Section 396 Iron Case
"Punish the national thief, how can you talk about rebellion? If you are in a high position and do not want to be loyal to the country, but you are bent on betraying the country and seeking glory, you are a thief! ”
The two showmen righteously scolded Yang Chao and Zheng Hongkui and others beside him.
Although Zheng Hongkui and others were scolded, they seemed to understand something.
"Yang Dudu, I'm afraid this group of shows has misunderstood."
Rebellion, this must be rebellion!
It's not a crime of rebellion, how can you fill the army with 10,000 talents, so it's not a misunderstanding.
Yang Chao said firmly: "They have weapons in their hands, trespass into the palace, and scold us, is this a misunderstanding?" ”
"National thief, I don't share the sky with you!"
At this time, suddenly the two Xiucai exploded, and rushed up with short sticks, but their level was directly knocked down by the pro-soldier and was immediately arrested.
Yang Chao was furious: "Arrest, arrest them all for this governor, and interrogate them well, who is the master of them?" ”
At this time, the pro-soldiers began to move, and the soldiers who surrounded Xiucai also did it, but instead of killing people, they rushed in, beat people when they saw them, and ordered them to kneel on the ground.
Three times five divided by two, in a quarter of an hour, all the Xiucai were captured.
A total of 1,000 talents broke into the palace, each with a long and short club in his hand.
Who gave them the courage and why did they come to the palace?
One of those caught knew best.
Hou Fangyu, one of the four sons, hates Yang Chao's Hou Gongzi the most.
Mao Bijiang completed the work of Huang Fengfu, and Huang Fengfu told them that Yang Chao would negotiate with the envoys sent by the Qing court in the Forbidden City today to discuss the betrayal of the country.
The content of the negotiation was told to them by Huang Fengfu that the Qing court promised Yang Chao to break the territory and seal the territory, crown Yang Chao as the king of Huai, and give the two Huai regions to Yang Chao, and Yang Chao would dedicate Nanjing to the Qing court.
Betraying the country is an absolute traitor, how can the self-proclaimed loyal and upright fourth son accept this kind of thing.
But it is impossible for them to trust Huang Fengfu easily, after all, among the generals in the world, Yang Chao fought the most with the Qing army. The most hated fight, the Qing army killed was not 100,000 but also 80,000, and even exceeded one million in various rumors, although this number is too outrageous. But it is enough to prove that Yang Chao and the Qing court have a deep enmity like the sea, and others may surrender to the Qing court, how dare Yang Chao surrender to the Qing court.
But Huangfeng Mansion has ironclad evidence, that is, in the past three months, the Qing army has attacked Huguang, Jiangxi, and Sichuan. There are wars everywhere, but they don't fight Nanzhili or Yang Chao.
Thinking about it like this, the fourth prince believed it a little, and at the same time, they also believed in the character of Huang Fengfu, because Huang Fengfu even cooperated with the fourth prince now, and repeatedly begged the fourth prince to last save Yang Chao's life, how could such a loving and righteous person not be trusted?
So they believed in Huang Feng Mansion and adopted the advice given to them by Huang Feng Mansion. According to Huang Fengfu's analysis, as long as Yang Chao secretly communicates with the Qing court, and tries to dedicate Nanjing to the Qing court, Yang Chao's reputation will be stinky, and the Nangi army and people will definitely abandon Yang Chao and support the court instead.
The fourth prince can welcome the Son of Heaven back to the court, and then soar.
But the fourth prince still didn't dare, because fools knew it. It is impossible for a group of powerless talents to storm the palace guarded by Yang Chao.
But Huang Fengfu still has a backhand, and he told the fourth prince that the soldiers guarding the palace were guarded. It's his henchmen. As Yang Chao's first staff, he has a few henchmen in his hands, which is too normal, so the fourth prince has no reason to suspect it.
The last thing that made him worry was whether Huang Fengfu's henchmen were reliable or not, when their people were quietly taken into the palace by the guards and took a turn. And they believed.
Then came the action, they adopted the principle of voluntariness, picked out a thousand Xiucai who were not afraid of death, and then brought them into the palace.
It was very smooth, the defenders of Yuanwumen saw them coming, and immediately withdrew their defenses and let them enter the Forbidden City, and then the same was true of the defenders of Bei'anmen, which made Hou Fangyu, who led the team, feel that he was nine out of ten, as long as these soldiers didn't matter, they were enough to take Yang Chao at the venue with one thousand.
Hou Fangyu has even begun to plan to get rid of Yang Chao directly, although they promised the affectionate and righteous Huangfeng Mansion to spare Yang Chao's life, but it is inevitable that those who will achieve great things will be sacrificed.
But as soon as Hou Fangyu entered Bei'anmen, the situation immediately changed, and the soldiers rushed out from both sides of the East and West Palaces, and surrounded them before they could react, and then the soldiers shouted "Xiucai has rebelled".
At this time, Hou Fangyu suddenly woke up, they were fooled.
But it was too late to regret it, and when I think about it, everything is full of flaws, and although there is a certain degree of reasonableness, they just cling to that line of reasonableness, but don't you know that even the law emphasizes the statement that the evidence is not established, so they follow that line of reasonableness, but ignore more unreasonable situations.
What else can I say, Li Lingzhi is dizzy, the benefits are too great, as long as Yang Chao is taken, not only will they rebel all at once, and all the evil spirit that Yang Chao has bullied them over the years will be exhausted, but they will also be able to ascend to the sky in one step, make great achievements, and go straight to the court, which will make them thirst for power for many years.
So the fourth prince was involved in a clumsy conspiracy step by step, just like a street scam is so simple, but someone has been fooled again and again, it is greed that blinds people.
Now Hou Fangyu woke up, but it was too late, he hated, but he was even more afraid, fear instantly overwhelmed his mind, he was the son of a high-ranking official, ordinary crimes could not cure him, but the crime of rebellion, heaven could not save him.
At this time, Hou Fangyu was completely frightened, he hid in the crowd, knelt on the ground obediently like other talents, and lowered his head more than others, for fear of being recognized.
"Yang Dudu, there must be some misunderstanding, how could Xiucai break into the palace with a stick in vain."
"And just take a stick, I'm afraid these scholars are just messing around."
"Let's see, the scholars are Meng Lang, and they can be punished a little."
Whether it is Wang Xiong or Zheng Hongkui in Zhejiang, even the eunuchs look like big things are small.
Try to downplay the meaning of the show is to take and trespass into the palace.
Yang Chao had long known that other forces were eager to see the Hao clan fighting with Yang Chao, and Xiucai was the knife in the hands of the Hao clan, so they didn't want to see this knife break so easily.
So Yang Chao also nodded, as if moved by what they said.
But at this moment, there was suddenly smoke rising from several places behind him, and then he saw the light of fire.
Soon a soldier came to report: "Governor Dadu, Xiucai set fire to Taisheji in Xihuamen, Xiucai set fire to Taimiao in Donghuamen!" ”
Set fire to the palace, this meaning is too great to be erased.
But Zheng Hongkui is still insisting.
"I see. Something is strange, the talents are not deceived by others. ”
"It's possible that Xu was used by traitors."
"We think it must be so, eighty percent. It is the fine work of Jiannu. ”
This group of people is still washing the floor for Xiucai, but they think that there is a mastermind behind the scenes, and this is enough, which is exactly what Yang Chao wants.
You can't beat Xiucai with one trespassing on the palace, and it's okay to say one or two. But 10,000 talents are hard to say.
So they proposed that there was a mastermind behind the scenes, and finally brought out a few as scapegoats, and it was okay.
Yang Chao just pushed the boat down the river, and the latter was prepared for these people.
"Grab them all and interrogate them well!"
Yang Chao immediately ordered.
The interrogation was easy and transparent, and soon a few talents were recruited.
They said righteously that they were going to defeat Yang Chao, but after beating Yang Chao, they planned to welcome the king Zhu Cijiong to the throne as emperor.
Zhu Cijiong still lives in Yang Chao's house, and he is unwilling to be the emperor. But the vast majority of readers don't see it that way, they believe that it was Yang Chao who oppressed King Ding and did not let Zhu Cijiong become the emperor, and it was Yang Chao who wanted to monopolize power and seek to usurp the throne.
Although Qian Qianyi and other officials know the truth, ordinary people like to believe in these conspiracy theories.
So it was a very reasonable motive to defeat Yang Chao, welcome the three princes of Emperor Chongzhen, and set up King Zhu Cijiong to ascend the throne.
This motive was so reasonable that the internal market of Erlishe was large, although the fourth prince tended to welcome the Longwu Emperor of Fujian to return to the court. But I can't stop the voices that show talents still have hope for Zhu Cijiong to ascend the throne.
So in the first trial, there were a few Xiucai who were not afraid of death at all, and they spoke out righteously. And put on a posture of being calm and righteous.
Are these showmen really not afraid of death, that's not, the reason why they dare to say this is because they are Yang Chao's people.
It is not easy to subdue a few Xiucai with Yang Chao's power, in fact, Huangfeng Mansion is in Suzhou, although it has encountered the confrontation of most wealthy families. But it is not that there is no defection, and more than a dozen people have quietly taken refuge in him.
Huang Fengfu accepted the surrender of these families, and then asked these people, like other families, to send famous talents in the family to respond to the four sons of the Erli Society to make trouble in Nanjing.
Not only are a few 'honest' people who confess to Yang Chao, but even the people who attacked Yang Chao with sticks in the palace are also Yang Chao's people, otherwise they would dare to beat a military general like Yang Chao with two sticks with those scholars who have no power to restrain chickens?
Although not everyone said so in Zhengda Guangming's interrogation, not everyone wanted to welcome Zhu Cijiong, but as long as there was one voice, it was enough, and Yang Chao arranged not just one, but a large number.
As for whether others believe it or not, as long as the emperor in Fujian believes it, it is enough.
And will the emperor believe it?
He must believe, he dare not disbelieve!
The scholars have the voice of Zhu Cijiong, so where is this Zhu Cihuan?
In the struggle for imperial power, a small voice is enough, and for the emperor, to engage in his power, it is to rebel.
Yang Chao did not directly use force to suppress Xiucai, because then the people of the world are bound to oppose it, and public opinion will definitely crusade against Yang Chao, although there is no actual harm, but the side effects are too great, without a good reputation, you will not get the sincere cooperation of others, and Yang Chao's army will be questioned wherever it goes in the future, which is not good.
Yang Chao prefers that wherever his army fights, it will be regarded as a liberator, rather than an enemy and a thief.
Therefore, Yang Chao did not use force, or even come forward himself, only let the Xiucai admit that they had plans to establish a new monarch, and the little emperor was the first to jump out and determine that these Xiucai had rebelled.
Then don't do Yang Chao's business, on the contrary, Yang Chao has to sing a red face and plead for the talents. (To be continued.) )
