Although Yang Yiqing didn't know what Xie Shen was going to say, he felt very powerful!

Xie Shen didn't want to go around in circles with Yang Yiqing, so he said directly: "Maybe Lord Yang thinks the arrangement is seamless, but he didn't expect the people from the West Factory to suddenly appear, right?" ”

Yang Yiqing's heart sank when he heard this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xie Shen, what does this mean? He actually took the initiative to admit that Gu Dayong led the crowd to trespass on his Yang Mansion?

Isn't that a donkey kicked in the head?

Although he was very puzzled, Yang Yiqing was overjoyed.

His original design was to be able to control Xie Shen, so that he could be regarded as catching a rapist in bed, and Xie Shen could not defend himself.

But who knew that it would be useful to kill a valley halfway, and snatch Xie Shen away with a group of fans.

In this way, Yang Yiqing said that there was no basis. The people who can testify for him are all the family members of the Yang Mansion, and they have no weight.

He thought that Xie Shen would find all kinds of excuses, and deliberately concealed the part of Gu Da that saved people. Who would have thought that Xie Shen would say it in front of the Son of Heaven.

Isn't that God helping him?

Zhu Houzhao was also confused. What does Mr. Xie mean by this, is what Mr. Yang is telling the truth?

"Hmph, Jifu still has the face to say this? What is the crime of befriending the eunuchs of the West Factory without authorization? What is the crime of trespassing on the mansion of a magnate? ”

Yang Yiqing is a veteran official, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will never let go, but will chase and fight hard to maximize his interests.

"You're wrong."

Xie Shen smiled slightly: "Father-in-law Gu led someone to break into your mansion because I didn't return all night, and my family was worried and went to ask Xichang to come forward to investigate." And everyone knows that after the farewell banquet that night, I went to your house with Lord Yang. Xie disappeared suddenly, normal people's thinking is to go to your house to have a look first, right? As for the *** concubine you said, it's even more nonsense. ”

"Hmph, you say no, no? You say no, no, no? Are you Xie Cifu so domineering? ”

Yang Yiqing shook his beard and said coldly.

"Of course, there is no basis for words, but what if there is evidence?"

Evidence?

How can there be evidence?

Yang Yiqing's face was obviously a little ugly, although he felt that he didn't show any flaws, but Xie Shen was so calm, he must have a back hand.

"I always thought you were an aphrodisiac in tea, but now it seems that I was wrong."

Xie Shen smiled bitterly: "As soon as I entered your study, I smelled a strong fragrance, which is very abnormal. It is not surprising that literati liked incense, but it was rare to use such a pungent incense. It turns out that this incense is mixed with tea to have an effect. Lord Yang is afraid that it took a lot of effort to concoct this acacia, right? ”

"You, you're full of nonsense. What a acacia! The old man is also in the house, according to what you say, why didn't the old man be drugged? ”

Yang Yiqing stretched his neck and defended himself.

Xie Shen shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is where you excel." As I just said, under normal circumstances, if you are drugged, you will think of tea and snacks, and you will never think of incense. And Lord Yang's Hehuan San, it is necessary to smell the incense and drink the tea to have a medicinal effect, and simply occupy one will not be tricked. Obviously, Lord Yang did not drink tea. ”

Xie Shen has been paying attention to this detail, and Yang Yiqing has not drunk tea from beginning to end.

At first, Xie Shen didn't think about it, but now that he thinks about it, he did it on purpose.

Just smelling the incense will not be poured by the medicine, and if you drink the tea that has made your hands and feet at the same time, you will be soft and hot.

After that, everything is in Yang Yiqing's arrangement.

Xie Shen was sent to the wing room to rest. Yang Yiqing had already arranged for his concubine to seduce Xie Shen, and finally fell in love with him.

At that time, Xie Shen had lost the ability to resist, and I was a sword, and I was a fish......

"You are talking nonsense, you have done such dirty things, and you have made up such arguments, it is really a deception."

Yang Yiqing was exposed to the trick, sweating profusely in a hurry, and scolded directly.

"Lord Yang really doesn't shed tears when he sees the coffin."

Xie Shen shook his head and took out a folded paper bag from his sleeve.

"When I left Lord Yang's mansion, the people of the West Factory found the spices that had not yet been burned to ashes in the incense burner, plus the tea leaves that fell on the corner of the table......"

Although he didn't finish speaking, Yang Yiqing's face was already like ashes.

No, no! How is this possible, how is it possible!

Yang Yiqing made a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that the people in the West Factory would observe it so meticulously, and even the spices and tea leaves would be collected. What's even more infuriating is that they will even re-burn incense and make tea to restore the scene......

Zhu Houzhao already understood most of this when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine that Yang Yiqing was such a hypocrite. What's even more infuriating is that he specially set up a bureau to trap Mr. Xie for the sake of power struggle.

This is really a shame for the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Yiqing has read the books for so many years, and he really read it into the stomach of a dog.

"Yang Qingke has anything else to say?"

Zhu Houzhao's voice was cold.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to this guy's words, the old minister has been wronged."

In an instant, the situation was reversed, and the offensive and defensive trends were different, which was really gratifying.

"Enough, if you have anything to say, let's talk to the people in the West Factory." Zhu Houzhao thought that Yang Yiqing would repent and take the initiative to admit his evil deeds and strive for leniency. Who knew that this guy still looked like he didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, so he had to be handed over to the West Factory for interrogation.

Hearing that the Son of Heaven was going to be handed over to the West Factory by him, Yang Yiqing almost wanted to die headlong.

Strictly speaking, the factory guards are terrible guys. Whether it is Jinyiwei or the East Factory or the West Factory, it can easily make people fall off a layer of skin. However, the specific situation has to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Who doesn't know that Xie Shen and the eunuch Gu Dayong of the West Factory are friends?

And Xie Shen was rescued by Gu Dayong from his Yang Yiqing's mansion.

Now that the Son of Heaven has called Xichang to interrogate him, isn't that tantamount to sentencing him to Yang Yiqing's death sentence?

Yang Yiqing shook his head unwillingly and said, "Your Majesty really doesn't believe in the old minister?" Your Majesty thinks what that guy said is true? Where is the old minister inferior to him? ”

"How can I believe you? Why don't you try this acacia for yourself? ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said, "I think that at the beginning, you were able to become the governor or recommended by Mr. Xie." I can't imagine that you don't want to repay the favor, and you have a heart of harm. I know what you're thinking, it's nothing more than the position of the first assistant. Mr. Xiya's Zhishi makes you think about it. You just think that Mr. Xie is young and it will be difficult to convince the public to take over as the first assistant. Only then did he have a bad intention, and he planned to use this kind of subordinate means to ruin Mr. Xie's reputation, and then calmly ascend to the top. It's a pity that the magic is one foot high, and the road is one foot high. The people of the West Factory discovered your attempt and left evidence behind. Otherwise, I might have really been deceived by you and wronged Mr. Xie. ”

......

......

The dignified governor of the three sides, Yang Yiqing, a senior member of the department, became a prisoner in an instant, which is inevitably embarrassing.

However, this also made the civil and military officials above the court recognize the situation - His Majesty the Emperor has great trust in Xie Cifu. Anyone who tries to wrestle with Xie Cifu will end up miserable.

Jane is in the emperor's heart, these four words are sometimes unconvinced.

Although the opponents Xie Shen faced were all old ministers of several dynasties, with the super ironclad support of Emperor Zhengde, no one really could beat him.

Press these and don't mention them. However, he said that Yang Yiqing did not immediately accept interrogation after being taken to the West Factory.

This is also Gu Dayong's intention.

He has been engaged in interrogation work for a long time, so that Gu Dayong has summed up a set of practical experience.

The strategies for dealing with the first- and second-grade senior officials and the middle-level officials of the fourth and fifth grades are definitely different.

The middle-level officials of the fourth and fifth grades themselves have little influence, and more often they charge into battle as pawns. Once the thing fails, it is the first to be thrown out as a shield.

Such people are directly punished and served, and they are not afraid that they will not confess.

However, the senior officials of the first and second grades are different.

First, they have a very high status in the court, and some even have protégés and former officials all over the world. If you punish them before you have absolute evidence, you will probably get a lot of blood.

Second, these officers are generally extremely meticulous in their work, and they can calmly deal with changes. It is difficult to get them to speak up with simple torture. To deal with such people, it is obviously more appropriate to play psychological warfare.

Leave them to dry out first, so that they don't know where the interrogators intend to start. When the time is ripe, and then quickly arraignment, unexpected results can often be obtained.

Yang Yiqing is a member of the department, the governor of the three sides, and he has never seen any strong winds and waves.

Although there is now sufficient evidence to prove that he harmed Xie Shen, as long as he refuses to admit his guilt, the turmoil in the court will not subside. There is no guarantee that a few speculators will jump out and make a fuss about it.

If this matter is not handled well, it will have a very bad impact on Xie Shen's official reputation.

Even if Xie Shen takes over as the first assistant, it will be difficult to convince the public.

Therefore, Gu Dayong is doing this for the sake of safety, and there is no problem.

After three days in a row, no one interrogated Yang Yiqing, which made Old Man Yang unable to sit still.

He protested several times and asked Gu Dayong to see him.

But where would the jailer listen to his noise, and directly ignored the roar of the former governor, he should play shuanglu and play shuanglu, and he should drink and drink.

Now Yang Yiqing was really panicked.

No matter how Gu Dayong interrogated him, he had a way to deal with it. It's a big deal to suffer some flesh and skin, but you can exchange it for the sympathy of the Manchu civil and military.

But now it seems that Gu Dayong has completely hung him out.

There is only one possibility, and that is that the Son of Heaven no longer cares about his life or death.

After all, it was the Son of Heaven who personally asked Xichang to interrogate him. Gu Dayong needs to be directly responsible for the Son of Heaven, so the result of the interrogation is very important, and he must get the confession as soon as possible, so that he can make a good deal.

And Gu Dayong is not in a hurry at all, could it be that His Majesty the Emperor has lost interest in this case?

That's the scariest thing!

A courtier who has been forgotten by the emperor will end up extremely miserable, which Yang Yiqing knows very well.

And trapped within the high walls of this Xichang prison, Yang Yiqing was unable to contact his protégés in the same party, and could not obtain any information and assistance from the outside world.

And worse is yet to come.

Yang Yiqing overheard the news from several jailers that Xie Shen had taken over as the first assistant to the cabinet.

This news, which sounds extremely ordinary to ordinary people, almost made Yang Yiqing go straight away.

He thought that Xie Shen would take over as the first assistant after his case was closed, but he never thought that just a few days after he was imprisoned, Xie Shen would take over the mantle of Li Dongyang and become the new first assistant of the Zhengde Dynasty.

Doesn't this mean that no matter how his case is pronounced, it will not have an impact on Xie Shen?

This sense of disparity made Yang Yiqing almost collapse, and even responded with a hunger strike.

It's a pity that his stomach is not as competitive as he imagined, and he still took the initiative to eat the bowl of coarse grain prison rice after two days of hunger strike.

Just after Yang Yiqing's psychological defense line completely collapsed, Gu Dayong finally decided to interrogate him.

At this moment, Yang Yiqing no longer has the spirit of confrontation before, and all of them have confessed.

This made Gu Dayong very surprised. He originally thought that Yang Yiqing would entangle with him, but he never thought that he would recruit them all.

Maybe this is more mourning than death.

The normal reaction of an old politician, an old bureaucrat after learning that his career is hopeless.

Gu Da ordered the scribe to record Yang Yiqing's confession in detail, and sent it to Zhu Houzhao, the son of heaven, as soon as possible.

The next thing will be handed over to Zhu Houzhao.

The Great Tomorrow will personally make a judgment on Yang Yiqing's fate.

However, this is not an easy matter, after all, Yang Yiqing is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and his status in the civil official group is extremely high. If it is handled even more inappropriately, it will provoke strong opposition from the civilian clique.

But if Yang Yiqing was easily spared, Zhu Houzhao felt sorry for Xie Shen.

It's really not enough for outsiders to be entangled.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao usually thinks of Xie Shen, but Xie Shen is the party concerned in this matter, and it is really difficult to ask.

Zhu Houzhao struggled like this for three days and did not make a final decision.

Finally, Gu Dingchen couldn't stand it anymore.

He personally wrote to the Son of Heaven to exile the former governor Yang Yiqing to Qiongzhou.

Now Gu Dingchen is the second-in-command of the cabinet, and his words still carry a lot of weight.

After Gu Dingchen wrote the book, many officials of the science and Taoism echoed it and agreed with the second assistant's request.

The ministers' statement made Zhu Houzhao no longer embarrassed, and readily agreed to the invitation of Gu Dingchen and the officials.

These officials are the most rudder-watching, and when they see that Xie Shen's victory has been decided, they think of the icing on the cake, and they naturally do not hesitate to sell the benefits.

Zhu Houzhao is naturally happy to be like this.

First, this punishment suggestion was put forward by the civilian clique itself, and he just obeyed the wishes of the hundred officials.

Second, the punishment is not too cruel. Zhu Houzhao himself doesn't like to kill people, not to mention that it is too degrading for an old minister of the Three Dynasties like Yang Yiqing to be killed in Xishi. Although he did some things under his means, after all, the crime is not death, and exile is the most appropriate punishment, which can not only abolish Yang Yiqing's political life, but also not let him really be in a different place.

Sometimes it is more desperate for a politician to abolish his political life than to take his life.

The Son of Heaven dealt with a farce with thunderous means, and the transfer of power to Shousuke was also thrilling. Manchu officials and even the Son of Heaven himself could finally refocus their energies on political affairs. This is crucial, because the Zhengde New Deal is in the most critical period of implementation, and any small change at this moment will take the Ming Empire in a completely different direction.
