Ask for a commuter pass

**

Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing would soon abandon him completely, although they summoned him to the palace that day, and their attitude towards him was very generous, and they also protected him everywhere. Empress Dowager Han also hinted at him that he was temporarily suspended, but it was just to calm down the discussion of the government and the opposition. As long as the rumors pass, he will be reinstated.

After all, he is a figure of the Queen Mother's faction and a confidant of the Queen Mother.

And if the wind passes, there is no need to wait too long. Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing gave Prince Su a time limit to solve the case, which was only one month. And the fraud case in the early years of Longqing, not to mention a month, is a year or two years, as long as the Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing set up some obstacles slightly, this case will not be solved at all.

There is no other reason, Empress Dowager Han is the real mastermind of this case.

Even after so many years, Yang Tingyu can still clearly recall the events of that day.

Emperor Longqing announced the opening of Enke at the imperial meeting, and all the civil and military officials agreed in unison. Immediately afterwards, Emperor Longqing appointed Lu Ge Lao as the chief examiner of this examination, and he was also appointed as one of the same examiners.

He was still in the Ministry of Rites at the time, and such an errand could be said to be an honor for him. It seemed to symbolize that Emperor Longqing had regarded him as his confidant.

He was secretly proud in his heart, proud of the few things he did during Emperor Longqing's accession to the throne, and it seemed that it was the few things he did to please Emperor Longqing.

And when he came down from the court and returned to the palace, before he could take off his clothes and change his clothes, the lieutenant officials in the palace arrived. When Zhongguan came, it was not the will of Emperor Longqing. It is the decree of the Empress Dowager Han.

He didn't dare to slack off at all, and immediately followed the lieutenant to see the Empress Dowager Han.

Maybe others don't know it yet, but he sees it very clearly. Empress Dowager Han is a woman with political ambitions and means. He would rather offend Emperor Longqing than offend this Empress Dowager Han.

When he arrived in front of the Empress Dowager Han, the Empress Dowager Han treated him very kindly.

Empress Dowager Han asked him a lot of words, and said that she had noticed him a long time ago, saying that after so many years, with his talent, he could be regarded as buried. Empress Dowager Han even said jokingly in the end. She thinks that with his talents, he can be an assistant to the cabinet, and he should do better than the current cabinet elders.

It's a pity. When Emperor Daxing was alive, except for Xie Liuyuan and Uncle Han, there was an old Lu Ge in his eyes, and he didn't notice him.

Empress Dowager Han also asked him casually. said that he heard that he and Lu Ge Lao were very good friends.

Having said these words. Empress Dowager Han looked at him fixedly.

He guessed the intention of the Empress Dowager Han almost immediately, because he was indeed good friends with Lu Ge, and Lu Ge Lao once complained to him when he was drunk, saying that the Empress Dowager Han had the ambition to monopolize power and interfere in the government.

Moreover, the relationship between Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Daxing has long been broken, and the two have always been inseparable.

That time when he was drunk, Lu Ge Lao still cried in front of his good friend. Lu Ge Lao was crying for Emperor Daxing. Although the meaning of the words was vague, he was particularly attentive. I still guessed a shocking secret from that few words.

That's definitely a secret that the head is lost and the family is going to die.

When Lu Ge woke up later, he regretted it very much, he didn't seem to remember what he had said when he was drunk, but he was somewhat suspicious, so he specially came to him to ask. Of course, he wouldn't tell the truth, but just used other words to answer the old Lu Ge branch.

Thinking of this, he realized that although the words of Empress Dowager Han and him today seemed ordinary, if he was not careful, he might bring death to himself.

He replied to the Empress Dowager Han, thanks to Lu Ge Lao who looked up to him, and he and Lu Ge Lao have always been friends.

Empress Dowager Han laughed, ordered someone to reward him with a lot of things, and let him go back.

This time, Empress Dowager Han summoned him, ostensibly to buy the hearts of important ministers of the imperial court for Emperor Longqing.

And back in the mansion, he looked at the things that Empress Dowager Han had rewarded, and he stayed awake almost all night. He knew that Empress Dowager Han would look for him again soon. At that point, he will have to make a choice.

There are two paths in front of him, one will make him soar, and the other is that his efforts over the years have been wasted.

For him, it's no choice at all. Although he knew very well that the road to prosperity would be paved with the blood of Lu Ge Lao's head and neck.

As he expected, Empress Dowager Han soon summoned him again.

He and Empress Dowager Han can be said to hit it off.

With the backing of Empress Dowager Han, he is a good friend of Lu Ge Lao, Lu Ge Lao never guarded against him, and never imagined that he would frame him, everything went smoothly and abnormally.

In the early years of Longqing, the court was reshuffled, and many of Empress Dowager Han's henchmen occupied important positions, and he also rose to the top, taking this opportunity to secretly arrange a lot of henchmen and eyes and ears for himself and the Xie family.

And it was from then that the Empress Dowager Han officially grasped the authority of the imperial court, although she was only in the harem and did not go to the court to hear it, but almost all important decrees came from Cining Palace, not Qianyuan Palace.

Emperor Longqing remained silent during that planning. But he knew that Emperor Longqing knew everything that the Empress Dowager Han had planned.

Emperor Kolong adopted a resigned attitude to this. Only in the end, when he knew that the old Lu Ge would be executed and the old Lu Ge family would also be confiscated, did Emperor Longqing speak.

Emperor Longqing wanted to save the lives of Lu Ge Lao and his family.

However, at that time, there was no way back, and Emperor Longqing, as the emperor, could not save the lives of the old Lu Ge family.

Now, Qin Zhen and Qi Younian want to check him, and they are also the first Emperor Longqing not to stop him.

Even so, he wasn't too alarmed at the time. There is also the Empress Dowager Han, the Empress Dowager Han will protect him, and Emperor Longqing has to listen to the Empress Dowager Han. Moreover, he also has Qin Lin.

hooked up with Qin Lin, or recently, after he discovered Ji Xiaotang's threat.

He told Qin Lin about his doubts about the Ji family's background. Originally, he did not intend to reveal this secret, because he wanted to keep the benefits involved in this secret for himself.

But Ji Xiaotang's threat was too great, so he could only give up this secret. In exchange for Qin Lin, an ally.

The life experience of the Ji family, even Qin Lin couldn't be moved when he heard it. And Qin Zhen should know Qin Zhen's life experience of the Ji family. But he used Li Daitao's strategy to protect the Ji family.

Qin Zhen's plan is not small.

Qin Lin would never let Qin Zhen succeed, or that he and Qin Zhen had the same intentions, so naturally they couldn't let go of the Ji family.

Several forces are tug-of-war, and the more complicated the situation, the safer he will be.

However, he didn't expect that Qin Lin would turn his face with him. Seeing that Qin Lin and Qin Zhen came to raid his mansion together, although the two still didn't agree on their faces, he knew it immediately. These two men are joining forces.

Qin Lin no longer protects him, Qin Zhen and Qi Younian must put him to death, and Emperor Longqing is swaying. There is only one Empress Dowager Han.

To protect yourself. Empress Dowager Han will soon abandon him.

At that time, it was his end.

You can't sit still.

Yang Ge Lao opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of light.

The person who confiscated it, gave him a fig leaf, did not touch him, nor touched his family, and nominally said it was very decent, but these fooled others. But they couldn't fool him.

He himself knew best that the edifice was going to fall. He's at the end of his rope. If he is nostalgic for this edifice that will soon collapse, he will also be shattered.

Although the hard work of a lifetime has been ruined like this, the green mountains left are there, and I am not afraid of no firewood.

Moreover, he has one last secret.

With that secret in hand, as long as he escapes from the capital, when the war is in chaos, he can go to seclusion wherever he goes, or go to sea by boat, he can also have a free life for the rest of his life, and it is more expensive than a prince.

"It's just this big ......"

He still has this big family, and there is no way he can take them with him. And, if they knew the truth, would they be willing to go with him?

He is also going to give up this big family.

But......

"Someone is ......coming," Yang Ge sat up straight on the Taishi's chair and called a confidant to come, "Go and ask the eldest master to come and talk." ”

……

At the same time, Cining Palace

Emperor Longqing sat opposite the Empress Dowager Han, leaning back on the back of the chair, squinting slightly, his pale face was bloodless, and he seemed to be asleep.

Just as the Empress Dowager Han Han was talking to him, she fell asleep.

Empress Dowager Han endured it and seemed to be waiting for Emperor Longqing to wake up by himself, but after a while, Emperor Longqing showed no signs of waking up, but seemed to be really asleep.

"Your Majesty......" Empress Dowager Han finally couldn't help it, coughed dryly, and called Emperor Longqing.

"Hmm......" Emperor Longqing moved slightly in the chair, and then slowly lifted his eyelids, but looked at the dripping of a foot in the hall, "Queen Mother, the hour is not early......

Seeing the meaning of Emperor Longqing's words, he actually wanted to say goodbye.

But what she had to say to Emperor Longqing hadn't finished yet.

"Your Majesty, where did we go?" Empress Dowager Han didn't wait for Emperor Longqing to continue, so she asked.

"Hmm......" Emperor Longqing hesitated, "Where did the queen mother just go?" ”

Empress Dowager Han sighed.

"Just now, the mourning family is discussing the matter of Yang Ge Lao with His Majesty, and Dali Temple has sent a lot of documents today......"

Emperor Longqing didn't speak, and looked like he was listening.

"Your Majesty has also seen it, may I ask what your Majesty is planning?"

"The queen mother will do what she should do."

"What to do with it now, I'm afraid I can't help but mourn my family!" Empress Dowager Han's tone was complaining. "I knew that today, Your Majesty really shouldn't have ...... in the first place"

If Emperor Longqing hadn't spit out that day and agreed with Qin Zhen and Qi Younian to investigate the fraud case in the early years of Longqing, she would not have been as passive as she is today.

"For such a big event, Your Majesty should hold ......off in the court for a while," and then come back to discuss with her and make a decision.

In the past, Emperor Longqing did this. Therefore, this time, Emperor Longqing repeatedly said that he was forced to be pressured and really couldn't do anything, and she didn't believe it.

"Your Majesty......" Empress Dowager Han looked at Emperor Longqing, her eyes were very complicated. Is Your Majesty still haunted by the events of that year? ”

"Queen Mother, the past is over, I don't want to mention it again." Emperor Longqing said coyly.

Emperor Longqing can be said to be in the prime of life, but he does not have the spirit that a man in his prime should have, especially in front of the Empress Dowager Han in private, and he always looks like this.

Empress Dowager Han was also helpless about this.

"Your Majesty is still blaming the mourners." Empress Dowager Han's voice was painful, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"The Queen Mother. I didn't. I have said that it is useless to talk about the past. "Emperor Longqing has a gentle attitude. But I didn't see how I was moved by Empress Dowager Han's actions.

"What happened back then, mourning the family was also a last resort. Who would have thought ......" When Empress Dowager Han said this, she saw Emperor Longqing close her eyes again. Empress Dowager Han immediately stopped talking.

Emperor Longqing seems to be gentle, but if he really makes up his mind, no one can say anything.

"Who would have thought that this Yang Tingyu turned out to be a nail planted in the court by the thief, and we were all deceived by him!"

Emperor Longqing still didn't speak. But the eyes slowly opened.

"Yang Tingyu can't stay, but he is an old man, but he has become a thief. If it is propagated, it will hinder the Great Qin State ......"

"Then, according to the mother's will......"

"Give him a poison bar."

Empress Dowager Han meant to end this matter.

Emperor Longqing knew. Empress Dowager Han said what about the state system of Great Qin. In fact, I was just worried that if Dali Temple tried Yang Gelao's case, it would involve the inside story of the case at that time.

Then, it will inevitably involve the Empress Dowager Han herself.

Empress Dowager Han is not afraid that someone will come to treat her crimes, but with such a suspicion, she will be rejected by the world's scholars. Those who read books can do everything.

Emperor Longqing did not raise objections.

Give Yang Ge Lao poisonous wine, get rid of Yang Ge Lao, the most heart-wrenching person. It is none other than the Empress Dowager Han.

To give Yang Ge Lao death, Empress Dowager Han did not make a decree. Instead, he arranged for his henchmen to secretly send poisoned wine into the Yang Mansion. The man not only sent the poisoned wine, but also brought a few words to Yang Ge Lao.

Empress Dowager Han meant to let Yang Ge commit suicide.

Yang Ge Lao committed suicide, and many truths were forever annihilated underground.

"Originally......" Empress Dowager Han sighed, and her face slowly became gloomy. Originally, she also wanted to keep Yang Ge Lao for another purpose, if not......

If it weren't for Qin Lin and Qin Zhen pressing too hard......

"The little Erlang of the year has grown up now." Empress Dowager Han muttered to herself, her eyes cloudy.

Emperor Longqing didn't hear what Empress Dowager Han said clearly, but his eyes widened in vigilance, and a pair of pale hands clenched the armrest of the chair.

Empress Dowager Han's secret envoy arrived at the Yang Mansion, but did not find Yang Ge Lao.

Yang Ge Lao and his sons Yang Shao, Sun Yang Xuanrang and others did not know where to go.

The people of the Yang family were also taken aback, and they didn't know when Yang Ge Lao and his party disappeared and where they went.

The secret envoy immediately returned to the palace and reported the accident to the Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing.

Empress Dowager Han was shocked.

"Isn't it ......"

Yang Ge is always the leader of the anti-thieves, and he is also in collusion with the barbarians in the north, and if he suddenly escapes, then the capital will be in danger!

"The mourning family is wrong about this dog thief!"

Empress Dowager Han was a little anxious, and summoned people into the palace overnight, asking what was going on, and sending people to chase Yang Ge's old father and son. Among these people who were summoned into the palace, there was no Qin Zhen or Qin Lin, but Qi Younian was summoned into the palace.

Empress Dowager Han's attitude towards Qi Younian is much better than that of other henchmen, in addition to being important, a little more cordial as an elder.

Qi Younian is now in the capital, except for the pro-military lieutenant around him, he has no soldiers and horses in his hands. All the generals who are outside with heavy troops in their hands are treated like this when they return to the capital.

Originally, the errand of chasing the Yang family's father and son should not have been looking for Qi Younian. But Empress Dowager Han has high expectations for Qi Younian, a rising star.

"The mourning family will give you a soldier and horse, and then send someone to assist you, you go and catch Yang Tingyu's old thief back to the mourning family, life and death do not matter!" Empress Dowager Han instructed Qi Younian.

Qi Younian naturally received his life.

What Empress Dowager Han assigned to Qi Younian was a royal forest army.

Several groups of people were sent out here, and neither Empress Dowager Han nor Emperor Longqing rested, but only waited for news in Cining Palace.

As for how Yang Tingyu escaped, no clues have been found yet.

The person responsible for surrounding the Yang Mansion and watching the old family of Yang Ge is the people of Dali Temple, and the leader is Feng Changshuo's aunt and cousin, and naturally he is also the confidant of the Empress Dowager Han.

Originally, Qin Zhen was in charge of investigating the case, since it was found on Yang Ge Lao's body, Qin Zhen should also assign someone to deal with this matter, but Empress Dowager Han was not at ease to hand over Yang Ge Lao to others, or it can be said that she was especially worried about handing it over to Qin Zhen, so she let the people of Dali Temple intervene in it and arranged her own henchmen.

But these henchmen of hers didn't look at the people she wanted to see, and they all ran away, and these people didn't know how they ran.

This is also why, chasing Yang Ge Lao's errand, she will deliberately transfer Qi You's year.

Even if her people can't catch Yang Ge Lao, with Qi Younian's talent and understanding of the terrain near the capital, they will definitely be able to catch Yang Ge Lao.

The best, what Qi Younian captured was a dead Yang Ge Lao, so it would be a hundred.

With Qi Younian's intelligence, he should be able to understand what she means.

Empress Dowager Han is very optimistic about Qi Younian.

……

At this moment, Yanhuatang and Ji Xiaotang knew the news of Yang Ge Lao's escape as soon as possible.

"I did." Ji Xiaotang got up in his clothes, let Jin'er and Xiu'er take the lamp, and got up.

It was Cheng Dazhong who came to deliver the news, he sent the news and did not leave, but waited outside the curtain for Ji Xiaotang to ask. Ji Xiaotang asked Yang Ge Lao about the details of his escape, and Cheng Dazhong told him everything he knew.

What method did Yang Ge always use to escape, and it is still under investigation. At present, what everyone knows is that when Yang Ge Lao fled, he didn't bring any gold and silver, it seems that he only took his children and grandchildren, and two henchmen.

There were not many people taken away by Yang Gelao, but there were many corpses left behind.

The bodies he left behind were not his family, but some of the people he served. Obviously, those people were Yang Ge Lao's henchmen, and Yang Ge Lao didn't want to take them away, so he killed them.

"It's good to escape, don't be afraid of him running away, just afraid that he won't run away." Ji Xiaotang nodded slowly and said, she knew where Yang Ge Lao had fled.
