At about noh in the afternoon, in the depths of the palace, Lu Bingzheng was taking a leisurely rest in his duty room, when a small eunuch's shrill voice suddenly came from outside: "Lord Lu, the emperor has ordered you to go over immediately." ”

When Lu Bing heard this, he quickly jumped up from the chair, rubbed his face vigorously, and then strode out of the door and asked seriously, "What's the matter?" ”

If this was asked by other officials, the little eunuch who passed on the message would definitely not pay attention, but Lu Bing asked differently, and the little eunuch respectfully bowed his hand and said: "My lord, the emperor has received a few impeachment papers, and he seems to be very unhappy." ”

Impeachment?

It can't be an impeachment of oneself!

When Lu Bing heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

At this time, he does not have the momentum of power, and he is still afraid of others impeaching him.

He couldn't help but ask, "Whose impeachment?" ”

The little eunuch still bowed his hand respectfully and said, "It seems that Yang Cong and Lord Yang were impeached." ”

Yang Cong!

Didn't Yang Cong go to Shanxi?

Why would someone impeach him now, shouldn't he be?

Lu Bing hurried to the imperial study with a stomach full of doubts, and when he entered the door, he also secretly glanced at Jiajing, and sure enough, at this time, the emperor was full of frost and looked very unhappy.

He stepped forward and respectfully saluted the monarch and ministers, and then asked carefully: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

Jiajing raised his head and stared at him for a while, then picked up a few copies and said coldly, "You can take a look first." ”

Lu Bing grew up with Jiajing since he was a child, so he naturally knew what Jiajing's expression meant, and the emperor seemed to be a little dissatisfied with himself.

He hurriedly stepped forward and carefully took the fold and looked at it carefully.

Looking at it, Lu Bing's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, although these twists and turns were all impeached against Yang Cong, but the above things also had something to do with him.

Yu Shi Ye Bo impeached Yang Cong for bending the law for personal gain, and joined forces with Nie Bao and others to elect Zhang Shiche, a fellow party member, to serve as the secretary of the household department in Nanjing.

Chen Jiude, the imperial historian, impeached Yang Cong for abusing power for personal gain, and teamed up with Zhang Shiche, the secretary of Nanjing's household department, to divide the salt and seek huge profits.

Governor Chen Da impeached Yang Cong for running rampant in the township, lawless, in order to collect grain, in exchange for salt, bullying the squires in Xinzhou and Dingxiang and other places, causing a lot of complaints!

This guy, the three twists and turns are all related to Yanyin, these people are obviously impeaching Yang Cong in order to snatch Yanyin, seek huge profits, and secretly help Zhang Shiche to control the household department in Nanjing, and at the same time, for the sake of Yanyin's business, he also went to Shanxi to personally take action and oppress the squire.

Lu Bing is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he can see at a glance that this is Xia Yan taking revenge on Yang Cong.

Fortunately, Xia Yan didn't know that he was also involved, otherwise this guy would probably be impeached with him, if the emperor saw his name on it, the emperor probably wouldn't tell him about it.

At this time, the most important thing is to clear up the relationship and not arouse the emperor's suspicion, he pretended to be angry after reading the recital: "I didn't expect that this Yang Cong was so insatiable, Weichen looked at him usually well-behaved, and thought he was a good person." ”

When Jiajing heard this, his face really looked a little better, and he began to be a little suspicious of Lu Bing, after all, the two of them were about to become Uncle Lang, but as soon as he heard Lu Bing's words, he was relieved, this "milk brother" seemed to be really unaware, okay!

He thought about it, and then muttered: "This can't be conclusive, Yang Cong is the champion of the new department after all, if he is done because of a few twists and turns, it will inevitably shake the government and the opposition, and the people will be panicked, and there must be real evidence to do it." ”

Lu Bing didn't take his stubble at all, but said in a mess: "It's okay, it's okay, I found it early, although this Yang Cong's talent is outstanding, there may be a problem with his mental skills, if he really has a problem with his mental skills, wouldn't it hurt Ling'er to marry Ling'er to him!" ”

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, we can't harm Ling'er, you can go and investigate to see if there is anything wrong with this Yang Cong." ”

"Whew." , It's finally messed up, just let me check, if you let someone else check, Yang Cong will be in big trouble.

Lu Bing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed his hand seriously and obeyed the order, and slowly withdrew from the imperial study.

Will he go to check Yang Cong, of course not, when he came out of the imperial study, he recruited a few cronies and ordered them to rush to Dingxiang for eight hundred miles, and hurry up to inform Yang Cong and let Yang Cong find a way to deal with it.

Yang Cong didn't know that Xia Yan and Chen Da had already taken the lead and sued him, and at this time he was desperately collecting evidence of Chen Da's corruption.

After a period of hard work, he had almost collected the evidence, but the delivery of the fields and the delivery of grain had not yet been completed, so he could only wait in Dingxiang first, while sorting out the evidence, while waiting for his father to finish the matter.

On this day, he was sorting out his testimony in the study of the Yang family's courtyard, when there was a faint sound of horses' hooves outside, and it didn't take long for Shen Lian to suddenly walk in and arch his hand: "My lord, Lord Lu has an urgent secret report for eight hundred miles." ”

Yang Cong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, eight hundred miles to expedite the secret report? Something big must have happened in the capital!

He looked at Shen Lian and saw that this guy's hands were empty, and he immediately reacted, the person who sent the secret letter should want to hand over the secret letter to himself to rest assured.

He immediately dropped the confession in his hand and said anxiously: "Quick, let someone present the secret letter." ”

Shen Lian bowed his hand and obeyed, and then walked out quickly.

Soon he came over with a dusty Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, this Xiaoqi Yang Cong had also seen, and it was Lu Bing's cronies.

He raised his hand directly and said, "What about the secret letter?" ”

When the little flag heard this, he hurriedly took out an envelope from his arms and quickly delivered it to him.

Yang Cong took the secret letter, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help frowning.

These guys actually played the wicked to sue first and sued themselves.

Lu Bing said very clearly in the letter, a total of three people impeached him, and even the content of each person's impeachment Lu Bing described in detail in the letter.

Yang Cong instantly understood that Xia Yan wanted to use him as a breakthrough to clean up the entire Yangming lineage!

These guys are also shameless, in order to compete for power and profit, they turn black and white so upside down.

He secretly helped Zhang Shiche compete for the position of the head of the household department in Nanjing, yes, it was for the sake of Yanyin, but he snatched the share of Yanyin not only to make money.

The reason why he made such a firm move, the salt share was only one aspect, and more importantly, he didn't want these to fall into the hands of the huge greedy Yan Song.

He knew that Yan Song's corruption was simply terrifying, and if Yan Song controlled the Nanjing household, the price of salt would not only not fall, but would rise, and at that time, the people would not be able to afford salt.

These guys, it seems, are still unwilling, what should I do?

Judging from the situation of the three folds, they are obviously premeditated, these three folds are interlocking, there is not a trace of loopholes, if you don't understand the situation, how can you really believe what the folds say.

At this time, Jiajing probably began to doubt him in his heart, and this matter was really a bit troublesome.
