The light rain of early summer was pouring down, and it was muddy outside.

People in the capital don't like rain, especially in the outer city, where the population is mixed, the small streets are narrow and dirty, and the smell of rancid smell everywhere when it rains.

The inner city is much better, though.

The imperial city is even more, the tower of the carved dragon painting is faintly hidden behind the drizzle, and there are the green mountains and green waters that cannot be seen clearly, which is beautiful like a colorful landscape of smoke and rain.

On the third floor of the cabinet, Yang Ning was drinking tea by the window, and when he heard the door, he closed the window.

When he finished closing, Li Yangdong and Yang Tinghe also came in.

"You two came early." He laughed.

Li Yangdong and Yang Tinghe said together: "Shoufu is early." ”

Yang Ning said: "Let's sit down first, I called you here to talk about Zhao Jin's imprisonment, have you heard about it?" Did the people catch it? ”

Li Yangdong said: "If you catch it, where can you run in the palace?" The chamberlain searched around, and found it in the stables of the Imperial Horse Guard, and it had been sent to the Jinyi Guard. ”

It seems that other people's news is better than their own.

Yang Ning was a little dissatisfied in his heart, after all, he was the first assistant, but the people below seemed to like to report to Li Yangdong when they did things, and that Yang Tinghe, relying on the fact that he was the emperor's teacher, could now share half of his prestige, he was really angry.

Fortunately, if he doesn't make a decision, they still can't settle it, because he is the first assistant.

He said, "Just know it, and when the two of them arrive, let's talk together." ”

After a while, the other two auxiliary ministers of the cabinet also arrived, and after they all sat down, Yang Ning said: "Zhao Jin has done a lot of evil, but the emperor handed him over to Jinyiwei to deal with, so to what extent do you want to deal with him, and what do you think?" ”

Li Yangdong said: "Zhao Jin persecuted Zhongliang, because of the Eight Tigers incident that year, his hands were stained with the blood of civil officials, a few days ago a civilian official was out of town to do business, only three days away, he came back to be filial, people did not, he persecuted more than once, but also asked people's daughters to enter the palace to serve in the palace, the minister hanged himself at home, and now his bones are not cold, so how to deal with him?"

His crimes are too numerous to mention, and he should be punished according to the law. ”

Yang Ning said: "Xiyue didn't understand what the old man meant, it was Jinyi Wei who was imprisoned, not the Criminal Department." ”

Although the responsibilities of different yamen are similar, the results can be different depending on which yamen they fall into.

The boss of the Criminal Department at that time was Cui Jingye, who was killed because of the Eight Tigers incident.

Zhishi was severely attacked by Zhao Jin later, which is also a shame for civil officials, so if Zhao Jin is in the prison department, can he have him?

Jinyiwei is different, Zhao Jin commanded Jinyiwei when he was the celebrant supervisor, and Beizhen Fusi is his person.

Therefore, the emperor asked Jinyi Wei to imprison Zhao Jin, it is conceivable that this is a deliberate protection of the old feelings.

Li Yangdong said: "I don't understand what the adults mean, can the adults say it bluntly?" ”

Who wouldn't understand what it means to be mixed in officialdom? “

Yang Ning looked at Yang Tinghe: "Does Lord Yang understand?" ”

Yang Tinghe shook his head: "I don't understand the humble position." ”

Yang Ning's eyes narrowed slightly: "Great Xia." ”

Liu Daxia was more straightforward, and said: "My lord, I understand what you mean, but Zhao Jin's guilt is guilty, and it doesn't matter what yamen he is imprisoned in." ”

So what he meant was that there was no need to figure out what the emperor meant.

Yang Ning couldn't help but sneer: "If the emperor wants to protect this person, can we move?" ”

Li Yangdong said: "Then from which aspect did Lord Yuanfu see that the emperor wants to protect Zhao Jin?" ”

Yang Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you still need to say this?" ”

Li Yangdong said: "Of course, because of the humble position, I didn't see it, the humble position only saw that the emperor was wise and martial, and strictly dealt with Zhao Jin, the servant who was corrupt and perverted the law and did a lot of evil, as for how to judge the result, we eat the king's Lu and loyal to the king, do we still want the emperor to personally inspect and make an order?"

Of course, those of us who are officials, if there is evidence, we will provide evidence.

Lord Yang is so cringe, taking care of this and that, blindly speculating about the holy will, without his own thoughts, what is the difference between you and Zhao Jin and the like, we didn't take Zhao Jin into prison because he was an internal servant, right?

Furthermore, is the divine will something we can guess?

If he speculates that the holy will can govern the country, what else do we need to do as civil and military ministers, the emperor is only the emperor in the court.

Therefore, I humbly advise Lord Motofu to have your own ideas. ”

What he meant was that he wanted to severely punish Zhao Jin, so that Zhao Jin couldn't turn over.

But he had never said such mean things before.

After listening to the last sentence, Yang Ning couldn't sit still.

Looking at Li Yangdong's resolute square face again, it looks like the sharpest weapon, and any sleekness in this world has nothing to hide in front of him.

But obviously he and Zhao Jin have always been in contact.

said that he was the only one who was a villain, and what was there to be proud of in fifty steps and a hundred steps.

Yang Ning stood up and said, "The old man is a little unwell, you can discuss it slowly if you have an idea." ”

*****

Shousuke left in a rage, and the rest of the people dispersed.

Li Yangdong and Yang Tinghe have a good relationship, and the two go out together.

When the other two people were far away, Yang Tinghe patted Li Yangdong on the shoulder and said, "It's hard for you at that time." ”

Because Li Yangdong didn't follow when Liu Jianzhi was in office, he also had a relationship with Zhao Jin, and many civil officials thought he was a shameless villain.

But Yang Tinghe knew that his student did not learn and did not know how to do it, and Li Yangdong could only protect himself and others by making compromises, and now that he was finally imprisoned, it was much easier than they imagined.

Li Yangdong patted Yang Tinghe's shoulder with his hand, the amplitude of the big hand was a kind of thank you pat, although he was often misunderstood, but there were still people who understood him, and it was worth it.

Then Li Yangdong said: "What we have to do next is not to let Zhao Jin have a chance to breathe, let the six departments and the thirteen imperial envoys jointly play a song, and expose Zhao Jin's evil deeds, we must let him die, otherwise if we come out again, we will not end well." ”

Yang Tinghe said: "I can understand your feelings, but what Lord Yang said is not unreasonable, the emperor imprisoned Zhao Jin in Jinyiwei, this is what he does not want Zhao Jin to die, the holy will is unbearable, you and I still have to prepare for the worst." ”

Li Yangdong shook his head with a smile: "According to my guess, Zhao Jin has no future, and adults can be themselves recklessly and boldly." ”

Such a decent person, he will not be untargeted.

Yang Tinghe: "Huh? "Why are you so confident?" ”

Li Yangdong looked in the direction of the inner palace and said: "If you know that Zhao Jin was imprisoned this time because of the queen, you won't be afraid, someone once told me that the queen can help everyone eradicate traitors." ”

Therefore, Zhao Jin can be impeached recklessly and boldly, although it is separated by the palace wall, but he knows that the queen is on the other side of the wall and is expecting him to do so.

Just like he is looking forward to the queen now, he hopes that the queen will not let go in front of the emperor, and must put Zhao Jin to death.
