Yang Tinghe was surprisingly calm, but he was not as angry as he imagined, he looked around at the ministers with a smile on his face, and finally said to the high Zhengde: "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty." ”

Zhengde was stunned and said, "Could it be that what Lu Wan said is true?" Do you really mean to be the mastermind who ordered him to send troops and horses in order to make the recapture of the Loop come to naught? ”

Yang Tinghe sighed: "The emperor is a clear guide, how can such a thing be done by a minister, the minister and the two dynasties are ministers, for so many years, I dare not call it meritorious, but I also know the overall situation of the country and what is important." If the old minister was confused, he would have been ashamed to resign and dare not occupy the position of cabinet. ”

Zhengde said: "I think so too, so how do you explain this matter?" Now that Lu Wan is pointing out to you in person, don't you have anything to defend? ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid; If everyone thinks that the minister is the kind of person who secretly obstructs regardless of the overall situation, the minister is struggling to speak and is also regarded as a quibble. To be honest, Lord Lu's actions did know in advance, but the minister thought it was just Lord Lu's words, but he didn't expect it...... Ay...... I didn't expect him to do it, and he didn't report it to the cabinet. Hearing this news today, Lao Chen was also extremely shocked. ”

Lu Wan went crazy with anger and shouted: "Okay, you Yang Tinghe, but you are clean with a pole, this matter is a consensus reached by you and me on the steps outside the Fengtian Palace, can you quibble now?" ”

Yang Tinghe sighed and looked at Lu Wan's flushed face and said lightly: "Lord Lu, can anyone prove your words?" ”

Lu Wan said angrily: "How can there be any witnesses for such a thing, only you and I are present." ”

Yang Tinghe said quietly: "You don't have it, but I do." On that day, I thought that you were just verbally angry, you were reprimanded by Zhenguo Gong in the palace for improper command, leading the northwest war situation to be chaotic, and you were full of resentment against Zhenguo Gong in your heart, so you said those words, I can also understand your feelings, so I didn't take it seriously. I only ask you, did I say anything of approval when you said these things? ”

Lu Wan was stunned, and said to Ai Ai: "You said that day, 'You are the head of the military department, and you came to me to ask me about these things, just do your own thing.'" ’。 ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Lord Lu has a very good memory, let the emperor and all the adults listen, did I instigate you to do this, I let you do your part, instead of asking you to ignore the interests of the court to pull the back of the prince of Zhenguo." ”

Lu Wan shouted: "You are not in this tone, you meant to acquiesce to me when you said this." ”

Yang Tinghe shook his head and said: "Lord Lu misunderstood Tinghe's meaning, what I said meant was that I didn't agree, such a big thing, if I agree with you to do it, I will naturally make a clear statement, I just saw that you were excited about your feelings that day, so I vaguely said words and took care of your feelings." But how could I agree to encourage you to do so? ”

Lu Wanqi's body trembled, and he pointed at Yang Tinghe and said, "Okay...... What a Yang scholar, this is playing me like a monkey. ”

Yang Tinghe Zhengse said: "Lord Lu, the facts are the facts, if you insist on understanding that I acquiesce to you doing this, I can provide some evidence to prove your innocence." ”

Lu Wan sneered: "I want to take a look at your Lord Yang's methods." ”

Yang Tinghe said lightly: "After listening to your words that day, I returned to the cabinet office, my heart was very uneasy, Tinghe has the habit of writing notes, so I wrote down the conversation with you that day in the notes, if you are interested, I can read what I wrote that day in public." ”

Zhengde said: "Accurate." ”

An attendant hurriedly walked out of the hall to get Yang Tinghe's notes from the cabinet office, and the hall fell silent for a while, and the atmosphere was suffocating. Lu Wan snorted and looked at Yang Tinghe with a fierce light, Yang Tinghe looked at the golden dragon on the pillar with his negative hand, the officials looked at these two nervously, Zhengde on the dragon seat leaned on the armrest and coughed from time to time, everyone had their own thoughts, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Song Nan, the prince of Daming Town, looked at everyone's expressions with a smile on his face, he was very satisfied, after he threw this matter, Lu Wan and Yang Tinghe finally bit each other, this scene is difficult to see. Originally, Song Nan's intention today was to bring down Lu Wan, and he used to exercise restraint among the officials of the foreign court, and tried not to intensify the contradictions, but Song Nan hated Lu Wan's actions that day, and he couldn't tolerate Lu Wan still being at ease in the position of the secretary of the military department. Lu Wan fainted and went to bite Yang Tinghe, which Song Nan did not expect, but he liked to see it.

If Yang Tinghe was bitten by Lu Wanpan today and couldn't get out, it would be a surprise, but Song Nan knew in his heart that if he was brought down so lightly, then Yang Tinghe would not be able to lead the outer court to become a leader, from the moment Yang Tinghe said the so-called notes, Song Nan understood that the scheming Yang Tinghe might have been prepared for today's events. In this way, this man is much more terrible than he imagined.

The awkward silence lasted not too long, and soon the chamberlain took Yang Tinghe's notes, and the literati of this era had the habit of taking notes and writing essays, and Yang Tinghe's essay records also had a nice and elegant name called "Shi Zhai Ji", with a blue cover and a dignified italic title, which looked very academic.

Yang Tinghe's notebook in the hands of the inner servant turned to a certain page and said: "Yes, on September 11 of the seventh year of Ming Zhengde, it was on this day that the court discussed and resumed the battle, and after the court meeting, you and I had that conversation on the steps in front of this hall, right?" ”

Lu Wan gritted his teeth and said, "Not bad." ”

Yang Tinghe nodded and said: "That's it, please take a look at it, this is the text written by the ministers of the day, which involves this conversation." ”

Zhengde waved his hand and ordered someone to take the notebook, signaling Zhang Yong to read it out in public, Zhang Yong spread out the notebook and held it in his hand, and his thin voice resounded through the audience: "...... Today's court discussed the resumption of the Northern Expedition, and the Zhenguo Gong insisted on the Northern Expedition, thinking that the timing was feasible, but the treasury was short of money and food, and could not supply the soldiers and horses, and privately planned to ease it for a period of time. The town was not allowed by the government and intended to raise its own money and food to go on the expedition, which set an unprecedented precedent, and I do not know whether it was appropriate. As an important minister of the imperial court, I can't improve the state of the empty treasury, and I am very ashamed of ......the rest."

Song Nan heard Yang Tinghe's true views on the Northern Expedition for the first time this time, if the state of mind recorded in this note is true, it shows that Yang Tinghe did not know that the day was the best time for the Northern Expedition to recover the Hetao, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, what he meant was actually to ease down for a period of time to raise money and food, not blindly opposed.

However, Song Nan expressed great doubts about the authenticity of this notebook, Lu Wan bit him, he immediately threw out this diary to show his innocence, it seemed to be nothing, but Song Nan smelled a smell of deliberate arrangement. Maybe it's because I've seen and played with too many conspiracies, is this an unfounded worry? The belly of a villain?

It was not only this matter that worried Yu, but also the fact that Lu Quanqing privately said that he was obstructing the northward advance, and he actually had the idea of transferring the guards and horses in the northwest, which was very inappropriate. Stealing the overall situation first, personal grievances second, if the overall situation is disturbed by personal grievances, it is a troubled move. I thought that Quan Qing was a stable and moderate person, if he really did it, then this person is not suitable to take on the big responsibility, I hope Quan Qing can understand this, do not go out of line, otherwise Yu will also put personal relations out of the way, and strive to impeach. Hey, worries about state affairs, worries about personnel, taking care of yourself in the mirror, sideburns like frost, what can you do about it? The only way to do it is to live up to the emperor's grace and the dawn of the people......"

Zhang Yong's shrill voice fell, and the palace was silent, the meaning expressed in this record was obvious, Yang Tinghe was deeply worried about what Lu Wan said, and even said that if Lu Wan dared to do this, he would be the first to impeach Lu Wan, put his personal feelings aside, and take national affairs as the priority.

Lu Wan wanted to cry without tears, he didn't expect Yang Tinghe to have such a backhand, and it was only at this time that he understood how deep the indifference on Yang Tinghe's surface was hidden; On that day, it was clear that Yang Tinghe had instigated himself to do this, and the so-called mood record that suddenly appeared was a completely different statement, which can be described as a cunning rabbit.

Lu Wan also understood, it turned out that he had long been a chess piece that could be discarded in Yang Tinghe's mind, after Liu Jin's death, the only remaining head of the outer court was Lu Wan, the secretary of the military department, and the heads and brains of the rest of the ministries, cabinets and sections were replaced one after another, and in private, Lu Wan thought that this was his own ability, and at this moment, he knew that he was not in Yang Tinghe's small group from beginning to end. The various gestures made by Yang Tinghe before were just using his stupidity to become a tool to use.

"Bang bang bang." A crisp sound sounded in the temple. The civil and military officials were surprised to find that the sound was Lu Wan's own slap on his face. Lu Wan is not remorseful because he is about to be removed from his post and imprisoned, he hates that he is stupid and has become a tool of others, but he still thinks that he has always had a backer, acted recklessly, and became a pawn driven by others.

Song Nan looked at Lu Wan with some pity, mourning in silence for this important minister of the Ming Dynasty who was about to come to an end, and then looked at Yang Tinghe and the indifferent faces of Qing Jun Wubo, Song Nan couldn't help but sigh: "Yang Tinghe, Yang Tinghe, I have to admit that you have a set, but if you do this, your outer court is afraid that it will no longer be monolithic." The decline has been achieved, what should you do to save it? ”
