating his talent by not being the general manager of Jin Yiwei to control the fabrication of false letters."

Yang Yiqing said: "Ashamed. If you want to bring down the traitor, you have to be more treacherous than the traitor. I have no choice but to do it."

"Speaking of Jinyiwei, if Liu Jin can be successfully defeated this time, there is a high probability that you, Chang Shuaiye, will regain control of Jinyiwei."

"Please treat all officials with compassion. Don't let Jinyiwei become the Yama Palace who framed Zhongliang and killed many people again."

Chang Feng nodded: "This is natural."

Yang Yiqing spent a long time writing twenty framed letters.

The three of them finished lunch in the study, and Qiu Yue came to them with a long list of meritorious services.

Qiu Yue presented the list: "Hey, Marshal Yang, please forward this list to the imperial court."

Yang Yiqing saw at a glance that there was something fishy in the list of meritorious deeds. However, he did not tell the truth, but said: "Okay. I will submit the original order."

He has been leading troops in the northwest for a long time, and he understands one truth: If you don't give these side generals some benefits, why should they risk their lives for you?

Especially after winning a battle, it is an established rule to include private individuals in the list of meritorious deeds.

Turning a blind eye is like turning a blind eye. There is no benefit in taking things seriously. Even if the battle is won, the court will not look into it carefully.

Yang Yiqing conveniently gave Chang Feng the list of meritorious deeds.

Chang Feng took a look and asked: "Who is this Qiu Luan? He has the same surname as you, is he from your family?"

Qiu Yue replied: "He is my eldest grandson."

Chang Feng frowned: "Dongchang has the bottom files of all generals of fourth rank and above. I even looked through them before going on the expedition. I remember that you only have a son, and you have no eldest grandson yet."

Qiu Yue smiled and said, "The moon has just been full."

Chang Feng was speechless: "It's really yours. My grandson who is just one month old has been added to the list. But... you deserve it."

Chang Feng continued to look at the list and found Chang Ponu's name on the seventh page of the list.

Chang Feng frowned: "Why is my son also included? He, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, is thousands of miles away, how can he contribute to suppressing the rebellion?"

Qiu Yue said in a pretentious manner: "Ah, this is a long story. Chang Fuyin is the son of your old boss. Just exchange letters with me if you have nothing to do."

"Last year, he wrote me a letter, saying that King Anhua was too ambitious and asked me to be careful. Only then did I take precautions against King Anhua. I ordered someone to check the height and thickness of the walls of Prince Anhua's palace in advance, and made an estimate. It’s easy to break through.”

"So, my success in raiding Anhua's palace at night and capturing the rebel king alive is due to your son's contribution."

"Isn't it reasonable that his name appears on the merit list?"

Chang Feng couldn't laugh or cry: "You are so stupid."

Yang Yiqing said: "My old enemy has shown his kindness, so you should be disrespectful."

Chang Feng thought: Everyone in the world regards Po Nu and Huang Yuan as Liu Jin's gang members. Liu Jin "participated" in King Anhua's rebellion. If they can appear on the list of those who have contributed to the counter-insurgency, it will help them to be clean.

Thinking of this, Chang Feng smiled and said: "Hey, I won't be polite. On behalf of Quanzi, I would like to thank Mr. Qiu for his kindness. Oh, by the way, I also have a brother-in-law named Huang Yuan. The shit-yellow Huang, Shouyuan's Yuan Dynasty. Currently the left minister of the Ministry of Rites"

Qiu Yue patted his head: "Hey, look at my dumb ass brain, what a memory! Why did I forget Huang Butang?"

"Huang Butang is the brother-in-law of my old boss. Wouldn't it be reasonable for him to correspond with me from time to time?"

"He once reminded me in his letter that King Anhua is a snake-hearted man and has always been plotting evil things. He asked me to take precautions in advance. If it weren't for his reminder, how could I have secretly trained my servants in martial arts, and how would I have succeeded in attacking Prince Anhua's palace at night? ?”

"Huang Butang is also a great hero in suppressing the rebellion!"

Qiu Yue, a rough guy, is not only good at fighting, but also good at being a good person. Very good.

Chang Feng added: "Chang Ponu and Huang Yuan also told you that they committed themselves to Liu Jin because they were in Cao's camp and their hearts were in the Han Dynasty. They penetrated into the eunuch party and probed for evidence that Liu Jin colluded with King Anhua to rebel. Right?"

Qiu Yue was cold: "King Anhua colluded with Liu Jin to rebel? Ah, yes, yes! Chang Shuai is right! That's what happened! My nephew Po Nu and Huang Yuan are lurking around Liu Jin Exploring the backbone of King Anhua’s conspiracy!”

Qiu Yue, the first hero in suppressing the rebellion, testified. It will be easier for Chang Ponu and Huang Yuan to clear themselves and draw a clear line with Liu Jin.

Zhang Yong couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out loud: "Old enemy, when it comes to fighting, I claim to be on equal footing with you. When it comes to being a human being, you are a hundred times better than me!"

Qiu Yue has a typical side general's temperament, and he won't do anything early if there is no advantage: "Eunuch Zhang is too praised. Oh, by the way, when Marshal Yang entered the city, he said, is it possible for me to be crowned uncle this time?"

Yang Yiqing understood immediately: "Don't worry. I will jointly propose to the emperor to make you an uncle with Eunuch Zhang! You led a hundred people to put down the rebellion of tens of thousands of vassals. You should be awarded the title of uncle for such extraordinary achievements."

Qiu Yue clapped his hands: "Ah! Okay! I want to be crowned uncle!"

When Chang Feng heard this, he almost subconsciously rounded his arms, slapped Qiu Yue's two big buttocks hard, and then scolded him: "Beast, what did you seal?"

But Chang Feng gave up this idea in an instant. Don't force the Chang family's academic origins on Qiu Yue's face.

This is the benefit of winning the battle. Whoever is said to have made meritorious service will have made meritorious service; whoever is said to have participated in rebellion will have participated in rebellion. You can also reach out to the court to ask for an official position or a title. The superiors will turn a blind eye to the women who spend a large sum of money on the enemy and play tricks on the rebels.
