Chapter 572: Why Isn't That Kind of Person?
Sure enough, a few days later, in the next court meeting, the impeachment against Yang Ling was overwhelming.
"The minister impeached the general without the king's law, and acted arrogantly!"
"The general has reached an agreement with the thief leader without authorization, and his heart can be punished!"
Impeachments like this can be said to be endless.
What's even more speechless is that someone even reported Yang Ling for corruption and bribery!
Most of the courtiers sensed the direction of the wind from Li Fu's impeachment of Yang Ling last time.
So they all followed Li Fu and rushed to impeach Yang Ling to Cao Pi.
Although there were also Zhang Xiu, Xin Ping, Xin Bi and others who pleaded for Yang Ling, most of the courtiers still chose to fall into the ground!
And this time, Cao Pi's attitude is not as resolute as before!
"Are you going to rebel?"
Cao Pi's face was cold and authentic,
"The general has made great contributions to the imperial court, and you slander him so much?"
"We don't dare!"
The ministers said in unison, but they didn't have the slightest intention of backing down.
At this moment, Sima Yi coughed lightly and said lightly,
"Your Majesty, so many courtiers impeached the general together, it is reasonable and reasonable, and this matter should be thoroughly investigated!"
"If the general didn't do anything wrong, it would be good to give the general a clean slate, and deal with the person who framed the general!"
Cao Pi's face softened, and he looked at Yang Lingdao,
"What Zhong Da said also makes some sense, I don't know what the general thinks?"
Yang Ling's face was indifferent.
"The ministers listen to Your Majesty in everything!"
"That's good!"
Cao Pi nodded with satisfaction, and said to Sima Yi again,
"Zhongda, it's up to you to take full responsibility for this!"
"Command!"
"You must remember that this matter must be strictly investigated, and the general must be innocent!"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
Watching Cao Pi and Sima Yi perform one by one, a sneer appeared on Yang Ling's face.
After the court meeting was over and the ministers dispersed, Cao Pi was just about to get up and leave, but he saw Xiahou Shang, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen still standing in the hall.
"Boren (Xiahou Shangzi), what else do you have to do?"
Several people glanced at each other, and Xiahou Shang, who was still the closest to Cao Pi, took the initiative to speak,
"Your Majesty, the general has always been above board and above board, and he is by no means a rebel in the mouth of those courtiers."
"Yes, with his family property, how can he embezzle military funds?"
"Your Majesty ordered a strict investigation of the general, I am afraid that it will chill the general and the officers and soldiers in the army!"
Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen also nodded in agreement.
Cao Pi frowned slightly, but then chuckled,
"Boren, Wenlie, Zidan, don't be nervous."
"These ministers have been impeaching the general, and I just want to restore the general's innocence."
"As long as Sima Yi investigates clearly, it should be fine."
It's okay if Cao Pi doesn't say it, but saying this makes Cao Xiu and the others even more nervous.
Everyone knows that Sima Yi and Yang Ling have never dealt with each other, but the two have a lot of grudges!
Let Sima Yi check Yang Ling, even if there is no problem, the problem can be found.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let Taiwei (Jia Xu), Tingwei (Guo Jia) and others review this matter?"
Cao Zhen suggested.
"I've already made up my mind about this matter, so don't meddle in this matter anymore!"
Just kidding, Jia Xu and Guo Jia are both upright people, and they have a good relationship with Yang Ling.
Let them investigate Yang Ling, how can they find out the results?
And the reason why Cao Pi put Sima Yi in charge of this matter is to rectify Yang Ling!
Seeing that he was already a little displeased, although Xiahou Shang and the others were unwilling, they could only give up,
"We will obey Your Majesty's will!"
They got up and left, talking in low voices as they left the palace.
"Great Wei can have today's prosperous era, thanks to the work of the general, how can Your Majesty be so confused that he sent someone to investigate the general?"
Cao Zhen said and sighed.
"Zidan is still too naïve, haven't you understood it yet?"
Xiahou Shang couldn't help but shake his head.
When Cao Zhen heard this, his expression was a little dazed.
"Do you really think that those courtiers spontaneously impeached the general?"
Cao Xiu lowered his voice and said with a serious face.
Cao Zhen was a little abrupt at this time,
"What do you mean...... Your Majesty instructed them to do this? ”
"Not bad!"
Xiahou Shang nodded heavily.
Seeing that they had left the palace, the three of them found a secluded place and began to talk.
"Don't look at Your Majesty's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, but I'm afraid that this time he deliberately targeted the general."
Xiahou Shang sighed.
"Your Majesty isn't that kind of person, is he?"
Cao Zhen hesitated.
"Why isn't Your Majesty that kind of person?"
Xiahou Shang rolled his eyes.
He, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen all grew up with Cao Pi, and they are most familiar with each other's personalities.
If Cao Pi wasn't a cautious person, he wouldn't have wanted to kill Cao Hong before!
"If that's the case, what should we do?"
Cao Xiu frowned.
The three of them looked at each other speechlessly, and their faces were a little embarrassed.
On one side is Yang Ling, who is regarded as an idol by them, and on the other hand, the king of a country, they really don't know what to do.
"Well, if Your Majesty goes too far, I will never stand idly by."
"At that time, even if you go to invite the Queen Mother, you must stop Your Majesty's ridiculous behavior!"
Xiahou Shang's face was solemn.
"Okay, just do as you say!"
The other two also nodded in agreement.
For them, Yang Ling is not only an idol, but also a pillar of Cao Wei's town.
If Cao Pi intends to get rid of Yang Ling, he is afraid that it will lead to chaos in the government and politics!
Since they are royal relatives, they naturally will not sit idly by.
……
Yang Ling didn't know anything about Xiahou Shang and the others' concern for him.
Because he had just returned to the house, and before he had time to catch his breath, he saw Zhou Cang come to report,
"General, Sima Yi brought someone here, saying that he wanted to search the mansion!"
didn't wait for Yang Ling to speak, but Cao Qing on the side was in a hurry.
"This Sima Yi is too presumptuous!"
"Madame, don't be impatient, let's go meet him first."
Yang Ling smiled and comforted Cao Qing a few words, and then walked towards the front yard.
In the front hall, Sima Yizheng was sitting there on the ground.
Sima Fu and Sima Kui stood behind him, and outside the hall, a large number of soldiers brought by Sima Yi were in a stalemate with Yang Ling's personal soldiers led by Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao.
"Sima Zhongda, what does this mean?"
Yang Ling asked lightly.
"Please forgive me, I also came to search on the orders of His Majesty, and I want to return the general's innocence!"
Sima Yipi said with a smile on his face.
"Shall I say no?"
Yang Ling asked rhetorically.
"We are acting according to orders, and if you resist, it will be rebellion!"
"That's right, we'll kill you on the spot!"
Sima Fu and Sima Kui sang and harmonized.
"If it weren't for me, where would you two be standing here talking?"
"I'm talking to your brother, and you're interjecting?"
Yang Ling scolded coldly.
