Chapter 301: He Ruo's Conviction
At the end of April, Yang Ming received a letter from his father, to the effect that he planned to visit the Jiangdu south after the summer, and asked Yang Ming how things were going.
It seems that Dad is planning to solve He Ruobi's problem before going to Jiangdu.
Yu Wenshi and there has been no news recently, Yang Ming thought that there was no progress in the matter, but after summoning the other party to inquire, he found out that He Ruobi's ancestors of the eighteenth generation had been found out by him.
The thick stack of incriminating evidence was placed in front of Yang Ming, and Yang Ming picked up some of them casually and flipped through them, which was already shocking.
After a while, Yang Ming frowned and said:
"Let you check, not let you plant, have you confirmed the content on this?"
"Your Highness let go, and His Majesty guarantees that none of them are fake," Yu Wenshi and Zhengse said: "Time is pressing, there is only omission, and there is no false report." ”
Yang Mingjiang put down the file and said, "I won't read it, you can give me a rough number." ”
Yu Wenshi nodded: "In the first year of the emperor's opening, Emperor Gaozu granted the thief the governor of Wuzhou, responsible for passing through the south of the Yangtze River, during this period, this thief falsely reported the military salary as much as 1.3 million yuan, and where the money was used is not traceable. ”
"Wait," Yang Ming raised his hand and said, "There is no way to check, how did you get this number?" More than 20 years of things, can you find out now? ”
"Yes," Yu Wenshi said: "Back then, there were many people who offended him because of the fact that they offended him over the years, and there were not a few people who were dismissed from office. ”
"The words of the sinners cannot be used as confessions, don't you know?" Yang Ming frowned.
Yu Wenshi was stunned for a moment, thinking that you are doing things for your father, and you also pay attention to these? Kaihuang Law can't control you, right?
"Your Majesty probably doesn't care who the confession comes from, right?" Yu Wenshi and tentatively asked.
Yang Ming vaguely felt that the big pile of incriminating evidence compiled by this kid in front of him was probably not small.
"You go on," Yang Ming said.
Yu Wenshi was relieved and continued: "It was Han Baohu who attacked Jiankang first, and then He Ruobi, and they were also the ones who looted the old Chen Palace. ”
"Wait," Yang Ming raised his hand again, frowned, and said, "Don't mention it again." ”
Yu Wenshi was stunned and said, "Why does Your Highness think that there is no need to mention it again?" ”
"Do you really need me to explain?" Yang Ming asked rhetorically: "Your father didn't get the money back then?" ”
Yu Wenshi was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and pondered.
Yes, his father Yu Wenshu also participated in the battle to destroy Chen back then, and when everyone shared the money, he also took the lion's share.
Although many people know about this matter, it will not see the light after all, and no one will say it in the open.
If He Ruobi is really to be held accountable for embezzling the property of the old Chen Palace, this matter will inevitably be involved, and those who will receive the money at that time will not blame He Ruobi, but will blame him for doing things unfavorably.
Because the people who shared the money back then are now the eldest of the elders, and they can't afford to offend.
It's so dangerous, and he almost made an enemy for Grandpa invisibly, Yu Wenshi hurriedly said: "Your Highness reminds you that your majesty is negligent." ”
"Go on," Yang Ming waved his hand helplessly.
Next, how much land He Ruobi occupied, how much money he swallowed, and how many things he said that should not be said, Yu Wenshi and the reciprocal recounted.
In one sentence: The Bi family treasures are incalculable, and there are countless concubines and concubines.
Yu Wenshi and summed up in four words: rich and rival the country.
It is obviously inappropriate to clean up He Ruobi on this charge, because he is much richer than He Ruobi, and He Ruobi's means of making money is not his patent alone, and many people make money like this.
When Dad was the king of Jin, didn't he make money? I'm afraid Bihe Ruobi is even more ruthless, right?
He Ruobi's little family property is not necessarily one-tenth of Yang Su's.
So Yang Ming asked: "So in the opinion of Shi Ji, what crime is appropriate for Bi to convict?" ”
Yu Wenshi and directly said: "Corrupt and pervert the law, and there is no king." ”
"If the first four words are removed, let's be convicted with the last four words," Yang Ming said.
Yu Wenshi and the lake are painted again, isn't the bigger the crime, the better?
"This thief is clearly guilty, why does His Highness want to protect it?"
Yang Ming's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice: "The four words of corruption and perversion of the law, Ling Zun is also applicable, today he will be punished with this crime, and he can also be punished with this crime in the future, think about it carefully." ”
Yu Wenshi was stunned for a moment, and after pondering for a long time, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
It seems that from the Kaihuang period to the present, there are really few people who have been given to the dead for corruption, and in my impression, it seems to be Yan Rong.
Today, Your Majesty has not given death to a minister for this crime, so this precedent really cannot be set.
Because his father Yu Wenshu is indeed corrupt and perverts the law, not only his father, but there are many people who are corrupt and pervert the law.
He understood what Yang Ming meant, he couldn't use corruption to kill people, in other words, the crime of corruption and corruption would not lead to death, leaving room for others, and also leaving a way out for himself.
Learned, learned.......
Yu Wenshi and suddenly changed his respectful face and said: "Your Highness's words, Daigo empowerment, Your Majesty has been taught." ”
Yang Ming said: "Since the evidence of the crime is collected by you, then you can report it, and hand it over to this king after the music is prepared, and I can sign and seal it." ”
Yu Wenshi and wait for this sentence, you want me to carry the pot, hey, I am willing to carry this pot, I didn't expect it, right?
"I'll go and prepare,"
In addition to the powerful ministers and favored ministers, there is actually another kind called lonely ministers.
What is called a lonely minister, that is, except for the emperor, the rest of the people are unhappy with you, Yang Ming can see that this kid Sangou seems to be quite willing to ask the emperor for credit in his own name, so it's okay.
This will make Yuwenshu go farther and farther on the road of Guchen, and Guchen is destined not to have much influence.
Aren't you going to marry the second one? Then look at how big waves you can set off for the lonely king and lonely ministers.
From many aspects, in fact, Yang Yun can no longer pose a threat to him, and Yu Wenshu is just his last straw.
Now, at least on the surface, Yang Ming has gained the support of the clan, and behind him, there is the full support of the Hongnong Yang family and the Hedong Pei family.
Because Yang Su and Pei Ju are both speakers in their respective families, their positions represent the positions of their families to a great extent.
And Li Yuan is an old fox, he seems to be inclined to Yang Ming on the surface, but he actually leaves room for himself, he belongs to the kind of person who Yang Ming is weak and can fall into the well, but Yang Ming is weak, but he will not send carbon in the snow.
And Chen Shuyi's family can provide Yang Ming with great help in the Jiangnan area in the future, and it is still in the rising stage, and Yang Ming will try his best to help.
......
Before the child was three years old, Yang Ming was still very spoiled, and the second son Yang Jin was at this stage.
He doesn't want his children to be divided into concubines, they are all his own flesh and blood, there is no difference between high and low, at this point, Yang Yinjiang is very reasonable and treats Yang Jin as his own.
Holding the child in his arms, Yang Ming smiled at Pei Shuying: "The child is like you." ”
Pei Shuying frowned suddenly: "No, like you." ”
After speaking, she sneered out loud, yes, the child is like her, but the woman doesn't want others to say that the child is like the mother, although she knows that Yang Ming doesn't care about this, but she cares.
The advantage of having money is that the child does not need to be taken care of by himself, Yang Ming just hugged it for a while, and the nurse next to him took the child over.
Because Yang Ming held the child in the wrong position, the child was very uncomfortable.
"There are a lot of things going on now, I really miss the days when I was alone with you before, carefree, how good," After the nurse left, Pei Shuying snuggled into Yang Ming's arms and said: "You know, I don't like to stay at home, if you want to go out in the future, you must take me." ”
Yang Ming smiled: "What if you go out to lead?" ”
"You have to take me with you," Pei Shuying said: "I have privately asked someone to tailor a set of armor stomachs for me, and you also know my riding skills, and I won't hold you back." ”
Yang Ming nodded: "Okay, it's up to you." ”
"There's one thing that's very strange," Pei Shuying suddenly said: "In the letter that Grandpa gave me a few years ago, he hoped that I would practice riding and archery more, and it was best to learn some martial arts, and the tone was quite serious, you said, why did Grandpa tell me like this?" ”
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, frowning and silent.
Perhaps, Pei Ju, like Gao Gong, can already foresee the future of the Great Sui.
People, there are three years old to see the old one, and what Daddy Yang Guang has done in the past two years in power, perhaps in the eyes of Pei Ju and Gao Gong, can already foresee what the situation will be in the next few years.
As Gao Gong said, in the long run, the country will be in chaos.
On the Luoyang side, Yang Yue came to a letter, Runan County, Yuzhou, Zhenyang, Xinxi, Shangcai, and Pingyu counties, all of which had civil uprisings during the canal.
The people revolted together, and the damage was too great, because once the people rebelled, the officials and the people were killed.
This civil unrest, because it was discovered early, was suppressed quickly, but it also caused immeasurable damage to Runan County.
Although there were only more than 3,000 thieves who rebelled this time, the disaster in the surrounding townships was too serious, and the people suffered more than 70,000 or 80,000 people, so that the farmland in the four counties was deserted, the ploughing cattle were not left, and the houses were withered.
But this popular uprising was suppressed by Luoyang, and very few people knew about it, Yang Yue thought that Yu Wenkai should report to the emperor, but he would definitely not say it to others.
If you don't let people know about this kind of thing, it's better not to let people know about it, for fear that someone will follow you.
And Yang Ming, after listening to Pei Shuying's words, deeply agreed with Pei Ju's point of view, not to mention anything else, if he goes out to lead the army to fight in the future, once the Beijing division is in an emergency, it will inevitably affect his own family, and he doesn't want this situation to happen.
Just like when Li Yuan rebelled in Taiyuan, he forgot to call his son Li Zhiyun away from Daxing, so that he was chopped up by the Yin World Master.
Your family must be protected, who knows what the future will be?
"In that case, you can learn from Ah Lou, she is proficient in riding and archery martial arts, and she is not an outsider," Yang Ming nodded and instructed.
Pei Shuying suddenly frowned: "So, you and Grandpa have the same thoughts, what are you two hiding from me?" ”
"How so?" Yang Ming hurriedly said with a smile: "I understand Pei Gong's concerns, after all, I am very likely to go out to fight often in the future, and you are not by my side, I am also very worried, after all, when I leave, I will take away the upper part of the mansion, so that the defense of the palace is empty, and your safety will also be affected." ”
Pei Shuying nodded: "I understand, especially now that the prince is unknown, and he doesn't know what will happen, Yin Jiang often tells me to guard against everyone, and now it seems that she has a vision." ”
Then, she said: "I'm not familiar with Ah Lou, after all, people are the ones who serve the Holy Queen, I can't treat them as others, you'd better help me say hello to others." ”
Yang Ming nodded: "This is very necessary, not only you have to learn, but they also have to learn." ”
Pei Shuying snorted and leaned into Yang Ming's arms,
"Don't move, I want to fall asleep in your arms, and when I am asleep, you will carry me to the bed."
Yang Ming nodded, put his cheek on the top of his wife's head, patted her back gently, and hummed a song tune that he forgot he heard from.
After a while, Pei Shuying's breathing gradually stabilized, but Yang Ming did not let go.......
.......
According to Ah Lou, Feng'er's martial arts are very strong, and she can also be a master, otherwise she would be too tired to teach her alone.
Princess Yinjiang and Concubine Shuying have a little foundation, but the others are completely beginners, and Li Xiuning can't ride a horse, which makes Ah Lou feel a big headache, isn't it good to be idle every day? Why send me such drudgery?
Yan Xiaotang's most unexpected thing is that she was also counted, which made her feel very honored, especially Pei Shuying, who was really easy to get along with, and did not regard her concubine as a subordinate, but treated her equally.
So, Yan Xiaotang subconsciously regarded Pei Shuying as his backer.
As for Yang Ming, after these Celestial Dynasty meetings, he would meet with Shi Wansui to discuss He Ruobi's affairs.
"Alas, although I have long looked at him unpleasantly, I don't want to watch him end up like this," Shi Wansui sighed after taking a few sips of wine.
Yang Ming also sighed and said: "There is no way, no one can stop my father's idea of beating him, he doesn't remember his kindness, even if I try my best to protect him, people may not think of me." ”
He Ruobi is useless to Yang Ming, and Yang Ming can't control others at all.
If you are hard-protected, Yang Guang is not happy, He Ruobi doesn't know how to be grateful, and Yang Ming suffers inside and out, so he won't do this.
】
Shi Wansui nodded: "He's a person, he has a character of success, and he has a character of defeat, he used to be pressed by Gao Gong Yang Su, and he was still restrained, but now, look at his attitude of commanding people at the court meeting these days, as if he was in charge of the garrison of the Beijing Division, he dared to call me?" ”
Then, Shi Wansui sighed repeatedly.
It's a little bit of a rabbit and a fox, but it's also a little sympathetic, and heroes are heroes.
The four people in the Great Sui Martial Temple, now only he and He Ruobi are left, and the two of them are also the most famous in today's battles in addition to Gao Gong.
Shi Wanzai even felt that as soon as He Ruobi died, would it be his turn next?
Yang Ming raised his glass and said: "It won't be long before there will be a will on the Luoyang side, I don't want to do the matter of killing people and raiding my family, don't go either, you will offend people." ”
Shi Wansui was stunned and said: "Right now, you are in charge of the Jingshi, and Your Majesty's will will definitely make you responsible, who will you do if you don't do it?" ”
"Raid the house, it doesn't take many people, just let Yu Wenshi go, doesn't he really want to show this face? It is enough to allocate five thousand to him," Yang Ming frowned and said:
"But if something happens to He Ruobi, the right guard is afraid that there will be chaos, I want to take the eldest grandson Cheng to lead the right guard, Qu Tutong to lead the left guard, and take over one step in advance to the various battalions of the right guard, so as not to mutiny in the army."
Shi Wansui nodded and said: "It's very necessary, but I'm afraid it's not easy, you send someone to take over, you must know that something happened over there, I'm afraid a dispute can't be avoided, do you want to say hello to Zheng Yuanshou and Wei Baoluan in advance, it's convenient to meet the outside." ”
Yang Ming shook his head and said: "It's not proper, these two people have long been set aside by He Ruobi, and they have no real power at all, and the two people who have never been on the battlefield can't suppress the elite soldiers in the army, but they will startle the snake." ”
Shi Wansui sighed again: "Since they are two chicks, I really don't know why Your Majesty would put them in such an important position." ”
"Good background, hard background, it's as simple as that," Yang Ming said with a smile: "I have a general in Dasui, and there is no shortage of people to charge into battle, but when you invite merit and receive rewards, you have to stand aside." ”
Shi Wansui laughed at himself: "I have a deep understanding. ”
His words were an allusion to Yang Su's competition with him back then.
.......
If you want to solve He Ruobi smoothly as soon as possible, you must succeed in one fell swoop with the momentum of thunder that is not as fast as it can be concealed.
The longer it drags on, the bigger the mess.
Yang Jian's killing of He Ruobi and Yang Guang's killing of He Ruobi are two completely different concepts, the former is simple, the latter is difficult, because everything about He Ruobi was given by Yang Jian, so it will be easy to take it back.
This difficult errand was given to his son to do, but his son didn't want to carry this pot, otherwise it would be recorded in the future history books that Yang Ming killed the hero.
He Ruobi's merits are worthy of corruption and perversion of the law, but they cannot be worthy of the king.
Convicted Guogong, Dali Temple, Criminal Department, and Yushitai all got people, Yang Wang of Dali Temple, and Wei Xuan of the Criminal Department are now all in Beijing, and they have nothing to do with He Ruobi.
The boss of the Imperial History Terrace is Zhang Heng, the imperial historian, and there are two people who serve the imperial history, one is called Lu Zhiming and the other is Liu Ziyi, and all three of them followed Yang Guang.
Further down, there are eight servants, four of whom are in Beijing, namely Huang Fenglin, Chen Xiaoyi, Pei Lian, and You Yuan.
Yushitai, there is no one who is disloyal to the emperor, so it is absolutely reliable, of course, history proves that Pei Lin is an exception.
But Yang Ming was still worried about leaking the news in advance, because this matter was too big, so he couldn't be cautious, if He Ruobi received the news in advance, it would be a great thing.
So he used the excuse of adjusting the garrison, and ordered Shi Xiang, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, to transfer 5,000 soldiers and horses from the military government and hand them over to Yuwenshi and command, and then in the name of going to Longxi to resist Tuguhun, he gave Changsun Cheng and Qu Tutong a warrant to transfer troops, so that they could go out of the city to transfer troops and take over the right guard.
The Great Sui transferred troops, and the old system of Qin, Han, and Jin was also used, that is, the tiger talisman, but it changed from a crouching tiger to a standing tiger, and the sixteen guards all had specific sixteen tiger talismans, but Yang Ming did not have them in his hand, they were all in Yang Guang's place.
So he can only use the warrant of King Qin, and now he is the garrison of the Beijing Division, so his warrant, the sixteen guards are recognized, the only flaw is that for each military palace, his upper limit can only be to transfer 5,000 troops, not more, this is Daddy's hand to defend him.
In case of special circumstances, such as the danger of the Beijing Division, Yang Ming can mobilize all the troops and horses after consulting with the generals of the Weifu.
Military power needs to be controlled, and there are many rules and regulations in it, and Yang Guang will not hand over military power unless it is absolutely necessary.
At the end of May, Yang Guang's edict came, and He Ruobi's final crime was to slander the king, give death to copy the family, exile the sons, and the two brothers Wudu County Gonghe Ruolong, Wanrong County Gonghe Ruodong, cut the lord for the people.
After receiving the holy decree, Yang Ming urgently summoned the officials of Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Yushitai to prepare for action.
