Yang Zhen came from the Dongcheng Pavilion Station, which was quite far from the palace, and he was tired and tired all the way before, so he got up a little late in the morning, so he didn't hurry until the end of the morning dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There is an unwritten rule in the dynasty, but it is not good for any official who is ordered to return to Beijing before returning to the capital but not handing over the decree to the Son of Heaven, because at that time you are still representing the Son of Heaven, how can you go back to your home at will?

Although not many people care about this kind of thing in this era, Yang Zhen still carefully abides by this rule this time. Because he knows that now he has become the target of the Manchu officials, it is better not to show his flaws. So even though he had been away from home for a few months, he missed Zhang Jingyun very much, but he still honestly went to the pavilion to stay overnight, and only sent one of his subordinates to report his safety at home.

It's just that the world is unpredictable, although a mistake was avoided, Yang Zhen still had something wrong, and he who had planned to arrive at the beginning of the early dynasty was too late. When he hurried to the outside of the palace, the early dynasty had already begun for a long time, and officials were not allowed to enter and leave at will.

Fortunately, Yang Zhen's identity is not ordinary after all, and he has been an errand in the palace for a while, but he can still talk to the forbidden army guarding the palace gate, and he shows that he is sent by order to deliver the order, which makes these ordinary forbidden soldiers dare not embarrass him too much, and quickly send someone into the palace to deliver the news.

It stands to reason that even if Yang Zhen has a great face and can call someone to come in to deliver the news, but when he arrives at the Taihe Palace, I am afraid that it is impossible for anyone to dare to disturb the early dynasty. Whether it is the forbidden army guarding outside the palace or the ordinary palace attendants, they can tell the importance of the matter, and the news of suspending Yang Zhen may offend Yang Zhenfu, but if it disturbs the court meeting of the emperor and the ministers, it is a big sin.

But today's situation is a little unusual, as soon as he heard that Yang Zhen asked to see him outside the palace gate, a young attendant waiting outside the Taihe Hall immediately walked quickly to the palace gate without thinking, and took the opportunity to report to the emperor when he was quiet inside: "Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei calmed Yang Zhen and asked to see him outside the palace." He said he was here to give the decree......"

This abrupt sentence made all the officials with their own thoughts stunned: Why does this Yang Zhen also have Cao Cao's ability? As soon as he was mentioned, he actually arrived?

No, according to reason, shouldn't he still be in Jiangnan thousands of miles away? Why did he appear outside the palace, and he had an extra identity to give the decree? What is his will?

Everyone looked at the Son of Heaven who was sitting behind the imperial case with puzzled and surprised eyes, and almost asked him directly. And at this time, Wanli also swept away his previous uneasy appearance, and showed a determined smile on his face: "In this case, then Xuan Yangqing will enter the palace." ”

Because they couldn't understand what was going on for a while, all the officials had no intention of objecting. Only Liang Laixing spoke again because of the faint uneasiness in his heart: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to let Yang Zhen in with such a brocade guard as Yang Zhen above the court, right?" ”

Indeed, according to the rules, although Yang Zhen's official position is not low, he is not qualified to participate in today's small court.

But at this time, Wanli's confidence was already very sufficient, and he just smiled faintly in the face of such opposition: "Yang Qing went on an errand at my behest, and now that he comes back to hand in the order, he is still a messenger, why can't he come in and participate in the early dynasty?" Moreover, Liang Qing, aren't you and several Qing families impeaching Yang Qing? In that case, why not explain the matter to his face? In this case, I can make a decision based on the facts. ”

As soon as these two reasons were swinged, even if Liang Laixing had more reluctance, he couldn't refute it, so he could only say yes in a low voice, and then stopped speaking. Like him, the other officials who participated in the impeachment of Yang Zhen also felt a tense heart after seeing the emperor say this, and faintly realized that this matter would not be so easy to handle today.

The other officials in the palace immediately suppressed Zhang Juzheng's thoughts of beating the water dog, and decided to wait and see what would happen to Yang Zhen after he arrived, and then make the final choice.

After being silent for a long time, a long registration voice finally came from outside the hall again: "Jinyi Wei Zhen Fu Yang Zhen goes to the palace......"

With this chanting, Yang Zhen stepped into the Taihe Hall with solid steps, and only at the end of the arrangement of the ministers, he knelt down respectfully: "The ministers of Jinyi and the guard of the town Fu Yang Zhen to meet Your Majesty!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! As he spoke, he kowtowed vigorously three times.

Seeing him come in, the faces of the ministers all showed a strange look, even the little emperor Wanli was also surprised, stared at him for a long time before reacting, and gently raised his hand and said: "Yang Qing is exempt from courtesy, you come forward to speak." ”

Everyone in the palace will behave like this, just because Yang Zhen in front of him is really embarrassed, not to mention that it doesn't look like he came to face the king, but the ordinary people who go out are more decent than him. I saw that his clothes were covered with dust, not to mention, there were many damages, coupled with the appearance of a scruffy beard on his face, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a disaster victim who had escaped from the wilderness. If it weren't for everyone's fact that Yang Zhen was indeed him, I was afraid that he would be regarded as an impostor.

Wanli couldn't help frowning when he looked at Yang Zhen like this: "Yang Qing, your appearance is really out of place, why don't you change your clothes and enter the palace to see me?" ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive me, the minister only entered the capital yesterday, and then he was busy settling his wounded brothers, and only rested in the pavilion for two hours, and then rushed to the palace to give the decree, and forgot about his own situation for a while." Yang Zhen said and bowed down again to apologize.

Wanli asked this because he was afraid that someone would use this as an excuse to make trouble, but he didn't really blame him. With his understanding of Yang Zhen, since he came to see him like this, he must have his intentions. And after the emperor asked like this, it was really not good for other officials to attack Yang Zhen's crime of lightness.

Wanli heard the meaning of Yang Zhen's words, so he frowned slightly: "What the hell is going on?" Yang Qing, you obviously have injuries on your body, and you said that Jinyiwei is also injured, does anyone dare to hurt Jinyiwei? ”

Seeing that the emperor was so upright and cooperated with himself to raise this question, Yang Zhen's spirit was lifted, but his tone was a little heavy: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister led people back to Beijing from Jiangnan, and encountered no less than ten interceptions and ambushes along the way, thanks to the brothers who fought with their lives, they were able to return to Beijing safely." However, it also killed thirty-four Jinyiwei brothers. It's the incompetence of the ministers, who has lost the Jinyi Guard, and even more lost the face of the court, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him! With that, he knelt down again, looking like he was remorseful.

"What?" Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, not only the emperor and ordinary courtiers, but also Liang Laixing and a few others were surprised, and they couldn't believe that such a thing would happen under this great tomorrow.

Yang Zhen is the Jinyiwei pacification, and the Jinyiwei is the most trusted group of people around the emperor, if someone dares to attack them, it is almost the same as a rebellion!

Of course, some people secretly turned their minds in their hearts, feeling that Yang Zhen might be lying, but they couldn't guess why Yang Zhen said such things, was it to win sympathy?

"Yang Qing, get up and tell me the truth, what's going on? Who are those who dare to attack you? After being stunned for a moment, the emperor quickly returned to normal and hurriedly asked. It's just that his tone has become a little calm.

"Obey." Yang Zhen stood up at this time, and in a calm tone, he told the various situations in which he and the others had encountered enemy attacks after leaving Jiangnan, and talked straight to the final battle of Songluo Town, and finally expressed his opinion: "Although the previous minister had some suspicions, he did not dare to draw conclusions, but after the first battle of Songluo Town, the minister seized many bows and crossbows that were commonly used in the army from those thieves, and in addition, he also found several military waist cards from those killed enemies, so he was sure that it was my Ming army that wanted to kill us several times along the way...... ”

"What do you say? Is there such a thing? Everyone's expressions changed dramatically again, and Wanli exclaimed even more. Even Zhang Juzheng, who has always looked like a wood carving stone sculpture, also changed color slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Yang Zhen bowed his head and said: "The minister doesn't dare to bully the king, there is a waist card seized by the minister here." As he spoke, he took out a wooden waist card from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch beside him.

The emperor took the waist card, looked through it carefully, and found that he couldn't see anything famous, so he said: "Where is the book of the military department?" ”

"The minister is here!" At this time, the secretary of the military department has been replaced, and it is the right time to be in the prime of life. As soon as he heard the emperor's greeting, he hurriedly went out of class to agree, and then carefully took the waist card, and after looking at it for a while, he nodded and said: "Your Majesty, this is the common soldier waist card in my Ming army, according to the marks above, it is the letter that belongs to the Xuzhou Guard." ”

"I'll leave this matter to Fang Qing, you can find out, no matter who it is, but if it is related to the interception and killing of Jinyiwei, it must be investigated to the end and severely punished!" Wanli said coldly.

"Obey the order!" Fang Feng hurriedly agreed, and glanced at Yang Zhen again, knowing that this time the matter must be small, this guy is really a master who can make trouble.

Seeing that Yang Zhen arrived, he put himself and the others aside in a noisy manner, and only asked everyone to pay attention to the fact that their Jinyi Wei was intercepted and killed, which made Liang Laixing feel a little uncomfortable. Seeing that the matter had come to an end, he wanted to bring up the matter of impeachment again.

But just as he wanted to speak, Yang Zhen spoke one step ahead of him: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is no need to take such a painstaking effort to investigate in detail, if the ministers are right, the attack on the ministers this time should be from the Xu family in Huating County, that is, the family of the Xu Jie!" ”
