Chapter 174: Suing the Officials with the People
Yang Tinghe glanced at his son who was kneeling on the ground, took a big stride, walked to the front of the Taishi chair, pressed the armrest, and after a while, he said quietly: "I thought you wouldn't come, the Tao is different, you should go to the Huguang Hall!" ”
Yang Shen was shocked, his father was so indifferent, it still hurt him very much.
"Child, the child wants to come and ask his father about something, only the father can give the child an explanation for this matter!"
Yang Tinghe turned his head suddenly, glared at Yang Shen angrily, and sneered, "What kind of thing are you, and you dare to let the old man give you an explanation?" You're too arrogant, aren't you? ”
Yang Shen took a deep breath, he raised his head, and said proudly: "Father, recently Wang Qiong entered Beijing, and he wantonly called the file, as if he was investigating a major matter!" Yang Shen stared at his father, as if he wanted to find the answer he wanted from his expression.
How do you know that Yang Tinghe's skills are profound, and he doesn't care at all.
"What is Wang Qiong doing, he can't hide it from me, he colluded with Jiang Bin Qian Ning in his early years, lost the face of the scholars, and now he is running to Wang Yue as a minion, he is simply a scum of the scholars, a shame of the Ming Dynasty...... By the way, you probably won't see it that way, after all, you're all in this together! ”
Yang Shen's body shook again.
He felt that he was very wronged, although Yang Shen accepted Wang Yue's invitation, served in the military department, and participated in the construction of the outer city, but Yang Shen did not express his position on the Great Rites from beginning to end, nor did he support Zhu Houxi on the issue of succession.
In Yang Shen's view, the most important thing is to do something practical...... After all, after more than a year of observation, combined with previous experience, Yang Shen found that there are really too many problems with Daming's ears, and there are countless accumulated malpractices, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, no place is clean.
It's so boring to be messing around with all this mess at this juncture.
But the current situation is no longer like this, all the officials are like crazy, either/or, in the question of succession or succession, there are only two choices, and there is not even the right to be silent.
In particular, the Liuke Corridor has become the source of this kind of political trend, they force all the yamen to express their position, and hope to use everyone's strength to force the new monarch to bow his head.
Yang Shen felt more and more that being obsessed with this kind of thing had no value at all.
But even his father, who has been an official for 50 years, is immersed in it and can't extricate himself, which is really helpless.
"Father, do you know that Wang Qiong is investigating the cause of Emperor Xian's death?"
Yang Shen simply had a showdown with his father.
The corners of Yang Tinghe's mouth turned up, and he asked rhetorically: "Do you also think that your father is a great traitor who killed the king and killed his father?" Don't forget, when the first emperor was seriously ill, you were also in the mansion, what did you do for your father, you can see it clearly, do you think your father can kill the first emperor? ”
Yang Shen's expression was solemn, and his brows were twisted together, revealing strong struggle and pain.
Indeed, since Zhu Houzhao returned to the capital, he has been in the mansion, and Yang Tinghe has not hidden anything from him.
Capture Jiang Bin, set up Zhu Houxi as the king, welcome the emperor into Beijing, and even plan the big ceremony, Yang Shen knows very well. He even understands very well that his father also has difficulties, he was kidnapped by the people below, and he had to do it as a last resort.
But this time, the gunpowder explosion made Yang Shen have a different mind.
"Father, if you don't know, you can't do it unless you do!"
Syllable!
Yang Tinghe slammed the table, pointed at Yang Shen, and scolded angrily: "Rebel! Since you suspect the old man, then go to the book to impeach! Don't worry, when you destroy the Nine Clans, you won't be implicated! Your father has expelled you from the door of the Yang family, and from now on, you are not a member of the Yang family! ”
"Father!" Yang Shen was stunned by Yang Tinghe's desperation, he glared at his father angrily, and was heartbroken.
"Daddy! The child just wants to remind you not to make a mistake again and again...... After all, there are some things that you can't go back from once if you do it once! ”
After Yang Shen finished speaking, he lay on the ground, kowtowed three times, and then got up and left, never saying anything more.
But Yang Tinghe was shocked and almost fell.
The old man found out that he had made a big mistake!
An incorrigible mistake.
Wang Gongchang's explosion, in the eyes of many people, is a plan to kill the king, at least the people around Jiajing think so. And there is only a difference between zero and countless times of killing kings.
If this time it is true, then Zhengde's death must have been done by him, there is no reason to talk about it at all, and don't try to deny it, no one will believe him.
Unconsciously, he dug a deep pit for himself.
Yang Tinghe leaned on the Taishi chair, and the whole person fell into panic, he had already dug a bottomless pit for himself.
This time the ministers persecuted the Son of Heaven, even if Zhu Houxi bowed his head, what could he do? In the heart of the Son of Heaven, as long as he believes that he is a rebel minister who kills the king, he will not be able to escape the fifteenth day of junior high school.
As long as you find an opportunity, the Son of Heaven will take revenge.
Just relying on the identity of the first assistant, he will never be able to protect himself.
In other words, he and the Son of Heaven can no longer coexist.
If you can't depose the emperor, you will definitely die, and the end will be very, very miserable.
What should we do now?
Do you have to really kill the king?
In the past, Yang Tinghe didn't think about it, but this kind of thing must be pushed along the river, not forced, because once it is forced, it will leave a handle, and one day, it will definitely die.
But now, it is better to die one day than to be crushed immediately!
Yang Tinghe sat for most of the night and finally made up his mind.
"Go, send this letter to the cigarette pouch diagonal street, and hand it over to the people in the palace with your own hands."
After the henchman butler took it, he immediately set off.
Yang Tinghe was about to go to the court, but it was too late to sleep, so he could only wipe his face with some well water. The cold water stimulated the old man and couldn't help but shiver, and a strong chill came out of his back. An old man of his age, if he wasn't in the first place, would have been at home for a long time, teasing his grandson, and sleeping until he woke up naturally.
What a day of the gods that it should be!
Now he has to get up early and go to bed late, and he has tried his best to make the father and son separate, and the master and apprentice turn against each other...... What is this for? Fifty years of Huan Hai career in exchange for such a result.
It's really sad and lamentable!
With full of helplessness, Yang Tinghe sat in a sedan chair and came to the noon gate.
At this moment, the sky has just brightened, and Yang Tinghe doesn't remember how many times he has been to the morning court. But he had a strong feeling that this was probably the most difficult time for him.
When Shoufu's sedan chair arrived, only the scholar Jiang Mian came to greet him, and the other important ministers did not come over.
This is another alarming sign.
Although those people still follow Yang Tinghe, they have been shocked by the power of the Son of Heaven, and what is especially surprising is that Lin Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhang Zilin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, did not move.
Could it be that this is falling apart, and the tree is falling apart?
Yang Tinghe didn't have time to think about it, so he could only follow the eunuch who led the way and walked into the Fengtian Palace.
Today Zhu Houyu came very early, even earlier than the ministers, he was waiting in the Fengtian Palace, when the ministers entered, Zhu Houyu couldn't wait to appear, sat on the dragon chair, and accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials.
The ministers are all thinking about how to make trouble, but as the Son of Heaven, he still has the initiative.
And Zhu Houxi plans to give full play to this initiative, which is a strategy that he has been thinking about for a long time before deciding.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am uneasy when I read the joint complaint of the victims of the Wang Gongchang bombing. Since Taizu created the foundation, my Ming Dynasty has passed to me, after the eleventh emperor, the holy virtue is like the sky, far away Yao Shun, there has never been such a cruel and harmful behavior of the people, I am really sad, so I decided to let the three law divisions try this case! Send the two brothers Ye Guilan and Ye Guizhang to the lobby, confront the victimized people, and give the people justice, what do you think? ”
As soon as these words came out, many people felt that something was bad and bad!
Zhao Jian, the secretary of Dali Temple, immediately said: "Your Majesty, Ye Guizhang is an official of the imperial court, and Ye Guilan is also a prisoner of the country, let them go to court against the people, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" ”
Zhu Houxi said with a calm face: "What's wrong?" Are you trying to say that it's a matter of decency, and you can't insult Sven? Right? ”
Zhao Jian hurriedly said: "No, no, the minister didn't mean that, the minister was worried, they talked nonsense, talking about the succession and heir at will, the people don't know why, it will affect Your Majesty Shengming!" ”
Zhao Jian's words were immediately echoed by several officials, and national affairs could only be discussed in the temple, and how could a group of ignorant people be involved.
At this moment, Wang Yue suddenly smiled dumbly, "Lord Zhao, do you think that the people of the world are also people who don't distinguish between right and wrong?" You have underestimated the wisdom of the people! ”
