Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 181 Noble anger erupts in silence

Zhao Ci performed an autopsy on Yang Lian with six silver needles.

Xiaoqi Zhao Ping reported to He Liu.They arrived in Wanping County in the afternoon, intending to make their way to the Yuelai Inn before continuing on their way.In order to prevent someone from poisoning Yang Lian, he specially sent a warrior to monitor the cook in the kitchen.

After the food was served, Zhao Ping and five other wrestlers sat on a table next to Yang Lian and stared at it.It is impossible for someone to find an opportunity to poison.

Zhao Ci put away the silver needle, groped around Yang Lian, and found a small porcelain bottle.

Zhao Ci said to He Liu: "Sixth brother, Yang Lian should have committed suicide!"

He Liu was surprised and said, "Suicide? How did you see it?"

Zhao Ci put the small porcelain bottle on the table, and said, "This Yang Lian died of being poisoned by Jiujiu."

Old Hu interrupted: "Dove wine? Is it the dove wine that is often mentioned in operas?"

Zhao Ci nodded: "The smell of dove wine itself is very unpleasant. But it is extremely poisonous, and even a drop of it in the intestines can kill a person's liver and intestines. But the bowl of porridge that Yang Lian drank seemed to be poured a whole A small bottle of dove wine! It smells like a bowl of feces! Even a fool would not drink this bowl of porridge. Unless—it was Yang Lian himself who poisoned himself, and he had already decided to die! He was not poisoned, but Take poison and kill yourself."

He Liu thought to himself: Yang Lian is too smart!
If Yang Lian died in the middle of his exile, no matter whether it was the common people, officials or the emperor, they would all think that it was Yan Song and his son who killed him!
In other words, Yang Lian was actually "framing" Yan Song and his son!
Old Hu said from the side: "Yang Lian is dead, I'm afraid something big will happen to the court!"

A day later, Yongshou Palace.

Lu Fang walked into the hall: "Report to the emperor, Yang Lian is dead."

Emperor Jiajing was meditating, when he heard the news, he suddenly opened his eyes: "Yang Lian is dead? How did he die?"

Lu Fang said: "He Liu of Jin Yiwei reported that he was poisoned and murdered."

"Boom~boom~" Emperor Jiajing threw the bronze chime in his hand out of the green gauze curtain.

The wrath of the emperor, laying down millions of corpses, blood flowing!
Emperor Jiajing walked up to Lu Fang and shouted in an extremely angry voice: "Could it be that those people can't tolerate a loyal minister?!"

Emperor Jiajing's anger was not actually because his loyal ministers were poisoned.

Thousands of memorials unanimously forced Emperor Jiajing to kill Yang Lian.Emperor Jiajing seized his official position and exiled him, which was not only a compromise to the strict party officials, but also a protection for Yang Lian.

I give you face.Forget Yang Lian's official, spanked his ass, and exiled him to Gansu.Are you satisfied?Don't make trouble with me anymore.

But Yang Lian was poisoned and killed, which shows that the strict party did not accept the compromise of the majestic king of a country!

This is a blatant challenge to the emperor's authority!
Lu Fang didn't dare to speak nonsense, he knelt down in front of Emperor Jiajing and kowtowed hurriedly.

Emperor Jiajing sneered: "Okay, very good! I am the emperor of Daming, and if I want to save someone's life, I still have to look at the faces of those people! In the end, I didn't save it! Very good!"

Regarding whether to get rid of Yan Song and his son, Emperor Jiajing has actually been hesitant.

He is an extremely intelligent emperor, but also an extremely selfish emperor.The world is not benevolent, and treats everything as a straw dog.In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, the people are just a number that can be more or less.

As long as no one disturbs my cultivation of immortals, as long as no one challenges my supreme power as the emperor.How you like to toss and toss in the court.

However, Yang Lian's death made Emperor Jiajing suddenly realize that Yan Song's power was big enough to make his dragon chair unstable!

The death of Yang Lian became the last straw that broke the camel's back.Emperor Jiajing finally made up his mind-it's time to get rid of Yan Song and his son!

Yan House.

Yan Song is sipping a cup of fragrant tea.

Yan Shifan walked in happily: "Father, great news! Yang Lian is dead! He was poisoned to death! This bastard has offended many people. If you let me know who did it, I will definitely thank him .”

Yan Song's reaction after hearing the words was not joy, but shock. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap", and the powder shattered.

"Father, what's the matter with you?" Yan Shifan asked in bewilderment.

Yan Song said: "Shifan, disaster is coming! Where is Yang Lian's body now?"

Yan Shifan said: "Jin Yiwei has transported his body back to his house in the capital."

Yan Song said: "You immediately take all the secret agents of the Prison Division of the Ministry of Punishment to Yang Lian's house! Don't let the court officials seek opportunities to make trouble in the name of worshiping him!"

Yan Shifan Zhang Er Monk was puzzled.A dead person, why should father be afraid?
Yan Song said angrily, "Hurry up!"

Yang's house.

Yang Lian's body was already placed in the willow coffin bought for 12 taels of silver.

Yang Lian's family had already gone to Qingzhou, Shandong, and no one gave him a funeral.

He Liu discussed with Lao Hu: "Master Yang's father, Yang Shoucheng, is a senior in our Jinyiwei. According to Jinyiwei's seniority, I am his brother of the same generation. Let me handle his funeral."

Old Hu nodded.

The two asked people to buy some paper figurines, paper horses, white cloth belts, joss sticks and paper money, and decorated the mourning hall.

The mourning hall was set up, but no one came to worship for a whole noon.

He Liu smiled wryly: "Yang Lian has been an official for [-] years. In the same department, colleagues, and bosses and subordinates who have worked together, there are not five hundred but three hundred! Now there is no one to pay homage to him. It is sad that a loyal minister has ended up in such a miserable way. Alas!"

Old Hu said: "It is said that people do not kill themselves. Now the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty think that it is Yang Lian who was poisoned by Yan Song and his son. Whoever comes to worship Yang Lian, is he an enemy of Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao? Who will be the first bird? Only us two Jinyi Taibao who have torn faces with Yan Song and Yan Shifan dare to send this loyal minister lying in the coffin."

Finally, a communication sounded from outside the door: "Wang Shizhen of Shandong Military Preparation Road, come to pay homage to the dead!"

Wang Shizhen walked to the gate of the mourning hall, took a white cloth belt from a strongman, and tied it around his waist. This is called "hanging filial piety".Only the closest relatives of the deceased would do this.

Wang Shizhen entered the mourning hall, and respectfully put three sticks of incense on Yang Lian.

He Liudao: "Wang Juntai, it's hard for you to take the risk of offending the elders and elders to pay homage to Lord Yang."

Wang Shizhen smiled bitterly: "The world is so big that there is no room for a loyal minister! Offend Yan Song and Yan Shifan? Oh, it is Yan Song and Yan Shifan who offended all people with conscience in the world!"

At this time, another communication sounded outside the door: "Yang Ming, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is here to pay homage to the undead!"

Yang Lian's immediate boss, Yang Ming, is an old pedant.Self-proclaimed leader of the Qingliu in the court.In recent years, he has neither turned to the strict party nor the eunuch party, and deliberately kept a distance from the Yuwang party.Because he abides by an old saying: a gentleman is not a party.

Although he did not join forces with traitors, he did not have the courage to openly fight against Yan Song and his son.

The news of Yang Lian's death reached Yang Ming's ears, and he suddenly woke up!He sighed to his wife: "Yang Qianyuan Shen Yansong's book is too correct! Since ancient times, loyalty and evil are not compatible. For so many years, I have been hiding from the strict party and not making enemies with them. Thinking about it now, I What a cowardly person! I'm not as good as Yang Qianyuan!"

The old pedant Yang Ming is no longer silent!He knows that whoever goes to Yang Lian's mourning hall to worship now is Yan Song's enemy—he will be Yan Song's enemy now!
There are not a few people who have the same idea as Zuodu Yushi Yang Ming.The communication outside the mourning hall sounded again and again: "Wang Yuanmei, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, come to worship the dead!"

"Wailang Jiang Kai, a member of the Department of Cleaning Officials in Yunnan Province, came to pay homage to the dead!"

"Tang Shunzhi, the head of the Ministry of War, is here to pay respects to the undead!"

"Tang Muyu, the right deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, come to pay homage to the undead!"

. . . . .

Those conscientious officials in the court have always been afraid of the authority of Yan Song and his son, and kept silent.Yang Lian's death made them no longer silent.

Because they knew that if they kept silent, they would not be able to escape the same ending as Yang Lian!

The noble anger finally broke out amidst the silence!
