Chapter 556: Breath of Darkness

Yang Shenjin stared at the list in front of him in a daze, frowned and thought for a while, and then slapped the pen in his hand on the table: "Dog gall rats"

He couldn't help but scold, because the list in front of him was the appointment and dismissal of new court officials, and some of his positions were replaced by Ye Chang, and some people who had a very good relationship with Ye Chang at the same time, like the original Dengzhou Sima Yuan Highway, entered the imperial court.

He is not jealous of other people's official positions, but he can't help but be jealous of his removal of his envoys, and he can now sit firmly in the court because of his financial management skills that make the Son of Heaven happy. Now that he has been removed from his position as a direct financial manager and only to be a dry household servant, everyone knows that this is a sign that his holy favor has been reduced

As long as someone can replace him, then it is time for him to step down. Yang Shenjin thought that he had been instigated by Yang Wei and Yang Qixuan before, and wanted to occupy Li Linfu's position, so he understood that if he stepped down, he would rest and have a recovery.

It is even possible to be disposed of by Li Linfu, even if he doesn't lose his surname like Wei Jian, he will go to a remote and poor state and county to wait for death like Wang Zhonghe, or even simply be thrown to Ye Chang's territory in Liaodong, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, just like Li Shizhi's stupid son.

He was in a fit of rage, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and he asked questions, and then he saw a group of sergeants rushing in, and holding him with swords and guns, and pinning him to the ground.

"Let go of me, let go of me, who else dares to trespass into the courtier's mansion without permission"

Yang Shenjin was shocked and angry, and this sudden change made him almost like in a dream. While he was scolding, he saw a man pacing unhurriedly and coming to his face

barely looked up, but saw Yang Zhao's slightly colored face.

Yang ...... Zhao"

Yang Shenjin took a breath of cold air, knowing that something was wrong. Yang Zhao is the servant of the imperial history, he brought the soldiers to the door, and without any warning, what does it mean

Sure enough, Yang Zhao took out the holy decree and began to read it. Yang Shenjin heard the charges in it, and immediately panicked, not only saying that he had asked Shi Jingzhong to look at his face and calculate whether he had the life of the Ninety-Five Emperor, but also said that he had secretly hidden the book and had bad intentions. Whichever of these two items is worn, it is a crime of raiding his house and destroying his family

"Yang Yushi, wronged, I want to see Your Majesty to state your grievances"

"Yes." Yang Zhao smiled: "As long as Your Majesty is willing to see you." ”

"I also asked Yang Yushi to go up to heaven for me to listen and tell me my grievances...... I have no intention of rebellion, those two charges are purely fabricated out of thin air to frame good people

Before the words fell, I saw someone striding over, but it was a clerk, and as soon as the man came in, he presented a wooden box: "I found it, and there is indeed a prophecy."

Yang Zhao opened the box, and it turned out to be a one-eyed stone man, Yang Zhao frowned and said, "What kind of prophecy is this?" ”

"Look behind you," the official said.

Yang Zhao turned to the back and looked again, but there were two rows of crooked handwriting on it: "The Yellow River stone man has one eye, provoking the world to boil." ”

"Sizzle, what a guts"

Yang Zhao took a breath of cold air and stared at Yang Shenjin, his face full of anger: "The court treats you well, and the sage is even more kind to your family, if it weren't for the court, you should be a miscellaneous slave on the desert, but you dare to do this."

Yang Shenjin was shocked and angry, and he didn't react at this time, but muttered: "I have never had this thing in my family, this ...... It's not something from my house......"

"Not your thing?" The official was furious: "This thing was found in your study, and there were five or six people present at that time, even one of the stewards of your family...... Bring that guy and confront Yang Shenjin, the prisoner."

I saw a person being pushed over, this person was full of panic, it was a steward of the Yang Mansion, he looked at Yang Shenjin, and said with tears in his eyes: "They are looking for this wooden box on the old man's bookshelf...... This matter is true, sir, you will admit it......"

Yang Shenjin was stunned, and sighed for a long time: "My family has never had such a thing, and suddenly coming here is the heavens that want to destroy me...... Yang Shilang, for the sake of your friendship with the court as an official, give me dignity, I ...... Although I am guilty, others do not know about it, please don't bother my family."

How could he not guess that someone must be doing something strange in all this, that there were more than a hundred servants and maids in his house, and that someone was quietly hiding a wooden box in his bookcase, how could he know?

Since the other party has done so carefully, then he will not be given a chance to get back, the only thing he can ask for is a happy and not affecting his family.

Yang Zhao smiled and glanced at the officer, who retreated with everyone, Yang Shenjin had lost his courage at this time, and although he was not restrained by the soldiers, he still knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.

Yang Zhao paced slowly for two steps, and then spoke: "This matter is important, Yang Shenjin, not only your family will be implicated, but I am afraid that your brother and widow sister will also be affected by this matter." ”

Yang Shenjin begged bitterly, Yang Zhao just ignored it, Yang Shenjin kowtowed like pounding garlic, Yang Zhao said: "Although I am not familiar with you, I also know that you are not completely without conscience, so where does this thing come from?" ”

He pointed to the wooden box, Yang Shen was stunned, how did he know where this thing came from. But after a while, he suddenly understood that Yang Zhao was going to take the matter seriously.

"This thing...... This thing ......"

"Yang Shenjin, do you want me to say it again?"

"I got it when I was dredging the Yellow River...... It was a man who offered it to me, and he had been beheaded and thrown into the Yellow River by me for disobeying the order......"

Yang Shenjin had to tell a nonsense about the origin, and as he spoke, tears rolled down.

It's just that Yang Zhao didn't see him and didn't sympathize with him at all: Yang Zhao and Li Linfu were still very close at this time, if Yang Shenjin really gained power, how could his way forward be smooth, after all, Yang Shenjin was not much different in age from him, but Li Linfu was dying. Moreover, Yang Shen calculated Ye Chang, almost wanting to put Ye Chang to death, if he lost Ye Chang's financial support, how could he be so easy

"What about this? I heard that there was something in the confession of the person who examined you, and after seeing this, a noble man said that you are unspeakably expensive, so you looked for Shi Jingzhong to see your face...... Who is this noble man? ”

Yang Shenjin was stunned again, and he realized that Yang Zhao's purpose was not only to make him convicted, but also to use him to pull his enemy off the horse

Who does Yang Zhao want to deal with?

Yang Shenjin's mind was turning, and he hesitated without answering, Yang Zhao saw that a lot of time had passed, and if he delayed like this, he was afraid that someone would be suspicious, so he said sharply: "Yang Shenjin, you have been guilty of the death penalty, and prosecuting others is the way to atone for your sins, that is, I can't save you, I can always save your family."

"I ...... I ......"

Yang Shenjin originally wanted to say that I can't bite innocents indiscriminately, but Yang Zhao rudely interrupted him and said, "Your widowed sister, you also want to send her to prison."

"I ...... I don't know...... I don't know who Yang Yushi is referring to, but I also ask Yang Yushi to remind me slightly......" Yang Shenjin was shocked, and then muttered.

"Nobleman, nobleman, which nobleman do you conspire with, with the intention of not favoring Li Xianggong, good or bad for the pillars of the court, so that you can seek the dynasty and seize the throne" Yang Zhao said.

Having said this, Yang Shenjin still didn't understand what Yang Zhao was referring to, it was nothing more than Yang Xun

"Li Xianggong really has good eyesight, good resourcefulness, and good means" He laughed a little sadly: "Why did I come so quickly... I thought that Lee Sang-gong was unwell, but I didn't think it was true or false, so I first tempted me to be greedy with my physical discomfort, and then I didn't notice it with my physical discomfort...... Okay, good, I'm not as good as others, I'm willing to bow to the wind, you say that nobleman, that's that nobleman, anyway, I can't escape death, so I will eliminate another enemy for Li Xianggong, just ask Li Xianggong to read this micro skill, spare my family a way to live, even if it is a trip to Lingnan...... No, if you can let them wander through Liaodong, Ye Chang will not treat them lightly."

He thought that all this was arranged by Li Linfu, because the whole method had a very distinct brand of Li Linfu, but Yang Zhao knew that the whole thing was held by Ye Chang behind his back. From fabricating charges to bribing and planting, Li Linfu didn't know anything, but when he heard that Yang Shenjin's final condition was actually when he exiled his family to Liaodong, his heart jumped, and he never thought that in Yang Shenjin's heart, Ye Chang still had a good reputation

"I knew that now, why did you deal with Ye Chang in the first place?" Yang Zhao said secretly in his heart, but he didn't say it. As soon as he clapped his hands, the clerk outside came in again, someone offered a pen and paper, and Yang Zhao pouted: "Yang Shenjin, write it yourself, this is not the result of torture by a certain family, but your own intention."

"Naturally," Yang Shenjin gritted his teeth.

He studied the ink and lifted the pen, and wanted to write, but he was sad from the heart, put the pen down again, looked up at Yang Zhao, and with the last trace of hope: "Can I be like Wang Zhonghe?" ”

"Impossible." Yang Zhao said coldly.

Wang Zhongsi was able to go to Sichuan to survive because Li Longji wanted to keep him alive, and except for Li Linfu, there were not many people who wanted Wang Zhongji to die. Yang Shenjin is different, he alone has more than ten envoy positions, and he may be the prime minister, blocking the way of many people. After gaining power in the past two years, he didn't know how to restrain himself, and even Wang Jie, who was related to him, was made resentful by him, and wanted to get rid of him quickly, let alone others

"Okay, good ......" Yang Shenjin sighed again, and then began to write.

Because of his agitated mood, his current font is far less than usual, and the writing is a little distorted. Yang Zhao saw that he was the most unusually minister, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Yang Shenjin is also a masterpiece of the moment, otherwise it is impossible to be an official to the household department, and he is only one step away from the position of prime minister." But once he lost power, he was like this, and he was like a lost dog, which is really sad and lamentable...... I must not have this saying."

He secretly decided in his heart that if he wanted to have no such thing, he must grasp the initiative, and if he wanted to grasp the initiative, he had to be like Li Linfu, who was in a high position above 10,000 people under one person

Yang Shenjin wrote out the self-confession according to Yang Zhao's meaning. His only hope now is to alleviate some charges for his family, so he took a lot of thought and took part of the charges himself, but he pushed a key charge of instigating his rebels to Yang Xun.

As for why Yang Xun didn't feel at ease to be his concubine, but wanted to participate in this kind of thing, Yang Shenjin didn't say anything and let Yang Zhao play it himself.

After getting this confession, Yang Zhao was very satisfied, and immediately called someone to come over and put Yang Shenjin in prison, reading that Yang Shenjin was still cooperative, and he also commanded, so that Yang Shenjin should be given the treatment he deserved.

He left Yang Shenjin's mansion by himself, and only then did he go out, when he saw a carriage coming, Ye Chang lifted the curtain, and asked with a smile, "Do you want a ride?" ”

"Good"

Sitting in Ye Chang's carriage, Yang Zhao praised it: "Eleven Lang will really enjoy it, this car is more comfortable than mine"

"It won't be long before I will sell these carriages in Chang'an, and Brother Yang can buy one to try at that time." Ye Chang said with a smile: "I won't send it if I send it, this is not better than before, after this incident, Brother Yang has to go up a liter to say the least, and I don't know how much it will rise." ”

He only gave Li Linfu one of these cars, and Yang Zhao's was an old one. Yang Zhao laughed: "Sure enough, the imperial court asked you to be in charge of the river work, that's really right."

At this time, the flood of the Yellow River was far less serious than that of later generations, and the most important duty in charge of river workers was to enable the grain and silk of the two Huai to be transported to Guanzhong for the use of the huge number of officials and citizens in Gyeonggi.

These few words of the two seem to be unrelated gossip, but they are actually the division of interests after confirming to the other party that the matter is done. Ye Chang asked calmly, "Have you recruited it?" ”

"As you expected, if you are completely recruited, Yang Wei will definitely not be able to get out this time." Yang Zhao's eyes flashed, and his voice lowered: "But this matter ...... Will Li Xianggong's side be dissatisfied, but we are acting under his banner and let him carry the black pot. ”

"After pouring Yang Shenjin, Li Xiang has no opinion on carrying two more black pots, not to mention, he has less black pots for others, how can he care about carrying some for us?"

Both of them immediately laughed, a little less in awe of Li Linfu and a little more ridicule.

"Where is Eleven Lang going this time?"

"Xingqing Palace, I have seen the saint, the matter of the river work, I have a plan, and I have to report it to the saint."

"So fast?"

Yang Zhao was surprised, but Ye Chang just smiled.

He didn't think it was any quick, in fact, he had already planned for the river workers. The Yellow River is now in winter, and it cannot be navigated because of the freeze, which has a great impact on the transportation of Datang, and also has a great impact on Ye Chang's plan to make money, so Ye Chang had a plan very early

Now it's just an official capacity to come up with this plan.

Their car soon arrived at Xingqing Palace, and after the ceremony, there was not too long a delay, and Li Longji summoned the two to meet each other. When they entered, they were greeted by a fragrant breeze, and the Yang sisters were about to leave, so the two sides met.

Ye Chang didn't have a good impression of the Yang sisters, and he was a little jealous of these girls, so he avoided them and didn't squint.

"Yo, isn't this Ye Shiyilang, tsk, I haven't seen him for a while, and I've grown more handsome, let my sister take a look...... No wonder our twenty-nine lords have taken a fancy to you, look at your face"

He didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble came to him, so he heard Second Sister Yang's coquettish voice, and a pair of flattering eyes flashed at him.
