When Yang Zhen rode back to his home, the sky had completely darkened, and only the lanterns in front of the doors of those big houses emitted dim candlelight, illuminating the square inch in front of the door. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But even so, Yang Zhen still saw at a glance the rather anxious thin face of Gao Changlu, the housekeeper who was standing at the mouth of the alley. Speaking of which, this executive was still looking for his family before Luo Yueying left Beijing, and he has been conscientious these days, taking care of the Yang family in an orderly manner.

Just when Yang Zhen was puzzled by his actions, Gao Changlu had already seen Yang Zhen, and immediately a look of joy appeared on his face, and he hurriedly greeted him: "Master, you can be regarded as back." The little ones have been waiting here for almost an hour......" said, and glanced behind Yang Zhen several times: "Hey, why didn't you see Lao Zhangtou or Zhong Gui?" Didn't they come back with you, sir? ”

"What are you talking about? How could they come back with me? Yang Zhen asked strangely while dismounting and throwing the reins to Gao Changlu. The two people mentioned were also descendants of the Yang family.

"It's the little one who sent them to the Zhenfu Division and the school field to find you, what's the matter, didn't you come from those two sides?" Gao Changlu hurriedly explained.

Yang Zhen understood the reason, and glanced at the other party a little strangely: "Why are you so eagerly looking forward to my return?" Isn't there something big going on in the family? As he spoke, his heart was also slightly tense.

"Not really." Gao Changlu hurriedly dispelled Yang Zhen's uneasiness and said: "There is a guest who pointed out that he wanted to see the master, and he also said that he had to say something extremely important, so that the little one could find the master quickly." ”

"Oh?" Yang Zhen, who had already walked into the house, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "Do you know the identity of the guest?" ”

"He didn't say it, but the little one who looks like him is not swaggering, and besides, uncle, he is accompanying the man in the guest room, sir, you can see it when you go over." Gao Changlu said again, the uncle in his mouth is naturally Yang Zhen's brother Yang Chen.

Yang Zhen nodded, his steps were a little faster, and he walked towards the guest hall. After a while, when he came to the half-hidden room, he saw a young man with a white face and beard who was gossiping quietly with Yang Chen, but this person's face could not hide the anxiousness, as if he was more anxious than his own housekeeper.

Although he had only met this person a few times before and had not said a few words, Yang Zhen still recognized his identity at a glance - the chamberlain in the palace. This made him even more curious, so he strode into the guest hall, arched his hand towards the man, and said, "I don't know if your guest is coming, it is really rude to return at night." ”

As soon as the two people who were talking saw him coming back, they all quickly stood up, and Yang Chen smiled: "Erlang, this guest has been waiting for you for several hours, you are indeed too rude." ”

"Don't dare, slave...... The little one was just ordered to come and say a few important words to Lord Yang, and it was nothing to wait a minute. Seeing that the Yang family brothers were so polite, a smile also appeared on his face. Then he glanced at Yang Chen thoughtfully, as if he wanted to talk to Yang Zhen alone.

I didn't want Yang Zhen to say: "Father-in-law Ying doesn't have to be so careful, this is my brother and my most trusted person, so you don't have to be too careful." ”

"Huh? Do you recognize our family? Father-in-law Ying was stunned when he saw Yang Zhen shouting out his identity.

"Father-in-law Ying is a powerful person by Grandpa Sun's side, and I have a lot of friendship with Grandpa Sun, so I will naturally remember Father-in-law. But I don't know that you deigned to come to my house this time, but you were ordered by Grandpa Sun? After remembering the identity of the other party, Yang Zhen vaguely guessed something. The father-in-law Sun in his mouth is Sun Hai, who is still favored by Wanli's side and has a close relationship with Yang Zhen.

"Lord Yang is really shrewd, and he guessed it right at once." Father-in-law Ying smiled and said, "I came out of the palace to find you at the behest of my godfather and give you a warning." At this point, his face had become a little solemn.

"Oh? But what happened to make Grandpa Sun pay so much attention? Yang Zhen was also shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

After a slight hesitation, Father-in-law Ying still replied truthfully: "Lord Yang, you don't know that you are outside the palace, because many people have already complained about your recent training of Jinyiwei. And this morning's incident has made His Majesty seem to have some doubts about you. Godfather, he saw the consequences of this incident, so he ordered us to report to you before the palace gate was closed. ”

"And this?" Yang Zhen was stunned when he heard this, it seems that some people finally can't hold it back, and they want to give themselves a trick to draw salary, planning to make the emperor suspicious of him.

"Hmm...... Here's the thing...... "Seeing that Yang Zhen didn't plan to let Yang Chen leave, Father-in-law Ying stopped selling Guan Zi, and immediately told everything he knew-

Because of Feng Bao's secret instructions, many officials openly and secretly pointed out that Yang Zhen's training of Jinyi Wei during this period of time was very inappropriate, and there was even the possibility of arrogance. In this regard, although Wanli said that he did not believe it, a thorn had been buried in his heart.

And all this, of course, can't hide from the eyes of Feng Bao, the big companion who accompanies Wanli every day. Convinced that the time was almost there, this morning, he made a killer move.

Every morning after the morning court, the emperor would spare one or two hours to learn the way of kingship. The so-called way of being a king is that the learned people of the Hanlin Academy will talk about the past and the present for the emperor, and tell the emperor what is right and wrong through historical events and historical figures, how to govern the country, and so on.

And today, the officials who told the emperor about history are talking about the various turmoil in the last years of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the story of the final Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe.

After giving a brief overview of the entire history, the official made an evaluation and explained: "Therefore, the most important thing for the monarch is to find the right subordinates, if you treat a wolf's ambitious courtier as a loyal minister like the Chai family, it will inevitably leave a great hidden danger to your descendants, especially when the lord is suspicious, even if there is no foreign invasion, the important minister who guards the army is also a great threat to the imperial power." In fact, there are many figures like Zhao Kuangyin in this history, such as Dong Zhuo in the late Han Dynasty, Sima Zhao in Cao Wei and so on. They are either abolished at will, so that their power continues to expand, or they completely cut off the world of the family and replace them, which can really be regarded as chaotic ministers and thieves. ”

After saying such a lot of alarmist words, the official said: "Of course, now that I am a Ming monarch and a minister, it is impossible for such a situation to occur. But if someone dares to secretly train troops under such circumstances, then even if he has no intention of being subordinate, I am afraid that he is not a credible person. ”

When he said that big set of words just now, Wanli was already faintly aware of something, and now when he heard such obvious words, how could he not know who he was talking about: "Are you saying that Yang Qing has a heart of disobedience when he practices Jinyiwei privately?" ”

"The subordinate does not dare to assert this, but Yang Zhen is true as a subordinate of his subordinates, and the minister as my Ming official does not dare to disagree!" When the official saw that the emperor had pointed out his true purpose, he no longer hid it, and immediately knelt on the ground and said: "For the sake of Your Majesty's country, and for the stability of my Ming Dynasty, the minister implores Your Majesty to severely punish Yang Zhen to set the record straight." ”

"This ......" The so-called public mouth is ruining the bones, when people keep saying bad things about Yang Zhen by their side, even if Wanli trusts Yang Zhen very much, he doesn't feel a little shaken.

Seeing that the emperor was so hesitant, Feng Bao, who was waiting on the side, was very happy, and knew that he had to work harder, so he also knelt down: "Your Majesty, the slave maid feels that Yang Zhen will not be such a traitorous person. But what he did this time was indeed too excessive, at least he should report to Your Majesty before training. Therefore, the slave maid thought that he should be punished first, demoted his official position, and handed over to the division to be handed over! ”

If Feng Bao hadn't jumped out to say these words at this time, Wanli might have really moved Yang Zhen's mind. But now, as soon as he said this, the emperor was suspicious again, could this be a game set up by Feng Bao to deal with Yang Zhen?

Under Yang Zhen's previous teaching, although Wanli was still a little immature, he already knew the way of checks and balances. As he grew older, his desire to control the imperial power also increased little by little, and of course he didn't want secret agencies like Dongchang and Jinyiwei to obey only one person's orders. And Yang Zhen's existence is a sharp weapon to balance Feng Bao.

Thinking of this, although Wanli was still a little unhappy in his heart, he changed his words when he came to his mouth: "Although there is some truth in what the two Aiqing said, I think that Yang Qing will never have any different intentions as you said. Well, I don't need to say anything more, I believe him. ”

Although the emperor said so, those who were close to him, such as Feng Bao and Sun Hai, still saw the uneasiness in his heart. So, the former planned to give Yang Zhen some eye medicine in two days, so that he would not be able to live in peace, and there would always be a chance to bring him down. The latter hurriedly sent his godson Ying Gonggong to report to Yang Zhen to warn him.

“…… This is the letter that Godfather asked us to bring to Lord Yang, I hope you can come up with a way to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise things will get worse and worse. Father-in-law Ying said, and got up to say goodbye.

Yang Zhen hurriedly stood up and threw his hand at him again and again: "Thank you for your concern from Grandpa Sun and Father-in-law Ying, and the lower officials are grateful." Father-in-law, it's getting late now, and the palace gate has been closed a long time ago, if you don't dislike it, please stay in the cold house first. ”

"Not necessarily." Father-in-law Ying immediately refused: "We still have things to do elsewhere, so we won't bother Lord Yang." ”

Seeing him say this, Yang Zhen didn't insist, and personally sent him out of the door, and when he said goodbye, he stuffed a silver ticket of five hundred taels into the other party's hand without a trace. This time, Father-in-law Ying didn't refuse, took it with a smile, and then walked away.
