Chapter 195: Yang Wei's Case (3)

???????? The words of the Son of Heaven made the two people in the hall think together. Wang Zhang's eyes lit up slightly, as if he saw a hint of change, Wang Jingchong's face was normal, maintaining a respectful posture, and he looked like a loyal dog of the Son of Heaven.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty's meaning?" Tentatively, Wang Zhang asked Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou obviously had a plan, and without thinking, he looked at Wang Zhang and ordered: "Yang Wei's car has been returned for nearly a month, and this matter is indeed not good to drag on any longer." Yang Wei has a special identity, and there is no suitable person for me to think hard about the question. Now that I think about it, I want Wang Qing to be responsible for this matter, and I want to use Wang Qing's uprightness to uphold the public heart! ”

The Son of Heaven's plan surprised Wang Zhang, and he couldn't help but guess his intentions. However, a tangled look quickly passed over his face, and he responded cautiously: "Minister's order!" ”

"Before and after Wang Shilang learned about this case, he supported Wang Qing from the side!" Liu Chengyou pointed to Wang Jingchong again.

Hearing the order, Wang Jingchong immediately bowed down and said, "Yes!" ”

"That's right!" With a flash of his eyes, Liu Chengyou looked at Wang Zhang again, and his tone was a little stern: "Don't bother the two masters, on the Yang family's side, Wang Qing will explain it, they are running around Tokyo during this time, disturbing people's hearts, and let them be in peace!" ”

The second minister retreated, sitting behind the high imperial case, Liu Chengyou stared at Wang Zhang's old and abnormal back, and his expression gradually converged.

Wang Zhang's performance today, although his face is unharmed, Liu Chengyou is really dissatisfied in his heart!

For a long time, Wang Zhang was estranged from Yang Wei of the township party, and that was during the most tense period of conflict between Liu Chengyou and Yang Wei. At that time, Yang Wei was in charge of the government and Wang Zhang was in charge of the wealth, if the two were "colluding" as always, then it would cause more trouble to Liu Chengyou, and the progress of Liu Chengyou's seizure of power would be even slower.

Later, with Wang Zhang's conscientiousness, not avoiding messages, not hesitating fame, doing his best for the country, and managing the difficult finances of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chengyou also admired him.

However, at this moment, forgetting Wang Zhang's merits and hard work, Liu Chengyou has only one thought, after all, he is not a person with the same heart as himself......

Suppressing the small unhappiness in his heart, Liu Chengyou put away his thoughts, picked up a stack of pieces from the case, and flipped through them casually, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his face gradually showed a playful look.

These concerts have one thing in common, that is, they are all impeachments of the courtiers and officials against Yang Wei's various "crimes". In the imperial court, there is never a shortage of "shrewd people" who see the wind and rudder, and interestingly, many of these people are former officials of the Yang family!

Originally, Liu Chengyou was still suspicious of Yang Wei, for fear of causing chaos in the court, but after returning to Beijing, he carefully watched the reactions of the courtiers, and that heart quickly settled down. He looked down on Yang Wei's influence, this is not a peaceful and prosperous era after all, in the era when martial arts were in power, Yang Wei, a civil servant, even if he was the founder of the country, how much weight could he have?

Raising his hand and pinching the root of his nose that was a little sour, Liu Chengyou is now thinking about how to deal with Yang Wei and how to end the matter. In any case, Yang Wei's matter has already set off a political storm, and he can ignore the thoughts of most people, but he can't help but be careful to appease Wang Zhang and Guo Wei, who are still the powerful ministers of Hedong.

And Wang Zhang's performance has already given a wake-up call!

Stepping out of the Chongzheng Palace, Wang Zhang stayed in front of the hall for a while, with a gloomy expression on his pale face.

Sensing the intention of the Son of Heaven, Wang Zhang's mood became heavier and heavier. The corners of his mouth curled up in a bitter arc, thinking about the activities of the Yang family mentioned by the Son of Heaven, if Yang Wei really rebelled, his family was afraid that it would be taken down by a net.

And let himself ask Yang Wei, Wang Zhang didn't feel that this was selling his face......

"What are you thinking?" Wang Jingchong's voice rang in his ears respectfully.

When he turned his head, Wang Jingchong's face was flattering, and in Wang Zhang's eyes, he always felt that there was a sense of yin. Without hiding his disgust, Wang Zhang said in a mocking tone: "I'm thinking, Wang Shilang is loyal, it's rare in the world!" ”

His expression froze, and the ruthlessness in his eyes quickly disappeared, Wang Jingchong lowered his head, as if he didn't know what he meant, and said: "The prince has praised it falsely, and the officials really don't dare to be it." As a monarch and a citizen, he should be loyal to his duties, and in the case of Yang Wei's rebel thief, if the minister has orders, the lower officials will do their best to help, and they dare not slack off! ”

"Humph!" only responded with a cold snort, and Wang Zhang brushed his sleeves away.

Similarly, Wang Jingchong also snorted coldly, and after he walked away, he muttered to himself: "The old puppet insulted me, Yang Wei has fallen, how long can you be rampant, hehehe......"

In the southwest of the imperial city, close to the Yamen of the Wude Division, is where the Han Imperial Prison is located, and the prison is dense and heavily guarded. After Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, he was committed to leniency and simplification, and the Kaifeng government has been screening unjust cases and cleaning up the prisons, while the edict prison has been used even less.

The huge prison is not as terrifying as it literally feels, the environment is not cold and damp, and there are no horrific torture instruments, but it is quiet, and the silence is depressing and terrifying.

As the highest-ranking and most powerful prisoner before entering the prison, Yang Wei enjoyed the strictest guards, and since entering this territory, no outsiders have been able to come into contact with him.

Although the cell is not large, it is very clean, only a little mess, surrounded by copper walls and iron walls, and there is little light. Yang Wei stayed here silently, his eye sockets were deep, his stubble was raised, his face was haggard, and his body was obviously much thinner than before. Obviously, although he was not tortured, his life in prison was always difficult, especially for Yang Xianggong, who was once high and powerful.

The iron inlaid cell door was opened with great difficulty, and a few rays of sunlight that were not bright leaked in like water, for Yang Wei, it was a little dazzling, and he subconsciously raised his hand to shield the light and slowed down, only to see Wang Zhang, who was dressed in an official robe and left the door.

Noticing Wang Jingchong behind Wang Zhang, a wave of anger surged into his heart, and he looked cold. But soon retracted his gaze,

Smelling the inevitable smell of decay in prison, looking at his old friend, stubbornly standing upright, looking at himself, although he was strong, but the embarrassment between his attitudes could not be concealed.

Sighing slightly, Wang Zhangyi waved his hand: "You all go out and close the door!" ”

"Xianggong, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate!" Hearing this, Wang Jingchong, who was behind, immediately expressed his dissent.

"What's wrong? The prime minister wants to interrogate the prisoner separately, does Wang Shilang have an opinion? Wang Zhang said lightly.

Seeing this, Wang Jingchong's expression was slightly cold, and he reminded in a deep voice: "Don't forget that Yang Wei is not an ordinary criminal official!" Moreover, the interrogation is organized, and the public should not violate the rules! ”

Ignoring the warning in his words, Wang Zhang's attitude was tough: "Your Majesty is in charge of this matter, I have my own considerations, you don't need to make noise here, step down!" ”

Under Wang Zhang's strength, Wang Jingchong had no choice but to watch the jailer close the cell door and isolate himself.

However, the moment the cell door closed, Wang Jingchong's expression changed, he became indifferent, his eyes flickered, and a sinister smile hung on his face.

In Wang Jingchong's view, this is Wang Zhang's own hand. How to report Liu Chengyou on this matter, he has already made a draft. Wang Zhang was abnormal, retreated left and right, and saw the traitor Yang Wei alone, and the two talked secretly for a long time......

"Brother offended the villain so much, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, you need to be careful! What happened to me should be a warning! The conversation between Yang and Wang began with Yang Wei's reminder to Wang Zhang.
