Chapter 300: Confession
Where there are people, there is strife.
This is inevitable, and Lu Zheng understands it.
But understanding doesn't mean liking.
He was deeply disgusted with these partisan disputes in the court, but he had to fight with them.
If he doesn't fight, the Lu family's century-old foundation will eventually be buried in his hands, and those he cherishes will also be hurt because of this.
Therefore, despite the disgust, Lu Zheng did not dare to relax himself and not fight.
This is the way of the world, where you are at the center of political interests, you don't fight, and others push you, force you, and have to fight.
After suffering losses when he was young, Lu Zheng gradually turned passive into active and learned to fight.
Fortunately, the prince can be called virtuous, and helping His Royal Highness the prince is not uncomfortable for Lu Zheng.
Moreover, he can be regarded as helping himself and the entire Lu family, so he really has nothing to complain about.
Wang Yan got Lu Zheng's acceptance and explained very happily, but to Lu Zheng's disappointment, he still didn't explain the point.
Lu Zheng knew that everything Wang Yan knew had been almost explained.
Wang Depu is an old man, and he will never push his family to do such a thing, so he must borrow the hands of others to act.
This is all expected, although disappointed, but really can't be helped.
The Wang family is very deep-based, and it can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has struggled with it over the years.
Lu Zheng asked someone to write down the things that Wang Yan had confessed, asked Wang Yan to sign and postpone the drawing, and asked someone to press him down and take strict care of him.
After interrogating Wang Yan, Lu Zheng ordered someone to bring Yang Ye in.
Yang Ye is a literati, and Lu Zheng is actually quite polite to the literati, so he did not ask anyone to escort Yang Ye to kneel.
Literati have a lot of integrity, if Yang Ye insists on this, Lu Zheng doesn't care if he has to break his integrity.
What surprised him was that although Yang Ye was a literati, he had no literati backbone, and his knees were very soft, and before Lu Zheng could ask him, he knelt down and begged for mercy.
Lu Zheng looked at the kneeling man below, the person who was crying with tears and snot all over his face, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle tightly.
Originally, he thought that as long as Yang Ye confessed honestly, he would not be too embarrassed, but when he saw this person again at this time, he couldn't stop feeling disgusted in his heart.
He hated soft bones the most in his life.
If Yang Ye is tougher, he still respects him for his own integrity.
But Yang Ye is like this, it's really admirable......
"Yang Ye, you are guilty!" When he spoke again, Lu Zheng's tone was not very gentle, with a sense of anger.
Yang Ye was originally frightened enough by the tragic situation of Wang Yan who he had just met outside, and at this moment he heard Lu Zheng shouting and asking, how could he still have the heart to show any literati style, so he hurriedly took the real move.
He thinks that those who know the times are handsome.
He was knocked unconscious by Lu Wen just now, obviously it was not done suddenly, let alone Lu Wen's hand slipping, he knew at a glance that he had received an order in advance and did so.
In this army, there are not many people who can order Lu Wen to move, plus Wang Yan and they are all ambushed, so Yang Ye concluded that Lu Zheng must already know everything.
Now that you know it, you still ask him to interrogate, you must want to see his attitude.
If you don't surrender at this time, when will you wait!
I can't save my life, so what do you care!
He used to pay attention to morality, but what is the actual matter?
He held his poor bones, depressed, and could not get out.
There are no cold people in the upper grade, and there are no scholars in the lower grades, this is a popular sentence among their poor children, Yang Ye didn't understand it before, but later he entered the officialdom and stumbled, so he understood the meaning of this sentence.
Aren't these the people who are talking about?
They studied hard in the cold window, and once they jumped into the dragon gate, thinking that what was waiting for them from now on was a bright future, glory and wealth, but when they stepped in, they knew how dark this officialdom was.
If you want to keep your integrity, then you should be prepared to be poor for life and not be able to get out.
But Yang Ye didn't want to do this.
He studied hard for many years, and finally defeated the "thousands of troops" and stood out from the imperial examination, how could he still be willing to go back to the old days?
He wants to succeed, he wants to climb up, he wants to stand at the top of power, he is proud of others.
However, these have now become utopian dreams, and I am afraid that there will never be a chance to realize them again......
Yang Ye raised his head and looked at Lu Zheng through hazy teary eyes.
He suddenly regretted it a little at the moment, if he couldn't resist the temptation and didn't agree to the adult to help kill Lu Zheng, wouldn't it be different what was waiting for him at the moment?
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and there are some things that you can't turn back.
Yang Ye now only hopes that he can leave a life.
But is it possible?
When the two countries are at war, leaking military information, can he still live?
Lu Zheng also ordered someone to record what Yang Ye confessed, and then asked him to sign and draw the charge.
Yang Ye looked at the bright red fingerprints on the paper, and his eyes were full of decadence.
He couldn't figure it out, how could he fail?
He asked himself if he was careful enough to arouse Lu Zheng's suspicion at all, so how did Lu Zheng find out about this?
Could it be because he reminded Lu Zheng to march in a hurry that day, which aroused Lu Zheng's suspicions?
Yes, it was only that time, I couldn't hold back, I was impulsive.
No wonder Lu Zheng had been prepared, it turned out that he had doubted him for a long time.
It's hateful, it's hateful, he's not as good as others, what else can he say?
Yang Ye was dragged down, and the generals discussed the military situation in the marshal tent for a while, and they all retreated.
Lu Zheng carefully packed the two testimonies, sealed them with wax, and then called outside.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two men in black power suits and half of the masks floating into the tent.
"Shizi." The two men clasped their fists and saluted.
"No need to be polite," Lu Zheng waved his hand at them, and then handed them the letter in his hand, and advised, "Be sure to hand over the letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible, Lu Wen has already released a dead man back according to the plan, you must rush before him to deliver the evidence to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Please rest assured, we will definitely live up to our mission." The Dark Guard replied.
Lu Zheng snorted, nodded, and said, "Hurry up." ”
Hearing this, the two secret guards saluted Lu Zheng with a fist, and then floated out of the tent.
After they left, Lu Zheng called Zhou Ying again and instructed: "You also take a team of people and horses, and leave immediately to escort Wang Yan, Yang Ye and others back to Beijing, and wait for the emperor's holy ruling." ”
"Yes, General." Zhou Ying bowed his head and obeyed the order.
Everyone left, and only Lu Zheng, Lu Wen and Xiao Yong were left in the tent.
Lu Zheng didn't have much of the heart to talk to them, and after telling the two of them to keep the matter secret, he waved his hand and let the two of them out.
When Lu Wen and Xiao Yong heard this, they said yes in unison, and then withdrew from the handsome tent.
