At the feet of the Son of Heaven, hundreds of people died overnight, how could the emperor not be angry?

Before that, he had never even heard of a black smith there.

It stands to reason that the cities around the capital are under the control of the soldiers and horses of each city, and the soldiers and horses are under the control of the imperial history of the patrol city.

That is to say, within a radius of 100 miles around the capital, they are all under Yang Hong's control.

Liujiazhuang is dozens of miles outside the capital, and if such a big thing happens, no matter what, Yang Hong can't escape the blame.

In the Wuying Palace, the emperor listened to the reports of the civil and military officials below, his face was very ugly, and the whole person was on the verge of breaking out at any time.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a good song." An imperial historian came out of the queue and presented the notebook in his hand with both hands, "The minister originally got the news that there was a huge military workshop hidden in Liujiazhuang, and he had already checked it in the past few days, and he originally wanted to collect some more evidence and then present it to the saint, but he didn't expect that the good intentions there were blown up, and the minister felt that this matter must have been deliberately done by someone." ”

Gonggong Pei trotted down the steps, took the book of the imperial history, and returned to the dragon chair to the emperor.

The emperor only looked at it casually, and his face turned sharply gloomy.

At this time, another Wenchen also spoke: "Your Majesty, this matter is obviously someone who is a thief, afraid that Your Majesty will investigate it in detail, so he simply destroyed it, but hundreds of lives, if you say that it will be destroyed, this is too inhumane, and now it is the height of summer, if the fire is not good and burns to the nearby village, the consequences are even less conceivable." ”

"It's too much to be careless of human life for the sake of one's own interests."

……

For a while, those civil servants in the court made impassioned remarks, and even quoted scriptures, strongly demanding that the emperor thoroughly investigate the matter.

The entire court quarreled for nearly a pillar of incense, until the emperor interrupted impatiently: "Okay! ”

The voices of the crowd gradually fell, but it could still be seen on their faces that they were all asking for their lives for the people.

At this time, I don't know who said: "I remember that this place is under the management of Lord Xiao Yang, right?" Where is he? There is such a big case, why don't you see him come to the court and show his face! ”

Although Yang Hong's grade is not qualified to go to court every day, if something major happens, he can still go up to this hall to discuss things together.

"I heard that Lord Xiao Yang went out of the city, such a coincidence, as soon as he left the city, Liujiazhuang was bombed, I could have received a complaint from the local people before, saying that Lord Xiao Yang had quietly gone to that Liujiazhuang more than once."

As this voice fell, countless eyes looked at Yang Yuanhai on the side.

Yang Yuanhai had a wooden face, he had long been accustomed to these open guns and dark arrows in the court, and he put on a look of "as long as you don't have evidence, it's not up to you to say it", and he only glanced at them coldly, and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Everyone speculated, Yang Yuanhai is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, or is there a furrow in his chest?

For a while, everyone couldn't figure out what Yang Yuanhai was thinking at the moment.

In fact, Yang Yuanhai didn't take these accusations seriously at all, after all, in a year, there were more pots on their Yang family's heads, and now they are all fine?

As long as their Yang family is sitting up straight, are they afraid of a few drops of saliva from these people?

Yang Hong is the son he grew up with his own hands, he knows how his character is, he never takes the initiative to kill, let alone the common people who are still such a big Zhuangzi.

"Yang Qing, where is Ling Lang now?" The Emperor closed the fold and asked with anger.

Yang Yuanhai's eyebrows jumped, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, what did the emperor mean by asking him this......

didn't have time to think about it, Yang Hong replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the dog did go out of the city yesterday, and he hasn't returned yet, saying that he has something to do, and the minister thinks that after all, he has entered the court as an adult, so he didn't ask much." ”

The emperor pointed the fold in his direction and said: "It is said that Yang Hong has a very good personal relationship with the owner of Liujiazhuang, and often secretly meets in the middle of the night, and some surviving people also pointed out that the big boss behind the black iron workshop in Liujiazhuang is surnamed Yang. ”

Yang Yuanhai's eyes widened, and then he shook his head decisively: "Your Majesty, you are wronged!" The Yang family has been loyal to the monarch for generations, and there is nothing wrong with it, and last time His Majesty also sent someone to the minister's mansion, presumably His Majesty also knows that in the minister's mansion, except for those objects handed down from the ancestors, there is nothing valuable. ”

Let's ask, a clean official who is not greedy or takes, if he really opened such a black weapons workshop behind the emperor's back, then he should be so rich and even ambitious. vertex

"Your Majesty, presumably this is just the contempt of people with intentions, and the Yang family will not have that guts." Cheng Anhou also stood up and said.

"Humph! You said that you wronged him, take a look for yourself, the petitions are all sandwiched inside, and they are all written in the blood of the common people, vomiting blood every word, and complaining every sentence, besides, there is such a big thing, Yang Hong actually didn't even show his face, what does this mean? It shows that he has a weak heart! ”

At this time, several important ministers who were close bent down to pick up the share that the emperor had just thrown on the steps, but had not been able to throw it in front of them, and opened it.

After the first person finished reading it, he passed it to his side, and soon, the officials from the first to the second rank who were standing in the front row all looked around, and their faces were solemn, and even the officials who wanted to speak for the Yang family at the beginning were speechless at this time.

It doesn't matter if this blood book is true or not, but since it has been handed to the emperor's desk, it is no longer a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty, wronged, the Yang family has never done these things, and I hope that Your Majesty will see clearly, the dog will definitely return to Beijing today, and then he will be interrogated well, but the minister believes that even if he borrows a hundred guts, he will not dare to do such a ruthless thing."

Yang Yuanhai said, kneeling heavily.

Cheng Anhou is an in-law, if the Yang family is really guilty, then their Mu family will naturally not be much better, and even their newly married daughter will be convicted together, so at this time, he naturally wants to protect the Yang family.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is strange, why is it so coincidental, as soon as Yang Hong left the capital, such a big thing happened? Moreover, Yang Dagongzi doesn't look like that kind of fool, if he wants to do something, he has to be fair and honest to make people suspicious of him, and he is willing to ask His Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly and give those people justice. ”

As Cheng Anhou's voice sounded, several voices sounded one after another, they also had some dealings with the Yang family, and they still knew the character of the Yang family, so they naturally wouldn't believe those accusations.

Moreover, in the end, there is no evidence, and those so-called living accusations, who knows if there are any elements in them that have been designed to be bought.

However, just when several people were asking the emperor for the Yang family to investigate more carefully and make a conclusion, a guard suddenly broke in from outside the palace, and the guard was not those in the palace at a glance, but those guarding outside the palace walls.

As soon as the guard came in, he knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Prince Yang has rebelled. ”

As soon as these words fell, the entire hall was silent for a moment, and then everyone began to stir.

The emperor roared, stood up from the dragon chair, pointed at the attendant and asked sharply, "What did you say?" You repeat! ”

At this time, Yang Yuanhai, who was still kneeling on the ground, only felt a coaxing in his ears, and after a while, he forcibly endured a mouthful of blood and asked, "What did you say?" You make it clear to the officer, who rebelled? ”

Yang Yuanhai couldn't be calm anymore at the moment, after all, everyone was carrying a body of blood and deducted such a big crime against the Yang family, how could he still hold his breath?

You can confess any crime, but you can't admit the crime of rebellion!

This is a great sin for the Nine Clans!

"Your Majesty, Yang Dagongzi, that is, Yang Hong, he gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack the capital, and approached the palace gate, I waited for the palace gate to close urgently, and swore to resist for a long time without success. The guard said, and arched his hand solemnly at the emperor, "I hope that Your Majesty will quickly dispatch troops to come to the rescue, otherwise, the palace will be in danger~"

The emperor's face changed and changed, and then, his gaze at Yang Yuanhai couldn't help but be cold, as if to say, what else do you have to say now.

Yang Yuanhai only felt a sweat oozing from his head, he firmly believed that Yang Hong would not do such a thing, besides, now that there is no ambitious prince and prince in the court, Yang Hong is a small patrol of the city, what did he do when he rebelled? He doesn't want to be emperor himself, does he?

However, now the guards have come to report at the risk of death, saying that they saw with their own eyes that the person who led the troops was Yang Hong, and he was full of mouths, saying that it was impossible for the son raised by the Yang family to do such a thing, and I am afraid that no one would believe it.

At this time, not only Yang Yuanhai, but even the ministers who helped the Yang family speak just now couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Even the guards guarding the palace gate said that Yang Hong led his troops to attack the city, if they still insisted that the Yang family was innocent, wouldn't they be talking nonsense with their eyes open? Looking back, the emperor should have suspected that they were in a group.

"yes, that's good." The emperor laughed angrily, he stepped down from the dragon chair, and laughed at himself, "It seems that there are really people who are very unaccustomed to me sitting in this position, and after only a few days, there have been many people who want to force the palace, which is really good." ”

When everyone saw the emperor walking down the steps, they automatically flashed a path for him one by one.

Gu Chen's mind was also full of question marks at the moment, he knew very well that Yang Hong couldn't do that kind of thing, just when the guards came in to report, thousands of thoughts had flashed in his mind, thinking about how to deal with it.

Not to mention that it is impossible for Yang Hong to do this kind of thing, even if he really leads the team outside, he has to think of ways to make this matter fake, otherwise, the Yang family will be convicted, which is a big crime of the Nine Clans, and Qin Niang will not be able to avoid it at that time.

"Your Majesty, the minister immediately mobilized all the defenses in the capital and went to the palace gate to see in person, if it was really Yang Hong, the minister would immediately capture him."
