Chapter 533 Qiu Luan falls
Then "Tan Lun" didn't look back, and sighed: "How did you see my identity?" β
Sky Wolf nodded: "First, with Tan Lun's martial arts, it is impossible to hide from me and Qu Caifeng, and those who can hide their aura all the time and not be detected by us outside the door must be the top masters." Second, Tan Lun is just the prefect of Taizhou, he has no power to unknowingly clear all the guests in the inn in the city, this can only be done by Jinyi Wei, if it is a general tolerance, he will already make a fuss outside. Third, how could Tan Lun follow us to this inn, and still be able to reveal my identity, who else can do these three things, except for Lord Lu, the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei? β
Lu Bing turned around, the mask had been taken off by him, he shook his head and sighed: "Then do you know why I pretended to be Tan Lun and brought you here to meet?" β
The wolf's eyes observed the surroundings, and from the moment he entered this small alley, he noticed that there was nothing special about this place, there was no one in the entire back alley, and there was obviously a secret whistle at the end of the alley, and even the few people who set up stalls at the entrance of the alley to do small business when they entered this alley could judge from the occasional flash of divine light in their eyes from time to time that these were Lian Jiazi.
Heavenly Wolf smiled: "This should be a secret base of Jinyi Guard in Nanjing City, Chief Commander Lu, you brought me here, you should want to review this operation with me, of course, these can't be heard by Miss Qu." β
Lu Bing's face sank like water, and he shook his head: "This is only one aspect, the situation is not good now, and the more important thing is to formulate the next contingency plan quickly." β
Sky Wolf also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What." Could it be that the entire strategy of uniting Qiu Luan and dealing with Yan Song's father and son should also be changed? Not really. β
Lu Bing sighed softly: "Do you know why Yan Shifan dared to leave Beijing alone, do you know why I couldn't come to help you for so many days?" β
Sirius shook his head. These days after leaving Jingshi, he didn't know anything about the court situation.
A trace of helplessness and loneliness flashed in Lu Bing's eyes: "The situation in the DPRK and China has changed abruptly, Qiu Luan has fallen, and the ministers of the Qing faction originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat Yan Song, but they attacked carelessly, which made Long Yan angry." The Jinyi Guard, who impeached Yan Song's father and son, and Yang Jisheng, a member of the military department, were all imprisoned. The resurgence of Yan Song's father and son is no longer something we can confront head-on. Even if you take the account books to the capital this time, it will not be possible for the Yan Party to suffer any losses, but it may bring death to yourself!"
The wolf is now scorched on the outside and tender on the inside. I didn't come back to my senses for a long time. After a long time, he muttered: "How can this be, what is going on?" β
Lu Bing sighed and said, "Since you left Jingshi, a lot of things have happened, Qiu Luan has become more and more arrogant after getting the promise that we will support him, and Xu Jie and the others of the Qing School also feel that Qiu Luan has come forward to fight Yan Song. It's a good opportunity that can't be sought, probably because they think Qiu Luan is an upstart. But the foundation is not stable, do not take advantage of the Holy Dependents to launch a fatal blow to Yan Song's party, if the details of the border war are played by Yan Song in the future, then Qiu Luan will fall before Yan Song, so the ministers of the Qing faction took out a lot of evidence of Yan Party's crimes secretly collected over the years, gave Qiu Luan, and asked him to come forward to impeach Yan Song. β
"It's just that Qiu Luan himself after reading those incriminating evidence, just felt that those were all evidence of corruption among the officials promoted by Yan Song, but few of them pointed directly at Yan Song himself, so he didn't directly impeach Yan Song to the emperor, but just said that the officials promoted by Yan Song were rampant, and Yan Song had the responsibility of negligence.
Tian Wolf's brows furrowed: "This must be the old thief's father and son's strategy of retreating, on the one hand, hiding to show weakness, in order to win sympathy, and to make Qiu Luan, a fool, lose his vigilance, and on the other hand, secretly instruct himself that the party henchmen from the central government to the local government have begun to slack off, so that the whole country is in a semi-paralyzed state, in order to demonstrate to the emperor, tell him that his current court, Yan Song really can't play without him, and force him to make a choice between Yan Dang and Qiu Luan now." It's a pity that this revenge Luan is greedy and stupid, he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and he doesn't know that a catastrophe is coming. In this way, I am afraid that even those ministers of the Qing School will turn to the well and attack Qiu Luan. β
Lu Bing nodded: "Your analysis is completely correct, Qiu Luan thought he was proud, and when Yan Song couldn't avoid it for the time being, he also went to the cabinet every day, whether it was Yan Party or the Qing School ministers in the cabinet, they all greeted him with a smile, but behind his back he reported his interference in the cabinet to the emperor, which made Long Yan angry. To retrieve his big seal of the general Pingyu, Qiu Luan was so frightened and frightened that the arrow wound on his back attacked, and he died within two days. β
The wolf was silent, and after a while, he said slowly: "The arrow wound was still the last time I fought with the Mongolian army, I was hit by an arrow on my back when I fled, if I hadn't been guarding him, I was afraid that the arrow would kill him, hmph, as a general, he had no way to fight, he took the lead in escaping, and he was hit by the Mongolian arrow on his back, and he didn't kill him at that time, but he died on it in less than half a year, this is really a cycle of heaven, and the retribution is not happy." Commander Lu, Qiu Luan is finished like this, so isn't Yan Song's party covering the sky with one hand? β
Lu Bing sighed: "The matter is not over yet, although Qiu Luan fell, Yan Song refused to stop there, and began to wantonly capture Qiu Luan's comrades and subordinates, those two Hou Rong and Shi Yi, who were the same knowledge and servants in our brocade guard, became the first target of the search, the emperor strictly ordered these two to be taken down, after they heard the rumors, they wanted to escape from the Ming Dynasty from the mouth of Gubei and defect to Mongolia, I personally led people to take them down in Gubeikou, after two days of trial, these two people confessed all the things of Qiu Luan colluding with Mongolia, killing good and risking merit, and turning defeat into victory, even colluded with Yan Song to frame Zeng Mo and Xia Yan, and confessed. β
The Celestial Wolf shook his head: "Now it's useless to say that. The emperor wants to save face, and it is impossible for him to admit that he killed Zhongliang by mistake, at most he will only bring his hatred to foreign countries. The incompetence of guarding the border is made public. β
Lu Bing nodded: "Yes, in the end, Qiu Luan's crime was punished for this crime, Qiu Luan was cut off, the coffin was opened, and the corpse was killed, and his wife and children were all punished as official slaves, as for Shi Yi and Hou Rong, these dead friends were beheaded for the crime of rebellion." In any case, it can be regarded as avenging half of the unjust death of Zeng Mo and Xia Yan. β
Heavenly Wolf continued to ask: "The minister of the Qing Sect is afraid that he doesn't want to stop here, and he wants to take Yan Song as well." Do they also continue to impeach Yan Song's father and son? β
Lu Bing's face changed slightly: "How do you know?" β
Heavenly Wolf said: "When I saw Yan Shifan yesterday, he proudly said that Yang Jisheng, a member of the military department, had gone against him and had been imprisoned, and just now you said that even Shen Lian Shen had gone through it. was also imprisoned for attacking Yan Dang. This is consistent with Yan Shifan's statement, if he hadn't felt at ease, how could he have left Beijing with such a swagger. β
Lu Bing sighed: "You're half right, Xu Jie and other ministers of the Qing School don't want to tear up their faces with Yan Song this time, and Yang Jisheng's impeachment of Yan Song is completely his personal behavior, and Shen Lian is the same." β
Sky Wolf's brows furrowed: "How do you say this?" β
Lu Bing's expression became stern, and he took out a scroll of documents from his arms. Hand it to the Heavenly Wolf: "You know Shen Lian's situation, he has always hated Yan Song's father and son for misleading the country. Therefore, the Mongols in Guanshi took the opportunity to send spies to the Central Plains, contacted the White Lotus Sect and other anti-thieves to make an article, and pointed directly at the Yan Party group, and before that, one of the more sensational things was that Yang Jisheng was sparse and impeached Yan Song's father and son for ten major crimes.
First, "the law of the bad ancestors", Taizu dismissed the prime minister, and Yan Song, as the first assistant of the cabinet, regarded himself as the prime minister.
Second, "stealing the power of the king", Yan Song took advantage of the emperor's joy and anger to make a blessing, and the civil and military officials thanked Yan Song more than the emperor, and were afraid of Yan Song more than the emperor.
Third, "cover up the emperor's governance", the emperor has good governance, Yan Song must have ordered his son Yan Shifan to tell others that this is Yan Song's mention yì and promoted, and he engraved the book "Jiajing Shu Yi" to be marketed in the world, wanting to make the world know that the emperor's good deeds are attributed to Yan Song.
Fourth, "the traitor's plagiarism", the emperor ordered Yan Song to draft the text JiΓ n to reply, Yan Song took it home and asked his son Yan Shifan to write it on his behalf, Yan Song stole the power of the monarch with his courtiers, and Yan Shifan used his son to steal his father's authority, and the name of Xiaoge Lao is known to everyone in the world.
Fifth, "risking the military merits of the imperial court", Yan Song's grandson Yan Allegiance, Yan Hu's milk smell has not dried, and he has not been involved in the army once, but he pretended to be the credit of Liangguang and awarded the post of pacification and thousands of households in Jinyi. Yan Song not only used the private party to make his children and grandchildren officials, but also promoted the private party through his children and grandchildren.
Sixth, "the traitor who leads the rebellion", Qiu Luan bribed Yan Shifan with 3,000 gold and was recommended as a general; Qiu Luan pretended to destroy the White Lotus Sect, and Yan Shifan was also able to increase his official rank. When they learned that the emperor suspected Qiu Luan's intentions, Yan Song's father and son tried to eliminate the traces of the past, and they were actually built by Wolf Bèi.
Seventh, "the military plane that misled the country", when I replied to the deep and then lazy, this was a great opportunity to attack. Ding Ruyu, the secretary of the military department, once asked Yan Song, and Yan Song warned not to fight. When Ding Rukui of the military department was punished, Yan Song said that Ding Rukui deceived him, and Ding Rukui shouted before leaving: "Yan Song misunderstood me!" β
Eighth, "the great handle of the dethroned Zhizhi", Langzhong Xu Xueshi was dismissed for impeaching Yan Song, and his elder brother Xu Yingfeng, a scholar in the middle school, was also ostracized. The ministers inside and outside the country have been slandered by Yan Song countless times, and as long as they are not attached to the Yan Party, they are in danger of being dismissed from office at any time.
Ninth, "losing the hearts of the people in the world", civil and military officials were relocated and promoted, and Yan Song was granted according to the amount of money they bribed. The general bribed Yan Song and had to exploit the soldiers; The officials bribed Yan Song, and had to beat and scold and gather the people. As a result, the soldiers and the people were displaced, and the corruption and poison of officialdom spread all over the country, making the emperor lose the hearts of the world.
Tenth, "the customs of the world", Yan Song's dictatorship, social customs have changed greatly. Those who bribe are recommended to those who are like thieves, and those who are clumsy are deposed by those who are like Boyi and Shuqi. Law-abiding people are pedantic and spacious, and those who are skillful at reconciliation are talented. Those who are upright are seen as deliberately and excessively contrary to common sense, and those who are good at drilling are seen as experienced and good at doing things. The corruption of customs from ancient times. It doesn't get much better than now. Yan Song is fond of money, everyone in the world advocates greed for money, and Yan Song is fond of flattery. People all over the world advocate flattery. The origin is not clear, how can it be clarified that the obscenity? β
While looking at the manuscript of Yan Song's Ten Sins, the heavenly wolf listened to Lu Bing's explanation, and nodded again and again, although he was not a Wenchen, he was just a rough writer, but he saw that this article was gorgeous. The words and phrases are like spears, and I still can't help but applaud the verses, and I read them twice. He shook his head: "Commander Lu, I didn't find anything taboo in this article, everything in it is true, even if the emperor is partial to Yan Song." It's not going to put Yang Jisheng in prison. He should at least punish a few members of the strict party as a warning. β
Lu Bing sighed, walked over and pointed to a sentence in the fold: "The bad is bad in this sentence." β
The wolf looked at it casually, and saw that it was clearly written: Or summon Yu, King Jing, and make his face Chen Song evil.
When Sky Wolf watched it for the first time just now, he didn't pay much attention to this sentence and pointed it out to Lu Bingyi. With a pause in his heart, he immediately realized that Yang Jisheng had made an unintentional mistake in writing about passion. Emperor Jiajing is an emperor who guards against everyone, including his two sons, because he believes that if two dragons meet, there will be a wound, he has not set up a prince for many years, nor has he met with his own son.
Several of King Yu's masters are Qingliu ministers, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are Xu Jie's protΓ©gΓ©s, this is also a step left by the Qing School, even if it is really impossible to bring down Yan Song in Jiajing, you can also pin your hopes on the next king, Yang Jisheng mentioned that he asked his two sons Yan Song for the crime, then Jiajing will definitely think that this is the two sons who want to seize power, plus Yang Jisheng, who wrote this song, is a student of Xu Jie, and the same year Jinshi and friend of the prince's lecturer Zhang Juzheng, It will also allow him to consolidate his judgment.
The wolf stomped his foot with hatred: "A thousand mistakes are ruined on this sentence." β
Lu Bing shook his head: "The smartest thing about Yan Song's father and son is that everything is issued in the name of the emperor, and he is only in the position of the executor, if any decree is wrong, it is also the emperor's decision-making mistake, so if you want to bring down Yan Song, it is equivalent to letting the emperor admit his mistakes, which is absolutely unfeasible. For there is such a big traitor around him and he has not noticed it for many years, he is blind and blind, so after the emperor saw this twist, Long Yan was furious, and directly summoned me into the palace, asking me to take Yang Jisheng down, torture him, and ask him to tell who instructed him. β
Heavenly Wolf said coldly: "Commander Lu is thinking of using Yang Jisheng and Shen Lian's heads to repair the relationship with Yan Song's father and son this time?" This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. β
Lu Bing's face turned blue and white for a while, and he said angrily: "Heavenly wolf, don't think that I, Lu Bing, am just a villain who tends to be inflammatory, I can clearly distinguish between loyalty and treachery, good and evil, and this time I will definitely not let Yan Song's father and son get their wish." To tell you the truth, on the day Yang Jisheng was imprisoned, Xu Jie and Yan Song both came to me at the same time.
Yan Song himself came to my house in person, and I shushed and greeted me for a long time, and finally mentioned the matter of Yang Jisheng and Shen Lian, he finally hinted that Shen Lian is our Jinyiwei's person, he gave me a face, meaning, play a few boards, and charge an army, but Yang Jisheng is a pawn of the Qing school to attack him, this must not be tolerated, he must be tortured to extract confessions, and if necessary, he fabricated testimony to wipe out Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng. β
Sky Wolf nodded: "The old thief is indeed ruthless, and Commander Lu must be in a dilemma." β
Lu Bing smiled slightly: "I promised at the time, and personally sent Yan Song to the door." As soon as he left on the front foot, Xu Jie came on the back foot, but he hoped that I could make this matter as big as possible, and if it was trivial, it was best to raise my noble hand and not make it a big case. At that time, all I could say was that the matter had reached heaven, and there was nothing I could do. Xu Jie was disappointed, but instead put forward the second point, that is, he hoped to protect Yang Jisheng more. Hmph, in fact, what he really wants to protect is himself. β
Sky Wolf's brows softened: "Listening to Lord Lu's meaning, are you ready to let Yang Jisheng go?" β
Lu Bing sighed: "I really can't do anything about this matter, the only thing I can do is to prevent Yan Song's conspiracy from succeeding, and come up with some kind of torture to force a confession." Shen Lian has been beaten with sixty canes of court staff, and he has been confiscated into the army, which can be regarded as temporarily ensuring his safety, but Yang Jisheng has been locked up in the edict prison, and the emperor is chasing him closely, and he must find out the mastermind behind him, I have no choice but to order him to be tortured, but I will not induce him to confess during the interrogation and let him bite indiscriminately. β
Sky Wolf has been to the Imperial Prison, there is a hell on earth, with all kinds of cruel and inhumane punishments, basically when he gets there, no matter how strong the tough guy is, there is no one who does not speak, it is just a matter of time, his heart sank: "Yang Jisheng is a civil official, how can he stand the methods in the Imperial Prison, as long as he stays in the Imperial Prison for a day, he will be tortured for a day, Commander Lu, do you really want to die and not save him?" (To be continued......)
