Chapter 196: The Impeachment of Yang Ting
According to Yang Xianrong's guess and Sima Xuanhua's analysis, the two probably knew what the King of the East China Sea wanted to do. First kill Sima Zhen, and then set up Sima Chi as the heir, during which there must be some conspiracy to implicate the Yang family and Sima Qin, and kill all of them on what charges, and then Feng Hang is a useless person, and he also kills him, and when there is nothing around that can threaten the king of the East China Sea, he will take the opportunity to drive Sima Chi off the dragon chair and ascend the throne as emperor himself.
Knowing the plan of the King of the East China Sea, Yang Xianrong faced the next choice, whether to choose to fight for the throne or save his life. If before this, Yang Xianrong's entire plan was to push Sima Tan to the throne, after all, only when Sima Tan ascended the throne as the emperor, she could really settle down, but the current situation was too unfavorable for her, and she really had no determination and conditions to win if she wanted to compete with the King of the East China Sea, but if she chose to save her life, she had no idea, not to mention that she escaped the killing for a while, and when the King of the East China Sea really took the throne, even if she tried everything she could, she would not let them have a way to live.
Yang Xianrong has only now come back to her senses, and since the time the King of the East China Sea invited her back to the palace, she has fallen into a huge trap. The king of the East China Sea used her to stabilize the uncertain Feng Hang, waited for the position of auxiliary government to be taken, and then used her to contain Feng Hang, and finally used her to destroy the sheep family. This person is deeply thoughtful, she is indeed ashamed of herself, but she doesn't understand, how could a person as transparent as Feng Hang not see the intentions of the East China Sea King? still let him attack the sheep family, is it forced or even he has changed?
Asked Nan Xingyi to investigate Feng Hang's matter and did not respond for a long time, at first Yang Xianrong felt that this matter was not urgent, but now it is different, she is eager to know Feng Hang's thoughts, if he can still help her, she will desperately push Sima Qin to the throne, but if even Feng Hang is not of the same mind as her, she can only find a way to escape again.
Before Yang Xianrong could come up with a countermeasure, Yang Ting suddenly came over. He was not polite to the sheep, but just asked him what he said when he went to the East Palace to meet with the sheep yesterday?
Yang Xianrong sneered and said, "He is my brother, we are not allowed to talk together?" If so, this palace will not be able to talk to you. β
Yang was very angry, patted the table and lowered his voice and said to Yang Xianrong: "Don't you know that the King of the East Sea has a close eye on the East Palace and the Xianyang Palace? I don't know what you're going to do, but I've earned a good life now, and no one wants to ruin him. After speaking, he sat up straight, and then said: "I said a long time ago, if you do your duty, the king of the East China Sea will not treat you badly, and you can sit firmly in the position of the master of the harem, do you have to make some trouble and implicate the entire sheep family?" β
"I'm just a woman, no power, no soldiers, I want to ask you, what are you staring at me? What are you afraid of me doing? You Yang Ting has no one in your eyes now, but you care about me as a weak woman? Yang Xianrong fought back unceremoniously, she had never spoken her heart so bluntly, she knew what the King of the East China Sea wanted to do, but what if she knew? What could she do? Today, even if the King of the East Sea stood in front of her and told her that he was going to replace Sima Xin, what could she do? Isn't it her who should be questioned?
Yang Ting narrowed his eyes, knocked on the table, and said softly: "Sima Tan can't be the emperor." β
"Then why does the King of the East China Sea approve his position in the East Palace?" Yang Xianrong is really tired of this constant power struggle, which is full of scheming and blood, and she is just a woman who is played with by men and applauded. "After such a big circle, what does the king of the East China Sea want to do, do you think I can't guess?"
Yang Ting glared at Yang Xianrong, stood up, pointed at Yang Xianrong, and said: "Now that I still treat you as my sister, I will remind you that the affairs of the previous dynasty are not for you to interfere in, be your queen, and I will protect your glory and wealth in the future, don't harm yourself and the Yang family." With that, the sheep brushed his sleeves away.
When the New Year came, Yang Xianrong had never seen Yang Ting again, nor had he seen anyone except Sima Xuanhua. But she knew that she had already told Yang Ting what she should say, and she also told the king of the East China Sea that after the New Year, what should happen, let everything happen.
Because it was the first year after the reign of the king of the East China Sea, this year was also extremely lively and busy, from Chinese New Year's Eve, Sima Xin was taken to participate in various banquets in the palace, from the prince to the courtiers to the family banquet, to the tenth of the first year, it can be regarded as leisurely, Yang Xianrong, as a person in the harem, of course, did not participate in these banquets, so she and Sima Xuanhua and Nian'er, lived a simple but warm year.
Sima Zhen was coaxed by Sima Yue to sleep in the Taiji Hall all year round, except for having a meal with his wife and daughter in the first year of junior high school, and he never came to the harem. Years later, he asked to return to the Xianyang Palace, but Sima Yue disagreed, saying that he had obtained the consent of the queen earlier, and asked the emperor to return to the Taiji Hall to live after the year, and then he ignored him. Nine cakes in Chinese
Yang Xianrong quietly waited for Sima to become more and more difficult, but on the fifth day of the year, a strange thing happened in Chaoshang. First of all, Chu Ren went to Luoyang Ling and threw a pleading, accusing Yang Ting of plotting to kill his daughter's life, and asked the court to call the shots, so that Yang Ting's life could be exchanged for his life. This is also strange, not to mention that everyone knows that Chu Qi died in childbirth, how could he be harmed by Yang Ting? Besides, it's been a long time, and if you want to settle the account, it won't be delayed until today.
On the day after Luoyang Ling took over the case, more than a dozen court officials jointly signed a petition to impeach Yang Ting on several charges, among those charges, the small ones were arrogant and lascivious, the big ones were murderous in vain, and they were disrespectful. And the dozen or so officials who impeached Yang Ting, both the imperial history of the Imperial History Observatory and important members of various ministries, seem to have a relationship that cannot be beaten by eight poles, and you can know that they are all Chu Ren's protΓ©gΓ©s.
What does the Chu family want to do? Do you want to rely on the pressure of these officials to make the king of the East China Sea convict Yang Ting? The power of the Chu family is not as good as before, Chu Ren and his two sons are no longer officials in the court, and they can get the support of so many people, but there is still a little bit of Yu Wei left, but as long as the King of the East China Sea ignores it, this Yu Wei can be said to be useless at all. In the next few days, the impeachment transcript was still handed to Sima Yue's desk one after another, and the so-called evidence was attached to the transcript.
The king of the East China Sea read a book with a smile, and then threw them all to Yang Ting, and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, literati are the most difficult, who do you provoke is not good to provoke the Chu family, how can I be good to provoke this commotion?" β
Of course, Yang Ting didn't care about Chu Ren's actions, no one in the Great Jin Dynasty could shake the position of the King of the East China Sea, what was there to be afraid of under the protection of the King of the East China Sea? Therefore, he smiled and said: "The prince has made friends with people all over the world, these people are loyal to you, don't they just like your righteousness first?" β
When the King of the East China Sea heard this, he patted Yang Ting's shoulder heavily, and laughed, "Well said. Then he took the notebooks from Yang Ting's hand, handed them to one of the inner prisoners beside him, and said, "Take them all out and burn them."
It's an eyesore to put it here. After the little inner eunuch went out cautiously with a stack of notebooks, he pulled Yang Ting: "Go, call Wu Zheng, let's drink." β
Because the king of the East China Sea ignored the impeachment, Yang Ting still appeared in the court every day, and there was no shortage of clan princes or people with titles in the court who were treated slowly, although these people were not very powerful, but in the end their identities were there, and they were not happy to be bullied by a villain like Yang Ting, so soon these people also played, accusing Yang Ting of trespassing, and within a few days, the impeachment of Yang Ting became more and more intense, and the recital sent to Sima Yue's desk every day also made him unable to continue to ignore.
In order to appease these people, Sima Yue finally issued an order in the name of Sima Zhen to punish Yang Ting for three months. This punishment is the same as not being punished, today's Jin Dynasty, the treasury is empty, and the officials' salaries are extremely low, which one still relies on simple money to support the family? Sima Yue's attitude made the ministers dissatisfied, so some of the spearheads against Yang Ting turned to him, saying that he shielded his subordinates and acted unfairly. Sima Yue was irritable in his heart, changed the impression of mildness left to the world before, and killed two officials, which caused an uproar in the court, and had no choice but to order the guards to surround the front hall of the Taiji Hall when he was in the court, and bluntly said that if anyone dares to talk about this matter, there will be no forgiveness.
Sima Yue was very proud, he knew that many people in the court were dissatisfied with him as an auxiliary king, and often talked about him behind his back.
"Although it is not what you and I want to do such a thing, but in the end, the horse of Seon is not blessed." Sima Yue said happily: "Now these courtiers, aren't they much more obedient? β
Yang Ting smiled in agreement, praising Sima Yue for his wisdom. But Wu Zheng is a little worried, the so-called irreversible people's hearts, now it seems that these people seem to be obedient, but the dissatisfaction is accumulated in their hearts, and if it continues for a long time, once it breaks out, I am afraid it will be difficult to clean up.
"How can the human heart be irreversible?" The king of the East China Sea was not happy that someone poured cold water on him when he was so happy, he glanced at Wu Zheng and said, "Besides, how can they break out?" Are you a vegetarian again? After that, he shook his head at Wu Zheng with some disappointment, and continued: "How can you become as squirming as those sour literati, you are really unaccustomed to this king. β
The impeachment of Yang Ting has finally been mentioned by no one anymore, but then another incident happened that really touched the scales of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, and also made Yang Xianrong puzzled about the people and things in the court, what do these people want to do?
