Volume 4 Chapter 97 A Mess of Punches
Yang Jisheng is not very famous in history, but what he did is indeed worthy of the title of "the first fierce man in the Ming Dynasty", because he not only impeached Yan Song but also impeached Qiu Luan, and he had no background at that time, and impeaching these two traitors who leaned towards the government and the opposition was tantamount to looking for death.
When he impeached Qiu Luan, he happened to encounter a conflict between Qiu Luan and Yan Song, and Yan Song deliberately helped him attack Qiu Luan in secret, so he didn't die.
When he impeached Yan Song, his luck was not so good, at that time Yan Song could be said to be in full swing, and he was favored by Jiajing, so he was sent to prison and tortured to death.
This is his previous life, he is a cup all his life, tragic and suffocating, of course, in this life, he has Yang Cong as a master, and it is impossible for the tragedy to be staged again.
After Yang Cong tested him for a few words, he tactfully taught: "Zhong Fang, do you know, your idea is good, but your approach is not well considered. ”
If someone else said this, Yang Jisheng would probably be angry, but when his teacher Yang Cong said this, he didn't have any idea of being angry, and he humbly asked for advice: "Teacher, I don't know what is wrong with the disciple's approach, and I ask the teacher to teach." ”
Yang Cong nodded slightly, and continued to teach: "Yan Song is indeed a big traitor, and everyone in the court knows this. However, at this time, he is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, and it is difficult to bring him down, you should know this. Only by starting with his henchmen and slowly weakening his strength, and at the same time letting the emperor slowly see his true face, can we succeed, you know? ”
When Yang Jisheng heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He is a fierce man, but he is not a stupid person, the reason why he took his life to fight Yan Song in his previous life was because he had no backstage, and he knew that he could not overturn Yan Song, so he could only rush up and splash Yan Song's blood.
This time is different, he has Yang Cong's support and Yang Ming's backing, and there is hope of overthrowing Yan Song, and it is not small.
He carefully experienced Yang Cong's words, and then he bowed his hand convincingly: "What the teacher said is very reasonable, and the disciple has been taught." So, this time, are we going to target Yan Maoqing and cut off one of the arms of Yan Song, a dog thief? ”
Yang Cong nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, our target this time is Yan Maoqing, this person is indeed a good hand in corruption, it can be said that more than half of Yan Song's corruption income is contributed by this guy, if this person can be impeached and imprisoned, Yan Song will definitely be in big trouble." “
When Yang Jisheng heard this, he couldn't help but say: "The student understands, thank you for the teacher's teachings, and the student will go to write a recital." ”
After that, he made a respectful gesture, and then turned around and retired.
Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but raise his hand and said, "Wait, what are you going to impeach Yan Maoqing?" ”
Yang Jisheng said without hesitation: "Yan Maoqing embezzled salt to attract revenue, and almost everyone in the DPRK and China knew about it, and the students impeached him for embezzlement and perverted the law during his tenure as the head of the household department in Nanjing, so that the supply of food and salary for the border army was not enough, and finally led to a mutiny. ”
Yang Cong asked again: "What about the evidence?" ”
Yang Jisheng said a little inexplicably: "Almost everyone in this court knows about it, do you still need evidence?" ”
Yang Cong cried and laughed: "How can you make the emperor believe your words without evidence, people can bite you back, saying that you are falsely accused, when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be reversed, not only can you not impeach Yan Maoqing, but you will be framed and convicted." You must know that Yan Song is the first assistant of the cabinet, and his slanderous words are more useful than your ten parts. ”
Yang Jisheng stiffened his neck and said: "Yu Shifeng is not guilty of hearing this, this is the ancestral system, the emperor won't even know this, right?" ”
Yang Cong shook his head helplessly and said, "What if the emperor knows?" Yan Song's ability to reverse black and white, don't you know? Even if you won't be convicted for this, can the emperor cure Yan Maoqing's crime with a few words from you? He is a scholar of the household department in Nanjing, a member of the imperial court of the second grade. ”
Yang Jisheng was stunned when he heard this, yes, can the emperor cure Yan Maoqing's sin with his copy?
Impossible!
So, what to do?
He stood there dumbfounded, speechless.
Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "You, you're just too impulsive, you have to think twice before you act, you know?" ”
After that, he got up directly, took out a bunch of materials from the bookshelf behind him and put them in front of Yang Jisheng, and then said lightly: "You can take a look at these first." ”
When Yang Jisheng heard this, he couldn't help but pick up the information curiously and look at it.
These are all evidence of Yan Maoqing's corruption, there are bills, confessions, official documents, and they are extremely detailed!
After reading all this in shock, his gaze at Yang Cong suddenly changed.
The teacher is really powerful, he has already checked Yan Maoqing to the bottom!
He looked at Yang Cong with reverence on his face, and he didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Yang Cong shook his head helplessly and said: "Now, do you know why the teacher said that your ideas are good, but the practice is not considered, the emperor is different from you and me, he can contact all kinds of people, can understand a lot of things, he must read the twists and turns, read the evidence, and even ask his cronies and courtiers to understand the truth of the matter, a twist and turn, how can he be gullible?" You're still too young. “
Yang Jisheng was once again convinced: "The students have been taught, thank you for the teachings of the teacher." ”
With that, he picked up the materials on the table and waited to turn around and leave.
Seeing this, Yang Cong reluctantly raised his hand again and said, "Slow, how are you going to impeach Yan Maoqing?" ”
Yang Jisheng held up the information in his hand and wondered: "Isn't this enough?" ”
Yang Cong shook his head and sighed: "A second-grade Shangshu is not so easy to fall off, not to mention that there is also a big backstage of Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet. ”
Yes!
Isn't that enough?
Yang Jisheng was stunned for a while, and then humbly asked: "Teacher, what can you do to pull Yan Maoqing off the horse?" ”
Yang Cong prompted: "Didn't you say that you want to invite the righteous people of the DPRK and China to impeach Yan Song? This idea is very good, show these things to others, I believe, there will be many people who are indignant and help you impeach Yan Song together. ”
Didn't you say that Yan Maoqing was impeached, why did it become the impeachment of Yan Song again?
Yang Jisheng asked stupidly: "Master, do you mean to impeach Yan Maoqing or impeach Yan Song?" ”
Yang Cong said wisely: "Isn't the impeachment of Yan Maoqing just to impeach Yan Song? You impeached Yan Maoqing, they impeached Yan Song, your evidence is conclusive, they heard about it, and they went up in a mess, how do you say Yan Song should deal with it? ”
Yang Jisheng suddenly said: "Teacher, do you mean to make Yan Song tired of coping, so that you can bring down Yan Maoqing?" ”
Yang Cong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, you can only pull Yan Maoqing off the horse if you let Yan Song be tired of dealing with it and have no time to care about other people's affairs." If you blindly impeach Yan Maoqing, Yan Song will definitely do his best to exonerate him, think about it, if a cabinet chief assistant wants to protect one person, you are an imperial history, can you impeach someone? ”
