When Zhou Yin mentioned that there were other hidden secrets in this matter, Yang Wu's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly asked.

I only heard Zhou Yin reply: "King, although this matter is a detailed investigation, but in the middle of this, Jinling Changshi Wang Taifu once said that among the several scholars who were arrested and imprisoned, several of them were completely deliberately framed by Song Qiqiu. ”

"What?" Yang Wu was taken aback, and then asked in detail.

Song Qiqiu, he has always had high hopes for this person, after all, this person's ability is indeed good, plus he is young, maybe in the future, after the death of the older generation of Wenchen such as Gao Mian, Chen Yanqian, and Yan Keqiu, he can still become the pillar of the Wu court.

Because of this, Yang Wu didn't care about his age at all, so he appointed him as the Yin of Jinling Mansion, knowing that this is an important position.

For example, in history, Zhao Kuangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, served as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion at the beginning, and Chai Rong of the previous Later Zhou Shizong, who also served as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion at the beginning.

Yang Wu asked Song Qiqiu to serve as the Yin of Jinling Mansion, which was obviously to cultivate him and to cultivate a prime minister in the future.

However, if this person really did something to deliberately frame others, then even if such a person is talented, Yang Wu will not dare to reuse it.

He hurriedly asked Zhou Yin about the details, but Zhou Yin smiled bitterly: "King, this matter must be clearer to Scholar Chen, so it's up to him to tell it." ”

Yang Wu immediately looked at Chen Yanqian.

"King, there is actually no actual evidence for this matter, but Wang Taifu mentioned in the report that when Jinling Mansion held the state test last year, according to the actual results, it should be that Zhang Yanhan and another scholar named Chang Mengxi from Qi Country performed the best."

"However, Song Qiqiu insisted on listing another Hongzhou scholar as the first place, the reason being that he could not let the northern scholar win the first place, otherwise he would not look good."

Chen Yanqian briefly introduced the conflict between Wang Taifu and Song Qiqiu last year to Yang Wu, and finally said: "So in the end, Song Qiqiu still let the Hongzhou scholar be listed as the first." ”

Yang Wu's face suddenly sank after hearing this, and said, "Then have you investigated, how do the test scores of Hongzhou scholars compare with Chang Mengxi and Zhang Yanhan?" ”

Chen Yanqian hesitated for a moment and said, "This, the minister went to look at the answer sheets of several people afterwards, and it was indeed Zhang Yanhan and Chang Mengxi who had better results. ”

Yang Wu then asked: "So among the people arrested this time, in addition to Zhang Yanhan, is Chang Mengxi also arrested?" ”

"Yes!" Chen Yanqian affirmed.

"Is this person a fine worker?" Yang Wu's voice was a little cold.

"The identity of this person could not be confirmed, and he was later released by order of King Hailing." Chen Yanqian's forehead was sweating.

"Presumptuous! Who is he Song Qiqiu? It's just Jinling Mansion Yin. This meticulous work is the duty of the long sword capital, do you need him to jump up and down here? Yang Wu immediately became angry.

Although Chen Yanqian said that he could not confirm whether Song Qiqiu really deliberately framed him, who was Yang Wu, and if he had a judgment in his heart, why did he need any evidence?

In the process of stating the entire case before, Zhou Yin had mentioned Song Qiqiu many times, and Yang Wu was a little strange at that time, because this matter was not Song Qiqiu's duty at all.

However, at that time, he thought that this matter was raised by Song Qiqiu from the beginning, and the cause of the incident was also because the messenger of Jinling Mansion inadvertently caught Xizuo, which led to the case.

So at that time, although Yang Wu was puzzled by Song Qiqiu's overstepping of his authority, he didn't think much about it.

But now that I think about it, what role did Song Qiqiu play in this, which really makes people think about it.

In particular, what kind of person does Yang Wu remember about Song Qiqiu in history? Jealous and jealous, jealous and retributional, pampered and arrogant, forming parties for personal gain, and excluding dissidents......

It can be said that the government of the Southern Tang Dynasty was a mess, and Song Qiqiu was responsible for at least half of it.

He relied on the great merit he made in helping Li Yu, that is, Xu Zhihe usurped the throne, and mentioned his own merits at every turn, if Li Yu gave him a lighter reward, he would be so angry that he hid at home and complained.

Li Yu sent someone to reprimand him, and he mentioned his merits back then, and asked Li Yu if he had forgotten his merits.

is pampered and arrogant to such an extent, this is why Li Yu regards him as a friend of both ministers and friends, so he tolerates it, if he is replaced by another emperor, I am afraid that he will be wiped out long ago.

In addition, he also wantonly formed parties for personal gain and excluded dissidents.

In history, like the Southern Tang Army's conquest of Fujian, the army was defeated many times because of the incompetence of the commander, cowardice and fear of death, but because it was Song Qiqiu's party, he did not receive any punishment in the end.

What's even more ridiculous is that the people of Song Qiqiu's party still advocate for it, as long as there is anything good in the DPRK and China, they will say that it is all Song Qiqiu's credit; And if something bad happens, they will say that it is all because they don't listen to Song Qiqiu's words, so it will lead to bad consequences.

Later, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, that is, Li Yu's father, was defeated by the Later Zhou army because of the Battle of Jiangbei, and wanted to abdicate to avoid trouble under the cowardice, but the people of Song Qiqiu and his party stood up and suggested that the lord give way to Song Qiqiu, so that he could enjoy peace and happiness.

The people of Song Qiqiu's party have acted arbitrarily to such a point, and it is strange that the Southern Tang Dynasty court is controlled by such a group of people, and the country's strength is not declining.

Thinking of the bad deeds of Song Qiqiu in history, Yang Wu's face turned completely dark.

Of course, what he didn't know was why that Wang Taifu in history was not famous? It was because this person wrote to Li Yu to make suggestions, but Song Qiqiu became jealous when he saw it, so he stopped him.

After Wang Taifu learned about it, he wrote a letter to scold Song Qiqiu, which mentioned the sentence "Hearing the name of the Qi saint, and calling the word super sub-saint".

At that time, Song Qiqiu was high, but Wang Taifu was just a grass people, so Song Qiqiu sent someone to kill Wang Taifu without any scruples.

Afterwards, Li Yu learned that although he felt pity, he was helpless.

After all, it is impossible for Yang Wu to remember everything in history, so naturally he doesn't know Wang Taifu.

However, he is clear about Song Qiqiu's jealousy and jealousy.

At this time, after listening to Chen Yanqian's account of the cause and effect details, coupled with Song Qiqiu's active participation in this matter beyond his authority, it would be impossible to say that Song Qiqiu had no ghost in his heart.

"I originally thought that history had changed, whether it was Song Qiqiu's upbringing or the national situation of my Wu Kingdom, it was very different from the original history; Originally, I thought that Song Qiqiu's personality should also have some changes, at least not as many flaws as in history, but now it seems that I still overestimate the changes in history. ”

Yang Wu was so angry that all the ministers were silent, although Yang Wu's anger was not directed at them, but it still made the others feel uneasy.

"The king's power has increased a bit, and now he is so angry, it really makes people tremble." All the ministers thought in their hearts.

If it is said that Yang Wu back then, relying on the many military exploits established on the battlefield and his father's prestige, he was able to easily take charge of Huainan and ensure that there would be no chaos; However, at that time, Yang Wu was still slightly authoritative.

However, in the past few years, although Yang Wu did not deliberately show his authority, sometimes the increase in authority does not require anything, only the accumulation of time.

After so many years, today's Yang Wu is naturally no longer the person he used to be, and now he has a trace of undoubted authority in everything he says and does, which is the real monarch.

After all, Chen Yanqian is the head of Wenchen, and others can not speak, but he is not good at being silent.

So he stubbornly said: "King, there is no evidence for this matter after all, it is just the words of Wang Taifu's family." Plus this ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Wu angrily interrupted him: "Evidence? He can arrest people without evidence, so why should Lone talk to him about evidence? ”

Chen Yanqian was dumbfounded, and was about to refute, but Yang Wu had already realized that there was something wrong with this sentence just now.

No matter how you say it, Wang Taifu is just a Jinling Mansion Yin, and if he does something wrong, someone can still govern him; But what is Yang Wu's identity? He is now the lord of the kingdom of Wu.

Maybe he can do it to the people he suspects without evidence, but there are things that can be done but can't be said.

Moreover, this is also somewhat inconsistent with Wu Guo's principles and policies that have always paid attention to real evidence, so Chen Yanqian and others felt that what he just said was a little inappropriate.

Yang Wu realized that his words were a little inappropriate, but at this time he did not intend to change his words, but instead ordered: "Yin Song Qiqiu of Jinling Mansion, act arbitrarily, immediately dismiss him from all his positions, let him study hard at home, and not be an official for ten years." ”

"What? King, this punishment is too heavy, isn't it? The ministers were shocked.

If there is any actual evidence to prove that Song Qiqiu really deliberately framed him, then everyone will not object to Yang Wu's disposition, but in the absence of evidence, all the ministers feel that it will be too much.

What they are especially worried about is that although there is no evidence of Song Qiqiu's incident this time, everyone feels that there is something wrong with it; But if Yang Wu wants to deal with other people in the future, can he also make a move without evidence?

That's what everyone is worried about.

Yang Wu shook his head and replied firmly: "The so-called just over easy breaking, Gu was still too good to him at the beginning, and let him serve as the Yin of Jinling Mansion at a young age, so that now he is pampered and arrogant." This time, let him cultivate his mind at home, if he can really change after ten years, then Gu will be happy. ”

"Otherwise, a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable will never be reused!"

The ministers saw that he was resolute, and this time Song Qiqiu's approach was indeed a little criticized, if it could really make a difference, it would be a good thing.

Therefore, after the ministers pondered for a while, they did not say anything more to persuade them.
