Chapter Ninety-Nine: Accusation and Split (5)
"Where is Lord Ye? Take me to him! ”
The sound of hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor, getting closer and closer to the study, only to hear a 'squeak', the door in front of him was opened, Ye Yongjia got up and saw that it was Cai Xianqing and Dong Sheng.
"What's the matter with Cai Shilang?" Ye Yongjia calmly motioned for Wan Yuzhi behind him to sit down, turned his head and asked.
"Are you crazy?" Cai Xianqing looked at him with incredulous eyes, "You said in the letter before that you can't make things too big; Why did you suddenly change your mind and want to go against the two Si Ban? They are royal relatives and nobles, and they are not comparable to Chen Tongpao and other generations, once they break up, how can they win! ”
Ye Yongjia was expressionless: "It seems that you already know." ”
"It doesn't matter how I know, I just want to ask you, is it good for you and me to expose the imperial uncle at this time?"
Ye Yongjia replied slowly: "Old Cai, today's court meeting is extraordinary, even the prince came forward to help Chen Dang speak, and reprimanded me repeatedly. The situation is so urgent, and I have no choice but to do it. ”
"It is precisely because the prince conspired with him that we can't afford to provoke him!" Cai Xianqing couldn't help but sigh.
"Old Cai, you still don't understand, the initiative is no longer in our hands," Ye Yongjia was extremely anxious, and frowned tightly, "Taisu and Cunzhao clearly want to put me to death and impeach me!" They won't stop until they finish this goal. You think they are hiding and don't dare to speak out, but in fact, they are asking the prince to come forward for them, so as to incite the ministers and organize an impeachment. ”
Ye knew that the prince must not be provoked, so he came up with a way to delay the time and get out temporarily. But how could Uncle Taisu spare me? Seeing that the prince was powerless, he would not hesitate to overstep his authority and personally write a letter of impeachment - this is also the plan I have set to lure the snake out of the hole. As soon as Taisu shows his head, we can catch one or two of his handles and say that he is a 'conspiracy and false accusation', so that we can clear his guilt. Now I'm afraid I can only take this Huashan road. ”
Cai Xianqing listened to his words as if they were reasonable, so he also calmed down and paced and thought for a while.
"Ye Da ......"
"He's right," Dong Sheng next to him still wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by Cai Xianqing, whose eyes were very firm, "Other than that, we have no way out." However, if you want to succeed, you need to bring down the emperor's uncles and nephews at the same time, and it is simply difficult to ascend to the sky......"
"If I don't put my mind to it, I won't be able to sit in my current position," Ye Yongjia flicked the table and picked up the written recital, "I'm already used to fighting alone, so why not add a few more opponents?" This break is nothing more than life and death! ”
Wan Yuzhi and Dong Sheng saw that the two of them had the heart to see death as home, and they couldn't help but be impassioned, and said one after another: "We are all willing to follow the Ye Army!" ”
"Your Excellency!" The 'oath' here had just ended, and a scrivener rushed in, "Ye Shangshu, the emperor has an order, announce that you will go to the palace to see you!" ”
Ye Yongjia immediately looked at everyone else, and Dong Sheng walked over and said, "Shangshu and go to see the emperor first, put down the paperwork, and come back to discuss it." ”
"No," Ye Yongjia shook his head slightly, "The situation in the dormitory is unknown, if it is the meeting of the Hongmen, what should I do?" Wan Yuzhi, you take my music and go with me! ”
Taisu impatiently wrote an impeachment article that night and handed it over to Cunzhao to read. Cun Zhao was overjoyed, that is, he suggested that the prince bring him into the palace and present it to the emperor. Because of his identity and unwillingness to be involved in these disputes, the prince categorically refused to allow it. Cun Zhao had no choice but to retreat and think of another strategy, persuading the prince to convene more than 30 important ministers in the name of discussing major matters, so that the emperor could gather more than 30 important ministers to discuss in front of the emperor. The prince reluctantly agreed, and went to the dormitory, saying that Taisu had a book to play, and summoned officials of all ministries and departments, a total of thirty-five people, standing under His Majesty, east and west.
Ye Yongjia's road was not in a hurry, he seemed to be waiting for a big show, and he would wait until everything was complete before he thought about singing on stage. The time was as he expected, and when he arrived in the dormitory, he didn't make everyone wait too long.
"Minister Ye Yongjia knocks on the emperor." Ye Yongjia took Wan Yuzhi and passed under the sharp gazes on both sides, and made a big bow in front of the emperor's gauze tent, bowing three times and bowing nine times. The orange candlelight around him illuminated the robe he had dragged on the floor.
"Okay," under the emperor's right shoulder, it was the emperor's uncle Taisu, who was able to sit on a circle chair because of his advanced age, and when he raised his hand, his fingertips almost touched the candlestick, "Lord Ye, continue to kneel, no one will tell you to stand up." ”
"Understood." Ye Yongjia replied lightly, but he was still respectful when he listened, but one of his hands was quietly hidden in his clothes and stretched out into his arms.
"You can go to the side first." Taisu pointed at Wan Yuzhi, who turned pale with fright and hurriedly retreated to the side.
"Ye Bingbu, there is no need to be so pretended, your opinion of me is obvious," Tai Su stretched his sleeves and took out a stack of papers from behind him, "I won't be polite to you anymore, because today this division is going to impeach you!" ”
Ye Yongjia touched the corner of the book, slowly lifted it, and fell out halfway, without making a sound.
Taisu then stood up, ignoring the surprised faces left and right, opened the song, and read aloud:
"The rebel minister Ye Yongjia, originally the son of the loyal minister Ye Long, his father was forced by the willow thief and died unjustly, but he ignored the hatred of killing his father, flattered the Liu Party, and borrowed it as the way of fame, which is unfilial; It is unkind to disrupt the government with Niu Yuan, poor soldiers and harm the people, resulting in the disaster of blessing and wide, and the people are displaced; When the Liu Party was in decline, it was unjust to betray the benefactor and turn ruthlessly in order to achieve its first credit; and colluding with villains, comparing friends with the party, and recommending each other, this is disloyal......"
Ye Yongjia shook the paperwork down again, shook it all out, and landed on his lap.
"Just ask the emperor, let me ask you, this person has these four evils, how dare he be arrogant in the government and the opposition!" Taisu turned around and knelt down to the emperor tremblingly, "Please don't be appeased, Your Majesty, that is, punish Ye Yongjia quickly, so as to become the hope of the government and the people!" ”
"Uncle Huang is right, punish him!" Guo Xiang people said viciously, and everyone also shouted together, that Wan Yuzhi was in the crowd, although he didn't move, but the cold sweat was coming down from his head, and his feet couldn't stand still.
"What do you have to say about that?" Cun Zhao also pointed at Ye Yongjia and asked.
Ye Yongjia slowly raised his head, and the documents in his hand gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes. He looked at Cun Zhao and smiled slightly: "Ye...... I also want to tell the old emperor a few words, you need to listen to the truth. ”
