Chapter 748: The Second Battlefield
Sun Jiao is a smart person in the end, and it can be seen at a glance that Yang Shen is being targeted.
Are you Yang Yongxiu the initiator, but you deliberately did not sign it?
Then this time, I will make a big fuss about this group of people offending the emperor and put people in prison, but you, Yang Yongxiu, have picked yourself out first, and see how you will stand in the Hanlin Academy in the future.
After Yang Shen learned that his colleagues had been taken down, he felt that something was wrong, and he went to the courtyard of Goldfish Hutong on East Chang'an Avenue to wait for his father for more than two hours, and finally saw Yang Ting and himself when the sun was setting in the west.
「…… Father, it's all the son's fault, if the son didn't have a joint name, maybe there wouldn't be today's trouble." Yang Shen confessed his mistake to his father.
Yang Tinghe's attitude was still calm, and he was slightly surprised: "Yongxiu, how can you say such things?"
Yang Shen almost gritted his teeth and said, "My son's original idea was not to cause a gap between my father and His Majesty at such a time, and also to prevent people with intentions from making a fuss about it as a son. But I didn't think about it...... Your Majesty's move is clearly aimed at your son."
Yang Tinghe nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you can think of this layer, could it be that if you co-sign it, you can avoid today's incident?" Your Majesty's goal is not yours, but your father."
Yang Shen admitted his mistake and felt that he was involved with those colleagues of the Hanlin Academy.
But in fact, Yang Shen knew very well that the root of everything was the contradiction between the emperor and his father.
The emperor killed chickens and monkeys, didn't he just do it for Yang Tinghe to see?
"After this incident, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to be in the Han Garden." Yang Shen blamed himself.
In fact, Yang Shen also saw it.
Regardless of the emperor's true intentions, or whether his colleagues can understand his painstaking efforts, others are in prison anyway, and he is fine outside. Then he acts as the initiator. has fallen into a great moral passivity, who will listen to him in the future?
Even if you have a good mind, you can see that Yang Shen is actually the target of the emperor's deliberate targeting, but the problem is that if you Yang Shen signed, maybe the emperor would not take advantage of the topic, but you didn't sign it, and we were imprisoned because the emperor targeted you......
Therefore, no matter the positive and negative aspects, because of Yang Shen's solitude, he was alienated by his colleagues.
Yang Tinghe said: "Don't think too much about this matter, give you a note for your father, you go to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen to say hello, and ask him not to torture the people who are imprisoned today, and visit him by the way, and do a good job of appeasing."
Now Yang Tinghe is also afraid that everyone will betray his relatives and leave.
The emperor's resolute move was actually a disguised warning to those civil officials in the court.
Don't look at my usual opinions on Yang Tinghe, I also respect him very much, and even wanted to do something but was scared back by Yang Tinghe, but after all, I am a monarch and he is a minister, and I am now using Jinyiwei to teach anyone a lesson is just a matter of one sentence, you should not collude with Yang Tinghe, otherwise the next one to be taken down and punished is the one among you who does not know each other!
Yang Shen hesitated, "Father, at such a time, if you personally inquire about this matter, will you ......?"
Yang Shen felt that his father was too risky.
The emperor killed the chicken to make an example of you, and you still drilled forward with your neck?
Although you are the first assistant of the court, what qualifications do you have to inquire about the Jinyi Guard's edict?
Aren't you telling the truth about that?
Yang Tinghe's tone was slightly desolate: "It has happened, even if you want to escape, you can't avoid it, it doesn't matter if you are a father's reputation, you still have to take care of those young heroes of the Hanlin Academy first, they are the hope of the future of the Ming Dynasty."
When Yang Shen heard this, he was deeply impressed by his father's noble sentiments.
At this time, my father knew that he would be disgusted by the emperor if he intervened about Jinyiwei, but in order to protect those literati who were in prison, my father still came forward without hesitation and relied on his influence to prevent those scribes from being tortured.
Since the emperor has used thunderous means to deal with Yang Tinghe's subordinates, Yang Tinghe must also do his best to protect those people.
The monarch and the minister are equivalent to opening up a second battlefield in addition to the court game.
……
……
Yang Shen took Yang Tinghe's note and went to Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town in a panic.
Now Yang
Shen is also worried.
Even if his father has the heart to help, he is afraid that the group of people in Jinyiwei will not give his father face, after all, most of the shoufu scholars' strips are only in the six departments and the temple yamen, and if they ask about Jinyiwei, without the permission of the emperor, they belong to arrogance, and most of the people who are now in charge of Jinyiwei are from Xingwangfu, how can they care about Yang Tinghe and ignore the king?
But when he arrived at the door of Fusi in Beizhen and handed over the note, Yang Shen was still able to enter smoothly.
Even Wang Zuo, who carried out this matter, came out to greet him in person.
"Yang Hanlin, you shouldn't have come."
Wang Zuo said with a smile.
Yang Shen was too lazy to talk to Wang Zuo, because he knew that Wang Zuo was just following orders, what weight could such a person say?
Yang Shen said, "Take me to see Commander Zhu."
Wang Zuo smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Shangguan Zhu is not here."
"Who's there, then? The envoy of the North Town Fu Si is always there, right?" Yang Shen asked sharply.
Wang Zuo still smiled and shook his head.
Probably means, it's useless for you to find anyone, I'm alone, and I'm in charge of this matter now, what do you like?
Yang Shen was very annoyed and asked, "You Jinyi Wei took down more than fifty people at a time, have you ever submitted an official document to the Criminal Department?" What are they guilty of? Have you said hello at Dali Temple? Where are the people now, I will go and see them."
Wang Zuo could see that Yang Shen was deliberately angry with him to show that he was very angry, or that Yang Tinghe behind him was very angry.
It is a deterrent method.
Wang Zuo said: "Even if Yang Hanlin has letters from the elders, he can only visit one or two of them, and as for the matter of the edict and prison trial, I ask Yang Hanlin to forgive me, these matters are under the jurisdiction of the emperor's order, and he does not dare to advocate without permission."
Meaning, we give you and your dad face and let you meet one or two people.
But don't come and guide us in what we do.
We are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and we only obey the emperor's orders, and you obey your father's orders, and your father can't control the Jinyi Guard.
"Lead the way!"
Yang Shen waved his hand.
Wang Zuo was puzzled, "But I don't know, who do you want to see?"
Yang Shen didn't think about it and said, "See Zhu Hao, where is he?"
……
……
As Zhu Hao expected, it was impossible for Yang Tinghe to ignore the matter of Zhong Hanlin being imprisoned.
And Yang Tinghe's way of asking questions is actually very simple, that is, to greet Jinyiwei with the power of the elder.
Does the emperor want to punish these Hanlin and prisoners severely?
Not necessarily.
Didn't the emperor know how much impact it would have if he severely punished these people?
Just like when Zhu Houzhao was going to go on patrol, a group of people from the Hanlin Academy went to kneel and admonish, beat a lot of boards and put them outside, but in the end, they were forced to cancel the patrol.
No matter how foolish the emperor is, he must also take into account the pressure of public opinion.
The Jinyi guards below probably didn't dare to do anything to these Hanlin, but they were afraid that their orders would be urgent.
What Yang Tinghe has to do is to reveal the game between the monarch and the ministers to the people in charge of Jinyiwei, so that they can understand that you Jinyiwei entertained these Hanlin with torture today, and in the future, I, Yang, will greet you in the same way!
In this way, Jinyiwei will have some concerns, and he will obviously obey the emperor's orders, but secretly he will have to give Yang Ting and face.
In the end, torture will definitely be abolished, and even if it is to be used, it will definitely not break the bones......
Don't wait for the emperor to reach some kind of compromise agreement with Yang Tinghe, and bring out the people who are tortured today as cannon fodder, who knows if it will be a big deal?
Yang Shen didn't understand why his father took the initiative to get involved in this kind of thing, but from Zhu Hao's standpoint, Yang Tinghe would definitely take care of it.
As for prison visits or something......
Zhu Hao wasn't very sure, but he was worried.
After all, Zhu Hao is the "protagonist" in this incident, everyone is jointly signed, with him as the leader, then Yang Tinghe sent someone to Beizhen Fusi Prison to verify whether Jinyiwei was tortured, and he must come to find it first
He viewed.
Sure enough, he was waited for by Zhu Hao.
When Yang Shen saw Zhu Hao, he saw Zhu Hao sitting on a wooden shelf covered with straw, reading a book in his hand.
Yang Shen shouted: "Open the door!"
At this time, Zhu Hao raised his head and glanced at the door.
Zhu Hao had a few straws on his head, and his face was pale, probably because of the cold, after all, there was not even a brazier for heating in the cell, and as soon as Zhu Hao breathed, his mouth and nose let out a lot of white gas.
"Yang Hanlin, please don't make it difficult for you to be lowly in your position."
Wang Zuo personally followed, and said with a smile at this time.
Yang Shen also saw that it was not good for him to be too strong, maybe this group of Jinyi guards turned their faces and locked him in, in this winter, even if they didn't need any punishment, they couldn't stand it if they lived in it.
It's okay during the day, but how do you spend it at night?
Yang Shen's tone was a little calmer and said, "I'm just going in and talking to him for a few words, and then I'll leave, and I won't delay your business."
"That...... Open the door."
Wang Zuo asked people to open the door, and seemed to know that staying might disturb the conversation between Yang Shen and Zhu Hao, so he immediately avoided it for the time being, which was regarded as giving Yang Ting and the father and son face, and then reminded again, "Say it as soon as possible, and make tea." Yang Hanlin is convenient for his humble position, and it is also convenient for himself."
……
……
Yang Shen entered the cell and was about to cry when he saw the surrounding environment.
Yang Shen was indeed very self-blaming.
Now Zhu Hao, as the chief signatory, has assumed the punishment that he was supposed to receive, and he was locked up in such a vulgar and simple cold place, which made Yang Shen really unable to see it.
"Jingdao, there's nothing to say, if you need anything, just mention it to me, and I'll send someone to your house to get your house ready." Yang Shen said.
Zhu Hao shook his head with a smile: "No, the people of Jinyiwei are quite polite, saying that they have sent people to each house to greet each family, and let each family prepare things, it is estimated that they will be sent over soon."
Yang Shen smiled bitterly, "They're blackmail! Let each family send silver! ...... who do not give silver. You don't have to worry, I'll take care of it over there. Alas! At this point, you can still laugh? You...... Do you still have the heart to read?"
Zhu Haobian flattened his mouth: "It's good here, although it's a little colder, but I'm wearing a lot of clothes today, with tiles covering my head, the best thing is very quiet...... The people of Jinyiwei have been quite polite so far, and they asked them for a book, and they really found a copy to come over, and they can read the book here and think about the past, which is quite reassuring."
"Alas!"
Yang Shen was sighing again.
No matter what prejudices Yang Shen had about Zhu Hao before, or felt that Zhu Hao was a little too casual and hated him.
But now, he admires Zhu Hao.
is not shocked, it is probably the state of Zhu Hao in front of him.
