"Zhen Guogong, there must be a basis for what you say, what you said is that someone in my court privately intercepted the impeachment of Zhu Chenhao, this is a great crime against the sky, and you must not catch the wind and catch the shadow." Yang Tinghe's voice trembled a little.

Song Nan sneered: "I naturally know that this matter is serious, and I will never point fingers casually, this qiē is evidence, it is very simple, and I will know that the governor of Jiangxi, Sun Suixuan, came to the capital and asked, how can he not know about his own twists and turns?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar in the court, Yang Tinghe's face was strange, and there was a smile in his eyes. Song Nan felt a little strange, and when he was puzzled, he heard Lu Wan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, sneer: "It turns out that the so-called evidence of Zhenguo Gong fell on the head of a dead person, how can I say it so conclusively." ”

Song Nan was stunned and said, "How can you say this?" ”

"Zhenguo Gong shouldn't know that Jiangxi Governor Sun Sui has been killed by Zhu Chenhao to sacrifice the flag, Zhenguo Gong, you use a dead person as evidence to accuse others, this is not authentic."

Song Nan was stunned and said, "Sun Sui is dead? I don't really know that. ”

Lu Wan said: "It doesn't matter if you really don't know, or if you don't know, in short, this matter is groundless, you are talking like this, isn't this pouring dirty water on a few scholars in the cabinet?" ”

Zhang Lun said coldly: "Lord Lu, Zhen Guogong escorted the prisoners back to Beijing by sea, and along the way, he didn't know that King Ning had rebelled, how did he know that Sun Sui was killed by Zhu Chenhao?" You have to be careful what you say. ”

Lu Wan smiled: "I see, just assume that Lord Song doesn't know." ”

Song Nan frowned and thought for a while: "Even if Sun Sui is dead, someone still knows about this matter, I just listened to what Wang Shouren, the governor of southern Gansu, said, and he also promised to be willing to testify on this matter, Wang Shouren should also die; Also, although Sun Sui died, there must be people among the officials in Jiangxi who knew the inside story of this matter, and it was not difficult to prove it. ”

When it comes to Wang Shouren, everyone in the group knows about it, and it is expected that Song Nan will never be able to open his mouth, if Wang Shouren is willing to come out to prove it, I am afraid that this matter will be eight times out of ten. Nine is indeed a thing.

Yang Tinghe frowned and thought suspiciously, his eyes slowly swept over the several scholars standing behind him, when he met Liang Chu's gaze, Liang Chu obviously flinched, Yang Tinghe suddenly remembered that Liang Chu was the person in charge of sorting the folds in the cabinet, if there were folds to be suppressed, it would have something to do with him.

"Yang Tinghe, I want to know, what the hell is going on, you tell me about it."

Zhengde thinks that Song Nan will not lie about such a big matter, this kind of lie is simply untenable, and Song Nan will not be stupid enough to make up such a lie in court, I am afraid that it is true.

Yang Tinghe bowed his hand, turned around and said slowly: "Scholar Liang, it is your duty to report the folds, can you tell Sù himself what is going on?" ”

Liang Chuyan was willing to admit it, and hurriedly said: "Yang Gong, there is no such thing, I have never seen such a twist and turn, you ask me, but I am speechless." ”

Yang Tinghe frowned, to be honest, he didn't think that this matter was groundless, but if this matter was exposed in court, it was obvious that he would not be able to get out of it, and the best way was to put it aside for the time being, and use the investigation as an excuse to prevaricate the past, and he was thinking about it afterwards.

I heard Song Nan say in a loud voice: "Of course no one will admit it, who will admit to the crime of detaining and folding without permission?" What's more, it was a twist and turn to conceal the fact of the rebellion for the rebel king Zhu Chenhao, I think this matter is afraid that it will fall on the cabinet, since everyone said that they would not do it, then prove their innocence. Of course, if you want my Jinyi Wei Yamen to intervene in the investigation, that's okay. ”

Yang Tinghe hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, I will give an explanation to the court about this matter, and I will definitely find out." ”

Song Nan clapped his hands and said: "That's the best, now Yang Shoufu should know why I'm not at ease with you, why I said that some officials in the outer court are the source of trouble." He shouted about the legal system, but he did something rebellious, and people said that they were strict with themselves and lenient with others, but when it came to these people, they became strict with others and lenient with themselves. ”

Yang Tinghe didn't want to be entangled in this matter, and silence was the best answer, not only would he not say the wrong thing and leave a handle, but also let Song Nan have no reason to continue to entangle.

But other people don't think so, even if even the first assistant of the cabinet doesn't speak, some people who don't know how to raise still have to come to show Xiàn, this person is Lu Wan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, for some reason, he seems to have beaten a lot of blood, and he is not afraid of Song Nan.

"Zhen Guogong, you are overturning a boatload of people with a rod, and the cabinet is busy with affairs, even if there are twists and turns and you don't report them in time, it's normal. It is not uncommon for mistakes to go wrong in the busyness, and several directors of the yamen of our military department have also omitted to report the local mistakes, and it was only a mistake in the hurry to find out afterwards. It would be unfair to blame the cabinet for Zhu Chenhao's rebellion. Zhu Chenhao wanted to rebel, but it was not someone else who instigated him, but his own rebellion. ”

Song Nan turned around and stared straight at Lu Wan, Lu Wan's heart was furious, but he stiffened his neck and said, "What?" Am I not right? ”

Song Nan sneered and shouted, "There is some truth, but what qualifications do you have to be verbose here?" I haven't settled your account with you yet. ”

The officials were taken aback, Zhenguo Gong saw who bit whom today, although Lu Wan was talkative, but it was inappropriate to ask him to settle accounts, Lu Wan was a dignified military secretary, and he was also a second-grade member in terms of grade, and he was also an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, so he could scold him like a child.

Song Nan ignored these and walked towards Lu Wan step by step, Lu Wan was so frightened that he stepped back step by step, and said, "How are you going?" What kind of account do you settle with this official? ”

Song Nan shouted: "Have you forgotten how you pulled my hind legs?" I received the order to recover the Loop, what did you do behind the scenes? You ordered the soldiers and horses of the Northwest Guard to return to the garrison to guard the town, so that I have no available soldiers at hand, what do you have in mind? I didn't come to trouble you, but you jumped out and chattered, and today I will ask you, who told you to give this order? Was it the Emperor's decree or was someone telling you to do it? ”

Only Yang Tinghe and Lu Wan understood this matter, but the others didn't know anything, hearing Song Nan say this, the officials had a cold war again, and Lu Wan pulled Song Nan back to retreat, and actually gave such an order, which is really incredible. This is completely unreasonable, although Song Nan's Northern Expedition to recover the Hetao was not supported by the outer court, the two sides reached a consensus in the imperial court, and the imperial court allowed Song Nan to use troops, but did not pay for military expenses; Song Nan's self-raising army salary and sending troops has been regarded as a victory for the outer court, and Lu Wan issued such an order behind his back, which is almost equivalent to Song Nan's defeat, which is completely disregarding the interests of the imperial court, you need to know that if Song Nan is defeated, the Tartars will make a comeback, and the northwest will fall into misery, who will bear this responsibility?

"Wow, there is actually a horse leg behind it, this is the first time I have heard of such a thing today, is this what my Ming Dynasty's military department Shangshu did? It's like a Tartar spy, so disregarded, this matter must not be stopped, Lu Wan, you explain it to me clearly. Zhang Lun scolded sharply.

Zhengde coughed loudly, he never expected that the relationship between Song Nan and the outer court had reached such a point, he originally thought that the two sides still had restraint, but now it seems that it has reached the point of ignoring it, and the anger in his heart can be imagined.

Zhang Yong hurriedly stepped forward to beat Zhengde's back, and was pushed away by Zhengde, Zhengde's face was flushed and shouted: "Lu Wan, can there be such a thing?" ”

Lu Wan was so frightened that he knelt down and said: "This is true, but the minister ordered the soldiers and horses of the Northwest Guard Station to return to their hometowns because of the emptiness of the border towns after the Tartars crossed the border, and the minister also thought about the safety of the border towns." ”

Without being reminded by others, Zhengde himself knew that his reason was untenable, and said angrily: "The Tartars were chased all the way to the north of Yanchi, and there was no Tartar from Jiayuguan Suzhou to the east, and the main force of the Tartars was also annihilated. Song Nan led the army to fight, but you privately ordered the transfer of troops and horses, do you want Song Nan to lose the battle? Do you want me to lose the battle? Rebel minister, rebel minister, his heart can be punished. ”

Lu Wan was so frightened that he was about to pee, Song Nan didn't mention it after returning to Beijing, he thought that this matter was over, and Song Nan would say it because he didn't want to make a big deal with the outer court; Even if he said it, with Yang Tinghe behind him, he didn't have a trick for himself. But the current situation is that Yang Ting is the same as not looking at himself, obviously wanting to clear up this matter, and none of the other officials dares to say a word, but as if he came up with an idea alone, he realized that the problem was serious.

"The emperor is angry, the minister is not thoughtful, but there is no intention of deliberately dragging the back leg of the northern expedition of the prince of Zhenguo, the minister is loyal to the court and the emperor, this heart can show the sun and ......the moon."

"Someone...... stripped of official uniforms and taken into custody, handed over to the three legal divisions for interrogation. Zhengde coughed violently, waving his hands as if to chase away a fly.

Lu Wan exclaimed: "Wronged, wronged, Yang Gong, Fei Gong, Lord Lu, adults, you have something to say." ”

The officials looked at Yang Tinghe, and if Yang Tinghe pleaded, they would also follow together, but Yang Tinghe didn't act at all, looking elsewhere, it was none of his business.

Lu Wan's heart was cold, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, okay, Lord Yang, if you are unkind, you will blame me for being unjust, this matter is your approval, and now you want to clear it up, I just let you forget it." ”

The ministers were in an uproar, and Zhengde Muran sat on the throne, forgetting even to cough. A smile appeared on the corner of Song Nan's mouth, and the scene he was looking forward to had finally arrived.
