The next morning, Chai Yuan asked Bao Gang: "Lord Bao, I heard that yesterday, the case of Lin Aiqing's son and Wang Aiqing's son competing for Miss Yang has been concluded?" ”

Bao Gang saw the emperor asking him, and hurriedly went out of class and said, "Not bad!" Your Majesty, the minister has already interrogated and understood it yesterday. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Chai Yuan asked with interest: "Who won the lawsuit?" Speak quickly to me. ”

Bao Gang said solemnly: "It was Lin Yi who won the lawsuit, and the minister has found out clearly, when Miss Yang was in Yangzhou, she was ransomed by Lin Gongzi, but Yang Mansion has not spent money to redeem her back, so until yesterday, Miss Yang has always been Lin Gongzi's person, and there is no such thing as cheating Wang Jinglong's fiancée." ”

This source said angrily: "In this case, Yang Aiqing, why didn't you redeem your daughter and marry her to Wang Aiqing's son?" ”

Yang Jichang looked flustered, and hurriedly went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, it is Yang Fu, the minister's family, who was overlooked for a while, and the minister didn't know the inside story. ”

Chai Yuan nodded and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty, and I forgive you for not guilty." According to the law of the Great Zhou, have you bought your daughter back? ”

Yang Jichang bowed down and said, "The minister has been redeemed and bought!" ”

"To whom have you betrothed your daughter?" Chai Yuan asked.

"I ...... I ...... that the minister married his daughter to Lin Yi. Yang Jichang gritted his teeth and said truthfully.

"Oh......" Chai Yuan opened his mouth into an O-shape and asked in surprise, "Didn't you always call Lin Aiqing a traitor?" How could he marry his daughter to his son? And how could Wang Aiqing give in? ”

Yang Jichang was speechless for a while, if he told the story of his daughter conspiring with Lin Yi to deceive him in court, wouldn't it seem that he didn't know anyone? and the performance of the Wang family's father and son, it is really disappointing, if Wang Jinglong insisted on fighting for his daughter's corpse at that time, instead of revealing his true form, how could he be sad and promise his daughter to a thief surnamed Lin in a daze? Wang Kan is the confidant of the eighth prince, in front of so many ministers, how can he tell the evil deeds of their father and son? After all, they are the people of the Eight Wise Kings! I have to rely on this big tree.

Bao Gang and Yang Jichang have always had a good relationship, and when he saw this, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Shilang didn't want to, but thinking of his daughter's sincerity with Lin Gongzi, he fulfilled them." He deliberately skimmed over the fact that Lin Yi and Yang Huijuan conspired to fake their deaths and deceive everyone, so as not to say it in front of the court and make some people look bad.

Chai Yuan nodded and said: "I see, I hope that you can put the community first in the future, and don't form gangs and get involved in party disputes." Then he said this very heavily, and it meant to knock down his subordinates.

The faces of the ministers changed sharply, and they didn't dare to gasp, while Yang Jichang and Wang Kan were even more panicked, glanced at Chai Yuan uneasily, and quietly lowered their heads.

Seeing that the ministers were so frightened by themselves that their faces changed, Chai Yuan laughed and said: "Today's morning dynasty, the political affairs have been completed, let's disperse the dynasty!" "With that, get up and go straight back to the palace!

Yesterday lost the lawsuit, and today was intimidated by the emperor with a gun and a stick, Yang Jichang was in a very bad mood, and returned home depressed. Madame said that as soon as you return, you should go to her house, and she has something important to discuss. ”

"Got it!" Yang Jichang responded lightly, got up and walked towards the inner house. As soon as he entered, he saw his wife sitting at a round table, with a solemn face, and a newspaper spread out on the round table.

"Madame! What are you looking for me? Yang Jichang squeezed out a smile on his face and asked.

Madame glanced at him and said coldly, "What did you do?" There is no such old fool as you in this world! ”

Am I confused? Yang Jichang was angry in his heart, and was about to sneer at each other, when he saw his wife pointing to the newspaper on the table and said, "Look, this is the Bianjing Daily issued this morning, and there is an article about you?" ”

"Say me?" Yang Jichang asked suspiciously, walked to the table and sat down, picked up the newspaper on the table and read it. I saw that in the eye-catching place on the front page of the newspaper, there was an article written called "Exposing the True Face of the Great Loyal Minister Yang Jichang".

"Humph! The old man has always been upright, upright, not a loyal minister, has he become a traitor? Yang Jichang sneered, and then looked down, the article was written in vernacular, listing his three major crimes. The first is that it is unkind and unjust to violate the words of the sage, knowing that his daughter has married Lin Yi as his wife, but violating the principle that a woman should follow the rules and forcing her daughter to remarry and destroying her chastity.

"Is the Father still the Son? Why don't you say it? Yang Jichang snorted unconvinced, and looked at the next one.

Article 2: Advocating empty talk, misleading the country and the people. The article pointed out that in recent years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has had border troubles outside and famine inside, and the imperial court's finances have been unable to make ends meet, and the emperor wanted to tax the scholars in order to solve the financial crisis, but Yang Jichang did everything possible to oppose the law of the ancestors on the grounds that the law of the ancestors could not be changed, and passed on the taxes to the poor people. It's okay for the common people to take money from them, but it's not possible to take money out of the country by themselves, and they can be big traitors. And Yang Jichang is their spokesperson. The article also cites specific examples of the emperor's plan to levy a land tax on the famous jinshi in order to solve the financial crisis, but he took the lead in opposing it.

"This ...... This is the national policy set by His Majesty Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty in order to attract scholars from all over the world, how can it be easily changed? Yang Jichang refuted in his heart, but sweat flowed down his head and fell to the ground in a stream. He had already faintly seen many poor people, yelling at him loudly, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, Yang Jichang cheered up again and looked at the next one.

Article 3: Arbitrarily discuss the government and government, and judge the characters according to what is already good. The article pointed out that Lin Yi's father, Lin Yongkang, in order to solve the financial crisis of the imperial court, proposed to the emperor many times to levy taxes on the big landlords, the powerful and powerful, and the scholars and doctors across the country to solve the financial crisis of the imperial court. However, his words and deeds were intimidated by Yang Jichang and others, and he resolutely opposed this, pulling the back legs of the imperial court's finances, resulting in a tight financial situation for the imperial court, and the border soldiers and ordinary officials sometimes couldn't even pay their salaries, and some of the reform measures of Lin Yongkang and others were denounced by Yang Jichang and others as big traitors, the article asked, if Lin Yongkang and others are big traitors, how can you have a way to solve the financial crisis, and do you have to tax the poor people? Since Taizu, the acres of land that the imperial court can use to collect taxes have been halved, and the burden on the common people has virtually doubled.

Ah! This is very serious, Yang Jichang has been set up on the opposite side of the poor people, and the people of the world don't hate themselves when they learn the truth? Yang Jichang's heart felt as if someone had hit him with a sledgehammer, and the newspaper in his hand fell under the table unconsciously, his face turned pale, and his body froze.

"Sir...... Master...... Oh no! There is a large group of students making trouble in front of our house, saying that you are a traitor, and they want to break in and beat you? A family member ran in in a panic and said.

Madame stood up in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered, "Go quickly!" Gather men and shut the door of the house for me, and let no one in. ”

The family took the order and rushed away.

Yang Jichang stood up and said calmly: "I don't believe that the old man's innocent reputation for many years can be ruined by an article in a newspaper!" After that, he strode towards the gate of the mansion and walked, and when he reached the second gate, he heard someone shouting loudly outside the gate of the mansion: "The traitor Yang Jichang doesn't dare to come out to see us, classmates, let's take bricks and tiles and smash them in, and smash this son of a bitch to death." As soon as the words fell, bricks, tiles and small stones were thrown into the house like raindrops, and with a "bang", a half-head brick smashed heavily on the door frame of the second door, which frightened Yang Jichang and hid behind the door.

"Sir! Master! It's not safe here, so I think you'd better hide in the house! A family member suggested.

"Good! Good! Let's hurry to the inner house! Yang Jichang glanced at the bricks and tiles thrown in like raindrops, and hurriedly ran back to the inner house.

"Sir, sir! Now which students are making a fierce fuss, and the family members are almost unbearable, what should we do now? A family member ran in again, looking panicked and asking him for advice.

"Quick! Quickly took the master's post and slipped out of the back door, went to Kaifeng Mansion, asked Master Bao for help, and begged him to send a few officials to protect my house! Yang Jichang preached with a pale face.

The family took the sticker, turned around and ran away, and then the lady stood up from her seat with a cold face and said coldly: "I'll go to see this Lin Yi, he is so bold, even his old father-in-law dares to fix it?" ”

"The old man doesn't have this daughter and this son-in-law." Yang Jichang said angrily.

Mrs. blamed him and said: "It was originally a good family, but you have to get along with your son-in-law, which Lin Yi is not good, a famous talent in the capital, and he is also chic and charming, I like it when I look at it, but you have to be the master to promise your daughter to which Wang Jinglong, which Wang Jingchuan is notoriously narrow-minded, what is good about his daughter with him?" What an old fool! ”

Yang Jichang said angrily: "His father is a big traitor, he is a little traitor, even if I die, I will not marry my daughter to him." ”

Mrs. sneered when she heard this: "Treacherous or not, it's not you who have the final say, but the people of the world who have the final say. ”

"How did I rot?" Yang Jichang shouted with red eyes.

"When your daughter drank the poison yesterday, why didn't you persuade her, didn't stop it, and let her drink it, if any bottle of poison was true, wouldn't it kill my daughter? It's not the meat you gave birth to in October, don't you feel distressed? Madame has always been tough in the Yang Mansion, but at this time, she also opened her eyes, slapped the table and roared at Yang Jichang, venting the dissatisfaction she had hidden in her heart.

Yang Jichang and his wife have been together for more than 20 years, they are a couple in distress, they have always been afraid of guilt, yesterday did not stop their daughter from drinking poison, and when they came back, they called their wife a good meal to complain, and today they saw that their wife turned out yesterday's old accounts, and they knew that they were at a loss, and they did not dare to hard-top, so they sat down angrily, and said with a straight face: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, and the old man can ask the sky to be ashamed!" ”

Madame snorted coldly, ignored him anymore, turned her head and instructed the maid beside her, Caizhi: "Caizhi, arrange the carriage and horses, Mrs. Ben is going to visit my daughter and son-in-law!" ”

"Don't go!" Yang Jichang shouted.

"Don't go, are you waiting to be beaten by some group of students? You old fool, old stubborn, you don't recognize your daughter and son-in-law, I do! Caizhi, let's go! Look at the new aunt to go! Madame glanced at Yang Jichang with disdain on her face and walked out of the house.

"Are you ......" Yang Jichang pointed to the back of his wife's departure, speechless for a long time, and finally sat down in the chair with a demented expression, and muttered with a puzzled face: "Am I really a rotten Confucian?"
